"Save As" no longer works

As of last week my CS3 version will no longer let me choose "Save As" and modify the name of the working file to something else, the button is shaded out. As soon as I choose an already existing file name in the folder listed does it make the button active. I can not just alter the file name already shown in the field. I am thinking this is a virus, but searches come up blank. Since I haven't upgraded or changed anything lately, I am looking for anyone else who has this issue.

Might be helpful to list some system specifics. At this point we don't even know whether you're using a Mac or PC.

Pasting from a web page into a File-Save dialog no longer works; causes a freeze-up

When I place an order on Amazon, I copy the order number, then print the invoice to .pdf. When the file save dialog comes up, I paste in the order number as part of the file name. I used to, that is. At some point the pasting part no longer worked: nothing (visible anyway) is pasted, but something is happening, as the file save process hangs, and I have to use task manager to kill it. Then, the print process is trashed - if you try to print again, you get an error - and I have to restart Firefox to clear that.
This copy/paste procedure works fine in IE & Chrome.

The only way I was able to reproduce what you described is to run the script after copying a picture.
Here is a refined version.
It make two attempts to grab text items from the clipboard.
If both failed, it send an error message.
--[SCRIPT table2text]
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : table2text.app
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Applications.
Copiez vos données dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > table2text
Le presse-papiers sera alimenté par le composant Text ou utf8 du contenu initial.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: table2text.app
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy your block of datas to the Clipboard.
menu Scripts > table2text
The Clipboard will be filled with the text or the utf8 component of its original contents.

Save as no longer works; it doesn't work in Microsoft either. I've only been using this forever.

I'm not sure how long this has been going on, a couple of months? I was able to get download to work by setting the address to "download". The "save as" doesn't work ... it only has save and until I changed the setting, it didn't save at all. I do a lot of genealogy which entails copying and saving as.
Because it doesn't work in Microsoft, I thought they turned off something in one of their updates, but getting them to admit it .. well. I can't be the only one suffering with this problem.
I am using an Elitebook 8540p with Win 8.1. I have Office 2013.

When trying to save attachments in emails, 'save button' no longer working

Anyone else having this problem? Used to be that when I clicked on the "Save" button in my email windows, an icon would flash in my dock indicating my attachment had been saved to the desktop. Now when I click on the same buttons, nothing happens at all. Any ideas?

I don't recall seeing anything to indicate a Save has taken place, in Leopard at least. Have you looked in the Mail Downloads folder to see if they might actually have been saved? In Leopard and Mail 3.x, a quick click on the Save button would be expected to simply save all attachments on the message to the Mail Downloads folder. A click and brief hold will bring up a contextual menu with choices allowing you to Save All or select certain files, and will enable targeting other folders.
The Mail Downloads folder, btw, is found at Home/Library/Mail Downloads.

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
Herbie

Same problem here.. Can't figure it out.. anyone?????

Add-on save-as-filename (reverses changes made in 18.0) no longer works in 20.0. can some repair it?

In the FF 18 a change very annoying to me was made (once again, first was GUI in 4.0) to change way in which filenames was made.
GavinSharp from mozilla made fix on this fixed bug (no. 254139, which was no bug at all) in way of add-on named save-as-filename. This add-on in version 0.1, is still showed as active in version 20.0 but does not work.
Also Firefox 3 theme for firefox 4+ 2.0.0 now doesn´t work properly as button for download manager now only displays a blank space.
image can be found here: http://s23.postimg.org/lqpn87xbv/blank_space.png

I would like to add a little further information - in the earlier version I was able to create a text box for user input with:
var LYP = sym.$("LastYrPct"); //fourth layer - "LastYrPct"
LYP.html("Last Year Percent (enter as whole number i.e. 80 for 80%): ");
inputLYP = $('<input />').attr({ 'type': 'text' , 'value': '' , 'id': 'LYP' });
inputLYP.css('font-size', 9);
inputLYP.css('text-align', 'center');
inputLYP.appendTo(LYP);
And then later on the button submit function, read what the user had typed in the box with:
var lastYearP = inputLYP.attr("value");
... reading the "value" attribute I'd set up in the input box definition. That no longer works and I'm assuming that it has something to do with the scope since the read happens in the submit button function, but I don't know. I'm assuming I'm missing something obvious. Thanks for giving me whatever help you can with this.

Save as PDF no longer works in Safari in 10.5.1

Since this has to do with the printing interface I'm guessing this is where the post goes.
I found that saving a webpage as a pdf no longer works from Safari 3.0.4 in OS 10.5.1. The print dialog box won't go away after selecting save as pdf so you have to force quit Safari. It looks like the save dialog goes behind the print dialog and I can't get to it.
Anybody else have this issue? I found that other people were having printing of pdf problems, but I didn't see this one.

Never mind. Seems that Default Folder V 3.0.2 was causing the issue. I killed the Default Folder task and problem is gone. Time to buy an upgrade.

The "Save/Add to iPhoto" link no longer works in Mail

When someone sends me a photo, and I click on the Save radio button and select "Add to iPhoto" from the drop-down menu, it no longer works. I have to save it to the desktop and import it into iPhoto from there. My husband is having the same problem on his MacBook. Can anyone help?

Thanks Chris. You did help me in that I didn't think of saving to desktop and import it iPhoto. But, as I am making a book for my Father for Christmas this is a tedious task. I have also found once in a while it does not work on my desktop either. Must be a Mac thing!

Screen Saver and Display Sleep No Longer Work

My set up:
Mac Pro (stock) w/ 3GB RAM running 10.4.8.
Two ADC displays connected via ADC to DVI adapters
Issue:
Recently I've noticed neither my screen saver nor display sleep work. I can get the machine to sleep manually, but not automatically. My energy settings have the display sleeping after 10 min w/ the computer and HDs never sleeping. Screen Saver is set to go on after 5 min.
My MP used to go into screen saver -> display sleep mode fine. I don't know exactly when the issues started, but probably around 10.4.8. I have not installed any major software recently other than normal Apple updates.
What I've tried:
I've tried resetting the Energy Setting and Screen Saver Prefs and then doing a restart.
If anyone has an idea what is preventing my MP from going into screen saver -> display sleep mode please post. This is driving me nuts.
MacBook Pro 1.83 (7200 HD)/ MacPro 2.66/ mini 1.5Ghz / PBG4 1.25Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Turned out a bad USB device was preventing sleep. Once I removed it the display went to sleep like a baby.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

Hi,
After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
Any help would be appreciated

Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
I found this on My Oracle Support:
<h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
Sun SPARC Sun OS
Symptoms:
When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
Steps to be followed:
1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
2) Locate the following environment variable:
LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
#LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
(This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation

Win-key / PrtScr No Longer Working

I use the Win-key PrtScr-key. It would take a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it into a folder called //C:USERS\DOUGLAS\PICTURES\SCREENSHOTS. This folder is located in C\Pictures. I used this combination forever, but it just
stopped working. Even just hitting PrtScr alone no longer works. BUT hitting the Win-key and PrtScr-key will copy it to the clipboard, but understand the I want to make a *.png file in my Screenshots Folder.
Just to make sure I'm clear: Whenever I hit Win-key PrtScr-key it would make a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots. This feature no longer works and I use
it daily. Can anyone please help?
Please let me know if you require additional info.
Thank you

Just to make sure I'm clear: Whenever I hit Ctrl Alt PrtScr it would make a copy of my desktop image and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots.
That's backwards IME. Win-PrtScn does what you want for me and is what I have always used in W8 to do that. Alt-PrtScn captures the current window to ClipBoard and Ctrl-PrintScrn is the keyboard shortcut which the Snipping Tool uses for
starting its capture. I don't know what Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn would do, probably the same as Alt+PrtScn. PrtScn by itself would capture the entire Display contents to Clipboard, same as ever.
Make sure that you don't have a Shift- key stuck. Use the OSK to check. Then you would be really pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PrtScn and who knows what that would do? <eg>

Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. How do I get iTunes to work again?

Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
