"save"or "save as"?

Why have I suddenly lost the facility to "save"or "save as"? [email protected] using 56 on a Mac.
Please answer by email...

It would really help if you describe exactly what you're doing, and how the result differs from what you expect.
...it has not solved the problem.
You really haven't explained what the problem is. Here are some questions you leave open:
Have you tried following Peter's advice in post #1?
Can you see the Save.. and Save As.. commands in the menu, and are they active/available (not 'grayed out')?
What happens when you try to save or save as?
Have you tried using the keyboard commands (Cmd+S, Cmd+Shift+S)?
How can you tell whether your work has or has not been saved?
Does it happen with one file, certain files, new files, old files, converted files, all files...?

Save and Save As options are greyed out

I have an install of Adobe X Standard. An external source is sending in PDFs which are marked as Secured. However, according to the creator of these documents, only editing has been locked down, not Save or Save As functionality. When I open the document, all Edit functionality, as well as Save and Save As are greyed out.
This is a new install of Adobe X. These documents could previously be saved using the same version of Adobe, but that machine needed to be re-installed due to OS instability. After re-installing Windows 7, then Adobe X, then updating to 10.1.13, these functions are now missing. I have no idea as to why. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Again, I've verified with the original creating that Save functionality shouldn't be disabled.

There is no security setting that locks out save/save as.
Save is greyed out when a file has not yet been changed, so that is normal. Save AS should not be greyed out at all. Don't know why that should happen.

I have PS 6 and just purchased an iMac and am running OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite). When i try to Save or Save As a file I get the following message: Could not save as "Whatever.psd" because this file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the Get Info command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm using Firefox version 3.6 on my '02 Mac G4. When I installed it, it worked fine, But then all of a sudden the "save" and "save as" windows stopped coming up at all when I selected "save" anywhere in Firefox. What happened and how do I fix it?

I downloaded and installed Firefox on my '02 Mac G4. It worked great. Now I have version 3.6. But my weird problem is one day when I ran it, the "save" and "save as" windows stopped popping up at all. I'd left click a picture and select "save as" and nothing would happen. I'd go to the menu and select "save" and still no window would pop up. It would just act as if nothing had been clicked. No loading icon or anything and no "save as" window. I've never been able to get it to work. The volunteer in the live support chat typed "That IS weird.." I tried his suggestion but it did nothing. I may have deleted the plist preferences file in the preferences library folder to get it started again after a freeze up threw it out of whack but I've never had this happen before.And i've tried doing that again to see if that would restore it. But the plist always regenerates itself and the "save as " window still never appears when I run Firefox. The "save" window works just fine in every other program on my Mac, but not in Firefox. Weird..

SAVE or SAVE AS a DNG in Photoshop CS5?

I have gotten two different responses from Adobe as to wheter the DNG file format should be an option for saving in Photoshop CS5. Looking at some of the help topics it appears that it should be, and I chatted with a rep from Adobe who stated that the option should be there. The Adobe Rep gave me the number to call for tech support. I called tech support (sounded like I was talking to someone in India) to determine why my installation was not giving me that option. Initially tech support stated that it should be an option, then he went off (put me on hold) to see how we could fix the problem. When he came back, he said I should just use the Adobe RAW file extension and that DNG is not a saving option.
Can anyone else confirm whether or not I should be able to use the SAVE or SAVE AS command to save a file in the DNG format?

Save your file as a tiff file, to keep all the data. In photoshop use the file>open as. In the file type drop down box, select camera raw as the type. Select your tiff file and your tiff will load into camera raw. Now at the box left of the camera raw dialog box, select the save as button. In the pop up window you can now select dng for the file type.

Save and Save As do not work

Hi all,
i'm feeling really stupid asking this question, but after an import from Data Dictionary (from an Oracle 9i Database) y can see the tables, relationships, etc, but when trying to Save (or Save As) and setting the right values on the "file/directory browser" dialog box, nothing happens.
I'm using the Mac version (Modeler 3.0.0 build 665). I've tried with the Mac and Oracle look and feel and nothing.
The stranger thing is that at some point this worked and then deleted the imported model because it was taken from the wrong database (not production).
After deleting the imported model, the tool seems to not be able to save anymore? I checked briefly the version control funcionality but it is disabled now (provides SVN, i use GIT).
I'm almost sure i'm doing something wrong (it's unlikely this is a bug of the tool).
Two more things:
1) if i start a new model, i cannot save either.
2) i've re-installed many times (deleted the file from the Applications folder and extrated it again from the tar.gz). Same results.
Thanks in advance!
Jose Luis

Can Save and Save As dialog boxes be modified to show fewer file type options in CS3?

I'm looking to simplify the choices for the Save and Save As commands to the just the formats that I use on a regular basis to make some repetitive file processing tasks go faster. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.

Scripting can save to Folders relative to the File’s location or to absolute Folder-paths, so that may be beneficial in Your case.
Scripting can also amend the name a File is saved as, one could even number copies progressively.
It’s naturally easiest (to create, at least) to make one Script per file-format/target-location/name-change, because otherwise creating a dialog is necessary.
The thing I have to admit here, though, is that it would probably take a little time to grasp the matter (JavaScript specifically) – so if You should be under time-pressure already it may not be very useful in the short run.

Does Ctrl+S/Command-S. work for file>save?, Ctrl+Shift+S/Command-Shift-S for file>save as? NO
Do you have a file selected if you have more than one open? YES
None of the above works. Save or Save As is not listed under file or edit. ???

Indesign Save and Save As Greyed out!!!!!

Why oh why is this still happening - come on Adobe sort this out.
Lost time and Revenue due to InDesign suddenly greying out Save and Save As, which means the only way you can save the document is by exporting as an IDML which then causes more problems with broken links etc. Surely Adobe know about this issue, being as though I have read many forums about this.
The whole Creative Cloud concept is great, but seriously flawed, had issues where I've had notifications of the same updates I have already installed for two weeks after installing them, applications hanging on startup, Creative Cloud app not updating due to errors which quits creative cloud and then you have to start it again in order to start the update process, which invariably does not work, then have to download the latest version from the website.
Too many issues keep cropping up with this suite of software, even though the individual software packages are great when they work!!
This needs investigating and sorting out sharpish!!

Moving this discussion to the InDesign forum.

Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents; program freezes after clicking save

Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents. After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit. Any tips on making Word functional again?

There was a second Security Update (v1.1). Did you download that one. It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update. At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

How to disable "Open, Save and Save As" prompt

I'm using IE 10.
I'd like to disable the prompt "Open, Save or Save as". Each time I tried to any document (ex. DOC or PDF file), IE will popup the follow prompt: "What do you want to do with ..."
I saw there are some similar threads, but they are particular for SharePoint.
Thank you!
Peter

Each time I tried to any document (ex. DOC or PDF file), IE will popup the follow prompt: "What do you want to do with ..."
You might be able to add Open with... to a right-click menu.   But that will probably only help for files which are local, e.g. don't need to be downloaded. I think the reason for the prompt is essentially to help route the download and notify
users of the fact that if they just try to open it they will be opening a temporary file.  E.g. it typically always goes into the TIF first. You could probably confirm and refine these ideas using ProcMon, e.g. looking for tests of registry
values and writes of files.
For example, I just did a BING search for filetype:doc, did a right-click Open (as one of the other thread's responders had suggested) and still see the above prompt, because the file has not been downloaded yet. That's IE's job so that's how
it does it, with a prompt. But then since there is a filetype association for the .doc extension when I choose Open no more intervention is required (although as the prompt notes "The file won't be saved automatically." so if a user tries to update it,
e.g. a Word document or a spreadsheet, anything they do would only be preserved if they did a File Save As... or whatever those applications provide for that use case.)
In fact, that warning is probably the main reason for the prompt when such an explicit Open command is given. It would be interesting to see if IE could take advantage of some information left in the filetype that would indicate that it wouldn't matter
if the file was temporary because it couldn't be reused anyway--for example, if the program associated with the open action could not update the file, examples being Acrobat Reader and WordViewer.   Again, I think the simplest way to find out would
be to trace what happens and make changes to try to exploit the possibilities implied by the trace.
On another tack you could see if there are any hints or tips given by using
FileTypesMan from NirSoft. E.g. it might help you find some particular values to try for EditFlags and BrowserFlags (some obscure registry values which are somewhat obsolete but may still have at least some of their original
effect).

Save versus Save As for PDF Forms

Windows 7 (x64)
Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79
I download a PDF fill-in form. Opening it with Adobe Reader, I see just below the tool bar a banner that says: "Please fill out the following form, You can save data typed into the form."
I partially insert data. When I select Save (NOT Save As), I get the Save As navigation window. If I do not close the fill-in form, and insert more data, the next time I select Save, it saves without the Save As navigation window.
To demonstrate, try the U.S. individual tax return Form 1040, which can be downloaded from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf.
I reported this same problem a few years ago, citing Windows XP and an earlier version of Adobe Reader (version 10.?). Is there a plan and schedule to fix this?

Word 12.0.6695.5000

All of the applications listed above -- just a few of those I have on my PC -- silently save when I request "Save" for an altered EXISTING file. Note that, contrary to comment #6, Word (from Office 2007) is among them.

Indesign CS5 won't Save or Save as..

I have recently installed Mac OSX 10.6.3 (snow_leopard) onto my iMac and now for some reason Indesign CS5 will not save or save as.
It allows me to selecteither of them in the menu but nothing happens at all. If i try to close the document after making changes it just closes without asking if i want to save and i lose all the changes.
I have also gone to the extent of doing a clean installation of the OS & CS5 with no difference whatsoever.
Any ideas would be extremely helpful..
Thanks

go back to Replace Your Preferences to get the paths to the folders in your user library, then try moving the entire folders to the desktop and restart ID.
If it's still not working, John Hawkinson has mentioned some other files that seem to be involved when it works in one user and not another, but you'd have to do a search here as I don't know the names and locations for all of them (I'm on Windows). I think he's suggested these at least twice in the last month or so, so they should come up.

Indesign CS6 "Save" not "Save As"? HELP!

Ok, I'm a graphic designer with a crazy amount of folders spaning 2 external hard drives...Keep that in mind as I ask this question. I just upgraded to CS6 and now everytime I open and exsisiting indesign file, update it, and hit "Save" is defalts to my desktop. This might be a dumb questions but usually "Save" will save it over the orginal file..."Save As" is what I hit when I want a duplicate or new file name....What with that? Maybe its an easy fix but I can't figure out how to "save" is over the old file. Honestly it would take too much time to have to remember which folder it was inside of to replace it. Any Help?

If you are opeing files from your previous version they are considered new files (notice the [Converted] appended to the name in the document title) and the first save will always be a save as to prevent you from accidentally overwriting the original. If you are smart you will give them a new name and keep the old versions intact. Things do go wrong.
In fact, I actually recommend you export your old files from the original versions as either .inx or .idml, depending on the version, and open that instead of the .indd in CS6. You're less likely to have a nasty surprise later.

Save or save as diplay in menu or ribbon

Hello, why isn't there an icon to save or Save in the ribbon? Why is it necessary for me to shift, ctrl + x to get there or use the full menu click choices. The Save As or Save icon in the ribbon should be enabled.

I do not currently have Reader X or XI installed, but I am quite sure there was a Save icon in the Toolbar. I can check on Monday.
