Saved files have no extension

I have two copies of Photoshop CS6, one is installed on mac os 10.9.5 and the other is installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. On both of them I save files and they save without a file extension. The issue first presented when attempting to save .jpg and is also happening with .psd files. So far all research into the issue has turned up nothing. I have already performed all updates on the application itself.

Do you have any period characters in the filename?  Photoshop may think you've already given it an extension.
What happens if when you're doing File - Save As, you put the extension it should have on the end of the filename? 
I don't know about Mac but do you have Windows configured to show you filename extensions?  You should; that reduces confusion:

  • SMB and EPS Files (all files have .eps extensions)

    HI All,
    We've turned off Appleshare on our Microsoft SBS Server and have all our mac clients connecting via SMB - previews of folders within apps is now much much faster and we can now have longer file names.
    However, all of our eps images are screwed. They all have file extensions but Illustrator cannot import them or re-link them. If we open them in Photoshop and re-save them, then Illustrator can link to them.
    But we have thousands of eps images and using a batch process action is painful as Photoshop can't determine the difference between a vector eps and a photoshop eps before it opens them (as far as we can tell) - so we have to manually choose which eps files to open.
    It would be easier and safer if we could just fix whatever is wrong with the server - does anyone have any suggestions?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    "It would be easier and safer if we could just fix whatever is wrong with the server - does anyone have any suggestions?"
    Um, turn Appleshare back on.
    No, seriously, though, it's this Microsoft "Services For Macintosh" (aka Appleshare) feature that allows your Macs to connect to the server and "see" the files on it properly. Let's take an .eps file as an example. On the Mac, the single file contains a resource fork-based preview icon, the data fork holding the EPS data, a file type of 'EPSF' (EPS file), and a creator code of 'ART5' (Adobe Illustrator). Ordinarily, a PC-formatted disk only has room for, and understands, the data fork information and the filename; the rest would be lost if it wasn't dealt with in some way. The way Microsoft's "Services For Macintosh" deals with it then, is that, when a Mac writes a file to the server over the network, what would be a single Mac file, is split up into 4 separate NTFS "streams". One stream is the main one, which contains the data fork information and filename. The other three hold the small amount of special "Mac" information.
    Now, if you have the server up and running as SMB, and the Mac connects to the server as SMB, you will only see one of the parts/streams of the original file. The special Mac information that's saved in the other 3 streams isn't combined with the primary stream to make the file "appear" properly, like it does when you have Microsoft "Services For Macintosh" running and connect the Macs to the server over AFP.
    I can gather that performance with the Microsoft "Services For Macintosh" is relatively poor compared to that of SMB. If you'd like to switch over to SMB, you can carefully follow the following procedure to make the switch over.
    Let's say your sever has 40 GB of files on it. At the moment, if you connect your Mac to the server over SMB, the files appear improperly. So, instead, find a Mac with a lot of free space on the local hard drive, and connect to the server over AFP (and have the server running AppleShare/Services For Macintosh), so that the files "appear" properly. From the Mac, copy all of the 40 GB worth of files over to the Mac's local hard drive. Then disconnect the Mac from the server. Adjust the server so that it is no longer running AppleShare/Services For Macintosh, and from the same Mac, connect to the server over SMB. Again, if you look at the original files on the server, they will appear improper; this is normal. From the Mac, create a new folder on the server, separate from the original folder holding the original 40 GB worth of files. Name it something like "Server Files (SMB)". Then, from the Mac, copy the 40 GB worth of files that you saved to the local hard drive into that "Server Files (SMB)" folder on the server. After you've finished copying them and you look at them from this Mac, you'll notice that these files should appear "correctly".
    Now, if you continue to have the AppleShare/Services For Macintosh shut off, and you connect other Macs to the server (via SMB), they should be able to see the files in the "Server Files (SMB)" folder correctly. Basically, you would no longer use the original 40 GB of files, and instead, use the ones inside the "Server Files (SMB)" folder, which will appear properly to the connected Macs.
    Hope this helps....

  • My saved files have stripes when I reopen

    Hi, I use Photoshop CS5 extended version 12.0 64bit. I don't know why but some of my files I created have stripes on them when I reopen to work on them. It looks like some layers get corrupt and have horizontal stripes along the width of the image. Please help cause I'm on a deadline. Thanks.

    First, go download and install all the updates for Photoshop.  You should be on 12.0.4.

  • I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

    OS: WinXP sp3
    FF: 3.6.3
    I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Photoshop CS6 stopped saving file extensions

    I am running PhotoShop CS6 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.2.  Photoshop suddenly stopped saving file extensions.  I can open the files saved on my computer, but others cannot because the file extension is missing.  Under preferences > file handling > append file extension, "always" is selected.  It doesn't matter which file format PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc., the file extension is not saved.  I have the capability to view the file, but if I send it to someone else, or if I save it to dropbox and download it back to my computer, the image cannot be viewed.

    Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • Import does not recognize old image files that have no extension

    Just discovered that the import facility does not see (or accept) old Mac image files that have no extension -- even if these files have a Mac "kind" that is an image such as "Adobe Photoshop file".
    You can manually add an extension to the file (and respond to an "are you sure?" dialog). Then the file will be seen and accepted.
    This is extremely dangerous (and painful to manually correct) since you think you are seeing all images in the import box, but you are not.
    In fact, I deleted huge image directories after having satisfactorally (I thought) imported them into Aperture many months ago. Most of the old extension-less files had been updated and did have extensions in later versions. However, I missed one important image and looked everywhere for it.
    By a miracle I had a backup of my image directories on a Power Book that I am retiring and finally noticed that the missing image was there just before deleting that directory too! I then figured out why this image (and many others) had not been imported. So, now I am going through manually and adding extensions.
    Does anyone know a better way -- to get Aperture to recognize extension-less images? If not, this needs to fixed in the next version as it is a disaster waiting to happen.

    Well there's an idea...probably would need to go into Bridge <g> to do that most efficiently .. or Automator.
    It turns out that I already had added extension to most (but not all) images in my main image directory and so they got into Aperture alright. I just have to go through all the images in the backup I just found (where many did not get extensions) to find the ones that Aperture missed. So far, there have been just a couple more...
    The real problem is that Aperture should not be missing these, even if they are archaic. At the very least, Aperture's import should give a warning that there are files in a folder that it is not going to import AND is not even showing. Otherwise this is a serious gotcha!
