Saving file error

I am editing an old site locally. This is not new development
and I do not wish to do anything more than adjust some text and
create a page or two out of 60 or so pages. When I have edited the
file, and click command save (Mac) DW brings up the Save as
Template dialog box. I have no interest in templates and will not
use them on an old site. In order to save the file I have to choose
File>Save As then replace the file.
I am pissed off that Go LIve is end of line and I haven't
switched to DreamWeaver until now because it seizes control without
my permission of all aspects of web development. Make me happy.
Show me how DW is a better environment for me without forcing me to
start all my work over from scratch.

Dear Alan, Thank you for chiming in.
>Think about it- YOU used dreamweaver template "hooks" in
the file. That template syntax has meaning to the application and
causes things to happen.
>You can't take advantage of one part of a feature without
understanding and using all that it will entail.
Yes, I knew that I was the one who put those hooks in, and I
did it on purpose so I could use Contribute. And when I did it,
GoLive was still being developed, and couldn't put the hooks in. It
worked fine for me for what I wanted and let others in our office
edit the files online.
The fact that the DW thought it knew my intention for putting
that code in the page, and usurped my prerogative to merely save
the file is over-control.
Yes, I knew that I was hacking the code, but in 2003, the
consequences for that are different than they are now. And I can't
believe that you always follow protocol, that you never edit files
outside of DW, that nothing you do excites random dialog boxes over
code you know is fine. Give me a break. Or you've been a DW user so
long, that if you can't do it in DW you just give up.
This over-control is not the only reason I refused to go to
DW years ago. It was also unstable and crashed more frequently than
GoLive. The FTP client sucked, etc. Some of the CSS templates in
the early editions of DW that understood CSS didn't work (the last
time I looked at switching to DW.)
>be aware that if you do change the folder level of the
local site, you will have to adjust the folder level of the remote
site if there is one.
>and- having given dreamweaver incorrect info on what the
root level of the site is, dreamweaver will give wrong paths if you
use the browse to file to create a Site Root relative path.
Again this is intrusive. The application forces protocol
without consulting the user, gives no choice how to set things up
if there are differences between the local and remote site, etc.
I was really trying to avoid having to set up the legacy site
from scratch, or having to completely redo my local file structure.
What a total waste of time.
Look folks, I will get over this transition to DW. For me, my
mistake was an obvious one in retrospect. I thank Murray for his
insight. The differences between GoLive and DW are more
philosophical than practical, the difference between letting the
user decide and letting the program decide how things should be
done.
Thanks again.

CS3 Saving Files Error

It must be a bug:
When I make changes to a FLA, save and close, these changes
are not actually saved. So, when I open the file again the changes
are not there so I have to re-do them. I have figured a way around
this bug, and that is by instead or normal saving (cmd+S) I do Save
As (cmd+shift+S) and save with the same name and overwrite.
I have all the latest software updates. It is quite
frustrating because if I come back to the file and do other changes
and export it makes it seem like I didn't do the previous changes.
I am using a MAC. Has anyone encountered thiss? Is there a
real fix instead of my cheap work-around?
Thank you

I was on the phone with Adobe support concerning this issue
and all I had to do was:
Delete the following file:

Rename this folder:

to

It's all working fine, for now. If the problem re-appears I

km@ms, Welcome to the forums.
You have posted in a topic started by someone else in the pro video discussions.
While someone here may well have an answer for you, it would be far better to ask your question as it's own topic. As a rule, you will receive an answer much sooner.

Photoshop CS6 – Error When Saving Files

When saving files using Photoshop CS6 I randomly receive an error message that states 'Could not save image_name.tif' because of a program error'. Sometimes a save-as works but not guaranteed. The file is being saved to a mounted server volume and sometimes the only way to get the file on the server is to save to the desktop and then copy the file back to the server. The error message does not appear on any other Adobe applications, just Photoshop.

Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Photoshop forum. They will be able to help you here.

The iTunes Library file cannot be saved unknown error occurred (-54)

Anyone seen this before and can it be fixed
The iTunes Library file cannot be saved unknown error occurred (-54)

adamwineguy wrote:
I was having this issue as well, after doing two things: updating iTunes yesterday, and installing and running ClamXav, a Mac antivirus tool.
I have now fixed the issue, first I made sure that I had the proper permissions for iTunes and it's library folders. Then I completely removed ClamXav and all its related files and restarted iTunes. Now I no longer get this error when adding new media to iTunes or updating apps, and the library file saves fine. For some reason I think it was related to the antivirus software.
I think it was a coincidence as ClamXav only modifies permissions on the files it installs and none of those are anywhere near your iTunes folders, but I'm glad you got it working.

Word 2007: Error when saving file that contains equations

Using Microsoft Word 2007, version 12.0.6425.1000 with Service Pack 2
I am a High School Math teacher, and when working on a document that contains a number of math equations. When I try to save the document, Word refuses to save. It displays the following error: "A file error has occurred. <filename>. OK",
and I am unable to save the file.
Reading the forum, I have found this to be a very common issue going back to 2009, but I have not seen a definitive solution or patch.
I have found a workaround:
Creat a new document
Copy and paste from the corrupted doc each page, saving the new document after each page
Until I hit the error, then I know the page that has the issue, and can usually narrow it down to a specific math equation. Nothing fancy just some basic math.
Manually rewrite the equation in the new document and it will successfully save.
But the issue has been occurring more and more frequently now and it is becoming very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There has been a long time known issue with the equation editor. it causes document corruption by "losing" XML tags.
Apparently fixes for some causes of these problems have been rolled out in Windows updates. But the problem still exists. You've got it easy. A lot of people running into this problem are students working on documents, like a thesis, that is on a short
deadline ...
One identified cause of these problems is editing equations
after you created them. DON'T DO THAT!
If you have to change an existing equation, create a new correct one and delete the old one.
Simpler fix. Don't use Word (or Office) for creating equations. Find some other product, like a pencil.
Over in the "Answers" forum there are a couple volunteers, Tony Jollans and Jeeped
, who have been manually fixing this type of error if you post a new question or add a reply to one of the ongoing discussions on this issue.
Sorry.
If you want to invest the time to figure out what your error looks like you may be able to come up with a fix other than copy /paste method.
Can't open Word File because of end tag/start tag mismatch error... XML Tag
- XML Error – Fix It tool - “The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag”
This error is caused when Word either “forgets” to write an XML tag, or writes them in the wrong order.
Tony Jolans was the first person that I heard of with home made tool to fix the problem. Now MS has released a Fix It for one specific variation of the problem.
If the tools don’t fix your problem, the file will have to be fixed manually, repairing the tag order.
The Fix It article notes that the document is still in a fragile state. You have to do some addition fixing to avoid repeats of the problem.

This fix it will work for one specific tag error where there are equations and graphics in the same paragraph AND Office 2010 SP1 has not been applied.
Preventative suggestions
<snip Jeeped>
I don't think that anyone can completely stop editing equations, but pre-planning them should avoid unnecessary edits.
While I have no concrete, reproducible evidence that editing equations is a cause, I have made these empirical observations:
I cannot state precisely what many of the DOCX XML tags do, but basic XML syntax rules would suggest that code like:   <m:oMath><m:e><m:ctrlPr/></m:e></m:oMath>
... does nothing at all since it closes everything it opens and offers no content. It looks to me that this is a result of deleting one or more characters from an equation.
While Word 2010 reports these as a problem at: Line: 2 Column: 0 ... Word 2007 will still report the actual position, e.g.:
Line: 2 Column: 2726981 I keep a copy of Word 2007 side-by-side Word 2010 for no other purpose. It's the only Office 2007 program on my computer. This seems like it is actually a step backwards from a resolution since Word 2010 no longer seems
to be able to parse its own error.
Whether the syntax is truly useless and non-effective for any intent or purpose is actually beside the point. The syntax passes conformity tests and the DOCX
should launch. Why an 85 page document is 'broken' due to a few empty XML formatting tags while retaining legal syntax structure is beyond me.
I try to pass along the area that the problem was in and several times people have remarked that the area I report was the place they were last making modifications/deletions to equations (not additions) when the no-load corruption
occurred.
When no indication from the OP is offered on what was worked on last, the Line: 2 Column: 0 corruption often comes within a formula at the very end of the unfinished Word/Document.xml file and it may be inferred
that this was the last place being worked upon.
The corrupt DOCX files I've worked on are very commonly at the last stages of development with a large complex document. While there couldn't be a worse time for a corruption to appear, it would seem that small edits to existing content are causing
it and not large scale new content generation.
Not one of these points is a definitive 'smoking gun', but put together they seem to indicate
formula editing and not formula writing as a cause for the Line: 2 Column: 0 corruption. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is most often a duck.

Copy “True Autosave Macros for Office” to this place in reply
Let me fix it myself
If you are familiar with editing XML, you can try to fix the problem yourself by correcting the sequence of the mismatched oMath tags in the document. See the following example:
Incorrect tags:
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
<m:oMath>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Correct tags:
<m:oMath>
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Note: You will have to use an application such as Notepad to edit the XML.
Manual Technique
<snip> A DOCX document is actually a .ZIP file that contains many internal components. There is an internal folder called word which will always contain a document.xml file. This file is the basis of the document's layout
and content.
Assuming that the DOCX archive structure has not been corrupted, it can be opened in an archive utility. I use
WinRAR for this. Once opened in
WinRAR, you can drill down into the
word folder and see the document.xml file. I use
Notepad++ as a text editing tool and have the .xml file extension associated with this program so i can simply double-click
document.xml in WinRAR to open an editing session.
Notepad++ has cursor positioning in the right-hand side of the status bar and finding the position of the error (supplied by a failed open in Word) is pretty straightforward. I look for empty formatting
tags first and only remove content if removing empty tags does not allow the document to be opened. I try to note existing content in the area that I make modifications in order that I can supply position reference information to the owner of the DOCX.
When editing, I assume the philosophy that kess is more. My target is to get the document to open in Word with as little modification as possible and let the original owner of the DOCX make any necessary adjustments.
I should mention that after making a change to word/document.xml you need to save it in
Notepad++ then go to
WinRAR and acknowledge that you want to update the file in the DOCX archive. Once the archive is updated, you can attempt to open the DOCX in Word to see if your efforts are successful.
WinRAR
Notepad++

Further Fixes
The Fix it solution in this article should let you recover your Word document. However, the symptoms will reappear when you make any further edits to the document unless the core problem in the structure of the document is resolved.
To try to correct the core problem, follow one of these workarounds:
Install Office 2010 Service Pack 1
Office 2010 Service Pack 1 resolves this issue for new files. It will also prevent the problem from recurring with any files that were recovered with the Fix it solution in this article.
To download Office 2010 Service Pack 1, follow the steps provided in this Microsoft knowledge base article:
2460049 - Description of Office 2010 SP1
Grouping Objects
The steps provided work best under Word 2010:
After you open the recovered document, turn on the Selection pane. This can be found in the
Home tab of the ribbon. The editing group of the
Home tab has a dropdown button named Select.
Click the Select button, and then click
Selection Pane...
Press the Ctrl button on your keyboard and then click each text box in the selection pane.
Click the Group button under the Format tab. This will group all the objects together.
As soon as you have all objects grouped on each page, save the document under a new name.
Save the document in the .RTF file format
The steps provided work for both Word 2007 and Word 2010:
After you open the recovered document, click File and select
Save (for Word 2007 click the Office button and select
Save As)
In the Save As dialog box, click "Save as type:" dropdown and select
Rich Text format (*.rtf).
Click Save.

Paste another copy of the XML into the “Syntax Check Your XML” input window
Click on “validate” button
Copy the missing tag, ie </mc:Fallback> (yours will be different)
Return to word Find: mc:Fallback> (without the </ so you find both open and closing tags).
Repeat find until you hit 2 open tags in a row. Then you just have to figure out where to put the closing tag between them.
Look for other tags before and after a proper closing tag so you can match the problem area to a good area.

Document Recovery
http://www.wordarticles.com/Shorts/Corruption/Formats.php
This page has the most readable description of Word file structures, DOC and DOCX, I have seen so far
The logical structure of a Word 97‑2003 format document is one of a series of elements arranged in a hierarchy, much like a mini file system. As an example, here is the structure of a simple Word 97‑2003 (.doc) format document:
MyDocument.doc
1Table
*CompObj
Word Document
*SummaryInformation
*DocumentSummaryInformation
The physical structure of the complete file bears little relation to the logical structure; it is, again, of a proprietary design, a compound, or structured storage, file. Briefly, and loosely, the separate logical elements of the file are broken up into
blocks; these blocks are treated as individual units, which units are then organised without regard for their logical arrangement, and catalogued, catalogue and organisation detail being held alongside the blocks themselves, to enable recombination into logical
components when necessary.
Just to give you a flavour, here are some views of three small parts of such a document, viewed in a hex editor:
Views of a Word 97-2003 format Document
The logical structure of a Word 2007 format document is one of a series of elements arranged in a hierarchy, much like a mini file system. As an example, here is the structure of a simple Word 2007 (.docx) format:
MyDocument.docx
_rels
rels
docProps
app.xml
core.xml
word
_rels
document.xml.rels
theme
theme1.xml
document.xml
settings.xml
fontTable.xml
webSettings.xml
styles.xml
[Content_Types].xml
As briefly as before, the [Content_Types] file and the _rels folders, along with the subordinate files therein, contain information about the logical structure, and the two files in the docProps folder contain much the same as the two Information files
in the old format. The document.xml element within the word folder holds the bulk of the document content and the other files within that same folder hold formatting details.
So, you might say, the internal structure of a document has changed a little, so what? There are, however, other changes that make a bigger difference. The first is that, although both logical formats are conceptually similar, they are wrapped up in
completely different ways to make a single file. Instead of the proprietary physical structure used for Word 97‑2003 format documents, a fairly standard, and open, Zip Archive format is used for Word 2007 format documents. The second change is that instead
of using obscure binary codes, everything in Word 2007 format documents, well almost everything, is held in XML format.
All data held as XML? In a standard Zip Package? It should be much easier to work with, then? Judge for yourself; here are some views of parts of a Word 2007 format document taken from a hex editor:

The most likely cause of your particular problem is that you are missing a

schema references are required for various types of specialty content. Here is a sample opening <document ...> tag with a large number of various schema prefix codes. If I remove one or two of these, i can reproduce

It's impossible to blindly say exactly what you are missing but if you post an unadulterated copy of your document to a public file area (as noted above) and post the location back here, someone may be able to help. If you are going to go this route, send
a copy that has not already been subjected to repair attempts.
FWIW, while it may be hard to determine exactly which schema you may be missing, I do not believe that having extras causes any problems.
BTW, you don't actually have to rename the DOCX file extension if you have an archiving program. I use WinRAR and simply

Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

Simple test
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel untitled

    version : 1;
>
    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;

        dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
"dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

Thank you for the error report. I'll put it into our bug database. We're bottling things up for the current version. Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon. Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is? If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.

"Unable to open project file" Error Message

I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
- only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
- was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

File Error: Unknown File, Cannot Save

I hope this is only a matter of healthy file management, but I'm quite confused and hope someone can clear this up into something of a simple science. On the otherhand, could this be a LIMITATION of FCP?
-Have been editing a sequence from a larger film on a second computer. That sequence has been worked on over several days and saved (of course). However, upon saving last night, was an error message: "File error: Unknown File" and the project could not be saved.
-This is quite possibly due to the fact that both the media and project files have been copied over the network to the first computer where the master project is being assembled.
-HOWEVER, no media files claimed to be offline, everything was editable AND the FILE WOULD NOT SAVE through multiple attempts
-ALSO, the other open project WOULD NOT SAVE either (its files where never moved or otherwise tampered with. It was a small and entirely local operation).
-SAVING was finally accomplished ONLY by saving the project file to the LOCAL HD rather than the EXTERNAL DRIVE where the MEDIA and PROJECT FILES originated and had been previously saved to.
-All other attempts to save to the EXTERNAL were met with the message "FILE ERROR: UNKNOWN FILE" This compromised saving process resulted in the loss of all work, edits, etc. on the LESSER and EXCLUSIVELY local project.
-AFTER saving to the LOCAL HD, the project COULD BE once again saved to the EXTERNAL HD. This flow seemed very strange to me.
-Has anyone else encountered this problem, and what can I correct in my processes to avoid this.
--*Also, the First computer encountered the same problems at the same time, after both EDITING & SAVING had taken place since the last FILE COPYING. Again, work was lost.

Saving file to network location

Hello all of you,
I encounter an issue with InDesign CS5 when it comes to opening and saving files to a network location. I added my company's ftp server to Windows 7 and it appears correctly in the My computer overview (there's an additional line besides the hard discs, DVD player, et cetera). The connection to the server functions fine, no issues here. No problem exists when opening files from this server from within InDesign; I can do whatever I want. Only when I try to save a file the network location isn't displayed anymore within the My computer overview in the InDesign "Save as" dialog box. The network location however appears in the pull-down menu at the top of the dialog box (and nested as part of My computer ...), but when I pick it there, it won't show the context of the server. Additionally logging onto the server (it's IP-based and anonymous logon) doesn't change a thing. Trying to save in the empty server space InDesign returns a "Can't save here" error message.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Best regards,

Scott is basically right. Lots of ID users work over network connections without issue, but if something is going wrong, it's the first place to look. I wouldn't have thought it possible to work in InDesign over a FTP connection!
If you can get Windows to access that server as if it were just another drive (using "Map network drive" in Explorer) then it should work normally. However, a generic Adobe phone tech wouldn't help you figure out why it wouldn't work - there are simply too many variables in a network environment for a generic first-level tech to figure out.
In the short term, the only solution I can suggest is:
Retrieve all of that external content that is linked in the document, and the InDesign document, at the same time, & store it on your local hard drive.
Do your work.
Save & package.
Upload the entire package back to the server.
Long-term, you'd need to talk to your own IT staff to troubleshoot the connection between your workstation and the FTP server. If you can get information about your network from them to post here, I bet that someone will make suggestions to pass on to your IT staff that will actually work.

PDF created in CS6 now produces a "Cannot Open File" error when I try to reopen it :(

I created a file in Illustrator CS6 (v. 16.0.0), and saved it as an (editable) PDF. When I try to reopen that same PDF inside Illustrator CS6, however, I get a "Could Not Open The File" error.
The file opens in Acrobat just fine, but I need to continue editing/working on it. Opening it in 5.1 works but it's all flat and not ideal for editing. Renaming the extension to .eps or .ai didn't work, either. I also looked into potential font conflicts (none) and restarted my Mac (OS 10.7.5) to no avail.
Thoughts/suggestions most welcome!

Illustrator is not designed to be a pdf editor, so save a .ai file backup always.
A restart, as you did, of Illustrator or your mac will allow you to open the .pdf, or resetting your font cache with fontnuke.
Update to 16.04, and especially check if acrobat needs updating.
I have had and so have others problems with making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen, usually you get an error could not save .pdf but check you have a printer chosen in system preferences >> Print & Scan .

Receiving an export file error: wrong type

I have created a movie several times in FCP and then exported the movie to QT without any problems. Now all of a sudden, I can't get the movie to export correctly. After the 2 hour export, I'll check on FCP to find that the program has shut down without an "Unexpected Shut Down" message. I check for the exported movie which I find in the saved folder. I click to open and verify the completed job, but find that I get an error instead : "Error: Wrong Type".
The last successful movie I created was September 14th, prior to the QT 7.5.5 upgrade. I thought it was the upgrade, as I found out that FCP does not do well with the new QT version, so I reverted to QT 7.5, but I am still experiencing the same problem with FCP quitting and the movie not being able to read.
What is going on? Can anyone help?

This is a crazy solution, but this happened to me last week and this solution enabled me to open my files again -- they were all greyed out and I thought I'd lost them. I took my drive in to an Apple Store Genius Bar without resolution and spend 2 hours online with ProApps (FCE/FCP) tech support, also with no resolution.
This fix is based on the fact that FCP when it is started, it automatically opens the project that was open when it was closed. First, in FCP save the current project (this can be any project -- I created a placeholder project -- to a dummy name -- I used "save me". Close FCP and delete the dummy name ("save me") project. Now rename the project that is greyed out and provides the File Error: Wrong Type message that you would like to open to the dummy name, so that it's now called "save me". Now open FCP again. Now save the recuperated file using the original name.
