Saving INDB in CS6 always asks to confirm overwrite

Regardless of whether the INDB has been converted from CS5.5 (our previous version from which we have many files) or whether it is brand spanking new, whenever I want to save my INDB (book), InDesign brings up the dialog box that asks me to confirm where I want to save it (generally overwriting the existing INDB file). In other words, it works precisely like "Save Book As…" — but I am trying to use plain old Save Book.
I just want to hit 'Save Book,' let the wheel spin for a second, and get on with life! Why does this have to be so impressively inelegant? Is there a preference setting or a feature I need to check or uncheck?

You will not see a (converted) title in an INDB. The file doesn't open and display in the way that INDD files do; they appear in a panel.
As noted in the original post, it doesn't matter if the INDB was created in 5.5 and updated, or if it is a new creation since CS6. However, I can now report that it does matter if the INDB was created in CS6 circa May 2 or in CS6 fully updated as of now, so that's something! This shouldn't (it seems) plague INDBs I create from here on out.
That said, I have hundreds of INDBs that were originally made previous to the most recent updates, both in CS5.5 and CS6. Resaving these doesn't seem to successfully "convert" them. The problem remains.
I guess I have to hope that the next patch makes some more progress on the issue.

My firefox doesn't memorize the option of always saving in desktop. it always asks me where i want to save even if i chose the option to always save in the desktop.

in the firefox settings i chose the option of saving downloads in desktop instead of always asking me where to save. but, no matter what i do, i always get the save window when i want to download something, the default is always "open with" instead of "save file" and it doesn't allow me to chose the option to repeat the save for the same kind of file from now on. so, every time i download something i have to click in "save file" and "ok", but in the settings i have "save files in desktop", so i don't get it! why can't it be memorized?

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

IPhone 5s voice dial always asks to confirm

I am able to voice dial most everyone in my conacts database without problems - except my wife. I say 'Call Jane Smith, mobile" and the display correctly interprets my voice and displays 'Call Jane Smith". Then it asks "Do you mean Jane Smith?" Once I say yes, it dials properly. There are no other Jane Smith's or similar in my contacts, and this extra confirmation step does not happen with other numbers. Any idea what could be causing this, or how I might fix it? Thanks for any help!

Try syncing it back up and make sure the memos are included in the sync.

I'm using lion 10.7.1 and ever since upgrading my preferances are not saved after I shut off the computer. My screen saver is always photos even after changing it, itune always asks if I want to upgrade, even after telling it never to.

When I turn off the computer my preferances are forgot. My screen saver aways goes to photos. Ittune always ask if I want to upgrade even after telling it not to . firefox always goes the upgrade page a progam I have to save my clipboard resets itself.

This does appear to be an issue with synergy, but I've also noticed on my C2D Macbook Pro that the screen does not wake from sleep when I simply touch or move around on the touchpad. Now, I have to hit a button (like return) to get the monitor to wake up. Submitting a button strike through synergy does not work, though. Neither does a mouse click on either the trackpad or through synergy.
It also appears that synergy is functioning even though the monitor is off. My mouse does move to the screen and progress across it (I have a three monitor setup with the Mac in the middle, so I can move it off my left system to my Mac, keep moving, and eventually it will show up on the third screen). If synergy weren't working, I would expect it to go from screen 1 to screen 3.
So I think there's something up with how Lion detects that the monitor should be reenabled, and synergy is even more affected by that decision.

"Always ask me where to save files" does not work.

Summary: The "Always ask me where to save files" feature does not work. No dialog box comes up, apparently because the browser is stuck on a bad old read-only lastDir location, in a prefs.js file that I can't edit.
Details:
I am using Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has a both a read/write Mac partition that I use most of the time, and a bootcamp Windows partition drive ("C"), which I can read but not write to.
At some point I accidentally tried to download a file from a site, using Firefox, to the read-only Windows C drive. Ever since that time, I have not been able to download any files from Firefox, except to the firefox/downloads folder. This is inconvenient. If, in preferences, I try to set downloads to ""Always ask me where to save files", the dialog box does not come up when I actually try to save files. This problem does not apply to saving photos by right-clicking them.
If I open, in text-edit, mozilla/firefox/profiles/t4vockvue.default/prefs.js, which was saved yesterday, I can see a problematic line. It reads:
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc]");
C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc] being the read-only windows directory.
This prefs.js is apparently not an editable file.
I tried to fix this by opening a browser tab in Firefox and opening about:config. The editable browser.download.lastDir does NOT show the same "lastDir"....it shows some directory that I successfully downloaded photos to, by right-clicking on a photo.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.

To confirm which profile folder is active when you are running Firefox, it is easiest to open it from inside Firefox as follows:
Sometimes the file that stores the customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (Windows: "Show Folder" button).
Hopefully you are using a separate profile folder on each OS.

Before when I scanned a photo, it would automatically save and ask to scan another photo. Now, the photo is not saving and it doesn't ask to scan again. Help?

I only use Image Capture and it always sends my photos to wherever I tell it to.

Finder always asks for password in Documents

When I try to make a new document, to save something or to edit something in my \Documents folder, Finder always asks for a password.
Saving in another program to the Documents folder isn't possible because the program can't write to the folder and just says ACCESS DENIED (Final Cut Express).
I checked the permissions of the Documents folder and it says User (me) Read and write and everyone (No access). What should I do to make my Documents folder somewhat more accessable?

mve87 wrote:
Odd, but it worked. Thanks! The folder now behaves as it used to.
But nothing changed in the Permissions, which I think is odd.
Shouldn't Apple make a easier way to do this?
ah, yes, that's a good point, oft discussed on this forum. the problem is that there are a lot of ACLs like those "everyone deny delete" ones that were preventing you from modifying items in Documents that are completely invisible from GUI. as a result you look at the permissions panel and think that everything is normal when in fact there may be a number of ACLs present. this is a terrible design decision by Apple. one can only hope it will be addressed in future versions of OS X.

Why doesn't my iMAC (Safari) always ask to save my password for a website?

Many of my old websites have a saved password on the Safari preferences. But lately no new sites have asked me "if i want to save the password to this site".
My settings in Safari have not changed.. Any ideas what causes this and how to change set up to always ask to save my password?
Thank you,
VA

The OP doesn't say they are having problems with their old websites.
Many sites delibertly code their login web pages so passwords won't be saved. I don't know how to determine this.
Now, if you are having a problem with an old website that previously worked. It may not because the keychain is outdated.
This is a real pain. Especially when I deleted a bunch of keychains, yet when I go back to safari and type username and asswords, I don't get a prompt to save them. At least at login.yahoo.com
What is the chance of safari getting changed to remember all entered data regardless of how the login webpage is encoded? I have heard third party applications do this. It shouldn't be website determined. Shared computers - no saving, most other cases, up to user.
Now instead of my passwords safe in the keychain, I have to save them somewhere else. A lot more inconvient and insecure.

Aperture always ask for license key after migration to a new mac

Hello,
I used the migration tools to transfer data and applications from my old mac to the new one.
When I lauch Aperture it always ask me to write the license key. I do it and can start to use Aperture.
The problem is that this settings is not saved and I have to put again the serial key everytime I launch Aperture.
I use the last version of Aperture 3.
Thanks in advance.

You may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

Write down your security questions.......
Here is what you should do if you do not remember the answers to your Apple ID security questions:
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Cheers,
Alec

I've set m4v files to "always ask" but it opens in the browser player anyway

Since one of the latest version, Firefox now has a built-in player for certain flash based videos, like m4v. Now, when I try to download such videos (by copy-pasting the direct url to the file into the url bar) it will just open that video in the player. I've tried changing it from always-ask to save file, but even that won't work.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

hello, firefox 21 and above now make use of the codecs that are included in your OS that enable it to directly play mp3 & mpeg files (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

On one site... FireFox always asks what application to use to open a pDF even with "Do this automatically..." select. How do I make it always use Adobe Reader for PDF files?

When I click on a PDF file it always presents the "You have chosen to open ..." dialog box. Even though it knows it is a PDF file and should use the Adobe Reader. I've checked the Tools / Options ... Application section which is set correctly as well. I've tried setting it to other aps too. yet it always asks. How do I get around this?

Hi meunchdl,
You might want to take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]]. There is some good information in there that might help you with your issue.

In Ver. XI it always asks if I want to save changes-even tho I made no changes. How can I stop that?

Thank you Pat..that was very kind of you to help. And yes-it does happen with every pdf. But you're right-if I just say yes one time..then I'm not prompted the next time I open that particular pdf-but it does make me confirm I want to write over the same name the file had already in order to save it.
I made all my pdf's with the Chrome save as pdf command..never had a error message in prior Acrobat when closing the file.
All the best Pat

Always Ask has disappeared

Hello all,
I've had my E71 for about a year and it's suddenly giving me problems. I had my email (a google account) set up so that when I connected to my inbox, the phone would Always Ask which access point before connecting. I switched it to my home wireless network while playing around with the settings, but now the Always Ask option isn't available. Before I restore factory settings, any ideo how to get it back?
