Spinning wheel when trying to save

whenever I try to save a certain document (ms word) i get the spinning color wheel.

Does it go away after a while or stay on that and you have to Force Quit ?
Some Office Applications can have problems with corrupt or missing Fonts that can cause a few issues it might be worth running FontDoctor or some other freeware Font checker to see if all the source files are correct and in the right place, possibly remove duplicates as well.
Does the document have clip art files in it or other images or is it just plain text ?

Help! App Store spinning wheel when trying to download OS X Lion

I've spent several hours today trying to download OS X Lion from the App Store. Everytime I click on the 29.99 button, and then the Buy App button the spinning wheel starts at the top of the App Store Window. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it!
My specifics: iMac, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, Available space 162.7 GB, Max OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Lepoard)
I called Apple Support, and they told me to order the USB drive, but I'd like to just download this ASAP.
Thanks a million!

"The solution is not to have to spend more then twice as much to be able to access the same thing you can through the app store." (Opps, don't know how to credit the prior commenter, but thank you!)
They didn't even mention the $69 price! As it is I already had to order the 2012 Quickbooks (over $150!), because Lion didn't support my 2010 Quickbooks - wow, this upgrade is getting more and more expensive! Even though I LOVE my Apple products, I tell people that they don't "nickle and dime you, they 100 dollar bill you to death!"

Spinning wheel when trying to log into Macbook Pro 17" connected to 27" thunderbolt display

I've got a 17" Macbook Pro connected to a brand new 27" Thunderbolt display. When I attempt to log in from user screen I consistently get the spinning wheel of death and have to power down on frequent basis. More a nuisance than anything but with the amount of money invested on the components in front of me this seems slightly silly. I can use this work around pretty easily, but my wife isn't real swift when it comes to these things so I'm looking for a long term fix.

lRlevolution,
if your hard drive has failed, then no amount of resetting the SMC will fix your hard drive — you’ll need to purchase a new hard drive (or SSD), format it in Disk Utility, install it in place of the old one, and install OS X on it. (If you plan on installing it yourself, you’ll need a T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the four screws from your current hard drive and put them in your new drive.) Is there a reason to believe that there might be a motherboard issue involved?

Spinning wheel when trying to play a rented movie

So I have been renting movies on my MacBook from the iTunes store since I bought my first apple TV years ago. I then play them from my Apple TV and never had an issue.
Since the last updates of iTunes and Apple TV OS I can no longer do this. All I get when I select a movie on my iTunes is a spinning wheel! It just sticks there.
What the heck Apple - get a grip - where is your testing !
The only way round it is if I play the movie on my macbook and stream it to my apple tv!

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!

Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save PDF files

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting. Applies for any of the Save options. "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding." Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files. Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved. I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

I get the Save As dialog when trying to Save, whether using Command-S or File menu

When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

I checked and the files are not stationery pads, Permissions show me as having read and write authority.
But, when I opened the files from the finder, the problem disappears and they saved normally. I then removed the files from the Dock and re-placed them in the Dock via drag and drop. The problem re-appears and changes will not save normally. Not being able to use the Dock is inconvenient but at least there is a workaround. Thanks for your help! Before declaring victory, I'd like to watch it for a while for other quirks.

I also tried the alt/ctrl/shift buttons when clicking Editor in the Photoshop welcome screen. It did ask if I wanted to reset the preferences. I chose yes. I still get the same error message when trying to save for web.
Below....showing I don't have a "save for web" folder on my C drive.
And below, showing the same error after pressing alt/shift/ctrl when clicking on editor and clearing the preferences.
I don't have a 'Save for Web' folder anywhere on my C: drive. I searched and came up with no folder with the text "save for web" in it.
I did find a "save for web" folder on my D: drive and deleted that.. but now when I start up Photoshop, the option for Save for Web is grayed out...not able to select it.

Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image"

Windows 7 64 bit and Firefox 28. When trying to 'Save Page' or 'Save Image' the save dialogue window is nearly blank, then info bar shows 'not responding'. I have tried all the tips in the support pages. Resetting Firefox, Starting Firefox in 'Safe Mode'. Upgrading graphics driver to latest version. Turning off 'Hardware Acceleration' in options. Nothing resolves the problem. This issue has only recently started, the last time I tried saving an image it worked fine, certainly prior to Microsoft's most recent 'upgrade Tuesday'.
Edit:
Checked the save dates of the last images I successfully saved from within Firefox and compared them to my windows update log. The Microsoft March 'Update Tuesday' was installed on March 14th. My last successfully saved Firefox images were saved the following day on March 15th. Thus it is unlikely that the Firefox saving issue is a result of a Windows Update corruption. So the question is what changes have Mozilla made to Firefox between 15th and 24th March 2014 ???

I understand that finding a root cause is ideal, and I would be happy to further investigate this with you.
Since it is still happening in Safe Mode [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems please try to troubleshoot the plugins and extensions]
The other route is to troubleshoot the downloads folder and antivirus to make sure the downloading of the image is not having an issue either. [http://mzl.la/LJ0h2w]
In the meantime there is an add on that enables this [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-images/ Save Images]
Please post back with your results, there have been other reports, but no issue filed yet.

OIM: Invalid LookupQuery when trying to save

OIM: 11g (11.1.1.5.2)
When trying to create a form field, of type LookupField, I am entering the following Lookup Query property value:
select UD_ADGRP.UD_ADGRP_OBJECTGUID,UD_ADGRP.UD_ADGRP_DISPLAYNAME,UD_ADGRP.UD_ADGRP_DESC from UD_ADGRP,OIU,OBJ,OST where UD_ADGRP.ORC_KEY=OIU.ORC_KEY and oiu.ost_key=ost.ost_key and ost.obj_key=obj.obj_key and ost.ost_status in ('Provisioned', 'Enabled') and upper(obj.obj_name) = upper('AD Group');
When trying to save, I get
"Invalid Property Value was specified. Insert Failed"
My console log show:
java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00911: invalid character
However, running the above query directly via JDeveloper brings back the proper information.
Any idea what the invalid character might be?
Thank you.

Thank you Kevin, that was it. ( I should have seen that before posting)
However, now when trying to add the 'Lookup Column Name' and 'Column Names' properties, the same error is being thrown.
I am setting:
Lookup Column Name to be: UD_ADGRP_OBJECTGUID
and it is throwing the errors:
<Mar 5, 2012 6:54:00 PM EST> <Error> <XELLERATE.SERVER> <BEA-000000> <Class/Method: tcSDP/isPropertyValid Error :Sdp Property value is invalid .>

at com.thortech.xl.dataaccess.tcDataBase.rollbackTransaction(tcDataBase.java:578)
(The same error happens trying to set 'Column Names' value.
I would like to be able to key on the OBJECTGUID attribute because I want to use it in a process task. I don't want to have to lookup it later. ie: I have a child table trigger that is executing, and the task adapter that I have assigned is needing the GUID as input.
Thank you.

Use Artboards disabled when trying to save as PDF in Illustrator CC

Use Artboards disabled when trying to save as PDF in Illustrator CC

Then there's no reason to "Use Artboards". If you had multiple artboards in the file, then you could choose among them for the output but with a single artboard, only one will be output.

'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...

Firefox hangs when trying to save a file, even after removing firefox and reinstalilng afresh

I recently experienced firefox hanging/freezing indefinitely when trying to save files, such as pdf files. The same pdf files open fine within the browser if I do not select "save link as...", but the problem occurs when I try to save such a file. The problem is similar regardless of the file type (e.g., .mp3, .txt). Not only did I go through the recommended solutions that mozilla suggests when file downloads hang, but I uninstalled firefox completely (removing all files with user settings), and then reinstalled firefox afresh without any plugins or add-ons, and I still have the same file save problem. It may also be worth mentioning that this problem does not occur in internet explorer or chrome. Maybe a system file that firefox uses got corrupted (?), but I don't know which one or how to repair it if that indeed is the problem.
My system is running XP, and I have McAfee AV installed (which has not been a problem in the past).

Early on I tried starting firefox in safe mode as one possible fix, and that didn't solve the problem. I just tried again right now with the fresh installation, and still no luck.
Any other ideas?

Error when trying to save a file

I get this error when trying to save any file (newly created or not) word document in MS word 2010:"You are attempting to save a file type (plain text files) that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center".
I followed the directions given by the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 922850, but I am still having this issue. I can still save files as PDF but not in any kind of word format.
I also tried opening another file copy and pasting under a different name and it doesn't help.
Please Help.
