STILL cannot save an alias

I have been trying every day for months now and I'm still unable to create an alias, every time I try I get the response of THIS ALIAS CANNOT BE SAVED AT THIS TIME.  I have tried a variety of different name options incase it was that the name had already been taken, but all to no avail.  Please can anyone help, it seems that there have been posts about this but nothing that resolves or explains the situation, and I can't find anything current - am I the only person having this problem????????

Still having the same problem, I try every single day and so far nothing.  I've tried every variation that I can possibly think of with any combination of numbers and letters etc. but still get the same error message. I log in with my icloud email address, and it seems that the only domain you can use is the icloud domain. 
I really could use some help, but there seems to be nothing around.  We can't be the only two people experiencing this problem????

  • Ive followed all the hints on your website i still cannot save any new bookmarks

    ive followed all the hints on your website i still cannot save any new bookmarks, i have a new mac book pro, worked fine no doesnt save bookmarks, verrrrrry annoying!

    Hi eddpie,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I personally would suggest the option to save your iTunes library to an external drive -- because it creates an important backup, and copies the library to your new computer.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527?viewlocale=en_US
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    I hope this information helps ....

    Howlb
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
    What are the properties of these source media video clips?
    How are you trying to save the edited video clips
    a. Publish+Share/ and one of the choices there and then an export of the whole Timeline content
    or
    b. Trying to save the edited video clips in a project selectively as separate files saved to the computer hard drive. If so, please detail.

  • Lost bookmarks, force quit and re-boot with no change. still cannot save new bookmarks. is there a solution?

    help

    Hello Badgeptfc
    I would try first to reset all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data by doing this and test it out. If you still cannot save a bookmark, then you will need to restore your iPad and not restore from back up. The instructions for restoring are outlined in the article below.

  • Still cannot save attachments

    Hi
    For what must be a month now I cannot download email attachments, web browsers either cannot save the file or produce a blank unknown file type.
    I have had to stop using iCloud, all the other emails services which you access via a web browser work no problem at all like gmail and outlook its just iCloud will not, have apple stopped supporting microsoft office attachments ?

    Rodeo,
    Is this the same post as this one (I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet.  Why?)?

  • Reader still cannot save fillable forms

    I'm using LiveCycle Designer to create a fillable form that I wish to have sent back to me as a pdf or for the user to save the completed form locally. I have "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" under the advanced tab. However, when I send the fillable form to my users with reader, sometimes they cannot even fill in the form because it says that the form has been altered since the rights were enabled(which it hasn't) and at other times, they can fill out the form and save it, but the saved file is just a blank form(They're not choosing Save a Copy). I do not wish to use LifeCycle ES Reader Extension because this is a small venture and I don't technically have a server I can access. Can someone give me some clue as to what I might still be doing wrong?

    Sorry.. I thought I replied to this message earlier. Apparently not. In any event, Adobe Reader 9 is being used. There is no script that changes the appearance of the form as far as I'm aware. I downloaded a form from the form gallery.. and enabled the usage rights and then emailed it to myself. When I opened it on my laptop, it told me that the document had been altered since it had been saved(which it hadn't) and wouldn't let me fill in the form or save it.

  • Firefox is only saving 8 light-weight themes. Supposedly this was fixed in February, but I still cannot save more than eight. Is there a new fix or workaround?

    Tonight we found a site called getpersonas.com. We found several we liked and started saving, then later realized Firefox 3.6.3 is only saving the last 8. I checked the forum and saw a bug report related to this, but it was also reported as fixed, but I still have the problem and I see no workaround posted.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I started saving personas that were saved as themes.

    You can install the Personas Plus extension and register on the www.getpersonas.com website if you need more features

  • I can not save an alias at this time?

    Ever since this past Semptember, when I got the new iPhone and Apple was doing the major switch over to iCloud, when I tried adding a new alias, it says I cannot save an alias at this time. I have tried about every day for about a month now, and it still will not let me save one. I have called apple multiple times, and they had no answer for this other than they have heard of this issue and they were sure it would be fixed within a week. Well, it has been about a month now. I have seen other people's post that they have just kept trying and they eventually got it to save, even if they never got an email saying that their account was successfully turned over to an @icloud.com account. I can sign in using my email using an [email protected] and send and reviece emails from the @icloud.com as well as my @me.com. I just cannot save an alias. I used to have an alias on my @me.com, but the apple representative said it would need to be deleted to change to the @icloud.com, so now I am extremely frustrated that I have lost that email address and I cannot create a new one.
    Any suggestions??

    I am using icloud.com. But I have not received the email I have others talk about that my account has been switch over. And when I try to make an alias, it says it is an @icloud.com, but it just cannot be saved.
    How long is this all going to take? It is just very frustrating since the apple representative told me to delete the alias, and I use that email address for many things, so my email is a mess right now!

  • Elements 3.0 cannot save lighting effects styles

    I am running a PIII 1 gig with 2 gig of memory Running win 2000Pro. I have Elements 3.0 installed and I have been using the lighting effects filter, but I have noticed that when the lighting effects box comes up there are no styles listed. Also I cannot save any lighting effects styles. When I try to save a Style I get the following error message:
    'An error occured while trying to save the style'
    I do not use any file compression on any of the drives or folder on my system.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated...
    One more thing there are lighting effects styles on the hard drive. I found them in the Plugins folder under Filters/Lighing Styles.
    Don

    Thanks for the link to the FAQ Terri.
    I checked and the proper settings were already present, but I reset them anyway. (couldn't hurt). Re-booted and cleared the preference files again. I still cannot see the lighting styles that are on the computer and I still cannot save the ones I build.
    I have also tried and Un-install and re-install, but there must have been some files that were not cleared because after the re-install some of my settings came back. I will have to try again and this time I will make sure nothing is left after the Un-install.
    I am very please with the help I have recieved on the Forum.. It always pays to have more than one mind looking for solutions.
    Thanks again
    Don

  • Cannot Save Changes in Library - Help!

    I still cannot save changes I make to a library image back to
    the library. I open library, drag the image to the stage, make a
    change ... and then it just sits there. Nothing in the library
    changes, nothing I do can make the original image in the library
    take the changes. I've tried saving as, exporting, creating a new
    image (it will not allow me to give it the same name as an existing
    library image .. the one I want to change).
    I suspect some bug in Flash since I re-installed it on a new
    laptop. It worked before. I have tried re-installing it and have
    the latest updates from Flash site.
    Any ideas???

    OK, never mind, I figured it out ... it was my unfamiliarity
    with Flash, I rarely do anything there. I had selected the "open as
    library" command which does not permit editing. Instead I needed to
    open the fla file, then choose Library from the Window menu
    Duh.

  • Cannot Save as Template in Pages '09

    I would like to create a template in Pages '09. However, whenever I go to File -> Save as template and try to save it, Pages gives me an error message telling me that I don't have permission to do so. I have selected Get Info on the file and made sure that my permissions were Read & Write (they were), but I still cannot save the file.
    I am using Mavericks iOS, which has given me nothing but trouble. I hate it....
    Any suggestions?

    It is more likely that where you want to save it hasn't the right permissions.
    If you hate Mavericks you shold go back to an earlier MacOS.
    You have  a Macbook Pro. Have you restarted it lately?  You could start it on the installation disk you get when you buy the computer ans use the disc utility to Repair permissions.

  • TS4002 Can't create any alias in iCloud mail, see message "Cannot save alias.

    Can't create any alias in iCloud mail, see message "Cannot save alias. This alias cannot be saved at this time". I tried different variations at different dates (I thought this is temporary issue) but this not helped me. Perhaps some of you have resolved this issue and can tell me how I can do it?

    Do you see in account settings two email addresses - with "@me.com" and "@icloud.com"? Or only "@me.com"? In second case just wait - your account will be updated in some time. I've waiting from summer and my account was updated in one day as soon as I've start this discussion   When your account will be updated - you will see in preferences two addresses, with "@me.com" and with "@icloud.com".

  • "Cannot save alias" error message

    I am trying to create an alias and the message that pops up is "Cannot save alias." What does this mean?
    It doesn't say that the alias is unavailable. I've been getting this error message since I migrated from MobileMe, which was over 6 months ago. I only have 1 alias created so far, I haven't used up. Anyone have any ideas?

    @icloud.com addresses are being rolled out over an unspecified period: you will get one without having to do anything, and it will be additional to your @me.com address. You will get a notification email when your account is updated. You will notice that the alias creation pane shows @icloud.com as the suffix - apparently new @me.com addresses cannot be created and I imagine you will have to wait until your account is upgraded before you can create an alias.

  • Cannot save Apple ID change...

    There are a lot of questions about this issue. I will try to be as detailed as possible. Any solutions would be most appreciated.
    I have an ipod touch 4th G and an iphone 5 with ios7. I have one Apple ID. My son has since aquired my ipod touch and signed in with his own completly different Apple ID so the only item associated with MY Apple ID is my iphone 5.
    Briefly i have everything set up how i want and i don't want to loose the information; photos on cloud, itunes purchases, calendar items on icloud etc. However my Apple ID was chosen and set up by someone else and signing into that same Apple ID reminds me of them so i want to change my Apple ID (the password has been changed since it was set it up). I do not want to create a new account, do not want to just change contact emails, i want to change my Apple ID. Yes i know i could delete it off my iphone and create a new one but this would give me a nose bleed to have the hassle to reset everything so i'm asking if i can just change the Apple ID. This way a) i dont have to sign in and be reminded of someone and b) if my Apple ID is changed they can never message me on my iphone (yes i already blocked them but as they know what my Apple ID is they can message me using any other Apple ID)
    This is what i have done so far...
    AppleID.Apple.com-Manage your apple ID-edit Apple ID
    When i change this to another email address all the circles go green but it WONT SAVE. I have been able to update any other info but this does not save, if i try to click on any other options it say do i want to save this change and again it still wont save.
    The email i am trying to use is NOT connect to any other Apple ID and is not on my account and is not my reset email.
    I followed a previous persons idea of:
    • Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
    • Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
    • Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
    • Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
    • The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
    • Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
    So now my primary email has changed to the email i want. It even now says i should make my primary email and Apple ID the same, i select that email and it WONT SAVE.
    I know that i can just get a new Apple ID but i am looking for a solution to this issue. Apple says you can change your Apple ID at any time but i cannot. Please note i was signed out of every connection to the Apple ID whilst doing these as advised by Apple, including deleting the Apple ID off my iphone5.
    Thank you in advance...

    You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.
    Also, change the password, that will shut out the other user of the account.
