Strange error message when saving Photoshop CS5 files

Once in awhile, and only with some files, I get the following pop-up message when I save an image that I've been editing in Photoshop CS5:
"The disk copy of <filename> was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?"
Unless I'm missing something, this is the most idiotic message I've ever seen. OF COURSE I want to save it. And why? Because the file has changed.
Can anyone tell me why this message pops up and whether I need to do anything about it?
Thanks!

The details shouldn't really matter. But OK: I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a 2010 iMac 3.06GHz i3 with 8GB of RAM and OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 installed. I save my files the old-fashioned way: Command-S.
I've been using Photoshop since version 1.0 and have never seen this message before. An explanation would be appreciated.

  • "Unknown Error" Message when saving Illutrator CS3 file

    I get this unknown error message when attempting to save an illustrator file.(CS3). I tried to open and then save several files with the same resulting error message. As a work around, I have reverted to working in CS2 until I can get this resolved.

    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
    Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

  • Q: Error message when printing Photoshop CS3 file

    I get an error message when I try printing a CS3 photo on my Epson C86 printer, and the resulting print has the wrong colors and luminance levels.
    Error Message = "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
    Any ideas for how to work through this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Error message when launch Photoshop CS5

    Every time I launch Photoshop CS5, I get the following error message: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
    Re-installing Photoshop does not fix the problem. AFAICT, Photoshop runs normally despite the error message. I presume this message arose because I uninstalled an earlier trial version of Photoshop CS4 before installing CS5 for the first time.
    Does anybody have an ideal how to fix this? Is it really a problem? What files should be in the Adobe Application Support folder?
    Regards,
    Robert

    What you could try is to uninstall CS5 and then run the Creative Suite Cleaner tool.  Then reinstall CS5.

  • Error Message when opening Photoshop CS5: CoreFoundation.dll missing

    Hello... and thank you for your help,
    I downloaded my upgraded version of CS5 yesterday. I am running Windows 7.
    I did not have a problem with the download or with accessing it. CS4 is still loaded on my computer.
    Toady I started copying plugins and loading actions from CS4 to CS5. All of that went well too. I also tried to open CS4 while CS5 was open (and vice versa) to manually copy my Preference settings to CS5. When either was already open and I tried to open the other version, the other version merely reopened the version that was already opened.
    At some point during this transitioning process, I opened up CS5 and received an error message that "The program can't start because the CoreFoundation.dll is missing from your computer..." I searched for this .dll file and found several entries, two of which are in CS4 and CS4 (64 bit).
    How do I correct this? What happened? Also, do I need to keep my CS4 versions -- and are they causing the problem?
    Thank you so much for your help,
    Guy

    Thanks so much, Chris.
    The 64bit version of CS5 opens perfectly... and when I open this version first, then close it and open the 32 bit version (the one with the problem), the 32 bit version opens the first time without the error. The next time I open it, the error returns.
    The 32 bit and 64 bit CS4 versions have these .dll files in them. Would copying one of these files to the CS5 version correct the problem? Should I uninstall and reinstall CS5 all together?
    Thank you again.
    Guy
    PS Interesting that you mention iTunes. iTunes works fine except I haven't been able to open the iTunes store for two months... and Apple doesn't know why. (They stopped trying a month ago.) Also, one of their techs told me I can't delete Quicktime without damaging iTunes(?)

    I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

    For the last month, I've been getting an error message when opening Photoshop CC that says:

    I've been having to go back and use CS5 in order to get anything accomplished between this and my plugins not showing up (post about plugins in another thread).

  • Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

    I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
    "Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

    Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
    Is your media card formatted? 
    If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
    If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
    Let me know how you make out
    Thanks!

  • "This file cannot be found" error message when saving document

    Hello,
    Strangely, every time I click "save" in CS6 it opens up a 'Save As' window, (which shouldn't happen), then I click save witht the existing file name (it then tells me the doc already exists), I click OK, (and then OK to the next popup window) then get the message that "This file cannot be found".  I'm forced to click "ok" and the doument isn't saved.  I've tried saving it differently in previous versions and it still doesn't work.  I recorded a video of this behavior. You can see it here - http://screencast.com/t/W1GYK0zsrk 
    Why would it be trying to find a file?  It seems like an error message when trying to Open a doc, not Save a doc.
    Please HELP!!  I can't shutdown my station until I get the document to save.

    Yes, Mohit1233 - it happened with every file yesterday. Finally, I closed the doc (forcing me to lose my work), then restarted my computer and today the problem is gone. I'm working on a PC (HP);
    Barblove - I tried doing that yesterday (copying and pasting into a new doc), and still nothing. I also tried copying the work into a CS3 doc (but got an error message).

  • Strange error message when I tried to use the "collaborate" function under "File"

    Has anyone else met this before? : I am trying to share my project with my team members. Tried File -> Collaborate and then try three options under it. Non e of them works. It asks for your Adobe ID in order to sign in and upload. However, every time I typed in my Adobe ID and password, it gave me strange error messages. The first time it says: User has not verified email address yet. I have been using this Adobe ID since 2008 or 2009 and of course I have verified my email address. But to make sure, I went back to my email box and search for emails about Adobe ID verification but I didn't find any (I never delete emails such as this).
    Then I tried to register a new Adobe ID. This time when I tried to singn in with the new Adobe ID, it will either say "Network may not be available" (which is not true because I am able to surf on the Internet at the same time), or it says "User has not accepted user condition/agreement".
    I feel so frustrated because I feel this is definitely not my mistake which caused the failure of log in.
    Hope someone can tell me what the reason is and how to fix it though.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Lilybiri,
    Thanks for your quick response. I followed your suggestion and verified my Adobe ID on acrobat.com.
    Now I can enter the collaborate function. However, everytime when I tried to send it to myself (for test purpose) I got another error message "You need to enter a valid emaill address". I saw someone else on this forum has met the same problem. Do you have any suggestion on what is the possible reason for this to happen?
    Again, thanks for the fast response. You have been helping me and other ppl so much.

  • Error message when saving .fm file

    I just upgraded my FrameMaker program to 7.2.
    When I try to save my work, the following message appears on-screen:
    An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document.  The file has been saved, but has lost some image data.  Please report this error to Adobe Technical Support.
    My file has NOT been saved, none of the changes I've made have been saved.  I cannot save this file under a different name, either.  And the automated files that are generated by the program as &quot;back-up&quot; files are useless.
    HELP!!!

    Upgraded to 7.2..... Good that you didn't rush into it. ;-  )
    Anyway, that's the standard error message when a file contains objects imported using an OLE link AND you are running XP SP3.
    SP3 implemented security fixes that essentially broke OLE within Frame (and a number of other applications).
    So if your document(s) contain OLE links, you're likely to have to convert them to imported-by-reference graphics if they're graphic files or do some other type of conversion if they're tables or PPT slides.

  • "Failed to initialize" error message when installing Photoshop Elements 12

    Hi,
    I kepe getting an error message when trying to install Photoshop elements 12. I have re-downloaded the files multiple times from different places and none work so I know it isn't a corrupted file. Tried a system restart. Tried using support advisor but it found no issues.
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.9 on a 2012 Macbook Pro that meets system requirements.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I have gone through the install logs and the error I am getting is 'PIM - Error could not create PIM Common Folder Path'. I have gone to the PDApp folder and it does not have any permissions on it. I have gone to the folder PDApp and it doesn't have any permissions, I'm not sure what to do from here. The PDApp folder is a alias that leads to the Adobe Application Managers folder. Sorry for the font being bold, it wouldn't turn off after pasting the error message.
