Suddenly can't save files

Just recently when I try to save files in PSE9, they are not showing up in my viewer software (ViewNX2), although they are there in the location where I saved them when I use the computer's finder. Barbara Brundage says there's a bug where you may have to manually enter the file extensions.  I tried that and it did save correctly.  But how can I revert PSE9 to how it was before, so I don't have to manually enter every file extension when saving?

I am having a similar problem but with my own app. I believe it is somehow related to the new Lion "features" regarding app sandboxing and entitlements.
At least in my case, my app is only allowed to save a handful of predefined filetypes and not some others, in which case I get the same system message.
I hope an Apple engineer will take the time to clarify this for me, as it's driving me nuts.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 suddenly can't save to main hard drive

    This is very strange.  In Photoshop I suddenly can't save files to the main hard drive on my mac mini.  I get the error "Could not save as [filename] because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."  I can however save files to the secondary hard drive.  Other applications can save to the main hard drive just fine.
    As a test, in Photoshop I tried saving to the root of both drives.  I get the error only when attempting to save to the main hard drive.  I have checked the permissions of both drives and they are identical:  system R/W, wheel R/W, and everyone R/W.
    I have tried everything I can find on the message boards, but nothing works (disk repair, repair permissions, etc).  I have also reinstalled Photoshop and get the same error.
    any help much appreciated!
    thanks,
    JC

    The problem has resolved itself!
    All I did was reboot a few times in my attempts to get Command-R to work (I have a PC keyboard and the "option" and "command" keys are reversed until OS X boots).
    Oh, one other thing I did... I logged in as a different user and ran Photoshop and was able to save a file to the main hard drive.  Very strange because this guest user has less privilege than my normal login.

  • I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

    I can't save files to my desktop.  I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else.  WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop.  The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

    Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

  • Suddenly can't put files to remote server

    Hi there,
    In Dreamweaver 5.5 (OS 10.7) I suddenly can't put files to the remote server. I've been using Dreamweaver for just over a year and this has never been a problem before. My site is: www.peawitpress.co.uk
    The updated files go through the normal process of being "put" to the server (I don't get an error message or anything when synchronising), but when I check the live site the changes don't appear. I've tried refreshing the page and emptying the cache, but nothing seems to work. I've verified that I can connect to my web server and have verified the root directory and they are both fine.
    The only thing that is unusual when synchronising is that (for the past day) the six files in the attached screenshot always want to synchronise (even though they haven't been updated). I deleted them from the site and added them again in case they somehow became corrupted, but they still randomly want to synchronise.
    Any suggestions? It seems like there would be an easy solution for this, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
    Thanks and best wishes,
    Alexandria

    This has happened to me a few times in CS6. I think it's a memory thing. 
    Close DW.  Reboot your computer.  Open DW. 
    If you still cannot FTP to server, go to Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache.

  • Can we save file developed in captivate 4 to captivate version 3

    Can we save file developed in captivate 4 to captivate version 3? If yes are there any issues?

    Sorry, there is no backwards compatibility, you cannot save in format CP3 from CP4. Perhaps it is possible, if you have both CP3 and CP4 installed to copy slides from the CP4 to an blank CP3-file. As long as no new features of CP4 are present this could work.

  • Illustrator cc 2014 can't save files

    Hi!
    I Have a lot of problems with the Illustrator CC 2014. And it freaks me out. I have no idea how to reach Adobe. I've tried another Adobe forum but haven't heard anything.. I would appreciate some sort of help. Or if someone knows where to post the question?
    1) First of all can't save files… I wish this could be the number one feature in a design app but apparently not..
    I got   "unknown error " and all work spent is gone forever. This happens a lot.
    2) also lagging problems. when moving graphics and zooming in illustrator. it is SO stressful.
    I have Two computers, with the same problems.

    Nils Petter,
    If no brighter suggestion comes up, you may try the list, see below.
    Did you install fully on both computers (after upgrading the OS if relevant)?
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Can't save file with futura font?

    Hi
    I'm having a problem saving a file that contains the futura font. This is a font my company had to buy. I never had a problem with CS1 or CS2 using this font.
    Once I place the font in the document it will let me save it once. After making changes and trying to save again I get a window that simply says "can't save file". I've tried unchecking the pdf compatible option and the compression option with no change.
    I found one thread on this site about clearing out the font cache (by deleting the file C:\windows\system32\FNTCACHE.dat) and that didn't make a difference.
    When I'm done with the document I'll be converting the text to outlines but I need a fix will I'm working on the doc.
    Thoughts?

    Mike,
    Glad you got it sorted out. After I sent you back the regenerated fonts, I discovered something which I'm posting here for everyone's benefit.
    Myle nailed it when he suggested an "an issue with font embedding." The fonts you sent me were all embedding-restricted. It's possible you could have saved your documents had you turned off the PDF compatibility option, but it's moot now.
    It's doubtful the fonts I regenerated for you will solve the problem because putting them through my font editor did not remove the embedding restriction. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that your replacement fonts do not have embedding restriction.
    To check for the embedding restriction, you don't need a fancy program. Just download this Windows extension from Microsoft and install it. Then, right-click | Properties on any font file will give you a lot more information about that font, including licensing/embedding restrictions.

  • IWork: Bought as an app but never got serial number so I can't save files??

    iWork: Bought as an app but never got serial number so I can't save files??

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    No, but before anyone can help you, you'll need to tell us what version of Photoshop you are using, and what your new update status is. Plus we need to know what your operating system is.
    [edit]
    Whoops.  Just noticed that you mention CC, so I guess you are talking about 14.1.  So what is your OS?

  • CS6 can not save files over 2GB???????

    I need to make a giant poster at 6ft wide x 5 ft tall. I created a blank document in CS6 at 200ppi. I created some text, and imported a couple of 25MB images. I am unable to save the file as a .PSD because it indicates that PS can not save files over 2GB.
    1. How did this file grow to become over 2GB?
    2. Why can PS not save a .PSD over 2GB?
    3. What do you do if you need to create a large format print such as this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Very true.
    However, Jeff knows exactly what he's doing and he's very, very good at it.  If your image were fortunate enough to end up being printed by Jeff Schewe, he'd be able to tell you exactly what kind of an image file he wants from you. 
    Always check with the printer.

  • Ready-only issue. Can't save files or highlight with Reader 11.7.1 & Kitkat 4.4.2 Samsung Tab 3

    Hello,
    I got several updates last weekend. Since then I can't save my pdf files properly. Before everything was fine.
    When I want to open a pdf now -  a prompt pops-up, saying this:
    Read-only document
    To modify this document save a copy on your device. The document will be available to other applications on this device.
    I found another thread which describes the same error - but I already have 11.7.1 with 4.4.2 and it does not work.
    Can't save files or highlight them on Reader 11.7.0 in Kitkat 4.4.2 Acer A1 Tablet

    Are these files stored on your external SD card or your internal storage? Android KitKat has added restrictions for third party apps from modifying content on the external SD Card. You can find some more information here: KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood | Android Central
    Could you please confirm if the issue exists for files on the SD card only?
    Thanks,

  • Can I save files from my pc onto iCloud and access them from my iPhone?

    Hi, I'm new to iCloud. Just set it up on my iPhone and PC. Can I save files on my pc onto iCloud so I can access them from both my iPhone and PC?

    StoneMountainGirl,
    No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time.  If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

    Nothing worked. I can't save my file, and I'm late for a meeting. I want a support person to call me. I shouldn't have to pay to fix your bugs.
    I've used this file for over a month, and it was working fine until today.

    I cannot save, or use excel files, just view them.  I cannot even open up the "file" button in an excel sheet, or use macros or anything that should work.  I shut down my computer this morning, and started it up an hour later, and now the sheet
    won't work.  
    Is this because of an update microsoft just put out?  If so, how can I disable it?

  • Can't save files to Last Folder Used

    I'm scanning items with a Kodak iQsmart3, running under Kodak's oXYgen 2.6.1 scan application. Late last week, the application suddenly stopped saving files to the last folder used. Now I have to re-select the destination folder for each scan.
    I have rebooted the computer several times, and have also re-installed the scan application, but nothing helps the problem. It seems now that the problem may be with OS 10.4.11. I've searched and searched for a solution within the OS, but can't find anything that helps.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Is there a place where you can check to see if the saving options can be changed?

    Thanks for your suggestion. However, I did as you advised and still cannot save files to the last folder used, as I used to be able to do.
    This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years I've been using this system that I've had any trouble with it. When I opened Disk Utility, it showed me the size and type of three different drives, all identical in manufacture. The first holds the Operating system, and the other two are set up in a Raid Striped set. I selected Macintosh HD under the name of the first drive, since that's the name of the disk on my desktop, and ran the Repair Permissions function, moving the recentitems.plist file to the desktop and rebooting, as per your instructions. Was that the proper area to use or should I have selected the disk description above that?
