TextEdit.app won't save new files to sub-firs of my Documents dir

This just started happening recently. Right after I installed the last Pages update AAMOF.
I can successfully save a new document (.rtf) file to my Documents, but not to any sub-dir. The error dialog box says it can't save because file doesn't exists. And, this gets logged to the console:
TextEdit[283]: view service marshal for <NSRemoteView: 0x7fe8cb422cd0> failed to forget accessibility connection due to Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application."
It's just TextEdit that's doing this, no other apps seem too be affected.

Thanks Griff W,
I ran disk utility, and although it reported lots of permissions issues with the iBooks app and some Printer stuff, nothing related to TextEdit.
I've done a little more investigating...
This is only happening on my i7 iMac at work. Everything is fine on my MacBook Pro and my i5 iMac at home. So, I guess we can discount the Pages update having anything to do with this.
Everything is up to date, updates wise, on all of my machines listed above.
I did enable FileVault encryption on my work i7 iMac around the 1st week of August. That could have possibly messed something up with TextEdit??
Again, this is just happening with TextEdit, when trying to save a new document to a sub-directory of my Documents dir. Similar saves to other directories and/or sub-dirs work just fine.
If I save a new TextEdit document to my Documents dir, that works. And, if I then move it to a sub-dir, I can successfully edit and save it again with TextEdit.
This is the message I get in the TextEdit dialog box when doing a failed new document save: The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “See.rtf”. The file doesn’t exist.What the heck does that mean anyway? The document/file "Untitled" doesn't exist.. well of course not, it's a new document!
I do have a bad habit of keeping unsaved "notes, reminders, todos, etc." as TextEdit documents laying around. And, doing logouts, reboots, etc. with these "unsaved" documents still laying around. Could that have contributed to this issue?
This isn't exactly a show stopper, I can work around it. It's more annoying then anything. Any ideas on how to fix things will be appreciated though.

Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 won't save pdf file as original file name

We are currently using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10.
When we open and existing pdf file then make any changes (using the Fill & Sign Tab at the top right hand side) then click Save it won't save the file. We have to re-name the file in order to save it.
This was working ok back in January and wondered if there has been an up-date since then that has made this error occur?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. We have tried that but it has not made any difference. Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

How does one save new files to an encrypted disk image?

I encrypted a particular folder, and used a sparse image to leave plenty of room, as well as using read/write permissions, but I don't see how to save new files to the encrypted folder.

So, I guess you have to save the file to the desktop and then drag it to the mounted disk?
No, you should be able to save directly to a mounted disk image via a dialogue box. There is no need for an intermediate step. As long as the encrypted disk image is mounted, it is open and appears to be just another folder.
As an experiment, open a Textedit document and save it to the mounted (open) disk image via Save As in Textedit. It should be able to do that.

Recently updated Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and and can not open exisiting Illustrator5 files or save new files.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and can not open existing Illustrator5 files or save new files can someone help?

I think you have a corrupted upgrade. Do you have a backup of your old system?
Here's what you should do for now:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Appleworks won't save DB file as ASCII

My AppleWorks Database won't save the file as an ASCII (for export) Save As, only offers AppleWorks and Claris Works options. I know in the past ASCII was an option, but for some reason no longer?
I am running AW 6.2.9 on a PowerPC G5 running 10.5.8.

Did you move the AppleWorks application from the AppleWorks 6 folder, separating it from its necessary folders - AppleWorks Essentials, Clippings & Starting Points? The AppleWorks 6 application & the above mentioned folders must be in a folder named AppleWorks 6 & this folder must be at the first level of the Applications folder. Not keeping all these "parts" together will break translators, spell check, updaters, etc.

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!
VJ

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

IPhone 4's standard "notes" app doesn't save new updates?

I regularly use the 'notes' app that comes standard on the iPhone for everything. Shopping lists, to do lists, you name it. But with the new iPhone 4, the app doesn't save new edits. I'll type in or delete something, and then after I hit done, the "thinking" thing at the top left rolls around a few times, and then whatever I just typed in disappeared, or whatever I deleted reappears. Help!

I don't live in that area (I'm in northern Orange County, CA), but my neighbor and I have been having the same problem since last Saturday (Feb. 5) in the area around where we live (we both have iPhone 4's, and they still work fine in other areas). Note that we have full bars, and the "3G" symbol on the display, but get no data over 3G; disabling 3G allows access using EDGE (slowly), and phone/texting works fine (it's just the 3G data in our neighborhood that's broken). Since we both have WiFi in our homes, we didn't initially identify the 3G problem; what we both noticed was a sudden increase in iPhone power consumption (beginning last Saturday) when we are in our neighborhood (even when the phones are idle); I used to go 3-4 days on a charge, but now the battery drops at a rate of about 10%/hour when I'm around the house. Interestingly, my neighbor also has an iPad, and it doesn't exhibit the problem. Both phones and the iPad are running iOS V4.2.1. We've tried all the normal things (rebooting, clearing network settings, etc.), and nothing works. I spent some time on the phone last night with AT&T, and they are going to send someone out to check connectivity.

Elements 12 for MAC won't open new files or save to any format

After using for a few weeks, I have had a few crashes, but this morning, I could not save a photo "Due to program Error" (no codes etc). Closing out that file and losing the edits, but now I cannot open any new file?!? Again "due to program Error". Working on Christmas cards and gifts...so this is not cool! Any help out there would be GREATLY appreciated! Running Macbook Pro with ample disk space and hard drive availibitly.

First try going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting PSE.

WL 6.1 won't recognize new files (.htm, .jsp, etc) in web app

I am in the process of moving our web application over to WebLogic 6.1. Actually,
I'm creating the WebApp for the first time, since 5.1 didn't require it. Our
application creates .pdf files on the fly and places it off the http root directory.
What I have noticed is that ANY file that is put in the application directories
will not show up until the server is restarted.
There must be a config parameter to change this so that new files are available
to browser users immediately.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!
Brian

It sounds like we are in a similar situation. I am using "managed" servers.
I spoke extensively with BEA Support last night -- and they basically told me
the same thing. You have to either use the deploy utility to deploy new files
(static or otherwise) to you WebApp, or there is a refresh utility that you can
run from the command line. I can't remember the name of it right off the top
of my head, but it is referenced in the docs.
As far as we are concerned, this is a serious flaw in WebLogic 6.1. I'm not knowledgeable
enough to know if this is really a Sun j2EE issue or not, but I wouldn't think
so. This seems like implementation (BEA) specific. This little flaw could
cause us to seriously rethink which application server we're going to use.
I find it difficult to believe that BEA couldn't anticipate this type of activity
-- where static content is constantly being added to the application. BEA support
suggested that I don't know managed servers, but instead use the admin server
to run the app and keep it in development mode so new static content is automatically
"deployed"!! Not the best solution I can think of, since another BEA resource
I have dealt with strongly recommends AGAINST running a production system in development
mode.
Anyone have any additional ideas??
Thanks.

took a lot to find out what was happening.
In my situation I was using a StartManaged Bea Weblogic application.
In this case you must use a specific utility to redeploy .jsp .html files.
Since I'm not sure you are in exactly the same situation, please tell
me if you
use managed of normal bea web startup.

InDesign CC won't save my files

Hi
I've been working in InDesign for a week now and since yesterday I started noticing that at times InDesign won't undo and I am not able to save my file. I keep hitting command + s while working but it just doesn't save or give an error message. If I go on the File menu all the save and save as commands are grayed out. If you close the file and click on the save button InDesign just gives a message that the file cannot be saved. I have to close the file without saving and redo all the work. Because InDesign doesn't give an error when pressing command + s I would do a lot of work under the impression everything gets saved but it doesn't and I keep losing a lot of work.
Also CC runs very slow. There are times when the program just "freezes" for awhile while InDesign does somethings in the background and only after it is done you can start working again. The pages panel takes ages to load the previews onto the pages and while it is doing so I cannot do anything at all.
Starting to think I should have stayed with CS6.

@all – the above JavaScript (ExtendScript) in post #34 cannot work as expected on Mac OSX.
At best you will save a file named "Test\test.indd" on the desktop…
Instead I would recommend a slightly altered version:
var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/Test");
if (!myFolder.exist) myFolder.create();
app.activeDocument.save(myFolder.fsName + "/" +Date.now()+"_test.indd");
See the "/" instead of "\\".
I changed it, so every time you execute it (and if it will not throw an error!), you'll get a new file with an unique file name.
("Date.now()" should be sufficient enough to generate a new sequence of a 13 digit number every time you try).
Or maybe even better: save a copy of your file:
var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/Test");
if (!myFolder.exist) myFolder.create();
app.activeDocument.saveACopy(myFolder.fsName + "/" +Date.now()+"_test.indd");
All testing on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
@BienzBliemer – I think, the above script(s) will not work in your scenario, because InDesign has not finished something that goes on in the background. A hidden modal dialog that is not answered should not be the problem, because you can start up a script …

Acrobat v9.3.2 Won't Save PDF Files On W7 64 Bit

I have a dilemma that needs to be solved. I have a new Windows 7 64 bit system with several terabytes of legal documents stored locally, mostly in PDF. After loading Adobe Acrobat Standard v9.3.2 I find that while I can open PDF documents, I can only save edits/highlights/comments only once. However on all subsequent edits and save attempts Adobe delivers the message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". I no for a fact that the file is not open elsewhere and if I view the security properties of the file it does not show as read-only. If I save the document with a new file name it behaves correctly just once, then begins delivering the same error message as the original PDF on all subsequent saves.
In addition to the built-in Windows accounts there is only one user account on the W7 system, it has password protection and administrative privileges. The PDF files that cannot be saved are all owned by this account and the account presumably has "full privileges". Further, the PDF documents themsvelves have "no security" and allow for editing/highlighting/commenting. It is important to add that many of the same PDF documents I'm trying to edit were easily edited and saved on a previous 32 bit Windows XP Pro system which this sytem replaced. Moreover, on a seperate 32 bit Windows 7 laptop and the 32 bit Adobe Acrobat Standard v9.3.2. these same PDF files stored on a network drive have no difficulty performing all the edit and save functions. However, if a sample PDF document stored on the local drive of the 64 bit W7 system is shared and accessed directly by the 32 bit W7 laptop system, the laptop/Adobe Standard will deliver the same error trying to editing and save the image stored on the 64 bit Windows 7 system.
I have tried running Acrobat on the 64 bit W7 desktop as "administrator" but the problem persisted.
My Acrobat Standard indicates there are no updates available.
I've pretty much exhausted everything I know to look for and I am stuck.
I hope someone can offer some insight to this.
Thanks in advance,
Sandy

I believe I may have found the problem and potential fix or workaround for the problem described in my original post.
Windows 7 has a feature in Windows Explorer that will if enabled show a file preview image in the rightmost pane when a file is selected or moused-over. If one selects an Abobe PDF document to launch Adobe Acrobat will launch in a seperate window while the Windows Explorer pane will show a thumbnail sized image of the first page of the PDF document in the Windows Explorer pane. The explorer window may even be behind the Acrobat application so once one is looking at the full document in Acrobat they may not even notice the thumbnail image in Windows Explorer.
On my setup, when this would happen I could edit a PDF document and save the PDF only once, but any further save would fail. Apparently the thumbnail in Windows Explorer is enough to make Acrobat believe the file is already open, or open by another user.
One workaround is that once Adobe Acrobat is launched explicitly look for and close the Windows Explorer showing the PDF thumbnail. One might also accomplish the same by moving the mouse over a different file so the thumbnail of the open PDF is not showing, or to turn off the preview function in Windows 7 Explorer altogether. I haven't yet tried the latter.
Acrobat is the only application on my W7 Pro system that doesn't play well with Windows preview mode. My MS Office apps have no difficulty saving even while showing thumbnails in the preview pane.
I hope this might be helpful to anyone else experiencing this problem.

InDesign update CS5.5 won't open new file / can't get monitor RGB colors

My biggest problem...a job to do a b&w booklet for a 50th class reunion ready for printer. Tried PS. Downloaded trial of Publisher, but haven't tried. Upgraded Creative Suite to 5.5 to use InDesign. Everything I set as prefs, formats, etc. as soon as I hit enter I get a full screen empty page and a cursor that twirls until I force quit. Do you know why? Do I need to uninstall the earlier version of CS? I should be done with this project and haven't begun. Should I just go to PS and create a tabloid format master and do it all manually? Should I try publisher? Can I get InDesign to work? My reputation is at stake and I want to get the job done rather than tell him this late that I can't do it!
While trying to set the template for the book in InDesign, somehow I now only have 2 colors... blue and graphite, for my display of everything. Tried ColorSync, DigitalColor Meter, tried to find out what resolution to use, I'm lost! NEVER had these problems b4! Please help me ASAP if you know the answers!
How will I know if someone answers?

Does this happen with all CS4 files or just some?
Do those files work in CS4/on other computers?
Where are those files from?
Are they perhaps on a networked drive? An USB stick?
Can you save a new file and open that?
