TextEdit Error Message

When text edit tries to auto save, it displays this message:
This Document Could not be autosaved because you don't have write access privileges to the folder that it's in.
I am logged as an administrator

Unless you are trying to save to a location which requires root privileges, it is likely that you need to run a permissions repair: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1452

TextEdit Save Error Message "you don't have permission..."

TextEdit, in both Mountain Lion and now Mavericks,displays what appears to be a fake "Save "error:
"You don’t have permission to write to the folder that the file “XXXXX.txt” is in.
Your changes will not be saved until the problem is resolved."
I have repaired permissions several times with no result. The permissions are clean, not requiring fixing. I am Admin. I should be able to save anywhere, altho I have tried saving in many different places just to test.
It does not ask for the Admin password.
Here's when it happens:
1) Open a document. either new or existing.
2) Type some text in it.
3) Save -- choose destination if new and it seems to work.
4) Start typing in the document
5) After a few seconds I get the above error message that drops down from the title bar at the top of the document.
6) I have to click the OK button and I can go on typing.
Repeat
Save document, type a few characters, get error message, click OK.
Repeat all day long.
Yet it seems that my changes have been saved.
Most annoying.

Wow. Why bother reading the forum if you are convinced the solution isn't going to work before even trying it?
Another viewer besides myself commented above that they repeated the process and it worked for them, so it's not exclusive to my setup.
A search for textedit revealed 97 files. The search took 12 seconds on my eight core Mac Pro.
I quit EasyFind, opened TextEdit and made a simple change in the preferences, saved and then quit TextEdit.
I searched again with EasyFind, sorted by Modified and found eight files had been changed at the exact time I quit TextEdit. One of those is the culprit. I deleted them all.
No, I don't work for EasyFind, nor do I know the people, nor do I receive compensation of any type from them. I like it and recommend it because it just plain works and I like to share good info like that with the Mac community, (BTW, it's free)
Good luck with solving it on your end. If you find a more scientific solution please share it so we can see how it should be done by a real tech support guy instead of an amateur like me. (I was an Apple Var at one time, now I do some support for my friends. I'm on about my tenth Mac, the first being a Fat Mac, and have two Macs and an iPhone at this time. No doubt I have no idea what I'm doing)
You really are funny! You must be a, oh never mind, I was going to name a political party.

Save to PDF in TextEdit - Error While Printing

When I try to save a text file to PDF I receive the error message - "Error while printing". This only seems to be happening to text files I open or create in TextEdit. It works fine if I log in as a different user. I've run repair permissions and also deleted a couple of com.apple.print plist files in my user library, but the error remains.
Is there anything else I should try short of reinstalling TextEdit?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Rick

On OS X 10.8.2, with TextEdit, I can open or create text documents and export to PDF without any issue.
Here are the two preference tabs and settings that work for me. You can single click on the images for a larger version.

Open and Save
PDF documents on OS X are created with binary content, which is the junk you observe.

Error message for radiobuttongroup using report_attribute_error_message

Hi,
We are displaying error message on the submit button of a form in web dynpro abap application. We have different UI elements in the form which are mandatory to enter by the user.So we are using 'CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message' method to display error.
When user click on the error message control will go the UI field which is caused for error.
This works fine for INPUT,DROPDOWNBYKEY,TEXTEDIT,RADIOBUTTON UI elements.
But error link is not working for RADIOBUTTONGROUPBYKEY/RADIOBUTTONGROUPBYINDEX ui elements.
Is this problem is with WEB DYNPRO ABAP or am i missing any property settings. Does SAP Web Dynpro ABAP provide this functionality for RADIOBUTTONGROUPBYKEY/RADIOBUTTONGROUPBYINDEX?
Please help us to resolve the problem.

Java SE 6 runtime error message

My system keeps generating an error message:
"To open “java,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?"
How can I discover what is causing this? I see (from another discussion) that a Facebook Video Chat file can be cause this message - I don't use Facebook on this system, so that's not the fix here.
Should I install and be done with it?
Thanks

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty.

Error message when submitting podcast

I have been trying to submit a new podcast to the directory in itunes.
I tested the feed by subscribing to my podcast using the advanced menu as suggested in the FAQ on submitting a video podcast. The test was successful and I downloaded the most recent podcast and played it in itunes. The list of previous podcasts was also available in itunes.
When I used the same url to submit it to the itunes directory an error message came back.
"We require that feeds include a title"
Is there anyone who can tell me what is wrong.
This is the url that tested out successfully.

The image is still 600 x 600 - http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000122042307-vnef41-original.jpg - it looks as if SoundCloud is 'helpfully' reducing the size to what used to apply several years ago. I don't know what you can do about this.
There are several ways of looking at the coding for your feed. The simplest is to control-click on its URL
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:118687921/sounds.rss
and choose 'Download' or 'Save linked file' or similar to download it. Then drag it onto the TextEdit icon to open it. Alternatively nominate a browser as your RSS reader - FireFox is good: Safari almost as good - in FireFox his command-u; in Safari you can access the source code from menus which differer with the version.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

Receive error message when trying to open .rtf files.

I have .rtf files I am trying to open for school and cannot view them in TextEdit, Pages, Word for Mac, TextWringler, or Openoffice.org. I can open the original file but when I edit them I get this error when I try and open them:
"The document 'xxx.rtf' could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format."
In smaller text below it:
"The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
(To clarify, 'xxx' is not ****. I replaced the actual file name with 'xxx' for this post.... just incase you were wondering)
I have also changed the extension to .txt and .doc and the best outcome I get is format code.
Any help?

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

Right click your document, hover over "Open with..." and then click "Other".
Find TextEdit and click "Open".
TextEdit will then do it's best to open your document.
If you have iLife, do the same but instead of opening with TextEdit open with Numbers, Pages, Keynote, e.t.c.

How do I resolve a "printer not connected" error message?

Dear Mac Community,
For the better part of a year I have printed flawlessly to my HP Color LaserJet CP4020 on my home wireless network. Recently I upgraded to OS X 10.8.4 and now when I print, the queue stalls and I receive the following error message, "The printer is not connected."
Here is what I have tried so far to resolve the issue but to no avail:
Downloaded and installed the latest HP firmware and software drivers
Deleted the printer and added it again in Preferences>Print & Scan
And, of course, the above noted bullet point is the rub: If the printer were not connected to my wireless network then it would be unable to be added! But since I can add the printer, my OS is definitely seeing the printer on the network.
After the above diagnostics I tried printing from native Mac OS apps (e.g. TextEdit) and non-native apps (e.g. Microsoft Word), and both worked.
Then they stopped.
Then they would print after several minutes of delay (e.g. a single sentence Text Edit test print page took over a minute and a five sentence Word document took over 5 minutes).
Then they stopped.
And now I cannot print anything!
In case it helps, my specifications are as follows:
MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.4 with 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, 75 GB available HD space
HP Color LaserJet CP4020, Firmware v.20120112 07 .111.0, Software Driver v. 9.4
Any help anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy

EDL error message

Hello
I'm trying to create and EDL file from an FCP 7 sequence and I keep getting an error message that says
"The media files of one or more clips are missing timecode tracks and may also be missing reel names. Proceeding with the export will result in an EDL that will not represent the original sequence correctly."
All the clips are connected, there is nothing offline, and everything has been captured in so I can see timecodes and reel numbers. All graphics and effects have been removed.
I'm trying to send this to my editor to reconnect to original high-res, RED files.
Can anyone help me? Thank you.

>everything has been captured in...
Describe how you captured exactly. What format(s) does your footage use?
Does the project include still images - photos etc? That might be the issue here. Replace with a section of black and add a note in your EDL to include the still image's file name. An EDL is just a human readable text file after all - you can even add the note after the fact in TextEdit. Nests will also cause problems - even if the nest content uses TC and valid reel names.
>All graphics and effects have been removed.
Graphics such as lower thirds etc will only be included as "Key" entries in some EDL formats with the "Aux" reel description. This won't import the actual graphic of course, but some systems will replace it with a place holder. That might be color bars, black or a solid color, depending on what is assigned to mark an Aux on the finishing NLE. Other systems will simply ignore it.
Filters and effects (with the exception of speed changes) have no way of being represented in any EDL format so it doesn't make a difference if you leave them in or not. Wipe transitions are kept intact so long as they conform to one of the SMTPE standard numerical IDs. Custom transitions will default to a cross dissolve or more usually, a SMTPE 01 left-right horizontal wipe, again depending on the system being used.

Looks like. I tried in the TextEdit format tab to set all the combinations while opening the file, like plain text, rtf and html without success. Always I get the same signs.

Logic pro 9 keeps crashing. I get a "disc not ejected properly" message among other error messages. I can't even force quit. It makes me do the hard shutdown. Any ideas? Same problem with both external hard drives

Getting lots of crazy error messages pertaining to the external hard drives. This problem is bad. Usually can't run the software very long at all before it crashes. Logic version 9.1.8 running on OS 10.7.5 on a Macbook Pro

Such an error is being reported by OS X (nothing to do with Logic) and indicates that your Mac and your external drives are losing connection for some reason... There are some external drives that will incorrectly 'go to sleep' without reporting it to OS X which then thinks the drives have been unplugged without ejecting, hence the msg.
Also, you could have a flaky physical connection somewhere.. so check ports and cables....
So... to troubleshoot.. try the following...
Save and place a small text file on each of the drives.. Open both text files in textedit.. and keep them open (You can minimize textedit ) Now, see if you still get that problem.. when the files are kept open.
If you do not get this problem.. then the likelohood is it will be the HDs 'going to sleep' without proper reporting to OS X.. so check for a firmware update from the HD's manufacturer.. that will stop this from happening.
If they still disconnect, its more likely it is a physical ports and cable issue.
