Trying to Save (menu or cmd-s) a file always opens Save As dialog

Hi,
First post (hello forums) - any help would be much appreciated. Please be kind if this is a no-brainer for the gurus out there.
I'm on a Mac G5, OSX 10.4 running CS3 - upgraded from PS7 about 3 weeks ago.
All was humming along nicely until this morning. I opened a file I had been working on (without problem) yesterday, made a few edits, hit cmd-s, and the save As dialog popped up. Okay, no worries -- overwrite, and move on. Made a few more edits, cmd-s, and again the Save As dialog pops up. Cancelled that dialog and tried the save command from the menu -- same thing -- get the Save As dialog. Hmmm... Closed that file, created a fresh one, made some simple edits, and tried to Save -- again the Save As dialog opens.
Not a huge deal - I can always overwrite, but save should just save a working file surely.
I've scoured the interwebs looking for any ideas, but nothing.
Again, any help would be much appreciated.

Hey,
Thanks for the speedy response. Its been .psd's so far, but I haven't tried any other file type. Edits have been anything really -- adding layers to new files, adding layers to existing layered files, adding shapes, adding text to a layer - just about any alteration that would normally 'un-grey' the save option in the menu.
The 'Layers' and the 'Embed Color Profile' boxes are checked in the save As dialog.
Thanx.

  • Trying to Deploy either a .cmd or .bat file to update a registry Entry but not working

    Hello.
    I'm trying to deploy either a .cmd or .bat file to a few computers to update the registry and When I run the .cmd or .bat on the pc manually it works just fine. However when I create an application and try to deploy to the computers I keep getting the error
    "The application was not detected after installation completed."
    When I login to that computer I can tell that the file has not been run as none of the reg settings are changed
    In the application properties I have tried cmd.exe "RegUpdate.cmd" and regedit /s "RegUpdate.cmd" and same result. Any ideas?

    I have an application that has some different options for its configuration which all populate the registry.  The application has a option that when you set all the options like you want them you can click save as and it creates the .cmd file for you
    with all the registry settings.

    In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

  • I get the Save As dialog when trying to Save, whether using Command-S or File menu

    When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added  to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    I checked and the files are not stationery pads, Permissions show me as having read and write authority.
    But, when I  opened the files from the finder, the problem disappears and they saved normally. I then removed the files from the Dock and re-placed them in the Dock via drag and drop. The problem re-appears and changes will not save normally. Not being able to use the Dock is inconvenient but at least there is a workaround. Thanks for your help! Before declaring victory, I'd like to watch it for a while for other quirks.

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • When trying to save a page, I can enter file name etc, but don't see the SAVE button to click SAVE. It's like it's below the screen or something. How do I fix this?

    I was in a webpage and was trying to save it. I selected SAVE AS from the drop down menu. Then I entered the file name, and selected TEXT ONLY as file type. Only thing left to do was click SAVE, but there was no SAVE button.

    You can check it DTA or another extension isn't causing this problem.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

    What version of Acrobat are you using?
    You might need to go to File> Save As Other> Microsoft Word or choose 'Adobe PDF printer' from the File menu.
    Is save as option not functioning correctly? Do you get any specific error?

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Photoshop CS5 64x partially freezes up after trying to save a file !

    Photoshop CS5 freezes up after trying to save a file.   It doesnt freeze up totally .It just leaves me about 3 choices from the drop down menu.
    This only happens with the installed 64 bit version and not with the installed 32 bit version?
    My Operating System(OS) is Win.7 64x.  I have all the latest versions of everything installed! The computer is run by an Intel 7 930 quad core processor with 8GB DDR 3 Ram(1600Hz).  I have reinstalled both Photoshop Versions(32&64 bit versions) but still get the same problem.
    The image files that i have tried to save are not corrupted as I can save them using the 32bit ver.  But cannt save them via the 64 bit ver. without the software partially freeing up!  Would be most grateful for any proper and constructive advice in order to remedy this problem.
    All the best from NUGCS5.

    Re comparing to Irfan View:
    For what it's worth, Irfan Skiljan's marketing strategy is just different than Adobe's.  He may actually be more wealthy for having written that one application than most any Adobe engineer has made from Photoshop (well, maybe not Mr. Knoll).  I know I've paid Irfan for my copy.  By some counts he has hundreds of millions of copies in circulation.  If only one in a thousand people paid him the $10...  And who knows what Google pays him for piggybacking their stupid toolbar (grrrrr, but it's deselectable)...
    I agree with you that recovering a corrupted file at all costs is way better than "nope, can't open it for you", don't get me wrong.
    Just keep in mind that IrfanView is not chopped liver - it's Irfan's lifetime achievement, and he may well have a few unique tricks all his own up his sleeve.  In some parts of the software world a bright individual can still shine, even amongst the giants.
    At least you have a workaround:  Open it in Irfan View, Copy, File-New in Photoshop, Paste, Merge Down.

  • I am just trying to save a picture I cropped, it seems simple but there is no way I can find to save the new cropped photo

    i am just trying to save a cropped photo in aperture, can someone help here?

    i am just trying to save a cropped photo in aperture, can someone help here?
    MacBook Pro with Retina display
    How do you want to use the cropped version? Outside Aperture? Then use the menu command "File > Export > Version" and pick an Export preset and select a filname and destination folder.
    To use your cropped version in Mail or online use "File > Share".
    To use your cropped image version inside Aperture, no saving is necessary. Your edit will be applied without saving.

  • Trying to save a template in Logic??

    Hi all, I've been trying to save a new template and it's not happening. I've gone to 'Save as Template" but when I try to save this pops up 'please choose a location in the template folder or one of it's sub folders'. Ok so I go to Library>Application Support> Logic> Project Templates and press save...same message 'Please choose...). The other quirky thing is my old templates folder (my Templates) isn't in the project folder either, however the templates show up when I select new project in Logic. So the question is 1 do I have an alias templates  folder somewhere ( I haven't knowingly created one) and 2 how do I locate, I've tried typing the exact names of my templates in spotlight but to no avail. Many thanks

    Hi
    Templates saved by the user usually need to be in
    <User>:Library:Application Support:Logic:Project Templates
    It seems that Logic will not let you save templates into the 'Main' Library
    Note that in Lion, the User Library is hidden by default, so Spotlight will not necessarily find files in there. In the Finder, you can use the Go menu with Option to access the User Library. You can then add it to the Sidebar in the Finder window for future (easier) access. You could also make the User Library folder permanently unhidden using Terminal.

  • My illustrator CS5  crushing when trying to save

    My illustrator CS5 (used on Mac 10.7) started unexpectadly crushing when trying to save the files, what can i do to fix it, please?

    Zaneta,
    You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • IMovie unexpectedly quitting while trying to save...PLEASE HELP!

    I am saving it by going under share>expert settings and keeping the settings the same as they have been; I have saved many movies this way before.

    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
