Unable to save a document to any device

I hate to cross post but not sure this fit peripherals.
My 12" Powerbook G4, OS 10.4, Microsoft Word, just announced that I have no memory remaining on my hard drive to save a document (54gb free, actually) and that I need to delete some files. Tried a floppy in an external drive, same problem; tried my iDisk account, same problem. No storage device could be saved to.
I emailed the documents to a friend from within Word to preserve them and restarted the machine. Problem disappeared. Documents emailed back to me, I'm fine BUT:
Why did this happen? Is the operating system corrupt? I couldn't find any other episode in the forum that was similar.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Memory doesn't always mean gigs. If your computer was on for a lenght of time and you were doing a lot of other things during that time, your computer's working memory can get filled up and is most likely what happened. I doubt anything is corrupt. Computers get silly sometimes.

Adobe flash error: unable to save the document please try to save it to a different file name

Hi,
I am editing few fla files with my Adobe Flash Professional. Suddenly it stopped saving them and is giving me an error; unable to save the document as... please try to save it to a different file name or to a different location.
i changed the location to save the files, but I still receive the same error.
Is there any one who knows how to deal with this error?
Thanks,

close flash. right click its icon or start program and click "run as administrator". save your fla.
if that fails: restart your computer, create a new directory on your desktop and save a test fla (eg, named test) to that new directory. any problem?

Unable to save a document after signing it in Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

I have a user who is unable to save .PDF files that he is opening in Outlook via an embedded link in the email.
When he clicks on the link, Acrobat opens the document without issue. However, when he applies his signature and goes to save it over the existing document on our internal network file server, he gets the following message: "The document could be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
The network drive has a significant amount of space available, at least 500 gigs.
This was not an issue up until Friday of last week. Prior to Friday, he had no issue signing documents emailed to him that contained a embedded link pointing back to the file on our internal network file server. If I have him browse directly to the file in Windows Explorer however, he can open sign the document and overwrite the existing copy. While that works, I would like him to regain the ability to save his file after opening it from his email; as unless I show him how to get to the file directly via Explorer, he is unable to do so. (And he has to sign many documents a day as well)
Other users on my network are not encountering this issue, however some are running a different mix of Office and Acrobat. (Such as Office 2010 and Acrobat X, etc)
I've researched this issue for prior versions of Acrobat and tried to applied the same resolutions for this issue without a positive result. So far I have been unable to find any solutions for this issue dealing with XI.
Has anyone else run ino this issue with Acrobat Standard XI? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you for any help that you can give me.
Here is the basic setup that his computer is running:
Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
Adobe Acrobat Standard XI
Internet Explorer 9
Also my user is has full Admin rights to his workstation and has the appropriate security rights to the folders he is trying to save the signed document to.

I would like to confirm the exact same message is happening with us.
Several users have been receiving the error message shown below when trying to save PDF’s to their desktop or other server.
We are experiencing the issue with earlier versions of Acrobat (8 & 9) as well.
This is only started happening this week?

Unable to save a document to another user group

This may be a basic configuration issue, but I have recently taken over the administration role for our BO 6.5 system, and have been unable to find a solution.
A user in a Prod Pwr group is trying to save a document to another Prod user group, where he is not a member. The only group that he can choose from is his own. Can this be done, or is this normal, even for Prod Pwr users? I appreciate any insights.

This is the correct behaviour...a user can "publish to" only to the group to which s/he belongs.
A user on the other hand can use the "send to user" fuctionality and send his document to a user in any other group as far as s/he knows the users login id.
Hope this helps !

Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment. Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
following message appears when you try to save the document:
This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out. The real issue is the
word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

Hi,
According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
on the new file server.
How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy?
Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.

Mandy

Unable to Save new documents in InDesign CS5

I just upgraded from CS3 toCS5. I'm able to open old InDesign files and save but am not able to save a new document in CS5. I'm also not able to Undo. Any suggestions? Hoping this is an easy fix.

Hi,
Try re-creating the preferences.
For windows Xp:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\ to the desktop.
Drag the "Caches" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0 to the desktop.
For Windows Vista:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\ to the desktop.
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\.
For MAC:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from Users/[user name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
If this dosen't work tried creating new user account with Admin rights.

I can't open a particular document on any device.

It just says "Document cannot be opened". I simply opened then closed the document on iPad then the problem arose. Any suggestions.

It's possible it's a bug, or it may be a limitation in the software if it's a specialized kind of PDF that Reader for iOS doesn't support.
In any case, posting a link to the file would provide the engineers with some information to help fix the problem.
Keep in mind that the software for mobile devices has been in development a much shorter time than software for computers (Reader for Windows or Macintosh).

Unable to send iMessage's on any device on network

I am unable to send iMessages on my network on all my apple devices. I have narrowed it down to being a problem with my airport extreme. My linksys router eliminate's the problem. i have tried everything from changing settings to a factory restore with no avail. I've recently added a slingbox, but i removed that and did a factory restore and it still didnt fix the problem. Its also not an issue with an apple id becuase i have multiple ids in my household and none of their iMessages will work. I can receive messages just fine. Any ideas?

When I send a pdf from my pc to ipad the pdf is already open when I scroll down the message so I am unable to save to the ibooks, any suggestions

When I send a pdf as an attachment from my windows pc to the ipad via outlook mail there are occasions when the pdf is open on the email and not as an attachment which means I cannot store this on ibooks, any suggestions.

If the document is already open then, if you touch and hold in the body of the document, you will be given a set of options. One of these is to "Open in iBooks".

Unable to save scanned documents to pictures or document folder

I just purchased a Mac Book Pro. I installed my Photosmart printer C8180. The wireless now works on it. Yesterday it scanned a document to pictures on the computer. It worked. Today I noticed the program will not let you choose pictures or documents until after it scans. Then I check the images folder and there is no scan. It will not scan the picture or document at all. There is no option like I had with windows to choose to save or move to folder. Was there an error when I installed the program? The operating system is actually called MAC OS X, 10.10.2.

It seems to be working fine now. I haven't done anything differently. Thanks for your reply and I will keep your information for reference.

Lion email unable to send using Fios on any device

Hi All
All of a sudden my ability to send email using my verizon account stopped... On both lap tops, ipads and macs... What's up???

So verizon says it not on their side...
Do we expect any less from out friendly neighborhood ISPs?
So the green dot is there next to the account in connection doctor? How many accounts are we talking about? Are all your devices going to the same email account?
I suppose it is possible for something on your end to be causing this but it would either have to be a single point all the devices are going through or else it would ba a chnage you made to all devices (or the account).
If you can take the iPad to a wifi hot spot and try getting your mail. See what happens.

Unable to save word documents

I am having trouble saving word documents. The warning says that I have too many applications open, but Word is the only one open. I have plenty of memory. Help!

This might be low disk space, what does Activity Monitor show for pageouts, ram, disk usage?
This is not the macbook pro forum.
what version of Office Word?

MS Word not able to save open documents/quitting unexpectedly

I've had the following problem more than a few times since I've had my iBook (just over a year): Sometimes when I have a Word document open that I'm working on I'll get one of two messages when I try to save the document. One says something to the effect that Word is unable to save the document because the "disk is full," or a message appears that says that Word can't save the document because too many "applications" or "documents" are open (I can't remember which one is specified). Then another box pops up that says something about "autorecovery" being postponed or unable to work. Finally - the icing on the cake - Word shuts down and a message about Word "quitting unexpectedly" comes up.
When this sequence occurs, anything that I've written since the last time I saved the document is gone. Lovely. Who cares that I just wrote the clearest articulation of my thoughts for the day, right? (I'm currently working on my dissertation, so this is VERY FRUSTRATING, to say the least.)
I have tons of space left on the hard drive, so I know that no "disk is full." Also, I find it hard to believe that having, say, two Word documents open along with DSS (an audio program for transcribing) is too much for the computer to handle at once. (I mean, if it were a PC, sure, I might be able to believe that this sort of thing could overload it and cause a hitch, but pleeease, with a Mac? Isn't that the whole reason I was sold on these fancy new-fangled machines?) Plus, this problem has also occurred when I have only one document open.
Just to add a little more info. to the puzzle, I already reinstalled MS Office again, thinking that perhaps it just wasn't properly installed the first time. No change. I've also asked a tech through Apple Care about it, and he guided me through checking my hard drive for any damage, etc. We found nothing out of the ordinary. Finally, a friend who has the exact same copy of MS Office on his desktop Mac has never had any problem with Word.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

as first step try creating new user in Accounts system preference, log in as new user and try running Office.
if it works that way, issue is with some preferences or cache files in the original user account.
if it does not work under new user, issue is system-wide with Office specific files or the OS.
