Unable to save files after editing, can I unlock an entire folder?

Hey,
I have never posted here before, and I have done some searching online but havent found an answer to my question...
I am editing images with CS3. I had saved some on my Mac and some on a PC and put them all together to edit on the Mac.
After I do some editing and try to save individual files it tells me that it is locked and I need to unlock the file in Finder. I get that...
But I have a TON of images to edit and I dont want to do it for 800+ individual images. Is there a way to unlock entire folders?
Also, did this happen because I combined Mac with PC? I had never done that before and was wondering if that is the cause?
Thanks very much for any help I can get.

Thanks for responding, I am fairly new to Macs, would I do that by going into system prefs? Where do I do that?

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane. If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing. Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit. When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use. If they save as a different name, it works. Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane. They don't use the preview pane. I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save. But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
use it without problems.

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

That's it really.

What do you do with source file after edit and export

Hi
i wounder what people do with the source file after edit, they are taking up a lot of space on my computer. I can hardly bring myself to delete them, but neither can i save them, beacuse of space on Hdd. have thought of, only export those clip you have used in your timeline, uncompressed?

If you don't need them at all, you can delete them. People usually store them in external drives if they need them.
have thought of, only export those clip you have used in your timeline, uncompressed?
Didn't really get this part. Do you mind explaining this?

How to sync two excel files, the content is the same in both files after edit.

I have two excel files, which are data and edit by multi users, how can I sync the master files to the copy files after edit?
Is this operation required VBA? marco?

Hi,
Your request could be done via VBA code. Here are two ideas.
One:
Syncing the data from master file to the copy file without opening copy file. Sample code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim cnn As Object, SQL$, s$
Select Case True
Case Target.Value = ""
s = "null"
Case IsDate(Target.Value)
s = "#" & Target.Value & "#"
Case IsNumeric(Target.Value)
s = Target.Value
Case Else
s = "'" & Target.Value & "'"
End Select
Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnn.Open "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;extended properties='excel 8.0;hdr=no';data source=" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\test folder\Book2.xls"
SQL = "update [Sheet1$" & Target.Address(0, 0) & ":" & Target.Address(0, 0) & "] set f1=" & s
cnn.Execute (SQL)
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
Two:
Saving the master file as copy file before closing. Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff194765.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
If you have any further question about coding, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

In System Prefereneces, when I am in Desktop and Screen Saver, I am unable to remove folders. I can click the "-" and the folder appears to be gone, but when I close and then reopen System Preferences, and open Desktop and Screen Saver, the folder reappears in the list.

I've seen one other report like yours, and I think the issue is caused by a bug, but I don't know what triggers it.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Ok this worked to solve the error.
Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.

Does MacOS recognize Windows directory structure? Can I move an entire folder (consisting of subfolders and files) from Windows to Mac?

Can I move an entire folder (consisting of subfolders and files) from Windows to Mac?

Mustafafromnc,
if you’re talking about a USB drive, then it will probably have an exFAT filesystem. Modern versions of OS X can read from and write to exFAT filesystems without problems, so you would be able to move Windows folders, subfolders, and files from an exFAT filesystem to an OS X filesystem.

I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop cs5, but they dont save properly after editing

I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop, but then after I have edited, i save as .raw, and open up the newly saved file and it just comes up as a grey messed up picture. What am I doing wrong?

I thought that it was preferrable to do editing on RAW files rather than TIFF for highest image quality.
Yes, it is preferable to do as much editing on the raw files as you can including global and local tone & color correction in Camera Raw...but there is a limit to the work you can do and sometimes you must go ahead and render the raw file into Photoshop for additional work. Then you'll be needing layers and other functionality that can't be done on a raw file. At that point you'll need to save as a TIFF or PSD. If you work in 16 bit and a large enough color space, the TIFF or PSDs will still be capable of the highest quality...as others have indicated, the Photoshop .raw file format ain't for photography per se.

How to edit and save a file ( after edit in CS6 in LR) to keep it in LR collection where it was?

I understood that I could select a file from a LR collection, start editing it in LR then pass it to CS6 (I chose the option to make a copy and keep the LR changes) , makes the changes in CS6 and save it from CS6 (Saved it as a PSD file) .Afterwards I can see 2 files (one being the original file,the other the PSD file saved in CS6 in the original folder of the file, which is fine ) but the file seems to have disappeared from the LR collection. I am new to LR.

When you edit in CS6, do you do a "Save" or "Save As..."? You need to do a Save and not a "Save As..." You also can't change the file type from whatever it was when Lightroom created the file.
Works for me when I do it that way.

When I try to save a document in Pages 9.5, a popup states "unable to open (file name)" How can this be fixed?

This is a very spiratic problem but it seems to occur when I am trying to save something very important. When I type the document, go to file, and click save, a popup comes up. I select the folder and name the file. That popup then disappears. Another popup appears stating that the file cannot be oppened. This is on Pages 9.5. It is the new Pages you can download from the App Store. I have already reinstalled it and am still haing the same problem. It has happened in Keynot once and a few times in Numbers. Is there any thing that can be done? Is anyone having this problem as well? I will upload a picture of the popup next time it happens. Thanks!

Suddenly unable to save files edited in camera raw

Mac Pro, 2 TB drive, 8 GB RAM, lots of empty HD space. Nikon D4 RAW files
After using camera RAW to process thousands of photos and saving in jpg with this equipment, suddenly I get a message in a window, "the file could not be saved". I haven't changed any settings. I can work around by opening in PS and saving. Emptied cache and didn't resolve issue.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Don

Also, I no longer get anything in "File Naming" after "Example:". I'm wondering if Camera RAW has beome corrupted,
Not sure if I can follow your workflow because you also have files in iPhoto and Image Capture which settings both are not compatible with each other as with Camera Raw.
But you have two options to use ACR, either in PS or in Bridge. Select a problem file and with right mouse click menu choose Open in Camera Raw, this opens the file in ACR using Bridge, the normal open command opens ACR in PS.
This to see if it happens in both applications. If not reset prefs for the problem application, if both then maybe manual reinstall ACR plug in.
But in all cases, can you provide more details about OS version and exact PS, Bridge and ACR version (the latter in PS, menu Photoshop, about plug in / camera raw)

Unable to save files permissions issue (this file is locked)

This is my first post here so thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
After creating a new secondary admin account I logged into it and wanted to access my documents folder on my main account so I added the new user as having "read and write" permissions for the folder and "applied to enclosed items". This worked however, when i logged back into my main account I am not UNABLE TO MAKE ANY SAVES TO ANY OF MY FILES IN THE DOCUMENTS FOLDER.
This is despite my user account having "read and write access" for the affected files.
Steps taken to solve issues:
1. Removed second account by deleting it through Sytem Prefs. STILL NOT WORKING
2. Applied "read and write" privalliges to the entire docuemnts folder and enclosed items for main admin account. STILL NOT WORKING
3. Used Disc Utilities to run a "repair permissions" on HD. STILL NOT WORKING.
4. Held Command R after restarting in "Repair Mode" - selected terminal and typed "reset password" - from that window I Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. STILL NOT WORKING!
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I know you can duplicate a file, resave it and it solves it but I have 1000's of files and this would take me weeks.
Many thanks in advance... Lion is 10.7.2 and still a nightmare :-(

When I first started using Oracle9i JDeveloper everything went ok. Then I changed the permissions on my local C: drive and when I saw this caused problems with my swap file I set them back to what they were. Now my problem is that I cannot continue to work on coding as I cannot now save anything in JDeveloper as it keeps saying I cannot save files and that I should check the permissions. Anyone know what my permissions should be ? I have granted uncle Tom Cobbley and all full everythng (CRUD) access to my local disk and this does not seem to have solved the problem. Any ideas ? Steven:
When you changed permissions back, did you propagate the change to subdir and files?
Also, using the explorer, select the file, bring up its properties, and check the 'Security' panel to see if it indeed allows all permissions to everyone.
Thanks.
