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.

    Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    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.

    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.

  • The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - tried the trust standards...

    2013 standard sharepoint server.  Content DBs were on a Trial enterprise server and copied over to standard server. All was good on trial server.
    there are 8 sites on server, 2 of the sites cannot create or edit items, they get "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
    googling around i tried everything. restarted search host controller, checked ram usage (8gb free), manage content types, iisresets, edit the web.config file ( add things for ram, search host, etc), no alternate access mappings, .net HTTP activation, rebooted
    server... I'm sure i missed some.
    The server is new install, all but the August HF CUs. Trial server the content DBs came from is at same level.
    It is not a server level issue as the other 6 sites are fine. its something with just 2 sites.
    kinda stuck here...
    Thanks,

    With the USL Logs were hard to track down what was happening, though I think it was too do with /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery.
    I did the Enable/Disable Anonymous Access on the Directory with no luck.
    Brought up Fiddler and Saw that I was getting 401 and 500 Errors on
    GET http://team.intranet.eandm.com/it/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery HTTP/1.1
    So it had something to do with Permissions. I checked the Authentication and the sites that worked had Forms Auth Enabled, and the ones that didn't, didn't have forms Auth enabled.  Enabling it manually was no go.
    I then went though the web.config on the working and non-working sites and there were some differences.   The Authentication was Forms on the working site, Windows on the nonworking. There was many things not present. httpModules section was missing,
    Many of the Microsoft Identity /Authentication lines etc. 
    So I Basically took the web.config from the working site and copied it to the non-working site preserving the following line from the original web.config:
    <machineKey validationKey="{key}" decryptionKey="{key}" validation="{hash}" />
    After that I had Security Issues, Though I think this was Caused by the July 2014 CU making everything use the Microsoft Identity parts, where as the server I was porting form had the sites created before the July 2014 CU. (though both were at the same level)
    Even though all of the users were present in the site security, I had to Drop and re-add them to every site/and list with special Perms. 
    With the Security Fixed, I no longer received the Error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
    Knock on wood its all functioning fine. 

  • Error:- The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.

    Hi,
    I have SP 2013 intranet sites. 
    I am trying to edit the list item in site and getting the error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I read many article on this forum. to chck web.config file, to restart
    “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” But no help.
    Still i am getting this. what could be the reason now.
    Please provide the resolution. I am trying to resolve this from last two days. 
    Thanks,

    Normally, there's something wrong with the form responsible for editing list items. Is it customized? If not, you could use the free SharePoint Designer tool to delete the current form, create a new one (wait some time before caching issues are solved)
    and you should be good to go. If it is customized, contact the team responsible for managing it.

  • The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

    Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
    response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
    If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
    server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
    memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
    This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
    There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

    One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
    Please try again."
    This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
    of "Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
    I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
    permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

  • Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

    I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
    "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I tried restarting "search service host controller".
    The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
    I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
    How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

    Hi robikshrestha,
    This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
    in your situation?
    Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
    log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
    If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.

  • HP officejet pro 8600 unable to save file

    thank you for reading this and helping.
    I have an HP officiate pro 8600 printer/scanner.  I was able to scan and save files to the mac from the network.  Now since the Yosemite and server  upgrade, i am not able to do this.  I have reprobagated rights, created a new share, new user and still am unable to safe a scanned file.
    the error I get is:  Incorrect credentials. 
    Anyone also have this?  What is fix?
    Thank you

    I finally solved it.  Reflecting back on previous message boards I decided to try one last time.  Some posters have found the problem in the Antivirus, Firewall protections.  (By the way, I had even upgraded my router with no luck).I have Norton AntiVirus provided by the cable company.1. I turned off everything in the firewall.  Although this left me vulnerable for a few mintues, I needed a fast test.2. It worked!  I was able to print something immediately.3. I went back into the firewall, turned everything back on but turned off an individual switch within the firewall that said to "share the printer. "4. After turning it off, I was able to print and still have the most important parts of the firewall.This ultimately met my needs.Perhaps HP could:1. Do a better job at beta testing prior to release, including various brands of firewalls.  Is there even a beta test process?2. Provide a better description of the error since all indicators within the drivers say the printer is connected.  There should be a message indicating that it's connected but unable to print due to firewall protections.  

  • Unable to save files

    I have a WIndows 7 64bit machine with Office 2010 std 32 bit. When a user tries to save a file to a 2003 server I get the error message document not saved. I see a 0kb .TMP file created and left there. The person can create and delete files there no problem
    but they can never save files there. I have tried reinstalling everything including the OS. I have tried downgrading to Office 2007 and I still get the same results. They are able to save to this folder using Windows XP and Office 2007. I am a domain admin
    and I am not having any problems saving files in any of the configurations.

    Hi,
    Please first check the permission of the profile to that folder.
    If you are sure that the permission has been assigned correctly, then it might be an issue for Windows 7 and Server 2003 compatibility. Please try to install any updates that available to both operation systems.
    If your server is Windows Small Business Server 2003, then please try to install below update:

  • Unable to save files as pdf with CS5 AI

    What do I need to do to be able to once again save files as pdf with out freezing up AI

    are you using a MAC or a Windows machine??
    there is no other place to set your PDF exports--(there are workarounds-but that doesn't solve the base problem)  there should just be a choice in a drop down menu when you do a 'save as' and the PDF options window should open when you choose Adobe PDF
    you should 'consider' reinstalling Illustrator as it seems that you've somehow lost your presets for PDF--BUT--
    first--need to know what OS you're running--if you recently updated a 'MAC' (to Mavericks 10.9.x) that could be the problem and I don't know if CS5 is problematic with Mavericks--IF you're using a Windows machine--a reinstall may prove to be the solution.
    let me know what OS you're running...OK?
    this window 'should' get to this other window

  • Unable to save files via WebDAV into portal

    My Windows Explorer client is running on a windows 2000 environment.
    We have set up webDAV to be able to save files directly in to portal from Windows Explorer. I cannot get this to work.
    I have a connection and can browse all pages in portal via Win Explorer, and also open files and save them back. I can also drag and drop files into portal from other folders on our file server. When I try to save directly though from word or when downloading from other server directly into portal, I get error message: "You cannot save into the folder specified. Please choose another location."
    Thankful for help.

    What version are you on? In 9.0.2.6, more detailed error messages are written to the WebDAV user's personal page (if one exists). Look there to see what the problem is.
    If you're using 9.0.2, I recommend upgrading to 9.0.2.6 (or 9.0.4 when available). The WebDAV feature in particular is much more stable in that release.
    Upgrade information is at http://portalcenter.oracle.com/upgrades.

  • 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)

Maybe you are looking for
