Unable to save mail error message

Have been using mail for a week or so without a glitch but over the past couple of days i keep getting an error pop up saying that UNABLE TO SAVE MAIL , problem is i haven't tried to save any mail, the most common time for this to happen is if i swuch screens to another application.
On mail I have my .MAC account and a IMAP account
Any ideas?
thanks

You're welcome.
You should consider turning Store draft messages on the server OFF, so that drafts are stored locally instead, unless you have a good reason to store them on the server.
Note that everytime you create a message (either new or reply), Mail automatically creates a draft to store it. If Mail wants to save the draft on the server and the server is temporary unavailable or doesn't respond for some reason, you may experience the behavior you've observed from time to time.

Can't save image, error message ???

Hi, I'm trying to save a pdf image in photoshop, as I always do, hitting command S, or going to file-save. I keep getting an error message saying "could not save "x" file because the file is already in use or was left open". Well duh, of course it's in use, I'm working on it.
Anybody know what's going on here? Am I missing something?
Thanks!!
Eric

Thank you! I'll give it a try!

Undeliverable mail - error message

When I try to send mail, I get an Undeliverable mail error message/response. I don't know if it makes a difference if I select the me.com or mac.com as my outgoing server. I also work at a university, but I don't think that should be a problem since this just surfaced today. I've posted some additional technical details below. Has anyone else experienced this problem recently?
Error message details:
SMTP module(domain mac.com) reports:
host smtp-mx2.mac.com says:
550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias
Reporting-MTA: dns; regor.[myuniversity].edu

First of all test the other mail host. Do nslookup on the mx record for the domain. Maybe also check it from somewhere else on the internet to make sure your dns server doesnt still have an old entry cached. Once you know dns is going to the right server, try to telnet to port 25 on that server to see if you can connect to the other mail server and get a header back. If you want you could go a step further and send a message via command line but not usually necessary.
If that server seems fine, look at your own mail server. Check dns, delivery to other addresses etc..

Couldn't Save File - Error Message

Recently after adding a few more pages and updating some existing pages on my site, I have been met with an error saying I cannot save my website using the save function of iWeb, I receive the "Couldn't Save File" error message, however it doesn't tell me what file can't be saved or what file might be missing. I am running verision 1.1.2. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Dear DOHCVTEC187:
I had that same error. iWeb would open with a "can't open file :unamed" error, and also would give me a "can't save" error. I searched on the discussions, and found a few things that might help.
First, save/backup your Domain. That is where iWeb saves all that cool web info. It should be located in:
<user>/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
I try to make a back up this when ever I make big changes anyways. Alway a good idea. Burn it to Disk, put it on another HD. Etc. Then delete the original, leaving the folder empty.
Second:
Trash iWeb preferences, located:
<user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
Now, use Disk utility to repair permissions. I do this as a helpful step.
Then restart.
After restarting, open up iWeb. Hopefully it opens with out the error, since we are starting from "scratch". It should ask for you to create a new page/ new site. ie, remaking a "domain". Make a singe page. Save and then quit iWeb. It should run smoothly.
Now, go find that "new" domain you just made, and replace it with your old one.
That should help.
Also, one thing that I found when this error happened to me was that I had built links to documents , such as PDF for people to download. Thus the error "couldn't open, unnamed" etc. It was because those links were "broken", so I had to find each link that I pointed to a PDF, and double check that it was still working and pointed to the correct file. Could be a pain in the but if you have alot of PDF's, etc, but it was worth it.
Hope this helps!

'cannot get mail' error message

Getting 'cannot get mail' error message for my hotmail on iphone and ipad, tried resetting account and passwords, not helping...any ideas??

My email started working -- on its own -- at 7 PM. That means that from 4 AM until 7 PM, I received no email.
However, I knew I missed some messages. It's now the NEXT MORNING and those missed messages still have NOT arrived. I has hoping they were in a queue or something and would still be arriving.
This is HORRIBLE. Gosh only knows what I missed beyond the few that a couple friends told me about.
If this happens one more time, I'll leave icloud.com's email. This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. In all the years of having had MobileMe prior to iCloud email, nothing like this ever happened.
SHAME ON APPLE.

Mail Error Message at Startup

"Unable to verify SSL server mail.nathanbudd.com "
This error message pops up every time I open Mail now. That was just the title, the full body is as follows:
Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "webmaillogin.com". The error was:
An SSL error occurred while trying to read data from the server "mail.nathanbudd.com". Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "mail.nathanbudd.com", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?
And then there are buttons for "show the certificate" "?" "cancel" and "continue"
What does this error message mean and how can I fix it?
P.S. This post already exists, but has not receive a first reply for at least two weeks, this is why I am posting it again.

Hi there,
What have you set the startup prefs set to? Is Logic mabe trying to open a template when you start it up which doesn't exist or is damaged? So check Logic->Preferences->Global->Start up menue->choose an option there or set it to "nothing"

Unable to Log In Error Message

Hi,
I created a repository file by using Oracle BI Administration Tool.
My NQSCONFIG file is like below:
[ REPOSITORY ]
Star = TEST_REPOSITORY.rpd, DEFAULT;
Then I stoped services and changed instanceconfig file like below for creating web catalog.
<CatalogPath>C:/OracleBIData/web/catalog/TEST_REPOSITORY</CatalogPath>
But when I try to login to Interactive dashboards, I am taking "Unable to Login Error Message".
I am sure that I am entering correct user name and password because of I was able to login Interactive Dashboards before creating repository. ( With Oracle BI's default repository file)
My regional settings are also English. What can I do?
Bye

Hi,
Are you able to open repository online and login to presentation services with out giving password?
Try opening repository online without giving any password(just give user name).Go to Manage->Security->On left pane click on users->Can see users on right pane->Click on Administrator user and give password you want.
Assign points if helped.

Photoshop AND Illustrator will not save- no error message

I am on a mac and I have CS5. There is no error message, but when I go to save the 'save' button is not clickable, only the cancel one. I have space on my computer so that is not it, I have gone through all the settings and I have seen nothing that seems out of place.
Thanks!

Often if I update iTunes, i need to reaccept the terms etc when i reopen it.
If you have other programs open, you often cant get this "terms acceptance" screen to come up.
I suggest closing all open open programs and then trying.

Hi,
I am need of help! I have had this issue for a while now and it's becoming frustrating.
My iTunes installed on my HP Windows 8 Netbook is unable to recognize my iPod, the error message along the lines of "iTunes has detected an iPod but unable to recognise"
I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this??
Someone please help me fix this problem.
Many thanks.

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

Unable to create volume - error message when exporting

Hello - relatively new Mac and iphoto user here.
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over. What's going on? I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
I would move them to my external hard drive but I'm having trouble with it too. It won't even show up. When I run a disk utility on it it says it can't be verified. Sigh. So that's a whole other issue that will probably take something like Disk Warrior to clean up.
In the meantime, I'm trying to move images to the thumb drive then I'm putting the thumb drive in my other computer and moving the images from the thumb drive to it's external hard drive A long process when you can only move about 20 images at a time from iphoto.
I'm just trying to move a good bit of old photos out of iphoto on the Mace because I'm scared that the program or even my entire computer is going to crash and I'm going to have data loss.
What can I do about the "unable to create volume" message? And what's with the "file in use" error message when I try to move the images off a file folder on the desktop.
Is there a better way to move 1GB of photos all at once to the thumb drive?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems to be two issues complicating things here:
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over.
What format is that wee drive? Mostly there are FAT16 or FAT 32 and there is a limit to the number of objects they can have on the root of the drive. The workaround is to export to a Folder on the desktop and copy that over.
Which brings us to:
I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
You will sometimes get this message when you try to export two files +with the same name+ to a Folder. As you know your camera is well capable of producing many files called something like DSC_1234.jpeg. In iPhoto these will be in separate folders, so no problem. However, when you go to export them to the Folder on the desktop if iPhoto continues the export one will overwrite the error.
Solution: Give the Pics a title (Photos -> Batch Change) and a sequential number. Then when you export, in the export dialogue you have the option to use the Title as filename.

"Unable to check out" error message in CS4

I have InDesign CS4, but do not have InCopy. When I exported an InDesign CS4 file to CS3 interchange format, and then tried to edit the orginal file, I got an error message saying: "Unable to check out this file. It may be in use by someone else." From reading the documentation, it appears that I inadvertently engaged a feature of InCopy, but when I go to the Edit->InCopy menu, the option to check the file back in is greyed out. How do I check the file back in so that I can edit it?

I've just experienced the same error message in CS4. I got rid of it by going to the Links panel, selecting all the links to Incopy, and Unlinking.

Cannot open links in Mail--error message "IMDontAskAgainBigNoCancel.nib"

All of a sudden, I get the following error message when I try and open a link sent to me in Mac Mail---"IMDontAskAgainBigNoCancel.NIB". I downloaded Thunderbird thinking that it was a Mac Mail problem, but the same thing is happening. The error message says that it cannot open "Dutch 1proj". I have deleted all Dutch from my hard drive but the same error message still appears.
The mail opens fine---it is just when you click the link that this happens. Any advice?

You appear to have deleted or otherwise messed with some system files and aren’t providing all the relevant information here.
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described in the following article:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, try reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using (which you haven’t provided either, but I’ll assume it’s Mac OS X 10.3.9), unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
You may also have to reinstall the following Security Update, which includes most of the security updates released after Mac OS X 10.3.9:
Security Update 2007-008 (10.3.9 Client)
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
