Unable to save new file as tiff

Every time I try to save a new file I have created as a tiff file to my desktop, I get a dialog box for 'Save Adobe PDF' instead.
Mac OS X 10.7.3

Thank you. I appreciate the response even though it now brings up a real issue for me with regard to testing this beta version.
I wish I had known about installing plug-ins here... I thought I could copy them, my bad, but now that I have them all copied, shortcuts and Wacom tablet preferences updated, find that they all work until I try to save a file as a tiff, I am faced with having to do all that again which is most aggrevating. I think I recall "Panels" being the only folder in the fresh install Plugins folder of CS6b but would like to confirm that so I don't remove anything that would cause me to have to re-install the entire beta version???
TIA

Help!! - "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."

New OJ6830, latest HP software installed on Win7 64 bit.
HP Scan scans and displays the scanned pages. But, when I try to save the file as a pdf or tiff, I get the following error message:
"The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."
BTW, I have tried running the app as Administrator and have disabled my antivirus software.
Why won't the HP scan app save the file? Has anyone else seen this error message?
Is there anything else I can do, or this this just a major bug in HP scan software?

Mike,
One Idea:
Make sure you have "San Preview" checked else the software will not accept "specified location".
Reference:
Save Scan to Specified Location

SpaceFM Error - Error: Unable to save session file. Permission denied

Hi.
I have just installed linux-rt from AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51360
Everything installed correctly and is working so far.
It's just that whenever I'm with a folder open (even if I dont do anything) and click the X to close the window, this error appears:
SpaceFM Error
Error: Unable to save session file.
Do you want to exit without saving?
( Permission denied )
I usually click yes and nothing happens - or seems to.
If it helps, I AM able to read, write, copy and delete files.
The problem ( I THINK ) seems to be just aesthetics AND/OR not affecting me at the moment?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: In fact LOTS of issues just showed up...
1- Transmission doesn't resume downloads.
I closed it and opened again and there were no downloads and when I tried to start them again, there was an error saying: Unable to save resume file (or something close)
2- I just logged in (at the login screen, lol) as root and ALL problems disappeared, transmission saves things again, no more SpaceFM error etc.
Anyone has any clues what is this permissions problem ?? The whole OS is new and I didn't install anything, it wasn't supposed to be happening.

Just stumbled on this, dunno about your other problems, but as far as your spacefm problem, go to ~/.config and sudo rm -r spacefm

Recently updated Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and and can not open exisiting Illustrator5 files or save new files.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and can not open existing Illustrator5 files or save new files can someone help?

I think you have a corrupted upgrade. Do you have a backup of your old system?
Here's what you should do for now:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Unable to save indt files at all

Hi, I've looked through the forums but haven't found a solution that's worked or the quite the same problem as I have, so here it goes:
I have InDesign CS6 version 8.0.1 with Windows 7 64-bit however I have been unable to save .indt files sent to me from a couple different sources.
When opening the file I also get the warning message saying I'm missing the "LILO.InDesignPlugin" but the template still seems to open no problem.
However, when I click 'Save', 'Save As', or even 'Save a Copy' nothing happens. None of them are greyed out, but no window pops-up for me to save the file, even if I make changes.
I tried exporting the file as anything else but nothing works--I get the "Failed to export the PDF file" message every time.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks for the help!

When opening the file I also get the warning message saying I'm missing the "LILO.InDesignPlugin" but the template still seems to open no problem.
Your InDesign installation is clearly corrupt. Uninstall and reinstall.
It may be sufficient to rerun the installation without uninstalling, but it might not.

i have had this problem before and had to take my computer to the apl store were someone at the genius bar fixed it by deleting some preferences thing i do not remember how who did it or how he got to that file and need help to fix this problem

Try Finder>Library>Preferences>Microsoft>com.microsoft.word.prefs.plist, and delete that last one.
I don't know that it will solve your problem, but I'm pretty sure that's what the guy did before. Good luck!

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!
VJ

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

How does one save new files to an encrypted disk image?

I encrypted a particular folder, and used a sparse image to leave plenty of room, as well as using read/write permissions, but I don't see how to save new files to the encrypted folder.

So, I guess you have to save the file to the desktop and then drag it to the mounted disk?
No, you should be able to save directly to a mounted disk image via a dialogue box. There is no need for an intermediate step. As long as the encrypted disk image is mounted, it is open and appears to be just another folder.
As an experiment, open a Textedit document and save it to the mounted (open) disk image via Save As in Textedit. It should be able to do that.

"The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location. "

I can copy and print from my computer but when I try to save the scan I get an error message saying the HP app was unable to save the file to the specified location. I reloaded the cd and that did not help.

Hello jerlip, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you are having an issue when attempting to save a scan. I suggest that we try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If you see any error codes or messages, please let me know what they are. Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to research other options if needed. Cheers,

Unable to save edited files

Hello Group,
Has anyone experienced this problem?? We have had this
problem 2 times, and it seems related to after a Windows automatic
update as run. Platform is an HP laptop, running windows XP.
We have several *.cp files. We open one file, and delete an
audio track from a slide, and then attempt to save the edited file.
The edited file will not save. For some reason Captivate
still sees the "different" file name as the same name as previous
file. The edit is not saved. We even created a new folder on the
C:\ drive, and copy a file in, open it, or attempt to open an
edited file that somehow got saved, and then Captivate say "this
file is in a format that captivate does not recogize"
Has anyone else seen something like this?
captivate seems to work ok on my desktop pc, but not the
laptop??? Perhaps it is some sort of problem with the laptop
Thanks,
eholz1

I was wondering if either of you have had any luck nailing
down this problem. We are experiencing it on one of our laptops as
well and I have been baffled by it.
The laptop is a Dell with XP SP2, it was running Captivate
1.0.1 for a while and was upgrade to Captivate 2.0 without removing
Captivate 1. This configuration has worked for months, but suddenly
I can't save anything. If you hit save the hourglass pops up and
goes away with no error messages, but the * in the titlebar
indicating unsaved changes is still there and when I try to close
it asks to save. If I say no or cancel it acts properly, but if I
hit yes to save it, is just goes back to Captivate and doesn't
close or save. Save As will save a file, but it is usually corrupt
when I try to open it later, and the * still doesn't go away.
I have gone so far as to run ProcessMonitor from Sysinternals
but it doesn't show any errors. It doesn't even show that it is
trying to save it. If there are any patches or updates for
Captivate 2 I have been unable to find them on Adobe's site.

Unable to save Photoshop files in original folder: file disappears

Hi,
At random moments when I'm saving layered Photoshop CS5 files, a message pops up with the following text:
Could not save "\...\FileName..." because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
Well the strange thing is that I'm the administrator, the only user of this PC and even when I set/check the properties of the folder containing the files this continues to happen. What is even more disturbing is that I have to save my file as a new file in a new location and when I check the original file, it is no longer in it's original folder.
I save all my files to the local HD and I use an external device to backup my files. I regularly get notices on my backup device telling me that various files were deleted, but will be kept until I need the room. These are files which I did not delete, they are files which I'm still working on.
I'm having to save to the original job folder first, save to the desktop when I get the notice saying I can't save, and then save back into the original folder when I can't save on the desktop anymore because of the same error message. I sometimes get a similar Adobe error message which is basically along the same lines, but I haven't noted the exact text yet.
Recently I closed a file which I had saved and when I needed to return to it, it was nowhere on my computer. I'm very organised about file saving, so it's not a matter of saving files in the wrong place.
I no longer run my back up continuously while I'm working because while it's great to have the peace of mind that I'm regularly backed up, my files can get up to 2GB in size and I think the backup running at the same time is slowing Photoshop processes down, so I most often pause it until I take a break. On this occasion, I had been running it while working (smaller file) and so I was able to retrieve an earlier version from my backup which saved me from having to re-do the job completely. I didn't get this problem when I was using CS5 on Vista, it's been since I've been using Windows7 and my back up drive.
I only recall having had this problem with PSDs, but that could just be because these files can take up to ten hours to complete and there's a higher chance of getting an error message over a longer period of time.
It doesn't happen very often by there has been the very rare occasion where two versions of exactly the same file have been visible in the original job folder (same name on both files). To check if files are where they're supposed to be or if they seem to exhist, I have to close the job folder and re-open it.
I'll disconnect my back up drive while I'm working and see how it goes. It's not ideal, but probably worth a try.
I don't know if there's a connection, but occasionally windows randomly sticks a lock on zipped folders which I create, regardless of the permissions I apply to the upper level folder they sit in. I'm told by a friend that it won't affect other people accessing these zipped folders from other machines. I don't know if that's the case, I always change the zipped folder's permission to include 'Users' and that makes the lock disappear.
I will run this file disappearance thing by Microsoft, but I thought I'd run it buy you guys first in case you can shed any light on it.
Meanwhile here are my specs. If you have any suggestions on how I can boost my computer's performance for large format print work in Photoshop I'd be happy to know. It's not bad now, but faster is always more pleasant:
DELL XPS 730X
Total amount of system memory 6.00 GB RAM
System type 64-bit operating system
Number of processor cores 4
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz

Thank you,

A great first chapter Charlie. Can't wait for the rest of the book.
The only time I've had anything like this happen, was in a new build after hooking the drives from the old system, but the permissions really were screwed up, and it was a straight forward fix. Is the machine networked perhaps? The files open in another app? I expect you answered this already somewhere in your forum equivalent of War & Peace. ;-) The lads on the Premiere Pro hardware forum can be disparaging about Dell and HP machines, saying their proprietary hardware and software are inaccessible, so I wonder if it is something along those lines.
I’d definitely unhook the second drive as a starting point, or at least double/treble check its permissions.
The only other thing I can think of is changing the state of ‘Save as to original folder’ in Preferences > file handling, but this is all very tenuous and straw clutching.

Unable to save PDF files (sometimes?)

Hi All,
There are times when I'm working with Elements 6.0 that everything is working normally. I can play and adjust and save files to my little hearts desire. There are other times when I'll open a file, make my adjustments, save the file and when I go back to look at the saved file, there is no preview and I am unable to open it. The properties says it is not a PFD, just "1 File". Any clues as to why I am having this intermittent problem would be most appreciated. The picture you see here is from a file that Elements 6.0 says it does not recognize and there is no preview. But yet I can select it and preview it here. HELP!!!!
See attached....
Thank you

Unable to save Keynote file to Windows Shared Drive

Have recently installed Mavericks 10.9, and Keynote Version 6.0.1.
I am having difficulty saving any Keynote files to a Windows network Share. The network Share was added with domain credentials of the Windows Environment, so permissions are not the issue as far as the share is concerned.
When attempting to save any file, existing or new to the network Share, Keynote advises that there are not sufficient permissions to be able to save to this folder. If I copy and paste the item into the folder, it works as normal.
It looks to be an issue with Keynote saving with local Mac Credentials instead of Windows Credentials, however there are no issues saving other type of files to the network share, just Keynote.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is a known issue, as you are doing the work around is to save to the Mac and then transfer to the the share folder. Hopefully this may be sorted when Apple completes the series of updates we are expecting.

Unable to Save a file

I can not save or "Save as" under the same name, or any existing name. I get an error message about it being a read only file or some other user may have open (I am the only usre). I can only "save as" using a new file name.

Hi!
We have a couple of customers who is experiencing this same problem saving editable PDF-files from the file servers on site. Only possible way to save them is to save using a different file name which is quite disturbing. We've tried a GPO to disable "Protected Mode" which seemed to work for a while but not the errors is spreading throughout the organizations/offices.
They're all running Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 (except for a few computers who's still on 11.0.9 due to not being powered up for a while).
Would really appreciate some answer from officials about what could possibly be behind this.
