Why is it that, "The document "Untitled.numbers" could not be saved." ?

The new version of TextEdit (Version 1.7 (289.3)) can save files to our server shared folder (mini server, raid 1 array, 10.7.3) and save changes, Numbers can only save them the first time. After that
The document “Untitled.numbers” could not be saved.
Console errors like

Now save works, but wait for much disk grinding
This computer went from 10.6.8 and jumped to 10.7.3 and I had to split the RAID 1 array it started on to get the installation to restart and complete. Hints from the installer that some features would not be available (autorecover drive) didn't hit it would leave a folder crucial to operation of Apple's own software inaccessible.
The path does exist, Panda.
Why was that folder not accessible except to system? and hidden in the normally hidden /Users/X/Library for fun? with a nearly useless error?

As far as I know, the AutoSave feature as it is treated by iWork apps is unable to work on networks.
You must work on the local machine then copy the document to the network.
I guess that this annoying feature will strike until the delivery of the lond waited major upgrade.

The document "abc.numbers" could not be opened [Numbers 09]

I’m getting the document “abc.numbers” could not be opened message. I’ve seen this posted about Numbers ’08 but I’m getting this dreaded message with Numbers ’09.
I’ve unzipped the file and cannot find anything that looks out of the ordinary to me. The buildVersionHistory.plist looks fine, as does the index.xml and QuickLook folder. When I compare these to a new, empty numbers file I can’t see differences besides those expected.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

May you attach the beast to a mail and send them to my mailbox ?
Click my blue name to get my address.
I wiil try to discover what is wrong.
I guess that something is wrong in the index.xml file.
I received several documents with this kind of problem.
In some of them, the xml file was truncated, in others, it appeared as a 'correctly built' file but Numbers was unable to decipher it. One erroneous character is sufficient to render such a file unusable.
This is why I wrote many times : backup, backup, backup…
This means : keep consecutive copies as my backup script is able to build.

The document "navidad.numbers" could not be opened.

I created a document during december, and now I can't open it. It's really important, I need help here.

This might not help you at this point, but maybe if someone else comes along later, it will help them solve their problem.
I just had this exact same problem and from the looks of your document title, my fix might work for yours as well. I fixed the file by editing the index.xml file in the corrupted numbers file. Numbers '09 doesn't save documents as folders by default anymore, but you should be able to unzip them to folders using something like Unarchiver, 7zip, or a similar program (I used my default archive extraction program, which is called "The Unarchiver"). My problem was that I had put an obscure unicode character in the name of one of my tables. Look at the console output in Console.app and see if something similar doesn't show up. I just went into the text file, changed the offending characters to something from ASCII, and renamed the (unzipped) folder to have the .numbers extension, and the file openned without any issues.
Anyway, like I said, probably won't help at this point, but maybe it will help someone else later.

The document "x.pages" could not be saved. No such file or directory

I have a client machine that connects to an xserve/xraid that gets the error "The document 'thefilename.pages' could not be saved. No such file or directory" while attempting to save a file.
The file in question does exist on the server as does the directory. In fact the file was opened from the server for editing. It's the saving back to the server that is causing an issue.
The file can be saved to the desktop then copied back to the server, overwriting the old file but cannot be saved directly.
Adding to the odd behavior is that the issue is not consistent. However it appears to happen most often later in the work day.
I found a thread with a similar question but no answer and the thread was locked and could not be added to.
Any ideas for a fix?

I experience the same issue with iWorks Numbers when saving a locally worked-on file back to the network server. It only started happening after upgrading my local iMac to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.1)- the server is running on Leopard (10.5.?). I suspect the problem lies in this upgrade incompatibility. Apple are taking their time fixing it-still occurs with OS 10.6.4. Or are the saying I should upgrade the OS on the server as well?
(1) To check if there is an incompatibility, check if the file saved locally is in good health before moving it on the server.
(2) Here we are end-users like you so we can't respond to questions asked to Apple.
(3) I'm a bit surprised that you get corrupted files using a product which doesn't exist. There is no iWorks product. Apple never distribute such a product !

TextEdit: "The document 'filename.txt' could not be saved."

This error is occurring frequently, to the point of extreme frustration. I keep a plain text file open all day at work and use it to keep track of minor things like calls and notes. Routinely, when I go to save this file, it reports the error message in my title. It also reports this error message occassionally:
The document “filename.txt” could not be autosaved.
Originally, I thought that it might be Dropbox doing it (since the file was in Dropbox). So, I moved it to my desktop and set up a cron to copy that desktop file into Dropbox every 60 seconds. In other words, Dropbox should have absolutely no bearing on the desktop file.
Still, the error persists.
So, when this happens, I copy the file's text to my clipboard, quit TextEdit without saving, then restart TextEdit, paste the text back in, and save. Between 30 seconds and 30 minutes later, I have the same issue again. I have to do this more times a day than I can count.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ummmm. This document was made with a ready made template from inumbers. Really need to get the info out of it.
Thanks for any help in advance.

The problem is certainly not the template.
I never lost a line of datas with documents build from one of them.
If you have backups in time machine refusing to open, the problem seems serious.
I guess that Time Machine was already at work the last time you worked on the document.
If I am right, *_at least the late backup saved before the last opening must be readable._*

The Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive

I am trying to use bootcamp assistant to set up windows 7 on my 27" iMac (late 2013). I follow the instructions: select all the tasks in the 'select tasks' pane, then I choose the 32GB MS-DOS (FAT-32) flash drive that I am using and the windows 7 home premium image file and click continue. In the Task Status pane, it first formats the flash drive, copies the windows files and downloads windows support software. However every time that I have tried this, when the progress bar is about 2/3 of the way finished -- during the 'Downloading Windows Support Software' task -- an error pops up saying that 'The Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive' and brings me back to the task selection pane. Upon reading other articles, I have downloaded the latest bootcamp5.1.5621.zip file, but I don't know what to do with it. Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Adam

Just posting this for anyone else having this problem. I found that the problem was that I was using a USB 3.0 flash drive which is not natively supported by windows. So I think BCA was trying to prevent me from downloading all the files for no reason.

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

My FaceTime seemed not working and keep telling me The document "IMG_3054.JPG" could not be opened. FaceTime cannot open files in the "JPEG image" format. I clicked OK but it pop-up again. So that I can't turn off my computer at all.

When I tried to restart my computer, FaceTime will pop-up and a warning message The document “IMG_3054.JPG” could not be opened. FaceTime cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format. I tried to clike OK but this worning message keeping pop-up and I can not quit FaceTime. So that I can't turnoff or restart my computer.
Can someone help?

The next time that happens, try this keyboard shortcut.
Command + Option + Esc
That way you can "force quit" the Facetime App.

The document "SpeechSynthesisServer.app" could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete.

I just upgraded from Mac OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.8.
I logged into my account for the first time and had this error:
The document “SpeechSynthesisServer.app” could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete.
From what I've been able to find, the SpeechSynthesisServer.app has to do with the Text-to-speech recognition.
Initially, I was unable to get text-to-speech to work correctly. But after I reset the key command, it worked.
Is this something I should worry about?

I think this bug may hit people whose user accounts have gone through a few versions of OS X AND are going directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. In my case my user account started out with 10.2 - so it's picked up some cruft.
There are several items in my non-admin user Preferences:Users and Groups:User:Login Items that are not in my Admin account user including an item called SpeechSynthesisServer. It had a yellow warning triangle next to it and the data type was unrecognized.
I removed it from Login Items, logged out, logged in, and the bug was gone.
The LoginIn item is referencing a system app, that app is still present post upgrade:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A
/Frameworks/SpeechSynthesis.framework/Versions/A.
I suspect the app is still important. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING IN SYSTEM/LIBRARY. Just leave it alone
iTunesHelper was also on the one user's LoginItems and I removed it.
I think there are a couple of bugs with the Login Item migration from SL to ML. For example, a disk image I mounted showed with a yellow icon too. I removed it, added it back in, and it was fine.
Thanks jf. That's helpful.
I installed ML an hour or so ago, going from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2. Having read quite a few comments I decided to take my time over this.
ML downloaded fine. About half an hour maybe. Installed itself then my iMac was restarted and, hey-presto, I'm back in business with a new OS.
Bit worried that my iMac was now rather sluggish, but not overly so because some kind person had posted on the App store that his Mac speeded back up after he had restarted. This proved the case for me too.
Went through all the set up screen re iCloud and App store. All the while I noticed my external backup drive was very busy too. Must be using it as temporary space I thought to myself.
Anyway, I decided that the first thing I should do is run Software Update. I had several items that needed updating and whilst one of them was installing, that dreaded message that all you guys are talking about popped up. I took a screen shot for later.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11373233/MacDiscussions/SpeechSynth%202012-12-08%20at%2 016.05.39.png
Not long after this my iMac's sceen turned black. I assumed this was due to the screen saver cutting in. It had done so about every 5 minutes during the time ML was downloading - apparently without causing a problem. I left it a while, then fired up the screen again. Then I got a dreadful fright when a message came up full screen telling me my iMac had encountered a problem and it was having to restart!
I decided toplay it cool and let everything play through and let the Mac restart, see what happens. Turned out I was worrying unnecessaryily, all I needed to do was run Software Update again. I downloaded the items individually this time, not all in one go like before. All seems okay - at the moment.
I still don't know what this SpeechSynthesisServer.app problem is. Text to Speech still seems to work. I wonder if it has anything to do with the new Voice recognition that I'm itching to try out.
Anyway, I'm leaving Voice recog alone for now until I'm more familiear with ML.
"DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING IN SYSTEM/LIBRARY." I notice that the Library is now hidden from us. Maybe what you say is the reason why?
By the way, I think I worked out why my iMac was sluggish when I first fired up ML. Spotlight was rebuilding it's database!

The document "Blank.template" could not be opened. in Pages

I can not open any tempaltes in Pages from iWork on Macbook Pro.
When I open pages. I can then pick a template. when I click that or any of the templates I get
The document “Blank.template” could not be opened.
I am new to the Mac world and trying to set up for my son to do homework. So please bear with me if I ask a lot of questions.
I reloaded the software and still get the same reply. Any help to get it running would be a HUGE help.

Mitch,
See if you can run Pages successfully in another User account. If so, you have a corrupt PLIST file in the main user acount.
I have a hunch that this is your problem since reloading the software didn't solve the problem. But, I have to ask if you may have moved Pages.app from where the installer put it.

There are a lot of third party codecs for QT http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html
Most of them are "payware" with no guarantee they'll actually do what they claim. I spent hundreds back in the days before QT10 and eventuallty found that EVERYTHING those purchased codecs do... can be done for FREE with VLC media player.

Hey hi,
Remove the reference of your ViewController.xib from your project and try to add it again from your project folder. It may works for you.

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.
