Why won't pages save changes?

I have written a large (240 page document) in pages. It contains text and graphics. The problem is that when I edit and make changes, the changes do not get saved, even though Pages appears to be saving. This occurs even when I type Save As and then ask the program to replace the existing file. If I type an entirely new file name, the changes are saved. What gives!

Hello vwbus,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. Have a look at the document in a Finder window and do a "command"+"i" shortcut on it. In the second section of the appearing info window at the bottom there is a checkbox for "Protected". Is it checked? If yes, uncheck it. Or what do you see for the access privilegs at the bottom of the info window? Make sure you have the correct access privilegs for the file. To change the privilegs you need an admin password (if your account have no admin rights).

Why won't iTunes save changes to my music library?

It seems like every time I update my music library (i.e. add ratings and such), it resorts to the default the next day (i.e. ratings are lost and changes are restored). Can anyone explain why iTunes won't let me make changes in my music library?

It could be several things but we need fuller information. If I go into a doctor and just say I have a cough it could be an allergy, it could be dusty, it could be flu, it could be cancer... If I say it only happens when I work in a bakery that provides a clue. If I say I also have a fever that provides more information.
Is this only happening with purchases from the iTunes Store? Possibly something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
Something to try (post by turingtest2) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26454072#26454072
If the above doesn't work:
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26193185#26193185
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:

Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

I have checked
Why won't Mail save stationery?
but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

Why can't I save changes I made to a photo using the zoom feature?

why can't I save changes I made to photo that I use the zoom feature. I zoom in and set it the way I want but when I click done it reverts the photo back to it's original size.

When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.

Moved to tiger - now gui won't correct save changes to main.cf

one of my it guys setup a brand new box running tiger server and migrated all of the mailboxes over to it
the problem is that if for example I go into the gui and change the "always_bcc" address feature in the gui, it does'nt update it in the main.cf file
I've tried using a stock main.cf file and it still doesn't work
i tried deleting all of the custom stuff at the bottom of main.cf and resave from the gui and always_bcc is never saved in there even though there is a value for it in the gui
I had to go into main.cf.default and set the postfix default from always_bcc= nothing to contain the address i want it to go to
but the problem here is that I can't seem to trust the gui to save changes
I've tried repairing permissions, it still doesn't work
so now I can't trust the gui at all. what could possibly be causing this?

Steven,
At our school we have always relied on editing the main.cf manually and not 'trusting' Server Admin to make the correct changes.
Open a Terminal shell, sudo pico /private/etc/postfix/main.cf

Why won't iTunes save my customizations?

HELP! Every time I customize the info of my songs on iTunes, the next time I open up iTunes, all the edits I made change back. It is extremely annoying and it takes a while for me to fix all the things I want to fix.
My laptop died on me recently so I've switched to the family desktop. This iTunes memory swipe has never happened before to me and my sister who regularly used this computer before she got a laptop for Christmas told me iTunes never did this to her on this computer.
Is there a problem with my iTunes? Any way to save changes?

It's probably a Vista permissions problem.
Take _full control and ownership_ of your top-level music folder,and all its child/subfolders.
Having read & write permissions is often not enough for Vista.

Why won't movie save with changes in lighting?

Hi All,
I lighted a movie and I want to save it this way to play in all media (like regular QT). It seems I can save it and play the new 'lighter' version only in QT7 pro. Not in regular quicktime. How can I save it to be light forever and play in anything 'light'? Thanks!

You need to "Export" the file and make the adjustment using the "Filters" option in QuickTime Player Pro.
If you use the A/V Controls window they will only work for the "local" version and they can't be exported to a new file. This process makes an entirely new file with the settings you've added.
The "Filters" button is only available if you choose Export --> Movie to QuickTime Movie.

In the Options | Privacy | History setting, I have "Never Remember History" selected. If I change this and hit OK, then re-enter the option, my new settings are reset to "Never Remember History". Why won't it save my changes?

I am running on a clean install of Win7 64. FF Version 3.6.10.

Quote: ''If I change this and hit OK''
What do you change?
If you select "Never Remember History" then you enter Private Browsing mode:<br />
Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
To see all History settings, choose: Use custom settings for history
If all other history and cookie settings are the default then "Never Remember History" stays selected, otherwise "Use custom settings for history" is selected.

Why won't yosemite save a change of region?

I am running Yosemite, and it is up to date. I need to change the region.
I go to
Settings > Language & Region and then select the desired region.
I then press the back button (or the button with dots) and am taken back to the main settings window. When I select Language & Region again the system is on the old option and didn't store the new.
If I make a change to time format, then this is saved.
I was using the Australia"region, then customised it. The current region is showing as "Australia (Custom)". When I select "Americas" and then "America" then go back to the main settings window, the change to the American region is not saved and it goes back to "Australia (Custom)".
How do I get the change of region to store?
Thanks
John

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Why won't Mail save stationery?

I just did a clean install of 10.6, and Mail won't save custom stationery I try to create. It does create the Custom category and shows what I saved there, but the text I entered is missing - only my signature shows up. The message has several of Mail's bulleted lists, but that shouldn't cause a problem. There are no graphics at all in my stationery.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.

Hello
I have been using Lightroom since it was first created. I am a very experienced Lightroom user, and I just updated to version 5 with my new Canon Eos 5D Mk II (I have used every 5 series camera too).
THERE IS NO LINK AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. CS6 SAYS IT IS UP TO DATE, LIGHTROOM SAYS IT IS NOT.
LIGHTROOM SAYS THAT I NEED THAT FILE. I HAVE BEEN SELECTING ‘IGNORE’ OR RENDER WITH LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS DEPENDING ON THE COMPUTER THAT I AM ON.
What I don’t understand is why is lightroom saying that i need the plug-in for my camera, CS6 says my software is up to date, and mostly THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE I CAN SIMPLY DOWNLOAD THE PLUG-IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
I am mostly annoyed about the last part- there is no place to simply download the plugin- hence I am writing here, and from what I have read online I am not the only person with this complaint. When I get a moment I will try the link to download it, but as I mentioned, why is it not available as there is obviously a glitch here.
Obviously I am a very frustrated user because the software is not updating and your site does not have the download available so the problem can be simply fixed. I find it a little offensive that you would suggest that I have the problem, and that I don’t know how to use the software, when I am pointing out clearly that there is a software issue here. And trust me, i understand the difference in the options but the fact the plugin does not show up as an update in CS6 (where you say it will be and how it should be installed), is the real issue.

Why won't FIREFOX save my HISTORY settings of USE CUSTOM settings?!!!

This is very very annoying. I'm ready to throw this program down the bit bucket.
I use it to access facebook and play farmville. I need it to REMEMBER things so that every time I load farm ville it doesn't have to get stuff from their server..
Every time I open fire fox, and go to face book, and load farmville I get a message that says I can load faster if I allow it to store data on my Computer..
I go to firefox settings and find ONCE AGAIN my History preferences will NOT save "USE CUSTOM SETTINGS".
I have to change it every time. I have both 32 bit and 64 bit Nightly (beta) versions on my computer.
I have totally removed both, restarted windows 7, restarted it again, re-installed fire fox and it STILL happens...
Why? I will be darned if I will use explorer, but at least it SAVES the settings and doesn't get them screwed up!

''cor-el [[#answer-664256|said]]''
<blockquote>
Don't get confused:
If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default value (i.e. cookies are enabled).
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
"Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the default setting have been made.
</blockquote>
OK so I agree I was confused. What is confusing me even more is the number of times sites tell me I need to set my cookie settings to accept when as far as I can see it already is.

Why Won't iMovie save my progress?

Right now I'm working on a ridiculously simple project. No more than five minutes long, a couple clips, a cross fade or two, and then done. Why the **** isn't iMovie saving this progress? I make these changes, i can't manually click File-->Save, so of course I'm left to letting iMovie do this for me, but it doesn't . After these changes, I quit the program, come back later to work on something else, and it's all gone.
I don't know who in Apple thinks this was a good idea--not implementing a manual SAVE function--something that literally every media software ever developed has done since the beginning of their existence. Why I can't be allowed to tell this piece of crap program to save is beyond me, because having to rely on the program itself to supposedly automatically track its progress and save by itself is not working.

I keep opening up imovie to find the project I worked on 3 projects ago open in the editing panel, and none of my new stuff, including imports, visible. However, when I click "project library" all the recent projects are there with up to the minute edits. Not sure what's going on, but try clicking project library and see if your stuff is there.
