Windows 7 - Can't Save File Anymore?

I started using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my new HP notebook computer. Everything works great except that Adobe Reader no longer has the "save file" or "save target as" options active. I used to save my Chase online credit card statements from the Chase website, but I no longer can do so. I wasn't sure what had happened, but it does appear to be Windows 7 because my wife's notebook had been 64-bit Windows Vista with no problems saving Adobe files. However, I recently upgraded her to Windows 7 and now Adobe doesn't save files anymore. How do I get this capability back? I need to be able to save Adobe files on my computer. Help!!!

I am running Vista with IE 8. tried the various combinations you have
suggested.
for me the only thing that worked on some sites but not all is to hold
down the control button while clicking to open the PDF file. That brings up
the menu bar. while the "save" function under "file" is there it doesn't do
anything. however, under pages (lower right section of menu bar) there is an
option to send the file via email. I did that, sent the file to myself
and could download it from the email attachment. cumbersome but worked.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for all website I have to download PDF
files from. still experimentiong.
I tried the hold down "alt key" and click on "title bar" but nothing
happened. perhaps I don't know what a titled bar is, I clicked all over the bars
at the top of the page, nothing

Well, I just tried on Windows 7, IE 8, protected mode on and could save
the file (though on a different bank's website).
While I'm not sure what's going on with the particular sites, one thing
worth trying is to click on the title bar of the IE window and press the Alt
key. This should show up the menu for IE. From there you could select Save.

I can't save files anymore after upgrading to iOS8. Do I have too many on my iPad?

I'm a heavy Photoshop Touch user, with the last version of the app and iOS 8 on an iPad Air, and lately I often can't save the files I've been working on: the app suddenly quits as soon as I try to save the often multilayered image, but also lighter photographs. If I restart the app, it doesn't help.
I have a lot of files in my PS Touch library. I don't know how many exactly, or how much the whole library weighs. I have plenty of space available on the iPad (42 GB free) however, so that's not the issue. I've been uploading files to the Creative Cloud lately, and deleting them afterwards from the PS Touch library on the iPad, but there are still hundreds of files in that library which were not uploaded to CC because I didn't yet have access, and which I therefore can't delete yet to make room.
Attempts to automatically sync all files to CC have failed. The app unexpectedly quits.
Uploads to CC of the files is possible in small groups —but extremely tedious, impossible in fact as there are too many files. I can't even scroll down the library very far without provoking a freeze of the app.
Furthermore, it doesn't look like I can extract the files through iTunes. I can't see the library of documents contained in PS Touch on iTunes. I subscribe to the Creative Suite on Creative Cloud, but that's of no help, I imagine. Except that I'd perhaps be able to open all the PSDX files in Photoshop cc if I was able to retrieve them.
Question: Assuming there is a memory problem, is there any way of extracting a large number of PS Touch files from the iPad to make room and clean the app up, so that I can work with it again?
Any other idea so that I don't lose all this work?

Hi Ignacio,
There were 1271 files in my PS Touch library. They were most often multilayered. I copied them to iTunes in batches of 20-50, then saved them to my Mac.
I initially tried quitting all other apps to liberate some RAM, but that didn't help. It must be a memory problem within the PS Touch app itself.

Upgraded to Acrobat Prp 9 and Windows 7, and I can't merge files anymore.

Hi, Upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows 7, and I can't merge files anymore. Acrobat Pro tries to save each file individually before it tries to combine the files. I actually get an error message with PDF files that are in my list of files to merge. Please help!

Did you do the updates to Acrobat? Now at 9.5.5.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

Can't save file with futura font?

Hi
I'm having a problem saving a file that contains the futura font. This is a font my company had to buy. I never had a problem with CS1 or CS2 using this font.
Once I place the font in the document it will let me save it once. After making changes and trying to save again I get a window that simply says "can't save file". I've tried unchecking the pdf compatible option and the compression option with no change.
I found one thread on this site about clearing out the font cache (by deleting the file C:\windows\system32\FNTCACHE.dat) and that didn't make a difference.
When I'm done with the document I'll be converting the text to outlines but I need a fix will I'm working on the doc.
Thoughts?

Mike,
Glad you got it sorted out. After I sent you back the regenerated fonts, I discovered something which I'm posting here for everyone's benefit.
Myle nailed it when he suggested an "an issue with font embedding." The fonts you sent me were all embedding-restricted. It's possible you could have saved your documents had you turned off the PDF compatibility option, but it's moot now.
It's doubtful the fonts I regenerated for you will solve the problem because putting them through my font editor did not remove the embedding restriction. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that your replacement fonts do not have embedding restriction.
To check for the embedding restriction, you don't need a fancy program. Just download this Windows extension from Microsoft and install it. Then, right-click | Properties on any font file will give you a lot more information about that font, including licensing/embedding restrictions.

Window users can't save my pictures i do sent by email

Hello,
Since i upgrade to OS X Lion Window users can't save photo's i do sent them by email. Before the upgrade it was never a problem.
They do receive the mail. When they open it they do see the photos but not as an attatchment. So no jp(e)g attachments...just the photo in the mail.
But whatever they do or try they just can't save the pictures i do mail them.
I also selected "Sent Windows used attatchemnt"....and all other things..nothing helps.
Who can help since i need to mail many pictures each day to window users.
I would really be thankfull.

It's a known issue with embedded images in Outlook.
It comes up with Mail on Lion cause Apple has decided to redesign Mail more close to the mail standards for better compatibility with the majority of mail applications.
Unfortunately Windows Outlook handle mail in a more proprietary way and not the way almost all other mail applications will do.
A workaround for Windows Outlook users is described in the knowledge base article behind the following link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917120
A workaround for Apple users is only to put the file in a compressed folder (e.g. ZIP) prior of attaching to the mail.

I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

I can't save files to my desktop. I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else. WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop. The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

Can we save file developed in captivate 4 to captivate version 3

Can we save file developed in captivate 4 to captivate version 3? If yes are there any issues?

Sorry, there is no backwards compatibility, you cannot save in format CP3 from CP4. Perhaps it is possible, if you have both CP3 and CP4 installed to copy slides from the CP4 to an blank CP3-file. As long as no new features of CP4 are present this could work.

Illustrator cc 2014 can't save files

Hi!
I Have a lot of problems with the Illustrator CC 2014. And it freaks me out. I have no idea how to reach Adobe. I've tried another Adobe forum but haven't heard anything.. I would appreciate some sort of help. Or if someone knows where to post the question?
1) First of all can't save files… I wish this could be the number one feature in a design app but apparently not..
I got "unknown error " and all work spent is gone forever. This happens a lot.
2) also lagging problems. when moving graphics and zooming in illustrator. it is SO stressful.
I have Two computers, with the same problems.

Nils Petter,
If no brighter suggestion comes up, you may try the list, see below.
Did you install fully on both computers (after upgrading the OS if relevant)?
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

In Windows how can I save a video just played by Flash Player?

In Windows how can I save a video just played by Flash Player?

This is what I ended up doing. I put the FLVPlayback inside a movieclip and put this on the first frame:
stop();
var vidTime:Number=0;
on the frame that the video plays on I have the video and a close button (which is a movieclip) and I put the following script:
if(vidTime>0)
    htMeasVid.seek(vidTime);
close_btn.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, seekCount);
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, closeBtnUp);
function seekCount(e:Event):void
     vidTime=htMeasVid.playheadTime;
function closeBtnUp(e:MouseEvent):void
    e.currentTarget.parent.play();
on the following frame I have this code:
close_btn.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, seekCount);
htMeasVid.stop();
and then on the last frame I have this:
gotoAndStop(2);
so that it doesn't reset the vidTime variable to 0.
Thanks again for the help.

IWork: Bought as an app but never got serial number so I can't save files??

iWork: Bought as an app but never got serial number so I can't save files??

This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

No, but before anyone can help you, you'll need to tell us what version of Photoshop you are using, and what your new update status is. Plus we need to know what your operating system is.
[edit]
Whoops. Just noticed that you mention CC, so I guess you are talking about 14.1. So what is your OS?

CS6 can not save files over 2GB???????

I need to make a giant poster at 6ft wide x 5 ft tall. I created a blank document in CS6 at 200ppi. I created some text, and imported a couple of 25MB images. I am unable to save the file as a .PSD because it indicates that PS can not save files over 2GB.
1. How did this file grow to become over 2GB?
2. Why can PS not save a .PSD over 2GB?
3. What do you do if you need to create a large format print such as this?
Thanks in advance.

Very true.
However, Jeff knows exactly what he's doing and he's very, very good at it. If your image were fortunate enough to end up being printed by Jeff Schewe, he'd be able to tell you exactly what kind of an image file he wants from you.
Always check with the printer.

Ready-only issue. Can't save files or highlight with Reader 11.7.1 & Kitkat 4.4.2 Samsung Tab 3

Hello,
I got several updates last weekend. Since then I can't save my pdf files properly. Before everything was fine.
When I want to open a pdf now - a prompt pops-up, saying this:
Read-only document
To modify this document save a copy on your device. The document will be available to other applications on this device.
I found another thread which describes the same error - but I already have 11.7.1 with 4.4.2 and it does not work.
Can't save files or highlight them on Reader 11.7.0 in Kitkat 4.4.2 Acer A1 Tablet

Are these files stored on your external SD card or your internal storage? Android KitKat has added restrictions for third party apps from modifying content on the external SD Card. You can find some more information here: KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood | Android Central
Could you please confirm if the issue exists for files on the SD card only?
Thanks,
