Won't save in classic mode

I have a G3 iBook with OS 10.3.9 and OS 9 that runs in Classic mode. My applications that use classic won't save to disk. I get a message that says "File saving not allowed in that area". I bought the computer used so I don't know how it was set up. What do I need to do to get saving permission in classic mode?

Thanks for the tip.
I did run the utility and the log showed errors found and repaired. I ran it a second time and no errors found. I started up Excel, which runs on classic on my machine, and tried to save to the desktop. I got the same "Saving in this area not allowed" message. I bought an external disk by Lacie to use as a backup and I can't even save directly to that disk when running an application in Classic mode. I can save a file to disc in Texteditor, then open it in Word and save the file in Word, but I can't save a new file created in Word.

Documents won't print in Classic mode

My machine is running OS 10.3.9. I have two programs on this machine that require classic to run and I can't print from either program. I get a Laserwriter 8 error -5751. I have used these same two programs on OS 10.2.8 and they print with no problem. I have tried printing to an HP LaserJet 4200 and a HP Color LaserJet 4500. I have updated my printer driver and re-installed Laserwriter 8. Does anyone have any ideas?

This may or may not be your problem,but
It depends on how you are set up.
I have the printer set up utility for OS9 in Classic
And I also have the same in OSX.
I have an older HP that I downloaded from the disk to OS9 and the exact same in OSX.
Be sure that when you download any updates or upgrades from HP's site they are in the correct Operating Systems folders, for the printer to work in both..
OS9 or Classic drivers and setup will not work in OSX. Likewise the same is true of OSX to Classic or OS9.. Sometimes it can get a little silly but you can make it work...Don

My iPod classic won't go into disk mode

I have an iPod Classic (120GB) here. When I turn it on, it gives me a screen with the Apple logo first and after a few seconds a screen with a red circle, a cross in the circle and the text: www.apple.com/support/ipod . I followed all the steps on that page, however my iPod won't go into disk mode. The iPod is not seen by my iMac and iTunes. What to do?

Logic Pro 9 won't save, hangs and quits??

I have just installed the latest software Logic Pro 9 with the latest update.
It won't save it hangs and quits??

First of all, you are still in Learn Mode, as the button on the bottom right is still darkened. Click it so it becomes lighter, meaning learn mode is no longer active. Then proceed to delete all the assignments, in your screenshot I can see the top message is assigned to A#1 (look at the "input Message" values on the right). But the rest of the assignments do not look like you conciously made them, it's a bit of a mess. You should be aware that cmd-L opens the CA-window, and engages Learn Mode, meaning that whatever is the very first MIDI message you send will be "learnt" as a controller assignment, and it will no longer be availbale as regular MIDI. That's how notes can "disappear" if you're unaware of this function. To open the CA window without engaging Learn Mode, use cmd-K.
(and clicking on the smaller picture will present the full size picture, no need to add that extra link.)

Classic Mode Infected with SevenDust

I need some help here...
Classic mode is infected with SevenDust aka 666 virus. I can't boot with Norton Anti Virus because I have a new iBook and need OS 9 for that, which it won't boot into.
Should I remove the OS 9 system folder and run Norton from CD after putting a new system folder on? I know this pretty much requires system reinstall.
Also, can this affect OS X files at all if it does strike? And what about my disk images? Can I disinfect them with Norton? Perhaps put them on my memory stick and disinfect them on an OS 9 machine that has Norton running on it?
iBook G4 12" 1.2GHz, iBook G3 Tangerine...and a ton of oldies but goodies including "the lab"--5 Classics, an SE, and a IIci Mac OS X (10.4.6) System 6.0.8 used on older computers

Hi, MacPlus512.
If your iBook G3 is running Tiger, then get a copy of Norton AntiVirus 10 for Macintosh (the Tiger-compatible version of NAV), install it on the iBook G3, connect your iBook G4 to the iBook G3 (G4 as the target computer) in FireWire Target Disk Mode, then have NAV scan the iBook G4's entire drive. Likewise, scan the iBook G3's entire drive.
Do not move around potentially infected files. NAV will scan disk images.
There are several variants of SevenDust. See this Symantec document.
Good luck!

Direct material procurement in PDP scenario for classic mode

Dear Gurus,
We have configured classic scenario in our SRM 7.01 with backend system ECC 6.0 Enhpk 5. We have PDP scenario for direct material as one of the requirement. The requirement generated in MRP in the ECC backend system will be sent to SRM SOCO for sourcing. Once the right source of supply is found, the follow-on purchase order needs to be created in the ECC backend system in direct material mode.
However, the SAP SRM standard supports only indirect material procurement in PDP scneario for classic mode. How to enable the direct material procurement? Could you suggest any BAdi to be used here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hello,
You need to activate the Bsdi 'ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST' for transferring the purchase requisitions from ERP to SAP SRM.
Some details about the method involved for the same are mentioned below :
Mehtod : IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~ACTIVE
->when parameter CV_AUT_SOURCING is set to true, external sourcing (e.g. SRM system) is active in ERP system
->when parameter CV_EXT_RFX_IND is set to true, RFx can be created out of PR directly from ERP system using application CPPR
->when parameter CV_EXT_SC_IND is set to true, PR in ERP system will be transferred to SRM using application CPPR
Method b. IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE
Here you need to maintain the logic / condition for which PR has to be transfered to SOCO.
Example
IF ( is_req_item-ekgrp = 'SRM' AND is_req_item-matkl = '100' )
cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
ENDIF.
When this BADI is active whenever you save a PR with say the purchasing group as SRM and material group is 100 (as per sample code above), system automatically triggers the PR transfer from ERP to SRM by xml's.
Best Regards,
Rahul

G4 hangs when opening or saving Word 2001 files in Classic mode.

Hello, everyone. I have a G4 400 MHz AGP Graphics ("Sawtooth") model with Microsoft Word 2001 that runs in Classic mode. Recently, when I have tried to open files, the symbol that looks like a tiny clock face with a spinning hand appears, but nothing else happens. This occurs before a dialog window appears prompting for the selection of a file from a particular folder. I can create a new file and type text, but when I try to save the file, the tiny clock face also appears, but nothing else. This also occurs before a dialog window appears prompting for the name of a file and for the selection of a folder in which to save. I can successfully open files in Microsoft Excel 2001 in Classic mode. I did not test PowerPoint 2001.
I'm wondering if the default folder where Word 2001 is trying to open and save files has so many files in it that this G4 isn't able to handle the resultant load. Has anyone encountered something similar?
Also, I'm wondering if I should try to reinstall Word 2001. Does anyone have any ideas in that regard?
Thank you.
-John

Hi John,
Have you tried changing the save location in Word's Preferences?
Might look into NeoOffice...
http://www.neooffice.org/
Or Open Office...
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/index.html
I think they both have older 10.4 versions that can handle Word & Excel docs.

QT Pro won't save

HI QT Pro won't save any video from the internet also Safari won't open the web site Panoramio.com, I think it may be some thing to do with the last upgrade to my system I am now running OS 10.4.10?
George

No joy for me either, since you didn't answer my last question.
If I don't know what you have tried to verify that your OS & file system are in good shape, I can't help you.
FWIW, my OS started acting weird a couple of days ago. Not with your problem but with assorted little oddities. I began to realize something wasn't right so I ran the "Verify Disk" check in Disk Utilities. Sure enough, there was some minor damage it found. I could have attributed this to an update performed about the same time, but then I remembered the power failed briefly at about the same time, while the Mac was in sleep mode. Although it has never happened to me before, this is a known cause of file system corruption.
Repairing it ended my problems.

After AW 6.0 update to 6.2.9 won't Save files

After updating Apple Works 6.0 to 6.2.9, the updated program will not allow me to save any files. After choosing my Macintosh HD as the "save to" location, I am unable to Save. Instead, a small wndow appears stating "Cannot find volume." I had previously been running AW 6.2.9 for a long time, but had to reformat my HD recently and re-loaded AW 6.0, then tried my 6.2.9 update when this problem surfaced. I tried UNINSTALLING these and re-installing several times, but I always have the same problem now. I also have to force quit AW most of the time. However, the OS9 version runs fine and saves fine, no problems with it. Help!!

Thanks Peggy for your prompt suggestions. I went ahead and used Disk Warrier to rebuild my HD. I also used Disk Utility to repair Permissions. I also trashed preferences from AW for both systems 9 and 10. Same problems! I re-installed AW from the beginning. Same problems! I also find I cannot open any of my AW files directely- a dialog says "file is locked or in use" and "open a copy." When I open a copy, it still won't Save! I went to Get Info- all my AW files have "read only" and the owner is "unknown." I clicked the locked padlock on unknown, unlocked it, reset it to my normal owner name for the computer, changed the file to "read and write" and clicked "open all files with this application" also. It will the open that one file without asking me to open a copy. But still won't Save. And all my other AW files are still set to "unknown" and are still padlocked in the "read only" mode. What the heck do you think happened here? This was after I had the Apple Store help me to reformat a copy of my HD because it had frozen one day and couldn't be retrieved with Disk Utility or Disk Warrier. They couldn't tell me why this had happened. All of my other applications are just fine. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Mark Schubert, Phoenix, AZ

I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox with no success. Example of two websites I am having problem saving password for are Myspace and AOL. Can is there something I am missing to make this work?

Won't save bookmarks

safari 10.6.6 won't save bookmarks. had this problem before upgrading to the snow leopard. any suggestions? i looked at other posts and they were either unanswered or different operating systems.

Please boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at startup. Log into your account and try again. If you still can't save bookmarks in Safari, you'll need to reinstall the OS. If you can save bookmarks in safe mode, then some third-party software you installed is interfering with Safari.

Address book won't save changes to note field

Like the header says. Address book won't save changes to note field. There's another thread with the same header: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2591053?threadID=2591053 But it's archived so I had to post this new one.
If I made a change in any non-note field however, it would stay.
Note: the notes field can be edited with actually having to go into official "edit" mode. Does this make it more prone to corruption? Why would Apple make the notes field NOT need that extra step of protection. Do they think my notes aren't as important? How would they know?
I fixed this one card with a bandaid solution by exporting it and reimporting it. But I guess I need to do that with all 2,000 of my contacts now. It was mentioned on theother thread that somebody made an address book backup and then deleted every contact in the address book and imported them fresh from the backup and that worked.
The underlyilng issue is still not solved though. How could this happpen in the first place, and how do I know what other contacts haven't held lthe changes I thought I made?

Hi,
Using the Note field
You can add notes to any contact in Address Book. This makes it easy to keep track of details about a person in your address book.
Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card.
The Note field can be edited at any time, even if the card is not in edit mode.
You could make a dedicated field that requires the edit button...
Using custom labels
You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.
Select the contact that you want to change.
Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
Enter a new label for the field.
The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.
If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.

Updated to Mountain Lion, Macbook Pro Won't save any app preferences

My wife has a 2009 Macbook Pro. We recently upgraded it to Moutain Lion, and now we are having quite a few issues. Additionally, we upgraded to MS Office 2011 from 2008. Anytime we open most applications, no preferences have saved, and it goes through the process of opening the application for the first time. For example, the only way to open a word document (previously created in 2008) is to open Word 2011, go through the registration process where it tells us the product is already registered, then it opens a blank document. Once the blank document is open, you can click on the saved document again, then it will open. If you close the application, you have to go through this process all over again. This same thing happens for all products in the MS suite.
Additionally, firefox will not work at all. whenever I click on it, the icon just pops up and down and nothing happens. Their troubleshooting is telling us to create a user profile (which I have) under he application support folder, but the folder is gone after the update. Additionally, deleting and re-installing the application has not solved the problem. Additionally, Safari won't save any preferences.
Also, she is the only user account on the computer.
Any help would be great!

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Suddenly unable to print, or access Classic mode

Cannot print from any applications, and the error messages are absolutely no help.
"Unable to print"
"Cannot print document"
"Cannot print illustration"
and Classic mode won't open up.
Not sure how this happened, I didn't change any settings.

"The first is to repair 9 permissions in Panther's Disk utility"
This solutions worked a treat for me!
I'm so pleased you posted these easy-to-get-my-head-around solutions.
as i said, i first verrified the permissions, then i repaired the permissions.
I did both of these right from the disk utility. now starting up os classic works properly, and printing to both machies, over usb and ethernet works fine. i needed to re-add the ethernet prnter and do a small amount of finagleing to get the drivers to match, but that was not too difficult. the USB part was easy of course, because it's the only item attached using that cable; and there was no real networking to be concerned with.
honky, do try the suggestions posted, because they really were quite painless. and after days of panicking, they are a welcome resolution.
thanks again carl!
