Ok. I’m not computer genius and I don’t know if anyone knows how to tell me in a simple way how to get rid of this but when I right click on a photo and attempt to save to my IPAD photos I get this message: Cannot save photo the file couldn’t be saved (NSCocoaErrorDomain512)
I have looked this up on Google and the answers to fix this problem are bewildering to me. Stuff about strings and document file.
Is there a way to fix this easily?
Btw this is on my IPAD. I do not have a smartphone.
🤪
It means the app you are using is doing something wrong. If it is Chrome, uninstall it and then reinstall from the App Store.
That’s too much trouble. Just pee on it and
throw it in the garbage can for weekly pickup.
Prob what I will have to do. Yep.
Says I’m up to date.
THEY DOI NOT CHARGE ANY MONEY, IVE USED THEN 24 HOURS!!!! GOOD LUCK.
Yeah I saw that but since all I do to grab a pic from the net is hold down my finger till the menu pops up and I choose save the pic then how am I possibly doing that at all? I am not doing any ‘creating of a file path’ that I know of.
If Steve Jobs says anything to you about your IPAD you need to either start or stop takin drugs.
Ok. I looked up iOS. Stands for iPhone operating system. Only this is an IPad so, that’s confusing, I’m guessing it works on their iPhone systems but all of that means not much to me.
I figured it was some kind of operating system in the first place.
I might try wine, or whisky.
I always have it plugged in when I’m on and always logged on
But I do not choose a file name I just ‘save’ the photo, and there is no asking for a file name. Maybe it uses the one it’s is under but there is no choice to write something different.
There you go!
I can’t help you with this problem, but as a non-tech savvy person, I have found that the best place to learn how to do things with my phone or with my notebook is on YouTube. You can find great people explaining and demonstrating using words even I can understand.
Take a screenshot of the picture you want and crop it. Press the sleep button and volume up button at the same time.
the photo has been cancelled
Get out your iPad User Guide and start learning. Then do for yourself what takes others a lot of time to do if they can only see and handle your iPad with your untutored eyes and hands. Some will help you in the beginning of your adventure if you are participating, but without you being on the learning curve, they become codependents, not tutors.
Something you may need to consider:
An iOS device - yours - has a single user, instead of [every-day] multiple user accounts.
The iOS file system therefore includes various assumptions.
One assumption, is that YOU are the owner of various directories. File and folder permissions are either YOURS, or various iOS default owners (root, etc. - too much jargon, here).
If something -— LIKE GOOGLE -— manages to change the owner of a directory, to an un-authorized or un-expected name, then YOU may not be able to store items to that directory . . .
AND GOOGLE WILL.
Is one possibility.
IOW, something may have tampered with some tidbit(s) of your iOS File System.
Unfortunately, there is no *Disk First Aid* (such as for the Mac OS) . . . for iOS.
Given that you probably have a lot of valuable images and other files on your iPad, try to save that data to some hard drive via your iPad’s “parent” computer.
Be prepared. In order to run a complete RESET of your iPad -— as in restoring it to factory condition, followed by upgrades, followed by your laboring at adjusting the settings.
Whether or not that sounds appealing, at least be prepared and back up your files.
You forgot your /sarc tag.
Assuming that you have run several of these - instructions for complete shutdown of your iPad - using the Power Off slider:
