Could not open scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access rights.

could not open scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access rights.

It means what it says: Check your file permissions on your scratch disk.

    Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

  • "Could not open scratch file because disc is not available" Mac

    I recently changed the Photoshop (CS6) Scratch Disk choice from the default Boot Drive to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).
    When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:
    "Could not open scratch file because disc is not available"
    and Photoshop will not launch.
    I then restart Photoshop with "Command - alt - shift" keys held down
    (as per suggestion at <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)
    and reset the preferences which allows Photoshop to come back.
    (Resetting preferences returned the Boot Drive to scratch disk status.)
    I have another MacPro that - same OS 10.6.8 and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this scratch disk allocation problem.
    What is going on with the one  MacPro that prevents me from selecting a Photoshop scratch disk other than the boot drive?

    Ignore Ownership worked. Thank you!
    I saw this suggestion on another Discussion thread but wondered if that could be the problem since the non-boot scratch disks used on other computers here do not have this property chosen.
    "Permissions", "Ignore Ownership", and "apply to enclosed items" remain a mystery to me.
    As for Terminal, I've had my hand held a couple of times while I went there and it was not a comforting experience.
    Our work setup depends on complete access by everybody to everything (Read&Write Privileges apply to everyone here). We occasionally swap drives between computers which may cause problems, but why should it and how am I to know. The computer that prompted this discussion had its main hard drive replaced a couple of months ago which may have contributed to the problem.
    Is there a down-side to ignoring ownership on everything and having "read-write" privileges apply to everyone (aside from lax security)?

  • "could not open scratch file because disc is not available"

    Help. I am running a new photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) on a  new I-mac running 10.7.1
    The program seem to load and authorize correctly but when I try to open it I get 2 sequential error statements
    "could not open scratch file because the disc is not available"; then
    "could not initialize photoshop because the disc is not available"
    Where do I start?

    Hi,
    having the same problem here. We have 10 Mac Pro machines with OSX 10.6.8 and CS5 Photoshop 12.0.4. By now five of these machines have given the same error: "could not open scratch file because disc is not available" and "could not save ... because of a program error".
    The scratch disk is the same one which has the system and it hasn't been touched.
    I have repaired the disk permissions.
    This just started two days ago and haven't noticed it before. Any clues what could be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Janne

    If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more 
    clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to 
    prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

  • Photoshop cse 5 error "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available" using Maverick

    I am getting the following error:
    "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available"
    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on the Mac Operating System "Maverick". The application is currently loaded on an external bootable drive. I created an external bootable drive using "Disk Utilities". I've changed the directory /private/ to 777 using the following command "chmod -R 777 /private/". I have created the external bootable drive in the event that my current internal drive crashes. I would just then have to swap the drives out. I created the external bootable drive using DYNEX SATA Hard drive enclosure.
    Photoshop General Discussion

    I searched around and found the answer. My question was to specific. Jim Olvera had the same problem and this was the solution with the help of Adobe Support.
    OS X Mavericks. I was able to resolve it after a chat discussion with Adobe support. It is indeed a permissions issue apparently, but not one that can be resolved with Disk Utility. I was able to change to another scratch disk by holding down "Command + Option" as I launched Photoshop, and that did it. Still can't use the previous disk as a scratch, though, even though permissions have been repaired.

    Thank you for your suggestion, but I could not even get to the point where "Photoshop" would even open up.
    Thank you everyone!

  • Could not open scratch file

    When I try and open Photoshop, I get the following error "Could not open a scratch file because you do not have the necessary access privileges" followed by "could not initialize Photoshop because you do not have the necessary access privileges".  As a result, Photoshop fails o open.
    I have tried repairing Disk permissions, I have deleted the Photoshop Settings file, and I have tried Resetting Home Folder Permissions.
    I am the primary user, and it's only my user account that has the problem.  When I try and Reset Home Folder Permissions for my account, the process never completes.  When I perform the reset for the other users, it takes seconds.
    I've tried reinstalling Photshop, but still get the same error and Photshop fails to start.
    I concerned this is the beginning of a worsening problem with OSX LION.
    Any suggestions???
