Error message: Cannot create file

I have recently merged two users on a 10.4.11 OS machine and ever since I've been unable to download a file in safari. The download window shows the requested file with a message reading:"cannot create file". There's plenty of space on disk so cannot be that.
I have swapped around the Library Safari preferences between old and new users, i have deleted Safari preferences, I have installed safari 3.2.1, repaired permissions and so on but Safari will still not download any files. Is there a way to completely uninstall then reinstall, or should I just try Safari 4? or does this still use some plist files from older installations?

Download error message - "Cannot Create File"

Recently I developed a problem and am unable to download anything (files, software, etc) from any website. I begin a download, the download manager comes up and it shows an error message "Cannot Create File." I am using the default manager that is incorporated in OS X 10.3.9.
I never had a problem until a week or so ago when I downloaded a software demo. I decided to get the full software package and trashed the demo files per the company's instructions. I got the error message when I tried to download the full program and now get the message no matter what I attempt to download. Might I have trashed a file I wasn't supposed to trash?
I tried installing 10.3.9 again on my main drive but still have the problem. If I use an external hard drive with spare copy of 10.3.9 and make that my start up drive, I can download files successfully.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error message "cannot locate file"

I purchased a new computer and used Detto Intelli Mover to transfer all my music files. When I opened the library, they all appeared to be there, but when I try to plan anything I get an error message "cannot locate file" This happens with all of my 1,200 songs. The error message also says "would you like to look", but I am unable to locate then. Can anyone help with this?

Have you added all the songs to the library? Just by dragging and dropping?

Scanning problem. Receive error message: cannot write file. Code 10,242,7. Please help

I just purchased and installed a Canon MX 922 multi-function printer. I'm having a problem with the scanner in that the output after scanning cannot be displayed and is accompanied with an error message : Cannot write file. Code 10,242,7. This occurs when scanning documents and images. My operating system Windows XP (32). Can anyone please help me solve this problem? Thank you.

Hello. Please try the following adjustment to see if we can resolve this issue: 1. Open the IJ Scan Utility from your Desktop or the Canon Utilities listing of the Start Menu.2. Click Settings.3. On the left, choose the Auto Scan tab.4. Click the Defaults button on the lower right.5. Continue this process with each tab on the left.6. Click OK at the bottom of the Settings menu.

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

LV 8.2.1 reinstallation error 1301: Cannot create file

Hi,
I was forced to uninstall LV 8.2.1 and reinstall it. When I'm reinstalling LV 8.2.1 I get an error message
Error 1301. Cannot create file ". A directory with the same name already exists. Cancel the install and try installing to a different location.
(Abort, Retry, Ignore).
This error is somehow related to the fact that after uninstalling LV 8.2.1 LabVIEW 8.2 installation directory still remains with some stuff in the user.lib and other folders. I'm always using OpenG packages and I didn't uninstall them so that may be the reason. I also used DataAct class browser with LabVIEW.
The problem is that I cannot uninstall my OpenG packages before I can get my LabVIEW installed again as VI Package Manager reposinsible for installing OpenG packages doesn't work without installed version of LabVIEW. And I cannot get my LabVIEW correctly installed because of this error. I can press ignore and the installation procedes but I don't know whet it didn't do because of the error.
I guess this error is a bug in LV 8.2.1 isntaller so would some of NI application engineers help, please.
For now I press Ignore.

You will get this error if the installer is trying to install a file that has the same name as a folder at that location. For example lets say the installer has a file called "sample" that should go in LabVIEW\examples folder. Now lets say there was a folder called "LabVIEW\examples\sample". Windows wont let you copy that "sample" file in the same location that contains a "sample" folder. The failure is not an error in the installer.
The problem with the 8.2.1 installer is that it is not telling you what file this failure occurred on. It is trying to, but the string is not formatted correctly and it just says "cannot create file ." The actual file name should be where the "." is.
You can usually tell what file it failed on from the text above the progress bar where it says what file is being copied. The best way to see what failed was to get an installation log file.

Error message- cannot create PDF from Word doc

All of a sudden I cannot create a PDF from a Word doc. I click the Adobe icon and get the following error message:
"PDFMaker could not locate the Adobe PDF printer. Please install the printer on this machine."
I opened my print & fax in System Utilities and see that Adobe PDF 7.0 printer is listed. I select that in the Print Dialog, go back to the Word doc, but get the same error message. Any idea how I can fix this?
Thank you--

What versions of WORD. Is your AAX updated, or still running 10.0.0? What OS? Can you print to the Adobe PDF printer (i.e., is it just with PDF Maker that you are not successful). If it is a problem with PDF Maker, can you see the Adobe menu in WORD? As you may see, saying you cannot create a PDF from WORD does not tell us much and we need a lot more info to help.

Do you have the .swf file available still ?

When I link file I get error message cannot save file to draft then I cannot send the message

Using Hightail to link, I click link, the file uploads and the blue box appears in the email with the link but then when I try to send it I get an error message saying "Sending of message failed. There was an error attaching hightail.png. Please check if you have access to the file.".... Help!

There could be a number of factors: under Tools/Account Settings/<i>accountname</i>/Copies & Folders, are drafts saved to an IMAP server folder or Drafts on Local Folders? The latter is recommended for IMAP accounts. Second, does the attachment size exceed your service provider's limits? Third, do you have ab anti-virus program scanning outgoing mail (disable that component if it's in place)?
Otherwise, there could be a bug in the Hightail implementation in TB.

I get an error message 'Cannot create session cookie'

Hello,
This is the exact error message I receive:

No idea what causes it, but it does happen. Try this.....
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or this ....
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

Windows 7 downloading thunderbird error message Cannot creat temp folder archive.

I have been using thunderbird for ages and no problems until now

I don't think Malwarebytes would cause the problem. Please state the exact error message and exactly what you are doing when it occurs. Start Windows in safe mode with networking and run TB.
