An error occured while trying to create directory C:\Program Files\Common Files

iTunes and Quicktime kept giving errors when trying to update so I tried to uninstall and re-install but I get the same error and now don't have iTunes. I get multiple errors for c:\program files\common files\apple\apple application support\webkit.resources\ru.lproj and c:\program files\common files\apple\mobile device support\com.apple.windowsmail.client.resources\pt.lproj\localizable.strings. Verify that you have access to that directory.I have tried clearing cache, cookies, etc. Also tried to remove those files but I get another error. I have full administration rights and turned off all security. Any ideas???

That's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive. There's XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • An error occured while trying to copy the needed DB driver jar files

    When I try to run my web app, I see this error in the Output window.
    Creator will also put up a window essentially saying that I don't have a particular

  • I cannot install itunes because of an error while trying to create directory H:\Program Files why is this happening

    I get this message when trying to install itunes, I have tried just about everything but nothing works. I have wiped ALL traces of itunes and started again...no luck...iI tried a 32bit instead of a 64 which is what my pc is rated for...no luck...it was all due to the latest version being released so I tried to upgrade but nothing works. Not even rolling back to a previous version is working.
    Any ideas????

  • I'm having problems with a message that says: An error occurred while Attempting to create the directory: C:/program files/itunes/cd configuarion

    I know this is a long story, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to get the most specific help I can (as Apple seems to specialize in assuming user error for all its demonic software). I've never had issues with iTunes before (barring a "Connect to iTunes" snafu with my iPod Touch) -- and never, in fact, with Windows Vista, if you believe that -- but this is the most bizarre thing I've seen.
    I recently downloaded the new iTunes v 9.0.3 as I am occasionally prompted to do whenever a new version comes out, and immediately I had problems. Access to the iTunes and Quicktime folders was mysteriously denied after the update, and after several hours of frustration, I was able to grant my own Administrative access to these two folders and installation went through. Thank God.
    Then I bought some music. No problems -- downloaded just fine, along with a copy of Cinderella Man and the new episode of Smallville. Life was good for a few days.
    Then I connected my iPod Touch to the computer. All of a sudden, Microsoft Windows informs me that the "Apple Mobile Device Service stopped working and was closed," with subtext, "A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available."
    Bullsh*t Windows can help me with anything from Apple.
    So I've tried to get iTunes to work with me on this. I've come up against the infamous "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)" message. My God, when does it ever end?
    So I go into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Apple Mobile Device and start it back up... only to watch it stop again inexplicably moments later. Hmm... Restart. Stays on. Unplug the iPod and plug it back in. Apple Mobile Device Service stops again. Maybe it's the iPod Service itself. Hey, that one's not started! [Start] "Windows could not start the iPod Service service on Local Computer -- Error 5: Access is denied."
    What the f*ck is it with this "Access denied" crap? I've never been denied access to even the most intimate functions, files and folders on my freaking computer before! What has Apple created!?
    I thought, perhaps Apple Mobile Device software was somehow removed. Okay, let's redownload iTunes (aka Repair the program from the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel -- same thing). Huh. "An error occurred while attempting to create directory C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration," and I can choose to Retry or Cancel. So, instinctively, I deleted the CD Configuration folder, assuming iTunes Setup would just recreate it.
    Well, that didn't work now, did it? I deleted it and hit Retry, and it said, "The installer has insufficient priveleges to access the directory: C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator." Running the .exe file as an adminstrator changes NOTHING about this predicament.
    So that's where it stands. No CD Configuration folder; full access to all files and folders involved; Apple Mobile Device Service still keeps going off for no reason; iPod Service still doesn't run; Repairing/Reinstalling iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, etc. does nothing; and God (aka Steve Jobs, apparently) hates me.
    . . . . . . . . . . . . Help me.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

    Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
    "an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
    I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
    Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

    I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
    I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Are you behind a firewall or double NAT??
    What is the device that is immediately plugged into the main modem or router? Has that one been able to update?
    It is plugged in of course isn't it.. no nasty join wireless anywhere??
    The best way to work around these sort of problems is to simplify the network.. Plug each device directly into the main router.. by ethernet. You can trigger the firmware upgrade by wireless but use ipad or iphone version of airport utility and see what happens.

  • An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point"

    Hi,
    I've been using wireless access for a year and never had a problem connecting.
    But starting yesterday I get a +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    I have 2 Mac's and have no problem connecting with the other one. It’s just the IMac.
    I tried everything including resetting router, changing password, adding a $ to the password, accessing without password, deleting the whole air port and create a new one, but still getting the same message.
    I might need to add, while I was working with the IMac I didn’t use wireless for a few hours, but when I got back to my browser I noticed that I was connected to a different wireless service. (FONFREEINTERNET if it matters) I have no idea why, since I didn’t change it.
    Anyways, I tried to switch back to my access point, but it wouldn’t let me. It’ll just give me the +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    Funny is when I use the FONFREEINTERNET access point the internet seems to work fine.
    I could look up Google without a problem, but when I tried to connect to Facebook for example it won’t let me. Instead a FONFREEINTERNET page will pop up with some options on how to pay! (by minute/or day/or week…)
    I get the strange feeling that they planted some kind of bug/virus!!!
    I don’t know what else to do.
    Anyone knows that problem? What can I do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    I researched on FONFREEINTERNET, there’s a spot close to my house/guess that’s the one I used…
    http://maps.fon.com/ ZIP CODE 904-0113 and you’ll see a coffee pod, which is about 2 minutes walk from my house.

    Hello Tesserax,
    I get the same error message again...
    I tried the 3 suggested steps again, but unfortunately it did not work.
    After a Restart, Sleep or just the awaking from Screensaver mode I’m disconnected from my wireless Network anymore.
    Even if the Computer was asleep for just a second!
    I am able to fix the problem temporarily with Network Preferences → Assist me → Diagnostics
    Choose Airport → Choose network → Enter Password (Even if I check safe password it’ll ask me every time) → and than usually all lights on the left menu switch from red to green and I get the popup message “A Network Change has been detected. Your Internet seems to work fine.” (similar - I’m at work and don’t remember exactly)
    And it works fine…until the screensaver comes on or it sleeps again
    I have the Problem with my IMac and Mini but the IMac at least remembers my password…
    Any Ideas
    I’m connected through a Buffalo WZR2-G300N wireless router

  • "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library..."

    Installed iPhoto6.
    Started app. It said it would take a few seconds or minutes to upgrade.
    About 6 hours later after churning on thumbnails it is now claiming this error over and over with some time that goes by in between:
    "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library."
    "Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
    It says I have 22,759 photos in Library. The Library was a subset of my images, named "iPhoto Library 2005" and it was intentionally kept below the 25,000 limit of iPhoto5.
    Since Steve claims iPhoto6 can easily handle 250,000 photos, I clicked on the upgrade button with confidence. This now appears to be a mistake. Last night I was working on an iDVD for the local school and the majority of that work has simply vanished. There were 320 photos. I spent hours adding keywords, ranking, adjusting temperature, focus, exposure, etc.
    Of the 320, only 16 photos survived. They are 16 in a row from the middle of the roll near the end but not at the end. The roll name was lost. The name is now just "Roll 226" and none of the photos have keywords. I know at least one of the 16 should have the keyword "DUPE" and the ranking 2 STARS since it precedes a double that I ranked 2 during a slideshow, sorted by ranking, and dragged to the DUPE keyword. All 16 should have the ACROCK keyword which I initially assigned to all photos.
    Again, 304 of 320 have vanished and the 16 that remain have no keywords or rankings.
    I watched the slide show in iPhoto5 three times with different music candidates so I know the keywording and rankings evaporated in iPhoto6. I also clicked ACROCK and option clicked DUPE and POOR so that all of the music program photos except dupes and poor images would vanish. I only deleted one photo so there were not a lot of changes to the library in terms of photos in it. I cannot think of any reason why the 16 chosen survived. Only two were placed in a DVD dropzone and they are scattered amongst the 16 survivors.
    Also, the ACROCK and DUPE keywords are also gone while the POOR keyword added in August is in the keyword table just fine.
    I exported these 320 photos last night to iDVD and tried almost all of the different themes and I dragged about 10 different photos to the dropzones, hit play, hit motion, etc.
    It seems very strange that 16 photos from the middle of the pack would survive.
    It seems extra odd that iPhoto5 and iDVD treated these as "established" photos, not photos hanging in the wings somewhere ready to vanish in an upgrade.
    I gracefully saved and quit iDVD and iPhoto5 and there were no crashes and nothing strange happened while making the DVD. I was hoping today to try out the new themes and maybe find one that is just right for the kids. Instead, about 300 of 320 photos of the kids went bye-bye along with all the work on the photos!
    I'm nervous that many more photos are missing but I will need to do a ton of checking to see what else has been deleted by the upgrade.
    The user message that iPhoto6 presents is nearly useless and strange. It offers little if anything to go on in terms of a repair procedure. After saying an error has occurred, it says some recent changes could be lost but doesn't expand at all on what they may be or why.
    From my experience, recently added photos, keywords, keyword assignments, rankings and maybe more can all be lost. To compound matters, before the upgrade it says that you cannot go back to the prior (working!) library in iPhoto5. Beware!
    It finishes by suggesting two vague steps to take. The first is to make sure your disk has "enough" space. How much is "enough"? It doesn't say something like X GB available, Y GB needed. A user would have no clue about how much space to free up. I have over 17 GB and assumed that would be enough. I sure hope it doesn't require double the space of the existing library. I would hope it has a smarter algorithm than that since 23,000 photos at about 3 MB each maps to about 70 GB. That's a lot of "temporary" space to require to perform an upgrade. Since the upgrade/error message provide no details (unlike package installers which supposedly tell you how much space you need), users like me would have no clue if 70 GB is plenty or not enough.
    I found 24 GB secretly used by iPhoto 5 for an iPod Photo Cache and a tech bulletin saying this just grows and grows without control and it can be deleted SO I wouldn't put huge hidden disk usage past iPhoto6.
    The last none-to-helpful suggestion is that a user make sure that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder. Huh?!??!?
    Wouldn't this be a great thing to confirm via software before setting about on 6+ hours of work, especially if there is an error message hard-coded in the software confirming that Apple knows the result may be losing valuable customer photos and hours of work on enhancing, keywording, creating DVDs, etc.?
    Of course. This appears negligent. To know that customer file loss will likely result but not checking these things out in advance before taking that risk seems like putting the cart before the horse at customers' expense & pain and certain loss of irreplaceable family photos (for the, say, 80%+ of iPhoto users that "plan" to get a backup routine established?).
    I got burned in the iPhoto5 upgrade as well, losing photos, so I was sure to have a backup so it wouldn't happen again. Most I fear won't be so fortunate so be advised of the risk and work with copies of your photos only.
    Also, why would iPhoto5 have all the permissions it needs to store, edit, tag and otherwise work with 320 photos added last night? Why would version 5 have plenty of permissions to use the folders and the photos in them. Why would iPhoto 6 suddenly lose those permissions or not have enough? This hardly makes any sense. The only way the permissions were set, the iPhoto libraries got created and the albums got created was by dragging a folder of images onto the albums pane in iPhoto5. So, iPhoto5 set all the permissions, everything is under one user account and there should be no surprise permissions for iPhoto6 to deal with.
    It seems unbelievable that iPhoto 6 couldn't do what iPhoto 5 was doing. I never changed permissions and never touched files in the iPhoto 5 structure.
    I can only guess that recently added keywords, recently added photos and recently added rankings and keyword taggings linger in some at-risk staging area that a version 6 upgrade doesn't know how to deal with. This seems like a lame way to code this app so I don't consider this a good guess but what else could it be?
    Anyone else have a better hunch at a root cause?
    Anyone else have an idea of a cure?
    Anyone else run into this?
    It sure doesn't look like there was a test case for having near 25,000 photos (an iPhoto 5 documented requirement), working with the latest roll and then doing a version 6 upgrade because it failed miserably--user data loss--without any special effort to find defects. In a former life I tested software and released software was much more difficult to break than this.
    I would appreciate any other user experiences/solutions related to this problem. I am reluctant to import another 22,000 photos from iPhoto Library 2004 only to find more photos go poof without any rhyme or reason.
    Thanks in advance for your help and I hope this alerts others to a potential for valuable photo loss (i.e., back up before you upgrade, verify iPhoto Library permissions--whatever that means--and have scads of disk space available assuming there's any truth to the error message!).

    I'll check if I have copies of copies of copies. This could take a while due to the number of files.
    I picked up a brand new 300 GB Western Digital hard drive thinking 20GB or so was not enough for temp files for upgrading and/or importing.
    I formatted it as a mac os extended, journaled drive, not case sensitive, one full-size partition. I started iPhoto6 with the option key. I had a CF in my other WD 300 GB (with media reader). iPhoto6 asked about the photos on the card. I told it not to download those (again). Because I was holding the option key down, iPhoto6 asked if I wanted to select a different library or create one. I created one on the brand new, 100% empty 300 GB drive. I'm not sure if/where iPhoto6 creates temporary/cache files (like iPhoto iPod Cache folder) as it sets up a new library. I was hoping the empty 300 GB drive would give it ample room to load an existing iPhoto5 library.
    When I dragged an old iPhoto5 Library onto the new iPhoto6 Library Album pane. I saw the "Importing..." start and it went on and on and on and... I let it run for HOURS and HOURS. When I checked around midnight, it had crashed. When I started it again, it said it had run across some huge number of stray photos.
    I have no idea why iPhoto6 would have trouble importing an iPhoto5 library that was below the 25,000 photo mark for 5. This is especially bizarre since iPhoto6 claims it supports 250,000 photos!
    I'll be trying to figure out if these stray photos got imported as dupes, if they lost iPhoto5 keywords, etc. I fear something different but equally bad happened since the number of photos it came up with was like 79,000--again many stray photos that didn't make it into the first import for no known reason. Since libraries in iPhoto5 were around 25,000 or less, I'm not sure what's happening.
    Maybe there's a cache or temp file still created on Macintosh HD and not on the empty new 300GB drive and a bug exists for imports when space on Mac HD is "low" (i.e., under 3.5 GB). Maybe it's seeing thumbs as files it should import? Maybe it's seeing Orig and Modified images as worthy of reimporting?
    I had told it not to import dupes but who knows if it goes by file name, checksum, byte-for-byte comparison, etc.
    I'm not sure if I can even pull up iPhoto5 and 6 at the same time now to scroll through the libraries to see if dupes, thumbs, original/modifies/etc. are showing up to boost the count from under 25K to 79K!
    Ideas? At least I know I'm not the only G5 dual user with this problem!

  • "The following errors occurred while trying to open this page." Why?

    Dear all,
    I'm running an online store at http://bubblething.com. I created it with iWeb 08. It crashed and I've been trying to recreate it, partly from images retreived by Apple from their "webarchive" and partly with images created fresh. I But I keep getting a dropdown error box saying "The following errors occurred while trying to open this page." Then there's a list of the missing images, and the images are all crossed out on my page. This seems to be happening unpredictably, sometimes just a few days after I've worked on the page. What's happening? Is it because somehow I've moved files, and the links to the images are broken? Please help!

  • Sysprep - Fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine

    On the 4th attempt to sysprep a Windows 7 Enterprise system, I get the dreaded, 'A fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine.' 
    The setuperr.log shows:
    2010-08-04 13:57:58, Error      [0x0f0073] SYSPRP RunExternalDlls:Not running DLLs; either the machine is in an invalid state or we couldn't update the recorded state, dwRet = 31

    I've seen articles referring to the Windows Software Licensing Rearm program may have issues running more than three times in a single Windows image and to add <SkipRearm>1</SkipRearm> in the /unattend file...  but this did not help. 
    The Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service has also been disabled which is often referred to in other posts.
    The KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947212/en-us indicated that the resolution is to re-create the image for the machine... This is very frustrating. I'm hoping that there is
    a better resolution???
    How do you sysprep a machine more than three times to avoid this error?
    Thanks!!

    I had a problem Where Runing slmgr /dlv returned 0 and could not sysprep a
    32 bit Win 7 Installed on C:drive
    Here is what I did to succeed whit Sysprep.
    Disable UAC
    Based on
    This :
    open notepad and copy paste the following:
    @ECHO OFF
    setLocal Enabledelayedexpansion

        reg unload HKLM\MY_SYSTEM
        GOTO END
    :END
    ECHO Done, Rebooting system...
    timeout 3
    wpeutil reboot
    Then in notepad chose file>save as, in File Type select "All Files", name it "c:\reset.bat"
    Reboot Your Pc, after bios screen press F8, Select "Repair Your Computer", select your keyboard layout, enter your credentials if needed,
    then select the last option "Open Command Prompt"
    type "c:\reset.bat" or "d:\reset.bat" (Sometimes Your Windows Partition get a different letter on the repair environment)
    Back on Windows follow step five if needed.
    Check under slmgr /dlv you have more than 0 under "Remaining Windows Rearm count"
    Download pstools.zip from
    here, extract content an copy psexec.exe to %windir%\System32
    run psexec.exe and accept the license agreement so it won't bother when running afterwards, close it.

  • Permissions issue: An error occurred while trying to save your photo librar

    I recently upgraded from a Mac mini running OS X 10.4.10 (iPhoto 08) to an iMac Core2Duo (2.4ghz) running Leopard (and also iPhoto 08).
    My iPhoto library resided on an external Firewire drive when running on the Mac mini, but now that the iMac has such a large hard disk (750gb), I wanted to move my library there. I copied the library over to the Pictures folder in my user folder on the iMac and started up iPhoto, and everything seemed fine.
    When iPhoto is running for any length of time, I get the following error:
    *An error occurred while trying to save your photo library.*
    *Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library.*
    (I have over 300gb available on the disk and my library folder is approximately 40gb.)
    I've repaired the permissions on the library using iPhoto's built-in mechanism (command-option while booting iPhoto) and Disk Utility. Additionally, I've used BatchMod to give my user and group full read/write/delete permissions (as posted elsewhere in the forums), but I still get the error.
    Searching the forums yields other users w/ the same issues. What's the scoop? TIA!

    Sean:
    I just had the very same problem when I was messing with permissions and reset my unknown group to staff. I lost all write permissions in my nome folder. Here's how you can reset it for your pictures folder:
    In the Terminal type in "sudo chmod -R -N " (there's a space after the N) and drag the Pictures folder into the Terminal window. Then hit the enter key. It should chug along for a couple of seconds and return a new prompt. Give iPhoto another try after that.
    I had to do that for my entire home folder and it fixed the problem.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto: An error occurred while trying to save your photo library.

    "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library.
    Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library."
    Basically, the same issues as this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1588998&tstart=0
    I have tried the BatchMod with no luck. If it matters, this is on an external hard drive and I am the only user on this computer. Looking at the info of the library file, I have read/write/execute permissions and my group has read permissions only. I thought BatchMod would change these permissions but it doesn't seem to work.
    Actually, I restarted my computer and it works now. But I am still worried it might happen again. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If it's working now it could have been a one time hiccup. Do you backup your library on a regular basis? If not you definitely should.
    If the library gets damaged/corrupted you won't lose your photos but can lose all of your organizational effort that you put into the library. If the external HD crashes then you will lose all.

There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Error Message: "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library."

    I am all of the sudden getting this error message while in iPhoto, seems to come up after I try to delete some photos:
    "*An error occurred while trying to save your photo library.* Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library."
    I have 83 GB of hard disk space available. Any help?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
