Applications unable to write preferences

Hi,
I have an odd issue that has been growing for several months but has got worse since installing Mavericks.
It first surfaced when I installed PDFPen Pro and found that it crashed when trying to OCR a document. The console reported;
PDFpenPro[39449]: *** NSTask: Task create for path '/Applications/PDFpenPro.app/Contents/PlugIns/PDFpenOCR.app/Contents/MacOS/PDFp enOCR' failed: 22, "Invalid argument". Terminating temporary process.
Smile Software kindly spent a lot of time analysing the issue but could see no reason why it should fail in this way. The suspicions were around something going wrong with the Sandboxing or permissions on my Mac.
The issue is system-wide (it does not just occur on my own user account) but does not occur on my other Macs.
Meanwhile I installed Mavericks and have found new symptoms that are suspiciously similar with two apps; Mailhub (awesome Mail.app enhancement) and PDFPen Pro again.
In both cases I can do a clean install of the apps and they will ask me for registration detials etc. In both cases I can input the details and everything looks OK, but the license key and preferences are not saved; If I load the apps again they ask me for registration details again and all of the preferences are back at the defaults.
Does anyone have any good diagnostic tips I can try? I've tried verifying permissions in Disk Utility and running DiskTools Pro but found no obvious issues.
Thanks in advance.

Woops- scratch the first part of the issue- that turned out to be a problem with Mac OS X not unsetting the quarantine attribute on the whole file.
I'm back with just the inability to save settings in new apps.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
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?

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...

Unable to write to external drive after drive sleeps

This topic seems to be all over the place. I want to know if there is a fix.
I have a number of external disk drives. They are connected via USB and firewire. About 30% of the time, if a drive has been put in sleep mode and then later awakened, I am unable to write to it. If I try to dismount the drive I get a -50 error that the drive is in use. But that is not true because nothing but the finder is running. If I look the console log there are lots of the following messages.
Dec 6 15:50:43 squid fseventsd[45]: disk logger: failed to open output file /Volumes/Calvary1TB/.fseventsd/63657332a56b8d30 (Invalid argument). mount point /Volumes/Calvary1TB/.fseventsd
Dec 6 15:50:50 squid UnmountAssistant[1463]:
The drive in question is the CAXM Calvary1TB drive. BTW when I received the Calvary disk drive, I reformatted it OSX journaled with a GUID partition before using it. All my other 8 TB of storage is formatted the same way and I had no problems before Snow Leopard. Anyhow, If I force a dismount, all returns to normal. OR if I disable sleep the drive drives options in the energy saver preferences, the problem disappears. But then none of the drives ever spin down.
Once every 50 or so forced dismounts (it happens a lot), OSX will crash with the kiss of death display.
This problem did not exist in pre Snow Leopard, so obviously changes were made to the file system and not properly tested. Anyone have any idea when this will be fixed.

The drive in question is the CAXM Calvary1TB drive.
Calvary lists this drive series only in its "Windows PC" section at http://www.cavalrystorage.com/pr_index.htm. This could be a problem because different manufacturers use different methods to implement wake-from-sleep (or more generally, energy management features) in the support circuitry of external drives. IOW, there are no universal standards for this, so manufacturers may or may not design their implementations for cross-platform compatibility.
Unfortunately, since Windows PC's dominate the market some manufacturers use energy management methods in some or all of their designs that work reliably only with that platform. For this reason, there is always some risk of unexpected behavior when using external drives not specifically marketed as Mac OS X compatible with a Mac. (This is not a problem with "raw" internal drives directly connected to a Mac's SATA interface because there is no support circuitry involved.)
Since you already have invested in these drives, your best bet is to contact Calvary & see if they can offer a solution. If you are lucky, they may have a firmware updater for the CAXM series that works reliably with Snow Leopard; if not, they may simply tell you not to let the drives sleep, or that they don't support the CAXM series with Macs & you are on your own.

Unable to write in an external drive

Hi, everybody:
I am unable to write or work with the material I have in an external drive. I can see it, but nothing more. I see I have only permission for 'Read only' ('Solo puede leer', in Spanish), but I can't change it because there is no 'lock' to open there, or an evident way to do it. And I don't want to touch things in the System Preferences without knowing.
What can I do?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Remedios.

Thank you, Barney-15E. I can't reformat the drive, because I have there a lot of valuable stuff. Stuff I need to work with.
Hey... I'm a little disappointed with this. How is it that this super computer (the iMac is really wonderful, I agree) can't work with a simple hard drive I can use everywhere else..?
Well, anyway, sorry for disturbing you with my problems. Which one, Paragon, Tuxera, you recommend?
Thanks again,
Remedios.

"Unable to Write to SD Card"

I received the message "Unable to write to SD card" while trying to export some data from an app to my SD card. How do I regain the ability to write to my SD card?

CellDaddy,
I'm happy to help with your SD card. What information are you trying to move from the application? Does this happen on multiple apps? If you go into Settings>SD card, what is the available storage for the card? If you insert the SD card into the computer, are you able to view the files properly? Let me know!
Thank you,

Mac Mini (Mid 2010) Unable to write to external HD

Hey All,
     I have a Mid 2010 Mac Mini that becomes unable to write to a drive after an extended period of the drive being connected. HD is an external HD with it's own power supply connected of USB. Both iTunes (Using the drive to store Library) and Finder fail to write to the drive with error (-50) after around 10 hours. Tested multiple times, unmount and re-mounting drive temporarily fixes issue.
Trouble shooting so far:
     • HD has been replaced.
     • Mac Mini has been re-imaged multiple times. Tried server 10.7.2 and client 10.7.2
     • Multiple USB ports have been tested.
Thoughts? Drive is a 2TB LaCie Porsche Design.
Thanks in advanced,
Tim.

If you use Parallels then you will need at least 4 GBs of RAM. Otherwise, what makes you believe you need more RAM? What typical RAM usage do you observe using Activity Monitor? Also, see:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

WebUtil dll download error: Unable to write to local file

Hi,
Hopefully I'm putting this in the correct forums.
I'm setting up a Forms application that uses webutils.
We're running Forms and Reports standalone (10.1.2.3.0) running on Solaris Sparc (64bit) and have just applied patch 7703734.
As per Oracle Support doc [ID 783937.1], I'm trying to set the download location for the webutil libraries:
install.syslib.location.client.0 = C:\webutil
However, I'm gettting the following error message in the Java 6u16 console (repeated for each of the 3 webutil files)
*2011-Feb-07 12:24:16.988 ERROR>WUC-19 [URLDownload.pullFile()] Unable to write to local file C:\webutil\::dev\d2kwut60.dll. Failed to download URL http://appdev02:7787/forms/webutil/d2kwut60.dll*
I've done a bit of searching and most of the answer's I've come across refer to Vista or Windows 7 and UAC. Unfortunately the SOE for this app is XP Pro SP3.
It's probably something simple I'm missing , but would appreciate and pointing in the right direction.
If you need any more info, let me know.
Cheers,
Matt

Hello
the problem also appears with windows vista
i found a solution but it's not a good one
if you download the files into the java directory
you can modify the userrights and give the user "everyone" the right 'write' for the bin directory.

Cause of "unable to write to disk error"

Using a epson perfection v100 scanner and keep getting an unable to write to disk error after it scan and will not copy. Any ideas about what to try to fix this? thank you..
p.s. using snow leopard and I have already tried to re-dowload software off the epson site.

Have you tried...
Trashing preferences?
Run Disk Utility?
Instead of control-clicking on the drive, try control-clicking on the Capture Scratch folder and the project Subfolder and changing permissions.

Trying to install/format an INTERNAL hard drive using Disk Utility gives me "Error: -69760: Unable to write to the last block of the device". Is that a hardware problem and what could be done about it?

*** PLEASE NOTE*** - This is a query about an INTERNAL HDD not an external one. Thanks.
My Mac is a late 2009 model and the current hard drive recently failed. So I bought a new one, exactly the same, albeit 750gb instead of 500gb. The HDD is a Seagate Momentus 7200. Before the my current drive failed I made a time machine back up to an external USB HDD. I've inserted the HDD into the bottom of my Mac, plugged in the USB and started my machine pressing the 'Option' ([ALT]) key. I go into Disk Utility to try and format the new HDD by creating a new partition but I keep getting the messages,
"Error: -69760: Unable to write to the last block of the device"
or
"POSIX: could not allocate memory"
This is actaully the third HDD I've tried. The first was another Seagate Momentus 7200 500gb, but this time it was a newer model (model number ended in 423AS instead of 420AS - the new one I am trying ends with 420AS, which is the same as the current HDD). I then tried a Western Digital drive but that one didn't even show up in DU. Forums and tech support are suggesting it's faults with the HDDs but surely not three in a row?
Could this be an issue with another part of my Mac?
Is there anything else I can do to format the HDD, have I missed a crucial step?

Did you ever get a resolution to this issue?
I am having that exact error with a new 512GB SSD from Crucial, in a 15" MBP mid-2010.
I really wonder now if the stupid SATA cable could be bad - causing the initial SSD fail. I am replacing it with the EXACT same drive, and getting that "last block" error when i partition in the GUI or from command-line.
thanks!
