"broken assets" error message when saving project as disc image

I've seen this question asked before but I've been unable to find a solution that works. I am using iDvd6. After creating my project in iMovie, I shared it with iDvd. I then added a slide show and some music. Before burning to disc I "save as disc image". However when I click "file" and "save as disc image", the error says that I have a "broken asset" in my project and need to fix it before continuing.
The DVD map shows no errors. I even deleted the iDVD project completely and started it again by going back to iMovie and sharing to iDvd, but I still get the same error. I even deleted the file "com.apple.idvd.." (I forget exactly) as someone recommended and restarted iDvd, and still no luck. The irony is that I have already done 8 different projects successfully (iMovie to iDvd to image burn to disc burn), but this one has me stumped as I can't find any errors to repair. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Brett

Hi b
1. I don't ever use "Share/Export to iDVD" from within iMovie. It renders and
destroys.
I drop my movie icon (with a Star on it) into the open iDVD theme window)
iDVD do the redering and so much better.
2. Deleting the pref file is always a good start:
iDVD
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
3. Free space on internal hard disk should read about 20 - 25Gb free.
4. I would start a new account / log into this / re-do the iDVD project but
this time by dropping in the movie icon.
Yours Bengt W

Error message when saving a PDF to PNG: Error attempting to write file.

I get an error message when saving a PDF to PNG. JPG and TIFF works, but no PNG.

I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

Write permission error message when I try to 'save image' from elements 12 raw camera to main editing section?

I get a 'write permission error' message when I try to 'save image' from Raw Camera sector to the main editing section of Elements 12. How can I overcome this problem?

Well, first of all Save Image doesn't have anything to do with moving a raw file into the regular editor. That's the DNG converter. Evidently you are trying to create a dng file in a place where you don't have permission to write. Take a look at the location and change it to someplace where you can write. An example would be opening a file that's on a disc and trying to save back to that disc.
But you should still be clicking the Open button instead of the Save Image button if you want to do anything other than make a DNG file.

Getting an error message when saving my artwork in Illustrator 10. (Some images inside)

So, I was working on this picture just finely, saving the progress...well, last night, when I went to save what I did before retiring for the night, I got the following error.
I don't know what the deal is, it forcs me to rename the darn file, so I end up with two copies of the same project, and I can't even delete the old one, because it gives me some jibber-jabber about the file being used by some program
And on a side note, I have another problem...you know when you have thumnail pictures of your .ai files in the My Computer while exploring the files in the folders? Well, I notice that sometimes that some of the file's thumbnails are scrambled and glitchy and look like this;
rather then this
I will load the scrambled one in, save as a new name, and try to delete and will get the error message as shown on the 2nd image of this post. I'm totally baffled! Even when I close the program, it still says it's in use....by what? I only use .ai files with Illustrator 10....and am tired of seeing my file's thumbnails go scrambled like that...makes it hard to see what the image is, if I don't recognize the file name.
Please, I need help.
Thank you kindly.

Hi cristinar,
By default, Ai CC is installed at below locations:-
Win64 -"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit)"
Win32-"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC" (on a 64bit machine) / "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC" (on a 32bit machine)
Just navigate to the location where AI is installed; right-click shortcut for AI and select 'Run as Administrator' to rectify the issue. You need to follow this step only once and not on every launch of AI CC.
Thanks.

Error message when opening project.

Hello,
I get an error message when I try to open a project which I've been working on for the last couple of weeks.
It looks like this:
Any tips on how to get it to work again, or am I screwed?
I've tried to restart Captivate aswell as the computer. The file is not an attachment and I've been working on it every day the last weeks, been working just fine. There's still hard disk space left, so shouldn't be an issue either.
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Patrik

I was referring to the Preference option in Captivate to create backup files. Did you have this turned on?
Working over a LAN on any Captivate project file is not recommended because a glitch in the network traffic during a save action can corrupt your project file. This may in fact be what has happened in your case.
When you say the file was "only saved on my hard drive" do you mean that you saved the project file to your hard drive before opening it each time you work on it? If so, this is highly recommended.
Look to see if you have a backup version of your file (look in the same location as the project file and see if you have another file there about the same size with the same name but backup on the end).
If there is no backup file then you may be able to restore the project by using the Captivate cache files.
See this link for instructions about how to do that:

Error message when saving to a:\ drive when no disk present

I am using a Jfilechooser andsaving images using ImageIO, but I want add in the code necessary to display an error message when the user tries to save to the a:\ drive but there is no disk present. How would I do this, this is the code so far:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setApproveButtonMnemonic('a');
chooser.setApproveButtonText("Save");
// create a file chooser with save dialog
int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(c);
// If the user selects ok
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
// Get the file the user selected
File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
/ Get the name of the selected file
String name = file.getName();
     // Set the format name to null
String formatName = null;
// Get the index number of when the . occurs in the file name
int dot = name.indexOf(".");
     try {
     if(dot == -1) {
     file = new File(file.getParentFile(),
name + "." + defaultExtension);
     formatName = defaultExtension;
     else {
// else get the format name using a substring.
     formatName = name.substring(dot+1);
     // If the image cannot be saved, display an error message.
     if(!ImageIO.write(bi, formatName, file)) {
     file.delete();
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(c,
     "The image could not be saved. Please ensure that the extension is .jpg or .png",
     "Image save failed",
     JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
     else {          // The image can be saved, so display a confirmation message
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(c,
     "The image has been saved to:\n"+
     file.getPath(),
     "Image Saved",
     JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
     catch(IOException e) {               // Display an error message if save fails.
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(c,
     "The image could not be saved, no space on disk!!\n" + e,
     "Image save failure",
     JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

Again I have tried this, but in my program if I try to save to the a drive when no disk is inserted, the JOptionPane i want to display is not coming up.
the system prints out
java.io.FileNotFoundException: A:\image.jpg <The device is not ready>
If that makes any sense to you

Error message when saving .fm file

I just upgraded my FrameMaker program to 7.2.
When I try to save my work, the following message appears on-screen:
An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. The file has been saved, but has lost some image data. Please report this error to Adobe Technical Support.
My file has NOT been saved, none of the changes I've made have been saved. I cannot save this file under a different name, either. And the automated files that are generated by the program as "back-up" files are useless.
HELP!!!

Upgraded to 7.2..... Good that you didn't rush into it. ;- )
Anyway, that's the standard error message when a file contains objects imported using an OLE link AND you are running XP SP3.
SP3 implemented security fixes that essentially broke OLE within Frame (and a number of other applications).
So if your document(s) contain OLE links, you're likely to have to convert them to imported-by-reference graphics if they're graphic files or do some other type of conversion if they're tables or PPT slides.

"This file cannot be found" error message when saving document

Hello,
Strangely, every time I click "save" in CS6 it opens up a 'Save As' window, (which shouldn't happen), then I click save witht the existing file name (it then tells me the doc already exists), I click OK, (and then OK to the next popup window) then get the message that "This file cannot be found". I'm forced to click "ok" and the doument isn't saved. I've tried saving it differently in previous versions and it still doesn't work. I recorded a video of this behavior. You can see it here - http://screencast.com/t/W1GYK0zsrk
Why would it be trying to find a file? It seems like an error message when trying to Open a doc, not Save a doc.
Please HELP!! I can't shutdown my station until I get the document to save.

Yes, Mohit1233 - it happened with every file yesterday. Finally, I closed the doc (forcing me to lose my work), then restarted my computer and today the problem is gone. I'm working on a PC (HP);
Barblove - I tried doing that yesterday (copying and pasting into a new doc), and still nothing. I also tried copying the work into a CS3 doc (but got an error message).

Error message when saving a jpeg after updating to Mountain Lion

I've just updated to Mac Mountian Lion and I'm getting an error message when I go to save a jpeg in Fireworks CS6. I've attached a screenshot but the message says "Could not save the file. The file could not be found". But it actually does save the file. This is very irritating and wondered if anyone else had come across this or found a solution. I believe I'm up to date on all my FW updates. I notice that this seems to do it when I use image preview to save. Thanks for any help!

I believe this issue was recently discussed in the following thread:

"Unknown Error" Message when saving Illutrator CS3 file

I get this unknown error message when attempting to save an illustrator file.(CS3). I tried to open and then save several files with the same resulting error message. As a work around, I have reverted to working in CS2 until I can get this resolved.

Chris -
Thanks for your quick response.
Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

Hello, cinemann,
Welcome to the discussions.
+Can you help me?+ Maybe....probably....but you need to give more information about your project.
What are you trying to burn? Movies, photos? From where? iMovie, iPhoto? What versions are you using?
What exactly is the error message? At what point do you get the error message?
What is the 'path' that you checked?
What OS are you using? How much free drive space?
Once you provide more specific information, we can address your problems.

Microsoft Project Error Message when Saving

"You cannot lock or delete the last unlocked column in a table" is the error message I get every time I save my Microsoft Project 2007 Schedule. I sent the schedule to someone else, he sent it back, and now I get this message every time I save
the Schedule.
How can I get rid of this message?

KEverhartMWH --
Was the user to whom you sent the project file using either Microsoft Project 2010 or 2013. If so, that may have corrupted your project. To find out, I would recommend you save the file as an XML file, then close the XML file. Reopen the
XML file and when prompted in the Import Wizard, create a new project from the XML file. Then see if you can save this project, using a different name, of course. Please let us know if this helps.

Error message when Saving as Disc Image & Burning

I've been getting this error message: Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.
When I'm either trying to Burn a DVD or Save as a Disc Image. I've read all of the previous discussions and nothing is working. I have 320 GB on my computer hard drive and 8GB of memory. I'm trying to burn a Large (960x540) movie that I created in iMovie that is 12 minutes long and 169 MB. There is no logical explanation that I can find for there to be any space issues in burning or saving this file.
Also, I found something that said to delete a preferences file, repair disk permissions and restart the computer. All of which I've also tried.
How can I get this to work?
Or is there any other way to get this photo slideshow w/music onto the DVD without loss of quality? It's not a long slideshow or a large file, so I'm baffled why the quality gets so bad when I try to burn it directly to a DVD. I followed steps I found in this community that said to publish the project to the Media Browser in the Large format and then import it into iDVD. Sounded like a good idea, but now I can't get it onto the DVD because of the error message (Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets).
Thanks for any help!

Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Error Message when saving a scan with Officeject Pro L7555

When the drive for the printer goes to save a scanned picture or document to Word2007 I get the message: An error occured saving the images to the chosen file location. The extended error information is: 8,[(6,1015,-2147220489)]. Printer scans the picture or document without any problems, the error message occurs when the driver saves to Word2007. I have been scanning pictures and documents and saving them to Word2007 without any problems just before this error message occured. When I use Word2007 separately everything works fine.
I am using Officejet Pro L7555 with the latest driver for this printer and Windows 7.
Thanks for the help.

Hi there sciteacher32,
This seems like a software problem lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!
