Cannot open file for writing...

I keep getting this error...
Cannot open "filename" file for writing. Please check the output filename and file permissions (if it already exists) and then try again.
Not sure what is going wrong here. I have scoured the web and can't find a solution.
Running CS5 on a Mac.
Any help is appreciated!!

This might indicate a problem in AME CS5, but we'll need more information about the clip--and possibly a copy of it--before we can make that judgment.
If the clip plays on Computer X but not on Computer Y, that could indicate that X has a certain codec that's missing on Y.
What codec is the clip? What's the extension of the filename (which equates roughly to the type of wrapper)?
What are the origins of the clip? (e.g., is it straight off of a camera? or was it encoded by another program?)
Do you have AME 5.0.1 installed on both computers?

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

Hi all,
I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
"file" E212: Can't open file for writing
Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies
I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
There usual response is "its unsupported".
If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???

Error Opening File for Writing

I have a laptop running on Windows XP and I was having a really hard time running applications on Face Book. I kept getting a message to "kill pages" or "wait" for the program to respond. Most times it would eventually automatically "kill pages" and I am unable to use those apps. It's not only on Face Book either; some other pages will not run due to this problem. So I visited the Adobe web site and it said my version was out of date and that I needed to download the latest version. I did and now I am getting the error unable to open file for writing. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave\SwHelper_1166636.exe) I don't know if that matters or not.
I cannot download the latest version; I don't know what other information I can give about the laptop; I am now getting the message "A plug-in (Shockwave) isn't responding". Please help if you can.
Thank you for your time and help,

That is actually Shockwave Player.
So does this FB app actually require Flash Player or Shockwave Player?
Get Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Error opening file for writing when installing

I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
will not overwrite the existing file.
Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
use after uninstalling?
Any help is appreciated.
Dale

Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
PC even in Safe Mode.
At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
disabled in IE.
In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
- right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library

Hi,
We are using oracle 12 .0.4 on RHAS 4
I am trying to compile a .pll file with the following code
frmcmp_batch module=$AP_TOP/patch/115/sql/apacrndb.pls userid=apps/apps module_type=LIBRARY;
but it's returning the error
PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library
Thanks
Umair

Umair,
What is the issue about?
Usually, it would be required to run the pls files to recreate certain objects (mainly packages) in the database, and you run the pls file from SQL*Plus as apps/applsys user.
Please update the SR and confirm with Oracle Support what the action plan you need to follow to resolve the issue.

SAP Archive Link (Error in opening file for writing)

I am trying to export a file to a folder in the server using a logical path.
The logical path I am using is MARKETING_FILES. I have changed its physical mapping to 'G:\Segmentation_Exports\<FILENAME>'
I am scheduling the program as a background job. But it gets canceled throwing the following error.
SAP ArchiveLink (file G:\Segmentation_Exports\100AC-$100OFF_201105300730 could not be opened for writing)
The problem occurs only in production. In development and Quality servers the program works fine.
In production, when the mapping is changed back to default i.e., <P=DIR_GLOBAL>/<FILENAME>. the program works fine.
Suggestions to solving the issue??
Edited by: qwerty_m on May 30, 2011 9:55 AM

I would check the obvious things first ......
1) Does the directory "G:\Segmentation_Exports" exist on the Production server?
2) If so, does the SAP user have write access to the directory?
3) If so, was a directory inadvertently created with the same name as the output file?
You can also use transactions SM21 and ST22 for more information about the error.

D.

FRM-10043 Cannot open file: for large fmb files

We are using Forms 6i Patch 12
We are getting FRM-10043 in Forms Builder when the size of the FMB becomes greater than 1 Mb.
We have to revert to previous version and re-start coding till the error re-appears.
We have reached 4 Mb like this. Now, we are getting the same error at 4.4 Mb.
The size of this FMB may go upto 5 to 10 Mb.
So, we need a definite solution as otherwise it will be difficult to maintain this form.
The only check that we have regarding if the FMB is still usable is: Save the file and try to convert to FMT file. If successful, so far it has not failed to get reconverted to FMB and it gets opened too.
Regards,
Sanjiv

You can cut the fmb size in half by saving without the useless compiled code Oracle always stuffs into them. All you do is, just before saving, use the pull-down menu: Program, Find and Replace PL/SQL..., select your form, and change all semicolons to semocolons (;). Then save the form without compiling. This practice cleans up various problems in our forms here. Please report whether or not this works for you.
But you sure are getting some large forms... Do they have lots of canvases or what?.

How to avoid opening file for writing each time?

Hi!
I have real time data acquisition from a digitizer (NI PXI 5124, but it is not important for my question). Using several NI SCOPE examples I wrote a simple labview program that does the following things in a while loop: configures the digitizer, fetches data and display it in a waveform graph, calculates FFT and display it in a waveform graph, and while the “Save To TDMS File” button is pressed it writes data to a TDMS file. And it works almost fine and “almost” is because from time to time some data are not written to the file. I suppose that the reason is that I open and close the file each time. How can I open the file only once when the button “Save To TDMS File” becomes active and close it at the end, when the button “Save To TDMS File” becomes inactive? I had some ideas using local or global variables but I didn't’t manage to make them work.
Additionally, how can I make “File Path” control inactive while the “Save To TDMS File” is active?
Thanks!

You could save the button's value in a shift register. Then you can see if the value changed. If the value changed to TRUE, open the file and use a property node (Enabled) for the path control to disable it. If the value changed to FALSE, close the file and re-enable the path control. You will need to save the file reference in a shift register as well.

Dynamic Send Port : The FILE send adapter cannot open file C:\Temp for writing. Details: Access is denied.

Hi All,
We have requirement of using ESB toolkit and transforming incoming xml file to edi format. So, we are using ItinerarySelectReceiveXML pipeline for receiving the input from the input location and "EDISend" pipeline for transforming it into EDI and
send it to destination.
Now, the receive pipeline is picking up the file, but it is not processed and sent to destination.
And, we are getting an Access Denied error from Dynamic send port.
Error Description :
The FILE send adapter cannot open file C:\Users\Public\Temp for writing.
Details: Access is denied.
Any Immediate solutions/suggestions are appreciated...Thanks.
Anand

The difference between dynamic and static port would be send handler. For dynamic port, default send handler will be used and for static port the one configured on the port will be used, could you validate this configuration.
Also sometimes, administrative privileges are not "real" administrative privileges and company admins will have limited permissions on C Drive folders. Try writing to some other folder to isolate the issue.

IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."

Question, asked professionally
When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
Question, asked snarkily
Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?
Specs
iPhone 6 Plus (contract-free, 128 GB)
iOS 8.1.2
iMovie for IOS 2.1.1
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iMovie for Mac 10.0.6
Error Messages
iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
Frustration
Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
The year: 2015
Hours lost: Three Weeks
Total costs for both devices: $4,000
Background Details
I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
Likely Suspect
I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
Suggestions
I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
Resolutions
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

"Attempt to open locked file for writing, Result Code = -54" when importing

I get this error box when importing audio files into a logic session over my network.
+Attempt to open locked file for writing+
+Result Code = -54+
The finder is capable of copying the files over to the local machine, at which point I can successfully import them into my local logic session, but Logic is incapable of doing the same. Strange and annoying.
