Could not save image, write busy

I have an iPod touch (4th generation). Every time I try to save an image, it doesn't save or show up in my photo album. I tried to save a photo from a photography app and it still did not save and a message popped up saying "Could not save image; Write busy". I have tried deleting some photos, thinking there may not be space for any more, but it has not worked. Screen shots won't even save.
Anyone know what this means or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Could not save because write access was not granted.

Hi
I use lightroom 4 whit photoshop CS6 when I send any file from my NAS server whit LR4 to PS6 when I want save it take "Could not save because write access was not granted" .
But I didn't have this problem whit LR3.6 and PS5.
I use mac os x 10.7.4

This always happens to me on the NAS on LR3 and LR4. If the file is local, no problem. But on the NAS it has issues with permissions. For me it says the file is in use and can't be overwritten. I'm trying a new drive today with a differnet filesystem (HFS+). Maybe that will work better.

10.7.2 Photoshop Could not save because write access was not granted. (To a server)

After MacOS 10.7.2 update Photoshop CS5 files are not saving when opened directly from an Apple AFP Server (10.5.8). Error dialog: Could not save "file name" because write access was not granted. If canceled, the file disappears from the server. Worked fine in 10.7.1. Anyone else have this problem? Help.

I have been working on this for the last few days. I'm getting the Could not save "file.psd" because write access was not granted. error when I open a file from my Leopard server.
I have a variety of machines in the office that I have been using to test with. It seems that the server understands who the files 'owner' is, not only by visually getting info, but with the command line, manually checking permissions. The workstations connecting to the server are in various states of confusion based on their OS. Some show the owner correctly (Leopard OS), while others (Snow Leopard and Lion) show (_unknown) as the owner. The lack of understanding of sho the file owner is seems to be the culprit, but I can't fogire out how to address it, as it's not a permission issue in my thought, rather an issue with the workstations and their OS.
I will say that intil about 2 weeks ago, we didn't have this problem. So I wonder if there has been an Apple pdate that changes something that could be causing this.
How this manifests itself, and is a real nightmare waiting to happen is when working on files from the server. I open Photoshop to edit and save a file on a Leopard machine, the files saves fine. When I do the exact same thing on Snow Leopard or Lion machine, I get Could not save "file.psd" because write access was not granted. The files disappears and I have to save again to save it. When I go back to the Leopard machine to open the file, it opens and saves just fine.
As a test, I cleared my keychains on the Lion and Snow Leopard machines, but that didn't help.
Has anyone been able to figure out anything on this so far?

Could not save because write access was not granted (Mac OS)

I keep getting the above error when working off of my xserve in photoshop. It is new in CS5 which we have recently upgraded to. Several people at my office are getting it. Sometimes it displays a random name with afp in front of it (I assume it is the temp name when photoshop is swapping out the new file for the old file.) It only seems to happen with psd and psb files. I have write access to the volume in question and it doesn't matter if I am the only one accessing the folder or not. I can save as and it seems to work; but it does delete the file.
Very frustrating. Anybody have any ideas? My IT guys are struggling with it, and one of them used to work on the Flash team as well as at Apple.

The following shots are of test files from a production server running Xinet Fullpress, I mention the extremeZIP article because it is the only seemingly solidly documented article on an issue that quite a few people seem to be having.
So I ran some tests to recreate the problem, because if it can't be recreated it's not a problem in the IT world I know because I am in the IT Dept at an advertising agency here in Chicago administrating over a 130 Macs… so that aside, here's a long winded run down of the tests
I've posted screenshots at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/116782194976328390062/PhotoshopFileSavingIssue?authkey=Gv1sRgC MK3xpaVrIfFgAE
And a movie of a Save action stuck attempting to save to .afpDeleted file while the source file is not on the server:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FgmaaPamvc
These are unlisted galleries and videos and will be removed when no longer needed
2 machines are used for the test
Machine #1 is running OS X 10.6.4 and is browsing the folder with Finder
machine #2 also 10.6.4 with CS5 is saving to the same file at the moment computer #1 is browsing it with Finder and generating a preview
Most times, the file is deleted and replaced, Finder will "kick you out" of the folder when the file is resaved, or other times show no preview, the timing needs to be precise (yet we have users who aren't trying this on purpose at all and manage to have this happen to them!).
When a write error does occur sometimes it says:
A)
"Could not save "name" because write access was not granted" with the correct name used and the files remains.
B)
"Could not save "name" because write access was not granted" with the correct name used and the original file is gone but a .afpDeletedxxxxxxxx file is found in the directory via Terminal
C)
"Could not save "name" because write access was not granted" with the name .afpDeletedxxxxxxxxxx used and the original file is gone although the .afpDeleted file is found via terminal, it can be copied to a name that Finder will not hide, but it's hidden flags are set and 'chflags nohidden' needs to be run for it to appear in Finder
In scenario C, Photoshop will attempt to save to the .afpDeleted name with using Save even though the document name is being displayed properly in the Photoshop window. Using lsof it can be seen that Photoshop have the resource fork in use (only after the 2nd save attempt though), closing all open documents will still have this file in use, only upon quitting will it not be.
I wish I had taken a look at the .afpDeleted flags to see if it was locked or not during this, but lsof results of it being in use is pretty weird!
So here's some more puzzling evidence, thanks for your help.

Could not Save As because write access was not granted

I get an Error Message every time I try to Save As my Image after working with them on my iMac why?
here the Message I get it: Could not Save As because write access was not granted,I try both JPG & PSD.Thanks

You could start by repairing permissions with Disk Utility and go over the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance etc.)?
Edit: Of course you could also manually check the permissions for the file, the folder, the folder the folder resides in etc. (File > Get Info in the Finder).
And just to make sure: You are saving to a local volume and not across a network?

In a finder window highlight and right click the folder you are trying to save to and select Get Info. In the window that opens look at the bottom to see if you have Read/Write permissions. If you don't click the Plus sign and add your Admin Username to the list and give it full Read/Write permissions.
Open Disk Utility and on the First Aid tab select Repair Permissions and let it run.

It seems you lack the rights to change the file, so you may want to repair permissions.
Do you have administrator rights?

Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted

Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted. The users are pulling the files from a Mountain Lion server. They all have read\write access. If they try to save the file in the same directory they get that error but they can save it anywhere else on the sharepoint. If they save it in another directory then reopen it make a change and do a save as they can save it back to the original directory. Has anyone else come across this same issues

It is an enterprise solution. I just do not see why you cant save directly to the server. It seems to get weird errors. Some Adobe stuff saves fine on the server and some of it doesnt. It seems Adobe related. The permissions on the server are set correctly so it isnt a permission error

Could not save "blablablabla" becuse write access was not granted, this users have full permissions.

We have several MAC OSX 10.9.3 users that use adobe CC and then having trouble save your files on the network the error is Could not save “blablablabla” because write access was not granted, this users have full permissions.

Anybody Knows how to fix "Could not save file because write access was not granted?

I need a help how to fix message "Could not save file because write access was not granted"

Hi Silkrooster,
The operating System that I am using is an Imac Os x10.8.5.

Could not save "IMG_5116.psd" because write access was not granted.

"Could not save “IMG_5116.psd” because write access was not granted." i keep on getting this error message why/?????

nimrod levy,
It seems like a permission issue. Grant 'write and read' permission to the file.
MAC : Right click on the file > click on "Get Info"
scroll to the bottom "Permissions" > unlock it > set permission as "Write and read" to all the users.
Win: Right click on the file > "Properties".
Uncheck "Attributes: Read only".
Go to 'Security' tab > 'Edit'
Give full control check all in "Alloy" column; uncheck all from deny column if any to all the users.

"Could not save a copy because the file is already in use..."

I have read previous discussions of this issue, but nobody suggested a solution. Sometimes when I use the Save As command to save an open file with the same name as an existing Photoshop file that is not currently open, I get the dreaded message: "Could not save a copy because the file is already in use or was left open."
When this happens, I have to save my open file using a different filename, then change the name in the Finder after manually deleting the original file with that name. This happened occasionally in Photoshop CS3, and is now happening more frequently in CS4. If no one can offer a solution, can someone please tell me if there is a way to officially submit a bug report? The simple truth is that Photoshop costs way too much for a well-known problem like this one to be hanging around version after version. Adobe really needs to fix this and I'd like to tell them so. Thanks!

I've run into this and I'm convinced it's not Adobe. Whenever I've gotten around the problem it's often something from Apple that got in the way.
I use a simple workaround when Finder/QuickLook isn't letting go of the file. First use a free utility like TinkerTool or Onyx to turn on the Quit command in the Finder. Whenever the Finder gives you trouble, if closing the Finder window in question doesn't solve it, just do the ol' Command-Q. It's a little faster (and maybe safer?) than force-relaunching the Finder. This usually releases files for me when all else fails; it also often cures the annoying "can't eject the volume because it's in use" messages when you've already quit every program you can find.
There's the question of why Photoshop and not others; I'm not an engineer but I think the sheer size of Photoshop files is a factor. In one instance I noticed that quicklookd was using a lot of RAM, and QuickLook has been implicated by an earlier post in this thread. It isn't unusual for a Photoshop file to be very large compared to other types of documents. It's possible that when QuickLook hits a large Photoshop file, and it does its normal thing of generating a big preview for it, it could get tied up reading that huge image long enough to block another program. Sometimes it seems like QuickLook just hangs on them. When it happens, you can try looking at Activity Monitor to see if something like QuickLook, Spotlight, or some other program is using an unusual amount of CPU or RAM.
Apple Mail (at least in 10.5) is another major offender by the way. If you attach a file to Apple Mail it will hang on to it as "open" even after you remove the attachment. Other programs will not be able to write to the file that was attached or formerly attached. Nothing short of quitting Apple Mail will make it let go of the file. You'll notice it when you delete a JPEG, PDF, Word doc (definitely not just Photoshop) attachment because you realize you need to make a change and attach it again. Attempting to export an updated one over the old one is blocked until Apple Mail is quit.
In my experience I think what Chris says is true.

Mac: Could not save PREFERENCES because .....

Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
I have just installed CS5 as an upgrade to my CS3 on my MAc Pro that is running Leopard OS X 10.5.8. The electronic download and installation went very well. I could open CS5 and did work on editing some images, and all seemed to be working fine, until I quitted Photoshop CS5. I got the above message and similar ones for my Workspace changes. The Photoshop CS5 program did not allow me to save any changes in my Preferences, custom Brushes or Workspace.
I have full read/write privileges to my computer and I could not find any file or folder, related to Adobe CS5, that is LOCKED. I have never encountered this 'insufficient privileges' problem with any of my other program installation, including CS3 and lately the Lightroom 3. Please help!!

Hi Slau104,
I had the same problem, and have just found the answer elsewhere on this forum.
It has worked perfectly for me. Here it is…
Just go to Users\Library\Preferences\Adobe Photoshop CS5\ and change the permissions on the folder. I just changed the "Everyone" variable to "Read & Write" and Photoshop started up without issue.
