CS3 Education Version on Mac_Scratch Disk Error Message

- Last time I had this error message, I clicked yes, and when my project opened all of my media in my VERY LARGE Premiere project became unlinked. It was a nightmare relinking everything. How do I get around this?
- My theory as to what caused this was that I reset all of my scratch disk preferences (media cache, waveform, etc) to go onto an external harddrive instead of my main harddrive on my Macbook Pro which it was originally set for. For some reason it doesn't seem to be able to remember that it was set to the external.
HELP!!
Thanks.

What is the location that you have chosen for your Scratch Disks? I normally locate these in the Project hierarchy, and obviously on the same disk as the Project.
As Harm mentions, if one has unlinked Assets, it is a sign that the original location has changed.
As for your Scratch Disk location being Write Protected, we'll need more info, from the question in the first paragraph.
Good luck,
Hunt

Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

No Disk error Messages in PSE8

On and off I keep getting the following error message when I switch between Edit and Orgainzier in PSE8
and sometime other times. Photoshop ElementsOrgainzer.exe-No Disk There is no disk in the
drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4.
I have to hit Cancel 3-4 times to get rid of it.
What is this and how do I stop it? Tks. ALan

I have recently experienced this message repeatedly in PSE6 running on Vista. I believe after either saving a file from PSE6 to a floppy in drive A or opening a file in PSE6 from an SD memory card in drive J. Resolved by recreating both situations then ensuring that i used photoshop to open files from and save files to the resident C drive before removing the floppy disk from drive A and using the 'safely remove hardware' function in Vista to confirm that it was safe to remove the SD card.
Following this procedure I have experienced no more 'no disk error messages'

Disk error message in Organizer

When I open Organizer in Acrobat Pro 9, I get a No Disk error message:
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Devise\Harddisk\DR1" with buttons to Cancel, Try Again, Continue.
If I cancel [and I have to cancel twice for each error message, the message changes to ...Harddisk2\DR2 through to Harddisk4\DR4.
I always get there in the end, but how can I stop the error messages appearing in the first place? It's incredibly irritating!
There are no preferences for Organizer, and nothing I can see in the Acrobat preferences that would help.

I'm surprised PS even runs on that computer although of course 5.0 LE is pretty old.
A 165 MB file may just be too much for it.
How can you "set your c drive to 4096MB"? Do you mean Paging file?
We need someone with a long memory to chime in, but you do need to clarify what you are doing.

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

"Missing Disks" Error Message - Unable to open FCP

Every time I tried to open FCP, a "missing disks" error message shows up and prevents me from opening the application. It says, "To preserve the integrity of the date used by Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following path(s):" and it says "Macintosh HD is offline." There are two options for the error message, "Check Again" or "Reset Scratch Disks." When I click "Check Again," nothing happens. When I click, "Reset Scratch Disks", it takes me to a "Scratch Disks" window, which shows, "9.8GB on Macintosh HD is offline." I click "OK", but it only takes me back the same "missing disks" error message. What should I do to solve this error and open FCP?
Thanks in advance.

Hi -
If you are mid-project, then first I would find your project file and make a duplicate by Control-clicking on it, and selecting Duplicate. You can rename that new file so it is easy to remember. Once that is done, you have a protection back up of your project file so that whatever happens, you can recover back to this point in your project by opening the duplicated file.
Selecting (or Re-Selecting) a Scratch Disk does not affect what has been done in a project's past, it will only affect what FCP will do once it is launched and where it will place media and renders as you go forward.
A bigger concern/interest to me is why the disk Macintosh HD is offline, since Macintosh HD is usually the name of the internal system disk on your computer.
Have you renamed your internal hard disk (either intentionally or unintentionally)?
Do you have external disks connected to your computer?
Have you installed any new software - like Snow Leopard, or Fusion?
If you have had the disk Macintosh HD selected as your scratch disk all throughout your project up to this point, it is likely that the disk Macintosh HD has your captured footage and renders. So . . . if it is off-line as a scratch disk, once you reset your scratch disk to an available drive and open your project, it is likely that the project will show that all your media, which it previously associated with the missing disk is offline as well.
If that is the case, you will need to reconnect your media and re-render your renders. This can be done by selecting your offline clips and Control clicking on one of them and selecting Reconnect Media . . .
*If you are not feeling confident about proceeding, I would recommend a trip to an Apple store to get someone to walk you through the process.*
Hope this helps.

"Can't read or write to disk" error message

hi...
got my husband a 16g nano and i'm trying to sync his songs. i have the newest version of itunes installed. it put almost half of the songs on the nano and all of a sudden itunes has an error that says something about "can't write to nano. disk is not readable or writeable." i can view the nano contents, but i can't add to it and it will not let me sync it anymore.
does anyone have any suggestions? thanks!

thanks jason,
i looked at the tips page you suggested and i tried it again on my new laptop and it still won't work. i'm going to try to restore it and then put it on the laptop again, hopefully that will work.
the odd thing is it will start to sync and it comes up with the error message about half way through syncing (half the songs do make it to the ipod.) why can't it sync the whole way?? i'm perplexed.

Importing CD - No Disk Error Message When Ejecting CD

Every since I upgraded my itunes to the latest version, I am getting an error message telling me there is no cd every time I eject my cd after importing. It gives me an option to retry, continue and cancel. No matter what I pick it does not recognize the next cd and my windows cursor is stuck in a rotating hourglass position even after I end the itunes program! Can anyone please shed some light? Thank you!

Thanks Bob! My problem was that I was following advice from elsewhere on the internet that said I should burn a DVD in UDF format when in fact just burning it using disk utility in ISO made it work. Thank you so much!

How to stop receiving "AdobePremiereElements.exe - No Disk" error message at start-up

I upgraded from Premiere Elements 9 to 13 at Adobe. Install went without error, but each time I call up the program a window pops up entitled "AdobePremiereElements.exe - No Disk" with the following text within the window: "There is no disk in the device. Please insert a disk into drive \Drive\Harddisk1\DR1." I can eventually get this window to remove after repeated attempts, and the program seems to be running fine. Would appreciate knowing how to stop such nonsense and remove the annoyance. Thanks.

jimp
Thanks for the good news that the OldFilm.AEX file is gone and no more No Disc error message.
To update 13 to 13.1, you need to use an opened project's Help Menu/Updates.
Have you done that, and the message was that you were up to date already?
To check what version you have
Premiere Elements Editor. Help Menu/About Adobe Premiere Elements. The screen that then displays should show 13.1 if updated from 13 to 13.1.
That Help Menu/Updates location should let you take are of the Elements Organizer updating from 13 to 13.1.
Nonetheless, you can check on Elements Organizer Help Menu/Adobe Elements Organizer to assure that the screen that displays shows 13.1 instead of 13.
Any questions, please let me know.
Best wishes

Windows - No Disk error message when connecting Ipod to computer

I recently connected my Ipod to the Computer as I have done for the last year and I am now getting an error message reading: "Windows - No Disk". It then asks me to insert a disk. I cannot cancel out, continue or retry which are the three choices. I eventually have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to close out Itunes. Can anyone help? Thank You.
Dell XPS Windows 2000

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

"Windows - No Disk" error message on file transfer

IR1. Now, when initiating File Transfer operation with any workstation, up

"Windows - No Disk"
"Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c"

If I click "Continue" 4 times, file transfer starts up successfully.
Any ideas about how to get rid of this annoying message?

"No disk" error message

I finished an iDVD project, saved, and hit the "Burn" button.
I insert a blank DVD-R when prompted, close the drive, and after a few seconds get a message that the drive can't locate a disk and to please insert a blank DVD-R. I put it in again, making sure it's sitting flat in the tray, and get the same message.
I've tried with several blank disks, same message. I exited iDVD and tested a DVD in the drive, and it played fine. I also successfully burned a disk in this drive last week (same set of DVD-R disks, earlier version of same project).
Since I've heard DVD burning can be really memory intensive, I moved some old iMovie projects to the trash and emptied trash, now have 130+ G free.
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Forgot to say: I'm using iMovie/iDVD 4 with latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime.

'No Disk' error message on Photoshop startup

Recently I have been receieving the following error message when Photoshop CS6 x64 srtarts up on my Windows 7 machine. Ps resides on my SSD.
I don't always get the message but when I press X, Cancel, Try Again, or Continue the message repeats until finally Ps starts. I'm not sure what drive \Device\Harddisk3\Dr3 is supposed to mean. Does anyone have a clue what Ps is complaining about?

I realize this is a mighty old thread, but I've recently had the same issue with Illustrator CSS 2014, and this is the only thread I could google that dealt with it.
I scratched my head for a while on this, but I think I figured out the issue. At least I think I figured it out on my end. The error comes from the "recently opened" menu as far as I can tell. I had an old external hard-drive that I was browsing some old work on. I unplugged it when done and continued to go along with my newer work the next day. When I attempted to save my newer work in Illustrator, I got the "no disk" message several times, but powered through it with "try again" till it saved.
I'm thinking the error is just the system bumping the file that I had recently opened and now cannot locate slowly down and eventually off the "recently opened" menu. Not sure why Windows is smart enough to bypass this error sometimes and not others with most portable drives, but perhaps its an issue with how old this drive was, or perhaps because I did not properly eject the drive. Networked drives being connected and not connected may cause a similar issue. Not sure.
