Cs5 camera raw: "this file could not be created" problem

When I'm attempting to save raw files in any format (jpeg, dng, tiff, etc) to a different directory from where they're intially opened from I get "this file could not be created" error. It saves fine if goes to the same directory where the file has been opened from.
The problem started happening for no apparent reason. There have been no changes to the system (no new installs, etc), except for recent adobe updates, but I can't find any other users complaining about this problem. This happens on admin and all other accounts. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hm, perhaps a folder closer to the root than the folder you have selected has a permissions issue.
Is the folder you're trying to use rooted on the hard drive (i.e., does the path begin with a drive letter)?
Keep in mind that whether you are an Administrator or not, with Windows UAC enabled the app is normally not running as an Administrator. That can affect permissions. You might want to either try running the app via Run As Administrator or temporarily disable Windows UAC to see if this is an issue.
How are you starting Camera Raw? From within Photoshop or Bridge?
Also, do you have the latest Camera Raw update?

I am an absolute newcomer to Lightroom. I have downloaded images from camera (OMD EM1) and divided them into folders. Some folders work ok in Develop mode. With other folders I get the words "This file could not be found". What should I do

As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found". What should I do?

may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3 and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files
The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
. The tiff files just LOOK better in LR after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed

CV02N Error in Windows 7: This file could not be found!

After uploading a file to the DMS, we could usually double click the file name and the file will be opened automatically in WORD.
This was succeeded in Windows XP.
But in Windows 7 environment, after clicking the file name, the WORD is started, no file opened. It says: This file could not be found!.
Is there any solution about this issue? Thanks!
BTW, I have tried GUI 720. But the issue remained the same.

Now what? You've imported the photos, do whatever you want with them.
You should really consider reading or watching some basic tutorials about Lightroom, such as

S4BB Audiobook won't work - this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again

I bought the french audiobook J'accuse from S4BB and it simply doesn't work. I sought help from Blackberry and got the message that BB doesn't support 3rd party apps. I contacted S4BB, who by the way says they have a warranty on their apps, and got the email back that "for the issues and refund you would need to contact BlackBerry as the only way you can download to the playbook is through App World we do not have access to their system."
I have deleted the app and re-installed, uninstalled and re-installed, searched permissions (not listed there), and it simply does not work. It says "this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again".
I put a warning comment on blackberry app world that the app doesn't work and that support is hard to get, and Blackberry has removed both the comment and the very low rating I have this. I found this to be the most disturbing part.
Is there anything I can do to either get this app to work, or get a refund on this app?
Also, why was this comment and rating deleted - this seems to be contrary to the nature of comment sections on apps and does not do a service to your customers who may download this app which doesn't work?

Try right clicking on the installer and select run as administrator.

"original file could not be found" problem

Please help.
I have a home network of 4 PCs. One PC is being used somewhat like a server ie. all of our MP3s are on that PC in a shared folder. Somehow (my kids won't admit to it) the Microsoft firewall was modified not to allow file sharing. As a result, iTunes on my wife's PC became disassociated with the files on our "server" PC. I corrected the fire wall problem and my wife's PC can now see the shared folder but everytime she clicks on a song she gets the "original file could not be found" error with the exclamation point.
She has well of a 2,000 songs in her library and does not want to individually find (reattach) each one. Also, she does not want to reimport all of the MP3s into her library because a lot of the MP3s are music that she does not have in her library and does not want there.
My 2 kids' PCs have the same problem and of course their iTunes libraries have a different mix of music from the "server" PC.
Any ideas? TIA

hmm, did you change it yourself without restarting iTunes?
Because, when my external HD is not turned on before I start iTunes, I get all the ! not found which never fails to make me gasp in dismay.
But then I just close iTunes, start the exHD, re-open iTunes and everything is OK.
Tell me, do you happen to be in the practice of backing up the itl and xml files?
What are the iTunes library files?
If you have saved copies of those, you could just put them back in place, snip-snap, problem solved.

CS5 (camera raw 8.7.1) not reading Nikon d810 NEF files

I just purchased Nikon d810. I have CS5. All updates are current and I've downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.1 but Photoshop/Bridge still can not read NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

If you have Windows, go into the Control Panel > All Items > Autoplay
Uncheck Autoplay (I keep it off because I don't want Windows doing anything automatically, I like to make that decision).
Next to the Pictures category, set the drop-down menu to "Take no Action".
Then when you insert a SD card, Bridge would see it under "Computer", but you would have to double-click to open it, and go to the folder that has the pictures.
One warning: Don't do any processing off an SD card. Make copies and put them in a folder on your hard drive. Too much can go wrong with flash memory and it's unwise to work off it or an external drive. You want backups of your valued photos.
I don't think Bridge CS5 auto-imports Photos from SD cards, so you are safe there.

VS 2010 This file could not be uploaded. The following error occured: External component has thrown an exception.

I just started getting this error message from my VS 2010 VB code, earlier this code ran without the error message. I suspect corruption since this error does not occur on another computer of mine. I tried repairing the installation of VS
2010 without results. Then I uninstalled VS 2010 and reinstalled it, but the error continues. The error message is not very definitive so I do not know how to proceed. I could provide the code, but it is rather lengthy and I don't get this error
with the VS 2010 installed on my laptop. So, I don't think my code is the issue. I would be very grateful for any suggestions you may care to offer for isolating and correcting this problem. Thank you. .......................Phil Hoop

Hi Phil,
What’s the template type of the project? Is it a BI project? Based on my research, the issue may be related to the following factors:
.NET Framework version of the project. If it targets .NET Framework 4.0 or higher, modify it to target .NET Framework 3.5 instead.
Debug or Release Configurations. If the project is set to Release Configurations, try to set it to Debug. For more information, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wx0123s5(v=vs.100).aspx
I noticed that you have asked another question in the asp .net forum, if the issue is not SQL Server BI project related, I suggest that you continue troubleshooting within the
thread in the asp .net forum.

Lightroom all of a sudden says "This file could not be found"?

This happened over night and I don't know what to do about it?

Photos aren't contained in the catalog, their locations and adjustment settings are, but the photos themselves are just on the hard-drive, somewhere. If something else, outside of LR deleted those photos or moved them, then LR wouldn't know that, and indicate they are missing.
Are the photos still on your hard-drive or not? And what is an example path where LR thinks they should be?
Are they in a different location on the hard-drive than they used to be?
When you Import photos into LR it remembers where they are, but if you do something to them outside of LR, not using LR's Folder Panel, then it will still expect them to be at the Import location, and if they are not, then you'll see question marks or exclamation points with a message about them not being where they originally were.
One mistake that could have been made, is that you imported photos into a LR catalog and that catalog remembers them one place, then you opened a new LR catalog and did a Move import, which would move them some other location and they'd be remembered in that second catalog correctly, but not in the first catalog, anymore. If you only have one LR catalog then this is probably not what happened.

"This file could not be copied" when consolidating media?

I'm trying to consolidate the media in a project. One of the songs I'm using in my project gives me this error message. I can't figure out how to solve it for the life of me... Help?

Bump. Help please? I would really like to be able to move this song out of the folder it is in.

"THIS FILE COULD NOT BE OPENED" Msg in new 1.1 install

Hi-
I just downloaded the 1.1 update. And even though I can SEE all the pics in my library, I get that message at the top of everyone of them? I've only had it a few minutes now but what's up with that?

> The interface of LR is so beautiful...is it possible that CS3 (I have CS2)
> will be upgraded to be like LR?
Bridge has taken on a bit of the LR look and feel:
http://www.macworld.com/2007/04/reviews/bridgecs3/index.php
There are a number of other apps (from other companies) that have also changed to be remarkably similar to Lightroom, but as we say only Lightroom provides the authentic Phil Clevenger experience (our UI designer):

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I guess.
> Are there any plans to do an archiving thing?
I can't speak to specific schedules or priorities, but as a part of the problem of managing a photographic workflow, I think archiving eventually needs to be something that Lightroom helps users manage more effectively.

'The file could not be created' - ACR v6.6

I see this problem has been around for literally years. This is for raw files from both Canon 5D mkII, and Nikon D300 cameras, and only when I select to save in a new location.
What is the fix?

Noel, I may come off frustrated (I am), but I do appreciate Richard and you at least responding. These two machines are the only two I haven't built myself in the last 15+ years. Box#1 is a Dell Insiprion 530 dual core intel, 2.8 ghz, box#2 is a HP 9300 quad core 2.66 ghz...both are from the same generation of machines (about 3.5 years old). Both have 6gb of ram, windows vista 64 bit OS "home premium", and service pack 2 installed. The drive the photos are stored on, and to which I am attempting to save them - are extneral drives which have permissions set to full control for everyone - from the root of the drive to as deeply nested a folder you can possibly imagine. I am the only "user" of both machines, and I have administrator privledges. I'd like to suggest some critical thinking be applied here.
1-In CSv4 (which is still installed) ACR NEVER generated this error, or any other error...in all versions through version v5.7 of ACR
2-When I installed CSv5 >version 5.1 update, and the ACR update to v6.6 I DID have ACR errors generated
No changes to the OS were done, only the upgrade to version CSv5.1 and ACR v6.6 were added to both machines. Photoshop CSv4 and it's proprietory ACR version continue to work properly. Since the ONLY changes to both machines are a newer version of Photoshop/Bridge/&ACR - It is a certainity that the problem lies with a conflict between the new CSv5.1 software, and the OS. I have read on these forums all the way back to CSv2 and many earlier versions of ACR about similar errors, with the similar response concerning persmissions. I have not encountered a single post where changing persmissions fixed ACR errors for a single person. If I remember correctly...the earlist date I saw was 2005...so this has been going on for 6+ years. I did take note that rolling back to earlier versions, and newer versions of ACR did fix this problem for a handful of people. I will stop posting before I am driven to ranting like Dinarius did above, but you should note that telling someone repeatedly to change their level of permissions to administartor - when they have repeatedly conveyed that they already have, and that they had always been in that state - is very irritating.
I will re-state what did work for me, but it is not a fix. I rolled back to ACR v6.2 - which has a different interface for navigating to the "new folder". It's obvious the problem lies with this new naviagtion panel in acr v6.6, because the display does not update, and it leaves the path blank. Whether it is ACR's coding that is at fault or the OS - I neither know nor care. Can either of you escalate this thread to someone in the department that writes this code to have a look see, please!
