Error, can't write to temp

Hello,
On a Mac with Creative Cloud, when I try to install any application I get this error message :
Installation failed
Error, can't write to temp..

Iozo the next step would be to try a new local administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties. Are you receiving any other strange behavior under your current User account? I would think you would be seeing errors much more often if you were unable to write to the temporary directory.
Another option is that you may want to look at the security software you are using. Perhaps it is attempting to prevent our installers from writing to the temporary directory. This could explain while your file permissions are correct but you still receive the same error.

Mail Server Error: Fatal error: can't write proc file

I am a novice with OS X Server. It has been running fine for months but now I am having trouble. I get the following error log in SA:
Dec 3 19:19:24 MasterControl imap[1761]: Fatal error: can't write proc file
Dec 3 19:19:25 MasterControl imap[1763]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/imap/db' failed: Permission denied

The drive has lots of space left on it.
Also in the maintenance accounts section, it states for every user there is an unknown mailbox path in the mailbox store.
Any help would be appreciated.

I rechecking the situation, the drive is showing that it is totally full. Its a 60 gig drive that yesterday had 10 gigs on it...now it is full. Not sure where the other 50 came from or where they are. I've just deleted some programs and the drive is still showing full.

Error: Can't write: C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx

When i install Flash 10, there was a error message showing "Can't write: C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx". I chose to ignore, installation can be completed but i still can't view any Flash file. I tried every steps showing in Adobe Flash Player Support Center to troubleshoot the issues, but i can't go any where. Will anyone know what's the problem and how i can install the Flash player on my laptop? I am using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. Thanks heaps!

Is your Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?
Can you try to download this installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe, save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer - do you get the same message?

Can't write to temp directory

hi! i'm trying to install Oracle9i enterprise edition on a Windows XP Pro system. once i click setup, it gives me a message saying that the installer can't write to the temp directory?!
on checking the temp directory, i found that it's marked as read only, and there's no way i can't uncheck it, it just keeps coming back?!! even if i create a new folder and specify it as the temp directory, it is the same.
is this a problem with the Oracle installer or windows? cos i'm installing other softwares(from other vendors) and it's okay.
i am already having the full computer administrator rights.
thx.

Can I somehow disable DM's awareness of the source control?That's in "Preferences>Extensions" - disable versioning support there. Still I won't recommend to save it over existing design - existing directories will be deleted including svn directories. It's safer to save the content in another directory and copy it back to versioned directory; also files that have older date should be removed from versioned folders.

Hi ,
Thanks a lot for your reply.I will agree with your point if i face the issue on all the passive database copies residing on the DR site .But here i am facing this issue only on the DB copies that have the large no of mailboxes and the other passive databases
are not facing the mentioned issue.
At Same time please read all the comments in the below mentioned blog which says that the mentioned issue is an BUG in exchange 2013 CU4 and it was resolved in CU5 .Then my second suspection would be on the network side .If i wanted to pin point that
the issue is residing on network side then i need to ensure it is not an BUG in exchange 2013 CU4.

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...

Error while relocating (Can't write file (no space)) - Help please

I have been having trouble relocating master files since upgrading to Leopard. The problem doesn't seem to affect only Aperture. I can happen when using Finder or another application to move files from one drive to another. Other types of files don't seem to be affected, just my library of image files.
The copy operation runs for a while then hangs up. The application doing the copy reports an error that that's the end. Aperture gives this error message: Error while relocating (Can’t write file (no space)). The Finder reports plenty of available space on the destination drive!
I remember seeing a thread--but can't find it now--about a problem with certain xmp metatdata embedded into files causing problems with file operations.
Hoping for a solution!

It's possible that you might have a corrupt file. Have you tried to copy different files on to the destination drive? If those files copy fine, then narrow down the offending file by copying less images at a time.

Windows error msg: "Can not write to drive G: Joe's iPod"

Halfway thru the download process (1780 songs) from itunes to my ipod I get a windows error msg:
"Can not write to file G: Joe's ipod. All the data has been lost. Check for an error on your computer or network."
Getting the error msg: " Can not write to drive G: Joe's ipod. All data has been lost, your computer or network may have failed."
"Windows/ My computer" shows my ipod as drive G: and itunes starts up properly when I plug my ipod into my firewire port. About halfway thru the download (1780 songs) the transfer from itunes to my ipod stops and I get the above error message. (Never worked with USB). I am not on a network.
According to tech supt, I have:
-Installed Service Pack 2,
-Restored ipod to factory settings
-Installed update 5.0.1. Everything worked fine last Feb with the version 4 of itunes when I first loaded everything up.
Have tried to reinstall version 4, but no luck.
My ipod charges fine thru the firewire cable.
Any ideas?? Thanx anyone.

Joe,
I am having the same problem, did you ever solve it, please email me at [email protected] with any help
Thanks

Can't write to HD, must reboot, error -50

It's happened four times in three months. Suddenly the Mac can't write to the hard disk (error -50) and I have to reboot. I have to close all open programs with errors because they can't write their configuration files. Recent email mail be lost. I can copy a file from the primary hard disk to another internal hard disk, but I can't duplicate a file on the primary hard disk.

I'm not sure this helps, as the disk is not an iDisk or WebDav, it's just the internal hard disk. Also, I did a Carbon Copy Clone yesterday and it's set to repair permissions before a clone, so permissions were corrected 24 hours before the most recent failure. That said, Disk Utility did report the following issues today:
New permissions:
./Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
./Library/ColorSync/Profiles
./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util
New uid:
./private/var/at/jobs.
./private/var/at/spool.
Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/install.log
Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/wtmp

Solaris 10 UX:lp: ERROR: No space to allocate temp files.

Hello,
Can someone help me with a solution for the following problem:
UX:lp: ERROR: No space to allocate temp files.
TO FIX: Clean up disk, or try again later.
when attempt to print a file. lpsched occasionally appears to go into a loop, repeatedly adding the message "Failed to open a print service file (No such file or directory)." to /var/lp/logs/lpsched.
The root file system includes enough free space and
/tmp also. The files to be printed are a few kb.
Running lpshut and lpsched fixes the problem temporarily.
lpsched writes " build info: 01/21/05:15:38:16" to
/var/lp/logs/lpsched when it starts.
Addition information:
When the error occur I see the the /var/lp/logs/request that the line
"F /var/spool/lp/tmp/hostname/659-1" has changed to
"F /var/spool/lp"

As far as I know /tmp is by default a subset of the swap, so swap and /tmp are being allocated from the same pool.
One option for our is to monitor df every second on /tmp during your print attempt. To see how it fares.

Windows Server 2012 VSS error "The system writer is missing"

Hello All,
I have a HP server that I have just installed Server 2012 standard, SQL Server 2012 and Sharepoint 2013.
When I try to take bare metal backup I get the error: "The system writer is missing", I have tried the backup as the local admin and domain admin.
The backup will only work if I decide to back up C:, once I select "Bare Metal" or "System State" the backup fails.
I have tried this solution: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734021.aspx but have not had any luck yet.
When I run the command "vssadmin list writers" I can not see "System Writer" listed.
How can I add/turn on the System Writer?

Hi,
The system writer fails due to the fact that the trusted installer & system accounts are missing permissions to files in the directory %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\.
To resolve this issue, please run the following commands from an administrative elevated Command Window:
CD c:\windows\system32
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\* /a
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "BUILTIN\Users:(RX)"
For more information, please also refer to the following links:

I can't write to my Drobo

I have a new iMac (like this):
I am trying to connect the Drobo that I used to use with my Windows Computer. It has 4 drives @ 3TB each, and the whole drive is over half full, so I am not terribly interested in the cost that it would take to "back up" that whole disk pack. It took some shenanigans (reboots of both the drive and the computer; disconnections, and reconnections; fiddling around with MAC Disk Utility) to get it to show up in Finder at all. I still have issues with it unmounting and needing to remount it, but that's not my main issue.
THE REAL PROBLEM:
Though I can get the Drobo to show up in finder, and I can read from it, I can't write to it. Based on some earlier searching I tried this terminal command, which helped it to show up in finder, but didn't seem to affect it's being read-only:

This thread suggested I try a couple additional Terminal Commands, which I will post the results of here:

Another user who had run these commands and posted the results, seemed to have been missing an EFI partition on their external drive and was asked to run this command and post results. But the thread with that user dies there. Here are my results of this command:

Can anyone help me with a next step to make this drive read/writeable?

Turns out that the Drobo needs to be plugged straight into computer. I had it via hub. Though it has worked for the past couple weeks in this configuration, the new update pushed it over the edge, I guess. Plugged in directly and working fine.

Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "foo" ...}

I have a lot of files in Corel Painter 8's RIFF format. I want to write a script that opens a file and somehow forces Corel Painter 8 to save the file as a GIF. GUI scripting may be some help with the latter; now I am concentrating on finding RIFF files and opening them in Corel Painter 8.
I have a script that does a depth-first search of the folders starting at some root folder, using the Finder application to do the file-system stuff. It creates a list with
set docs to every document file of pages_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
as it loops through folders it adds to the list like this:
set more_documents to every document file of a_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
set docs to docs & more_documents
My naîve mental model is that docs is a list of document-file objects. Next I have a loop that attempts to strip out files for which a GIF file already exists (and is no older than the RIFF document). This works by deleting non-matching items like so:
if not isgifneeded then
set docs to items 1 thru (i - 1) of docs & items (i + 1) thru (length of docs) of docs
end if
Finally it tries to open one of the files in Corel Painter 8 using the Finder:
open item 1 of docs using "Corel Painter 8"
This does not work. I get an error message
Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "bar" of folder "foo" of folder "blah" of folder "pdc" of folder "Users" of startup disk, ... }."
It lists all of the files. (The error message appears in a sheet that extends off the bottom of the screen!) They are identified in the message as document-file objects. The curly braces are, I believe, the AppleScript notation for a list. I expect to be able to obtain the first element of a list with ‘item 1 of xs’. My assumption is that the Finder’s open command would expect a document file object, or at least would be able to cope with being asked to open a document. What am I missing here?
PowerBook 12" without mini-DVI Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Damian and welcome to Apple Discussions!
One suggestion: try
tell application "Finder" to open item 1 of docs
(without 'using "Corel Painter 8"')
As far as the Finder is concerned, "Corel Painter 8" is just a string of characters. And telling the Finder to open a file is just the same as double-clicking it: the Finder knows which app to use - as long as these are native Corel Painter 8 docs.
Hope this helps,
H
