Error 'CoverSize' during Blurb upload

I am trying to upload a book (small square / softcover / ProLine Uncoated, 34 pages) to Blurb. But during this (after the rendering of all the pages, after uploading of the cover and pages, during 'Waiting for Blurb Server Processing) the process stops with an 'CoverSize' error message. No additional information is given.
It happened in LR4 and still does in LR4.1. The cover of my book has one image in full spread, I have read images spreaded over two pages may result in error messages.
Has anyone encountered this as well?

I encountered the very same problem with a 68 page soft-cover book. Blurb tech support was adamant it was a LR problem. Adobe tech support was unable to provide any meaningful assistance. I finally resolved the problem by pursuing Blurb's recommendations of starting a complete new book . Before doing that, I first created a 20 page trial book (the minimum to upload to Blurb) with only one image and it successfully uploaded. That indicated the problem most likely was isolated to the complete book. I then changed the cover page only of the complete book leaving everything else as it was. It too successfully uploaded (The problem version had a two page spread cover whereas the successful one had separate images on each cover. I note this as others have suggested some issues with two page spreads).
The trial book should be the first effort as if successful, it will eliminate the need to follow Adobe's suggestions of: deleting and recreating LR preferences (that was to no avail); and uninstalling and reinstalling LR (one I elected not to do).

Problem: An error occured during the uploading process.

Hello! I've searched around but I am having difficulty finding a solution to this problem.
I am trying to upload videos through Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to YouTube, using the preset options in the share tab. This worked previously without issue, but then one day I continually ran into an error stating "Sorry, an error occured during the uploading process. Please try again later." However, it eventually started working. It is now a few weeks later, and I am having the very same issue. I am unable to upload to YouTube or any other service through the Share tab. Even loading the software itself, the opening splash screen is unable to grab my Adobe ID. It never stops "Gathering User Info..."
Steps I have tried:
Going to Edit -> Preferences -> Web Sharing and hitting the refresh button to update settings.
Checked router settings.
Enabled DMZ on router and linked it to this specific computer.
Rebooted PC and router, and tried updating the Web Sharing settings multiple times.
I honestly do not believe it to be a router issue, especially since it is currently in DMZ mode and I have had absolutely no trouble with any other software. This has continued to baffle me though, and finding help is difficult. Searches keep giving me encoding settings for YouTube videos, and few results pertain to this particular issue.
I am aware I could export the video normally and upload through YouTube that way, but on DSL, my upload speed is pretty terrible for a high quality video. The YouTube HD setting has been great for me in the past, as files are small but still look great online. I would really like to get it working again, both for ease and convenience for simple projects.
If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing a problem, I would be greatly appreciative of any advice. In regards to the project itself, there is no real editing being done at this point, as I am trying to eliminate any possibility of error elsewhere. I opened a new project, added a video clip and went directly to upload it, resulting in the error above.
I don't believe it matters in this situation, but just in case:
Windows 7
AMD Phenom II X4 820 - 2.80 GHz
6 GB RAM
Radeon HD 5880 1GB
Connecting through a Netgear WNDR3400 router, standard DSL connection.

Sorry, not seeing where to edit my original post.
Just wanted to add, that I am able to visit both the Photoshop.com website, as well as YouTube through my browser. So I am not being blocked somehow to those particular sites. It only seems to be through the software that I cannot connect to any of the online services to upload videos to.
Additionally, the only virus software running is Microsoft Security Essentials. It has never raised a flag before with this software or caused interference in the past. I do not use Norton or any other service which are known to interfere with programs often.
Just a quick example as well, pinging Photoshop.com through the command prompt shows I am getting through just fine. As you can see in this image though, it cannot seem to ever connect and grab my user information.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

PE9: YouTube "Error occur during the uploading"

I have uploaded over 50 videos to YouTube using PE9 and previous versions, but now - after 4 attempts - I get the same well-worn error message: "Sorry an error occur (sic) during the uploading process. Please try again later".
I use the Share facility that I always do and I have not installed any new software. Hunting the Forums suggested disabling anti-virus software (in my case AVG) which I have done. It is always in the final stage "Transferring to YouTube". I have shot in XP+ from my Canon Legria HFS10.
The editing process to reduce to 10 minutes from 20 went without a hitch.
(Previous efforts can be seen if you're desperate by hunting for Basset Hound Walkers).
Any ideas most welcome. Should I convert to a different format? - though it has worked before. Are YouTube having problems?
Many thanks.

First, glad to hear that you were able to Export then upload. That is a first step, and a big one - the Project is out the door.
As to the failure of the On-Line upload (nice, when it works), I would pour over your settings for that function. My guess would be that something (probably just one setting), is not right.
It could be something that YouTube has changed, since you last used the function. They love to do that.
Going back about a year (maybe longer?), when they went to Google accounts, almost everyone was left out in the cold, until they got their accounts sorted. Similar happened, when YouTube introduced the "extended accounts," but programs, like PrE had been written for the 10 min. Duration (why I asked for clarification on the Duration), so the direct upload function in PrE would not allow for those extended accounts. YouTube always seems to be a "moving target."
Last, I am greatly honored! Thank you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

Error - "Exception during parsing of upload document"

Hi,
I am getting following error when trying to upload data with my custom integrator:
"The upload process has completed with errors. Press Close to return to the document and fix the errors.
Upload processing did not complete
Exception during parsing of upload document"
My custom integrator was created for UPDATE mode with view AP_HOLDS_V and Release_Holds API. I also added Standalone Query (to limit downloaded data to not released holds and user releaseable). Layout contains only API parameters fields (however I had some context fields, but error message was the same then).
I am quite new to Web ADI and I still don't have full understanding, maybe someone can also answer following questions:
- what is mapping needed for? is this to map view/table fields with the layout field?
- how does integrator know which layout field should be mapped with parameters of API?
- is there no web adi template to modify columns assigned to interface? is this only possible with UPDATE commands?
- where is bne log file stored?
I would appreciate if someone can help. I was even debugging VBA macro to see if that error is on client or server side, but it looks like it is on the server side.
Regards
Piotr

PO attachment error - Read error during PC upload

Hi Gurus,
I am getting the error when I am trying to attach any file in ME22N, by clicking the services for object button, create attachment, and select the attachment.
The error message is "Read error during PC upload" and "The attachemnt has not been created".
The system is upgraded to ECC 6 last year and have not tried this function before.
Thanks in advance.
Durai

Hi,
They are not using any interfaces (EDI), no idocs. They are using either fax or email and post modes only.
After saving the PO, we can able to attach the documents by clicking the services for object button in ME22N. But I am not able to attach the document to PO.
Thanks for your response.
Regards
Durai.

Read Error During PC Upload

Hi Experts,
When I attempt to attach a document to a PO (ME21N/ME22N) I get an error message say:
Read Error During PC Upload : Include File in PC Application
The funny thing is, some users can make attachments, others cannot. Is this a profile or authorization issue?
Thanks in advance!
SW

Hi Steven,
You cannot attach a file in ME21N trxn using Services for Object. For this you have to come out of Trxn ME21N after saving Po and again go to ME22N trxn code and in Menu System - Select Services for Object and Attach your File.
Be sure the File is not in use and closed.
Reg,
Ashok

The upload has failed. An unknown server error occurred during processing. Please try again

I keep getting this message when I try to upload a folio "The upload has failed. An unknown server error occurred during processing. Please try again". It happens every time, some articles do upload but some not.

Thanks Automator21 I manage to upload most of my articles successfully by starting again the whole process. But I have 4 articles that I can't upload, all of this articles have big size videos (one 50mb, other one with 70mb, other with 4 small 30mb videos). I could upload those articles by taking the videos out, but I want those videos on my articles.
I use Adobe Media Encoder to compress the videos and they are not in high quality, for example the 70mb file is an 640x480 8 min. long video. And they are all with H.264 encoding and .mp4.
Do you know how can I fix this problem.
Thanks!

"An error occurred during upload" iMovie for iOS

HI, I was wondering if anyone could help? I was trying to make a movie for my Father's 67th birthday. I created the movie with a mixture of videos and photos from my phone, with some text on some and some music to accompany it. When I try to "save to camera roll" it comes up with the message, "An error occurred during export". I have no idea why this is happening. I have tried all the other options - YouTube, Facebook, iMovie theatre, and they all don't work. With those options the say that the movie is uploading but it doesn't actually do anything. Fortunately I was able to show him through AirPlay and previewing the movie but I want it on my camera roll so that he can have a copy and my family can. Anybody got any suggestions? This is an example of what it shows me!

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.

Formatting errors in Browser Preview and crashing during FTP Upload

Hey Y'all!
I have two errors that I cannot seem to fix.
1. The Browser Preview of my site does not match the design in the Design section. There is added blank space between elements when previewing in the browser. There are no elements of this page that are Footer Items and I've tried resetting the spacing in various ways to align everything as it is seen.
2. I thought that maybe the Browser Preview was the problem, and that my site would be fine once I uploaded it. Unfortunately, Muse stops responding on the same element during multiple upload attempts to my FTP Host (GoDaddy). I've tried reorganizing pages in my Plan environment, deleting all files on GoDaddy and uploading the entire file, uploading only modified files after a crash, and deleting/replacing/and relinking the asset in question. I've deleted two other assets that froze the upload earlier, thinking that they were the problem (scroll effects on Edge Animate files), but now it is freezing on a simple .png file.
I've had this screen for 15 minutes, now, with a spinning pinwheel. It is my 5th failed attempt in the past week to upload my site.
Any information about potential fixes would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that I'm overlooking something simple.
All the best,
Paul

I'm sorry I can't help but I have a question...how did you find an ftp server? I'm new to iweb and could you use your help.
Thanks

Excel SSAS Tabular error: An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source

Hello there,
I have an Excel report I created which works perfectly fine on my dev environment, but fails on my test environment when I try to do a data refresh.
The key difference between both dev and test environments is that in dev, everything is installed in one server:
SharePoint 2013
SQL 2012: Database Instance, SSAS Instance, SSRS for SharePoint, SSAS POWERPIVOT instance (Powerpivot for SharePoint).
In my test and production environments, the architecture is different:
SQL DB Servers in High Availability (irrelevant for this report since it is connecting to the tabular model, just FYI)
SQL SSAS Tabular server (contains a tabular model that processes data from the SQL DBs).
2x SharePoint Application Servers (we installed both SSRS and PowerPivot for SharePoint on these servers)
2x SharePoint FrontEnd Servers (contain the SSRS and PowerPivot add-ins).
Now in dev, test and production, I can run PowerPivot reports that have been created in SharePoint without any issues. Those reports can access the SSAS Tabular model without any issues, and perform data refresh and OLAP functions (slicing, dicing, etc).
The problem is with Excel reports (i.e. .xlsx files) uploaded to SharePoint. While I can open them, I am having a hard time performing a data refresh. The error I get is:
"An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source [...]"
I ran SQL Profiler on my SSAS Server where the Tabular instance is and I noticed that every time I try to perform a data refresh, I get the following entries:
Every time I try to perform a data refresh, two entries under the user name ANONYMOUS LOGON.
Since things work without any issues on my single-server dev environment, I tried running SQL Server Profiler there as well to see what I get.
As you can see from the above, in the dev environment the query runs without any issues and the user name logged is in fact my username from the dev environment domain. I also have a separated user for the test domain, and another for the production domain.
Now upon some preliminary investigation I believe this has something to do with the data connection settings in Excel and the usage (or no usage) of secure store. This is what I can vouch for so far:
Library containing reports is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
Library containing data connections is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
The Data Provider referenced in the Excel report (MSOLAP.5) is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
In the Excel report, the Excel Services authentication settings is set as "use authenticated user's account". This wortks fine in the DEV environment.
Concerning SecureStore, PowerPivot Configurator has configured it the PowerPivotUnnattendedAccount application ID in all the environments. There is
NO configuration of an Application ID for Excel Services in any of the environments (Dev, test or production). Altough I reckon this is where the solution lies, I am not 100% sure as to why it fails in test and prod. But as I read what I am
writing, I reckon this is because of the authentication "hops" through servers. Am I right in my assumption?
Could someone please advise what am I doing wrong in this case? If it is the fact that I am missing an Secure Store entry for Excel Services, I am wondering if someone could advise me on how to set ip up? My confusion is around the "Target Application
Type" setting.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
P.

Hi Rameshwar,
PowerPivot workbooks contain embedded data connections. To support workbook interaction through slicers and filters, Excel Services must be configured to allow external data access through embedded connection information. External data access is required
for retrieving PowerPivot data that is loaded on PowerPivot servers in the farm. Please refer to the steps below to solve this issue:
In Central Administration, in Application Management, click Manage service applications.
Click Excel Services Application.
Click Trusted File Location.
Click http:// or the location you want to configure.
In External Data, in Allow External Data, click Trusted data connection libraries and embedded.
Click OK.
For more information, please see:
Create a trusted location for PowerPivot sites in Central Administration:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee637428.aspx
Another reason is Excel Services returns this error when you query PowerPivot data in an Excel workbook that is published to SharePoint, and the SharePoint environment does not have a PowerPivot for SharePoint server, or the SQL Server Analysis
Services (PowerPivot) service is stopped. Please check this document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487858(v=sql.110).aspx
Finally, here is a good article regarding how to troubleshoot PowerPivot data refresh for your reference. Please see:
Troubleshooting PowerPivot Data Refresh:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3870.troubleshooting-powerpivot-data-refresh.aspx
