"Error creating file: 1008:5, -5000 ... on Mac OS X

While some are able to use Disk Utility to repair permissions
(plus the chmod suggestion) for at least two users on this board,
including myself on two separate MacBooks, this is not working.
The installer is clearly wonked. Maybe it is because I run as
non-admin and with FileVault turned on but the reality is that the
FlashPlayer installer isn't.
****How can it be expected to work, after all, when it
doesn't even ask for an admin password!!!!!****
I have repaired permissions numerous times, chmoded Firefox,
restarted, used the Uninstall Utility (which only works from an
admin account, by the way), made the permissions wide open on the
Internet Plugins folder which is where the install, for me anyway,
fails (it seems to be unable to install flashplayer.xpt when it
fails), looked in the logs to no avail, tried to install logged in
as admin, etc all to NO AVAIL.
Given this is a *security* update there should never be this
much angst.

OK, finally got FlashPlayer installed.
It is a [ridiculous] SIX+ part solution.
First, log out of your non-admin account.
Second, log into your admin account. NOTE, you can't just
fast user switch as it won't work. This was what prevented it from
working for me earlier.
Third, if you are running a non-Safari browser you need to
either delete the application or change the permissions on part of
the application per this tech note:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=4aa64290&sliceId=1
Fourth, run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Fifth, run the installer.
Sixth, if you had to change permissions per the tech note,
change them back.
Seventh [optional], run Disk Utility and repair permissions
to fix the broken ones from the FlashPlayer install.
For a major software company to be unable to get an
installer! correct is really, really embarrassing. It NEVER tells
you that it needs to be run from the admin account, probably
because the earlier versions would prompt you for your admin
password, but this latest update doesn't. Oops.

  • Error "creating file: 1008:5, -5000 Access Denied Error"

    I'm unable to install Flash Player 9 in OS X (10.4.8). I
    followed the following tech note:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4aa64290
    * I uninstalled Flash Player using the uninstaller
    * I repaired disk permissions
    * I tried re-installing Flash Player
    I still get the error message saying I don't have the
    appropriate permissions.
    Some background: I'm upgrading from a G5 tower to a new Mac
    Pro. I ran the migration utility to copy over my user settings,
    apps, etc. I noticed that pages with Flash were crashing the
    browser(s) instantly. Of course, that's because the PowerPC version
    was previously installed. I uninstalled and tried to re-install.
    When I got the above error, searched the support area and found the
    tech note saying to uninstall (done), repair permissions (done),
    then re-install (fails.)
    I'm stumped.
    Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem, after trying more than a few times
    to install the
    player, uninstall it, uninstall the Firefox 2, reinstall
    Firefox... with the
    same result : it says that I need a plugin, and put me to the
    page of the Flash
    player installer...
    I had this new error message after erasing, as it was
    proposed on a forum, the
    Internet plug-ins directory... "creating file: 1008:5, -5000
    Access Denied
    Error"
    I never had this message before. I have all the rights and
    have installed lots
    of softwares. I tried to use the terminal way... but this is
    a long way for me
    on a Mac... I would be able on a PC but I can't even
    "navigate to this
    directory"...
    Do I have to say that this Flash player is now quite
    important for lots of web
    sites... This is really the first time I have a problem with
    Flash. Is it the
    Intel Mac ?? No, it seems Windows have also its probs. Thanks
    for a reply... or
    a solution !

  • Error creating files. Compilation failed... when publishing iOS app with AIR 3.1 and Flash 11.5.1

    Hello, I'm running Windows 7. I'm using Flash 11.5.1 (that's CS5.5 updated once) and AIR 3.1 to make an iPhone app.
    I can export the app perfectly fine with either Ctrl+Enter or F12.
    I added all the required things with AIR for iOS settings, such as a p12 certificate and icon files.
    I then hit publish. After I hit publish, I got this error:
    Error creating files.
    Compilation failed...
    I tried dragging the window to see if there was anything hidden behind the elipses. What can I do to fix this problem?

    note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
    I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
    Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?
    I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

  • When creating file in Windows on a mac share, owner is 'nobody'

    Hi,
    I'm running windows 7 and are working on a OS 10.6 share (share1) that I'm connected to. I can view/edit files but when i create a file on windows on share1 the ownership on the mac becomes 'nodody'(r/w), 'staff'(r), 'everyone'(r).
    To continue working with this file, I have to manually change the ownership on my mac back to 'pippin'(r/w),'staff'(r/w),'everyone'(r/w).
    Both computers are plugged in to a domain (my.domain.com) and the folders on the mac are shared as 'pippin'(r/w),'everyone'(r/w)
    What can i do, to have Mac OS register the ownership properly whenever i create files?
    The problem is similar to the problem described in this post, but the solution offered doesn't help in this situation.

    Hi Kiran,
    looks like your repository 'my_content' doesn't support the copy of the desired template 'New Document Number Required_Engr Spec_1_.doc from the template storage into the target path. Does the creation of a new file from this template work in the documents repository?
    Is the my_content repostiory may be a file system repostory and doesn't support files with a space in their names.
    Kind regards,
    Michael

  • Error : Create File

    Hi
    When i try to create files , it insert some junk characters which i cant understand.

              theStream.close();
    Any help is appreaciated!!
    Thanks
    ---------------------------

    the methods
    writeBoolean(), writeChar(),writeDouble() etc write the parameter as a binary representation. In a txt editor, it will look like garbage.
    If you want a human readable file, try using PrintWriter instead of DataOutputStream.

    Hi,
    Database browsing in Flex Builder is done using DTP

    We have corrected this bug for Flex Builder and it will be

    For the moment please don't use such composed types (UNSIGNED

  • Download error message - "Cannot Create File"

    Recently I developed a problem and am unable to download anything (files, software, etc) from any website. I begin a download, the download manager comes up and it shows an error message "Cannot Create File." I am using the default manager that is incorporated in OS X 10.3.9.
    I never had a problem until a week or so ago when I downloaded a software demo. I decided to get the full software package and trashed the demo files per the company's instructions. I got the error message when I tried to download the full program and now get the message no matter what I attempt to download. Might I have trashed a file I wasn't supposed to trash?
    I tried installing 10.3.9 again on my main drive but still have the problem. If I use an external hard drive with spare copy of 10.3.9 and make that my start up drive, I can download files successfully.

    maybe. you could try this:
    to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
    +1) Quit iTunes.+
    +2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
    +3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
    +4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
    +6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
    +You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
    +And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.
