Error: File could not be moved to selected location

I get an error code "file could not be moved to selected location" when trying to move an image or a folder from one hard drive to another within Lightroom.
I am migrating from a Windows-based PC to an iMac. I successfully used Lightroom to move all my images and catalogs from the PC hard file to a USB attached hard file.  I was able to go to the iMac and move the Lightroom Catalog from USB attached drive to the Apple Macintosh drive. I was able to bring up Lightroom with moved Lightroom Catalog and work with all of my images. Then using Lightroom I was unable to move the images to the Macintosh hard drive without getting the error code above.
What now? 

Thanks for you input.  The "from" hard drive where I placed the Catalog and images to port them to the Apple from the Windows PC is a read only on the Apple system.  The Macintosh drive (and a Drobo drive that I have also tried to write to are formatted for Apple.  I read/write on them when moving files outside of Lightroom.  It's just within Lightroom where the problem seems to exist.  I want to work within Lightroom so that the Catalog is up-to-date.

  • File could not be moved to the selected destination

    When moving a group of files to a different folder, most moved fine. For one I got a message "There was an error copying files to the destination you selected. The following files could not be copied." and "File could not be moved to the selected desination. (1)".
    Having been a programmer I know that writing a really useful error message, as opposed to one like this that gives you no useful information at all for solving the problem, is not that hard. In fact, it's just basic sound programming practice. Yet I've encountered error messages like this more than once in Adobe products.
    Now, the real question is what is this telling me and how do I go about fixing it? The file I was copying is in the original folder just like the other files I selected. The destination folder exists--the other files were moved into it. There is no duplicate of the file in the destination folder. The file is not lost because I can export it. The help file has no information. What else can I check?
    (Yes, I know that a LR workflow is not built around folders. But sometimes you just need to move a photo.)

    What OS/version are you running?  External disk, network disk?
    This is almost always a permissions / ACL problem.  Happens most of the time with newer windows os like Vista and even worse with Win7.  They've changed the way "permissions" are handled in both OS's to something more complicated.  Not only do you have to have read/write access, but you must "take ownership" of those folders (and everything below them) to be able to use them properly.
    Cheers!

  • The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved

    Hi guys,
    I removed my bootcamp partition to clear up some temp space and expanded the Mac OS partition up to the fullest size again using Boot Camp Assistant.
    The first thing I noticed was that when I restart to computer gets stuck on an ugly BIOS looking screen with a message something along the lines of "no bootable partitions could be found", Easy way round is to hold down the ALT key which brings up a sole Mac OS button to boot from.
    Now I try and make a little partition again using the assistant and it won't let me because it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved". It then advises to back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended volume before restoring again.
    Is there anyway to fix this lot without going through doing this.
    Will Boot Camp Restore re-instate the OS as well as my user files?

    I had a similar problem when I undid my boot camp partition to make it larger. I tried to make it 50 GB which gave me the same error about the files not being able to be moved. I didn't get the "no bootable partitions" error. I changed the size of the partition to 47 GB and ran the boot camp assistant. It stopped while partitioning and I have to force quit to stop it. I restarted the assistant and made the partition a little larger to 48 GB and it partitioned finally. My suggestion is to ry adjusting the size of the partition and see if that allows you to make the partition at least. For you other problem, I'm not sure... From what I gathered from other forums, the drive might be fragmented which causes the partition error. There is no free defragment tool for mac (dunno why) but they exist.

  • Can't create a partition - 'some files could not be moved'

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to install Boot Camp on my MBP C2D, 2.33GHz, 3GB RAM, x1600 128. I set the size of the partition and after a long time get an error that the partition could not be created, because some files could not be moved. It tells me to go into disk utility and restore the Mac OS drive to a single partition and install OSX again.
    I'm at university so I can't reinstall OSX, and don't want to. As I've read from around the net this problem means there is a big file somewhere that can't be moved, or something similar. What I've done is check my disk with iDefrag, which says its only 0.7% fragmented, I've 'erased' my free space, I've deleted even more stuff off my Mac HD (have 35 or so GB free, only want a 5GB partition), I've verified and fixed both the drive and permissions in disk utility and disk ulitity from a CD boot, and tried changing the size of the partition. I tried creating a partition in disk utility, and was told it could not be done because there was not enough space (there definately was). I've used a bunch of tools to clean up my computer, re-indexed spotlight, and I'm at the end of my rope of ideas. I've had bootcamp many times on this laptop before, so am totally at a loss what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Again, I can't reinstall OSX/wipe the drive.
    I'm using Leopard, 10.5.5.
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. I went from 40 GB to 230 GB of free disk space. Tried creating a partition with 100, 80, 60 GB, but it slaps me with the same error message each time. It is ridiculous to ask users to backup and restore their information (by the way, it should say take a long process of backing up all your files, reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling your operating system together with all applications). I do have an external drive, but it is already full. Why else would anyone buy it? To wait for something like a boot camp error to happen and ask me to backup my stuff? There are big files on my computer and if now over 230 GB is not enough free space for it to move them around then I can really be ashamed for ever buying such an expensive computer which can't do a simple task as creating a partition.

  • File could not be moved to the Trash

    Well its kind of hard to decode your english (no offense! I'm just not sure I understand what you mean)
    Let's do some tests.
    First check if your user belongs to the "storage" group (have a look at /etc/group or open a terminal and as root type
    grep <your-username> /etc/group
    Youwill get a list of groups your user belongs to. One should look like this:   storage:x:95:<your-username>,hal
    If storage is not part of that list, add your user to this group (as root):
    gpasswd -a <your-username> storage
    Next test: open a terminal in your users home directory and do
    touch test.txt
    This should just create an empty file named test.txt.
    You won't get output if it worked, so you may check if it really was created with
    ls -l
    That will list the content of the directory. You should see test.txt there, probably other files too.
    If this fails the drive is probably mounted read-only (I see no reason this should be the case in your fstab but better be sure). Btw. is it an internal drive or let's say external USB-Harddisk?
    If the above works you know at least that the drive is mounted read-write and that you have write permissions in you home-folder as it should be.
    Next Step: try deleting the file again witch
    rm test.txt
    and check again with the ls -l if it was deleted.
    None of this will immediately solve your problem but we might get a hint what is going wrong...
    If you get any error messages post them here.
    Sorry but I don't understand what you mean with  "but I can not root as you can send files to the trash" 
    You mean you can't become root at all or just that deleting the files as root is not practical for every day use? (It sure isn't that was just to test if the drive is mounted read-write.)

  • Error: File could not be opened.

    When managing the following and clicking on "Export To Excel", the following error occurs:

    - Trying to export Import Groups
    - Trying to export Logic Accounts
    - Trying to export Logic Groups
    Does anyone please have any suggestions on how to fix this? The odd thing is that these files are actually created and can be opened fine!

    Many thanks for your suggestions.
    - MS Office Excel 2007 SP3 is installed on the server. The Excel files are created and can be opened manually fine on the server (by going to C:\FDMData\Outbox\ExcelFiles). But FDM raises the above error whenever one clicks on the "Export To Excel" button and does nothing more.
    - The admins here have apparently now added the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop folder (the FDM app server is 64-bit) but it does not appear to have made a difference. Will the FDM service account need privileges to this location?
    - Apparently the FDM service account has privileges to the FDMData\Outbox\ExcelFiles location, but I will double check this...

  • Error Message - Could not be moved to the mailbox "(null)"

    The archive button in macmail will not let me archive an email using one of my IMAP accounts, making me think I accidentally deleted an Archive folder during setup.    I get the following error message. The message [subject] could not be moved to the mailbox "(null)".  The destination mailbox does not exist.
    Each of my email accounts have an archive folder, except for my work account (Tecsg) which has a circle icon instead of the Archive box icon.
    Any tips on how to fix this?

    So this worked for me...
    I found the answer here.
    Close Mail
    Go to /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/
    Edit Accounts.plist
    Make a backup of the file just in case
    Find the following key-string pair under the account that you are having trouble with:
    <key>ArchiveMailboxName</key>
    <string></string>
    Change the <string> tag value to your desired archive folder name, e.g.  Archive
    Save the file
    Reopen Mail
    The Archive folder will now apear with the rest of your archive folders in the navigation area.
    You can also add an archive button to the toolbar.

  • "file could not be found" but library location is correct

    My problem has been posted before, but I cannot find a solution that has worked. My library has lived on a remote raid for months with no problems. The library location in the advanced tab is correct. The music that I have added to iTunes since March 18 is accessible, but all of my other music "could not be found." If I navigate to it and point iTunes to the correct path, it repairs the connection to the library, but I have far too much music to do this manually. Perhaps I lost connection to the raid temporarily on March 17, but the connection is fine now. Why won't the library reconnect?
    I have tried closing iTunes, disconnecting from the raid, reconnecting, and starting iTunes again. I have tried re-setting the location in the advanced tab. Nothing.
    Any suggestions short of deleting and rebuilding my library? I would be so appreciative if someone could help!

    Did you did an import? The library may be available for auto-complete, but I believe you still need to import whatever you will use.
    If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such. Thanks!

    Thanks

    It would help to have more background about your iTunes collection such as if you keep it on an external drive, or if you have moved or renamed anything recently.  iTunes is very sensitive to you renaming or moving files or folders involved with your media.  iTunes only keeps a reference to where a media file is located  and then goes to look for it when you try to play it. If you have changed things since it was added to itunes then it's like me sending you to look for a friend in my addressbook but that friend has moved.
    The other possibility is your computer is starting to lose files.  Again, the computer uses a reference database to tell it where on the drive to look for a file. If that database gets corrupt then it starts losing files.  Use Dsk Utility's first aid to verify your hard drive.

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • Has anyone had the error "The file could not be read due to an error" when selecting ignore or replace image links. The linked images are in Dropbox if that helps.

    I am working on a Mac 10.9.5 with Adobe CS6.

I tried ignoring the missing images but then I receive the error - The file could not be read due to an error." The same error happens when I try replacing the first missing image. I know the problem lies in the images are linked back to my Dropbox but the AI file doesn't care since it won't let me replace or ignore the image links.
