Error Message: An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc...

Why am I getting the following error: An error occured while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media. I am running PSE10 on a iMac using OS X 10.7.3, my Mac has a 1TB hardrive of which about 150GB is used. I get this error when trying to delete a file out of the Organizer. The software worked fine until I installed it on my laptop, also a Mac, and tried to share files.

Hmm. What happens if you disable sharing, just as a test?
I don't think you can share organizer photos that way, since your versions don't really exist as images, just as a set of directions to organizer for recreate that state of your editing when needed, and you can't run organizer on a network drive, which is pretty much what you're trying to do if you mean you have PSE installed on the other computer and are tryng to use the same catalog for both.

PSE 8 - How do I fix the error message: An error has occurred reading files or writing to disk...?

Hello
I am using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I have all my photos stored on an external hard drive connected by usb. The photos were transferred onto the HDD from a Windows XP machine. I bought a new computer so I installed Photoshop 8 and imported all my photos to the organiser from the HDD. I have also taken some photos yesterday which I have uploaded to the HDD.
Now, when I want to delete a photo I check the box to say I want it to be deleted on the hard disk and I get the error message: 'An error has occured while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may bea problem with the source media.' This does not happen with the photos I uploaded yesterday, only the ones which were put onto the HDD from the XP machine.
Please could someone help? I have tried the File>Catalog> repair and optimise functions. I have reinstalled the software. It still does the same.
Thank you in advance
Dave

Sorry, but I would have thought that this was rather obvious! The only device capable of being written to under these circumstances is your CD drive; after all, it's a CD you are trying to create...
You have two potential major causes of problems here. The most common cause of these difficulties is the disks themselves - you only need a batch with poor reflectivity to cause all sorts of read errors, so that's the first thing to try - using a different brand of disk to write to. The second thing you have to realise is that CD writers have a finite life - the lasers in them simply don't last for ever, and towards the end of their lives the power behaviour tends to be a bit erratic, and it tends to fall off somewhat - which causes the same sorts of errors, simply because the dye doesn't get evaporated efficiently. This causes mis-formed pits, hence the read errors. The only solution here is to install a new drive.
When it comes to reading, commercial CDs have a much higher reflectivity than ones you write yourself, so often these will play whilst your own will fail - a common cause of confusion, this. But it's worth checking; if you get failures to reproduce all of the tracks from a commercial pressed CD, then almost certainly your drive is failing.

Receive error message "An error occurred while trying to access the service" when I try to convert a file?

When I attempt to convert a file, either to PDF or from PDF I receive the error message "An error occurred while trying to access the service" what can I do to resolve? I already applied updates and attempted to fix?

You could always sign into Acrobat.com directly and use the service through the web site if it's a critical need.

Does anyone know why I get this error message in PSE9 on a mac computer?
An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media.
I cant put titles on pictures or delete them from the hard drive, etc.
Please help.
Thank you!

Okay. I would suggest going to your username>library>preferences and deleting everything that is anything like com.adobe.Elements Organizer.plist. You will have more than one of these, one with the version number and possibly one with UUID in it. Also delete any lockfiles with the same names. While you're in username>library, also delete any saved application states for the organizer or PSE from your saved states folder. Then repair permissions and try again.
The username>library folder is hidden in lion. To make it visible, in the Finder click the Go menu and hold down the Option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account.

Move to new computer, get "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc

I tried to move my PE6 install and catalog to a new computer. It was on a Dell Windows XP machine, and I moved it to a Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I have always kept my photo files on an external hard drive. My photo library is 50GB, 10,000 files. Here is what I did.
Copied the original PE6 install file to the Toshiba. Installed but didn’t activate it.
Copied the entire My Catalog folder to the proper Windows 7 location.
Plugged the external drive into the Toshiba. Made sure the same drive letter as before (E).
Fired up PE6 on Toshiba. Looked good in Organizer. Everything seemed to be there, but I didn't try to make changes at that point.
Deactivated PE6 on the Dell. Activated on the Toshiba.
Then I realized that it is not right. I can edit Keywords and Rating stars on the pics, but not dates, captions or notes. I get “An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be problems with the source media.”
Only a fraction of the external drive is in use.
I can access the files on the external drive with another app (Windows Photo Viewer).
I tried Reconnect All Missing Files. Somewhat ambiguously, it says “There are no files to reconnect.”
In the properties in the Organizer for each picture are the proper file names and paths. Folder view works fine in Organizer.
I can put new files in the same external drive directories, import them into PE6, then edit them normally.
What is the easiest way to get Organizer properly connected to my files? I suppose I could reimport all the pics on the new machine, but I assume I'd lose some of my metadata. So that is out of the question.
Thanks,
Bill

Are you sure that file paths are correct? I say this because under XP they would have originally pointed to Documents & Settings/My Pictures whereas on W7 it will be User/Pictures, albeit you are using an external hd.
Take a look at this knowledge base note on the correct procedure for back-up and restore.
I think writing metadata to files for such a large catalog will be a thankless task.

HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes. I keep getting this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device. What can I do?

I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device." I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account. What can I do?

This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

Time capsule remote access message from airport utility "An error occurred while reading the configuration"

WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS Time capsule remotely, I receive a message from airport utility "An error occurred while reading the configuration." It worked before on the same computer with the same setting. I am in a different country now (Afghanistan). Not sure if that can be an issue.

If the TC is at home and in router mode as the main router of the network, get someone at home to give you the current public IP which will be on the summary page of the airport utility.
With the public IP try and access it by typing the IP directly into finder.. go.. connect to server.
AFP://publicip.
If you have setup WAN access it will. Otherwise no.
For BTMM and iCloud access and its various issues.. this thread may give you some ideas.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
If the icloud method proves unreliable and you are dependent on access to the TC.. I strongly recommend better and more reliable access methods.. in particular buy a VPN modem or router.. whichever suits your internet type and put the TC in bridge behind it. Direct connect to the TC via the vpn.
You will need either a static public IP which you purchase as an extra from your ISP .. maybe via a business account or setup a dyndns account which are readily available.

Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup then to factory defaults/new iPod.

An error occurred while reading document

Hello all,
First let me apologize for the lengthy post, but I want to be clear. :-). Ever since I upgraded my iPad 2 to the newest iOS 8 release, I have had issues with my tablet. It is running slower, as I type this out there is a delay with the press of each letter. I have to wait until each letter is typed before moving on to the next section when filling out forms for example. Openings apps has also been slower and several apps have crashed unexpectedly. While visiting websites the connection is also slower and while searching for items on Google, the search results are listed but when I try to click on one of the items, not happens. The links are not available but they are listed. I have to switch to another app or refresh the page or sometimes both in order to be able to click on one of the results.
But the most annoying issue is that I cannot open attachments up from my iOS email now. Before I was able to open the attachment and see a preview of the attachment whether it is word, excel, PowerPoint, etc. I would then open that attachment in my word processing app to edit or open the file in a pdf converter for publication, But now when I get an attachment and try to open it from iOS mail, I get a blank page with the document file name and "Microsoft Word 97-2014 document" and the size of the document. These files are files that I edited in a word processing app, CouldOn, which I then email to myself so that I may get the file into my pdf converter app. I have done this several times before the upgrade now.
I also tried to open the file in my pdf converter app even tho it was not showing in the iOS Mail preview, but then I get an error message stating "An error has occurred while reading the document".
This is really frustrating. I have googled my issues but didn't really refined any solutions, I did find some others had similar issues but they were with other previous versions of iOS, not the one I have now. Can anyone help me out here? This has basically caused my work to stop, if I cannot be sure that attachments are not going to have any issues when they are sent to clients, then I cannot send them, I need to get this fixed ASAP. Has anyone else had these issues?

Adding to above, I have latest update for Pages. I can open documents on my iPad that are not locked. But now, I can't get to the "lock" buttons to unlock it. On my Mac, iCloud and share document is on.

For the benifit of others.
The issue is resolved.
When we set the certificate password inside our application we were encrypting it inside our system.
When we sent it to tibco we did not decrypt it.
So the encrypted password was sent as it is that was the issue :(
Thanks,

"An error occurred while reading the configuration"

I updated my Time Capsule (1tb, old) with the new software last night (to 7.4.1 from 7.3.2). The upgrade process seemed to work fine. I then tried to go into the TC with Airport Utility 5.4.1 and when I click on the TC, I get a message that says, 'An error occurred while reading the configuration. Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-5). I've rebooted the TC. I have plugged into it directly.
It now asks me for my password. I type it in and then I get the message. Any suggestions? Downgrade? Re-run the upgrade? Reset the TC?

foohan,
I had this same error, and I did have to reset (hold down the reset button for 5 seconds) my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule to get past it. I noticed two things, though.
1. If I tried to connect to my Time Capsule from Finder, I got an error. But if I clicked the "Connect As" button, it asked for my password again, and I could get to all of my files to back them up.
2. All of my files were still on my Time Capsule after I reset it. I use it for remote file storage, not Time Machine, so I can't tell you if Time Machine backups will pick up where they left off.
Hope this helps.
