How about some information, i.e. operating system & version, browser & version, Flash Player version, and what you are doing when you get that error message?

"...file could not be written due to insufficient permisson"

hi, please help! i am having problem with adobe flash player installation, i have read previous discussions to see if that would help, but it was in vain.
i have windows vista 7, (32bit) .
when downloading it gets to 52% completion and then say: "Insufficient permissions to write a file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil11g_ActiveX.exe:5,"
I am a system admin and I have all the permissions, i even deleted my standard user, and guest accounts.
from the discussions that i have read, and tried i have noticed that no one have the problem that i have which is: when i go to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash, the only thing that is there is Flash11e.ocx, which i can't even read. so please if you can please help.
I've had this PC for 2 1/2 years, so its kinda old, and i has gone though alot including being recovered to previous times.
i am imploying for help,
thank you.

Hi,
Could you try the steps outlined in this FAQ for doing a clean installation of Flash Player?
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
Thanks,

'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
ANY IDEAS ANYONE? I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
many thanks,
P

Mylenium,
Sounds like you know a good deal about this product. Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
Thanks,
Paul

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. My files are locally in Dropbox but once we moved files to network and tried opening the AI - the file would not recognize the original folder location. 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.

Jasion,
Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Error "The file could not be written"

Hi!
'm tyring to export some pictures in lightroon but I receive the error "The file could not be written".
Any suggestion?

Make sure you have permission to write to the output folder and that there is enough space on the disk.
What OS are you running? What version of Lightroom?

Help! Getting error "The file could not be written" when exporting

When I attempt to export a group of approximately 50 photos from LR4, a window opens at the end of the process saying "The file could not be written" along with a list of approximately 10-15 NEF file names. I have never had a problem exporting before, but I recently started storing my LR catalog and files on an external USB 3.0 drive. I'm looking for any suggestions!
Here are the details:
LR4 with latest updates
Win 7 with latest updates
LR catalog and photo files stored on external USB 3.0 G: drive
Trying to export to a folder on my desktop on C: drive (46GB free out of 134GB, solid state drive)
LR files are NEF, exported files are JPG
I've tried to export to the same group of photos multiple times with different names and different output file sizes (8MB, 5MB, 2MB). Each time the list of failures is different.
Some of the thumbnails which appear in Windows Explorer are corrupted (part of the thumbnail is gray)
When I try to export the same group of photos to the external USB 3.0, it works perfectly!
Here is an example of one of the LR log files:
The file could not be written. (17)

I am getting an error message "memory could not be written" after automatic download 1 hr ago.

Now I cannot use Adobe reader or Acrobat at all. It opens up a page then after about 15 seconds the error messsage comes up then the page closes.

Yes,
I believe it is working now. I appreciate your help.
Thank you,

Error messag: File could not be found

Thank you for your help

Just spoke to Apple cust service (the tech at the Genius bar in the Arlington VA store could not figure it out).
Cust service suggested I close iTunes, then remove two files iTunesLibrary.itl and iTunesMusic.xml from iTunes to the Desktop. Then open iTunes, which will be empty. Load backup discs (which I fortunately have), populate iTunes again, which will now include the previously missing files, and then delete the files on the Desktop.
If the backup does not work, then drag the two desktop files back to iTunes which should then not be empty but have the reduced population.
The problem is apparently caused by anti-virus s/w which attaches to songs and quarantines or deletes them. Can happen any time, so the importance of keeping backups up to date.
Let me try it and see what happens.

Error message: file could not be found.

I use iTunes 8.2.1.6. I have started getting this message "Song X could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" for about a quarter of the songs in my library. If I click "locate", it takes me to a window with program files, apparently.
It also syncs only 3/4 of my songs to my classic iPod, again something new. And does not back up to disc: just freezes on a song and then crashes. The iPod was bought on July 11, 2009.
Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

TS1424 Has anyone encountered trouble transferring rented films to their iPhone? I get error message "iTunes could not copy [film name] to the iPhone because the file could not be written"

I have dowloaded a film to rent. Downloads to iTunes without problem. However it does not transfer to my iPhone.
At first it appeared on iTunes as though it should be on my phone (it definately wasn't).
Apple Support sent me film to download again.
Tried to transfer it again tonight and the error message I get is: "iTunes could not copy [film title]Spy to the iPhone because the file could not be written"
Can anyone help ASAP

Two possibilities come to mind.
Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
Or...
Repair Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

"The file could not be read due to an error" Opens on one computer, displays this on another.

Hello,
I'm trying to troubleshoot several Illustrator files that won't open on desktops at my company's 2nd office. The files open fine on any desktop at my primary office. When opening the files from the 2nd office, it begins "Reading Illustrator file..." then the message "The file could not be read due to an error" is displayed and the file closes out.
Both offices have the same model desktop and are running:
Adobe Illustrator CS6 (up to date)
Windows 7 x64
Both desktops have the same system fonts and I've tried saving the files locally.
Thanks, Shaun

Hey Jacob and Monika,
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I did already try saving the files to the hard disk.
"Both desktops have the same system fonts and I've tried saving the files locally."
My fix was copying the content of the files into new, blank .ai files. Those new files open from both offices now.
Still, I wish I could have identified the issue in case it happens again. The error message is vague and there isn't much info on the web about it.
Best, Shaun

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

HT4414 When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion?

When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps.

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.
