Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
Here's the full error message:
iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) . One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects). If you can then iMovie itself is OK. If not then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash? Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?

Please!
Thanks!

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

When trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.
iPhone 4S / OSX 10.6.8 / iTunes 10.5.1

Error message: iPod cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found.

Each time I sync my 5th generation iPod to my laptop and open iTunes, I get the message "iPod cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found." My husband already updated my iPod with the most current Updater (6/28/06). Any thoughts or suggestions?

After looking further into the archives, I got an answer to my question. There is a file called "iPod Photo Cache", located in the Pictures folder, that should be moved to Trash. Once done, the error message pops up no more!

Error message: "Safari cannot open thepage because the server cannot be found"

Trying to open rte player on an iPad Mini, from the UK, but Error message: "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found" is displayed. Am able to open other web pages. Only appears to be this website. Please help. Thanks in advanced.

the Safari app seems to be working for everything else. Its just the Netflix app that it wont open.
You don't use Safari to open the Netflix app. Just tap the icon for the Netflix app on your iPad homescreen. Safari is not involved at all.
I am at a loss as to what to do!
Well, if you still can't get it to work, the obvious thing to do would be to contact Netflix Support over on their website.

Constant error message attempting to save changes

I have my work Exchange account saved into my Mac. I am receiving my Exchange work emails in Mail, and that works pretty seamlessly, but my Calendar won't sync properly. I recently deleted an Exchange calendar event through my Mac on iCal, and now, I constantly receive an error message that says:
Calendar can't delete the event "xxx" from the Exchange server.
There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server.
The options it gives me are:
1. Revert to Server
2. Try Again
3. Ignore
I have tried all three options, but the error messages still comes up.
I went to my Exchange account on a browser and through my work computer to delete the event through the Exchange server, and I continuously get the error on my Mac.
I also went and deleted my Exchange account from my Mac then re-added it, but I still get this error.
What is wrong? How can I really delete this?

I had this problem too and finally solved it. Not sure whether it helpes others.
1. Close Calendar
2. Go to folder: ~/Library/Cache
3. Remove from folder 3 files: Calendar Cache, Calendar Cache-shm, Calendar Cache-wal
4. Go to system preferences, internet accounts
5. Deselect calendar from exchange account
6. Restart Mac
7. Go to system preferences, internet accounts and re-select calendar from exchange account
8. Restart Mac
9. Open calendar
Hope it works for you!

Error message: itunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the ipad could not be detected

I received this message: "itunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the ipad could not be detected" when trying to sync my ipad via usb with my windows PC - after the iPad applications failed to update when I selected 'Update All' in IOS6.

Disconnect and restart the computer and reset the iPad:
Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Error message: "Querying or saving changes to the database failed."

Hi all,
I can sense I'm becoming a regular on this particular forum - the problem of spending 8 hours a day trying to get this software working!
_*The problem*_
When i try and setup a new device, or modify an existing one, I get an error message when i get to the Transcode Settings page. The error message is "Querying or saving changes to the database failed." After this I get a blank screen and can no longer see my settings.
No amount of restarting has fixed this. And I cannot see a way to create a device through the client software and add transcode settings.
Help?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Ah very good!
Ok - it seems then that this works absolutely fine as a work around. I can create a device and then assign the device to transcode settings through the client adminsitration panel (which is indeed what I meant).
So, there is a work around. Far less pressing now, but I would like to know why I'm getting the error message all the same - I'm now concerned about the integrity of the database...
Thanks Tony!

Error message (-48) cannot save library

I have the library saved on a network drive and it was working fine until I just started getting the error message "cannot save library error (-48). But the library is still there and it appears that new songs/pods are being saved. Any idea what this error message is? Thanks

That error is referring to the iTunes Library.itl or .xml file, as explained in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
WHen are you seeing this error, when you try to close itunes?
Can you rename that file? Because if you can't, the operating system is confused and thinks something has a lock on it. Restarting your PC should clear that situation.

Error message: You cannot save a completed copy of this form to your computer.

Hello,
I created a PDF form in Acrobat Pro X and i am trying to distribute it by placing it on our shared drive so employees can take it from there and save it to their own computer.
I tested the form with some employees that have Reader. Some can open it, save it, fill it in and submit it and others get this message when opening it:
You cannot save a completed copy of this form to your computer. If you would like a copy for your records please fill it in and print it.
I read some discussions that said to convert it to a binder, that didnt work either. i tried going to the advanced tab and extending the features to reader...nothing works.
Please help.
Thank you!

Thank you for your help George. I placed a ticket with our IT department to have them check the system time on her machine. I'll let you know if it worked.

When Isync my iPhone with my mac desktop I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". Can anyone help?

When I connect my iPhone (ios 4.3.3) to my Desktop Mac I get an error message. "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." This happened while I was downloading photos from iPhoto.

Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
if that doesn't work,
uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

I keep getting an error message saying cannot find or create the font "arialunicodeMS' s

I keep getting this error message and all I can see are dots. Can anyone help? thank you.

Seems like an issue with the fonts not being embedded in the PDF and the same not being available on your system either. You could ask the PDF creater to embed the same in the PDF and provide you with the new PDF.
