Error window "could not write the file. There is not enough scratch memory available

When I try to use the "save for web" I get this error window. I have deleted several files and have over 700 GB of memory available on my local C drive. I have had PS CC for over a year and have never seen this before. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi AndreaJ,
If it cannot create a temp file, which indeed is tied to the limitations for 32bit apps and in Save for Web cannot exceed 2GB,
That's what it's telling you, and this has absolutely nothing to do with your system swap file.
A possible solution may be to manually flatten the file before exporting or it might also help to clean up the Drive you are using as Scratch disk.

Safari could not download the file -there is not enough free disk space

I've tried downloading Windows Media Viewer, StuffIt Expander, and Adobe Reader however when I do I receive an error message as follows (example is for the StuffIt Expander -similar message for the other programs): Safari could not download the file "nstuffitexp12.01.dmg" because there is not enough free disk space.
There is PLENTY of free disk space on my hard drive. The hard drive has 20 GB of Used space and 129 GB of Available space.
A few simple fixes I've tried, that did not help: I cleared my Cache, I emptied my Trash, I restarted the computer. (sorry, I'm a Mac novice -not sure what else to try)
What's wrong? How do I download these files??
I would like to open Window Media Viewer files (.wmv) and Adobe Reader files (.pdf) so I need these programs on my computer.
So as a secondary question, is there a program for Macs better suited to open and view .wmv and .pdf files?
Please help with my download / free disk space problem, this is driving me crazy (for hours now). Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

Mac OS X can open pdf files fine without Adobe's bloatware, they open by default in TextEdit - the whole of OS X's display system is actually based around pdf technology so it's easy for the system to integrate pdf tools. There are alternative tools available on MacUpdate but for reading TextEdit is fine.
wmv files should be opened with the Flip4Mac Quicktime plugin, Microsoft no longer support their own player on Mac and even supply the F4M plugin from their own download pages.
For Stuffit files (which are thankfully much rarer these days) I'd use The Unarchiver instead of Allume's fat cat.
To fix the other problem you could try changing your download location in Safari preferences, General - it may be that the location you are downloading to has the problem. You can pick anywhere you like just to test it out.

LabVIEW could not write the file back to disk (-2570)

Hello,
i use this MDF data storage plugin to write MDF files: mdf plugin
I created a project with some VI's like MDFOpen.vi, MDFClose.vi, MDFWriteDouble.vi, etc ...
I also created a Test VI which generates data at a specific rate (want to see performance) and write it to a MDF file. It works ....
Now I want to use this in C#. I compiled a LabView .Net DLL out of my MDF VI's and referenced it in Visual Studio. I can open a MDF File from C# and close it. But as soon as I write a double (actual content) into the MDF File I get an exception when I call MDFClose.vi from DLL. Obviously "Close Data Storage <APPEND>" from inside my MDFClose.vi returns error -2570: LabVIEW could not write the file back to disk. I have no idea why.
regards
Thomas

So I guess it's time to update this post for anyone who also have problems with MDF or Storage/DataPlugin VIs in general.
My task was to create a MDF Logger, so I needed to write MDF files. MDF4Lib from Vector mentioned in an above post can only read MDF files. ETAS is also selling an MDF Lib but there are reasons I don't want that. So why not use MDF Storage/DataPlugin from NI? I can tell you.
My MDF Logger is now finished and can create MDF files with groups and channels, just like TDMS, but ... when I write data in a loop and then finish by closing the MDF File/Reference it may happen that:
i get error LabVIEW could not write the file back to disk (-2570)
application crashes
both 1 and 2
If it does not crash or throw an error it succeeds finishing my MDF file correctly but next time I repeat this (without restarting application) I notice writing data takes longer than in first run and my memory is increasing. The more I repeat the longer it takes to write data to MDF and the more memory is increasing until it finally crashes. It also depends on how much data in how many groups/channels are written.
NI Support already got this and confirmed that with desktop execution tracekit you will see that with each call to a Storage/DataPlugin VI references are leaking. Those leaks are assumed to be the root cause of all that trouble. There is not bugfix but apparently one or more CAR's about this. So I guess this is not MDF specific but generally with Storage/DataPlugin.
My current only workaround is to close the app each time after I am done writing one MDF file. My future fix will be to implement MDF on my own.

CS5 "Not enough scratch memory available" error when there's plenty of it.

Illustrator CS5 throws this error:
Adobe Save For Web AI Error
Could not complete this operation. There is not enough scratch memory available.
OK
when trying to save for web. The content has a lot of linked images, around 1000x1000 px each, used with clipping masks, drop shadows and glows at 300dpi.
I realize that this might be hard to flatten for JPEG and I'd be fine with long processing times (which I get) but out of memory?.. Here's my config:
Illustrator CS5
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Intel Core i7 920
6GB RAM
Total pagefile size: 24GB.
Primary scratch disk - 155GB free.
Secondary scratch disk - 544GB free.
Those are all gigabytes, not megabytes, no mistake. There's NO WAY that there's not enough scratch memory available.
And this is how the process looks:
Physical memory usage at this point is 62%, Commit charge - 15%.
Currently, I can work around this by making a screenshot of "Original" tab in Save for Web dialogue when it's there - because sometimes it's just a pink-filled window.
So, Adobe, any suggestions, please?

Asmodeus,
Illustrator CS5 has some improvements to how Raster Effects are rendered on screen. So even if you use 72ppi DRES, you would see very little/no difference compared to 300ppi DRES - i.e., pixelization issues would be almost non-existent.
Could you try this out & come back with your findings?
Also if you just want to send something to other people for Previews, maybe a PDF with the 'Smallest File Size' Preset be good enough. These can be viewed with the (free) Adobe Reader.

Photoshop CS3 "Not enough scratch memory available" error.

Hi,
I am Using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Version 10.0 and I keep getting the error "Not enough Scratch memory available to perform this action" whenever I try to Save a .psd file to a .jpg/.jpeg file.
I did go to Edit -> Preferences -> Performance, and add my other two partitions as scratch disks, also put up my E: drive as the primary scratch disk on the top of the list (Which has 80GB's of space) but I still keep getting this error.
My file (the .psd that i am trying to save to a .jpg) has a total size of 56MB and 300dpi with 4 or 5 layers in it and the target jpg file is supposed to be 12inches by 20inches.
Some other things I have tried is celaring the %temp% folder, Defragmenting my Hard Drive(s), Disk Cleanup, set my System Page file to 4GB, but all this is of no use.
I know that I have enough RAM and Hard disk space so please help me get rid of this problem.
Also, this maybe a stupid question but, does the type of RAM and Processor you are using effect this? I have a DDR RAM.. 2GB, I know its outdated, its our office computer I am working on.. My Processor is a Core 2 Duo which isnt bad.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Client_text_io does not write the file but does create it.

Hello there!
I have a form which generates a .txt file using client_text_io webutil function.
this is the procedure:
PROCEDURE CREA_FILE IS
MYFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
OUTFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
MFILE VARCHAR2(1000);
MLINE VARCHAR2(5000);
RESP NUMBER;
BEGIN
MLINE:='LINE TO WRITE...';
MFILE := C:\test.txt;
OUTFILE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN(MFILE,'w');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.put_line(OUTFILE, MLINE || ' 123');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(OUTFILE);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
     CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(MYFILE);
     message('ERROR: '||SQLERRM);
END;
It works on OAS 10g + forms 10g. the file is created fine, BUT I have tried with forms 11g unsuccessful.
My forms 11g are running under weblogic and the RedHat server.
Im running the forms app from my laptop Windows XP.
I configured webutil as the MOS note said, the thing is, the file is created, but no data is writted.
I can open the file test.txt but the line I tried to print is not there, the same thing with 10g and the file is good.
help me please.

What are you doing after writing to the file? Are you leaving the form? Forms performs event bundling when sending data over to java beans;
v_FILE_HANDLE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN (FPATH, 'W'); most certainly uses get_custom_property at the end to retrieve the file handle from the bean which will cause a "synchronize" as data must be retrieved from the bean before continuing in the PL/SQL code whereas
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Put_line(v_FILE_HANDLE,v_string_prov);
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE (v_FILE_HANDLE); most certainly uses set_custom_property which is a one-way street and data is bundled up and sent as one package. If you have e.g. a exit_form right after those calls there is a chance that forms waits for some other data to be sent over to the bean but won't send it, as the form doesn't exist anymore after the exit_form. The same would happen if you'd do a
v_FILE_HANDLE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN (FPATH, 'R');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE (v_FILE_HANDLE); right after writing your form as fopen will cause the sync (with the possibility that java will still hold a file lock on the file as the fclose method won't be called).
cheers

Camileo H10 do not write the files to SD card

Hello,
I have bought a Camileo H10 in December. It is a nice cam, but sometimes I record a video in HD format, the file will not stored on the SD card.
I have tried an 8GB class 2 and a 16GB class 6 SD card. This problem caused highly intermitted, when I record a video not the first time in lifecycle.
Another problem is, on the videos, the audio stream is to fast. When the audio is played, the pictures run 10% longer than the audio.
Did anyone knows, there is a firmware update available?
Thanks
Stefan

> sometimes I record a video in HD format, the file will not stored on the SD card.
First of all you should check if the SD card is not locked the SD cards supports an lock which would not allow you to format the SD card or to store something on such card.
Furthermore you should take a look into the user manual and should check what SD cards are supported!
> Another problem is, on the videos, the audio stream is to fast. When the audio is played, the pictures run 10% longer than the audio. Did anyone knows, there is a firmware update available?
Why you need a firmware update? Do you think this is a firmware problem??
I believe that this has nothing to do with the firmware or with an cam problem.
My father has got a HD cam and such issue appeared also with the recorded High definition video.
The problem is that your video must be converted and you need the right codec

My iPhone 4s won't update to is07 it keeps saying verifying then an error window comes up saying the software update is not available at this time?! Anyone else having this problem??

My iPhone 4S has downloaded the new update for the Is07 update but when it comes to installing it I click the agree thing and then it says verifying update and an error pops up some time later saying update software is unavailable at this time try again later is anyone else having this issue???

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

Pro 9 Users Receive "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Users with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Windows XP) are not able to open PDFs created on the server. They receive the error message:
“There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.”
Even if the users save to disk and try to re-open, the error still occurs.
This error did not surface in our QA testing because we were testing with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8. What can the difference be? Is there additional information that I can look for in order to troubleshoot this?
Thank you for looking at my post. Please provide guidance in trying to resolve this issue.

So, I'm not sure how much this will help but if you save the pdf AHW_Test_05112009xx.pdf and open it in a text editor, and go all the way down to the bottom where the %%EOF marker is, it looks as if the html page is getting appended to the end of the pdf. I recieved the "This file was damaged..." error in Adobe 7.1.0 when trying to open it but if you remove the html at the end, it opens up just fine.
It appears that whatever's appending the html to the end is causing the issue.
Below is what the file looks like near the end after the EOF:
startxref
400771

Could not write the AIF file (session error)

I receive the error "Could not write the AIF file (session error)" when trying to record to Sound Track using any of my USB input microphones. Does anybody know how to resolve the problem?
Also, does anybody have any suggestions about what product to use to produce good multi-track audio files. I am interested in both a hardware and a software solution. It seems that using the standard Apple software that comes on the new G5s does not offer any good solutions.

Update to Snow Leopard then update Final Cut Studio. Chances are your problem will have been fixed.
In my experience, in previous iterations of STP there were a number of serious bugs related to saving files. Running everything up-to-date, however, I am no longer having those problems (knock on wood).

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Good Day all
When busy doing internet banking on www.absa.co.za and I try to print a confirmation, I get the following error message: "C:\Documents and Settings\%user profile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\%folder name%\%file name%.pdf
Could not open file.
File not found."
I've managed to locate the actual file that it's looking for, but when I try and open the file using either Adobe or Foxit Reader, I get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I've un-installed Adobe and installed version 9.1 for this particular user. This happened a while ago and then an un-installation and re-installation of Adobe solved the issue. This time, unfortunately, it didn't. I then un-installed Adobe and tried again, UNSUCCESSFULLY. So I loaded Foxit Reader, also without any success.
If there's anyone out there who could possibly help, please do so... It's extremely urgent.
Please find the errors attached as well.

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exporting PDF files from SSRS 2012 - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

Good day
I have the situation where we are exporting PDF files from reporting services in our website.
When dividing the data into sections, the report exports perfectly, but when exporting the entire set and trying to open the file, we get the following error in Adobe Reader:
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
We tried to repair the file, no luck. We tried to use different PDF readers, no luck
We then checked the file sizes. When exporting the subsections, each section exports a file of about 2mb.
When exporting the entire set, the file is about 1.3mb.
Adding all the sections together gives me a rough estimate of 40mb.
Exporting to TIFF works beautifully and returns a file of 41.5mb. Word and Excel formats also work well, only issue there is the page numbering and formatting.
The problem we have is the clients are adamant about having it in PDF format.
Any advice please?

This was one of the temporary suggestions I gave the client...
Unfortunately they do not like this as the page numbering and formatting in Word does not appear right. We are talking about over 1300 pages. I can't expect them to change the formatting with each export. Additionally, the data is
constantly changing and each client has their own data. The clients export the reports randomly. I therefore can't post the reports back onto the server.
Thanks for the speedy response though
