Every time I download a large file in safari (mavericks version) at the end i get the error cannot write file. help

evrytime i dowload a file on my macbook pro it tells me at the end that it cannot write the File. Small files download Ok but Large files do not.
Help Please.
mackbook pro 13 late 2012 upgraded to Mavericks restored backup from M lion with time Machine.
Thx

I am experiencing this as well. I've found a workaround. Once you know the file has stopped (the Safari download menu says it cannot write the file) then do the following:
1. Open the Downloads folder.
2. Open Terminal.
3. In Terminal type "cd " and then drag the "incomplete" .download file to terminal (this just copies the path), then hit "Return" and you will change into the directory.
4. Type "ls -l" and you should see within the .download bundle, the complete file is actually there and complete.
5. Now, let's say the file name is "file.mp4" type "mv file.mp4 ../" and it will be moved out of the bundle one level up into the Downloads folder. You may need to enclose the file name in quotes if it has any special characters.
6. You can now drag the .download container to the trash, and the file should be fine.

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

10.1 upgrade install error message: "error cannot write file"

I have just installed a clean copy of os 9.2 onto my powerbook g4. When I try to upgrade with the included cd mac os x 10.1 it errors out about half way through the install. I get the error message : "installition could not continue due to errors" " error cannot write file". I am mainly a pc guy, but want to be fluent with macs to. Has anyone seen this error before and/or know a resolution? Thanks. All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Again atadams77!
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
As has been posted, your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements.
If you install that, use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."
AppleRescue, sells a Tiger installation set on CD

Weird error: "Cannot write file summary in a read-only environment"

Disclaimer: We are using an old version of bdb - 3.2.76 but are not able to easily upgrade.
We see this occasionally in production. From looking at the code it looks like critical eviction is happening since more memory is used then the limit we set then eviction is happening but then failing since the env is read only. I'm just wondering how it got to this point. we set the max size (je.maxMemory) to 1572864 bytes.
This is not urgent but is adding noise to logs so any suggestions would be welcome...

Hi Nick,
It is strange to me also that this is happening in a read-only env. Looking at the code, we don't prevent this sort of eviction in the 3.2 release or later releases. Yet we've never seen this problem before.
This sort of eviction only happens when writing is occurring. Of course, in a read-only env there is no writing. The only way I can think of for this to occur in a read-only env is when there is a very large recovery interval -- the amount of log between the last checkpoint start and the end of the log. This can occur if you didn't close the env cleaning when you last wrote to it, or if the last checkpoint just happened to be very large.
So one thing you could try is to ensure that you have a small checkpoint when you write to the log, before opening it in read-only mode. To do this, just before you call Environment.close, call Environment.checkpoint(new CheckpointConfig().setForce(true)). This will do one checkpoint before closing the env, and then another during the close. The last checkpoint should be small.
If you can't do this, or it isn't sufficient, you could increase the je.cleaner.detailMaxMemoryPercentage env config property. This is the max amount of memory (% of total cache) used for the information that is being evicted. Since nothing can really be evicted in read-only mode, there is no harm in setting this to a much higher value than the default (2). I would try 10. This doesn't reserve or waste any memory, it just prevents this sort of eviction from occurring until a larger part of the cache is used. This is probably the simplest solution.
A third approach is to simply accept that this sort of eviction will be attempted, but try to prevent the exception. If you're willing to rebuild JE (and you're not a supported Oracle customer -- please contact us if you are), then you could simply replace the 'throws' statement with a 'return null' in src/com/sleepycat/je/cleaner/UtilizationProfile.java:
    private synchronized PackedOffsets putFileSummary(TrackedFileSummary tfs)
        throws DatabaseException {
        if (env.isReadOnly()) {
            throw new DatabaseException
                ("Cannot write file summary in a read-only environment");
        }--mark

Every time i try to start firefox or try and do anything within it I get "TypeError: gILTFFObj is undefined" Please help as this only happened since the new upgrade was offered

We were offered the new upgrade, so went ahead and completed the upgrade. Since then every time we open firefox, or try and do anything with it after it's open, such as clicking links or trying to browse the following message comes up: "TypeError: gILTFFObj is undefined" Don't know what this is but it is very annoying.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"

Storage Spaces, Get-FileIntegrity error: cannot find file

Problem:
When I run Get-FileIntegrity in PS on a file that exists in a Storage Spaces ReFS Mirror, I get the following error message:
Get-FileIntegirty : The system cannot find the file specified. FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070002,Get-FileIntegrity (See screenshot for full error).
I tried on several different files. I opened the files on the Storage Spaces volume to make sure they existed and could be opened. I tried with several files. I also tried piping Get-Item into Get-FileIntegrity (sugested
here). I tried several variations in syntax. No luck.
I am following the
usage from technet.
I am new to powershell and Storage Spaces.
Any ideas on how to make the command work?
Background:
I installed the evaluation version of Windows 8.1 Enterprise on new hardware (ASUS Z97, Intel i5, 8GB memory). I have 3 drives attached: The system drive, and two 2GB drives (one is a 4Samsung, the other is a 2 year old WD Green). Both drives
work fine. They were in use before and I ran CrystalDiskMark on them.

Hi kappa16,
The Get-FileIntegrity cmdlet gets integrity information for a file on a Resilient File System (ReFS) volume.
Make sure the volume is formatted as ReFS. Or you will fail to run this command.
For your question, here is the output of both situations:

My files are not uploading; progress bar stops and I get an error message

Last night (dec. 23) I was trying to upload 30 photo files. The progress bar works, but it either stalls or at the end I get an error message. These are time critical, I have a client waiting for the photos. I tried sending just a couple of photos, but the same issue happens. Please give me a solution.

Hi Lory Hawley,
Have you been able to upload your files? What is the error that you're receiving?
For starters, please try the following:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported browsers).
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Every time i download a compilation cd or a rap cd where there is multiple rappers on any given song the entire cd gets split into individual files.Is there a way to put it into one singular file like all the other cds?

Every time i download compilation cds each song saves sepertaly because each song is by a diferant artist. Is there a way to save it under 1 file like all the other cds?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
