Getting an Error 5 message when writing to a file

Running Windows 7 and getting this error 5 when trying to write to a file
It seems such a simple thing to do, I have used the write to file on other projects with no issues but
on this Win 7 machine ( and another also) it just doesn't want to play
Solved!

The reason the file was in a .ppt was because I did a screen snapshot and had to paste it into something.
I never knew about the Powerpoint thing.
The file was not open in anything, I canged the file so it left the default location that LV puts them in to a memory stick
and that worked fine and then I made a new folder on my C drive and that worked also.
I don't understand why it wouldn't work on the default Folder but I don't really care about that anymore.
Maybe just a Win7 thing

Is there a solution here?

I get this error message when I save some files "sty is null"

When I try to save some files I get an error message that says Unable to initialize the UI, sty is null. It happens mostly when saving files to an Aaptorefromtdotnet e commerce web site. If I click OK either it file saves or I get a second error message, exactly like above only with the added Prevent this page from creating additional settings. A check box is beside it. If I click in the check box and then OK, the file saves, but when using other options on the website, Firefox crashes.
Please let me know what this is and how do I eliminate it?
I am running an i Mac with Yosemite and a newly downloaded Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Eneas,
This is a case of file corruption.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

External media: 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 (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

How to avoid getting bogus error messages when running a build file?

Consider the following fragment in a build file:
<var name="component.key" value="provisioning.include.atk"/>
<var name="provisioning.include.atk.domain.hostname" value="localhost"/>
<echoNested>component.key.domain.hostname=${${component.key}.domain.hostname}<
/echoNested>
When we run with ant -v
Result:
Property "${component.key" has not been set
[echoNested] component.key.domain.hostname=localhost
Expected result:
[echoNested] component.key.domain.hostname=localhost
Can someone explain why I am getting the message "Property "${component.key" has not been set"?
Thanks,
Prasanna

In your ANT script you can not use "${${" together
Please refer to http://jaysensharma.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/ant_basics/
You can do something like this:
*"build.xml"*
<project name="webservices-complex" default="runSuccess">
<property name="component.key" value="localhost" />
<property name="component.key.domain.name" value="localhost" />
<target name="runSuccess" >
<echo message="${component.key}" />
</target>
<target name="runSuccess2" >
<echo message="${component.key.domain.name}" />
</target>
</project>

I am using elements 8 and have installed the latest RAW plug in, however I am still getting an error message when trying to open files. My camera (nikon d7100) shows as a supported camera. Any suggestions?

The plug in version is 6.2.0.29, which shows that is supports my camera.

Hi Sully172,
Please check the below link
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
It clearly states that D7100 requires a minimum camera raw version of 7.4
I would advise you to either use the camera raw dng converter or upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13.
Thanks

I get an error message when I try to save my images in Photoshop CS6

I get an error message when I'm trying to save my images. It reads as follows:
"Could not save because file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions or another file is using it"
The file is not locked (I unlocked the image as a layer), I am the administrator, and it wasn't being used elsewhere.
This has happened with all the images I've worked on in the past 90 minutes. Has anyone got a solution? I've never gotten this message before

Check that you actually have write permissions on the drive you are trying to save to. They can an do get changed.

HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync: "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation." It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with itunes on a Windows 7 laptop. When I go back to my music there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I have reinstalled iTunes

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop. I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop. I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again. Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again. I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Courtney,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone. It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

You may want to make sure you're installing the right version of itunes. If you have a 64bit system, you will need to make sure to download and install the 64bit version of iTunes.

I keep getting this error message when updating imovie "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20). Does anyone know how to fix?

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
"How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

HT4943 Error during download - I keep getting this error message when installing or updating apps

I subscribed to wired magazine and I am trying to download the first mag, however I keep getting an error message stating "error during download, try again later". I also get an error message when trying to resume paused updating of apps. I've tried turning ipad2 off and then on again but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

There are all basic troubleshooting steps that have worked for other users in the past that were having problems downloading and updating apps. YMMV .....
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
