it says save operation could not be completed when I make a new project... what happened?

This is happening to me as well. No solutions from anyone. When it happens, it does not matter which drive I try to save to ... it won't create a new event or project ANYWHERE. I usually have to reboot.

    Hi
    And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Save operation could not be completed in final cut

    I am trying to create a new event in fcpx , and I 1tb left on my ex drive. But keep getting " save operation could not be completed... Any idea what to do to fix

    You can't repair permissions on a disk drive that doesn't have an OS on it. I did do a "repair drive" on each and they came back reporting no problems. As I said, when this happens (and I got it again this morning), I am not able to save a project or event to ANY DRIVE, and I tried them all. Rebooting always fixes it.

  • "The operation could not be completed" when doing Save for web

    Hi
    I have just installed Photoshop CS5.1 on my new iMac with Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). Everytime I try to do a 'Save for web' I get this error message "The operation could not be completed". After that Photoshop also hangs. I've tried many solutions offered in forums and the like, but nothing helps. I am getting quite desperate...Anybody?

    I found out the following:
    When I write in Terminal:
    sudo chmod -R u+w ~/Library/Preferences
    sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Library/Application\ Support
    The error message disappears, until I do a restart of the computer. Then the error is back.
    My suspiscion is that the error came up after moving files from my old computer to my new one.
    It happened even before I installed Lion...
    So now I'm thinking of doing a complete new install on Lion, not an upgrade and then install Photoshop again. But I am not really looking forward to this :-(

    Thanks.

    It's a POP account. I decided to clean up my mailbox today after noticing the computer was real slow after USA Today started sending their daily top stories with new graphics. Also before I noticed the problem with mail deletion - two things happened. 1) I updated security sofware as prompted by Apple and 2) downloaded Mackeeper and went throught some preliminary scans but did not buy their package. Thanks forn nstaying with me.

  • Quicktime Operation could not be completed when trying to save

    I have recently been watching webinars online and have been using Quicktime to record these so I can go back when I have more time to study them and learn from them.  I have run into an issue when I go to save my most recent file.  I get the error message "The operation could not be completed".  I have plenty of disk space on my computer along with an external hard drive.  I ran into this problem once before when I was saving directly to the external hard drive and I switched to saving on my desktop and then moving to the external.  This solution is not working any longer.  The recording is 6 hours long and I would really hate to lose it.  Any help on how I can get this file to save would be greatly appreciated.

    So I had this as well.
    I went to the file tab and went to export. From there I picked 720p and it worked. It may be different for you depending on the resolution of the video. hopefully it works for you too!

  • The operation could not be completed - When attempting to print

    I have recently downloaded cutePDF writer in order to print my vbcode into pdfs because my instructor was complaining about how my code looked after copy and pasting it into a word document and then saving as a pdf. after attempting to print several times
    i attempted to print to a real printer and that wouldnt work either. i get an error message "The operation could not be completed" and nothing happens. Thanks in advance :).

    Hi AaronBootss,
    I am afraid that your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    If you got this issue when you print a pdf document to a real printer, maybe you can contact someone who is familiar with your printer and print operation for help.

  • 'Operation could not be completed' when trying to load a displacement map

    Im running PS CS6 13 x64 on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2. I want to load a displacement map but when I'm in the Displace dialogue box and I click OK I get 'Operation could not be completed' Any ideas? it's pretty urgent and have been on hold on the Adobe helpline for 30 minutes so far!!!!

    Anything particular about the files (Color Mode, size, …)?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • HT4098 Why after few in app purchases I get a message saying "your purchase could not be completed" when I try to buy more in app stuff?

    Why after few in app purchases I get a message that "your purchase could not be completed" when I try to do more in app purchases?!?! It's annoying!!

    Sometimes rapid purchases look suspicious if you have a credit card attached to your account.  Store credit takes a minute to catch up depending if the balance is low on the account.  May want to check balance or with credit card company.

  • Your Save operation could not be completed

    Hi,
    I started Photoshop Express Online on my Windows 7 computer using Firefox. I uploaded some pictures. All was fine.
    When I edit a picture however (which itself is working fine, too) I only get the error message shown in the title. This is happening when I try to save any picture, edited or non edited. A download of the original picture onto my desktop using Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer works fine.
    What to do?

    Hello Mark,
    thanks, it is working now.
    Best regards
