IMovie error - cannot create file when I attempt to share

I am using MAC OS X 10.9.5, iMovie 10.0.5.  I have successfully create many movies by using Share to file - of long and short sizes. This particular time I made couple of minor edits to my movie which had previous shared to file with no problem, and when I went to Share to File I get an error message. The Share fails with the error "cannot create file".
I have plenty of disk space.
All other applications are closed, just imovie running.
The destination is the mac internal hard drive.
I deleted imovie and re-installed it.
I deleted the Render Files.
No luck.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
Super frustrated.
Thanks.

maybe. you could try this:
to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
+1) Quit iTunes.+
+2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+

  • Cannot create file when trying to download

    Have an early 2006 iMac 17 inch with Intel chip running OSX 10-47 using Safari
    Quite suddenly, when I try to download anything (widgets, any applications etc) I now get the error message "Cannot create file" and am unable to download.
    Safari used to work fine but now won't let me download anything!
    Help!

    It still sounds like you are trying to download to a
    folder with insufficient permissions to allow you to
    create files.
    Try creating a new folder on your Desktop, say
    Downloads for example, and change the Safari
    preferences so that this is the download location.
    Now when you try to download, does it still fail?
    If it does fail, try using Safari in another user
    account.
    This will help us to know whether your problem is
    local to your account or system wide. If you don't
    have another account you can use System Preferences
    -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to
    remove it if needed)
    OK I followed the suggestion and created a new folder for downloads in my own home directory as suggested and lo and behold, I can now download again!
    Thanks!
    However, how did I suddenly lose permission to download to my desktop?

    Hi
    Thank you for using
    Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
    From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
    Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
    Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
    Trusted Locations.
    If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
    box.
    Click Add new location.
     IMPORTANT   We recommended that you don't make your entire
    Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
    In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
    locate the folder.
    If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
    Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
    In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.

  • Error when Share to File "The share operation 'File' has failed. Cannot create file."

    Upgraded to Mavericks and the new iMovie. Imported a video from iPhone 5 to edit, and then tried to Share File.
    Error every time, it says that "The share operation 'File' has failed. Cannot create file." It does not give any error number that would help figuring out the problem.
    Late 2011 MacBookPro with 8 GB and over 150 GB free on HD.
    Imported several other videos from various sources, and always the same result when trying to Share to File.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem with a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retina; iMovie version 10.0.3. I'm not sure why either. It was working fine until one day it quit exporting to file at all.

  • Download error message - "Cannot Create File"

    Recently I developed a problem and am unable to download anything (files, software, etc) from any website. I begin a download, the download manager comes up and it shows an error message "Cannot Create File." I am using the default manager that is incorporated in OS X 10.3.9.
    I never had a problem until a week or so ago when I downloaded a software demo. I decided to get the full software package and trashed the demo files per the company's instructions. I got the error message when I tried to download the full program and now get the message no matter what I attempt to download. Might I have trashed a file I wasn't supposed to trash?
    I tried installing 10.3.9 again on my main drive but still have the problem. If I use an external hard drive with spare copy of 10.3.9 and make that my start up drive, I can download files successfully.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • LV 8.2.1 reinstallation error 1301: Cannot create file

    Hi,
    I was forced to uninstall LV 8.2.1 and reinstall it. When I'm reinstalling LV 8.2.1 I get an error message
    Error 1301. Cannot create file ". A directory with the same name already exists. Cancel the install and try installing to a different location.
    (Abort, Retry, Ignore).
    This error is somehow related to the fact that after uninstalling LV 8.2.1 LabVIEW 8.2 installation directory still remains with some stuff in the user.lib and other folders. I'm always using OpenG packages and I didn't uninstall them so that may be the reason. I also used DataAct class browser with LabVIEW.
    The problem is that I cannot uninstall my OpenG packages before I can get my LabVIEW installed again as VI Package Manager reposinsible for installing OpenG packages doesn't work without installed version of LabVIEW. And I cannot get my LabVIEW correctly installed because of this error. I can press ignore and the installation procedes but I don't know whet it didn't do because of the error.
    I guess this error is a bug in LV 8.2.1 isntaller so would some of NI application engineers help, please.
    For now I press Ignore.

    You will get this error if the installer is trying to install a file that has the same name as a folder at that location. For example lets say the installer has a file called "sample" that should go in LabVIEW\examples folder. Now lets say there was a folder called "LabVIEW\examples\sample". Windows wont let you copy that "sample" file in the same location that contains a "sample" folder. The failure is not an error in the installer.
    The problem with the 8.2.1 installer is that it is not telling you what file this failure occurred on. It is trying to, but the string is not formatted correctly and it just says "cannot create file ." The actual file name should be where the "." is.
    You can usually tell what file it failed on from the text above the progress bar where it says what file is being copied. The best way to see what failed was to get an installation log file.

  • "Cannot create file" error in Safari

    I've created a new user (my wife), and when attempting to download a new Widget in Safari, I'm getting a "Cannot create file" message in the Downloads window. When I log back in as myself, no problem, so I'm guessing the issue has to do with the new user. I also notice that Safari is still trying to use my old keychain, despite switching my wifes to the default. I've tried fixing permissions, etc, but no joy. Suggestions?

    Nemmine. I had Safari set to save downloads to the Desktop, not realizing it was still trying to access my desktop, not my wifes. Browsed to the new desktop, problem solved.

    oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

  • Invalid media. Cannot create file" popup when generating

    Okay, the background. I'm currently using RoboHelp HTML 11.0.3.268, with the latest updates as I write this, having updated from RoboHelp HTML 9. (I know that people will ask, and I understand, so I'm stating as much information up front to ensure that nobody has any questions of their own.) My main RoboHelp project is broken down into eight separate subprojects, with an output of CHM and WebHelp HTML files. In addition, my supervisor had an issue with viewing the new RoboHelp 11-generated HTML files in Google Chrome, so I found and added the RH11 files recommended by RoboHelp Help (WebHelp issues in RoboHelp versions 10 and 11). Immediately after doing this, though, I cannot generate WebHelp files.As soon as I select between any of the WebHelp Settings menu, a popup appears that reads "Invalid media. Cannot create file", followed with the directory path of the project's main .htm page.  Short of reinstalling RoboHelp HTML, what options do I have to be able to generate a valid set of WebHelp files?

    Here's the RH 11.0.3 files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B97LY22mEkjqemJobkRmRmg2RFU/view?usp=sharing Add the files to the template_stock folder.
    The Chrome freezing up should be solved in RoboHelp 10/11. On RoboHelp 9, no amount of fixes will make Chrome work locally. If your manager tries the 11 WebHelp it should work fine.
    Kind regards,
    Willam

  • Error message: Cannot create file

    I have recently merged two users on a 10.4.11 OS machine and ever since I've been unable to download a file in safari. The download window shows the requested file with a message reading:"cannot create file". There's plenty of space on disk so cannot be that.
    I have swapped around the Library Safari preferences between old and new users, i have deleted Safari preferences, I have installed safari 3.2.1, repaired permissions and so on but Safari will still not download any files. Is there a way to completely uninstall then reinstall, or should I just try Safari 4? or does this still use some plist files from older installations?
