Installers failing to write files under library

Many of the installers are failing to write files below '/library'
Everytime i install anything from an installer like ezdrummer etc. it gives a message saying installer couldn't install some files in "/library/audio/plug-ins/vst" or something similar.
I have tried out several things like repairing disk permissions and verfying disk with disk utility. (Verify disk stated that the disk was ok.)
I also have a partition for Bootcamp on my system does it in anyway cause this problem? Does it have anything to do with the fact that it may just not be for the mac os x lion?
Running Mac OS X 10.7.2 on late 2011 macbook pro (i5 processor).

On my Mac I did find a folder /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST.  I would run the installer again, this time noting the exact file named in the complaint.  Then start with /Library and do a Finder File > Get Info at each level of the hierarchy down to and including the file(s) named in the message.  On my Mac all the folders in that hierarchy have these permissions: system, Read & Write, wheel, Read only, everyone, Read only.  The few files I checked in VST had the same permission, except for a few that my user in place of system and/or admin or staff in place of wheel.  What do you see?

  • Using digital editions 2.0, I cannot transfer books downloaded to digital editions from library to my nook.  Error message: failed to write destination file.

    Using digital editions 2.0, I cannot transfer books downloaded to digital editions from the library to my nook.  I get an error message: failed to write destination file. At first, this happened once in a while but now every time. Help!!!

    Modern kobo books should just use regular Adobe DRM and be readable on compatible ereaders that are authorized to the correct Adobe ID.
    I understand older kobo book had different DRM: but I wouldn't expect those to
    When Adobe DRM book information say 'no copying', that generally means no copying outside those Adobe DRM limitations.
    You should be able to copy within the restrictions.  You can double-check that with the sellers (Kobo).
    Just double-checking
    the pocket book is Adobe DRM compatible?
    that you have authorized your pocket book with your current Adobe ID?
    menu/Help/Authorize Device when plugged into ADE:  Library/Authorize Device if using the older more reliable ADE 1.7.2
    If the pocket book is already authorized but to a different ID, you will need to deauthorize it first, ctrl-shift-E to ADE with device plugged in (or cmd-shift-E on Mac).
    Be aware that will lose the ability to read DRM books authorized with the previous ID.

  • Ebook error message: "Fail to write destination file error"

    I am attempting to transfer ebooks (checked out via my library's ebook consortium) from Adobe Digital Editions to my Nook. I have done this in the past with no issues, but recently I have been getting the following error message: "Fail to write destination file error".
    I know the issue is NOT lack of space on my Nook (I cleared it of all info and still received the error message).

    I had this problem as well, and after doing some research via google (because I found NOTHING helpful in adobe forums), I found the problem....my Nook was full.  I had no idea this was even possible!  But, I borrow a lot of library books, and didn't realize that after they expire, they are still taking up space on my Nook.  Here's how to check: plug your Nook into your computer, go to file manager (right-click the start button in Windows), find the Nook drive and right click, choose properties.  This should show you a pie chart of used/free space on your Nook.  If this is the case, you need to remove some files from your Nook.  For me, I had to find the Digital Editions file and delete all the thumbnails and actual files for the library books.  If it's booked you've purchased, perhaps you need to archive some books.  Hope this helps!

  • Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code "3", Note: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M25 File.

    I keep getting this error message about 11gb into burning a 22gb Blu-ray. "Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code "3", Note: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M25 File." I have tried just about everything from running as administrator, starting a new project and changing the disc too. I am using CS6 and going crazy... any ideas?

    Hi,
    First try to create Bly Ray Image Under option 'Output" Select BluRay Image, and also select the destination to create Image and click on Build, It will create a BluRay Image with extension of .iso. Now to burn BluRay Disc, you need to Select BluRay Disc under 'Output' Option and Below under 'Source' Option select BluRay Image instead of current project and Select the destination where you have put .iso Image, Then click on Build and it will burn BluRay disc.
    In simple , First create an Image then Burn that image to BluRay .
    I hope, it will help you.
    Thanks

  • I get the following error: Error log file location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers

    I get the error U44M1P7 Error log file location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers
    Does anyone have an idea what I need to do?  Thanks

    Did you ever find a solution? I am in sort of the same boat. I even had an Adobe rep try to help me. For some reason my Adobe App Manager does not work on my Macbook. It orginally did but one day it just would not launch. After numerous attempts of uninstalling and re-installing without success, the only workaround solution was to create another user on my Macbook and install the Application Manager on that user's account. I can then download the apps / programs and updates from there. When I log out of that user and back into my main account the Adobe programs work....well most of them. I have noticed that certain programs, like Muse will launch and work correctly under my second user account but it will not luanch without error on the main account.
    The fact that no one at Adobe seems to be able to provide a solution is frustraing. Everything worked fine one day, then its all messed up. Switching users is not an ideal solution at all.

  • HT1751 Consolidating ITunes Library Failed - message received: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" . Please help - how to i fix this issue?

    I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long."  Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue.   My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic

    You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
    I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.

  • How to write content of the file under folder

    Hi Experts,
    I have following scenario, I have list of files under folder in local desktop(for eg D:\mani)
    I have only filename, using this filename i want to search and get content of the particular file and write in some other location? how to do that? give your suggestions?
    Regards,
    P.Manivannan

    You could go two ways here:
    The first possibility requires that (a) you know what operating system you are working with, and (b) you only need to copy the file, and not do anything else with the contents of it. In this case, probably the easiest way to do this is to use a Runtime exec command for the file you want to copy:
    java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cp D:\mani D:\mani2" );Otherwise, if you need your code to be portable, you can't assume anything about the operating system. Since java.io.File doesn't provide a copy method, you will need to read the entire contents of the file into the vm, and then write them out to a new file. Also, if you need to use the contents of your file in some other way, as well, then you also need to read the entire contents into the vm. In this second case, how you read the file may depend on what kind of data the file contains.
    In general, the following code should work for you:
    final FileInputSteam  fis = new FileInputStream ( new File( "D:\mani"  ) );
    final FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( new File( "D:\mani2" ) );
    final byte [] buf = new byte[ 1024 ];
    int bytesRead;
    while ( ( bytesRead = fis.read( buf ) ) != 0 )
        fos.write( buf, 0, bytesRead );Don't forget to catch or throw IOException.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and  in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! The files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in my itunes library but can play them - there is an exclamation mark next

    I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

    Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    Missing tracks
    Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
    Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Getting "file failed to write" error while syncing.

    I am syncing IPADs and IPODs (big family) over USB to a windows based machine.  During large syncs it often fails with a message like "file failed to write."  It is random as to which file fails.  In fact if I keep trying it eventually syncs everything.  It's like each file has some chance of failure and I just need to try enough times.  It takes forever.  Please help!
    Some details
    - I have updated with latest iTunes
    - I have tried different USB cables and USB slots on the computer
    Thanks.

    Check out this Apple article -> 'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
    If you have a USB hub, try removing it and connecting the iPad or iPod to the back of the computer. If it isn't caused by the USB connection, the article suggestions will be a good place to start.

  • Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

    Summary:
    With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
    Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
    The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
    If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
    We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
    It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers!
    Expected Results:
    Error -43: file not found
    Actual Results:
    The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
    Regression:
    All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
    Notes:
    All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

    Not sure what file your are referencing?  Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
    It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
    i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
    they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
    If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works!  Same path, same user, same permissions.
    The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG.  If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

  • Unable to write to library iPhoto library Check that you have permission to write to the library directory

    I think my iPhoto memory is full. I cannot get in to delete photos.  When I open it I get the Unable to write to library iPhoto libraryCheck that you have permission to write to the library directory" and i can't do anything else. I tried alt/cmd first aid and it didn't work.
    I want to get in and move pics over to a USB stick drive but cannot get past the Unable to write to library..message.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards

  • HT1751 Consolidating files failed.  The file name was invalid or too long.  How to trouble shoot this?

    I am trying to move my iTunes library from old XP PC to Windows 7 PC, using an external hard drive.  Using tutorial and signed in as administrator.  Trying to consolidate my library and receive error message " Copying files fail. The file name was invalid or too long".    Don't know what to do as next step.   The library is sitting on the hard drive under the Administrator ID (My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music).  
    Any thoughts?

    You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
