    I've been getting this error message Lightroom cannot start because it cannot create files in the temporary file location “/var/folders/lK/lKbPbq2OF0aPCbMnDc erE   TI/-Tmp-”
    I've also been getting others errors about cannot create or modify temporary files when trying to install other programs.  Also some of my documents on my computer will not open and crash. 
    Any help would be helpful.
    I've tried doing this as read not sure if it helps:
    ls -Odel $TMPD
    This is what I had in response:

    I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
    cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
    that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
    thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
    chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
    original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
    memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
    software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
    would open up with my current problem.

  • 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.

  • ACR Raw images wont copy to Jpeg or Tiff; as it fails with "Cannot Create File"

    Requesting immediate help if anyone available currently
    I've been using Photoshop CS6 for several years, never a problem at all. As soon as I bought Creative Cloud, I see many issues that cannot be resolved or are recurring.
    Again today as I go to copy files (images) from Adobe Camera Raw, to say a Tiff or a Jpeg, it appears to begin to copy as normal, then suddenly a box appears with all my copying
    file name/numbers, and it begins to eliminate one by one "Cannot Create File", failing the entire process to copy. I have never seen this until I began using Creative Cloud about a
    month ago.
    Can anyone help this Saturday evening as i am trying to complete a large project of images for others who expect them soon.?
    Thank you and I look forward to any advice soon,

    Hi Rick
    Thanks for clarifying that. Yes, that term was my mistake, as I meant to write 'Save As"
    Another forum respondent just replied also, and he states as so many others do, that they do not use
    the Adobe Camera Raw app formerly with CS6, as they instead use Lightroom, so he apologized that he
    was not familiar with ACR but that I might have an old CS6 plug-in running that may not be completely
    compatible with the new Creative Cloud. I am not sure if this is the problem.
    What I would find as not really likely, is that the Creative Cloud engineers would go through all the trouble
    to redesign from the old CS6, then even assist us over the phone to help install it, but in oversight,
    leave us without a proper update to properly run Adobe Camera Raw. I also have never really understood the advantage of Lightroom. I'm sure that many must enjoy its efficiency, as I hear wedding photographers like it for huge batch processing of adjusting many images in synchronicity all at once. I would say that I do the same with ACR accessing it through Bridge, and I like ACR's quick and simple access for simple image adjustments and then say a small batch all synchronized, then finally to "Save As" for all selected to a final output as Tiff or Jpeg.
    As an astronomer that has just started learning to use Registax for night sky images, we also like the ACR adjustments and then to "Save As" eg. all Jpeg or all Tiff, to then photo-stitch large landscape and night sky panoramas with Microsoft ICE photo-stitching.
    Sorry for the long description here, but I hope to relate the total idea of what I am doing for the past years. I'll even attach an example >
    Thanks for your possible solution to my problem in "Saving As" in ACR,
    Mark

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot create file "/Applications/ " Permission denied.

    When installing new software Iget the following error message: "Cannot create file "/Applications/ ". Permission denied. I have used disk utilities to try to repair my permissions with no sucsess. I have also tried reinstaling the software. Any advise is appreciated.
    I am using Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and Safari 8.0.4

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    My only backup is version 8.2 and will not open my itunes library - is there a workaround for this?
    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.+
    +3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
    +4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
    +6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
    +You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
    +And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.
    good luck !
