My Project won't save to my USB Drive

Hi Guys!
I finally recorded my first rhythm track from my new Yamaha MOXF8 to LPX!
Here's my problem.
I can save the song (He Did It) to LPX on my internal hard drive (a 256GB SSD), but when I try to "Save as" it to my USB Thumb Drive (which I have saved successfully to in the past when recording from my previous keyboard), I get a window that says: "Export as: He Did It" and asks where to save it.
I tell it to save to LPX Copy (my USB Drive)
   a) I check "Folder" for "Organize my Project as".
    b) I check "Audio Files" for "Copy the following files into your Project".
    c) I hit "Save"
I then get a message that says "He Did It.logicx” already exists. Do you want to replace it?"
I choose "Replace".
I then get a message that says "The document “He Did It.logicx” could not be saved as “He Did It”.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I just tried copying the song to the Desktop first and then dragging it to the Thumb Drive.
When I tried that, I got a message that said there was not enough free disk space.
That is a good sign in that at least I didn't get a Message that said I couldn't move it there!
As an aside, I moved 75% of the songs from my usb drive to my desktop and then moved the songs I had just copied to the Trash.
But when I get the info about the thumb drive, it says it has 7.76GB used (it is a 8GB Drive).
Why is the Drive info saying that there is that much info there when I have either moved most of the songs tp my Desktop or Trash?

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions,
Did you get the flash drive from a reliable source. There are some available on the net that show a large capacity but are only 512 mb. or 1 gb. drives that have been altered to display a much larger capacity.
Good luck,

Project won't save

Has anyone had experience with projects not wanting to save? I mentioned the other day that I installed Windows 7 64-bit on a second partition, so now I can dual-boot with XP 32-bit or Windows 7. 7 has been working great so far except for this one project we have (that I had been working on in XP for the past three months) will not save in Windows 7.
When I choose save or hit Ctrl+s, the save dialog box comes up, but the bar never fills at all and the program stops responding. I'm not sure if this is a Windows 7 problem, or just this project acting funny for some reason. If I have to finish this project in XP, so be it, but I have noticed improvement in rendering times, etc with Windows 7 and it actually uses our 8 gigs of RAM, so I'd like to stick with it as much as I can. Like I said, other projects seem to be fine.
If anyone has any suggestions of something to try, let me know.
Thanks.
Project Specs:
CS4, 720x480, 24fps, progressive, 48k audio. All clips are uncompressed AVIs from After Effects. Audio is mostly mono 48k WAVs, with a few mp3s mixed in.

Could you have inadvertantly 'locked' the project file in Windows or Mac to prevent the file from being updated?
No. As I stated before, it works fine in Windows XP Pro 32-bit.
Try opening a new project and then importing the previous project into it. See if you can save that way.
I've tried this and it will import into a new project, but still won't save.
Thanks for your suggestions. If you think of anything else I could try, let me know. The only thing that I think could be causing the problem is that when the project loads there are a number of warnings (indicated by the yellow triangle in the lower-right corner of the project) that say something about numerous clips reporting incorrect file size, or something like that, and it can't write the metadata to them. Don't know if that would be causing this problem or not.
I think there may have been some times on this project where I updated a clip in After Effects and exported it overtop of one that was already in the Premiere project. I was told that you shouldn't do this (and have since been careful not to), but that may have been after I started this project. Would re-importing all of the clips and replacing them on the timeline correct this?
Thanks Again.

My project writes accelerometer data to usb drive but shared variables do not communicate with modbus

Hi there,
I have got a program that reads input from 3 off 9234 modules on a cRIO, the idea of the program is to read this data and save it in a bin file to a connected usb hard drive, the program also uses shared variables to connect the max signals from the 9234 then send thm to a modbus slave, my problem is that althought I am now getting the correct data on the usb drive I am not getting anything down the modbus link, I attach the program for you to see, all the shared variables are on the rt low speed loop, any help would be most grateful.
Many thanks
Jason
Solved!

Hi Jasonh,
Thanks for posting your code! Due to the lack of comments on the code, would it be possible to direct me to where it sends the code to the modbus slave please?
This tutorial on How to turn a RT Target into a Modbus Slave using IO Servers may also be of some help.

QT Pro won't stop recording with USB drive plugged in

A strange thing started happening. I have been recording student presentation for about a year. I record with a videocamera and firewire using QT pro (7.5.5). I then copy those short files to a their USB thumbdrives. What just started happening is that when I try to stop the recording, the beachball keeps spinning and spinning and I have to Force Quit. The recording is okay and on my desktop, but every time I try to record again, it happens again. Sometimes it hangs up so bad I can't even bring up the force quit dialogue box, and I have to use the power button to shut down. After trashing prefs etc, repairing permissions, re-installing, checking disc (using an external startup disc), I can't stop the problem. I found that if I do not have the drive plugged in, all goes well. I can stop the recording, then put in the drive and copy the file, and then remove the drive and start my next recording. If I have to, I'll do that, but I'd like to go back to the way it was. I can't think of what I might have installed that messed things up. I got rid of a couple of things that I thought might have done it (macam, and wvm something or other) but no help.
I had problems when 7.6 was released and I upgraded, so I'd rather not do that again (QT would not open, everything crashed and burned - was able to copy files and do a clean install, but it was a nightmare).
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

So unplug the USB drive, already. Record all to the hard drive and put them on the USB later.

IMAC won't start with external USB drive

I've been running Leopard for a few weeks now and decided to connect an external USB hard drive to use with Time Machine, it did the backup fine and seems to be working fine... however, every time I start my imac in the morning I get a gray screen that just hangs. I have to unplug the USB drive then reboot again.. that salves the problem.. but is annoying to have to do that each time.. I also noticed today that my ipod when plugger in via USB will not mount on the desktop.. I have to unplug the USB hard drive then plug the ipod in again.. that solves the problem..
Anyone have this same issue..??? It seems to be USB related or Time Machine related.. maybe both..
Cheers

The Disks are formatted with Ntfs as i am using Bootcamp with Windows 7. So repairing disks would not work in Mac OSX, and is not needed as the disks are ok. I would be a strange coincidence that both disks would be corrupted at the same Time.
I have tried three different other USB disks in the meantime and the Macbook could Boot up everytime with no problem. I found the answer in another forum. The controllers (USB to SATA) in the enclosures of the disks are not compatible with my Macbook, they are rather cheap WD disks and a lot of other users reported the same problem. ist might be possible to upgrade the firmware, but i will rather look for some other disks and try them first before i buy.

Soundtrack project won't save

Hi,
I've got a handful of STP files which will not save. The error message is "The document '*' could not be saved" '*' = my document.
Before that comes up, when saving normally, it says that the file cannot be saved to the original location. (we have an XSan server system) so we 'save as' to the desktop or external drive and we get the above message.
Any idea on this? I can't seem to get around it and I really need to save this work!!
Thanks in advance.

I have since tried dividing the project in to thirds. Not sure if it is saving or not. Spinning beach ball, stalled progress bar.

Project won't save in CS4

When attempting to save a project, I occasionally can't save my file and receive an error message suggesting "Select 'Save as' from the file menu to save the project to a new location." This usually doesn't work, either. Often, I just use the last auto-save file (which doesn't even appear to be saving every time the auto-save box appears, but that's another story) and redo the lost work.
I've had this happened on two different projects. One is a miniDV project, another was 720p HDV. Each project had a sequence roughly an hour long. Is there something I should do to avoid this? This current project file is 286MB. Is that unusual?
Premiere Pro CS4, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, projects are on eSATA drives
Thanks,
JB

OK, could be a couple of things:
Do you have Windows Indexing turned ON for that drive, or for any drives for that matter? This ARTICLE will give you some background.
Do you have adequate defragmented, free space on your destination HDD?
Which version of CS4 do you have? Seems that CS4.2 fixed a similar issue.
Those are the first three thoughts, and maybe others will have more.
Good luck,
Hunt

Project won't save - 'Operation not allowed'.

I can edit, but can't save, nor will Autosave work. Any workaround?

This is the FCE forum - probably best to ask over in the Final Cut Pro community.

3rd Party Plug-ins won't save settings on re-open of music project

When I'm using NI Battery 3 or Omnisphere Plug-ins they won't save the instrument setting upon re-opening my project. I'm not even using a custom setting on the instrument just a standard drum kit or omnisphere setting but when I save and close out of the program and re-open my project it sets omnisphere to the default and battery 3 or massive or whatever 3 party plugin i'm using back to the default setting...
Help!
Thanks!

Have you tried NI support?

Premiere Pro won't save my project

My project has been working fine up until a while ago when I tried to save it and the loading bar came up but the yellow loader wouldn't move. It won't save my project and when I click cancel the Premiere Pro simply freezes and then I have to force quit. How do I save my project??

It sounds like you're not doing this correctly.
1. CLOSE Premiere Pro entirely. All projects. The entire Premiere Pro program. Close it down. Completely. Maybe even restart the computer to make sure that Premiere is NOT running.
2. Now, Hold down the Shift+Option keys. Make sure you hold them both down at the same time. You can hold down Shift, first, or you can hold down Option, first, but whatever you do keep holding them down. Together. Keep holding them down.
3. WHILE you're STILL holding down the Shift+Option keys, open Premiere Pro. You can open Premiere Pro any way you wish, just make sure that when you do, you're STILL HOLDING down the Shift AND Option keys. Keep them held down while Premiere opens.
When Premiere opens do you see any of your recent projects in the recent projects list? If you don't, then you've successfully trashed your preferences.

I get an error message saying it won't save my project

Any help? It just randomly says it can not save my projects. Not a space issue- just won't save any edits. Will let me make edits and render and export- but all changes are lost when I quit.

I have a 2012 Mini with a fusion drive that won't boot from a usb cloned drive. It came with 10.8.2 pre installed. I have zapped the PRAM and reset the SMC. Any thoughts?

I have a 2012 Mini with a fusion drive that won't boot from a usb cloned drive. It came with 10.8.2 pre installed. I have zapped the PRAM and reset the SMC. Any thoughts?

When I tried using a recently downloaded (from the App store) version of MtLion 10.8.2 (12C60) I could NOT get the new MacMini to install or boot from a USB I had previously made. I was however able to use the Recovery Mode of the MacMini to create a bootable SSD which I had installed. The problem arose when I went back into Recovery DU as it saw the seperate drives (SSD & HD) as a broken Fusion Drive. Interestingly DU from the boot volume had NO issues and reported NO faults. It was the Recovery DU that identified the faulty Fusion Drive configuration. At this point I am definately out of my depth but my speculation is that the Recovery Volume is being used in some fashion to form the method or pattern that DU assigns files to the drives, System Report sees the drives as seperate volumes with all their individual characteristics.
Disk Utility did not make a bootable USB, I don't have or use CCC or Super Duper.
Here is the longer version I've been compiling:
Having bought a late 2012 Mac Mini(6,2) i7 2.66GHZ with the standard 1TB 5400 HD and 4GB of RAM (base model) I immediately decided to install a Mercury Elite 6g 240GB SSD and up the RAM to 16GB. I received both shipments on the same day and had all my new toys in front of me. After following the video advice on OWC’s website for the installation of the second drive I started the mini and formatted the SSD to accept the OS from Recovery on the original HD. This MacMini shipped with 10.8.2 (12C2034) as the OS, the normal build of 10.8.2 is (12C60). Having used Recovery Disk Utility to format the SSD it came back with an error that DU could’t Repair. I went ahead and installed the OS on the SSD and the Mini booted normally from both drives. The issue I encountered with this setup was that iMovie encountered an “unexpected error” and would not save a completed project. I therefore decided to figure the drive issue out because I suspect the new Fusion File Management software didn’t like my configuration with drives that Recovery DU saw as needing to be “fixed”. After spending some time on the phone with both OWC and Apple Support I took the plunge and used Internet Recovery Disk Utility and allowed both drives to be “fixed” after which DU created a Fusion Drive (Logical Drive) that I then ran Repair Disk on and it showed up as a single drive in DU. It works perfectly as described by Apple’s site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5446
Having checked the Link Speed and Negotiated Speed they both show as 6g so I’m pleased not to have lost performance due to it being fuzed to a 3g 5400 drive. The biggest drawback is that Apple’s Fusion Management only allows for 1 additional partition and I would have preferred more than that.
I have sourced some additional information here:

http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/08/05/undocumented-corestorage-commands/
If anyone has a factory Fusion Drive could you please post the Link and Negotiated Speeds of both drives? This information can be found in Apple > About This Mac > More Info… > System Report > Serial ATA and the drives should show up as discrete drives with their info listed separately.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
