PS3 ERROR - Could not print because the disk is not available...

This error message is appearing when printing to Colorburst RIP from PS3.
It started all of a sudden.
I can print to the Epson standard driver with no problem.
I can drag a file into the Colorburst RIP and it prints fine.
It's an issue from PS3 it seems.
Any idea what is up here?
S.O.S.
Apple OS 10.5.2, Mac Pro Dual Quad 3.0 (new), 10gb ram

You're welcome. Glad you're up and running.
Anytime something starts acting weird "all of a sudden", trashing preferences is the first thing to try.

Photoshop wont open get error could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available

Had to clone my hard drive to another drive on my computer.
I have been receiving a message "Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available" I have tried UN-installing and re-installing...still the same message.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

What do you have here.
If that does not help, reset your prefs
Hold fingers over Shift Option Command (or similar on Windows) then boot Photoshop and as fast as you can depress the 3 keys.

Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available

I get this message when I try to startup Photoshop:
"Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."
I found a fix in Tech Notes about selecting the scratch disk and choosing ignore permissions, but I don't even remember what the scratch disk was, so I don't really know how to select ignore permissions on it.
Does anyone know another way to fix this. It seems like this must be some "login-local" preference (meaning that there must be something in the user's local preferences for setting this scratch disk parameter (the only reason I'm thinking this is that if I create another user and run Photoshop, I get no error.)
I looked through ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe for any kind of Photoshop Preference, but I couldn't find a specific preference that stood out. Anyone have an idea?

I just got the same message, "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available". I had just assigned my primary scratch disk to an internal drive that was empty and had lots of free space. When I restarted my machine, the error message appeared when I tried to open Photoshop.
Not sure why this error occurred, but deleting the preferences did fix that problem... unfortunately, doing that will reset all your prefs = pallets, brushes, actions. I suspect you could just delete the "Adobe Photoshop CS2 Prefs.psp" file and leave the others intact to avoid that.
I would still like to know why changing the scratch disk gives us this problem? I mean, isn't that the whole point of having another internal drive?

"Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is nor available"

I'm trying to install Photoshop CS4 for the very first time onto a Mac Powerbook G4, MacOS 10.4.11. The installation succeeded, but when I launch Photoshop CS4, I get the "Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available" error followed by the "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is nor available" error. There is only one disk in the Powerbook, at it has 27GB free space.
The FAQ advice is to reset preferences. I did that repeatedly by holding down cmd-option-shift while starting up Photoshop and answering "yes" when it asks to delete the preference file. Didn't help. Same errors occur.
I also deleted the ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings and ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder hierarchies. Didn't help. I did the above together. Didn't help. Same errors occur.
I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it. Didn't help. Still get the same errors.
I even deleted the root /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder tree, which then forced another complete reinstallation of Photoshop CS4 because that killed the license manager. Didn't help. Still get the same errors.
Where else could preferences be lurking? I've never been able to successfully launch Photoshop CS4 on this Mac, so I guess it must be trying to import something weird from another Adobe application.

First thing that comes to mind is the lack of free hard drive space. Photoshop writes scratch from the beginning when you open it up. If there is not enough room or no scratch disk then Photoshop will not start up. The OS is using the same free space for writing SWAP files.
Also CS4 is not supported on a G4.
The only solution I can think is to delete some unneeded files and see if opening up some free space will solve the problem.

Using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro laptop, when saving a file I have been working on I get the following message although there is at least 50GB free space on the hard drive: Could not save because the disk is full.

I have been making Christmas Cards, working in layers and then flattening the image. However, I am unable to save the final image as I get the following message: Could not save because the disk is full. Looking at the system report for my laptop shows there is 52GB of free space.

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Could not initalize photoshop because the disk is not available

Could not initalize photoshop because the disk is not available. What is gouing on at Adobe?
How do I get into my cs6 now.
Problem since that extenede for the cloud has been coming up and I have just always quit and never subscribed now today the trial is over and i Have never used the trial and can not get back into cs6 for my work. No support from adobe until monday
any suggestions
Dick

Do you have a perpetual license (not a cloud subscription)?
If so, then you will have received a serial number.
You need to follow the prompts to the point where you enter your serial number and enter it. That should activate the software.
You'll need also to make sure you've updated it to the latest release. The specific number of that will depend on what kind of system you have.

Error Message: "Skype can not start because the system is not available"

Try to reset all Skype settings. Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old. Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder. Restart Skype. N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Okay!
I'm newbie here, but it doesn't matter. I dont want to do here anything else, just write off my opinion about the Microsoft's "new" Skype, and I hope they will read...
This is a cropped image - of course hungarian, because I'm hungarian, but I think many of us could see this as well. How this is possible? "The Skype can not start because the system is not available" *** What kind of system? The Skype was on a P2P system, where is impossible that the system is not available! This is why the skype was much better than the Microsoft's messenger. Then they bought it, and make it wrong...
I found a solution for this problem, this can happen if my client is not updated. But IT IS!
How does it works? Can we use the **bleep** Skype how we would like to use? Or this time we need to find an other application (like Viber), and using that while they not buying that as well, just because that is better?

Elements 9 won't open "because the disk is not available"

Hi All
I have had PSE 9 on my Mac for 18 months with no problems.
Recently I upgraded the boot drive to a larger one as the original was running out of space. I used a standard disc cloning tool and all has been well.
Except...PSE now says it "cannot open scratch file because the disk is not available" followed by "cannot initialise because the disk is not available".
I uninstalled PSE and downloaded a new copy thinking perhaps that the original was somehow corrupted by the cloning. Still does the same thing.
I repaired permissions and re-started but still does the same thing.
Frankly I am stumped.
Anyone got any ideas? It does not even say which disk it thinks is unavailable!

Sadly that has not made any difference I am afraid.
This is what happens:

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker). We can't figure out what is causing the data usage. I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started. Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours. My husband called Verizon and got the usual doubting Thomas response. I understand that they don't know my device settings. So over the phone we check all the settings and turned off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call. By now I have purchased another gig for the month! Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss. HA! A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data. After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card. This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan. I could have just stuck with my Surface. Verizon sent us a new sim card. Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot. I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device. When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this. Loved your post, you should write for a living.

Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte

itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??

A few things to try:
• Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
• Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
Get Info (command-I).
Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
Hope this helps.

Whenever you start database ostartup first by default use spfile$Oracle_Sid.ora for starting the instance if this spfile does not exist then it goes for spfile.ora if spfile.ora also does not exist then it search init$Oracle_Sid.ora in default location.
As you created spfile after restarting the database will automatically use spfile and will show you spfile in yours param when you will show parameter spfile if it does not show then you are still using pfile

Safari could not open because the server is not responding - my Internet is fine

My iPad suddenly is giving me the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". My Internet is working fine on other devices and other applications (i.e. Mail) seem to be working fine on the iPad. I've turned the iPad off and on. Any thoughts?

Can you get onto any site in Safari, or can't you even open the app properly ? You could see if any of the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
