Quicktime will not save file or move to another disk

I am consolidating old material to a new drive. I have quicktime complete movies created years ago in Final Cut. The movies play fine, but I get only error messages when trying to copy/move the files to the new hard drive.
The icon on the OLD drive is a blue and red FCP Quicktime, not just the BLUE Qt icon.
The files will also NOT open in FCP, asking for missing render files. Odd, because the movies play just fine and completely.
I tried export, save as, render, all options, but all block.
HELP ME GUYS.

On the new PC, you should authorize it first.
Then when you plug the ipod in it should ask if you want to copy purchases over or erase it. Obviously you want to choose the copy option!
Here is an article with screenshots of what you will see

For the exclamation marks, those files might still be on your old PC, but itunes has just lost the path to which folder they are in. Try finding them with these steps

QTPro Could not save file "The movie contains an in correct time value"

QT Pro 7.6.6 Could not save file “The movie contains an in correct time value”
I’m exporting files out of Priemer Pro CS5 with the H.264 “vimeo HD settings” .mp4 files and the files look dull, low contrast and low color saturation, when played in QT10. From what I’ve read it’s a gamma problem with QT10. I also hear the files from FCP have the same problem, so it's not a Premiere Pro problem.
The fix is to open the file in QT Pro, adjust the blend in the video track and re-save, however I try to save the file I get an error that says “The movie contains an in correct time value”
Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
I’m on a MacPro 12 Core with 14gb memory
OS 10.6.5
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
The "Save As..." option always saves a copy of the data to an MOV file container. Minor property changes will allow your to use the "Save" option which stores only the changed properties to the same file in its original file container. Unfortunately, major changes will automatically invoke the "Save As..." routines even though you selected the "Save" option. If you must place the content in an MP4 file container, you can use the "Save As..." option in QT Streamclip to re-save the "fixed" MOV file to an MP4 file container. However, note that extraneous track content may, if present, not be carried over to the MP4 container.

Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original). I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
Attempt #1:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)
Close
      Batch settings -
Play Set: correct folder selected; Action: correct action selected
Source: folder - selected folder where native files are located (on desktop)
NO checkmarks next to any options
Destination: folder - selected folder where small files should be saved (on desktop)
NO checkmark on override action
Did not change file naming parameters
Result #1 - DID NOT SAVE FILES
Attempt #2:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)
Close
     Batch settings -

Please help! This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save. I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
~CG
UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

CS4 on new 64bit machine will not save files, "unkown error"

I just upgraded my machine from an older 32 bit PC to a 64 bit PC running Windows 7. As part of the migration O'm having to re-install a lot of softwaare including Illsutrator. The install was succesful, Illy runs and will open all of my old AI files, but it will not save them. All I get id an "unkown error" message. New files created form scrath save ok; old files will save over or be "saved as"; if I copy the contents of an old fiel to a new page it will not save either. I have removed the AIprefs file but no change.
Any idea what the issue is?

I have had this problem as well and this is my take on it. It can open the files being that it's .ai format but it can't just save them again being that the previous save format was 32bit and now the save format is 64bit and when you ask it to save a 32bit file it wants to save it as 32bit again but illustrator can't do that from a 64bit system. The bit size does make a difference but if you go to save as instead of save it will save it and you can write over it. What your doing then is saving a new 64bit file over the old 32bit file.

Quicktime will not allow playback of .mov files (format DVCPRO HD)

hi
i'm unable to play .mov files with quicktime application. i am using mac 10.4.11 and have the latest version of quicktime 7.4.5.
when i click the files the screen shows only white, and sometimes only audio, no images.
i am unsure if upgrading to quicktime pro would solve this, or if i need to download additional plug ins to support .mov playback.
i have opened to the movie inspector page and it does not tell me what plug in is needed - it lists the source, format, fps, playing fps (when available), data size, data rate, current time, duration and normal size.
how do i find which plug in i need?
thanks for hopefully helping. sara

I actually found a link to download the missing components that you listed. i installed the package and it now shows under hard drive / library / quicktime but the HD files will still not play in Quicktime.
could this be because i do not have FCP?
I do not need to edit with the clips - merely to be able to playback to review.
thanks sara

Image Processor will not save files in CS5

I use image processor to run actions on a bulk group of image files, always worked fine in CS4. Now with CS5 the files have the action applied but Image Processor will not close the files.... that becomes a problem when I am working with a couple hundred images! It seems to save the files fine, into the Jpeg or Tiff folder it creates during the process... it just won't close the files and give me the error: "Sorry, I could not process the following files:"
I am sure this is a bug, since it works fine in CS4 and the process is exactly the same in CS5. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anyway to fix this? It's a pain to go back to CS4 just to use the image processor.
Thanks!

I looked into it more and found the problem is that when the action runs Photoshop for some reason won't let the file save from the file menu (it's grayed out)... only "Save as" which obviously doesn't work in an action. Strangely, the file does actually get saved in the folder that is created by Image Processor, but since "save" is grayed out, it won't CLOSE the file. There is no reason for it to gray out "save", when I play the action one file at a time it doesn't do this, only when I use Image Processor in CS5. I really don't understand why it's doing this, I think it's just a bug that needs to get fixed. Don't have the same problem in CS4.

MS office word (2011) will not save files on the hard disk. It will save on USB drives. Help!

I have installed MS Office 2011 on our iMac and Macbook Air. The program works as expected on the Macbook Air. However, on the iMac, neither Word nor Excel will save files to the internal hard drive. Both save files to a USB memory stick. The error message I receive is:
This is not a valid file name.
Try one or more of the following:
* Chech the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
* Select a file from the list of files or folders.
I expect it is something with the file saving options, but haven't been able to sort it out.
Help please.

Found the answer with the help of Microsoft Office for Mac telephone support.....
The name of the Mac Hard drive started with "\"
Microsoft office can't cope with that.
Renamed the hard drive without the back-slash and it works fine.

Help major issue, quicktime will not play my HDV movie?

I have a major problem here.
I have a movie i shot and edited when I was at university using Final cut pro and HDV cams.
I need to show this movie on my macbook pro, but I purchased final cut express, and have just found out my Quicktime does not play this file.. the screen is just black?
I assume I need a HDV 1080i50 codec for quicktime??? is this correct?
Where can I get it?
I intend to give a presentation was going to use OpenOffice or use my Quicktime just for moving image
Any suggestions?
Regards

You were given a video that can only play in Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Express doesn't have that codec.
You going to have to go back to whom ever gave you that video and have them export the video to a codec that either Final Cut Express can play or a codec that Quicktime can play.The later would be better because, if a video can play in Quicktime it can play in Final Cut Express.

Easy-Photo software will not save file!

Help! I have been using Canon Easy-Photo software for several years now, but in the last few months it has developed a problem where it will no longer save my files. When I finish and print a DVD, then SAVE, it comes back with the error "Failed to Save the File."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times, but this does not solve the problem. I just today installed it again (after uninstalling), this time from the disc that came with my new MG7120. Same problem! I went online and downloaded what should be the latest version (4.5) and installed that one - still won't save.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OOOOOhhhhhh! The problem must have arisen around the time I updated to WIN 8.1 - not that the program has problems in 8.1, but because I finally got around to changing my normal user profile into a non-admin type profile. If I run the software as an administrator, I can save files.
Well, maybe the problem will happen to someone else and this will help them!

I Tunes 6.0.4 will not save files to the desktop

Something very strange has occurred since I updated iTunes. I belong to several groups which post music files as an adjunct to discussions. Before, I could click "Save As" in the Safari "File" menu and the audio clip would be saved to the desktop. Now I do that and everytime without fail it only saves 12 KB of the file. I repaired permisions before & after updating, as I normally do, then did so again when this problem cropped up. Anyone have any idea what's going on ???? Hope so....
Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The files were all definitely downloadable files, posted for sharing in a couple of Yahoo groups. I even had a friend post something specific for me as a sort of "control experiment." I had had no troubles until I updated, but now seem to have resolved the problem by following a procedure a friend suggested & which I believe is already part of the database here: I deleted the packages from past iTunes installations in the Receipts folder in the Library. I then ran Disk Warrior & now all is well.

Photoshop will not save file extension, how do I fix?

When saving any file, Photoshop saves only the filename without the extension- i must manually add the extension in finder- nightmare! Help Chat sucks so here I am. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn't work- any ideas??

First, make sure you have extensions visible in the OS.
Then check Photoshop's preferences and change it back to always saving extensions.

After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

I am using OS 10.7 Lion. Quicktime will not play avi files. One support forum gave 2 links to get the proper codecs but I got a 404 error. Can anyone help?

You can also use VLC
