Save for Web - The operation could not be completed. Access is denied.

Hello everyone! I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this, but unfortunately, I really need help with my Adobe Photoshop. I run on Windows 32x and my program is Photoshop CS6 (Portable and its 64 bit), which I've had for about a year. Yesterday, I made a GIF and I tried to save it but along came the message saying "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied."
I reset my preferences (more than once!), restarted my laptop and cleared up a bunch of memory on my hard drive. The mode is set to 8 Bits/Channel and RGB Color. I really have tried to look at every thread I could, but alas I could not find anything. I would really appreciate some help. Here is my system info!
Any advice would really go a long way to helping me, and I am desperate. Thanks.

Make sure that you have read write access to the foldler that you're trying to save your file to. Save for web doesn't save in the same location as where the file resides. It remembers that last location used, and you may not have access to that.

"The operation could not be completed" when doing Save for web

Hi
I have just installed Photoshop CS5.1 on my new iMac with Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). Everytime I try to do a 'Save for web' I get this error message "The operation could not be completed". After that Photoshop also hangs. I've tried many solutions offered in forums and the like, but nothing helps. I am getting quite desperate...Anybody?

I found out the following:
When I write in Terminal:
sudo chmod -R u+w ~/Library/Preferences
sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Library/Application\ Support
The error message disappears, until I do a restart of the computer. Then the error is back.
My suspiscion is that the error came up after moving files from my old computer to my new one.
It happened even before I installed Lion...
So now I'm thinking of doing a complete new install on Lion, not an upgrade and then install Photoshop again. But I am not really looking forward to this :-(

File Save for Web = Error: The operation could not be completed.

Installed photoshop CS6 trial Version 13.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate running in hyper-v virtual machine. Created a small image and clicked File Save for Web. This produced the error dialog "Error: The operation could not be completed."
I tried the following trouble shooting steps:
1. deleted the preferences
2. created a new user
3. re-installed both the operating system and photoshop
4. looked for permission issues
5. monitored procmon.exe to look for unusual errors
I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but it simply does not work.

ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.
Was working fine up until we had "Tech" come in the office and "up grade some stuff"
then all of a sudden i started getting this message, something happened but i don't have a clue what.

Save for Web & Devices, The operation could not be completed

I keep getting this error when I Save for Web & Devices: The operation could not be completed.
I have saved for the web before for many more complex, larger images without a hitch.
I am using a psd format with an image that I designed. It is no more complex than others I have done. It is small, just a horizontal navbar about the size of the one on Apple's website.
I tried exporting it, flattening it, slicing it removing the slices.
I think it is a problem with the application itself.
I have tried repairing my permissions, restarting, and holding Cmd, Opt, Control, Shift during PS startup to reset the settings. Any insight would be appreciated.

PS CS5 Save for Web and Devices reports "The operation could not be completed" ?

I teach in a lab of 27 computers, 110 students and part of the curriculum is teaching students to "Save for Web and Devices" this year for some strange reason none of my students can access "Save for Web and Devices" they get the error message "The operation could not be completed-A write permissions error has occured."
It has stumped our district top network support guru.
We are running PS CS5 12.0.4
He tried this posted fix but it did not work
http://involution.com/2010/06/13/adobe-photoshop-cs5-write-perimissions-error-on-snow-leop ard/
It worked once last Friday but today it failed, I'm getting very nervous about being able to prepare my students for the ACA exam without this function.
In a discussion forum they suggested "zipping and deleting" the save for web preferences, I tried that. Shut down Photoshop reopened it and that did not work.
I am at a loss. Seems like a bug.
Any ideas.
We are using iMacs running Mac OS X 10.5.8

The error message may not simply address the location to where the students will save a single file. The error likely applies to the temporary location where the various optimized versions might be automatically saved as you preview the image as JPG/PNG/GIF. I would wager that you would not see this error when you are logged into one of the students' computers as an admin.

I cannot "save" my newly reduced size video after using the "TRIM" feature...I get "The Operation could not be completed". Why?

I would start with my original AVI file, then hit duplicate to get a duplicate file to work on....I then would use the "TRIM" feature to shorten the video. Then when I hit "close", and it prompted me to name the newly reduced file, and saved it appropriately.So I did this procedure with two of my AVI format videos and it worked flawlessly.
But I have tried to do this same procedure with a half a dozen more AVI videos and it will not allow me to name the modified file after I have "trimmed it" and save it...when I enter the name for the modified file and hit "close", I get the message "The operation could not be completed". Why isn't it allowing me to save the files??

Bridge CS5 freezes after error message...."The operation could not be completed, there is not....

Error - The operation could not be completed. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
After this happens I have to close Bridge as it is unresponsive to any further commands and I often I have to use the task manager to close it.
I have scoured these boards and the web for a solution and have found others w/ the same problem (even people w/ much more RAM) but have not found a solution beyond the usual advice of changing cache settings, increasing page file, or making sure there is enough hard drive space.
I have two 1TB hdd's w/ over 80% free space on each but I only have 2 GB RAM (all my old motherboard can handle). However, this error message occurs even when Photoshop is not running (only Bridge) and my RAM usage meter shows that I still have plenty of unused RAM available. I did not have this problem w/ Bridge CS4. The error msg. of not enough storage doesn't make since considering the available RAM showing and ample space on the hard disk assigned to the cache (which is a different physical drive than my OS or the Bridge program.)
Here are some of the things I have tried:
reset Bridge preferences at startup, changed the location of the Bridge cache, its size and options, purged the cache, changed the page file size on both drives to the max, defragmented drives, disabled Norton anti-virus, etc.
-What else can I try?
-Would creating a new partition on my 2nd hdd to be used solely for the Bridge cache make any difference and if so, why?
Please help, I am willing to try anything to get this to work. It is a personal challenge at this point.... and I am determined to get Bridge CS5 to work on my machine......
Thanks in advance for any advice or insturctions you may offer!

'The operation could not be completed. Access is denied' during delete.

Hello World,
Something happened while working in my Visual Studio 2010 Professional environment.
When I delete a member from my Solution Explorer, it disappears from the memberlist, is marked as 'locked, deleted' and can be removed from TFS using Check-In. But during the delete process I get the message 'The operation could not be completed. Access
is denied.'
I'm an Administrator on my computer (manually adding/deleting members in my workspace and/or directly in TFS is not a problem). I get this message for every delete I perform, even in other Solutions!
The member will remain in my workspace however.
Can anyone help me with this problem please?
Thanks,
Guy Swagen

PS CS5 The operation could not be completed. A file system I/O error has occurred

Howdy...
I'm using Photoshop CS5 and when I go to use a handful of filters such as Liquify or Lens Correction I am suddenly getting an error message saying:
"The operation could not be completed. A file system I/O error has occurred"
Doesn't matter if it's a massive file or a small one. Sometimes the Liquify box will actually come up, but after I make one or two strokes, the beachball comes up and moments later I get the error message again. It doesn't actually crash PS, it just prevents me from using those filters. Each time I click, the error message comes up again. I've also tried it with my PS CS3 on the same Mac and it does the same thing. However on my 4 year old MacBook Pro, it's absolutely fine. Grrrrr!
I have my PS set as default on 64 bit. I have a scratch disk with nearly 500gb free (which is not my start-up disk) I am running a Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8 Core Intel with 16gb of ram, so it's not a memory problem. Running Mac OS 10.6.7 but did the same on 10.6.6 too.
I have repaired the disk permissions on the start-up disk. I have reloaded a fresh copy of PS (a few times). Even did a hard Un-install with maccs3clean after trying a regular Un-install with no success.
I had an 1.5hr conversation with an Adobe Tech guy earlier today and he's scratching his head, so I'd thought I'd throw it open to you guys hoping someone has had the same problem and can save the rest of my hair from being pulled out.
HELP!

Hi Guys,
I know this is an old post but I need to bump it.
I work for a image processing company and we all sit on top spec mac pro's with 16-32 GB of RAM, top graphic cards and SSD drives.
All of my collegaues' computers are working fine when it comes to using liquify and all of the filters that come with CS5, but it sure doesn't work on my mac at all.
We have a tech guy who has re-installed the OSX on a new SSD drive now two times and we have started from scratch with installing CS5 but it still will not work. I keep getting "the operation could not be completed..." every time i try
to liquify or do any other filter work.
I am 100% sure it doesn't have to do with any disk permissions or broken drives in my case.
Could there be an issue with the graphic card or any other hardware component since it's clearly not a software related issue?
Any help would be much appreciated because we are very much in the dark here.
Best regards,
Anders

Quicktime Player "The operation could not be completed"

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me, I just used the quicktime screen recording and after i finished it i tried to save it. It started saving but then it said "The operation could not be completed" I need help I don't know what this is and I've never seen it before. Also I have before been able to save it but for some reason this time i can't. PLEASE HELP!

Sounds like a corrupted export. Trash that copy and export it again.

The operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists

I am trying to make a click and drag backup on an external FAT 32 drive to compliment my Time Machine backup (long story) and I've done this each time by dragging my critical folders into the drive. I get a message asking me to stop, replace or skip, and whether to apply to all items. i click replace, apply all, and let it go.
however, one stubborn folder refuses to comply. every single time I click and drag a group of folder that includes that one, I get a message saying "the operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists" even after I selected the the "apply all" prompt. at which point, the Mac stops transferring ALL the other files.
I figured, OK, i'll just transfer the other folders individually and then deal with this folder later. so I do that, and once I get to the offending folder, I try to transfer just that one folder into the drive. no good; I get the operation message again. I decide to just transfer the contents of the folder, rather than the folder itself. No good, I just get the operation message about one of the folders within the main folder.
anyone know the cause, or at least a fix?

If you've installed a system modification called "TotalFinder," remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Log out, log back in, and try again.
Otherwise, open the Info dialog on both the source and the destination volumes. What is the Format of each? For example, it might be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
For some other possible solutions, see:

"The operation could not be completed" using iMovie 10.0.6

I'm using the new iMovie 10.0.6 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.
This is the first time I access to iMovie after upgrade to Yosemite.
When I try to begin a new movie and after select a theme the following message is shown:
"The operation could not be completed.
No other information is available about the problem"
The technical information obtained from the console is:
"13/11/14 11:46:50,195 iMovie[702]: -[NSAlert alertWithError:] called with nil NSError. A generic error message will be displayed, but the user deserves better."
So, I can't use iMovie as I expected...
Is anybody have this problem ?
Thanks

I had the exact same problem, working with apple support I had to uninstall iMovie and all the files connected with it and then download iMovie again. The problem is you iMovie is not creating the library file it needs to save your work.
Apple support was great at walking me through which files had to be deleted.
good luck
