Scanning with Preview - "cannot write to folder" error

I was scanning some photos yesterday using my epson 3170 scanner into Preview.
These scanned & saved OK.
then I installed a couple of Apple updates - one was the latest OS X security update and a java update.
I then scanned something else and now I get a "cannot write to folder" error message preventing me from saving the scanned image (to the same folder I was saving the others to earlier).  I can save files to the same folder using other apps so there is nothing wrong with the drive or folder permissions.
I scanned the image otthe desktop and moved the file to the folder I wanted.
If I use ImageCapture it works OK as well.
Any ideas why Preview won't let me save the images?

Check the protections.  A command such as ls -ale@ or ls -aled@ would be typical for checking that.   I'd guess the files aren't writeable by the web server.  This'll probably be a chown and possibly a chmod command to bring the settings on the errant log(s) into agreement with the other settings on the other Apache web server logs that are being written.
FWIW, I'd use zdump or cat and pipe the log contents elsewhere if I wanted to write to them.  But if you're resetting the logs, there's a rollover script around (the one that runs automatically on OS X, and I'm unfortunately drawing a blank on the name; it moved from the /etc/periodic stuff over to launchd a while back), or write your own short script that rolls the files and leaves the appropriate owner and permissions settings.
There's an intro to the Mavericks Apache file set up at /library/server/web/config/apache2/readme.txt

  • How to scan with Preview...

    Hey everyone!
    I'm wondering how I can scan with Preview... Is it under file>Import Image??? oh, or is my problem because my printer is plugged into my AirPort Extreme?
    my printer is a Canon MP160...
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi
    You won't be able to use a scanner (or the scanner part of a multifunction printer) that's connected to an Airport base station. You'll have to connect it directly to your Mac with USB to scan.
    Normally, when you install a scanner, it comes with scanning software, which you would use to initiate the scan; alternatively, there may be a "scan button" on the unit itself, which will launch the software and perform the scan. Make sure you check for updated software on the Canon site (check especially for 10.5 compatibility), as bundled CDs often contain outdated drivers.

  • MS Query...cannot write sorted rows error

    I have an MS Query report crated and it was working well until i tried to remove a Criteria Filter within the query. I get an error "Cannot Write Sorted Row". If I acknowledge the error, the change to the criteria is not saved and it reverts to
    the original setting. I had several columns sorted, of which i deleted the SQL code for sort thinking that may help. I also tried to delete the Criteria Filter via the wizard and directly in SQL but that did not help.
    Any suggestions of what may be the issue?

    This is a Power Query forum and so it's unlikely you'll find MS Query experts here. That being said, did you try using Power Query for your scenario?

  • Servlet I/O Stream problem: cannot write into file, error 500

    I am a new Java developer and now, I am facing a problem regarding the error 500. I try to grab records from a table with a date as a constraint. There are two servlets involed: a) saveRecord and b) getRecord. Servlet getRecord will grab data from a database while another servlet, saveRecord will get the data from servlet getRecord and save it into a file. The codes are as below:
    =========================================================================================================================================
    // Servlet Name : saveRecord
    BufferedInputStream instr     = null;
    BufferedOutputStream outstr     = null;
    PostMethod http_post          = null;
    http_post = new PostMethod("getRecord");
    http_client.executeMethod(http_post);
    instr     = new BufferedInputStream(http_post.getResponseBodyAsStream());
    outstr     = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\student.csv"), false));
    int byte_at;
    while (-1 != (byte_at = instr.read())) {
         outstr.write(byte_at);
    =========================================================================================================================================
    // Servlet Name : getRecord
    ServletOutputStream out     = response.getOutputStream();
    StringBuffer str_buf     = new StringBuffer();
    str_buf = generateStudentAc();
    out = response.getOutputStream();
    FileStream(out, response, str_buf);
    // Function Called
    private StringBuffer generateStudentAc() {
         StringBuffer str_buf = new StringBuffer();
         String date = "2000-01-01";
         statement = connection.createStatement();
         resultset = statement.executeQuery("SELECT NAME, ADDRESS FROM STUDENT WHERE DATE>'" + date + "';
         // Write column headers               
    str_buf.append("NAME,ADDRESS");
    String data_row;
    while (resultset.next()) {
              data_row = "\n";
              data_row += "\"" + resultset.getString("STUDENT") + "\"";
              data_row += ",\"" + resultset.getString("ADDRESS") + "\"";
              // Write row
              str_buf.append(data_row);
         return str_buf;
    // Function called
    private void FileStream(ServletOutputStream out, HttpServletResponse response, StringBuffer str_buf) {
         BufferedOutputStream buf_out = null;
    // Create input/output streams
         buf_out     = new BufferedOutputStream(out);
         int length     = str_buf.length();
         // Read/Write
         for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
              buf_out.write(str_buf.charAt(i));
    =========================================================================================================================================
    Then, the result will be post back to a JSP page. It didn't work when the records in database growing bigger ( > 100 000 records) but works nice while the records are still in a small quantities ( < 20 000 records). It seems that no record can be inserted into the file and the JSP page becomes blank. When I opened the csv file, I found a message"Error 500:" inside it.
    Hope you all experts can help to figure out this problem. TQ

    I am amatuer in Java Programming, so I don't know how to implement serializable interface but I will look through it.
    However, as I mention before, the code run perfectly if there are not much records un the table. But once there are more and more table added in (> 1000 000 records) in the table, it becomes unstable - sometime it works but most of the time it doesn't. So, I didn't find any different event I replaced the code with String date = "=2000-01-01".
    Anyway, thanks for your help.

  • Win 8 - Cannot Write To Folder Created Via Mac

    This is kinda strange and hard to explain, but I shall try.
    Basically I have a NAS server. When I create a folder on the NAS server via my Mac, I am given permission errors when trying to copy to that folder via Windows 8 (And possibly other windows too).
    Trying to change permissions on windows throws up a "Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied" error.
    This is driving me potty so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Having trouble with downloads; cannot change downloads folder; items save to downloads folder but I cannot open them;it save all downloads as a .part file

    I cannot download any attachments. I get the pop up message to save it, I save it but it saves all attachments as a .part file which cannot be opened (or it just opens in Word even when it is a music/sound file.
    Also, I tried to change the folder I download to and it will not let me. I click "choose" in the downloads prefs area but it does not let me change it. the button is unresponsive.

    Lion hides the Library directory, but there are instructions on this page that describe how to make it visible.
    * http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    In Snow Leopard, the Firefox profile is in User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<randomname>.default. I am assuming that the path has not changed in Lion.
    Finding something in the Library used to be easy before Apple decided that Spotlight should no longer access it, so I have taken to using Easyfind instead. If the path to the profile has changed in Lion, you could still find it by searching for cookies.sqlite, but you cannot use Spotlight for that. Easyfind is much more versatile anyway.

  • Linux client cannot write to folder he creates on Leopard server

    Wrong OS - moved.
    Message was edited by: WelshDog2

    I'm trying to create a folder on the admin share (C$) of a Windows 7 domain client from a domain server as administrator and I get "You need permission to perform this action"  If I do this on another server instead of a Win 7 client, it works. 
    The reason for this folder creation started when I'm trying to scan PCs in my domain through GFI Languard and I'm getting access denied.  The tech support told me the reason for this is because it's trying to create a folder under Windows directory and it getting denied access. The account that's doing this is a domain admin account.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Time Machine "could not create backup folder" error

    I recently changed to a new Time Machine drive (external LaCie Porsche 1TB) connected via USB to my early 2009 iMac running Lion.  I set up the drive with a single GUID partition, MacOS Extended (Journaled ) format, and copied my old Time Machine backups over from an older drive via the disk utility restore function.  The disk worked fine for a while, then after several backups I get recurring Time machine errors that tell me it cannot create a backup folder.  When I run Disk Utility to repair (after turning off Time Machine), it cannot unmount the disk.  After a force eject (required because I am told the disk is in use when trying to eject after a Time machine fail), the disk mounts, no problems are found by disk utility, and Time Machine works for awhile.  Then more of the same "cannot create backup folder" error.  The backups work fine a few times, whether the iMac is put to sleep or not, then the error occurs again.  Any suggestions on how to make this work without error and without constantly unmounting/remounting the disk?  I had previously used a different, smaller LaCie drive via firewire 800 without any problems ever.
    Thanks

    I have been wrestling with the same problem for a few weeks.
    I eventially solved the problem after determining that the problem is not in the Time Machine program.
    It does not seem to exist in Snow Leopard but in Lion and Mountain Lion.
    I have several drives on my system: firewire and USB 3.
    I observed that one or more of my USB 3 drives become read only after some time even when the Time Machine is off. Firewire and USB flash drives are allright.
    I am now running all three USB 3 drives off a Targus USB 3 hub. I got mine from Office Depot.
    The power supply for this hub is rated at 4 amperes. Maybe the USB 3 drives need more power.
    Some other steps I went through may be of interest:
    I updated the firmware on my Wester Digital 1TB drive for the Mac form downloads fron WD sites. I also downloaded the WD Smartware.
    However, I found an article that recommended partitioning the drive as journaled case sensitive.
    Prior to doing this, the Time Machine would sometimes backup as much as 40 GB even when nothing had been added to my computer. Now  backups without activity by me add only a few megabytes.
    I noticed that under system profile beginning with 10.7 that the drive storage is shown by category with the sizes listed. This goes on in background all the time. It is possible he USB 2 ports and hubs may not be able to handle this activity.
    I have had my computer, a late 2007 iMac with 4 GB of ram, checked by Apple.
    This worked for me,

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X, Mac, and Scanning with HP Deskjet Issue!

    I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Lion and when I go to scan from PDF, my HP Deskjet 3052 A scanner isn't showing up in the drop down menu.  I also have Acrobat Pro X for Windows on my machine (VMWare) and it works fine, but it won't work with the Mac version.  I have called Adobe and HP and neither have been able to help me.  I bought this program with this feature in mind, and I am sick of having to toggle back to Windows to scan, as it eats up a lot of my processing power.  I have downloaded the SANE and TWAIN drivers (or so I thought I did) with no luck.  I have also un-installed and re-installed the printer and Adobe multiple times, with no luck!  Please help me!

    How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?
    Depending on your printer and the type of driver update, you might need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mountain Lion. 
    NOTE:Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.

    1. Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, go to Step 2.
    If there's no change after taking this step, continue.
    2. Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /var/folders
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)

  • Scanning problem. Receive error message: cannot write file. Code 10,242,7. Please help

    I just purchased and installed a Canon MX 922 multi-function printer.

  • How do I remove "Scan with ClamXav" in Lion? I cannot find a contextual menu item folder in at home/library.

    How do I remove "Scan with ClamXav" in Lion? I cannot find a contextual menu item folder in at home/library. I installed and removed ClamXav from the Mac app store.
    Thanks.

    Thanks! AppTrap mentioned in the linked article got rid of it for me.
    Actually, it didn't. With Snow Leopard and Lion, the contextual menu is provided by a built in "service" within the ClamXav application itself.
    If you downloaded ClamXav from the AppStore, all you need to do is trash it and reboot.
    If you downloaded the full version from the web you need to first run the "ClamAV Engine REMOVER" script that comes on the ClamXav_2.x.x.dmg. Then trash the ClamXav application, empty the trash and reboot.
    There are also one or two preferences that can be found in ~/Library/Preferences/ that start with "uk.co.markallen.clamxav..." that take up minimal space and don't do anything without the application. AppTrap probably found those.

  • Opening a shared mailbox in Outlook 2013 (office 365) returns "Cannot Expand Folder" error.

    Hi!
    We've just upgraded from our old Domino email server to Office 365 E1 and running an on-premise Exchange 2013 hybrid server.
    In Outlook 2013, when trying to expand a shared mailbox, It asks me to enter my outlook credentials. Trying so doesn't work and it continues to ask repeatedly. If I click cancel, I get the following error:
    "Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available.
    Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance."
    The error only occurs in Outlook 2013 and it happens to all staff who are using Outlook 2013. Shared mailboxes are accessible in Outlook 2010 and OWA with no issues.
    I have tried recreating profiles, removing and re-adding permissions, disabling auto-mapping. I've tested with creating shared mailbox in Exchange Online and on our hybrid server.

    Hi Phil,
    Thank you for your questions. Have you uninstalled Office 2007 from the machine before the Office 2013 installation?
    I believe you've already seen this KB article before, the steps above are quoted from it:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687
    As can been seen from the article, the steps above are specific to Method 4. There are three other Methods mentioned in the article, have you ever tried them? If not yet, I would suggest you to have a try:
    Method 1: Set the permission for the Everyone group of the registry subkeys that are listed in the error message to Full Control.
    Method 2: Disable the third-party application.
    Method 3: Try the installation again in
    Let me know if the issue persists after the steps above, we'll take a further look then.
