'The file could not be created' - ACR v6.6

I see this problem has been around for literally years. This is for raw files from both Canon 5D mkII, and Nikon D300 cameras, and only when I select to save in a new location.
What is the fix?

Noel, I may come off frustrated (I am), but I do appreciate Richard and you at least responding. These two machines are the only two I haven't built myself in the last 15+ years. Box#1 is a Dell Insiprion 530 dual core intel, 2.8 ghz, box#2 is a HP 9300 quad core 2.66 ghz...both are from the same generation of machines (about 3.5 years old). Both have 6gb of ram, windows vista 64 bit OS "home premium", and service pack 2 installed. The drive the photos are stored on, and to which I am attempting to save them - are extneral drives which have permissions set to full control for everyone - from the root of the drive to as deeply nested a folder you can possibly imagine. I am the only "user" of both machines, and I have administrator privledges. I'd like to suggest some critical thinking be applied here.
1-In CSv4 (which is still installed) ACR NEVER generated this error, or any other error...in all versions through version v5.7 of ACR
2-When I installed CSv5 >version 5.1 update, and the ACR update to v6.6 I DID have ACR errors generated
No changes to the OS were done, only the upgrade to version CSv5.1 and ACR v6.6 were added to both machines. Photoshop CSv4 and it's proprietory ACR version continue to work properly. Since the ONLY changes to both machines are a newer version of Photoshop/Bridge/&ACR - It is a certainity that the problem lies with a conflict between the new CSv5.1 software, and the OS. I have read on these forums all the way back to CSv2 and many earlier versions of ACR about similar errors, with the similar response concerning persmissions. I have not encountered a single post where changing persmissions fixed ACR errors for a single person. If I remember correctly...the earlist date I saw was 2005...so this has been going on for 6+ years. I did take note that rolling back to earlier versions, and newer versions of ACR did fix this problem for a handful of people. I will stop posting before I am driven to ranting like Dinarius did above, but you should note that telling someone repeatedly to change their level of permissions to administartor - when they have repeatedly conveyed that they already have, and that they had always been in that state - is very irritating.
I will re-state what did work for me, but it is not a fix. I rolled back to ACR v6.2 - which has a different interface for navigating to the "new folder". It's obvious the problem lies with this new naviagtion panel in acr v6.6, because the display does not update, and it leaves the path blank. Whether it is ACR's coding that is at fault or the OS - I neither know nor care. Can either of you escalate this thread to someone in the department that writes this code to have a look see, please!

Cs5 camera raw: "this file could not be created" problem

When I'm attempting to save raw files in any format (jpeg, dng, tiff, etc) to a different directory from where they're intially opened from I get "this file could not be created" error. It saves fine if goes to the same directory where the file has been opened from.
The problem started happening for no apparent reason. There have been no changes to the system (no new installs, etc), except for recent adobe updates, but I can't find any other users complaining about this problem. This happens on admin and all other accounts. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
photoshop cs5 / win7 64-bit

Hm, perhaps a folder closer to the root than the folder you have selected has a permissions issue.
Is the folder you're trying to use rooted on the hard drive (i.e., does the path begin with a drive letter)?
Keep in mind that whether you are an Administrator or not, with Windows UAC enabled the app is normally not running as an Administrator. That can affect permissions. You might want to either try running the app via Run As Administrator or temporarily disable Windows UAC to see if this is an issue.
How are you starting Camera Raw? From within Photoshop or Bridge?
Also, do you have the latest Camera Raw update?

ITunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read

It's about time i posted something about my problem because i've searched everywhere and I did not get the answer i wanted.
When i try to put a song (Drag and Drop) from my Library to my Iphone, the message "iTunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read" shows up. I have no idea how to fix this, I haven't seen apple answer to a single one of these threads either.
I've only seen users try to answer this question.
Anyways, when i put the songs on my Iphone, it is also grayed out. There is also a dotted circle (symbol) beside the checkmark of the song.
I've tried creating a AAC version of all the songs already. No luck
Please help

Two possibilities come to mind.
Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
Or...
Repair Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

Itunes could not copy song because the file could not be converted. Can anyone help

Synced Jeff Wayne's War of the World from Mac to Iphone - 1 track could not be copied - error message "the file could not be converted" popped.
Any suggestions as to problem and remedy?

This "Workaround" doesn't fix the fact that Itunes generate an error message because it is unable to convert the audio file ALTHOUGH the audio file is OK.
This problem started with Itunes 11.1.3, and it affects almost every album in my library for no reasons ...
Tried deleting all library file, creating a new library and re-importing audio file that I know are OK ... funny thing, it's not always the same file that create this bug.
Really a random bug ... reopened itunes with "compatibility option" set to "Windows XP SP3" and it's different tracks from the same album that can't be converted now.

Lightroom 5.2 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

When I am using Lightroom 5.2, and I try to edit a file in Adobe Photoshop CC from Lightroom, Photoshop starts up and after 15 to 20 seconds, I receive the following error message: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." If I click "OK" on the error message form, the image finally opens in Photoshop.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.2 and Photoshop CC multiple times, but the edit in Photoshop problem won't go away.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Mark

I am having the same problem in lightroom 5 on a mac (Mavericks). I'm wondering if it's because I have both Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CC and somehow they are conflicting, but I don't see how. I clearly have Photoshop CC as the primary external editor.
Last night, after seeing this post, and ekupp's response, I uninstalled Photoshop CC and reinstalled it via the creative cloud and that fixed it, but today it's doing the same thing again. When I choose to edit in photoshop CC, Photoshop CC opens but I still get the error in lightroom. If Photoshop CC is already open, I still get the error. I refuse to keep uninstalling/reinstalling it... I can't lose Photoshop CS5 as I use it for designing (I like the view in mini bridge better), but I like CC for editing.
This is creating a secondary problem for me as I am ending up with a bazillion (OK, maybe 5) psd copies of the raw files that I want to edit. When I get the error, Lightroom proceeds to render the files. I really want to turn that function off because as of now I have to try to click the microscopic "x" for each file as it "prepares to edit" and that's tedious and is creating extra files I don't want.
Last thing, since I'm here and hopeful to get an answer... I have a Mac, as I stated and I like my spaces. However, when the "edit in photoshop" function works spaces continues to force me to the photoshop space. No multitasking allowed as my files are opened. I think this is a lightroom or photoshop quirk, as when I run actions I am able to go to a different space (safari or lightroom) to work as it works for me.

Smart Previews issue. LR5 catalog saying "The file could not be found" for entire collection. How do I "sync" or "find" the smart previews?

I created an LR5 catalog with 1:1 previews and smart previews. I then placed the catalog along with the previews and smart previews files into dropbox.
Came home to work remotely, opened the catalog from dropbox and I can see the photos in library mode. But once I go to develop, LR is saying "The file could not be found"
Smart Preview cache file is there right below the lrcat file.
Anyone know how I can make the catalog find that smart previews cache?

Thanks for the quick response.
There are ? next to the folders but that's to be expected because that drive is not connected to my comp.
And there are exclamation points next to each image.. but again.. drive is not connected. But I've used smart previews before and that was the fix to working without the original raw images available.
However the smart previews don't seem to be working this time as I cannot edit the images.

Itunes could not copy music to the ipad because the file could not be converted

iMac Intel Core i3, iPad 2 iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3
I am trying to get an album I purchased from iTunes copied to music on my iPad. I get the message, "iTunes could not copy ... music to the iPad because the file could not be converted." This happens on only two tracts from the album (Mendelsshon: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra).
I have tried deleting the album from iTunes and downloading it again from iCloud. I have erased it from my iPad, too. No matter what I do the same two tracts keep having problems.
Any answers. All help would be appreciated.
Judy

This is strange. Perhaps the iTunes Store version of the track is somehow corrupted? That happened once to me, and I submitted a report, and a few weeks later there was a new iTunes Store version that worked ok.
In the meantime, you could try converting it within iTunes to a different format. Use the menu command "Advanced >> Create xxxx version," where "xxxx" is whatever you've set in preferences as your "Import settings." It needs to be different from 256k AAC, which is what you have already from the store.
If iTunes doesn't choke on the conversion, chances are your iPad will accept it.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
System
Lightroom 4.2 x64
Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
Windows 7 Pro x64
AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
16 GB Memory
NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
Scratch space on three drives

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

Lightroom 5.6 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

I upgraded to lightroom 5.6 recently and i am using photoshop cs 6.
My OS is windows 8 on i5 4670 with R280X gfx card 16gb ram
After editing a photo with lightroom , when I right click to edit in photoshop, immediately photoshop launch but the image isnt imported to photoshop.
After like 30sec an error message pop out saying "The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched".
After another 10sec then the photo appear in photoshop... this is getting irritating to me.
if i select to just open the original or a copy of the original it works fine. It only happens when I try to open it with lightroom changes.
I had uninstall/reinstall both photoshop and lightroom as well as remove all the plugins i had, but the problem doesnt go away.
Another issue with lightroom 5.6 is the the adjustment brush is slow and sluggish, it is so unusable when I zoom in to use the adjustment brush.
I didnt had that issue before i upgraded. OMG
anyone have solution to my problem ?

I upgraded to the latest version of ps cc 2014 , problem resolved.
look like cs6 i outdated or something

The File Could Not Be Read or Written?

I am trying to sync some songs to my iPod Touch (brand new, by the way) and occasionally I hit a song where I get the error message that the "file could not be read or written."
I set iTunes to only sync checked songs and video. I mark the problem song as "corrupted" in the notes and then uncheck it. When I sync again, it skips that song and the sync continues until it finds another song that is "corrupted."
Strangely though, I can play the song on my iMac with no problems. I just can't sync it to my iPod.
How do I fix this?

I had this issue and couldn't figure out what it was for the life of me. I am running windows 7 and the latest version of itunes. I tried multiple reinstalls of itunes and restores of the ipod. I finally got it fixed by following this guide.

Apparently there was an issue with my .dll files. Hope this helps.

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully. Also while watching the same episode on my laptop (Mac Book Pro) it freezes.

I had this same message appear today when i was putting new music on my ipod touch 4th gen. The only difference is that I wasnt using an external drive. I was using the one on my computer. This is the first time i have had this problem
