The file could not be saved in folder "Time Machine Backups"

I've tried to setup TM with several external drives (USB and Firewire) and I get the same results... the file "xxx" could not be saved in folder "Time Machine Backups". Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
If that's exactly what the message says, it's a new one. If it's actually "An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume" or "Aborting backup because indexing a file failed," see #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If not, see #A1 there for a handy widget that shows the backup messages from your logs. Download and install it, then copy and post all the messages for one backup attempt here.

And I can apply the extension successfully, but when I attempt to download I receive the error above.

Upgrade or downgrade it accordingly.

Why cant i download some things without firefox saying " The file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions. Choose another save directory.

when i begin to download some things a pop -up shows up and says that i dont have permission, and that i should choose another save directory. what should i do ?

Thanks. That let me change the location where I saved it. Plus I can now execute the file. Update downloaded and installed. Success
The ALT e brought up the toolbar. I picked the Tools tab, Options. Under the General tab was the Downloads options with the radio button for "Always ask me where to save files".
However, I think the problem is that when my hard drive crashed. HP created the "Valued Customer" and fixed computer under this user. Now I cannot use my Spaniard user name. The "Valued Customer" looks at Spaniard as another user that doesn't have user permissions.
Do you have any suggestions how to give Spaniard user permissions? Or how to get rid of the Valued Customer?

I am trying to get iOS 7, but I need to download iTunes 11.1 first. when i try to install it, it says that some files could not be saved and it won't install

My macbook air will not download itunes 11.1 because some of the files could not be saved? Need it to download ios 7

That would be my first guess. You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform.

The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred

Hello,
I have scanned PDF files varying in size from < 1,000 pages to > 5,000 pages. I seem to experience this issue on and off on various files regardless of the size. The issue is when I OCR the pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, when it's completed the OCR process and I go to save it errors out with: "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred"
I have tried:
1. Saving to local hard drive
2. Saving to network drive
3. Renaming file and repeating steps 1&2
4. File/Save as and reducing (but it won't allow me to do so without saving first, lol)
Any thoughts? Thanks so much.
Phil

Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open". When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature. Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing. We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing. We stored the files in another server and nothing. One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder. Another is saving the file with a different file name.
I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane. See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”. No luck with this one too.
Is definitively an intermittent problem. The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Correction on Question:
This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
Users began getting the error message:
'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject.
We really need help getting this resolved.

I keep getting "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred."

Everytime I try to save a PDF file in Reader X... "save as...PDF" I get the "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred."
When I save it "save as...Text" is saves.

No it is from a disk drive.

Hi,
Are you facing the issue with any pdf file?
Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.7 and check.
You might also want to repair Acrobat and see.

The document could not be saved. This file is already open.

This problem recently developed.with several versions of Acrobat Reader 9.x installed. The full version of Acrobat is not installed.
Users used to be able to open an editable .pdf file in IE, edit it and save it. Some users can no longer do this. The are getting
the error message "The document could not be savedl. This file is already open. Users who are able to save from within a browser, are actually
using Acrobat Reader, which opens when opening the .pdf file from within the browser. Everyone can open Acrobat Reader V 9.x, edit an editable .pdf file and save it. It is just when the .pdf file is opened from a browser application, and the reader is not also launched. Help! This just started happening.
Thanks,
Sandy

Could not save preferences because the file could not be found (Windows) then Error 1 on PS,AE,PR,ID

I was trying out Photoshop, everything was running fine then one day when I close it I get an error:
"Could not save preferences because the file could not be found..."
Now when I boot it I get the Configuration Error 1.
After Effects still boots, but it reset all my preferences there. For example the workplace layout was reset, all my saved Output presets were removed and my memory-cache and performance settings were reset again.
Premiere and InDesign get the error too and won't boot.
This is the second time it has happened, I'll try wiping every Adobe program and reinstalling all over again, but it had run fine before for a while and it randomly happened.
Any idea how to fix this?

Nope I havent touched the Documents folder.
Forgot to mention that I'm on Windows 7

When I try to save, I keep getting the message "The document could not be saved. You don't have permission" - even though I am the Administrator and the Get Info displays "Administrator and (me)".

When I try to save, I keep getting the message "The document could not be saved. You don't have permission" - even though I am the Administrator and the Get Info displays "Administrator" and my_name(me)". Also, when I do a disk permission repair, it always repairs the same applications and files. Last night, I did a disk permission repair twice and both times it took a long time and did the exact same repair both times.

Disk Utility won't repair your home folder. Sounds like your home folder permissions are messed up tho. Try repairing them this way by using Lion Recovery.
1. Restart Lion, and before you hear the chime, hold down the Command and R keys.
2. You’ll be at the Repair Utilities screen. Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
4. The password reset utility window launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account where you’re having issues.
5. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes just a couple of minutes. When it’s done, exit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac.
Good luck

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.

ITunes could not copy "Beethoven's Symphony No 9 (from "A Clockwork Orange")" to iPhone "Heywood Floyd's iPhone" because the file could not be read or written

Hello, i am having the following problem...
"iTunes could not copy "Beethoven's Symphony No 9 (from "A Clockwork Orange")" to iPhone "Heywood Floyd's iPhone" because the file could not be read or written" [ ... and yes, Heywood Floyd is an avatar name..]
With this...
a. it occurs when I try to synch my iphone with iTunes.
b. I have tested the "Beethoven's Symphony No 9" files that I have found on my iTunes, and my iPhone, as there is a copy of "Beethoven_ Symphony No. 9, _Choral_" folder that is the concert from Bernard Haitink & London Symphony Orchestra;
c. This is where is get weird, a sort of Jack Torrance moment, they only file related to "A clock work orange" is 06 A Clockwork Orange - Ode to Joy.m4p...
So what is happening, and how can I resolve this, as I am not able to synch between my mac and my iPhone....

Check the media source drive for errors.
See also Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows. Not sure it is relevant but can't hurt.
If iTunes is confused about what media is and is not on the device take these steps:
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore from the earlier backup.

Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened

I recently learned to make gif images using KMPlayer and my Photoshop CS6, but today I hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. Normally I capture a scene from a show DVD I have in KMPlayer and then import the video frames into layers/frames in photoshop with no problem. Well today I went to do that, and captured the scene with what seemed like no problem (the small captured scene saved with no problem) but when I went to CS6 to import the video into layers, I got the error message "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened". At first I thought it was the KMPlayer saving the files wrong, so I retried and got the same error message. Irestored the players settings back to a default and the file still wouldn't open in photoshop, and then I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the player trying to get it to work, and then I thought it must be photoshop, because even scenes I had captured at an earlier day that worked perfectly fine when importing would not open.
What could possibly be causing this problem to occur. Should I uninstall/reinstall photoshop and see if that works, or am I doing something wrong?
The files I'm trying to import are AVIs as always, I even tried to capture scenes in other formats to no avail. What could be causing the problem?

I uninstalled an reinstalled photoshop totally and it didn't fix the problem either. I made a post on the KMPlayer's forum hoping for an answer but I haven't recieved one yet. I'm starting to think it's the kmplayer having a problem capturing, since I've started getting the error "could not import the file to layers because the file has no layers" sometimes in photoshop, but I'm still trying to work around in photoshop to see if the problem came from there.

The file could not be saved in folder "Time Machine Backups"
