"This wav file could not be read"

I have a DL project with 30 timelines. It has been playing and burning fine for the last 4 months--I've just been tweaking menus and replacing some of the assets with newer encodes.
Yesterday when I attempted to preview I got the message "this wav file could not be read." There are 35 .wav files in the project. This morning I did a "save as" on the project and systematically removed the wav files from the timelines two at a time until I found what was causing the problem (naturally it was the very last one). This was not a wav file that had been replaced in recent months, it has been in the project from the beginning
Then I opened the original project and deleted only that .wav file from the timeline and the project previewed fine. So I deleted the .wav file from the project and then imported the same .wav file again, placed it in the timeline and the project works fine.
Can someone tell me what would cause this behavior? Is there some sort of corruption in the asset and I'm going to have the same problem again? Or is it more likely some corruption in the project, and if so what could it be or what should I do about it?

I have just replaced all WAV files in the project with ac3 files("reaplace asset" command).
Still, when building DVD, god damned Encore CS4 mumbles "this WAV file could not be read."
WTF?
I looked through several topics on the Adobe forums where people ask the same question. There is no one a single answer! So, I'm back to Sonic Scenarist!
No time for "dancing with a tambourine," around a blunt Adobe.
And by the way, when Encore telling "This wav file could not be read" -- WHY it's not telling me WHICH ONE file? Do I have to guess or ask a fortune-teller?

I am running a 64-Bit, Windows based LR5, Errors read "The file could not be read"

I have been getting higher amounts of RAW (Nikon) files that are unable to be read. I can see the images, it sits in my drives, its viewable in my camera.
BUT it simply will not work with LR5. I cannot edit or export them. These files are due for an assignment, and I am absolutely frustrated.
Opening the files in "Develop" tab takes ages, and I am talking minutes (5-10 mins) and when it does, it goes into this "the file could not be read" SHITuation. Sorry for the spelling error.
What the hell is wrong, and how do I correct it?

not up with this techo stuff
others better educated will need to know this stuff
which Nikon been uses?
have you been able to process these files in the past
which LR?............LR5

In trying to update I received this message: Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

In trying to download an update I first received: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: No data was received (please try again)" It also gave a link to download manually. When I tried from the Firefox website I got: /Users/(deleted for privacy)/Desktop/Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator. I tried this 3 times.

Solved for me.
I set the owner/permissions of my profile's mozilla folder's (and all the files in it) to read/write access, and the problem disappeared.
in linux:''
* cd /home/myusername/.mozilla
* chown -cR myusername:mygroup ./
* chmod -cR +rw ./
'''Never do that with root privs (nor with sudo)'''

When I tried to update, I got this message: "/tmp/S_ku+qmL.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator" What do I do???

What do I do now?? Paul Stager [email protected]

Hello,
I'm trying to troubleshoot several Illustrator files that won't open on desktops at my company's 2nd office. The files open fine on any desktop at my primary office. When opening the files from the 2nd office, it begins "Reading Illustrator file..." then the message "The file could not be read due to an error" is displayed and the file closes out.
Both offices have the same model desktop and are running:
Adobe Illustrator CS6 (up to date)
Windows 7 x64
Both desktops have the same system fonts and I've tried saving the files locally.
Thanks, Shaun

Hey Jacob and Monika,
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I did already try saving the files to the hard disk.
"Both desktops have the same system fonts and I've tried saving the files locally."
My fix was copying the content of the files into new, blank .ai files. Those new files open from both offices now.
Still, I wish I could have identified the issue in case it happens again. The error message is vague and there isn't much info on the web about it.
Best, Shaun

ITunes sync problem: file could not be read or written

I am running itunes 10.5.2 on OSX 10.7.2 on a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook
A week ago i did a so called "clean install" on my Mac, making sure to back everything up on one external drive, and clone the disk on another before beggining. I started with snow leopard and then installed the upgrade from the app store. I then reinstalled all of my software, loaded my photos, setup my preferences and devices, and finally directed itunes to the media folder on my external drive.
I had been using the external drive for itunes for a couple of years: on the previous system and even my previous desktop, with no problems whatsoever.
All my songs apps etc. showed up and there seemed to be no issue.
Then I tried to sync my iphone 4s and it started off okay, but about halfway through the message "could not sync ___ song to iphone because the file could not be read or written". When i located the song in question it was where it should be and even played properly in itunes. The second try would bring about the same error only with a different song. This went on several times before I realized something was really wrong.
I made sure to change the permissions for all itunes folders, music folders, even the external drive itself to have read & write permissions for all fields, and checked the box to include all internal files. I also tried resetting my iphone, syncing through another usb port, and running permissions checks on the main drive.
Thinking it could be a broken hard drive, I tried moving my aperture folder to the internal drive and all 30 GB transfered no problem. But when I tried to move the itunes folder to another drive, it stopped midway through and the finder gave me "error -36" saying that some song could not be transfered because "the file could not be read or written".
In case it helps I have included the Console log from on of my attempts to syc.
Any ideas? Thanks for your time and effort in helping.

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

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
Apparently there was an issue with my .dll files. Hope this helps.

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.

"file could not be read or written" files grey.

Trying to re-sync iPhone to mac, iTunes is up to date and so is iPhone but 80% of the songs on iPhone are grey and are unplayable.
When trying to sync, anywhere from the 1st song up to the 14th (there are lots more songs but it doesn't ever load past 14) iTunes freezes for about 5 minutes and the message "iTunes could not copy "song" to the iPhone because the file could not be read or written" appears.
The files it is talking about work perfectly when played on iTunes but still don't sync.
I have tried deleteing enough music so that I can sync the entire library and even restoring the phone but nothing has worked.
Help.

"ABC could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" error when downloading

Almost every time I download a file, the download gets to the end and then I get this error "<filename> could not be saved, because the source file could not be read", and then the download fails.
I checked my addons and they are not the problem. This doesn't happen when I try another Firefox profile. I tried several solutions offered in "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files" but they didn't help. It's not my antivirus.
I hate to start another profile because I have my current one just the way I like it.
Please help!

You can check the file attributes of all the files in the Firefox Profile Folder to make sure that you have write permission.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
