"unable to create file name" error

I imported videos from ipod touch to iphoto. Then i try to export the videos on either desktop or external hard-drive and it gives me the "unable to create *file name*" error in both cases. To export videos i go FIle-Export, choose kind "original". Tried to do it with several different albums, and it doesn't work on any of them. Didn't have an issue for exporting pictures though.
Please help!
Nina

What exactly was selected when you did the test?

ODBC error generating temp file: "Unable to create file buffer" Server 2008

Guys:
I have a 32 bit application that has been running for years with no problems under XP and MS Server 2003.
To access the oracle DB we use MFC drivers and ODBC system datasources for Oracle 10g and 11g.
We recently moved from MS Server 2003 to Server 2008 Standard Edition (32 bit).
We also upgraded our DB from 10g to 11g R2.
Now the application gets intermittent errors when accessing the database like the one below:
"Unable to create file buffer"
I looked this up on other forums and it seems to be a problem with the ODBC driver creating uniquely names temp files
in the system temp folder. This was a documented problem some years ago and was fixed but now seems to have
reared its ugly head for Server 2008.
I'm not sure who the culprit is: 2008 32-bit or the 11g drivers.
I just know that some of our transactions fail because ODBC has problems and this is killing us.
As you see we are still running on a 32 bit OS and have created the ODBC DSNs using odbcad32.exe.
The application connects to the DB and works MOST OF THE TIME but random transactions now fail because of this error.
If I try to kill all of the *.tmp files from the windows temp directory it seems to solve the problem for a while but then the problem comes back rather quickly.
Any help here would be apprciated.

This may solve the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130719
Don't just delete the offending file...it will be recreated eventually. Post a dummy file to prevent the error from reoccurring.
My only question is why you put more info on database and ODBC versions here and not in your SR? I'll note this in your SR for ya ;)

Does anyone have a clue wats wrong?

The builder is missing the C compiler and the linker from Microsoft for the emulator target.

POST fails on T5140 server. POST shows errors about "Unable to create files". Server won't boot

All,
Need any help that someone can provide. Currently I have a T5140 server. Yesterday it crashed unexpectedly. We were able to reboot the system and it come back up with the service light on. Service light was indicating a memory DIMM problem. We powered down the server to replace the memory modules that had service led showing for them. After powering the system on, it never gets past POST now. We attached a serial console to the ILOM and watch the post. POST starts normally. Then we start to see messages about "unable to create files. Finally POST gets to a point where it looks like it is finishing but hangs. It hangs at the point where it say that it is initiating run level 3. But it just sits there and never boots the system. Any ideas? Is this a motherboard issue that really cemented itself when the power was removed to the system? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are stuck.
Thanks.

I have had this same issue, unfortunately you will need to place a service call for a field tech to come on-site and replace the failty DIMM. The T5140 WILL NOT BOOT if any one or more DIMMs fail to POST.
The only partial solution is to disable the CPU that is connected to the bad DIMM so the system will successfully boot up in degraded mode. But I would not run the box like that for long.
You need to call service a.s.a.p.

Disk Utility: Unable to create "ImageName.dmg" error -39

Ladies,

The target drive already contains 3 earlier images. The biggest image has a size of 28,14 GB. And as you can see this drive ha enough place for other images.
So what is going wrong?
I Googled for this error -39 without any success and I have not found any thing about this particular error in Apple's discussions or support pages.
I would feel a lot safer with a decent image of my Hard Drive. I already lost one and do not want to repeat this again...
Can any one help?

If you want to create a backup of your system volume, then do not use disc images. They are not bootable. Here's a far better solution:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
You can also do the same using other backup utilities that can create bootable backups:
Backup Software Recommendations
My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)

I got the problem. it is with DCOM account. I am adding a user in my LAN network, after clicking apply it taking the user in System account not in the domain account. e.g: I logged into my Sys(no: hst-pcs5424) with ABC domain, added a user ns36225 in this domain. During application setup it is looking for DCOM account in hst-pcs5424 account not in my ABC domain. So i need to add a user to the system account that should work without the LAN netwrok. But now my user account won't work with LAN.

Invalid File Name Errors when syncing to Ipod

Ever since an update last fall I have been getting Invalid file name errors when I try to sync my ipod. A window would pop up saying "Windows could not copy 'SONGNAME' to the iPod 'IPODNAME' because an unkown error occurred (-37)." I would press OK and another window would immediately pop up that would say, "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPODNAME' failed. the file name is invalid or too long."
The windows would keep popping up countless times until the sync would just seem to time out and stop.
The problem songs would have no problem playing in iTunes.
Prior to the update this did not happen. No new songs were added around this time and nothing was changed to my file directory structure. I was too busy to troubleshoot this problem at the time and hoped that another update would fix it. Well, here I am many months and updates later and still no fix. After fiddling with iTunes and resetting my Ipod multiple times (goodbye saved angry bird games)I have found out that:
1. By writing down the file name when the error windows pop up I can get a partial list of the problem file names. I could not get a complete list of the problem files because the sync would time out before a full list could be compiled (the list appears to be in the hundreds).
2. If I changed the name of the file by adding OR deleting one character, remapping the song in itunes, the song would then sync properly.
3. If I changed the name of the file, remapped the location of the file within iTunes, changed the name of the file BACK to the original name that iTunes supposedly had a problem with, and then remapped the location of the song within iTunes, the song would then sync properly
4. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, the song would sync properly.
5. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, moved the file BACK to the original directory, remapped the song again, the song would sync properly.
6. If I renamed the file and then named it back to the original file name WITHOUT remapping the file location in iTunes, the song would still not sync properly
7. If I moved the file into a different directory and then back again without remapping the file location, the song would still not sync properly.
8. Changing or deleting the tags has no effect at all.
9. File name lengths are already under 200 characters and there are no special characters used.
So, to sum up, I have found out a way to fix the issue. The problem is, that there are hundreds of songs that appear to be affected and renaming or moving every single one individually and then remapping is extremely inefficient and ignores the cause of the problem. I also did not want to delete the itunes library and then add all of the songs back in because I have many custom playlists that I have spent hours creating and I do not want to delete them.
Is there a better way to fix the problem? Especially if someone knows the root cause?

I got a procmon log file and examined it. I have the file and I could also provide you with that or screenshots of it.
There is nothing unusual about it. I can see entires in which CR has successfully opened the report and has cached in a c:\windows\temp.
However there is one or two non-successful entries that may be related, especially that examining the stack trace brings us to a call to get_ProductLocaleID():
- A call to read reg entry HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Locale fails with NAME NOT FOUND.
- immediately after that and from the same process (w3wp.ex) there is a call to open directory "c:\" which is logged as ACCESS DENIED.
Any subsequent unsuccessful calls seem to be results of exception handling in the debug code.
Does this point to any setup issues with CR? We always run the redistributable x86 runtime when installing it.

Recently, iPhoto will no longer allow my to export photos onto my folders on my desktop. It just says that it is unable to create file. Not sure why this is happening?

iPhoto is no longer allowing me to export & resize photos into a file on my desktop. It just states that it is Unable to create file on desktop. I'm not sure what this means on how to correct this issue. Any support would be greatly appreciated!

Then do the following:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
If Fix #1 fails to help continue with:
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Unable to create file

Hello
I am trying to add a data logging module into a VI that is running ok. But no matter what I try, the data is not stored into the selected file. I'm adding a screenshot of the block diagram.
The problem seems to be that Labview is unable to create a file. When I add no file path, the user should be prompted where to save the file, but this never happens. When I add a path/filename, Labview seems to ignore this. Regardless if the file already exists or it should be created by Labview, the file is not created/saved.
The errors I already encountered:
- Error 7 - File not found: when I add a path to the "create file" block
- Error 43 - The operation was cancelled by the user (which is not true, as the user is never asked where to save the file): when I add no path to the "create file" block
Note: the image below is part of a larger VI: it is in a flat sequence.
Note 2: I'm running LabView 2012, with realtime module.
Note 3: the rest of the program is running well, we are measuring data without problems, but nothing is being logged.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

The missing shift register can't be the problem, although it is considered better to use that for refnums and the like. For WHILE loops it is not strictly necessary as such a loop will always execute at least once and therefore the refnum AFTER the loop ends will be just as valid as the refnum BEFORE the loop. For FOR loops that can not be true. If the FOR loop executes 0 times (iteration count is specified as 0 or an empty autoindexing array is connected as input) then the refnum AFTER the loop will be always an invalid refnum if no shift register is used for that refnum, since there is no logical dataflow from the input tunnel of the loop to the output tunnel for this refnum.
As to the original question: Does the C:\LabVIEW\Data folder already exist on the harddrive?? If it does can you delete the Open/Create File node and place a new one on the diagram?

Unable to create "filename.dmg" (error -60008) {Disk Utility Problem}

Hi:
I’ve used Disk Utilities awesome capabilities many times, but am now running into my first real problem.
I am trying to create a 100 GB new blank disk image, using the “Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option for format, 256-bit AES encryption, a single partition-Apple Partition Map, and Image Format as read/write disk image.
When I implement this, it asks for the AES password then repeatedly crashes, albeit in slightly different ways each time. The most informative was a Unable to create “filename.dmg” (error -60008) message. I can’t find anything explanatory about this in Google
I’m wondering if this has something to do with my upgrade to Lion (OS 10.7.4) yesterday from Snow Leopard.
This error occurs on both my home and work iMacs. It seems to reliably occur about 1/2 way through typing in my password. The error occurs whether I use 128 or 256 AES encryption.
There is more than adequate space on the hard drive I am attempting to place this image on. Disk Utility is version 12.1.1 (353) and all is running on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
PS: This is a duplicate post from the OS Lion forums ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/18410534#18410534 ), but since a) it occurs on both my Intel iMacs, b) I totally rely on Disk Utility's capabilities, so this loss with the Lion upgrade really hurts, and c) we've had no luck in the Lion forums, we're hoping someone here has seen this issue and can help. Much appreciated.

Hello, I believe that's an authentication error, thinks your not an admin account. Might try this...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, move this folder to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost /
reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Unable to find file "ConfigureClusterNode" error

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Forgive me, I'm about to go for a psychic cure here and pull a rabbit out of the hat, or is it a needle from a haystack!?
I'm thinking that if this remote volume was like SMB/MS-DOS/Fat32, that the "caseness" may be the problem... here's why... Uppercase may translate to be shown either Capitalized or lowercase on the other end, and although Fat32 is supposed to be/ and in fact IS Case Sensitive, many things along the way may almost rightfully expect Uppercase 8/3 format, and "Testing.df1" may show as "Testing.df1", but also "TESTING.DF1", and "testing.df1" might show as "Testing.df1", but behind the scenes it's back to reality.
Might be the most nothingness I've ever pulled out of thin air!?

Fit Image CS4: Error: Unable to create Window - OS error [1400]:210

Hi there,
I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit Photoshop CS4 Extended and have come across a problem with the Automate/Fit Image script. I have read the other posts here concerning a bug in the script, but I'm not even getting to the stage of the script giving me any options to run - I just get the following in a Script Alert message box: Fit Image CS4: Error: Unable to create Window - OS error [1400]:210
I can see that the script is in the Presets/Scripts directory OK. Anyone with any ideas please?

Thanks for that reply. I tried this again and it's working now. The only thing I can think of is that I have closed and opened Photoshop a number of times since having the problem and that may have fixed it.
I find that if I am doing a lot of work in quick mask mode on large images with the pen tool, after a while, Photoshop starts to develop a very significant lag time, taking a number of seconds to draw the next point or respond to the tool (I'm on Vista 64 bit with 12 GBs of RAM, so it shouldn't be RAM, GeForce 8800 GTS video card 640MB dedicated video memory). I find that I have to frequently close Photoshop to get the tool response time back to normal. Perhaps the inability to draw a dialog box was somehow linked with this kind of problem....

File Name error when creating file in Solaris C locale

Background Info:
1.In Java, we can use new File(filename) to create a new file. The filename there is a string denoting the name of the new file.
2.As mentioned in bug4409965, "The 'C' locale in a 7-bit ASCII locale, the 8bit characters enteredn are not read in properly probably because in that locale, the input byte stream is expected to contain only 7bit characters, anything else is 'garbage'".
My problem is:
when I tried to construct a filename containing non-ASCII characters in the Solaris C locale, Java works quite different from C language.
To be specify, follwing c code works quite well in C locale:
char * temstring = "\0xd6\0xd0";
FILE* fd = fopen(temstring, "w+");
fprint(fd, "test");
fclose(fd);
Although the created file can't be viewed in C locale, the filename shows quite well in other suppoted locale , which means the filename doesn't get modified.
While in Java, the following code
File f = new File("\0xd6\0xd0");
fos.println("test");
try {
f.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e)
System.err.println(e.toString());
will generate the file in C locale as ???? as garbage file name. Even in the proper locale, the filename can't be read correctly.
I doubt the JVM in Solaris (file unixfilesystem.c) has modified the input filename and made the filename unreadable.
I just wonder if there is some workaround to solve this problem, which means I can correctly generate the filename using Java just as what the C code has done: create the file just as what I denote instead of modifing the filename.
Thanks

Hello:
Any luck with this problem?
I am facing the same problem and was wondering if you had found a solution....

Unable to install Safari 5: "not a valid short file name" error

Hi all,
Previous thread has been archived, but I thought I'd post an update on this issue, since we finally solved it!
To recap, I was getting an error on trying to install Safari which said "<username> is not a valid short file name", and the installation would fail. If installing under an admin username with a shorter name, the installation would succeed, but the same error message would occur for the original user when trying to launch Safari, during the initial configuration process. The problem also plagued some other installation processes, including (for example) Adobe Acrobat updates.
The problem turned out to be related to our redirection of user's profiles (My Documents, Application Settings etc.) to a fileserver. These are pointed to a file share named users on each office's primary file server, and this works fine for most purposes. However, we did not allow users read access to the "users" folder on the server in which their individual user directories were located (this was so users could not browse a list of employee names in this folder). This turned out to be causing the problem; by allowing read access to the folder, all the issues where cleared up.
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else who may have experienced the same problem!

Excellent news, lab.
Many thanks for letting us know the resolution.
