"Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."

I just built a new workstation for processing photos using PS CS5. I use external drives to store my images as I find it easier for backing up as well as for when I want use my laptop for sorting, etc.. I copied over all my old "Collection" files, and of course, had to "fix" them once on the new machine. Once pointed in the right direction, the collections all fill out correctly.
When I go to process a collection though, I encounter an odd problem I can't seem to sort out. I can delete files, rename files, copy/paste to the external drives, etc.. What I can't seem to do is add Labels, Ratings, or modify RAW settings. I mean, I can use ACR to make adjustments, I just can't seem to save them.
The system just ignores label, rating commands completely. When I try to save an ACR adjustment I get this error. "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."
The files are NOT write protected. I'm set up as the owner of my workstation, with complete control of the system. I can't seem to find any useful information about this error because the "write permission error" seems to only be happening on installs, so that's all I can find help for.
My system:
Intel Core i7 970@ 3.20GHZ
24.0 GB RAM
64-bit OS - Windows 7 Pro
DX58S02 Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

Thanks for replying. I've been going crazy trying to fix this.
To answer your first question; I use sidecar XMP files. If everything from my archive was shot in RAW I'd try converting to DNG and see if embedding the changes directly in a file worked. Unfortunately, a lot of my old stuff was shot in JPG, so sidecars seems to be the best choice.
When I add labels, ratings, as well as change RAW settings on files I place on my workstations HD everything works. It's only when I try to do these things with the same files on removable drives that I run into trouble. The drives I use are Transcend 640GB StoreJet 25ms connected via USB.
I don't think it's a UAC problem. At least, to my understanding, doesn't that control how your machine alerts you to program changes? I looked into how to change ownership, and did so, but that didn't work. Here's a link to what I mean: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/windows-7-access-denied-permission-ownership/
I'm stumped. I also hate the idea that I'll have to go through various folders to find images from already created collections, copy them to a new folder on my HD and then work on them. Then I'll have to put them all back... ugghhhh

Unable to load the vertipaq engine because there was a COM exception . Return argument has an invalid type.

Hi All,
I have been using powerpivot for months (2010 PowerPivot on Excel 2010, with Sql 2008). I tried to open powerpivot today and get the following below. I have already tried uninstalling powerpivot and reinstalling it to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ivan

Hi All,
For anyone who this happens to, what ended up fixing it was uninstalling and reinstalling excel. I was using excel 2010, so I did this
Go to add/remove programs
Highlight Microsoft Office Professional 2010
Click Change
ensure Add remove features is selected and click continue
click on the little arrow beside excel and click on Not Available, click continue
After it is done, excel will be uninstalled.
When this is done, you can do the same process again, but this time chose the other appropriate selection
instead of not available. I chose Run All from My Computer.

Unable to save raw conversion settings

CS5 user.I 've been using Bridge for a while and never had this problem before. Why am I getting the following message. "Unable to save raw conversion settings. There was an error parsing the files."

Storing on external drive will not corrupt them.
However, it can cause permission problems in writing data. A workaround is the right click on Bridge Icon and choose "Run as Administrator"
Also, if you access files on network there can be permission problems.

Do you change the default RAW conversion settings?

I have used Sony (and formerly used Panasonic MFT) cameras (a900, a850) for two or three years and never had any reason to change the default RAW conversion settings. Five weeks ago I started using Sony's new a77, and for the first time am not satisfied with Aperture's default RAW conversion. (I recalibrated all my monitors -- twice -- thinking that something in my color workflow had got busted.) The default a77 RAW file conversion results in an overly-saturated, "Disneyfied" picture. I have found that by sliding "Boost" almost to zero, and cutting "Hue Boost" by half, I end up with a much more life-like, atmospheric, picture -- and one that closely matches the default rendering of RAW files from the a850 and a900.
1. Do you change the default RAW conversions settings? Why?
2. To what units, specifically, do the scales of these controls refer?
3. It seems that Hue Boost provides a range of settings that corresponds to the print settings "Perceptual" (= zero hue boost) to "Relative Colorimetric" (= full hue boost); does that make sense?
The User Manual, as usual, provides a solid concise explanation of the RAW Fine Tuning Brick.
Any experience you can share is appreciated. Thanks.
(Added:
(It seems conceptually wrong to me to have these controls be part of the RAW converter. Are there other adjustments in Aperture that do the same thing?)
--Kirby.

William -- many thanks for your help. I will almost certainly change the default for my a77 (as well as for the Nex-7 I used for a week).
Are there is any other adjustments mathematically similar to the "Boost" or "Hue Boost" sliders in the RAW Fine Tuning Brick? I ask for two reasons:
- Mostly I'm just trying to figure out what they do, and strengthen with knowledge my quiver of Aperture effects. According the the User Manual, they change the overall contrast, and the amount to which the hue is changed as the overall contrast is increased.
- In practice, it makes sense to me to have the RAW conversion produce the "flattest", least "effected" image possible -- to leave _aesthetic_ adjustments to me. I don't want to use the RAW Fine Tuning controls as part of my workflow; I want to know how to get the same increase in contrast and control of hues using other adjustments (that, specifically, don't require de-mosaic'ing). Apple seems to indicate that the use of the RAW Fine Tuning controls may be the best approach:
For images that consist of saturated primary and secondary colors, such as an image of flowers in a lush garden, shifting the hues to their true values has a desirable visual effect. However, this is not visually desirable for images containing skin tones.
The implication is spelled out in the sentencesthat follow: use the max setting for flowers, and the minimum setting for portraits. Isn't it odd that this recommendation is left to the RAW converter, and is buried deep in the User Manual?

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?
kim

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
"The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I tried restarting "search service host controller".
The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

Hi robikshrestha,
This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
in your situation?
Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.
Thanks,
Qiao Wei

Elements 7 on windows 7, have downloaded a new version on raw for my new camera eos50d still unable to read the raw files help

Hi
Hope someone can help me with this one, have a new computer with windows 7 as the operating system, have installed elements 7 and have now purchased the 50d, as i shoot in raw have tried to open the file but elements is unable to read the raw file, have looked on various threads and have downloaded the new version of raw, this version is saved in my download file directory, have copied across these files to the elements folder but i still cannot read my raw file for the 50d, is there something i have missed.
collisa

please have a look at the folllowing link about the isntallation of the camera raw plugin.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407344.html
be sure not to have the older version of camera raw plugin in the same folder as that of new one. dont even rename it. Remove it and store it in some other location in case you need to revert back the changes. The camera raw plugin is called : Camera Raw
thanks

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - tried the trust standards...

2013 standard sharepoint server. Content DBs were on a Trial enterprise server and copied over to standard server. All was good on trial server.
there are 8 sites on server, 2 of the sites cannot create or edit items, they get "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
googling around i tried everything. restarted search host controller, checked ram usage (8gb free), manage content types, iisresets, edit the web.config file ( add things for ram, search host, etc), no alternate access mappings, .net HTTP activation, rebooted
server... I'm sure i missed some.
The server is new install, all but the August HF CUs. Trial server the content DBs came from is at same level.
It is not a server level issue as the other 6 sites are fine. its something with just 2 sites.
kinda stuck here...
Thanks,

With the USL Logs were hard to track down what was happening, though I think it was too do with /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery.
I did the Enable/Disable Anonymous Access on the Directory with no luck.
Brought up Fiddler and Saw that I was getting 401 and 500 Errors on
GET http://team.intranet.eandm.com/it/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery HTTP/1.1
So it had something to do with Permissions. I checked the Authentication and the sites that worked had Forms Auth Enabled, and the ones that didn't, didn't have forms Auth enabled. Enabling it manually was no go.
I then went though the web.config on the working and non-working sites and there were some differences. The Authentication was Forms on the working site, Windows on the nonworking. There was many things not present. httpModules section was missing,
Many of the Microsoft Identity /Authentication lines etc.
So I Basically took the web.config from the working site and copied it to the non-working site preserving the following line from the original web.config:
<machineKey validationKey="{key}" decryptionKey="{key}" validation="{hash}" />
After that I had Security Issues, Though I think this was Caused by the July 2014 CU making everything use the Microsoft Identity parts, where as the server I was porting form had the sites created before the July 2014 CU. (though both were at the same level)
Even though all of the users were present in the site security, I had to Drop and re-add them to every site/and list with special Perms.
With the Security Fixed, I no longer received the Error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
Knock on wood its all functioning fine.

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
Please try again."
This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
of "Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

Where are the RAW adjustment settings kept?

I have imported my pictures (a complete folder) into Lightroom, made all the adjustments, exported the jpegs... great! Now I want to backup my folder and the RAW adjustment settings I have made.
But where are all the adjustment settings kept, and can I backup those settings for later retrieval with my original RAW files?
Thanks for all your advice.

> That's the point, my folders have no .xmp files any where! I did a search on my only drive c: and there is no .xmp files at all. But I can assure you that all my 400 or so RAW files retained all the adjustments in Lightroom. What's going on?
 
 Your adjusted files may be residing elsewhere. So, select one RAW image on which you are sure you've edited, and then reveal it in the Finder or the Windows equivalent. Look around there; there certainly should be .xmp files if you've run Export xmp on that folder.
 
 Another neat way, for me, anyway, is to Convert all the edited RAW files to DNG; then they'll contain the edits within the file, as currently to JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSD files.

CS6 cant save the printer driver settings

The problem is similar to this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4431235#4431235
Illustrator simply does not save any of the settings in the driver tabs (such as custom print sizes, paper tipe, source tray etc) unless I hit the Print button (e.g. I cant save those settings temporarily by pressing the Done button nor I can save a print presset for a later use), and that is a very very very annoying thing an it brings back some memories of the time I upgraded to CS and CS2 and the case then was even worse because it didnt save the printer driver settings even by printing and allways reverted to the default settings, and now I remember why I hate Adobe so much, because they never had a fix for that until CS3 came out.
That issue has been tested with XP 7 Vista both 32 and 64 (a lot of printer drivers) and it is not a single configuration problem, so please before asking some questions about the kind of the system and software etc do the following with your CS6 (or CS,CS2) and please tell me what happens. Choose File->Print and in the dialog choose whatever printer you have, press 'Setup...' button in the lower left corner, ignore the stupid prompt that some unknown Adobe genius tech invented, press Preferences button in the new Print window that pops up and in the printer driver UI window choose whatever setting you like that differs from the default setting, and then press Ok then Print and in the main Illustrator print dialog pres Done (but not Print if you are in CS6) button to close the dialog. Then open the Print dialog window again, navigate to the printer driver you just adjusted and please tell me what settings you have - those that you adjusted or the default settings. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the responceq Johny_07, unfortunately it solves the problem only if I have to specify the size of the media, but I need to specify the source tray, paper type and so on, parameters that are not present in the dialog box, and those are not remembered by Illustrator also. Do you experience that problem, I have allways wondered why there is no info concerning that problem, is it happening only with my instalations or it is a general program bug.

Help!! - "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."

New OJ6830, latest HP software installed on Win7 64 bit.
HP Scan scans and displays the scanned pages. But, when I try to save the file as a pdf or tiff, I get the following error message:
"The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."
BTW, I have tried running the app as Administrator and have disabled my antivirus software.
Why won't the HP scan app save the file? Has anyone else seen this error message?
Is there anything else I can do, or this this just a major bug in HP scan software?

Mike,
One Idea:
Make sure you have "San Preview" checked else the software will not accept "specified location".
Reference:
Save Scan to Specified Location
