'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...

JMStudio: error when trying to play files from URL

JMStudio fails when I am trying to play files from youtube.
Error message "Could not create player for http://www.youtube.com/v/u0AXoIe9F6M".
Nevertheless it succeeds in playing *.flv files from the disk.
Whats the problem?

Have you tried copying the said file over to your
desktop and opening it from there?
Yes, the files open when I do that. It has something to do with persmissions I guess on the other system, but I am logging in as the same user/password as when I log in directly. I ran the fix permissions under the disk utility, but still no good. It isn't just related to Excel files either; I am having these problems when I try it with Word too.

Error when trying to retrieve files from 1Tb Seagate hard drive

15" MacBookPro mid 2009 OS 10.8.4.
I can copy small files individually but get this error message for large files or folders. "The operation can’t be completed because the (filename) is in use".
Some of these files were saved through Time Machine and some just copied across, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have tried many fixes (including Lgof etc. in terminal) but none work. I have no applications open when trying to retrieve. I have set my permissions properly, I have used Disk Utility to check permissions and repair them if necesarry. I have read and write access to the drive.
This has been going on for ages. If I can't fix it, some of my files will be irretrieveable and I will have to copy small ones individually.
Any ideas?
P.S. First time I've ever posted on an issue, so apologies if not enough information

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

TS4526 Unknown error when trying to play video from netflix or HBO go.

When I try to play a video from Netflix or HBO go it attempts to load and says unknown error please try again later. I've been trying this for several days. I logged out then logged back in with no change. It seems to play the other apps okay. I've only had the apple tv for a couple months and the software is up to date.

Had the same issue and found this information. Just tested and it worked for me. Hopfully helps some else also!
Answer: Change your DNS setting in the iPhone/iPad Wi-Fi settings.
That worked for me. My original DNS settings were assigned by my WIFI router a. I removed these and placed in: 208.67.222.222 (Open DNS server IP)
To make this adjustment go to Wi-Fi, locate your selected Wi-Fi network and click the blue arrow beside it to being up advanced settings, click in the DNS area to change it.

Unknown error when trying to copy music from itunes to ipod

Message appears "copy to the disk IP failed unknown error -53. Any ideas?

good gracious, Dick. you keep getting hit by exotic error messages. (in these circumstances, a -53 code is reasonably rare.)
just checking on something. what got you past the "exception" message that you were getting when you were trying to launch itunes? (thinking here that info on that might possibly give us a heads up on what might be happening with your -53.)

"Unknown error" when trying to get updates from App store...

Anyone else having trouble with the App store today? Trying to take in updates but get a "cannot be completed due to unknown error" huh? I've double/triple checked passwords etc, and they're free updates so I don't get it. Deleted apps and tried to re download, but no go..... Thoughts?
Thank you!

Hi there. I had the same issue just now. Tried twice and fortunately the apps started to update as per normal. Unfortunately, i'm not able to view my "featured" page. Hv raised the same question just now.

"Unknown error" when trying to save Flash Text

I get the message "unkown error" every time I try to save
flash text. Help topic in Dreamweaver 8 outlines the steps to take,
but not what to do if it doesn't work. I followed a thread for this
problem in the knowledge base, but it suddenly stopped with no
apparent solution. Please help!
P.S. I did as one responder suggested and opened a new page,
typed some text, and linked it to something in my root folder. File
path is: file:///Macintosh HD/Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver
8/East Meets West/eastmeeetswest.html

Are you using mac os?
as a guess from years of this- there is a "funky" character
in the hd name,
your username, or a folder name in the path to this local
site folder. Dw
trips up on the character and can't resolved the path to the
local site
folder.
so it doesn't create Flash Text or Flash Buttons and gives an
Undefined
Error.
And will give constant nags that "the selected homepage is
not in the local
site folder"
please do this.
open a new dw document using File->new
-->don't save this file<--
type some text, select it, and using the property inspector's
Browse to File
folder icon make a link to this site's "homepage"
view the code, copy the link code and paste into reply.
it should be an absolute full hard drive path like this:
href="file=///hdname/Users/username/folder/folder/file.html"
technote: "File or folder name in Mac OS may break
Dreamweaver
functionality"

Error when trying to recover files

I'm getting a "No Backup servers found" error when trying to recover files from my Azure backup vault. Any ideas folks?

Hi,
Please login to Azure Portal and check if you are able to see other servers from which you have backed up data, in the Portal.
Also, prerequisites for recovering file and folder data to a different server are:
· The target server is registered with the same Backup Vault the source server was backed up to.
· You have the passphrase used to encrypt the data from the source server.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

'System Error' when trying to save Form Manager Registry Settings

Hi,
trying to save changes made in the form manager registry settings [Home > Services > Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager > Registry Settings (http://localhost:8080/FormManagerAdmin/registry-cfg-load)], I get an error, which reads:
> System Error
>
The request could not be processed. Please retry the operation. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
Has anyone had this error as well?
The system runs fine apart from the jboss log files being crammed with the well-known and pretty annoying
SpyJMSException.
Does anyone have an idea how to apply changes to the form manager registry settings, if the web ui does not work? Where are the 'form manager registry settings' being stored? Maybe I succeed in changing the settings manually at least without having to re-install Livecycle...
Regards,
Steve

We are using JBoss 3.2.5.
Weirdly, last week a collegue of mine was able to save the registry changes. This week, both of us get the 'System error' when trying to save changes. Even using a default Administrator account, we were unable to save changes.
Is there any other way apart from the LiveCycle web UI to change the registry settings without having to re-install the server? Where are these values stored?

Error when trying to save/apply in OAM Console (credential store / wallet)

So our Admin WLS had accidentally been started as root previously, so we restarted as oracle (after chown -R oracle:oinstall all files), and the Admin Server starts up ok. However, when attempting to save/apply a change within the OAM console, we receive the following error:
Error in creating the credential store (wallet) : JPS-01047: Cannot persist the wallet. Reason java.io.IOException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/pki_data1951273487.lck.tmp (Permission denied).
And in the log files this also appears:
<Mar 29, 2013 2:27:01 PM CDT> <Warning> <oracle.jps.idmgmt> <JPS-01520> <Cannot initialize identity store.>
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: oracle.security.jps.service.idstore.IdentityStoreException: JP-01520: Cannot initialize identity store.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.

Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.
prev suggestion was to remove file: com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist.
still not working and I Am running;
OS X version 10.9.1

I had the same issue, as suggested by others on similar question I checked my permissions and they were fine.
This worked for me
1) First saved the photos from my current Photo Booth library
2) Deleted the photo booth library folder
3) Created a new admin user
4) Copy the photo booth library from the new user and paste it in your user (where the previous photo booth library was)
5) You can then delete the new user you created.
*this is my first attempt here, so my bad if its not up to scratch*

How do I fix this? Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.
