Won't Export to Desktop

Is anyone else having trouble exporting pictures from '09 onto the desktop or into a folder?
The error I get is after I click the final export button after choosing the options. The dialog box opens up that usually has the blue progress bar, but the text says
EXPORTING...
unable to create <path>
Any help?

This error message appears in every version of iPhoto.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
Regards

  • My lightroom 5.5 trial won't export jpegs

    I wonder if anyone is having the same problem I'm experiencing. I'm trying to export photos to a desktop folder as jpegs in readiness for a trip to the printers but LR won't export. It says that it can't find the folder even though it exists. Is it me? How do I do it without having to burn straight to DVD?
    This is the message I get. I have tried getting LR to place the image in a subfolder and that gets the same error message. Any ideas?

    That's wonderful and worked a treat... thank you so much. It was driving me crazy. Do you happen to know why some of the photos have a 'greyed-out' export option against them? The 'burn full sized JPEGs' is there as is 'export as DNG' and the 'hard drive email' option but the plain Export option isn't available. Any ideas on that. Everything else seems to be working perfectly. Thank you for the help so far. It was very much appreciated

  • Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

    Hi all
    Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
    Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
    I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
    Cheers,

    Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
    Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

  • OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

    Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
    5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
    OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
    Final cut 6.0.6
    Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

    Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
    Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
    You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

  • New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

    HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

    +Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
    More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
    If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
    Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

  • FCP won't export M2V

    I am running FCP Studio and trying to export an m2v. I recently upgraded my G5 and basically put my old hard drives right into the new G5 box. Since I did that, FCP asked for a serial number again, and I entered it. OK. Now I am trying to export the Mpeg2 and it says it can't export until DVD studio Pro is serialized - but then I run DVD studio pro and it IS serialized and registered. Restart did not fix it. FCP just can't seem to tell that DVD studio pro is already serialized and won't export. Should I trash my preferences? FCP or DVD studio pro or both? Any suggestions?

    FYI....
    Trying to uninstall DVD Pro and then re-installing it will not work! I ran through this problem when I upgraded to FCP Studio. The issue lies between DVD Pro and QT7, it is a bug that apple is currently trying to resolve.
    I spent numerous hours on the phone with apple to get this issue resolved. The best work around at the moment is going through Compressor and making a M2V. Compressor will retain your chapter markers from FCP no worries.
    The only issue is time, it takes longer using compressor but the quality is 100x better because you have more control of the VBP.
    Good Luck

  • Cropped song settings won't export to slideshow

    For some reason, my start/stop time settings for individual songs in itunes won't export to an iphoto slideshow. Is there another way to do this?

    David,
    Your right. Changes made to the stop and start time of songs in iTunes don't seem to have any effect in iPhoto.
    I suppose one work around would be to first burn the music for your slide show to a music CD and then reimport the tracks.
    You could also use iMovie, GarageBand or a third party app like Sound Studio to actually edit the tracks (probably best to edit copies of the tracks) and then reimport the edited tracks back into iTunes.
    Kind of a hassle. I'll continue to think a bout a more elegant solution.

  • Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on.

    Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on. This severely strains my workflow and makes it incredibly hard to add the image after it is exported to the desktop Illustrator. Is this being fixed??

    This is a new bug in our latest release, and we apologize for not catching it before it went out. We are putting together a patch to address the issue. The only workaround at this point is to delete the photo and then send to Illustrator again.
    Thank you,

  • One font won't export

    Hi, all. Sorry if this is basic--I'm just a simple artist-designer, and am less skilled at software management and presets.
    I just reinstalled my ID CS4 on a new-to-me machine running OSx Mountain Lion. For an unknown reason, the software now won't export the Helvetica Neue Regular font (all other fonts in the typeface are FINE.) 'Regular' exports as lines of boxes. HNeue has been my go-to for many years, and I'd rather not reformat all of my old stuff. Thoughts?
    HNeue Regular shows up in fontbook, and I already tried 'restore system fonts.' Also set "Subset all Fonts" to 0%. I have no idea what this means, but the internet told me to do it.
    Thanks for your ideas. This is really messing me up.
    Emily

    Saw this post and thought it can be easily fixed but I haven't worked on a Mac for about 10 years. I'm sure there's someone that can help.
    The only thing I would suggest trying is disabling it in your Font Management and copying the font to your system Fonts folder.

  • Sequence won't export in quicktime movie

    I have Final Cut Express and for some reason a sequence won't export into a Quicktime movie, but a Final Cut Express movie file.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Thanks
    Barry

    Thank you both for the input.
    I didn't realize this. This was the first time the file I exported didn't have the Quicktime icon, or named a Quicktime File.
    Does this type of file still work on Internet sites like Facebook?
    Much appreciated.

  • Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

    Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

    Try Single User mode (Command+S while starting up).
    Then, run fsck.
    At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

  • IPhoto '08 won't export pics

    iPhoto '08 won't export any files. I've tried jpegs and tiffs and iPhoto 08 just hangs during export - I've had to "force quit" it - any ideas? I've tried exporting just one pic and let it run for close to 5 minutes before giving up.

    ggrosh
    Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that doesn't work try trash the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder.
