• Photoshop Scratch Disk Error OSX Lion 10.7.3

  I got Photoshop CS5 installed on my system for over a year, and it worked fine all this time under Snow Leopard. Now that I've updated for Lion, Photoshop does not open because of these messages:

  Cannot open a file because the disk is not available.

  Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available.

  The disk in question is a 80 GB of a 1 TB internal hard drive partition. If I delete the preferences file (pressing cmd-shift-opt when PS is started) then it starts very well. If I go into preferences and reset to use the scratch disk, then next time I try to open the program I get the same 2 error messages and I have to give up the preferences again.

  There is nothing wrong with the disks, I checked the. And anyway, I use this drive work with Photoshop for the last year with no problems. It was only after I switched to Lion that he began to arrive.

  I need to take advantage of the increase in performance that offers a scratch disk. Anyone have any ideas on what is happening or how to fix this?

  Chris,

  Thank you for responding. I think you're onto something. I looked in the disk utility to see if I could fix the permissions on the volume to zero, as suggested Lundberg, however the option to do so was intoxicated because of this message: ' not available because the selected disc is set on ignore permissions. So I went to the score, shot to the top of the box to get the information and saw that the "Ignore ownership on this Volume" checkbox is unchecked . I checked to see what would happen, and that is always dimmed in disk utility to repair permissions, now Photoshop starts perfectly, even with the scratch partition defined as Photoshop Scratch drive problem.

  It's the wrong way to do the correct answer?

  Regarding your other suggestions, I was able to go on record to reach the record partnership, and I saw that he said I could read only. I could add my user account and give him permission to read/write through the dialog box get information (I'm afraid Terminal unless I have clear instructions). I want? I also looked in the /volumes folder and there is apparently nothing that it contains, unless folders are hidden I guess. I checked the permissions of my primary drive (boot drive, on which all my applications reside) and they claim that I have read/write privileges. However I'm just viewing it in the box to read the information. is not the right place to see/change? Because all this time the partition scratch claimed also that I have read/write permissions and who was obviously not true, as alone, he started to work right after I checked "ignore ownership on this Volume". But it is incredibly confusing because I was able to Save files on the Photoshop scratch disk. I couldn't just pick as a scratch disk.

  The question is: is it ok that I simply chose to ignore permissions on these discs and I messed with the partnership, file, or should I do something else?

• Implementation work at startup disk error. How can I fix this?

  At the start of this project, I get a window that says: Scratch disk error.  The "scratch disks" is write protected or unavailable.  To open this project, the "scratch disks" will be set to your Documents folder.  Do you want to continue?  Q: How can I do this project to remember where it is "scratch disks" are, and they are not write protected or unavailable?  How could it happen?

  Hi Colin,

  Just a quick follow-up this question first.

  The problem was that a draft drawn would not find

  the stripes of the drives on startup, then I changed "scratch disks" in the right

  location, saved the project. Always after reboot, wouldn't find them.

  In addition, would not make anything in the timeline panel. Has given an error message

  about could not compile video.  Very frustrating.

  But thanks to a good friend and google, found the yet amazing right

  response.  I had a project named lets say; My 05/06/15 project.

  Removed the slashes. Saved the project named: my project 6515.

  That's all!  I guess it was looking for a player with this string path of

  characters that have the forward slashes on her.  Should have better

  put ANY punctuation sign in a sequence or project name.

  Who has solved both problems.  Thank you for your comments.

• "Scratch disk is full" error even if we can't?

  Hello world

  Quite desperate for help that I have a looming deadline for a project.

  When trying to crop in photoshop, I get an error "Could not complete your request because the"scratch disks"is full". It is on a new machine and nothing similar happened to me before. After display of the drive working in photoshop options, this is my C drive which is my OS SSD and has 114 GB of space.

  This could be the cause? I'm confused.

  Many many thanks to anyone who can help!

  Maybe wrong dimensions specified while monoculture; like the inches instead of pixels. Check to see if this could be what that past...

• New installation, error: failed to create the Scratch disk: disk error

  Location: Windows 7, had everything works fine. Added the SSD and installed system from scratch on the SSD. Old drive now is my second drive.

  Try to work on the second (old) drive drive to reduce wear to the SSD. But whenever I do, I get disk error message and it erases all my settings (so boring!)

  I think it's a permissions thing since I had to deal with this already to a certain extent, but I don't know how to solve this problem, because I do not know where adobe tries to save the file. Any tips or ideas?

  RESOLVED: I mess with permissions, but I think that what he did was following some advice I found elsewhere related to problems of registry Illustrator. I did the settings to change, then I found Photoshop in the start menu and right click > run as administrator. That seems to have done the trick.

• Once again... "" "scratch disks is write protected...". ' error message? -Mac

  Recently I found this error message appear again, different from that of a previous post. "The"scratch disks"is write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the "scratch disks" will be set to your Documents folder. Do you want to continue? »

  On our portable system Edition (Mac 10.6.8 CS 5.5) on some occasions when I plug a firewire drive, PP open, create a new project, I get the above message. When I click "Yes" to continue and open the Panel of projects all the disks scratch that I put for the disc show just that I had chosen them, not the documents folder. What gives? PP is looking for old projects, I created on different portable players, even if I'm not trying to open them (and they are not connected)? Seems strange.

  Oops, I didn't read your initial post correctly.  The Scratch disk settings are stored in the preferences, and so if you do not have the last drive connected that you set as your Scratch disk when you exit the last, then you will get this message.

  There is nothing wrong with that: your last drive selected is not available.  You see a message similar to the PCF, when you changed the external drives, or took the last than the one you used offline.

  The 'write protected' part of the message refers to the situation caused by the permissions mentioned in my first answer.

  I never chose to scratch disks (I don't capture Ribbon.), so I've never seen this message myself.

• scratch disk

  I treat the full error message to drive work. Because I can't open the items, I can't have preferences. When I call the reader at the start dialog box, he says he uses the 'boot' drive I don't know what it is. I tried to change it to 'C', but it is up to the start. What should do?

  Read this post on a similar question:

  "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full."

  The shortcut to open items is in the second post:

  «Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt keys and simultaneously click the button Edit in the Welcome screen.» The three keys to unlock and look behind the screen of welcome to close. (Or press the keys while double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe or the icon on the desktop for the editor, if you have a.) »

  I think the "Startup disk" means the C: drive.

  More information can help: which version of elements, what kind of drive C:, this title, how did you get your drive working (maybe a screenshot)?

• PhotoShop won't boot because "scratch disk is full."

  When I try to open PhotoShop 7, I have an error message-"unable to initialize PhotoShop because scratch disks are full."  Troubleshooting messages suggest the defragmentation and disk cleanup - I have these regularly perform a certain amount of time per week - but this doesn't seem to help.  I run Windows Vista with 4xRAM and 2 TB of HDD.  Any thoughts?

  If Photoshop won't let you put C or D or both as drive work there may be something wrong with you OS configuration.  Photoshop only allow you to configure the mountable devices as 128GB SD cards don't not assigned as working space of devices from local drive as workspace and will not display even as an option.  If C and D are optional, you should be able to erect in Photoshop "scratch disks".  Photoshop supports up to four "scratch disks".  I have only 3 local devices that can be used as workspace.  Normally, I do not have E: assigned as a work for its disk drive external 4 TB usb3.  But I can assign my all of my local disk for Photoshop zero disk space my brackets mounted cannot be used for the workspace...

  

• could not open a file because of a disk error

  Photoshop CS6 to open...
  
  

  What am I supposed to do with it?

  Help!

  Juan

  Well, let me start by being worried that you have a problem on your system, if an application reports a disk error.

  But beyond that, if you want to reset this drive Photoshop uses to scratch, hold down the control and Alt (keys command and Option on Mac) immediately after the cold Photoshop start.  If you are fast enough to get the keys down, Photoshop invites you to choose a zero set (s).

• "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full."

  "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full." This is the error message that appears when I try to open my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. I just installed this program on my new HP Pavilion model h8-1214, which has 1.8 TB of space with 10.0 GB of RAM. I have read the forums on this problem, but they say how to solve the problem through Photoshop. How can I fix the scratch disk settings without being able to open Photoshop? Please help me with this problem of the Adobe Support team will not even answer my question...

  Thank you.

  By far the simplest solution is to upgrade to photoshop elements 10 or newer, which has no problem with big hard drives and has some new features you may like.

  It is available for a 30 day trial.

  In fact the pse versions 3 and later versions have no problem with large hard drives.

  Here are some things you can try that might work:

  Option 1: Just after the double click on the PES shortened 2 press the Ctrl + Alt keys and press and hold keys until you get the scratch disk Preferences dialog box

  then choose your recovery as the first partition. This only works if you have a recovery partition or another hard drive smaller installed that you can use as the scratch disk.

  (I don't have a partition recovery on this computer)

  

  Option 2. Retractable (shrink volume) present HDD up to 1 TB

  Option 3: If you have windows 7 pro or ultimate, you can use virtual xp (download from microsoft)

• PS7 and Scratch disk full, using XP SP3 with 1 HD... How to fix?

  I searched the forum, still couldn't find an answer or difficulty...  I installed my old PS7 on my new computer running XP with SP3 on an Intel Dual-Core, 1. 5 t HD (single player), 3 GB of RAM - not enough money for the PS, the computer upgrade took first dibs...  PS7 refuses to open - aprΦs the dΘmarrage, comes up with an error pop up indicating the Scratch disk is full and then stops.

  My old system (W-2000, only HD 20 GB, with 1.8 processor Pentium, 1 GB of RAM) worked perfectly with PS7 - never had any problems...

  I tried all the possible corrections...  HD is not even close to fragmented as it is a new drive; not quite yet installed programs, or use on computer, disk cleaning required; forced creation of the preferences (name changed to .old) file; and did the ctrl-alt-shift to start by default.  No idea what's happening, or why would he say the drive to complete work.

  The partition is too large n thrown out of the logic of internal swap file, most likely. Obviously, at the time when PS7 was hot, 1.5 TB drives were not around...

• My iPod nano 2nd generation gets disk errors after installing iTunes?

  I use my iPod nano 2nd generation for... Wow little almost 10 years now and of course is not as sensitive, a little laggy sometimes, battery life isn't as good but still never had real problems with it that can be repaired by a reset. Well not until now and I have not really money to spend to get a new, in particular the fact that practically it still works fine on his own, just that I can not add or remove pieces of her more.

  The problem

  It seems that the computer has trouble reading the device. Whenever I plug my iPod nano 2nd generation USB in my laptop (Windows 10), which has some sort of interaction with it freezes. For the moment I plug in, programs such as Winamp, iTunes, File Explorer (if I click my computer-> try to right click on the drive, that says all F: drive instead of the usual name recognized as "My iPod."), the Device Manager when I try to turn Apple iPod USB Driver and the small icon in the system tray when you try to eject the drop-down list no longer appears, all these programs themselves just freeze and unresponsive until I unplug the device. In Event Viewer, the moment where I plug it, it gets spammed by looping errors to:

  Error: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR21, has a bad block.

  ATTENTION: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR21 during a paging operation.

  So, basically, it seems that the computer is blocked just not try to read and recognize the device, which means that I can't really do anything with it. The iPod itself seems to work fine, I can hear songs, recharge the battery and other things, earlier I can't add or remove pieces of her.

  Stuff leading up to it

  A year or two before, I used to manage the ipod via itunes (a relatively old version of time too I guess since I almost never update) until I formatted my laptop some time ago and never bored computer reinstall itunes. Since then, I really didn't need to change anything to my iPod and just use Winamp (my default music player) to the add/remove songs when I needed to. Today, I decided to install iTunes because there are some things that winamp cannot do as add embedded lyrics and also winamp blurs the sorted list of the song. Since then, after you have installed the new iTunes, start freezing and program I get the problems described above. There might be a chance that iTunes was not the real culprit and the disc was already beginning to get corrupted or something somehow, but I can't think of anything that's happened before this problem started.

  I tried many things

  • Uninstalled iTunes and all the other stuff related to the installation as pie, Apple Mobile Device Support... .etc
  • Reinstall the device driver USB Apple iPod. When I turn it off (Plug in iPod-> iPod poster 'do not disconnect'-->--> Device Manager driver right click-> disable-> Device Manager freezes up-> unplug ipod-> Device Manager-> thaws plug ipod in) ipod becomes simply the State of charge. Steps to reinstall is the same (need to plug and unplug).
  • Reset iPod in now the Center button + menu button.
  • Will then resetting operation rewind + Centre button iPod diagnostic mode. It is not a test disc hard because I guess nano doesn't have a disc hard just flash ram. Anyway, when I select SDRAM QScan he only says: "SDRAM OK." NAND_SPEC gives "NandLBA = 1982464". Flash gives Checksum "Checksum is 0x26AF".
  • Wanted to try as described here to check for disk errors, but cannot because the computer cannot correctly recognize and explore freezes if I right click. I tried using 'chkdsk f:' in the command prompt, but that seems to hang as well.
  • Switches mode disc reset ipod then now Center + play button. Then connect the laptop... etc, same problem.

  It's a pretty old device, so it seems that support because it is very rare. I didn't install iTunes could screw up the device that it is intended to support and do anything as permanent as this one.

  You must exclude a faulty USB, cable anchorage, try another, or using your power with another Apple device cable, to confirm that it works correctly.

  Otherwise, your troubleshooting seems complete.  If that's what you've done for disc Mode

  How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

  and connection to your computer causes this issue General 'freeze' with multiple processes, the iPod has possibly a hardware problem.  Flash storage eventually.  Or it can be a problem on the logic board of the iPod.

  I suggest try to reformat the iPod using Windows, as if it were a USB flash drive.  But you can only do if the system hangs when you connect iPod.

  NOTE: If you find a way to reformat iPod using Windows, use FAT32 as the disc format.  If there is an option to do a quick format, do a full format instead.  Once the process is complete, the iPod is totally blank.  You do restore using iTunes (if you are prompted or not), to the embedded iPod software.

• MacBook Air wouldn't startup after starting get disk error

  I was getting full boot disk error on my Macbook Air 2012 model a few times, and then it stopped starting (folder flashing with question mark began to appear). I followed the instructions on this site If flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support

  but failed to copy data from the drive on an external hard disk. I could see my boot (MacintoshHD) on the disc utilities drive, but could the volume seems to be not mounted.  The size of the disk is 128 GB and only 12 MB seems to be free.

  1 has started the macbook in recovery mode. In disk utility, run check disk and repair utilities disk for the startup disk (MacintoshHD). No problems in the generated logs. The volume is not mounted and is dimmed.

  2 selected MacintoshHD and tried to unlock it. The system tried for a while, and the password window disappeared after some time with the MacintoshHD via disk utility.  When I restart the machine again in recovery, disk MacintoshHD reappears in the same situation.

  3. I was able to start the macbook after installing a new version of OS X in an external hard drive. During the installation of OS X, I couldn't copy the data from the volume MacintoshHD (possibly the drive is locked).

  4. I could not start my macbook in safe mode.

  My query is-

  1. I had not backed up my data by any means. What are my current options to copy my data MacintoshHD?

  2. because the MacintoshHD is locked and attempts to unlock it had no disk utility, it will help if I start my macbook target disk mode, connect to another mac via a thunderbolt cable and try to copy data?

  3. What are my options now to restore my macbook? Clear my boot drive (MacintoshHD) and reinstall OS X?

  Thank you
