No, really… please tell us more… Do you have enough disk space? Are you trying to save to a remote server? What else has happened that might have led up to this?
I’ve been working for hours on a magazine ad and I have to submit it today, but every time I try to save it says "Couldn’t save *** due to a disk error". I’ve tried Save, Save As…, taking a snapshot from the history and saving that, but it just won’t work
I’m on a PowerBook 15" 1.5GHz 1.25GB RAM, running 10.3.4 and Photoshop CS
Do you by any chance have any non-UNIX character(s) in the name of anything in the path (file, folder, drive)? Something like «El disco de Láutaro» would do it. 🙂 If so, stick to using only numbers and the letters of the English alphabet.
A disk error also means that you should check the integrity of your hard drive. It could be a formatting issue, a directory structure issue, a permissions issue, or the drive or its connections could be flaky.
Just so I understand…you will work for hours and do not ANY saves?
If the work is important, I develop a Command-S twitch with my left hand. I could be saving every few minutes — or even after a few seconds when it makes sense. And then I do a Save as… to another drive — just in case. I mean, what happens if your area loses power? Or you spill coffee on the keyboard? Or the battery dies? Or the cat pulls out the plug?
RULE OF THUMB NO. 1: Never let any job go unsaved for any period longer than you care to spend redoing it.
