Could not save because of a disk error (-1).

Community Beginner ,
Nov 02, 2023 Nov 02, 2023

I did a lot of retouching work and suddenly couldn't save my file. When I save it, I get an error

"Could not save because of a disk error (-1)."

Now I can't close Photoshop without losing the work I've done. Please help me to solve the problem.


There is no choice of where to save the files, the error message appears immediately. Adobe has full disk access in the settings. The RAW files I'm working with are on an external disk. I have been working from it all day and have been saving files without any problems. The external ssd drive and the system disk have a lot of free space.

I tried to open files from the system drive in Photoshop - still the same - nothing is saved. Also tried creating and saving a file in photoshop. No kind of files can be saved.

I have macOS Monterey 12.3, M1, Photoshop was updated 3 days ago.

Don't know is this still actual, but will probably help new people. I fixed this problem this way:
> Open Activity Monitor
> Search for "Open and Save Panel Service (Adobe Photoshop 20xx)"
> Choose Force Quit - it will restart the "open/save" function

Just search "adobe" and you will find this service in activity monitor

None of your solutions works for me.

 

When I try to save any file to the disk, the same error that has been reported in this post arised to me. And It's impossible to save it.

 

The error is related also with the Finder.

 

This is a big problem, because we're paying a program that doesn't work.

The following a solution for me since nothing here provided a solution. Updated yesterday to Sequoia 15.3.2 and today began have the dreaded disk error. Check my drive capacity and tried everything here to no avail. I also noticed I was seeing 100% CPU usage in Activity Monitor for fileproviderd. I eventually found the following which worked for me. FYI, I had two folders in /FileProvider/ as described below and needed to remove the files noted below from both folders. 

------------------

Source: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/474017/unbearably-slow-icloud-sync-serious-problem-filepro...

fileproviderd maintains an SQLite database at this location:

~/Library/Application Support/FileProvider/*/database
where * is a long hexadecimal string (a unique identifier, or UUID). There may be more than one such folder with different UUID's; in that case, you should repeat these steps for each one.

Inside the database folder are files named db, db-shm, and db-wal. The first one contains the actual database, and the others are caches.

Step 1

Delete db-shm and db-wal. Force-quit fileproviderd in Activity Monitor or in the shell. It should restart immediately. The cache files you deleted will be recreated, perhaps after a delay. Test. If there's no improvement, continue.

Step 2

Disable iCloud Drive and all third-party cloud file-sync services, if any. Delete db, restart fileproviderd, and then re-enable iCloud Drive. The database will be rebuilt from scratch.

---------------------------

Hope this helps you if you are having the same issue. Good Luck!
