How do I get rid of "error saving media attachment"?
-
When I try to upload media I am getting “error saving media attachment.” I have removed the last item uploaded, removed upload from the post, and cleared my browser cache and removed all cookies. Still getting the same message when I click “upload.”
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Specifically, what type of file are you trying to upload, and what is the file extension (.jpg, .mp3, for example)?
-
It’s a simple jpg file, a photo I took and and exported from iPhoto to documents on my Mac. I just rechecked, and the error is still there the minute I click upload on the media library. I can’t seem to upload anything.

Ok, let’s try some quick browser troubleshooting just to rule that out, since I’m not able to duplicate the problem.
First, please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting http://whatbrowser.org/
If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser.
If it is, please do these four things:
1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/
3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.
4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble.

I am using Forefox 19.0.2
1. Gone through this twice.
2.Apparently automatic on Firefox
3. I am not aware of any browser extensions since two days ago when it was working fine.
4. I finally got it after figuring out that the “Users” referred to the side of the dashboard and managed to enable HTTPS. Still don’t know why it suddenly stopped working after two years of successful uploads. -
Extensions update themselves automatically, so recently updated extension could still be the problem.
Would you please try with all extensions temporarily disabled?

I don’t know how to disable attachments, but it seems to be working now. Uploaded 4 photos last night.

Excellent, that’s good hear! :)
If you ever need to disable Firefox’s extensions, you can do that from the Tools -> Add-ons menu.
