  I see this topic floating around the forums, but I see no resolution for it. All of the images I had on my blog are now gone, and I’m unable to upload new ones. I receive this message:
  1 file could not be uploaded because an error occurred while uploading
  Please help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  re: adding images to posts and pages

  For accepted file types for uploading see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  Are you running a browser and version of it found at http://browsehappy.com? If not, upgrade.

  Have you tried dragging an image straight from your desktop or computer’s image folder and drop it directly into your post’s editor?

  If you prefer you can click on the Add Media button from the toolbar of your editor to upload an image to your post.

  See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/

  For uploading images into posts and pages see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/

  For using the new editor for this see the instructions Staff ie. supernovia provided here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/images-arent-clickable-any-more?replies=15#post-2530659

  For image editing see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-editing/

  If you are not successful please provide this specific info:
  (a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
  (b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://supportdetails.com/
  (c) Exactly what you experience including exactly what any error reports you receive state.
  (d) Screenshots can be helpful. You can use http://snag.gy/ or http://cloudup.com to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.
