iMac disk write issues I have a problem specifically with Photoshop Elements 12 Organiser and the ability to write to the internal drive on an iMac 5k with El Capitan.  I have full read write access to the files on the disk but when I try to write the metadata to the photos I get the error "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc.  The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media".
I also have other issues accessing and erasing from SD cards.
What happens if you save your Photoshop file to a different directory or hard disk?

What are the file Permissions?
Select your file in the Finder and go to File > Show Info > Permissions

It sounds like your file or folder permission are messed up. Also, Repair Disk Permissions (Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility):
