 * For about 3 days now every time I try to upload a image I get a IO error.
    And
   next to the jpg I’m trying to upload reads; An error occurred in the upload. 
   Please try again later. Doesn’t seem to matter what image I upload or what size
   it is.
 * Would really appreciate any body shedding some light on why it happens and how
   to stop it.
 * Thanks
 * Duncan

 * I am experiencing the same problem. I installed WordPress 2.6.2 and everything
   worked fine for a couple days. The changes I made prior to the problem appearing
   were: install new theme (Esther) and setup URL Rewrites.
 * I have done the following since the problem appeared:
    - Checked my flash and browser version:
    -     ```
          Flash: MAC 9,0,124,0
          Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092414 Firefox/3.0.3.
          ```
      
    - Even though they are up to date I uninstalled and re-installed my flash just
      for kicks, and still no joy.
    - Tried clearing browser cache and that did nothing.
    - Remove URL Rewrites, upload still failed.
    - Tried a suggested fix to add a mod_security rule in the .htaccess file:
    -     ```
          <IfModule mod_security.c>
           <Files async-upload.php>
            SecFilterEngine Off
            SecFilterScanPOST Off
           </Files>
          </IfModule>
          ```
      
    -  and this did not work so I thought I would add the path to the file in the
      rule so it read /wp-admin/async_upload.php and still no change.
 * So I also would appreciate anyone’s help to clarify this problem, because the
   main reason I setup this blog was so my wife could use it post stuff about our
   family but she hates using it because of the bugs. Here is the site: [millermoments.net blog](http://millermoments.net/blog)

 * I have since spoken with my web hosting provider and they do not have mod_security
   installed because it is a shared environment. So if anyone has that module installed
   and is willing to try it, that might fix the problem. I am currently in the process
   of changing my hosting provider because they are a bit out dated. So we will 
   see how it goes.

 * So I finally fixed the flash io upload error for our blog. I turned off the forced
   https:// for the blog. I have been using a shared SSL Certificate and I am not
   sure yet if it was just the change in URL or the shared cert that was causing
   it. I hope that helps anyone else looking for help on this issue.
