 * You probably don’t have write access to that folder on the host machine. Log 
   into the FTP and go to the wordpress/wp-content directory and check if you have
   write access enabled.
 * Also, some hosts don’t let you upload certain file types. Does it work with images
   but not movies?

 * Hi-
    I’m having the same issue.
 * The permissions are set to 775.
 * The 2 red alerts I get are http error &
    An error occurred in the upload. Please
   try again later.
 * This happens from different computers as well as IP addresses. It is a new blog
   and we have not yet tried to upload to the media library previously. I am sure
   that I can upload pngs & ppts to the server, as I am the server admin.
 * Please help.
    Annie

 * Thanks Kristopher, you were right. Now it uploads BUT all the images are not 
   visualized and have the “broken file” icon.
 * I checked in the wp-content folder and noticed it created 3 different files in
   3 different sizes for each image I uploaded, and they look alright but are not
   visualized in the post!
 * thanks
