have you updated WordPress from wp-admin updates using update automatically button or by downloading manually?
I did an automatic update through my WordPress dashboard.
I’m having what seems to be the same problem. The two links above did not address the issue. I’ve not had this problem until the recent updates of WP.
Here’s the foll error generated from an attempt to add something to the media library:
“Fifteen-MinutesA.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2013/10.
The “10” folder has the same permissions (755) as all others.

Thanks for the links WPyogi, but that’s not the problem. Everything works okay except the fact that I can’t upload any media for my web site?
I’ve tried re installing WordPress 3.7 but this doesn’t help, I’m stuck! I’ll keep checking the forum.
Lane, that’s the same error message I get, most annoying 🙂 If I manage to fix it I’ll let you know the cure.
All the best,
Colin.
OK, the problem is solved for me. I generally assume that any problem is my fault, and I’m usually correct. But not this time. The site in question is hosted on a server not under my control. I finally emailed the tech in charge, and he came back with:
Hi Lane — sorry! That’s my fault. A couple of our hosted sites were hacked on Monday and yesterday I had to re-establish secure permissions for all of our hosted accounts.
I completely forgot about WP uploads folders needing less secure permissions. I’ve just now changed permissions (to 775 instead of 755, if you’re familiar with the settings) on the WP ‘uploads’ directory on your site
I thought 755 was good enough, but changing it to 775 fixed my media upload problem.

Thanks for that Lane, I’ll get on to my hosting company to check if that’s the same problem for me.
Here’s hoping.
Cheers,
Colin.
All sorted, my hosting company fixed it, but I don’t know what caused it.
Just hope the plugs are as compatible with the later WordPress, as they claim!
Thanks for your help Lane.
Cheers,
Colin.
