I posted this on the MAMP forum. But responses come slow there if at all.
I am running Joomla 3.2 and trying to install Allvideos plugin to run with K2.
This is what happens:
Warning
Warning: Failed to move file!

There are two possibilities
1. either you don't have big enough upload limit configured in your php.ini
2. or you have permission issues
This is an example how to increase upload_limit in MAMP Pro
www.phpmysql.net/2011/01/01/php-file-upl...e-files-in-mamp-pro/
For permission issues check...
i) Site > system information > directory permissions - are all GREEN (except config.php which should be red)
ii) Check folders are 755, files 644 and that owner/group are correct using an FTP client
iii) Specifically check cache folder and css-compiled folder
iv) Check that you are NOT using an apache handler for your hosting and that instead you are using FastCGI/cgi. If you are you need to correct this in cPanel or Plesk or ask your host to change this. Then you'll have to start again afresh.
v) Use the Joomla Forum Post Assistant to do detailed checks http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860 - Check my services at: Mihha-Vision

- One more thing that might be worth checking is that live_site, /tmp and so on have the right paths in configuration.php.
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

The live_site tmp is set to what seems to be the correct path: applications/MAMP/htdocs/tmp
when looking in Joomla, the permissions under -system information, directory permissions. They are all set to unwritable.
Do I make the permissions changes in the folders themselves, or through Joomla?
Thank You

- I guess this answers my question. Being that this site is running on localhost, I am imagining the changes need to be made through Finder. Would this be correct, and the easiest way to make these changes?
