Trouble uploading images in Wordpress

Usually, when I want to upload an image or two to Wordpress there are no issues -- they upload just fine.

But sometimes I get an error message: 'An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later'. And I try again later...and later..and later with the same problem. After awhile I don't know whether to abandon the image or just save my post as a draft and try the next day which I hate to do because when I'm at the 'add images' stage I'm on a roll!.

This happens fairly frequently with me ( on different themes too) and is damned aggravating!

Does this happen to anyone else or is it just my bad luck?

Edit: well, I just pressed 'save draft' and my post, with embedded video, dissappeared!

2nd edit: I got it back!
