When pressing I, I now receive:
keying set failed to insert any keyframes.
No idea why pressing I doesn't work anymore. What did I do wrong? (I've upgraded from 2.71 to 2.72 and it stops working).

$\begingroup$ It sounds like you have a keying set active. What happens if you delete it or disable it in the header of the timeline? $\endgroup$– gandalf3Commented Oct 7, 2014 at 19:56

$\begingroup$ still the same. I've seen that the Scene property has a Keying Sets active when I select my camera. As a beginner I have actually no clue how this is enabled after upgrading to 2.72 and what it actually does. héh. $\endgroup$– juFoCommented Oct 7, 2014 at 20:00

See screenshot: The solution was to remove the keying set at the bottom and when selecting the camera, to remove the 2 keying sets that were there.
I however have no idea how this was enabled, and at this point of time I also don't know the goal of this keying.
After removal, the I key worked again.

You may have locked the editablity of the keyframes for the channel. This means that the little lock icon next to LocRot in the graph editor was pressed. Atleast this is how I've resolved the issue on my laptop :)

1$\begingroup$ could you please post a screenshot, indicating the area where to look for the properties mentioned? It will be hard for new or transition users to find it, as not all terms like 'LocRot' or 'graph editor' are known to everybody $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 18, 2017 at 12:26

$\begingroup$ I found myself in this thread in 2018 so I felt it was worth mentioning. Above, User44922 describes the solution being in the, "graph editor". When I think he meant the Dope Sheet. $\endgroup$ Commented May 30, 2018 at 17:08

$\begingroup$ In Blender 2.7.9, I selected (in Pose Mode) Pose -> Animation -> Change Keying Set [Shift+Ctrl+Alt+I] - setting this to loc-rot-scale (which is what I needed). You should set the keying set to whatever your require (there are multiple choices). $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 29, 2020 at 23:30

If it's not the keying set, then it's likely in the prefs > Animation > Keyframes > Only Insert Needed, that should be OFF to force-keyframe all channels:
