Error code 50 when copying from TC to external HDD

Hi all, I bought a 3tb TC and backed up about 1.3tb worth of data onto it from an external HDD, I then formatted the external HDD to FAT 32 as I found out that TC does not like to work with FAT 32, no matter, the hard drive ois fixed now. However, when I go to copy all the data back onto the external HDD. i get "an unnexcpected error occured error code -50" or something like that, but the error code is definetly 50. I got this error when trying to copy the movies through, they are MKV files, I checked all the names and I dont think there are any problems with them.
the setup so far is as follows. Externall HDD --USB--> Time capsule. All operations are being executed through an imac.
HELP ASAP will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Error codes are really hard to figure out.. but i think it will be due to permissions.
See http://pondini.org/TM/C10.html
It is an error from TM but I think it comes from underlying OS..
Can you copy files to this disk from a source other than the TC.. try copying a file from the TC to the Mac and then from Mac to the external disk.. but make sure it is plugged directly into the mac.. if you have issues look carefully at permission. And format/partition type.. do use GUID partition not MBR Or the older Apple systems.

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file, any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
When can I expect a solution?

Of course not.
But thank you anyway, I talked to my admin and we changed the whole company to Foxit.
It can be that easy.

PLEASE HELP!!! Error -36 when copying from powerbook to iMac/Lacie HD

I'm working on a film and have captured to my powerbook G4 in FCP. I am now trying to transfer my scratch disk to either my iMac (intel 2.4GHz) or my Lacie HD extreme 500 GB / Lacie 250 GB.
When I drag the folder over, it starts copying and then at some point (normally about half way through) it says:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in shot 9 could not be read or written (error cose -36)"
It does this for a number of different files in the folder. I have tried copying them one by one, and a few will copy then I'll get to a file and the same error will occur. The files on the powerbook are intact and open and play as expected. I have tried using my powerbook in TD mode with iMac and linking to both Lacie drives with FW400, FW800 and USB.
I haven't tried copying over my network yet but am reluctant to do this as firstly there is over 30GB of material and secondly I worry about the accuracy of a copy over wifi.
I recently had my logic board replaced on powerbook and have done an erase and install of OSX Leopard and am running 10.5.6 on both machines.
I found very little on these boards about error 36 and so would massively appreciate any help on this - this is my first really important scary project and I have a looming deadline!!!
Cheers

Joey,
A -36 error is an I/O error. My first though would be a bad cable, but you have apparently tried several of these, over several different busses (the buss could also be a culprit). That leaves a potential disk error.
OK, so you captured this footage on the Powerbook. You did this post-format/reinstall, right? You captured this to the Powerbook's internal drive, right? DV footage (or worse, HD footage) uses huge amounts of disk space. How much? How close to completely full is this internal hard drive? If you allowed the available space to approach zero, especially when running something like FCP, this may have caused the disk error.
Assuming you still have some space left on the Powerbook's internal drive, are you able to make an internal copy of one of these "troublesome" files using just the Powerbook in isolation? If not, and where you cannot, you have a corrupted file. Corrupted by a disk error. Yes, you may be able to access them just fine, and they may actually play within FCP, but they are incomplete in some way; they are missing some bytes, Kbytes, or Mbytes. If you find this to be the case, you might consider that you need to re-capture.
If they can be copied internally, there is probably something else going on here. If they can be copied internally, you should be able to copy them to some external media.

HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One getting Copy error message when copying from front panel.

I get this message when I try to copy from the front panel: Incorrect paper size. Load different media or change copy paper size settings. It does not matter what I am trying to copy. I have checked the paper size and media and they are set on what I want -- Letter size and plain paper. It started after I cleared a paper jam from the back of the copier. Hope someone can help me. Thanks Klb

I am also having the exact same problem. I tried resetting it back to default settings (power on, unplug power cord, hold the # and 3 buttons while plugging back up). However, this has not helped. So far the only solution I saw is to upgrade to another printer, but copying seems to be such a simple function for this problem to be so hard so solve. Unfortunately, I've seen no other answers, so upgrading may be my only option even though I have no other problems :-(

Copy error -36 when copying from Time Machine disk to Mac

Since using OS X 10.6.(.6), I can't copy certain files from my Time Machine disk to the Mactintosh hard disk without getting a copy error -36. The error doesn't occur with all files: for example pdf files will copy without problems, but Filemaker Pro files and iCal files don't. May be it's important to mention that when I retrieve files from the Time Machine disk, I have to mount the "sparse bundle" with my user files first and then drag the files to the desktop or an other place. This is because I'm running File Vault. If I try to retrieve files that were backed up under OS X 10.5, I get no copying errors at all. So it looks as if Snow Leopard has something to do with it. Is there anybody who has seen this problem before and knows how to solve it?

Ok, I finally was able to complete the Disk Utility Repair, and it says everything is ok. Still the problem in restoring presists.
One thing I noticed is that most files that Time Machine restore chokes on have an added set of permissions added to the file or folder with the same user name as mine, and the permissions level says "Custom". Thus it has 2 sets of permissions defined with the same user name, one with Read/Write and another with the same name that says "Custom." Am I explaining this well? Maybe this is a clue?

You should use Disk Utility to verify both the source and destination disks. Post the error messages here if you see any.
How is the LaCie formatted? It really should be Mac OS Extended. FAT formatted disks have file size limitations which can cause all kind of problems.

Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
"Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
Is your media card formatted?
If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
Let me know how you make out
Thanks!

Error-code when launching Time Machine from MacBook Pro

I´ve get this error-code when launching Time Machine: An unaspected error has acourd (errorcode -6584)
Solution on this?

Sounds like OSX has lost track of where it is. Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, try repairing your backups, per #A5 there.

I am getting a "-50" error code when I try to sync. Help please.

What do I do to correct a "-50" error code when I try to sync?

Hi there patsea,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

Has anyone had this happen to them.
I am new to the support community.
Thanks

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.

Does OS X corrupt files when copying from SD card to desktop?

Using finder to copy a folder and its files from SD card to mac desktop seems to cause *some* files to be corrupted, specifically a handful of MP4 files from a FAT32 SD card which was used in a digital camera. Using a binary/hex comparison tool reveals that some segments of the files contents were modified when copied from the SD card.
This error occurs when copying multiple files using Finder windows. However, when copying the same files one at a time, the corruption does not occur. This appears to be an OS level bug. In reviewing past content, I found that dozens of MP4 files have been corrupted in the past 4 months by merely copying the files from the SD card to mac desktop using Finder copy/paste.
I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3

Well, like I said, the byte size in fact did *not* change. So I'm not even concerned about that. What *did* change is the content of those bytes and it doesn't matter what operating system you are using, the content of those bytes is *not* supposed to change.
Also, like I said before, if I copy the individual file (MP4) insead of the entire folder, and then do the binary/hex comparison, the byte data is identical. i.e.
a) copying one file at a time produces an *identical* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count AND the byte content are precisely the same.
b) copying a folder with multiple files produces a *different* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count is the same BUT the byte content differs from the original file.

Did you try to install before without removing anything that did get installed from your applications folder before trying again? You don't have the installer files in the applications folder, do you?

Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.
