I see people asking about Error Code - 36, but no helpful answers.

Just started yesterday while trying to copy files from hard drive to thumb drive. Repeated Error Code - 36. Happened a lot but no to every file I tried to copy. Started again today when I tried to copy from my Drop Box to a thumb drive. Macbook Pro is a year and a half old - don't tell me it's toast!

If it's the same thumb drive it could be the thumb drive is toast.
What format is/are these drive(s)?  If FAT then it could be a problem with your filenames.
General information about error -36 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18221459 - bad disk or format; try using Terminal to copy file.

    MobileMe is in the process of being shutdown. Perhaps the error is related to MobileMe going away.

  • How to never ever see Wine asking about installing gecko anymore?

    Hi,
    I love Wine, and I love Wine getting upgrades to newer, improved, versions.
    However, every single time Wine is upgraded, and that's quite often, when I then start it up, it shows a dialog that it needs to reinstall the "Gecko Engine".
    I want Wine to work properly. Whether it needs "Gecko Engine" for that or not does not matter for me (yeah it's for webbrowsing, what its purpose is does not matter for me, it's functionality of Wine just like everything else, but the other functionality never complains...). It probably does need it. But does it need to frigging reinstall that through a pop up GUI appearing at the point when you want to run some game or program in Wine after *every single* upgrade?
    What can I do to ensure that I will *never in my life* see wine asking about "Gecko engine" anymore, and yet despite that get upgrades for it and be able to use it properly?
    Thanks a lot!

    Install wine_gecko package.

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    "Extended" network means your phone is picking up towers from another carrier that Sprint has an agreement with. Long story short, Sprint does not have adquate coverage in the area where you are located when you see "extended".

  • How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address b

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

    This Error Code is indicative of the Device being jailbroken / Hacked...
    Sorry... But...
    The discussion of Jailbroken Devices is against the Terms of Use of this Forum.
    You will need to look elsewhere.

  • Question about error code

    I have been having problems when I try to open applications such as IPhotos or Photoshop. They keep on quitting. I did the Hardware Test and it showed error code 2MEM/5/4:DIMM1/J31. Does anyone know what it means and what I should do? I do not have a warranty anymore and now I wondered if I am gonna have to get the coverage plan (my budget is tight right now). Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Either the module has failed or has come loose. At this time I'd open up your computer and make sure it's still locked in place. Afterwards, no need to run the hardware test, just check with System Profiler to see if you were able to nudge it back into position.
    Once in a while RAM modules do fail, but not very often.
    Edit-
    Since you apparently did not purchase this from Apple, it probably is still under lifetime warranty by the seller, so look up your original order number on the invoice and fill out an RMA request on the website of your supplier, or of the manufacturer (brand) itself. If they don't have a Support section or warranty or RMA section, you'll have to email them.
    Put off thinking about eBay until you find out if it will be replaced under warranty.
    [If you had an extra 1GB of memory, that is not going to be a bargain on eBay, as many are just now upgrading and trying to buy that size, but if you had an extra 512MB, then that is what can be found for a fraction of the price you'd have to pay for new anywhere else. If you're really lucky you can find someone with a relatively new iBook or PowerBook who might be looking to sell what hardly had any use. Caution in shipping is required, as the biggest cause of RAM failure is mishandling of the module between manufacture and packaging.]
