Palm not syncing + Palm Desktop won't open (error message says FILE IS BUSY)

Drama players = Tungsten e2+Mac OS X 10.5.4
Tungsten e2+Mac OS X 10.4.1
Hi,
I've been trying to hotsync my palm to Mac laptop for a few hours everyday for 5 days now - I've visited all the forums, bought a new laptop (this was incidental rather than caused by the palm problem)
...At first I got the "transport monitor" missing error - I followed support forums' suggestions. It didn't work. Hotsync would not happen; and neither would palm desktop open. i don't use any other programs to sync (not isync, not outlook, etc) Only ever use Palm for like 10 years now.
This problem persisted in both my 3-yr old mac and the brand new mac-
I also tried installing pam desktop from the online palm support site.
I've since re-installed palm desktop a few times and handheld says "hotsync operation complete" However, Palm Desktop will not open and I get this error -- "file is busy"
Please please help - I've recently decided to allow my palm to rule my life again (we do international events and we're bringing in Australia's #1dj in a few weeks) --I'm desperate for a solution -
Thank you!!

HT3775 I just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?

i just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?

I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and QuickTime
will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips?

After installing iTunes 10.3.1 it won't open, error message - "the file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"

new iTunes won't open. Error says cant read iTunes Library.itl becuase it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
I had just installed iTunes 10.3.1 as was instructed by the Genius at the store.

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

Certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully. Also while watching the same episode on my laptop (Mac Book Pro) it freezes.

I had this same message appear today when i was putting new music on my ipod touch 4th gen. The only difference is that I wasnt using an external drive. I was using the one on my computer. This is the first time i have had this problem

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

I am unable to sync my ipad..i get error message " required file cannot be found" Can you help me?

Some things to try in this order:
1) Make sure you designated the correct folders for music, etc.
2) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons on the iPad until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
3) Make sure all antivirus and firewalls are off.
4) Delete and reinstall itunes. (Back up the itunes folder first.)
Hope this helps...

Your profile indicates you are running 10.5.8. If that's correct and you just got this iMac, did you purchase it used?

Installed IE 8 on my vista home laptop and now my palm desktop won't open .

The desktop that came with my palm Centro worked fine for a year. I installed IE8, now when I try to open the Palm desktop it won't open. I can still hotsync via USB. Windwoes says there is a problem and it can't open but will look to see if there is a solution. Windwoes doesn't find one. I tried to go back to a previous restore point, still nothing. I don't have bluetooth on my computer so new 6.2 desktop is not an option. Help Please

Hello geocostello and thanks for posting on the forums....
You can re-install the 4.2 desktop that came with your centro via the CD. (if you still have it...) If not, you can go to the palm.com and do a search for Desktop Manager 4.2 and download it, then install it. This should not affect your data. Before doing this, try going into the Add/Remove Programs and un-installing the desktop manager from there. Then re-install the software. Again, This should not affect your data.
If the software does not un-install from Add/remove Programs, you can go to microsoft and download the Microsoft Un-install Utility. This should remove the software and registry entries and allow you to re-install the Desktop manager 4.2
Let us know what happens....
Thanks,
Cola

When Syncing with Desktop I get a error message "Record with Specified fffffeoa not found

I can sync with my desktop using my Playbook but will not sync with my 9700 bold and receive this error message.

You're most likely gonna have to backup, then erase your phone, as described here:
