Received an error code -50 during manual backup?

Please advise.
I received this error while performing a manual backup to support my Time Machine back ups ... I was copying files to a Seagate GoFlex for Mac drive. This is a 1TB drive interfaced with FireWire 800 connection. On ocassion for no apparent reason, it loses its connection to the FW port (which I intend to take up with Seagate this week); however, as was not the case during this copy process, I am befuddled with this error message.
I researched the (XCode) document in the Library/.../.../.../MacErrors.h, which stated this is some sort of "parameter error". As I did not enter any parameters and simply dragged the contents of the Mac HD Applications folder to a manual folder created on the portable drive, I am curious if I need to be concerned my files did not copy accurately.
I receive the following "Copy" pop-up with an OK button as my only option:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).
Any suggestions, reassurance and/or feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance for your input.
Sincerely,
Wynne Hunkler

This article says it could be that the file name contains characters which are not allowed, but also says that's for MS-DOS formatted drives. Are you using Windows, or was the drive not formatted Mac Extended Journaled GUID?

  • TS1702 i keep receiving an error code during my restore

    I'm trying to restore my iphone to original settings because it is jailbroke and keeps giving me a hard time. It begins to download and midway I receive an error code and then I get disconnected from my sync. How can I update and restore my phone?

    Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any remaining warranty, but forfeits your right to assistance from Apple, including from this forum.
    Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use that YOU agreed to by signing up to post here.
    You'll need to look elsewhere on the internet for assistance.  I'm sure you're aware that jailbreaking often permanently damages the phone making it forever useless.  Start saving up your money.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    That error code produces no results in the public KBs. Therefore, the only thing I can think of is to advise you to activate advanced logging and see if that reveals anything useful to you.

    In 2012, I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended (education edition) for Mac. Now I want to install it on my new Macbook. I have the correct serial number and product code, but I receive an error message: the software may be a false copy etc....What to do?

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.
    Verification of the Adobe Software failed
    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

    If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • HT201413 I am receiving the error code (-50). The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system. Is this why I get the error code? I can access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas

    I am receiving the error code (-50) when trying to access the itunes store. The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system (same PC) and have copied the folder across. Has the switch from 32 to 64 bit caused the problem? Is this why I get the error code? I can, however, access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas please?

  • I have received an error code of 150:30 in Photoshop CS4

    I have received an error code of 150:30 in my photoshop CS4 after getting a new hard drive installed in my MacBook Pro

    CS4 can never be transferred, that breaks licensing. It has to be installed from the discs or downloadable installer and serial number.
    Two ways to fix this:
    Reinstall CS4.
    Use the Terminal app and python script to repair it. 150:30  It's a screenshot guide. Start at post 11.

  • When I open Firefox, I receive this error code: Error ID Code: 8a2affaa-cb4f-4b96-9649-ecc39a102bb6. How do I fix this problem?

    Firefox will not start, and I receive an error code. The characters change in each error message, but the heading is always: "An error occurred while processing your request". I would appreciate any help available to solve this problem.

    This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
    To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    Hi Steve,
    we are running our EP60 on Solaris, and our knowledgemanagement.log is in /usr/sap/<portalname>/j2ee/j2ee_00/cluster/server/managers/log/portal/logs.
    Perhaps your crawler log level is off. You can modify the level of logging under:
    Configuration > Content Management > Global Services >
    Crawler Parameters
    I suggest you set the parameter Max. Log Level to error.
    Another tip can be: Systemadministrtion > Systemconfiguration > KM > Index-administration iView, and application protocol.
    Hope this helps.
