Strange error when Bootcamp attempts to create partition for Windows

I get a strange error when I tell Bootcamp to create a partition for Windows. I get to the Create a Partition stage. I select 20GB for Windows leaving 91GB (39GB free) for OS X. I then click Partition and it gives me the following error
*The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.*
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
My disk is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), I have closed all applications (besides Bootcamp Assistant) and I have even restarted and tried again to see if that might help. Nothing. I can't get it to partition. Any thoughts? Can I partition my disk manually through disk utility and then select it in Bootcamp?

Hi,
this gets asked at least a thousand times by now.
Have a look at this thread for solution http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10540273&#10540273

  • Help? Trying to create partition for Windows...

    Okay so I'm trying to create a partition for Windows XP and I go to the Boot Camp Assistant and I have it set to 32 GB and I click partition and it says that I have to "repair the disk." So I go to the Disk Utitlity and I tried verifying my Mac HD and it couldn't even verify. Here's the description:

    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

    Someone please tell me what does this all mean and tell me how to make the error go away

    Hello akl88066
    To repair the Macintosh volume, you will need to boot and make the repairs from the install disk as described in the link below!

  • I'm having problems with a message that says: An error occurred while Attempting to create the directory: C:/program files/itunes/cd configuarion

    I know this is a long story, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to get the most specific help I can (as Apple seems to specialize in assuming user error for all its demonic software). I've never had issues with iTunes before (barring a "Connect to iTunes" snafu with my iPod Touch) -- and never, in fact, with Windows Vista, if you believe that -- but this is the most bizarre thing I've seen.
    I recently downloaded the new iTunes v 9.0.3 as I am occasionally prompted to do whenever a new version comes out, and immediately I had problems. Access to the iTunes and Quicktime folders was mysteriously denied after the update, and after several hours of frustration, I was able to grant my own Administrative access to these two folders and installation went through. Thank God.
    Then I bought some music. No problems -- downloaded just fine, along with a copy of Cinderella Man and the new episode of Smallville. Life was good for a few days.
    Then I connected my iPod Touch to the computer. All of a sudden, Microsoft Windows informs me that the "Apple Mobile Device Service stopped working and was closed," with subtext, "A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available."
    Bullsh*t Windows can help me with anything from Apple.
    So I've tried to get iTunes to work with me on this. I've come up against the infamous "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)" message. My God, when does it ever end?
    So I go into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Apple Mobile Device and start it back up... only to watch it stop again inexplicably moments later. Hmm... Restart. Stays on. Unplug the iPod and plug it back in. Apple Mobile Device Service stops again. Maybe it's the iPod Service itself. Hey, that one's not started! [Start] "Windows could not start the iPod Service service on Local Computer -- Error 5: Access is denied."
    What the f*ck is it with this "Access denied" crap? I've never been denied access to even the most intimate functions, files and folders on my freaking computer before! What has Apple created!?
    I thought, perhaps Apple Mobile Device software was somehow removed. Okay, let's redownload iTunes (aka Repair the program from the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel -- same thing). Huh. "An error occurred while attempting to create directory C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration," and I can choose to Retry or Cancel. So, instinctively, I deleted the CD Configuration folder, assuming iTunes Setup would just recreate it.
    Well, that didn't work now, did it? I deleted it and hit Retry, and it said, "The installer has insufficient priveleges to access the directory: C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator." Running the .exe file as an adminstrator changes NOTHING about this predicament.
    So that's where it stands. No CD Configuration folder; full access to all files and folders involved; Apple Mobile Device Service still keeps going off for no reason; iPod Service still doesn't run; Repairing/Reinstalling iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, etc. does nothing; and God (aka Steve Jobs, apparently) hates me.
    . . . . . . . . . . . . Help me.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • NEED HELP : Encountered error -47 on attempt to create QuickTime

    Hi all,
    I hope someone can help me. I'm using Shake 4.1 and making setting to use Qmaster 3.5. All seem to work fine and my images are rendered... But at the end of the process the file could not be completed... I try many output file ( tif, tga, quicktime, avi and so on... I got both error on my Macbook pro and Mac pro.
    I made a clean uninstall of Qmaster and Shake... and reinstall them after with last updates. So there is a sample messages of one of my process below. Any kind of help will be appreciate! Thank you!
    Status: Processing: frame number: 22, rendered in 65.20s. frame number: 22, rendered in 65.20s. 2010-08-06 00:21:36.139 shake[1622:60f] No file moved to the trash.
    Status: Successful: Encountered error -47 on attempt to create QuickTime file /Users/Home/Desktop/DEMO/NAYATESTRENDER. . 2010-08-06 00:21:36.139 shake[1622:60f] No file moved to the trash.

    We use shake with QMaster 3.5 all day long... it does work, but it is a bit twitchy and cryptic to troubleshoot.
    We find the elusive "will render each frame but crap out on assembly" error to be one of the compression pass on the way out. We find it works when Shake files are set to render as "uncompressed" Quicktime files.
    We typically compress it after shake output, with Shake or compressor, or Quicktime itself. Most efficient workflow is to setup a second, serialized QMaster job to compress the first Shake job's output.

    I am getting an R6034 error when I attempt to download the latest version of iTunes. What does this mean?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.

    Hello,
    Suddenly the working CRM is being stopped for some group of users.
    I drilled down to the issue and have checked that the users from Domain in which CRM is installed are having CRM access.
    But for other domain user having problem to access CRM.
    I tried to add a user from a domain which is not of CRM domain then it gives following error.
    "Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.
    <Message>LookupAccountNameW failed with error</Message> "
    The change is made - AD group have upgraded Activer Directory server to 2012 R2
    Please help as the Production CRM is not working for other domain user.

    We have Activer Directory Structure like below.
    One Root Domain says A
    and there are multiple child domain like B,C,D etc...
    B,C and D are all in same level,they are child of A domain.
    There are two way transitive trusts between A and all the child Domain.
    But there is no trust in between B and C and so on.
    Our CRM server is in B domain and B domain's user can access CRM but users of Domain C,D and so on can not access CRM.

  • An error occurred while attempting to create the d...

    I keep receiving this message
    An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Users\owner\AppData"
    anyone knows how to fix this?

    I might be wrong but the issue is most likely related to missing permissions for the C:\Users\WinUserName\AppData folder. If this is the case, then not only Skype but all other programs which need to access this folder will not install properly. In order to locate this folder one has to type %appdata% in Windows Start Search box and press Enter. Right click on the AppData folder, select properties and Security tab. Select in turn all the user names listed there. Should be something like SYSTEM, your win user name and Administrators. For each of the users look for which permissions are given for this folder. If some permissions are missing, then click Edit and change to Allow. You will only be able to do this if you have Administrative privileges.

  • An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

    Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
    "an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
    I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
    Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

    I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
    I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
    Any suggestions?

  • Strange Error when previewing or publishing

    Hi Muse Family
    I am getting a very strange error when I publish to BC or when I go to preview in browser:
    "Adobe Muse has encountered an error.. blah blah"
    and then a very confusing:
    "There should not be such ID exists in the mapping"
    It forces Muse to close.
    I can't think of any significant step I took to cause this problem from when it was working.

    To enable the frequent release of new features within Muse, the team is always simultaneously working on many different improvements only some of which are completed and exposed in any given release. In the 2014.1 update some of the underlying code related to SVG support was unintentionally enabled. When copying and pasting from some versions of Adobe Illustrator (and other sources) the result may be an SVG vector graphic in Muse, rather than an image. While the SVG may appear to work in Design view, it can cause failures when exporting or publishing from Muse. This functionality will be disabled in an imminent dot release, 2014.1.1. We advise users to remove SVG content from their sites. Until 2014.1.1 is available, the graphics will need to be brought into Muse as .png, .jpg, .gif or .psd images using File > Place or Import, rather than Copy/Paste.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. SVG support will be fully implemented, tested and included in a future major update of Muse.
    Additional discussion in this thread <Re: I can paste vectors in muse now, it shows up in preview, and even in a browser preview, but not when I upload.>.

  • Strange error when trying to validate a business rule

    I get this strange error when I try to validate a business rule:

    EX:

    Are all of these members belong to different dimesions?
