Message: The operation can't be completed because an unexped error occurred (error code-50).
This appears when I'm copying a file to the drive and then I wasn't able to edit to my drive.
Then this morning I can't open my project file.  I get this message: The project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened.
What should I do!??
I  have moved my project onto 2 different external hard-drives now.

Hi There,
After looking around for this error, it seems to be related to OS, we would recommend you to contact Apple support for this.
Thanks,

  • The operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists

    I am trying to make a click and drag backup on an external FAT 32 drive to compliment my Time Machine backup (long story) and I've done this each time by dragging my critical folders into the drive. I get a message asking me to stop, replace or skip, and whether to apply to all items. i click replace, apply all, and let it go.
    however, one stubborn folder refuses to comply. every single time I click and drag a group of folder that includes that one, I get a message saying "the operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists" even after I selected the the "apply all" prompt. at which point, the Mac stops transferring ALL the other files.
    I figured, OK, i'll just transfer the other folders individually and then deal with this folder later. so I do that, and once I get to the offending folder, I try to transfer just that one folder into the drive. no good; I get the operation message again. I decide to just transfer the contents of the folder, rather than the folder itself. No good, I just get the operation message about one of the folders within the main folder.
    anyone know the cause, or at least a fix?

    If you've installed a system modification called "TotalFinder," remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Log out, log back in, and try again.
    Otherwise, open the Info dialog on both the source and the destination volumes. What is the Format of each? For example, it might be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • I have a pop up window that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61). What does that mean?

    I am using a portable USB storage drive connected to my laptop.  I am trying to delete a file from the USB drive but it is not working. A pop up window appears that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61)". What does that mean and how do I fix it?  Thank you.

    All I can tell you is that is a write permissions error. How is this drive formatted? Check the file's permissions. You can try:
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo rm -rf
    Leave a space after "-rf" and drag the file into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

    Hi Friends...
    I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

    Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
    Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
    The answer that you gave was....
    This is the only one
    Now you are saying that....
    But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
    Can you clarify, please?

    You need the System DVDs that originally came w/the computer in order to troubleshoot.  All Macs prior to & including ML came w/System DVDs. 
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 6105 (error -1).

    I am trying to share a project and after the 3% of sharing the project it appears this message.
    The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 6105 (error -1).
    What can I do?? I need some help please!!

    You need to set the FCP X Preferences to count in frames, locate that frame, delete the clip around it and replace with a fresh one.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 570 (error -1)

    Hi everybody,just started with FCPX and the following occured:
    The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 570 (error -1)
    Result is that i can not share to my hard disk.
    If anybody could help me out here....?

    CHange General preferences to show frames. Check what's happenING at the frame number. Maybe replace the shot.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1)

    I'm getting this error code in Final Cut Pro.  The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1). What does this mean and how can I fix it?  This code comes up when exporting. 

    Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and I'm running it on OS X 10.9.1.  I have been doing nothing different for the past few months. I have been creating a weekly video and exporting the same way and everything, but it just did this today for the first time. I have never had this error code before.

  • What does "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)." mean, and why does it keep happening?

    So I've been trying to export a video file from Motion 5 (and FCPX), and I keep recieving the message "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)". I've found the problem has something to do with a video file in the project, Ive tried multiple versions of said file, in multiple formats (.mov, h264, etc.), and I keep getting the same result.  The file was originaly a 640x480 wmv file. Any suggestions?

    I ended up figuring out a solution, but I'll get to that in a sec.
    To answer your question, I converted the .wmv file in a program called Media Converter (available in the App store), and converted it to an h.264 file (then later to a .mov file, and then to an .mpg). I could view the file, and work with it in projects, but any project I tried to output with any version of said file, would result in the afor mentioned message, with the same results in FCPX (and Compressor 4 as well).  I tried multiple frame rates, resolutions, files types, re-converting the file, all with no luck.  My impression from said experiments, and reading other discussions was that it was a corrupt file. 
    Then I got frisky...and a little desperate. I brought the converted file (the .wmv to .mov) into Motion 4... and an export worked first try.  So I exported a pro-res file from Motion 4, and used that file in the already built Motion 5 project, and voila! 
    So, who knows what that means in real terms, as for the whats and whys.

    Has anyone any ideas?
    Many Thanks

    Switch your FCP preferences to show frames and see what's happen at that frame number. Try trash any render files. Switch off background rendering. Don't render. Try replacing the clip at the problem area.
