-54 error when trying to convert to ipod/iphone

I moved all my itunes content off the startup drive on my mac, then changed the location in the advanced menu, etc. My movies are encoded to play on an appletv. When I try to convert a movie to iphone/itunes using the advanced menu or right clicking I consistently get an error -54. If in itunes preferences I change the location of the itunes music folder back to the start up drive in an empty folder (leaving the content on the non startup drive) itunes will convert the file and the converted file will end up on the startup drive and the error message goes away. This seems like a bug, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if there is something that I can do to fix this . . .
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you do not have administrator rights on the computer. Are you the only user on the account? You can go into the Control Panel and look under user accounts and see if it lists the account as an administrator.

  • Error when trying to convert excel files to pdf

    I'm getting the following error when trying to convert .xls and .xlsx files to pdf, using the "Create PDF" option:
    Error message from the primary converter:
    ALC-PDG-010-012-PDFMaker reported an error while printing the document.
    Word, Powerpoint and Text files convert without any issues. Also I'm able to opent the excel files and convert them to pdf using the acrobat option in excel.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It is always difficult when you need to convert multiple xls files to pdf or multiple sheets to pdf. If you have a single file to convert then the best method would be to copy your data to doc file and then convert it into PDF . If you have multiple files to convert then it is really difficult to convert all the files manually. Then the better method would be to use converter tool to convert excel to pdf . By doing this you can convert many files in just few seconds.

    "an error" really doesn't tell us much.

    Sara,
    Please see my answers in bold below.
    What browser are you using? Try clearing the cache, or using a different browser. N/A
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website. Within Reader.I disabled the OCR and this did not work either. Try converting from within Reader, and disable OCR as detailed in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Are you on a networked computer? Make sure that there aren't any firewall/proxy settings that are preventing you from uploading files to the Internet. Not having problems uploading the file--that works fine.
    Make sure the file is within the file-size limit of 100 MB. It is <40.
    I get the error message, "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online."
    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • FCP ERROR when trying to convert variable frame rate Panasonic P2

    Ok, yesterday I was able to convert variable frame rate footage so it rendered out nice slo mo's via DVCPRO HD Frame rate converter in FCP 6.0.4, it worked perfect. I tried it multiple times - So I know it can be done... Today however I created the same "easy setup" in FCP I used yesterday, and it wont work?
    it comes up with the error:
    "An error occurred during processing, unable to conform source media FCP" is there some setting that by default switches"
    has anyone heard of this happening? it seems like a program error... but I could be wrong... I haven't been able to figure it out on my own.
    does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Lance,
    Sounds like you have done a very thorough job of tracking down your problem and a temporary solution. Just one question. Is the footage from the HDX-900 that you say...
    Lance Moody wrote:
    Since some footage from the HDX-900 was shot at 60FPS for conversion to 24FPS as slo-mo, I then attempted to use the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate converter to accomplish this.
    flagged in camera as being 24fps or are you just trying to convert it after the fact?

    Check which settlement profile maintained in your order type using OPJH.
    Then go to the t.code OKO7 and select the same settlement profile which is there in your order type.
    In receivers
    Change the sales orders settings to

    If in your scenrio not using sales order the change to Settlement not allowed
    try this

  • Getting a 9041 error when trying to convert to AAC

    I'm trying to convert some Apple Lossless songs to AAC and every time I try (different songs) I get "Unknown error occurred (9041).
    I was able to drag the song to the desktop, open it in QuickTime and export it as an AAC so the files aren't corrupted.
    I'm running Lion and the latest version of iTunes

    "I have been able to convert to AAC by first converting to AIFF  and then to AAC. This is a pan though."
    this worked for me.
    thanks.

  • How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

    I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5.  Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software.  I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap.  I removed Bonjour and quicktime.  I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program.  After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5.  However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down.  I tried making a new user profile.  Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer.  The program again elicited a DPE error.  I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed.  Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue.  Please help.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !
