Can't Import Catalog - Unknown Error

Is this still a known bug without a solution?
I have LR3 on a MacBook Pro Snow Leopard and on a PC Desktiop Win XP Pro SP3. I exported a catalog from the laptop to an external hard drive and then attempted to import it to the desktop and kept getting the dreaded Can't Import Catalog - Unknown Error message.
I don't have an issue with LR Beta because i didn't use it; I just upgraded v2.6 installations on both machines to LR3.
I like LR3 but I've got to be able to get the image files and the LR work I've done on them from my laptop to my desktop and an Unknown Error is not what I need. Am I going to have to wait for the first dot release to be able to do this?

Well, I just got off the phone with Adobe Technical Support and I am extremely frustrated
Support: Since you are working cross-platform (from a Mac laptop via an external hard drive and then to a Win XP desktop) we can only say that sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not.
Me: Huh? It worked perfectly in LR 2.6.
Support: I am sorry. That is all I can tell you.
Me: That really ruins my month. I've got thousands of edited images on my laptop from a 3 week trip to SE Asia and now I can't move the catalog to my desktop? Give me a break!!
Support: You can copy the image files to your desktop.
Me: Without the accompanying adjustments?
Support: Yes. Sorry.
Me: Me too.
Anyone have a better idea? I've filed a bug report.....

Error Message: cannot be imported an unknown error occured (-50)

I get this message when I try to import audio and video files to the library. "cannot be imported an unknown error occured (-50)" I've already tried disabling anti-virus software and deleted any spyware on the system. I'm running windows xp with service pack 2.
I would like help fixing the problem.
THANK YOU

hmmmmmm. this can sometimes be caused by a damaged itunes library file in a particular XP user account.
What are the iTunes Library files?
let's try an experiment aimed at trying to work out if that's what is going on in your case. (this isn't a cure, it's more of a diagnostic technique.)
let's try an experiment.
quit itunes. head into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
now log out of the old account and log into the new account. launch itunes.
the library in there will be blank, because there's a different set of library files in that account. try importing a CD in that account. does it go through okay, or do you get the (-50) there too?

ITunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50) ?????????????

So ever since i update to 7.3 my itunes is totally screwed up. it always says this when i reopen it: "iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)"
not only do i have to redo whatever changes i make to my itunes but it lost a song i recently purchased because it "cant save" my itunes library. this is so frustrating. is there going to be a 7.3.1 coming out anytime soon to fix this problem because i know I'm not the only one who has it!!

So ever since i update to 7.3 my itunes is totally screwed up. it always says this when i reopen it: "iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)"
If you're getting that one on iTunes 7.3.0.54, try an upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1.3. (Note that Michael, who replied to you earlier in the thread, is reporting that here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4923385#4923385 )
Here's a link to the new installer:

42001 Presenter Publish Error Can't create uploader unknown error

42001 Presenter Publish Error Can't create uploader unknown
error
Well I guess that about says it all. I cannot publish ANY of
my Presenter files to Connect Pro... Do I need to do a Presenter
reinstall?

I know this is from 2010 but I just started with a company that uses this software and we are receiving this same error. I tried doing the regsvr32 ppsuplo.dll but came back with the following result " The module "ppsuplo.dll " failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found. I then looked in the program files folder for presenter and found the file right there. Then tried using the repair option without any luck. Anyone have an idea of what else we can do?

Imported Error - The file cannot be imported. Unknown error occured (-50)

I have the 30G Ipod. It has been freezing several times. I have reset and master reset several times. I used the updater program and restored the software (several times).
I also reinstalled itunes & ipod software from the cd and updated to the latest version of itunes.
Now I go to itunes, I see my ipod listed and as before I choose to import the file from my music directory which containes all my mp3 files. After choosing file, import, the error msg comes up saying the file cannot be imported. An unknown error occured (-50).

OK I'll do a basic explaination on what were about to do. When you use the "Restore" option in the updater, it does a quick format, basicly tagging everything on the drive inside the ipod saying "You can write over me". This is the same as a "Quick FOrmat" in windows.
Now theres a complete format called a low level or "Deep" format you can do in windows. THis goes thru and writes the whole harddrive in zeros AND maps off bad sectors on the drive or fixes them. this is what you have when the ipod clicks and freezes.
The steps you do are not that long, BUT the actual format can take hours. Some report gettin done in a hour others it takes 5 hours, so make sure you got the time before going ahead. You can do the steps before bedtime and let it format while you sleep. Make sure the PC is not set to goto sleep or shut off, if on a laptop leave it opened and plugged to its AC adaptor.
WITHOUT the ipod connected to the PC, hit ctrlaltdel keys to open the task manager. Select the "Process" tab, look for "iPodservice.exe". Highlight it and hit "End Process".
Now connect the iPod, it should flash the "Do not disconnect" sign and you will see it in windows under "My Computer". Rightclick the ipod in "My Computer" and hit format. UNCHECK quick format and hit start. Now this is the long part, you can stop the process half way thru, but I usually recommend to people to let it completely format to make sure it gets any bad sectors. Again its a long process so just be calm.
Once its done, reboot the PC so the "iPod service" is started again. When windows is back up YOU MUST run the ipod updater and restore it so the ipod is formatted into the format it needs. Only after this should you let iTunes get ahold of it and start loading it up

Can I import catalog photos from a usb drive?

I have imported photos from a catalog into a new catalog. Some of the photos in the catalog are located on a remote drive. The drive is not listed when I select the photos to be imported. Is it possible to import catalog photos from a usb drive?
Howie

Hi Keith,
"Import from another catalog" is a selection found in the Lightroom "File" drop down listing. Sorry I wasn't clear in my reguest. I have used this function to import photos in to my new Catalog from my old Catalog. During the import process, Lightroom creates a working catalog from which photos can be selected. A file list on the left side of the window displays the available hard drive folders. Once the photos to be extracted are selected the source folder is checked. The import button, on the bottom right of the window, is highlited to execute the import function. Since the external USB hard drive is not listed, the import function is not available.
My question: how do I enable the import from my USB drive? Perhaps I will have to move the files back onto my internal hard drive using my Lightroom's old catalog.
Howie

Can't update iPod, Unknown error occured????????

"The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-48)" comes up when I try to update my iPod. What does this mean? How can I fix it?

I figured it out!!! I just took iTunes off and reloaded it and now I don't get that problem anymore!

I am having this error when syncing by wifi:This ipod can't be synced unknown error (-50) occured

I get an error (This ipod can't be synced an unknown error -50 occured) when i try to wifi sync my ipod touch 4{ios5} . I have installed itunes 10.5{windows 7} and checked the option sync via wifi and have synced by data cable. I can't figure out what the problem is itunes shows my ipod on wifi and sync also starts but in the end it gives this error.
Any solution ?

I had this same error. It started when I was performing a USB sync, and unplugged the iPhone prematurely.
In any case, this procedure solved the problem for me, too.

Who can help me with unknown error 0xE800005E

After updating itunes to 10.6 and my iphone to iOS 5 my iphone got trouble syncing with my computer.
I was able to connect at first but halfway a sync I was disconnected and got the message:
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800005E)
After that my phone would not work properly and after a restart i only got the Apple logo on my phone.
I was able to do a recovery, restore and restore back up. However the after the back up was put back I had trouble syncing and the phone would stop working again. Did another recovery and restore but that gave other error messages.
Tried it with another computer without itunes 10.6. I was able to do a recovery, restore. This gave a basic recovery but not much of my apps and other info.
When I tried to sync on my other computer I got the same disconnect and error message.
I did a complete new install also, didn't work either.
I can't use the phone at all because after a little while I can't get into the phone any more and a reset gives the apple logo.
I used different USB cables and slots. No results.
Is this a hardware issue or software?
Are there more people with trouble after updating to iOS5 with this problem?
Has somebody some suggestions what to do next.

Upgraded to version 7.3 - Library file can not be saved - Unknown Error-50

I upgraded to version 7.3 and now I get a pop up error message that says the I Tunes library file can not be saved. The program reports an unknown error occurred (-50). The Pop up error message comes up every minute or so or any time I click on any item in ITunes.
I tried to contact Itunes and they sent me a link to this forum. Can someone please tell what to do to fix this problem or how to reach a real person at Itunes tech support?
I am running Windows XP.

Hi Ray,
Welcome to Apple Discussions..
Check out this link...
Many ppl are having this problem (myself included). I finally had to downgrade to 7.2 from a backup I had made earlier. 7.2, so far, hasn't caused me any problems so I'm waiting for 7.3.1.

Can't update iphone. unknown error (-23) help pls!

I cant seem to update my iphone 4. keep getting an error message "unknown error (-23)" anyone can help?

Hi, I've just manually updated mine SUCCESSFULLY! Make sure you SYNC ALL your data first
This was the method I used (courtesy of http://www.nickpan.com/2011/10/15/iphone-ios5-upgrade-unknown-error-23/):
Download the iOS5 manually. See http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-download-available/
Copy the iOS5 file to (For Windows 7 users) “C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates”.
Go back to iTunes and hit “Update”.

Can't sign in - Unknown Error 400

For the last few days I've been unable to sign in. I get the following message:
"We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (400).
There was an error in the music store. Please try again later."
Disturbingly, if I use the "Forgot Password?" button, Safari displays the following page:
"Server Error
Bad Request Error
This error indicates that an invalid request was received."
Something very screwy is going on!
I am using iTunes v6.02 under Mac OS X 10.4.4. I've reinstalled iTunes, switched off my firewall, checked my routers firewall.
I have no problems using any other internet services: http, https (since iTunes uses these ports).
Any help greatly appreciated!

Well what do you know - it works now! :-D
I must have done something wrong the last time I removed the cookies. The only thing I did differently this time was quitting Safari before starting up iTunes. But after cookie removal the darn thing suddenly lets me sign in again.
But I wonder why cookie problems suddenly turn up out of the blue after many blissful months of iTMS? Perhaps a case of a corrupt cookie? Maybe whatever Apple thought they fixed in iTunes 4.9 has reared its ugly head again in 6.02!
Thanks for your assistance guys, greatly appreciated! (^_^)

Can't install drivers. unknown error

gents,
I suddenly can't install drivers so that my new iLok and my Logitech USB-Dongle aren't working. I did a backup of all drivers from another Win7x64 systemdrive and extracted them. The Drivers were working on that system and am there.
Still I got a FILE NOT FOUND or similar error.
I checked the SETUPAPI.DEV.LOG which I copied below. Can anyone see what's the problem with the iLok driver f.e. ?
