Can't open downloads to desktop (Error code - 10660)

Hi Everyone,
I'm having a problem opening documents that are downloaded to my desktop. I recieve the following error, "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (Error code - 10660)." I can go into the required program (i.e. Microsoft Word) and open the file by going through the necessary steps, but simply clicking on the icon on the desktop gives me the above error message.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi, jmack21.
If you have the requisite applications to open the files, and those apps are not in the Trash, then Error Code -10660 can also indicated corruption in Launch Services. See my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ.
Good luck!

When I try to click and drag items to the desktop, I receive the following error: You can't open the application "Desktop" because it may be damaged or incomplete.

I am not able to edit my desktop, I receive the following error: You can’t open the application “Desktop” because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Also, I cannot rearrange folders, add folders, or move things out of my trash back to the desktop.

Error Code 10660 -- can't open a file

I can't open a WORD file unless I have already opened WORD. In the past, the computer would open the application for me and open the file. When I try, it pops a dialogue box saying: The Operation could not be completed, and in smaller type: an unexpected error occurred (error code 10660).
What went wrong, and how can I fix it?

Hi there,
I believe the problem has nothing to do with your Mac but with your copy of Microsoft office, the code appears to be well known by them.
Have a look this link:

I 'm from Iran and like apple very much I waiting for your response... !

In short, because you are in Iran and probably trying to use the App store in another country. You can search the forums for several other threads on this topic.

Powerpoint attachment won't open: Error code 10660

Hi all,
I have recently downloaded a .pps (PowerPoint as opposed to Keynote) attachment from one of my correspondents, and on trying to open the attachment, I get the following message:
The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code - 10660).
Is this the fault of my iWork software (given that I have temporarily 'dumped' the trial iWork '09 into the trash) or a system failure? I'm usually able to open .pps files.
Any uncomplicated assistance would be greatly appreciated.

not sure this is helpful. but i am getting the same error code when trying to open a pdf file. also when i was changing a pages poster i had created for my website and exported it to pdf on desktop., which then wouldnt open because of the error code 1 660. i know your problem is different (sounds complicated) but this is a new problem it used to do it , but not anymore, so i think it's strange and dont know why. any clues anybody?

Been having trouble with printer drivers, so I uninstalled Photoshop CC and now I can't reinstall. Getting an error code 50

I can't get cc to install. error code 50

Can you open the CC Desktop Application Manager. Click on the cog icon top right corner. Then on Account and see what version you are running?
If less than 1.6.0.393 then you need to update the Desktop Application Manager. I think that _might_ fix your error 50.

SSIS BULK INSERT unsing UNC inside of ForEach Loop Container Failed could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.)

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to fix my problem
Error: Could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.)
Process Description:
Target Database Server Reside on different Server in the Network
SSIS Package runs from a Remote Server
SSIS Package use a ForEachLoop Container to loop into a directory to do Bulk Insert
SSIS Package use variables to specified the share location of the files using UNC like this
\\server\files
Database Service accounts under the Database is runing it has full permission on the share drive were the files reside.
In the Execution Results tab shows the prepare SQL statement for the BULK insert and I can run the same exact the bulk insert in SSMS without errors, from the Database Server and from the server were SSIS package is executed.
I am on a dead end and I don’t want to re-write SSIS to use Data Flow Task because is not flexible to update when metadata of the table changed.
Below post it has almost the same situation:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8de13e74-709a-43a5-8be2-034b764ca44f/problem-with-bulk-insert-task-in-foreach-loop?forum=sqlintegrationservices

Insteresting how I fixed the issue, Adding the Application Name into the SQL OLAP Connection String Fixed the issue. I am not sure why SQL Server wasn't able to open the file remotely without this.

Problem: Failed to open the connection. Error Code 0x800002F4 (-2147482892)

This is on two (2) separate machines. These are NEW INSTALLATION development work stations (laptops). One is Vista (Visual Studio 2008 / Crystal Reports 2008), and the other is Windows XP Pro (Visual Studio 2003 / Crystal Reports XI R1).
I am using EXISTING CODE (established over several years), and EXISTING REPORTS (established over several years). Old development station was XP Pro, as above, and still exists, and still works fine.
I can open the report in Crystal, and see the results just fine. Data for the report is obtained via ODBC.
Can someone identity the actual error by the Error Code above, and advise. Thanks You in Advance.

Ok, so let's start at step 1:
SP 1 just released and I'd recommend applying that. The SO is available from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010503722008E/cr2008_sp1.exe
For future reference, msm matching the above SP is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011715292008E/cr121_mm.zip
and msi is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011722132008E/cr121_redist_install.zip
Step 2: a few questions:
a) I am not sure what CR SDK you are using; RDC, .NET? I suspect that you are using the CR assemblies for .NET, but do confirm.
b) what is the database you are connecting to?
c) is this a web or a win app?
Step 3: As the error can mean any number of things (to me it's just means something went wrong during the attempt to connect to the database...), the solution may vary, however the troubleshooting steps remain quite consistent:
1) Do make sure the report is indeed working in the CR 2008 designer (e.g.; make sure "saved data" is not enabled.
2) Try a simple new windows app with one of your reports. See if you have a report with no subreports and use it
3) If that works, use a report with subreports
4) If the above does not work in (1) above, create a new report to the same ODBC connection, do not code any database connection - let the report prompt for the logon parameter (PWD)
5) Run the new report in your new app, enter the PWD when prompted
6) If this works, add your database logon code
7) If that works, add your original report (again, preferably with no subreports)
8) If that fails, ensure that the subreport and main report use the same database connection type (ODBC)
9) If it works, see if you can determine the difference between your old app and the new app.

I tried to backup computer contents, but could not because "finder can't complete the operations becaus some data in "....JPG" can't be red or written (error code-36)" What is this?

Question: I tried to backup my computer contents, cut coun't because "finder can't compelte the operation because some data in ........JPG (an iphoto image)
can't be read or written (error code -36) What is this error and how can I correct it?
Thanks,

I am backing up on two different drives...one is on the time machine...the one I am having trouble with is a passport that I back up manually. I have not gotten a notice from the backup on the time machine that there is an error.
Before this error occured....the "event" that the photo was in emptied without me doing anything. This has happened before, when the total number of pictures that I have downloaded for the day, the events emptied overnight without me doing anything (????????)
Can you explain more what is happening.....
Thanks

Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk. If that fails to help I'd try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Can't run System Profiler, error code -10660

Hi-
I am trying to determine if my daughter's B/W g3 (350 mhz, 512 mb, OS 10.3.9) will accept a new, modest 20" flat panel she'll be getting for Christmas.
I can't run system profiler, or disc utility to see what's under the hood. I keep getting 'error code -10660'
Any ideas?
Any recommendations for the monitor would be appreciated also. I was thinking something about $200.
Thanks-
Ray

If you're trying to launch the application by opening a document, select the document in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and set it to open with the correct application in the Open With section. If you're opening the application directly or through another method other than opening the document, move it to the Applications folder; that error means that the application set as the default wasn't found or is in the Trash.

I uninstalled and reinstalled but at the end of installation there were erros. See attached screen shot. I now cannot open the application. error code 10810 comes up when I try to open.

I could not update photoshop CS6 and Jeff from forum advised unistalling and reinstalling (Tk93580659). Mac OSX. In real trouble, as suggested I uninstalled and reinstalled but at the end of installation there were errors. See attached screen shot. Now I cannot open the application. Error code 10810 comes up when I try to open (see 2nd screenshot). Please help. I have now lost photoshop altogether whereas previous at least I still could use it but could not update. Thank you for any help to instal successfully. Dr Koh

Still looking for a solution to specific installation errors (see screeshot) referring to "Language Pack installation failure":
ERROR: DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:
ERROR: DW050: - Adobe Photoshop CS6 Core: Failed due to Language Pack installation failure
ERROR: DW050: - Adobe Photoshop CS6 International English Language Pack_AdobePhotoshop13-en_GB: Install failed
Unfortunately previous advice of using CCS cleaner tool, and suggestions from links for 1) "exit code 6 and 7" and 2) "Troubleshoot instal logs" did not work at all. So I am desparate to fix this because I have spent a lot of money purchasing Photoshop CS6 but have no functioning program. Surely Adobe can help solve this problem with installing, or else it means a lot of money spent on Photoshop CS6 for nothing. I am appealing directly to Adobe to help because I have come to the end of my options. I thank the forum for their suggestions but so far the solution for this specific "Language Pack installation failure" problem is missing. Thank you.
