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.

  • 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!

    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!

  • 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:

  • MBP "System Profile" error when try read "Logs" and long time blue screen

    Hello @larrycarol99,
    I understand that after upgrading your computer when you plug in an ethernet cord you get a hardware malfunction error. I am providing you with a Microsoft Support document: Hardware Malfunction Results in System Error Message that explains what causes that error and provides steps on fixing it. I am also including a link to the Compaq Presario 5300US Desktop PC Drivers page, which unfortunately does not have any drivers for your computer running Windows Vista.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • XServe G5, Leopard Server 10.5.8, System Profiler error

    This is the same issue as discussed in this archived thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10747734
    Running System Profiler and selecting "Memory" displays an error and no information, and logs these errors:
    2010-06-29 10:27:24.768 system_profiler[2673:10b] * -[NSCFData boolValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3a83b0

    I can see the overall memory amount via "About This Macintosh", but I cannot see the configuration (how much in which slots). Anyone got a fix for this yet?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    What does issuing:
    sudo system_profiler SPMemoryDataType
    Show? It does not exactly address your problem but it should at least give you the information you want? Have you tried creating another test admin account on the Server itself using the Accounts tab in System Preferences and logging in with it? Does the problem go away?
    If it does log back in with the default admin account, delete the newly created test admin account and clear out all the preferences/plists in /Users/adminhome/Library/Preferences. Create a folder on the desktop and place them all in there in case you need some of them later on - you more than likely wont. Clear out everything in /Users/adminhome/Library/Caches as well. Restart the server. Hopefully that might help?

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.controllerExportInternal(PrintOutputController.java:280)

    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.
    Thanks,

    Yes
    >>Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    >>Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs.
    How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?
    >>Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create
    >>a file in RAS's default temp directory?
    Pretty sure yes.
    >> Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions

    Not on App server.
    For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

  • 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.

  • Pdf/picture viewer error code -10660

    I am unable to open any pdf /picture viewer files. I receive error code -10660 and cannot find error code in any listed mac codes.

    If you've done work on any image and saved it in Photoshop or the app you used, it will always default to open the next time in the same app (3rd party app)...
    You can change that by right click on image > get info > look half way down you'll see a "open with" option, now you can change that to Preview, you can also do this for all by selecting "change all", close and right click on image again and Preview should be the default (first option), if it worked, you can just double click on all like extensions and it should open in Preview...

    Hi,
    We face the same problem with some BI4 reports.
    The same report works well with the "Crystal Reports Viewers API", as used in Infoview, but not with the "Report Application Server (RAS) API".
    This error appears after some time working on a report. If we reproduce the same report, but from zero, no problem.
    Hope it can help.

    At this point TM error codes are best known by the Apple Tech support people or at least they will have access to the software engineers who will have this knowledge. As fas as I know there's no definitive list of TM error code available to users/customers.
    You can always send Apple feedback on this issue.
