Cannot move/delete file, Error code -36

"The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “file name.png” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
This is appearing as I try to move or delete a file on my external hard drive.
I am on OS X 10.10.1, The hard drive works perfectly, and is only 1 month old.
I am only using up 30% of the hard drive space.
No issues with my computer itself.
I am using a macbook pro and a seagate hard drive.
Any suggestions?
I have looked else where for solutions and most stated a dying hard drive and formatting (which I don't know how to do)
Thanks, Happy holidays

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Cannot delete file error -43 file not found

I cannot find and/or delete a file. The error is -43 file not found. It prevents me form making a backup with carbon copy.
The file was in applications / illustrator / legal / strangecharacters.html (now in trash) and size 112kb.
I am the admin of the machine on OSX 10.4.8
I have read & write permissions
Owner og the file is system.
I cannot change the filename: Unexpected error code -43!
I cannot change owner: Unexpected error code 213!
I cannot drag the file out of the containing folder i.e. legal (i get grayed stop icon instead of the expected green plug icon at the mouse pointer).
I can drag the legal folder around i.e. to the trash.
I can not delete the folder and its contents with empty or secure emtpy trash.
I tried:
Repairing privileges. Nothing to repair, all is well.
Rebuilding Locate Database but got 'cannot find the file code-43' while the folder was still in its original location: applications / illustrator /
I logged out and back as admin and different user.
I restarted.
I tried to delete the file via Terminal with rm and with command below as suggested by apple technote. The result is not as desired:
% chflags -R nouchg /Users/macuser/.Trash/Legal\ 22-06-59/Tie\314\202\314\201ng\ Vie\314\202\314\243t.html
chflags: /Users/macuser/.Trash/Legal 22-06-59/Tiếng Việt.html: No such file or directory
I started up from a different volume and tried the above.
Anyone?

as in my previous post, i found that part of my hard drive directory was corrupt. .ie. short version: there was a discrepancy between what the directory knew to be on the disk and what the finder showed me...
so i did a startup in single mode (command-s) and type fsck -fy at the prompt to do a disk repair. took aout three runs and 20 minutes but after that i got the desired message: disk appears to be ok. i typed reboot which restarted the machine. i then ran disk utillity repair privileges.
everything now is fine.
note: working with bluetooth keyboard and mouse in single mode worked on my G5 (not sure though if this applies to all models), also fans make a lot of noise, like your machine is about to take off... dont worry)
hope this helps

The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

H,
Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
Event 1001
Op Code NLS initialization
The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now.
I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
How do we ascertain the cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

Hi,
This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.

And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

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:152)
at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:130)
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,
Prithvi

Yes

How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?

Pretty sure yes.

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

IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
(With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw file in directly from the
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
folder.
No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

After last Moutain Lion update, suddenly and sporadically I cannot move my files using my mouse. I only get a "ghost" image. Moving items to the trash is, of course no problem. Does anyone have a solution? I've updated my permissions...no go!

Cannot move icon files using my mouse or cursor after installing Mountion Lion's last update. After rebooting several times, this sometimes fixes the problem. I've tried checking and updating my permissions, but this hasn't worked. What's happening? I haven't backed up so I can't go back to Lion. Has this happened to anyone else? What can I try? Thanks!

Try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Now download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).

Cannot move/delete locked infoobjects

Hi,
In one of my ODS object, I want to move some info objects from Data Fileds to Key fields. When I am trying to do this, getting an error "cannot move/delete locked infoobjects".
I have deleted all the data from the ODS and then tried. Even though it is giving the same error.
Thanks
Ramesh Ganji

Pl try the following:
1. Delete the data in the ODS and try to change the ODS.
2.Delete the data in the master data table of the object that you wish to shullfe anf try to change the ODS>
3. If you have loaded another ODS or cube from this ODS, delete data from there as well and then try the change.
4. FInally, check if you see any entries in St12 and unlock them.

Can you please let me know is there anything missing.

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.

Keep getting Cannot save library file error -50 message on my PC

I keep getting "cannot save library file error -50 when I open up iTunes on my PC
Won't download music purchased on iPhone4 to iTunes in my PC

Same issue here. Running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and newest version of iTunes. Normally happens when I am ripping a CD into iTunes and by chance multi task or the screen saver kicks in.
What ***** is if you walk away while ripping a CD(because it takes 3 times as long in iTunes vs any other ripper), and it will halt your ripping until you click "ok". I have not tried the "dont tell me again" check box just in case it is a problem I need to know about. This happened about 2 or 3 days after upgrading to Vista and I got an empty library the next time I opened the library. Somehow it got corrupted. Luckily I back up the xml file and just restored that one file from last back up.
(off subject but also getting the maxed our processor still in the newest version for Windows Vista. Wish they would fix that!)

PS CC: Camera Raw filter gives "cannot parse your files" error

Hi
I can open files fine in Photoshop CC, but if I try to use the Camera Raw filter, I get the "file format module cannot parse your files" error. This only happens with larger TIFFs, say 300 MB or so - 70 MB files work fine. I have a fast machine running Windows 7 with 12GB of RAM, so I would expect to have enough space, but maybe it isn't configured properly in PS preferences?
Thanks for any help,
Peter

300MB Tiff seems like a large files size for a Tiff which leads me to believe its a layered Tiff. ACR does not have Layers support try opening the Tiff file in Photoshop not through ACR to see it there are layers. If there are target all of them and convert to a smart Object then try ACR as a filter. A smart object is a single layer in Photoshop.
