Data erased while copying (NOT moving)

I was copying photos from an SD card through a reader that plugs into the USB port, and it decided to dismount itself during the transfer. This happens all the time, but it never is a problem as I was copying the files so I could always start again. This time, it completely erased everything on the SD card itself somehow, and with 200+ more files still remaining to be copied. Even the root folder my camera makes to store the folders in is gone from the card. How is this possible? Is it the fault of my Macbook Air, or the fault on the SD card's side?

I am not sure but I suspect the card. This is the first time I have heard of this.
Does the card show up in disk utility, and is it empty, or not.

Lion finder copying not moving files

I just tried to move a bunch of file from the desktop to a folder on the desktop and it copied them - normally it would move them ... how is this please (I was not touching the control key) - thanks for any help Roger

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have been trawling the internet for at least 15 minutes now trying to find the answer to moving instead of copying on Lion. Each other answer has been long and complicated or it didn't even work in the first place.
Obviously, typing in my password every time that I want to move my files is tedious but at least it works.
I really hope that Apple fixes this flaw.
ALSO-
I found that if you go to:
System Preferences > Sharing
And then tick File Sharing
Add the folder you wish to move files around in, to 'Shared Folders' And then make sure your user has 'Read & Write' access, then you won't have to type your password or use the Copy command.
BUT, if you wish to have these files private, make sure that 'Everyone' is set to 'No Access'

Copying (not Moving) Iphoto Library

Hello!
I have my Iphoto Library on an external hard drive. I would like to COPY it to a different destination (for backup purposes).
When I tried with finder, right at the end it did not allow me to finish the operation, returning an error 'permission denied'.
The same happened with terminal (cp command).
Does anybody of you know how can I override this problem? I am not sure how to change permissions inside the library...
Many thanks

You can check and repair permissions in the Library by holding down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue.
One way around what might be an issue with a single file is to use a Back up utility such as DejaVu to create and run incremental back ups for you.

Do we have option not to refresh the data in AP invoice while copying from GRN and change the date of the invoice in SAP 9 PL 0

Hi
I have update tax details in GRPO but while copy to AP invoice system pick posting date/ document date as system date and if i change the date the screen refresh and the tax details i have updated it change. that i do not want.
Is there any option so that GRPO date will copy in ap invoice so that i need not to refresh the screen
regards
Ashish Garg

Hi,
Please provide an example for tax details. Make note on these,
1. Whenever copy GRPO to AP invoice, posting and document date is system date. This is default design system
2. If you change these dates in AP invoice, your payment to vendor leads to confusion.
For example:
You have received items on 25-03-2014. But vendor raised invoice on 03/04/2014.
Thanks & Regards,

Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record. I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean. Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related. After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours. I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume. I also erased and reformatted the TM volume. However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume". I restarted the computer with no change in results. Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup. I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive. My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB. My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours. I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination. As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty. As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing. Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way? It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like). See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem); and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

This could very well have to do with ACLs.
I bumped into the same problem:
5/8/11 10:43:22 PM com.apple.backupd[7126] Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Users/SA/Public/Drop Box/HandBrake.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/ Resources/de.lproj/SUAutomaticUpdateAlert.nib/classes.nib to /Volumes/Local Backup/Backups.backupdb/Server/2011-05-08-221524.inProgress/88ACE716-0660-44C8- A128-CF01046FC2F8/Macintosh HD/Users/SA/Public/Drop Box/HandBrake.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/ Resources/de.lproj/SUAutomaticUpdateAlert.nib
Using DD or CCC is no option for me, I don't want downtime and I want incremental backups. So I started to investigate.
I repartitioned my external Time Machine drive, did the backup again. It didn't work. Then I blocked the culprit file mentioned in the logs from being backed up with TM. That helped, only to find that a bit later it found another file with issues.
So i looked at the files an found they had ACLs on them that somehow prevented them from being copied.
SOLUTION:
remove the ACL from the file.
If you want to remove all ACLs in a directory, use Terminal and navigate to that directory. Then issue this command:
sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E ./*
If you would like to remove ACLs from a single file or package (e.g. an application), issue this:
sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E <nameoffile>
You might have to this several times since there might be multiple files affected. Unlike previous solutions, this one does not require you to delete the file.
I got the command to remove ACLs from http://osxadmin.blogspot.com/2008/01/chmod-acl-removal.html

Header data (VBAK- OID_MISCDL) is not copied to order items (VBAP-OID_MISCD

Hi Team
When I create an order with reference to another document then header data (VBAK- OID_MISCDL) is not copied into the sales order items (VBAP-OID_MISCDL) for all the copied items. But if I add a new item to this order then the value of VBAK- OID_MISCDL is copied into the new item (VBAP-OID_MISCDL) only.
Also if I create an order without any reference document then value of VBAK- OID_MISCDL is copied into the sales order item(VBAP-OID_MISCDL) if the header data VBAK- OID_MISCDL is entered before line items are added to the order.
Thanks for your help
Javed

Hi Paul
Thanks for your reply. The issue is not with the copy control. The issue is that data is not copied from a header field in sales order into line item within the same document. So while in create mode of the sales order, if I enter line item details like enter material codes and quantities and then I enter value in a header field in the same sale order then that value is not copied across to those line items that were entered before. However during creation of sales order, If I enter value in the header field first and then enter line item details in the same sales order then that header value is copied across to the line items.
Thanks

Time Machine not moving data to external hard drive.

Time Machine is excluding my external hard drive from backups. All formatting and connections seem to be correct. When I try Time Machine Preferences, my external hard drive icon appears on the "exclude" list in the options box.I can't highlight it to remove from list. So, Time Machine is not moving any data to the external drive except for a copy of the internal hard drive.
Thanks in advance,
Lenny

My guess is that your external drive uses formatting that Time Machine will not back up. Click on the drive in the finder and type Command "i" or File > Get Info to see how your drive is formatted. If it's not some flavor of MacOS Extended, Time Machine won't back up your external. If the drive is formatted correctly use the first Aid tab in Disk Utility to repair your external. Repeat the repair process until Disk Utility reports no errors.
If your drive uses FAT formatting and you need to use it to share files with a PC use some sort of PC software to back up the drive.

When I am writing an email, I get an alert message that says “The message could not be copied or moved to the drafts folder. Writing to the folder failed. To gain disc space, choose Empty Deleted and choose Compact Folders and try again.”
If I do that, I get a message saying “There was an error copying to the Sent folder,, retry?”
If I retry it sends the uncompleted email. All I can do is keep deleting the message and carry on. Then the whole business might repeat itself.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up. I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up.
I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message:
"The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."
I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily. Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ? How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD. It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go. What is my computer's name?
Please someone help! I'm completely stumped.
Thanks,
Maggie
Mac Help says:
If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
Open Time Machine preferences
Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open Disk Utility
Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available.
Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password.
On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes.
Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

The backup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk

I continually see the error message "The backup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk" when my time capsule attempts to backup. I have been receiving this message since 14/08/13. I have attempted to locate the file which is preventing the back up and I have not been able to locate it. Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

Do a verify on the local disk and on the TC..

Hello .. I've been subscribed for ic;oud for 20$ per year and I found it useless for many reasons: that I can not disconnect my mobile while the uploading process and it takes long time for uploading my data .. Its not a reliable system that's why I need to deactivate the space service and take my money back .. Thanks

The "issues" you've raised are nothing to do with the iCloud service.
No service that uploads data allows you to disconnect the device you are uploading from while uploading data. Doing so would prevent the upload from completing. It is a basic requirement for any uploading service that you remain connected to it for uploading to be possible.
The time it takes to upload data to iCloud is entirely dependent on how fast your Internet connection is, and how much data you are uploading. Both of these things are completely out of Apple's control. Whichever upload service you use will be affected by the speed of your Internet connection.
