Error -43 when trying to move/delete/rename a file.

I have two files on my computer, each within a folder inside a folder. The outer folder can be renamed and moved, but no contents can be renamed, moved or deleted.
Whenever I try to delete or move or rename any of the internal files I get an Error -43. I know it's not permissions since it won't let me change them, but the permissions show up as fine. If I try anything else I just get the error. If I put them in the trash it empties the trash but the files remain.
Any idea? I'm using OS X 10.4.8.

I can't seem to make the post with the title so I
took a screen shot
Aah. The old Adobe License file, I bet. I managed to delete mine, but I forget how. I did a quick Google search, though, and turned up someone who had this same problem and fixed it by running fsck in single user mode. Unfortunately, the site is down right now for an upgrade...
Apple's Knowledge Base has an article about running Disk Utility to fix disk problems. I think running Disk Utility (you have to boot from your install disc for it to be able fix the disk) is the same as running fsck from single user mode.

    Bummer. I'm not really doing this for speed though, just for total storage volume and constant, worry-free, no-brainer back-up. I guess RIAD in general is something I need to study up on. Would a simple mirror of one 500GB drive to another (back-up) - and do that twice - be a better, more reliable way to go?
    I've used Tri-Backup3/4 for years for Backups, it's fast, automatic, reliable, works in the background if you wish...
    Back-up software always seemed to have some kind of a hiccup to it, but I'll certainly look into Tri-Backup3/4. I used to Retrospect years ago, a rather fussy thing if I recall.
    Now, on the Safe Mode boot - not a success BUT a different result!
    I got the -36 again, but this time it was the external drive FILE that errored, not the OS-resident drive.
    In other words, pre-Safe Mode the error said "...because some data in "ZillaHAL" could not be read or written." (ZillaHAL is my OS-X drive).
    In Safe, it read, "...because some data in "WinXP Pro.vmem" could not be read or written."
    "WinXP Pro.vmem" is the virtual machine file - which basically is a simple Mac volume (folder) containing all of the files to run my XP virtual machine.
    Also, this time, a file* did manage to remain on the external drive whereas before, after the error, no file at all remained.
    * a generic icon appears, but it shows a size of 16+GBs. The actual file is 18.13GB - I did manage to shrink it down the other day (from it's previous 25GB).
    Well, that's it for now. I'll be away for three days, so don't mind me if I cannot reply back for a spell.

  • Error message when trying to move audio file from iTunes to iPhone 4s

    I have an audio file I'm trying to put on my iPhone 4s. I can open it with iTunes, but when I try to move it to my iPhone, I just get a message that it can't be moved "because it can't be played on this iPhone." My itunes and iphone are both up to date. I have iCloud activated but nothing has moved to my iPhone either

    Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating.  (even before you start coding).  The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious. 
    I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid".   The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings.  (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname).  After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad. 
    I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive.  Could have saved me a whole day.
    I hope this helps others.  But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

  • Error code when trying to move capture scratch files

    I tried moving the capture scratch files for 10 interview files I have created from my documents to my external hard drive. I was able to move the render files without any problem but each time I try to drag a capture file from my documents and place it in the capture folder on my external hard drive I get the following error " Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. Error Code (0)."
    The external drive still has 261 GB empty, so not sure what the problem is.

    What would be the best way to approach this. Can I buy a firewire external hard drive and connect both it and the USB drive to my computer and move files from the USB drive to the firewire drive? And also move the capture files to the firewire drive?
    Will my local apple store be a good place to buy the correct drive?
    Thanks for working me through this.

  • Getting "java.lang.NullPointerException" error message when trying to run an OATS OpenScript file from Eclipse to Create a record in Oracle EBS

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run a simple OpenScript script in Eclipse that creates a record (a Supplier in this case) in Oracle E-Business Suite. So I copied the the script file from OpenScript and created it as a Class in Eclipse.  Then I created a main class to call the methods within the script class but no matter what method I call (initialize, run or finalize) I'm getting the java.lang.NullPointerException message. The error doesn't seem to be related with any specific line in the script but with the way that I'm calling it.
    Should I call the OpenScript class from my main class in a different way? (see my examples below)
    BTW, all external .jar files coming with OATS have been added to my project in Eclipse.
    1) Here's the main class I created to call the OpenScript method (Eclipse auto-corrected my main class adding a Try and Catch around the method call):
    public class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            nvscript nvs = new nvscript();
            try {
                nvs.initialize();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
    2) Here's the script from OpenScript (the actual script has more steps but I'm just using the first one for a proof of concept):

    Any help and/or constructive comment will be appreciated it.
    Thanks.

    UPDATE
    Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?
    Thanks.

  • "Error 1 when trying to open and read datalog file from several subVi's

    So, I've been coding up this model based controller and have hit a snag:
    The program starts and opens a datalog file and passes the refnum to two loops.
    At a regular time interval (every 2 minutes), one loop (that's iterating once per second) writes the current information to a datalog file.
    Meanwhile, another loop (that's iterating continuously) checks to see if the file is big enough to support training of the model, if it is, then the training process begins. Once this happens a period of recent information is read from the file. Initially, this read would fail and return 0 data. However, this problem was fixed by passing in the data file path rather then the refnum and having the vi open,
    read, and close the data file. With the path, the vi was able to read all the data. However, still in the same loop, another vi downstream tries to read the file and returns error code 1, and no data is read. I tried passing that vi the path and seeing if it made any difference to open, read and close the file. But even then the read failed (with error code 1).
    I don't understand why it can read in one vi and not the other!
    Does anyone know what is going on here? It seems that semaphores would probably solve the problem, but would prefer a simpler solution. Thank you very much.

    Try passing the data to the continuous loop through a LV2-style global. That way you are only access the file in one place. But then that begs the question, if the data is passed internally, do you really need the file at all?

    Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
    You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.

  • Error message when trying to import Quicktime movies

    All of the sudden, I'm getting this weird error message when trying to import various Quicktime movies. I've never seen this message before:
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
    Any thoughts why this might be happening? Any input would be appreciated.

    I now see that two of them have been encoded using the AAC, Sorenson Video 3 codec which is not one I've seen before so I suspect that would be it.
    The other one I'm having trouble with is encoded using Integer (Big Endian), Animation. I know I've seen the Integer (Big Endian) codec before so do you think that because it's animation that's a problem? I imported several other uncompressed files that were encoded with Integer (Big Endian) that worked fine so that's my suspicion.
    Tom, you've always been very helpful on these boards for my questions. Thank you so much.
