Error 50/53 and other related numbers

Hello, yesterday my ipod classic started having trouble playing songs. It would attempt to play some songs and struggle to do so. If it did manage to play the song, it would only manage a few seconds before skipping to the next song that it could easily play. I figured it just needed a little reset and did so but the ipod still had problems. Then I tried synching it with iTunes but no improvement. Then, I decided to restore it and start from scratch.
It started synching and after awhile, it would stop short and say X song couldn't be copied to the ipod because of an unknown error: -53 (50 and other numbers have also appeared). Now I've done some searching already and tried numerous things already but nothing helps the situation. The most recent thing I tried was suggested here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539 and that didn't work. I then tried restoring the ipod and checking for hard drive errors, which it would detect and promptly fix but the ipod still failed to synch.
However, after going through topics here and searching online, I have narrowed it down somewhat. While slowly synching songs by the smaller playlists (as my library has about 7000 songs), the ipod seemed to have no trouble as songs were copied quickly and without issue. But once I broke 1000 songs, it started struggling again. There were no error messages yet but I do believe the problem lies with the amount of data it's trying to copy. The only problem is, I have a 160 GB Ipod Classic so there shouldn't be any issue regarding available space. Even in iTunes, it says I have over 118 GB of data available if I were to copy the entire library. I recently found this topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4171036?tstart=0  but it seems to apply to Windows 7 instead of Windows 8 so I don't know for sure if a disk quota is the issue. Also, I have no idea on how to check the disk quota on Windows 8 (if I can check it at all).
I really don't want to shell out $250 for a new ipod unless all options are exhausted. I'd take it to the Apple Store but my Applecare+ warranty already expired and if I recall, I can't purchase a new one. Can anyone help me? Please?

An addendum. After it got hung up around 1000 songs, I disconnected it and it turned out to have lost all of the songs already on it from the failure.

  • Audio midi sync error in logic and other apps

    hey everybody,
    after a system update, all my audio apps freakout when they have to playback midi channels. audio tracks work perfectly in all apps i use but using midi just clips the cpu meter all the way. in live for example which i use 100% midi, droputs and digital distortion will occur alsmost as soon as i press play. in logic it will take a few more seconds until the audio sync error appears asking me to check external devices. the thing is, although i usually output to my mbox 2, i have disconnected everything i use and have been trying it with the built in outputs and it's still happening.
    please note all of this was not happening before the update and the exact same projects played back fine before. i'm positive it's something to do with midi. for example ableton live has been creating text files to its preferences folder titled midijitter etc. etc.
    thanks for any bits help!
    cheers

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. The problem happened after a system update (few days ago). I don't know which update caused this.(I updated several applications )
    I re-installed Mac OS. I updated everything that the system updater suggested. And finally I tested with my applications. The problem still continues:
    Sibelius, Pro Tools (and other applications using midi) can't play midi files correctly.
    I also tested Quicktime; It can't play midi files correctly.
    Thanks

  • CRL errors in RDP and others

    I've been trying for a couple of days now to troubleshoot revocation list errors in RDP and broken chain problems in VCenter server. I'm sure it's a misconfiguration on the enterprise subordinate CA, but I cannot find out where.
    I've read many other posts and solutions on this forum, but no resolve yet.
    We have an offline standalone Root CA running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, and a Domain joined subordinate CA.
    Creating the template and issuing the RDP certs works fine, but upon connection we get a
    "a revocation check could not be performed for the certificate" for internal domain joined clients. Creating certificates for VCenter server also squawks about a broken chain.
    Maybe cert chain is still looking for the RootCA to be online?
    The AIA and CDP locations are http, and reachable from the client. If anyone can help, here is the output from the certutil -verify command from one of the many affected clients:

  • Recently I have not been able to post comments and other related issues.

    On some websites like Reddit.com I am usually no longer able to post in comment boxes. I can type my comment in the box, but hitting save clears the box and no comment is posted (oddly, i noticed that the comment ends up at the end of the url).
    Or use the cursor to click on up and down vote arrows. When I mouse over the arrow, it changes to a hand with pointed finger, but clicking the link does nothing.
    Or post photos.
    Normally I use Firefox 29.0.1 (which I have been using a long time and do not want to change). But the problems I mention here apply to both browsers, depending... on other things I cannot control or figure out. But at the moment, I can use links for comments etc. on IE8 (cannot update), but not on FF.
    I've asked Reddit help but so far nobody has replied (r/bugs and r/help).

    Sounds that you are blocking JavaScript.
    Do you have security software that might be blocking JavaScript?
    Just to be sure: Java and JavaScript are different languages.
    To avoid confusion, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
    *http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    Firefox also stores personal data in the Firefox profile folder in two locations (main profile and cache files, see about:cache).

    */Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/&lt;profile&gt;/Cache

  • Audio buzz and video cut-out caused by volume shadow service errors during updates and other services that create shadow copies

    I have this issue and see throughout the Internet that my problem is shared by large numbers of other Windows 7 users, and a few Windows 8 users.
    I also see that Microsoft has not addressed the issue.
    I've been troubleshooting the problem for 13 months and across 3 separate hard drives on 2 separate computers, with the help of tech escalation from both Carbonite and Dell (whom I wanted to eliminate as causes, and who have been kind enough to assist even
    after being eliminated as causes because they evidently care about customer service).
    Over 13 months we have run system diagnostics, reinstalls and repairs to no avail.  We have been able to reproduce the event in the absence of every attached device, every installed program, every subscribed service, and every hardware type and configuration. 
    We have visited chat rooms showing that this is a widespread problem (e.g., http://superuser.com/questions/630033/audio-video-glitch-when-shadow-copy-service-starts), and that even professional server administrators simply consign themselves to VSS being "the
    bane of backup software" (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/229743-problem-with-vss-writer-system-writer-timed-out).
    Yet regardless of the computer or the configuration, the problem persists.  It causes characteristic and alarming disk write error and memory spikes on the Resource Monitor that can be traced to huge numbers on the System 4 and VSSVC.exe processes, occurring
    every time the Volume Shadow Copy Service and Application Experience create a restore point during an automatic update of Adobe, antivirus, etc.; and one can even provoke an event simply by manually creating a restore point, which has the bonus of triggering
    an 8220 notice that the Volume Shadow Service has run out of time while deleting files.  And the only advice I've seen from MS is that this is a "normal condition."
    It is not normal to be unable to enjoy audio and video.  And it is certainly not normal for one's PC to continually degrade with every update until it becomes unable to update and must be replaced. 
    I am on my 3rd computer with this problem (different type and configuration each time), and Dell has offered me an upgrade to Windows 8 in the hopes that the problem will not recur there.  But I see from Microsoft's tech chat that Windows 8 users are reporting
    the problem as well (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-pictures/after-upgrading-to-windows-8-pro-there-is-an/813432c2-14f1-463f-bba3-ad322ceb6e00).
    Please, please post a real answer to this problem.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    Above all I understand the frustration as a same issue persists for a very long time.
    At first I'm thinking if it is directly related to the application CrashPlan some customers mentioned in one of the threads you provided. However I then noticed that you said it could be also reproduced by creating a System Restore point.
    Currently I cannot find a Windows 7 system so I used a Windows 8.1 laptop (also Dell) for testing.
    I tried to play an online video and also a local video with creating a restore point in the middle. However I failed to reproduce the same behavior. 
    The following screenshot was captured in second test (play a local video):
    I cannot confirm if it is because we have a large physical memory (8GB), or Windows 8.1 resolved this issue. From the screenshot, memory is not spiked (actually it is almost not changed).
    So in current situation you can test to enlarge the size of physical memory (and virtual memory) for test if available. And as Dell provided a Windows 8 system, you can try it before and after installing Windows 8.1.
    As a support engineer I also hope to help fix the issue or at least find out the cause. Later I will try to find a Windows 7 system for testing as well. 
    In addition, please understand that as the issue occurs mostly in Windows 7, though it seems related to VSS, it is still a Windows client system issue. So you can post the question to Windows 7 forum for further information. Here is the link:

  • Mail app keeps crashing (and other related problems)

    A few days ago, my Mail app began crashing on seemingly unrelated events, so I assume my data got corrupted. I won't explain all the scenarios because it's a complete mess. To keep it simple, I have only 2 accounts and they are both on Gmail, so no backups are needed. I'd like to try doing a complete wipe of all data that the Mail app uses and that should fix it.
    What files/folders does Mail use? So far, I've found:
    ~/Library/Mail
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    I've also seen someone mention ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, but I don't have this file.
    After deleting the above and creating my mail accounts, the crashes are back. The only possibilities I can think of are:
    1. I haven't deleted EVERYTHING owned by Mail yet. <-- What other files/folders belong to the Mail app?
    2. Mail is depending on something else on my system that is broken.
    3. Mail app itself somehow became corrupted.
    4. Something being synced from my Gmail is not properly being handled, resulting in a crash.
    When this started happening (if it helps):
    1 day after installing the OS X update 10.8.3 as well as MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update v1.1, my MBP froze as soon as I loaded League of Legends. This was followed by a reboot as I couldn't Cmd+Tab out of the game. I wasn't aware of the Force Close App shortcut at the time, so I used the power button. That was the only time this happened, and it has worked fine a few times after the updates were applied and also worked after the reboot following the freeze. Since that time, I have encountered another issue where just about all of my apps crashed simultaneously -- no 3D-accelerated apps were even running this time.
    Since then, I've updated VirtualBox from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10 (seemed like something that could cause this weirdness as I always have a VM running) and have not had any problems except Mail crashing all the time.
    This question is primarily about fully resetting the Mail app to clean settings/data, but any thoughts on what may have happened are also welcome

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • P/N, S/N, and other battery numbers - 0A36303 for W510 70++

    I recently bought a 9-cell/70++ replacement battery for my 4318 W510, so I'm trying to confirm that it's proper for the system and a legitimate Lenovo product. I don't see any obvious errors, but I can only find one Lenovo document (an environmental waste form) that matches the various P/Ns that I see -- reassuring, but because I'm both cautious and curious, I'm hoping to learn more about all of the different numbers that appear on the box, the battery proper, and in the power manager. Any help much appreciated! (I have pictures if needed, but figured to start here.)
    Box
    P/N 0A36303 (no matching numbers; it's the # that Lenovo recommends and the one I used for the purchase)
    S/N PCHZ412 (no matching numbers)
    Manufacture Date 2014-09-11 (vs 2014-09-04 in power manager)
    Battery
    FRU P/N 45N1173 (matches power manager)
    ASM P/N 45N1006 (matches battery barcode)
    Barcode 11S45N1006Z1ZS14494R8E (matches battery ASM; matches power manager)
    Also on the barcode sticker: KC 2014.09 (if a manufacturing date, seems good, but not sure!)
    Power Manager
    Manufacture Date 2014-09-04 (vs 2014-09-11 on box)
    First used date 2014-11
    Serial Number 26414 (no matching numbers)
    Barcode 1ZS14494R8E (matches battery)
    FRU 45N1173 (matches battery)

  • Can't log off/restart, and other related issues.

    I wrote the following with a lot of detail, intending to give it straight to Apple... but I don't think they have an option for that. Let me know if I'm wrong. Also, excuse my numbering scheme - it was trimming out my spaces and I wanted to preserve the layout somehow. =[
    This all starts with my MacBook having been on for is that, when I open my MacBook and it comes back from sleep, I see the usual black screen. It brings up the unlock dialog, but that disappears almost instantly. Neither moving the cursor nor pressing keys brings it back. However, sleeping the laptop again and then reopening it shows the dialog normally. However, after then, I've noticed the following other symptoms after that point (until restart):
    1) Gmail Notifier (in the menu bar) stops updating, even when "Check now" is clicked manually. Restarting the program doesn't fix this.
    2) Screensaver doesn't come on automatically or with hot corner, only when "test" is pressed in the screensaver preference.
    3) Not closing applications before logging out or shutting down produces an error (after a delay of a couple minutes) about the OS not being able to close the applications. However, they all appear to be closed (no white dot, right clicking on them doesn't show "Not Responding"). At that point, opening the programs and closing them manually seems to prevent the error message for that program. Then, ... (see next item)
    4) Even if all applications are closed manually beforehand, it doesn't shut down or log off. A few observations:
    a) Everything but the dock goes disappears.
    b) Dashboard/expose/desktop hot keys and keyboard shortcuts still work.
    c) Clicking a dock item brings the menu bar back, but doesn't reactivate Finder (or show the desktop icons, consequently).

    I'm having this exact same problem, except I don't use GMail Notifier. The being unable to log out, shut down, or restart issue I've had intermittently in the past; the broken screensaver is new.

  • Lightroom and preview cache and other related issues.

    So I went to open up LR on Friday afternoon (1/30/15) and it wouldn't open. I can't think of anything I had done differently to it, nothing new with my computer. But when I clicked to open it, I got a screen that read, "The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 5 Catalog' cannot be opened because another application already has it opened." I sought some outside advice. I made sure there was nothing even open in the task manager (after having already shut down and re-booted my computer a couple of times) and then opened my most recent backup catalog. I also deleted the "lock" file.
    I was then able to import new photos to LR, but noticed that one folder was missing--the one from 1/29/15. That is likely the last folder I was working in before this whole mess started. After doing some clicking, I could see that those pictures were still in a catalog and on my hard drive, but I could not open a catalog with them in it. If I tried, I got a screen that read, "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit."  On the advice of a computer guy and with the reassurance that I can always restore if necessary, who told me to delete the preview cache file. I thought that's what I did, but now I'm not sure. I deleted a huge file folder entitled "Lightroom 5 Catalog previews.lrdata.  This did allow me to open LR, but I had a few days' worth of missing folders and decided to restore what I had just done and seek advice again. Now I'm being asked this if I want to merge the deleted folder with a previews folder from 8/23/13.
    Do I want to merge these? The August 2013 date is about the time I purchased LR. I have done nothing since seeing this.  So I first ask if I should merge these and restore the files OR just keep the deleted previews folder in the recycle bin, then have LR find the missing folders.  And secondly, what the heck happened to make this happen in the first place?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Thank you for your reply.  Very simple and helpful!
    However, I am now a bit lost as my catalog is messed up.  I am missing folders in the catalog that I have open.  When I helped LR find them on my hard drive, I got a popup question that read, "The selected folder or one of its subfolders is already in Lightroom.  Do you want to combine these folders.  I clicked "Merge" and then the folder completely disappeared from the list of folders.  I still see it in the correct place on my hard drive, but I can't get to it from LR now.  I assume those missing folders (and another folder full of pics I imported but now don't see listed in the catalog) are in another catalog as I think I have been working with the backup catalog that I opened at the beginning of this whole mess.  Can you help me get everything current and in one catalog again?  Thank you.

  • Dual display color and other related issues...

    I have posted this on painter forums, though some of the issues coming together here are directly related to issues w/ Snow Leopard and dual displays. Thought I would try here....
    This is so bizarre. When I ever I run P11(I think this is going on in P10 too?) w/ the OS X (snow leopard, 10.6.2 on quad core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, 10 GB of RAM) menu bar on my Eizo(making it the main display), and the Apple Cinema display left as the #2 monitor, I get very annoying brush cursor artifcats left randomly on the Eizo screen after strokes. One cannot predict when the cursor will leave it's gray "marks", but it will do it, sometimes 5 strokes in a row, sometimes after 15 strokes or so? If I move my brush back over them, or change the image percantage view, they vanish, obviously new ones coming back, as I work.
    However I put the OS menu bar on the AC display, yet work back on the Eizo, this does NOT happen. No cursor artifacts. Well, at least I can summon the issue
    The reason I am doing this is Snow Leopard has bad color issues w/ dual displays (well documented, much to Photoshop CS4 users frustrations, and mine). Apple needs to fix it... but for me to see the right color on the Eizo(this is my main color and superior display), it needs to be the main monitor(menu bar) in 10.6.2.
    So, you can see my trap - Accurate color, or annoying cursor artifacts left on the screen (sorry, it really bugs me as I work) as I work in Painter.
    Attempted fixes: Trashed all of Painter's prefs, all of Wacom's Intuos 4(latest driver) prefs and software, switched plug ins on the back of the mac for the displays(lots of restarts), ran cache cleaning Cocktail and DiskWarrior, etc. -- no change, as I can duplicate the issue w/ the above set up. A sidebar or maybe be very related note: I have an iMac w/ max amount of ram (model not very old -- maybe 1 or 2 old) and I have had a long standing issue working on the iMacs we have had w/ this brush cursor artifact problem (in Leopard and Snow Leopard). I am on one monitor w/ the iMac, so you know here the menu bar is...hmmmmmmmm.....?
    Thanks!, T

  • Satellite Pro A10: Error loading drivers and other things

    hi.
    I have just bought a spare A10 from ebay. I already have an A10 and its the business. On Powering up the new A10, I have a message bubble from microsoft saying that it was unable to load the drivers for the cd recording software, please update the drivers. If I click on the bubble it tells me to update real player, roxio or some other recording software.
    As I haven't put any on and there was none on there when bought. Its not broken, Its just annoying. Also when I right click anywhere on the desktop, in the coloum that appears, i get a link to a adult site, how can i get rid of this?
    I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and would be grateful if you could help.
    Jack.

    Hi Jack,
    I suggest you check what is actually being started when you boot your new A10 using MSCONFIG. This will then let you stop those tasks which you do not want from being started up and should prevent your error message being displayed.
    I also suggest you download and install a copy of AdAware from http://www.lavasoft.com (and possibly also SpyBot from http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html ) and do a full check of your new A10 to remove any nasties that may be lurking there.
    It sounds as if the previous owner has removed some of the software that they had installed but have not fully cleaned up afterwards.
    Finally, I personally use a freeware utility call CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ which is excellent at removing bits and pieces left over on my notebook. It needs to be treated with some caution because it is quite a powerful utility but it is very quick and thorough.
    regards,

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Vista Recovery - Physical memory dump w/ error code 0x000000F4 (and others)

    Hello Everyone, 
    This is my first time posting in the forums so I hope that I have chosen the appropriate area and will do my best to be brief but informative. 
    Computer: HP Pavilion dv6000
    Operating System: Windows Vista.
    For the past 6-8 months it has been unable to perform Windows Update citing that the most likely reason was a virus. I have tried numerous trouble shooting options when it was recommended that I perform a chkdsk. After initiating a chkdsk in Command Prompt, my computer restarted and had a black screen with no cursor. After watching this for 2 hours and realizing that none of the usual chkdsk progress or text was coming up I made the decision to force shut down.
    When I rebooted, I was told to enter system recovery which I did and completed a system recovery from the hard drive. After the system recovery finished and the laptop restarted, I experience a Blue Screen of Death due to a physical memory dump. The error codes are STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8006671040, 0xFFFFFA8006671278, 0xFFFFF80001D01DA0). 
    I am not able to boot in safe mode. In the start up repair, I am able to enter command prompt from which I started chkdsk again. Both chkdsk f/ and chkdsk r/ passed with no errors. Additionally, the computer passed both UEFI Hard Drive and Memory tests. I have system recovery CDs for the computer but they fail at 78% completion.
    Please let me know if you have any questions or require anymore information. I would appreciate any and all advice!
    Thank you!
