Error -50 when attempting to delete a file

I am using Time Machinehave to back up to a 1Tb drive connected via USB to to my router, ... when attempting to delete old backups I get the error code -50. Cant find a reference to it, so can anyone help??

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • Error message when attempting to export master file?

    I am running Mavericks and have FCP 10.1
    When I try to export a master file, I keep receiving the error message "The share operation master file has failed.  An error occurred when creating frame ..... (error -1)."
    I've turned off background rendering, I've tried copy and pasting entire timeline into a new project, and I've tried deleting project and event rendering files.
    At this point, I don't know what else to do.
    Help?

    Returning to when you turned off BG Renderiing and deleted project and event renders, did you delete all renders? And before you tried exporting, did you leave BG Rendering off and did you try exporting without manually rendering?

    I did delete all renders. I did not manually render anything. BG Rendering off, I clicked export master file and that was all.

    Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button.  Also get error message on launch:  An error occurred when attempting to change modules.  I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files:  System Library/Application Support/Adobe.  Any ideas?  I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro.  This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens.  Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for attempting to help.  I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem.  Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem.  I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom.  The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery.  Only a few days left on my trial version!  I hope I have time to try it out!

    Problems converting PDF to MS Word document.  I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file.  I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure.  I attempted to convert the entire document and same result.  I specifically purchased the export to Word feature.  Please assist.  I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
    I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
    I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
    I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!

  • Getting an internal error when attempting to delete a certificate

    When attempting to delete a certificate on one of our servers using the Windows Azure Managment Portal we receive an error "The server encountered an internal error. Please retry the request. The long running operation tracking ID was: 33c70589cc21ba74903d8e7bffe7868b."
    We have been able to delete this certificate on other servers and have been able to delete other certificates on this server. Is there anything we can do to get rid of this certificate?

    hi,
    >>We have been able to delete this certificate on other servers and have been able to delete other certificates on this server
    What service certificate you attempted to delete? Cloud service or VM ? Did your delete the certificate by connecting RDP to VM  before delete certificate on Azure portal? I need confirm those information.

    Hi Will,
    Thanks for looking at this, to answer your question it's a Cloud Service certificate, and we only attempted to delete the certificate in the portal. Is there any other info we

  • TS3212 I have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Another "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" error

    Hello all:
    After using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Mac OSX trouble free for the past 6 months, I opened up Lightroom today and received the following error: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules." I had not made any changes in between when it worked normally and when the error started to occur. I beleive the last thing I did before this error occurred was to go into the Print Module.
    Other information--I keep all my RAW .NEF files on an external Firewire (800) 750 GB drive. This is on Mac OS X 10.5 running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3 and also with 1.4.1. I'm running an iMac 20" with dual-core 2.2 Ghz Intel processors and 4 GB of RAM. I have around 25k images total.
    When I noticed this problem, I was on Lightroom 1.3. I immediately upgraded to 1.4.1, which did not solve the problem. I have also tried many suggestions in the forums including uninstalling the application and removing the .plist file.
    I thought I had come up with a solution by creating a new catalog, then importing the former into it. While this seems to work immediately after the import process, as soon as I close it, the problem manifests itself again.
    More details that may or (likely) may not help:
    - Going to the Develop and Print Modules gives me no problems. However, when I click on Library, Slideshow, or Web, I see the error.
    - I upgraded my Mac to the latest patch level after observing this error to no avail.
    So it looks like my choices are to create a new file and reimport every single time, or lose all of the work I've done for the past 6 months on thousands of images.
    Can anyone please help???? I promise to post the solution when we fix this darn thing so others may benefit. I'd be happy to run through any troubleshooting that y'all would suggest outside of switching to a Canon.
    Thanks!!!!
    Matt

    I'd first check for the existence of a file ending in .lock, which should be present when LR is in use, but if it exists when LR is quit, it can cause problems, and should be deleted.
    Please post back your results.

  • 2011 iMac: An error occurred when attempting to change modules

    Hello,
    Just got a new 2011 iMac.  Installing both 3.4 and 3.3, after completely removing all data, constantly results in "
    An error occurred when attempting to change modules"
    I've tried removing the .plist as others have suggested, but that has not worked.
    Any advice would be great.

    FIXED
    I did two things:
    1.  I deleted the files for "Portraiture for Lightroom".
    2.  Installed on a different computer and copied the "Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom" and ".../Camera Raw" directories.
    After reinstalling, it worked.

  • 1.3 Update Error "An error occurred when attempting to change modules"

    Good evening,
    Recently updated to 1.3, and now, when starting, Lightroom won't open up a catalog. When I go t manually do this (File-Open), I get this error:
    An error occurred when attempting to change modules
    Sometimes, I can get the program to display, but it is blank (no photos) and when I select a different module, I get the same error code.
    I have tried:
    - Deleting preferences
    - Opening a backup file
    Neither one works.
    Any ideas? We can do nothing at this point with Lightroom.
    Many thanks,
    Brett

  • I have Lightroom 5 installed on my MacBook Air but when I try to open the program I receive the message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  I uninstalled, emptied trash and re-installed but I continue to get the same message.

    I have Lightroom 5 installed on my iMac which I downloaded (uploaded?) to my MacBook Air (via wi-fi) but unlike the iMac, I'm unable to use the program on the MacBook Air.  When I open the program on the iMac and click 'file', (as people using the program would know) there are 21 options - import pics, export, etc, etc - however, in the version on the MacBook Air, opening 'file' gives me four options - New Catalogue, Open Catalogue, Page Setup and Printer - and with that comes the pop-up message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  Any ideas please?

    A forum thread from 3 years ago talking about LR 1.x which had this problem seems to need permissions fixed or new folders created with the corrected permissions.  You might try doing a repair permissions for your user and/or run LR as an administrator user.  I am a PC person so cannot tell you exactly how to do that.

  • Error message when trying to delete a conditional tag.

    When attempting to delete a conditional tag, the following error occurred and then the program closed down:
    0x00ca1940/ 0x00000000
    Anyone come across this error. In addition, I have had similar errors occurred when resizing graphic frames. Once the error occurs, the program shuts down.

    Paul,
    It might help if you let us know which version and build of FM that
    this happened in.
    Was the tag still in use throughout the document when you tried to
    delete the condition? Did you get any prompts about deleting the
    condition?

  • Lightroom 4: An error occurred when attempting to change modules.

    I downloaded Lightroom 4 a few days ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro. Everything worked great. I thought it would overwrite Lightroom 3, but it didn't. So Lightroom 3 is still installed, but I haven't opened it since I installed Lightroom 4.
    I downloaded Lightroom 4.3 this morning and installed it on the same MacBook Pro.  Using my MacBook Pro and a second monitor, I opened Lightroom 4.3 and worked on some photos. Everything worked great.
    Then I began watching a slideshow in the Lightroom 4.3 slideshow module on the second monitor with my MacBook Pro in the library module. During the slideshow I clicked on the slideshow module on my MacBook Pro and got this error message:
    An error occurred when attempting to change modules.
    Now I can’t get into the slideshow module. I just get the error message.
    I moved the preferences file to the trash and reopened Lightroom 4 but lost color labels, so I put it back in the preferences folder.
    Thanks for your help

    I called Adobe and let them fiddle online with Lightroom on my MacBook Pro. The Adobe tech claims I have a corrupt permissions file. He told me to contact Apple and have them rebuild my permissions file.
    When I contacted Apple, the tech said to startup my MackBook Pro with the option key held down until the first screen appears. Then click on: Recovery HD, arrow, Language, Disk Utility, Macintosh HD, Repair Disk Permissions.
    I did this three times, but some permissions were not repaired. Another Apple tech then suggested I bring my MackBook Pro to a Macintosh authorized repair shop, and have them repair my permissions file. I asked if I can buy Norton Utilities or a similar program and do it myself. The Apple tech said yes, but an authorized repair person will know which permissions to repair and which ones not to touch.
    Unless someone on this forum can tell me how to do this repair myself, I’ll get it repaired next week. And, I’ll post the results as soon as I can.

  • An error occurred when attempting to change modules Lightroom 5 CC

    I've seen other users pose this question but haven't seen any solutions that work for me.  I get the error: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" when I open up Lightroom 5 on one user, but on another user it opens up fine.  I've tried moving and trashing preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling the program.  It's the same whether I open an existing catalog or try to open Lightroom while creating a new project.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This occured after updating to Mavericks on a 2011 iMac.  All other Creative Cloud apps seem to have installed just fine.

    Hi 99jon,
    Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
    Ref  Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
    Ref  Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
    Ref  Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
    Ref  Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
    Ref  Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
    Ref  Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
    Not sure what else to do.
