Error: -9899: The partition cannot be resized.

+Error: -9899: The partition cannot be resized. Try reducing the amount of change in the size of the partition.+
I get this error everytime I try to resize selected partition. It is 340 GB volume with 115 GB of free space. I tried to make it 250 GB and I got this error. Then I tried to make it 300 GB (only 40 GB smaller - it would have much free space after that) and again - I got this error. This is external HD connected by FireWire. Neither Disk Utility nor "diskutil resizeVolume" was able to resize it. I checked the volume - there is nothing to repair. What else can I do? How can I resize it?

While you are resizing your partition, do tail -f /var/log/kernel.log or run the Console app and select kernel.log.
This will tell you why the resize is failing.
Unfortunately, it will only give you the inode number for the file or directory that is preventing the resize.
To find the file name corresponding to this inode, you can use the find command from the terminal:
$ cd /Volumes/<volume you are trying to resize>
$ find -x . -inum <the inode number from kernel.log>
Once you find the file, copy it to a different volume if you want to save it, and delete it.
Then rerun the resize operation and it should succeed. If it doesn't, repeat the above procedure until you are successful.

Error [0x80070003] The system cannot find the path specified

We have Windows 2012 Server hosting 2 VMs - Domain Controller & RDS. We have been doing Windows Server Backup incremental and have an ongoing issue with scheduled backups each night. The backup shows completed with warnings and generates
2 log files.
The first log files shows:

We had been getting a successful backup once or twice a week which showed completed (with no mentioned of warnings) but now it regularly shows completed with warnings as noted above.
We did a manual full backup of the DC to a different external drive a few days ago and that completed without warnings and the backup shows: E: Completed 63.38 Full - VSS Copy Backup Successful, 8/27/13 3:35 PM - 4:43 PM. Data Transferred 63.38
On a side note, we can view the logs in the windows/logs/windowsserverbackup directory but when we attempt to view the details of a log file through the Local Backup Console for any log which shows completed with errors, we get a "MMC has detected an
error in the snapin and will unload and then it shows Object referenced not set to instance of an object." The manual backup noted above that was successful is able to be viewed through the Local Backup Console without this error.
Any idea as to why this is failing during the scheduled backups? This hosts a database that we need to have regular successful backups.

Hi,
First please follow the steps below to re-register dll files. Detailed information could be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940032:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after you type each command.
3. cd /d %windir%\system32
4. Net stop vss
5. Net stop swprv
6. regsvr32 ole32.dll
7. regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
8. regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
9. vssvc /register
10. regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
11. regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
12. regsvr32 es.dll
13. regsvr32 stdprov.dll
14. regsvr32 vssui.dll
15. regsvr32 msxml.dll
16. regsvr32 msxml3.dll
17. regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Please let us know if any command failed to be performed with an error.
If issue still exists, have a try with the step it provided "VSSADMIN Resize ShadowStorage" to enlarge the shadow storage.
Also you could test to delete all old Shadow Copies by acccessing <Drive> Properties --> Shaodow Copies --> Delete Now. This will remove all your backup information so if it is not acceptable, just skip this step.

How do I fix this error: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at ... Error 32 The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.(Seq 1352). ?

I am installing creative the cloud Illustrator desktop app on a machine with windows 7 64 bit running in a domain environment.

How can I see what other process is using the needed file so that I can fix it?
Thanks

MelissaB34 it looks like you already are reviewing your installation log files but you can find more information at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html. From the error you have posted it appears that your current User account is either unable to update C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\AdobeLinguistic.dll or does not have sufficient file permissions to do so. Since you mentioned you are on a domain please ensure that you are working with your I.T. department and have correct access to this directory.
You may want to also consider logging in under a local administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties. This would help you determine if you are facing a file corruption issue or file permission issue.

Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
To do this:
1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

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.

When i connect my ipod shuffle to itunes i get an error message the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found anyone have this happen? How do i get past it?

I seem to recall that this may be cause by overloading the USB bus (lack of power to go around). Shut down your computer. Reset the iPod shuffle using this procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Disconnect ALL peripheral USB devices, including keyboard and mouse. Power up the computer. If you need your mouse, connect it and launch iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle to a direct USB port and try the sync again. See if there is any difference.
