Error code -50 when attempting to copy to G-drive

I have a new G-Drive 4T bytes.  It works fine most of the time, but if let inactive for a few hours and I try to write to it in any way I get the message: The operation can't be completed because of an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).  Any ideas what this means?  If I eject the drive then reconnect it it works fine again.

Hi, what format is the drive?
  paramErr                 
= -50,  /*error in user parameter list*/
Generally meaning an unacceptabe charachter in a filename or such, but can be a few other things.

  • Why do I get Error Code 35 when attempting to mount external hard drive?

    When I use Finder to Go, Servers, Connect to Server I am prompted to enter password. After I do that I hit Connect again which connects to the Server (Airport Extreme) and I see the external drive highlighted but then gives me Error Code 35. I had it working earlier but something is now obviously messed up. I have rebooted, restarted, hard restarted Airport, disconnected and reconnected hard drive. Help!!!! Does anyone know what Error Code 35 means on OS 10.4.11?

    Error code -35 means "No such volume; volume not found". Not terribly helpful.
    You have already tried everything I would have suggested. Maybe someone else will have some suggestions?

  • How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put things in the Trash? Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash.

    How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put items in the Trash?  Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash. I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

    The reason why some of the files are blocking the trash from emptying is because of specific ".app" files from third party companies like Adobe products. Not the user files or the various help documents but instead the actual mother program. Here's how to fix this problem:
    1) remove from the trash all the actual software programs like Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver and so on and put them on the desktop.
    2) Command "I" (info) and when the dialog box opens go to the "Name & Extension" text box and remove the ".app" from the software name. Example: Photoshop.app change to Photoshop.
    3) the program icon will change to a "folder icon".
    4) put the folder icon back into the trash and you should be able to now empty the trash.
    If you continue to get the error code 8003 it's because you may still have one or more software programs in the trash that needs to go through this process. Remember - it's not the user files or help documents or supporting files that is causing this but instead the "actual product programs".

  • Error Code 80070005 when attempting to install KB2931356

    After confirming that I am not an active victim of a virus or malware, I disable my Avast AV software and once again received Error Code 80070005 when trying to install Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008
    R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems (KB2931356).
    When I attempted to implement the solutions described in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/61ce9777-aaac-41b5-ac02-eae76759d1d3/windows-update-error-80070005 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968003/en-us, which are slightly
    different, I received the following output immediately after running the respectively prescribed Reset file.
    I know not what to do next!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Yolanda,
    Thank you very much for your concern and your assistance!
    Unless you instructor otherwise, I will implement the following steps:
    1. Download the System Update Readiness Tool from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool and run.
    2. Shutdown PC.
    3. Start PC.
    4. Disable Avast Free A/V SW.
    5. Install Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems (KB2931356).
    6. Post outcome here.
    7. If install fails, upload the cbs file (windows\logs\cbs) and windows update log (%windir%\Windowsupdate.log) here for further analysis.
    Thank you, again, for helping me.
    Sincerely,
    Jim Kochanski
     I followed all of the steps above.
    When I went to install the update, seven were available and all seven failed (see below).
    The log files were too large to cut and paste therefore you can find them at:

    I was just wondering if anyone was trying to help me with this?
    Thanks!

  • Error Code -5000 When Downloading Digital Copy of Hangover

    Has anyone received error code -5000 when trying to download the digital copy of The Hangover from the Special Edition DVD? When you put the DVD in it brings up the code redemption window in Itunes and downloads the file then at the end it says error -5000. Any ideas?

    I just figured my problem out. If you have a external hard drive (WD Smartware) you need to click the backup tab and pause backup before you enter your redemption code. This worked for me and I was getting the same error -5000. I think it gives the error because it is backing up your computer and itunes thinks your making more than one copy I guess.

  • Load error code 11 when attempting to open .vi from library

    Hello,
    Recently a colleague sent me a .llb containing a VI and sub-VIs of a program needed for my research.  The VI opens correctly but none of the sub-VIs can be found by it and when I attempt to open the sub-VIs I get load error code 11: VI version (6.0) cannot be converted to the current Labview verstion (8.5.1) because is has no block diagram. 
    I am running Vista with 8.5.1 and attempting to open a library of version 6.0.  I do not know what OS the library was compiled on.  (Linux is a possibility)  The colleague who sent me the program does not know either, as he recieved it from another colleague whom he is no longer in contact with.
    I am fairly certain the library was saved with block diagrams, so I do not think that is the source of the error.
    Does anyone know what might be a way to get these sub-VIs working?

    Okay,
    File posted.  Someone please tell me if this has a block diagram on it.

  • Getting an error code 13019 when attempting sync ipod touch to  G5 OS10.5.8

    I have updated ipod touch, hadn't synced in awhile. Had new cd music about 5 or 6 new . Also had a message, you have purchases on your ipod which are not on your computer would you like to download them. I had said yes. I think these had happened. I was waiting to copy backup cds with Toast. Toast said system in use. So I went to ipod touch, highlighted and attempted to sync. Have any ideas what this is about? Thanks in advance.My G5 is primary computer for my new IPod Touch.

    P.S. I have read other;s issues with same error code . So I deleted six voice memos even though they were not duplicated, As I had made changes to settings. I reset everything the way it had been syncing OK. No dice. Also, rebooted computer and tried again. It has accepted photos I put on yesterday. I unchecked podcasts. As my memory is getting full again.
    But, since trouble shooting, my size of music and videos has halved on ipod touch. Nobody has responded yet. Please advise. I need to decide whether to keep Mobile me. Does anyone know if I can download Mobile me to my computer with all the photos on my ipod touch. They are all gone from Computer.

  • Error code 1527 when attempting to unflatten data passed across network

    Hello all,
    I have seen a couple of post where users have had similar problems, but they are not quite the same as what I am seeing here.  I have a real-time application in which I am passing data across a network to a host for visualization of some of the data.  The data is aggregated in a class, the class is flattened to string: 
    And then, on the other side, the data is unflattened from string:
    When unflattening on the other side, I get the error code 1527: "Attempted to read flattened data of a LabVIEW class that is not currently loaded into LabVIEW."
    The bytes I send are making it across, the problem is that I am not able to read them properly.  I have tried Jarrod's suggestion (flattening to string and then to XML) but alas to no avail.   I have also tried moving the class from the dependencies into the actual list of files in the project as described here (which I don't understand why this would have any impact) but this too did not work.  Does anybody have any other thoughts? 
    Any help is appreciated.
    Peace, Matt

    Whoops!  Turns out that I did not have all of the classes loaded into the project as in this post.  I still don't fully understand this as I can write flatten and unflatten the data in a single VI in this project without having the classes explicitly loaded, but c'est la vie.  I suppose this is a mystery that the NI folks might be able to explain.  Just wish I could have my last several days back....

  • Error Code-50 when trying to copy or delete files on external hard drive

    Hi,
    I am in process of backing up large HD video files from one external hard drive to another using Carbon Copy Cloner software.  I get this error message:  "This file or folder is sitting on a bad section of hard disk media and is unrecoverable. Delete this item (i.e. in the Finder) and restore it from a known good backup, then try the backup task again."
    I have tried to delete that folder in Finder and I get error code-50, it won't delete. 
    I tried to delete individual files within folder - error code 50.
    I tried to "replace" folder with good copy from other external hard drive.  Error code-50
    I tried to "repair disk" in Disk Utility application and I get error message "cannot unmount disk." 
    NOTE:  the files in this folder are .m2ts format, from an old PC.  I converted then into .mov but want to retain originals. 
    NOTE:  I was successfully able to copy the folder from a 3rd external hard drive to the backup disk without a problem (which makes me think it's not the files/folder but has to do with the actual disk.), but cannot fix it on the original (source) disk.
    Bad disk?
    Bad files?
    How do you fix a "bad section of a hard disk"? 
    Might reformatting the entire disk fix the "bad section"?
    Any advice welcomed and appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Hi
    Error -50 paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

  • Error code -8003 when attempting to empty trash

  • QuickTime Error Code 0 when attempting to create MPEG-2 Video File

    I am getting the above error when attempting to create an MPEG-2 file from an FCP Timeline; what might cause this problem and how can I fix?

    I'm real sorry. I am just lost. So if it does allow me to access via USB, what am I doing wrong? Why am I getting this error? I tried to go in and just import the video first and I could see the files, however they were gray, so it was not an option. Then I tried dragging them from the desktop icon and received the error. What else can I try to get my video loaded in imovie? I'm still fairly new to the mac. I have had mine for a year, but am still learning and would consider myself very green still. I have always done pretty well with a PC, so I catch on pretty quickly, but I definitely need some guidance here.
