Error code mem_/2/5

Hi,
I have this error code on my Imac G3 and no software will open without immediately crashing - any advice? Do I need to get a new memory stick? I noticed there were other questions regarding an error code mem_/2/4 - is this the same problem?

Exactly. The hard drive is a spinning disk platter inside a rectangular case. What's often confusing is that hard drive uses Random Access Memory (which is also abbreviated RAM) and that can be confused in name only with the RAM boards that you would replace here if the ports for the RAM are not damaged and the RAM board is. The hard drive is where all your data is stored. However, since hard drive failure is always a possibility, backing up your data whenever possible is vitally important as my FAQ states:

Never rely on one unit to be your only data storage source.
Here's what a hard drive looks like with its cover taken off:

    Either the RAM is bad or video RAM is bad. Hopefully replacing the RAM will fix the problem.

  • Mystery Error Code...Help?

    I have had some serious issues with Kernal Panics of late and I finally got my Hardware Test to work and it came up with this error code
    mem_/2/4
    Anyone know what this means and how I can go about fixing it?
    thanks

    Similar problem, more suggestions.
    My best guess would be a RAM problem, kernel panic is usually hardware related (but there are drives, cards, peripherals, etc.).
    Have you recently added or installed any new components (internal or external)?

  • Error code and RAM

    Hi!
    I´m new here, and I´m not sure if I´m in the right forum. I have a G3 iBook, 800 MHz, OS 10.3.9. I purchased extra RAM for it about 6 months ago. I just got a whole bunch of new programs (Adobe CS2), and only trying to install them caused problems. I had other problems before, too. Programs quit unexpected, discs wouldn´t mount... So I backed up all my files and tried to reinstall the system. The computer crashed completely and wouldn´t let me log in. So I took it in for repair and was told that my harddrive broke. Got it replaced, took it home, tried to install my programs...still the same problems. Some don´t install at all, others don´t open or I can´t save anything without crashing the program. So I ran the Apple Hardware Test, which came up with the following error code: mem_/2/3DIMM1/J12. That sounds to me like the RAM that I got about 6 months ago doesn´t work. So I took it in again this morning. They tested the RAM and said it is OK.
    So what does that mean? The hardware test shows there is a problem, but the RAM is ok? Could the slot be broken? What exactly does the error code mean?
    The guys in the store weren´t very helpful and I just spend $400 on a new harddrive. Anybody any idea what´s wrong with my computer?
    Help please! :o)
    I´m desperate! I really really need a computer right now!
    Thanks!

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Yes, you've found the right forum.
    Could the slot be broken?
    This is a good possibility. Try removing the extra RAM and running with just the 128 MB. It will run pretty slowly that way, but, hopefully, will not crash if it's your RAM or RAM slot gone bad.
    To check out the RAM, did you take it to the same shop that replaced your hard drive? If so, has it occurred to you that they may have said the RAM was okay because they don't want to admit they replaced your hard drive needlessly? I would get a second opinion on whether or not the RAM is defective.

  • Cannot delete file from external hard drive (error code 36) in Finder, but Terminal is ok

    I have a relatively new Macbook Pro Retina 15" and have a Western Digital 1 TB Passport.  I've been using the passport for about a year now without any problems on older Macbooks in my house.  I used to be able to read and write to this drive no problem.  I am using the Paragon NTFS for Mac software in order to read and write to the NTFS drive.  When I navigate through the drive in Finder, if I try to create a new folder, I do not have a problem.  If I try to delete that folder I just created, I get this error:
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “untitled folder” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)
    The folder has nothing in it whatsoever.  I just created it.  But if I go to Terminal and I run
    rm -rf "untitled folder"
    This works fine.  Why is Terminal acting different than Finder?  This does not happen on my other Macbooks.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanx for such qucik reply!!! The pages were great, it had an answer for my problem, but unfortunately it also involved me dealing with it only on the MacIntosh HD itself, not on mounted external drive I suppose... So it didn't work they say that there is an icon in the left corner indicating locked folder - I don't see any icon on it. It says you can untick the box to unlock the folder - there is no tick to be unticked. Finally, they say that if I don't have permition or rights I cannot delete it. But how do i change permittion which already says that i can read and write in it? So everything appears to be normal only I cannot delete it. there is not even any warnig telling me I don't have enough rights, it just requires the password and after me typing it in it makes the sound of scraping paper but does nothing more. I aslo had some problems with emptying Trash after being seemingly succesful with one file and had got so far to have them appear in the Trash (no clue how this one actully got there though..) I followd the advice and emptied the Trash with Terminal. The Folder is still there but it shows 0 Kb... So far so good BUT: It is still on the external drive, so I obviously only managed to copy it into the Trash!!! Phew, innit a bit too tight to poor owners, this macbook?? I want my rights back!

    i know the issue,i can give quick fix, but in-order to make sure you don't get another glitch like this.
    I would recommend, you to install the scheduler in another schema or another db.
    Re-installing the scheduler schema tables will fix this.

    Check the log for the request from the manage screen of the DSO, it will be there next to the monitor button.
    Otherwise you can check the error from the monitor screen of the request in Details tab.

  • Some data in ... could not be read or written. (Error code -36).

    Hello.
    I just got a Lacie 512mb disk, and thought it would be ideal for running my iTunes library off of. Got the disk, ran it through its paces, hooked it up to my Mac mini, and I can't seem to copy hardly any files over. Here's one error (but you can replace "iTunes Library" with any song and it's the same thing)...
    'The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "iTunes Library" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).'
    So, I think there's disk or file damage, etc. I boot off an external and run Disk Utility, DiskWarrior and TechToolPro against it - everything checks out fine.
    But I can't copy files from the mini's internal to my external Repair Boot disk or the Lacie 512. Always that same -36.
    So, at first I think it's the mini, then I think it's the Lacie, because it's new, so I reformat it: same issue. And that coupled with it won't copy to my Repair Boot, makes me think the mini again.
    But, I've got a g1 iPod mini hooked up (formatted in hfsj+), and I can copy this file to the iPod mini, but no where else. I not sure what this makes me think.
    And, I can duplicate the file on the Mac mini. In fact, if it's a song file that won't copy (none of them will), I can play it just fine.
    Thanks.

    I experienced a problem in a familiar way.
    After a recording session I tried to copy the complete folder with session and sound files to another disk (original and target disk both LaCie d2 250 FW800).
    Somehow the proces stopped prompting an -36 error over some files.
    When I look up these files in the Finder, it seems to have an iTunes audio-file icon instead of a ProTools audio-file icon (and so other standard app to open with). All the other files will copy fine. The files will play with quicktime in the preview window.
    Any-one a solution?
    Almost seems like some kind of copy protection, like implied earlier in this thread. I hope it's not. These are the originals...

  • "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

    Hi all,
    I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
    It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
    "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
    iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
    message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
    movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
    This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
    times while working on the project.
    I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
    the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
    (original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
    replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
    contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
    movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
    able to copy the current project.
    Thanks for any ideas..
