Error message when attempting to copy...

I'm trying to move Time Machine backup files to a larger external drive by copying the folder but keep receiving this error:
"The backup can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled"
Is there a way to resolve this? Thanks!

HI have a damaged Time machine disk that is corrupted and can't be repaired by any disk utility programs. And I want to temporarily transfer the TM backups to another hard drive while I reformat the TM disk. I have snow leopard, but the finder won't let me drag and drop my time machine backups (Backups.backupdb) onto a new drive. I get the same "The backup can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled" error. However, when I get info on the drive I want to transfer the backups to and uncheck "ignore ownership on this volume", I still get an error when dragging and dropping the time machine backups. The new error reads "This operation can't be completed because it isn't supported."
Are there any other things I can try to get drag and drop to work? I would have used the methods described above (clone the TM drive using disk utility or CCC), but I can't do that as my time machine disk contains a lot of other items besides the TM backups, and the disk I'm trying to drag the TM backups too is actually smaller than the TM disk. Since my TM disk is corrupted, I can't delete the extra files on the disk to make a clone that would fit on my smaller new disk. So I'm unable to clone my TM disk because it's too big. Is there any other way to make the drag and drop work in snow leopard? Everyone says it should, but I've been unable to get it to work.

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash, reboot when complete.
    For the other problems...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

    Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. 

  • Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    cornman30
    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.

    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    If other than above, please supply more details to help us help you.

  • I am receiving the following error message when attempting to text to a valid mobile/cell number in Peru.

    I am receiving the following error message when attempting to text to a valid Mobile/Cell number in Peru...Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.
    I am able to receive texts from the number in question, but not able to text back to the person sending.
    The number is a valid 9 digit cell/mobile number.

    If you're sending as SMS (green bubble) then this is a carrier issue and not an issues with your phone.
    To text internationally, you nearly always need to include the country code before the rest of the phone number. If you are doing so and still have issues, contact your carrier.

    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?

    There are several threads about the 0xFFFE7958 error. So far there is no answer for the problem. I have contacted iTunes support twice about the problem and other than "we will get back to you..." I have received no support. The best part is that they charged me for this. How about a refund or something?

  • Windows Easy transfer , ERROR message when trying to copy settings to Win 8 PC

    I have a new hp-TouchSmart Envy 23. It has 2TB drive.
    I want to use Windows Easy Transfer to move all my settings and data from the Windows 7 machine to the new hp-TouchSmart (my older PC is hp desktop is model # m9177c and has Win 7 OS)  .
    I have used easy transfer many times and I am reasonably experienced user .
    I just cannot transfer my settings and data to my new PC. I have therefore copies all my data to the hp-TouchSmart . However I need to use Windows easy transfer to move all my settings. I have a very large number of settings , macros and much else that would take a very large amount of time to re-type.
    I get an ERROR message when I want to transfer my settings. It says I don’t have enough disk space. The file I want to transfer is only 10.5 GB (after I removed all my data). The new machine has 2TB and yet I keep getting this error.
    I have tried every possible way of transferring the settings , including : external drive; flash drive; direct wire ; easy transfer cable etc. I keep getting the same ERR message .
    I am sure Easy transfer must allow transfer from Win 7 to Win 8. BUT HOW? 
    PLEASE do help. I would really appreciate very much .
    THANK YOU
    Adam 

    This thread may be useful. 
    Windows Easy Transfer will transfer from one drive to the other to mirror the original drive.  What I suspect is happening is that the program is grabbing the D drive (recovery partition on most systems) and trying to transfer it to the new system which should also have a D drive.  If that is happening,t hen that error will be thrown.
    Try using the advanced options and view the report to see what exactly is happening and triggering the message.
    Let me know what happens. 
    The document in the thread is for a previous version of Windows, but you can search for Easy Transfer Reports from the Start screen in Windows 8.
