Error message when trying to copy files from memory stick to MacBookPro

Trying to copy files from my memory stick to my MacBookPro and have started to get a crazy error message - "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've never had a problem before today. Any help will be welcomed!

Try this. When the stick is mounted on your desktop, right click "Get Info" and at the bottom choose "ignore ownership on this drive." See if that works.

I get error 8062 when trying to copy files from one external hard drive to another. It starts out copying files, but after 10 minutes or so it stops and I get the error 8062. The hard drive tech support says the problem is in my Macbook Air.

I cannot copy my doc and photos and videos from one external hard drive to a second external hard drive -- both plugged in to my MacBook Air -- I get Error 8062 and the copying (which seemed to be going on for 10 minutes) stops and nothing gets copied.
As any Macbook Air owner knows, there is SO LITTLE storage capacity on the computer that you have to back up big files onto an external hard drive to avoid getting the other annoying error that says you have no more memory/storage capacity/whatever the proper term is, and you cannot use the computer.
Backstory: Before this error cropped up, I had backed up lots of files to an external drive and then removed them from my computer. But then the external hard drive got corrupted and I could not access my entire photo library. Had to pay $850 to Kroll Ontrack to recover those files. I have now bought 2 new external 1 Terrabyte hard drives as protection against another such disaster. BUT I cannot copy the files from the first hard drive where all my reovered files now sit, to another backup hard drive.
Feeling vulnerable. Please help.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

Error -50 when trying to copy files to external hard drive.

When trying to copy files (itunes music folder) to an external hard drive, I get the following message: Copying music failed. An unknown error occurred (-50).
I have tried repairing disk permissions but still get the message. Any thoughts?

Gary,
A couple of posts referencing "error -50" seem to indicate that the error could result from a corrupted file.
One from Kappy follows:
Error -50 Post
One way you could save your music to the other drive would be to do it folder by folder (dragging each artist's folder, to the other drive). I suspect you won't have many (if any) errors doing that, and if you hit the corrupted file, you can come back to that folder and see which one is bad. You could also try to drag groups of artists folders to the drive if you had quite a few. One note: If you save your files this way, you won't be saving the library, which contains all the playlists you've created...you'll have to recreate them.
If you needed that music down the road, you could just do a File>Import from iTunes....
Hope this helps,
Bob

Getting error message when trying to play songs from library saying original file could not be found

when trying to play songs from library, getting message saying original file could not be found .. my full library all says the same .. can anyone help ?

Hello Ceeclass,
I suggest this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408.
It should help you locate the media that is not playing in the iTunes library.
Take care,

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.

Please help! error message when trying to download pictures from iphone5 to macbook pro

Hello everyone,
lately I have been having some issues when trying to download pictures from my iphone to my iphoto library. Whenever I try to do so this message pops up "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." Would anyone happen to know why this is happening? I was always able to transfer my pictures from my phone to my laptop before, so I don't know why this is happening now.
Thank you very much to whomever might be able to solve this problem for me!!

"The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format."
if you look at the error message - is the filename mentioned? What kind of file is it? A JPEG? A video?
Can you import the files from your iPhone with Image Capture?

Error message when trying to link files. Xinet?

"Error: Unable to report an error [Exception Code}! Please report this to
Xinet technical support."
This is what one of our users is getting when attempting to link files from an InDesign job on her machine. We have no idea what this is (Xinet?).
Any ideas? As of right now, she cannot link to the files that are present locally (all files are on her machine, not a DVD, or a server).
Thank you!

I've never heard of Xinet before, but after thirty seconds with Google, I start getting stuff like this:
Password-protected security and access control lists keep proprietary
information safe, ensuring that each Xinet WebNative Suite user has
access only to the portion of the file system and archive where their
data is stored.
I'd bet that some of the images on that DVD have been hoovered out of a Xinet workflow. Seeing as Xinet is a "Digital Asset Management System" (retch), I'd likewise bet that your error has something to do with being outside of that workflow.
Secure your assets with Access Control Lists and by
adding WebNative Portal, the proxy-server based front end for
Web-accessed networks.
Perhaps there's some sort of plugin you need? Somewhere around the twentieth second of my Google search I found this:
http://xinetusersgroup.org/?tag=indesign
Perhaps you'd best ask there.

Error message when trying to copy a DVD with Roxio Toast v6.1.1

I'm trying to duplicate a DVD I made via Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro by using Toast Titanium ver. 6.1.1.
About 3/4 of the way through the record process, I keep getting the following error message:
"Couldn't complete the last command because there was an I/O error.
Result code = -36"
Since I made this DVD myself, I don't believe there is any copy protection or region codes embedded.
The DVD has 2.72 GB of material on it.
Please advise, thanks.

Here are some things to try: Select the DVD in the Toast Copy window and choose Save as Disc Image from the File menu. When that is complete eject the DVD and insert your blank disc, choose the saved disc image with the Image File setting in the Copy window and burn your DVD.
Alternatively, drag the VIDEO_TS folder from the source DVD to your hard drive. Choose DVD-Rom (UDF) as the format in the Toast Data window. Click New Disc. Add your VIDEO_TS folder. Click New Folder and name it AUDIO_TS. Now burn your DVD.

Photoshop CS6 and PS CC error message when trying to open file

The following error occurs when I try to open a file from Bridge of Windows Explore:
"The procedure entry point
?ProposeSearchBounds@StructuralImageEditing@@YA?AVBox@I@EA
BV?$point2_J@gil@boost@@AEBV21@M@Z could not be located in
the dynamic link library PatchMatch.dll"
This started happening latge in the day recently and usually a reboot solved the problem
but i am getting this every time I try open an image. What is the problerm and what are
the solutions?
Thank you john

Just thought I would update. I reinstalled PS CS6 since I had the disk available and the error message did not come back. I then launched Bridge CC and I was able to launch from Bridge without the error message but the file opened in PS CS6 so I checked my file associations in Bridge CC and they were all set to CS6 (odd) but I changed the associations for jpeg and NEF to PS CC and I tried to launch the files. ERROR MESSAGE it is the same one as I noted in yesterdays message. Any suggestions?
When I did the reinstall of CS6 it was right over the top of PS CS6. Should I do the same with CC? How do I do that? Just download from Creative Cloud Manager?
Thanks
John

You should always backup your iPad before ever doing anything major that coould result in a catastrophic loss is something goes wrong. You can then usually restore from the backup when your iPad has recovered.
You should also be sure to have transfered any new purchases directly to your iPad to the iTunes app on your computer on a regular basis.

Error message when trying to Copy iPhoto Library

I am trying to backup my iPhoto Library from it's location on a WD external hard drive to another WD external hard drive. The Library is 54GB in size. When I try to copy the library, it copies about 1.1GB then I get this message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I have used the Rebuild Photo Library to 1. Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions, and 2. Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup, and it still gives me the same message when I try to copy the Library.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

There must be a damaged file or files somewhere in the remainder of the Library.
Try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. Set the Rebuilt Library onto the external.
This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD

Error Message when trying to copy a picture and save it

Hi,
We have just recently started having this problem. When we are trying to copy and save any pictures or screens a pop-up comes up stating one of 2 things. One is regarding something about the remote connection or we get 'access denied'... These are not protected things we are trying to copy, it is on everything we try to copy and save.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
