Error message while trying to clone harddrive using Disk Utility

I've been trying to clone my MacBook Pro's harddrive in advance of installing Leopard. I've been trying to clone to a LaCie Ethernet Disk mini. It's connected to my computer with a USB cable. It does about 1/3 of the disk, then I get the following error message:
An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory)
At this point the disk cloning stops.
An advice would help, thanks.

Purchase at $27.95 will allow smart backups that look at the bu files and only move over new ones. It's quick at ~7 mins to change ~1 gig out of 20.
Be sure to test that the clone boots and apps behave properly.
Here are other popular cloners.

Getting error message while trying to Develop Applications using Oracle ADF

I have just started learning Oracle ADF. I have installed Oracle ADF 11g (with Oracle 11g database) in my PC. I am an experienced Oracle Forms Developer. While trying to run the application after development in
Oracle ADF I get the following error message :
This Project has no default run target. Please choose the file you want to run. Default Run Target:
and then it gives you a browse option to select default run target file.
This message always come in any type of application I want to write in Oracle ADF. Can you please tell me what is the possible fix to this issue.
Installation of Oracle ADF did not show any error message. Oracle Middleware and webserver 11g has been installed before the installation of Oracle ADF 11g.
I will appreciate any feedback for this. Thank you.

Let me add some missing information.
Right clicking a page or java class and selecting run or debug is ONE way to start the application with the page selected or the class selected (if the class can be started).
Sometimes it's more desirable to always start the application using the same way (e.g. start page in a unbounded task flow) regardless where you are currently working on. So you don't need to find the page in the application navigator.
For this you can use the 'Run configurations'. These (as you can have more then one) can be used to tell the framework which page or class to start if you hit the run or debug toolbar button. You can edit or create run configurations by using the menu 'run->choose active configuration->manage run configuration' or you open the project properties of the viewcontroller project and select 'run/debug/profile'. Then you get the dialog to edit or create a run configuration.
Select default (this won is created for you by the framework) and click 'edit'. Then you see the launch settings. If you are using adf task flows you can e.g. select the adfc-config.xml file as 'default run target'. This allows you to select the page to start in the 'ADF Task FLow' sub node. If you now uncheck the 'attempt to run active file...' the framework always start the page you selected from the unbounded task flow.

Error message when trying to create DMG with Disk Utility

Have a highly confidential folder on my drive, so am driving to convert to a DMG file, with password protection. It gets nearly done with the DMG process then generates Error - 49168.
Anyone know what means?
1.I choose read-write as my access options
2.Under encryption I choose the AES setting. It asks me to create a password and I create one (unchecking the "remember password option, of course")
3. It seems to get through 95% of the process, then produces that error message.
-- david in KC

A little Googling suggests that Norton Anti-Virus can cause this problem by trying to scan the image as it's being created. The fix seems to be to turn off NAV while creating the image.
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest rebooting from the system disk and having Disk Utility repair the disk, to make sure all is in good working order.

my phone got an error message while trying to update

I received an error message when attempting to install the latest update as well. Went through all steps, downloaded through Itunes and when asked to update my apple id by entering an e -mail, the following error message appears:
Could not sign in
There was a problem connecting to the server.
However, I was able to access google/gmail account servers prior to installing iOS 6. Now my phone is stuck at this error message and I can't use it!

Error message while trying to play rented moves on Apple TV

I keep getting an error message while trying to play my rented movies. I have rebooted the Apple TV. Lowered the resolution. Restated my modem . Rest my Apple TV. Soft rebooted it and it plays all Netflix and previews in HD no problem just not the movies I have rented !! Extremely frustrated regretting my purchase extremely!! About ready to boycott!

I have been able to open a few items in iTunes, but have not been able to play even those videos from my Apple TV. I can airplay them from the computer, but cannot access them directly from Apple TV. This is a bit frustrating.

Why am I receiving an error message while trying to change my phone number?

So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I was hoping to circumvent the 15$ fee of doing it over the phone. Finally, I decided to do an online chat, the associate did not know why the error was occurring but informed me in order to change my number over chat, i would STILL have to pay the 15$ fee. Something struck me as so wrong there, so conveniently the change features and phone number part of the website was not working, however the view/pay your bill part was always working properly, never received any error messages there. I understood it was not the associates fault however. Still that is wrong. If it was not urgent I would wait. Yes I could have tried the number block, that section was not working either, but having to renew which numbers you want blocked every couple of months makes no sense to me, if I want something blocked, i want it blocked permanently not just for 90 days. Yes I tried call/SMS blocker apps from the app store but they're faulty in that they still give you notifications of when the blocked person/number called/text or do not always block everything all the time. But when it came down to it, even the associate encountered the error message while trying to change my number. So why is this happening. Verizon is expensive but the reception is better however theirs always issues when I need to fix something. Its frustrating

Verizon was having a problem on their end, perhaps a server down for some repair or updating. However you were already aware that there was an on-going problem in your own posting and you decided to continue on.I can understand you wanting this done and trying to save the $15.00 fee. However I would have waited a bit longer until the Verizon issue had been corrected. Yes it is frustrating but again you know in advance of a problem , I can understand that this is most upsetting for you but never try to perform any change when a problem is there and I also do not like to do business on a weekend with no live tech support available. I'm sure this will all work out for you if given some time. Sorry.

Getting an error message while trying to update Adobe AIR.

I keep getting this error message while trying to update Adobe AIR:
Sorry, an error has occurred.
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.
*Please help me resolve this issue.

Sundeep, I'm getting the same message.
I'm on OS 10.5.8
I've downloaded the Adobe AIR Installer, but the installer always indicates that it will update Adobe AIR

A spotlight search for these two log files produces nothing.
I also followed your instructions here:

But terminal replies with "No such file or directory"

Is your AirPort Express an older 802.11g model? If so, you will need to install v5.6 if you are running OS X Lion or 5.6.1 if running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, the iOS version of the AirPort Utility cannot administer these older base stations.

Error message while trying use Adobe Export PDF (to word)

I have an "active"account for Adobe Export PDF/Word. Every time I try to convert a PDF to a word document the following error pops up everytime: "An error occurred while trying to access this service". Is there a solution?

I'm sorry you're getting this error. Could you try the following?
1) Log out of your account and log back in. Do you get the same error as before?
2) Log in to the ExportPDF service on the web ( https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf ). Do you still get the same error if you directly upload the PDF at the website and try to export it there?

ORA-12705 Error Message while trying to connect to the DB

A colleague of mine has been trying to connect to the DB through PL/SQL Developer. The error message returned is :
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
Checked the registry for NLS_LANG which is set to NA. I did that because the ORA message references the NLS_LANG parameter. However, I doubt that is the problem. Went about to create a new TNS Name entry through Oracle NET Manager and get the same Error Message while performing the TEST function.
Any clues ? I am clueless at this point.

This can occur with any NLS_ environment variable of registry value.
Your assertion ' the ORA message references the NLS_LANG parameter' is incorrect.
You can set NLS_TERRITORY, NLS_DATE_FORMAT etc, etc, etc.
The order of precedence is environment variable, registry, Oracle provided default.
To find out what is going on set every NLS related environment variable to the empty string.
In sqlplus
select * from v$nls_valid_values
will show you what can be set,
This error will also occur when you installed the software with English as the only language.
SQL developer doesn't use tnsnames.ora
The new tnsname entry has nothing to do with it.
You have an incorrect environment variable or registry value somewhere
