Error on file copy HELP

Windows xp clients get this error when trying to connect to a share point.
"the specified network name is no longer available"
I can replicate the error. And i can still see the share, and access files. But the current operation (usually a copy) dies
I have the following services running:
AFP
DHCP
DNS
OD
SMB
I'm on a closed "air gap" network. All I want to do is share files.

  • Documanage Error #2002 (File Copy Error)

    Hi,
    I am getting this error "Documanage Error #2002 (File Copy Error)" during the Genarc process. I am not able to understand the problem. Can any one please let me know about this error.
    Also is there documentation about documanage errors, please let me know.
    Thanks in Advace

    Turn on your debugging options in Documaker INI and see what you get.
    < DBHandler:DMIA >
    DEBUG = YES
    < DBHandler:ODBC >
    Debug = YES
    Also you may want to turn up your logging in the poffice.ini and check those logs as well. It's been a while since I've seen that but if I recall correctly this error usually happens when you are trying to archive a transaction from Genarc to Documanage and either the connection is broken or the document category doesn't match.

  • I can't watch shopnbc on my iPad from their website. I used to be able to watch it live, but now it says error loading file. Help?

    Having issues with watching shopnbc live, from their website, on my iPad 4. I used to be able to watch it live, but for some reason, when I select the play button, it tells me "error loading file" . That's it. Anyone know a fix for this, or what may be going on here?

    My guess is that they recently changed how the videos work. I logged in on my MacBook and the stream worked fine, but it is Flash content in a JW Player video player. From what I see on the website. This video player works with html5 as well as Flash so I'm not sure why it isn't working, unless the site has not updated the content for html5 and is only using Flash right now. But you should get the message on the iPad that the content is in Flash and can't be viewed on the iPad.
    I tried it with three different browsers identifying as mobile and as desktop browsers and I get the same results as you no matter what I do. So my assumption is that the site content was recently changed and it has to be updated. But that is just a guess.
    The message about the website having issues when I used iCab Mobile and identified as a desktop browser. The issue has to be on their end.

  • 10.6.3  -   still error 36 file copy errors

    After getting a new mac with 10.6 I started having problems copying files, namely that copying aborts with error 36 quite frequently. I never had such problems on my old powermac with 10.3.9. After some reading here, I discovered this was a known 10.6 problem when copying to windows formatted disks.
    Recently I let my mac upgrade itself to 10.6.3. One of the listed fixes was for file copies to windows servers. Unfortunately, I'm still getting error 36's. I have 2 ways that I transfer files which yield lots of error 36's :
    First is with USB thumb drives formatted FAT32, for backup and taking files back and forth from home/office & pc/mac. I haven't yet experienced a problem with this in 10.6.3, but really I also haven't transferred many files this way yet, so can't say for sure whether the issue is fixed here or not.
    Second way is uploading completed projects (mostly pdf's) to our corporate site via internet, doing a "connect to server" with afp://mycompanysite.com. I have no idea what server/software they are running with that, but I still get consistent error 36's when uploading files to it. If I make that afp connection with my ancient 10.3.9 powermac, I can transfer files all day without any errors, so...
    obviously Apple still hasn't quite fixed the file transfer problem!!
    Help, Apple, Help!!!!!

    Thank you for your reply, Charles.
    1. I thought that this thread was about Finder in 10.6.3 generating Error -36 errors when trying to copy files to an external drive, which is what I wrote about.
    Yeah, but it appears that the OP had a different problem.
    2. i know that I shouldn't have to force-eject DVD-RAMs; I mentioned that precisely because it is unusual. I was hoping that by raising all the problems that I noticed, maybe someone would recognize something that would lead to a solution.
    If you have to force-eject discs, odds are that you have a problem directly related to that device.
    3. Hardware problem is unlikely. The drive works fine in all respects with my older (17") iMac running OSX 10.4.11; the drive works fine with the new iMac running OSX 10.6.3, when copying any size file to or from a DVD-R or DVD-RW disk; the drive also works fine with the new iMac when copying small files (less than 1.4MB or so) to a DVD-RAM; the drive also works fine when copying any size file FROM a DVD-RAM. The error occurs ONLY when copying a file larger than about 1.4MB to a DVD-RAM. To me, the key point is that it works perfectly with 10.4.11, but not with 10.6.3. The only other difference is that with the old iMac I used the Firewire 400 port, and the new one is 800 (so I use a converter cable); but i don't think that would explain why there is no problem with DVD-R and DVD-RW, nor with small files, nor with copying from the drive to the iMac.
    It would appear that there's a software problem somewhere which relates directly to that device. You need to check the drivers.
    4. The mechanism is TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH - 5203N, firmware version LA00 (which is the latest). I have already contacted LaCie about this as well. They don't know why it doesn't work, either. But, on the other hand, they admitted that they do not know of anyone who does have 10.6.3 and IS able to copy larger files to a DVD-RAM. Do you?
    Nope. Most people around here use DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs, not DVD-RAMs. I've not heard of that particular model DVD-RAM.
    Thank you.

  • General Errors : Large files, proxies, help page

    Hi!
    I've just signed up for CreatePDF to combine some pdf files down to a single file for use on my iPad, but so far the service has been rather disappointing...
    1. Large Files
    According to this help question: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5234707#5234707 (which references the FAQ), the max file size is 100MB, I guess this refers to the max output size. However I am getting errors trying to combine two PDF files, the first is 7394 KB and the second 13991KB. In Firefox and Internet Explorer the error is "an unspecified error", in Safari its "Please use files greater that 0 bytes". The files themselves read fine in Adobe, so I can only assume this is an upload file size issue - can any one confirm this?
    2. The desktop application fails to install, stating that I should check my internet connection or proxy. My connection is behind a proxy, but the installer never gives an option to set the proxy, or use the system wide proxy connection specified in Windows!
    3. When trying to click on the "CreatePDF Help" i get a 404 (http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html)
    So... yes! so far not so good! Can any one help?

    Thanks For Your e-mail

    switch the location of your render files and see if that helps. I had this happen week before last and it drove me crazy (crazier) I switched scratch disks and met deadline. Now it all behaves like it never happened. some bit stuck somewhere, that took the machine being off for a while to cure

    I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message:
    "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."
    I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
    under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily.  Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
    I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ?  How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD.  It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
    Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go.  What is my computer's name?

    Mac Help says:
    If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
    Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
    Open Time Machine preferences
    Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. 
    Open Disk Utility
    Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available. 
    Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password. 
    On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes. 
    Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

    I tried going back to the gmail settings to ensure the trash settings were set to SHOW and SHOW IN IMAP, and I unchecked "Store deleted messages on the server" for the gmail account in the mail.app, as I was also getting messages about not being able to move messages to trash(null), and I thought that might be the issue, but while that fixed the mail issue, it did not fix the Time Machine issue.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    The TC in and of itself is running ok.. otherwise you would not have internet.. so the issue is the OS in the computer.. however the combo is worse than the sum of the parts.. ie Somehow TC is less reliable with Yosemite than it would otherwise be..
    here is the normal fix list.. but it is far from foolproof.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
    Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore

  • Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

    I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
    "Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

    Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
    Is your media card formatted? 
    If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
    If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
    Let me know how you make out

  • Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume.  This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

    On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record.  I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable  system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean.  Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem  "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16".  That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related.  After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours.  I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume.  I also erased and reformatted the TM volume.  However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".  I restarted the computer with no change in results.  Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup.  I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
    I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive.  My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB.  My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
    I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours.  I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination.  As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty.  As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing.  Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way?   It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

    You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
    One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like).  See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
    If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem);  and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files

    One Time Capsule, Two MacBook's, OS10.6.6
    One MacBook can backup no problem, The other cannot backup says: the backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.
    Using a Time Machine Buddy widget gives:

    Who would be so kind to point me in the direction to make thsi work again?

    This could very well have to do with ACLs.
    I bumped into the same problem:
    5/8/11 10:43:22 PM          com.apple.backupd[7126]          Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Users/SA/Public/Drop Box/HandBrake.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/ Resources/de.lproj/SUAutomaticUpdateAlert.nib/classes.nib to /Volumes/Local Backup/Backups.backupdb/Server/2011-05-08-221524.inProgress/88ACE716-0660-44C8- A128-CF01046FC2F8/Macintosh HD/Users/SA/Public/Drop Box/HandBrake.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/ Resources/de.lproj/SUAutomaticUpdateAlert.nib
    Using DD or CCC is no option for me, I don't want downtime and I want incremental backups. So I started to investigate.
    I repartitioned my external Time Machine drive, did the backup again. It didn't work. Then I blocked the culprit file mentioned in the logs from being backed up with TM. That helped, only to find that a bit later it found another file with issues.
    So i looked at the files an found they had ACLs on them that somehow prevented them from being copied.
    SOLUTION:
    remove the ACL from the file.
    If you want to remove all ACLs in a directory, use Terminal and navigate to that directory. Then issue this command:
    sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E ./*
    If you would like to remove ACLs from a single file or package (e.g. an application), issue this:
    sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E <nameoffile>
    You might have to this several times since there might be multiple files affected. Unlike previous solutions, this one does not require you to delete the file.
    I got the command to remove ACLs from http://osxadmin.blogspot.com/2008/01/chmod-acl-removal.html

  • The backup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk

    I continually see the error message "The backup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk" when my time capsule attempts to backup. I have been receiving this message since 14/08/13. I have attempted to locate the file which is preventing the back up and I have not been able to locate it. Any help will be appreciated
    Thanks

    Do a verify on the local disk and on the TC..
    See the info here.
