Getting error -36 while copying from mac HD to usb HFS+ drive

Hi
first off, id did google this stuff.. but couldn't find a solution. i tried all the dot_clean stuff without result.
i'm running the latest update of snow leopard 10.6.7
so here's the situation:
i've got this 1TB FAT32 usb-drive filled with backups that i wanted to re-format to HFS+ so i could fit files >4GB on it. So i backed up that backups to some other USB drives (HFS+ formatted) and formatted the 1TB to HFS+ using disk utility.
After formatting, I start to refill the newly formatted 1TB HFS+ from the other HFS+ drives...
and always, after copying about 90GB my 1TB starts making noises like it's trying to read/write something to/from the disk. short typical HD-activity sounds quickly following each other. this continues for about 30s and after that i get the error -36.. the disk is then 'unproperly removed'. when i remount the 1TB afterwards, it acts like nothing's happened. the 90 GB of files that were written to it before the crash are still there and readable, a can even create a new folder on the drive but as soon as i try to write say a 1GB file to the drive BANG some stuff.. that horrid -36...
I've already used the dot_clean command on all the folders i backed up from the 1TB, I can't seem to find any .._DSstore files..
I am starting to think this might be a hardware related problem..?
thanks so much in advance

First, check that the USB cables are securely seated at both ends. If possible, use different cables; if not, switch the cables between drives.
Is the 1 TB drive partitioned in GUID format? You determine this by selecting the drive icon (above the volume icon) in Disk Utility, and looking at the bottom of the window for the "Partition Map Scheme." If not, partition it in that format. Erase the HFS volume with the option of writing zeros to it ("Security Options..."). This will cause any bad sectors on the drive to be mapped out. It will take much longer than a simple formatting. Then run Verify or Repair Disk on the other USB drive.
Try the copying operation again. If you still get error -36, then either the enclosure or the mechanism of the 1 TB drive has failed -- almost certainly not both.

  • Developing an iOS app on Windows and get error 90161 on upload from Mac

    Hello,
    I have developed an AIR for iOS app in Flash CC 2014 on Windows. I use MacinCloud managed server for uploading .ipa to store for testing. It is virtual server service with Mac OS. They have Application Loader pre-installed.
    I made certificates [cer converted to p12] on Windows and installed provisional profile. I made another certificate on Mac and added it to provisional profile too.
    I get error when trying to upload from Application Loader:
    ERROR ITMS-90161: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.xxx.yyy [Payload/yyy.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate.] For more information, visit the iOS Developer Portal."
    Stuck here. Tried to add cert made on Mac. Flash doesn't like it and stops compilation.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Unfortunately I have no experience with Apple Testflight, but I can show you how to host on your own server.
    Create a .plist file on your server with the following data in it:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>items</key>
      <array>
      <dict>
      <key>assets</key>
      <array>
      <dict>
      <key>kind</key>
      <string>software-package</string>
      <key>url</key>
      <string>http://yourserver.com/path/to/ipa</string>
      </dict>
      </array>
      <key>metadata</key>
      <dict>
      <key>bundle-identifier</key>
      <string>com.yourcompany.yourgame</string>
      <key>bundle-version</key>
      <string>current version of your app</string>
      <key>kind</key>
      <string>software</string>
      <key>title</key>
      <string>name of your app</string>
      </dict>
      </dict>
      </array>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Then, on your server, make an HTML page with the following code in it:
    <a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://yourserver.com/path/to/plist">click here to install<a>
    Navigate to that page on your device, click the link, and it should work!  (assuming the adhoc provisioning profile you built your app with contains permissions for your device)

  • Error message while copying from iTunes to iPod

    My daughter's iPod shuffle (1st gen) was not charging so I updated it to the lastest software (1.1.5). While doing so, iTunes required an upgrade as well (7.5). Both are updated. But it is still not charging. That's my first problem.
    I decided to see if it was a problem with my computer. So I tried using my other daughter's iPod. It was charging and playing music. While I was at it, she wanted to add new songs. For some reason I had difficulties so I updated her iPod software to 1.1.5 as well.
    When I went to put songs on it from iTunes, I get an error message "<song name> was not copied to the iPod "<ipod name>" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    I now have an iPod that has no music on it. (Plus a second iPod that's not charging.) Both iPods are about 15 months old. They are shuffles (1st gen) and we have XP on our computer.
    Can anyone help.

    Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle: iPod shuffle: Compatible audio formats
    I don't use a shuffle but it has a function that other iPods don't have, on-the-fly conversion, the option to "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". You should check this out, this should save you converting your lossless files in iTunes. You can find details on pages 12 and 13 of the manual: iPod shuffle User Guide
    Quote: "If this option is selected, songs encoded in AIFF or Apple Lossless format are
    converted to 128 kbps when transferred to iPod shuffle (the song files in iTunes aren’t
    affected). Otherwise, iPod shuffle doesn’t play songs encoded in those formats"

  • Error message while Copying from one External HD to another

    Hi all, I am trying to copy my music library to a new external HD from my old one, they are the same drive but one is bigger. My collection is about 300 gb. When I go to copy it it will get a few gigs into the transfer then an error saiy, "-36 error some of the data in a particular file cannot be read or written.
    I thought I may have corrupt files so I tried to play the track in itunes, the track crashed about 15 sec in and made itunes frreeze. So I deleted it. I continued to do this for each track that had issues, but It seems like its going to be a long time.
    I also got the error message for one track that played perfectly in itunes, so now i dont know what the problem is.
    Does anyone know of a program I can use to determine if tracks are corrupt? Or a solution to this issue?
    I also went into disk utility and it says both drives are working OK.
    I would aprreciate any help, thanks

    Use Get Info on both the volumes in question - assuming neither are your system or time machine disks. If there is an option for ignoring ownership - way at the bottom of the Get Info window - select it to cause ownership to be ignored. Try copy again.
    I am about 100% sure this might possibly perhaps kind of hopefully help. But it wont hurt either... and I am also assuming you have used disk utility to repair both disks. And if one is a new drive... go ahead and reformat it first.

     I have tried to back up windows 7 back up on external drive. After completing 90% back up i got error 0x8100002f. When i view the details of skipped files there are some files skipped from document, user data as these file are corrupted. I have tried

    these files. These files are working normally but while back up it is showing as corrupted.

    Hi,
    Before moving on, I want to confirm whether you can see these
    files in the external drive?
    If we can, please try to open it? Could they be opened?
    If it is corrupted, please delete the files and recopy them to the target location.
    And if it is not the case, does the computer has an NVIDIA USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) chipset, and has at least 4 GB of RAM?
    If yes, please refer to the scenario 3 in the following kb.

  • When trying to copy from mac HD to WD for mac i get error code -50

    when trying to copy from mac HD to WD for mac i get error code -50 Solutions?

    OS X errors are cryptic. error code -50 says error in user parameter list.
    You need to give us WAY more info if you want help.
    What is WD for Mac? If it's an external drive - did you install any software for it? (shouldn't need to)
    How much free space on the Mac HD? Size of the file(s)?
    Is it a USB drive or Firewire or Thunderbolt?

    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:

    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

    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.

  • Backup failed - error occurred while copying..  Mac Pro after restore

    Hi gang.
    After the most recent EFI Mac Pro firmware update, along with a software update... I could not reboot - got the prohibitary sign. After some time on the phone with Applecare senior tech, i did an erase install from disk with a restore from TM. Seemed to fix my issue, and could reboot as per usual, but I then began getting TM failures with...
    "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."
    It also said to try again later, restart, and use Disk Utility to repair the TM volume. I did all of these (no probs in Disk Utils) and got the same issue... I decided to give up my month of backups, and finally erased the disk, and time machine got through 2/3 of the 1.37tb of data on the 2tb disk before I got the same message. Tried again and got more data between more failure messages. It's now down to what it thinks is 3.07gb of data as it begins to copy, and copies to 4.36 gb of data, then says it is cleaning up, then fails with the same message... again and again. The drives being backed up and the TM hard drive are all internal disks. Any hints on how to get this working properly?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I migrated to my Mac Pro from a G5 several months ago... my boot drive is a 2x100gb solid state drive array. Everything was working flawlessly until I installed an EFI firmware update, and some software updates a few days ago, and my machine would not reboot. I had to erase and install from install disks, and restore from a TM backup from that morning. The catch is that the disk I installed to had some recovered files (data rescue) from trying to save my sister's Powerbook G4 hard drive... and it's possible that invisible files were picked up when I Carbon Copy Cloned that install disk back to my Raid Array boot drive. ???
    I tried excluding the usr/bin folder, and got the same error... with other usr folders showing in console error -34... so I excluded the usr folder, and so far I am 160gb through a 1.2tb backup with no issues. I'll let you know.
    I also did a disk util repair permissions on my boot raid, and got a host of issue including some unrepairable things.... I will reboot on a different disk and do a repair disk... but here's what it said-

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

    I'm using an airport extreme and I keep getting the "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to backup volume.  The solution on the website is try try again.  Its been trying for 5 days now.  Now what?  Obviously something else needs to be done.

    Verify the backup.
    Is this TM you are using? TM to airport extreme connected hard disk are known to be fragile at best.
    A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    make sure the disk is available and online..
    But if it is not working.. then you will have to wipe and start again.

    If this is not TM then also verify the source disk.

  • Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copy

    I purchased my iMac 24" in February.
    After I had set up the machine I configured an IceCube Firewire 300 GB (Seagate) Hard Drive as a backup volume and flicked the switch in Time Machine. All went as expected. I even restored my whole hard drive from the Time Machine volume about a month ago after I repartitioned the boot volume to set up Boot Camp. No problems.
    About a week ago I purchased a 500GB WD HDD and set it up inside the IceCube enclosure (I remembered to make it the "Master" disk too!!). I partitioned it with Disk Utility with a GUID Mac OS X (Journaled) partition for my Leopard boot partition, and as MS-DOS FAT32 for my Boot Camp external partition. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy all the Windows files across from Boot Camp to the new FAT32 partition and set up Time Machine to make a backup of the Leopard boot partition.
    After several hours Time Machine stopped with the error message above. ("Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup").
    I have spent days formatting the new WD drive, repairing permissions on the boot drive, excluding large files and cache files from the backup in Time Machine to no avail. Every time I get the same message. I even set up another 200GB firewire drive to see if it was anything to do with the enclosure of WD HDD. Same result!!
    I have searched these forums for any ideas, and have done wide searches with Google but nothing has worked.
    I can not understand why my Mac worked perfectly with Time Machine before I installed the new Western Digital Hard Drive.
    What have I missed?

    I keep getting the Time Machine backup error too, like many others. Was fine until just the other day, now, nothing. Although my husband's backs up just fine. I assume it's the 10.5.3 bug everyone else has. I've tried reselecting the drive, running the disk utility, shutting everything on and off... help!
    Here's the console log- anyone know what this means?

  • Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the...

    Add me to the list of those with TIme Machine backup failures.
    I am repeatedly getting the following error message:
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
    I do have work-around.
    1. Open Time Machine Preferences... (from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar)
    2. Change Disk...
    3. Re-select the disk you are already using and select "Use for Backup"
    4. Back Up Now (from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar)
    The error eventually comes back, but following the above procedure keeps it at bay for a few days.
    I have only had these errors since 10.5.3.

    Mle,
    Take a look at the following...
    *_“Unable to Complete Backup. An Error Occurred While Copying Files to the Backup Volume.” (Console: “Error: (-43) copying”, “Copy stage failed with error:11”)_*
    There are several reasons why this error message can appear. Consider each topic individually. If one does not resolve the issue, move on to the next one. The following topics have resolved this issue for others.
    *If A Backup Is Interrupted* #
    “If an interruption occurs, Time Machine will wait for a period of time to see if the Time Capsule becomes available again. After this time expires you will see a alert message stating "Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." In Time Machine preferences, the "Latest Backup:" field will state "Failed".” [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1176]
    You will need to reestablish communication with the Time Machine backup disk.
    *Anti-Virus Software* #
    Have you been running anti-virus software? xClav, Norton, Sophos, Macaffe etc... According to many posters in the forums this software can play havoc with Time Machines attempt to function properly.
    *Firewire Devise Interferes with Time Machine Backups* #
    If you are backing up to an external hard disk by means of firewire, do you happen to have another firewire device attached as well? An iSight camera or video recorder maybe? Sometimes additional firewire devises can interfere with the signal/power to the backup drive. Unplug it and attempt a backing up again.
    *Corrupt File / Incorrect Permissions* #
    One poster observed: “I searched my system logs and found a file that caused my connection to the TC to fail. I erased that file (after checking what it was - a temporary file connected to my Epson scanner) and tried again to back up for the first time. This time it worked, and in under 10 hours (I had been expecting about 20-24 hours, based on the data transfer speed).”
    Initially this might be resolved without deleting the offending file. Simply use Disk Utility to “Repair Disk Permissions”. Or failing that, booting from the Mac OS X Installation DVD and running “Repair Disk” on the Mac’s internal hard disk. Now try backing up
    Otherwise, you may need to track down the specific file causing Time Machine to choke.
    Before attempting another backup, go into Applications --> Utilities --> and launch Console.
    Under “LOG FILES” on the left select "system.log".
    In the search field in the upper right, type in backupd. This is the process Time Machine uses to perform backups. By searching just for this process we'll isolate only Time Machine activities.
    With the Console open, attempt another backup and note the time it starts and the time it stops. Often, the activities reported will identify the very file or event that caused the attempt to choke. (You can copy and paste the events for this backup attempt from the log into a post here and we may be able to tell you exactly what is happening.)
    Once you determine which file or event it is, you can decide whether to move, delete, or modify certain things and then attempt another backup. For Instance, if the logs report something like this:
    +Error: (-43) copying /Users/Home/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions.plist to+
    +/Volumes/Backup HD/Backups.backupdb/My Mac Pro//Users/Home/Library/Application+
    Support/Quicksilver
    Then it’s telling you Time Machine is choking on the file labeled Actions.plist and it’s having trouble copying to the backup disk.
    On your computer, Navigate to that file ( Actions.plist ) and move it to the Trash, but DON’T empty it yet. Now try backing up again. If it succeeds, you can launch Time Machine and go back 24-48 hours and restore a copy of Actions.plist and replace it. Then empty trash.
    *Partition Scheme/Formatting Issue*
    This KB article explains one reason you may be seeing that error message [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550]. It's a partition scheme issue. Time Machine is incompatible with disks partitioned as Master Boot Record (MBR). Unfortunately, this describes nearly every hard drive you can buy because MBR is a Windows partition scheme. You will likely need to repartition the drive and start again. (Naturally, this DOES NOT apply to Apples’ Time Capsule.)
    One article on Time Machine made this observation: “Virtually everybody will have to open Disk Utility and repartition the disk as APM or GUID. It doesn't really matter which one because the Time Machine disk will not be bootable anyway. APM allows a disk to boot a PowerPC, GUID allows the disk to boot an Intel processor but both are easily digestible by Time Machine on either kind of processor.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
    Once the external hard disk is repartitioned, select it again in Time Machine preferences and use it for your backups.
    Let us know if any of the suggestions above resolved your issue.
    Cheers!
