How do I deal with error code -8003 ?

When I try to empty my Trash with a certain app in it I get error code -8003. I can't find reference to that code anywhere and do not know how to clean up the trash.
"The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."

Try using Trash It!

    How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

  • Dealing with error code 53 on i-phone 6 , tried restoring but it stops 1/2 way due to unecpected error 53

    Doing some research I found that there are many complaints that have to do with error code 53, mine happened with my new i-phone 6+ during an update and restore process. The bar below the apple during on my screen during the update filled in 1/2 way and then the stopped telling me on my MAC-BOOK "unable to update i-phone due to unexpected error 53". And the phone now is stuck with the screen showing that a cable needs to be plugged in and connected to i-tunes.
    Is there a fix that someone recommends ?
    Thank you.

    Greetings gillisfrompasadena,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. You may want to consider restoring your device to factory settings to adress the issue:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup. 
    Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • How to download iTunes with error code 24

    I have tried the fixes from Windows and I have uninstalled everything to do with iTunes as I saw on another thread as well. So now I have no iTunes on my computer running Windows 7 and I still get the error code 2324 when trying to get the latest version of iTunes. Any other thoughts on how to fix so I can have iTunes? I am extremely frustrated.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • How can I deal with error 200621 and 200279?

    Hi, I am new to Labview. I was asked to use Labview to do some basic frequency-domain analysis for my homework. The hardware I use is myDAQ student instrumentation device. Basically, I am asked to transfer audio signal from MP3 to Labview by using the audio in jack on myDAQ, and transfer the editted signal to a speaker by using the audio out jack. Also, I was asked to have a toggle to let users alter from music to white noise. 
    Here's the problem. If I do not switch between white noise and music, it works well. But as long as I click the toggle, either error 200621 or error 200279 will appear. And I referred to the help file (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AB7D4CA85967804586257380006F0E62), but I still have no idea how to solve the problem. Could anybody give me a detailed instruction, thanks.

    Take a look at:
    Getting Started with NI-DAQmx: Getting Started with NI-DAQmx Programming in LabVIEW
    Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Handle 80 Percent of Your Data Acquisition Applications
    You can also find a lot of DAQmx examples with Find Examples under the Help menu.
    Also, if you right click on a DAQ assistant and choose Open Front Panel, it turns it into a subVI where you can look under the hood and see how the DAQ assistant is doing its job with the basic DAQmx functions.
    For queues, look for examples for that as well.  And also look for the design templates under File / New... for Producer/Consumer architecture.  Also do more searching on the forums for questions and answers about queues and producer/consumer.

  • How do I deal with error 36 when transferring iphoto to hard drive?

    I'm copying my iphoto library to the hard drive and it states that there is an error- 36 (trouble with some of the data). I don't know which file is causing the problem so I can't figure how to fix issue. Thanks.

    Try copying the file named "iPhoto Library" only... not any other files. Same problem? It may be a problem with the way the hard drive is formatted.

  • TS1424 What does this page have to do with error code 8003 and not being able to empty trash?

    I did a search for help and this is where I keep landing. But I can open the iTunes Store site just fine, even though I never do.

    Lastly while at the AT&T Store and
    with this guy, I explained that I am in need of a
    cellular telephone for work and he said that "I can
    take my iPhone SIM card out and put it into my old
    telephone (which is a Treo 650) if I need service
    back or to use a cell phone in the meantime". Won't
    this delay the activation of the iPhone though and
    how would an iPhone SIM work in a treo 650 anyways?
    AFAIK the SIM that comes with the iPhone is nothing out of the ordinary...just a new SIM card with AT&T livery. I am in the same boat as you and your wife, but I removed the SIM from the iPhone and am using it in my Treo650 until they can sort this out because I need a phone...period. So it does in fact work if you wish to do it.
    I have no idea about the rumor that the iPhone must remain docked/online during this process nor do I know if using the new SIM in an old phone is elongating things. My guess is that neither is true and the delay is being caused by a MASSIVE onslaught of activity upon AT&T's mainframe.

  • How do I deal with constant "error loading content" messages?

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

    I am trying to empty trash and getting an error code -8003. I have deleted some very large iphot folders to free up disk space after moving them to a detached drive.  To complete the task, I am trying to empty trash. After about 30 seconds, I get an error code - 8003.
