HT1338 An error occurred while partitioning the disk in Bootcamp?

Any idea's why? Installed windows on my old mac with no problems.

Hi All,
I Have succumbed to this problem today in OSX Yosemite, I found it was FileVault being turned on was my problem, you can check this as follows:
- Disk Utility
- Click on Macintosh HD (The indented one)
- In the Properties you will find Format : Encrypted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) .
To repair is a simple case of switching off FileVault in System Preferences/Security and Privacy/FileVault(Tab). You will need to click the padlock to make changes, then you will be able to turn off File Vault.
I found this was paused and had no way to resume it so a fresh install of OSX was my friend and this time round I made sure FileVault wasn't turned on.

"Your disk could not be partitioned" "An error occurred while partitioning the disk"

hello, i am operating on a model a1286 mbp mid 2009 laptop, with 4 gb ram 360 gb hdd,
snow leapord updated to maverick,
bootcamped w/ win 7 32-bit
i tried in mac os x maverick to use bootcamp assistant to partition my bootcamp 180 gb partition to be erased and then to start the install of 64-bit.
the partitioning was stuck at about 17 percent for an hour, so i quit the bootcamp assistant - ive seen on reddit this was a bad thing to do, but i did it anyway because i saw someone posted about being to reboot and do a hdd repair then reboot and try to partition again
now when i startup my rEfit program that shows me option of loading mac os x maverick or Bootcamp Legacy Os instead of bootcamp win 7 32-bit
when i tried partioning again its asking me to free up space for 28 gb in bootcamp assistant , i did that, inserted win 7 64-bit dvd install and hit continue dialogue button in bootcamp assistant
this is where i see i only have 145 gb used in mac os x with 18 gb free and in the windows side 14 gb
status partitioning disk,
but then i get an error message saying the partition failed with errors
i googled and saw i had togo into single user mode by pressing cmd-s during boot and typing /sbin/fsck -fy
i got a msg saying this command function is not recognized. - along those lines
how do i reboot and start a repair of the disk?
also i did a repair file permisions in disk utility but forgot to put back the power cord, so the battery drained and i assume the repair file permissions didnt finish and the mbp just auto shutdowned
is there a command i could enter into the EFI shell? or single user mode? to repair the hdd partition in the mac os x maverick and the bootcamp legacy os side since the first time i tried erasing everything on the win 7 32-bit side bootcamp assistant got stuck at 17 percent partitioning then I voluntarily quit the program = now i cant partition bca gives me error of:
"Your disk could not be partitioned" "An error occurred while partitioning the disk"
thanks in advance,
-r

Is that the complete error message? Are you trying to partition the correct drive? It may be that you do not have enough contiguous free space on the drive for the partition.

An error occurred while partitioning the disk

iMAC, brand new
3 TB Fusion HD
Windows 7 install disc (Windows 8 - blech!)
I've tried using the minimum partition.
I've tried divide equally.
I've rebooted and repaired disc (no errors).
I've read every thread in this discussion.
Please help.
The message I get, every time while partitioning, is this:
Your disc could not be partitioned
An error occurred while partitioning the disk
Is the Fusion HD the issue? And if it is, why are we all told in the store, "Oh, you can use Windows! Bootcamp comes already installed!" when it is such an issue to install Windows?
I purchased the Fusion drive specifically to have that processing power to run Windows and Mac.
I'd stick to only Mac, but work software requires Windows

Boot from another hard drive or DVD and repair with Disk Utility.

BootCamp Assistant Error : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate .iso file saved onto a "Mac OS Extended (Journal)" formatted USB flash drive. I am trying to install it with BootCamp Assistant and I keep getting the error message : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."
I have previously installed Windows 7 on my Mac (and it worked flawlessly - same .iso file), but I uninstalled it because I didn't partition enough space on my hard drive. I have used several flash drive to try and install and none have worked.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.

HT1338 An error occurred while installing the updates.(103) Someone can help me? My os x version is 10.8.2

hi Guys
Im trying to make the update on my IMAC and i always get an error saying: an error occurred while installing the updates ( 103 )
Thanks and hope some one can help me
Cheers

It would be helpful to know to what update you are referring. For now try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).

PSE8 "Error occurred while writing the disk" during backup

Last night I tried doing a full backup of my PSE8 catalog to DVD-R disks using the PSE8 "backup to CD/DVD" feature. The program told me I would need 17 disks, so I let it run. It was burning the 13th disk when it produced an error stating "An error occurred while writing the disc. Result 13, Command 42, Sense 5, asc 33, ascq 2".
I swapped out the supposedly bad disk for a new one and selected "Retry". It burned for several minutes (what I believe to be the whole disk) before producing the exact same error again. Not wanting to give up on 90 minutes of work, I kept retrying with new blank disks, and it failed on every one in the same way. It would write what seemed like the entire disk and then the same error would appear. This produced 6 coasters in a row before I gave up and cancelled the job (that's 18 disks and 2 1/2 hours of my time wasted).
I'm using a Samsung SH-S182M burner with the most current firmware (SB06), and LG DVD-R disks. I've had no trouble with this burner in any other software. My system has WinXP Pro SP3, 4GB RAM, RAID-0, and an AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 CPU. No lack of hardware resources.
I seem to recall having the same kind of trouble with PSE5 a couple years ago, possibly using a different DVD burner at the time (on the same computer). Since I normally do backups using 3rd-party software and an external hard drive, I only rarely use the PSE8 backup tool. I'm not sure it has ever worked properly for me.
Does anybody know what this error means, and why it doesn't happen until well into the process? And why it suddenly fails on every disk from that point on?

There doesn't seem any issue with disc drive or the DVD media. It could be because of any particular file which Organizer is unable to write. To confirm this, we need to check if the backup to hard disk works fine.

I get an error message saying, "An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition." when I try to use Boot Camp Assistant to remove my Windows partition.

i don't know how to do

There is a forum for Boot Camp. This is not the forum for the notebook users.
You should always always have backup that you can use to restore your system incase of a problem.
Try booting into Lion Recoverey or from your OS X DVD and choose Disk Utility from Utility menu and repair the disk; try to remove with DU instead of BCA.

Keep getting error occurred while formatting the disk using boot camp with usb

So I keep getting the above error when trying to use boot camp with a USB drive. I have tried with more than one flash drive, all formatted to FAT32, multiple isos, both ripped right from a windows 7 ultimate dvd and downloaded, and I have made sure the iso was unmounted. I have also tried all different combinations of checking the options in the boot camp assistant menu. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

I was mistakenly thinking of the Fat16 limit. That is my mistake.
When bootcamp assistant failed to create the USB from my iso disk (with no explanation), I decided to experiment a little with the dd and cp utilities. dd failed, and cp told me the install file was too big.
The install.wim on my iso is 4,351,019,025 bytes. So even if 4GB is the file size limit, it is too big. 4GB is 4,294,967,296 bytes if I recall.
If I am still right about the file size, smaller editions of windows 7 would be able to fit on the flash drive, or people can have an actual DVD with windows 7 and install from there.

"Error occurred while converting the file 'song name'. The required disk cannot be found"

Hi, I saw this issue in an archived discussion, and I just had the same problem, but figured out how to resolve it.
I think this error is a result of:
A) downloading a new version of iTunes, and;
B) storing my iTunes library on an external hard drive.
Because when the new version of iTunes was downloaded, I found that the destination folder for my iTunes music was no longer selected. Therefore, I was getting the error message: "Error occurred while converting the file 'song name'. The required disk cannot be found" when I tried to import CDs.
To fix: go to:
iTunes>Preferences>Advanced
and specify your destination folder for your music.
Just wanted to share!

Thank you so much! I was in the same situation (iTunes library stored on external hard disk). Strangely, iTunes knew where my music was stored (i.e. if I clicked a song it would link to the library location and play with no problems). But in the "Advanced" settings, the location of my iTunes Library was blank. So I just pointed to the correct location and now everything is working OK! Thanks again.

Error occured while converting the file track #1 the required disk can't be found

I have old CDs, I have new CDs and I have a relatively new MacBook Pro (3 years old) running current software on 10.9.4 OSX Mavericks. My updates are good on my iTunes but it won't let me import ANY CDs that I OWN! Is this the new Apple and it's iTunes update?
Can we not legally put our CDs onto our phones or iPad/iPods any longer? Must I go garage sale-ing for a personal CD player? The code reads; "Error occured while converting the file track #1 the required disk can't be found". My cd drive is fine btw. It reads and shows on my desktop and will also play when I double click the CD icon and play the .aiff file.

I kind of have the suspicion if you were no longer allowed to put CDs on iPods it would be front page news, not something you alone would discover. Anyway, there would probably be a clear message to that effect rather than a technical error message. I would take the technical problem route first rather than suspect you have been targeted for persecution.
Have you restarted iTunes? Have you tried restarting your computer?
Personally I prefer third party rippers such as XLD and Max and you could certainly try one of those to at least isolate the issue to iTunes.

When I tried to back up my computer, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old files, the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.

I haven't backed up my computer in over a year. When I tried to back it up today, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old photos and documents (including all the pictures from the year I studied abroad/traveled a bunch), the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or how I could fix it? I really don't want to lose all those photos

So you were doing a time machine backup to another partition on the same hard drive? Just trying to gather some information so i can provide a helpful response.
