HT203477 Does anybody think that "Quicktime Error 50" is an unhelpful message?

I have tried to find out what this means to no avail. Other people encounter this problem when trying to share video using Final Cut Pro but nobody seems to know what its cause is.  I consider this sort of message competely out of order.  Apple should pinpoint the error and tell the user, me, exactly what the problem is, where it is, why it exists, what to do about it or better still fix it itself.  I have tried all sorts of things and still the problem persists.  Any ideas anybody?

This is how you can get around it till it gets fixed.
1.  When you're ready to export, go to preferences and turn off background rendering.
2.  Quick FCXP
3.  Go into your event and project that you're working on and delete the 'renders' folders (they'll recreate themselves when you open again).
4.  Empty the trash.
5.  Re-open FCPX.  Export.
That should fix it for now.  I think a patch will come soon.

  • Anyone getting messages that an "error occurred while delivering this message?"

    My email service form iCloud.com is terrible, anyone getting the message "error occurred while delivering this message?"

    ichoudhury,
    Have you tried the troubleshooting steps suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426 ? Have you tried sending while connected to a different network as well?
    Another good step to try might be resetting network settings. To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Reset. Also, deleting and re-adding the account may be advisable as well.
    Hope this helps,

  • Does anyone think that apple do not have any confidence in their products by only giving a 12 warranty repair or replace rather than a 1 year guarantee?

    I recently got an iphone 4 through my network provider after 4 days of having the product i started to experience problems.  My iphone 4 would start calling people in my contacts without me even touching the phone, at first it was funny but people were not laughing when it was calling them through the night and in the early hours of the morning.  My Network provider sent me a new i phone 4 and collected the faulty one, now the newly replaced iphone 4 after 1 week developed a problem with the camera, the shutter will not open and i cannot use video or take pictures.  I contacted my network provider who have now referred me to apple who say they have a 12 month warranty in place for a repair or replace service, not a 1 year guarantee which makes me think apple have NO confidence in this product at all.  I spoke with apple on the phone and they advised me to go into my local store and they will repair the phone, I advised i do not want the phone repaired as this could cause problems later down the line with the phone itself, but they would not budge saying they would only repair the phone and if worst came to the worst and the phone could not be repaired they would replace the phone.  Because i could not get anywhere on the apple customer service telephone line i was put onto another operator who actually said to me on the phone that apple do not like the phones being opened up as this could cause problems later down the line with the phone.  Now i had said this to his colleague earlier on the telephone, so if this can cause problems later down the line which he confirmed with me, why are apple not replacing the customers mobile phones instead of repairing them if they know that this can cause a problem with the phone in later life.  Me personally am glad i got my phone from a network provider and did not pay £400 - £550 on the iphone 4 as i will be stuck with a refurbished phone now and not a new product this phone is only 1 week old.  I would advise everyone considering an apple product to seriously consider the implications of buying an apple product, as it seems to me even apple do not have enough confidence in their product with only giving out a 12 month warranty and not a guarantee.  The iphone 4 is a great idea but not a reliable one that will last you for years down the line. I couldn't wait to get my iphone 4, now all it gives me is problems. My previous phone was a Sony Ericcson W995 i have had the phone for 2 years 6 months now with no faults and no problems and my partner also has had the same phone for the same amount of time with no problems.  Are new mobile phones not built to last anymore, and if so why such the high cost to the consumer?  This is my first apple product my partner also has an iphone 4 and experiencing the same problems as me and i feel really disappointed and let down, where did all the customers rights go?

    A 12 month warranty and a year 1 year warranty are the same correct, but a 1 year warranty and a 1 year guarantee are totally different.  I sell products in work which have a 1 year guarantee and a 9 years warranty, guarantee means if anything goes wrong with the product in the first year you will get a straight replacement. Warranty means the product will depreciate in value each year.  If you spend £1000 on an item which has 10 years cover divide £1000 by 10 years and your product is depreciating in value each year by £100. so if you had a problem after 2 years and were outwith your guarantee you item would be worth £800 which the manufacturer will give you a credit note so you can purchase an item up to the value of £800 or you can put another £200 to it yourself to either get the same product or a product at the same value you purchased your first item.  Guarantee and warranty are 2 totally different covers.
    Is there also not a cover in the uk on all electrical products for a 5 year term no matter what the product? this one i am unsure of but have been told this is the case.

  • Does anybody noticed that new iPad can be access without security code when using twice smart cover

    My iPad 2 certainly does not do this with its magnetic cover.  I call BS on this -- there's no way that happens as you've described.

  • Does anybody know what Unknown error occured (-50) means?

    Since my last itunes update (7.0.1) I keep getting an error signal when I sync my ipod with iTunes. It says:
    "Cannot update ipod. Unknown error occured (-50)."
    The odd thing is, when I click OK it syncs fine. It's just an annoyance that this warning keeps coming up. All my software is up to date. Any suggestions how to make this warning go away?

    This is the only thing I can find on apples actual website about an error (-50)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93447
    But im not sure if that applies to your problem, you can check it out though.
    Have you gotten any of your songs from limewire? I've seen some posts on another website about this error maybe having something to do with songs from limewire.

  • Does anyone think that?

    the dark knight was one of the best batman movies ever made?

    I have to agree, that I did not like the casting of Rachel.  Maggie is just so far from Katie Holmes.  I will say that Heath Ledger's performance was fantastic, however it was a bit creepy knowing he was no longer alive.
    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! I don't know if I would classify it as one of the best all time movies, but it definitely was well done!

  • QuickTime error -50, (only on Mac Pro workstation)

    Does anyone know what QuickTime error -50 means?
    I'm getting this constantly on my Mac Pro 3.0Ghz workstation, (in Batch Monitor.) At the end of encoding about 3 hours of footage into iPod format, Batch Monitor begins to error on about 3/4 of the encodes left to do, beyond the 3 hours of footage that have already been processed.
    I was told, (by Apple support) that it may be something to do with the hard drives, but they all check out just fine. I also have a G5/quad running the exact same version of compressor and there are no errors during processing, (in batch monitor) no matter how much footage is processed.
    Here's my hard drive configuration on the Mac Pro as well as the G5/quad.
    Boot drive, (running all of my Apps) internal drive on Mac Pro.
    Xserve RAID 10TB, (used for source movie storage, in 10bit uncompressed format, AJA I/o codec.)
    2nd drive, (used for storage of reference movies stored on RAID) internal drive on Mac Pro.
    3rd drive, (used for storing final encoded movies) internal drive on Mac Pro.\
    All software and OS X are new installs, (from original disks.) The drives have been completely erased, formated and new installs of all software, using nothing from the original installs on the Mac Pro, as well as updated to all current versions of software and still the problem persists only on the Mac Pro 3.0Ghz, (4 core) workstation.
    Any guidance on the source of the QuickTime -50 error would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried a Google search, but to no avail, (no mention of QT error -50.)
    I also looked at the error codes list you provided, but it would appear that those codes are related to OS X operation, (unrelated to QuickTime errors) but thanks for trying!
    This is a very strange issue that has plagued me for as long as I have had this Mac Pro. I can take those files that failed with QT error -50, run them again and as long as there part of the first 3 hours of footage that is encoded on the Mac Pro, they will encode just fine. It is after that, that the wheels fall off and the QT -50 errors begin. Very frustrating as you can imagine.
    I'm forced to run no more that three hours of footage at a time, limiting over the weekend encodes, on large batches of footage that needs to be transcoded into iPod format.
    But again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated!

  • Compressor Error: "QuickTime Error: -6662"

    Anybody know what "QuickTime Error -6662" is? I got this after a failed encoding. I was trying to transcode DV25 material down to the iPod format.(H.264 for iPod)

    Interestingly, I modified the Compressor iPod preset to not do MultiPass and Compressor handles the files fine. Perhaps it did run out of memory, though the machine that I'm using has 2GB of RAM plus a lot of HD to spare. Perhaps the multipass mis-manages the memory? Or perhaps it did indeed just run out. Is there a recommendation for free HD space?(if Compressor caches to the drive)

Maybe you are looking for
