I tried to backup computer contents, but could not because "finder can't complete the operations becaus some data in "....JPG" can't be red or written (error code-36)"  What is this?

Question:  I tried to backup my computer contents, cut coun't because "finder can't compelte the operation because some data in ........JPG (an iphoto image)
can't be read or written (error code -36)  What is this error and how can I correct it?
Thanks,
betteyp

I am backing up on two different drives...one is on the time machine...the one I am having trouble with is a passport that I back up manually.  I have not gotten a notice from the backup on the time machine that there is an error. 
Before this error occured....the "event" that the photo was in emptied without me doing anything.  This has happened before, when the total number of pictures that I have downloaded for the day, the events emptied overnight without me doing anything (????????)
Can you explain more what is happening.....
Thanks

    That code is

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk.  If that fails to help I'd try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Error: the database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation in sql server 2008 ?

    I am trying to rename the database but i am getting below exception while doing it-->
    Error: the database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation.(Microsoft Sql Server,Error 5030)
    Thanks.

    as mentioned earlier by both these users just wait for all the connections to go and then try- it will succed
    or else if it is dev\Uat environment & you can kill the conenctions - make the changes (use this as last option)
    i was just wondering if you are connected to the same DB? If yes change your context to master(means connect to master DB ) and then issue this command.

  • HT4061 Hello:  My 4S phone went off and I tried to restore it but get a 4014 error code.  What is this code and how can I get it to restore?

    Hello:  My 4s phone turned off and when I tried to restore I got a 4014 error.  What is this error and how do I restore the phone?

    Hello Linda,
    Thank you for the details of the error you are getting when trying to restore your iPhone.  I recommend the steps below for error 4014:
    Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • Error Code = -1: What is this and whats wrong?

    Does or has anyone encountered a problem with iMovie '08 where I try to export a movie, be it thru youtube or as a standard .mov, and it crash with error code 1? Any help would be appreciated!
    Justin Holt

    This is a general error and could be caused by a number of things but the first thing I would suspect is that the source has become corrupt, which could mean files from either your event folder or your project folder.
    Have you tried moving or amending any of these files in the finder or has the mac been shut down improperly or imovie crashed while you were working on this project.

  • HT201250 An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). what does this error code mean ?

    mac airport time machine i tried to open up error code 6584 would not open please help !

    First, I strongly suggest that you make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. You should do that anyway. One backup isn't enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
    1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
    2. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
    3. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the TC again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.

  • Error Code #8248 What is This?

    I got a new laptop over the holidays and every "escape the fate song" i buy on itunes has always had an error code #8248 if anyone can tell me what this code means and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have been having the same problem. Last night I tried downloading 3 songs and got the same message. None of the songs downloaded but they all show up in my purchase history. I am mad because it shows the charge for all 3 songs. I emailed them about the problem. They told me to turn off my firewall (it was already off) and to turn off any acceleration programs I have on (I don't have one). I emailed them again to see what else I can do. I even sent the full error message.
