IDisk error code 5016

So, a few days ago I received my Snow Leopard software update cd and tried to install it. My cd drive wouldn't take any discs. It felt like there was a blockage on the right side (closest to the screen). First, I removed the keyboard to make sure the cd drive was connected properly. It was. Then I googled some tips and decided to try and insert a blank cd. I read that someone just "forced" a cd in to unblock the drive and then it worked fine. Well, now there is a cd stuck in my drive and I can't get it out. When I clicked on iDisc in the devices menu, the error message came up that said "Your iDisk is not available because connecting to the iDisk server failed". And gave the error code 5016. I haven't had any luck with googleing a solution and have already tried rebooting while holding down the option key and typing in codes in the Terminal.
Please help! I just started a new job and need to update my system without paying someone to fix this first. All suggestions welcome!

Thanks, I saw that thread the other day. Unfortunately, it was of little help. Here's some more info about my situation:
My macbook was originally owned by my sister and given to me a month ago. After receiving it, I changed all of the names to reflect the new owner like the short name and all that jazz. By doing so, I've now realized that I erased the saved info for the mobileme account and that was a mistake. I am a new mac user and didn't realize the connection between the mobileme account and the idisk. I have since tried, with my sister's help, to log back into the mobileme with no luck and obviously cannot create my own. I have an iphone and through that an icloud account, but can't update my macbook to icloud without first inserting the software update cd I have... which I cannot seem to do since my idisk isn't working. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

IDisk connection error (error code -5016)

Hi all
I have recently been unable to get to my iDisk and keep getting the following error:
Your iDisk is not available because connecting to the iDisk server failed.
An unexpected error occurred )error code - 5016).
Any ideas what this error is? We recently had a new Watchguard installed so I am wondering if that is somehow blocking access?
Hope some can help
Jordy

Hi,
Check to see if you can log into your mobilme account by re-logging system preferences.
Check this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1298323. See if it helps.
You might want to disable watchgaurd for the time being and if that improves the situation.
If you really need to access idisk via finder, make a connection to the server with these details
https://idisk.mac.com/username. Enter in password and you should have your disk.

What does error code -5016 mean?

What does error code -5016 mean? My computer spits out my DVD or CD.

At random places in my packages, I randomly (not always) get this general netwrok error (I am including the first line just to show the line right above the error line):

HELP error code 5016 iDisk

Hi all
Does anyone know what I can do? I dont have a mobileme account cuz i don't have a credit card and its the only way you can get one. And the only help ive been given is to log out and then back into mobileme.
It has nothing to do with my internet because thats working fine, it just says that i can't access it for some reason. Ive logged in and out, restarted, shut down, none of it seems to be helping. Its really annoying me because I can't download anything at the moment.
Help would be much appreciated..thanks!!
Lauren

I had to go into the System Preferences and click on Mobile ME, then log out (if you're logged in) and then login again and I was able to get to my idrive just fine...

Your idisk can't be synchronized at this time. error code 14?

I lost idisk, unable to access get error code: Your iDisk can't be synchronized at this time (error code 14).

iDisk has closed down. It was killed off when MobileMe shutdown in June 2012.
Apple sent emails informing customers years ago.
Look at Dropbox as an alternative, or you can use iCloud if your Mac is on a recent OS (10.7 & higher).

The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found. (Error code -43)

When I attempt to add files to...or copy to the desktop of my mac, my icloud (idisk ..the blue icon on my desktop) is giving this error:
The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found.
(Error code -43)
I've been searching for info on that error code, but I'm not find anything on (many different error codes, but not -43).

I get an error -36.
I did the dot_clean in the terminal.
Did not fix it.

Error Code -36 in Finder

Ok, first of all the following issue is NOT fixed by doing dot_clean <path name> in Terminal, as suggested by Googling. I've had that issue before with FAT memory sticks, and it works, but it does NOT solve the following issue (that issue was solved in 10.6.3 anyway, and my problem below is happening in 10.6.3 and 10.6.4).
Basically I have 17 mkv video files in my downloads folder, all 4.7GB each. I tried to move them to my external HD (connected to another Mac) over the network, as I always do when putting media on my Mac Mini, and it failed on the first one at 2.08GB with Error Code -36, full error:
"The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “filename.mkv” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)"
The same thing happened with files 4 and 9 (not at 2.08GB, but at some other point), but 2, 3, etc and the rest all moved just fine.
I tried copying them instead of moving them, exact same problem.
I tried using Terminal to copy then using the cp command, same problem (wasn't Error Code -36, but "Input/Output Error", but according to Google it's the same thing)
I tried putting them into a sub folder within Downloads and using cp -r to copy the whole folder, same problem.
I tried connecting the external USB drive (it's Mac OS Journaled by the way) directly to my MacBook Pro and copying them, same problem.
I can't even copy/paste them where they are (i.e. if I just select the first one and do Cmd-C, Cmd-V to make a copy in the source folder), I get the exact same problem.
I even booted into Windows 7 through Parallels and tried using Windows to copy them to the external HD, same problem (again, not Error Code -36, but some generic I/O error).
What I CAN seem to be able to do without error is move them around my MacBook Pro hard drive (not copy, but move).
Any ideas?
Thanks

If you are trying to write to a FAT formatted volume then the error is produced because you are trying to transfer files that exceed the 4 GB file limit of the FAT32 filesystem.
Otherwise the problem may be due to actual file corruption, filenames that are too long, or filenames with illegal characters. If you are trying to transfer a folder containing the files, then you should try copying each file individually which sometimes works.
Search the forums for other discussions of the problem as well as additional Google searching. There's a wealth of discussion on the topic. There are many different causes of the error as well as solutions.
Also see this article which is tangentially related: Troubleshooting iDisk connection issues.

I have been exporting lightroom webgaleries to my iweb site without any problem. Suddenly I get the error message "finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written" - error code -36 - thoughts?

Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

Cannot delete file from external hard drive (error code 36) in Finder, but Terminal is ok

I have a relatively new Macbook Pro Retina 15" and have a Western Digital 1 TB Passport. I've been using the passport for about a year now without any problems on older Macbooks in my house. I used to be able to read and write to this drive no problem. I am using the Paragon NTFS for Mac software in order to read and write to the NTFS drive. When I navigate through the drive in Finder, if I try to create a new folder, I do not have a problem. If I try to delete that folder I just created, I get this error:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “untitled folder” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
The folder has nothing in it whatsoever. I just created it. But if I go to Terminal and I run
rm -rf "untitled folder"
This works fine. Why is Terminal acting different than Finder? This does not happen on my other Macbooks. Thanks in advance.

Thanx for such qucik reply!!! The pages were great, it had an answer for my problem, but unfortunately it also involved me dealing with it only on the MacIntosh HD itself, not on mounted external drive I suppose... So it didn't work they say that there is an icon in the left corner indicating locked folder - I don't see any icon on it. It says you can untick the box to unlock the folder - there is no tick to be unticked. Finally, they say that if I don't have permition or rights I cannot delete it. But how do i change permittion which already says that i can read and write in it? So everything appears to be normal only I cannot delete it. there is not even any warnig telling me I don't have enough rights, it just requires the password and after me typing it in it makes the sound of scraping paper but does nothing more. I aslo had some problems with emptying Trash after being seemingly succesful with one file and had got so far to have them appear in the Trash (no clue how this one actully got there though..) I followd the advice and emptied the Trash with Terminal. The Folder is still there but it shows 0 Kb... So far so good BUT: It is still on the external drive, so I obviously only managed to copy it into the Trash!!! Phew, innit a bit too tight to poor owners, this macbook?? I want my rights back!

Report generation failed----error code:-17205; Access Denied.

Hi, All
    i have a trouble about report generation.it seems the error happened at the "write UUT report"--this step is teststand report generation'DLL.
    detail:
    An error occurred calling 'Save' in 'Report' of 'NI TestStand 2010 SP1 API'
Access Denied.. Error writing to file 'D:\program\seq\xxx.xml'.
The file might be open in another application. If file access is intermittently denied, you should try disabling the Microsoft FindFast utility.

    locationtep 'Write UUT Report' of sequence 'Single Pass' in 'SequentialModel.Seq'
    How to fix it?
    Thanks a lot.

Hm, it looks like the file might be open in another application. If you see that file accesss is intermittently denied, you should try disabling the Microsoft FindFast utility.

* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Capturing oracle error codes into a variable

Can someone show me how it is possible to save an Oracle defined error code into a variable? What I am trying to do is when a stored procedure fails an Oracle error is raised, such as ORA-xxxx, then pass this code into variable to be saved into a log.

Error Code:942 While Scheduling a report in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I am trying to schedule one report in BI Publisher.
After Clicking Submit Button while scheduling report,i get following error:

Kindly Help me in resolving this issue
Regards

i know the issue,i can give quick fix, but in-order to make sure you don't get another glitch like this.
I would recommend, you to install the scheduler in another schema or another db.
Re-installing the scheduler schema tables will fix this.
