The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

    When trying to empty trash, (securely or not), I get this: The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).  FWIW, there are nearly 3000 items in my Trash - although this does not seem the source of the problem.

    i am getting an error code of "0" when trying to buy an in app purchase. what is this error?

    In your first post you wrote
    It is telling me I need 6MB of additional free space
    And in your second post
    Importing to internal hard drive 6.85GB available
    Even assuming that the GB was a typo and should be MB you're still on the hairy edge.

  • I have cs4. Had to rebuild my mac OS after malware infected it. Now getting an error code 150:30 when trying to open PS. Can this be fixed or do I have to upgrade to cs6?

    150:30 means licensing is broken. It's a common CS4 error. On Macs it usually happens when Photoshop is retrieved from backup or migrated from another Mac. Photoshop is never meant to be moved that way. As advised, you should uninstall and reinstall from your discs.
    Sine reinstall only apply the base install and the CS4 Help > Update function is outdated, you will have to manually download and install your updates from here:  Product updates for Bridge and Photoshop.

    My Ipod has an error code of 1604 when trying to restore.  I have followed all recommended instructions...any ideas.??

    If you did all of this
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Just in case, let's try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    Kathleen I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.

  • Error code: 213.19 when trying to us Premier Elements 11.

    First, I got the error code: 213.19 when trying to us Premier Elements 11..  I uninstalled and tried again...still getting it.  From what I have read on this forum, it is a licensing issue.  Any suggestions.

    wiiman
    From what you wrote, you are not seeking to deactivate a Premiere Elements serial number from crashed computer. So, the chances seem slim to none about Adobe Chat helping you with a non current version issue. That does not stop you from finding that out for yourself, but I just wanted to prepare you for that possibility.
    Have you tried to troubleshoot the issue yourself in ways other than uninstall reinstall?
    Have you gone through the Adobe document for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on this issue? If not, please review the following Adobe document

    Please review, consider, and let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Error code -8003 when trying to empty trash on external HD

    Hi I have a 2008 MacBook and a couple of external drives by iomega. Yesterday I was trying to copy 15 gb of files from my MacBook to my USB external drive, and didn't have enough space. So I attempted to delete all my Time Machine backups from 2011 (the oldest ones) from the USB external in an attempt to free up space. Time Machine began doing an auto backup while this was happening. I let it run while I slept, then this morning found I cannot empty the Trash when the USB external drive is connected and turned on. The Trash contains all the backups I was trying to delete yesterday, and when I try to empty Trash it says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8003)". I have run Disk Utility to "verify" the USB external and it checked out ok. I've also rebooted both MacBook and restarted the USB external. Any other ideas on how I can get the trash to empty?

    Hi Andvari,
    If you are having issues emptying the Trash on your MacBook, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Error code 8003 when trying to empty trash

    I searched the Internet for a while trying to find an answer to this, but I can't seem to come across one. On my own I was able to determine the cause for the problem, to some degree, but I don't know how to fix it. I have repaired my permissions.
    Every time I try to empty my trash with the office update installer package "15089Office 2008 12.2.5 Update" in it I get the message: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."
    I'm not sure what to do. Figures it is a Windows program causing me grief. All I want to do is put it in the trash and get rid of it forever. I honestly have no idea why this isn't working.
    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Hi s:
    Here is a thread that seems to have addressed the problem. Hard to tell, but some program called trash it appears to have worked with the code:
