Imovie: Can't make external back-ups. Keep getting error code -36

Hope someone can help. I'm trying to make back-up copies of my movies by saving them to an external harddrive. However each movie gets to a certain stage and the stops with the message 'error code -36'. I've tried two different drives and both ubs and firewire connections but still no luck. What's really odd is that I had no problems until recently with the same drive. I suspect there is something wrong with the drivers for the ports - but how do you reinstall them? I only have the system back-up disc.
Any suggestions gratefully received!!

Its the Iomega Ultramax drive that Apple sells and comes pre-formatted. Also I dont think that's the problem as it used to work, but not any more. It's still possible to back-up photos - its just movies it doesnt like. it gets to the same clip each time and up pops the error code. Have checked the clip and its just video footage nothing more. Have reinstalled the operating system but has made no difference.

  • I can't empty trash. I keep getting error code -8003. What should I do?

    Recently, I found out that I cannot empty my trash. A error windows kept coming up when I try to empty trash. Error code -8003 kept coming up. What should I do?

    Open the trash bin as a Finder window. Hold down option and click "Empty Securely"; this bypasses the permissions issue.

  • I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTunes when I try to update my iTunes Match.  I have turned off iTunes Match, then reinstalled it, but that does not seem to work.  I also get another Error Code (4010) sometimes.  Can someone offer advice?

    I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTuens when  try to update my iTunes Match.  I have turned off Match, then reconnected, but the code keeps coming.  So does Error Code 4010 at times.  Can someone help?

    iTunes store, App Store, iTunes Match and various other services have been down for the past several hours. Apple's System Status page at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ now shows them back up but they are STILL NOT up for me or many other users. The error codes 4000 series refer to connection errors, I've gotten several from 4001-4010 all day. We're kind of at the mercy of Apple at this point. It would be nice if they would give us some notification about their problems since we are paying for their service.

    This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

  • , keep getting error code 1012 and can't reload, hp pavilion dv-7 1450, windows vista 64 bit

    keep getting error code 1012, replaced hard drive,

    If that didnt work try this below:
    1) Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
    2) Type cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
    3) Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll (This registers VB Script with your computer.)
    4) Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program and wait for iTunes to finish installing.
    5) Type regsvr32 \u vbscript.dll (This unregisters VB Script with your computer.)
    THIS ONE COMES WITH A WARNING
    TRY BOTH OF THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK
    AND some thing below to consider about this second step, not the first post
    To enabled, VB Script a scripting language that has been responsible for more trojan and worms floating around the internet than any other on the face of this earth. All in order to install one of the earths most popular programs to get our daily audio fix. So we have to disable security measures built in to protect the operating system from malicious code and leave our selves wide open.This would be the equivalent to Microsoft telling Mac People to disable buffer overflow protection in order to install Microsoft Office for the Mac.

    Try using an ethernet connection if possible, less chance of corruption.
    You can also try this in safe mode
    power off, power on holding the shift key till you see the progress bar then release and allow to finish booting, then try.

  • Keep getting error code 205?

    I am trying to access my free trial of Lightroom.  I have it installed on my other computer and I am trying to install it on this computer, but I keep getting error code 205.  I changed browsers and am using an ethernet cable.  I still get the same error code when I try to install creative cloud.

    you have a corrupted installer.
    retry downloading.  if you continue to have problems with adobe's web site and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  New Adobe Lightroom 6 (CC) Direct Download Links – Free Trials | ProDesignTools
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    I have an old i phone 3G and do not know the password for it. trying to restore it from itunes so my daughter can use it as an ipod but keep getting error code 1015, any help on how to get passed this please?

    Hi ratcat14!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • I keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    i keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).
