ITunes 12 'error occurred converting the file the disk is not available'

Hi,
looking for some advice on an issue with importing disks into iTunes 12.0.01.26 on Windows 7
I import a CD and the first song generally imports successfully
However I noticed the second song (or sometimes the fourth) fails with the following :
'error occurred converting the file the disk is not available'
I can manually untick the first songs that have imported successfully and re-import the remainder.
Generally another song will import and the error will reoccur. I can continue this laborious process until the CD is fully imported
I can rip CD's using Windows Media Player without any issue so it doesn't look like an optical drive issue
I have checked under Preferences - Advanced and the iTunes media folder is apparent. I'm using an external drive for my iTunes Library.
Attempts to Resolve
I tested by setting up an iTunes library under my C:\ and the issue reoccurs.
I've tried repairing the installation but it made no difference.
I tried removing the iTunesPreferences.plist file - no difference
I have switched off (and back on) the automatic prompt to import CD's
Turned off and on error checking when importing CD's
I have noticed the prompt to import the CD can pop up at least twice, often again when an import is underway
I would be grateful for any suggestions on remedial steps I could take!
Many Thanks
Paul

Hey Paul_Ramone,
Sorry to hear you are having these issues with iTunes on your Windows machine. If you continue having issues importing tracks from CDs into iTunes (after the first track), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

JZ0I6:An error occured converting UNICODE to the charset used by the server

Hi Friends,
I am using weblogic 8.1 and I developed one MD Bean(Message Distributor Bean). Which takes message from JMS queue and pulish it to JMS Topic. Database is sybase. I was facing this issue.
I am facing following issue:

Please give me the solution.

This problem has resolved. I added one line: "CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS=com.sybase.jdbc2.utils.PureConverter" into weblogic datasource.
In Internet I got lot's of article but it was worst. There were giving solution on Weblogic 4 or some old version. Generally on internet you will get article:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v4r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.support.was40.doc/html/DB_Connections_Connection_Pooling/swg21066787.html
This article is giving information about weblogic 4.
But We need to solve the issue into weblogic into 8. So in datasource set property: CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS=com.sybase.jdbc2.utils.PureConverter. Do not set property: CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS=com.sybase.jdbc2.utils.TruncationConverter

Photoshop cse 5 error "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available" using Maverick

I am getting the following error:
"Could not open scratch file because disk is not available"
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on the Mac Operating System "Maverick". The application is currently loaded on an external bootable drive. I created an external bootable drive using "Disk Utilities". I've changed the directory /private/ to 777 using the following command "chmod -R 777 /private/". I have created the external bootable drive in the event that my current internal drive crashes. I would just then have to swap the drives out. I created the external bootable drive using DYNEX SATA Hard drive enclosure.
Photoshop General Discussion

I searched around and found the answer. My question was to specific. Jim Olvera had the same problem and this was the solution with the help of Adobe Support.
OS X Mavericks. I was able to resolve it after a chat discussion with Adobe support. It is indeed a permissions issue apparently, but not one that can be resolved with Disk Utility. I was able to change to another scratch disk by holding down "Command + Option" as I launched Photoshop, and that did it. Still can't use the previous disk as a scratch, though, even though permissions have been repaired.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I could not even get to the point where "Photoshop" would even open up.
Thank you everyone!

When trying to back up to a WD My Passport I get a message that says the back up disk is not available. Any ideas?

When trying to back up to a WD My Passport I get a message that says the back up disk is not available. Any ideas?

Find and run the Disk Utility program. In the list on the left side of the program window you should see two hard drives - the internal Mac drive and one labeled with Western Digital's name. (Not exactly sure how the WD drives appear.) Under each of those drives there will be another indented drive name. See picture below.
If you don't see two drives there's your problem - for some reason the Mac doesn't recognize that there's an external drive plugged in. Check cables, etc.
More than likely though you will see the two drives. See how in the picture I've selected the indented drive icon? Do the same for your WD drive. Now look at the bottom where it says Format. To use TimeMachine your format needs to be Mac OS Extended (journaled) and I'm betting it doesn't. After you've done that TM will be able to use the drive.

If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more
clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to
prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

Time machine error - the back up disk is not available. Time machine no longer backs up.

My time machine quit backing up 2 weeks ago. How can I fix it?

Did you try the simple stuff?? Reboot the TC.. next.. reboot the whole network restarting in correct order?? ie modem.. TC.. client computers.. with 2min gap.
No luck we need to know more..
What modem.. is it a router?
What TC.. what firmware.. how is it connected?
What OS on the computer?

Time Machine; The back up disk is not available

Hello,
I have a time machine that has failed to sync since April. I am problem solving now. I deleted the backup disk in order to begin fresh and followed some threads on how to do so. I restarted the back up, now it is telling me the disk is unavialable. Any ideas?

Best to erase the Time Capsule drive correctly and then start over. (This will wipe the drive clean, so be sure to move any other data that you might have on the Time Capsule drive to another location)
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the next box
Click the Disks icon at the top of the next window
Click Erase
Choose the Quick Erase option....will only take a minute or two
Click Erase Disk
Then, set the path again for backups as above in the previous post and give it a go

Error occurred moving data from the transformation RECON_SEQ_GEN: to the transformation FILTRANS.

Hi,
Today one my task in the DAC Etl failed and when I opened the DAC log file of it. I saw the error description as below
Error while contacting Informatica server for getting workflow status for PLP_SRC_WH_AP_Invoice_Reconciliation
Error Code = 36331:Unknown reason for error code 36331
Since there is no much information in DAC log file about the failure, I opened the PLP_SRC_WH_AP_Invoice_Reconciliation session log file.
The error description in the session log file says.

I keep getting an error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space. What does this mean?

I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?

Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily. Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ? How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD. It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go. What is my computer's name?
Please someone help! I'm completely stumped.
Thanks,
Maggie
Mac Help says:
If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
Open Time Machine preferences
Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open Disk Utility
Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available.
Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password.
On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes.
Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

Hello,

Time machine: An error occurred while copying files. The problem could be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.

Time machine backups are failing. I've followed the instructions I found on the Time Machine troubleshooting page (http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html) but have gotten to where I don't know what to do next.
Sequence of events:
The main error message is always:
An error occurred while copying files. The problem could be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.
Yesterday, I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk. Got this error:
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
I ran Disk Utility and repaired the hard drive. Then I manually started the backup before going to bed, figuring it was going to take a long time to run. When I got up this morning, the backup had failed with the same "could be temporary" error. I checked the log, which says:

You have repaired your boot drive (which is good) but have you repaired your time machine drive? I don't own a Time Capsule so I don't know if disk utility can operate on it. If it can, you should repair it as well. You may need to erase it and start a new backup. That happens to time machine volumes from time to time and is why people who are serious about their data never rely on a single source of backup.

I get the following error everytime I download something from the internet:-"/Users/vinaypunjabi/Downloads/Ontario Colleges Chart(2)(1).pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file".

I get the following error everytime I download something from the internet:-"/Users/vinaypunjabi/Downloads/Ontario Colleges Chart(2)(1).pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file".
Then it shows as downloading failed.But if I click on it twice ,it opens up .
this has started happening since last week.Before this ,it never happened.
Please suggest what has gone wrong somewhere and how can I rectify it.

Please install the following add-on to see if it helps.

Error Warning that Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to disk, an error occurred while copying files.

I've been getting this warning on my MBA for the last week: "Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “LaCie-2big-NAS.” an error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, us Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I have MBA and iMac, both running Maverick (10.9.4), backed up to LaCie NAS. However, when I go to Disk Utility on the MBA and the iMac, the LaCie does not appear and thus can't be selected to run repair. The iMac seems to be backing up to LaCie without problem. And even seems that MBA is backing up sometimes; when I check Time Machine, I can find files added in the last couple of days.
Is this a real problem? What's fix?
Thanks

You can't repair a network volume in Disk Utility.
Backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. I know this isn't the answer you want, and I also know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
If you're determined to keep using the NAS for backup, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)
