MacBook transport monitor error -4960?

I've been using my MacBook with Palm Zire 31 and hotsync for some time and all of a sudden I get, and can't get rid of, "transport monitor error -4960."  I've read all kinds of solutions in this forum and none work.  I've reinstalled, deleted and reinstalled, I've removed permissions, etc.  I can't delete com.palm files becuase I can't find any to delete (search does not fine them.)  What's going on? Why is this happening and how can I fix it?  I have not been able to back-up/synch my Palm since May 15!
Post relates to: Zire 31

Alan,  thanks but the solution provided/suggested did not work.  I'm just about ready to give up on all Palm products at this point.  I followed all the steps to clear out all the Palm files.  I reinstalled the current version for my Apple, and I got the same error.  I then attempted to follow the suggestion for a safe boot and simply just enable the synch and do it that way.  That didn't work either - I got another error indicating the synch was incomplete.  Nothing works.  Why can't Palm just find a work around to Apple's new OS?   The Apple is more expensive than the Palm, so the Apple wins.  Either Palm creates and provides a fix for this or I'm dumping all Palm products...I can't use a PDA that isn't going to be compatible with my laptop.

  • Error Msg: "Transport Monitor"

    I just restarted my MBA and it gave me the following message:
    *Transport Monitor*
    Could not complete your request.
    (16)
    There is a conversation bubble on the left of the window with an exclamation point and an "OK" button...that's it.
    Anyone know what this is all about? It is now popping up every time I restart.
    And on a sidenote, is there a way to add an image to my post here? I took a screenshot of the error message, but couldn't figure out how to include it here so you could see it for yourself.

    You can only link to images hosted somewhere on the web. As for the transport monitor error, a google search brings up many hits, the first of which is http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10331133-263.html

  • Cannot launch "transport monitor"... what is this?

    I just got back from a crash but I think I've been lucky. I booted up from my Tiger startup disc, did an archive and install and I think everything is pretty much ok. I do get one red flag when i log in though and I cannot find any online information about this or what to do. The message: The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a Shared Library error: "8<TransportMonitor><TransportMonitor><HotSyncLib.PPC>".
    I'm guessing 2 files labeled TransportMonitor ended up somewhere and one of them has to go. Any help with this?
    BTW- great Apple Discussions and archives help! I got all my info on the sites and it led me right through the steps I needed! I wish all the companies out there were so user and customer friendly!
    thank-you!

    The error message and component item listed is often in reference
    to an installation of Palm desktop software.
    One of several articles I found as a result of a search of the error
    message ' transport monitor ' that came up says to reinstall the
    Palm software again. If you have done an archive & install,
    or other system changes were made, some of the parts of such
    an application support for hardware may be deficient or corrupt.
    {You could see about removing parts of unused software installs
    by getting and using a utility such as AppDelete.}
    ie: "Error: Transport Monitor could not be launched; fix" - MacFixit:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060508093106808
    Other references to the cause of this Transport Monitor error or fix
    can be seen in other articles or posts from different locations online.
    This topic has also been discussed in Apple Support Discussions.
    ie: google search topic, ' mac os x transport monitor ' results page:
    http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=macos+x+transport+monitor&aq=0&oq=Mac+OS+Xtransport&aqi=g1&fp=leBsIIJAIN0
    If you have and use the Palm product, you may decide to reinstall the
    correct driver software for the item; or find and delete specific parts of
    that driver software using AppDelete (comes up in search) & be rid of it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Transport Monitor problem concerning Treo 680 and MacBook

    When uninstalling Palm software from a MacBook, some people have found it impossible to reinstall Palm software successfully again. They also have a problem synching and a message that flashes up about a "Transport Monitor." May I ask someone who has successfully resolved this problem to post detailed instructions before I am forced to check myself into a psychiatric ward? Thank you.

    Hello James.
     Check out the accepted solution on this page.  I have had some success with those directions. If that doesn't work, you may want to see if the Bluetooth modem option is enabled as described in this post.
    Hope one or both of those two links work for you.

    Hi
    Before create this thread i ask to Palm technical support, because i was looking all the ways possible. This is the answer that i get, try it:
       1     In the finder, search for files called: com.palm.HS
       2     Delete them. Restart then try a HotSync®.
    However if the steps didn’t resolve anything, click on the apple icon at the upper left corner and follow the steps below.
       1     Click SYSTEM PREF.
       2     Click on ACCOUNTS.
       3     Then click STARTUP ITEMS.
    Or
       1     Click SYSTEM PREF.
       2     Click LOGINS ITEMS.
    Then
       1     Check in Preference Applications,
       2     Click on Login items.
       3     Make sure that Palm Desktop Background and Transport Monitor are listed only once. Otherwise, trash the duplicates.
       4     Restart the Mac.
    And then,
       1     Check on the folder:
    Hard drive > applications > utilities >
       2     Run disk utilities.
       3     Choose the hard drive.
       4     Click on disk permissions.
       5     Click on verify disk permissions. This would take sometime to complete.
       6     After the process is done, restart the Mac again.
    Basically is the same that Alan say, but the try deleting com.palm.HS

  • Transport Monitor could not complete your request (16)

    Transport Monitor could not complete your request (16) is the message I keep getting lately when I try to hotsync my palm IIIc with my 24inch imac running OSX 10.4.11. I'm also using Keyspan serial adaptor for the palm to a USB port. I've been able to hotsync on this machine before the only thing different was that I unplugged the cable once from the USB port to use a flash drive. Now everytime I try to enable hotsync via the hotsync software setup panel I get the above message.
    Any ideas about what to do? Thanks in advance.
    Post relates to: Palm IIIc

    I have recently been receiving a "Transport Monitor could not complete your request" error, though with the tag (-4960) at the end.  This error appears upon computer startup, ever since I had to reinstall Mac OX 10.5.2 on my computer.  Everything worked fine with the same computer until that reinstallation.  Now, nothing happens on my computer when I try to USB-synch my Treo 680, though it works fine on other computers.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions.  I have also tried deleting all the files for Palm Desktop and reinstalling it.  When I did so, I received the same error message during the installation process!
    What can I do?
    Thanks 
    EDIT: Perhaps relatedly, something seems to be malfunctioning in the HotSync Manager application.  When I open it, the default window with "HotSync Software Setup" does not open.  I can select other menu options (e.g. "Install Handheld Files" ), but if I select "Setup" from the HotSync menu, nothing happens.

  • Error -4960

    My computer seems to be having difficulties extracting the Adobe Trial files after downloading.
    An error message has come up which says:
    "The following disk images can't be opened Design Premium_CS5_5 error -4960."
    I am trying to download to a MacBook Pro operating Mac OS X version 10.7.3
    Could you please advise what the problem is and what I need to do to fix it?
    Thanks!

    This would seem to indicate that the DMG file you downloaded is corrupted.  I would recommend trying the download again.  What type of an Internet connection are you using btw?
    Alternately you can also follow the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.  Although that may not solve your issue if it is an Internet connection issue.

  • G5 giving "Transport Monitor - 16"

    Every time I boot up I get a "transport Monitor was unable to complete your request - 16" error notice. What does this mean?

    Look in your start up items and see if Transport monitor is there if so, delete it, it is part of the Palm OS.

  • SQL Exceptions, transport-level errors on SharePoint 2010 App Server

    SharePoint 2010 becomes inaccessible 2-3 times per day. It happens at approximately the same times: 8 PM, 1 AM and 1 PM. It is inaccessible for about 3-4 minutes and then comes back on its own.
    During the time it is down, we see the following errors in the event viewer on the application server:
    EventID: 5586 Task Category: Database -
    Unknown SQL Exception 64 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.
    (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
    EventID: 3 Task Category: None -
    .Net SqlClient Data Provider: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error:
    0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
    EventID: 6398 Task Category: Timer -
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Monitoring.HealthStatUpdateJobDefinition (ID f9db48f1-f115-47ab-99b6-552460cbb782) threw an exception. More
    information is included below. A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
    EventID: 8086 Task Category: Business Data -
    The BDC Service application failed due to a SQL Exception: SQLServer host ums1spd1v. The error returned was: 'A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to
    the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'
    The SharePoint logs have errors during the same time period saying the same kinds of things: Sql exception raw message: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server,
    The specified network name is no longer available, etc.
    Our network administrator has looked at the issue and cannot find any network problems. 
    He setup a continuous ping from the app server to the database server. 
    Even during the times these errors are occurring, the app server is still able to reach the database server. 
    However, you cannot ping the app server itself during this time.
    Our database administer cannot find any SQL Server issues. 
    There are no errors in the event viewer or the SQL logs on the database server.
    In Central Admin, we can see that one or two jobs fail with SQL errors during the times these errors take place.
     It is almost always the “User Profile Service Application – User Profile Language Synchronization Job” and often the “Health Statistics Updating” or “Crawl Log Report for Search Application Search Service Application”. 
    These jobs run successfully at many other times during the day.
    Is there a good way to tell if the database, network or SharePoint itself is the root of these problems? 
    The database and network guys say there are no problems in their areas, but all I can find in the SharePoint logs is that it can’t reach the database server.
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

    Since these seem to happen at very specific times, I would run a NetMon trace at that window to capture what is going back and forth (or perhaps the timer service is just unable to reach the SQL server).

  • How can I tackle error 4960 while downloading Master Collection CV5?

    I'm using a Macbook Pro. It took some 40 hours over 3 days to download CS5 (thorugh wifi) and at the end of it...it showed me the following error....
    The following disc images could not be opened
    Image                                Reason
    MasterCollection_CS5_       error -4960
    Now it just say Extracting...it might take a while!!!
    Is this error because i did not download at one go?  Pl help... I do not want to go through the ordeal of another download!!

    if your still having problems downloading i figured it out. the download you first tried was interrupted and didnt download completely so what you have to do is
    1) in the top right of a mac click search and search for MasterCollection_CS5_ (or what you error is IE photoshop_12_1 ect...)
    2) the click "show all in finder"
    3) look for the .dmg file "MasterCollection_CS5_.dmg" and delete it
    4) try to down load again WITHOUT interuption.
