My skype keeps getting a Disk I/O error

Hello, I started having this problem maybe one month ago, I check what was suggested to do when this happens but it still keeps happening. I turn on my skype and start talking with friends and suddenly in turns off and shows that error. Can someone help me with this?

Have you checked the disk for errors? Either using chkdsk.exe command line or by reightclicking the drive > properties > tools > check for errors (all test, do reboot). You should consider the possibillity that there actually is something wrong with the drive. Also kan you post the error message from event viewer? Also clear out temp files, winkey + r > cleanmgr.exe Make sure the system drive has enough space free (a couple of GB will do), and that you have the correct NTFS permissions to write to Skypes filesystem. As usual, deactivate ALL securety software to make sure the software isn't causing this (turn back on afterwards offcourse).

  • How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

    How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed but it still kept getting stuck on the apple loading screen.

    You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
    That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
    Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
    on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
    start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
    An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
    Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
    a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
    could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
    get a new hard drive installed inside.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Since installing OS 10.8 keep getting "This disk was not ejected properly" messages. Why?

    Since I installed Mountain Lion (OS 10.8) on my Mac Book Pro (early 2011), I keep getting "This disk was not ejected properly" messages. No yet sure what I do preceeding this occurence. Anyone else have this problem?

    I am one of those who had experienced this kind of problem.  My former Time Machine disk used to automatically eject itself when my iMac sleeps, hence upon waking up my iMac. i always get the error message that the disk was not properly ejected.
    From what I was able to gather from my experience, until the time that I found a workable solution, I think I can say that the problem is most probably caused by the incompatibility of certain external drives with how the iMac operates when on sleep and upon waking up.  Some external drives are just not able to cope with how the iMac tries to remount a connected disk after it wakes up from sleep.  There are just some external drives that cannot continue to be mounted after the iMac wakes from sleep.  There are just some external drives that are not responsive enough. In other words, the existence of the problem lies with the type of external drive you are using.
    My former Time Machine disk, the problematic one, was an Imation M300 Apollo 1 TB external disk.  It unmounts everytime my iMac went to sleep, but does not remount after waking up the iMac.  The disk will continue to be unmounted until I physically remove its USB connector and replug it in the iMac.
    I replaced my former Time Machine disk with my current one, a Transcend Storejet 1 TB.  And the problem went away.  The Transcend disk continue to be mounted after the iMac is woken up even from the longest of sleep.  I have even the energy saving option "put the hard disk to sleep..." checked.  The Transcend disk comes with a Y cable, i.e. it has two USB connectors, but I only connect the one for both data and power--and it still remains mounted even after waking the iMac from sleep.
    The sad realization, however, is that since there are only some external drives that are not able to work with the iMac, no matter how many those some may seem to be, it will be highly unlikely for Apple to itself fix this kind of a problem.
    I, therefore, make the following recommendations:
    1.  Check first if your problematic disk has a firmware upgrade available.  In some cases, the firmware upgrade may be enough to make the disk more responsive to the iMac waking up.
    2.  If there is no firmware upgrade available, check if your power/data USB cable is properly working.
    3.  If your power/data USB cable is in order, and the problem still persists, I think it is inevitable that you have to replace the problematic disk with a newer one that could respond well with the iMac's wake/sleep operation.  With what disk will you replace your problematic one?  I can only recommend from my personal experience the Transcend disk I mentioned earlier.  You may also search this forum on other brands of disks that may also work.
    Regards.

  • How can I fix my Time Machine? I keep getting "The disk image "Mike's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use."

    My Time Machine won't back up. I keep getting: "The disk image “Mike’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is in use. Try ejecting the disk image."
    I've Googled and tried different suggestions from forums, but nothing works. Most of the suggestions are too old anyway. It's doing my head in!
    I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2.

    Cannot install snow leopard. Keep getting"os product manager domain error-100"

    Just to double check,
    1: you are hold c or option/alt key booted from the 10.6 disk that came with your machine
    2: you are in Disk Utility and you have selected the drive makers name and disk size on the left
    3: you attempt to click Partition tab, click on the big box, select 1 partition, select option: GUID and format OS X exteneded Journaled and it reports "can't unmount disk"
    4: you do have no other drives connected to the machine
    If that's all true, then you need to quit Disk Utility and use Terminal and try to force unmount the disk

    Once the drive is unmounted, then hopefully you should be able to format it in Disk Utility

    Hey Cassblue21,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. While you may have already attempted most of the steps outlined in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case you missed something. The article includes great isolation steps to determine if the issue is user-specific, or system-wide. Once you have isolated the issue, a few solutions are offered:

  • Keep getting Cannot save library file error -50 message on my PC

    I keep getting "cannot save library file error -50 when I open up iTunes on my PC
    Won't download music purchased on iPhone4 to iTunes in my PC

    Same issue here. Running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and newest version of iTunes. Normally happens when I am ripping a CD into iTunes and by chance multi task or the screen saver kicks in.
    What ***** is if you walk away while ripping a CD(because it takes 3 times as long in iTunes vs any other ripper), and it will halt your ripping until you click "ok". I have not tried the "dont tell me again" check box just in case it is a problem I need to know about. This happened about 2 or 3 days after upgrading to Vista and I got an empty library the next time I opened the library. Somehow it got corrupted. Luckily I back up the xml file and just restored that one file from last back up.
    (off subject but also getting the maxed our processor still in the newest version for Windows Vista. Wish they would fix that!)

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Hi there,
    If you have a closer look at message you are receiving it already states the problem. The domain 71-12-190-31.dhcp.leds.al.charter.com is blacklisted by spamhaus.org (is in an RBL).
    Your TB is (my guess) setup to send the message directly to the recipient.
    As a rule of thumb the majority of mail sent from a dynamic dns address (the kind of address you are getting from your ISP) is blacklisted as a precaution against spam abuse due to virus/trojan infected PC's.
    Nothing you can change there. Stop sending the message directly and use your ISP's account instead.
