    I am really unhappy about the mess that is appleid and the rigmarole I have had to go through to try and make anything work - which it doesn't from the latest error message to be emitted by iTunes for reasons that don't seem right.
    I used to have a working home network which allowed me to share iTunes. I have an AppleTV 2, 2 airport expresses, mac book pro with Mac OSX. I also had Facetime working just before  Lion came along. Then everything went to ****. I should also mention I had a me.com id, which might  factor into this whole mess as well as an appleid that was tied to a develop id.
    It was about this point that my appleid had to be changed to something that looked like an email address, but wasn't - why should the appleid have to look like an email address? But not be allowed to be one? It's just an identifier - it's NOT an email address.
    Things seem to keep changing in a way that has no rhyme or reason about it - all hidden from view - slowly, gradually, insideously. Things behave slightly differently, but there is no way to really understand what specific configuration should work and what should not work. Yeah sure I have updated to every latest release of software, but things still don't work, they just don't work in different ways.
    So every week or so I come back to trying to recover my once working array of apple gadgets, which are no longer really integrated.
    Up until this morning I could actually send music to airport express and apple tv2 - today nothing - the devices did not show up in iTunes. So what changed? I presume iTunes got an update I did not notice this last week. Oh and airports have had issues for a while with dropping connections, especially if you have more than one (as I do). So I brought up the air port utilty and lo and behold there is a software update for it - installed that and it now appears in iTunes (again).
    But - the appleTV2 has gone. So back to diagnostics. It seems that home sharing now is now tied to appleid, which I have had huge issues with trying to make work. I used to simply have a convention that the id I used for everything apple was the same, and this just seemed to work. Now it seems I need a real working appelid in order to just use home sharing.
    I have never been able to make appleid work. It worked up to the point it had to be changed to be something that looked like an email adrress but wasn't.
    I went through several iterations with it trying to get Facetime to work - all to no avail and bascially gave up on it completely. Untill I had to go back to it today to simply try and get home sharing of itunes to work with appletv.
    So - I setup a nice new AppleId, created a nice new gmail address, and verified the email address from the Appleid site - so far so good. But of course they are not the same becuase the appleid is not an email adddress - nuts. Then I went back into iTunes and connected iTunes with the nice new AppleID. Then I tried to make home sharing work and got the message in the title of this email.
    I have read other posts about this subject that seem to suggest that what I have done should make it work - it doesn't.
    And I have not even tried to make Facetime work (again) and iCloud was hopeless when I tried it last - more error messages that did not makes sense despite having done everything "right."
    I work with software everyday. Maybe I am just a special case who has had far too many touch points with apple for them to be able to consolidate my relationships with them into a single "appleid" - if this is indeed what is going on here - is it? please tell me.
    Apple, I just want to know where you are going with appleid? It seems like someone is making up the rules as they go along and the implementation is piecemeal and haphazard. Every development group is interpreting it in its own way and is not clued in to the vision - if there is one.
    I just want all my apple devices and software to work together and to not have to give up my identity to you to make this happen. It's totally unfair to have to provide you with all my personal details (and my credit card) on a web site to just make a few devices work together.
    As an appendix to this rant - I tried to ressurect my oringinal attempt at converting my appleid to a pseudo email address - however this ended up in a blind alley because of the need to verify email addresses and gmail's ability to associate multiple email addresses and confabulate certain special characters like "." and "_". The original appleid with some associated email address seems to still be active, however if I try to recover the password by email I never receive it. So Apple (and google) why can't you read the IETF spec for email addresses and implemnted it properly and consistently if you are going to use them for identifiers (a horrible bad idea if youask me).

  • Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

    Why am I getting the message "Project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission.) when trying to
    share to the media browser?   I have done this many times before and never got this message.  This is very frustrating.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi
    Error -49 opWrErr  File already open with write permission
    Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
    Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
    • Create a new User-Account
    • Log out of Your old one and into this
    • Re-try iMovie
    If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
    from Karsten Schlüter
    Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
    This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x

  • Why do I get this error: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1364 (error -1).

    In motion 5, when I go to export - H.264 - I get this error: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1364 (error -1). Why and How do I Fix It???

    What version of FCPX ?

  • When I try to export with Quicktime, the iMovie (9) runs for a few minutes and I then get this message:The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (-2125)

    When I try to export an iMovie (9) to quicktime, the iMovie runs for a few minutes and I then get the message: The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (-2125)  What can I do to correct this?

    Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Export without using the computer for anything else.
    Oh, and if you're using 10.9 switch off App Nap.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1)

    I'm getting this error code in Final Cut Pro.  The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1). What does this mean and how can I fix it?  This code comes up when exporting. 

    Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and I'm running it on OS X 10.9.1.  I have been doing nothing different for the past few months. I have been creating a weekly video and exporting the same way and everything, but it just did this today for the first time. I have never had this error code before.

  • The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 30256 (error -1).

    When trying to export a project from FCPX, I get this error
    The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 30256 (error -1).
    Has anyone any ideas?
    Many Thanks

    Switch your FCP preferences to show frames and see what's happen at that frame number. Try trash any render files. Switch off background rendering. Don't render. Try replacing the clip at the problem area.

  • Operation could not be completed because an error occured when creating frame 56 (error-1)

    Hi
    I'm trying to export a movie in motion but I keep getting the error "Export Failed. The operation could not be completed because an error occured when creating frame xx (error-1)".  I've tried some of the other suggestions such as preventing app nap, changing the codec used and I've uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled motion.  Nothing has worked so far, and it's driving me crazy!
    Can anyone suggest something?  I'd be most grateful.
    Thanks

    Hi GFXZen, thanks for your reply.
    I actually solved by re-exporting the source video, but I'll get to that (to skip, see TL;DR).  In case it helps anybody else I'll answer your questions first.
    The only element present at the majority of the failure points was another video, so there weren't any others to turn off.  Though when I turned off the video and exported, it actually worked (this is what led me to evaluate the source video rather than the motion project).
    Adjusting the export settings did not help me much, I tried h.264, same as source (which  was a .mov), and ProRes 4444: failed.  Tried as a draft: failed.  I didn't want to mess with any of the other render settings because to be honest, I'm not a video editor, so my experience with all of this is severely limited.
    I forgot to mention in the first post that I'd already tried the export on a different machine (one far newer and more powerful): failed.  Dispite googling image sequences, I wasn't really sure how this related to the video, or how to set things up so the audio was preserved, so I skipped that.
    TL;DR
    According to what I googled, it sounded like the video needed to be reindexed/exported/whatever, so I downloaded a program MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html) 1.93b8 (as  the stable doesn't support Lion upward).  It's completely free, and when I ran it, worked first time.  I simply opened the video and exported to quicktime, and changed the compression to Apple TIFF.  That was it. 
    There was one unusual thing though, the file I started with was just over 1GB, but the end result was just over 4GB - but visually I couldn't see any loss in quality at all, and it worked in the motion project - which is really all that matters.
    Hope this helps somebody.
