OSStatus error -108 in QuickTime while trying to record my desktop.

I am getting 'OS Status error -108' in QuickTime (v10) while I am trying to record my desktop. I get this error as soon as I hit the record button.
Anybody know what this could be? How to fix?

OK just zapped the PRam, no Cigar.
Personally, I did not think it would help. (As previously noted, I tend to agree with those who consider this more of a "contiguous" memory problem.)
see the 10.6.8 was installed freshly about 3 weeks ago. this MM functions as a server doing faxes, answering machine, print server and a few emails a day (iMovie is not even installed neither is Flip4Mac). so it is not like in heavy use. so I fail to see how their can be fragmentation.
Did you "wipe" the drive prior to your install? If not, there is the possibility of carryover fragmentation. I just checked my startup drive and found 709,236 of 1,991,704 items out of optimum order (36%) since my last routine maintainence optimization, drive mechanics test, and general "dusting & cleaning" exercise. Here is the graph:
Of course, I may process an average of 100 GBs to 200 GBs of data during a typical day of copying, converting, and storing video content. (Yesterday was a non-typical day since I had to "panic" backup 597 GBs of DVD images from one RAID drive to another because one array appeared to require reformatting following its latest firmware and dashboard updates. This was in the middle of copying a season of TV shows to my internal drive, converting them for TV use, adding them to my iTunes library, inserting metadata, and proofing the results. In any case, it appears my DroboPro will survive after all since I discovered this morning that the dashboard installer app as released by manufacturer support was probably faulty. (I.e., the embedded PKG file embedded within the installer application was opening Pacifist for installation rather than the Mac OS Installer.app as it should have done. In any case, I extracted the installer package from the app file, corrected the problem, and ran the PKG file manually to save the need of backing up another 7 TBs of data over the next week.)
In any case, to get back to your problem... It may be a good idea to simply see if you can find a program that will graph, disply, or otherwise reveal your current state of fragmentation. If the disk is not fragmented, then you can continue your search for an alternative solution. If it is highly fragmented, then you can try the defragmentation option and see it it works. In either case, it may help others if you post your results here for further review.
Best of luck...

(OSStatus error -108.) | Quicktime Screen Recording

The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)
I receive this error message when attempting to use the "screen recording" function of Quicktime X. Cannot find any information on this specific error besides the fact that it is due to insufficient memory, although I don't believe I actually have a memory issue. The "movie recording" and "audio recording" functions still work. Tried another screen recording program named Voila, and while I can begin to record, after I stop recording I end up with a corrupted file. Strange thing is, I tried a third screen recording program, Debut, a free program, and can successfully record my screen (although the video is choppy/essentially unusable). I have been having trouble with my MacBook since I installed a CUDA driver (now deleted), and so I believe this could be the actual root of the problem. Do I need to install a different graphics driver? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

QuickTime: The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)

I want to record my desktop process with QuickTime (v10) and get the following message:
The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)
Anybody know what this could be? How to fix?
I do get a file that appears to be the recording but it does not want to open. And I do need to force quit QT almost every time teh error appears.
I am on OS10.6.8.

Anybody got any suggestion?
Is there maybe anywhere where I can download the application again and reinstall?

IPhoto won't export my slideshow? I get the message (OSStatus error - 108)

I try to export my slideshow created from a photobook on 80 pages in iPhoto. I think I have tried everything and different formats. I get the message (OSStatus error - 108) no matter what I try. It's a photobook made for my sons 18 years birthday and my plan was to show it to the party this friday.
So it's a little confusing!
What to do?
Regards Helle

Some folks have fixed exporting issues by reinstalling the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Error Code 43 while trying to update CC desktop app

Hi there,
I'm getting Error 43 while trying to update CC desktop app. OS is Mavericks 10.9.4. It gets as far as 63% than the following error:
Installer was unable to access a critical file/directory. Please try installing again.(Error code: 43)
Guessing this is a permissions problem, but not sure where to look/start.
Edit to add: I'm on the Free Trial at the moment, if that makes any difference. All applications are working fine, otherwise.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mike

Mike you could try installing under a newly created administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties. You can find more details at Install or run Adobe applications in new user account | Mac OS X.
You can also find additional details by reviewing the error message within your installation log files. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

QT 10 and OSStatus-Error -108

Hello readers
I did try to use the Screen Recording function but as soon as I hit the menu entry I get the error "OSStatus-Error -108". If I hit "OK" and then do the same command again, I won't see the error again but if I quit QT it will freeze.
Does anyone have a idea what's wrong?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
Thoams Thaler

I did test the machine with an second user, but I still have the same error message.
Alos a installation of the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Combo didn't solve the problem.
I just don't like to setup this machine again from scratch as I did install some software which takes an additional 1hour of installation and setup.

Getting error "Error connecting to MDEX" while trying to open micro browser

Hi,
I am using endeca Tools and framework 3.1.0 and MDEX 6.3.0.
While trying to open micro browser from Workbench UI to create page template configurations,I am getting following message in popout:
Error connecting to MDEX. The data service associated with this editor is not correctly configured.
Please guide the if you have any clue.
Thanks,
Mayank Batra

I have successfully configured RecordSpotlight editor to use a different endeca instance. What I did is modify apps\[your app name]\config\editors_config\services\dataservice.json file with updated endeca search configuration, save the file, and run apps\[your app name]\control\set_editros_config.bat to apply the change.
To verify, you can run apps\[your app name]\control\export_site.bat command to export your site configuration, the updated data service config should show in the site xml file exported.
Hope it helps,
Michelle

Sender RFC adapter Error- request was null while trying to extract it.

Hi All,
I have a scenario running in Production(PI 7.0 system) where SAP ECC sends RFC request through sender RFC adapter. The scenario was working fine but now I am getting the below error in default trace and I couldn't see any error in communication channel monitoring.
java.lang.Exception: RfcServer[BAS_ECC_RFC_Snd]1[AFSenderD] request was <null> while trying to extract it.
I have gone through the below thread and performed a full cache refresh but it didn't help :
[NULL]
I have gone through SAP note:730870 and I couldn't get any help on this error. Can you please suggest your ideas to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Laawanya

Hi Lawanya,
Check you RFC and input data , whether the RFC call is able to get the data from ECC or not.
you can test the same RFC in ECC with input data and you can check whether the RFC in ECC is return the value or not.
I gues in your case the RFC in ECC is not return any data to PI.

Getting linker error in Visual studio while trying to use class ActiveSelectionObserver

Error on Control Center while trying to run jobs

Hi,
I got a problem while trying to run the scheduled jobs or process flows.
We tried restarting the control center service manually. It is started without throwing any errors at the backend. But when I open the control center service and try to start or stop a job, its throwing the below error.
The error is as below.

It is very urgent. Thanks a ton in advance

Hi Oliver,
Thanks again!!
There are a lot of queues in DBA_Queues.
But how can we know which queues should be enabled and which queues should be disabled? As I observed, All the Exception queues are disabled and the reamining queues are enabled.
About the parameter aq_tm_processes, we have not changed the value of it. Previously, all the jobs used to execute perfectly with the same setting. So, I dont think the value is a problem.
Recently, we had the below problem in database, because of which all the jobs got stalled/hanged. The system DBA had resolved this problem by extending the SYSTEM tablespace. After that all the database is fine except the OWB jobs. Is there any impact on the on the owb jobs because of the below error?
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01653: unable to extend table SYS.AUD$ by 8192 in tablespace SYSTEM
ORA-02002: error while writing to audit trail
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01653: unable to extend table SYS.AUD$ by 8192 in tablespace SYSTEM
Thanks in advance,
