Try the advice in this thread.
If that doesn't help, try a Web search for "OSStatus error 6602" (without the quotes).  Do NOT put a hyphen before 6602.  What would cause anything with 6602 in it to be excluded.

  • Getting OSS Status Error 28 when trying to setup backup drive to time capsule on wife's new macbook air, what is error 28?

    Time Capsule--OSS Status Error 28 when attempting to set backup drive to time capsule data drive

    It just means it is not available.. I think.. apple doesn't exactly give you a guide to errors.
    What OS is on the MBA.. Yosemite??
    That would be absolute bog standard problem.
    Same as here.. Time Capsule OSStatus error 28
    Even with older OS apple introduced some poor networking decisions at lion which have carried through.
    1. Try a simple reboot of the TC.. then try a reboot of the whole network.
    No luck.
    2. Reset the TC to factory and redo the setup from MBA.
    Use short names no spaces and pure alphanumeric names and passwords.. nothing more than 20 characters.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only and password that conforms to the above.
    No luck
    3. Make sure the wireless is set to IPV6=Link-local only in the MBA.
    Tell us if those all fail.

  • OSStatus error -6602, when trying to connect to time capsule

    OSStatus error -6602, when trying to connect to time capsule for back up.
    I am prompted for my
    How do I decode the error messages?

    The information from a Google search indicates the error is generated when connecting to a PC share. So this may be some kind of error generated by the NAS' operating system. In any event I cannot find such an error number associated with OS X so if it is an OS X error number then it's not publicly documented. I would still think Synology's tech support should be able to help you since it is their device. If they sent you here then they're passing the buck.

    Hello,
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
    http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I can't imagine anything TMwise not covered.
    But is this a NAS vor Network drive?

    I think illegal characters in the Drive's name can do it also.

  • Time Capsule (OSStatus error -6602.) Cannot choose backup disk

    I have no idea what to do next. The wireless connection on my 500 GB Time Capsule works fine. However, a few days ago, I noticed that it was no longer backing up. I tried the usual things (resetting Time Capsule, unplugging Time Capsule, changing my disk name) and even did a full erase. Every single time I try to turn on my Time Machine and select the backup disk, it gives me this error when I enter my password:
    Operation could not be completed
    (OSStatus error -6602.)
    I know I am entering the correct password. I tried to run disk utility but even though I can see my Time Capsule, I cannot verify it. Any thoughts?

    I've had this problem since August. Every once in a while I do searches and try different things, but so far nothing has worked. Would love to find the answer to this. I can no longer backup anything even though I've reset the capsule and even wiped out my data and tried to start from scratch.
    I finally sprung the $9.99/month for drop box just to have backups. It's ridiculous.
    This is about the 5th time I've had issues with the time capsule and had to wipe out my backups.

  • Remote backup to Free Agent Drive: OSStatus error -6602 ??

    Reposted with minor edits from the Leopard section...
    We are trying to back up our desktop Macs to a Seagate Free Agent disk locally attached to a Mac Pro running Mac OS X Server v.10.5.5. The desktop nodes are all iMacs running 10.5.6. When we try to set up Time Machine to use the remote disk, we get an error "Operation could not be completed. OSStatus error -6602"
    We get the same error on 3 different nodes whether the disk is shared or NFS mounted. It is not that the Free Agent drive is in power saving shutdown as we have seen this error whilst Time Machine running locally on the Mac Pro was backing up to it. That backup, BTW, was successful.
    At this point I wonder if this is some incompatibility with the Seagate firmware. Has anyone else encountered this problem? A quick Google search on the error code turns up scant information -- perhaps something to do with permissions, the details of which I'm not too familiar on Macs.

    I may have found a solution... if I connect to the server from the remote machine I see the backup volume with a -1 appended to its name. If I first open that volume from the Finder and then try to set up TM, I can select the Backups-1 volume, authenticate as myself, and TM will back up to that volume. I'm not sure yet whether the connection has to be kept open somehow for unattended backups to work.

  • Error OSStatus error -6602 on Time Machine

    Hello, i've been trying to setup my TM but im getting the error 'OSStatus error -6602'
    I have mounted my external drive (FAT32) and everytime that i select it from the Time Machine list of drives it prompts me for a username/password. I enter the same user/password that was used when mounting the drive (that is the same used on the smb admin) and i get the above error. Any ideas what this means? thank you in advanced.

    Thank you very much for your quick reply. It is a network drive, and i just switched to mac so apologies if my terminology is not very accurate. I read on some forums that it was possible to use FAT32 on TM. And in order to see that drive it was necessary to set this line on the terminal.
    defaults write com.apple.systemspreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
    which i did. More strangely it worked for 2 weeks, i was able to backup and see my backups for 2 weeks and then it just failed to backup and now im getting the error mentioned above.
    What i refer to 'mount' is connect to server smb://drive which then prompts me for a password and then it appears on the finder. That is the same user/passwd that im using when selecting the drive on the TM.
    So am i doing something wrong in here? and if i can only use HFS+ why it worked for some time? again thank you very much for your help.

  • Time Capsule / Leopard 10.5.8 / Time Machine / Disk can't be opened because the original item can't be found / OSStatus error -6602

    Hi,
    I'm facing a big issue with Time Machine on my Mac Book running Leopard 10.5.8 (build 9L31a) and my Time Capsule (firmware 7.6.1 (76100.4)).
    I have searched a lot (during 3 days !!) to find a solution but no luck !
    I have the same syntoms as described by LUNY in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9364556#9364556
    To quickly summarize:
    My MacBook was configured to use my Time Capsule as backup disk. Everything went fine during 2 years and then one day I suddently got problems with time machine !
    Time Machine was unable to access my Time Capsule. Moreover it was drastically slowing down my MacBook !
    So:
    1. I stopped Time Machine and tried to change the backup disk: every time I chose my Time Capsule Disk, I got a OSStatus error -6602
    2. Then, I tried to access my Time Capsule from the Finder -> slow and then got this message 'Disk can't be opened because the original item can't be found'
    3. I searched in the logs for the specific reason and I found:
       - system.log (/var/log) :
          myMacBook kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
          myMacBook /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[198]: NetworkNode::handleMountCallBack returned -6602 (the same error)
          myMacBook ReportCrash[358]: Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/kextload_2012-12-30-112946_myMacBook.crash using uid: 0 gid: 0, euid: 0 egid: 0
       - In CrashReporter (/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/): i see the problem coming from kextload with this exception:
           Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
           Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000a, 0x000000000122d000
    4. I tried to mount the time capsule disk with Terminal (AFP protocol):
       > mount -t afp afp://admin:[email protected]/Data /Volumes/termAFPData/
       result -> mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error 19, errno is 19
    These errors (6602 and 19) are neither documented anywhere nor associated to a clear description of the problem. The only thing I have found is that errno 19 is an IO error -> http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/CarbonHeaders/CarbonHeaders-18.1/MacError s.h
    On the other hand, and this is the really weird part of the issue, my time capsule disk works well when I mount it with SMB protocol !!! (Or when I access it with a Windows XP machine).
    So, the workaround is: mount -t smbfs //admin:[email protected]/Data /Volumes/termSMBData/
    Or, in Finder -> Connect to server and there use the URL: smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Data
    Not sure what is going on ... but I pretty sure that's a bug and not a hardware problem.
    Is there someone who has already found a solution for this kind of behaviour ?
    It would avoid me a lot of headaches and improve the support for this kind of problem.
    Thanks !!!

    Thanks a lot for this really quick reply.
    When you say: "I would though go back to 7.5.2 firmware." Do you mean a reset to factory default ?
    Greetz
    NO, your time capsule is running 7.6.1 but it is built with AFP following increased security for LION.. that is not required or available in Leopard.. so there is no point.. it is also not as stable on the older hardware.. at least in my experience.. I have repaired about 200 of the suckers so I do see a few.
    When you select firmware update in the airport utility.. hold the option key.. all valid firmware versions for your TC then show up.. not only upgrades.. select 7.5.2 and upgrade to that.
    Do a factory reset when you do it is a good idea though.. start off again.
    And do reset of TM.. A4 in pondini.
    See if it helps.
    Oh, the TC will continually complain about needing a firmware update.. turn off automatic checking of updates.. it will still annoy you for fun every few weeks but that is better than daily.

    Hey

    What does that mean?
    Thanks!

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    That's some sort of network configuration problem.
    What are you trying to back up to?
    Is it a supported destination for Time Machine backups? See #2 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for particulars.

  • Receiving error (OSStatus error -6602.)  setting up time machine on NAS

    I have a Macbook Air and a 1TB WD My Worldbook and have been unable to setup time machine for backups, I keep receiving the following error - Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -6602.) It is connected to my airport extreme - dual band any thoughts on what I need to do to get this to work. I had to uninstall itunes 10 and downgrade to 9.2.1 so I can see my shared folder and what saved me was that I manually copied my itunes library to the network drive.
    I am new to Macs and know tech basics so please be gentle.
    Thanks for any insight.

    I had the same problem. WD does indeed support Time Machine set up on the WD World.
    The acrobat file walking you through the 15 second set up [hurrah] can be found here: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=mbworld [click on the user guide link to download].
    My problem was that I was trying to login using my user name rather than the wd_backup that is required via Time Machine.... did not read the set up instructions very carefully.

  • I have Lightroom 5 installed on my MacBook Air but when I try to open the program I receive the message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  I uninstalled, emptied trash and re-installed but I continue to get the same message.

    I have Lightroom 5 installed on my iMac which I downloaded (uploaded?) to my MacBook Air (via wi-fi) but unlike the iMac, I'm unable to use the program on the MacBook Air.  When I open the program on the iMac and click 'file', (as people using the program would know) there are 21 options - import pics, export, etc, etc - however, in the version on the MacBook Air, opening 'file' gives me four options - New Catalogue, Open Catalogue, Page Setup and Printer - and with that comes the pop-up message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  Any ideas please?

    A forum thread from 3 years ago talking about LR 1.x which had this problem seems to need permissions fixed or new folders created with the corrected permissions.  You might try doing a repair permissions for your user and/or run LR as an administrator user.  I am a PC person so cannot tell you exactly how to do that.

  • 1.3 Update Error "An error occurred when attempting to change modules"

    Good evening,
    Recently updated to 1.3, and now, when starting, Lightroom won't open up a catalog. When I go t manually do this (File-Open), I get this error:
    An error occurred when attempting to change modules
    Sometimes, I can get the program to display, but it is blank (no photos) and when I select a different module, I get the same error code.
    I have tried:
    - Deleting preferences
    - Opening a backup file
    Neither one works.
    Any ideas? We can do nothing at this point with Lightroom.
    Many thanks,
    Brett

    Try removing user presets.
