OSStatus error -9459

For some reason my sideshow in iPhoto 09 crashes with this error code, The operation could'nt be completed. (OSStatus error - 9459.) OK
I have the same slide show which I have exported to Mobile format but it chokes on 1280 x 960 Display setting.
Any thoughts.
10 GB RAM , MacPro 8,1, 200+ GB available HD space, 10.6.8

Okay, looks like it is the energy saver. Funny when I searched for the error code I got nada. Posted my question and got More Like This that helped.

    By photo CD do you mean you're trying to burn image files to a CD disk from iPhoto? How are you going about this?

  • Error when exporting slideshow (OSStatus error -9459)

    I put together a slideshow in iphoto without problem. The problem starts when I want to export the slideshow - in order to make it available in iTunes. The export process seemingly randomly stops with the error message (OSStatus error -9459).
    The slideshow is rather large (500 pictures and some videos), I was not able to recreate the error when trying on a small selection, incl. movie clips.
    Is the pure number of the pictures or the resulting file the reason for this? Anything else?
    How can I solve this? Did anybody else have that problem?
    Btw I am running Lion (but the error also happened with SnowLeopard).
    Thanks for any advice.

  • OSStatus error -9459 what does this mean?

    OSStatus error -9459 what does this mean? Can't make my slideshow export to desktop in order to burn DVD. Did it last night. Won't work this morning. Am stuck at the point where the slideshow exports to desktop as a m4v . I did this last night and then changed it to a mpg and burned it to a DVD without any problem. Now I keep getting the above error message. What gives?

  • OSStatus error -9459  message received when I tried to export slideshow

    OSStatus error -9459 message received when I tried to export an iphoto slideshow to imovie or iDVD. how do I work around it or correct the problem

    Yes, it let me create a project.  The error came when I tried to save...not save as...also came when I went to build the DVD.  It always saves before it begins to build and the same error message came up again.  It is a very simple DVD...no menus....just a plug and play.  It is a thearter performance that was shot and then edited in Pro and opening titles and credits added.  The thought is that the DVD would be put into the player and the timeline begins to play from the opening titles to the end credits...nothing fancy......

  • OSStatus Error - 9459 while exporting slideshow from Aperture 3.0.1

    While attempting to export a slideshow I get the message "Unable to Export Slideshow. The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus Error - 9459.)" This occurs when exporting to Apple TV or p720. Help please.

    I received this error, when exporting the slideshow.
    The slideshow took some time to export and the display on the Mac was set to sleep within the hour.
    The display went to sleep and soon afterwards, I received the error.
    If you have your display set to go to sleep then this could be one reason why you are receiving this error.
    If not then I'm stumped for another answer.

  • OS Status error -9459 when exporting slideshow

    I've put together a 17 minutes slideshow in iPhoto using the scrapbook theme. I've received this error twice now - once when using the default "display" size export to mp4 and a different time when using a more customized export to .mov using no compression.
    After the first error, I rebooted and the export worked. I am trying a reboot again to see if I can export again with the new settings.
    Anyone know why I'm getting this error and what it means?
    "The operation couldn't be completed.
    (OSStatus error -9459.)"

    You may have a damaged library. Try the following: backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

    This topic has considerable discussion on that particular error message and possible fixes: Error 9459 Potential Fix
    Also Apearl reported in this topic, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11195681#11195681, setting the Energy Saver to never sleep would avoid that error message when exporting the slideshow. Not a fix, but a workaround.
    Also if you search the iPhoto forum for 9459 you'll find many more topics covering the problem and some potential fixes.
