Re: The operation couldnʻt be completed. Permission denied

Aloha- We recently installed a shared storage server for two Final Cut Pro X systems. Working from our Mac Pro copying FCP X events to new server, 2 problems occur. 1. Server connections interrupted error then FCP X crashes. 2. Re-start Final Cut Pro, then try to open library on server and error message appears, The operation couldnʻt be completed. Permission denied
Is this a setting problem on the Mac Pro? Is this a software issue in Final Cut Pro X? Please, help and suggestions welcome. Thank you.
OS X V. 10.9.5
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Final Cut Pro X v. 10.1.4
Maxx Digital shared storage system

Hi Tom, A tech setup the connections remotely between the 2 Macs and the storage server. I think that he did set the read/write permissions for the server. However, (Iʻm an idiot) this is beyond my knowledge. Can you guide me as to where to look? Thank you!

Error while consolidating (The operation couldn't be completed. Permission denied)

I have just bought a new MacBook and that has given me extra harddrive space, and now I am trying to consolidate some masters in Aperture, that I have on my Time Capsule. But I get this error:
Error while consolidating (The operation couldn’t be completed. Permission denied)
I can access my Time Capsule in Finder perfectly well. Can anyone help?

I think that error was due to the fact that I hadn't upgraded MAC OSX after installing it. I have done that now and now I get another error saying the masters are offline.
I found this old thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965601?start=0&tstart=0 which seems to be the same problem. This is a whole other topic so I will start a new thread, but leave this in case anyone gets the same problem as me. Upgrade your OSX. That's the solution :-)

Receiving error: "The operation couldn't be completed. Permission denied."

When I startup Final Cut Pro X under 10.7.2 on a Mac Pro I'm receiving the error "The operation couldn't be completed. Permission denied." Then after I press "OK," FCPX finishes loading. I've searched the Community but haven't found an answer to why this is happening or how to fix this. Does anyone know?
I also have Final Cut Studio loaded on this machine.
Thanks very much.

I've seen this, and I'm sure it was something simple.
Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.

Mac OS X 10.6.8, receiving error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted." How to fix?

When I try to update my software, I'm receiving the error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."
I'm using Safari 4.0.3. Yes, I know this is an old version of Safari - I can't update it, or any other software on my MacBook. Should I just wait for the Lion OS, or is there any kind of fix a non-technical Mac user like me can attempt without screwing up her laptop?
I've tried clearing my cache and resetting Safari already - doesn't help. I've also tried to update after disabling my (Norton) antivirus software, thinking that might be interfering. None of these help.
I don't know if it's a related problem, but also I can't download .pdf files from the internet, although I used to be able to.

You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software.

The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)

I have been having trouble with transferring iPhoto to my new iMac from my Mac Pro.
I copied the iPhoto Library over the new drive. When i opened iPhoto it was blank. The file was 650GB but no photos in iPhoto.
On my original machine I opened iPhoto and it said it needed to be updated. After that it opened with no photos showing.
After several tries I used the Time Machine back up and I transferred that. The photos showed up but the video clips will not play.
Any ideas on how to get the video clips working. The error I receive when I try to plan the video clips is,
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)"
This is for both my new iMac and my old Mac Pro.
Thanks

Just a few remarks, in addition to Larry's excellent advice:
Any ideas on how to get the video clips working. The error I receive when I try to plan the video clips is,
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)"
The error message is a permissions error. Either iPhoto cannot open the file or cannot find it. I am seeing this error message when copying iPhoto libraries or any packages usually, when one of the drives in question is formatted incorrectly (the file system is not MacOS Extended (Journaled)), or when the package contains unreadable files. Or one of the file names may contain invisible, illegal characters. Make sure, the "Ignore Ownership" flag is set on both drives in question, to avoid permission problems and make sure the file system is correct on all drives.
And (OSStatus error -54.) is usually a first warning, when a drive starts to fail. So make sure, you do not delete any backups, you may need them.
After several tries I used the Time Machine back up and I transferred that. The photos showed up but the video clips will not play.
If your file system is correctly formatted as MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the Database rebuild correctly, but the videos still do not play, it might be a problem of a missing Cache file, typically caused by apps that clean caches, etc, to clean your Mac. On MacOS X 10.8.5 has been a problem with videos in some cases, when cleaning applications cleaned a certain cache, and a helper file was missing, that may be necessary to play videos. That problem still persists with Yosemite.
With MacOSX Mavericks and Mt. Lion it helped to rebuild the cache using a Terminal command:
Try this fix posted by andyBall_UK:
Open a Terminal window (the Terminal.app is in Applications > Utilities)
Copy and paste the line below into the Terminal window, hit return and enter your administrator password.
sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
If you do not want to use a Terminal command you can achieve the same thing by booting into recovery and reinstalling the system on top of your current system - don't wipe the drive again. OS X: About OS X Recovery

I can no longer access Safari on my ipad. I get the error:the operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. Help please!

I am not able to access Safari on my ipad. I get the error message: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. Can anyone help please??

Try this first.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad - or quit all apps and restart.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.

Error message: The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -43.)

I've been using TeleChart 2000 for a couple of weeks with no problem. Then over the weekend it disappeared from my dock and wouldn't stay in the dock even though I selected "keep in dock." At least I could still open it by going to the "downloads" folder. Now today, when I tried to open it after using it earlier in the day, I got this message: The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -43.)
Anyone know how to fix this?

I took a quick look at http://www.welovemacs.com/whdoalltherc.html which list many error codes, Error 43 appears to be a file not found error.

Contacts won't sync with my new MacBook (The operation couldn't be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.))

Hello everyone.
I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, running OS X Mavericks) as my first Mac, so maybe it is really easy but I cannot figure it out myself.
I am really satisfied with the product, the only thing that is bugging me is that the built-in Contacts App won't sync my existing iCloud contacts.
It's working fine on my iPhone and iPad but it does not seem to be working with the MacBook. At first I thought maybe it could use a reboot. That didn't work. Next I deleted the iCloud account from the Mac, rebooted again, entered my account data and opened contacts again. Still nothing even after waiting 10 minutes.
Then I found this nice option "Show Last Import". And behind the "iCloud" group I noticed a little exclamation mark. After I clicked on it I was presented the following error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.)"
I don't really know what to do with this error since google and other search engines did not deliver a resolution to this problem which worked...
Is my iCloud broken or something? Everything is working fine so far with my other devices (iPad, iphone, icloud-website, even my Windows PC at work can sync the contacts :-/)
I hope you can provide me a solution because I am out of ideas myself

So for me I found a solution after hours of searching. Surprisingly it is in another thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19223886#19223886
Problem solved with a lot of help from Apple Support. After upgrading to ML, I still had all my contacts in iCloud and on the iPhone, but not on the iMac and the MacBook.
1) We have set up a temporary second iCloud account for me.
2) On my iPhone, I signed out of iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
3) On the two Macs I signed out of iCloud and had everything deleted.
4) I signed the iPhone up with the new iCloud account and synced all contacts into that one.
5) With Safari I opened the online interface of my original iCloud account and manually deleted all contacts.
6) On my iPhone, I signed out of the temporary iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
7) On my iPhone, I signed into my original iCloud account and waited for the contacts to sync.
8) On the two Macs I signed into my original iCloud account and everything was okay again.
So have my contacts back, but we do not really know what was wrong.
As the original author said, I had no idea what exaclty was wrong but somehow it's working.
I'm not using any Google contacts so unfortunately I can't help you with that.

Unable to sign in with AppleID - "The operation couldn't be completed (CSIdentityErrorDomain error - 11.)"

Unable to sign in with AppleID - "The operation couldn't be completed (CSIdentityErrorDomain error - 11.)"
Within the System Preferences, Users and Groups - when we attempt to sign into the notebook using any AppleID - we receive the following error message:
Unable to sign in with AppleID - "The operation couldn't be completed (CSIdentityErrorDomain error - 11.)"
We have a Macbook Pro, MAC OS X Lion 10.7
This occurs whilst using any AppleID - we have tried two separate accounts.
I have created a new user profile, with administrator access, same fault occurs.
We can log in to iTunes on the notebook, the AppleID account registers and works OK.
No related articles with common Google search results.
I'm hoping to avoid a re install of the operating system if possible.
Many thanks,
Tim

Has anyone else possibly heard of this particular error? I'm really hoping to seek some support suggestions for this as it is occurring to one of our top line managers. Much appreciated.

Hi again OGELTHORPE.
I've already run two hardware tests. One quick one and one extended one. It was unable to pick anything up.
It's like everything is running perfectly, but when I go to erase the HDD or partition it, it pops up with the error message. Even when I try to erase and partition using "Terminal", I received the same error message.
It's beginning to do my head in, but will see if replacing the SATA cable will make any difference. If it doesn't, I'll hazard a guess it could be the Logic Board.
Thanks again for your suggestions!

In iphoto i get this error for a video that I wanted to play - The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -54.) what is that error and how to fix it?

The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)
My Apple course instructor felt it would be smart to create all in iphoto dragging in all videos and photos to one spot.
I now get these errors and they wont play.
What is the error telling me and how do I fix it and get the video to play please??
Is it true iphoto will be replaced in this New Year and if so does anyo

No it didn't at all.
I went to the finder and saw several of the same .
When I called Apple they told me not to delete anything using the Finder… odd I thought, as that was the only way I could see the multiple videos and photos.
Do you think there is any harm in deleting from there directly if I have a good playable copy?
Thank you both for responses.
The clips/videos some are from iPhone 4.
I opened it manually and found 4 copies of most of the same videos, same names, some with slight variations. Don't know why.
Some are titled from iphoto /Masters don't know why that happened
Now I also have some clips with white dotted line on grey where the clip used to be? why would that occur??
In my finder there are now 97000 images. Yet I only have 22,000 in iphoto. Where are the rest located and why so many duplicates?
Have I checked a box somewhere and need to address that?
Thank you for any insight and guidance.

I am also getting error message "The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory" when attempting to create a new "event". Any ideas?

Well it did NOT work. Here is a screen capture as FCPX loads showing the drive while it loads. Then when it is loaded, NO drive showing up in the Event Library ( I have turned off the external drive).

are you certain that you’ve completely downloaded the .pkg file — that the download didn’t end prematurely?
