[SkyDrive] Files can't be uploaded because there's a problem with a file or folder.

On Windows 8.1 RTM, the SkyDrive metro client shows a message that "Files can't be uploaded because there's a problem with a file or folder." and lists one particular file. When I installed the PC, I have switched then Access all files offline
option to On.
The file resides in a directory I have deleted from the disk. When attempting to get rid of this "problem" (as there are no hints nor UI available) I have manually checked that the directory does not exists on the disk any more, as well as deleting
the directory from cloud storage using a web browser. However, the message is still there.
Restarting the computer several times nor keeping it idle for a significant amount of time did not help.
How to get rid of that "problem" / how to fix it?

Hi
Let’s try to redirect the skydrive folder and sync again to see what’s going on:
1. Open regedit and find following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SkyDrive
2. Change “UserFolder” to another location.
3. Open the SkyDrive Metro app to confirm your files and new directory.
Then check the issue again.

  • Can't install confuse because there is a problem with a pgp signature

    Can anybody give me a hand with this? http://pastebin.com/g2qLLzpb

    I just confirmed I get the same error here, so that rules out the most likely problems of not having package signing properly set up or a corrupted download.
    Refreshing the keys, however, solved it.  `pacman-key --refresh-keys`

  • MacBookPro SSD Error- ALERT: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system.

    MacBook Pro OS x Mavericks. I have Sandisk 256GB SSD and I am getting a below error message.
    ALERT: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this error and fix it ? unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup. Thanks!

    Have you tried to run the verify/repair permissions and verify/repair disk through the recovery disk? If that didn't work then I would reinstall the OS after backing up. If that still doesn't work I would take it in.

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

    I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
    There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
    I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
    Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
    ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
    If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
    Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
    If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
    = Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
    = Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
    = Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
    Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
    If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

  • Can' move the element because there is already one with name "".

    Hello, like 1h ago i tried to move a 4gb folder on my external NTFS drive from one folder to another. The result was this error (or at least sort of, i just translated it from italian) "*Can't move the element because there is already one with name "".*" And after i pressed OK the folder is gone. Like it were wiped. Any way to recover it? This is the second time i get this kind of error. I got it once with an MP3, on the same NTFS drive. after moving it to another folder, the file was gone. Couldn't find it in finder.

    Apart from Paragon it could be the finder copying-bug of version 10.6.2.

    This is happening to me too. I'm looking for anyway to fix this its getting very annoying not being able to update apps.

  • Can someone tell me if there's a problem with my recursive file search?

    I've been trying to get a recursive file search working. I wanted to go through each directory and add every file to a database so I can use extremely fast, advanced file searches through my program. I wrote up this code
    <CODE>
    package myrecursive;
    import java.io.*;
    public class MyRecursive {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    recursiveSearch("D:/");
    private static void recursiveSearch(String x) {
    String tempFile="";
    File dir = new File(x);
    File[] curDir = dir.listFiles();
    for (int a=0;a<curDir.length;a++) {
    if (curDir[a].isDirectory()==false) System.out.println(curDir[a]);
    else {
    tempFile=curDir[a].toString();
    recursiveSearch(tempFile);
    </CODE>
    The code was simple but I didn't think I could write it like this without killing my resources or getting a buffer overload. I ran it and it worked. However, I am running a high end box with 512MB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz processor so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machine. I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true? How would I avoid it? Should I keep it this way? Any recommendations?
    NOTE: I ran the code through JBuilder. JBuilder has a console built into the IDE and will return a noise and the error code whenever it hits an error. Although my app kept shooting out files it found out I heard a noise a few times. Does this mean anything?

    First the formatting tags should be "[ ]" not "< >".
    I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true?Recursion is a valid programming technique and in fact makes many algorithms much easier to code.
    so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machineIt may be a little slower but it will still work. Recursion only causes a problem with resources when you have many levels of recursion. On my system I have:
    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
    In this case there is only 4 levels of recursion. This is not going to cause a problem. You would generally only have problems if your recusion routine is not working correctly and you get in an infinite loop which will lead to resource problems and an abend.
    In your particular case you aren't even using many resources at all since all you are doing is printing the file name.
    This [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=435487&start=3&range=1]post shows a recursive routine that list all files for a directory and displays them in a table. In this cause you might have a problem with resources depending on the number of files in the directory. But the resource problem is because of the memory to hold the filenames in the table, not because a recursive routine was used to get the filename.

  • Recipients cannot open files sent through Adobe Send. There was no problem with Adobe send Now. They see a blank page only! Please help!

    My recipients only get a blank page. I show file sent. This is with Adobe Send. Adobe Send Now had no problem.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having a problem with sending your files through Adobe Send.  Can you provide more details?
    What type of file are you sending?
    When you download the file yourself, is it blank?
    Are all recipients having the same problem?
    Do the recipients get a Preview of the file?
    Are they seeing the blank document as a Preview as well as after downloading?
    Would it be possible for you to send the file to me through Adobe Send?  I will provide you with my email address in a Private Message.
