"The Connection Could Not Be Completed Because it Timed Out"

Hello,
Quick ?...I keep getting this error when trying to open up iChat v.2.1 (v153).
I'm on a work computer which is a G4. It was working fine the other day,
and then all of a sudden I'm unable to connect?
My wife tried my user name and password from another location and got
the same problem? I created another AIM account, and get the same results.
Any info would be great.
Thank you,
JKHerman

Hi JC,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
IF you can see me on-line you can try me.
I and a few others are in this list
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html
I would start with this FAQ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=122021 and use one of the Utilities to run the Cron scripts.
You are also posting in iChat 2.x Discussions and you have iChat 3 (And Tiger)
After doing the Cron scripts, install the Commbo Install of 10.4.6
This will make you system as good as we can get it without starting again.

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

I have a pop up window that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61). What does that mean?

I am using a portable USB storage drive connected to my laptop. I am trying to delete a file from the USB drive but it is not working. A pop up window appears that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61)". What does that mean and how do I fix it? Thank you.

All I can tell you is that is a write permissions error. How is this drive formatted? Check the file's permissions. You can try:
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo rm -rf
Leave a space after "-rf" and drag the file into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

Hi Friends... I'm trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message "The operation could not be completed because the item "bands" is in use. I'd like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

Hi Friends...
I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
The answer that you gave was....
This is the only one
Now you are saying that....
But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
Can you clarify, please?

The share operation "master file" has failed. the operation could not be completed because an error occurred creating Frame 93164 (error-1). how can i find the frame?

The operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists

I am trying to make a click and drag backup on an external FAT 32 drive to compliment my Time Machine backup (long story) and I've done this each time by dragging my critical folders into the drive. I get a message asking me to stop, replace or skip, and whether to apply to all items. i click replace, apply all, and let it go.
however, one stubborn folder refuses to comply. every single time I click and drag a group of folder that includes that one, I get a message saying "the operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists" even after I selected the the "apply all" prompt. at which point, the Mac stops transferring ALL the other files.
I figured, OK, i'll just transfer the other folders individually and then deal with this folder later. so I do that, and once I get to the offending folder, I try to transfer just that one folder into the drive. no good; I get the operation message again. I decide to just transfer the contents of the folder, rather than the folder itself. No good, I just get the operation message about one of the folders within the main folder.
anyone know the cause, or at least a fix?

If you've installed a system modification called "TotalFinder," remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Log out, log back in, and try again.
Otherwise, open the Info dialog on both the source and the destination volumes. What is the Format of each? For example, it might be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
For some other possible solutions, see:

The operation could not be completed because there is not enough space on the destination disk

I have 124Gig of space left on my HD, when I try to export my movie i get this error "The operation could not be completed because there is not enough space on the destination disk" I have read some of the threads went in and deleted the iMovie Preference file but no luck.. any Ideas? Thanks!

You need the System DVDs that originally came w/the computer in order to troubleshoot. All Macs prior to & including ML came w/System DVDs.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 6105 (error -1).

I am trying to share a project and after the 3% of sharing the project it appears this message.
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 6105 (error -1).
What can I do?? I need some help please!!

You need to set the FCP X Preferences to count in frames, locate that frame, delete the clip around it and replace with a fresh one.

The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 19788 (error -1).

When attempting to build a quicktime movie from my video project on final cut pro I got this message "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 19788 (error -1)".

Kathy ...
Better to post your topic in the Final Cut Pro community here.

The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 570 (error -1)

Hi everybody,just started with FCPX and the following occured:
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 570 (error -1)
Result is that i can not share to my hard disk.
If anybody could help me out here....?

CHange General preferences to show frames. Check what's happenING at the frame number. Maybe replace the shot.

The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1)

I'm getting this error code in Final Cut Pro. The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 2829 (error -1). What does this mean and how can I fix it? This code comes up when exporting.

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and I'm running it on OS X 10.9.1. I have been doing nothing different for the past few months. I have been creating a weekly video and exporting the same way and everything, but it just did this today for the first time. I have never had this error code before.

The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 30256 (error -1).

When trying to export a project from FCPX, I get this error
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 30256 (error -1).
Has anyone any ideas?
Many Thanks

Switch your FCP preferences to show frames and see what's happen at that frame number. Try trash any render files. Switch off background rendering. Don't render. Try replacing the clip at the problem area.

When I went to back up my MacBook to an external hard drive, an error message said the backup could not be completed because an error occurred when creating the backup folder.

I used a backup hard drive for my previous PC, but I have not done a backup on my MacBook yet, which I got this summer. When I hooked it up to my computer, it started the backup fine, and then my computer went to sleep, and so I closed it to let it back up overnight. The next morning I saw that it had been interrupted, and that an error occurred; the backup could not be completed because there was an error in creating the backup folder. I'm not sure what to do now because my data has been erased off of my hard drive now to prepare for the backup on my MacBook, but will I be able to use this hard drive again? Will the error message always come up? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I am always suspicious of using a different OS to the one that was used to run the backup.. ie if you used Snow L to backup then there is absolutely nothing wrong with using SL to restore.
Mount the TC sparsebundle and verify it using disk utility.
A5 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You might also like to load the widget in Time Machine so you get whatever the full error message is..
I cannot find any reference to the error code you are getting..
My recommendation would be to try it on a different computer.. restore the whole backup to an external drive large enough to accept the whole backup.
Use the manual methods pondini recommends.

any ideas on what to do here?

Get a new external case. Or avoid those WD MyBook and other 'name brand.'
Tried a reformat/erase of the external?
Is it GUID and HFS+ or as it was shipped which may have been formatted for Windows (MBR) and FAT.
After erasing and insuring it is initialized, maybe Disk Warrior or scan for bad blocks. Or a bad cable even. LaCie drives have a host of problems that seem to affect theirs specifically, power adapters and more.
