The operation could not be completed. (osstatus error 2.)

I have 3 bufallo network storage devised.  One of which I want to use for time machine back ups.  Unfortunately when I select the drive to use as the back up I get the error 'Time Machine can't access the back up disk "time machine".  The operation couldnt be completed.  (OSStatus error 2.)"
I use the administrator name and password but still get the error. 
Any ideas?

it is rare on these forums to not get a response quickly. If no one can help with the direct question, what alternatives do I have for help?
I'm guessing I could always call apple for help, but anyone know how much that would cost?
Thanks

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos b/c they may be an unrecognized file or the file may not contain valid data. The operation could not be completed. Error code is: ImageCaptureCoreError-9905.

    Unable to download photos from my camera. iPhoto returns an error message that states: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file or the files may not contain valid data). FILE NAME: 100_0490.JPG      REASON: com.apple.ImageCaptureCoreError- 9905.  WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?  Did not have a problem importing photos under the LEOPARD OS, however, now that I have upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPHOTO app is not performing the imports.

    Are you using Photos, or iPhoto? Maybe you've got a corrupt file on your camera. I would try using the image capture application to import the bad picture to my desktop. If it works and the picture looks ok,  then delete that pic from the camera, then try to import into iphoto again. You can then import the pic it was saying was bad from your desktop.
    Or, try downloading all the pics using image capture and then import from the download folder.

  • Error while consolidating. The operation could not be completed.

    Error while consolidating. The operation could not be completed. Cocoa error 13. (null)
    Got this when I was trying to consolidate some referenced photoshop files. If failed to create a new version as well when I tried to open the files in Photoshop. I rebuilt the the library and it displays and exports both masters and version just fine, but it won't let me consolidate the master to the library.
    What gives?

    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 :-)

  • IMovie error message "The operation could not be completed"

    I am trying to create a new movie and got this error message " The operation could not be completed" after selecting the Themes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    My problem was because I had moved my Movies folder from the system drive (which is an SSD) over to another drive with a larger capacity. I then created an Alias in my home folder.  Turns out this is what was causing the problem. I shoulda known. Some apps absolutely hate this. iMovie, being the dumbed down garbage that it is, simply MUST have it's library in a certain folder, apparently. Would be nice if we had a choice about it.
    I find Premiere Elements is actually the better (and friendlier) program. However in this case, I had to slum it with iMovie due to the Quicktime file I was working with.

  • 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.

    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)

    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.

  • The operation could not be completed (Error code -43)

    Trying to run Time Machine for first time. Get "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)." Have rebooted etc... suggestions?

    What is the partition map scheme (Apple partition map, or GUID?) and what is the format (HFS+/Mac OS Extended or other?) of the drive? For PowerPC Macs the Time Machine drive requires "Apple Partition Map", and for intel-based macs it requires "GUID". Both architectures require "HFS+" (otherwise known as "Mac OS Extended") for the format of the drives.

  • "The operation could not be completed" Error

    Every time i try to open the pixel bender filter I get an error that says "The operation could not be completed" Any Ideas?  Windows 7 i5 processor and 8 gb of ram. I tried re installing, and several images from small to max size.
    Thanks

    Perhaps your issue has been resolved by now.  I read all the responses as I was also having the Error:
    The operation could not be completed." message and this is how I resolved it.  I have Win XP with
    3Gb Ram,and the same graphics card you referenced, by Nvidia.  I looked as the document size and it was at 370 dpi so I dropped it down to 72 and saved it.  Then I had no problem opening Pixel Bender and using the various filters in it.

  • When restoring an iPhoto library I got an "unexpected error" message and the operation could not be completed. Is my best choice to try again?

    One of my external hard drives died. I had several iPhoto libraries in it. Fortunately, I used Time Machine to backup to a Time Capsule and I can see all the iPhoto library icons in Backups.
    When restoring the first iPhoto library, after three hours, I got an "unexpected error" message and the operation could not be completed. Indeed, the restored library is smaller than the library in Backups. Is my best choice to try again and replace the restored library (which apparently must be missing some photos)? It would mean another 3 hours plus of restoration with fingers crossed...
    Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

    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.

    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.

    Use ethernet only. Turn off wireless so it does not enter the situation.
