The operation could not be completed. the file is not a movie file (-2048)

I have updated all my add-ons.

I get it when capturing from my mini DV cam (which is not controllable by FCP). To resolve, I have to click Capture Now a split second after I start the DV tape rolling.

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?

PS CS5 The operation could not be completed. A file system I/O error has occurred

Howdy...
I'm using Photoshop CS5 and when I go to use a handful of filters such as Liquify or Lens Correction I am suddenly getting an error message saying:
"The operation could not be completed. A file system I/O error has occurred"
Doesn't matter if it's a massive file or a small one. Sometimes the Liquify box will actually come up, but after I make one or two strokes, the beachball comes up and moments later I get the error message again. It doesn't actually crash PS, it just prevents me from using those filters. Each time I click, the error message comes up again. I've also tried it with my PS CS3 on the same Mac and it does the same thing. However on my 4 year old MacBook Pro, it's absolutely fine. Grrrrr!
I have my PS set as default on 64 bit. I have a scratch disk with nearly 500gb free (which is not my start-up disk) I am running a Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8 Core Intel with 16gb of ram, so it's not a memory problem. Running Mac OS 10.6.7 but did the same on 10.6.6 too.
I have repaired the disk permissions on the start-up disk. I have reloaded a fresh copy of PS (a few times). Even did a hard Un-install with maccs3clean after trying a regular Un-install with no success.
I had an 1.5hr conversation with an Adobe Tech guy earlier today and he's scratching his head, so I'd thought I'd throw it open to you guys hoping someone has had the same problem and can save the rest of my hair from being pulled out.
HELP!

Hi Guys,
I know this is an old post but I need to bump it.
I work for a image processing company and we all sit on top spec mac pro's with 16-32 GB of RAM, top graphic cards and SSD drives.
All of my collegaues' computers are working fine when it comes to using liquify and all of the filters that come with CS5, but it sure doesn't work on my mac at all.
We have a tech guy who has re-installed the OSX on a new SSD drive now two times and we have started from scratch with installing CS5 but it still will not work. I keep getting "the operation could not be completed..." every time i try
to liquify or do any other filter work.
I am 100% sure it doesn't have to do with any disk permissions or broken drives in my case.
Could there be an issue with the graphic card or any other hardware component since it's clearly not a software related issue?
Any help would be much appreciated because we are very much in the dark here.
Best regards,
Anders

I'm trying to clean my mailbox and when I click on delete or highlight and move to trash I get a message that says "operation could not be completed - file exists. Further, when I select a message or group of messages, one of them is copied (not deleted) to the trash folder. Can someone help me through this?
Thanks.

It's a POP account. I decided to clean up my mailbox today after noticing the computer was real slow after USA Today started sending their daily top stories with new graphics. Also before I noticed the problem with mail deletion - two things happened. 1) I updated security sofware as prompted by Apple and 2) downloaded Mackeeper and went throught some preliminary scans but did not buy their package. Thanks forn nstaying with me.

Double post…

Set name of file - 'the operation could not be completed'

I have a script (see below) that is supposed to rename a list of files that have been recently saved as self contained by Quicktime Player in a script just run prior to this script .
What happens is that if the script is run immediately after the Quicktime Player script it generates a dialog with the message 'The operation could not be completed'. It was puzzling since the script would occasionally work as I tested it on its own in script editor.
After much trial and error messages I discovered that if
1. I run the Quicktime Player script saving the movies; Then
2. manually open the folder containing the movies in the finder, then
3. run the script to rename the movies,
the script would run correctly. If I don't open the folder the script fails with the 'the operation could not be completed' dialog.
Any ideas as to why this happens? Any workarounds suggested?
Thanks

Hello
Finder has been affected by its long standing bug or design flaw in updating its internal cache, which seems relevant to your case.
Here's two sample codes I'd try.
Hope this may help,

PS. Why are you renaming files after saving them in different names? Saving them in the final names in QT Player would be the simplest way. Just my thought.

File Save for Web = Error: The operation could not be completed.

Installed photoshop CS6 trial Version 13.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate running in hyper-v virtual machine. Created a small image and clicked File Save for Web. This produced the error dialog "Error: The operation could not be completed."
I tried the following trouble shooting steps:
1. deleted the preferences
2. created a new user
3. re-installed both the operating system and photoshop
4. looked for permission issues
5. monitored procmon.exe to look for unusual errors
I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but it simply does not work.

ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.
Was working fine up until we had "Tech" come in the office and "up grade some stuff"
then all of a sudden i started getting this message, something happened but i don't have a clue what.

Bug: Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation

Hello, I have a 35GB text file that I'm copying from one folder to another folder via c#
(I simply open a StreamReader and a StreamWriter and copy line by line (something like sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadLine());)
If [the destination folder is a "windows compress folder" (right click folder > properties > Advanced > Compress content to save disk space)] then it fails else it works well.
Any idea how to solve the issue?
I have windows 8.1 with all latest updates. The ssd is a samsung 850 pro, and I tried on 2 machines, same results.
So to recap, it seems the issue is with the writing of big files on a compress folder, the reading is fine.
thanks.

Hi w,
Per my understanding. This is not a C# code issue. I doubt the issue related your OS.
After search the error info,
here is a possible solution, please take a look
“The requested operation
could not be completed due to a file system limitation.”
<copied>
Please use Disk Defragmenter to defrag the NTFS volume on your side, which should fix this issue.
Please refer to:
A heavily fragmented file in an NTFS volume may not grow beyond a certain size

For the limitation of NTFS, please check the following online guide.

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 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)".

'The operation could not be completed. Access is denied' during delete.

Hello World,
Something happened while working in my Visual Studio 2010 Professional environment.
When I delete a member from my Solution Explorer, it disappears from the memberlist, is marked as 'locked, deleted' and can be removed from TFS using Check-In. But during the delete process I get the message 'The operation could not be completed. Access
is denied.'
I'm an Administrator on my computer (manually adding/deleting members in my workspace and/or directly in TFS is not a problem). I get this message for every delete I perform, even in other Solutions!
The member will remain in my workspace however.
Can anyone help me with this problem please?
Thanks,
Guy Swagen

Hi GuySwagten,
Based on your description, the files you're trying to delete are locked by other team members of your team project in server workspace. You can have a check with your team members or check the hisotries of the files to see the lock information.
Please refer to this
page to get more information about TFS lock types. And you can ask the team member to unlock the files if you want to delete them or do other operations.

Uploaded on google drive a series of project files. downloaded them and now the message above is what pops up effectively blocking me from my work. After talking with google support, they confirmed the successful upload and download with no file corruption. All file extensions are the same. Can someone please help.
Sincerely,

Try the following..
Compress the audio files before uploading them to Google.. using Apple's built in file compressor... (Right/Control click on an audio file and choose compress from the popup menu...
Download from Google and then decompress audio files..
Now test in Logic and see if you get the same issue....
