Unable to sign in- Disk I/O error on Mac (Maverick...

Hi - I am trying to start Skype on my Mac (OS Mavericks) but I keep getting the "disk I/O error" message, even after I uninstalled and reinstalled Skype. 
I have managed to open the ~/Library/Application Support folder, but I can't find the "SKFullText" to delete it as recommended on another thread in this forum. What else can I do to fix this?
Thanks

Hi
I have had another go at this, deleting the Skype folder from ~Library/Application Support and reinstalling Skype, and this time it has worked! Thanks for your advice on this site.

  • Compaq CQ60-615DX Notebook. Unable to sign into my profile. Error msg.

    I don't know if I picked the right topic.  I have this laptop that has 3 profiles. 1 for me, mom and system administrator, 2 sessions for my kids.  My profile is password protected and I have the laptop set up so that my children cannot make changes to certain things.  
    I recently turned on my laptop, entered my password, and was told it was incorrect.  Well it wasn't but I was unable to even change it.  I received the following error message:  "The user profile service failed the log on.  User profile cannot be loaded."
    Can this be fixed?  I have my thesis on my session and pics, etc.   Please help!
    Thank you.

    Usually restoring the machine settings to a date before the problem will resolve this. There are several ways to get into Safe Mode to run it, but probably the easiest (not knowing which OS you are running) is to boot into HP Recovery Manager by tapping away at the F11 key immediately after powering on the laptop. This will boot into Recovery Manager. Once there choose Microsoft System Restore - NOT System Recovery. When MS System Restore window opens choose to reset the laptop back to a date before the problem started.

    Hi All,
    I also encountered the same error on my Apple Mac Book Pro running OSX Version 10.9.2 (Mavericks). First I encountered the "Error 13" where the Creative Folder was unable to complete the Installation and came up with a message "Error Starting Creative Cloud" Cookies Dir Cannot Make Folder /Cookies Permission Denied (Error 13). First I followed the below procedure :-
    Completely Uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud from the Applications.
    Click on the Finder and Go to Folder ~/Library/Application Support
    Right Click on the Folder and Click on Get Info (cmd+i) and refer to the "Sharing & Permission"
    Unlock using your Password the Sharing and Permission Control.
    Add the Username that you have logged in and make sure it has "Read and Write Access" Refer to "Sriharshaa Prabhakar"
    Click on the "Small Settings Icon" and Select "Apply to enclosed items"
    Click on Lock
    Install the Adobe Creative Cloud.
    I also encountered an error while logging into the Creative Cloud after successful installation. I chose the below method to resolve the issue"-
    Quit the Adobe Creative Cloud from the Task Bar above.
    Click on the Finder and Go To Folder ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Right Click on the Folder OOBE and Click Get Info.
    Rename the Folder to OOBE.old
    Launch the Adobe Creative Cloud
    Loginto to the Adobe Creative Cloud and chose the Application that you want to Install.

After I  delete the Db temp folder and my user folder, I can log into skype, but it crashes 5-10 minutes later.  If I restart my computer, I'm able to log in and use Skype for a long time.  The error usually comes within a day.  I've also tried reinstalling Skype, but the same still happens. I can post my computer specs if you need them.

  • Unknown Error (-69) Unable to write to disk

    Hi
    Has anyone received this error message when downloading to their IPOD Video.
    I have both purchased music and my own music downloaded into my library, all the downloads appear to be complete and I can play them from the library. When I try to update the IPOD I get the error message "Unable to write to disk "ipod" unknown error (-69). On checking the IPOD it seems that I have some of the music ( i.e. half of a CD or purchased album)but not all of the tunes from an album.
    I have tried to reinstall and restore the ipod and used both ITUNES and IPOd updaters. I would really appreciate some help

  • I am currently unable to sign into Facetime.

    As the title says, I am currently unable to sign into Facetime from my MacBook Pro, Mac OS x 10.6.8. This has been the case for three weeks. I have not "upgraded" to Mavericks and I have not changed any settings. I have rebooted the computer several times and checked the time zone settings (having the computer in a different time zone than the settings is apparently an issue). Everything appears to be in order. I am able to sign in to the Apple Store and this forum and my iPod 4G connects just fine with the same Apple ID and password. Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media.  Any ideas on how to fix this.  It only happens in fcp.

    When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media.  Any ideas on how to fix this.  It only happens in fcp.

    By internal, I assume you're referring to your systems (boot) drive. Is it, by chance, a partitioned dive?
    Also…although many people successfully use their systems drives as scratch disks, over time you'll have better results using a dedicated drive for your media.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to set scratch disk error

    I know this has probably come up before but I can't find the topic when I search. The error message says this...."Unable to set scratch disk. The selected directory is on write-protected or non-writable media."
    In addition to that, whenever I try to render by pressing either option+r or apple+r I get an error message saying...."File Error: Access Denied."
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried...
    Trashing preferences?
    Run Disk Utility?
    Instead of control-clicking on the drive, try control-clicking on the Capture Scratch folder and the project Subfolder and changing permissions.

  • Hi im new apple user ..Bought a mac 3 weeks before my mac does not show serial number on screen .Also I am unable to sign in imessage n facetime it gives network error like .! What can be this issue n how to solve it??

    hi im new apple  ,ac book pro user ..Bought a mac 3 weeks before my mac does not show serial number on screen .Also I am unable to sign in imessage n facetime it gives network error like though i can access web site n etc  .! What can be this issue n how to solve it??

    Hi,
    If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
    However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

    we are unable to sign in to iMessages, wifi connection is fine but we get the error message, pls check your network connection.  Does anyone know how to fix this

    there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and  make sure its working.
