Unexpected Error code -43 when trying to use Time Machine

I purchased my Macbook Pro in September. At the same time, I purchased a 500gb Seagate Free Agent Go external drive. I finally decided it was time to put it to use and got this message when I attempted to start my Time Machine - Operation Could Not Be Completed - Unexpected Error (code -43).
Any ideas what's up with this? Thanks for any input!

I just came back to say that the purchase date was in 2009. And, I am unable to open the Time Machine program at all! That is the error I get when I open the program. I am thinking about re-installing Time Machine from my disk and see if that helps.
I don't think that's an app you can install that way.
But you can use the Pacifist app, from http://www.charlessoft.com/
If your Install disc isn't 10.5.8, you should then download and install the "combo" update, to apply the updated bits to it. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.
And, as far as my drive goes - The awesome Apple rep at Best Buy formatted it for me when I bought it!
Just to be sure, check that it's correct, per #C1 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

    I have added Time Capsule to my network and after set up receive an error message 6584 when trying to launch Time Machine

    You need to verify the backups.. hold the options key whilst clicking the TM icon in the top menu area. Choose verify..
    Look on the right for more like this.. it is a fairly standard error.

    Clear now. Your created recovery disk will not be supported on your unit. You need original HP recovery kit (708649-DH1) to recover your unit. Please share privately your name/address/phone and RCD kit will be shipped to you.

  • Errors when trying to use time machine backup

    Here is the error I receive when trying to back up my computer with Time Machine.  Is there any way to fix it without completely wiping the Time Capsule and starting over?  My husband would love it if we could find a way since all of his back up information is on it too!

    Here is the error that I am encountering:
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/**Name of Bundle**.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

  • Why am i getting error code 1001 when trying to use MyVerizon or Verizon Tones apps?

    I got the phone new this morning, updated Verizon Tones right away and tried to open it, error code 1001.  It just keeps trying to loop through and brings me back the error code every time.  I have tried to troubleshoot the problem myself, no luck, it is doing it in Safe Mode and whether I update Verizon Tones or not.

        Oh my! Let's take a closer look into the issue with you. Do you have a data connection? When you have the opportunity, please Clear Data / Cache via Settings > Application > Manage Applications > All

  • HT201250 When trying to use Time Machine to backup my computer . . .

    There is only the word "None" with a red circle when I click Select Disk.  Is there another way to denote the backup disk?

    That means either you haven't connected a disk or the disk you have connected is cannot be used for backups.
    That's probably because it is not formatted for Mac OS X, its full or you don't have permissions to access it.
    If the disk is new and/or you know its empty, use Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app to format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.

  • I keep getting this when trying to open Time machine:   An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584).

    I keep getting this when trying to open Time machine:   An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). time machine wont even open up. My Time capsule has a green lite and appears fine
    Thaks,

    This often means the backup is corrupted.
    First of all reboot the network.. turn everything off and restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients.
    If you still have issues, hold the option key when you click the Time Machine icon on the top menu and it will bring up verify backups.
    Do that.

    It seems to be a fairly complex problem if the above don't work.

  • I have an iPod 2nd gen. that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?

    I have an iPod 2nd gen that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Error code = 0x40010015 when trying to open PDF in PS CS3

    This is the error message:
    Error Opening the Portable Document File

    0x40010015
    Searching the Adobe Forums, Knowledge Base, and even Google has turned up no results. Any idea what the problem may be?
    My process has been taking a PDF file created from QuarkXpress (6.5) and opening it in Acrobat Pro (8.1.2) and doing a save as and replacing the current pdf. Then I open this new PDF file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) and apply actions. No problems. Then I encountered this one file that won't open in Photoshop, but will open in Acrobat, Preview, Illustrator. I get the following error message.

    receive error code 2349   when trying to install iTunes.  Any idea what that code means and how to correct?

    It's a better bet with a 2330, but the first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    I have error code -43 when trying to upgrade iPhone 3GS running v4.3 to version 5 or above. This error occurs whilst trying to back up phone during upgrade process. 2GB of free memory on phone. Can anyone help?

    Well I spoke too soon.
    The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
    Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
    +"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
    +"Cannot Get Mail+
    +THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
    Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
    Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.
