Unexpected Error Occurred (error code -600) after Leopard Installation

Installed Leopard for the second time.
Everything seems to work fine, but after opening and then closing Mail, I'm unable to open it via the dock. Tried to open by selecting from the applications menu, and get the following message:
The operation could not be completed.
An unexpected error occurred (error code -600)
Same thing with Backup, Parallels too.
Shutdown behavior is odd. From the apple icon, shutdown doesn't work, everything goes away on the desktop, then the spinning wheel (not beach ball), then nothing. Have to power off to quit, can't be good for the hardware.
Any suggestions, or am I doomed to a clean install and reinstalling all of my applications? Thankfully I have a drive backed up with SuperDuper with 10.4!
Thanks for the help.

OK, I've got ContentBarrier X4 installed and this was the cause of my error codes and it looks like several - if not all of my installation issues with Leopard.
Apparently, perhaps with Login KeyChain update, it wiped out the ContentBarrier administration name, and on launch, it was likely blocking the applications.
First, install the Login KeyChain update (see Apple software download page).
Reinstalled ContentBarrierX4 http://www.intego.com/services/updates.asp (make sure to select ContentBarrierX4).
Open ContentBarrierX4 - you'll have to sign in as the administer. You may have to go into Preferences > Accounts > to make sure that you've got admin rights.
Once you logged in, exit, then reboot.
For the first time since installing Leopard, I can shutdown without a hard power off.
Salvation...

Time Machine gives "error code -43" after leopard install

Hi folks,
This leopard install has been a mess. I have a one year old macbook on which I've done nothing unusual, and I ran the leopard install. Now I try to use leopard and I find that the one feature I bought it for, Time Machine, does not work. I clickon the icon either on the dock or in the application folder and I get "error code -43". I cannot launch Time Machine. Can anyone help? It is very frustrating to have to consider spending extra money for mac tech support when I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, I'm just installing their product on a recent laptop.
In addition, this leopard hogs 11 GB of hard drive space and has slowed my computer by at least 50%. Boy do I regret this upgrade, but I don't see any way to go back.

have the same problem on my imac g4 have not tried it on the macbook pro yet, tried backing up to a La Cie hard drive have another thread going with problems related to this which started when I first initiated time machine wonder if the 2 problems are related

FIX for Canon MP 600 after leopard installation

I discovered a fix for the Canon MP 600 after the leopard installation. After many challenges and troubleshooting with no positive results I tried something that worked!
Go to Applications on the HD, choose Utilities, Choose airport Utility.app. It will open and ask if you would like an update to the Airport Extreme Utility. Choose 'update' and follow instructions. I then went into the System Preferences, removed the MP 600 printer, downloaded the MP 600 driver from the Canon Website and installed it. I then rebooted the computer, went back to System Preferences, added in the MP 600 and all was working well.
I hope this helps someone.

on the 'rinting' topics, someone suggested throwing away all the drivers and downloading from the websiet. And it worked.
thanks to all who thought about it

"AN UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURED (ERROR CODE -600)" HELP...

I was trying to open a FC EXPRESS HD and this message came up:
"THE OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED"
"An Unexpected Error Occured -ERROR CODE -600-.
If someone can help me. I'll appreciate.

It appears that the last time Final Cut Express was used, it didn't completely quit. Open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit it if it shows up; if it doesn't, save your open documents in other applications and quit the loginwindow process. You may now be asked to log in again or be logged in automatically depending on how the computer is set.

Error code -600 and all applications quiting unexpectedly

Hi all I need your help!?! I'm having a problem launching my programs. When I click or double click on a program, it will launch but will then immediately give an error saying "the application _________ quit unexpectedly." This is happening with all of the programs on my computer.
Second problems is with my files. I'm getting an error code -600 when opening up a file. That includes jpg. and doc.
Please Help

Hi,
2.5GB is dangerously low. I'd guess you have a 40GB drive, so you should try to keep at least 8-10GB free, which you can determine easily in the bottom of any Finder window. The maxed disc space could be causing problems to your system like sluggishness, but I doubt it is causing all your apps to quit unexpectedly. That is probably more related to some kind of directory corruption. So, what do you do? Usually when apps start crashing unexpectedly the first step is to delete the preference file for the offending app. The preference file look like this, apple.com.iphoto.plist. All the preference files are in the same pattern, it's only the name of the app that changes. You'll find them at <hard drive/library/preferences< or you can just search the individual app preferences in the search box of the Finder window. Try deleting one or two for offending apps and see if they still crash. Also, because your directory is a bit funky you should run a maintenance app like Onyx. Install it and run Maintenance. It should sort out the directory issues to get your machine running again. Try these and post back with your results.
I also noticed your profile states 10.4.1. You should update to 10.4.11.
Onyx - <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
Make sure you get the right version for your OS.
Good luck!

7.1.1 - Not launching. Error code -600

Help! I recently upgraded itunes to 7.1.1 (as well as Mac OS to 10.4.9) and ever since Itunes has simply refused to open. When I try from the Dock it doesn't respond, but appears as "not responding" in the Force Quit menu. When launched from a finder window I get an "unexpected error" error code -600.
I have tried reinstalling both OS 10.4.9 and itunes 7.1.1.
Any ideas? I am at my wits end!

I took the advice of one of the other people on here and deleted the ~/user/library/cache folder. After a reboot this worked. i would move the folder to the desktop first and then reboot and re-try iTunes. I have not upgraded to 7.1.1 yet as i wanted some stability since I got 7.1 working.

Keep getting "Error code 600" when trying to open itunes.Lost my tunes??:(

I left my computer on for a couple of days and had closed down itunes. when i tried to open it back up the " error code 600" came up and i cant get to my music. can anyone help me!

wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

"Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message. After I upgratded my imac to Mavericks I can't open Illustrater CS5. Help pls.

"Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message.
After I upgrated my imac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks I can't open Illustrator CS5. (No problem with PS)
Every opening attemp crashes. May this be possible because of third party plug-ins. (eg. Esko Artwork)
Help pls.
Thank you.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Installed new HD on Mid-2009 MBP, installed Mavericks, now getting "error code -50" after being on for a while.

So I had the stock 320gb drive that came with my machine. It started crashing, so I pre-empted the loss of data and installed a spare Western Digital 500gb Scorpio Blue drive, installed Mavericks, and restored my data. Almost immediately I began having sporadic issues with the machine being unable to write to the disk, giving me "error code -50" after being on for about a day or so. I usually just restart and it will work for another day or so, but this is getting very tedious, and I'm a bit worried it might be straining the machine, since I can only hard restart (holding power button) when this happens. Usually, right after restarting, I repair the disk permissions, and this seems to fix things.
Is this maybe a bad OS install? Maybe I should back up and try it all again? Or is there a software issue I'm not seeing a solution for anywhere? Most people who are getting the "error code -50" messages seem to be getting them on external drives. Is it just a compatibility issue and I need to seek a new drive?

Thank you for the tips!

Reteep,
you could try the same thing as well.
In my case I doubt it is the problem because it worked fine before Mavericks, although forcing restart may have done something. I hope disabling SMS helped.

CC app manager update failed with error code 50 after reaching about 35%

Trying to update the CC app manager. The update is always very slow (I have ATT DSL, lowest level) and I usually terminate it after an hour or so. Today I let it run and it failed with error code 50 after reaching about 35%. Any ideas?

Update to my original post. I read through some of the suggestions that I found in other threads for fixing this problem, and it appears that this has been an ongoing issue. Numerous fixes have been suggested, some very convoluted, difficult, and involved, including those that came from the customer support folks. I passed on those as this should be something simple. How Adobe manages to let updating of their own software turn into an ongoing problem is beyond me and sort of defeats the purpose of subscribing. I then noticed that a simple fix had been suggested a few times, so I tried that.
The user suggested fix that worked for me was:
1) Restarted computer (Asus Windows 7 i3 machine for me) in Safe Mode with Networking. Logged into my separate Admin account just in case.
2) Started the creative cloud desktop app.
3) The app said it needed to be updated. I hit the update button.
4) Update started and proceeded slowly as it had in many previous failed attempts (I have ATT DSL at the slowest level, but it is not dial-up). Within about 30 min, the update succeeded.
5) Restarted computer in normal mode.
6) The creative cloud desktop app now did not say it needs to be updated, and I can update my other apps normally. Have not updated LR or PS yet, but plan to try. If that fails, I may try doing it in the Safe Mode with Networking.
So, that was relatively painless and much much simpler than many of the other suggestions I saw. Do not know if it will work for everyone, but I wanted to post the fix that worked for me. Thank you very much to the 2 or 3 users who had suggested this fix earlier (sorry, I did not write down your IDs, but the threads can be found by searching for creative cloud desktop update fail error code 50). Hope this saves some people a lot of time.

Final Cut Constantly crashes, Plus error code -600 half the time

Please someone help. I have the newest and fastest Imac available and final cut studio 2, all of the software is up to date. I'm currently running tiger. What is wrong. I've had no problems in the past, and recently the problems keep coming up more and more. I can't even open my project for more than 2 minutes before it will jam up on me. I have to force quit the program, then half the time I'll get error code -600. So I'll have to restart the computer and try again. I have my media files on an external hard drive. I don't know what is wrong. Is it because I have all the files including the project files on the hard drive? Anyone have any suggestions? Should I re-install my final cut program or move all my files from my external hard drive to the one and only internal one. (defeats the purpose of only being able to use one hard drive though.)

I'm using standard DV files. I've seached and searched for answers to this problem, and no one has answered anyone yet, other than try to update your software. I forgot to mention that also this system will not restart, and has to be forced off by holding down the power button, and also it loses an entire day of work! Twice it has done this to me. I have backups set to every 10 minutes, I also saved the project on 2 seperate files, and on seperate hard drives. Both projects reverted back to an entire day missing, back up files and all. I never lost this much data and work with premiere. The only reason I switched is because my TV Station uses final cut pro, and everyone hates it. I'm starting to find out why..... Is there a number I can call, the forums don't seem to have any answers, neither does google.

I can't activate iTunes-Error Code 600

When I try to activate iTunes, the message on my screen mentions Error Code 600. I'm sure the problem was caused because I tried to import too many songs (200+) for a 1GB iPod Nano. While iTunes was converting the last song to the AAC format, it suddenly stopped. It's my fault, but I had assumed tht I would be warned when I got into dangerous territory. Anyway, how do I fix it until I buy a Nano with a much larger capacity. I will, because I'm having so much fun with the thing. I even go around wearing a headphone into which I plug the Nano, even though I'm 68 years old. Doesn't seem quite right for someone my age, but who cares? I like my music.

I guess this question wasn't interesting enough for anyone to bother answering. In any event, the problem cured itself, so close this case.

Intermittent behavior and Error Code: -600

I would first like to state, I have not any issues in the last 5 years. I went from Jaguar to Tiger, without a hitch. Of course, this is very old G4/450 [Will be getting a Mac Pro fairly soon]. For the most part, everything has been near perfect. However, recently I installed ProAppRuntime.pkg v.4.0. Now, I have intermittent problems with applications that suddenly stop functioning correctly. This is usually preceded by getting the spinning beach. Today, iTunes just stopped working, ultimately forcing me to have to Force Quit the application. Then, once one app does it, if bad enough, other apps start to collapse as well. Now, even though it may seem like I Force Quit, the Dock still shows the App as still functioning. It won't force quit at all. Then if I try to relaunch the App, directly, The error I get is Error Code: -600. There is very little read about it for me to make any sense of it. I ran Virex [yes, up to date], which as usual, there is nothing to fret about there. Though, it has been a while since I de-fragged my drives. But, I can't imagine that would be the cause of the problem... or would it?
Update: I can repeat this intermittent problem using iTunes v. 7.1.1.
G4/450 with 768MB of RAM, Two Seagate 80GB HD's, with SCSI card with two SCSI drives. Running Mac OSX Tiger v.10.4.9.

On my System/Apps HD 80GB [Master] = 57GB of Free Space.
On my Second HD [Slave] = 27GB of Free Space
On My 3rd HD 17GB Internal SCSI = 811MB of Free Space
[this is where all my music is stashed]
On my 4th HD, 4GB Internal SCSI = 1.2GB of Free Space
OS9 HD/OS9 Apps.
Yes, all RAM is listed. I did some investigation, checked that as well. Then I ran a couple of utilities, iDefrag to see if the drive are in need of defragging, it looked like I should consider defragging. However, I ran Onyx, just clean out my caches before I CCClone to alternative drive and it told me "This Volume needs to be Repaired". So, I think I've got my answer.
If anything, thank you in advance for any advice you leave, I am going to start of OSX CD and see what's up.

What is error code -600

I am working on Premiere cs6, using red raw. I edited for a while on my Mac Pro, wanted to give it a shot on my imac becaus eit could work with my thunderbolt, but the file cannot be opened because it says, Cannot open premisere cs6, error code -600.

There are a couple of similar posts on the Adobe web site, perhaps you need to contact Adobe support.

What does (error code -600) mean?

What does (error code -600) mean?
I received this code in a pop up window while trying to open iTunes from my Apps folder.

procNotFound
= -600, /*no eligible process with specified descriptor*/
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Any change?
