What does OSStatus error -1856 in Quicktime 7

Just set up a brand new mac quad-core and because I am in the business of sound design for film, I have always used Quicktime Pro 7 in order to export QT movies in different formats, i.e., H.264, Apple pro res 422, DVCPRO/NTSC, etc. I downloaded QT 7 and in stalled (v.7.6.6) and ran the QT Pro set up under registration. Now when I try to open any QT movie in QT 7 I get the error messgae in my Post headline. Am I missing something here?

Hi,
I got to messing around in the iTunes folder and now NOTHing is visible in my iTunes Library. I had made a backup of the ~\My Music\iTunes folder before I messed with anything and so deleted the entire iTunes folder. Then I restored it from the backup. There is still NOTHing in my library.
I can import one item at a time but it's impractical to do it that way due to the volume of music. How can I import All of my music into the library? Is there a way to import an entire directory, consisting of sub-directories and their music - into the library?
Thanks very much.
Mike

  • What does "OSStatus error -36" mean in Time Machine?

    I'm getting intermittent errors with Time Machine. It will not back up to my external HD (LaCie d2 quadra). When this happens, the external HD cannot even by ejected (by Finder or Disk Utility). I have to turn it off. When I turn it back on and run Disk Utility Repair Disk it always says that the LaCie appears OK.
    I don't know what's going on, but I'm suspecting it's the HD.
    Any help?
    The log says:

    Thank you. I'd already been to Pondini's TM FAQs and had suspected that the problem was corrupted files or bad media. Only DriveGenius DrivePulse has ever given me any error messages about that LaCie, and it said only that the drive had errors and needed repair ASAP. Disk Utility of course found nothing to repair. A tech at ProSoft suggested corrupted files, saying bad TM files often cannot be detected by normal means and that then the only solution is as you said: backup, reformat, and restore the LaCie.
    Unfortunately, the Backups.backupdb file is about 1.5 TB and I didn't have another drive that big to back up to. Now I do, so following the directions in "Time Machine: How to transfer backups from the current backup drive to a new backup drive" I backed up the backup to a new OWC drive. (The copying took about 20 hours.)
    I certainly can't trust the LaCie until I can ascertain whether the errors were caused by corrupt files or bad media. At this point, I have little idea how to do that. After the holidays, I'll look into it.

  • What does osstatus error -61 mean?

    i have created an album in iphoto and i am trying to export to a external hardrive and keep getting osstatus error -61. help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That error code is: -61 wrPermErr Write permissions error; Not a publisher
    The first thing I would try is to run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. Also delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    If you send the slideshow to iDVD you will be able to burn the iDVD project and play it thru a TV set. If you do go thru iDVD here as some basic tips:
    When ready to burn the project to disk use the File->Save as Disk Image menu option to separate the encoding process from the burn process. Mount the resulting disk image on the desktop by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player to play the project. If the disk image plays satisfactorily with DVD Player the endocding is good and you can proceed with the burn.
    Burn to disc with Disk Utility or Tosat at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    Another method would be to export the movie via the File->Export->Slideshow menu option and select the medium size as that's what iDVD uses. Then drag the resulting QT movie file into an open iDVD project window and continue with iDVD.

  • What does OSStatus error -49 mean?

    I'm trying to export a slideshow in iphoto '09
    "Display" resolution (highest of the choicse)
    I get this error about 75% of the way through
    OSStatus error -49
    Did a google search and someone suggested to change your energy settings to "Sleep - Never".  I did that and still get the error. 
    It takes about 60 minutes of exporting to get to the point where the error happens so it is pretty time consuming to "test"

    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?  Also run Disk Utility to repair permissions, reboot and try again.
    If that fails as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • What does OSStatus error 89 mean?

    My Time Machine has just failed and cannot see the disc anymore - it comes up with this error after searching for 10 minutes.
    I've searched for this code but there is nothing on teh Apple site that describes

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2800116?start=0&tstart=0
    Corrupt disk or files from the looks of it..
    Do a full network reboot.. if that doesn't do anything..
    Full factory reset of the TC.. make sure you plug in by ethernet and turn off wireless. Do not do any of this via wireless.
    No advance then, verify the sparsebundle on the TC. See A5 in Pondini.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    After that if you get no progress.. as suggested in the other thread this may be a failing disk. do a one pass erase and try again.. that will wipe out any backups and files you have on the TC.. does that matter?? If so pull the drive out of the TC and see if you can copy the files to another drive.

    Of course if it is in warranty just get apple to replace it.. the above would void warranty so only if warranty and applecare has expired.

    G4 MDD 1.42 PPC passes all hardware tests but gives post16/4609 error at start up.
    What does it mean?
    What is the resolution?

    I don't get any unhappy beeps.
    I get the chime. If I am not patient restarting I get high speed fan - I shut off be patience restart and get chime and search for drive then circle slash. hardware test gives me the master post 16 / 4609. - suggesting a bad drive according to other apple pundits. However, I have put two new 250GB WD drives in and still get a mass storage error. My G4 Mdd 1.42 supports drives 128GB+. I've replaced IDE cables and have master drive with out a jumper and have tried slave at CS and 3/4 slave setting all with the same result.
    Target boot got me to the "firewire drive" showed me one unformatted 250GB drive and I used disc utility to partition it according the PPC settings. Still same error.
    What gives?

  • What does the error "Unable to lock the following files:" mean?

    What does the error "Unable to lock the following files:" mean? After the colon in this error message, a path to the .icml file is listed. We are using InDesign CS6 with InCopy CS6 (Mac), assignment-based workflow, on a shared server.
    Thanks,
    Gita M

    Sounds like a permissions issue on that server.

  • HT2433 what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?

    what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?

    Some other piece of network ghardware on your home LAN (Local Area Network) is using the IP address your Mac is trying to use.
    Reboot both your modem and router, or the Modem/Router combo box you have, and all pieces of networking equipment, computers and printers, you have connected to your LAN.
    If you continue to get that error then it is a bug in OS X or you have your Mac set to a Static IP address that is being handed out by the routers DHCP server to some other device.

  • What does the error message "Opening file in iCloud(state=5) mean?

    I have been ushing iCloud to backup my data for Ascendo DataVault for my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) and original iPad (iOS 5.1.1) very successfully for some time.  Both devices are synchronized with my PC using Wi-Fi.  The DataVault data on my PC is also synchronized on my wife's iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) and iPad Mini (iOS 7.0.4).  Recently, every attempt to synchronize my iPhone or iPad with my iCloud results in the error message "Opening file in iCloud(state=5)," but my wife's iPhone and iPad continue to synchronize with her iCloud without any problems.  What does this error message mean, and is there a cure for the problem?

    OK found a solution!
    It is really lame!
    NEVER add a reminder in iCal dragging them into the Week or Day view!!!
    Change to Month view and then drag the reminder on the desired day!
    You can now change to Week or Day view and move the reminder to the selected hours.
    Please help share this solution and click like to get Apple to finally fix this issue, which is clearly on their side.
    Thank you

  • What does this error message mean? "Systemflippers"

    SystemFlippers: didn't consume all data for DLOG ID 2002 (pBase = 0x858200, p = 0x85828c, pEnd = 0x85870e)
    I'm using old fashioned resources with DLOG and DITL, etc... but DLOG 2002 exists, so... I'm not sure what's up.
    ETA: After re-saving the resource file n times it didn't help. Re-saving the n+1th time, made the error go away.
    MAGIC!
    I'd still like to know what it was if anyone knows, for the next time it comes up.
    Message was edited by: Brian Postow

    Please point me to anything that google got that gave the answer? My google-fu is weak but not THAT weak.
    Ok, so "systemflippers" is a endianness thing in, where? the compiler? run-time? resource manager? and what does the error mean? Just knowing what systemflippers does (I sort of figured it was something like that) doesn't tell me what the error means.
