Any help would be much appreciated.

That's a problem writing to the Time Machine drive.
As BDAqua says, verify your internal HD and repair the external, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, try the things in the green box of #D2 there.

WHAT DOES THIS HOT SYNC ERROR MESSAGE MEAN AND HOW CAN I FIX THE PROBLEM??

"THE HOT SYNC OPERATION WAS INTERRUPTED. SOME OF YOUR DATA WAS NOT BACKED UP."
"(ERROR: EASNotify.dll failed a confirmation query and cancelled the sync operation).
HotSync Error: An application cancelled synchronization or failed to respond to a HotSync notification. Please ensure that you are not currently editing data using applications such as Palm OS Desktop of Install Tool. (8009)"
I have spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what is wrong and why I cannot complete a hot sync with my computer. I have done a hard reset and reinstalled the palm desktop software numerous times with no luck. I bought a book on the palm. No mention in the book about this particular problem.
Can anyone out there help me with this problem??? I would be forever grateful!!

To check which applications are installed on your palm, you can click on the home button on your palm and make sure it says "all" on the top right of your screen. This will show you all the apps installed on your palm. Look through all the applications listed there and see if there is anything extra. You can list them here and I will tell you if there is anything that didnt come with your device when you purchased it.
You will not need the palm cd to reinstall everything again after you do a hard reset because all the info will be backed up on your computer from your sync. You stated that all the information is on your computer after you sync'd so you dont have to worry about losing it. Once you sync again after performing the hard reset, you will be able to get all the info back again on your palm.

HT3275 what do I do about this time machine error message? The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Paul Brandow's Computer.sparsebundle" is already in use.

How to resolve the following time capsule error message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXXX Computer.sparsebundle” is already in use.

If you are running Mountain Lion try this:
Open AirPort Utility (If you are in Mountain Lion this will be 6.0 or Higher)
Select you Time Capsule
Select the Disk Tab
Deselect "Enable File Sharing"
Click OK Let the Time Capsule Re-Boot
Go Back into AirPort Utility and re-select "Enable File Sharing" and let it Re-Boot again.
This should fix the problem.
If you are not running Mountain Lion the advice provided by other should work (http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html). The main thing is to reset users.

What does "File not readable" error message mean?

I am trying to copy/paste art from a supposed "corrupt" file into a brand new document. When I paste, I get this particular error message: File not readable. What, exactly, does this mean?

Amanda,
It is nice to know that it works now. Thank you for letting us know.
Actually, the solution was identical to this part of the list in post #3:
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup;
I ruled that out because in post #2 you wrote
I have tried EVERYTHING ... Dumped the preferences....
Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift is the standard way of deleting = resetting = dumping the basic preferences so I was convinced you had done that already (hence my suggestion to start with 4 and skip 1) - 3)).
Actually, when you
4) Move the folder with Illy closed;
as suggested in post # 3, you move all the preferences to another place so that they are reset to the defaults when you open Illy next time; this procedure is more thorough (and therefore capable of solving more issues) and reversible so you can get the preferences back if it does not help.
I presume you did not try 4).

What does Missing supported Rate Error Message mean?

In my WiSM Trap Logs I get a message:
Client Association Failure: MACAddress:00:15:00:04:a0:34 Base Radio MAC:00:0f:8f:30:8f:70 Slot: 0 Reason:Unspecified ReasonCode: 1
In the Message Logs, for the same timestamp I get the following:
[ERROR] apf_utils.c 193: Missing Supported Rate.
Does this mean the client trying to associate does not support all the WiSM radio mandatory data rates? If so, is there a way of identifying which rate is not being supported?

Client trying to associate does not support all the WiSM radio mandatory data rates.This can be seen under Wireless>> 802.11b/g network you'll see a set of drop downs that allow you to configure your data rates.

What does this Apple pop up message mean?

One thing Apple really needs to do is make their pop up messages that appear when doing certain things more user friendly. Start by making them understandable to someone that didn't invent the dang iPhone, therefore, doesn't know everything about them either! The one I got this morning has me completely stumped! I have no clue what it's saying or more importantly what I need to do?

I'm sorry. I' having trouble getting this posted correctly this morning. It won't let me edit my original post to finish what I was trying to ask. I will try again here. I meant to post this:

What does the corrupted content error message mean when FireFox 7.0.1 tries to open a web page?

Corrupted Content Error. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Ever since FireFox updated to 7.0.1 this error occurs.
Signing out of Hotmail generates that message I mentioned: Corrupted Content Error. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Ever since FireFox updated to 7.0.1 this error occurs. How do I stop it? Now it appears to be doing it across multiple websites. The TRY AGAIN button always comes up when initially trying to load a webpage - very frustrating.

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers or other entries may be wrong.

What does this Application Uploader error specifically mean?

Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, contains disallowed entitlements, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate.
I don't know what it's telling me.
Can someone tell me what it means?

I'll tell you what it means.
It means simply don't move anything once it is created or downloaded.
Leave the development certificate wherever it downloads to.
Leave the p12 wherever it gets created.
Leave the PP wherever it downloads to.
That was all it took for me in the end. I wasted 2 weeks zipping unzipping running codesign on apps and ipas.
It takes me longer to upload an app to Apple than it does to create one and submitted it to Google and Amazon.

What does this Disk Utility warning message mean?

I just ran Disk Utility on Leopard 10.5, which is installed and running on an external firewire drive, as I still like the ability to run classic on my powerbook g4. Permissions were repaired but this message appeared:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
What should I do now, if anything?

Nothing. I think every Leopard user in the world gets this message.
You can safely ignore it.

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing. Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

Time Machine Error Message: "sparsbundle could not be accessed (error-1)

hi,
I am running snow leopard on my iMac and have a mac mini connected via ethernet running Mac Leopard Server version 10.6.
I backed up my iMac onto my Mac Leopard Server using Time Machine about a year ago and then I turned it off and haven't done it since. I turned it on today and was attempting to back it up, but I keep getting the following Time Machine Error Message: "sparsbundle could not be accessed (error-1) when i try backing it up.
Any thoughts on why and how to fix this? I can access my server via screen share, so i know its accessible and I can get online with it as well, so its connected to the Internet.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

not backing up yet, but more progress than before...now its on an infinite loop of "preparing" and "scanning"...just keeps doing that over and over...but never actually backs anything up.
Anything in the log files on either the client or the server?
Usually, when Time Machine is being flaky, the easiest solution is just to delete the backup and start a new one. Since you have a server, you could just move that sparsebundle file elsewhere instead of deleting it. That is, of course, assuming you can still open it. If not, then it doesn't matter because that backup is toast.

Time Machine Error Message. What to do?

Hello,
My G5 has 2 built-in drives, each 160Gb. I have reserved one of these drives exclusively for Time Machine. There is no issue regarding the connection of these drives since they are internal.
I started Time Machine 3 weeks ago, and it has been running successfully. With each backup, the available space has been declining. Tonight the available space reached the megabyte range - insufficient space for the next backup. It is my understanding that when new space is required by TM, old backup(s) are AUTOMATICALLY deleted.
Tonight when a backup starts, the window (System Preferences) shows that the backup is preparing. However, as soon as it starts copying to the TM drive, I receive the following error message:
"TIME MACHINE ERROR
Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
No further information is provided for diagnosing the problem. I have no idea about the cause or what to do.
Can anyone identify the problem and a workout? I would appreciate some help. Thank you. Dale

Hello,
I'm back on this thread after having been absent for several weeks. I hope that the original helpers are still subscribed to this issue. I continue to get the message: "Time Machine Error . . . Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
Below is the system.log file pertaining to backupd. I am not a technician, so I cannot understand the entries. Can someone help, please? Thank you, Dale
