IPhoto won't export my slideshow? I get the message (OSStatus error - 108)

I try to export my slideshow created from a photobook on 80 pages in iPhoto. I think I have tried everything and different formats. I get the message (OSStatus error - 108) no matter what I try. It's a photobook made for my sons 18 years birthday and my plan was to show it to the party this friday.
So it's a little confusing!
What to do?
Regards Helle

Some folks have fixed exporting issues by reinstalling the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

QuickTime: The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)

I want to record my desktop process with QuickTime (v10) and get the following message:
The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)
Anybody know what this could be? How to fix?
I do get a file that appears to be the recording but it does not want to open. And I do need to force quit QT almost every time teh error appears.
I am on OS10.6.8.

Anybody got any suggestion?
Is there maybe anywhere where I can download the application again and reinstall?

(OSStatus error -108.) | Quicktime Screen Recording

The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)
I receive this error message when attempting to use the "screen recording" function of Quicktime X. Cannot find any information on this specific error besides the fact that it is due to insufficient memory, although I don't believe I actually have a memory issue. The "movie recording" and "audio recording" functions still work. Tried another screen recording program named Voila, and while I can begin to record, after I stop recording I end up with a corrupted file. Strange thing is, I tried a third screen recording program, Debut, a free program, and can successfully record my screen (although the video is choppy/essentially unusable). I have been having trouble with my MacBook since I installed a CUDA driver (now deleted), and so I believe this could be the actual root of the problem. Do I need to install a different graphics driver? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

QT 10 and OSStatus-Error -108

Hello readers
I did try to use the Screen Recording function but as soon as I hit the menu entry I get the error "OSStatus-Error -108". If I hit "OK" and then do the same command again, I won't see the error again but if I quit QT it will freeze.
Does anyone have a idea what's wrong?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
Thoams Thaler

I did test the machine with an second user, but I still have the same error message.
Alos a installation of the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Combo didn't solve the problem.
I just don't like to setup this machine again from scratch as I did install some software which takes an additional 1hour of installation and setup.

What is an osstatus error 54 in iPhoto?

What is an osstatus error 54 in iPhoto?

and the other part of my question?
and where is your iPhoto Library stored?
The error message is a permissions error. Either iPhoto cannot open the file or cannot find it. I am seeing this error message when copying iPhoto libraries or any packages usually, when one of the drives in question is formatted incorrectly (the file system is not MacOS Extended (Journaled)), or when the package contains unreadable files. Or one of the file names may contain invisible, illegal characters. Make sure, the "Ignore Ownership" flag is set on any external drives in question, to avoid permission problems and make sure the file system is correct on all drives.
And (OSStatus error -54.) is usually a first warning, when a drive starts to fail. So make sure, you do not delete any backups, you may need them.
If your file system is correctly formatted as MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the Database rebuild correctly, but the videos still do not play, it might be a problem of a missing Cache file, typically caused by apps that clean caches, etc, to clean your Mac. On MacOS X 10.8.5 has been a problem with videos in some cases, when cleaning applications cleaned a certain cache, and a helper file was missing, that may be necessary to play videos. That problem still persists with Yosemite.
To make videos play again it helped to rebuild the cache using a Terminal command:
Try this fix posted by andyBall_UK:
Open a Terminal window (the Terminal.app is in Applications > Utilities)
Copy and paste the line below into the Terminal window, hit return and enter your administrator password.
sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
If you do not want to use a Terminal command you can achieve the same thing by booting into recovery and reinstalling the system on top of your current system - don't wipe the drive before you do it. Reinstalling on top of the current system should suffice: OS X: About OS X Recovery

What is an OSStatus error -49

We are using Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac and it works fine until we try to record more than a couple of minutes of tape. Several times we have let the whole tape run and it records it but when we stop the recording and finish we get the message:
"OSStatus error -49 Try to change the destination folder in the preference window"
Can anyone tell me what this means?
We have changed the destination folder several times before recording starts and it makes no difference.
Thanks

Can anyone tell me what this means?
Error -49 is a Carbon error. It means, "file already open with write permission". A file cannot be allowed to be opened with write permission by more than one process. I've no clue why it occurs. As ds store says, you need to contact Roxio.

OSStatus error -108 in QuickTime while trying to record my desktop.

I am getting 'OS Status error -108' in QuickTime (v10) while I am trying to record my desktop. I get this error as soon as I hit the record button.
Anybody know what this could be? How to fix?

OK just zapped the PRam, no Cigar.
Personally, I did not think it would help. (As previously noted, I tend to agree with those who consider this more of a "contiguous" memory problem.)
see the 10.6.8 was installed freshly about 3 weeks ago. this MM functions as a server doing faxes, answering machine, print server and a few emails a day (iMovie is not even installed neither is Flip4Mac). so it is not like in heavy use. so I fail to see how their can be fragmentation.
Did you "wipe" the drive prior to your install? If not, there is the possibility of carryover fragmentation. I just checked my startup drive and found 709,236 of 1,991,704 items out of optimum order (36%) since my last routine maintainence optimization, drive mechanics test, and general "dusting & cleaning" exercise. Here is the graph:
Of course, I may process an average of 100 GBs to 200 GBs of data during a typical day of copying, converting, and storing video content. (Yesterday was a non-typical day since I had to "panic" backup 597 GBs of DVD images from one RAID drive to another because one array appeared to require reformatting following its latest firmware and dashboard updates. This was in the middle of copying a season of TV shows to my internal drive, converting them for TV use, adding them to my iTunes library, inserting metadata, and proofing the results. In any case, it appears my DroboPro will survive after all since I discovered this morning that the dashboard installer app as released by manufacturer support was probably faulty. (I.e., the embedded PKG file embedded within the installer application was opening Pacifist for installation rather than the Mac OS Installer.app as it should have done. In any case, I extracted the installer package from the app file, corrected the problem, and ran the PKG file manually to save the need of backing up another 7 TBs of data over the next week.)
In any case, to get back to your problem... It may be a good idea to simply see if you can find a program that will graph, disply, or otherwise reveal your current state of fragmentation. If the disk is not fragmented, then you can continue your search for an alternative solution. If it is highly fragmented, then you can try the defragmentation option and see it it works. In either case, it may help others if you post your results here for further review.
Best of luck...

What does the iMovie error 108

What does the iMovie error 108

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device) But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

Are your event clips in h.264? If so, you can solve this by Right clicking on your Event Name and choose "Optimize Media". You can choose Full for 1080P or Large for 960P according to your preference.
After you have optimized your Event, you should be able to Share with no problem.

-108 mean you are running out of (free) RAM.
Try restarting the computer just prior to sharing. That frees up RAM.

What is an OSStatus error -61 error?

I am getting an OSStatus error -61 message when i try to burn a slide show from IPhoto 11 to a DVD?

According to this
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1618
it's a Write Permissions Error.
How are you trying to burn a Slideshow from iPhoto? Usually I would expect that you would export to the Finder and try and burn from there or send it to iDVD and burn via that.

Osstatus error -108 when exporting slideshow ... what does this mean?

I googles this and can't find anyone who has had it. How can you find out without being an operating systems developer!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens to the slideshow other than giving you this error. Don't know what it means. However, several users have reported iPhoto crashing when trying to export a slideshow. You might search this forum for that to see if you're experiencing something similar. As far as I know there was no fix found.
Be sure to report it to Apple via via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

What is a OSStatus error -2009 in iMovie 11 when I try to export

I am trying to recompile an imovie I made a few years ago (5 years) and imported it into the new iMovie (from Movie HD). But I cannot export the movie, it instaed pops up with the error above.

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

In iphoto i get this error for a video that I wanted to play - The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -54.) what is that error and how to fix it?

The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)
My Apple course instructor felt it would be smart to create all in iphoto dragging in all videos and photos to one spot.
I now get these errors and they wont play.
What is the error telling me and how do I fix it and get the video to play please??
Is it true iphoto will be replaced in this New Year and if so does anyo

No it didn't at all.
I went to the finder and saw several of the same .
When I called Apple they told me not to delete anything using the Finder… odd I thought, as that was the only way I could see the multiple videos and photos.
Do you think there is any harm in deleting from there directly if I have a good playable copy?
Thank you both for responses.
The clips/videos some are from iPhone 4.
I opened it manually and found 4 copies of most of the same videos, same names, some with slight variations. Don't know why.
Some are titled from iphoto /Masters don't know why that happened
Now I also have some clips with white dotted line on grey where the clip used to be? why would that occur??
In my finder there are now 97000 images. Yet I only have 22,000 in iphoto. Where are the rest located and why so many duplicates?
Have I checked a box somewhere and need to address that?
Thank you for any insight and guidance.

What is OSstatus error -9549 and how to solve it?

When I was using my iPhoto '09 (Version 8.1.2 (424)) to export a slideshow, I got the following error:
The operation couldn't be completed.
OSstatus error -9549
I've never seen this error before previously when performing similar operation. What does it mean and any solution?
Thanks!

I have the same 9549 error condition trying to export a Display resolutions slideshow. I can reliably repeat this error. My slideshow export hasw125 still images ~4mb each and two songs ~ 6 minutes. the error is thrown near the end of the export.
Running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)
OS X 10.8.5
Macbook Pro 2.2.Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
Would appreciate a solution or workaround. FYI I'm using iPhoto to produce this slidshow because iMovie creates objectionally jumpy transitions when using Ken Burns effects. Pretty frustrating using these Apple products to try to make a slideshow with music. If anyone has a 3rd party software app that can do the job please share that too. I'm spending too much time troubleshooting faulty Apple apps.
Thanks.
