What is "error 4480" while doing a data DVD backup

I am running Windows Vista (blergh) and I get an "error 4480" burn failure every time I try to do a data DVD backup of my iTunes library.
What is that error and how do I fix it? My CD/DVD drivers are all up to date.
Other OS Windows Vista
Windows XP

What brand of discs are you using, and at what burn speed? Also, which drive is in your computer?

What does this mean: "the backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk?

Our time capsule isn't working...we keep getting the message: "The back up was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."

This means you are probably not running snow leopard as your profile shows.
What OS are you running?? Mavericks.. is the most likely as it has the most network bugs.
See Pondini.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
C3 .. but the error might have nothing to do with the real problem.. ie bad networking.
If your MBP has ethernet have you tried turning off wireless and attempting the backup by ethernet??
No luck give me more info.

Raw Read Error Rate, Errors occurred while reading raw data from a disk

hi
when I turn my pavilion dv6 2170ee computer on screen shows below error.
system diognostics (F2) does not any work
and when my windows7 comming up this error was shown.
I install Hard Disk Sentinel software and this program shows below:
Failure Predicted - Attribute: 1 Raw Read Error Rate, Errors occurred while reading raw data from a disk. Indicate problem with the disk surface or the read/write heads.
There are 28 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
26848 errors occured during data transfer. This may indicate problem of the device or with data/power cables. It is recommended to examine and replace the cables if possible.
Replace hard disk immediately.
how can I fix it?
may drive format (Fdisk) and renewing windows can fix it?
tanx and regards
Mohammad

Hello mohkhosh,
I see that you're getting an error indicating possible hard driver failure, that you have this message from 3 different sources. I will try to help you with this.
After reviewing everything you're looking at needing to replace the hard drive. I would suggest contacting support to see what they can do for you.

Error occured while writing cube data

Hi all,
I was working around with the manage ownership section. When i tried to change [PCON] or [POWN] values and save it, I get an error message saying "Error occurred while writing cube data". After doing some googling I found out that this was because [PCON] and [POWN] are system accounts and hence we cannot submit data to it.
Is there any way how I can resolve this issue? I have 2-3 entities which have minority and do not have 100% ownership/consolidation. Please help me out in this matter.
Regards,
Ramith

It should work, check if this helps. Page 133 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hfm_user.pdf

Hi Pijush,
The exception towards the end of the stack trace says the RENDERER_ID is an invalid identifier. the Oracle error 00904 indicates the column name must be wrong. Can you verify the repostiory xml on the BlockRepository and check the column name.

Error message while doing MIGO.

Hi,

Consolidated companies 0 and 5686 are different
Message no. F5 080
Diagnosis
The number of the affiliated company must be clear for the selected document type for all line items. In this case at least two different companies or a company in connection with a business partner who does not belong to a company are stated.
Procedure
If you selected the correct accounts, you must enter the document with a document type that allows cross-company posting. Otherwise, please correct the entered account.
Thanks in Advance,

Check Fi customizing in OBA7.
As you mentioned MIGO, I assume you are doing goods receipt, so you use document type WE.
Within WE you must not have selected the field inter-company posting .
Best you place the cursor into this field and press F1 for detailed explanation,

For the benifit of others.
The issue is resolved.
When we set the certificate password inside our application we were encrypting it inside our system.
When we sent it to tibco we did not decrypt it.
So the encrypted password was sent as it is that was the issue :(
Thanks,

I followed #C3 and loaded Time Machine Buddy, which was defnitely helpful, then deleted the file that the backup failed at, but after 3 more attempts I stopped deleting or excluding files as this wasn't improving the situation.
The recommendation is to exclude those files from being backed-up, not to delete them!
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required:
Yes, that's a bit misleading. It just means that will be done, if it's required, which it isn't on your backups.
I have no idea if anything actually was changed however just when I had given up and walked away, TM has started working after a week of failing.
It probably did find and fix something. Just for reference, Disk Utiltiy usually shows the progress and repair messages in the center part of the window, but often doesn't when repairing a sparse bundle on a network. You can see the messages at any time by clicking the Log icon in the toolbar, or select Window > Show Log from the menubar.
Anyway, glad it's sorted out!

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record. I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean. Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related. After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours. I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume. I also erased and reformatted the TM volume. However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume". I restarted the computer with no change in results. Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup. I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive. My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB. My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours. I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination. As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty. As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing. Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way? It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like). See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem); and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

TM Error. An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume

I have a 1TB Time Capsule. It's been working great for over a month. I'm now receiving an error.
Time Machine Error
Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume.
I don't know what has happened to cause this error. Does anyone know what has happened and how to fix this? The first time I received this error was when it showed under Available it had over 500 GB and was backing up 89.1 GB. Then the error. The backup scheduled time came up and TM started to backup again. Again with the error. The next time it backed up I made a note of the figures it showed. It starts the backup process "Preparing" and shows under Available 389.1 GB of 929.5 GB. Then Preparing shows that it's backing up, 13.5 GB. Then I get the error pop up. I check Time Machine and under Available it shows 370.3 GB of 929.5 GB. The scheduled time came up again. Available shows 370.3 GB of 929.5 GB and that it's backing up 18.9 GB. I'm trying to see if there is a pattern, for instance 389.1 GB - 370.3 GB = 18.8 GB. It's not 18.9 GB, but it's close. I'm wondering if there is a point which causes the backup to fail and figure out if this can be fixed. I'm stumped. The backups keep getting an error but the Available amount keeps getting lower. Again, any help would be appreciated. Maybe you see something I don't. Thank you.

I forgot to state this in my post; what I noticed beside "Latest Backup", is that it states "Failed ! (! is in a red circle)". (So why does the "Available" amount keep going down? Where is the disk storage space going if it's not backing up?). It started the backup again, it initializes "Latest Backup" by showing a blank. I was curious what it showed when I went into Enter Time Machine. I guess the last good backup was Sunday July 27, 2008 11:21 PM. That's what it shows prior to the NOW selection on the right. The Oldest Backup is June 19, 2008. I thought this might be useful to note.
I thought it would be a good idea to see what Time Machine is doing and record the steps. I know it will involve time and patience, but hopefully I'll find out something. It might be of use to someone.
- It's backing up again and it gets to the point showing that it backed up 18.8 GB of 18.9 GB and stays there for 20 minutes or so.
- Then it shows 18.9 GB of 18.9 GB, and stays at that point for a while.
- Available shows 351.5 GB of 929.5 GB.
- The Failed ! comes up again in Latest Backup. and backup stops.
- Again it looks like the disk storage is used up. (So the questions would be; 1. If the backup failed, where is the space going if the backup failed? 2. How can I get back what should be available and have it show the correct available amount?
It came up to the time it backs up again. It shows that the backup amount will be 18.9 GB. I turned Time Machine OFF. It looks like it will do the same thing. Does anyone know what is happening and what needs to be done to correct this and get my available space back with it recording the correct available amount (xxx.x GB of 929.5 GB)
