What is error code-1407 ??

hi
I was trying to get rid of some applications on my Mac that I never use and when I try to move something to the trash i get a message saying that there is error code-1407!!  Any ideas???

There is a set number of programs that are required for the operating system to run.
Especially any program already in the Utilities folder that you did not install is part of the operating system.
Furthermore, your 10.5.8 Apple menu -> System Preferences -> accounts -> select your startup account -> Login Items may be launching a program at startup that is trying to access the program you are trying to trash.   Remove it from the Login Items by selecting it and hitting the minus sign below.   You may have to unlock your administrative password.  If you forgot that password, this guide should help you.
Error code -1407 comes up with this info.  If it expected a folder, and got a file, that might be a sign of data corruption.   You aren't using MacKeeper on the computer per chance?  If you are, you need to remove it using these instructions.  Any system utility that cleans system cache (not browser cache) could lead to this sort of corruption.  Stop using such utilities, and boot in safe mode to remove third party applications of other sources.  Safe mode is with the shift key. 
Lastly, not all the remaining libraries of an application may be removed.   You may need to reinstall the application in question after installing an uninstaller program, so all the appropriate libraries may be removed.  This is especially necessary if you think you'll need to access that program in the future and don't want to fill up your Time Machine or other backup with that program's data.
If you are using another operating system that is having this trouble, please update your signature or tell us what you are using by going to Apple menu -> About This Mac.

  • Finder wont Delete and Gives me Error Code -1407

    So, i'll Just get right into it. About a week ago I installed a MAC NTFS read/write driver (file located here: http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/) or whatever in order to transfer a 4gb ISO file over to an NTFS external HD. It was only after this that I started to notice some weird stuff happening.
    1- All of the stuff on my normal External HD (Formatted in FAT 32) that was put there before the driver was installed wont delete, but New Stuff Will.
    2- There is a weird file in my trash bin that has weird and unrecognized characters in the title and says it was created in 1903, but it is 0kb in size. And it wont delete. (I have tried Secure Delete)
    3- whenever i try to delete It gives me a message that says: "Sorry, the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occurred. Error Code -1407"
    I have tried Secure Delete on the files, like I said, and I've ran OnyX. Though It hasnt seemed to have worked. Also, when I transfer the files that wont delete over to a windows machine, they wont play (Some of these files are AVI video files) and say the files are corrupted. (I've tried VLC on the files on the windows machine) But, the files all play normally on my own Mac Machine. I just now got fed up with all of this and decided to ask for some help. Anyone got any Idea whats going on? Whats the Error Code -1407 mean? (I have uninstalled the driver and its all still messed up)

    I don't know about your first issue for sure-more details could help.
    EDIT: Try opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and typing the blue text in (copy and paste it):
    ls -aleO@
    DON'T press enter yet. Type a space, and drag a file you can't delete into Terminal. You'll see its path displayed onscreen. Press enter, and paste the results into a reply.
    As to your second 2 problems, I would suggest, if you are running Boot Camp, booting into windows, and running chkdisk.
    Good luck!
    P.S. Welcome to Discussions!

  • Error code - 1407 what does it mean?

    Hi All,
    I have just bought new LaCie Hard Drive, formated it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) -
    I thought in this way it will sync with Mac better and connected it via USB 2.0 to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I can see the disk in Airport Utility under disk tab and in Finder Go>Network
    Unfortunatelly my problem is that when I drag something into my new disk I get *Error code - 1407*
    _Can you tell me please what does it mean and what can I do?_
    thanks in advance

    How did you record your voice?
    "Error code -38" is a file error - the file is not open, when it should be played. There must be a problem with the audio file format of your voice recording.

    Have you tried putting the file from your Drobo, onto your computer, then onto to the external hard drive?

    Anyone know what Error code-1407 is? How do I fix it? Thanks

    The error is:
    errFSNotAFolder = -1407, /* Expected a folder, got a file */
    You're doing something related to a folder, but are pointing to a file. As Barry asked, what are you doing to cause the error?

  • 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?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • What is error code 603 and how does one fix it?

    What is error code 603, please, regarding add-on installation?  (The error codes page says for "error 6xx" to contact the Exchange online forum for assistance..)  It is a "failed online license check" for an add-on that is a free add-on listed on the Adobe Add-ons page as compatible with PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014, as well as all three versions of a bunch of other apps.  It is a Flypaper app, which looks to have been reworked to be compatible with the new 2014 apps.  Since Flypaper apps come from reliable source, I'm not sure what the error means, and I'm certainly not sure how to remedy this.  (The original Russell Brown Paper Textures Pro works fine on PS CC but isn't compatible with 2014.)
    I am running Win 7 64-bit.
    Thanks.
    Gail
    p.s.  numbers of other extensions still don't download  to PS 2014, so maybe this is also waiting for an Adobe fix??

    The add-on in question is called "Flypaper Select" (by Flypaper Textures).
    This morning, when I sent  the question, it was on last page of the free PS
    add-on list and showed the add-on as compatible with all three latest PS
    versions.  Tonight, when I click on the add-on in "my add-ons" list, it now
    shows compatibility only with PS6 and CC, and  I can no longer even find it
    in the big add-ons list.  I will try to send screen shot of "my add-ons" to
    the address you listed.  It is also below.
    Thanks for your help.  I have been finding many add-ons change from day to
    day, and many won't show up in Extensions window even though the desktop CC
    app says they have been installed.  I assume I am not the only person with
    these problems.

  • Has anybody knows about error code 1407, I'm trying to get one of the application erase but I can't.

    I'm trying to erase some application but I can't due to a error code 1407, can somebody please help out?

    The 1407 code usually means the file/program is locked and in use. Reboot your system and then move it to he trash. If you still get the error, do a safe boot by holding the shift key down (this will take longer than your normal boot) then delete it. If it still doesn't work, find the original OS X DVDs (or Snow Leopard disk) that shipped with your system, boot to the DVD by holding the C key down, then delete the application on your internal hard drive.

    Are you trying to downgrade your iPhone?
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
    (from iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting)
    If not, try to move or delete the IPSW file and let iTunes download it again.
    Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
    iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your device. If those  files  are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file  to a different directory. This will cause  iTunes to  download a new copy of the IPSW.    When a restore issue is specific to a  user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user  will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new  user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:

  • What is error code 2324 when installing iTunes?

    What is error code 2324?  I got this when trying to re-install iTunes.  I was in the middle of the latest iTunes update when I had to cancel it.  Now I can't access my music so I tried to reinstall iTunes but I get this error code.   I also get a error message saying I need Administrator privlages.  Well I am the Admininstrator and logged in as it.  I can't reinstall iTunes and when I go to remove programs I don't see it listed only Apple Application and Apple Updates, along with an Apple Mobile Device Support. 
    I even 'restored' my system to earlier today before I started downloading the iTunes update to no avail.  Any ideas/suggestions?
