Where is a list of error codes? but have no idea what it means.

I get errors followed by some code number. Example: an unexpected error occurred -1857 [24]. So what if you don't know what it means. Also, if you are expecting an error, what is the message?

The only thing the MacErrors.h file shows for the "-1857" error is "drag was not accepted by receiver"--which probably isn't very helpful. You have a copy of the MacErrors list in your /System/Library folder, do a Command-F search on "MacErrors.h" which is buried many folders deep inside /System/Library/Frameworks. If you have Xcode installed it will open in Xcode. Otherwise you can open it with TextEdit and resave it as a plain text file in your Documents folder for handy reference.

P.S. The error sound "bong" is driving us nuts!

I changed my wireless broadband to a landline-base DSL wifi and it works like a charm. Sun was the culprit even you fiddle with its router and disable firewall, it won't work.
try changing yours too and let me know how it goes.

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.

I have a MacBook Pro, Matshita UJ-857E while recording music my drive reported an error: Sense Key=HARDWARE ERROR Sense Code=0x03,0x01 I have no idea what this means, and now my cd burner/player won't work. can someone help me fix this problem?

Please Help me. I am having problems with my MATSHITA UJ-857E DVD-R burner/writer. I burned 4 cd's and then it stopped working.
I can select my songs, and then it asks for a blank disc. It starts preparing to write the disc,then it says,"
The drive reported an error: Sense Key= HARDWARE ERROR Sense Code= 0x09,0x01 TRACKING SERVO FAILURE.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix it or what this means because I have no idea what it is talking about or how to begin to fix the problem?

This is an error reported by the optical drive's firmware. The tracking servo is the servomechanism which guides the laser pickup along the track on the optical disc. The error means that the servo couldn't do its job within the programmed parameters. What it doesn't say is why.
You have to be very precise as to when this error occurs. If it occurs as you wrote, while it "starts preparing to write the disc", and not when it has actually began to burn, then it's likely that the drive has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
There are other possibilities, so you should check them, but they would be more likely if the error occurred after the drive began to write. OrangeMarlin has suggested two options -- try a different brand of CD or DVD, and try cleaning the lens.

All of my emails are gone. My accounts are all IMAP. Only one was affected. I had checked via a browser and my iPhone and the emails are gone. I am able to send/receive current emails, but have no idea what happened.

I have a MBP running Lion 10.7.3 and was importing some photos in to iPhoto '11 9.2.3 and thought I'd look at my mail. I opened it up, iPhoto got quit unexpectedly and the next thing I know my email inbox is empty, except for one "Apple iPod Antitrust email."
My email is on iCloud and I have look at my mail through browsers and my iPhone. The old emails are not there.
I have no idea what to do or where to start looking.
Help!

Hello SHEFE
If iTunes did not have anything in it after the update, there is a way to go back to what it was before. The steps are located in the article below.
No content shows up in iTunes after updating

I just tried to open Captivate 4 and received "Error code 147:20" I'm on hold with support and thought I could get some information here while I am waiting and waiting and waiting.....

I don't think you can, you could try to email apple about the problem or depending on what you mean by "info" if it is just apps you can re download them again once you restore it.

Want to Upgrade my Graphics Card but have no idea what I can have.

Hi guys, I've a 2 x 2Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro1,1 with 1.33Ghz Bus Speed and 667Mhz DDR2 RAM, I currently have the standard GeForce 7300GT Graphics Card it came with and I'd like to upgrade it.
I believe that I can only get a GeForce 8800GT, and that there are different versions for different Mac Pro's, but I have no idea which is the one I need to be getting.
Could someone please help?

The ATI Radeon 4870 Mac Edition is the best card you can put in your machine. It absolutely smokes with Pro Apps, and is a great gaming card as well.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A
Some things to remember: You can only use one of these cards in your machine at a time as it will use both of your auxiliary power connectors. Also, it has one DVI and one Mini DisplayPort. If you want to run dual monitors you'll need one of these adapters for the second monitor:
If it's DVI: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A

Getting an error message in code, but don't know what it means to do

import java.util.*;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
class Mid{
static Scanner console = new Scanner (System.in);
     public static void main(String args[]){
     int i = 0;
     int j = 0;
     int k = 0;
     int mid = 0;
     System.out.print("Enter an integer between 1 and 365: ");
     i = console.nextInt();
     j = console.nextInt();
     k = console.nextInt();
     System.out.println();
     if (i>j && j>k)
     mid = j;
     System.out.println(+ j);
     else if (i<j && j>k)
     mid = max(i, k);
     System.out.println(+ mid);
     else if (i>j && j<k)
     mid = min(i, k);
     System.out.println(+ mid);
     else if (i<j && j<k)
     mid = j;
     System.out.println(+ j);
}keeps telling me 'else' without 'if'
i don't get it, the program is supposed to work such that if i put in 3 distinct numbers, i, j, and k, i can use the program to find out which one is in the middle

An if statement without curly brackets only includes the first statement following it, e.g.
if(condition)
    doSomething(); //This one belongs inside the if
    doSomethingElse(); //This one is outside the ifwhereas
if(condition)
    doSomething(); //This one belongs inside the if
    doSomethingElse(); //This one is also inside the if
}So you else if statements are currently floating in the middle of nowhere.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:
