I just ran across a complete list of those pesky Mac OS error codes and thought that I would share. Turns out that error code -36 is just an I/O Error. Go figure….
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=9805
There are links at the bottom of this page to get the rest of the codes. Pretty helpful article actually.
Hi all,
There are a couple more articles in the apple site with other error codes, namely:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2088
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2237?viewlocale=en_US
(you’ll find the links to get there in any of the error code pages including the one posted above)
However, I cannot find error code -1319 in the list and I just got it (reason why I was searching for it…).
I’m running OSX tiger in a standard macbook (intel) with 1GB of ram and trying to copy information from a 250G lacie external hdd (using usb) to a 80G freecom hdd (using also usb). The transfer bar is less than 1/4 across and I get the error ‘operation could not be completed due to system error code -1319′
I wonder if any of you knows where can I find more info? maybe someone knows what this error means and can tell me?
I am searching the internet left and right but I really can’t find it.
Any info is appreciated ^^
thanks!

Could you help me with an “Mac OS Error = -32030″ that I wasn’t able to find a single post, neither at Google searching nor at Apple’s Support webpages?
It has to do with burning DVDs, particularly DVD-R DL ones.
Sometimes, the error message takes another form and says:
“Couldn’t complete the last command because of a Mac OS Error.
Result Code = -32030″
Also, it precedes either of the above forms of the same error message, another message that tells me: “Interface connection was unstable” or something like that.
The strange thing is that when I’m searching all those terms or phrases in Apple’s Support site I don’t get even a single result … ONLY ME IN THE WHOLE WORLD (!!) that kind of problem has chosen to make its appearance?
I have an early 2008 iMac 24″ at 3,06 GHz with 4 GB DDR2 RAM and I’m using Toast 10 Pro as for burning my discs.
Thank you in advance, for your time and effort!
Me again
I have found the Error Codes I’ve asked for. The only thing is that in two different places there are some small differences in the Code’s explanation text. See for your self:
1. http://www.gete.net/dossiers/erreurs/Liste_Erreurs.php
and
2. http://www.peter.com.au/programming/mac-os-errors.html
But the most exciting for me, is that i have found suggestions for my problem with my iMac’s super-drive! It is in the following address:

What exactly is error code -36???? I’m trying to install adobe cs3 but whenever I try to copy de .dmg archive to my desktop, this error turns up!
I’d really appreciate a piece of help! thank youu all!
According to http://www.peter.com.au/programming/mac-os-errors.html, error -36 is simply listed as an I/O Error.
Since you say you have CS3 from a .dmg file, I would assume this has been downloaded. Not to encourage illegal downloading, but attempting to download another copy would probably be the best bet.

http://www.peter.com.au/programming/mac-os-errors.html denotes “Mac OS Error = -32030? as “Please insert the Disc”.
I would assume this is a hardware related issue sadly. Highly recommend taking your iMac into an Apple Store for service.
I’m getting -1710 I can’t open “Pages application, or any of my existing documents that were created using it. (only on my new MacBook Pro), I have a 4 year old Black MacBook, I am not having this problem on that one.
I also can’t connect with my SMTP server, it does not recognize my user name on either of my MacBooks. All the settings are correct, I have taken them all out, and redone them “in case it was what was needed” still refuses to acknowledge me”. When I correct the issues, I’ll come back in and let everyone know how I did it.
Blessed Be

Good Morning;
I have resolved my problem with “pages applications” I had to reload the software just for that one application, I have still not gotten email to work, though according to ALL diagnostic checks – it is 100% correct, so I have missed something along the line. I am walking away for awhile. I’ll return later with a clear head. Good luck everyone. I wish you all the best … A day without my MAC …SUCKS!!!
@Lady Selene
Hope you get your Mac back up and running soon. If you are having issues across applications, I would strongly encourage you to make a backup of essential data, as this is a telltale sign of hard drives failures.
Hopefully that’s not the case, but always better to have your data than naught.
@Clay
The blinking question mark on a folder means that the computer can’t find a System folder on the boot drive (your hard drive).
This most likely indicates a hard drive failure, and I would recommend a few things. If you have a Mac with a firewire port and have access to another Mac with a firewire port, you can purchase a cable that has the same connection on both ends so you can plug your Mac to the other one. From there, you could possibly have access to all your files on the second Mac and be able to retrieve your data.
Try googling for booting in “Target Disc Mode” for more information on this.
If you have a recent backup, either of your own doing or possibly with Time Machine, it might be time to do a restore. And finally, if these don’t succeed, you probably will need a new hard drive. If your Mac is still under warranty, it would be a good idea to take it to your local Apple Store to talk with a Genuis.
Here is a link to an Apple Knowledge Base Article detailing several error codes.
Hi,
I downloaded Mac OS X 10.5 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive from dev.mysql.com and having a bit of a problem. Didn’t have any problems w/installation, but when I click on the button, StartMySQLServer, and enter my password, all I get is the spinning rainbow wheel. I tried several times, but it’s not working.
It comes up:
Error
Could not startup MySQL server
Reason 255
I’ve not been able to find out what that error code references. Is there any chance that the version I downloaded, and/or its specific mirror was faulty? Double checked my comp display, and it’s 32 bit. Could that be it?
Thank you.
My message was code 1712. I tried placing my disc 1 in and installing the utility but it rejected it each time and then I discovered that what I really needed to do was update my computer and then everything worked fine. I hadn’t updated my computer in a week. so I think that’s all I needed was to update my computer because everything is now working properly. Hope this help someone with code 1712. I wish apple would publish these little tips. My gosh. It’s so time consuming to figure these things out.
