  • Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

    I had to uninstall iTunes a few months ago and successfully re-installed, but part of my music was missing.   At one point, following the instructions on a thread on the forums Apple or Microsoft, I saved my music library on the desktop. Since then, I do not have a library of music on the desktop file.  In my looooooong hours trying to fix things, I do not know if I deleted it or what.

    Hi serene,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    As indicated by the error, this problem appears, when these files/libraries that are saved automatically are not present on your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it can help solve the problem.

    • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
    • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
      1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
      2. In the section back up , click change settings.
      3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
      4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
      5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
      6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
      7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
      8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the steps in the following article for troubleshooting backup problems.

    I have a problem with several files that I can't remove.

I was able to move a couple of them from 'C:\Users\Public\Music' to 'C:\Corrupted records' so I don't have to look at, but one of them is

    refusing to move. If I try to open it, I get the message "C:\Users\Public\Music\P.O.D. refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network.

If I try to change properties it tells me that the "system cannot find specified file."

    This issue is driving me crazy... I should be able to just go and start over, but I won't be able to copy this particular music folder. I could live without it, I suppose, but I wouldn't not to-I fear that this will happen in folders more if I can't find a solution. I could ignore it, but I am too a retention... I installed servers in a previous life, and when such things happen that we do something more deep is what concerns me in particular.

    Any suggestions? Please?

    Hi Zarebeth. I have the answer to your problem. The problem you are having is the same problem I had, it's a file name that ends with a '. '. (one point). That's THE problem, which has also caused all of your previous attempts remove this folder to fail. Windows does not allow you to create such a file, but Mac FACT (you mentioned that your music library lay on an old Mac)! Try for yourself, create a folder in Windows called "P.O.D." and Windows automatically re-writing this folder as "Painter" (note the last missing point). MAC doesn't have a problem with that, you can call your folder "P.O.D." witout any problem (but also allows you to call this 'Painter' folder (note the last missing point)). The only problem is when a folder created on a Mac device ends on a computer Windows, that happened when you copied the musicfolder of your Mac on your Windows 7 laptop. For example, I had the problem with music "C:\Users\Public\Music\M.I.A" and "C:\Users\Public\Music\T.I." after that I copied the files from my Ipod Touch (also a feature of Mac of course) for my new Windows 7 laptop to function.

    Now, I can only tell you how to remove this folder, I don't know how to recover all the data that have remained in this "indelible" folder (if any). What you can do of course, is to return to your old Mac, rewrite the "P.O.D." folder as "Painter" (note the last missing point) which will BE recognized by your computer laptop Windows 7.

    It's very simple, and you'll wonder how the sollution might actually be this simple :))

    GO to "command prompt" (start > all programs > Accessories > prompt) then in the command prompt (the small black screen with white letters), you type (in your case):

    RD/s '\\?\C:\Users\Public\Music\P.O.D.

    RD is as a function of deleting files (not for the files).

    You will then be asked if you are sure "(Y/N)" and then of course, you type 'Y' and press enter! " And like that... begone is the folder which you so frustrated! Happy days are back! : )

  • E:\Program files... refers to a location that is not available... while trying to launch my documents.

    The problem started when I tried to uninstall Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I used some mods that created a backup folder. And now I can not delete the backup folder. I think the problem is that I have included «...» "at the end of the name. I read that. "at the end of the windows files are a big problem.


    The problem is off of hands, because I can't open my documents. And I can't download anything without noticing it, the file is missing.
    When I try to open my documents, it says "Program E:\Program games\Gta san andreas\Backups\name... made reference to a location unavalible. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Check that... »

    I tried uninstalling various programs that apparently suppress it, but he'll be back on the next startup. I even tried to delete it in command prompt, who got rid of him until the next boot upward.

  • Done F:\Akston\Desktop refers to a location that is not available

    I don't even really know how to describe this problem.

    This problem started when I got an external hard drive for Christmas. I copied my entire "My documents" folder on the external drive. I ended up having to backup and copy because I accidentally made a shortcut once and accidentally moved the whole thing once. So it's probably what is the impetus for my problems.

    How, how it manifests:

    When I turn on my PC, it says that F:\user\desktop is not available. But the drive 'F' is not where everything is, and I have no idea how the F drive would somehow enter my startup or registry or whatever it is. Drive F is only affected by Windows when I connect to a mobile device (blackberry/android phone) via USB charger. I never ran anything my phone is off so I have no idea why the F drive would all of a sudden my office.

    The other manifestation of some error (register?), it's also impossible for me to open any microsoft office files. Else - pdf, jpg, works very well, but no file Microsoft does open on my computer.

    Every time I click on a file to open it it tells me that Microsoft cannot access ' C:\Users\Akston\...

    The files are still there, is not the problem. I can copy the files on a USB key and open it on a different computer, and when I click the icon of a file .ppt file, windows displays a preview of the first slide. Then the files are there and Windows recognizes to some extent, but it will not open files from Microsoft that are on my C drive, or my external hard drive, any USB jump drive I connected or emails.

    I can open MS Office programs, but not save anything because it says "an error has occurred the logon dialog box. I guess I can just try to re - install MS Office (which would be a problem because I can not find the disc), but if it's a problem of MS office, it does not explain why my startup is looking for desktop on my drive "F".

    Any ideas how I can fix?

    I tried a system restore to as soon as possible (while the problem), and that solves nothing. I tried to scan the discs thinking that maybe there was a corrupt file or something. I tried the Defrag. I tried spybot.

    I have not tried a registry cleaner because I have read that they can do more harm that good, so I thought I'd post here for an overview.

    Sorry for the long post, don't know what else to do. Thought I would try this before that I have just went ahead and bought a new computer because of what is probably a tiny, fixable error.

    Hello

    ·         What is the exact error you get when you try to open Microsoft Office applications?

    ·         Are there external drivers connected to the computer when you start on the desktop?

    If so remove all connected readers and then boot to the desktop and check what is happening.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop without errors. To start in safe mode follow the link given below.

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode then boot to the desktop in normal mode and check that the third-party program is causing the problem. To configure your computer to clean boot follow the link below.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Method 2:

    You can use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow the link below.
