The action "Watch Me Do" has encountered an error. The operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error - 50.)

Morning,

  • Material: Apple Macbook Air 13 ", mid-2013. 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7. 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. Etc...
  • El Capitan software to. 10.11.2
  • Automator to. 2.6 (419)

I'm trying to automate downloads via iTunes take place during early in the morning to avoid using bandwidth more expensive. The operation (my apologies if I have the wrong terms, not a tech guy) fails and returns this error:

The action "Watch Me Do" has encountered an error.

The operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error - 50.)

Is that what everyone has seen, or to which there is a known solution?

Concerning

James

Watch Me Do is designed to replay the same click of mouse and keyboard events to the same speed.  Think of driving your car to work and record each turn and stop.  Then play each round and down at the same speed.  What to do if while reading the traffic moves a little faster or a little slower?  If you drive the same route to work, you could get a red light at an intersection that you had a green light to yesterday.  "Watch Me" does not know how to deviate from these changes, so he'll just to stop and report an error.  If iTunes launches slower or an event during playback takes longer to achieve because of different background running processes, it will have the same effect.

Allowing automatic downloads in iTunes and help Automator to activate your device network at a specific time might be a better solution.

    Hi deankirkland,

    Please reset the Bridge preferences and then try it.

    Measures

    Start Adobe Bridge, and immediately press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS down) until the dialogue box reset settings appears.

    Select all three options - reset preferences, reset Standard Workspaces and all miniature Purge Cache - and then click OK.

  • Save for Web and devices, the operation could not be completed

    I get this error when I save for Web and devices: the operation could not be performed.

    I saved to the web before for many more complex images, largest and without a hitch.

    I use a psd format with an image that I designed. It is no more complex than others I've done. It is small, just a horizontal navigation bar about the size of the one on Apple's site.

    I tried exporting, flattening, slicing it remove the slices.

    I think it's a problem with the application itself.

    I tried to fix my permissions, restart and held cmd, Opt, Control, Shift when starting PS to reset the settings. Any idea would be appreciated.

  • Error "the operation could not be completed" - made bridge to freeze

    I just installed the latest version of the bridge and use it for the first time to organize the images for a video project.  By browsing through my media in the content window, I'll try to rename lot a group of clips by selecting them all, but sometimes (maybe half the time or more) when I pointed out, I get an error that says: 'the operation failed. "  I'll hit Ok, and now my Bridge seems to be half-frozen.  I say half, because I can always rename batch, but now I can't navigate further through the different folders in the content tab and the only thing that works is coming out completely and restart Bridge.  Restarting bridge is also a problem, because I can't CMD + Q, or right click and quit smoking, I have to CMD + ALT + Esc and force him to leave.

    I use the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.5) and wonder if this is the problem, or does anyone else have this problem as well.  I'm running the 6.1.1.10 bridge.

    Hi Jeff,

    Please make sure that you have the latest version of QuickTime and bridge CC to date.

  • Photoshop CC 2015.1.1 update, error starting, "the operation could not be completed.

    This error has been reported several times in the past month. I am suspect of the most recent update of Photoshop CC 2015 that this error was not a problem before this specific update and I used Adobe CC for years, including Photoshop and have never had a problem.

    As reported, during the startup application, I get the following error.

    Screen Shot 2015-12-26 at 4.54.37 PM.png

    I uninstalled the application by using the uninstall program Adobe (Utilities folder) and have had no success. Error continues. I pressed the "Shift" key to start without third-party plugins (which there should be none after removing the application and preferences. No help. A note that the application, after you click 'OK' to confirm the error opens ever-so-press briefly (perhaps five to seven seconds) but just as quickly crashes.

    Honestly, I don't think that there is a problem with Adobe CC by saying given that other current applications (InDesign, 2015, Muse 2015, prelude 2015, Acrobat, etc.) open them all very well. It seems that Photoshop and only the last (current) version.

    I suspect that as it is, that this version of Photoshop is more compatible with my older iMac (graphics card). Here's some basic info:

    Model: iMac7, 1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB, MSC 1.21f4

    Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, ATI, RadeonHD2600, PCIe, 256 MB

    Memory module: DIMM0/0 BANK, 2 GB, 667 MHz, DDR2 SDRAM

    Memory module: 1/DIMM1 BANK, 2 GB, 667 MHz, DDR2 SDRAM

    This simple upgrade can be a more expensive if I am forced now to upgrade my computer . Any help would be appreciated.

    It is a known issue, I logged bugs on this subject a few weeks ago. He is still being worked on. The only solution for now is to install the previous version (CC 2015 16.0).

    Hi all

    Fixed a problem.

    It turns out the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers must be cleaned too - delete all subkeys (and their values) EXCLUDES the Internet Provider LanMan Print Services and printing keys (and their values).  A reboot is required.

    Hope it will be useful for people who have this problem in the future.

    Hi kkriss,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    The network printer is connected to a XP computer?
    Are either using a 64-bit version of Windows?

    I suggest visiting the manufacturer's Web site to see if they have Windows 7 drivers or at least Vista drivers.

    I also propose to sign in as an administrator to install the printer.

    Please let us know if that helps.

  • "Cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. "

    When you attempt to change the priority of a process in the Task Manager (no matter what process, I've tried a few) I get the error message: cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. It is while being logged on as an administrator. Would appreciate a solution.

    Since Windows Vista and Windows 7, a logon administrator account always uses a standard or limited account for certain purposes. To access these properties, you can run a program using the "Run as administrator". To run as an administrator, you right-click on a program and select "Run as Administrator" in the right click menu.

    Some processes of the system, such as services, you cannot change even as an administrator.  Come on in "show processes from the user all the" which will ask for permission. Then reopen the task Administrator Manager and then see if you can change the priority.

    Why you get this message? You want to open the Contacts?

    Before you answer that:

    stop the Mac, start the mac while holding the SHIFT key: mac begins (a little slower) in safe mode, connection, open the Contacts, you get the same question?

    Restart and try again.

  • XP Home Edition, SP3. Clean install. Printer driver has not been installed. Operation could not be performed.

    I searched this problem and what I read it is that it is either due to a failed attempt to install a driver or a driver designed for an earlier version of Windows.

    I've never had this problem before, but here are the details.
    Clean install of XP Sp3 with all updates installed prior to the installation of the driver.
    Brother MFC-490CW downloaded latest driver on the brother support site.
    Printer is set up on the WiFi network on IP 10.0.1.2
    I created a new Standard TCP/IP Port with the IP 10.0.1.2
    I have installed 2 other printers on this network in order to use the printer very well. (Vista and Windows 7)
    I get to the very last step on installing printer wizard and click on "Finish".
    The pilot progress bar window install window opens for a fraction of a second and closes.
    I get the error 'printer driver is not installed. Operation could not be completed.
    I tried everything... Any help would be appreciated.

  • "Sync has encountered an error during synchronization: unknown error." Synchronize automatically retrying this action. »

    Hello

    I want to switch to Chrome, Firefox, but I have a problem with the synchronization feature.
    It always displays the following error message: ' Sync has encountered an error during synchronization: unknown error. " Synchronize automatically retrying this action. »

    I already tried this work around, but it did not work: remove my account from syncing, completely reset my Firefox profile, import my favorites of Chrome (using an HTML file), set up a new sync account (using the same e-mail address then that previously deleted).
    But I still get the error message.

    I saw in other threads that could be a problem with the story, so I also tried to delete, but it doesn't work anymore.

    Here is my last sync-log file: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8219943

    Thanks for your help.

    I finally found a solution to this problem of synchronization:

    I downloaded the add-on 'Housekeeping' and run the integrity check routine, and it seems to have solved the problem.
