Gaming Swapnote: "An Error Has Occurred"

[Jiehfeng]

Everytime I make a new note and try to delete one, swapnote says an error has occurred.
And I tried deleting swapnote and re downloading it but no results. Please help

May have to contact nintendo on that one. May be a simple connectivity issue, but u never know. Could be something more complex and you'll have to get repair. I've had it happen a couple times but not that frequent.

I had a similar problem, it would download a note then say you already had it even though I didn't. I had to delete my notes, then turn off spotpass and streetpass. Turn the program off, then open it again and choose spotpass delivery check and then it would check to see if I could receive notes again then turn the passes back on and it has been fine since.

Give to nintendo? No wai!

Re-format your SD card? (Before you back-up your archives)

Errr, I don't know.
Shall I try removing the extra data?

 

[Jiehfeng]

I removed the extra data and it worked
Thnx for all your help. But I have to start over :s

This. I answered too late though, but I have had the same problem before.

You lose everything, INCLUDING NIKKI's NOTES. Or, at least, I did.

Yeah, that's the downside

I used to have errors all the time where I would randomly get swapnotes with a future date on them (so they would show up as the "newest" for up to a month sometime), and sometimes i even got swapnotes dated from 2004 and 2009, which isn't possible for obvious reasons. Sometimes, I would even get a swapnote 2 weeks after i was supposed to receive it. That doesn't seem to happen anymore, though.

 

[Jiehfeng]

It happened again -_-

I backed up what I can and reformatted the SD card. It's the only thing I can think of that can cause spontaneous data corruption.

So, I copy all the files on my sd card and put it on my computer?

Then format and put them back. Will the e-shop games and other stuff will be there? Plz reply soon

Yes. I've done it before. Just make sure you keep everything in the same folders, etc and you'll be fine.

Thnx
Copying all files now... Once I'm done copying, can I format my sd card just by "Format..." in windows or SD Formatter?

yes

 

[Jiehfeng]

yes

Yes what? Windows standard format or sd formatter? I think I'll go with sd formatter.
It takes a lot of time copying all these files

 

[Jiehfeng]

I can't copy all those files

Tried separately but still no results. At some points the copying gets stuck in one file and doesn't copy.
What should I do?

Oh. my apologies, i didnt realize you were asking a question. Windows standard format should work fine.

Idk man. sounds like some of your files are corrupted.

Skip that file. You may lose data for a game that was stored in that file though. It does explain why there are errors though, probably just data corruption.
