Aperture 2.1.2 can't reconnect all files, please help!

I accidentally duplicated all of my master so in all folders I have image001.cr2 and image001 (1).cr2.
The library is now referenced at the duplicate files, those ending with (1).cr2.
I then deleted all duplicate and consequently all the images in aperture show that little yellow triangle indicating that images are missing.
So I go to File->manage referenced files but even if I hit the button "reconnect all" it just reconnect one image at a time.
I don't really know how to fix this, tried many time a google search with no success!
Any help on this weird issue would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same problem!

Can't find my files, PLEASE HELP

I was arranging my files in external hard disk 750 GB using MacPro. I can't see some files in 3 folders now and I emptied the trash. I think the files are there as when I get informations of the hard disk; it shows that 570Gb are used and when I select all folders inside and get informations; it says that 450Gb are used. I would like to see the missing 120GB, I am sure that the files are there.
Please help me as those are really important data and pictures and I have a backup of that data
Thank you so much in advance,
Best regards....

Contact the closest Store in your area.

And all I did was type "Genius Bar" into search (Bing but Google would do just as well)

Always helps to include some detail of what you are using.

Recovery is possible but is not pre-installed or built in.
You will want to invest in redundant backup sets, an extra drive to recover files to.
A 2-3TB external USB3 drive is recommended for most.

- as a good example. I see too many issues with portable Passport drives.
OWC is another good place to shop - disk drives, memory, SSDs even Data Rescue.

Data Rescue 4 is $99 but demo is free to see if it works finding what is missing.

As long as you don't touch or use the drive there is more chance to find them.
Never try to move or alter files on TimeMachine volume unless you know for sure.

I strongly and highly recommend David Pogue's ebook or paperback of "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" which is a godsend and invaluable help and tips and well organized from two decades now of refinement and updates. Can be found wherever books are sold, including even in pdf format.
For backups, besides being sure to use TimeMachine, setup another drive and "clone" your system drive - can be exact copy or include archiving files and changes. For this the premiere program is Carbon Copy Cloner which is now updated for OS X Yosemite.

Can't Create New File, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello,
I've been trying to read the previous forums on this topic and none of the advice has worked for me. I am running Photoshop 7.0 on Windows XP. It has been running fine for several years until this week.
I ran the Spyder 2 Suite to calibrate my laptop and LCD monitor and now the problem has arisen. One of the software's requests was to disable Adobe Gamma so I deleter my Adobe Gamma Loader.exe file from the start up folder.
As I went to create a new file in Photoshop, nothing would happen. The whole drop down menu for File was grayed out and I would have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, as well as uninstalled the Spyder software and still can't create a new file.
I checked and my Adobe Gamma Loader is back in the startup folder.
I also tried deleting my printer and took down my firewall like other posts have listed but those also did not work.
Please help!!!! I need to get back to some work asap!
Thanks,
Ryan

try resetting your preferences per the faq:

also make sure you're running ps 7.01 there were tons of bug fixes in that update over vers 7.0.

Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files please help

Pro Photographer. I have a Mac Pro Quad core 1 yr old with 12GB Ram. I import via 2 Firewire 800 card readers - A Lexar & a UDMR Reader.Only using them singly. System has 4 1TB hard drives 1. Applications, 2. Aperture Library, 3. Aperture Vault, 4 Time Machine
On a photo shoot, first CF card may download and complete in less than a minute but the next card with a similar number ofimages may take 10 minutes.
Sometimes if I swap card readers, this can speed up download but then everything slowly grinds to a halt.
I have closed down all other programmes, switched off Faces and Enable Gestures - switched off Look up places.
Situation driving me nuts as we shoot and view images with customers immediately after the session and download time effecting the amount of time we have to do this. Nothing seems logical as such a high spec machine should theoretically fly through this.

• If you are uploading directly into Aperture, don't. Instead first copy to a folder on the hard drive.
• Capture RAW+JPEG and tell Aperture to use the camera JPEGs for Previews.

I can't view avi files - please help!

I recently bought a Samsung Smartcam, which in the booklet says it saves in JMPEG format ("video compression format H.264, MJPEG"), however when I open the files they have been saved as AVI, which my Mac won't open.
I have a MacBook Pro running the latest version of Yosemite.
Will I have to download a converter and convert all the videos I want to view, or is there another way? I looked at the settings on the camera and it doesn't give me an option to change the format.
Cheers,
Wendi

I recently bought a Samsung Smartcam, which in the booklet says it saves in JMPEG format ("video compression format H.264, MJPEG"), however when I open the files they have been saved as AVI, which my Mac won't open.
H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) and MJPEG are two different methods for compressing video data. Both are playback compatible with QT. AVI is a file container. It is also compatible with QT under Yosemite. However, QT is not programmed to play AVI files that do not contain MJPEG compressed video with or without some form of PCM encoded audio. So the primary question here is "What kind of data is in the AVI container?"
Will I have to download a converter and convert all the videos I want to view, or is there another way? I looked at the settings on the camera and it doesn't give me an option to change the format.
Unless the device records both H.264 and MJPEG simultaneously and stores both to AVI files (which alone would prevent playback), there must be a setting, either built into the device or controlled by separate software, that allows you to switch between H.264 (in a different file container) and MJPEG in the AVI file container. I would recommend trying to open the file in a third-party player like VLC to see if the file will play and what kind of data formats the file actually contains. As to the conversion of data—that would normally be a last resort to be used only if necessary.

Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

Can't reconnect PSD files.

Hi
My partner (Final cut Studio 2) send me a project file. We're collagorating on this project. I have FCE 4.5.
I was able to reconnect all the media but he also sent me some layered PSD files. I can see them in the finder, but when I try to reconnect them, I get an error msg "The file does not have enough video tracks to reconnect to stripe at time 00:00:00;00 in sequence "xxxx.psd. Click okay to make this item independent and go to the next clip or Cancel to skip all clips from this file"
I'm still learning this FCE. How can I reconnect these files fo my FCE sees them? All the video clips have been reconnected and rendered and play fine on my MBP except for these PSD files.
There's 3 sets of layered files in the sequence. Should I add more video tracks or shouldn't FCE put in what it needs?
Allen

It's in the sequence and on the timeline but showing off line. Anyway Mike said if I re-imported them I'd loose the layers. There's 3 sections, 1st is all the layers, then each of the 2 graphics are seperated one at the begining and one at the end. they're title seq.
He said he'd show me what to do when we meet. See, we each have a copy of the video clips. He does his work in Studio 2 and saves his stuff to his raid. Sends me the project file to open in FCE. So I have to reconnect the files and tell MBP they're on my external LaCie. Everything went good except for those PSD files. All of the info was in the CFP project file plus he sent me the graphics seperately. this is a wierd deal for me!
Thanks anyway. I'll let you know what happens.

Can i delete ALL files in directory ?

i create a upload test using FileReference & PHP.
In this scenario user upload files to http server.
Now how can i delete all files in /files/uploads folder in AS3
AS3 Code:
req = new URLRequest();
req.url = ( stage.loaderInfo.parameters.f )? stage.loaderInfo.parameters.f : "http://www.website.com/test/upload.php";
uploadFile = new FileReference();
select_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, browse );
uploadFile.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, complete_func );
uploadFile.addEventListener( DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, show_message );
function browse( e:MouseEvent )
          filefilters = [new FileFilter('Images',"*.jpg;*.png;*.gif")];
          uploadFile.browse( filefilters );
function complete_func( e:Event )
          trace( 'complete !' );
function show_message(e:DataEvent)
if (e.data == 'ok')
          label_txt.text = 'The file has been uploaded.';
else if ( e.data == 'error')
          label_txt.text = 'The file could not be uploaded.';
PHP Code:
<?php
$uploads_dir = './files/uploads';
if( $_FILES['Filedata']['error'] == 0 ){
          if( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploads_dir.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] ) ){
                    echo 'ok';
                    exit();
echo 'error';
exit();
?>

You need call another PHP file
<?php
   $directory = './files/uploads';
   getDirectoryList ($directory);
   //This function find all the files in the directory
   function getDirectoryList ($directory)
     // create an array to hold directory list
     $results = array();
     // create a handler for the directory
     $handler = opendir($directory);
     // open directory and walk through the filenames
     while ($file = readdir($handler)) {
       // if file isn't this directory or its parent, add it to the results
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
    //$results[] = $file;
     // Delete Files
    $filename = $file;
unlink($filename); //this delete a file
     // tidy up: close the handler
     closedir($handler);
?>

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Reconnect Media - Unable to Reconnect All Files in Relative Path

I have a project that I have restored from a DLT backup. The project file and the all the media are now on a SAN which I access from my G5. Since this project originated on a different editor's computer all of the clips in my project are ostensibly offline within my project. All of the media files are located in a single capture scratch folder on the SAN with the same filenames and reel numbers. As such, I figured that when I used "Reconnect Media" with "Reconnect All Files in Relative Path" checked, all of the files would automatically relink. However, everytime I attempt to do this, the only file that is reconnected is the original file which I manually selected to establish the file path to the rest of my media. If I use the "Search" functionality and instruct FCP to search the capture scratch folder one file at a time, without fail, it will automatically find the media and reconnect it. Yet, I cannot seem to batch reonnect, as it were.
My question is this: If all of the media files are located in the same capture scratch folder (i.e. same relative path), why won't FCP automatically reconnect all the files in that folder to the corresponding offline clips?
I have attempted to reconnect the media on two different machines. The same issue arose on both machines. This leads me to believe that the problem may be a result of some issue with the filesystem on the SAN. Also, I have run FCP rescue and attempted a reconnect with both a clean backup and entirely new preference files, to no avail.

Hi Nat,
I don't have a direct solution, and you might you've been doing this already. Although you didn't describe this. I think that what I would try to do is:
- Copy the project (backup).
- Open the project, and when it tells you that 132 clips and 714 render-files are offline, I'd select the checkboxes in order to 'Forget' the files.
- Hit OK.
- FCP 'forgot' all the links to the original files. So you forced errors from that perspective by doing this.
- Try to reconnect again.
Just a thought...
All the best
Rienk
PS What version FCP are you running?
