"Cannot find file" with "!" point

I have read a reply to this same problem by Katrina which identifies a way to open the old library, but her description is too technical for me to follow to conclusion and eliminate the problem. In short, I am getting a version of my library with exclamation points which will not allow me to add new MP3 files to my player. Can someone please,....please,....post a detailed reply with a step by step means to eliminate this annoying problem, thank you

Several ways to Clean Up Your Library by Finding &/or Removing Broken ("!" )or ‘dead links’ within iTunes:
If you move, edit, delete or otherwise change a music file listed in the iTunes Library with a program or tool other than iTunes, you may end up with a "!" in front of the song name or a message like “the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" *It is important to note that iTunes does not keep track of music file changes made outside of iTunes.*
This can also happen if you store some/all of your music on an External HD (ExHD) that is not permanently mapped to a specific drive letter. Attaching another external connection (USB Flash Pen, Camera, etc.) can take that drive letter and move your ExHD down the alphabet. iTunes will get lost when this happens. Bet to initially mount any iTunes music ExHD further down the alphabet – say L: (for Lossless) or M: (for Music). This way, your ExHD drive designation should not inadvertently change.
See these Threads for ways of finding &/or removing the Broken Links:

EASIER:
Download this to your Desktop: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt (right-click, save-link-as)
and this, as well: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt (right-click, save-link-as)
Rename each to FindDeadTracks.js & RemoveDeadTracks.js respectively.
Run iTunes.
1) While iTunes is running, double click FindDeadTracks.js to run the script.
It will give you a list of all the exclamation marked tracks.
2) While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script.
It will remove all the exclamation marked tracks.
One step, no fuss, no muss.
Then, give Otto42 a big 'Thanks' for this one.
Best of Luck

Cannot find file/exclamation point!!!

Some of my music in itunes will not play, it seems completely random which ones play and which ones decide not to. One day the song may play and the next day the exclamation point will appear beside the song when I try to play it. Please help, this is driving me crazy...i have an updated version of itunes, however this is not a new problem..just one i have been avoiding until i find the answer. Please help!
PC Windows XP

Make sure your files are all in the same place and updated.
The problems come when you start moving files and cleaning it up manually. I would erase all your albums in your library, and then re-add the folders to your library.
I think the problem is you are someone else is moving around your files manually. The exclamation point means the file wasn't in the palce it was the last time it played.
This happens to me when I use my itunes over a shared network. If the files are on another machine, and that machine is unavailable, the files show up as exclamation points.

Dsc 8.2.1 cannot find files with built application

I am building an application using the DSC 8.2.1 with LV 8.2.1. I am running into the problem where I go to start the .exe and I get asked for varxnode.xnode and a ton of other files. It feels like I have to copy almost all of my labview development folder over to get all the vis required, which is VERY tedious and will make for a huge .exe. I am sure I am doing something wrong.
My program is using Fieldpoint 5.0.1, DSC 8.2.1, and LabVIEW 8.2.1. In the .exe I have debugging enabled (I get an error that the vi became broken when I try to disable debugging.), Enhanced DSC support (I read that I need this enabled to use the netowrk published shared variables).
THanks for your thoughts.
Kenny

Kenny,
In order to eliminate the problem, you will probably want to disable enhanced DSC support. Here is a description of what the Enhanced DSC Run-Time support actually does:
Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time support (LabVIEW DSC Module) - Enable this feature if your application uses VI server refnum (green) methods and/or properties to programmatically modify a library file. If your application uses the VI server refnum methods and/or properties to programmatically modify a library file and you do not enable this option, then those methods and properties will return errors when run from the built executable. You do not need to enable this option if your application uses the online (purple) variable refnum properties to manage processes and shared variables. You do not need to enable this option to programmatically deploy or undeploy a library file. Enabling this option will increase the size of the built executable and reduce start-up performance of the built-executable and should be enabled only for applications that use the VI-server refum methods and properties for modifying library files.
If your program is not programmatically modifying libraries using the VI-server refnum methods, you will probably not need that support. However, if you are, you will need to install the DSC Run Time System onto the machine. There is a KB on this topic here:

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?"

We recorded a song yesterday and saved it as properly as the other sessions we also recorded. Today I want to open it, but it always says "Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?" But I've got the problem only with one file, the other songs are ok.
The odd thing is: the file is there, also the tracks in the file and the recordings in the tracks appear. But the music inside the recordings is gone. Also the media file is empty. I'm quite desperate and my band will kill me. Can anybody help?

Did you move the songs to the current folder AFTER you added them to iTunes? Sounds like you did. Big mistake. You may just have to delete you library and re-import them from the current folder. Once you've done that, leave the files where they are. iTunes can't track where you're moving your music to from one place to the next.

Cannot sync photos-says cannot find file, will not sync

eveytime I try to sync, when it gets to photos, iTunes has an error window with no code that says "Cannot find file, cannot sync" Everthing else backs up and syncs except photos. My husband uses the same mac and he can sync just fine, no errors.

For iPhoto the link said:
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.) If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.
Are you doing step 3? You can also right click and select Show Package Contents. It works both ways for me. I just tried it.

None of the links in my TOC or INDEX work. Cannot find file is the error message.

The files are on a networked drive. Win7. FM 8. I've renamed files. Regenerated. Created a new book. Nothing works.
I do have hyphens and underscores in the file names but no other special characters.
Need help urgently.
The error message is:
Cannot find file named
\SOL\Data\TechDocs\DRAFT\Shiva\OperatorManual\096-0461-001C-1.
fm.
Make sure that the file exists.
Note that the TOC and INDEX are listed in the book w/o a path while the body chapter has the entire path (above) listed in the book view.
Thanks

IIRC, FM8 had an issue with a path having more than 5 (or 6?) sub-folders. Try bringing the files up a few levels or create a mapped network drive down to the lower levels.

LGBD390 blu-ray cannot find the access point of WRT160N/3.

I have been trying to set up the wireless connection to be able to view streamed movies from netflix through my LGBD390 blu-ray player. I have successfully connected the wireless router to my Embarq router. When I check status, it says it is enabled and connection is o.k. I have been on the phone with Linksys (and was charged $9.99 which did not solve my problem). I also have chatted and so far that has not worked either. I have downloaded the upgrade for the firmware. No matter what I do, the blu-ray cannot find the access point of the router.
Can you help?

thank you for your responsse Wizzard, but there are things I need to change that I don't know how to do. I have no idea how to assign static ip, subnet and gateway on the blu-ray. When I went to the link , it was actually for adifferent router than mine. I have a WRT160N/v3. I also did not know what to put in the protocol. and if I should just put the number in the beg. and ending. I also don't think I have an ethernet adapter. Maybe you could give me more information. Thanks in advance.

System cannot find file specified during install officejet 6500

I started my HP solution center software today to do some scanning over my wireless connection. I received a message box indicating I needed to reinstall the original software that came with my OfficeJet 6500 wireless 709n printer. when I started the software it recieved the message 'system cannot find file specified'. No information was given on what file it was looking for. I then downloaded the software from the HP site (OJ_AIO_6500_E709_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe) and encountered the same result. I hookup up my printer via USB and it appeared to go looking for driver updates. After that the HP solution center software would run but would only connect to my printer if the USB was connected. Still cannot run the printer software set.
I recently upgraded my windows 8 64-bit to window 8.1. It worked before that. This is not the only software that was broken by the process. Any help on how I can re-establish my wireless connection to my Officejet 6500 would be appreciated.
I also tried the Microsoft 'Fixit' solutions but they are not available for windows 8.1 :-)...

Version XI Cannot Find File USING VBA Shell Command

I open Adobe Reader from an Access VBA Shell command. After upgrading to Version 11, the Reader opens but I get the Error Message. "Cannot Find File".
This was on a Windows 7 Machine running MS Access 2012. I had an older PX with XP and Access 2003 on it, so I ran the program on it with Version 10 and the Reader opened with the
file passed to it using the Shell command. I updated Adobe Reader to XI on the XP machine and I got the "Cannot Find File" message. I went back to the Widows 7 machine anbd removed Version 11 and reinstalled Version 10 and the Shell command worked like it did before. Does anyone know if there is a work a round for the Version 11 error as I have many many customers that may update to Version 11 and my program is not going to work for this particular function.
Appreciate any help, thanks.

Q1 Answer
I use Shell because it has worked for years and it is a build in VBA function and ShellExecute uses Windows API, and I took the easy route.
As I'm sure you know Shell is for exe, com or bat files and ShellExecute enables
the opening of files such as txt, pdf... etc by file association.
Q2 Answer
The exact string is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" C:\FoxFales Data\FoxFalesStaff\Alerts\GenericSupplies.pdf
The path for AcroRd32.exe is retreived by reading the registry entry "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\"
Q3 Answer
If you paste the above command in the CMD shell you get the same result. Reader Opens, but opens with
the message "Cannot Find File".
Newest Results
In the forum I found threads that indicated that if in Security (Enhanced) you had "Enable Protected Mode At Startup"
enabled there were some unpleasant results.
So I turned it off and lo and behold Reader XI with the Shell commandfrom VBA works!
But as a matter of interest I turned it back on and tried the API call ShellExecute, as you so politely suggested,
and...IT WORKED with "Enable Protected mode At Startup" enabled.
I don't understand why Reader XI lets ShellExecute work and not Shell, but I'm happy I have a solution
Thanks for you help

Web.show_document cannot display file with Chinese char in IIS 6

Dear all,
There is a problem that web.show_document cannot display file with Chinese char in IIS 6, but works fine in IIS 5.
Is it a server problem or is there any setting in server? Do you know how to solve it?
Big Thanks
JY

Hi,
As Francois mentioned, this issue has nothing to do with forms / web.show_document. web.show_document, just opens the URL specified as parameter. So, if you run the URL (that you've passed as argument for web.show_document), directly in the browser, you would be getting the same issue.
So, as you said, if it works fine in IIS 5 and does not in IIS 6, it would be an issue with the IIS and not forms. You might want to check out the IIS 6 release notes / documentation for any known issues / raise an issue in that.

Spotlight does not find files with "_" (underscores), but only for certain file types

Hey Folks,
this is strange, maybe someone has an idea.
I already searched the internet for a while, nothing found so far.
I have a file "calc_mean.m" on my desktop.
When I type "calc" in spotlight, it shows the file.
But when I type "calc_" it suddenly does not show the file anymore. Nor does find the file, when I enter "calc_mean.m" in spotlight.
When I enter "calc mean.m" in spotlight, it finds it (using space instead of the underscore).
Now comes the real surprise:
When I rename the file to "calc_mean.txt", spotlight suddenly DOES find the file when entering "calc_mean.txt".
I recreated this "feature" with other files, copying and renaming ".txt" files to ".m" files, and if there's a underscore in the file, spotlight wont find it.
Playing around a bit more, it seems spotlight does find files with underscore when they are documents, at least it works for the following extensions:
.pdf
.doc
.txt
.xls
But these extensions for example do not work:
.mp3
.m
.k
.a
.ka
(and other random endings I tried).
I am pretty confused. Sure it's no big deal learning to search for files that include underscores in their name using space instead. But I'm still quite puzzled. Any idea?

All of those have meaning in various database search syntax (not sure if it matters).
_ usually means any character.
% usually means any run of characters.
- is often used to negate what comes next, i.e. "don't include results that have the following text."
I don't see any problem on my Mac, though.
I also don't have any problem finding file names with those accented characters using Spotlight. I would suggest reindexing Spotlight, but if cmd-f finds them, I'm not sure that would help.
