Help needed to locate missing files

I'm still a Mac newbie so i'm really having trouble here.
The capacity of my Mac is 27.94GB and i'm only left with with 749.8MB. The problem is i dunno where the used 27.2GB of stuff are????
I've checked all the files like Applications, Library, users... each of them have barely over 1GB. So i'm really puzzled where the other GB are???? Where else can they be? I've cleared my Trashbin but that didn't help.
Can anyone help?? I'm desperate...i'm running out of space!!

From the Finder (click on the icon with the face in the dock), do a find. File->Find ...
Use the drop down lists to select Size -> Greater Than -> xxx Mb
Stick in a number say 100 Mb in the right hand box. Then do the find.
It should list the large files on your system. This may or may not help. If the files are hidden/private OS ones they won't get listed.
Another thing to try is an application called Onyx (or something similar).
It helps clean up files on your system that might not be needed anymore - e.g. cache files, log files etc.. It would be worth running all the options on the 'Automate' tab/screen.
You can get it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/

HT201272 I have an album that says I've downloaded, but some of the songs say I need to locate the file. How can I get the rest of my album downloaded?

I have a few songs on multiple albums that I have paid for. I tried to listen to a few songs. An exclamation point said I need to locate the files. I went in to ITunes and it said the items have been downloaded to my computer. I can't find them. Can anyone help? Thanks!

You can try manually downloading them:
1. Open iTunes and click on "Store"
2. Click "Purchased" in the top-right
3. Find the Album you need to compete and click the cloud next to it.

Lightroom suggestion (locate missing files)

In the dialog for locate missing file, if the file name is different, would be nice on occasion to be able to select 'use original name' I am sure meta data can be compared to see if they are, if fact, the same image with just a different name
And how did I come about this thinking? Well, the HD of all my RAW images got totaly corrupted - to the point I have a recovery place recover the data from the HD. Did retrieve all 1900 RAW files - only no file structure, and the naming went like FIL1.NEF through FIL1900.NEF
Needless to say, this is a major undertaking renaming back to the orginal. The saved meta data is a big help to use the Create Date and time to ensure it is the right image from the catalog, but sure would be nice if all I had to do was point to that image and tell LR to use the orginal file name, not the new file name....

If and what steps to take depends on what happened to the images. LR doesn’t move or delete images without your telling it to.
If the images are on an external drive, perhaps the drive letter changes based on what else is also plugged into your computer.
Were the missing images moved somewhere else? You can use your OS file-searching capabilities to look for them.
Were the missing images deleted? Are they in the trash or recycle-bin?
Do you work with more than one LR catalog? Where you might have done a Move Import in one catalog of the same images that were already in another catalog and so that second import will move the images so that the LR catalog you did the first import to won’t be able to find them.

Locating missing files in itunes library

Hello everyone,
I have an iTunes library with 177 days worth of music, and every now and then I try to play a track and a "!" appears, and I realize that some how I accidentally removed something from my iTunes Music folder at some point in the past.. So I go into time machine and find those files and recover them.
However, when I did this last, it alerted me that it relinked 2 of 160 missing files-- But I have no idea what the other 160 files are.
I did some googling, and found someone that gave a tip to find all the missing files in a library:
- create a playlist
- drag your entire library to the playlist
- create a smart playlist, and add everything that is not in the other playlist to it (this should give you a playlist of all missing files)
... I tried this approach, and dragging 177 days worth of music (over 11,000 tracks), I got the spinning color wheel.. Left the computer for a few hours thinking it just needed to process those... And I get "iTunes unexpectedly quit". I tried it a 2nd time, and got the same results.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do in this case?
Is 177 days of music / 11,000 files just an amount that is too much for iTunes to handle, or is there something else wrong here?
Thank you.
-patrick

maybe this helps:
iTunes Track CPR v1.3
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."
additionally, this application may be useful:
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

Help needed on .dcref extension files.

Hi All,
I am working on CRM 5.O and successfully imported the components.I find lot of files with .dcref extensions. Can some one tell me wat these files are which files we need to consider for enhancements. I am not able to locate a file with .jsp extensions..
Any inputs on this will be very helpful.
If you have any material regarding enhancements, please mail to [email protected]
Thanks,
Udaya.

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Help needed on Transforming input File to EDI Format

I have an input flat file in one location. Using BizTalk, i need to pick that file from that Recieve location, transform it to EDI format and send it to Destination location.
Now, when I place input file in the "Recieve location", it is being processed and it is erased from recieve location. But I am not able to see the output in the Destination location.
And when i query it in BizTalk Administration console, the state is "Completed" without any errors.
Any guidance/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have just collated everything and have put it in my words below..Please
let me know your valuable inputs as I am struck in this point from more than a week.
I need to fetch an input flat file (.txt format) from the "Receive location" and I am supposed to transform that to an EDI message X12 format and send it to Destination folder.
I have set up the receive port and send port configurations in the Admin Console, have created the Trading Partners, agreement and other settings.
The problem I am facing : Now, when I place input file in the "Receive location", it is being processed and I am able to pick up the file from the input folder
but I am not able to figure out why the file is not being processed and sent to the destination folder.. (If I query for All In Progress instances, suspended instances or Running instances : I am not getting any results and the below grid is always empty).
And when i query it in Biz-talk Administration console for Tracked instances, the Receive pipeline component's state is "Completed" without any errors.
And I am not using any Orchestration in between..
Thank you all in advance....

LOCATING MISSING FILES IN LR

When I click on the icon for a missing file, there is the option to click on "find nearby missing files." LR finds the file and a bar shows the "search for missing files has started. Howver it invariably gets stuck and never finds any other files. Each time, it starts but never finishes. If I relocate 10 files, I have 10 searches underway and nothing ever found. How do I solcve this problem?

It's not a problem moving the images in the OS. I do it all the time, as it's a lot faster than doing it from within LR.
Instead of doing individual images, right click on the folder instead. And use the top-most folder (farthest left) and it will do all the others below it, if you kept them in the same structure.
For example, if you have:
C:/My Pictures
     Holiday
     Whatever
         some other day
Then right clicking on My Picutres and browsing to the new location will "find" all of the folders below it.
Clicking on individual images will cause other problems, as when you find the folder, it will warn you about already having images in there.
I personally have my images down one level, instead of at the top (for example, C:), because then I can move the entire structure with one move and reconnect with one right-click.
Cheers!

Help needed on properties of files attached to the transaction-crmd_order

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to hide the file attached to the transaction(crmd_order).
For this, I got the information about the file from cl_crm_documents=> get_info method and the FLAG VARIABLE used for hiding th file is KW_SYSTEM_FLAGS.
But if I try to set this flag by passing this as a import paramter(as properties) to cl_crm_documents=> change_properties method, I am getting 'SKWF_IO E003KW_SYSTEM_FLAGS' error.I am getting this error in cl_skwf_io_util=>check_properties_authority method. It says that the hidden property is a restricted one and we are not supposed to change it.
But I am in need of changing this. Can anyone help me out in this?
Regards

What player are you referring to? Is it Creative PlayCenter 2? Playcenter doesn't save any special extension to the files. It uses all the standard extension. eg. jpg,txt.... Not sure what you are trying to say.

Photoshop Elements

See:
Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
It's important to find what you did wrong to avoid the same problem to appear again.
The catalog still stores the location of the files as they were before something outside of the organizer changed the real location of files, or renamed them or deleted them.
You can find that recorded location in the information panel of the organizer, and the real one using your OS : explorer or finder.

Help needed to located my brand new ipad!

Hello guys,
My brand new ipad has been stolen by some baggage guy in the airport.
The device has never got the chance to be power on by me, so all the stuff "Find me" has never been activated.
The only information that I have is its serial number.
Is there any choice or way could help me to located the device? What should I do?
Many thanks for your reply!

Thanks
Yes i've called the airport, they just noted this point, but for the moment, they can do nothing about.
I haven't yet called the police side, but not for the sure that I would help either, as ipad mini will not that valuable comparing to other cases, low attention will be paid on my case, but anyway, I'll call them.
For for the forum reader, a remind, don't EVER EVER leave valuable stuffs in your checked baggage when you take plane, always take it in your cabin baggage.

Help needed sorting a text file.

I'm trying to simply open a file, which is a text file of a list of names, then sort that file, the print the sorted file. The problem is that I keep getting this error
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException: No line found
     at java.util.Scanner.nextLine(Unknown Source)
     at pro.NamesFile.main(NamesFile.java:36)
Which is at this line[b] words= new String(inputFile.nextLine());
It's not reading any lines from the file and I can't figure out why.
Here's the rest of my code:
public class NamesFile {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
          Scanner inputFile;
        inputFile = new Scanner(new File("C:/Documents and Settings/Cougar/Desktop/New Folder (2)/names.txt"));
        String name;
        inputFile.next();
        String[] words = new String[100];
        while (inputFile.hasNext()) {
             name = inputFile.nextLine();
             for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
                  words[i] = new String(inputFile.nextLine());
        Sort2.insertionSort(words);
             for (int index=0; index < words.length; index++)
                System.out.print(words[index].toString()+"\t");
}Here the sort algoritm I'm using, it the insertion sort one.
public static void selectionSort (String[] list)
           int min;
           String temp;
           for (int index = 0; index < list.length-1; index++)
              min = index;
              for (int scan = index+1; scan < list.length; scan++)
                 if (list[scan].compareTo(list[min]) < 0)
                    min = scan;
              // Swap the values
              temp = list[min];
              list[min] = list[index];
              list[index] = temp;
        public static void insertionSort (String[] list)
           for (int index = 1; index < list.length; index++)
                String key = list[index];
              int position = index;
              // Shift larger values to the right
              while (position > 0 && key.compareTo(list[position-1]) < 0)
                 list[position] = list[position-1];
                 position--;
              list[position] = key;
        }I'm still relativly new at this, so forgive me if there's something obvious that I'm missing.And thanks for any help anybody can give me.

You haven't gotten to running the sort yet, so I didn't even check that the sort routine is correct.
Your problem is:
You say inputFile.hasNext() once, and then you read 1 line from it. Then, in your 'for' loop, you read 100 lines from it. So, you always attempt to read 101 lines, even if the file is shorter than that.
You should call "hasNext" before each call to "readLine". Also, you probably want a "while" loop, instead of a "for" loop, since you don't know how many words you will have. I assume you are expecting 100 or less (based on your array size).
Two more notes:
1. Don't do "new String(inputFile.readLine())". All you need is:
words= inputFile.nextLine();
2. You don't need toString here:
System.out.print(words[index].toString()+"\t");words[index] is already a String, and concatenating the "\t" to words[index] would create a String, anyway, no matter what type words[index] was. And, calling:
System.out.print(words[index]);would also automatically call "toString", even if words[index] were not a String.
You could avoid creation of new Strings by:
System.out.print(words[index]);
System.out.print("\t");Just make sure you add braces around them, if both lines are the body of a 'for' loop. You should also make the second 'for' loop into a 'while' loop, using a counter that you update as you read the lines--so that you don't process the "null" elements of the array. You also need to account for null elements in your sort method.

Help needed in creating pdf file

Hi all,
I keep coming back to this question again. I chose iText over jasper reports to generate PDF files for some good reasons. in my application I
1. accept file uploaded by the user
2. process the data inside files and separate them into good data & bad data
3. put these good and bad data in a vector
4. pass it to a bean to write PDF files
5. files are stored in a application ROOT path under different folders based each data input (ex: each employer folder)
6. I delete these files from the application path
I go back to the data submit screen and start submitting for another employer. While processing for the next employer the system process data correctly and writes the PDF files into the appropriate folder, but t when the browser link that has the PDF get clicked, instead of current PDF, we still get the previous employer documents.
what to do?
please please somebody help me
hepzi

hey folks
I have found out that every time the PDF file is downloaded, in the firefox download manager, that opens up to show the status of the downloaded PDF, when I click on the "Remove" button once I open the much needed PDF, the PDF is not carried onto the next upload for some reason... but I still need to investigate in Netscape and see how it works..
thanks guys
I will come back to update you once I test it in netscape navigator
