Installed new update iTunes Saturday - My file directory could not be found, so reset the directory path, 'it' asked me if I would like 'it' to re organise filing, I selected yes - Many tunes have been duplicated, some have disappeared. Any help?

Hi,
Installed a new update iTunes Saturday - My file directory could not be found, so I reset the directory path, and 'it' asked me if I would like 'it' to re organise my filing, foolishly (as a beginner, without checking) I selected yes - Many tunes have been duplicated, some have disappeared? Trawled through lots of misleading help files, mailed friends, tried many back routes into Apple web sites and they all wasted my time. Can anyone help?
I have discovered since then, that this resorce has been down over the weekend, which probably explains why I have had so many contradictory responses, so apologies if you all know what the prolem is.
My question is, my TIME MACHINE (which has not been used yet) was tried but looked nothing like that of the U Tube demo, so I am assuming that it needs setting up, however, it has been saving, I just do not know how to recover the data. Can anyone help?
Regads,
Cyfrommayo

(If you have a Time Machine backup, go to your User folder/Music/iTunes and select iTunes. Enter Time Machine and go to a backup of iTunes before the above happened. Then select 'Restore' on the bottom right.)
Eric,
Many thanks for your help.
Apologies for not being as skilled as you. I am unable to see what you are saying, can I ask, should I be in TIME MACHINE when I go to User folder/Music?iTunes or iTunes or Finder?

Hi,
>>We couldn't get data from the Data Model
Have you tried to use the hotfix to resolve this issue? You can download it and fix your application.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2837666
And Excel will crash if you have recently applied updates for the PowerPivot add-in, but have not also updated Excel.
To resolve this issue, you should apply this update together with the update from KB

Could not find agent library on the library path or in the local directory

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a jvmti agent that write any information in a mysql db. I've written a simple agent that work correctly and now I'll try to insert the mysqlpp library in my agent:
1) I've added #include <mysql++.h>
2) and I've added mysqlpp::Connection      conn(false); (global variable)
I've modify my Makefile and the compiler and linker work correctly but when I test the agent the VM says "Could not find agent library on the library path or in the local directory"

Did you make sure your library (call it x) starts is named libx.so (atleast, on linux, possibly libx.dll on windows, not sure)? It will not load otherwise, and you must specify -agentlib:x (rather than saying libx.so). Yes, it is "funny" how it gives the same uninformative error message for a wide variety of errors. It will also give you this same error message if there are still unresolved symbols upon loading your library (which would be my second guess).

When I try to sync my ipod, itunes tells me certain songs could not be found

I have just tried to sync my ipod on itunes, and a screen comes up to tell me that over 100 songs from my library cannot be synced as they could not be found.......
They all appear in my music library, and in their relevant playlists, only now they all have an exclamation mark just to the left of the title.
Some I have ripped from cd's and some are ones I have purchased thru the itunes store, and it is these I'm most annoyed about, as I paid to have them and now cannot play them.
What can I do to get them to be able to play again?
Neither the ipod or the laptop are new to me, I have been using both successfully for a number of years with no problems.
I have tried de-authorising and then authorising my laptop, and have also restored factory setting on my ipod, but nothing seems to work.......
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks

That exclamation point means the song files cannot be found, for some reason. They are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. They were either moved or deleted. Sometime, a data corruption issue on your hard drive can make files inaccessible. You may want to check that possibility, because other files may be affected.
Since you can still see the name, artist, and album of the missing songs in iTunes, you may want to try using Windows to do a general search of your hard drive volume, searching on the name of one of the songs (or artist or album name). If you are using the default settings for iTunes, iTunes uses the name of song, album, and artist to name the file and directory path of the song file's storage location. If they got moved for some reason, you may find the path to all of the missing songs by finding one song. You can then move them back to the location where iTunes expects to find them.
some are ones I have purchased thru the itunes store, and it is these I'm most annoyed about, as I paid to have them and now cannot play them.
Don't be mad about those songs... Any previous song purchase from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at any time at no cost. Go to the main iTunes Store screen. On the right side, find Purchased under QUICK LINKS. On the Purchased screen, click on Music and find those missing songs. There is a Not on This Computer filter there that would be useful in this case. Next to the song name, you should see a button with a cloud symbol. Click it to download that song.

AIR 2.0 SDK installed but Flash Builder still giving error "NetworkInterface could not be found."

Hi there,
I am trying to retrieve the users MAC address to implement an authorization process on a AIR application. I have read that this is possible with the latest version of the AIR SDK (2.0).
I am developing in Flash Builder and have discovered that it does not ship with the latest AIR SDK. Therefore I have tried two seperate solutions:
1) Following these instructions for overlaying the latest AIR SDK onto the current Flex SDK.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/495/cpsid_49532.html
2) Downloading the latest Flex SDK (4.1) and using that.
In both of these cases Flash Builder then recognises the NetworkInterface and NetworkInfo classes implying that the overlaying of the AIR SDK has been successfully. However when I then run the app the debugger throws an error on the following line:
LINE:
var results:Vector.<NetworkInterface> = NetworkInfo.networkInfo.findInterfaces();
Note: I have imported both classes as well.
ERROR:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.net::NetworkInterface could not be found.
Whilst it throws the above error it also traces the following text to the console:

Be sure to check the namespace in your application.xml descriptor file. It needs to support "http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0" in order to access AIR 2 APIs at runtime.
Hope that helps,

Do not make your Mac bite off more than it can chew: do one update at a time. Some general guidelines on updating:
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.

To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Photoshop CC: Save for Web- The file or directory could not be found.

I've seen similar questions but have not found a solution that works.
So far, these are the steps I have taken with a MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.2, 16G, SSD:
1. Uninstall and re-installed both Photoshop CC and inDesign CC. (Figured there were shared libraries)
2. Opened PScc with default preferences by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons
3. Uninstalled a couple of plugins that I thought might have been the culprit (Enigma64, GuideGuide)
None of these have worked and I don't know what other steps I can take to fix this problem.
Any ideas????

I will GUESS that is a permissions problem... over on the Windows side, those kinds of errors are often fixed by right clicking the program icon and selecting RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR from the pop up option list... I have no idea how permissions are handled on a Mac

You should just copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

"The file or directory could not be found" video problem

I have embedded a YouTube link into one of my pages and it plays fine when I preview and publish it, however, when it is exported as HTML, I get a grey box with the message:
Here is the link to the published page: http://clickevents.businesscatalyst.com/about-carmichael.html
This is the HTML for the video link within the page:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/D1y_lp2a1lE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

I ended up finding someone else who was having this problem and it turns out that you just need to add "http:" to beginning of the source url:

Why won't Itunes get my album artwork? It just says could not be found when all the info is the same as Itunes.

Out of no where suddenly Itunes refuses to get my album artwork. The info is exactly the same as Itunes but it refuses to get any artwork. I tried signing in and out, then back in. Nothing seems to work! Why won't it get my album artwork?

.wav tracks don't have a tag, so you can't save artwork, or indeed other metadata to them. Use AIFF or Apple Lossless if you want the highest quality, but 256k or 320k mp3 may be just as good depending on the equipment you have and your own hearing.
