IPhoto says 'Files Cannot Be Found' when trying to import from SD Card

Hello all,
I have this stupid little problem with my iPhoto.
Every time I plug my SD card to import pictures I took from trips or whatnot to iPhoto, it says 'Files Cannot Be Found' but when all said and done, the files are actually there. I don't know what the problem is, but it's very annoying and I don't know how to fix it.
I highly doubt it's my camera setting and want to know if there's anything I can do within iPhoto to change that stupid little error message I get every time I try to import my photos.
For example, when I try to import like 40 pictures, at least 7-8 would alert me saying 'File Cannot Be Found'. I hit okay button and goes to next file... I have no idea what it is and it really kills me. Can anyone help?

This can occasionally happen, if iTunes cannot find your iTunes library. Do you keep your iTunes library on an external drive? Then check, if this drive is properly mounted. Does it appear on your desktop?
Sometimes simply rebooting will resolve problems with a drive that is not accessible. Also, check the settings for the  location of your iTunes Media folder in the iTunes Preferences > Advanced panel:

  • File cannot be found when trying to open emailed fdf file

    Hello all. I'm starting to lose my mind here so I thought I'd ask the community for any help. I'm using Acrobat Pro X. I have a PDF that a new hire is supposed to fill out. All the fields work and save just fine. There's 2 buttons at the end of the document set to email certain fields to a specific email address. When either button is clicked, an .fdf file is attached to a new outlook message. The problem is when the recipient tries to open the attachment, Adobe Acrobat X Pro (and Reader XI) comes up with the following message:
    "The file you are attempting to open contains comments or form data that are supposed to be placed . This document cannot be found. It may have been moved, or deleted. Would you like to browse to attempt to locate this document?"
    The original file is located on a mapped network drive (the same drive letter on both computers). The same message comes up even on the computer the email was sent from. I saved the document with "Enable Additional Features" enabled. I'm getting close to wits end. I need to be able to send the email outside the network but don't want to include the entire PDF as it has confidential information. Any suggestions?

    So the recipients will need an original copy of the PDF in order to import the fdf? I know they'll get confused with that. Is there a way to just email the fields in a text file?

  • Getting message "file cannot be found" when trying to play music in iTunes

    When trying to play ANY music in my iTunes Library I get the message that the file containing the music cannot be found. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes - is this the problem or is it something else?? I thought that at least the songs purchased from the iTunes Store would play but they do not. I receive the same message which asks if I want to attempt to locate the file. I click yes and that takes me to the iTunes Library which gets me nowhere. Anyone have any ideas????? I have used iTunes for years with no problems before this.

    Hi Patricia,
    First, try Repairing Disk Permissions. Quit all open applications. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Only takes a few minutes to run, then Quit Disk Utility. Reboot your PBook and launch iTunes. See if you can play a track...
    If not... with iTunes open, select iTunes Store, then from the Menu Bar, click Store/Authorize Computer and see if that works. If that doesn't work ...
    Quit iTunes. Try dragging the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the HD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes and see if you can play tracks. If you can, drag that file back to the Preferences folder. If not, drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It could be your iTunes preferences file is corrupted and needs replacing. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.
    Hope something helps...

    I've purchased three new CD's, when I try to import them into my iTunes using the standard promt of AAC Encoder I get the following error message

  • Reader 8.1.2 says file cannot be found

    I have Reader 8.1.2 running on 4 servers. I am having trouble opening a pdf print window on just one server.  They all have the same versions etc.  I looked through IE add ons and plug ins to find some difference, nothing.  I am able to save the file then open it up in reader, but it will not open it inthe browser, says file cannot be found? Same IE version also 7?

    I suggest that you download 8.1.3 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/, then search for updates to 8.1.4 and 8.1.5; most likely your problem will be solved after this.

    > Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • Some music and apps that I have downloaded from i-tunes "cannot be found" when trying to download them onto my ipod.  Why is this happening when they are available on my computer?

    In iTunes, select the audio book and righ click and select Get Info. Go to the options tab and click on Media kind and change it to Audiobook. It will then appear  on the iPod under Audio books. On the iPod that is Muisc app>More>Audobooks.

  • "application cannot be found" when trying to open certain files

      Recently i upgraded my computer to Mavericks recently and I've been having a problem opening certain files.  In one day I upgraded to Mavericks and I also updated my Adobe programs to the Creative Cloud.  Ever since then I cannot open any of my Adobe files.  They are all saved as under the CS4 legacy format.  I uninstalled CS4 after installing the Creative Cloud.  Every time I try to open one of these files previously created in CS4, whether it is a photoshop ot illustrator file, I get the error message "The application cannot be found".  I also can see no preview or thumbnails for the files.  I talked to Adobe Support and we went through a process of deleting my preferences and it didn't work.  I restarted my machine and it worked.  It worked for a day and now after starting up my machine today it is saying the same thing again.  After a while it just out of nowhere started working again.  I'll be clear and say that I was logged into my adobe account and there were no network interuptions. 
    By the way, the new versions (Creative Cloud) of the adobe programs all work just fine and If I save something then it works fine.  It is only when trying to read a file from a previous format. 

    If you are attempting to start Adobe Creative Cloud by opening a file created by its previous version, open the Adobe Creative Cloud app first, then choose Open from its File menu and select the old file. The files you are attempting to open were associated with the version you used to create them, which is now gone.
    After opening them, save them again. From then on, opening them will probably open Adobe CC directly.

  • Laptop no longer recognizing songs in external hard drive.  Only ones in internal hd.  Says file cannot be found and exclamation pt. to left of song.

    My laptop no longer recognizes my songs in the external hard drive.  It still plays the ones stored on my internal hd fine.  It's just started doing this.
    The song's names still appear in the music library, but when I try to play the song, anexclamation pt. comes up to the left of the title, and it says the file cannot be located.
    OS is Windows 7 Home Premium
    Thanks.

    Thank you Tal, sounds like a nice resolution of the username difference problem, i will try this as soon as i get home, but are you sure this will not duplicate all the exhisting songs in my library? Most of my songs were renamed/rated and have a "number of times played" number, which does matter in most of my smart-playlists...
    Thank you in advance.
    When I tried my suggestion, I had around 3 three separate folders on my computer which had music in them. The music in these folders was dragged and dropped into iTunes when I was adding it onto my iPhone.
    I had foolishly moved some of the music from the other folders and into the music/iTunes folder iTunes then showed the exclamation mark beside these tracks and showed the not found or words to that affect window/popup. I then placed the folders (that contain the music) back to their location which there were at when I originally dragged and dropped them into iTunes, after this the exclamation mark and the not found window naturally did not appear anymore.
    I then done the following:
    iTunes 9:
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    A message will pop up.
    Place a check next to "Consolidate files" and click OK.
    After I had done this, all the folders that contained the music that were in the 3 separate folders, were then placed in one folder, which in my case was,
    C:\Users\MY USERNAME\Music\iTunes\My iPhone\iTunes Media\Music
    Sometimes (depending on the device) it can be (your username)/music/iTunes/iTunes music

    Trying to restart Apple TV by using usb and laptop with windows vista via Itunes.
    Get error message that "device cannot be found" after clicking the button "restart" as instructed.  You can see the apple tv icon when it is connected but get the error message when you click the button to restore.

  • File Error - Unknown file when trying to import from HDD camera

    I recently purchased a Panasonic SDR-H80 and am trying to get my widescreen footage into FCP. I converted the .MOD files to .m4v files in Handbrake, and they play and look fine in the Finder. However, when I try to move them into FCP, I get a dialog that says "File Error - Unknown file." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Can anybody help?

    I converted the .MOD files to .m4v files in Handbrake .... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here
    What you're doing wrong is using Handbrake and trying to use .m4v files in FCP. Neither is the correct process in preparing for editing.
    Try using MPEG Streamclip and a format that actually works natively in FCP. .m4v is a final delivery format- not for editing. A search on this forum would have revealed that to you in a matter of seconds: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c206&search=Go&q=handbrake

  • I cannot Get Media after seeing thumbnails when trying to import from iPhone. Why?

    I connect my iPhone to my PC and open Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer. I click Import and select my iPhone (using current iOS version). It searches and finds all photos. I click get media and I get the following error: "Elements cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged, and try again."
    I click Ok and the import fails.
    In the attached screen shot you can see the import process about to begin, but the error box pop up over top.
    Please help so I can import my iPhone pics.
    Guy

    I think I may haev solved the problem. I imported in chunks and found that one of the files was throwing off the import. Then the problem resolved and the import worked.
    I still get duplicates when importing from the iPhone. Is this still a bug?
    I solve that by searching for *.jpg and *.mov with file names "-1" (excluding "edited") and then delete them. That works, but the bug is still a problem.
