Is there a way to search for photographs that are missing?

I have discovered that some shots that I thought had been imported from iphoto are in fact missing (when I go to open them there is a badge with the yield sign and an exclamation point in it)
I don't think this is the end of the world as I have the original files in various places and can import them (I guess)
but is there a way to search to find all the shots that are missing?
right now I'm having to scroll through the whole database in the list format and I have a lot of shots. can't seem to figure out how to do a search for missing shots…

1. Create a smart album and in the drop down in the top right corner select file status
2. Check mark the file status box and select 'Offline'
Now you should have all your 'Offline' (Yellow Exclamation and/or Red Slash) files.
To reconnect..
1. Select the missing files.
2. Go to File and scroll to Manage Referenced Files
The dialog box will have one of the photos selected
3. Select the drive and folder that contains the referenced file and select it
4. Click 'Reconnect All'
This might not reconnect all of them, but the dialog box will still be open and you can reconnect the ones left.

  • Is there a way to search for shots that iphoto is having a problem with?

    I have upgraded to ilife 08 and now have more than a few shots in a library of 10,000 shots that are missing their links
    have rebuilt all thumbnails and connections and whatnot but still the files that are messed up have stayed messed up
    I think I have backed up files elsewhere so I can reimport as need be (I think).
    so I would like to do a search (somehow) for the files that have problems
    and I would like to replace them/reimport backed up files
    is either/both possible?
    M

    The problem is, Im afraid. that your database has been corrupted. I don't know of anyway to track down the photos that have been dropped from the db in the process, and re-importing them - if you could - would be to import to an unstable and damaged entity.
    Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars, modified versions etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Events to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

    Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test
    #See:
    #*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • Is there a way to search for and install all uninstalled fonts? I'm getting bored of opening all the files up.

    I've got a file of about 100 typefaces, which is 1000s of fonts. I want to install them all but I dont want to have to open each file and install them all individually (or in small groups).
    So is there a way to search for and install ALL uninstalled fonts in one hit?
    Cheers.

    The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.

  • Is there a way to search for audiobooks or books in different languages?

    Hi well my question is very simple. My native language is Spanish but I am a German citizen and I would like to read one or the other book in Spanish or listen to audiobooks in Spanish. But if I want to search for these products in my German iTunes-Store I will only get the newest German books or German audiobooks.Is there a way to search for an audio book or a book in Spanish or other languages? Thank you very much!!!

    Exactly that -- the procedure is described in the online Help: InDesign Help | Text variables
    Now every time you insert the variable named "# of potatoes", you'll see the text "50" appear (with a minimal rectangular marker to indicate it's a variable), and when you want another number of potatoes, all you have to do is adjust the text in the Variables dialog.

  • Is there a way to search for movies on iTunes that have subtitles?

    Is there a way to search for movies on iTunes that have subtitles?
    I know if you look at any individual movie, it will say CC and below that, it will tell you if closed captioning is available in English or another language. I'm just wondering if there is some way to search for all the movies that have this available since many of them don't.

  • Is there any way to search for bad blocks in my Macintoshi HD without formating it? I'm experiencing too much I/O problems...

    Is there any way to search for bad blocks in my Macintoshi HD without formating it? I'm experiencing too much I/O problems...

    Check the drive health with the free demo of SMART Utility.

    Reformatting and zeroing out might keep a drive going a bit longer, but once bad blocks become noticeable, it's not a drive you should trust any longer.

  • I paid for songs that are missing from my list where are they?

    i paid for songs that are missing from my list where are they?

    Correct.
    Audiobooks have never been available for redownlaod and have never been listed among the content that can be redownloaded.
    As always, it is your responsibility to back up your content.

  • Is there a way to search for skipped songs in my iTunes library?

    I'd like to know whether there's a quicker way to find songs that are being skipped in my iTunes library, than simply manually checking each one.  I've been rearranging and deleting music files in Windows Explorer recently, so I know that there is a chance that I have demolished the link iTunes had to some of the files, but there's no way I can remember what all the modified albums are.  I know how to reestablish the links when I do find a song that is being skipped, but I'd love to go through the whole library and be able to find them all at once.
    The last time I did this, manually - and it seemed to take hours - I did find quite a lot of songs that were being skipped, and was able to reestablish the links or in some cases just delete the song from iTunes since i hadn't wanted it anyway.  But even then it was a little hard, since after manually checking in the quickest way I could - going through the song list and briefly playing each one for a second or fraction of a second - there was no way of sorting the songs by whether they were skipped or not.  I just had to be very careful as I scrolled, to catch each one that had the symbol indicating non-playability.
    All that to say - is there some better, automatic way of searching for non-playable, skipped songs, and is there some way of sorting them out from the rest so one can address them, and not miss any?

    Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
    Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

  • Premiere Pro CC's sequence lost. Is there a way to "search" for it from outside the project?

    I seem to have lost a sequence created in Premiere Pro CC. I can't find it anywhere inside the Project bin.
    We have so many same-name, older projects (between Auto-Save, different drives and so on) that looking inside each of them would take forever.
    But we do know the name of the sequence. I am wondering  if there is a way to "search" for a sequence name from outside the project?
    Thanks

    there is a way to "search" for a sequence name outside of the project,
    but it would be a pointless waste of time.
    sequences are only saved within the project file itself!!
    We have so many same-name, older projects (between Auto-Save, different drives and so on) that looking inside each of them would take forever.
    better get at it then!

  • Is there a way to search for damaged/corrupt files in itunes?

    Hi all,
    I have several itunes-purchased files that became damaged when a hard drive of mine went on the fritz a few months ago.  I managed to get most of my files transferred to a new hard drive, but I keep running across songs that are corrupt.  The way I know they are corrupt is they just won't play, even though the file shows up in my library no problem.
    My library is several thousand songs.  Is there any way to test for corrupt songs without going song-by-song manually?

    Sorry, but I don't know what it is you are trying to accomplish and how a spreadsheet program would be related to an iTunes issue. Can you please explain in more detail what it is you're trying to do? If your command of the English language is a barrier for you, try posting in your native language and someone who is fluent in that language may be able to help.
    Regards.

    What Anjaneai also means to say is that Adobe has neglected to provide a Usage button for variables as they have for Advanced Actions and Library objects so that you can see exactly where they are used.  This is a BIG problem when you have a lot of variables and AAs to search through.
