ITunes is missing songs even though the file path hasn't changed.

My iTunes library is housed on a separate internal hard drive from my osx disk. I have iTunes set up so that it manages my library and copies files to its folder on my extra drive. Recently, and with increasing frequency, iTunes is displaying songs as missing (grey exclamation point) even though the files are still present in their respective folders. This has happened to about 700 songs already, so it's not exactly feasible for me to go through and re-select the path for each one. Is there a quick solution to this? Many thanks!

Same thing, and it's driving me crazy too! It only happens to my Podcast files though. I haven't done anything special to the file (other than maybe listent to it), but then sometimes the file will get the exclamation point. Then when I click on CTRL-I / Get Info, and it let's me find the file. When I look in the folders, I notice that iTunes has RENAMED the file! What's up?!

I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. The upload stalls and fails. Address:

I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size in the Feed Editor shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. I am using Safari on Intel Mac 10.5.8. at Kennesaw State University. Any help would be appreciated.

This is the second day. I tried using a new Apple feed to test. Still not working. I uploaded a 50MB mp3 file. The first time the upload failed. The second time the file showed that it was uploading a 2 GB file. It has been about 20 minutes now and shows "3.5GB of 2.0GB 178% Completed". Now it has started uploading all over again - it is now showing 399.4MB or 2.0 GB - 19% Completed. I dont know if this will keep looping - but I am going to Cancel.
Please let me know what other information do you need from me. Definitely need some help with this!

HT1725 My purchases are only playing halfway through the song then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully". Does this mean an incomplete download? How do I rectify this? Please help

My purchases are only playing halfway through the songs then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully" Does this mean I have to repurchase and download again?

Delete and redownload.
You do not pay for redownloads. Follow the direction:

Can I get back the original filename even though the file is missing

I imported 900 RAW images from my desktop into Lightroom, edited them, renamed the filename, and exported them into JPGs. Since I no longer needed the RAW images on my desktop I moved them over to an external hard drive. So now the images are still visible in my Lightroom catalog, but there is no photo to back it up since I moved the original files to the external hard drive. After realizing that I exported the images at 150 dpi instead of 300 dpi I need to re-export the images from lightroon at the proper resolution. But since I moved the originals to the external hard drive there is no photo to back it up in lightroom anymore. So I went to locate the files by clicking on the "?" but since I renamed the file when I exported them, the original filename on the external hard drive is now different from the filename in the catalog. Is the only solution to locate the file one by one? Is there any way I can do them all at once even though the original filename is different from the filename in my lightoom catalog? The original filename is still listed in the metadata, but since the originals are missing it can't change it back. Please help!

It sounds as though you moved the files and renamed them outside of Lightroom. Not a good idea. I'm not really going to answer the question about retrieving the files. But if your only concern is the resolution then I wouldn't concern myself about changing the images. That resolution setting really has no impact or effect of any kind on your images. It doesn't change the size, or the quality at all. If you have an image that is 2000x3000 pixels (for instance) it will be that same size regardless of what the resolution setting is. The only real value that setting has is to give another user an indication of the intent for the image. When you look at an image in Photoshop and look at the image size feature, Photoshop will tell you the dimensions of the image at that resolution, but that doesn't change anything about the image.

Why are photoshop icons showing up as color bars in AE6 even though the files are not missing?

I have imported the file numerous times, they actually show up in After Effects. If I render it renders fine, however the icons next to the photoshop files show up as color bars.
Can anyone hep me figure this out?

Thanks for replying... Yes everything works fine but the project panel icons and layer icons appear as color bars. Weird! I'm using CS6 and I'm on a MAC PRO OS X 10.8.5. I attached a screen grab

Unable to see the downloaded files in the downloaded folder even though the files are present.

I am able to download the files and the downloaded files are shown in the downloads section too. However, when I go to the "open containing folder" it is not present there:( I cant seem to find the files at all.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they may have been removed by Anti-virus or cleanup software.

DLL file in Windows\system32 folder cannot be found by regsvr32 even though the file is visible in Windows Explorer

I am trying to register a DLL on a Windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit computer (all SPs installed).
The file resides in c:\windows\system32.
The DLL file is clearly visible in Windows Explorer. The file is not hidden. It is not marked Read-Only. All users can access it.
When I run regsvr32 it responds that the file cannot be found. It says to check the path.
The same thing happens when I run from the command prompt if c:\windows\system32.
When I try to open using Dependency Walker, it also cannot find the file.
Does anybody know what's happening here? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could run SFC command to see if you fix any corrupted system file.
If this cannot help, try to replace this file with a known good copy.

Hi there,
Are you able to open the file in Acrobat? If so, try saving it as a .PDF then see if you can open the PDFs in Illustrator.
Otherwise, the files might be corrupted.

I have recently aquired my husbands iphone4 but when i send a mail it still has his name on it not mine even though the hotmail account etc is changed

I have just aquired my husbands iphone 4 but when i send an email it still comes up with his name as the sender even though i have changed the hotmail id etc

I said that rather confusing.
He has a 25 dollar balance in credit due to a gift card we redeemed.
He purchased something in an app he got and it did not seem to deduct it from his
available credits.
basically i want to make sure the credits will be used before my card was ever charged for anything.
does the app store use available credits before resorting to the credit card on file?
thanks

Meredith199,
does your MacBook Pro have an Eject key (⏏) in the top-right corner of the keyboard? If so, does pressing Control-⏏ show a restart/sleep/shutdown dialog box?
If you press Shift-⌘Q, does your MacBook Pro recognize that as an attempt to log out?

After my hard drive was replaced I installed Mountain Lion. I was unable to use time machine or migration assistant to access files on my external Omega hard drive even though the files are still there? Is there another way?

My hard drive on my iMac was unrepairable so Apple installed a new one for me. When I reconnected my external Iomega USB hard drive I could "see" the original backup figures and the rows of "windows" and back to the original red rows of dates in time machine, but I could only access the recent installation date of my new OS X Mountain Lion. Migration assistant would not work as well only accessing the recent backups. Is there a way to "unlock" the past data so I can retrieve my documents and photos without resorting to purchasing "rescue" software??

I can't see backups for a disk/partition that's no longer connected

I am not getting sound notifications when I receive text messages anymore. A few will come through, but I have the volume on high and I will look down and see I have missed messages even though the phone is in my pocket or purse. Is this common?

Lately I have noticed that I am not receiving sound alerts when I receive an imessage or text. This is intermittent, as it does not occur ALL the time, just frequently enough to be annoying. Anyone else having this problem? I just updated the IOS, but my friend says hers does the same, before and after the updat.

Can you track a form if the file name has been changed after distribution?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro -- I then used the distribute feature and sent the form to myself using the internal server. After testing the form, and making sure all was good, I copied the attachment from the email I received when I distributed the form to myself, and sent it to my boss (via outlook). He then changed the file name, and sent the form out to our members. Our members are completing this newly-changed document instead of the original form. They are able to "Submit The Form", and it still looks as though its coming back to me via the dialogue box. However, I have no received any responses in my original document's tracking. When I tried submitting this new form myself to see what happened, I just received an message that says "Your response is being queued for submission", but it never tells you whether the form was actually submitted or not. Is there any way that you can track this form even though the file name has been changed? And if people are submitting their forms to me, where are they going?
Please help!
thanks,
desiree

I understand that you don't want to redo all the linking with the markers. You can try following (make a copy of your project first to be safe) :
- close your project and quit DVDSP
- move your old asset, and replace it with the new one
- reopen your project
A warning message should tell you that this asset has changed, but your marker will remain at old position. If the asset length are not the same, old length information will be used by DVDSP. To correct this, delete the asset from the timeline, and drop it back to the timeline.
Now you just have to move the marker to the right position.
