Missing files used to create dvd

i recently used imovie and garageband to create a video and music track that i then sent to idvd and burned to a disc. i projected the burned disc while my daughter sang the song live (it came out great by the way - this is my daughter). i was not able to capture the live vocal so afterwards we went back into garageband recorded the vocal and i burned another dvd so she could take it and show her friends. now i cant find what happened to the idvd project or the files in imovie or garageband used to create the dvd. i have three teenage kids and myself using one laptop so my guess is they got deleted somewhere down the line. can i take the burnd disc she has and "restore" the files back to idvd and the other programs to work with them somemore. she has done some other stuff and i would like to just be able to make another dvd of all her projects.

You could try using a free utility called Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php)
Handbrake will read your DVD and output an MP4 video file. There are several options of output file size - choose one that keeps the original DVD 720 x 480 resolution. This file can be merged with the vocal in GarageBand and sent to iDVD.
There is going to be some loss of quality but that is better than nothing.

What can i do ?

do you happen to know if there is a way to do this with a flash drive to avoid buying a new external dvd burner for the newer macks a lot of us have?

Missing files using the same library on two different macs and other minor problems

Hi everybody,
I'm working on a long documentary and I'm new to FCPX (coming from Avid NC and Edius)...I have and external HD where I stored all the media I'm working with (about 1/2T - 1000 clips)...The library (about 100gb) is stored on the internal drive of my iMac and into the iCloud.
Yesterday, I received my new MacBook and today I tried to work on it. I followed this steps: I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with, I put it on the same folder (movies) it was stored on my iMac and I connected my external HD with all the media...Results? All the clips where gone and the red missing file warning was all over the place.
FIRST QUESTION: How can I work on both computer overcoming this missing files problem? I know I should have put the library on the same external drive but It was a move aiming to
SUB QUESTION 1:
I went back to my iMac and everything worked fine except for a warning about one of my events (the exclamation point) as you can see from this pic:
I tried to relink the file...but no files to be linked popped up in the relink file window....HOW CAN I KNOW what's wrong in that event in order to fix it?
SUB QUESTION 2:
I checked the Library info and - as you can see in the pic below - there are 43mb of media in my internal HD...is this maybe the problem preventing me from working on different macs? I tried to consolidate everything to the external HD but still the 43mb thing persist in being on the internal HD. How can I find where exactly it is located? How can I move it to the external HD given that the consolidate option isn't working?
Thank you in advance for your help
Nico

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

Searching for missing files, using PSE6

After I have transfered a batch of photos using the -file -get photos -From files and folders, the thumbnails appear in " Organizer" but when I want to look at the photos in full screen they come up unclear and a dialogue box comes up ," searching for missing files" I then click on "browse" and the folder from which i have transfersd the photos, in "My Pictures" is not shown in the list. I have done this with an other folder of photos and it is also not shown in the list, as if they have dissapeared. The folders are still in " My Pictures"
I am totally frustrated with trying to get past first base with this program I have spent many hours trying to find a solution

It sounds like you may be encountered one of the drive-handling bugs in PSE. To diagnose that, download and run the free utility "psedbtool":

HELP, Acrobat 9 missing files, won't create new PDF & won't repair

PLEASE HELP! I tried to create a PDF in Acrobat 9 from a Word 2003 document & it won't let me. I've done this many times before & now all of a sudden it won't work. The import starts & then I get a message that it is missing "pdfmaker files". I tried to repair Acrobat using the "Repair Acrobat Installation" button, but nothing happened. I tried to use my disk but get a message that the "Patch Package could not be opened". I'm using Windows XP. Any help is appreciated.

When ever you are having such problems, the first thing to try is the basic print process. The second is to look for the PDF toolbar in the applications of OFFICE that you are using (or other applications). If they do not exist, it is typically that the macros for PDF Maker are not enabled (Abhigyan has addressed this) or PDF Maker does not work with that application. The latter is sometimes either that there is no capability for the specific application or there is a compatibility issue between AA and the appl (like AA prior to 10 and OFFICE 2010).

Missing files from Finder-burnt DVD

On my new 24" iMac, I created a burn folder (containing around 2 gig, 1000 files, in various subfolders) and burnt it to a DVD. Finder says the DVD wrote and verified successfully, but when look around the DVD in the Finder, whole folders show up as having no files! I can reverify that the source burn folder has the files and I can view them, etc. Also reburned to a new DVD but the same problem still occurs.
Any ideas on what's happening or anyone seen the same problem?

If, instead of drag/dropping the folders to the Burn Folder (which creates an alias to the original, but the original gets burned to the DVD), try copying the folders to the burn folder by holding down the option key when you drag it to the folder. Does that work?
How about selecting the group of folders you want to burn to DVD and select File Menu->Burn XXX to Disc. Does that work?
Make sure while its burning that you aren't deleting/moving files around in the folders you are trying to burn. Just start the burn process and go get a beer/soda/cappuccino and come back when the burn has finished.

IWork's missing files

iworks 08, did work. Now it says "....missing files, use the iWork installer..." Internal disc drive doesn't work, so thought I would just buy 09 from itunes. itunes says no, because iwork is already installed on this computer. So I bought an external disc drive, but it's not compatable with Mac Book Pro of that year. Any ideas? Thanks.

Having a previous version of iWork (no 's') installed won't interfere with installing a newer version. The only problem you may encounter is getting a message that you need a serial number. Getting the request for a serial number means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. The easiest way to fix the problem is to use Yvan Koenig's AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip. Download uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
I haven't tried one of the Apple USB optical disk drives & have no idea why it wouldn't work on an older Mac, but that is Apple. I only have one Mac, a 2011 Mac mini that doesn't have an optical drive. I have 2 or 3 external FireWire optical drives that work on all of my Macs.

Missing file icuuc42.dll

Photoshopt cc starts with error. missing file icuuc42.dll. Can't see any way to repair missing file using Creative Cloud?
This appeared just after the last update.

Reset the preferences first. Start PS and immediately hold down alt/ctrl/shift (option/cmd/shift mac). If fast enough you will get a reset window.

Re-install issue: "missing files" ?

My MacBook was getting slow, so I decided to try a clean re-install after backing everything up to an external drive. After I reinstalled OS X Tiger, I reloaded my apps and libraries of preferences and all from the external drive. When I tried to launch Keynote, I got a message saying, "Files that iWork needs are missing. To restore the missing files, use the iWork installer to reinstall iWork." So I tried that; I trashed the apps, deleted the iWork preferences (.plists), and re-installed from the disc, then ran Software Update until it said I was up to date. Now I'm getting the same error message. Any idea how I figure out what files are missing?
Thanks -
Eric

I was installing Dreamweaver (Mac version) and received this message. The support people gave me the tech note that says to install the most recent ExtendScript update and if this doesn't fix the problem uninstall the entire CS3 Suite. Do either or both of these things if all you have is a day to blow off. AND after you reinstall the entire suite you still have to get all the updates - more time wasted. FYI, the first time I had this issue last year I did this and it didn't fix the problem because, at least then, the uninstaller didn't remove the old ExtendScript files.
This was the real fix. Search for ExtendScript on your system. Throw all the folders in the Trash. Restart your system and run the CS3 installer. If you watch the installer the first thing it does is repair the current installation. Because the ExtendScript folder is missing it replaces it and installs the components you want. Fix time - 2 minutes.

Missing File while creating a HDD Recovery CD

Hi,
At first my English is not the best.
And now my problem:
When I try to create a new HDD Recovery CD an error occurs telling me there is a File missing
This is the Error message:
The following file could not be opened,
F:\08011XSP5.swm
(Errorcode 020123-F1-00000000)
I just translated the error message so maybe there are some mistakes in it.
I got a Satellite A300-1QD. Got it on 20th of March.
I dont know what to do. Can someone help me?

>I dont know what to do. Can someone help me?
In my opinion you should do follow:
Make screenshots of all errors as evidence. Try to create recovery media using DVD-R media and use high quality media as TDK or Verbatim.
If the same happen again try to contact nearest authorized service provider and explain the situation. I hope you will get new original Toshiba recovery media.
The missing file is for me serious problem and if you cannot create recovery media I am afraid you cannot install Vista again using F6 option and HDD recovery procedure. If this is true you can stay without operating system. Please don't make any experiments with F6.
Contact ASP and try to get recovery media for free. Use screenshots as evidence.
By the way: I have Satellite A300 but I was lucky and recovery creation worked properly.

Can't create a file using fm 'File_Get_Name'

hi gurus,
Can you please help me with this issue. There's a program that have to create a file using the said fm. It was working before when it was set in OS NT. But when the settings and codes have been changed to UNIX, the program was able to generate the program. But the file doesn't exist. It seems it doesn't create a file in that server.
What else do I need to check?
Points will be rewarded. Thanks
Here's the code for your reference:
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
       EXPORTING
*         CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT
            logical_filename        = 'Z_SYSBRIDGE'
         OPERATING_SYSTEM        = SY-OPSYS
*         PARAMETER_1             = ' '
*         PARAMETER_2             = ' '
*         USE_PRESENTATION_SERVER = ' '
*         WITH_FILE_EXTENSION     = ' '
*         USE_BUFFER              = ' '
       IMPORTING
*         emergency_flag          =
*         file_format             =
            file_name               = ltfile-out_path
       EXCEPTIONS
            file_not_found          = 1
            OTHERS                  = 2.

Hi Maui,
Did you check SM69, where the code that ties to this FM creates a file after it execute your FM...
SM69 are os commands that does UNIX execution or other OS commands...
or maybe you have missed another FM like FM 'SXPG_OS_COMMAND' or of some sort.
Thanks

Projects created in IDVD 5 now complains of missing files in IDVD 6

Hi,
I just installed ILife 06. Now when i try to open dvd projects created in IDVD5 it now complains of missing files. It can no longer find photos for the slideshows i have created.

Have you run the new iPhoto? Did it "upgrade" your library when you opened it?
the iLife apps are linked, and it is best to open them in the following order:
iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD.
