Startup hang looking for missing file

DVD SP 4.2
Hangs looking for a file it can't find.
'stop" won't stop it.
reinstalled and it does the same.
i guess its a file from a previous job that's been deleted.
how to fix?

Are you clicking on a prior project to open DVD SP (it sounds like it)
If so, just try launching the application directly.
If that does not help, delete DVD SP preferences and/or repair permissions and try again. (Though you mentioned you reinstalled the app coulkd be something else then - did you get all updates?)
repairing permissions -> go to Utilities folder open up disk utilty and then the first Tab is first aid. Highlight the disk then select repair disk permissions.
As to preferences delete the file User->Library-Preferences->com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist and also com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist if needed
As an aside on prior projects you should be able to skip past the missing files, though if you have many files or bought in reference movies from Final Cut, it can take a long time

  • Looking for a file manager with copy queue

    Hey,
    I'm looking for a file manager with a file-copy-queue feature.
    It is useful when browsing mounted samba shares, and you find something you want to copy.
    You'll then start copying the files, and then spot another useful folder. You start copying that as well
    and suddenly you got 5 different file copies processing at the same time, which decreases the copy speed.
    I also miss the feature when transfering files from my external harddrives.
    If there is a lot of FM's with this feature, I prefer one without kde-dependencies, as I am using xfce.

    Ranguvar wrote:If MC really does have that as a feature, it's once again proved itself _the_ graphical (sorta) file manager.
    sorry for misinformed.
    mc has a background job option while copying, it is not exactly a queue like functionality, but simulating to be a queue, and you can stop/resume a background job.

  • 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":

  • Looking for Windows files on a Mac

    On my Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 when starting a existing project I get a message about a file the program is not able to load.
    So it asks me to point the location. The question is as follows: Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
    I'm using a Mac and when I search for the file it's not on my computer.
    It's looking for a file in a curtain folder.
    Could you give an advise what to do?

    Hello A.T. Romano,
    I’m using Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    Version 12.1 (20140225.12.1.620828)
    I get the message when opening an already made project in which I added a Title.
    In the ones without a title I don’t get the message.
    So it is something connected to the use of titles.
    I used RedBulbs as a title.
    When I click ‚Skip’ or Offline my project opens correctly and I don’t miss any media. Even the title part is OK.
    I hope this describes the problem enough and hopefully you can give me some advise.
    Best regards,
    Rob de Ridder

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer?
    Do you ever get this
    Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
    when you open a new project or do you get this message only when you go to open an existing project?
    If only for existing projects, then please tell us if this existing project was created with title templates and/or Instant Movie themes.
    If so please detail.
    If you click "Skip" to the "Where is the file....?" message, does your project open without problem? And if so, do you see any missing media
    displays in the workspace? And if so where?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat looking for joboptions file in a user folder that doesnt exist

    I have a user that has Acrobat Pro XI installed on her machine. When she tries to create a pdf using Adobe PDF as the printer option, it produces an error that it cannot file the PDF_1.joboptions file. The error message indicates that it is looking for that file, in a User appdata folder, for a user account that doesn't exist, nor can it be made to exist on the machine. I have already attempted a repair of the installation... and I also have completely uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it is still looking in the same location. Is there a registry key that can be altered for this, or a setting in Distiller or elsewhere to fix where Adobe PDF looks for this joboptions file? Thank you,
    Matthew M

    Hi Matthew ,
    Please refer to the following link and see if it fixes the issue.

  • Looking for a file manager with these features:

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking for a file manager that has the following features (in that order of importance):
      - Designed with keyboard users in mind (but full mouse support also)
      - Easily configurable
      - Supports copying, moving, deleting and the usual operations
      - Good search functionnality
      - Can see a lot of files at once, does not take up too much room on screen
      - Can tie certain file types to applications (ex. open .avi files with video player)
      - Nice to look at
      - [opt.] Can preview pictures (thumbnails or a preview pane)
    Does such a file manager exist? What would you reccomend?
    By the way, my current window manager is pekwm.
    I am new to linux desktops, so this may change.

    Hah, I was going to say exactly that... "keyboard users in mind? my file manager has some awesome hotkeys - like 'l' then 's' to list files, and 'c' then 'p' to copy, 'm' then 'v' to move, it goes on and on, and it has millions of 'plugins'!"
    Yeah. I fell in love with linux because of the command line. But it's not always the best tool.
    One advantage of graphical file managers is that they offer 'automatic ls': you always see the contents of your directory.
    Also, yesterday I needed to move most files in one directory to another. They had varied names. This would have taken a long time with the command-line: I could have named the files one by one, or moved all of them and then name one by one the files that I want moved back. With a graphical file manager, I can select all files and then 'unselect' the ones I don't want to move with just a few clicks. It's faster and simpler. (Or maybe there's some really fancy CLI tool that I don't know about)
    When choosing a tool for a job, first I look for the most ethical one, then the most practical one. In most cases I would say I prefer the command line, but sometimes a graphical interface is better. Computers are really good at both, so using both methods is the way I go.
    I absolutely love your humour though, slackhack and phrakture. Keep it up!

  • Organizer. not able to turn off "automatic search for missing files"

    Organizer starts searching for missing files. files that i have deleted, and the programme just keep on forever searching for those already deleted files. When i try to turn off that function, the organizer just stops. Running the program on Imac 2010.

    That's the thing with the Elements Organizer - once you start managing your media in it you must also use it for all subsequent maintenance so that it retains integrity.
    To try and resolve the Find> all Missing Files crash problem go to File> Manage Catalogs and Repair your current catalog. Follow that with an Optimize. See if you can now find them without the crash.
    If Find> All Missing Files is still causing a crash, you could try File> Reconnect> All Missing Files. As that searches your entire hard disk for one image at a time, and will take a very long time if you did a lot of deletions with your EasyDuplicateFinder program, wait for it to finish examining your catalog then cancel the attempt to find each image. Now in your organizer each of the missing files thumbnails will have a question mark at top left - you can then delete these from the catalog. After you've done quite a few retry Find> All Missing Files again to see if it will run without crashing.

  • Searching for missing files and damaged photo icon

    I am trying to view photos that I have viewed in this program numerous times before but now when I click on the photos, I get a message that says "searching for missing files". Sometimes, the photo appears with a red icon below it that resembles a wripped photo. Does this mean my photo has been damaged by the program?

    I too have been told to find them on my hard drive but still nothing comes up, I can find the picture name and then do a search, but nothing. I've tried several times and it just keeps saying seach for missing files not found. I can see my collection of pictures, but there blury and then when I try to click on them, it says searching for missing file and it gives me the file name, and then I've tried to go under my search and put that file name in and nothing comes up, I also got NO help from adobe and they want us to buy more products??? They could have warned us somehow on what happens if you move them or try and put them on disc, and that's what happen, I put some on disk or at least thought I did and then realized I didn't want to do that, so I hit the UNDUE and I guess it was so late or something, cuz I can see the pictues, just can't open them. I'm wandering if I need to have a expert see if he can get them off of Adobe, I really want the pictues I have graduation pictures on there and need them very much. Would love to have help from anybody. Please.
    Thank you

  • Search for missing file - can't remove it

    I keep getting "Searcing for missing file"  I cancel it and shut the system down and it comes back every time.  When I go into the pictures there is a little red broken box at the bottom of them.  How do I stop this?

    When you 'add' your pictures to Starter Edition, the program notes where the file is, and creates a reference thumbnail representation of the picture for you, so that you can work with a large collection of files in different places on your hard drive. If you move or delete any of your pictures, that will result in outdated references to your files in Starter Edition. That is what is meant by 'missing file'; the file has been moved, deleted, or renamed.
    The way to make it stop is to delete the picture of your file (with the red icon) in Starter Edition, because it is no longer able to locate the original moved/deleted/renamed file.
    The other way to fix it is to move the file back to wherever the program 'thinks' the original file is.

  • Looking for saved files in Adobe

    Please help me to open Adobe on a specific directory on my computer when looking for saved files?

    Actually, it's not written into the GUI for the app. That's just where Windows looks (to oversimplify a lot) if you don't tell it where to look. It's intended to be the default for all apps.

    Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.

    Luis
    Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
    Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
    His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
    I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
    THE GOODREADER OPTION
    1.  CREATE the document you want to send.
    2.  SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
    3.  Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
    4.  COMPOSE your Reply.
    5.  DOUBLE TAP the message.
    6.  TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
    7.  OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
    8.  At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
    9.  TAP the Export button.
    10.  TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
    11.  TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
    12.  ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
    13.  SEND your email Reply.
    The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
    1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
    2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
    3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
    4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
    5 Select e-mail file
    6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
    7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
    8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
    Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

  • I am looking for a File Manager

    I'm looking for a file manager that will let me see what files I have on my BB itself and on the card.  I would also like to be able to move files from the BB memory to the card in some cases.  Does anyone know if there is such a utility available in the BB world?
    Along with that, I am wondering if I can run applications from the card as well as the BB memory?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there!
    Concerning file management, I find that using the USB tether method is the simplest as it lets you treat your Device and Media Card memory as USB drive letters in Windows:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Desktop-Software/HOWTO-use-your-blackberry-as-a-US...
    There also is a native file manager app:
    Homescreen > Media > BBKey > Explore
    I recall some posts here somewhere about add-ons...you might dig into AppWorld to see if there is anything you might like.
    Concerning your second question about running apps from the Media Card -- no. BB's restrict apps to being installed into the protected and fixed AppMemory location. There are some tricky add-ons that will swap apps in and out of AppMemory when you are not using them, but to run, an app must be installed into AppMemory. There is no option.
    Hope that helps!
