Unable to Trash certain files

I'm unable to get rid of some files. When I drag them to the "Trash" I get the message "You cannot move "name of file" to the "Trash" because it cannot be found."
When I search for the file by name in Sherlock, Sherlock finds the name but says it cannot be found, and that it may have been deleted.
Maybe it's not important but I wish I could get rid of the folder full of file names which can't be found or don't exist. When I try to put the entire folder in the Trash and attempt to Empty Trash, I get the message "Preparing to empty the Trash..." and it ticks away counting something for as much as 45 minutes before I wind up hitting the stop button.
The files appear to be attachments that came in with various emails are in an Attachments Folder which is in a Eudora Folder. I no longer use Eudora and have removed it from my computer.
Thanks

Try booting from your system install CD & then empty Trash.

Unable to access certain files in Finder without extra steps.

I am new to Mac and I have a very basic issue. I cannot access certain files in my library just by opening Finder and going to the location. To expose the files, I must go to my desktop, and click "Go" on the Finder bar at the top left. After the list has dropped down, I must press and hold the "Option" key to expose the "Library" option. If I then click the location, my complete library opens with the files I cannot find while executing in the other fashion. This makes things a pain when doing tasks such as posting content to the internet as all the files are not present. I must then take the long way to the file, drag it to a place as my desktop, and open it from there to upload to the internet. Sorry for the essay, wondering if there is anyway to get all the files in my library and its contents shown in Finder without taking "the long way."

Unable to export certain files from a collection

Hi,
I made a collection from certain picks from 3 other collections. As the 3 other collections were a mixed bag of images I wanted to put together for one show.
- the collection that I made, consisting of images from the other collections, will not allow me to export all of the files into a folder on my desktop as the error reads that the original file cannot be found and gives a previous location for it, which happens to be on my desktop.
I really need to get this sorted out, can anyone offer up any help! =)
Thanks,
Matt

thanks for help'n Jay.
So, on my last attempt to export I was told that 29 images of the 204 I have in this particular collection could not be exported. I have them on screen as I was asked if I wanted to "show in library". now that I seem to have them. how to relocate them back to wherever they need to be for me to export them.
I have folder named desktop and it doesnt contain any of the related photos....

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

Unable to add certain files to iTunes Library or iPod

For some reason, whenever I try to add some files with an .avi format to my iTunes Library or iPod just won't let me. I've tried the add file/folder option and it simply doesn't work. It does absolutely nothing. It won't let me drag/drop to the Library, only iPod. But when I try drag/dropping it to the iPod (as I've succesfully been able to do in the past with other files)I get an:
"[File Name].avi" was not coppied to the iPod "[iPod Name]" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
Thanks in advance for the help.

sorry all. i restarted iTunes after i downloaded and installed QT and everything started working. total retardedness on my end

I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks

i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.

You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
File menu > Print
Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that.

Unable to import certain image files in CS5

I currently am using CS5, and I am unable to import certain image files such as .png and.tga. When I try to import them I get an error message saying something along the lines of file type not supported. Any help?

Make sure that the images are not CMYK color space.
Already tried that, thanks
One thing to take note of is everytime I start AE I get a pop up box saying "You have at least one output module template that refers to a missing plug-in. Please check your Output Module Template". That plug-in would be the TIIFF alpha sequence output. Perhaps that has something to do with it..

Unable to stop Quicktime from playing certain file types

Recently, Quicktime has begun to insist on playing certain file types accessed via Web Browser. I work at a radio station and we have to be able to import certain audio from the web into our own player/editing software.
I have it set in the preferences that Quicktime not play any audio files.
We have had to restrict the installation of Quicktime on our systems.
Anyone know when Quicktime will allow us to really set preferences again?

Each user account can set their own preferences for QuickTime browser playback.
QuickTime Control Panel/Advanced/MIME Settings allow you to change those that will open via the QT browser plug-in.
If your page code is "sloppy" and you directly link to the audio files then you may get a wide vary of responses from the viewing browser. Some users will download the file while others may get a QuickTime playback in a "new" window.
Post a link to your page and we can view the page source code and help you with a solution.

ZAV 10 - Unable to open parameter file error

When trying to launch a ZAV 10 app, C-Cure Administration Console, users are getting an error "**Unable to open parameter file cc800cl.pf, errno 2. (1247)". This only appears to be happening on Win7. This did work when first created, but after a few weeks the error has started to pop-up.

If this was working and is not now, and you are certain nothing has changed on the client systems (or at least nothing that could interfere here), then this might be an issue with the license used when building the application. What is the expiry date of your license and was it applied prior to building this exe?
If this isn't expiring please open an SR for this issue, if you can. This is the information the support team will require:
- Copies of any warnings or errors around the time the issue occurs (or a copy of the application and system event logs, in .evtx format)
- A copy of the exe you are using
- If you can build the exe again as a diagnostic-mode executable and provide the diagnostics generated when attempting to run, that can be very helpful
- It may also be required that you send installation media for the application and your build process, so the team can attempt to reproduce the issue in-house
- You will also typically be asked for the .xappl file and associated Files folder, if reproducing in-house is required. This will become absolutely necessary if a ticket needs to be filed with Spoon, so sending it ahead of time is a good idea

"Unable to Open Project File" - error

Does anyone know how to resolve an "Unable to Open Project File" - error. I accidentally shut down my computer wrong, although Final Cut wasn't open.

Welcome to the forums.
The project file might have gotten corrupted. Look for the AUTOSAVE VAULT (typically in the DOCUMENTS>FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS folder) and open the most recent version. Copy it to your main project folder if it works.
If not, then try trashing your prefs with FCP Rescue.

Unable to open project file

Hello!
I'm in desperate need of a miracle here. I've already read over other solutions to this problem, but perhaps someone can come up with something I haven't. I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3, and I finished a project last month that took a lot of editing work. After the project finished, I cleaned up my folders as usual, copying over all the media and the FCP project file over to my network external hard drive. I then made the horrific mistake of deleting my autosave files. Little did I know I'd want to access the project later, and instead of opening and having to reconnect my media, it just comes up with the error of "unable to open project file".
I've tried copying the project file I saved in November back to my local computer and opening it. I tried dismounting the network external hard drive and opening my local project file. I tried adding a .fcp to the end of the file's name. And I downloaded Pro Maintenance Tools in a hope that it could fix the corrupted file, it said it was fixed, but I still can't seem to open it. All my other FCP files are opening just fine.
I'm also interested if anyone knows whether my deleting everything FCP created except for the project file might be why it crashed?
Thank you in advance to anyone who even reads this hoping they can help.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. Perhaps someone else with greater tech skills will chime in on this and be able to suggest a solution. Deleting or changing the location of the files you mentioned earlier in the thread can certainly complicate and add time to a new edit but should not have caused the problem you've encountered in getting the project file to open.
Good luck.

Unable to open project file - from one 6.0.2 to another 6.0.3.

Hi
We're at a time-critical stage of finishing our movie, and we need to get the color-corrected sequence from the post-house to our studio so we can make some picture changes and get it back to them. They can open the project file just fine (it was created in 6.0.2, but they since updated their system to 6.0.3), and we have just updated to 6.0.3 also. Quicktime is 7.4.5 (which matches their version). However, they've FTP'd it to us, and we cannot open it here. FCP gives the error "Unable to open project file". It's not the "older version" message which I've seen before, it just ... fails to open it. Almost as if the file were corrupt. However, the post house can re-download the file from FTP and open it there, so this confuses me. I've also tried the file on a FCP 6.0 system (which I can't update because it's an Avid system locked to a certain version of Quicktime) and the same error message.
Would anyone be willing to test the file and see if they can, at least, open it?
Many thanks.
Matt

Have them zip the file... Project files via email often don't open if they aren't zipped..

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Unable to delete the file. (Some times deletes and sometime fails to delet)

Please help me in deleting the file from the temporary location .
Below is my code

               factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
                        // Create a new file upload handler
               upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
               // Parse the request
                  List /* FileItem */ items = upload.parseRequest(request);

item.write(uploadedFile); //// I am Writing the file in this location appened with the session Id because there might //be a possibility of having same name of file.
catch(......)
finally
     uploadedFile.delete();
     uploadedFile = null;
     upload = null;
}I am unable to delete the file from the temporary location
some times it is deleting and some times it is not deleting.. I have also tried ...deleteOnExit();

Make sure you've got no other processes holding onto it (Windows Explorer, for instance) and that you've closed any streams involved with the file. If that fails, try calling System.gc() just before deleting the file. This is a workaround for a bug in certain JVMs on Windows machines
