(Almost) No actions in the Library?

I've had my iMac just about a year now, and as far as I can remember, the Automator library has always been mostly empty. When I installed Office 2008, the Office actions showed up under the Most Relevant folder, but the Library folder itself remains empty.
If, following info I found on another forum, I delete the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Automator.ActionCache.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Automator.plist files, the next time I load Automator whopping three actions will show up, properly categorized, in the library view. Once I close and re-open Automator, however, even those three actions are no longer listed.
I have 229 items in the ~/Library/Automator folder, which I assume are the default actions and workflows. Trying to re-import these actions within Automator has no apparent effect, although if I make a copy of that folder and try to import the copies, I do receive a message stating that the action was previously imported.
I'm kind of at a loss and would appreciate any recommendations. Automator's just not that useful with no actions available.
Thanks!

I wish it was as simple as my stupidity Unless I go through the steps of deleting the aforementioned plist files, there is nothing listed in the Library to expand, only the Office 2008 actions in the Most Relevant smart folder.
After seeing your response last night, I went through the additional steps of deleting everything except the Automator application file itself, including the /System/Library/Automator folder. No change in the results. After re-importing all those actions files, I still only see a few actions listed.
I've examined the files on my wife's MacBook, which does display the Library contents correctly, and just don't see anything that she has that I am missing. Clearly I'm overlooking something, but I don't know what.

    I am trying to download an epub book from the library, which I have been doing for almost a year. Now I am being asked for my adobe id, which I enter and I get an error message stating Adobe Activation Request Error:2004.. What's this ?

    I downloaded Blue Fire Reader and it requested an adobe id. I clicked on the link that was in the error message stated http//adeactivateadobe.com. Found out that if the date and time on my Ipad is wrong that it won't let me download a book. I was off 5 hours. I reset my clock settings and adobe id let me download a book from the library. I am back to using Overdrive and adobe again on my ipad.

  • Lost almost all my original photos in iPhoto. Have rebuilt the library to no avail.

    I tried to share my events and photos from iPhoto in Flickr by copying the events and then clicking share button in iPhoto and choosing Flickr. After some events appeared in Flickr in new albums, I realized I had lost some of the events and photos in iPhoto. If I open iPhoto I see my events some with cover photos and some just a black box with original title but empty. When I click the ones with cover photo, many have only a few photos (originally they had many more) and worse when I click the thumbnails a black box appears with a gray triangle and an exclamation mark in the middle. I have followed the rebuilding option from iPhoto First Aid but got no where. The library shows that I have the original number of photos I had (over 38,000) and also the same number of events and album titles BUT the original photos are mostly missing, only a few thousand are showing in the original size! Most of thumbnails seem to be there though many are also missing. I just cannot locate the originals. In the Masters file in iPhoto Library I don't see many original photos either. It just seems all my photos are deleted! The subfolders in Masters are 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 (I suppose for the 4 years I have used this Mac). The sub-subfolders under each year are named with numbers, like under 2011 there is only one called 11, under 2012 there is 05 and 07 sub-sub folders, under 2013, 04 and 08, and there are more under 2014 from 02 to 08. When I click any of these sub-sub folders I get additional folders with numbers but no order. If I click these folders I get a long number folder which is generally empty except for some where I can see original photos. I even tried to see if I could find a backup of iPhoto Library through Time Machine (I use CCC to backup my Mac) but the Library files I found were all from the time AFTER I had tried to share my photos in Flickr. So I did not find additional originals. It seems Flickr has just literally deleted most of my originals by taking them away from my hard disk!! Unfortunately they don't show up in Flickr either!
    What has happened to my original photos? Are they lost or deleted for ever? I tried to use recovery software to see on my hard disk whether there were any of my original photos but didn't see them. Can someone help/advise what to do? I use an I Mac with OSX 10.9.4?and iPhoto 9.5.1. Thank you.

    Thank you Terence. Let me explain better. I wanted to have a copy of  my photos in Flickr. So I tested with selecting one event in iPhoto and using the Share button to      copy the photos it contained in an Album in Flickr. That worked ok. Then I selected all my events and clicked Share in iPhoto to copy them to Flickr. That is where things got probably messed up. As there were many original photos, this took a long time over few days and I tried to stop it. Whatever went wrong there isn't clear to me. When I went back to iPhoto next I saw the situation described above. Most original disappeared. Unfortunately, the back up I found in my external disk is from the same time I seem to have lost the files. I have copied into iPhoto Lib but it has the same problem with most originals missing. The funny thing is that when I noticed my photos were missing, I checked the size iPhoto Lib and it was about 25GB. Then I went and checked the 7 backups of Pictures in Time Machine and noticed two were around 100GB from Two weeks earlier just about the time I did the Flickr transfer. So I selected one of those and opened iPhoto using that bigger file. But it was still too short of the original 38,000 photos only a few thousands.

  • Aperture keeps multiple duplicate images in the library file which do not show up in the app

    So, I recently had to merge two libraries which have some common images.  Although upon import Aperture asked me if I wanted to "Add or Merge" the libraries (I selected "merge", which wouldn't import duplicates), I wanted to confirm there were no duplicates in fact brought in.  I ran Duplicate Annihilator, which made a strange claim (about most photos, in fact): it showed a file as a duplicate which had no copies that I could find - searching for it by name revealed exactly one image.
    Curious, I searched inside the actual photo library.  Imagine my surprise when I found the following files
    ...Library/Masters/2007/Aug 10, 2007/IMG_0002/IMG_0002.JPG
    ...Library/Masters/2007/Aug 10, 2007/IMG_0002 (1)/IMG_0002.JPG
    ...Library/Masters/2007/Aug 10, 2007/IMG_0002/IMG_0002.JPG
    which are in fact *exactly* the same image.  Meanwhile, to reiterate, Aperture shows only ONE photo:
    IMG_0002.JPG
    Shocked, I investigated further.  In fact almost every single file which was in common between both libraries was "imported but not displayed", which explains why my two libraries of sizes 50GB + 50GB after merger = 100GB when, the two libraries in terms of images had 10k + 12k after merger = 14k images.
    Aperture imported all the photos into the new library.  But it just opted not to use half of them.
    So, now I have a bloated-by-2x library, and of course the frustration with Aperture having made such an insane, bone-headed move.  Those files are essentially dead weight which will follow the library around for all eternity.
    1) Why?
    2) How to fix?
    thanks!

    I would take  a step back here before going further.  William's suggestion might very well clean up the library but something obviously did not go right and to start mucking about in the library might make things worst.
    For starters I'm surprised to see the folder structure you showed in your first post. Aperture stores managed masters (originals) by import date and time. The structure (in all libraries I've ever seen) looks like:
    So something seems wrong with your master folder.
    Also the three folders you showed the first and third are identical ( the middle one has the (1) added to which is how the OS handles duplicates in a folder) so this shouldn't even be possible, those folders should not be there.
    I'm wondering if this is something left over from your using Duplicate Annihlator. Do you have a copy of the library before you ran the merge and used DA on it? Would be interested to see what the master folder looks like.
    Finally when you ran the merge which library did you tell Aperture to use as the master, the one that was used to resolve conflicts?
    Again William's suggestion might be all you need to do but it would be good to figure out want went wrong before proceeding.
    regards
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - A better first step might be to run the Aperture first aid tools, repairing and possibly rebuilding the library.

  • HT5772 How do you delete a movie from a local computer without deleting it from the library?  This should be such a simple procedure, but it's not. And while we're at it, why is iTunes NOT one of the dropdown product choices?

    All Apple support says about deleting movies from a computer is that you "should" be able to re-download it if you live in the right area.  Well, I'm in the U.S.A. and just deleted one of the movie extra features exactly as described in the support directions.  According to Apple I should be able to re-download this from the cloud at any time, but now I no longer even see the title listed.  That's why I wanted to test their support statements with a Movie Extra instedad of a real movie.  This should be the simplest of tasks to manage, yet they make it extremely difficult.  Why?  I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.  Makes sense, right?  But, I only have so much room on my laptop to store movies that I want to have with me on long trips, etc.  So if I only have the space to store 3 or 4 movies on the disk, shouldn't I have the ability to every once in a while delete one of those movies from my local computer ONLY, NOT my library, so that I can download a different movie?  Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.  So why does support say you can download again any time from the cloud then?  The worse part is, the calamity doesnt stop there.  Wait until you see the message you actually get once you say that yes, you do want to delete the movie (but only because you assume that you really can download it again sometime).  Here is the exact 2 messages you get from Apple, in the same popup box.
    Do you want to move the selected movie to the Recycle Bin, or keep it in the iTunes Media Folder?
    Only files in the iTunes Media Folder will be moved to the Recycle Bin.
    [Cancel]  [Move to the Recycle Bin]  [Keep File]
    Is that the most confusing popup or what?  Who develops this kind of software?!?!?! 
    I have tried it both ways and the only difference is that the file shows up in the Recycle Bin or doesn't.  But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.  Better hey, if I clicked "Keep File", where is it?  I can't see it anywhere, so where is it kept and what can I actually do with it?
    I have to be honest, I love my iPhone and some of the neat features, but when it comes to iTunes, I have never seen a more difficult piece of software to use in my life... and I'm a software developer.  Your Support documentation is actually more confusing than the softwae itself, it's almost as if you don't want people to use the software, just simply buy stuff and listen/watch it, but nothing else.  Seriously, this is the most cumbersome, unfriendly piece of software I've ever seen.  What does it say about Apple iTunes when everyone has to google solutions for how to do something rather than using Apple support documentation.
    Seriously disappointed in Apple iTunes and it's never really gotten any better over time.  This is one of the primary reasons I have never moved all of my recording studios and office operations over to an Apple platform.  Hardware and phones are awesome, but your software is either grossly incompetent or intentionally designed to make it all but impossible to use.  Either way, it's worthless to me. We're talking about software that does nothing else but manage media that I already own on multiple devices.  That should be one of the simplest things in the world to do.  Sad... very sad.
    While we're at it.... why isn't iTunes listed on the product dropdown below?  Maybe it's not even considered a product, which would explain it's goofiness I guess.

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

  • Is there a way to move songs from my iPod to the Library?

    I used my friends computer to download some music (I have dial-up) and now I want to copy some of the songs to the library. Is there a way I can do this?

    hey i wanted to do that too a while ago and this is what someone told me, hope it works for you. this is also the way to do it without downloading any thing.
    The manual way around this problem is to use the iPod in its alter ego - that of portable computer disk drive. Successfully tested under iTunes for Windows 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7; Windows XP Home.
    - Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET
    - open iTunes
    - open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running
    - connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing
    - open 'My Computer'
    - Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'
    - open iPod icon in My Computer
    - open iPod_Control folder
    - you should see a folder named Music
    - drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive
    - after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'
    - clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'
    - Close that explorer window
    - eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.
    - disconnect the iPod from the computer
    - go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window
    - File menu \ Add folder to Library \ find that Music folder copied over from the iPod
    Your iTunes library should be back in action! But wait - there's more!!
    Long time forum regular Otto42 has a java script/program that can also retrieve the playlists themselves from the iPod as well. Here are his instructions and a link to the most recent thread discussing this tricky process:
    This is really useful when you're pulling all the songs off of an iPod to put them back into iTunes, because you lost your library or anything along those lines. Come up with your own reason for using it.
    Download this program:
    http://otto.homedns.org:8888/iTunes/iPodGetXML.zip
    (If you can't download it, try again later. The connection goes up and down a lot.)
    Now, put the iPod into Disk Mode or otherwise access the iPod as a drive. Make sure you can see hidden files, then go to the drive and the iPod_Control folder and find the iTunesDB file. Copy it to your PC.
    Put the copied iTunesDB file in the same directory as this program, then run the program. It'll read the iTunesDB, get all the playlists, and create an XML file for each one. Now just import those XML files into iTunes to recreate the playlists.
    Notes:
    - The songs in playlist must already be in the iTunes library. If any one of them isn't there, iTunes throws up an error when you try to import the XML file.
    - The song names, artist names, and album names in the library all must be identical as to what the iPod has. If you just copied all the music off the iPod and into iTunes, this will be the case, so it's generally not a big deal. but you'll get an error if it can't find the song in the iTunes library, so it's something to keep in mind.
    - It probably won't be able to cope with unusual characters in song names. Sorry, not worth my time to fix. Dealing with unicode is way annoying.
    - Smart Playlists get changed into regular playlists. It's possible for me to add the smart playlist stuff in there, but it'll take a while to work it all out.

  • Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

    Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
    I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank.  There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos".  There are no video clips in the editing window.  I have "Show: All Clips" selected.  I've tried "group events by disk". 
    When I have a Project open, it plays just fine.  There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing".  Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window.  So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible.  This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library. 
    I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library.  I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
    I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem.  For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem.  This didn't work for me. 
    I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician). 
    HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL:  After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have.  I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive.  So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine.  I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!!  I can't believe this. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Have you ever heard of this happening?  Could it have to do with the files I'm importing??? 
    I apologize if my language is confusing.  Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person!  I hope I've provided all the information you need.
    Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date.  Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • Itunes is not picking up the library on my external hard drive although I have mapped the drive in preferences? Can anyone help please? Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have been rebuilding our iTunes library on a external hard drive, no problems to start with.  The pc crashed the other day and I lost some of the files.
    I can see the music files on the external hard drive, but I haven't been able to get iTunes to pick them up as being the library despite following the instructions to map the drive under 'preferences' in iTunes.  I have added new songs, these are being saved in the folder on the external hard drive and are showing in the library pane on iTunes, any suggestions how I can get the other files to show in the library? Would be very grateful for any help! Thank you.

    The fix for the exclamation marks is: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    The proper way to use backups is to restore the photos to their original location, but you probably don't want to do that as you said your old hard disk was almost full. Thus, the solution given above will solve the problem.

  • Unable to expand DG is Lync client - Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown.

    Hi,
    I have a user in our Hong Kong office that is unable to open a distribution group she has added to her Groups. She gets the error message "Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown. Contact your support team to investigate."
    I can add the group and expand it, so can some of her colleague, and some cannot. Her colleagues who can have the same client and global policy settings as she does. 
    I read in a similar thread that this could be resolved by confirming the server times on Lync, AD (domain controller checked and Exchange but they were all correct and in sync. 
    The global policy is set to 250 max contacts - but does a DL count as 1 contact, or does it count all the people within the DG? I am getting HK to confirm she does not have too many contacts but I dont think this is the issue. 
    Anyone else come across this issue?

  • Browsing the library in Finder. Is there a logical way to do it?

    Hi All,
    I am an iPhoto 7 user who has just upgraded to Aperture. A friend of mine has just brought my attention to the fact that the database format used by Aperture (and newer versions of iPhoto) is not easily browsable via Finder.
    What I mean by this is that in iPhoto 7, the photo library was a series of directories. Within the 'Originals' folder were folders for each year. Within each year were folder for each iPhoto event. The great thing about this is that you could browse through your photos using Finder or any other appropriate software with ease. I believe that iTunes still uses a similar hierarchy for storing music. It seemed to be a good balance between automated database management and human readable data. Now, Aperture does things differently. It seems to use a system of nested directories using numerical identifiers that bare some relation to the date the files were added. But, overall, it's a bit of a black box.
    So, is there a way I can recover the 'browsability' I had with iPhoto?
    I don't want to have to re-import everything into Aperture. I suspect that having the app leave the photos in their original location would help but I've had fatal problems with referenced libraries in iPhoto and so don't want to repeat this. I have also invested many many hours training the facial recognition and tagging my photos (I have about 27,000) so you can imagine I don't want to do this again! =)
    I do have my original iPhoto library (taking up 75GB of my disk). I plan to delete this but is there some way to use this to create a folder structure of links to the Aperture photos? Come to think of it, I could import my Aperture library into a fresh referenced iPhoto library. That way I have the reliability of a managed library in Aperture and the sensible referenced storage format in iPhoto. Would this be sensible? I would lose my iPhoto events and albums though.
    Hopefully you see what I'm wanting to achieve. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Dave

    TD,
    Many thanks for your reply. I've followed your posts on many an occasion so it's good to get your insight.
    Although it was possible to surf the iPhoto Library Folder in versions of iPhoto up to v6 it was never supported. Simply, there are no user-serviceable parts within the Library and you shold never try to access them.
    'User-serviceable' is, of course, dependant on the user =)  I agree that the vast majority of users would be well advised to leave the library alone. I see a great many posts to the iPhoto forum from users who have corrupted their library through fiddling. I've also seen you attempt to help them. It must get frustrating for you. However, I was able to recover a corrupt referenced library by replacing the aliases in the library with original photos. But perhaps this is the exception rather than the rule.
    Using Alias folders etc is pointless and unnecessary. Images accessed and processed this way are not reflected in the Photo Manager, and what's the point of a photo manager if you're not using it?
    I respect your opinion but I disagree. Not least because, as a Tiger user, Finder is generally faster for navigating and accessing photos by quite a considerable margin. Moreso when you factor in the Aperture/iPhoto start-up time. Now, having the media browser brought to my attention under Leopard and above, this particular advantage should now be reassessed. I agree with your point about processed images not being reflected in the Photo Manager. Anyone doing this is demonstrating a lack of understanding of how the Manager works.
    The point of Applications like iPhoto and Aperture is that they replace the Finder when it comes to managing your Photos. It makes no sense to cruise the Libraries via the Finder
    I think you mean that it makes no sense to you. In a similar way thay a GUI user may say it makes no sense to them to use command line tools. The fact that many of us still use the 'ls' command reveals that it has some benefits over Finder. Likewise, Finder has some benefits of Aperture. But that is almost a philosophical debate and this is an Aperture forum =)
    Accessing via the Finder you miss lots of edits, processing and metadata, and anything you think that you can achieve by doing this can also be done via the application interface - and more effectively and safely. It's always faster to use the app as designed.
    Accessing via Finder I know you only get the original image. Exactly what I wanted. I know you can also get this from the application interface. Copying a file using the Finder is just as safe as exporting using the application. You have hit the nail on the head when you say 'effectively' and 'faster'. The core of my original post is that, due to the Library format, I didn't see a way to access the photos via the Finder as effectively or as fast as I could with iPhoto 7.
    The Media Browser is available in just about every app on your mac
    Thank you! That's something that I had somehow missed when upgrading from Tiger. It took 15 seconds to load the first time around but it's been quicker since. I hope that initial wait was for cache building and it won't occur again. This looks like it can be more effective and faster than the Finder.
    Using both iPhoto and Aperture makes no sense at all. Double the work, double the effort and lot of wasted disk space.
    Seriously, rethink what you're doing. You're making things more complicated for yourself.
    Thanks for that.
    As an end note, I should say that I found the tone of your email overly patronizing and too often presented your opinions as facts. I trust that neither was your intention. You have built up an impressive record for helping and assisting others. I feel that it would be a shame if you were to inadvertently put off newcomers by coming across negatively. I hope you will accept my constructive criticism in the positive spirit it is intended.
    Kind regards,

  • How to get my images always order by file name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?

    How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
    Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
    In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
    It ´s possible?
    And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in  the other direction?

    The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
    The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
    If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title.

  • I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Getting error message while trying to open any document in the library

    Hello,

    Ram,
    The error was coming fro OAM which is the authentication system for BeehiveOnline. I suspect but cannot confirm that you have a cookie in the browser that has a different identity from the one you need - maybe you have logged into another OAM OIDin another system.
    If you clear cache in your browser or use a different one I think the problem will go away. If you are unsure how to clear cookies you could go to one of the websites like otn.oracle.com and log out of your account - that will flush out the authentication cookies.
