Aperture cannot locate master files when upgrading to new OS X Leopard

I have recently upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. The problem I have encountered is that when trying to locate the master files of my pictures, Aperture cannot because it thinks my files are in my hard drive located in my previous OS X and that the volume is not mounted. I cannot 'Relocate Masters for Projects' or bring my masters back online since it is the hard drive I am currently running Leopard. Does anyone else have this problem and possibly a resolution? Thank you very much.

I had a similar problem, and this how I fixed this.
Select all the files, and either select "Manage Referenced Files" from the File menu or from the contextual menu when you right click the selected files. Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to your master files [make sure that "Show only Files Not Found" is NOT selected] and reconnect your files. If you have files in a number of albums/projects/folders this may take some time.
Quit Aperture, and if a dialogue shows up saying that it is updating previews DON'T SELECT CANCEL. When you re-launch Aperture everything should be fine.

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

When I transitioned from a PC to a Mac, I transferred all of my music into iTunes, however when I go to play songs, iTunes tells me it cannot locate the file. What do I do?

iTunes cannot find your music files. Find them on your computer and make sure they're in ~/Music/iTunes. If they are not, then drag all the files into the iTunes app.

Aperture cannot locate newly imported referenced images

My friend and I both use Aperture (3.4.3) on OSX 10.7.5.
She recently started having an issue when importing photos as referenced, with images stored on her external hard drive.
After importing, on all images she gets the red slash thru the 'referenced master' badge, indicating that Aperture cannot locate the master images. Aperture also refuses to reconnect with the master images. It's worth noting that all other images in her library are correctly "referenced" to the same external hard drive. The issue is with newly imported images.
The only solution thus far is for her to import as managed, then relocate original out to the external hard drive.
She has both repaired and rebuilt her Aperture library with no change.
She has run Disk Utility on both her external hard drive and her internal hard drive which contains her Aperture library. No errors were found.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Suggestions are welcome!

Have you verified file permissions on the external drive? To avoid permissions problems on an external disk, I just enable "Ignore Ownership" for the entire volume using the Get Info command for it. I do this only for non-boot data only volumes where Aperture libraries are stored. (Actually you can't do it for boot volumes anyway)
You'd think doing the Aperture repair commands would fix this but maybe it only fixes Managed libraries and the referenced files need to be done by the Finder.

Downloaded pictures and now Aperture cannot find master

I downloaded my pictures from my camera and half of them came over just fine into Aperture, and the other half have a yellow triangle icon in the bottom and it says cannot locate the master. How can I fix this? Help! I am freaking out here!

Hi Anita
You have to tell Aperture where your master files are stored on your hard drive. To do this, you can select in the menu 'File', then 'Locate Referenced Files...' and reconnect the missing masters.
Here the documentation for referenced images:

Cannot rename DC, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Hi,
A long time ago we used a domain controller named jacob.mydomain.lan. It was removed, possibly in a 'dirty' way, and now we cannot re-use that name for another domain controller. In the meantime we have upgraded to Win 2012 domain controllers
now, and when I enter this to rename:
netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /add:jacob.mydomain.lan
I get the error: "Unable to add jacob.mydomain.lan as an alternate name for the computer. The error is: Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
If I enter:
netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /remove:jacob.mydomain.lan
I get: "The command completed successfully", but it still refuses to add jacob.mydomain.lan
After each attempt to add a forward zone dns record 'jacob.ourdomain.lan' has been created. I always erase this manually afterwards.
What is the problem? How can I search to find the offending 'file' named 'jacob'?
Thanks a lot for help on this.
regards Tor

Kevin,
I suggest you wait 30 days instead of 3 days before you enthusiastically close threads. Some people might think you are being a jerk if you don't.

Cannot open because cannot locate original file

I made a dumb mistake when I first started using LR and I thought files once downloaded into the catalogue were saved and accessible. I removed the files from bridge and now I cannot open them in my catalogue. My photos will show up in LR, but the message says "cannot open because cannot locate original file"
I can SEE them, I just can't do anything with them. Is there anyway to recover these files?

What you are seeing in LR is simply a thumbnail of what was in your LR catalogue. I guess though there is no harm in trying to export what you see in LIghtroom, as a jpg but I can't thjink that would work.
So you imported all into Lightroom and then went into Bridge and deleted them from Bridge and therefore off your drive as well. And no backup? Just trying to understand where things went sideways.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists

When i try to use Photoshop filters: Adaptive Wide Angle, Shake Reduction and Liquify. An error pop up saying "Cannot create a file when that file already exists".
Just one detail: The liquify filter doen't pop up the error right away, the error occurs just after i press the "ok" button to accept the changes.
I have already tryed to Reset the preferences, tryed to reinstall the PS, Update the PS, download (and install) the latests drivers to my pc.
My Pc fit in all the requirements, have the openGL version: 3.0
I also have Photoshop CS5 installed, in which the liquify filter works perfectly.
Here i have two Print Screen, how it looks:
The first image is just right before a click the "Adaptive Wide Angle"
The second one is right after i clicked it
If you could help me, i already thank you for wasting you time reading this!

Resetting the Photoshop preferences does not reset the preferences for the plugins.
There should be a Plugins folder. If the folder cannot be created it would cause the error you are seeing.
Can you check the permissions on the ‘Adobe’ folder at: C:\Users\jworthin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Can you manually create a Plugins folder in that location or do you get an error?

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

Hi,
I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
and also receiver side : Yeswanth.txt
but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
File Construction Mode : Create
put file : Use Temporary File
and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.
Error getting receiver side at communication channel :
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException:
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. : com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
Reward points for useful answers.

Yeswanth.

Hi Yeswanth
Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
Will this be fine.

FTPEx: 550 : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Hi experts,
I am working on idoc to file scenario and PI 7.1. The idoc is split into 3 files.
In sxmb_moni , the message is successful , but in rwb( Message montoring) i am geeting the fllowing Error message.
' Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '172.19.125.190:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /Storedata/Outbound/0000001802: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor..'
and this error message is not displayed for all the target files , some files are getting created succesfully.
After some times , the file in error status , gets created automatically.
What may be the reason.?
Thanks in advance .
Best Regards,
Anil

There seem to be already some files in your Target Directory with the same name as your new files (which the CC is trying to place) and the CC is not able to overwrite the existing files and hence the error...check this.
Check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/69d7cfa4b633eae10000000a1553f6/content.htm
14. Select the File Construction Mode.
u25CB Create
The file is created. The document received last is saved in each case.
If you want the created file to be overwritten, select Overwrite Existing File. If you do not set the indicator, processing is stopped until the created file is processed.
You can only set the indicator if you select Use Temporary File under Put File below.
Regards,
Abhishek.

The cluster service terminated, error 7024, cannot create a file when that file already exists

I have a test 2-node Failover cluster using Server 2012 R2
As of last night the cluster service on one of the 2 nodes is down with this error:
The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
EventID 7024
The Cluster service waits 60 sec, tries to start, and the same error occurs again.
Any idea where to look to identify which file this error is referring to, or how to go about identifying root cause and getting a solution?
thank you.

"Safari cannot download this file" when I tried dl a .mobileconfig file

Hi,
I have been asked to research deployment of configuration to Ipod touch to determine if our clients will be able to use these devices on our secure network. According to the Enterprise Deployment Guide I should be able to send the Ipod Touch a .mobileconfig file:(http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf)
But I'm getting the message "Safari cannot download this file" when I try to download the .mobileconfig file from our internal http portal.
Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thank you,
M

Hi M,
There may be an issue with the website or the file, try emailing the profile to an account setup on the iPod touch.
If the issue persists, try resetting or restoring the iPod touch.
You can reset the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the restore process.
