Applications can't locate music/photo files

My photo/music files live on external drive - La Cie. I am trying to create a photo page in JAlbum but unable to locate my photo directory. Similar problem finding music. Every time I open Itunes, there are songs that require locating file before playing.
Settings all point to La Cie but obviously I don't have something right.
Oh wise ones, where do I start?

Application can't locate Impuse Response Files

I recently replaced my failed hard drive. After restoring from my backup, Logic can not locate impulse response files. If i am loading a preset in space designer, or loading a software instrument that has the space designer set, Logic tells me it can not find the response file and asks me to find it.
I know the location of the files, but it is annoying and inconvenient to have to locate the files every time I want to change instruments or load a preset.
How can I get Logic to permanently remember the location of the Impulse Response Files?

There is no such path System/Library/application support/logic/impulse responses on my computer. The Impulse Response files reside in HD>Lib>Audio>Impulse Response.
This difference of opinion between bill borez and immo gave me an idea, though. I put an alias of the folder into User>Lib>Application Support>Logic. Bingo!
Thanks for the help.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

The hard drive on my MacBook died and I had it replaced. I can't locate my website files and every time I try to open my idisk it looks for a name and password (even reset my apple id as prompted) I keep being told that it's the wrong name or password?

Can't locate imported iPhoto files in Finder

I recently imported a series of pictures into iPhoto. However I can't locate these picture files on Finder..What happened was I had to fire up iPhoto app each time and right click to 'Show File'. It said the path was user/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/...
I want to locate these files on Finder, however, when I clicked on user directory user/Pictures/iPhoto Library I can't drill down further. It seems that 'Originals' folder is missing. When I show package contents though, this folder showed up. This is a frustrating experience for me because I can't upload the pictures to the web, or easily find them.
Does anyone has any idea if this is normal behavior or is there a way I can easily access the list of pictures I've imported without firing up the iPhoto? Appreciate any response. Thanks very much.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does anyone has any idea if this is normal behavior or is there a way I can easily access the list of pictures I've imported without firing up the iPhoto
This is perfectly normal behaviour for v7 of iPhoto. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
However, better to use one of these:
10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
Another way to access the files with iPhoto not running, is to create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Otherwise:
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.

Can't load Music/photo CD's. Keeps ejecting.

Can't load Music/photo CD's. Keeps ejecting. Can load DVD's and use them on screen. Can create music CD from Playlist, but can't replay on iMac, just ejects. Will play created music CD, OK on regular CD player. Discussed the problem Apple support via Chat and have tried resetting SMC. No joy. Have to use a work around by taking same Music and Photo CD's to Macair and loading them, then transferring files via memory stick.
Any ideas would be appreciated

Alright, if you loaded music from a CD to iTunes and then connected the iPhone, you need to make sure that syncing music is selected before you sync. That, or you can select manually manage music and click and drag songs over to the iPhone. Check with the manual here http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf and see if that helps you out. Come back if you need more.
Or, try this Apple Support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export" and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

I have tried everything, but still I can't locate the photos tab in iTunes...I have tried changing the resolution, started iTunes after connecting with the ipad2, nothing seems to work! please advise!

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock. You will then be given a "Choose Library" option. Choose it and point to your library.

did you create the Searcher class? if so stick it in a package and put it under your web-inf directory. then use an <%@ page import="" %> statement to import the code.
if you didn't create the class is it in some jar library you downloaded? if so stick the jar file in your web-inf/lib folder.

The saved Firefox extracts when double clicked but does nothing else, nor can I locate the extracted files

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and saved it. When I double-click on the saved file it says it is extracting the files which it appears to do, however even though I clicked run nothing else happens and I can't locate the extracted files to find the extracted executable file. ....Thanks for your help!

For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
Will either of those install?
It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.
