"Audio File "Recording#27.aif" not found" Error Message- Please HELP!

Hi Everyone-
I was opening a podcast today to finish editing it and I got this error message, "Audio File "Recording#27.aif" Not Found" - and, naturally, when I opened the project, half of a phone interview was missing (or, rather, it shows up as purple balloons but each one says "File Not Found" inside). This file is the audio from the interviewer (the interviewee file is totally fine, as are all others in the podcast). When I load the project it asks if I want to search for this missing file, but when I click yes it says that it can't be found.
How can I find this file? What happened to it? Thank you for any ideas, suggestions, etc. For reference, I'm using GarageBand 3.0.4 on a MacBook Intel Core Duo 2Ghz and Mac OS X 10.4.11

no, GB wouldn't delete anything on it's own. it only deletes files for which you've deleted the entire region from the timeline and then saved
if the file is not within the projects, i'm afraid it's gone, and i can't think of any way that could happen by itself B-(>
Well i guess I should warn others that copying and pasting is very dangerous stuff! I had two podcasts- in podcast #1 GB saved the interview file as "Recording#27.aif" and in podcast #2 GB saved a little intro clip under the same name. When I pasted the intro clip from podcast #2 into podcast #1 my interview disappeared. I didn't delete it- I was never asked about it, I didn't delete the region from the timeline, etc. I have to assume that since they had the same name, GB thought I no longer needed the "Recording#27" from podcast #1 and now I can't find it anywhere! If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could find this file I would be very appreciative.

Audio file "Recording#01.aif" not found.

I recorded some guitar into garage band and then copied it into a new document and deleted the tracks from he original one. Now when I open the garage band file with the copied guitar tracks, it displays a message saying "Audio file “Recording#01.aif” not found."
Is there a way to find these sound files again, so that I can hear and edit them again?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Audio file 'recording#10.aif' not found (message)

When I try to open any garageband files that contain real instrument recordings(purple recordings) I recieve a message saying "Audio file 'recording#10.aif' not found, or any other recording number... When the computer prompts me to search i tell it to, and then it comes up with the message "16 invalid region(s) changed!"
I have found the original recordings in the finder and have tryed putting them in the garage band folder...
Is the problem that the recording files have maybe changed location in the finder? If so, where does garageband send the files after they are recorded so that I can return them to there original locations?
Thanks a lot guys.

I once spent three days (long days) trying to track down and beat an "invalid region" problem, I finally had to admit defeat, nothing I tried could solve it.
where does garageband send the files after they are recorded
They are stored within the project you create. There are no scratch files.

Audio file "Bass#14.aif" not found!

Hey Logicians-
I've misplaced my root audio files. I've tried using this phrase (Audio file “Bass#14.aif” not found!) and several derivatives thereof in the finder while highlighting my hard drive (complete search right?), but found nothing...same deal in time machine. Are they gone?
When I re-opened the first project to do some mastering, I selected "search" and the audio files were found. With the other projects I was not so lucky. All I see are empty audio regions.
Thanks-
J

Nothing in the "trash can." I downloaded EasyFind and scanned both my hard drive and the time machine hard drive for the first missing audio file that pops up when I try to open "Hide Your Love..." The file is "keys#12.aif" Easy find came up with about 20 keys_12.aif all referencing my old Cubase days. I did note that it only took a few seconds to search my hard drive (which includes my user profile correct?) but a good 10 minutes to search Time Machine. I've only been using this machine for about 7 months, and obviously haven't done much work, otherwise the search through the main hard drive should take longer huh? I wish I at least understood what happened. An accidental deleting is tough to believe since I did 2 versions of each song for the group, renaming each version and saving. I would have had to ignore some serious alerts to not have saved those tracks, furthermore, the audio regions exist...which came from something.
Fortunately it was not Keith Jarrett's final concert. Unfortunately, I may need to sit through the recording.....again.
Do unexplainable things ever happen computerwise?
Thank you Gents-

Help! "Recording#68.aif not found"

Hey everyone,
I was just in the middle of recording guitar for a song when I noticed GarageBand wasn't recording anymore and I couldn't hear myself play. All of my equipment was hooked up properly and all volumes were up. So I saved and quit GarageBand, reopened it and tried to record again. When it began to open my song file, a window popped up that said "Recording#68.aif not found". Now I find that I can't record anything on any of my other songs either! It looks like its recording but won't playback any sound and I can't hear anything in the monitor.
What happened? What can I do? Can anyone please give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The iMic is a weird duck. To get it to work properly I plug it in, choose it in Garageband audio prefs (Garageband initializes the driver), close the Garageband session and reopen it. Then everything works.
The missing file, listed in your first post is a totally different story. It has nothing to do with the iMic. When you lock tracks, GB puts some files called recording.aif 1, 2 etc. in the Garageband package. These are basically a mixed down version of the track so GB can save cpu power to render the track. I have found that if I unlock all tracks I can safely delete these files and the .band file is smaller. If I lock tracks again new .aifs are created. In general, it is not good practice to mess with the Garageband package. A corrupt package will cause the session to not work.
If you have gotten the track to work you might want to do the save as archive option to make sure you have saved the track properly.

"Not Found" Error Message Problem

Hi All!
I have a really weird issue happening that I have not found a post for in the boards, although there are some similar ones. I have a video project that I had been working on about a month ago and finished except for credits (I had no problems while working on it then). I finally just got the list of names to use for the credits, so I went to open the project to add the credits and I got a "Not Found" and "Out Of Memory" Message. I have 134.6 Gigs open on the Raid I save everything to, so I know I'm not actually out of memory. So I changed the settings to 80% Application and 50% Stills b/c I have around 10 jpegs I was using for titles in it. That seemed to help at least get the sequence opened. I then had media offline messages for those titles, eventhough they are in the browser and defined as online, so I just reconnected each one individually anyway. That helped with that problem. However, I FCP won't render the transitions around the titles. I deleted the transitions and titles and tried to re-render the video clips that were involved in the transitions with the titles. It won't render those. When I try to view the clips in the viewer, I get the "Not Found" message again. I reconnected a couple of the video clips individually, but I still get the message when I try to view them in the Viewer. The clips in the sequence are there and play in the canvas but not in the viewer and I get the "Not Found" message. I have it set to view the image without wireframes, so that's not the problem. The source videos are read as online in the browser and are in the same place as they were when I originally started the project, so that's not the problem. I've tried different variations on the memory usage. I've tried copying and pasting to a new sequence but get the same problem. Does anyone know why all of a sudden I can't view any of my source video and the clips I used in my sequence in the viewer and why it would give me the "Not Found" error message?
Some Specs that might be helpful:
FCP HD 4.5
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5
2.5 Gigs DDR SDRAM
Raid 1 with 134.6 Gigs Available Space
SD NTSC DV Footage - MPG files I transfered originally from the client's portable hard drive
A Few JPGs of Photoshop Titles
I'm sorry this is insanely long, but I wanted to provide as much detail as I could.
Emily

They were originally on a PC. That quite possibly could be it.
I just checked all the titles again and they are all RGB.
Our Raid ocassionally has problems, so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that.
I'm going to try on Monday to just re-import the videos I need into the project and see how that goes. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll take a look on Monday and see what happens.
I was just hoping that someone might have had this problem and knew what to do.
Thanks for your help!

Boot Device Not Found Error Message

I've had my laptop since May 2011. HP Pavilion dv6
Quad-Core AMD Phenom II 2.2 GHz
DDR3 SDRAM 8 GB
500 GB Serial ATA 7200 rpm hard drive.Originally Windows 7 64-bit upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit One morning I turned on my laptop and I received the following error. The laptop lives on my desk, hasn't undergone any major changes, and I haven't moved or dropped it. I've run every diagnostic test from the F2 menu. The hard drive and memory both passed, the system tune up passed, and I've restored the BIOS to the default settings with no changes. If I hold the power button and restart the laptop usually on the 2nd or 3rd attempt the system will start normally with no issues and continue on as if nothing is wrong. This is a helpful work around but it doesn't solve the problem which is a bit of an annoyance and leaves me worried that eventually it might refuse to start at all. Thinking that a system restore might help I ran a recovery and brought it to an "out of the box" state. After that failed I decided to go ahead and upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I performed a clean install keeping none of my programs or personal files. Despite a successful Windows 10 install I still receive the same error every time I restart. The short version:When I turn on my laptop I encounter a Boot Device Not Found Error Message.My hard drive passes diagnostic tests.My laptop will start eventually if I continue to power cycle it.

@pkharel ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. So that I can better help you here with this hard drive issue . Can you explain what diagnostic you ran on the hard drive.
Did you run the diagnostics from the BIOS?
HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2)
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics
If you have attempted the diagnostics from the BIOS and are not finding the Hard drive. See if you can find the hard drive in another computer. If you can not find it using another computer replace the drive. If you can and it is not located on your notebook then you have a possible issue with the motherboard.
First thing I would do is try and restore your BIOS first.
Restoring the BIOS
After attempting this and you still can not find the Hard drive and you can see it in another system please contact HP phone support for repair options.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Scanner Not Found Error Message on My Computer

5 years ago, I got an HP inkjet printer and after it was installed, I could never get the scanner to work. I always got an error message (can't remember the wording). Last month, I got a new HP laserjet printer with a scanner, and it is installed, but again, I get an error message when it comes to scanning. This message tells me that there is no scanner found on my computer.
Today, from the panel on the printer, I was able to open up the scanning option. It looks like the only options are to send the scan to an email or to have the scan sent to a flashdrive (USB port). So, if I want to scan a picture, how do I just scan the picture and save it in my documents? Why is the only option to send it in an email or a flashdrive or a network folder? If I try to access the scanner from my computer (instead of using the panel on the front of the printer), it doesn't look like the scanner is connected to the computer even though it is (I went into system preferences and found the printer and both printer and scanner are connected with this new printer).
So, my question is two-fold; why do I get this message saying my scanner is not found on my computer and is the only way to use the scanner is to have it connected to the internet or a USB port, and if so, how do I connect it to my email address or network? I guess I would have to email the scanned picture to myself if I want it on my computer or save it on a flash drive? Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.

Hi @awestruck ,
I see that you are getting a "scanner not found" error message. I would like to help you out today, but I will need to know some more information.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Depending on which model you have, the features are different.
You should have the HP Software installed for scanning from the computer. You can also use Apple Preview, Apple Image Capture or Print & Scan.
What software are you using to scan with?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Can I go back to the old look of the 'server not found' error messages?

After updating to Firefox 32, I noticed that the 'server not found' error messages now look differently. I don't like the new look, so I wonder if you know about an add-on that restores the old look. I've tried searching for it, but I don't know the proper name of these error messages, so I'm not sure what search phrase I should use.

To recall what it looked like before, I did a search: [https://www.google.com/search?q=server+not+found+picture+firefox&client=firefox-beta&hs=wiy&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=QUIXVPz7Eou7ogSl8YD4Bg&ved=0CB8QsAQ&biw=1036&bih=554#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=dFf2lmJRgVlgyM%253A%3BS3EdEuvyajjWqM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.stack.imgur.com%252F2ZJR2.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fsuperuser.com%252Fquestions%252F584305%252Ffirefox-says-server-not-found-because-its-adding-www-how-do-i-stop-this%3B851%3B455 Images of Server not found in Firefox]

Server not found error message

This is the second time I've "posted" this problem. Maybe the first time didn't take.
I get SERVER NOT FOUND error message.

What main page? I take it you did not write your message on the bad
Firefox. There are several things that could be the problem.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see
