Big trouble with missing (...) Folder

Hallo everybody
Just happily upgraded to 2.4 but...today I found out LR was showing as "Missing" (marked with "?") a folder that has been quite a long time located in the same position (internal HD) but more strange is that when I tried to relocate it trough the "Find missing folder" action, this is what happened:
- LR put all the pictures in Previous Import
- the folder that should have been relocated was still in the same position (without question mark), with same title, showing same pictures amount but...
- when I clicked on the folder, an empty screen came out with a notice "No photos in selected Folder" (file counter was displaying 236 files...)
To fix the whole thing to place the Folder in the right position, I had:
- to delete the Previous Import
- to delete the (empty) original folder
- to re-import the files
At the end, after a lot of struggling, I found I lost all the settings about the pictures (ratings, develop, etc) made at the time........
Can anybody tell me where did I go wrong?
Fabio
p.s. besides that, I have to agree there are big improvements from 2.0

Hi John
today I had another mysterious (at least for me) behavior from LR.
I updated the location of a folder I already had on my catalog but when the folder moved in his new location some of the grid previews were not visible and were tagged with an exclamative mark; then they became visible when I clicked on them one by one (in grid view).
Shouldn't LR always retain the previews?
If I tried to enlarge them to Standard view before they were visible as grid I got a message "There was an error while working with this photo" and the standard view took some extra time to show up.
I also noticed that sometime I can't see previews of folders that have been a long time in my catalog.
What's wrong with my LR?
Fabio

I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard: Part II

Hi
I haven't got any more replies to my post "I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard" by Krelian 2003.09.13 at 05:25. Please help! I've been struggling with this for a LONG time. And now my computer won't boot at all! Sometimes the LED's in front of the computer lights up for half a second, and nothing more happens. The only sign of life is the green light in the LAN jack. It happened after I took the ide cable for my harddrive in and out of the mainboard. This is insane, how can that suddeny happen :O ?! I was asked by wonkanoby to post max amps for my PSU, I did, and I really need to know if I maybe need a new PSU, since he asked that. Can a new PSU solve all the problems mentioned in my previous posts? Everything was fine except that I couldn't get into Windows, before i tried another harddrive on my computer. How can that complicate things so much? I have tried going barebone, and taking out the cmos battery and setting the jumpers JBAT1, J10 and J11. I have also tried every suggestion I got. Please help! I really need to get this fixed!

Some power supplies or designed so that if there is a short or overload they shut them selfs off and some will not turn back on. Some have a relay that will click back on and work, some you have to cycle the power switch. Those that won't come back on will have to be replaced. I'm not saying that yours is that type as I have no way of telling. But if you have a friend who will loan you a good power supply you might try it. As someone else said just turning off the power will not darn all the power from some motherboards. To test this turn off your power supply than turn on the computer with the start botton. Mine will flash the lights and fans will start to spin than die. So every time you turn off computer to work on it. After turning off PSU hit the start botton to drian any power left in it before working on it. Also do this after unplugging it just to make sure.

Big troubles with FTP upload since upgrade to leopard

Hello out there,
I made an upgrade from tiger to leopard 3 weeks ago (10.5.7) on my iMac (Intel - early 2006). Since this time I Have big troubles with ftp upload.
I'm using Cyberduck as FTP client and it worked very well before but since the upgrade it starts quick and falls down to a view kb after a view seconds. Sometimes it stops completely.
Target Server is checked and working well. Also the ISP is fine (tested with a windows machine).
As it is important for my business (photographer) I would appreciate if somebody can give me a quick hint how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

I am also experiencing this problem, but only (so far) with one hosting company of the many I FTP into (web designer). The symptoms are exactly as reported above. Files initially start uploading fine, then slow to a crawl and stall. This is the same regardless of FTP software. Error reports say the server is not responding.
This problem is the same using my daughter's computer (also running 10.5.7), but my son (being my son) hasn't updated his OS since 10.5.5 and I encounter NO problems whatsoever FTPing from his machine, nor from a PC.
It's only the uploads that seem to cause a problem. Communicating with the server to download, rename, move or delete files presents no issues.
(In trying to track down where the problem was, I also discovered that the traceroute command to any site on both 10.5.5 and 10.5.7 stalls at the modem, though pings work fine as does tracert from the PC.)

Trouble with App Folder

Hi, i've got some trouble with my app folder on my macbook pro mid-2012. The app folder doesn't seem to be recognized as the App Folder. In the dock the icon of the folder is just a ordinary blue folder (without the "A" symbol on it). And it's exactly the same in the sidebar in the Finder, it's not the "A" but a standard folder icon. But the thing is that the Launchpad doesn't recognize the App Folder anymore. If i add an app in the folder, it doesn't show up in the Launchpad. Same if i delete an app, it doesn't disappear in the Launchpad.
Everything worked great when i bought the mac. And few months after, without any reason, it started messing around.
I was using OS X Lion at this time, and with every updates, it didn't get better. I'm now running OS X Yosemite Beta and the problem fixed by itself when i updated from Yosemite Beta 1 to Beta 2. But it went back after a reboot.
I don't know if i'm clear enough but if someone knows how to bring back the original behavior of the App Folder it would be awesome.
PS: sorry for my english i'm french

Did you try the disk utility? :
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
By the way, you should post this in the Yosemite Beta forums...

Big Trouble with iMovie

I recently upgraded to a new graphics card (ATI Radeon 800XT) to support an Apple 30 cineman display on my Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5.
All other applications (iPhoto, Freeway, Photoshop, Safari) seem to work fine. However, iMovie doesn't. The application opens from the dock and reads files, but I can not activate anything with a mouse click in the iMovie window. The elements in the window are totally nonresponsive. I can however, close, export and do other menu-driven things in the iMovie control bar.
Some things I've tried:
1. I deleted the iMovie preference files (I found only one)--no help
2. The imovie files in question are on an external drive--but that drive works fine and can be accessed directly
3. I was having trouble with frozen start-up when I first set up new graphics card. I figured the computer was trying to read the old graphic card's driver. I delted all items with the old graphics card name and that fixed the start-up problem. When I put these back in it does not seem to help the imovie problem
Any ideas?
Any chance that reinstalling iLife will help?

....to support an Apple 30 cinema display on my Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5. ... ... iMovie is simply overwhelmed by such hardware!! sorry, just a silly joke, SCNR!!!!
anyone?

HT1730 Trouble with Missing Plugins

I just bought a brand new macbook pro with an Intel Core i7 proessor. I've been told to 'Get Info' on Safari and "Open Using Rosetta but there is no such box to tick when I follow these steps. I only have one box to tick, which is "Open using 32 bit". What do I do? Seems strange that I have missing plug-ins on websites given it's a brand new machine?

Open your Library folder on your hard drive and look for a folder called "Internet Plug-ins" - here's a screen shot of mine...
Most of your browser plug-ins should be 2011-2012 (hunh! Looks like I have some cleaning to do!). If you see anything older, just put them in Disabled Plug-ins. Restart Safari and see what happens.

Hello,
Check this out (you may have seen this, though):
iPod shows a sad iPod icon
If an iPod has a folder with an exclamation point or is "sad", that typically means that its hard drive is out of place. Try this:
Tap your iPod firmly on either side several times with your hand. This may work to tap your iPod's hard drive back into its correct place. It actually has worked for a lot of people, so it isn't just a joke!

I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard.

Please help!
I've bought myself a new mainboard, a MSI K7N2 Delta-L. I was having trouble getting Windows XP to detect my harddrive, but then I found out that I had to to first format my harddisk. But now I've got a new problem. I first tried a different harddrive on my computer, to see if something was wrong with my harddrive. But, there wasn't, since I tried my harddrive on another computer, and it worked. So, when I put my harddrive back into my computer, I can't enter BIOS. The screen either turns white, or some colors appear, and nothing happens. If I start without trying to enter BIOS, the same thing happens after detecting IDE devices (which takes an unusally long amount of time). When the white screen is up, my CD-rom tries to start my Windows XP cd several times, but, nothing happens. How can I get my computer to start normally, so that I can reinstall Windows and live happily ever after.

I pulled the jumper out of my harddisk, and it detected IDE devices extremely fast, as it should. But, I still can't enter BIOS. After detecting IDE devices, the screen turns white, but not for long, I could hear the harddrive booting, and the Windows XP boot screen appeared for about half a second. Then the computer restarted, and the same happened again.

Trouble with Missing Sync

Hello all,
I am currently trying to get data from my treo 680 onto my mac (in mac address book, ical, etc formats) so that I can eventually put them on an iphone. I am using a program called missingsync which supposedly does this, however i am having much difficulty finding where the backed up files are going. The program says they have been successfully backed up however I can't find them anywhere on my mac. Does anybody have any experience with Missingsync that could help me out? (I tried calling tech support, its an answering machine). Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you read the User Guide bundled with the Missing Sync for Palm OS? Are you not aware that files stored on your Palm device are written in this manner:
• contacts to the Address Book
• events and tasks to iCal?
Are you talking about 'transfering' or synchronizing your data now stored in your Palm device with your Macintosh desktop or portable computer, or backing it up using the standard Palm backup conduit?
Are you aware that Mark/Space offers a specific application designed to do just what you want to do, and provide ongoing support for iPhone features not supported by iTunes?

Trouble with music folder - when trying to add music to itunes library.

Ever since I updated itunes recently, I have been having difficulty adding music from my music file. When I go to File/Add File to Library it brings me to the default storage location, even though I have gone to Edit/Preferences/Advanced and changed my music folder to what I want to have come up when I go to add a song. My music folder has always been the same, but for some reason, it has all of a sudden decided to change to the default music folder, where my music isn't kept, and I can't seem to change it back. Is anyone having this issue as well? Please help!

chris CA,
I think you missed the question that "fillibrownis" raised (btw, I am seeing the same problem and it is quite frustrating).
The problem is that when we select File/Add File to Library, it throws up a box which displays the windows default music location (which is "My Music" on Windows XP). In previous versions, iTunes used to show the iTunes Music Location, as specified in (Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General). The benefit for such a thing was that user could directly copy music from external sources to the iTunes Music Location (without using the "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library).

Big trouble with using Find/Move/Rename Actions multiple times

Hi~
I have a folder with a lot of JPGs in it.
For simplification, let's say this folder contains exactly 1000 JPGs. The JPGs have been renamed numerically 1 through 1000 while still preserving the original order the JPGs came in straight out of Camera.
I want to separate the JPGs by putting them into different folders (i.e. "untitled folder 1", "untitled folder 2", "untitled folder 3", etc.). I want to put 20 JPGs in each folder. The first folder will contain original JPGs 1-20, the second folder will contain original JPGs 21-40, the third will have original JPGs 41-60, ...and the last folder (untitled folder 50) will have original JPGs 981-1000.
I also want to rename all of the JPGs in each folder numerically, 1 through 20. For example, untitled folder 3 will contain original JPGs 41-60, but I want to rename them to 1 through 20. This is very important - the original order must be preserved. As an example, let's look at untitled folder 3 with JPGs 41-60. "41.JPG" must be renamed as "1.JPG", "42.JPG" must be renamed as "2.JPG" ... "60.JPG" must be renamed as "20.JPG".
I want this to continue until I have 50 separate folders, with each containing 20 JPGs, all of which are sequentially numbered 1 through 20 while still preserving the original order.
I gave this a try on Automator with no solid results. The sequence of actions I put together were as follows:
1. Get Specified Finder Items (JPGs 1-20 from the folder containing the 1000 original JPGs)
2. Move Finder Items (to the new folder: untitled folder 1)
3. Get Specified Finder Items (original JPGs 1-20 that are now in untitled folder 1)
4. Rename Finder Items (The settings for rename are as follows: Make Sequential, Add number to = "new name", "item name" is deleted and then I press return, Place number = "before name", Start numbers at = "1", separated by = "nothing", and the rename Example looks like "1.xxx"
These setups are repeated again for JPGs 21-40, and again for 41-60. Importantly, I modify each action to make sure it gets the correct JPGs from the correct folder.
I wrote the action to last for the first 60 JPGs (I wanted to test it before writing the rest of it, which would take a long time!)
The results I got are as follows:
-Original JPGs 1 through 60 have been removed from the originals folder containing the 1000 Original JPGs. (so far so good)
-Original JPGs 1-20 from the originals folder have been moved to "untitled folder 1" and renamed 21-40 (not good... I wanted them to stay the same: 1-20)
-Original JPGs 21-40 were moved to "untitled folder 2" and were correctly renamed 1-20. Then, these were unexpectedly moved a second time to "untitled folder 3" (not good).
-Original JPGs 41-60 were moved to "untitled folder 3" and were renamed as 21-40.
Summary:
The final result was that Untitled folder 1 contained original JPGS 1-20, incorrectly renamed to 21-40. Untitled folder 2 is empty. Untitled folder 3 contains original JPGs 21-60. Original JPGs 21-40 were correctly renamed 1-20, whereas JPGs 41-60 were incorrectly renamed 21-40.
I feel like I have reached the limit of my knowledge with Automator, so I need your help!
Thank you very much for at least reading this!
~Michael

First, be careful of the forum you post in - there are Automator forums for both Tiger and Leopard. Your profile shows you running Leopard, but this reply would apply to Tiger as well.
Most actions return the results from whatever it is that they do - in the case of Move Finder Items, the action returns the items that it moved. In your example workflow, when you follow the move action with the Get Specified Finder Items, you double up the list of items to rename, so there is some extra renaming going on. Most actions have an option to ignore the input from the previous action, but getting rid of the Get Specified Finder Items action from your workflow should clear things up.
Automator will work for your workflow if there aren't too many items, but if you really have thousands of files you might have better luck with an AppleScript.
