Broken files all over the place, help!

I am trying the trila verision of Elements V8 and have pointed the files to my library on an external disk and 95% of my 8,500 +/- photo's show the broken file logo.  How do I reconnect them?  The function "Reconnect" missing files doesn't reconnect them.  The photo's are there because I can see them using my older software Adobe Photoshop Starter Album software.  Any help would be much appreciated.

  • WEIRD ISSUE....Greyed Files all over the place

    So, I've had some "greyed-out" files pop up on my desktop and in my "Home Folder"...(see pics)
    It's foreign to me even though I'm a longtime mac user.  If anyone can help me with removing, or resetting these files in their proper place, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in Advance!
    Oh yeah....Its on my work iMac7,1 - 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo - 2GB or Ram - running 10.6.8

    Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    end if
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    If you change your mind later, run the script again.

  • Files all over the place!

    I wonder why suddenly some of my files got copies in the wrong places. For example, an iTunes song file in an iPhoto folder and an iPhoto file on the desktop. So far about a dozen of such instances have been spotted.

    Do you mean that files that you are saving or downloading are getting saved to the wrong place or do you mean that you are now finding random files that began in the right place but are now appearing in the wrong places?

  • Curlftpfs + vim leaves blank files all over the place

    Hi
    I'm using curlftpfs to mount an FTP server locally, and using VIM to edit the files. However, whenever I save a file on the server, it generates files like:
    [michael@theforce layout]$ ll
    total 60
    -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 0 Feb 8 11:46 4913
    -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 0 Feb 8 11:53 5036
    -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 0 Feb 8 12:27 5159
    -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 0 Feb 10 11:13 5282
    -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 25096 Feb 8 12:27 catalog.xml
    -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 1289 Jan 6 11:25 easylightbox.xml
    I suspect that it might be this setting in my .vimrc
    set backupdir=~/.vim/backup,. -- notice the dot there
    Any ideas?

    In looking at those files,  they almost look like pids.  Perhaps, the pid of your processes are being recorded. by some setting in either your vimrc or more likely a setting in curlftpfs.   (never used that program by the way, so am clueless about it's settings)

  • ITunes is popping up all over the place-help!

    I just installed new external speakers for my laptop and something about them changed iTunes. Now, if iTunes is running in any form then it pops up on top of whatever window I am working in constantly, about every fifteen seconds or so. (While writing this I've accidentally paused my music three or four times cause it popped up when I hit the spacebar.) I didn't change any settings when trying to install the speakers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Highlight all teh tracks for that album, right-click > Get Info.
    Say yes to changing multiple items.
    Type "Kid Rock" in the *Album Artist* field.
    He probably has a guest artist on one or more of the tracks that's causing it.

  • File search - files and projects all over the place

    I have not developed a standard set of scratch locations for all of my files, projects, autosaves, etc. As a result, I have media and project files all over the place on my computer and I now spend most of my time searching. I thought Bridge might help me search for and consolidate all relevant CS3 and CS4 files on all of my drives so that I can then place them into some standard scheme.
    When I do a search from the file menu "find" by criteria I drop down a list of various files, but no project files from After Effects, Premiere, Audition, etc. Does Bridge have a feature that will find and move all my files? 

    I don't think bridge will search across different drives although have read Lightroom will.  Bridge searches from where you start your search and then goes down the  directory from there.  Since I have all my pictures on one drive can't say how that would work it other programs are below it in the directory tree.
    If you have Vista is it very fast at searching.  It searchs across drives if they are all indexed.  The advanced seearch will find keywords "tags" in MS talk.

  • Why does iDVD store stuff "all over the place"?  Project now broken

    Hi all,
    did an hour long family movie project, and in the meantime cleaned up my documents folder and deleted some stuff that I thought was internet downloads etc, or extra working files.
    Turns out it was the important audio stuff for iDVD!
    I've broken my project... the stuff was obviously important, and now when I open this project it has a big broken chain on it.
    Why does iDVD store important stuff "all over the place" like that? I mean, it's confusing enough (for newbies) to learn where the events and where the projects are stored, but why does it strip off the sound and store them in documents where ANYTHING could get deleted?

    Just to add, an iDVD project should be thought of as a shell, an empty container. It has references to the media files used in it, but does not actually contain these files. The files remain in their normal locations. When you burn to disk, or create a disk image file, iDVD pulls these files just for encoding onto a DVD disk or into a disk image file. It does not really move these files into its project files. Your iMovies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete any of these files, iDVD will not be able to locate them, and you will see the broken link images.
    For this and several other reasons, it is a good idea to leave everything alone and not go deleting any files until you have finished your iDVD project.
    Then, when you are ready to burn it to DVD disk, be sure to do a 'Save as disk image' to create a disk image file of the project. This process looks like the burn process, and the encoding will take just as long, but the end result is a self-contained disk image file, not a burned DVD disk.
    The advantage of the disk image file is that you will have an exact copy of your iDVD project with all the media files encoded into it. You now can safely delete all the media used in this iDVD project without losing the project. Now you can clean up your documents folder! Deleting all the files used in the project will also save you drive space.
    You can save disk image files as backups and can move them to external drives or other computers. You can burn DVD disks from disk image files using Disk Utility or Toast. You don't have to worry about your burned DVD disk breaking/melting or having something spilled on it (kids in the house!). You can always get the disk image file and burn another copy. (Great for the relatives who somehow 'lose' the great DVD you made for them!).
    You cannot edit the disk image files however, so you should be creating one only when your project is completely finished.
    If you wish to save all your iDVD files while you are working on a project, you can archive your iDVD project. I have not found the need to do this, but the link J Keller gave you for the tutorial explains how to save as archive and as disk image. Obviously, the archive project will be larger since it is saving all the media. Archived projects can also be moved to other drives or computers.
    Hope you can recreate your project.
    Note to J Keller: the video tutorial was quick and gave the brief how-to and why. Nothing complicated.

  • Some of the CD's I upload onto my iMac get scattered all over the place, please can anyone help?

  • When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know.  Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

    I recently had to replace my ipod touch.  The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly.  Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one.  When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes.  Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

    Yes I did.  When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod.  The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared.  Is there any way to recover them?

  • Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

    Hi,
    For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
    However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
    Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
    Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
    thanks for any suggestions
    matt

    The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
    Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
    I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
    There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.

    Thank you for your attention

    Adobe has been trying this and the product is called Muse ( Web design software | Download free Adobe Muse CC trial ).  It doesn't give you the control over the code that most developers prefer but it could help bridge the gap for design if that is what you are looking for.

  • When in organizer how do I keep my cursor from jumping all over the place?

    When I am working in Organizer 12, My cursor jumps all over the place and the screen keeps repositioning itself.  It is infurating and I can't get any work done. New desktop iMac using Marevick 10.9.1  and wireless mouse and track pad both slowed to lowest level.  Also tried using a tethered mouse but no different.  Anyone else have this problem.  Is it an Apple problem?

    Is it a 'Magic Mouse'? If so that's why, there are many reports that it is badly behaved in the Elements Organizer. If not, do you have another mouse you could try it with (to rule out a hardware problem)?

  • My iPhone 5 has really sporadic battery percentage that jumps all over the place and every so often the phone turns off

    Hi guys!
    I'm having trouble with my iphone 5, the battery percentage jumps all over the place. It will be down at 14% and then I plug the charger in and it jumps to 50%, it jumps around without me plugging the charger in. Today it actually turned off twice and had the red icon to plug it in and when I plugged it in it had turned straight on and was at 27%.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Its really annoying because when I'm out I'm not really able to rely on the battery indicator being correct.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
    Russell

    Hi Boris,
    That sounds really similar! I'm not sure what to so about it, I bought a mobile battery pack to charge my phone while I'm on the go as this seems to make the percentage instantly jump back up again. If I don't get any ideas on here ill probably take it in to an apple store and see if I get any joy there. I'll let u know the outcome if I do go to a store, maybe I can at least buy one at a reduced rate or something. I got my iphone 5 on the day of release so I'm outside warranty too :(
