Can't burn due to missing file

I'm working on a project that I started quite a while ago and I must have deleted a video clip. Anyway I want to burn, but I can't because of the "missing file" error box. I've tried doing a "Save as", repaired permissions and restarted. I'm fairly new at this, so I'm looking for a simple solution. I really don't need the missing file, so how can I just go ahead and burn without it?

Hello Elizabeth - I think you'll need to address the basic problem, ie., find the missing video and move it back so iMovie can find it, or re-edit the video in iMovie so the missing piece isn't needed. One strategy is to delete the video from iDVD, then go back to iMovie and repair that part of your production that is missing (or move it back so iMovie can find it). When you re-import the video back in to iDVD, it should work better. You may also want to look around in the forums here for hints about making the burn smoother (maintenance tasks, good quality disks, slow burning, etc.). John

Can't expoert due to missing file.

I have completed my sound track in Soundtrack 1.2. While working on the project, I deleted a file that was no longer useful and is not a part of the project. Now, when I try to export the mix it tells me that I must reconnect the non-existent file first. Any suggestions?

Does it still show up in the bin? You may have to delete that file (references the original clip) as well.

Have tried to open my itunes and the message given states that itunes can not be opened due to missing files. Please reinstall itunes. Repeated attempts to reinstall give the same result...any ideas?

Have tried to open my existing itunes but it states that it can not be opened due to missing files...please reinstall itunes. Repeated attempts to reinstall are to no avail....any ideas?

I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

Have you tried a repair install of your Apple Software Update?
On XP, go into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Software Update", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
On Vista or 7, go into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Software Update" and then click "Repair"
If ASU repairs successfully, can you now update your Safari?

How can i view all the missing files in elements 12?

I have a very large catalog and there are now a few hundred files missing due to me moving or deleting them outside of elements.
Is there a way to display only the missing files in elements so i can work through them and decide to search for them manually or delete them from my catalog?
thanks for any help
Lee

If you are in Elements Organizer12, go to Find > All Missing Files
It will show all the missing files present in your catalog.
Thanks,

Cannot install driver due to missing files - BlockSysUser and hpzpnp.ice_suffix

I have just purchased a new Dell with Windows 7 64-bit and am trying to install the driver for my oldie-but-goodie OfficeJet 6310. I am having the same problem with BlockSysUser as has appeared numerous times, and have tried all of the posted solutions. I downloaded the driver from the website.
I can get past the BlockSysUser issue by creating another folder called ".SourcePath.setup" and copying the BlockSysUser file that resides in Setup. However, I then get a missing file hpzpnp.ice_suffix.exe, which I cannot find in any of the other folders. It seems to be looking for this also in ".SourcePath.setup".
I can install the printer using Windows, but then I don't have the other good stuff.
This problem seems to have been around for YEARS! Why hasn't it been resolved through driver updates?
Help!

Hi DForm,
It's okay regarding the log file, I did some more research for you and found these steps:
Turn off Anti-Virus (McAffee in this case). How to Disable McAfee Antivirus.
Disabled the firewall. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Perform a L4 uninstall. (a) On the keyboard, hit the Windows and "R" key, then type %temp% and hit enter. b) Locate the correct folder starting with "7z" (the correct folder contains "Util" and "CCC" folders). c) Open folder "Util". d) Open folder "CCC". e) Please run the L4uninstall.bat. f) When the uninstall has completed, restart the computer).
Disabled startup and non MS services. Disable startup items and non-Microsoft services.
Restart the computer.
Run setup as admin. How do I run an application once with a full administrator access token.
Hope this solves the issue, and hope to hear from you soon!

Can't get rid of missing file!

When I load the project, I get the FILE MISSING window. The file is simply ",
with no name. I can't find it.
I have 14 sequences to encode in Compressor. Needs to happen overnight. Every time one sequence is done, and it's going to the next, the FCP window shows again with "missing file". I have tried clicking "ignore", but it doesn't seem to help.
How do I deal with this?
Thanks

Can you drag the file out of the trash?
If so, create a new folder on your desktop and name it junk, and put the strange file in the new folder.
Now, in a terminal, enter
cd Desktop
ls
and you should see the folder you just created named junk
now enter the command
cd junk
if you now do
ls
you will see the strange file.
enter the following command
sudo rm *
and enter password when prompted.
This should remove the file.
If not, post back.
please don't do anything suggested in this post. none of this has any chance of helping and will potentially hurt as the offending file will be copied from the external drive to your desktop and might become undeletable there too.
nerowolfe, please read the thread. the file in question in Trash on an external drive. it can't be deleted because of strange symbols in its name. the unix rm has been tried already and didn't work because of those characters.

CS6 Installation Failed due to missing files.

I m having problem with the Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer now.
It keeps saying missing files. I was installing my CS6 from DVD yesterday on my new Macbook Air. then the whole laptop hanged for a good 3 hours. So i did a cold boot. After restarted my mac, i launched the Installer in the disc and it prompted the Missing file error message.
Installation Failed. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
More troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
I was not able to get pass this stage after numerous retry. Apparently the installer has already installed Bridge and some other components successfully. I tried to access the installer from the Utilities, but i met with the same error.
Would you be able to advise me how to proceed from here? Thank you very much.

Hi kglad,
thanks for the reply. i did try to uninstall by using Utilities > Adobe Installers > Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer, when i click the icon, i get "Uninstall Failed" error, it says:
Your uninstallation encountered errors.
Troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software
3. Uninstall again.
I have done all the above at least 3-4 times and also downloaded the cleaner tool, and ran it, but not items was listed for cleaning.
Any idea how i should proceed?
Thank you.

How many times can you burn a protected aac file

hey its prob a silly question but im actualy not sure, once i read that you get unlimited cd burning of tracks bought from itunes, then i read that you can burn a playlist up to 7 times... does that mean the track can only be burnt 7 times or the playlist the track belongs to? if i burn a playlist 7 times then can the tracks in that playlist never be burnt to cd again? help me please im feeling dumb.

A playlist can only be burnt 7 times. After that, you can still burn the same purchased tracks but they would have to be in a different playlist. If I recall correctly, someone (MacAddict? MacWorld?) did an experiment and discovered that you have to do more than change the order of the playlist. You need to actually have different tracks in the playlist.

WHAT?!! Can't burn ITunes Music Store Files?

Itunes tells me I can't burn a CD of songs that I paid for to a CD.
The support page says I can.
The songs are authorized, they play on my computer.
Anyone know the problem? Or have I made a mistake buying music off of Itunes?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

So what does one do?
1) Select iTunes in the menubar.
2) Select "Preferences".
3) When dialog appears, click on "Advanced" at the top.
4) Click on "Burning".
5) Select "Disc Format: Audio CD".
6) Burn a new disk.
That should give you an regular audio CD that you can listen to on your stereo. Also, make sure that you are burning a CD-R and not a CD-RW. Many stereos can't read CD-RW's.

I cannot do a full system recovery due to missing files and I don't have a recovery disc

At startup, I continue to get a message to activate windows. When I try to do this, I get message that some files are missing. The computer will not allow me to go back to the earliest system restore, nor will it allow me to do a full factory restore. I have been having problems since the time I did an online upgrade from Windows 8 to the 8.1 version. The original factory warranty expired on 02/04/15. I have contacted t, he Costco Consierge Service, HP and Microsoft to no avail. When I purchased the computer from Costco, neither the computer, not the box it came in had a Windows 8 activation code on them. Can someone please help?

Enter the BIOS and load the HP Factory default keys. That should take care of it. BTW, if you do end up having to pay for the factory prepared HP USB recovery media, it only costs about $25.00 USD.

My Satellite A notebook does not start due to missing files

I have a Toshiba Satellite and at the start of every month is ***** out.
I brought it brand new about 2 years ago and at the start of every month it will not go into windows.
It wont even let me into safe mode or anything and it is not a virus as I expected it to **** out tonight.
So I did a virus scan and nothing showed up and then half an hour later it died, right on schedule. Im sick of this as each time it dies I have to use the recovery disk and it wipes everything. I have on there and after 2 years of having to restart everything all over again each month. Im ready to "accidentally" drop it in the pool and claim insurance on the dam thing. I dont get me wrong its great till the first of every month and without warning it just goes really slow, and when I restart it, it says a file is missing and wont boot up.
The weird thing is........... it is always the same time of the month and since today is the 4th it died so at Im on my 8s computer typing this while my Toshiba is restarting all over again.
IF U THINK, YOU CAN TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPING I will love u forever.
Im just so sick of having to reload everything and like last month I expected it to kill itself. So I did all the scans and cleaned it up.
But no it still died right on schedule..........hmm plz help

Hi sorry can't actually give you a solution to your problem but would say sounds as if you never thought to buy extended warranty on it, also if it did this within the first year what did Toshiba say about it as surely you asked them to look into it and if not, sorry but why on earth not? I can see why you thought it was a virus but sounds to me(not technically trained but using logic) that if it does it at the beginning of each month then its something wrong with the actual computer that deals with the clock and might be worth emailing Toshiba themselves and explain it to them and see what they say or take it to a computer shop and explain and ask them to look at it and see if they can find out what is causing it as sounds as if it's been doing this from the time you first bought it.
