Can't re-import folder after deleting it

I deleted a CD off ITunes because it wouldn't play in ITunes, but would play on my IPod. I tried to re-import it but when I select the folder, nothing happens. The songs won't upload. No error message, just when I click select folder, the window closes. All the songs are in the folder and I can still play the tracks in other audio programs. I did make it so I had complete permission, but there may be something else I can do. I have restarted my computer, shut down ITunes, tried importing one by one, and many other things. This is from a burned CD, not purchased from ITunes. Anyone have any ideas?

Those are the classic symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats.
The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator, and then adding them to iTunes.

I can only start my iBookG4 after deleting preferences. I have to go into single user mode to do so. If I don't go into single user mode, the computer shuts down during boot up. What might be the problem?

I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:
** Checking catalog file.
Invalid key length
(4, 8198)
** Volume check failed.

I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.

Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.

Can I retrieve a photo after deleting it on my iphone4?

Can I retrieve a photo after deleting it on my iphone4?

Not from the phone if that was the only place it was stored, but you could restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup to get the photo back. You could also check to see if it's still in Photo Stream as well.

[Solved] Can't boot into Arch after deleting some partitons

About 6 months ago I installed Arch on a machine that used to run Ubuntu. Had some trouble at the time getting to boot into Arch but somehow managed. Now eventually decided to delete the old Ubuntu partitons to free up some space using gparted. Arch partition number changed from sda12 to sda6.
On rebooting after deleting ubuntu partitions with gparted, I got an ubuntu splash screen and a whole lot of ubuntu boot options. Somehow these were all contained in my Arch's /boot/grub/menu.lst. Arch is all on one partition and no separate boot partition (which I had with Ubuntu - maybe I haven't deleted that and this is the problem?). Will need to check that out.
I can chroot into Arch and did the following -
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
grub> root (hd0,5)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeed
ed
Done.

The Arch /boot/grub/menu.lst had a whole lot of ubuntu stuff in it but I edited to the following -

I need to post this now and come back from a different machine to note the error messages I am now getting on boot. ...
Note that when I boot and press esc to get the menu I get the menu.lst I created (in the second quote) above in /dev/sda6, ie the one with the Arch hd and uuid entries - so grub is looking there and finding that menu.lst, but something goes wrong after that.
OK. Have now booted the machine and after pressing esc and selecting the uuid entry (the same thing happens with the hd entry) I get a whole lot of stuff, but what seems relevant is (typing it out) -
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-Arch #1
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. This is my MythTV machine so the WAF is about to take a big dive!
If I could just install grub to the MBR as if this was a new installation of Arch that would be great.
I am really lost as to what is going on, which I'm sure is evident.
Thanks a lot

Hi. Unfortunately that didn't help.
So next, based on this post https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … el_version I chrooted into Arch and (a) rolled back and (b) reinstalled my kernel but that didn't help either. I suspected it wouldn't because the kernel was working fine before I deleted the partitions in question.

I then did a pacman -Suy and the linux package has now replaced kernel26. ( See this wiki entry http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/). I didn't change anything in menu.lst owing to this and it seems there is no need to. Unfortunately this hasn't helped either - still getting the kernel panic.

I don't think I've mentioned that my old menu.lst seems to have disappeared and so must have been on one of the partitions that were deleted. I did have 2 Arch installations when I was setting things up months ago and that menu.lst may have been on the other partition but pointing to this partiton's kernel for booting. Presumably that's possible since this partiton is definitely the one I have been using for the last several months (confirmed by log and other files updated in the last few days etc). Even so, I suppose that probably wouldn't be relevant to this issue, since grub is finding the menu.lst on this partition when it boots so it is looking in the intended place now.
It seems I'm at a bit of a dead end. It seems these kernel panics are usually because there is something wrong with the kernel - which there wasn't with mine (and presumably the kernel in the new linux package is fine) or there is a typo in menu.lst (I can't see one and nobody has pointed one out yet) or menu.lst is pointing to the wrong partition (mine is pointing to the same partition and /boot directory that is found by grub - which is where my boot image is located - so it seems to be correct). I have nevertheless tried editing the menu.lst entry when booting to boot from different partitions but so far that hasn't worked either.
If anybody has other ideas I'd really appreciate it.
If not, some suggestions on re-installing would also be appreciated. I have a recent tar archive of the partition, but presumably reinstalling that wouldn't be of much use since it would just put back what is currently there. I guess that I need to format the partition, create a separate boot partition, do a fresh install of Arch into the formatted partition (and with boot in the new boot partition). And then restore my tar backup (excluding the boot directory) into the formatted partition?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Flagged mails shown in "flagged" folder after deleting them

Hi folks,
I have the following problem with my mail app:
I marked 4 mails as flagged and they were shown in the "flagged"-folder. After deleting them the flagged folder shows still the 4 flagged mails although they are deleted. Meanwhile I reinstalled the specific mail account, restarted the iPhone and so on. Nothing helped. Any ideas? Thx in advance.
(iPhone 4S, iOS 7)

Hi Laura
I'm not sure you said which version of RoboHelp you are
using. I'm going to base my answer on X5.
You should find a file inside your project folder location
that is named rhbuildtag.apj. So what I would do is to close
RoboHelp HTML, locate and delete your ProjectName.CPD file. Edit
the rhbuildtag.apj file to remove any instances of those tags. Then
restart RoboHelp HTML and see if things have improved. If my hunch
is correct, this should correct the issue.
Cheers... Rick

"Photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported" .. There's no Import Folder to delete

Please read the entire post prior to giving a response.
Our 2011 MBP has had this problem for a while. 15 photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported (twice .. every time). I've seen several posts that all have the same answer .. find the import folder in iPhoto, remove it and all will be fine with the world. Some say, it's importing folder, some say auto import folder, but all say it's a folder. Problem is, there is no such folder. I've looked throughout the computer .. applications, iPhoto, right click to show package contents, searched and searched .. nada. NO such folder exists. There are quite a number of files labeled "ImportPanels.nib" and "SelectiveImport.nib" all under "Other". There are also a number of import.tiff files with various names under "Preview". But NO folder with IMPORT in the name.
So, how do I get rid of the never ending 15 photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported? Help that doesn't repeat what's already been noted above in other posts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
(BTW .. it has Mavericks installed and everything is currently updated.)

I have no idea where you are looking. I have nothing even similar to that. When I go to Finder and click on Applications and then right click iPhoto (not iPhoto Library .. I have nothing with that name) and click on Show Package Contents, I have just one folder "Contents". That opens to _CodeSignature, _MASReceipt, Frameworks, Library, MacOS, Plugins, Recurces and XPCServices .. no other folder exist.
(I have show .. iMovie, iMovie 9.0.9, iPhoto, iTunes, iWork '09, Keynote, etc .. No iPhoto Library Folder is listed.)
If I go to Launchpad and right click the iPhoto icon, it opens iPhoto. You say not the application, but I have no idea were else to find this other than Finder which is only the iPhoto application and the icon in Launchpad and the Dock.
When I click the Library folder, the only folder is Loginterms which opens to iCloud Photos.
There isn't any folder names Auto Import or anything close. Searches don't help as they only find files, not folder names.
In your picture, it shows iPhoto Library as the header .. mine never shows that, it's always the folder name.
Where is the iPhoto Library Package?

Alert Manager, can a triger or before/after delete be used

Is there a way to create a alert using the alert manager responsibility with a before or after delete statement to capture data before it is removed from a table? I would like to do this agianst the FND_RESP_FUCNTIONS table to know if someone removes a function exclusion from a repsonsibility.

Hi Chetan,
Following is the error message.
"Fiscal year variants have to be attached to a fixed value
Message no. R7674
Diagnosis
You want to partition an InfoCube using time characteristic 0FISCPER or use 0FISCPER in multidimensional clustering (MDC). This is only permitted if you also assign a constant to the fiscal year variants (0FISCVARNT).
Procedure
Assign a constant to the characteristc 0FISCVARNT. To do this, choose "Object-Specific Properties" from the context menu for 0FISCVARNT."
The cube is partitioned by 0FISCPER.
Meanwhile, we have a interim solution to the issue. We will be mapping the 0FISCVARNT in infosource/Transfer rule in our 1st level ODS. We will remove the cube level constant assignment to 0FISCVARNT.
Let me know your opinion.
Thanks

Can't locate Private folder to delete files

After getting a warning that my startup disk was almost full, I discovered that the reason was one very large folder that contained most of the contents of a previous computer. I had put it there three years ago when I bought this MacBook and forgotten all about it. The folder showed up on the left side of the finder and on the desktop. I put both icons in the trash and emptied it. The folders disappeared but the disk remained almost full.
Disk Inventory X tells me that I now have 129 GB in a folder called Private. Inside that folder, Var contains the 129 GB, then Log has 126.6 GB, and finally system.log.1 (89.1 GB) and system.log.0 (35.7 GB) are the apparent culprits. I don't know how I can have 124.8 GB of messages, but given that the hard disk has a capacity of 150 GB, this is obviously the reason it is still almost full. Somehow my deletion of this morning seems to have generated a mass of log messages in its wake.
But how to erase them? I can't find any hint of their existence in Finder or Spotlight.

I've solved this. After I posted I followed a suggested item that came up on the right of the screen and discovered all I had to do was *Go to Folder*. Type /private/var/. This led me to the rogue files (which in fact were not created today, but recently) and delete them.
Of course, I don't know what created them in the first place, so I may not be out of the woods yet.

Can't sign out - even after deleting the app every...

Hi,
I have skype on my iPad mini, iPhone 5 and Macbook pro.
The other night I realized I was getting skype notifications on my phone, even though I wasn't signed in there. I deleted the app from there (after signing in and out and failing to get anywhere), and my iPad, and even my Mac. I still appear signed on, even if I try to change my status to 'invisible' or 'offline'. Any ideas? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to make a new account.
Thanks

By typing /remotelogout on any chat box it forces other instances that you are signed in on other devices.
By typing /showplaces will show the devices where your account is signed in as well.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

How can I reduce total time after deleting a transition

Hello there !
I recently made a quite long 1:51 minute animation with rather complex timeline.
Now, It happened that I want to delete some middle animations (at 0:18 or something) and reduce the overall video time. I am finding myself at totally loss when readjusting each transition.
When I delete the middle transition and try to pull back other transition, I can't since there are already so many of them and they wont move when they collide with each other.

Itunes remembers what u have downloaded (free and paid apps) so if u have to 'authorize' the computer again as a new computer, (u r allowed 5) itunes will just reinstall apps and app info eg saved games scores etc will be still there after restore or update.

After 10.9.4 upgrade, can't recover free space after deleting files

After upgrading to 10.9.4, I decided to backup about 250 Go of films on an external drive, and then I deleted the originals ones on my MacBook Pro. The files disappear, but the free space stayed the same: more than 250 Go of free space couldn't be recovered !!
I generally use the program "Cocktail" to maintain the mac; but in that case, no solution.
I decided to look for the films on the disk, on temp folders and with Spotlight. And I found them ! In the folder: Volumes/HardiskName/.cleverfiles/hlink.ref/
I deleted them directly in the trash and ... I recovered my 250 Go of free space.

That folder is created by the third-party application "Disk Drill." If you don't like what it does, remove it according to the developer's instructions. "Cocktail" is worthless and should be removed in any case.

Can't find imported files after crash

I'm using FCPX with a Macbook Pro 15" (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7). I've been importing old video on mini DV media for the past few weeks. Today FCP crashed during import. None of the material was in the project after reopening. So I imported again. Same thing happened. After a 3rd attempt to import failed, I noticed that my hard drive space was significantly reduced. I assume the imported material is on my hard drive, but I can't locate it. Does anyone have an idea where it might be found?

Hello
As it works for me, I assumes that it may be useful to read:

Can't find a folder after upgrading to maverick and still have the previous OS

Hi,
Last night I upgraded my mac to maverick...my previous OS was in Disk C and since it was showing that disk is full i had to put maverick in disk D..so i have two disks with OS that means less space for my personal use....also while putting maverick in D I already had a folder containing movies in it...When i am searching in spotlight i can get the movie but am not able to find it without it....Also how do i get rid of the previous OS and should i do that??

ishica ghosh,
it sounds like what you’re calling your Mac’s internal space is what I’d call your Mac’s internal hard drive, and what you’re calling your three separate disks are what I’d call three partitions of your internal hard drive.
Let’s begin by approaching these aspects one at a time. On my Mac’s internal drive, only 22 GB of space is being used in total, including Mavericks and perhaps a dozen apps. If your Disk C has been sized to be 119 GB but it is mostly filled up, then it seems as though you must have significantly more apps or data installed there than just your old OS. Do you have more than one administrative user and one standard user under your old OS?
Here’s something that you can try to find out the amount of space that is being used by the user accounts on Disk C: boot into the old OS by holding down an Option key as you power up, use your cursor keys to select the OS on Disk C, and press the Return key. Log in as its administrative user, and from the Finder press Command-Shift-U to open the Utilities folder. Run Terminal.app in that folder. Within the Terminal window, give it the following command:
sudo du -sm /Users/*
This command will ask you for a password; give it the administrative user’s password. The password will not be displayed as you type it. Please copy the output from this command into your reply.

How can I recuperate my emails after deleting an email account, how can I recuperate my emails after deleting an email account

I was trying to change my mail account from POP to IMAP. Had to delete the account. After creating the account again, I found out that I lost all my emails files, Inbox, sent items, etc...Is there a solution te recuperate all these emails ??

Not unless you have backups, or your mail is still on your mail provider's server (check webmail). ALWAYS copy your inbox/sent mails to local folders before you delete a POP mail account from a mail application.
