Can't replace missing footage, but can reimport it.

I've condensed about 100 projects into one. Did "Consolidate" and "Remove Unused".  There are a few "missing" elements.  But when I go to replace them (either double clicking or Replace Footage > File), I get an odd message about PNG errors.
Now I get this error on anything I try to replace: AI, PSD, TGA, and of course PNGs.  
Strangely, though, I can freshly import (File>Import) PNGs and the other file types just fine. It's just this replacement business has got me stuck. 
Any ideas how to make it possible to replace footage? Any shortcuts to work around this problem? (I obviously don't want to open 100 projects and option-drag replace every missing layer)
CS5 10.0.1.19, Mac OS X 10.6.7

Now I solved the solution!!!!
Refer to this post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2470873&stqc=true
To briefly saying, I deleted the file 8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858 in the backup directory. Then I restored from the backup (without backing up again during the restoration, if iTunes asks). As per "Loveturtle" in the mentioned post said, the file 821xxx contained the corrupted APN. If you want to try it out, read the post for clearer explanation.
However, I didn't success at the first attempt. I did it twice on my laptop and once on my office PC, and succeed on the latter. Not sure what happened for the first two attempts. The results: everything's back (contact, sms, app data, photos), but music and video gone but I can sync from my iTunes later. Only annoying just the messy app icons arrangement. MMS not working if Cellular Data is off - but that's what it is supposed to be as an original setting device.
Good luck!

  • Can I use render files to replace missing media in FCPX

    I lost some media, but I still have render files. They are weird files that don't open in any other software and have no filename extensions. Can I use these existing render files to replace missing original media? Or maybe a better question is....what kind of files are these render files for FCPX?

    Hello
    I'm not sure at all but first things first. Try simple list of commands in shell :
    #!/bin/bash
    Render -r sw file1;
    Render -r sw file2;
    Render -r sw file3;
    Each command separated by semi-colon will be executed one by one.
    Unless command 'Render' exits before finishing the rendering, the above shell script should do what you want.
    Good luck,

    I've noticed that once you miss a call on FaceTime on a desktop Mac, it won't work properly again until you restart the machine.
    I sent in Feedback so we'll see how that goes.

  • Trying to instal adobe flash player & firefox says theres missing plugins but when I try to install them it says no suitable plugins found so I can't install AFP

    I've been having problems with my internet timing out when I try to access pages & firefox says I may have an old version of adobe flash player which is unstable so I've been trying to install a new version. Firefox then says theres missing plugins but when I click on the install missing plugins button it says no suitable plugins were found so I don't know how to get it to install AFP
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == everytime I try to install Adobe Flash Player

    Try this simple fix... I just got it to work...
    First visit [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html] download and run the flash player uninstaller.
    After that I simply ran the standalone flash player installer to be found here... [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe]
    This fix doesn't solve the auto-update issue in Firefox, but at least your Flash will hopefully work again in Firefox until a more permanent fix is made available from Mozilla...

  • Missing (most, but not all) masters from managed project

    I just found that I have a one project in my library where most of the raw master files (NEF) are missing. The project contains 160 photos, but only 14 masters are present and these are randomly distributed in the project (not sequential files). My entire library is managed (not referenced). All photos were imported at one time.
    All the edited versions appear in the browser with no problem, including the "full" version and the Quick Preview ("P"). Oddly, when I press "M" to view the master image, it displays correctly with no adjustments, but the message "Master Image not Found" appears where it would normally say "Master Image." I only noticed the masters were missing when I tried to export a version and got the follwing message:
    "Versions with unavailable master files cannot be exported. The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."
    I searched in the library and vaults for original the filenames, but they do not exist in either location. If all the masters were missing, I would have concluded that I imported that project as a referenced file and later deleted the masters, but 14 of the 160 are still there.
    I have two questions:
    First, does anyone have any idea how the master files could be deleted so I can avoid this in the future? I am beginning to think this is simply a corruption of the database (not reassuring).
    Second, is there any way to recover the versions that clearly exist in the project so I can reimport these as masters? While viewing them in the browser, I can zoom in to the original resolution on both the master and the edited version, but can't perform any further edits to the image (although I can add metadata). I'd be happy to retrieve a JPEG version, even though it appears I have lost the original raw file.
    By the way, I have already performed all three library repair options on Aperture launch (Repair Permissions, Repair Database and Rebuild Database).
    Thanks for any help,
    Dave

    From the OP's other thread:
    I have three vaults (on three HDs) backing up one Aperture library (two onsite and one for offsite backup). Two of the vaults simultaneously became corrupted and I could no longer back up to them.
    That plus the live library seems like 3 to me.
    You wrote:
    With managed-Masters one can back up a broken Library to a dozen perfect drives and all that results is a dozen identically broken Libraries.
    Which is why backing up without verify the backup is a meaningless exercise.  This goes for any backup method, How do you know your TM or CCC backup or simple copy of your masters is good?
    If the Masters are backed up prior to Aperture the problem resolves (versions still lost).
    And this is true also for managed libraries.
    If (backed up) Referenced Masters are used and the Library becomes corrupt the problem resolves (versions still lost).
    Not sure what you are trying to say here.
    Proper use of Vaults also save Versions, but only prior to the time that the Library became corrupted - and we do not necessarily know the instant a Library becomes corrupt.
    Proper use of vaults also saves masters if the library is managed. Ans see above for why we verify backups.
    Look I agree that the masters need to be backed up in other than the vault (or TM or CCC or any one place). I use the Aperture  backup  dialog in the input window:
    But once the masteres are backed-up referenced masters has no inherent saftey advantage over managed masters. In fact if all you do is backup before import and then place the masters on their own disk they are slightly less secure as they are only in two places.
    In my operation I have my masters in three places, the import backup location the library and the vault I create from that library. In fact I have multiple vaults so in fact I have my masters in a minimum of 5 places. And its all fairly transparent.
    So continue to sing the praise of referenced masters, for some and in some situations they are the way to go But from a security standpoint they have no advantage over managed masters.

  • Replace #Missing with 0...

    Hi All,
    I have to replace #Missing with 0 in one BSO application.
    set cache high;
    set clearupdatestatus off;
    set notice low;
    SET MSG INFO;
    SET CALCPARALLEL 4;
    FIX(@LEVMBRS("Years",0),@LEVMBRS ("Period",0),@LEVMBRS("Entity",1),@LEVMBRS ("HeadqtrsOrFirm",0),@LEVMBRS ("AgentAccount",2),@LEVMBRS ("AgentAccount",3),@LEVMBRS ("AgentAccount",1),@LEVMBRS ("AgentAccount",0));
    "AgntCnt" (
    IF ("AgntCnt"==#Missing)
    "AgntCnt"==0;
    ENDIF
    ENDFIX
    But nothing happened...
    Can you please let me know how to change it.
    Thanks,
    Prathap

    why on earth would you want to do this? This would make the BSO cube huge and long to calc. There are other ways to simulate this without actually loading all the zeros.
    1. Add a dimension to the cube (or use an existing dimension) with a member like input. the have a dynamic formula on a second member called reporting with the formula If(Input == #missing) 0; ENDIF
    The users would retrieve using the reporting member,
    2. In smart View or the Essbase Add-in in the options replace #missing with (0) that will return a numeric zero for #missing. If you are using smart View you could also use #numericzero it does the replacement and has additional functionality if you send data

  • VOB files are missing footage that's on the DVD

    Hi all,
    I'm putting together a memorial film. The family gave me all their home movies that have been put on DVDs. I'm using MPEG streamclip to convert the VOB files to DV files that I can import and edit in iMovie (or FCP).
    Here's my problem: The VOB files are missing footage that I can absolutely see when I play the DVD. I've tried exporting the files to AVI and .mov files but the result is the same.
    Can someone help me figure out how to access that missing footage? It's very strange.
    Thanks!

    David--great idea--thank you! Unfortunately the result is the same. I am beginning to wonder if the DVD wasn't what's that called...finished? properly. There it all is on the TV but I have not figured out anything, despite great ideas and strategies that would give me a different result.
    Thanks again!

  • How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

    Hello all!
    Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
    How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
    I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

    Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

  • VOB files: Missing footage that is on the DVD

    Hi all,

    Thanks!

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download?

    Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download? All my purchased albums are showing on iTunes Store and my iPad but won't download onto new iphone. I just bought another album on my phone and that won't download either. My phone is on IOS 6.1.3 iPad is on IOS 7.0.4

    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Auto replace missing fonts durring script place

    I have a script that runs on startup that places a word document in a new indesign document. The problem is that if there are fonts in the word document that indesign can't find, then we get a message saying there are missing fonts and a series of javascript errors because there's a dialog open.
    Is there an option to have it automatically replace missing fonts with a specified font?
    InDesign CS5
    Windows

    Form my understanding you can't replace missing fonts until the document is open. To avoid the missing fonts modal dialog, you can set
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    before opening the document and then make your font substitutions. Don't forget to reset the userInteractionLevel when your script is done!

  • Need to replace my iPhone -- but laptop was stolen. Please help!

    Hey all,
    So it's been a rough few weeks. About two weeks ago, the Macbook I was syncing my iPhone 3GS with was stolen while I was out of town. I made the mistake of not backing up my data, and I lost everything... documents, music, movies, etc.
    Though I lost a lot of it, I realized that a good amount of music, movies, and TV shows are still on my iPhone 3GS.
    Fast forward to this past Monday, my iPhone 3GS craps out on me. It turns on, but won't accept any input commands from the screen, buttons, silence switch, etc. Not only that, but the sleep/wake button got jammed.
    Now I know its likely that Apple would replace my iPhone, but that would lead to losing all that media I have on the device! My entire music library, which I've spent years building, remains only on my iPhone. I have about 30 GB taken up on my 3GS.
    *Do Genius Bar folk have the capability to transfer media off an iPhone onto a computer of another phone?*
    *If not, should I look into third party software?*
    I'd appreciate any and all help on resolving this problem... big thanks.

    Only if the phone is working. But if it were then you could do it also. If you connect the phone to a computer does it show up in iTunes? If it does you can try "Transfer Purchases" on the iTunes File Menu.
    *If not, should I look into third party software?*
    Again, Only if the phone is working. There are third party apps that can retrieve SOME of the content of the phone.
    I'd appreciate any and all help on resolving this problem... big thanks.
    I think you are out of luck by now. No backup of your computer, and when you lost the computer you didn't bother to save what was on the phone, which would have been possible as long as the phone was working.

  • Missing files, but none have an "!" next to it.

    Every time I find a missing file, I get a message saying I have 3 more missing files, but none in my Library have an "!" next to it.  The message is driving me nuts. How can I find these three files?

    The ! in iTunes means that iTunes can't find the actual music file. See:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    If necessary, you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
