CANT FIND FILE OR CORRUPT

I am having more and more trouble opening up files in 4.5. It used to happen infrequently, now it is happing often, like 5 times today. When I open the Xcelsius file it will think for some time and then tell me the file is missing or corrupt, then when you click OK, it says excel is busy. Then it gets in the loop. You have to act like you are opening up another file to get it to stop. It is beginig to happen on every other file. Then my CPU will start screaming and it will seize up if I do not shut it down quickly.
What is strange is in the past, I could go to a back up file and recreate. Today though, I went to same type of template in different folder and even went about 5 weeks back on back up and still get same error. I know this is not right because one of the files I had backed up last friday and worked on it on tuesday, but it still says that friday run was not good. The file it says it cannot find just ran in numerical order for the 6 time or so I tried to pulll it up, like im59.xlms. Something on the like, but the excel files for each template were all save separately, some in different folders. Does not make since that all files for a particular timeplate would all be corrupt, when saved at differents times and places.
I have downloaded all service paks and hot fixed.
When I try to open in Xcelsius 2008, I get same message.
I have many many templates and many many hours invested, I an now afraid to try to open more, not sure if problem in software is causing this or not. I hate to invest time to rebuild, as I have the last 3 days because it could happen to them.
I have looked through other strings and the only answer that was close was other instnaces of excel running, but I have look in task manager and no other excel running.
At one time I thought this might be caused by having excel (2007) open first, but I now make sure I open Xcelsius first, no help today.
I have also wondered if it has something to do with moving from a model with old excel to a model with excel 2007 or vice versa????
I have had 4.5 for about 2 years and got 2008 at begining of 2008
Any help would be greatly appreciated I am getting very frustrated.

It seems that 4.5 is somewhat unstable. After going throught a paid case of tech support for the last 5 days, there is no solution. It could and most likely will continue to happen. I am going to migrate to 2008 and import and rework all old models then delete 4.5 in the future.
Sorry for no better news.

Spotlight cant find files after 2-3 hours

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "mdworker" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Select the most recent 50 or so messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are long runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Do the same with the search string "mds".

CHANGED FOLDER NAME IN FINDER- NOW IPHOTO CANT FIND FILE

I was trying to organize my iphoto files through the finder. So I renamed and grouped similar files. Now the photos cannot be found in iphoto.
How do I reset the folder settings?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The point of iPhoto is that you do all your work in the iPhoto Window. It does the work in the background.
Then if you need the files to upload somewhere or for some other reason:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

TS2776 why does my computer give me a cant find files notice when syncing my ipod? only about 1/2 of the songs transfer to computer out of the ipod. and the file must be on the ipod because i can play the song on it. i want to transfer all songs to my ipa

why can't i transfer all songs on my ipod to my computer and then to my new ipad? i keep getting a message saying that about half of the files couldn't be found, and only about 1/2 of the songs went to the ipad when i first synced. the files must be on the ipod, because i can play all 448 from the ipod when disconnected from the computer. and all songs show up on my devices at itunes and can be played on the computer. but only about 1/2 are going to the ipad. i am no tech genius, obviously, but could someone please help me? thanks

Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party. It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did. There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over. The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

HT204406 cant find file.. itunes.msi from old itunes ..wont update or uninstall

i can not remove or update itunes...missing file itunes.msi

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hard drive half full but cant find files to delete

just inherited a mac book pro coming from a mac mini and it sees everything was the same even after upgrading to lion but for some reason the hard drive is half full but i thought i deleted all files the previous owner had so id like to be able to get rid of the unneccesarily used space but dont know how to simply do it without fully starting over

In as much as the previous owner did not erase and reinstall the OS when he sold you the MBP the best thing to do is to start over. Do an Erase & Install of the OS. Then you can set up the MBP with your own information and password.

Itunes 9.2 can no longer find files.

Using Mac 10.4.1, With itunes open, the music files are all there, but when I click to play, it says they cant find file. All the files are on the main hardrive where they have always been. Not sure what to do. Garage Band also does not mix down to ituens as it has in the past, but goes to the hard drive where the other music files are store. It appears a new itunes has been created as well but it is empty.

Something has happened to breaks your links. Have you verified your hard drive with Disk Utility? You may have directory corruption.
As for solutions, the only one I can think of is to rebuild your iTunes library.
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
I suspect you haven't recently updated or else you could try:

Firefox Can't find file in location specified.

Cant find file at location:
/Users/yonathantareke/Desktop/â€œsave.htmlâ€
I am trying to send information from my form to the specified location but firefox cant seem to locate the file on my computer. It is a simple action method from an HTML form.

You get such â€œsave.htmlâ€ characters if text with Unicode characters is interpreted as ANSI
*http://digwp.com/2011/07/clean-up-weird-characters-in-database/
It would be best to avoid such special characters in file names and remove or replace them with valid characters when saving the file.

Spotlight still can't find files that are right in front of me

Sigh. I'm noticing that Spotlight still cant find files correctly. Maybe I'm the stupid one here, but when I do a search on "This Mac" for a "File Name", and the "Kind" is set to "Folders", and I set the word "Wonder" as the search parameter, how come it results in no items, yet I'm LOOKING at a folder called "The Wonder Stuff" in my music library? All the Spotlight file types are checked "on" and nothing is being excluded or is set to private.
God, I long for the System 9 find. I really do. Almost every day.

Hi,
When you say "Spotlight," are you using the text-input box that displays when you click the magnifying glass at the upper right-corner of the menubar? Or are you pressing command-F in the Finder and using a Finder window?
When I type "Aimee" in the Spotlight text input box mentioned above, it returns/finds the "Aimee Mann" folder that is in my Music folder.
Have you checked out EasyFind? It might meet your needs.
Hope this helps!
