CD drive problems "Directory doesn't exist"

Seems like everybody has some variant of this problem. I'm having difficulty getting the CD drive to read the disks I put in. I'm using PCman as my file manager and when I try to access the CD drive I get a pair of error messages that simply say "..." This is followed by a third error saying "Directory doesn't exist." My HAL is configured for hotplugging if that matters.
I've been wrestling with this for a couple days and tried several solutions from both the wiki and the forum. Any help with fixing, or just suggestions on how to better diagnose the problem would be much appreciated.

I had this problem using hal, Slim, openbox and pcmanfm. Solved it using this post
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65070
which I found in the Wiki/Table of Contents/Hardware Detection & Troubleshooting/Hal/Permission Denied page.
I only had to follow the two steps in the PS, after which I could access cd's as normal user.
Hope this helps.

Build error 'CFURLGetFSRef failed - maybe the output directory doesn't exist?' Eclipse

I downloaded and installed the Adobe InDesign Plug-in Editor as an Eclipse distribution, the InDesign SDK and XCode on my iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.10. Creating an InDesign project works fine. I only have to drag-and-drop elements on a form and add some actions.
Unfortunately, I can't get the Ant Build working. I followed the video-tutorials on the Adobe labs site, but I'm still getting this error:
CFURLGetFSRef failed - maybe the output directory doesn't exist?
The error seems to be in the "/Adobe InDesign CS3 Products SDK/devtools/bin/odfrc-cmd" file. I guess it's a SDK problem.
Does anyone know what the reason is for this error? And maybe how I can fix it?

This is the full output.

'Source Directory doesn't exist' error in sender file adapter

Hi All,
I m getting the error 'Source Directory doesn't exist' in sender file adapter.
The source file directory doesn't exist in XI Server. Its in a different system.
gone through other sdn t hreads.
the options seems to be
1. either to mount the Source Directory on the XI Server.
2. Install a FTP server and use FTP protocol.
My doubt is that, could nt we give necessary access rights to the XIAFUSER whihc will access the Source Directory?
Wont it be sufficient?

Hi Aarthi,
If you are using system other than XI, then you have to use FTP server
else check you have proper authorization of read/write to the source directory...
and check the name of it as well, as it is case sensetive and you have provided the proper details of server.
check these blog as well...

Why is my Firefox Aurora seems to be located in Program Files (x86)\Aurora\updated\firefox.exe, but that directory doesn't exist on my computer?

I'm using FusionDisplay to get a taskbar for my second monitor, and the taskbar has worked well until now. Now when I open pinned Aurora, it opens a new application and doesn't merge with the pinned down application icon.
It seems to locate the Firefox.exe to Program Files (x86)\Aurora\updated\firefox.exe, which doesn't exist. Also windows task manager right click menu for firefox.exe won't open anything when I click Open File Location.

Hi. I'm having the same problem with Final versions of Mozilla applications (FF and TB) on Win7 x64 as well. I don't have Display Fusion or the likes.
This started around FF15, and happens about every other update since. This is Very frustrating. Restarting the computer fixes it though. I'd never believe I'd have to restart the computer after pretty much about every update, major or minor. Now this happened to me for both FF19->19.02, and TB 17.0.3->17.0.4 at the same time. No other software running meanwhile.
This happens for about the 3 or 4th time. It's frustrating to have to restart every now and then for a browser update.
I'll stick to a version for both (19.0.2 and 17.0.4) forever, thanks Mozilla! Couple that with the inability of most versions of TB to sustain a longer uptime than 10-15 days with no addons and just 4 pop accounts with 50-100 emails and just one with 1000.

Where do I place third party plug folders for effects in Final Cut 10.1 under Mavericks? The /user/library/application support/final cut directory doesn't exist on my computer.

I can't seem to find the proper directory to copy third pary plugins for use under Final Cut 10.1. The ../library/appliation support/final cut pro directory doesn't seem to exist. Where do I put these files?

Um - they didn't go there with 10.0.x either. All the effects, titles, transitions, and generators in FCP X are Motion templates and get placed in user/movies/motion templates, into the appropriate folder depending on the type of effect.

11i Class directory Doesn't exists in R12

Hi,
We did lot of customizations in 11i files. Most of the files are referring to the location oracle.apps.per.irc.lov.webui in 11i. But this path doesn't exists in R12 and the customizations are failing in R12 as the class files doesn't exists in that path. Instead of that path R12 has the path oracle.apps.irc.lov.webui
How does Oracle fix this issue. Does it provide any patch to fix the issue or do we need to correct all the customizations to refer the new path.
Thanks,
HC.

HC,
In general the answer is YES. But it is more complicated than that. If the entire query changed, then your substitution may not be right. It will substitute but not be right. You need to evaluate all customizations on an individual basis in regards to the assumptions from 11i and changes in R12. Sorry but there is no magic bullet to make them all work for R12 in one fell swoop.

'A file or directory doesn't exist' error during java stack update

Dear All,
I've done a fresh installation of solution manger system on IBM iseries box (OS400 & DB2 combo).
As part of post installation activity, I've updated the kernel patch, updated the ABAP stack to sp4, and am currently doing the java stack update.
I'm struck with one error. The log file shows:
Feb 23, 2012 7:54:35 PM Error: /usr/sap/SLM/SYS/global/j2eeclient/META-INF/SAP_MANIFEST.MF (A file or directory in the path name does not exist.)

I've checked the file system and found that the directory META-INF is not present in /../../global/j2eeclient
Please suggest a solution.
Thank You.

Hi,
This is an easy solution:
From the OS command line, do WRKLNK, go to /usr/sap/SLMS/global/j2eeclient, at the top where it shows the directory, do a copy on this. Then at the command line type MD, do F4, paste the directory name in the first line, then after j2eeclient add /META-INF'
IMportant*** Make sure the full directory name is in single quotes.*
*On the next 2 lines change INDIR to RWX. Then press enter and re-run your job. If you have any problems let me know.

Directory doesn't really exist - linked to another

I have discovered a weird issue with my Lightroom catalog that, unfortunately, may have resulted in me inadvertently deleting some images. Some folders in the Folders pane are somehow "linked" for the lack of a better term. For example, I have the following two folders:
2006_04_29
2006-04-29
I'm trying to clean up my catalog so I've been moving/renaming (through Lightroom) to fix the issue. The weird thing is if I open an image in 2006_04_29 and look at the system file info, it shows it actually lives in 2006-04-29. Unfortunately, this is after I deleted a dozen or so folders.
I'm not sure if this may have happened back in the Lightroom 2/3 days before I knew not to move things outside of Lightroom, but I'm surprised the catalog optimization or synchronization both didn't fix it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Kevin

C:\programdata\apple computer\installer cache doesn't exist

I can't uninstall or upgrade QuickTime. The installer alerts with "Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\ GetLastError: 5".
The C:\ProgramData\ directory doesn't exist on my system (Win 7 Prof 64 bit on Dell laptop).
How can I get this program uninstalled and/or upgraded?
Thanks

It will most likely be there. (It's hidden by default on a Windows Vista or 7 system.)
The 5 suggests either permissions trouble or file damage. Perhaps let's first try checking on disk damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Attempting to upgarde itunes and I get an error message looking for "an alternate path to a folder containing 'iTunes.msi' location. I've searched my hard drive and the file doesn't exist. What to do?

This worked...found on a prior discussion:
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
From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations' click on 'download@majorgeeks'
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
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:
Restart your computer.
Re-download Itunes (latest version form Itunes website) and install. It worked!

ITunes doesn't load - saying "Directory iTunes doesn't exist" ????

Dear all,
I have reinstalled iTunes 7.xx and get the same error when trying to start iTunes. The error message tells me: Directory "iTunes" doesn't exist in Dir: "Eigene Musik", but it exists. What am I doing wrong ?
Could I please get some help ?
Thanks in advcance.
Best regards,
Manfred

hmmmm. does that message seem like a German version of the following message?
"The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder."
if so, the following document is the best place to start:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:
