Connection failed - automatically search for broken alias?

I recently replaced an old network drive. Now - whenever I launch iPhoto I get an error:
Connection failed The server “NASX6 (AFP)” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I think I have an alias somewhere in my library that points to the old network drive but I don't know where. I also have over 40,000 photos in hundreds of folders so searching manually doesn't seem to be an option.
Is there a way to run a search for aliases that are broken - or even just aliases in general?
Thanks,
Matt

No - that is one (of many) why referenced libraries are strongly discouraged
someone posted a method that they claim will reconnect the aliases - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2744741&tstart=0
I have no idea what it does or how it works (or if it does for that matter) - as always backup prior to making changes

  • Firefox randomly does an automatic search for a word I type and redirects to some website. Any ideas why?

    I've been having this problem for awhile now. If I type a word while using firefox (in a form, searching a page for that word/phrase, etc.), Firefox will later (at a seemingly random time) do an automatic search for that word/phrase and redirect me to some site (e.g. if I search a page for 'history', Firefox will at a random time, redirect me to, for example, history.com). I have no idea what might be causing this, and it is really annoying when I'm filling out a form online and Firefox randomly goes to some site, interrupting what I was doing at the time.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Search for broken links to images

    Is there an efficient way to search for broken links to
    images?

    Hi there
    I'm not sure if you are meaning to ask about links inside
    topics that point to images that you are popping up or linking to
    outright or if instead, you mean that some of the images that are
    supposed to be displayed inside topics are maybe missing and you
    wish to know about them.
    One easy way to spot a missing image reference is by using
    the Project Manager. Not sure if you are using RoboHelp 7, 8 or
    older here, but if on 7 or 8 look in the Project Manager pod.
    Otherwise it will be found on the left panel of the application.
    Expand the Images pseudo folder and quickly scan the list of images
    and expand sub folders inside. Any missing image should be listed
    with a red x to indicate the status. You may then examine the image
    properties to see which topic(s) is/are still referencing it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Automatic search for wi-fi connection

    The moment i unlock my cell it asks for searching for wi-fi availability. The messsage appears Search for WLAN. Though i have tried changing settings through Menu>Settings>connection> WLAN but the problem persists. Can we avoid getting this notification again n again.

    Go to settings > connectivity > wlan > options > settings > show wlan availability > never, before that remove the wlan widget from the homescreen.

  • Using Reference Mode and checking for broken alias links

    I use iPhoto 09 in reference mode (where it doesn't import the pictures into the library). I'm aware of the pitfalls of doing this but, long story-short, it's better for my needs this way. I just wanted to know if there's a way to tell iPhoto to check for missing photos or broken alias links. It seems to just pop-up randomly some time after moving or deleting anything and I'd rather take care of business when it's convenient for me not for iPhoto. I don't move my pictures very often but when I do I want to be able to re-link them immediately and not wait for iPhoto to randomly ask me and then I don't know what album or date the picture is from that its asking me about. Thanks in advance!

    I thought you were aware of the pitfalls of running a Referenced Library One of which is that if you move the files iPhoto will lose track of them.
    Unfortunately, iPhoto has no mechanism for checking the integrity of the links - another reason I would not use iPhoto in Referenced Mode.
    You could try use an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com> to check and repair broken aliases. However, if you continue to manage your files without reference to iPhoto then you will continue to have problems.

  • Connection failed on Safari for Mac

    I have a problem on a single site that is using Flash player to broadcast video news. Some time ago using Firefox I've got already a Connection failed error, whilst from another Mac there are no problem at the same time. Switching on Safari seemed to solve the issue as the connection issue wasn't present. Now I've got the same problem on Safari too, whilst on the other Mac everything keeps working flawlessy. I'm focusing the issue about something related to permissions as the user who has problems on that Mac has a managed profile, even though has no restrictions running applications (His dock is blocked to avoid her, a 81 years-old lady, to do a mess with the icons on it(!)), and accessing my admin profile on the same mac everything works fine with that site. I have already rebuild permissions on the disk, but no lack. OS is Leopard. Processor is Intel. Please help. Thank you.

    To andy.... Sheez, thank you for pointing out the Vimeo video. I'd completely forgotten it was there. Some pages rarely get attention. They're just there.
    What are "cursor images"?
    "What OS & Safari version were the problems noted with ?". Wish I could tell you, but even if I'd gotten the information first hand, I'm not sure this particular population would know the answer themselves. (They tend to be quite elderly - and I say that as a 70 year old myself - and probably still use AOL for email.) All I've been told is that several people haven't been able to get the site to work. The few mentioned whom I know do use Safari on an iMac, so I'm jumping to the conclusion that that this applies to most if not all.
    Had a LOL moment when you said "the web inspector went silly." See my response to Bee about Xara Web Designer. Xara would make any web inspector want to go back to being a spell checker.

  • 10.1.3: How to disable ANOYING automatic search for updates?

    We are experiencing very anoying (meant-to-be-a-feature) performance problems when JDev is automatically looking for updates. It happens periodically (not sure... maybe every 30 min?). Is there a way to disable this?? Please please help.

    The automatic Check for Updates only occurs on startup of JDev. Apart from that, the only reason JDev would check for updates is if you manuall select Tools > Check for Updates. So, it's likely the that periodic "check" that you see is coming from somewhere else. Have you installed any extensions?
    The J-Dide.cfu.autoskip=true would be set as a command line argument when running the product, as in:
    jdevw.exe -J-Dide.cfu.autoskip=true

  • Organizer. not able to turn off "automatic search for missing files"

    Organizer starts searching for missing files. files that i have deleted, and the programme just keep on forever searching for those already deleted files. When i try to turn off that function, the organizer just stops. Running the program on Imac 2010.

    That's the thing with the Elements Organizer - once you start managing your media in it you must also use it for all subsequent maintenance so that it retains integrity.
    To try and resolve the Find> all Missing Files crash problem go to File> Manage Catalogs and Repair your current catalog. Follow that with an Optimize. See if you can now find them without the crash.
    If Find> All Missing Files is still causing a crash, you could try File> Reconnect> All Missing Files. As that searches your entire hard disk for one image at a time, and will take a very long time if you did a lot of deletions with your EasyDuplicateFinder program, wait for it to finish examining your catalog then cancel the attempt to find each image. Now in your organizer each of the missing files thumbnails will have a question mark at top left - you can then delete these from the catalog. After you've done quite a few retry Find> All Missing Files again to see if it will run without crashing.

  • Automatic search for new songs on harddrive

    I have other mp3 songs on my computer that are not in my i tunes library, i want to add about 300 other songs but the only way i have found that i can do that is to add the songs 3 at a time. how can i make itunes search for existing mp3s on my hard drive like it did when i first installed itunes

    The Finder can do this for you.
    Just open a Finder window and hit Command-F
    Then, in the search bar set the 'Kind' to 'Movie'.
    Done. It'll find all the movie files on your disk which you can then organize as you see fit.

    20. ClassNotFoundException while using SQL Server 2005 Driver
    Q: I am not able to connect to DB using SQL Server 2005 driver if I use com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver as driver class name. I get [classNotFoundException|http://sapnwnewbie.blogspot.com/2011/09/sapclassnotfoundexception-when-using.html]. Why?
    A: Driver class names for SQL Server 2000 driver and SQL Server 2005 driver are different.
    If you are using SQL Server 2005 driver, then class name should be as follows:
    Driver class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc. SQLServerDriver
    URL :jdbc:sqlserver://<db_Server>:port;databaseName=< db_name>
    If you are using SQL Server 2000 driver , then class name should be as follows:
    Driver class: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver. SQLServerDriver
    and URL is as follows:
    jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<db_server>:port; databaseName=<db_name>

  • Xerox workcentre 7225 print driver fails while searching for networked printer

    HelloJoe,Thanks - So I took those steps and the printer is created as a local printer using a TCP/IP port with the proper IP address for that printer. It appears I can get to its property pages. But when I try to print, the job goes to the queue and it just hangs eventually timing out and it shows error for printing that document... I can ping the IP adddress from the PC and it returns pings. ? 

    This unit is working fine from several other PCs, WIN 7 and WIN XP, in the building. Installing on a WIN7 64 bit PC. During the installation it starts to look for the networked printer and stops, posting the message -  [ Xerox windows common installer has stopped ] , then installer just hangs. I have uninstalled and tried the following versions with the same error -  Date: 2 Jun, 2014Version: 5.351.8.0.0Size: 17.7 MBFormat: EXEand tried  Global Print driver  Date: 15 Dec, 2014Version: 5.404.8.0Format: WWW NOTE - I even tried a manual driver installation which appears to work but the printer fails to print - returning a print error and cancels the job. Help,Jim  

  • Lumia 900 fails to search for LTE 75% of the time,...

    LTE works fine once the phone bothers to look for it, but most of the time when I travel from an area with only HSPA+ (4G) to an LTE area, it stays on HSPA+ forever and never bothers to switch. Sometimes I will notice and turn on and off airplane mode to get the phone to pay attention to LTE. This happens in areas with 5 bars of LTE. I get 4.5ish mbps in HSPA+ there and 10ish mbps in LTE, when the phone notices it's there.
    Does anyone else notice this? One person in the wpcentral forums did. I don't want to return the phone if it's a problem with the software like the other data bug. Unfortunately, I can't google this issue because all the results are about the other data bug that got fixed.

    Feedback? Did any of this help?
