Error with missing files after force quit

I just spent hours building project management pages for work when the program would not respond I was forced to force quit. Then when I try to reopen I get an error and it tells me that all of the fonts and content is missing. When I click on each page it shows me images from templates that have gone away. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

If you have the 'keep' option enabled and let iTunes do the work - take a sound track album as an example - that has various artists and you didn't tell iTunes that the album was a compilation album - then iTunes will put all the tunes into into the iTunes Music folder as Artist>Album>Song - if you have the compilation option enabled for the tunes on that same album - iTunes will nest it as iTunes Music>Compilation>Album>Song. This helps reduce the clutter in the iTunes Music folder with a thousand artists and only one tune for that artist.
With the 'keep' option selected iTunes will move tunes automatically within the iTunes Music folder. Since iTunes moved the files it can keep track of the links.
To create a second library launch iTunes with the 'option' key down and follow the dialog box instructions. I have a 'Master iTunes Library' on my internal HD and several ext HD's with other libraries which I give unique names i.e.: Really Big Music. I give the library data base file its' own unique name so I don't accidentally erase the wrong file. I also keep all the files that you would normally see for an iTunes library on the ext HD (iTunes library. .xml, art work etc.,). If you are into lots of movies and TV Shows you could create a library on and ext HD with only video content and name it accordingly. You would keep all the files for that library including the library 'management' files on the ext HD in the same nesting as you would find on your internal HD.
This strategy works for me. I tried to manage the files by myself at one point and just had to many problems so I decided to not fight City Hall and go with the flow and it works for me.

Problem with missing files after moving folders around

Hi,
I keep my music files manually organized. This is mostly because I have a LOT of music and I don't want to take up all the space on my MBP HD. So my music is split up between 2 external drives and the MBP drive.
I was moving around some folders since I wanted to reorganize my music folders, and iTunes can't seem to find the files anymore, and in order to fix it I see I need to find each and every file I moved (which is really not practical).
I tried editing the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file, but it seems to get rebuilt from some other place where this information is stored.
I also tried putting aliases in the old folders' locations pointing to the new ones (iTunes kept saying the files are missing)
Is there any way to simplify the process of moving folders?? This is really strange that such a feature is missing.
Thanks
Yaron

Pages file document went missing after force quit. cant find it anywhere even after using recovering files softwares. HELP

pages file document went missing after force quit. cant find it anywhere even after using recovering files softwares. HELP
i was working on a document with pages. while transferring files from USB, the 'pinball' thing popped up for the longest time which lead me to force quit the document. the document had been saved before quitting. however, my macbook starts to reboot, and after rebooting that specific file is missing. Before it quit, it says that the file is locked and asked me to create a duplicate, which i clicked yes to.

Hi,
just to say that while waiting for a help
I decided to go back from zero and moved to a second network (thanks i got some few computers available for my tests ) and this time i run in another trouble wich is the subject of a former post (with no reply...) <<HELP!! "Checksum failed" & "Integrity check on decrypted field failed ">>

Seems this always just leads us to problems...
Strange Sun Java Security Team just won't do anything to help us deploy quite easily on one of the most widely-spread platform ( despite we don't like them that much it's MS servers (2000 and 2003) )
Anyway if one could help... on one of the two issues Thanks

Missing edited photos from iPhoto after Force Quit

I just lost about 50 photos. I'm using a separate application to edit my photos before transferring them to my iPhoto Library. A couple hours in to editing I received an error message and had to force quit both iPhoto and my other photo editing app. I had been adding each photo I edited to iPhoto as I went along, then deleted the unedited version (emptying my trashcan also). After reopening iPhoto, all the pictures I had edited were gone and the original versions were back in the library.
Any clues as to how this happened and if it's possible to retrieve my edited photos?

Why are you deleting the unedited versions?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

After Effects CS5 freeze on project load with missing files

Mac with 10.6.4
Open a CS4 project file with missing assets. It opens and converts to a new untitled document. Save the document and close. Open it again and it the application freezes up when loading the last bit of project files. Spinning beach ball forever. No error. It looks to be hitting a few missing files in the project but instead of putting up a "X number of files are missing since you last saved this project" message it locks up.
I tried to open the older file again and find or delete all the missing file references but midway through that process I got the beach ball again. Now it freezes up just loading the older CS4 file.
Any ideas? Much thanks.

Files are on two different external drives, as is the project file itself. What I have done is copy the project file to my internal hard drive, disconnect all external drives, open the file and... it opens. At that point everything is missing, right. But I cleaned up the file, tossed out anything that wasn't totally necessary (this file is two years in the making). I saved it. Leaving it open I plugged the drives back in and started to reconnect the files to their references. I made sure there were no missing files. Closed, quit, and restarted and it worked. I lost a few things but nothing I couldn't rebuild pretty quickly. I suspect one of the reference files was corrupt? Maybe not, because the project file worked in CS4. Maybe a 32bit to 64bit conversion issue? Not sure but I'm back up and running.
Thank you for responding. Hopefully this info will benefit someone else. Twas frustrating. These boards are a great resource.

I have a macbook pro 1.5 years old ver10.7.5 and now having a problem with having to manually force quit after a hour or so of use to clear up memory(unit slows down) should I up grade iso if so to what

I have a macbook pro 1.5 years old ver10.7.5 and now having a problem with having to manually force quit after a hour or so of use to clear up memory(unit slows down) should I up grade iso if so to what and what is the correct procedure? Rick

To determine if it is, boot into Safe Mode and see what happens. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
In the Activity Monitor, what are the Page Outs and Page Ins?

Preview is STILL frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. Help?!? I need to see my files!

Not sure what I did, but Preview continues to stay frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. It seems like it is trying to open all 720 pdf documents I have on my internal memory. That's my best guess... I really don't know what happened. I've tried clicking the 'close windows when closing application' option under general settings and every other thing I've seen listed on help sites... nothing is working. PLEASE HELP?!?

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
Log out and log back in. Launch the application and test.

Epson scanner error message: missing file info.plist

I've been wrestling with an epson scanner/printer I got free with my mbp a year ago. The printer worked fine, but every time I tried installing the scanner drivers, I was foiled by the error message "missing file: info.plist..." I was reduced to scanning on my sloooow dell desktop at work. After a few rounds with epson support, they suggested I install the drivers on a different user account on my computer. Problem solved! It works, even on the original user account.

Missing files after System Recovery, HP Pavillion G62, Windows 7, 64 bit.

My 5 month old laptop is showing signs of slowing down. When this occurs I do a system recovery in an effort to correct any problems. After completion of system recovery I always get the following error;
                         (the system cannot find the file specified (Ox80070002))
                           C:\users\owner\applicationdata\locallow.
                           C:\users\owner\contacts.
                           C:\users\owner\searches.
The notice is in Notepad. None of the files can be found with a search from the main menu. If no refererence to the files can be found how does the computer know they exist? My feeling is that the computer cannot operate up to speed with missing files?
I do have some other oddities occuring but I don't think you can solve anything if files are missing.

Those are user file locations and will not affect windows or how it runs, you can ignore that error.

InDesign CC | Error with indd file - "Cannot open the file...Adobe InDesign may not support file format"

I encountered a very strange error with InDesign CC after saving a file created in CS4. I'd attach the file but I'm not sure how to do this, if I'm able to. The file is 44kb and doesn't seem like it should be (file I saved had a large book cover). Now since the original CS4 file was overwritten using InDesign CC, the file is corrupt and I'm getting the error message displayed below. The file is not open within another application. Has anyone gotten this before?

Thanks for your response Peter. Below is the gibber contained in the first four lines. In the first line, where it reads "mimetypeapplication" and then "indesign-idml-package", I would assume that this should've been a valid idml file.

Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
different causes and also different cures.
With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
Thanks.
Good luck & happy computing!

Premiere freezing and delayed playback, plays audio after force quit

I'm working with 350 hours of AVCHD c100 and h264 from 5D. The media is on a thunderbolt RAID 1 and I'm running CC 2014 on a 2014 Mac Pro with 6 cores, 3gb GPU and 32GB ram.
After about an hour of editing, I get delayed playback, and delayed response from keyboard or trackpad input. I can save - and after that I've waited up to a half an hour while the program is frozen. If it froze during playback, the audio continues to play through the system even after force quit. The only way to start over is a system restart.
any ideas? I've had trouble moving projects in the past, and media cache issues were to blame for similar symptoms, but it's much worse this time

First two things to check are permissions and prefs.
Prefs: go to Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0 and rename the folder "<username>-Profile." When you launch PPro, all new prefs will be written.

After force quitting iTunes, now my phone is "in use" by another user

OK, here's what just happened to me tonight. I had the "beach ball of death" in iTunes, so I used a force quit. Now when I plug in my week old iPhone 4, I'm getting the message that this phone is already in use by another user on this computer. Huh?!? For one thing, I am the ONLY user although I do have a "guest" account, but I'm logged in on my regular account.
I've tried restarting iTunes, same message. Every time I plug in the phone it's doing it now. So, how am I supposed to sync my phone now?
Has anyone else had this problem after force quitting iTunes? Any ideas?

Nope, tried that, didn't work. 3 complete reboots didn't worked either. However, on the 4th complete computer reboot, it worked!! I don't know why, but I'm happy that I can sync again.
I guess it just reinforces the old, "if at first you don't succeed...."
