Ever since I upgraded iPhoto to 9.5, my camcorder videos aren't all downloading properly  and I have several of the videos to say a necessary data reference could not be found.  I also can see many of the pixels on the video footage that was downloaded???

What version of iPhoto and system are you using?  Also what camera make and model are you using?
See if you can download all of the videos to a folder on the Desktop using Image Capture and import  into iPhoto from that folder.

    Help, just got a new hard drive installed and now my videos in iPhoto say, "a necessary data reference could not be found"

    Not sure what happened but I was able to click on the movie, go to File then Reveal in Finder, then drag it to my desktop and then drag it back into iPhoto and it worked. 

  • Error -2000 a necessary data reference could not be found

    I'm trying to play a DVD movie in QuickTime. When I drag from the file and drop on top of the QuickTime icon I get this message.
    Error -2000 a necessary data reference could not be found
    I have followed the directions I found on the web site.
    In Windows Explorer, double-click the file or drag it to the QuickTime Player application icon.
    Choose File > Open and select the file.
    What is the problem? Is there no list of QuickTime error messages and what they mean? I've been looking everywhere for something that applies to me.

    Try going back to QuickTime 7.4, we've seen the same problem occur with the 7.5 update. How did you make the .mov file that plays all of the files? For us, the problem shows up with reference movies (such as that .mov) made on a Mac, but works fine if it is created on Windows.

  • Iphoto .MOV issue - "a necessary data reference could not be resolved" when opening certain videos

    I have recently perchaced a brand new Mac Book Pro. The apple store very kindly tranfered everything from my old Mac Book to my new Mac Book Pro. I keep my iphoto library on and external hardrive, which seems to be working fine since I moved everything. BUT..."some' movies won't play from my iphoto library and a window appears saying "a necessary data reference could not be resolved". I can find these videos when I search for them in finder manually (I backed everything up before I transfered everything into a file called TEMP VIDEOS), but why can't my iphoto application find them, like it used to...it still still should right!? Very frustrating.
    Please help..
    Thanks

    Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.

  • I cannot access my videos anymore in Iphoto. ' A necessary data reference could not be resolved '

    Hi, I can no longer access the videos in my iphoto library. It still shows the screenshot and the duration of the video, but when i open, i get the following message ' A necessary data reference could not be resolved'. What can i do ?
    Tried also to export, but to no avail.
    Thx for suggestions,
    Oscar

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    Did you apply any updates or upgrades to iPhoto or the system between the time you last were able to view the video files and now?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • TS5168 some of my pictures say that the necessary data reference could not be resolved. help

    some of my pictures say that the necessary data reference could not be resolved. help

    It means iPhoto can't find the file.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Used "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" now my video files in iPhoto have an error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved."

    As the title states, I used the app "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" to get rid of 6 GB of duplicate pictures.  However, now when I go to view a video in iPhoto, I get the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved."  I am able to view the video clips (with sound, etc.) in Finder.  However, I want to know if there is a way to restore them in iPhoto?????
    Thanks,
    Leslie
    I see that the suggested solution is to restore from back-up... is there anyway to do that without bringing in ALL of the duplicate photos I just deleted?

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

  • The form template failed to load. IAssociation could not be found using criteria

    Hello,
    I'm using the project used in  the "TechEd OSP309 Session" to integrate CRM 2011 with SharePoint 2010.
    I successfully made the integration. I can create external lists in SharePoint, execute de CRUD operations and submit them to CRM. Also the entities relations are shown with the entity picker, this works 100%.
    What i'm trying to do now is edit the form with InfoPath. The only thing I'm doing is opening the form in InfoPath, and publish it to SharePoint.
    The problem occurs when trying to edit a item with the new form. I receive the folowing error:
    "The form template failed to load. (User: XXXX, Form Name: Template, IP: , Request:XXX, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:entity:-AutoGen-XXX, Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: IAssociation could not be found using criteria
    'Name=XXX'.
    IAssociation could not be found using criteria 'Name=XXX'.). "
    Any suggestion? What is causing this problem? This only happens in entities with reference to other entities.

    When trying to view the InfoPath form for the a SharePoint list (on PWA), we are getting the error:
    Correlation ID:e40f2d85-dbe3-4659-9786-a9f69a406ec6.  
    The event log shows:
    The form template failed to load. (User: POET\dgreenwaldt, Form Name: Template, IP: , Request: http://stanzadev2/ResearchPWA/Lists/Project Economics/AllItems.aspx, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:list:-AutoGen-2012-10-22T19:08:52:974Z, Type:
    ArgumentException, Exception Message: Value does not fall within the expected range.)
    The form worked perfectly fine for several days and then started throwing this error.
    Since this started happening, it can now be reproduced in other lists using a custom InfoPath form, but only seems to occur when editing the item, not adding a new one.
    Steps:
    1. Create a custom list on PWA.
    2. Customize the form in InfoPath.
    3. Add a new item via the form (on PWA, not in InfoPath filler).
    4. Edit the item and the error occurs.
    I have the same issue. do you have a resolution?

    Please shade light on this.
    Thanks,
    Manny

    Hi Manny_R,
    According to your description and error message, before you installing Data-Teir Application Framework components, we need to verify if you choose the right version of Data-Tier Application Framework. For more information, see:
    http://alexw.co.uk/2013/05/cannot-find-dac-assembly-microsoft-sqlserver-dac-dll/
    In addition, Microsoft SQL Server  Data-Tier Application Framework requires Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types, and Microsoft SQL Server Transact-SQL ScriptDom (SQLSysCLRTypes.msi and SQLDOM.msi). You need to install both SQLSysCLRTypes.msi
    and SQLDOM.msi.
    There is a detail about data-tier application (DAC) features in SQL Server 2012, you can review it.

  • After I updated my iPhone with IOS 6.1 my old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. On the Apple site the Manage my Apple ID says my old Apple ID could not be found. How do I get this to stop?

    I just updated my iPhone with the newest update IOS 6.1. My old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. All the passwords I type in do not work. I no longer have access to this email which is my old Apple ID. After installing the newest software update my old Apple ID came up to finish configuring. Since I no longer have access to this Apple ID and email account and after trying some passwords I skipped the step. It then said FaceTime, iCloud (which I do not use), and more may not work. I clicked that it was OK since I could not remember the password to my old Apple ID. I then went to my settings to be sure my newer email was my Apple ID by typing in my current Apple ID and password.  Also, I went to Manage my Apple ID online and my old Apple ID could not be found. Is it OK I skipped that step in the IOS 6.1 configuration? How do I get my old Apple ID to stop popping up?

    Blue
    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • After Effects warning - The file Plug-ins/cineware ae default.c4d could not be found

    Hello,
    Running AE CC and whenever I start a New MAXON Cinema 4D File I get this error message.
    After Effects warning: The file '/Applications/Adobe After Effecgts CC/Plug-ins/MAXON CINEWARE AE/(CINEWARE Support)/default.c4d' could not be found.
    I looked and the files are still in the plugin folder and all looks well. Can't seem to find any specific info on the forums or when I checked the FAQ.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    When did you install the 12.2 update? The reason that I ask is that we had a brief problem when we first uploaded the update, in which not all of the Cinema 4D components were included. That problem only lasted for a few hours, but it meant that people who updated immediately after we released the update had problems like the one that you're describing.
    Try uninstalling and then re-installing After Effects. This will ensure that you are downloading the current and known-good update files.

    it usually involves contacting their tech support and asking
