Everytime I try to export my slideshow I get the "The operation can't be completed because the item can't be found." message. How do I fix?

Trying to export a pretty basic slideshow to our desktop/iTunes and I keep getting the "The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found." message when I try to export. What am I doing wrong?

What is your iPhoto version?
Your slideshow may contain a photo or a video where the original file cannot be found. Try to find the offending item.
You could duplicate the slideshow (select it in the source list, ctrl-click, and the select "Duplicate").
Then remove half of the photos from the copy and try to export this partial slideshow. if it works, you will know, the problematic photo or video is in the other half.
Keep duplicating the slideshow, removing photos from the copy and testing with smaller sets of photos, until you know exactly, which photo it is.
Then select this photo and use the command "File > Reveal Original" to see, if the original file is still there.
Check the revealed original, if Preview can display it. If the file is o.k., copy it and remport it. Add the new imported photo or video to your slideshow.
If the original file should really be missing, restore it from your backup.

  • I have a MacBook pro 13 early 2011 model. For some reason it stopped working and everytime I try to start it up it beeps and does nothing. Did it happen to someone else. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    My Mac won't start, all it does is beep and I don't know what's wrong

    Most likely a RAM issue.
    How many beeps?
    Click here >  Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • When I try to copy my iTunes music to my music folder on my external drive it says "The operation can't be completed because the item "audio" is in use." How do I get this to go away so I can copy the files?

    I have never gotten this error before. I also tried restarting my computer but it says the same thing. I had no problem copying my documents or photos. Please help!

    Quit iTunes if it's running. Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select My Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "iTunes" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select and quit any process shown in the process table. Try the copy again.

  • Why do i get quicktime error -50 everytime i try to export a project?

    why do i get quicktime error -50 everytime i try to export a project?

    I had this -50 error when exporting my movie. I tried multiple things to fix that, when I discovered the solution.
    When you insert/add/overwrite a clip into the timeline, sometimes FCPX does not generate the vignettes associated to the video (only the audio waveforms are correctly displayed). You can read the clip successfully, apply effects and do everything with it in the timeline, but when exporting this corrupted clip, the -50 error will occur. The solution is then to remove this clip and add it again (it should not bug twice on the same clip!).
    So I do not know whether you are in the same situation, but I hope this could help.

  • TS2167 I am running OS X 10.8.2 and IWeb 3.0.4 (601) and everytime I try to publish my website I get an unexpected error and it does not publish my changes. My website is pretty simple, mostly made up of iPhoto albums in different categories.

    I am running OS X 10.8.2 and IWeb 3.0.4 (601) and everytime I try to publish my website I get an unexpected error and it does not publish my changes. My website is pretty simple, mostly made up of iPhoto albums in different categories.

    Where are you publishing to?  Can you publish successfully to a folder on your hard drive? Have you read this webpage: Publish iWeb site using FTP. It may have a clue to where the problem is.
    A quick troubleshooting fix is
    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    However, when you delete the preference file you probably will have to use the app described below to select and open your domain file with iWeb:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • I have bought a 25Euro Itunes Card from Germany and i have a account which i made in Hong kong store, but everytime i try to redeem it a error comes up with "This code must be redeemed in the German storefront" What do i do?

    I have bought a 25Euro Itunes Card from Germany and i have a account which i made in Hong kong store, but everytime i try to redeem it, a error comes up with "This code must be redeemed in the German storefront" What do i do?

    Sell the German iTunes card to someone who can use it in the German
    AppStore and use the money to buy a card for the Hong Kong store.
    iTunes cards are only valid in the country of original purchase. You cannot
    use a German card in Hong Kong.

    Everytime i try and download any apps i get an error message telling me that part of the file seems to be corrupted.  How do i resolve this issue

    Could be.
    This may be hard to believe, but I think my problem was that the built-in WiFi adapter on my HP desktop had
    gotten flaky. I switched to a Buffalo USB WiFi and the problem immediately disappeared. I never saw any errors, etc. from the Ralink adapter. Strange.  Might try another type of connection to the Internet.

  • When I try to export from LR I get an internal error message :  An internal error has occurred ?:0 attempt to index a nil value

    All of a sudden when I try to export images from LR to my HD...I get the following error
    Unable to Export:
    An internal error has occurred ?:0 atempt to index a nil value.  What does this mean?  How do I fix?

    Hi,
    Same problem here. I am trying to export files from RAW format to JPEG. I am setting the output size to 2000k. I get the error message:
    Attempt to index a nil value
    The behavior is a bit random. If I export a large number of photos, some will work some won't. If I retry a picture that failed, it sometimes works or keeps failing. The input images are fairly similar in sizes.
    In some cases, there is no error message but the new reduced-size image is not created.
