Exclamation Icon breaks file links

In iTunes, I'm getting an exclamation icon in the far left column, often when I click on a song, the song below will generate the icon. I then have to find the link in my system and reconnect to restore the ability to play the song. This often will happen with many songs consecutively on the list. This has never happened before and is maddening! Can someone walk me through a fix?
Thanks!

Did you move files around using Windows Explorer? That would cause that. iTunes stores the path to the file and if you change it outside of iTunes, you get the !
Also if the files are on an external hard drive and the exHD isn't turned on when you start itunes it will happen. Or if WIndows has given it the exHD a different drive letter, that would cause it as well.

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone. What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

How do I collect and organize files into a new folder without breaking the links to my media?

I'm new to premiere pro, and learned that I probably should have figured out where to organize all of my files from the beginning, but in the post production phase, I have a bunch of audio and image files sitting all over my desktop, and I'm afraid that if I move them, I'll break the links to all of my media. Files I edited in CS6 Photoshop and Audition are of special concern (considering they get automatically routed to my desktop).
Does anyone know how I can collect all of the files and media that were imported into my project, and and archive them into a folder without breaking the project's links to the original media? Perhaps there's a way to copy all of the files and move them into that folder, so that when I move the originals, I'll still maintain all of the links in the copied version?
I tried using the project manager tool, but received an "unknown error message" each time I ran it.
Any organizational insight would be much appreciated!

3rd Generation ipod - Folder with exclamation icon

I have had a 3rd generation 20g ipod for a number of years. Recently I switched it on and it showed the folder and exclamation icon and the device was frozen. I have been on every site and carried out every listed procedure but the device remains frozen. I have removed the battery and hard disk but when reconnected the problem still remains. Under Mycomputer the computer is not seeing the ipod so I cannot reformat it. I recently took the hard disk to a specialist and his device could see and read and play music files from the hard disk. Even when the hard disk is disconnected the ipod shows the folder and exclamation mark. Have I a problem with the Firmware and if so can it be shocked out of its current seizure! Is there any point formatting the disk separately and then reconnecting in the ipod. Running out of options starting to get desparate

I'm not sure that this will help, keego, but I'll give two links about this issue. The first one is an Apple article about it. And the other is a thread that I suggest checking out, since it has lots of info. Check out these links here:
iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
Exclamation point and folder
That topic linked above that was posted here also includes some interesting advice: bang the right side of your iPod firmly against your hand or a desk. Try it out, because that worked for people on here!
Hope this helps, post back if it did or not!

POSIX paths, quotes, & file links

This script almost works to add a clickable link to a file:
<code>
tell application "OmniOutliner"
set MyDoc to front document
set theReply to (choose file) as alias
set note of selected rows of MyDoc to "file://localhost" & POSIX path of theReply
end tell
</code>
As long as the path or filename contains no spaces, it works fine.
I've tried using "quoted form of", but that inserts apostrophes into the link, which breaks the link.
How can I tweak this script so that it returns a clickable file:// link?
(You can see results at: Image: )
Thanks,
CB

Thanks red_menace and Tony!
Your suggestions did the trick. I'll have to read up on delimiters to understand exactly how that function works, but it does exactly what I needed. For the record, my final, functioning program is:
on ReplaceText(theString, fString, rString)
set current_Delimiters to text item delimiters of AppleScript
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to fString
set sList to every text item of theString
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to rString
set newString to sList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to current_Delimiters
return newString
end ReplaceText
tell application "OmniOutliner"
set MyDoc to front document
set theReply to (choose file) as alias
set myPath to "file://localhost" & POSIX path of theReply
set myString to ReplaceText(myPath as string, " ", "%20") of me
set note of selected rows of MyDoc to myString
end tell

Renaming images without breaking file path

I've got about 20 images in a RoboHelp 10 project that I need to rename. I can find them in the Project Manager pod and I see the option to rename them there, but if I do so, it breaks the link to the image in any topics in which they already appear. If someone can explain how to do one of two things, I'd be greatly appreciative:
1. Rename the image so that the topics it appears in automatically update to the new file path
2. Find a list of all topics in which the image appears so I know where to go to fix the file paths once I change the name
I've had no luck at all Googling this issue, and my next resort will be a topic-by-topic search, which I really don't want to do.
Thanks so much in advance!
Kaylin

Thank you - I tried renaming yesterday and the link broke, tried again this morning and it's fine. Must have been doing something stupid inadvertently.
Thanks again!

Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

Aloha Everyone!
I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
Here is what I have done to show files so far:
old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

Can we solve this problem -folder with the exclamation icon

What is this folder with the exclamation icon?
Why it happens only to the iPod connected to PC?
Why it is the toughest problem to be solved?
What causes it?
Just would like to share my experience with all of you, my niece has a mini iPod that connects with a PC, however, after ejecting the iPod a few times inproperly, her iPod showed this most notorious evil icon. I followed all the instructions from the Apple web site in this forum, I did nearly ten times of Resets and Restores (I managed to restore but not everytimes), still failed to get rid of this icon, and it jsut would not disappear in the iPod. I just got very frustrated and I asked myself should I connect it with a Mac? Why not? So I connected it with my Mac, no surprise, then I put it in Disk Mode and reconnectted (few attempts), the iPod icon appeared on my Desktop but I still could not do the restore.
As I believed that iPod was the same as an external Hard Disk, and it was broken anyway, why not have another try - so I opened the Disk Utility and saw the iPod there, then I did an Erase (format) the iPod, once completed I reconnected with my Mac again, after 4 attempts, the iPod updater window popup and asked me whether I would like to do a restore, I finally managed to get rid of this icon. I connectted it with PC and was able to do a restore in my PC and got recongzied afterward. It has happened almost for 6 months and I heard that this iPod is still working fine.
My suggestion is - unless you need to do the update of song with your iPod, never and ever charged your iPod via connecting with the PC, I leave my iPod with the Bose docking system and it has no problem at all.

My suggestion is - unless you need to do the update of song with your iPod, never and ever charged your iPod via connecting with the PC, I leave my iPod with the Bose docking system and it has no problem at all.
I always use the iPod AC charger to charge my iPods and I have never had any problems.
The initial cause of the problems in your post is probably that several improper ejection of the iPod. If you do not have a Mac the problem may not be solvable by yourself.

Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Jim

Sorry for the insufficient info.
My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
Can you help me with this?

No longer able to follow local file links.

In previous versions of firefox ( 28 and Earlier ) I was able to follow local file links by whitelisting them in the user preferences file as shown here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
This functionality has ceased to work with the update.

You might find a similar bug already posted, but if not, sure, others are going to have the issue.
I guess one question is implementation. What mechanism is replacing capability preferences? If there isn't something that general purpose, what kind of site-level permission could be relevant?
And if the need is not clear, what are the use cases for http:// to file:// access that the developers need to consider? Or is it for file:// to file:// access that's most critical?

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.
