Exclamation mark problems - help please

I deleted my trash because it was 60GB and it's caused me quite a few problems.
A number of exclamation marks have appeared in iTunes and when trying to search for the original file to mend the broken link, the track is greyed out in Finder. I'm presuming this is because some of the tracks were somehow linked to what was in my trash.
(1) What is the best way to fix this issue?
I guess I could use Time Machine to restore iTunes to what it looked like last week (pre-trash deletion) - (2) would that work or would I need to restore the whole of my trash for that too?
(3) If I try to restore iTunes via Time Machine, what folder do I restore - is it "Music" or something else?
Thanks.

not sure it'll work but try this script:
_*iTunes Track CPR v1.3*_
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

My Macbook Pro won't start up. All I get is a grey screen showing a grey folder bearing a question mark. Help please!

My Macbook Pro won't start up. All I get is a grey screen showing a grey folder bearing a question mark. Help please!

The folder with the question mark indicates that the machine is unable to find a bootable volume on startup. This is typically caused by one of three things:
1.) The internal HD has failed or is failing and needs to be replaced
2.) There is significant directory damage to the volume that requires repairing in order to boot
3.) Some other internal component failure between the HD and logic board
I'd ranked them in the order that is most common (from my personal experience). Boot to the OS X Recovery tool and attempt to repair the startup volume. If that fails or the drive is not detected it's usually a tell tale sign of a failed HD.

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

Hard Drive (Maybe) Problem - Help Please!!

Hey guys. I got a 3rd Generation 15GB iPod. My hard drive is the problem here. When its not in action, very quietly but for surely, you can hear some high-pitched noises that usually don't occur. It sounds like a twitching sound, or twitchy sort of a sound (just as the word "twitchy" sounds like") What has gone wrong with my iPod? Thank you all!

I have to mention that I am not a techician, I may not understand the reason behind, I could be wrong and my suggestion may not work in your case. But, I must say that all the suggestions I made are basically from my past experienece fixing more than 10 iPods (from my friends and family members). I do not and have no intention to make a suggestion purely from what I heard and read (otherwise I would indicate). These have been tested and proved to work in my cases. I also have to deal with iPod problems such as:-
1. Sad iPod
2. Folder with exclamation mark
3. iPod failed to be recognized by the computer
4. broken iPod with 'clicking' sound
I can simply post a link from the apple article - which would suggest you to do a Reset and Restore actions, however, most of the users would agree with me that the iPod with the aforementioned problems would not able to get mounted with the computer. In that case, how could you do a Restore. Should I just suggest the user to send their iPods for repair?
I have tried myself with different ways, and I discovered a trick to solve the above problems. First, we must understand what is the problem behind - in my opinion, the problem mainly caused by the head of HD of the iPod getting stuck at a certain point and unable to read the sector properly. If an iPod is an external Hard Disk, how are you going to fix it, I believe that all of us would suggest one to do a Reformat. Right, but unfortunately, the iPod could not be mounted, so what next? I find an interesting way - when the iPod is formatted in PC and connected with a Mac computer, it will "Force" mount, then why not do a Restore there. And once it has been completed, re-connect it with your original PC, and this time with the iPod being formatted to a different format, a window will pop up, indicating that it cant read the iPod and ask whether you would like to do a reformat. Then open the iPod updater and click Restore (back to PC version). Again, interestingly, it works the other way as well i.e. Mac's iPod fixed with a Window based PC.

How to fix exclamation mark problem

Basically since I updated to iTunes 11 and I went to make a new cd to listen to in the car a lot of my songs have got an exclamation mark next to them and says it can't find the original file so since I HATE the new iTunes i decided to downgrade back to iTunes 10. what ever it was before the update came out to see if that would fix the problem but no that didn't work, so I've since been looking all over Google to try and find a solution to this but everything I found was mostly about moving the iTunes library and how to fix that problem but in my case that isn't the problem at all as I haven't moved the library anywhere, I did find a post about transferring purchases from my iPhone to iTunes so I did that thinking it would fix the problem as all the songs that have the exclamation mark next to them are on my iPhone and play back perfectly fine but iTunes would only transfer my app's not my music, is there a way to change this? Or if anyone else knows how to fix this problem in a different way I would very much appreciate the answer to this problem as it's driving me insane!
Thanks in advance

This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use CTRL+I to Get Info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for a detailed explanation of what the script does.
If your media is scattered around you may need to repeat the search using each of the different locations where you have stored things.

VIRUS PROBLEMS, HELP PLEASE???

I continue to have messages popping up saying my computer is infected. It wants me to cleanup and I have to register with Mac Shield 2.6. Pronograhic websites keep popping up. Anyone having this problem? Did not have this problem yesterday, but it's here today! There is also a Red Sheild on the top of the toolbar where it shows the time, battery life, etc. Right clicking on the sheild drops down Scan Now, Cleanup, Control Center, Scan, System Info, Settings, About, and Register. A pron site just popped up again! Need help Please!!

The Mac Shield malware can come through Firefox too if you allow it to and you click on it!
Your exactly right, it is possible that if you visit a site and need the scripts to run for something that the malware that uses Javascript is on that site, then your going to be presented with it.
The thing is with the Firefox + NoScript combination defeats alot of the web side trickery the malware authors are using to get the malware to appear in the first place.
Also this "MacDefender" isn't the only malware making the rounds. There are some serious Flash vulnerabilities being hosted on hostile/adult websites that are running scripts for no apparent reason other than to try to infect your machine.
By running all scripts all the time, your computer is in a state as if you tried running across a busy highway blindfolded.
As a lifelong "MacHead" I can understand Apple loyalty, but if Apple isn't cutting the mustard on their browser security, rather place their users security at serious risk for the sake of convenience, then I have to think about using and recommending to others something else that is more secure.
As a example, I surf thousands of web pages a day, some on really nasty sites, yet I haven't seen this "MacDefender" appear on my computer. Even when I purposely visited links that people have submitted that had the malware. (I maintain a couple of bootable clones of my boot drive just in case)

ICloud problems help please!

I have an iPhone 6 and during the setup I must have did something wrong and now I have my old iCloud account on it that I no longer remember the password, security questions, and no longer have the email address to that account. I think I was hacked and my password and security questions changed. I want to log out of iCloud and start using my current iCloud account. I know these are security measures, but how can I get logged out??? My iPhone is having problems since the latest update and now I can't make a call or text. I can't call apple support without a working number HELP Please.

Hello shelbyrecords,
Oh no! That sounds really frustrating. Unfortunately, if iCloud Find my iPhone Activation Lock is enabled on the device we’ll need to gain access to your previous Apple ID account to disable it. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you may need a personalized support experience to recover your previous Apple ID:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

Soundtrack problems - help please

Help please. I tried doing a send to multi-track project from FCP with the base layer video option and kept getting the 'error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro' message. I did a search and the suggestion is that I have no disk space but I have over 600GB!
Then I tried a send with the full video and the file saved okay. However when I try to open the .stmp file, Soundtrack Pro starts and then freezes. I've tried opening in various ways.
Help please, I just cannot figure this out! What am I doing wrong?

Not sure how much help this is, but since you're having problems with the layout, did you try deleting the layout file? MacintoshHD/users/username/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts
BTW, I found a BKiLifeConfiguration.plist in the following path:
MacintoshHD > Library > Application Support > ProApps > Internal Plug-ins > BrowserKit > iLife.bkplugin > Contents > Resources
Do you find it there?

SQL INSERT problem - help please

Hello,
I'm having a problem with INSERT statement.
There is a "ShowFinal.jsp" page, which is a list of candidates who selected from the second
interview. The user picked some candidates from the list and conduct the 3rd interview. After
he check suitable candidates(who are selected from the 3rd interview) from the list , enter
basic salary for every selected candidate, enter date of interview and finally submit the form.
These data should be save into these tables.
FinalSelect(nicNo,date)
EmpSalary(nicNo,basicSal)
In this "ShowFinal.jsp" page, it validates the following conditions using JavaScript.
1) If the user submit the form without checking at least one checkbox, then the system should be
display an alert message ("Please select at least one candidate").
2) If the user submit the form without entering the basic salary of that candidate which was
checked, then the system should be display an alert message ("Please enter basic salary").
These are working well. But my problem is how to wrote the "AddNewFinal.jsp" page to save these
data into the db.
Here is my code which I have wrote. But it points an error.
"AddNewFinal.jsp"

Hi Casabianca ,
It is clearly that your problem is not on the database end, more like a servlet/jsp issue.
I will not comment on the javascript portion, but rather the 2 jsps.
a simple way to trace what's go wrong is to check the final result (the html code) of the first jsp (showFinal.jsp), and compare against what is expected by the 2nd jsp (AddNewFinal.jsp). Most browser do provide "view source" on the page visited.
the following code
<input type="checkbox" name="<%= "ChkNicno" + iCounter %>" value="<%=s.getNicno() %>">
<input type="text" name="<%= "basicSal" + iCounter %>"
would likely to be "translated" to html code something as follow:
<input type="checkbox" name=""ChkNicno0" value="nicNo>">
<input type="text" name="basicSal0">
the original code in "AddNewFinal.jsp" using
request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
which looking for a none exist http request parameter (sent as "ChkNicno0",etc but look for "ChkNicno"), which has explained before.
the second attempt to use String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno" + iCounter); give Cannot resolove symbol :iCounter. because iCounter never defined in the 2nd jsp!
Most of the error message do give clue to cause of error... : )
not too sure on your intension, assume you wish to update only those selected (checked) row to db.
some suggestions:
1) <input type="text" name="ChkNicno" size="10"> </td>...
<input type="text" name="basicSal" size="10"> instead.
then use javascript to based on checked element index (refer to javascript spec for more details), for those index not checked, clear off the correspond index "basicSal" field value.
e.g. ChkNicno[1] is not checked, empty basicSal[1] value before submission.
This will give us only selected rows values.
2) retain the code
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");at 2nd jsp, as now the http request will pass parameters using "ChkNicno" and "basicSal".
3) some change to the code for optimization
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
to
pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
preparestatement created once should be sufficient as we do not change the sql statement throughout the loop.
there are better solutions out there, this just some ideas and suggestions.Do try out if you wish.
Hope it helps. : )

Multiselect problem Help please!!

Hi all,
I am currently using Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 I have developed an online questionnaire with a multiselect list for one of the questions. The problem i am having is that i need each choice to be totaled up separately on the report generated.
My table of answers looks like this:
Column name e.g. (Question 9)
Answer "Dog" "Cat" "Mouse" "Snake" (underneath column name Question 9 depending on what is selected).
The reporting page would look like below:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 1
Mouse 1
Snake 1
and for the question you could have another respondent who chooses similar of items on the multiselect, so their answer looks like this:
Answer
"Question 9" Dog
"Question 9" Snake
This would then start a new row on the reporting page like below which is not what i want:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 1
Mouse 1
Snake 1
Dog: Snake 1
But the report should look like this:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 2
Mouse 1
Snake 2
The current SQLquery i am using is below:
select "QUESTION 9",
count(*) c
from "P1 DQUESTIONNAIRE"
group by "QUESTION 9"
Thanks for your help and suggestions,
'S'

How to make sure your forum post will never be answered:
1) Make sure your subject line is completely meaningless (i.e. HELP PLEASE!) and describes no part of your actual problem
2) State that you are having "a few problems" but make sure to offer no details whatsoever what those problems are or what the symptoms are.
3) Post large volumes of code instead of distilling the problem down to a compact snippet
4) For extra points, make the code hard to read by refusing to make use of the "code" tag.

K8N Neo2-fx Ram problem Help please

I have three ram(2x512MB single sided , 1x1GB double sided). Is there any way I can put them all on the motherboard? When I place them all the computer is not starting and it`s making a "beep" every 2-3 seconds. If i connect the 1GB double sided on the Dimm1(green) and the one 512MB single sided on the Dimm3(green) it`s working properly. Is there any way I can use all my ram at the same time. I`m desperate. Help please... thank you

How can I put my computer facts under any post I am posting? I should make it my signature?
That's the rule mate which you need to gives all your component in details including your PSU and Bios revision so that others can help you! Like what BOSSKILLER say it won't works with 3 DIMMS unless you purhased another 1 GB of RAM then it can solve your problem with 4 DIMMS or else with 2*512MB RAM. Make sure that you've lowered your HT to <=800Mhz as default is 1000Mhz. GD luck.

Possible line problems - Help Please?

Good Morning,
Been having a lot of problems with slow speeds and the Hub disconnecting recently. I suspect this is to do with the phone line as my setup has not changed since previous issues I had with internal wiring which I fixed with help from people on here...
Anyway, my Hub is connected directly into the test socket and my stats are as below. This doesn't seem right. My noise margin seems very low and the number of errors and events seem rather high. My IP profile has been higher in the past and stable until a few weeks ago.
I realise the connection is not 'stable' as it's been less than three to five days - I'm struggling to keep a connection for 24 to 48 hours at the moment without a reset so this is good for now!
Any help from Mods or others much appreciated. Not much I can do at this end.
Thanks,
Dan.

Switching iTunes from mac to pc - having problems - help, please!!!!

I have an iPod and a Shuffle and all my music is in iTunes on my mac.
I want to now have my iTunes on my pc instead. I understand my iPod is not compatible, so I plan to re-format it once I get iTunes all squared away.
I downloaded iTunes onto my pc and...
Issue #1: When I open i Tunes I receive an error (no code) that says: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I can hit "ok" on the message and iTunes opens up.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same message. True, I have other CD burning software on the computer but don't want to delete it. Don't know if this is really an issue except for having to bypass that error message every time I open iTunes....
Issue #2: I Exported my iTunes library from the mac onto an external hard drive formated in fat32 thinking I could either import the music into iTunes on my pc, or, even better, use the external drive to store the music for use with iTunes on my pc.
Ideally, I'd store the music on the external hard drive and use iTunes on my PC with my iPod and Shuffle.
BUT, after searching the support site and discussions and trying the suggestions I found, I stil have no music showing up in iTunes on the pc.
Can anyone help me? I've spent quite a bit of time on this already and I really can't keep wasting the time. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

First you will want to look for updates to your other CD burning programs that will possiably fix this issue or try uninstalling reinstalling both iTUnes and quicktime.
Im not that mac savy, but on the windows side of things, iTUnes is very picky on what is where.you can recreat the Library on your PC if the file you saved from the mac is a "iTUnes Music Library.xml" file but that would be a hard thing and a mess cuz iTUnes for windows doesn't "Watch" folders. So if that Nickelback song you have was on C:/Mac/Music or however a mac does folders, then it would have to be in the EXACT location in windows. If not your going to have a very sloppy library full of ! marks.
But if you want you can recreate the library following these instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313

Cropping in Elements 11 - Floating in Video Problem - Help Please!

Please help - bottom of video looks like I am floating. Any help would be greatly appeciated.

realjeffl
From my point of view, I believe I know what you did, and I need no screenshot, unless you cannot confirm the following results.
I am essentially certain that I fully understand what you did. It was your use of the Crop Tool and its settings that needs fine tuning.
If you want to crop out that curtain from the left side of the Green Screen Clip, then please try this and let us know the results.
a. Drag the Crop Effect into your Green Screen Clip on Video 1, either into the Monitor or the clip on the Timeline (Expert view) Video 1.
b. Make sure the clip is selected, go to the Applied Effects Palette and the Crop Panel there. Expand the Crop Panel so that you see the settings options.
There are Left, Top, Right, and Bottom sliders there. I cannot give you exact number for your specific situation, but follow this scheme:
Left Slider, move in direction to cut out your curtain on the left side of the Green Screen Image.
Top Slider, move in direction to bring image to the top of the frame just until there is no black showing at the top.
Right Slider, move in direction to bring image to the right edge of the frame until there is not black showing at the right side
Bottom Slider, move in direction to bring image just to the bottom of the frame until there is no black showing at the bottom.
Place a check mark next to Zoom. The frame should be filled with no black border and your person image should be seen intact.
Go back to the Timeline and apply the Green Screen Key Effect to your clip.
I have just done a run through to YouTube with this workflow. Please compare my first upload to YouTube (no cropping) with the current upload that incorporated cropping to get the curtain (seen in the first upload) cut out of the picture.
