FCPX 10.1.1 crashed and managed media lost...
Have a 1.6 TB library on a loaded imac running on a 10 TB RAID. Plenty of file storage space and RAM memory.
Yesterday my producer (I'm managing the project remotely) started importing (copy into library as managed media; no transcoding) clips via the import window. MFX clips.
All seemed good in the morning, background tasks had finished. All clips appeared to be active and living in the library (so I was told).
My producer did receive a notice from FCPX that it was unable to backup when she first opening up FCPX. Something about access to the drive and permissions. She ignored this message ;((((
A half hour later FCPX froze. After a reboot, most of the imported clips are now unlinked. And when she looks inside the library, the media is not showing up in the Original Media folder, where it should live if it HAD imported it properly.
It appears that being unable to backup, FCPX just quit and didn't even save the library and reverted to an earlier state prior to the import.
Does this make sense?
Disturbing it it's true. (I instructed her to change the location of the backups to another drive/folder)
Would opening up an earlier version of the library from the backup be a possible fix?

"Were the clips copied to the computer before they were imported? Or were they imported directly from a camera into the event – or perhaps copied to a camera archive?"
Imported as managed media via import window from dumps of canon c300 mxf files with assistance of the Canon plug in for FCP X.
You wrote:
"Are you saying that all media is missing – or just the clips that failed to import? I"
Just about HALF of the media imported over last 24 hours.
You wrote:
"Is there anything at all in the Original Media folder?"
Yes SOME of the imports are there as managed media in the Orig Media folder.
You wrote:
"I can't imagine how an earlier Final Cut backup library would have what's missing, but no harm in looking,"
I thought of this but as I am managing remotely, I didn't want to go there. I'm first trying to figure out what may have caused it.
You wrote:
"Is the RAID mirrored?"
It's a RAID 5.
You wrote:
"Do you have a system backup that you could restore from?"
I'd rather just reimport the files. Seems more straight forward to me as I am managing this project remotely.
You wrote:
"Had you been having any trouble with the device prior to this?"
Don't know. Are there any known issues with storing FCPX libraries on RAIDs?

so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back, so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back
You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea. iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer. When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs. The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company) to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast). -
Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?
okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

My hard drive crashed and I have lost all of my music. How do I get it back?
My hard drive has crashed and I have lost all of my music. Is there a way to contact the itunes people and get at least all of my purchased music back?
If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download purchases for free.

My computer crashed and I've lost two of my films. On my purchases they are still listed how do I get them back?
Re-downloading of movies has been licensed by the movie studios only in the US as of right now. I'm guessing, since you refer to "films", that your're not in the US and if so will not be able to download your movies again without paying. You'll need to restore from your backups.

How do I recover a Muse site back to my computer after it has crashed and I've lost the files?
How do I recover a Muse site that was uploaded to Business Catalyst back to my computer after my system crashed and I've lost the files?
Regardless of being in development or not, "Captain Obvious" is is correct and the working .muse file is lost, meaning that you will have to start again from scratch.
All the BC will contain is the published HTML and support files, not the .muse file which you would require to recover the site design.
Might want to look into Time Machine or another automatic, timed backup source while you work. -

Hi! I was using Microsoft Word. And it said that the server was offline when I went to save it. The program crashed, and I have lost my report! Help!!!
I was thinking there has to be a recovery file on the computer somewhere! Right?
Help!Versions of Word on Windows make a backup file with the extension .abk, if that has been enabled in their options, I do not know whether the Mac versions do, or whether you enabled it but try using Spotlight to search for .abk or just abk.
Where were you trying to save? a network server drive? -

Hello Heal17
There are a few ways to get your data back up from iCloud. You can download past purchases by following the steps in the first article to get all iTunes media downloaded. The next thing is to import all your photos, the second article that will assist with that process. To get photos from your Photo Stream, download the iCloud Control Panel to get the Photo Stream downloaded to your computer. The last article will assist with getting everything backed up from iCloud.

Computer crashed and songs were lost
Yes I know I should've backed up my system. My computer crashed and now I have lost all of my songs and videos that I had downloaded. Is there anyway to get them back without having to pay for them all over again? Probably like 200 songs were lost and that's a lof of money to have to pay back.
If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Intel MAC keeps crashing and Unlinking Media
Hi All,
I know this is a probably unanswerable question on a forum or telephone support even as the crash I am getting doesn't appear to be recreatable or at any specifc point.
Basically we are editing away quite merrily and a couple of times day we get the complete crash screen with Chinese or Japanese writing on (what is the technical name or nickname for this screen?)
We then have to hardboot the PC at this point. When we go back to the job on some of the reboots it has unlinked the media so we have to manually reconnect and also see how much work we have lost since last autosave.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? We have other (IBM) Quads that don't seem to have this behavior. The machines are completely uptodate on there software. I have trashed preferences.
My problem is that being random it is ask to hard to ask for support..
Any help or hints to finding the problem would be mucho appreciated.This is the list Andy mentioned.

My hard drived crashed in my HP Pavilion desktop and I have installed a new one. I have Windows 2007. My Itunes library is gone. How can I get all the music that I loaded onto my iPod from my own CD's back into an Itunes library?
The loading of audio files to iPod is designed to go one way only: computer to iPod. There are some third-party applications available which will rescue an audio library and write the files back to a PC HDD. The playlists might not copy, nor the album art work, nor videos but you might be able to recover all audio files. Some apps are open source and available for free download, for example: Senuti, Onyx. There are others which are Windows-based; do a Google search to find out.

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID? -
Iphoto crash and uploaded photos lost
Hi I am flabbergasted!
I tranfered 300+ photos to iphoto, created a folder for them, and was just doing some editing when the program froze, closed and when I reoped the program the new directory was there, however there were no photographs in the folder. During the process up transfer the oroginals were deleted (as per the cue), so now I have nothing - all my christmas photos gone. Please sombody tell me how I can get them back!
Thanks
Tomfirst off we can only communicate with words so proper usage is critical
In iPhoto folders can not hold photos - folders hold albums or other folders
So what are you calling folders? Events? Albums?
as to the importing - a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and the reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Depending on exactly what you have done and what you are seeing you may have to use data recovery software to recover the photos on your memory card - downoad media recover and with the free trial see what you can recover - do not use your card until this is resolved - if necessary you can purchase media recover and recover what it sees
