FCPX Keeps telling me the file already exists: it doesn't
So I am trying to export "share" my video. Everytime I go to save it in the location, it says it already exists! Which it clearly doesn't, since I haven't created it yet....
any help?! THANKS so much.
Try using a different name. There may also be a permissions probably with the location.

PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !
I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem. But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories? -
How to check if the file already exists in the client directory
Hi all.
I'm on devsuite 10g. I'm using webutil to download files from DB using webutil function db_to_client.
What I need is to check if the file already exists in the client directory and if yes to display a message to ask the user if he wants to overwrite or no. How can I make this???
Here is the code that I'm using to download the file.
Thanks all for the collaboration.
Fabrizio
declare
file_path varchar2(2000) := null;
BEGIN
/** I ask where saving the file on the client machine **/
file_path:= webutil_file.file_selection_dialog
(directory_name => null,
file_name => :bin_docs.name,
file_filter => '',
title => 'Saving file',
dialog_type => save_file, --save_file
select_file => TRUE);
/** I download the file from DB to client **/
if webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress
( file_path ,
'BIN_DOCS',
'DOC' ,
'doc_id = '||:bin_docs.doc_id,
'Downloading file',
' '||:bin_docs.name) then
msg_alert('Download del file avvenuto con successo','I',false);
else
msg_alert('Si è verificato il seguente errore in fase di download '||SQLERRM,'I',false);
end if;
end;How about something like the below:
Note: I have a yes/no alert to asking if they want to over-write the existing file.
DECLARE
file_path VARCHAR2(2000) := null;
over_write BOOLEAN := TRUE;
BEGIN
/** I ask where saving the file on the client machine **/
file_path:= webutil_file.file_selection_dialog
(directory_name => null,
file_name => :bin_docs.name,
file_filter => '',
title => 'Saving file',
dialog_type => save_file, --save_file
select_file => TRUE);
IF webutil.file_exists(file_path) THEN
/** check a file by the same name exists in the selected directory **/
IF show_alert('Ask_overright') != alert_button1 THEN
/** If we say no then set over_write value to false **/
over_write := FALSE;
END IF;
END IF;
IF over_write THEN
/** I download the file from DB to client **/
IF webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress
( file_path ,
'BIN_DOCS',
'DOC' ,
'doc_id = '||:bin_docs.doc_id,
'Downloading file',
' '||:bin_docs.name) then
msg_alert('Download del file avvenuto con successo','I',false);
ELSE
msg_alert('Si è verificato il seguente errore in fase di'

END IF
END IF;
END;

Trying to scan but I get an error "The file already exists in the catalog"
I cannot scan, every time I try scanning I get an error "Nothing was imported. The files or folders selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog.
I checked the temp directory, Files do exist which I deleted several times ut it did not help.
I updated the application which did not help.
I ran repair and re-construct the catalog but that did not help either.
Please help.I am sorry, but that does not help me very much.
Fist:
4) I had over 8000 photos and videos, I think Catalog cannot handle this big data base, so I guess its got corrupted and I had to remove the catalog and create multiple catalogs, which I think is terrible because I have browse through each catalog separately.
This is not a big catalog, I have a catalog with 70 000 items and some have still much bigger catalogs. As you have discovered, splitting catalogs for this reason is not the solution.
trcns a écrit:
What I mean is
1) Its not a scanner causing a problem,
2) Its not Photoshop Element's scanning module causing the problem
3) Its Photoshop Element's Catalog creating this problem
Another way to put it is that you have the problem when using the organizer to scan several pictures. The files are scanned and saved on your disk (with an empty file name plus .jpg or .png extension). You can open them in the editor, but you can't 'import' them in the catalog unless the catalog is empty or you have not scanned prviously.
Is that right?
Since you have not scanned from the editor, it must have been from the organizer.
What I don't understand is which command you have issued to scan and what has happened then. What is your Elements version? You have stated that you are on Windows 8. It may help to know what is the model of your scanner. -
I have a windows 7 64 bit os . Downloaded and installed iTunes for 64 bit os.Try to open ,it tells me , The file
"iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes . Any suggestions ?zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

every time i try to download firfox as a browser it tells me the file is corrupt.
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

"file already exists in the destination" during application build
I am trying to build an executable and have gotten the following error:
The file already exists in the destination.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\Sentech LV 82\Shared Library - Trigger SDK\StTrgApi.dll
WHen I start the build I go to "Build Executable" then click "Build"
The VI for the project I have open is the Startup VI and I do not list any Dynamic VIs or Support FIles.
I am using Labview 8.2
I installed a user library for a USB camera from Sentech wich I am using and it works fine in Labview 8.2
When I try to do the build I get the error shown above. The file it is referencing is there along with the .lvlib file.
I tried removing the file shown in the error message to see what would happen and I continue to get the same error even though the file is not there. I even restarted LV and still got the same error.
I am new to the application builder (v7 ?) and have not been able to find any good tutorials. Does anyone have any ideas on this error or a good place to learn more about app builder.
Thanks

Pop up saying File already exists when saving an excel file while running exe
I have an excel file which I read and write in my application.
When I run the application in development system, it works fine. However when I run the application as an exe and try to save the excel file, it says that 'The file already exists and Do you want to replace?'.
Why does this question asked for exe?
PFA my write excel VI
Thanks in advance.

Write to Excel.vi 25 KBHi Princess_swa,
The problem may be that when you build an exe, it adds another folder called 'builds' into the filepath.
A good way to fix this is to create a case structure, putting extra strip paths into your filepath if running an exe.
I have attached a screenshot of my code doing exactly this for you to look at. The code creates a 'base path' which is then used to reference all of my file paths in my code - and therefore, they will always have the right number of strip paths when it is run. (Note: in my code I have 2 extra strip paths, due to where I've placed the folder, but one should be sufficient.)
Also there is a 'Check if folder exists' VI which you can again link to a case structure, and change the filename if it already exists. Again, I have provided a screenshot of my code which does this.
Hope this helps,
Lou

Files Already Exist when Reconnecting Presumably Missing Files
I am struggling to clean-up several hundred files in my PSE organizer database.
Whenever I run the reconnect all command (or any other command that requires reconnecting first), PSE locates a large group of presumably missing files. PSE's "Reconnect Missing Files" dialogue shows me the former location of the files. I browse to that location and find the files still there. I then select the file and press reconnect. Unfortunately, I then get an error that says "The file already exists in the catalog." This clears the missing file problem for the moment. However, when I run another missing file check, it will again find these same files. I have attempted to reconnect them several times but PSE continues to tell me that they need to be reconnected but still knows where the files are.
I have already run a database repair (no errors were found).
I also ran a database optimization without issue.
Some system information:
Win7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Dell XPS i7 Computer
6gb RAM. >350gb of free hard disk space
PSE 12....but also had the same problem on PSE 11. I upgraded hoping that the problem would be solved. It wasn't.
Thanks for any assistance in clearing this problem for me.
-BruceI solved my own problem...although I do not know what caused it nor why Adobe's program didn't fix it for me.
The "missing" entries that were being highlighted were all duplicate entries. Adobe won't allow for a duplicate entry to the same physical file. I deleted all the offending entries and this cleared my problem. I hope this solution helps others.

File already exists in catalog error message
When trying to scan a photo into the PSE 8 Organizer, I get the message "The file already exists in the catalog". It indicates the file c:/users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/PSAlbumImport/2014-02-23-1315-04/Image1.jpg. This file contains the image that I scanned in but it won't import into the Organizer. I now have several scanned photos with this problem, all in different directories. How can I fix this?
My scanner software requires me to scan to photo software when scanning slides or negatives so the folder suggestion does not work.
I have found a work around . I now scan into the organizer of my PSE 5 program which then shows up in the browser as new files when I open PSE 9.
The PSE 5 program will scan all 4 slides without any problems. This didn't fix the problem in PSE 9 but I can get my scans done.
I just wish Adobe support would get off their *** and respond to problems. I emailed them a week ago and have not received any response.
Thanks for your response. -
Hello,
Any suggestion is appreciated.
I have a 10.4.2 server, Xserve raid attach through qlogic 5200.
People access the volume via afp. For some reason when we try to copy files to the mounted network drive, it will tell me that the file already exists. I don't see it, but I can no duplicate the file. And when I tried to create a new folder, (it happened yesterday) and tied to move it, it will give me a beachball and it will crash the whole system, including the machines that's connected to the volume.
Any help would be great.

ITunes startup and store issues "file already exists"
Hi there,
I got a problem with iTunes starting up and i cant solve it with the suggestions available in the handbooks or discussion forums.
A) When i start up itunes i get an error message saying "the file already exists".
I can then browse my music and shop as usual.
B) When i try to buy something in the store a similar error message pops up, "File already existent"
What i tried so far:
- Deinstalled itunes and all other Apple producs + associated files and folders.
- System checkup incl. viruses and various cleanups
Operating System is Windows 7.
My Devices work on other machines without any problems.
Anyone has a solution for what file might be existent or where else the problem can be?
Thanks so much!Hello Cuprastar,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like these error messages are indicating there could be a problem with the iTunes library itself.
I would recommend recreating the iTunes library with the help of this article:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
When you do this, iTunes will offer to scan for media files, and you should let it perform the scan.
Take care,

I have most of my music stored on my old iphone. i bought a new I pad, and signed up with a new e mail adress as my old one is defunct. How do i change my e mail adress to the new one, because it keeps telling me apple id already in use.
You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account
