FCPX Missing Event "Event Name Already Exists"

I imported some footage into FCPX in a new event. When I went back into Final Cut, the event was missing. I've searched through as much of my computer as possible (from typing in the event name and file numbers in Finder to digging through folders) and it is NOWHERE. The footage only exists on my computer so I'm in a bit of a bind. Last night I finally accepted that it was gone, so I tried to upload the footage that I do still have. When I typed in the new event name, a box popped up that said ""Blabla" already exists" Choose another name"..... So the event does exist somewhere on my computer I just have absolutely no idea where it has gone or where to find it. It's not in any of the Final Cut Backups that I have.

I'm trying really hard to not freak out right now, but I literally just lost 4 hours of work on an edit and I can't find it.
First of all, I started a project and worked for 4 hours straight, from start to finish. I went to export the project XML and it froze. I waited like 3 minutes and then had to force quit. I opened it like 4 more times and had to keep force quitting bcuz it wasn't responding. I restarted my mac and when I opened FPCX it didn't freeze but my work was gone. But not all of it. Literally the first two clips of the edit and thats it. I checked the backups and it didn't seem to make them. I went to restart the edit, and when I went to create a new event (with the same name as before), it said it existed.
I'm hoping you could tell me if there is any way I can get my project back. Where might these "created events" be if they aren't showing up in FPCX. I search bared my finder and they don't show up?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Device name already exists changed to

A couple of months back I upgraded my SLES 10sp1 servers to SLES 10sp2 using ZLM. My ZLM server is running SLES 11 and version 7.3 of ZLM. My SLES 10sp2 servers are running the ZLM 7.3 client. When I look in ZCC under the Hot List it shows my main ZLM 7.3 SLES 11 server with a warning status for almost all my hosts. When I click on that to see what is going on the Event log states: Device name already existed, changed to MYSLES10HOSTNAME while attempting to register host: MYSLES10HOSTNAME I clear all these events and later on they are back. Sometimes the same ones sometimes others. I currently maintain about 200 servers using ZLM and the Event log has 44 devices with this message. What setting do I need to change or delete? Or better yet what do I need to do to correct this behavior?
Thanks!

This happens normally when you register one host against the zlm server, stop zmd, delete the deviceid and secret file, start zmd and register it again against the zlm server without deleting the existing device in the zlm web interface.
What happens at this time is that the zlm client registers with the deviceid and the secret against the zlm server. In the web interface you see the hostname of it. If you open the details, you see the guid of the host which equals the deviceid.
When the zlm client communicates with the zlm server it uses the deviceid and the secret to login and query the bundles, catalogs and policies assigned to it.
So now when the zlm client is stopped, the files deleted, the zlm recreates them the next time it is started. After registering against the zlm server, it tries to login with the new deviceid and the new secret. There is already such a host entry, therefor it renames one and register with the new values again.
Do you have maybe a cron job or something that deletes those files and restarts the zlm client ?

Operation can't be completed because an item of same name already exists - Mavericks

I am trying to copy a large file folder (of a large iTunes library of music files) from a WD Live NAS drive to a new AirPlay Time Capsule via Finder on my Retina MBP. Every time I try it, I get the same error "operation can't be completed because an item of the same name already exists."
I have tried a number of the following solutions:
1. I cleared my cache out as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2231287?start=120&tstart=0
2. I tried using the Terminal app, as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21786245#21786245
3. I tried closing both Finder windows once I started the copy operation, as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2231287?start=105&tstart=0
4. I tried deleting/renaming all files that contained a ~ as in a thread I can't find right now.
All of these things are not working. I was able to copy several other large file folders (mostly of videos) without a hitch. I can't figure it out. Can anyone assist?
Many thanks...

Yes, I had to format the 1TB to FAT before I use it.
whoa there. why did you format the drive FAT? that's an obsolete windows drive format and OS X is known to have various issues with it. this may easily account for your problems. strongly suggest you reformat the drive mac os extended.
"have you tried using the restore option within Disk Utility to copy the data back instead of doing it manually?"
There's nothing on the 1TB to restore because I sent it in for warranty exchange. So its brand new, nothing in it.
he was suggesting that you use the restore tab in disk utility to copy the 640GB drive to the new 1TB one. that's what I suggested too but I mentioned using superduper or CCCloner.
but you really should reformat the drive first. the only reason to use FAT is if you want to use the drive from both mac and windows. but then you'll likely have to live with the quirks of FAT and OS X.

Operation can't be completed because an item of same name already exist

Hi, my first post. I've search the net for similar problems but nothing exact.
I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 (1TB)that just returned cos I got it exchanged. While it was being exchanged, I used a Maxtor OneTouch (640GB). I had transferred everything from my 1TB to the 640GB.
Now that the 1TB's back, I want to transfer everything back. But when I try to transfer anything from the 640GB to the 1TB, an error message appears saying "operation can't be completed because an item "(of same name)" already exist."
After I click OK on the error message, only the folder gets copied over to the 1TB but NONE of its contents.
This only happens when I transfer folders. If I were to transfer individual files, e.g a picture, it's successful.
Things that do work:
- transferring files and folders from computer to both HDDs
- transferring files and folders from either HDDs to computer
So the only problem is transfers between both HDDs.
I read some thread that repairing permissions might help but when I enter Disk Utility, "Verify Disk permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions" are both greyed out.
Does anybody have experience with this problem? Please help, the 640GB is exploding!
Thanks in advance!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

SPD 2010 - How to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library

Hi,
I've created a workflow using SPD. One of the steps in there is changing the name of the document to a clean name. This workflow fails if a document with this same name already exists in my document library. Is there a way to check in a SPD workflow if
a document with a given name already exists in my document library ?
Marc Nemegeer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library.
You can use a SharePoint Designer workflow to achive it.
To test to see if a document exists, you need to use condition:
If Current List:Name equals [%Current Item:Title%].docx
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

File name replaced with Tilde (~), name already exists error

When exporting jpg files in Lightroom 4 I've recently had an issue with some of the files containing a tilde (~), the 43rd file in the series often gets it as well as a few others. So in the series one might be named 43-MA~1.jpg instead of the 43-Maegan-details.jpg that I originally named the file.
When I've tried to rename these files from the finder I get the error "name already exists". If I rename it to something totally different it works but if I then try to rename it the original filename I wanted it gives me the error again or reverts to the name with the ~.
I'm running 10.6.8, and the problem has been happening the past few weeks but I've never had the problem before. I can't figure out what is causing the problem and it's not every export but it's a huge hassle to try and rename the files.

This is the one error message that I have gotten in years with Encore. In my case, I had created a Project to be used as a "template," and had done the layout, Imported the common Assets, and then used this as the basis for a 17 DVD set, just Importing the unique Assets to each. Everything went perfectly, until disc 15. Maybe I was sloppy, as I had just completed 14 such Projects that day, but when I went to Build, I got that error. I tried un-Linking and re-Linking Assets, and checked all Menus. Nothing - just that error. Flushed Media Cache, and only the error. I posted here, with the details and asking for ideas.
In the meantime, I just grabbed my "template" Project and Imported those same, unique Assets. Used my altered Menus from bad Project and did my linking, exactly (or so I thought) as I had just done. This time, the Build was successful and # 15 thru 17 went without a hitch.
I had Saved that bad Project, and several folk offered suggestions. I tried them all, but never could get it to Build. I always got that error. I finally gave up testing and chalked it up to OE on my part, but I never figured out what I had done wrong, as I really thought that it was by the numbers.
Based on my experience, I would just start a new Project, being careful in the workflow. That was the only thing that worked for me.
Good luck,

Copying a PageItem to Another Document, When the Color Name Already Exists in the Target Document

(CS5 and ActionScript)
I am trying to copy a PageItem from Document A to Document B.
If the PageItem in Document A has a Color named "MyColor", and that Color already exists in Document B, then when I duplicate the PageItem from Document A to B, a new Color called "MyColor 2" is created in Document B.
What I wanted was for the PageItem to simply take on the deifintion of "MyColor" which was already in Document A.
If you perform this activity manually in the desktop UI, no duplicate color is created and the PageItem recieves de facto the original color values for the original "MyColor" in target document B.
Any ideas?

Sorry - mistake crept in. I meant:

If the PageItem in Document A has a Color named "MyColor", and a Color by that name already exists in Document B, then when I duplicate the PageItem from Document A to B, a new Color called "MyColor 2" is created in Document B.
What I wanted was for the PageItem to simply take on the deifintion of "MyColor" which was already defined in Document B.
If you perform this activity manually in the desktop UI, no duplicate color is created and the PageItem recieves de facto the original color values for the original "MyColor" in target document B.

Folder name already exists error when activating feature

HI,
I am creating a document library and adding folders to it using elements.xml in VS 2012.
First time deployment of the item works fine, the folder is created. But further deployment or activation of feature from site features is throwing the error "Folder name already exists".
Below is the elements.xml of List Instance, which was modified to add the folders.
<ListInstance Title="TestLibrary" OnQuickLaunch="FALSE" TemplateType="101" FeatureId="Guid" Url="Lists/TestLibrary" Description="TEST Library List Instance">
<Data>
<Rows>
<Row>
<Field Name="ContentTypeId">0x0120004F994A3C0FF76546A528DA0D4B515898</Field>
<Field Name="FileLeafRef">Test_One</Field>

<Field Name="FileLeafRef">Test_Two</Field>
<Field Name="Title">Test_Two</Field>
<Field Name="FSObjType">1</Field>
</Row>
</Rows>
</Data>
</ListInstance>
How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Folder name already exists error when activating feature”.
I had used the following code snippet to create a folder within a document library, it didn’t throw errors when reactive the feature.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ListInstance Title="LibTest"
OnQuickLaunch="TRUE"
TemplateType="10000"
Url="Lists/LibTest"
Description="My Lib Instance">
</ListInstance>
<Module Url="Lists/LibTest/Folder1" />
</Elements>
http://shareden.blogspot.com/2012/11/creating-feature-with-image-library.html
Also, when you redeploy the project, it will give you a dialog which would promote to delete the existed list or not.
If you click the “Resove Automatically”, the visual studio would delete the existed list automatically, and create a new list.

hi Guys,
need to create a mailbox for a tennant "service" but get this error
This display name already exists. Please use a different display name
any idea ?
We have come across the same issue with the Service@ email account under tennant mode.and we've tried it under multiple domain names that we host..with the same resulting "display name already exists" error.
The Suggestions above by Fiona do not work, and yield :
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-user -id service |FL
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'service' couldn't be found on '<AD Domain Controller>'.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Mailbox], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FC39465B,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.GetMailbox
Yet... if we create another user and add Service@ as an alias it works .. we just cant create it as a primary user name.

Spotlight/Finder can't find a file, yet when I search the timecapsule for they find it. If I try to restore the file I get "file with that name already exists...." What is wrong?

I was trying to find a file (iTunes Backup). When using finder/Spotlight they couldn't find the file.
I then opened up my timecapsule and searched for the file....tick-a-de-da it found it in yesterdays backup. I attempted to restore the file and got the prompt "A file with that name already exists in this location, would you like to keep both, replace the file or cancel the request.
So if the file is there why can't spotlight/finder find the file??
If it helps I get this from the terminal when checking if indexing was enabled.

Hi Danielle,
Is there any possibilty that some of your files (a VI or DLL?) have been moved, renamed, or deleted? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you using and are you using any .NET DLLs? Another option to consider would involve VISA or DAQmx property nodes. Are you using any of these property nodes in your code? Here is a KnowledgeBase article to describe more about the VISA and DAQmx property nodes in a source distribution:

Media Source - 'file of this name already exists' transfering tracks from Zen Micro to

I've come home for the weekend, and I'm trying to transfer a few albums from my Zen Micro to my Mum's PC for her. Normally this works fine, but for some reason today I keep getting the message 'A file of this name already exists' for about 80% of the tracks I try to transfer. One or two tracks from each album will work and the rest will fail.
These are new tracks and they definitely aren't already in her music library - I've double checked the C dri've too.
I'm given the option to overwrite the exisiting tracks, so I gave that a try with one album, but the tracks still aren't didn't show on there once I'd transfered, despite the track number not going up, so god knows what's been overwritten with those!
Can anyone help?
Cheers!

Your firmware is not the PlaysForSure version.
Anyway, I just want to make sure that you have set up the directory and file naming convention correctly for MediaSource. Here is what you should do:
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

File name already exists?

The past few days, I've had trouble exporting certain sequences from FCPHD using Compressor 2. Basically, when I go to export via compressor, the error "File Name Already Exists" pops up. However, the sequence still appears in the compressor window. I then try and compress the sequence, but my Batch Monitor then fails with the following error: Media Server Application Unexpectedly Quit. Does anybody know why this would happen all of the sudden? Is it a sequence setting or a setting in comrpessor. Please help. Thanks!

Hey Jae233,
the first error you are receiving from compressor of "File Name Already Exists" simply means that you are trying to compress the file, with an exact name, to the exact destination thats it. try renaming your export from either QT or FCP, then when you compress in compressor, as long as you name your file, something else, like a *_V2.mov, instead of *.mov, then you wont have that problem. the reason it still appears in the compressor window is because compressor is trying to write over the file, or replace it if you will.
as far as batch monitor quiting on you, it might be related to actually trying to write over the file. this might be a bug, since it should write over the file. so just delete the original or faulty file (the *.m2v) and or rename your new file, and you shouldnt have any more problems!

I can't create archive with the same name for example archive.pst, all the time during new archivisation I have to change the name of the archive file like: archive1, archive2, archive3….. Now in my mailbox I have something like
5 archivisation folders :(
Can You help me please with that?

How can i change the settings so that before download the firefox gives a propmt that same file name already exists, instead of automatically renaming duplicate files by adding .1 suffix?

When I download a file, if a file of similar name already exists in the same download folder, the firefox downloads the file and renames it by adding numeric .1 to the file name.
I want the firebox to give me a prompt that similar file already exist, rather than automatically renaming it by adding suffix .1.

File Error: A file of this name already exists

im using Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and whenever I tried to export a sequence using compressor, I get that error message "File Error: A file of this name already exists". I tried reinstalling the program, nothing. What can I do to fix that?

Sounds like you already have a file by that name located in the place you want to export to. Try changing the name of your new file.
