"File / Add File To Library" Not Working For Particular File

I believe I chose to delete a podcast. iTunes asked if I wanted to totally delete the file, or to leave it in a 'media file'. I didn't know what this meant so I chose to just leave it in a 'media file'. As expected, the podcast could no longer be seen in the iTunes Library / podcasts.
Later I performed: "File / Add File To Library" of that same podcast (ie. an .mp3 file). The file does not seem to be anywhere in the Library. I'm wondering if it is not added because it thinks it is in some "media file" which cannot be seen within iTunes? No error message was given saying the file was already there; however, when i attempt to add other podcasts from the same directory on my computer, iTunes has no problem adding other podcasts.
I've changed the directory to a different location on my harddrive, as well as changed the name of the podcast all to no avail. And spent 4 hours with this and am ready to pull my hair out.
I think iTunes will not add this file because it thinks it is already there, although from no where in iTunes can i find it (ie. not under 'music', not under 'podcast', etc.).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"Won't add to library and doesn't give an error message" is usually a sign of minor corruption in the MP3 file. Treat it with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3val, and then it should be able to be added to your iTunes library.

  • Encode Video Files not working for avi files

    Hi,
    I've been trying to convert some .avi files to apple format using Lion's native 'Encode video files' function however keep getting a 'avconvert: source file not found for source file://fileparthhere avconvert: failed to create an export session. Check setup
    I can't work out why as this has worked before in Lion and works fine for other video formats. The only thing I've done is remove Final Cut Express HD and can't add it again as I don't own it anymore
    Suggestions? Is there a encoder to make this work or should it work anyway?
    Thanks

    If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
    Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
    Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

  • Oracle text search not working for  WSDL files

    I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
    I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
    Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
    Query details
    ===========
    create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
    select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
    Thanks a lot,
    Santhi

    Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
    Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
    Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

  • Preview is not working for MEdia files

    There are quite a few different settings that you can choose from when converting a RAW file to a DNG. Without knowing what settings you set up in LightRoom there's no way to tell why your images aren't importing properly.
    Roughly speaking, a linear DNG is one where the first part of the RAW conversion process (called debayerising or demosaicing) has already been done by Adobe.

  • "Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" Not Working for DNG Files

    Hello,
    I am needing to update DNG/JPG file pairs with keywords that I add  in lightroom.  The following is the problem that I am encountering. 
    When the image consists of only a JPEG file (ie. I had my DSLR only snap a jpeg and not an associated DNG), and I add one or more keywords to the file in Lightroom, these are written / saved immediately in Lightroom and are visible immediately in the 'tags' column for that image in windows explorer.  Very useful and important functionality for my workflow.
    However, when the image consists of both a JPEG and a sister DNG (i.e.,snapped simultaneously by my DSLR), and I try to add keywords to these (treated at this point as a single image by lightroom) then Lightroom does not record the keywords into either of the two files and consequently no tags are visible in windows explorer.  I have confirmed this apparent problem with a seperate image metadata utility software, and am hoping that it's just something simple that I am missing.
    Also "Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" is selected and I have also  tried manually both: "right click," "metadata," "write metadata to file;"  and  "right click" "update DNG preview and metadata" and the problem  persists.
    Hopefully someone has encountered something similar and can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance.

    @Eric: hitting cntrl+s works but can be tedeous on large galleries. I've been doing this but it can be a pain.
    @Jeannine: different topic than this thread but to answer anyways... Lightroom automatically saves all changes into your catalogue. You never need to dave your changes (here's the kicker though) as long as you do not move the original file. If you
    move the file than lightroom won't know that it's the same image as the one you've edited. Once you are done editing your image you will need to "export" the image to a new file (you don't wan to overwrite the original). If you don't export than only lightroom will have your edits. Lightroom is "non-destructive" Which means that it doesn't touch your original photo. Lightroom keeps a text file containing the instructions on what you did to make the edited version. Since your changes are just text inatryxtions you have to "export" the image to get your final image in a version you can put online, print, etc. But to answer your original question, I think you prob moves the original image. If not, could you give us more info?

  • File.execute() not working for bat file

    Dear all,
    The purpose of my function copyToWinClipboard (text) is to get a string directly into the Windows Clipboard. The purpose is to allow the user of my project just to paste into the open-dialog of the application EndNote. I’m not certain whether the FM clipboard (supported by the copy/cut/paste methods for Doc) really fills into the Windows Clipboard also.
    In the PhotoShop script forum I found the idea how to do this.
    #target framemaker
    // note the blank in the path
    copyToWinClipboard ("E:\\_DDDprojects\\FM+EN escript\\FM-11-testfiles\\BibFM-collected.rtf");
    function copyToWinClipboard (text) {
      var theCmd, clipFile = new File(Folder.temp + "\\ClipBoardW.bat");
      clipFile.open('w');
    //  theCmd = "echo \"" + text + "\" | clip"; // this doesn’t help either
      theCmd = "echo " + text + " | clip";
      clipFile.writeln (theCmd);
      clipFile.close ();
      clipFile.execute ();
    Running this script provides a short flicker (the command prompt), but the clipboard does not contain the expected string. However, when double clicking on the generated I:\!_temp\ClipBoardW.bat the clipboard is filled correctly.
    IMHO the execute method does not work correctly for bat files. In another area of my project-script i run an exe file with this method correctly.

    Hi Klaus,
    sorry for my late response.
    execute definitely works witch batch-files
    Here's a "batch" - example you can test.
    There are two methods to prevent window from closing:
    "|more" - kind of pagebreak
    "pause"
    var oTemp = app.UserSettingsDir + "\\tmp";
        var MyDosCommand = "ipconfig.exe /a|more";
        var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
        if (!oTemp.exists)
            var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
            var lFehler = MyPath.create();
        oTemp = oTemp + "\\" +"nw.bat";
        var MyFile = new File (oTemp);
             MyFile.open ('w');
               if (MyFile.error > "")
                    alert("ERROR");
            MyFile.writeln(MyDosCommand);
            MyFile.writeln("pause");
            MyFile.close();
            MyFile.execute();

  • "Open With"  CS3 not working for JPEG file

    Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
    I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
    ...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
    ..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
    The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
    I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    After a long search I found the answer:
    To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
    Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
    Click the file Types Tab.
    Wait for the list of file types to populate.
    Single click on the jpeg file type.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Highlight open and click the edit button.
    Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
    A few OK's and you are done.
    AND ANOTHER THING .........
    After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
    Start / My Computer
    Click Tools at the top of the screen.
    Click folder options .... then the file types tab
    Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
    Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
    A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
    A couple of OKs and you are done

  • Video cutting not working for mpg files.....urgent pls...

    hi,
    i have a code which should cut a video according to the time specified.... and write it back in a seperate file..... this works well for avi.....but not for mpg..... i want it only for mpg..... can anyone help pls.... i ll send u d code if need be....
    thank u....

    I have exactly the same symptoms.  I fell across a list of features that "disappeared" with the introduction of PSE 12, and lack of video thumbnails was listed.  The workaround was to do a "frame capture" and magically use that.  How is *that* done?
    And in any event, a doubleclick on the empty icon brings up a player that runs the audio, no video.
    Help, please.  ;~)

  • Wait_for_file() not working for certain file names

    Data Services Version: 12.1.1.3
    OS: Windows Server 2003.
    Hello,
    I'm using wait_for_file to poll for files in a certain directory. I've used this in the past for other projects and never had an issue until now.
    What seems to be happening is with certain file names, wait_for_file is returning a 1 (meaning at least one file found), however the file list is coming back as blank.
    For example:
    If I put a file name called cs.p.P110113CN.b.110114 in the directory, I get a blank return file list.
    If I then rename this to 110114, it works fine.
    Here's the code I'm using:
    wait_for_file($GV_InputDirectory || '*',0,0,1,$GV_InputFileName);
    $GV_InputDirectory varchar(1000)
    $GV_InputFileName varchar(100)
    Any ideas why this might be happening? Renaming the file isn't really an option as it's a standard format that we've used for years.
    Edited by: Craig Cartmell on Mar 7, 2011 11:16 AM

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    $GV_InputDirectory is set to
    wcs-dev-boweb2\c$\DebtManager\Dev\Interfaces\Bulk Payments\Agency\credit-security\Input\.
    I'm wondering if it's something to do with the length of the directory/filename combined?
    If I place a file called "110114" in there, wait_for_file() works perfectly. If I change it to "cs.p.P110113CN.b.110114", I have problems.

  • Delete all files in a directory not working for some files

    I have a requirement like wants to delete all the files in a directory. (These files got generated through some other program.)
    Problem is file.delete() is returning false for some of the files..
    (donno the reason .. could be bcoz of file closing issues/locking issues.)

    are you on windows? if so, it's almost impossible to delete something another process has open.

  • Quick look not working for office files from mail

    I installed the new Microsoft Powerpoint on my ipad to check it out.  I didn't really like it so I uninstalled it.  Now when I am in mail and try to view a Powerpoint presention (or any other office file), quick look opens with just the name and size of the file rather than letting me view the file.  I am assuming installing Powerpoint somehow disabled Quick View for those files.  How do I fix this?  I really need to be able to read office files from Mail on my ipad!!

    It sounds like you may have 2 different programs that support quicklook differently. I suspect the .doc files are different formats that are using one or the other application.
    A quick test - select a file with the full preview. Get info on it in the Finder (File > Get Info) see what application it is set to open with by default. I suspect this will be TextEdit or MS Word. Compare this to a file that has no preview in quicklook. Change over the default application to the other application and see if the preview appears.
    My understanding is that the software has to be aware of quick look to parse the document and create the preview. It could be that one of the softwares needs an update, or is too old to support quicklook.
    you should be able to see the version number by opening the application and using the About menu under the Application menu. Post them here if the above doesn't work.
    You may also compare the 'Kind' in the info dialog, it could be that they are slightly different formats. Opening and saving may generate the previews (keep the originals if you do this!)

  • Icon preview not working for occaisonal file

    Hi y'all.
    I'm using Illustrator CS4 and there is a particular file that I cannot seem to save with an icon preview.
    And yes, I've selected pdf compatibility, with no success.
    Could it be that I'm resaving an old file that was originally created in Illustrator 10?  Could it be related to the use of many patterns?
    Any other suggestions?
    B.

    Hello to both of you.  Sorry for the delay in response!
    Yes, I've tried doing a "save as" - even to different places on my hard drive.
    And yes to the other suggestion: my folder prefs do say show icon preview.
    Any other thoughts?  Could it have something to do with the patterns I've used?  Patterns can do weird things, I hear....

    I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
    Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
    Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
    One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.
