File in wrong drive.

location of file is on wrong drive. Says F drive, but really on C after downloading. Then it says missing file and then I cannot reconnect.

Have you gotten into Computer/Manage/Disk Management to explore the drives set up fuller?
I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, no Windows 32 bit. But, I am assuming that the route to the Disk Management is the same as I have indicated. What exactly is the problem when you go to access the drives information in Disk Management. No response to clicking on Disk Management to open the view or something else?
Let us back up a bit....
1. Before connecting camera to computer, you go to Computer and view the computer's drives there - what do you see - under Hard Disk Drives and Devices with Removable Storage? Just C and F? After you make a USB connection between the camera and the computer, what do you see in Computer for the drives C and F or C, F, and something else?
Details....
The camera is connected to the computer and to that Photo Downloader dialog via a USB connection.
When you do that, the camera folder should be represented as a removable disc in Computer with a Windows determined/assigned drive
letter. And, if you use the Premiere Elements/....../Photo Downloader dialog route, that drive letter should be available to you in the Source field of
the Photo Downloader dialog.
What I am suspecting is the following - when you made the camera computer USB connection, Windows gave the letter F to that Camera Folder and bumped it off the mirrored F drive, perhaps giving it another letter.
So please let us get into Disk Management. What goes unexplained with this theory is how you can save the import to F drive if the Save In of the Photo Downloader is set to a C location.
We will be watching for your reply.

MDT deploying boot files to wrong drive

We are experiencing a intermittent problem when deploying to hardware using media since upgrading to MDT 2013. Periodically when techs attempt to apply a image litetouch boots, runs through the initial steps, gets all the way past applying the image/applying
unattended, then reboots. The problem is when the machine reboots instead of booting into Windows and finishing configuration we get a black screen that states "An
operating system wasn't found. Try removing drives that don't contain an operating system". After going through logs and looking further into this it appears MDT is putting the image on the correct internal drive but from some reason the actual
boot folder is overwriting MDT's boot folder on our external media. Also the MININT and _SMSTaskSequence files are being put on the external media instead of C: (I'm not sure if that is normal behavioror not).
Here is my smsts.log if it's any help. If there are any other logs I should include please let me know.
smsts.log

No we always use USB hard drives. So far the only possible connection I've found is our 1 TB external drives seem to be having trouble. The ones we have that are smaller seem fine. Also even with the 1 TB drives it's not a constant. The drive may do 4-5
computers no problem, then on number 6 it just breaks.
The only thing we changed in our process was the upgrade to MDT2013, everything was fine while we were on 2012. I know flash drives are the preferred method for deployment, and we will make the switch if we have to. We would prefer to stick with the HDD's
however because it gives us room to keep other boot utilities, tools, and perform data backups as well as image all on one drive.

Receiving an export file error: wrong type

I have created a movie several times in FCP and then exported the movie to QT without any problems. Now all of a sudden, I can't get the movie to export correctly. After the 2 hour export, I'll check on FCP to find that the program has shut down without an "Unexpected Shut Down" message. I check for the exported movie which I find in the saved folder. I click to open and verify the completed job, but find that I get an error instead : "Error: Wrong Type".
The last successful movie I created was September 14th, prior to the QT 7.5.5 upgrade. I thought it was the upgrade, as I found out that FCP does not do well with the new QT version, so I reverted to QT 7.5, but I am still experiencing the same problem with FCP quitting and the movie not being able to read.
What is going on? Can anyone help?

Francois:
This is a crazy solution, but this happened to me last week and this solution enabled me to open my files again -- they were all greyed out and I thought I'd lost them. I took my drive in to an Apple Store Genius Bar without resolution and spend 2 hours online with ProApps (FCE/FCP) tech support, also with no resolution.
This fix is based on the fact that FCP when it is started, it automatically opens the project that was open when it was closed. First, in FCP save the current project (this can be any project -- I created a placeholder project -- to a dummy name -- I used "save me". Close FCP and delete the dummy name ("save me") project. Now rename the project that is greyed out and provides the File Error: Wrong Type message that you would like to open to the dummy name, so that it's now called "save me". Now open FCP again. Now save the recuperated file using the original name.

Advice for cleaning up files from my drive

I'm going through old directories and want to delete what I do not need from old projects and transfer what I do to other drives.
Is there any reason to keep:
1.) Thumbnail Cache Files?
2.) Render Files that have subfolders called Constant Frames?
3.) I found a whole bunch 2 GB files called Sequence 1-av1, Sequence 1-av2, etc. These files will not open when double-clicked on. A message indicating "File Error: Wrong type. displays, and when I drag them into the QT player, it indicates The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file. What are these? Can I delete them?
Thanks.

What's up, Nick?
If I delete my Compressor Files from my external hard drive, will my project files (my movie) still be intact without any changes at all?
How about my Color Files? Can I delete them from my external HD with out altering my project files (my movie)?
I'm working on a very short movie, and I have a 1TB external but it's almost full from all my different compressions and color gradings.
Also, can I delete older saved versions of my project without effecting my latest version?
Thanks,
Trey

File Error: Wrong File Type for Project File

Just had our 2nd LaCie 2tb hard drive crash. Just completed a project and was about ready to compress it when the drive wouldnt boot up anymore. I tried every program under the sun before eventually sending it off for data recovery.
$1700 dollars later I have all my files, except one little change.
My FCP project files are not recognizable by FCP anymore. In the get info box it says they are "Kind: Final Cut Pro Document" The preview picture is a gradient box with exec in the green text in the upper left corner. I tried adding the .fcp extension, but it still wouldn't open it. I keep getting the "File Error: Wrong File Type" when I try opening it with FCP.
Anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks

You might give the following a try...
1. open the .fcp file with TextEdit
2. save the file again
3. open with fcp

File error: wrong file type

So my friend dropped my MacBook Pro the other day and broke my hard drive. Most of the data (well, 300 out of 500G) was recovered, but all I *really* cared about was the FEATURE LENGTH FILM I'd spent the last 4 months editing. And of course it was too big to fit on my external hard drive and I'm too broke to buy a new one, so if I can't get it open from the recovered data I'm going to have to re-edit the thing.
The file itself did seem to survive the data recovery process, but when I open the file, it gives me an error: "File error: wrong file type." I've played around with the extensions- first saving the extensionless file as a .fce (this is actually FCE, not FCP, but I thought people might have better answers in this forum), which didn't work, then tried saving it as a .txt, then resaving as .fce, which also didn't work. No matter what I do, it's still giving me the "wrong file type" error.
Is my data probably just corrupted and I'm screwed? Or is there anything else I can try to recover the project? Most of my source files seem to have survived (although they all lost their .mov extension), but the Final Cut file itself just won't open.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Amy

You might give the following a try...
1. open the .fcp file with TextEdit
2. save the file again

FCP File Error: Wrong Type

A EXT HD w/ 1TB worth of FCP Projects and it's media died on me. (no, none of it was backed up, please save me the lecture!)
Anyway, we sent it to one of the Drive Recovery places and they were able to retrieve about 95% of the files.
When I got back the new drive w/ the rescued files It seemed like it was all there until I tried to open one of the .fcp files and encountered this:
FCP File Error: Wrong Type
I checked the file's info to see if it was associated w/ FCP. It was...
I checked the Capture Scratch files and found that all of the Quicktimes did not have their ".mov" extensions. I added ".mov" after one of them and it opened successfully in the Quicktime Player. I tried moving this same file to FCP and encountered this:
File Error: Unknown File
As an experiment I took the same quicktime (which BTW is an HDV 1080i60 Quicktime) and dropped it into Compressor. I converted it to the same setting (HDV 1080i60) After the conversion I was able to pop it into FCP normally.
So what do you guys think? Is there anyway I can get these .fcp files to open? Am I totally screwed?
Thanks,
-B

Yes, a .fcp extension means it's a FCP project file. I'm not dragging/importing .fcp's into FCP, just trying to open them normally w/ no luck. It's the QT's I've been dragging/importing into FCP.
I've tried a few Resource Editors to change the way the .fcp project files are handled/read w/ no luck
Well, at least my QT's are intact...

File Error: Wrong type

Hi,
I have been archiving some old finished videos (as self-contained QTs) on a server that is PC based. I have a feeling that this may be a problem. I'm right, right?
On a related note, I now have some QTs that will not open, with error messages like
'File Error: Wrong type.' (FCP)
and
'Error opening movie
The movie could not be opened.' (QT)
The fun part is that I cannot remember exactly which had been moved over there (I had a couple LaCies die on me and in a rush transfered a bunch of stuff back and forth trying to stay ahead of the crash), but now they're back on Mac based externals. But won't open.
Any advice is tremendously appreciated.
Thanks,
Ariel.
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 LaCie Big Disk Extreme, 1 Maxtor 500Gb, FCPHD 4.5, QT Pro 7.1.3

Okay, thanks for the help. I'm pretty swamped right now, but by next Monday I will have gone through all of them. I will post back then with any info that may be of interest.
So, for the future, I should either stay away from non Mac OS formatted drives for my media, or zip them before sending them over. (by control clicking and archiving)
(sigh) Thanks, guys. I'm still just trying to figure out the cheapest, quickest way to archive my old stuff. I guess tape is the best way to go.

Organizer Using Wrong Drive

Last night my attempts to import video and photo files into organizer failed miserably and I hope you can help. I have an assortment of videos in MTS format and photos in PSD format that I want to import into Organizer so that I can eventually use them in constructing a video and here is what happened when I attempted to use Get Media!Files and Folders: I was presented with the file browser and was alble to successfully select the file(s) I wanted to import from my Drive D and then started the import process. That process appeared to work just fine and during the processes I noted that it was reading the file(s) from drive D. However, when the import finished the thumbnail(s)s had the broken link image and when I clicked on properties the catalog indicated the file(s) were on Drive E which of course they weren't. This happened whether I selected single or multiple files. Attempts to reconnect the file(s) failed with a message that they were already in the catalog. Repairing the catalog, optimizing the catalog, and even creating a new catalog produced the same results. I feel something stupidly simple is wrong but I haven't identified it yet and I'm hoping one of you brainiacs can help. My system is:
Intel 7-980X
6GB memory
Windows 7 64-bit
160GB SSD Drive C (OS and applications)
1TB Western Digital Drive D (data)
2TB Western Digital Drive E (backup)
Adobe Lightroom 3.0
Adobe Premiere Elements 8
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8
Thanks in advance for your help.

I checked and just as I suspected each of my drives have unique volume labels. However, using the tool Barb (from Muvipix) suggested I discovered that my D and E drives had the same volume serial numbers. I guess I imaged my D drive to the E drive when I installed it months ago and it copied the VolSer. Once I changed the VolSer for drive E Organizer functioned as expected. The tool and process can be found at: tp://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/index.htm Once again, thanks for everyone's help.

I need to upgrade my Macbook Pro from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Will I lose any files on my drive if I do that?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade from that to Snow Leopard then to 10.7.5. I know that I have to do it in steps. My question ins this. I have a Snow Leopard disk that came with my Imac that I can use to upgrade my laptop. When I go through the process, it says something about using Timeline to restore. Am I going to lose all of my files? All I need is for the OS to be updated. Will it be safe to go through with it or will I lose all of my files on the drive. Any answers to this question are much appreciated.

You can't use the Mac OS X disc that came with another computer to upgrade another Mac because it's not supported. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You shouldn't lose data, but you must make a backup before

Crystal Reports XI String [255] limit with the File System Data driver...

I was trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report to return security permissions of files and folders. I have been able to successfully connect and return data using the File System Data driver as the Data Source; however the String limit on the ACL NT Security Field is 255 characters. The full string of data to be returned can be much longer than the 255 limit and I cannot find how to manipulate that parameter.
I am currently on Crystals XI and Crystal XI R2 and have applied the latest service packs but still see the issue. My Crystal Reports Database DLL for File System data ( crdb_FileSystem.dll ) is at Product Version 11.5.10.1263.
Is it possible to change string limits when using the File System Data driver as the Data Source? If so, how can that be accomplished. If not, is there another method to retrieve information with the Windows File System Data being the Data Source? Meaning, could I reach my end game objective of reporting on the Windows ACL's with Crystal through another method?

Hello,
This is a known issue. Early versions you could not create folder structures longer than 255 characters. With the updates to the various OS's this is now possible but CR did not allocate the same space required.
It's been tracked as an enhancement - ADAPT01174519 but set for a future release.
There are likely other ways of getting the info and then putting it into an Excel file format and using that as the data source.
I did a Google search and found this option: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/16772-45-display-explorer-folders-tree-structure-export-excel
There are tools out there to do this kind of thing....
Thank you
Don

Copy File From One Drive to Another & Missing Keyword Tags

Hi,
I use LR 2.7. I want to copy one file from one drive to another drive with the same file name. I thought you could drag the file, but it doesn't copy over the file in the other drive, can you explain what I have to do?
Also, I tried to import the folder into another drive, but it doesn't copy the keyword tags. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Barb

Hey Barb,
Well, if you use the Year/Month/Day/pictures_here format, none of the folders contains a massive amount of folders. It's not the number of folders that generates problems, it's having them all in _one_ folder that creates slow-down issues. Imagine if you had a deck of cards; look for one card... you have to go through all 52 cards to find it. But, if you broke it down into the 4 groups, you only have to go through 13, which is lots faster. Now imagine going through 15000 instead of 52...
Look at the way lightroom can automatically import by date; it has several preset formats. If you pick one of those, then when you import new photos, it will automatically create any missing ones, and you have lots less to do.
Depending on how much work you have already done, you might consider making a new catalog and just importing all of your photos again, and let it create everything quickly for you.
You could save all of your "edit" changes by writing out all of the xmp files first. But with 15000 files in one directory, this will double it to 30000 (one per image!), but will preserve all of your edits if you choose to make a new catalog approach.
As for combing catalogs, once you have one catalog the way you want it, you can select "import from catalog" and it will suck it into a new one, thus combining the catalogs. The only problem I can see is that it will import it in the format you already have it, so you have to organize it manually before you import it. Otherwise, you'll get your old format and your new format in the one catalog (but can then move pictures around if you need to).
Personally, I'd go the 'write xmp files, create new catalog' approach. Then just recreate my collections, etc.
But either way you do it, it will take some time processing, as that's a lot of files to start with!
Ciao!

Cannot delete file on NAS Drive

Hello,
I was creating a backup of the program VLC on my NAS drive. When copying the file to the drive, it gave an error (which I now cannot recall completely... something about cannot copy certain files). When I went to try and delete the corrupted file, it gave me error: "the operation cannot be completed because the item "lib" is in use". I've tried a lot to delete:
-restart computer/NAS drive
-try to delete on another MAC
-try to delete on Windows
-hold option delete, ****, command, etc.
Nothing seems to work. How can I delete this file? Thanks!

What your going to need to do is c boot and install OS X (10.6) from the disk, onto a blank external drive (format the drive first in Disk Utility: GUID OS X Extended (J))
Once 10.6 is installed, hold the option key and boot from the 10.6 external drive, go through setup with your same user name, and Software Update to 10.6.8
Then download and install DataRescue ($99) onto the external 10.6 drive and attach another blank external GUID OS X extended formatted drive and run DataRescue to recover your files to that drive. There will be a lot.
Data Rescue will read the 1's and 0's of the files themselves regardless of what your partition map says, before they are overwritten.
After that's done, access the second external drive and pick though the files to recover.
Once you have gotten all your data, you need to install all your third party programs on the external drive from original sources and update. Then move your files you've recovered to it.
Once that' is all done, erase one drive and download Winclone, and clone the Bootcamp Windows to the empty drive.
Then use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the entire internal drive of all partitions and everything. (select the drive makers name and size on the far left) Format GUID OS x Extended Journaled like always.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 10.6.8 external drive to the internal drive, disconnect the external drive and boot from the internal drive and then install Lion on the internal drive. You can hold option key, click on Purchases to download Lion again.
Use Bootcamp to set up Windows partition, then follow Winclones directions to clone Windows back into the Bootcamp partition.

Creating file on local drive while running the report on web

I am using text_io package to write data to a file in reports. When I run it on my local machine, it creates the file (in C drive) perfectly but, when I am running this same report on the report server, it doesn't create the file. Looks like report server doesn't understand where to create the output file. I hard coded the path(C:\xyz.csv) in my report as to where to create the file, but the report server is not creating the output file. Any suggestions how to create the output file on my local machine while running on the web.

Bhasker,
You will have to use destype=localfile
Please refer to appendis on commandlines in

I don't think there is a way to specify how to open a file of
NO type.
Why not rename them?
