File organizations issues

I just upgraded from LP7 to LP9 and am having some trouble with my sample instruments. With LP7, I've had my sample files (EXS, Ultrabeat and Garageband) on a secondary internal hard drive with aliases in the default location under app support. So when I installed 9, I just copied the new sample files to the same secondary hard drive, and created the appropriate aliases. Of course, because of the new organization of sample instruments with 9, I ended up with a bunch of duplicate files. In trying to remove some duplicates, I messed some things up, so I decided to delete all the samples from the drive (after backing up of course), reinstall and then redo the copying/aliasing process. Since then, I've had a few problems.
First, Ultrabeat doesn't seem to be able to locate any of its samples. I've checked a few presets, and only the synthesized voices are working. Sometimes I get prompted to locate a certain file, other times not. Is there a quick way I can get Ultrabeat to relocate all these files? A few EXS instruments are also unable to find the files, but I get a different error message for these. Instead of prompting me to locate the sample, the message said something like "Error 43, file not found"--then Logic crashed. Does this mean it's something other than the sample files it can't find? Like the plugin preset or channel strip setting? I haven't moved any of these presets, only the sample files themselves.
Second, while I don't have duplicate sample files, I seem to have duplicate channel strip settings in my library. I'm not sure whether this is because of my LP7 content/Garageband content, or if its just the way things are organized. For example, the preset "South African Singers" exists in both Shared Garageband Settings > Choir and 11 World Music > African. I had the Shared Garageband Settings path already, because I had a couple of the jam packs before I upgraded, but I don't know whether or not this is where LP9 would have installed new jam pack content anyway. Can anyone confirm whether or not these duplicates should exist? They aren't a real problem, but if I'm cycling through channel strip presets, sometimes instead of jumping to the next preset in the current list, it will jump to the same preset in another location--this can be a little confusing. Also, in my instrument channel strip preset there are multiple folders with the same numerical prefix but different (though often related) content. For example, on the main level of my instrument channel strip settings, both "acoustic pianos" and "electric pianos" have the prefix 02.
Can anyone recommend a way to clean all this mess up? Should I delete all my channel strips and plugin presets and reinstall again? Thanks.

Music file organization issue.

Here's the thing. I'm a little bit OCD with the location and organization of the music files that are on my computer. Everything I have, music, movies, tv shows, apps are all sorted properly under the large folder of "iTunes Media". If I view the properties of the music folder, it overstates the number of files that are in that folder. So lets say I have 5000 items listed in the iTunes library. I know that all of these are files are located in this one music folder. If I view the properties of the music folder of where these 5000 should be located, it gives me what seems like a random number higher than the 5000 files. When I dig deeper into the music folder, (folders of all the artists) a folder with 10 files (songs), the property of that specific folder states that there are 16 files. In other words, the properties states there are 16 files, but once I get to the individual files of that folder, there really are just 10 files.
This has happened on many occations, with mulitple artists. What I have been doing to fix this is just deleting those folders (the artist) and copying them back from my external. When I copy them back, a folder with 10 files stated in the properties actually have 10 files. It's only later (and randomly) when the number of files balloon under the properties. Why is this happening?
I love to hear if the number of items in your iTunes library match the number of files that is stated in the properties of where ever your music files are organized. If you don't keep everything stored in one folder then they probably won't match up.
Maybe I should just get over it, but I'm just thowing this out there.
Thanks in advance.

It is possible that at some point perhaps when migrating your library from one machine to another, or backing it up, that you've ended up connecting to the wrong set of library files. Since your media folder appears to be in the correct location for a Mac I wonder if it is the library file that is wrong.
If you start up the iTunes with the external drive disconnected will the library load? If not, what happens to the location of the media path after you cancel the missing library dialog, connect the drive and restart iTunes?
Ideally you want both the library folder and the media folder to be in the same place, with the media folder being a subfolder of the library folder. If your library isn't currently in this layout then let me know where the two folders are and I will suggest some remedial action.

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Sara

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

Offline files - strange issue

I just took on a short film in which an assistant editor handled the log and capture / file organization and handed off the project to me on a harddrive. The footage was captured from P2 cards, and I am not familiar with logging from P2.
When I hooked up the HD in my own studio, a good 20 files showed up as offline. Strangely, I couldn't find any of the offline files searching throughout the project (though it is a very dense project and I could just be missing them). So, I did the obvious first thing to do and did a search within the project file for the offline clips. The search results for some reason showed clips with different names than those I was searching for, and these clips weren't even offline. I looked at all columns in the browser, and no fields listed the name I was searching for. Last, I did a spotlight search in the finder for one of the files in the offline file list and did find the file, though when I manually navigated to it in the reconnect window, it did now show up as a file with a matching name.
What is going on? Why does the search not show the offline clips and how can I locate these offline clips?

**** .. I hadn't heard that, and we are not able to cut in FCP 6.
Well since I've scavenged the project for offline files and have found none, I guess I'll just attribute the issue to working with P2 in v5. Hopefully this isn't one of many issues I'll have (crosses fingers) .. thanks for the help!

PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs with Bridge or PS CS3.
This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right? Am I missing anything. here? Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work? Will I be at any disadvantage. Am I missing anything. here?

Recording File Size issue CS 5.5

I am using CS 5.5, a Balckmagic Ultra Studio Pro through USB 3.0 being fed by a Roland HD Video switcher. Everything is set for 720P 60fps (59.94) and the Black Magic is using the Motion JPEG compression. I am trying to record our sermons live onto a Windows 7 machine with an Nvidia Ge-Force GTX 570, 16 GB of Ram and a 3TB internal raid array (3 drives). It usually works great but more often now when I push the stop button in the capture window, the video is not proceesed and becomes unusable. Is it a file size issue or what. I get nervous when my recording goes longer than 50 Minutes. Help

Jim thank you for the response. I have been away and busy but getting
caught up now.
I do have all drives formatted as NTFS. My problem is so sporadic that I
can not get a pattern down. This last Sunday recorded fine so we will see
how long it last. Thanks again.

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

I am having a file moving issue with Adobe Reader XI

I am having a file moving issue with Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 32bit system. When Adobe reader is set as the default program for PDF files moving files from one directory to another takes over a minute, regardless of the size of the file. When the default handler is set to another program, like Nuance or PDF Creator, this is instant. What in Adobe Reader is causing this and what can I do to speed up file moving? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am using Windows 7 home edition and using Internet Explorer 10
The PDF's are online on websites that I am trying to open. Both on the site as well as trying in a new window.
Thank you

Windows Update Helps with File Size Issues?

I'm just wondering if anybody has recently noticed an
improvement related to the file size issue variously reported
throughout the forums?
I ask because our IT folks distributed a Windows update on 2
days last week and since the application of those updates I have
not experienced the freakishly large file sizes and the related
performance issues in Captivate. Unfortunately I don't have any of
the details of what patch(es) were installed, as it was part of our
boot script one morning and I didn't even realize it was updating
until I received the Reboot Now or Later alert.
Anyway, I was curious because I have experienced significant
performance improvement since then.

If you are using a remote workflow ... designers are sending off-site editors InCopy Assignment packages (ICAPs) .... then they need to create assignments in order to package them for the remote InCopy user. So there's no need to split up a layout into smaller files or anything. An assignment is a subset of the INDD file; multiple assignments -- each encompassing different pages or sections -- are created from the same INDD file.
When the designer creates the assignment, have them turn off "Include original images in packages"; that should keep the file size down.
Or -- like Bob said -- you can avoid the whole remote workflow/assignment package rigamarole all together by just keeping the file in a project folder in the Dropbox folder on teh designer's local hard drive, and have them share the project folder with the editors. In that workflow, editors open the INDD file on their local computer and check out stories, just as though they were opening them from a networked file server.
I cover how the InCopy Dropbox workflow works in a tutorial video (within the Remote Workflows chapter) on Lynda.com here:

E4200V2 file corruption issues

Hello,
I am getting file corruption issues when doing a file transfer onto the NAS (hard drive plugged into the router). Files are turned into folders while keeping the same filename. It happens occasionally.
I have firmware: 2.1.39.145204 installed.
Any remedy for this as it is a very serious problem.

The only known solution is to call linksys and ask them for a replacement router model that does not contain the bug. See thread link for details.

CC application file sync issue and CC App broken menu..

1. File sync from Photoshop CC has stopped working.
Photoshop reports the last sync time and date in edit>sync settings.
However in my Application settings I get the following..
Application settings are synced between many of your favorite desktop applications and Creative Cloud, allowing you to work consistently from any machine. To begin syncing, you will need to open your desktop application and click "Sync Settings Now".
You currently do not have any synced settings.
2. I have missing menu items in the CC app cog menu (I assume as reported on other threads) including "stop syncing", preferences/settings and other blank or greyed out items.
Prior to that I had the also reported dead CC app issue and uninstalled and reinstalled the app, which fixed dead app but left the munu broken.

Since the CC app messed up again and yet another reinstall, it is working (sort of, after several sync failures of lrcat) properly, including the menu, all be it very slowly considering the fast upload I have.
As is the setting sync finally.
Thanks for keeping me informed, oh wait, you didn't!

This issue is faced by only two users whereas on my laptop file is displayed properly without any issue.
What could be the reason behind this? Waiting for your valuable reply.
Thanks
