Files Keep Coming Up Missing
Everytime I log into Lightroom, random files keep coming up missing and I don't know. I am definately not moving anything around and it's very randon on the files it loses. This has been happenign a long time, at first I thoght it something I was doing but Im confident now that it's not me since Ive moitoring it very carefully.
Has anyone else delt with this?
Right, the files aren't missing from the computer, but Lightroom shows them as missing or cannot find the file. Im using Windows XP and the latest version of Lightroom. It's not a memory or hard disk problem, that has been checked.
Im not sure what Catalog Intergrity Checks are?
Don, I couldnt see your thread. :(

Can't convert file keeps coming up with message "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online.
Hi Dude291,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble with ExportPDF. Can you please tell me a bit more about what's going on, so we can get to the bottom of the issue?
What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the browser cache?
Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
Are you able to convert other files? Or is the error specific to this one file?
How large or complex is the file that you're trying to convert?
Are you accessing ExportPDF from a networked computer that may have firewall/proxy settings that are limiting access to the Internet?
I think that's good for starters. Please get back to us with some detail about the problem and we will see what we can do.
Best,

PDF files keep coming with old file name not as current file name
Hi,
I have a problem when exporting InDesign docs to PDF with some documnets. If I change the name in the export dialog box, then every time I export this doc to PDF in the future this name keep coming, even when I change the name of the document or save it in a new name. This causes confusion, since sometimes the name is completely different from the InDesign file name. What can be done to tell InDesign to save the exported PDF file according to the current file name and don’t remember the old PDF file name?
I was thinking of a script, is there a ready one to use?
ThanksThanks for the tips, very useful indeed.
Though it is bit hard to have everyone in the studio follow them as a routine. I way I used to do this is to go to Save as command, with right mouse I choose copy the highlighted document name, then I choose cancel, then when I choose to export I'll paste the the name which is the current file name, this is good for me, but I wouldn't dream of having this as a routine for everyone in the studio.
I was thinking it would be easy if I can find a script, since I don't know scripting, to do just that, i.e. have Indesign to copy the current filename of the document (whether by doing the same trick as I am doing or if there is a direct command to do that in the script), then the script will go to the export dialog box, paste that name, then I will go on with the normal export dialog box options.
This script will be easier to have everybody in the studio to follow.
Appreciate your help.

Firefox setup file keeps coming up on screen
whenever i open firefox the popup you have chosen to open FIREFOX SETUP 3.6.11.EXE which is a binary file from hhtp://ftp.halifax.rathaachen.de would you like to save this file? save or cancel. no matter what i do it just keeps coming back up on opening firefox?
Try to clear the Download list or remove that file from the list if you want to preserve a list of downloaded files.
See Tools > Downloads
You may need to delete downloads.sqlite in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] if the problem persists. -
PE4 "Where is the file" keeps coming up
On a slideshow that I created in Photoshop Elements 6 and saved as a wmv file then finished with music and credits and bonus clips in Premier Elements 4, keeps saying "Where is the file IMG 123 jpg" I have gone back to Photoshop to see what is missing in my slideshow because I did recently change the name of some photos...BUT, I changed them in photoshop so that I could avoid this problem.
When I open the slideshow in photoshop, it doesn't tell me something is missing. I saved it again as wmv to be sure I have a clean copy, but it still pops up missing in premier.
If there is a way to see which picture it is saying is missing while in Premier, that will be helpful. I have done a search in my computer for this file, but can't find it. It seems to have been either moved or deleted because I see the photo number before the one that is missing.
How do I either see the picture they are talking about or how can I find the missing file.
Thank youHi, Kathy--
Since version 5, Photoshop Elements has incorporated into its workflow a slideshow interchange format, which sends the slideshow to Premiere Elements at full quality. You can even break the file apart in Premiere Elements and continue to work with the native photos!
It only works with matched versions, however. Which means Photoshop Elements 5/Premiere Elements 3; Photo Elements 6/Premiere Elements 4; Premiere and Photo Elements 7.
To use it, just select the option to Send to Premiere Elements from the Photo Elements Slideshow Creator. (I do recommend, for best results, that all of your photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels though.)
There's much more information and step-by-step instructions in my Steve's Tips article in the members area at Muvipix.com.

I have purchased video converting software/program called Wondershare. I can take a link for a video at youtube, paste that link into Wondershare and download it, then convert it to MOV file, so that I can use it in iTunes and it will be compatible in that format.
When I finish with the conversion, I drag the new file into iTunes and try it out. It works. But....when I go back to a video later I get a pop-up message that reads;
"could not be used because the original file could not be found."
This is the important part of the message, but not the full message.
I thought maybe I need to keep the other file from the desktop, because deleting it might be causing the problem. That does not make sense to me, because once the file is dragged into iTunes it should always be there.
Anyway, saving the file on the desktop and not deleting that one, does no good and the problem still exists. However, some videos don't seem to have a problem even though I went through the same exact process with them all.
Thanks for any Help with this,

OLD TRASHED FILES KEEP COMING BACK
Some of you Gurus will probably find this most amusing, and it was amusing to me at first, but now it's getting on my nerves.
PROBLEM:
A few weeks ago, I downloaded a bunch of old western movie MP4 files into my Finder Movie List. I then converted them to VOB files so I can put them on my External Hard Drive and view them on my TV.
I somehow accidently deleted them and also emptied my trash with them in it. These files were all around 1.5 to 2.0 GB in size.
ATTEMTED SOLUTION:
OK, so I thought no problem, I still have the original MP4 files, but when I tried to convert them to VOB, they almost instantly popped back into my finder list, retrieved from the bits and pieces left from the original VOB files I had trashed, and in very low quality 1 MB or less files. ..... useless.
So now I have to figure out how to prevent these old low quality VOB files from re-populating my play list of VOB files.
I know one of you smart guys out there can help, it's just a little over my head.
Thanks so much everyone.
Now you can laugh.Seeing as none of the smart guys answered this, I thought I'd have a go instead. Please lower your expectations.
It sounds like you need to empty a cache or delete the application's .plist perhaps.
What is the application you are using to convert these video files? -
Mysterious locked textedit file "~" keeps coming back
Since a few days suddenly a TextEdit document appears at the top of my folder list on my HD. The file is called "~" and it's 2.5MB in size. I had to change the permissions to open it. The file contains a lot of text, mostly gibberish, but I also recognize a lot of stuff that's on my computer. I ran a virus check, but everything is fine. I threw the file away, but a few hours later it was back again. I'm not comfortable with the whole thing, as it feels like malware to me, even though I have no idea what malware would look like.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I'm working on a MacBook Pro (late 2013), MacOs 10.10.2
Thank you for your help!
Daniella1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The test results are on the Clipboard.
Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

Deleted files keep coming back into the / directory
Tried both finder and cli deleting some files erroniously placed in / but they are back after I startup or re-boot.
Also, my desktop settings will sometimes go back to a previous setting. Location is set to automatic at home I get Black and white desktop and at home I get Aqua. I imagine that the os sets this by remembering setting based on dhcp server response, but I'm not sure.
Please explain,
ReeceProblems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there. -
I'm a PC user with an itunes account for several years. I updated my itunes and now it wont open and shows me 'missing file MSVCR80.dll,and error 7(Window error 126)' keep coming up even after re-installing itunes . What should i do?
Click here and follow the instructions.
(98897) -
I have been getting the MSVCR80.dll missing message.
Been on the Apple site and following instruction.
Going down the list has instructed I have Deleted I Tunes.
Deleted Apple Software Update
But when I try to delete Apple Mobile device it wouldn't delete so went into program files has the instructions say by going to Program Files\common Files\Apple\Apple Mobile Device Support Folder.
It still wouldn't delete saying it was being used.
I opened the file and highlighted all the folders and pressed delete, most of them have disapeared into my recycle bin but the folder still holds AppleMobileService, AppleMobileDeviceService_main.dll and MobileDevice.dll.
Message when I right click the first file is AppleMobileService I am told this action can't be completed because file is open in Apple Mobile Device. Close and Try again.
When I click the next file AppleMobileDeviceService_main dll it says It comes up with This action cannot be completed and File description Apple Mobile Device Service. Company Apple Inc. File Version 17.323.0.9 Date Created 7/9/2013. Try again...... and finally MobileDevice.dll come up with same message but file version 710.0.0.4 Date Created 7/9/2013 Size 902KB Both say Try Again but the same thing just recurred.
I have left my lap top on hoping that I a swift reply.
I am certainly no computer wizard and simply trying to follow the instructions to get rid of the box which keep coming up everytime I switch the lap top on saying APS Daemon.exe-System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I had looked at the internet and there appears to be warnings not to click on the button.
I have had an apdate from Apple for the I Tunes but it wouldn't update. I thought that may have sorted it so whilst I had a few hours I thought I would go through the process that is advised on Apple's website.
I hope I have not ruined my computer. I haven't even tried deleting Bonjour or Apple Application Support (I Tunes 9 or later) has these are supposed to come after the step I am on.

I can not burn a CD with my itunes anymore. It tells me to re download itunes. I have done that and still have the same problem. When I do try, Missing disc recorder keeps coming up. Please help!!!!
Hello again, Stew.
Also when I open itunes it gives me a warning and says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importingand burning cd's and dvds are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
With that one let's first try a reboot and repair.
Reboot the PC (very important), and the do a *repair install* of iTunes.
Go to your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch without the error message now?
If no luck there, try checking for a device filter conflict in your registry:
