Files moved? Help please

I have not used my itunes in a few months. Well today I decided to open it up play some songs and downloand a few new ones.
The new ones all play fine, but for all my old songs they have this error message
The song "song title" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
Where would it go? Have not done anything to my computer or anything. I have 1300 songs I hope I dont need to reinstall every one. Or do i blow it up and export them all from my ipod again?
I have windows vista

Try using iTunes Folder Watch to work out where iTunes "thinks" your files ought to be. Perhaps you can just move them back.

I can't load raw files from a Leica d-lux 6. Says it's an unsupported file. Help please!

I cannot load raw files from a Leica d-lux 6. Aperture says it's an unsupported file. How do I get it to be a supported file? Help, please!

What is your Aperture version? Here is the list of supported raw formats for Aperture 3, see: Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
Your camera is not on the list. Use the software that came with your camera to convert your raw files to dng or tiff images; then you can import the images into Aperture and work with them, while waiting for Apple to release raw support for your camera. Or shoot raw+jpeg pairs and use the jpeg while you are waiting.
Is Mac OS X (10.5.1) really your current operating system? Then you may need to upgrade, when Apple finally releases raw support for your camera. The newest raw support required Aperture 3.4. to be installed.

Moved user - files missing - help please

My hard drive is about full so I installed a second, much bigger drive. I want to keep the small drive as the boot drive and use the new drive for data. So..... I moved the user files to the new drive. Now lots of file, most importantly some pictures, are missing. How do I tell the system where to look?
Thank You

I have not continued to use the computer at all. I shut it down when I discovered the problem and have been using a different computer to access these boards.
How did I end up with empty folders? I don't know, doesn't make sense to me. All I can tell you is what I did.
First I moved the entire user folder from the small drive to the large drive. Then I spot checked folders and files inside the user folder hierarchy on the large drive.
When everything appeard to be there, I deleted the user folder on the small drive and shut down the computer.
Later, I discovered the empty folders on the large drive.
So, after attempting data recovery, I probably will reinstall the system. That brings me to a whole new set of questions.
How do I change where Safari, or FireFox writes the cache?
How do I change where the OS X diskUtility save data in preparation to burn a disk?
How do I install the system so that the system files and possibly the applications and utilites are on the small drive, but all data files, including the user folders and all cacheing files, are on the large drive?
What data recovery and/or disk maintenance software do you recommend? ( I can't see the link you mentioned.)
I'm familiar with Unix, but forget it underlies OS X. Else I might not have tried to just move the user folder.
Thanks
Thanks

Property file usage help please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

hi there
i need some help on using property file, please. i have a package that contains many directories and classes. in one the directory, there is a property file: properties. and some of the classes need to access information in the file. how can i use ResourceBundle or Property objects to read the file? this is my guessing :
//code....................................
ResourceBundle.getBundle("D:\\tomc\\wowExchangeProject\\soaptest\\src\\com\\wowgao\\uddi\\db\\properties.properties").getString("implementation");
and:
//code....................................
File f=new File( configFile );
if( f.exists()) {
Properties props=new Properties();
props.load( new FileInputStream(f));
DBClassName = props.getProperty("implementation");
i must use absolute path for the file. what if i need to distribute the package on other machine that does not have D drive. how can change it so that i can deploy it on any machine? thanks

Let�s say you have the following structure:
- com/props/props.properties
You can use any class inside the classloader that loaded this package to do the following:
InputStrean in = <classname>.class.getResourceAsStream("/com/props/props.properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(in);
Hope this can help you. Any doubts just ask!

How to fix the download arrow. Won't show me recent downloads even though I would have downloaded a file. Help please.

I recently downloaded a zip file and when I unzipped the file my arrow stopped showing me recent downloads. It will show the effect of me clicking but won't show any files that I may have recently downloaded. Please help as this is the fastest way for me to do my schooling and work when I am given documents.

If the list attached to the arrow is cleared, does the link "Show All Downloads" appear and let you view the earlier downloads? The keyboard shortcut for that is Ctrl+j if you are a keyboard person.

How to Export a HIGH QUALITY .avi file. help PLEASE

Hi, I am trying to export my movie to an avi file, so I can upload it on youtube. I've done some searches online, but have not found any answers that work. I keep getting very low image quality, no matter what settings I choose. I've gone into quicktime preferences and saved the file in "high quality" and that doesn't work. How can I export a movie file with the same image quality as the original project? I'm using Explicit to split the file into two parts, but it can only handle .avi files. Please help!

Ah, I just converted it with the wrong compressor. I used DV/DVCPRO-NTSC prog. scan and it looks beautiful.

IMovie wont accept .mov files. Help please.

I have imported a bunch of movie files from my digital camera. They are now in IPhoto and everything is fine. I would like to import them into IMovie to do some editing but for some reason it will not accept the file. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? All of the files i am trying to move into IMovie are .mov files. Shouldnt they work? Please help.

Not necessarily. MOV is a generic file container -- not a compression format. It can hold any audio and video compression format combination compatible with the QT structure and currently installed QT components. (Even WMV content can be placed in an MOV container.) Unfortunately, iMovie '08 will only import files containing compression formats that it can edit "natively." Kodak digital cameras, for instance, tend to favor MPEG4/µ-Law compression. And, while the MPEG-4 video is compatible with iMovie '08, the µ-Law 2:1 audio compression is not. To import an MOV file, both audio and video compression must be compatible. In the case of the MPEG4/µ-Law file, only the audio format has to be converted to make the file compatible. One way to do this is to use GarageBand to access the "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and "Pass through" the video which converting the audio to AAC -- mono 64 kbps at 44.1 kHz will work here -- and place both in an MP4 container. Another method is to simply convert both audio and video to compatible formats using a converter of your choice.

Why can i not get my files? help please!

I used to have a macbook, running snow leopard, always up to date etc, and it was full of pictures, movies, music, all of which I backed up onto a shiny new time capsule.
cut to roughly 6 months later, the hard drive on my macbook dies, but i think it's all ok, i have it all in my time machine. no problem.
I was wrong.
I decided it was time to buy me a new laptop, so now have a macbook pro. very nice. however, it seems that I am unable to migrate any files. almost like they are not even there

Iweb - Grayed out File menu - Help please!

Hi, I am traveling away from home on a 3 week trip. I started up iweb on the plane yesterday and it wouldn't let me start a new page, or add anything. It is all grayed out. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Problem is I don't have my ilife disk if I need to reload the software. Any way to fix this problem with out reloading? Anywhere I can get it online?
thanks,
Jess
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) ilife '06 purchased in August

Hi jessica,
This could be a problem of not having the iweb 1.1.1 update.
Which do you have?
Also if you have the latest 1.1.2 but didn't get the 1.1.1.....welll go back and get 1.1.1
See if this helps or is even an issue w/ your setup.
Good luck
Please report back

Need iPhoto/Elements file system help please

I have over 8000 photos in various albums in iPhoto 9.
Some photos show up in multiple albums. I assume the various album pics are linked to the one actual picture file on the hard drive.
If I export one album at a time to Elements, will It actually save multiple copies of the same file on the hard drive?
Thanks for your help!
Len

iPhoto'09 allows you to import the albums/events selectively. However iPhoto'011 does not allow that from Elements Organizer.
In iPhoto'09. if you have organized your photos without selecting the preference of copying files in iPhoto library during import, which means, your iPhoto library keeps the references of the images. In such case if you import from iPhoto into Elements Organizer, organizer does not create separate copies.
But yeah in case of iPhoto'011, it does.

Program not executing in jar file. Help please.

I went through the tutorial about jars on the sun website and i created a jar file with a hello world program like this:
"cd E:\Batch
jar cfm test.jar m.txt test.class
PAUSE"
My m.txt contains this text:
"Main-Class: test.class"
The jar file is created. No errors.
Then i try and run the jar with this:
"cd E:\Batch
java -jar test.jar
PAUSE"
I get "NoClassDefFoundError: test/class"
All the dos command are run form batch files and everything is in the same directory.
I've searched around google and this website for answers but i have failed to find anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions i can try to fix this? I've ran out of ideas.

Ah thats what the problem was. That was driving me
mad thanks. So whatever you put in a jar file must be
in a package or you can't run it.

JahvahNo. You can also not put it in a package, but when you specify the main-class attribute in the manifest file, be sure that you don't tell it that it is in a package.

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

I don't know how to zip a file. Help please.

I am trying to send an attachment with an email. The attachment is too big and my email program won't send it. I want to zip the attachment to make it smaller. How do I do this? Thanks very much.

Be aware if you try to compress media files or images then you probably won't be able to reduce the size much as such files do not compress very well.
In such a case it is better to upload the file to one of the many available file hosting sites and send the links instead.

Songs in my itunes don't play anymore. It says it can't locate original files. HELP please.

The songs in my itunes no longer play. I have never had this problem before. I was trying to update playlists, etc. and the songs were not transferring to my Iphone. The error message for every song is that the original file cannot be located. It asks if you want to locate file. I press yes, but it says that it is not available. Does anyone know how to either locate the files or reinstall the music.

iTunes forum has the answers.

Can't open MTS files (AVCHD) - help please

I'm having trouble understanding a good workflow for my Canon HF S10 AVCHD camera. This stores files in the standard HD file structure (AVCHD -> BDMV -> STREAM), in MTS files.
I always shoot in 24p and need to do pulldown removal all the time. While FCP 7 allows you to access MTS files (as long as you keep them in their original directory structure) in the Log and Transfer window and ingest them just fine, there's no option there to do the pulldown removal there. Furthermore, Compressor will not allow me to open MTS files (whether or not they're in their original directory structure) to perform the pulldown removal I need.
As far as I've seen, the only thing I can do is to Log and Transfer first into ProRes, then go to Compressor and do the pulldown removal on those ingested files, writing back again to ProRes. But that's the old "making a copy of a copy", which I'd think would degrade the quality.
I'd like to open the MTS files and convert them straight to ProRes while simultaneously doing the pulldown removal so I can avoid recompressing several times and degrading the quality.
Ideas?

Yes, it's annoying that in Log and Transfer it won't remove the pulldown, but here's the workaround.
Log and Transfer as usual. Then create a droplet using Compressor that will remove telecine and transcode into your intermediate codec of choice (ProRes 422 or ProRes 422 LT would be my suggestions). Drag your original files onto the droplet and let it transcode them.
VoltaicHD is a good program for doing this in one step, but it is really slow in my experience. I find it faster to do it in two steps using FCP and Compressor than doing it in one step using Voltaic.
