Finding all missing files - not just music

My library had 39 missing files, the problem is I can only find 2 exclamation marks for 2 audiobooks I already knew had a problem. I've seen the new playlist trick for locating missing files (for example), but I don't think that will help me as I don't think the other 37 are in the music section - I can't find any exclamation marks anywhere in my 3000 songs. I did think that it might be related to podcasts, but again, I can't find any exclamations. Is there anyway of determining which files are the broken ones?

In the Inspector/Page pane under Background change the menu to Image File:
You will be asked to locate and select the file. You may have to play with the options, tile, stretch, fill to see which is the one to be used.

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

I transferred my music to a larger hard drive and when I went to sync to iTunes there half my library had a '!' next to the songs. After I located one song the question 'would you like itunes to find other missing files' came up. What does this mean?

I recently transferred my music from one external hard drive to another and when I went to sync it to iTunes half my music had a '!' symbol on the left side, which meant that the songs weren't located. When I went to locate one of the songs it asked me if I wanted iTunes to find other missing files, which I said yes. What happens next and what is iTunes doing to find the missing files?

iTunes is a database. When you import songs to the database, it records the location of that song, so that when you play, or sync the song iTunes knows where to look for it.
When you moved your music to a different location, iTunes can't find it because you didn't tell iTunes that you moved the music.
You'll have to re-add those songs that you moved to your itunes library. Your best bet is going to be to delete all the songs in your library and then go to File > Add folder to library > and then find your music folder on the new external hard drive.
Also, the external drive HAS to be connected in order for iTunes to find it.

General searches do not find all applicable files

all files meeting a search category in Finder do not show up in the results. Even when I search for a known specific file by the exact name it does not show up when searching for it in Finder. The same thing happens when I search in Adobe Bridge. any ideas?

some guides

"All My Files" not working correctly

I'll keep this as brief as I can.
Problem: In Finder "All My Files"
Purchased iMac 27inch a few weeks ago.
Moved all my music and photos onto the new computer.
AMF just shows nothing.
Rang Applecare, they got me to do numerous things (refresh spotlight, refresh the finder preference files, complete restore of OSX) but in the end it had them stumped.
Returned back to Applestore, they said they had seen it before but as mine was only a few weeks old they would replace.
Got it home yesterday, checked AMF as I was moving music and pictures onto it from external HDD all working fine, files appearing as you would expect.
Today, checked AMF, only two files showing (about downloads, about stacks) nothing else.
I'm at the point where I am just going to ignore the problem, not ideal I know but still.
Could this be a bug with OSX? Something I am doing wrong?
Any replies appreciated.

I would recommend restarting your media migration and use Migration Assistant, it's the easiest and quickest method. AppleCare can help you through that, when you call let them know the history so they can help you start with a clean slate. If you have an Apple Store in your area I'd strongly recommend booking an appointment with a Genuis who can walk you through the process. If you want to go to the trouble of bringing your iMac and EHD with you they will also help you.

Apple script to find all duplicate files

Is it possible to write an applescript to find all duplicate file names on my hard drive? My hd is almost full, and if I can delete duplicate files, it'll save me from having to buy another external drive.
Thanks,
George

Why would you have found 20GB of duplicate images? iPhoto has built-in duplicate detection, it can remove any duplicates or prevent them from being imported altogether. Did you disable this in iPhoto for some reason? Or were you still using folders and subfolders to store your photos?
Just because two pictures have the exact same filename does NOT mean they are identical. If this application you used simply compared their filenames, it's possible you actually lost all those photos and not just some duplicates. ;( Because many cameras reuse filenames after a certain point!

How do I get list of 'ALL' Missing files?

How do I get a list of all missing files? I occasionally get a message that a certain file can't be found. I know where they all are - on another drive.
I don't want to just try to add all of the files onto the prime loactaion because It's likely that I will get a huge file of duplicate. From past experience the duplicate feature in this programs is very poor. I should mention that all files are from on own CD's & are without DRM.
If I get the complete list I can easily just copy missing files to main drive.
Thanks in advance

You can right click a folder and choose Synchronise - it has a Show Missing Files buttom.

Outlook 2010 show all users presence not just those you added to Jabber?

A customer has requested that in Outlook 2010 that Presence state is show for all users. Not just those that have been added to their Jabber for Windows 9.7.1 client.
Is there any way to do this?
J4W 9.7.1
IMP 10.0.1SU1

So for all users in consideration; kindly check if the proxy address field in AD is populated with the following format or not;
SIP:uid@sipproxydomainname ... ( this is also the IM address and please note prefixing with the word SIP: is really important).
Note this field will ensure whether you get the presence consistently or not. Refer to the following document for more information;

Here is the section that you may want to refer to; "Enable Presence Integration with Microsoft Outlook"

How to add a button in top ribbons of ALL library types (Not just document libraries)?

Hi there,
How to add this custom button on all Library Types (Not just document libraries)?
RegistrationId="101" RegistrationType="List" adds this button to Document Libraries only - which does not work for me.
Thanks so much.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a custom button on the ribbon of all the library.
You can refer to the following code snippet, it would add a custom button “Site Settings” on the ribbon of all the libraries.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Id="ListViewCustomization" Location="CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView" RegistrationId="101" RegistrationType="List" Title="List View Ribbon Customization">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Documents.Share.Controls._children">
<Button Id="ListViewButton" Command="ListViewButtonCommand" Description="Go to Settings" LabelText="Site Settings" TemplateAlias="o2" Sequence="93"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="ListViewButtonCommand" CommandAction="/_layouts/settings.aspx" />
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>

i backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it.
Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
-Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
Or
-Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
-Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
-From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
-Click the Restore Backup button.

I have a Windows 7 laptop using I tunes 64 and all my music files are
on an external disc. I rarely use I tunes and at one point moved all my files
(including the music files) from one external disc to another without
considering what affect this would have on the I tunes library. When I eventually
attempted to use I tunes, every selected a song from the library resulted in a
message stating that the file couldn't be located. After following some of the procedures
explained in this community I was able to reconnect the library back to where
the associated music files are presently stored. However, there are still 2
problems that need to be corrected. 1) Every song file now has a duplicate. One
file works and the other file will result in the same message stating that the
file couldn't be located. Before there were 4,000 songs in the library, now
there are 8,000 songs. I need to eliminate the 4,000 dead song files. 2) All
the playlists are still associated with the dead song files which makes the
playlists unusable. Can the playlists be reconnected to the usable files
without manually having to recreate them? Thanks in advance for the help.

So am I understanding correctly?
You used your iPod as a hard drive (drag and drop) instead of having iTunes install the music?
If you used drag and drop your choices are different than if you used iTunes to transfer.
Good luck!

How do I get a list of all missing files in a catalog in LR2?

Is there an easy way to get a list of all missing files for the thumbnails in Lr2? I know the symbol that appears in the upper right corner of any particular photo that is missing its file, but how can I get a list of all such photos for an entire catalog (or at least big chunks of a catalog).
Thanks.

You can right click a folder and choose Synchronise - it has a Show Missing Files buttom.

How to turn off all cellular service (not just data) without airplane mode?

Hi,
I work in a lab where cell service is minimal. In iOS8, can we turn off all cellular service (not just cellular data) without using airplane mode? It would also be helpful to be able to keep GPS on with all cell service turned off when hiking.
Thanks,
Matt

Unfortunately, no. To turn off cellular service, requires the device to be put into Airplane Mode, which also turns off the GPS receiver.

Can I back up stored docs, emails and notes from my iPad -- and not just music and photo's, etc?

Can I back up stored docs, emails and notes from my iPad -- and not just music and photo's, etc?
I see how I can store the latter -- but not the former. And I don't care whether it's to the cloud or to a hard drive, etc.
Thanks!

If you are using iCloud, you don't need to back up these items because they are synced with your iCloud account.

You're so welcome! Yeah, I would be hesitant to take such drastic measures to restore one program. You might even find you like the freeware better--many people do. You have a great day too!
