Finding broken files

after changing computers I seem to have a bunch of broken files
I seem to bump into them when I'm syncing my 30g ipod
how can I find them?
I want to either be able to copy the contents of the list that comes up while syncing or
find all the files that are broken in my library

Well, either someone chose a different letter, or the drive letters were assigned from above by an IT department (and ordinary users are locked out of mapping new drives).
It's possible to map the same share twice, if you have the power to do so. So just remap V: to the same network share as Z: and you're good to go, for your own purposes. I'm not sure how you could set it up to cover the rest of your question (so that anyone else opening the file would not get the missing links dialog) without relinking everything yourself. I suppose it'd be scriptable.

  • Search in finder doesn't find my files in OS 10.8, upgrade from snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    after i upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion . when i try too search files on finder . it does not find any of them although all the files are still there .so i need scroll up and down for few minutes to find my file manually . what could be the problem ?? anyone can help me with this .. thanks in advance

    Hmm... didn't help me. But, I'm glad to know that I can "refresh" the search profiles. That may come in handy in the future.
    I'm having similar problems where I can see a file from within an application, but the file doesn't show up in a Finder search. The file I see in the application also isn't visible in that application's folder (where it's supposed to be stored, in this case).
    The file exists, because I'm able to work on it from within the application. However, it can't be found on the computer by any means I have available. I've spoken with the manufacturer of the software and they told me where to look for the file, but it isn't there (as far as I can see). Of course, they suggest the Finder is "broken" and needs to be fixed. I don't think that's the case. I can easily find other files without difficulty.
    Could what I'm looking for be a "hidden" file?

  • How do I find broken aliases

    I relocated some of the files on my iMac, not I don't know if such move has invalidated any existing aliases. I want to find all the broken aliases.
    I looked into Spotlight. It does not seem to have an option to do so.
    I opened the command window and tried to use the good old UNIX "find" command.
    find -L . -type l -print
    Only the good linked files are shown. All the broken alias (i.e. the alias points to a non-existing file because it moved or deleted) were not shown. I used one of the known broken alias to test if the search was effective. The answer is no. The broken alias is displayed as a zero size file. The UNIX "ls -l" command does not even show the "l" indicator in the permission code. A valid alias is shown with the "l".
    Please tell me if you know any trick to find all the broken aliases.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the information. For some reason, my file system still have a few invalid aliases. They may or may not be caused by the file move. They may be caused by changes in my external drive. Perhaps something was changed off-line or while I was in another login account. Apparently if User1 and user2 both have an alias on a file and when user1 move that file, user2 alias will not be updated. It may not have happened like that, but it appears to.
    Other than buying a software for the task. Is there anyway to find broken aliases using out-of-the-box Apple software tools?

  • When I inherit Form with binding DataSet why then designer find mdb file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'

    When I inherit Form with binding DataSet why then designer find mdb file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\' 
    Do I have to anything to change in my application settings or what I am doing wrong?
    When I inherit a plain Form with no binding DataSet then is all ok.

    I finally saw my longingly expected inherited window containing binding dataset.
    But only by way that I put mdb file right in to the this damn path.
    "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Zdrojove Data\ISMS2003.mdb" 
    In addition mdb file shall be clear too of password.
    We have many windows in our application and we have to work strongly good with inheritance of Form Classes.
    But how I will explain to my Boss if he click on that inherited window and will see this break window?
    Though I will advice to my Boss that hi have to copy too that MDB files to this damn path,
    but the best way could be to find what I need to change that this inherited windows shows without copy this MDB files to
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'
    When I check the settings for DataDirectory every paths looks good.
    Even if I set password for the mdb file I almost see only broken designer window.
    Only by copy this MDB file without his password to this path
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'
     I can see this inherited window right.

    Hi !
    If you've got the latest version of flash, the message should
    says
    something like "could not find the file flash8b.ocx" instead
    of
    "flash.ocx" (who is, it seems, flash 7.0).
    I suspect, once again, that registry rights are broken.

I am able to see the executable server in the ggate home.In addition to Steve's reply, note that the broken installation may actually be on the target system, not the (local) source system. Unable to find "server" may mean that your source GG installation is unable to send remote trails to the target system, because "server" can't be found on the target. When checking the target gg installation, also be sure you've configured your source system to send to the correct mgr port & correct remote host. You might be sending data to an older (perhaps (partially) uninstalled) version of GG.

  • Mavericks Finder Raw File Preview Error

    Me and my friends are having some issues with the "Finder Space Bar Preview" with RAW files. Some How it's showing an weird preview as if it's and broken file, but some times it come back to normal. This there anyone else having an same issue?

    Since upgrading to from Lion to Mavericks 10.9.1 I have this problem, but worse. Attempts to use Preview on .rw2 (Panasonic GX7 RAW) cause massive screen corruption and virtual system hang, requiring a reboot.

  • Deleting broken files in library

    Sorry if I am doing this wrong but this is my first post here and I'm not very familiar with this forum.
    ANYWAYS, I was wondering if anyone knows how/if its possible to delete all of the broken music files in my iTunes library at once, instead of deleting them all individually. I would like to know because I have MANY (I accidently deleted a music folder and erased all my music in that folder permanently) and it takes a long time to delete them individually. I have looked around and cannot seem to find that capability.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, sboyd92.
    MacMuse's User Tip should provide the solution to your problem.
    Below, I've taken the liberty of making a couple of minor changes in the wording that hopefully make it just a bit easier to follow:
    - Select the Music entry in your iTunes Source List (the left-hand column).
    - Select/highlight all the entries. Edit menu > Select All will do the trick.
    - Now go to the File menu > Get Info.
    - Confirm that you want to edit information for multiple items.
    - Assuming that you're not using it for actual song information, enter 99 in the BPM field. Press OK.
    - Wait for iTunes to retag the song files. Depending on the size of your Music Library, this may take a while.
    - Once that's finished, click on the BPM column heading in the main iTunes Library display to sort your songs based on the BPM entry. If the BPM column isn't showing, go to the View menu > View Options, check BPM and press OK.
    - Since iTunes wasn't able to find the files for the "dead" tracks, it couldn't retag them and they will be listed separately from the "live" (99 BPM) tracks.
    - You can now click on the first of the dead tracks and Shift-click on the last of them, then right-click > Delete.
    That should be it.
    As MacMuse suggests, you might now want to go back and take the 99 out of the BPM field in case you ever have to do this again.

  • Find Missing Files Automatically

    Is there a way to make itunes find missing files automatically?

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. This feature should work if the files are in the standard iTunes layout but on a different path from that expected by the library. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • Help:Can not find the file in jar!

    Hello everyone:
    I build a project using Netbeans 5.0 and make a jar file with it...
    The code in the project as follows will throw an exception described that it can not find the file named datasource-config.xml
    String dataFilePath = getClass().getResource(dataFile).getPath();
    //System.out.println("filepath:"+dataFilePath);
    InputStream input = new FileInputStream(dataFilePath);
    when I run the project with the main() function as an entry it works perfectly and output:
    filepath:/C:/projects/java_project/search/build/classes/com/cn/wxjt/lucene/config/datasource-config.xml
    But when I compressed the project with jar and run it , it will show:
    filepath:file:/C:/projects/java_project/search/dist/search.jar!/com/cn/wxjt/lucene/config/datasource-config.xml
    there is a (!) between search.jar and /com/cn/wxjt...
    I dont know why I generate a ! symbol in the file path... Is it cause the exception->
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: file:\C:\projects\java_project\search\dist\search.jar!\com\cn\wxjt\lucene\config\datasource-config.xml
    If you have any idea, plz tell me.
    Thank you and best wishes to you !
    :)

    If the file you want to read is in your jar file, use
    getClass ().getResourceAsStream
    (relative_path_file_name)Hope that help,
    Jackhey jack i want to open the file as new File
    i m using this.getClass().getResource("resource/backend.xml");
    the resource is the directory inside the jar file.
    when i prints the url it shows:
    the jar file is in the WORK directory
    URL : jar:file:/home/neeraj/WORK/show.jar!/resource/backend.xml
    now when i creates new File using the url.getFile() method the file does not exist.
    although the same programs runs well when i uses the InputStream
    so plz tell me cant I create a new File from the above method????
    thanks in advance
    with regards

  • Move all my music to another folder but Itunes can't find the files!

    I have all my music on my desktop in small folders for each artist.
    But now i don't have room anymore, because i have to much music.
    So i want to move it all in to a folder called "Music". But when i do that
    Itunes can't find the files, and i have to search for each file, to find the new location instead of the desktop. How do i move my music more easily? So i don't have to synchronize it all in again, with the right album covers and that..
    Please, need some help here!

    I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now.  Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it.  I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
    Outlook is still not working.  Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

    Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
    It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

  • How Do I use TM to find a file on my computers Idisk from today's backup?

    Where do I find the file that is on my Idisk's Time Machine Backup that was on my laptop this morning when TM backed up????? My Idisk had a problem this morning and when I sought help, they had me hit the stop and restart the syncing. The problem is that even though there was a file on my Idisk on my computer from last night, the Idisk syncing reset every file from the mobileme cloud to my laptop and the file on my mobileme cloud was from 2 days ago. Not the updated one from last night. I teach and my attendance is all taken and stored on the Idisk (and synced) from all my classes. Wed & Thursday attendances were on my laptop correctly. (I know because I checked BEFORE they told me to restart the sync button on preferences. My laptop did its normal BU this morning so I am trying to find the excel attendance file on the backup. Can anyone help????????
    I don't know why that happened but it did!!!
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Dear Thomas,
    I entered TM and found the sparsebundle under the Filesync library. However, it appears NOT to be recoverable and I tried double clicking on it but it doesnt do anything other than show a summary of what it is.
    By the way, I really do appreciate your comments and agree completely. Something strange happened with my syncing of Idisk (which is set to "automatic"). It has been working fine for years. But for some reason, it stopped two days ago and did not let me know. When I tried to put something manually on it (through drag/drop), it never showed up on the Idisk on the cloud which made me notice and check it out by going to Mobileme through the browser. I then went to the tech service for Idisk and they explained that something probably got corrupted so just hit STOP syncing and then hit Automatic again. Which is what I did. Then everything from the cloud went to my Idisk on my computer and for some reason, the latest version of my excel spread sheet for attendance showed two days ago, not last night. so I lost wed/thursday classes. I KNOW it was on my Laptop which is backed up to TM every morning.. Thats why I believe that the latest file IS on my TM backup for this morning. But I can't get to it. Any other help would be appreciated.

  • Can't find imovie file on my hard drive

    I have a imovie file on my hard drive that I can't find. I really want to delete it so
    that I can free up some room on my hard rive. It's at least 15 gigs big. I tried using the search icon in the upper right hand corner and I tried using the 'find' option under the 'finder' menu, searching for any files over 5 gigs in size. Can anyone help me find this file so I can get rid of it?

    An iMovie project is a package, not a file; the actual files inside it are smaller. Use a tool such as WhatSize to locate it.
