Garageband can't find audio files for each instrument

Every time I try and load a software instrument I get a message that says the wav or aiff file can't be found. It asks me if I want to search again but it doesn't let me search manually. Where are these files?

Thats weird. I can understand getting that message if you are trying to load a 'blue' audio loop, but not a 'green' software instrument.
The audio loops on my machine are in two places
1. Machintosh HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops for GarageBand AND JamPack 4 Synphony Orchestra.
2. Machintosh HD>Library>Application Support>GarageBand>AppleLoops>JamPack 2 & 3.
If you have not loaded any JamPacks or 3rd party loops and are just using the standard loops that come with GB then option 1 will be where your want to have a look.

Can't find init file for Database

Hi,
I just installed 9i R2 on Redhat 7.3 and when I create a database with dbca, the db is created and up running fine. However, when I shut the db down and try to restart it, it says 'Can't find init file for Database "db_name"'. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!

While connected as sysdba issue :
CREATE PFILE FROM SPFILE;
--This creates an initSID.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
You can edit this file to modify any init parameters.
To have the effect this these new parameters startup the database with:
STARTUP PFILE=$ORACLE_HOME/initSID.ora.
To create spfile with the modified values use:
CREATE SPFIL FROM PFILE;
Once you create the SPFILE and when you start the db, SPFILE will be used.
HTH
Thanks

Can't find audio file

Hello-
Using Logic 8 here on OS 10.5.8. I'm working on one project on two computers (at work during the day, and at home, during the night). While working I'm adding audio files to the project (audio files are being copied into the audi file folder for the project). However, when I move the project (with the entire folder, I mean copy the entire project folder including audiofiles to the other computer), when I open the project up on the new computer, I always get an error message saying that it can't find the new audio I had added while working on the other computer. The problem is, it changes the name of the files it wants... what happens is while working on computer 1 I add a file called "car" to the arrange and the file car is in the audio folder. Everything seems fine. However when I open the project up on the new computer (having copied the new "car" file as well) when it opens it says that it can't find the file called "car#F2EAE"... a file which I cannot find existing ANYWHERE on either computer (computer 1 or 2)... when I try to manually link the file "car" to "car#F2EAE" I get different results, usually something is changed, or I get an "invalid region" error and the audio file wont link. Does anybody have any idea what this is? I mean if I did something like timestrech the "car" file and it would create a new file then I could understand that, but still I copy ALL of the files that Logic is creating... it doesn't seem to be throwing any files anywhere else... I really don't understand. Any ideas why this is? The only big difference I can see is that the work computer is power PC imac and my home is an Intel Mac Pro... but still they run the same versions of the OS and Logic.

You have fallen victim to the atavism of Logic: it cannot handle filenames longer than 31 characters, it will rename those files in the style of your example. I bet the file was named carspeedingdownemptyhighwayandbraking.wav or something like that...
Sadly, the only way to avoid it is to keep filenames shorter than 31 characters.
There have been quite a lot of rants about this. And rightly so. It is a major omission that this restriction from the days of 40MB harddisks is still there.

IPhoto can't find pics - asks for each one individually

I imported 750 pics from a CD, but didn't have the iPhoto "copy files to iPhoto library" turned on. When I went back to edit the photo's after I had ejected the disk, iPhoto couldn't find the files. I realized what I had done, so I remounted the CD, copied the files to my HD, ejected the CD and then reopened iPhoto and tried to edit the photo's again. Once again iPhoto couldn't find the original, so instead of going through the relinking process for each and every photo, I selected them in iPhoto and deleted them. Then I went to "import", found the folders for the photo's on my hard drive and hit "Import" - Once again iPhoto asked where the photo's were - and wouldn't import them until I relinked each one. Why is it doing this? Why can't I reimport them?
I went through the rebuild process, but I can't seem to clear iPhoto's memory of these photo's so I can reimport them cleanly.
Also - how do I see ythe files in the iPhoto trash?

mklein:
Check that folder with the image files and make sure they are full sized copies of those on the CD and not alias files themselves. There was a time I got alias files when I though I copied full sized files. Don't remember what process I had used but had to go back, open the CD, do a select all and do an Option-drag to make sure I was copying the files. May have been a one time glitch, I don't know.

Logic Can't Find Audio Files After a Time Machine Restore

My hard drive crashed so I was forced to restore by using Time Machine. Now when I open some of my old projects they cannot find certain Audio FIles. These Audio Files seem to be files not ordinarily found in the Audio Files Folder inside the project folder, these files have the same names as the "Undo Data" Folders. These files are not physically there when I search the older backups in Time Machine. Im assuming that these are Virtual files created by Logic within the Undo Data. How do I get them to become recognized again???
Please Help!

"audiofile.caf" means an audio file (surprise!) in Core Audio Format. IOW, a generic term for anything you might like to deal with in Logic. The implication is that it thinks you want to do something with a file (it understands you are attempting a drag-&-drop operation), but it doesn't know anything about the file — not even its name.
There are other ways to get audio files into your arrangement, so you should try those ( e.g.: +Audio > Import Audio File+ ). Drag-&-drop is just one method; the others are equally good, & if they work, we can take it from there. Meanwhile — you are sure you are dragging the actual file, & not an alias? Or some other 'not-the-actual-file' type thing?

HELP - iMac can't find system file for start-up

Hi,
My Rev. B iMac (running OS 9.2) suddenly can't find the system file. I was working in MS Word for Mac when the system crashed. Upon start-up the computer couldn't find the system and showed a flashing question mark in an old floppy disk icon.
I started from my original OS 8.5 Install disk and ran disk utilities. That fixed a problem that was detected.
BUT the flashing disk continued at start-up.
I tried to "re-bless" the system folder as described in the Apple iMac trouble shooting guide, but no luck.
All my data is still on the hard drive, I just can't get the machine to start from the hard drive -- it will only start from the Install CD.
Any ideas on how I can get it to start up?
I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi, Michael -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
Installing OS 8.5 is not needed, since there is no update available to take any version of OS 8 to any version of OS 9. An OS 9 install must start with a full-install CD; for your model, that means any retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9).
What version of OS 9 was on the hard drive - OS 9.2.1, or OS 9.2.2?
What version OS 9 Install CD do you have available?

For some reason itunes can't find original file for music. If I have purchased from Itunes do I have to re-purchase?

I keep losing music from my library because "itunes cannot locate original file". Why does my computer lose this? If I have purchased in itunes, can I copy again for free? how? Thanks.

If you are losing music which can mean the database in iTunes is not stable. Maybe you should do under File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files.
Thanks and I did find the link, it now states that they have been downloaded but how do I copy thise files into my itunes or how does my itunes find those files? Again thank you for your help
Downloaded means you already have it in iTunes. If you've deleted them then you will see a cloud symbol. Click the cloud symbol and it will download into iTunes. (iCloud is your backup for all your purchased items)

Can't locate audio file for iDVD 6 Travel Theme

I have looked under Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes I find only folders for iDVD3, iDVD 4 and iDVD 5. No iDVD 6 there at all! I know I have iDVD 6 installed since I loaded iLife06 last week myself and can both see and hear the Travel Theme graphic and audio theme. Where can it be?
Once I find it, how do I get it into iTunes?
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes! Tonight is the first time I've opened iDVD and that theme started playing. What a marvellous theme it is; it inspires me, sort of sets the level for what I should be shooting for in my scores. I love this kind of music.
And It Should Be Credited to the Appropriate Artist, Apple folks!
There is no mention anywhere of who wrote it (or any of the other audio tracks on any of the sample Themes). The clip seems to be called TravelCards, on which a google search produced information on the composer Simon Fisher Turner (aka SFT), with a CD called Travelcard, but I'll be damned if I can find a downloadable clip to listen to! Some of his stuff is in iTunes, but not this album. From the sound of his other work, however, it could be him. It also bears a bit of resemblance to the work of another British artist, Karl Jenkins (the "Diamond Music" composer, also a founding member of Soft Machine, one of the seminal bands from the 70's).
Whoever it is, I have listened to the sampled phrase over and over and over as it loops in my iDVD window beneath this one... and I haven't gotten tired of it yet! Please if anyone has any idea at all who wrote this, I'd love to know and hear more. Thanks!

Can't find .udc files for Indesing CS4

I've tried to change the spelling/dictionary settings but I can't find the .udc files on my system? Can it be downloaded from somewhere?

The dictionary settings in the preferences have nothing to do with the default language. The let you choose which vendor, if there is more than one, to use for the dictionary.
To set the default language use the language drop-down in the character panel. Do this with no docs open and it will be the default for all new work. In existing documents change it with nothing selected to make it the new document default, and select all the text and change it onece more to assign the language to what you've already set.

Windows 8.1 Preview cannot be uninstalled. However, if what you want is to remove Windows completely, start up in OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to remove the Windows partition.
If what you want is to install the final Windows 8.1 version, read this Microsoft support article > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-preview
