GB, iWeb keep searching for FCP files in their Media Browsers

I recently (as in yesterday) upgraded to iLife '06. I did this primarily to produce a podcast which would be hosted by my .mac site- using iWeb to create it. I repaired permissions, ran MacJanitor, upgraded, restarted, repaired permissions, ran MacJanitor and openened GarageBand. All was fine. I made a new podcast file, connected my microphone, ready to do a test podcast, when the following suddenly popped up:
Hitting "Stop" didn't do anything.
I waited patiently when eventually this came up:
The options were to search or cancel, but I chose cancel, because I don't need any of my videos (or at least not yet) in GarageBand. The file it is looking for above is a FCP file. It's one of FCP "Render Files" and obviously cannot be read by GarageBand. Unfortunately, after I hit cancel, I get about 7 secs of freedom before a similar message looking for the next of the render files (there are hundreds of them) pops up and then it continues on and on and on...
I don't want GarageBand to process these files, I want it to stop looking! Unfortunately, this same problem occurs with iWeb. So, the two apps I bought iLife for, I can't use. Any guidance in this area would be most appreciated.

Hi, Hangtime
I've just tested the rename approach (simply added an "a" after "Movies" in the folder name)
Garage Band and iWeb no longer scan the folder for "media browser" content after doing so.
It depends a bit on JC's "workflow" which way would be more appropriate. I guess simply moving the problematic FCP files to another would resolve the problem for him as far as Garage Band and iWeb go, on a permanent basis. But he may need the FCP files in the "Movies" folder for other reasons, in which case simply renaming when using Gargeband or iWeb may be quicker. It would be nice to find a more elegant answer though. I wonder if it could be a "mediabrowser" plist issue?
Cheers

Iphoto 6.0.5 - keeps searching for .mov file that has been deleted

OK, this is my problem...
I am running the most recent version of iphoto. i keep all of my photos in the iphoto library, which i run off of an external drive. recently, my drive filled up so i got a new 120gb firelite drive and transferred my photos AND the iphoto library to the new drive. then i started iphoto and was given the choice to create a new library or locate the library. i chose 'locate' and pointed it in the right direction. iphoto opened, and all my photos everything appeared to be ok in the program. this is when my problems began...
problem 1: if i try to do anything with any of the photos, i am told that the file cannot be located. i tried to re-import the library but the program began complaining about not being able to locate several movie files (that are in the library and on the external drive). then iphoto stopped responding.
problem 2: i then did a force quit, and now EVERY time i try to do ANYTHING (with other programs) while iphoto is open, it begins to look for the same movie file each time. then iphoto stops responding. i've since deleted the movie from my drive and from the iphoto library, but iphoto keeps looking for it each time.
please help!!!! my sanity rests on your ability to help me out....

1. Try rebuilding the Library: Restart the iPhoto while holding down the Apple and Option keys. The resulting dialogue will give you the options.
2. Apart from moving the Libary, have you changed anything within the iPhoto Library Folder?

FCP searching for a file issue?

Okay, every time I open any project with FCP 6.0.2 it keeps looking for a file from a completely different project that I haven't opened or used for 8 months (this file has NO relation to the current project). What happens is a little dialog saying searching for the file, with a "Stop" button, then if you hit stop or it of course does not find the file, the dialog comes up asking to search or cancel. Well I hit cancel, then the project continues to open, then it comes up a bunch more times and I just keep hitting cancel until the project is completely open and I can then edit it. Any ideas short of a full FCP removal and reinstall to get rid of that? I've tried deleting caches, preferences, etc to no avail.

The message you are seeing is not from Final Cut; it is from QuickTime. Final Cut is asking QuickTime to validate the disk file for one of the project clips, and the clip appears damaged.
Note the name of the file that QuickTime (inside Final Cut) is complaining about. If you reimport that file, the problem will go away (most of the time).
If this is happening for 15 or 20 files, it's a major pain the neck, I know. I have never heard an explanation of what causes this. (Is it Final Cut munging the files? Is it QuickTime?)

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Organizer. not able to turn off "automatic search for missing files"

Organizer starts searching for missing files. files that i have deleted, and the programme just keep on forever searching for those already deleted files. When i try to turn off that function, the organizer just stops. Running the program on Imac 2010.

That's the thing with the Elements Organizer - once you start managing your media in it you must also use it for all subsequent maintenance so that it retains integrity.
To try and resolve the Find> all Missing Files crash problem go to File> Manage Catalogs and Repair your current catalog. Follow that with an Optimize. See if you can now find them without the crash.
If Find> All Missing Files is still causing a crash, you could try File> Reconnect> All Missing Files. As that searches your entire hard disk for one image at a time, and will take a very long time if you did a lot of deletions with your EasyDuplicateFinder program, wait for it to finish examining your catalog then cancel the attempt to find each image. Now in your organizer each of the missing files thumbnails will have a question mark at top left - you can then delete these from the catalog. After you've done quite a few retry Find> All Missing Files again to see if it will run without crashing.

Neale

Searching for missing files and damaged photo icon

I am trying to view photos that I have viewed in this program numerous times before but now when I click on the photos, I get a message that says "searching for missing files". Sometimes, the photo appears with a red icon below it that resembles a wripped photo. Does this mean my photo has been damaged by the program?

I too have been told to find them on my hard drive but still nothing comes up, I can find the picture name and then do a search, but nothing. I've tried several times and it just keeps saying seach for missing files not found. I can see my collection of pictures, but there blury and then when I try to click on them, it says searching for missing file and it gives me the file name, and then I've tried to go under my search and put that file name in and nothing comes up, I also got NO help from adobe and they want us to buy more products??? They could have warned us somehow on what happens if you move them or try and put them on disc, and that's what happen, I put some on disk or at least thought I did and then realized I didn't want to do that, so I hit the UNDUE and I guess it was so late or something, cuz I can see the pictues, just can't open them. I'm wandering if I need to have a expert see if he can get them off of Adobe, I really want the pictues I have graduation pictures on there and need them very much. Would love to have help from anybody. Please.
Thank you

Dirk,
There is no port specified in your file, so the default is 389.

PSE5 "searching for missing file"

Whenever I click on a thumbnail picture it gives me the message "Searching for missing file". Some of the pictures I was able to view only hours ago and now they are apperently missing. I have not done anything differently with these pictures. When I click on browse to search for the missing file, it is unable to locate the picture. I am afraid I have just lost hundreds of pictures!

PSE keeps only the hard disk references (location) of the files imported. So, whenever any operation like file renaming, moving to some other location, editing etc happen to a file outside PSE, the file go missing in PSE. On double clicking a file, PSE tries to connect its thumbnail to the original file on hard disk and when it does not find the file, it shows "Reconenct" dialog.
To reconnect the file, you've 2 options - Auto Reconnect & Manual Reconenct
For Auto reconenct just double click the file and allow the dialog to search for file on your hard disk. This can be at times time consuming process.
You can also connect your files manually:
1) Type "Ctrl + K" on app. A preference dialog will open
2) Choose "Files" from left side and uncheck second preference to "Automatically search for and reconnect missing files".
3) Click "Ok" to save the settings
4) Double click a missing file to open manual reconnect dialog.
OR
4') To reconnect all missing files in one go --> Goto File menu --> Reconnect --> All missing files. An engine will search all the files that are missing from the catalog and a manual reconnect dialog will be shown..
5) Now, you can connect each file seperately by manually searching the hard disk.

Where was the file? Was it in one of the iMovie folders or in another folder on your hard drive? From Finder, can you open the file in QuickTime? If so, open the QuickTime Inspector (Window>Show Movie Inspector). What is shown against Format in the Inspector panel?
You mentioned earlier that you had deleted iMovie's Cache folder (at least I think that is what you meant). I'm not sure how many Events you have, but in Finder try selecting each Event in turn then delete both the iMovie Movie Cache folder and the iMovie Thumbnails folder. When opened, iMovie will regenerate these folders and all the thumbnails. Delete these folders from one Event at a time and try starting iMovie after each deletion. Hopefully, the problem can be narrowed down to one Event.
Leave all the video clips in the Events folders at this stage. I suspect that it's one of the thumbnails in a single Event causing the problem.

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. Any suggestions?

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility. Any suggestions?

Is the computer in you equipment line:
Dual Core Intel Xenon
(which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
Mac Pro
and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do? Read more: My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?

Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
Thanks

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

How to search for a file and copy it to somewhere else in terminal

So basically how can I search for a file on my computer named "testingtesting.txt" and copy it to my desktop using terminal? I have very little experience in terminal, so I was going to try and use the mdfind command, then store that output as a variable, and use that variable as the source for the cp command, but I feel like there is probably a much simpler method. So basically how could I find a file named "testingtesting.txt", copy it, and paste it to my desktop using terminal.

Is there any particular reason that you must use Terminal?
You could just download the free EasyFind from the App Store and find the file quickly. Do whatever you wish with it.
Good luck,
Clinton

When I execute:

it asks me for a .rpt file.
Why is that? I am not running a report.
Thanks

As other have said, you have set Results to File.
But since you posted your code, I had a look at it. I was not able to understand why you use dynamic SQL. For instance, this:
   SET @strCache = 'SELECT top ' + @topn + 'PERCENT g.Supplier_Id Supplier_Id
INTO #T_CacheTopN
FROM T_CacheSupp g
WHERE g.Cache_Id = ' + @cache_Id + ' ORDER BY g.Position'
Can be written as
SELECT top (@topn) PERCENT g.Supplier_Id Supplier_Id
INTO #T_CacheTopN
FROM T_CacheSupp g
WHERE g.Cache_Id = @cache_Id
ORDER BY g.Position
If you can avoid dynamic SQL, your code becomes easier to maintain, and less vulnerable for nasty surprises.
And if you use dynamic SQL, you should use sp_executesql and pass parameter values as parameters instead of inlining them.
