Help with transferring files that can't be read

Recently lightroom or my computer has been acting up. My files can't be read through my camera from a CF card to an external drive of mine. Has anyone else had this problem?

Maybe you could give us more details, like the exact error message you are getting, and exactly what you are doing and what happens. What type of files (JPG, RAW, other) and what camera? What operating system?
It could be any one a gazillion things (well, it could be any one of a dozen things) including hardware, permissions, wrong version of LR for your camera, etc.

Putting aside copyright issues in (naive?) belief you have a legitimate use of the material, your problem lies in the file or disk. One of them is either corrupt or not compatible with the drive you are trying to read it on. Try it on another computer (even a PC) and if you can read it on that computer make a new copy of the file on a new disk or a firewire drive (or USB stick if it fits).

How to save alphanumeric text to file that can't be read in Notepad.

I currently have an application that includes a higher level of access to special users. In order to prevent the login from being "hacked", the password is hard-coded in the executable. I'd like to make this dynamic so that my users can change the password at will, but don't want anyone to be able to just open the password file in Notepad or equivalent. Is there a way to convert and save the alphanumeric text in such a format that a simple text reader could not decipher it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should store the MD5 has of the password.
In the code you let the user enter the password, calculate the hash and see if they match.
LabVIEW has build in VIs to get the hash of a string.
It is quite hard to decode a password with unkknown length from it's hash.
Additional I would still hard-code a core password only known by you that you can type in yourself. After which you can generate a new password file.

Help with transferring files from mac to (not my own) HDD; meaning format then copy is impossible

I need to transfer files and folders from my macbook air to my boss's external HDD but I keep getting error messages. Anyone out there, please help me. Most of the answers here kept saying erase data then copy; not possible for me because this HDD isn't mine. Thanks.

What is the format of that external HDD? If it is formatted NTFS, you can read but not write to it. You would have to install a third party application such as Paragon or Tuxera.

Help With Transferring Files into iTunes Music Folder

Last year, my computer crashed and I had no backup. I used a program called Sharepod to import all my music from my iPod onto my new computer. Now, all that tranferred music resides in C:\Program Files\Sharepod.
The songs play just fine out of iTunes, but because I'm a little OCD I'd really like them to be in the iTunes Music folder where they belong. But I've found that when I drag the songs from the Sharepod folder to the iTunes Music folder, I then have to help iTunes "locate" each song one by one. It's very tedious.
Is there a better way to do this?
Many thanks!

Yes. Once songs are in your iTunes library, do not move or rename them in Windows. If you want to get them all in one place, use the iTunes Consolidate command.

HELP WITH TRANSFERING FILES BY JAVA

Hi everybody!
I'm making a chat with java (Sever and Client) using socket.
I'd like to know how could I transfer files in binary from this chat.
Could anyone help me??
Thanks in advance!

There's nothing wrong at all about asking questions, or being new to Java. I certainly have a whole world of stuff to learn myself.
Nevertheless, the project you propose is not something a "new user" is typically going to be able to tackle fresh out of the gate. Spend some time with the tutorials, try some stuff out, and when your code breaks, bring it here for review.
Admittedly, I won't be able to help you much with Sockets... :o)

Need help with transferring files

I am trying to transfer files from my computer (Windows XP) to my S3 with the USB cable. The S3 is showing up as a camera. I have tried both MTP and PTP but it is showing as a camera in both cases. As MTP I do not see any folders, but I do as PTP. I have tried to copy an MP3 file into the music folder but nothing happens. Any suggestions? I am sure I must be doing something wrong. Thanks

I just tried copying mp3's using both MTP and PTP (on my Windows 7 PC) and both worked. It may be your XP system that is causing the problem or the cable that you are using.

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
Good Luck.

Is it possible to embed a file that can be opened with another app in IBA?

We're making a music instructional book and would like to "embed" a .tef file that can be opened by the free tefPad reader:

I don't think it is possible, but wanted to see if there is some trick we haven't found.
Thanks much for any insights.
