How to find all exclamation marks/error photos in library

Hi,
Thanks to the forums, I know how to get rid of the exclamation marks (rebuilding, etc). But first, I want to locate all the dead links. The only way I'll know right now if a thumbnail is dead is if I double click on it and see the exclamation mark. Is there a way to filter them all out? Otherwise, I have over 5,000 pictures, and I definitely don't want to doubleclick through all of them to check.
Basically, I want to identify the error files first before I rebuild the library. Otherwise, I won't know which photos I'm missing in the new library, right?
For example, currently, photo #123 brings up the ugly exclamation mark. I can see #123 thumbnail, so I know which photo it is, but iphoto can't find the original link (I probably deleted it from the root folder a while ago). If I rebuild the library, I'm guessing the new library will know not to include #123, since it can't find the original file. This means if I didn't know #123 was there to begin with, I wouldn't know it was missing from the new library, right? In this case, I know I'm missing #123, and I want to make sure I find it first before rebuilding. So, is there a way to make iphoto just show all the problem files?

No.
If you rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager it will list the files it cannot find.

How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song? Is there a way to delete all instead of one at a time?

How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song? Can they be deleted all at once instead of one song at a time?

Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
Optional: It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Once you have repaired the tracks that can be found you can drag the contents of the Lost playlist into Found which will update things.
Or, you can simply delete all the tracks in the Lost playlist with Ctrl-A to select them and then Shift-Delete to delete.

How to find grey exclamation mark pics?

Hi gang,
I have noticed when going back over some old pics that some have the thumbnail, but when I hit space to view the photo close up, I get a grey exclamation mark. When using Reveal in Finder, the original pic file is present and looks fine.
There are only a few of these that I have found, and they are scattered here and there. Is this a problem that would be fixed by rebuilding the thumbnails? Is there a program that can scan the iPhoto library and flag such photos?
Cheers!

The exclamation mark is an indication that iPhoto has lost/broken the file path to the orignal file. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Happy New Year

How to find all photos that have NO faces, as opposed to UNNAMED faces?

I find that iPhoto often misses faces entirely, especially if the face is wearing sunglasses or a hat or both. Sometimes it is rather inexplicable that it has missed a face, as the face seems obvious.
If you use the smart album method to find all "unnamed" faces, the photos have at least one unnamed face identified. You can then add any missed faces to those photos.
But what about photos in which iPhoto has failed to identify the existence of even one face? Or for that matter, if I want to see only pictures of landscapes or objects that have no people? Does anyone have a method for finding all photos that have no faces in them at all?
For me, the idea is to find all unidentified faces and add them. But as I pointed out above, there may be other uses for this.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks

Awesome !!! Thank you very much. I did not realize you could use JavaScript to code against iTunes ...
I don't know if you have written any of these yourself, but do you know how to maybe create a smart playlist with this information via script? If not, no big deal. At least I know have something which I can use, I will just have to run it every so often.
Thanks again for pointing me to that site!

How to find all JMX ports on a server?

How to find all jmx ports on particular server (say localhost) on windows
I have multiple JVM's running on my local server, and there is extensive use of JXM mbeans by the applications running on each server. So I want to connect to all these JMX servers and to instrument the MBeans using Jconsole(Jconsole localhost:<port>). But I don't know the port numbers, and its not logged by the application.
How do I find all the ports jmx servers connected?
Note : In my case I can not instrument using the PID.
thanks,
bala K

Hi kajbj,
I tried stop/start the application, but couldn't find any difference in the netstat command. I know it should show the JMX port (I am able to see on a test application), but this application's JMX port usage is missing.
netstat -ano --> Do i need to use any other commands?
I just injected few lines of code ( to list the MBeanServers programatically), to this application (did some usual tweaks to let this code execute at some time) and its listing couple of MBeanServers and lot of MBeans.
MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(null); and so on.....
Is there a way to get the port using the Management API's?
thanks,
bala K

How to find all the tables associated for a particular transaction

Hi-
May I know how to find all the tables, related(foreign key) tables for a transaction within SAP GUI?
Up to my technical knowledge, this can be achieved by looking database diagrams from DB level. But that would be for entire database as a whole. What I'm expecting is to see transaction level relative tables that too from SAP GUI. Please share the possibilities if any.

Dear Micky Oestreich
May be we possess expertise or high level experience, it should not show up in our way of communication. Every professional starts with the basic stuff to learn. When the question is raised in such minimum polite way, the same level of courtesy is expected in return. If you felt my question was basic, you might have refused it gently. If you are in good mood or bad mood it doesn't matters.
Hi Vengal Rao
Thanks for your response. It helped me.

How can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album?

Hi
I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 with (Revel). My question ist how can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album? I would like only to have pictures in Library which are included in a online album.

Hi there,
I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. All images are in your Library and only those you specifically select from that Library would be in an Album. What platform are you using? Revel Mac, Elements, web browser, etc?
Here is a link with some helpful information:

How to find all solutions for reordering of vector

hello everyone
-I have problem in finding all possible solutions for reordering of vector.
-I have vector named (vect_temp) and I want to find all possible reordering of this vector.
-I have function named Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point) works as follows : I should gave it an element (next_point) in the vector (vect_temp) and it must generate the vector (vect_diff) that contains all possible elements next elements.
-The function nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) works as follows : I should gave it an element (next_point) in the vector (vect_temp) and it must generate the vector (vect_min) that contains all possible elements next elements.
-reordering critriea:
-Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point) and nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) and (next_point) in this first iteration is equal to any selected element in the (vect_temp). after calling the functions, if element in the (vect_diff) is equal to the element in ( vect_min) then add this element into the ordered set [ vec_ordering] and call functions Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point) and nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) again , next_point now is the equal to the element that we have been added in the previous step into the ordered set [ vec_ordering] and repeat this process until all elements in (vect_temp) are ordered according to this criteria.
- I'm able to do reordering according to the cirtira above and find one solution. but the problem is that if (vect_diff) contains many elements that equal to many elements in ( vect_min), in this case I need to do reordering for the first equal element and this will be one solution and then find reordering for the next equal element and so on.
let's consider this example:
- let (vect_temp) contains element [5,9,7,3,1]
- for the firs iteration let the next_point equal to 7
- after calling function Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point), then (vect_diff) will contain [ 5,9,3]
- after calling function nex_min(vect_temp,next_point), then ( vect_min) will contain [ 5,9]
so for now (vect_diff) and ( vect_min) will have two equal elements.
- the first solution must be that fist take the first equal element and do reordering such that ordered set [ vec_ordering] will equal to [7,5] then call functions Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point), and nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) again. the( next_point) in this iteration is qual to 5, these funtions will find next elements, let's consider that (vect_diff) and ( vect_min) will have equal element [3] then add this element to the ordered set [ vec_ordering] and repeat calling functions util all elments in (vect_temp) are added to the ordered set [ vec_ordering]. This will be one solution. now the second solution will be is to take second equal elment [9] instead of [5] and continue calling functions and finding ordered list.
so that each time vect_diff and vect_min will have many equal elements, then do reordering for first equal element this is one solution and then do reordering for the second equal element and so on.
-my code that can only find one solution that takes only first equal element in (vect_diff) and ( vect_min) and continue ordering is below
for (int y = 0; y < vect_temp.size(); y++) {
     Min_diff(vect_temp);
     nex_min(vect_temp, next_point);
    for (int i = 0; i < vect_diff.size(); i++) {
     String element_min = vect_diff.get(i).toString();
     if (vect_min.contains(element_min)) {
       vec_ordering.add(element_min);
     _2nd_min_element = element_min;
      vec_temp.removeElement(next_point);
      next_point = _2nd_min_element;
      i = vect_diff.size();
     }// end if condition
    } // end for (i)loop
}// end for (y) loop
I hope that someone can answer me how to find all posssible reordering set it is urgent pleasssssse

Deleting all exclamation mark'ed files in itunes

Hi,
I understand that exclamation marked files in iTunes are basically broken links. I have quite a few and I'm much too lazy to fix them or delete them all one by one. Is there a function in iTunes to delete all exclamation marked references in one fell swoop?

Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt (right click and Save As).
Rename it to "RemoveDeadTracks.js".
Run it like you run any other program.
It'll remove all the ! entries from your iTunes library.

How can i move my HDD and not get all exclamation marks?

I am having issues with my mouse and keyboarda nd need to plug them into the motherboard USB ports. But I was told earlier today that my external HD has to be in the one it was in when I synced it up, so if I move it across to a different port, how can i stop it from giving me 17000+ exclamation marks?

You probably don't want to run your external through a hub either. As long as your external drive is assigned the same drive letter iTunes should find the files on it but I noticed your other thread where someone suggested that you should use the same port as earlier. What happens if close iTunes, switch ports, confirm you have the same drive letter then restart iTunes? What other devices do you have that assign drive letters? Windows may assign these in a particular order as your system boots up but you should also be able to take control and assign a specific letter to a specific device.

How to find all audio and photo files?

My system stats say I have 400 megs of photos and 1.95 GB of audio. I have not put anything on this computer yet. It's brand new. I want to erase all the crap I don't need so I have maximum space for shooting photos and videos. I can't find what this audio and photo crap is from. I have searched in finder for any format I can think of and I just can't find them. How can I track down this stuff?
Also does anybody know roughly how much space is typically used on a brand new Mackbook Pro 15" out of the box with all the OS stuff?
Thanks.

There is a program call Grand Perspective that will scan your drive and show where everything is located. You can create filters for the things to scan for and list. It presents a graphical presentation based on file size and location on the drive. Hovering over an item will show the name, size, and where on the hard drive it is located.
Filtering for Images and Audio, I had 1.95 GB in the Library folder. Most was in the Application Support folder.
