How To Unravel files in project area not found

I create 9 Premiere projects, each under a root directory (proj/p1;proj/p2;proj/p3;etc.).
As I was working on my videos I was capturing screen shots of the video and using them on different layers. that is, I would be in proj/p2 and I woud capture screen shots to proj/p2/assets. The problem is that sometimes I would forget to change the capture directory and I would be in proj/p3 and I'd capture the image to proj/p2. I did that a lot.
So, I changed to a different computer that had a different real path to proj and now, all the images I did the "cross capture" incorrectly don't show up. When I try to do a "reattach" the file that is showing not found, it does not actually attach it. I have to re-add it to my project and surgically replace the new file on the time line (very painful and slow).
Any suggestions on how to do this faster? (or am I not being clear)
thanks

Nope.
The moral of the story...don't move things around.

Everytime when I quit FCP X, I could not find the file that was created previously. I'm aware files (events/projects) are saved automatically. But strangely when I reopen FCP, the event/projects are not listed.

I need help here. Saved events/projects are not visible or listed when I reopen FCP X. Tried to open from the event folder don't seem to work.
I'm using MacOS X 10.6.8 and just bought FCP X 10.1.
Help.

No. I'm not using two hard drives. Files saved on MacBook Pro HDD. Only time I use the second HD is for backup but while working on FCP X.
This is unclear.
Do you have another HD with FCP X projects and / or events?
If you do (whether it's a backup or not) it will cause the exact problem you described. Make sure any other drives with FCP X events or projects are turned off before you launch FCP X.
If you don't have a second drive with events or projects, I suggest you try trashing your preferences.
Faults like this can sometimes be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.

How come you marked your own post as "Correct Answer" when all it does is tell Bob he's wrong? This will mislead people.

Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable. The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall. But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again. HELP!!!!

I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
But it is not there.
So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
But I do not know where it is to move it!
How can I find it?
While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

EMERGENCY: List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database

Hi,
this is an emergency request....
I have this data guard set up. And i accidently dropped online redo logs, standby logs and the archive log except the current online redolog.
i actually ran to cleanup the whole directory which included the controlfile and the datafiles (was on the wrong location on ASM)
but the controlfile and the datafiles did not get deleted. i can still see them on the ASM.
and now when i am trying to restore the archive logs, but i keep getting error as shown below...
WARNING: A file of type ARCHIVED LOG may exist in
db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.
Use the RMAN command CATALOG RECOVERY AREA to re-catalog
any such files. This is most likely the result of a crash
during file creation.
so when i did the below i was getting error as:
RMAN> CATALOG RECOVERY AREA;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
searching for all files in the recovery area
no files found to be unknown to the database
List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database
==========================================================

File Name: +DATA/afcpdg/onlinelog/group_1.304.718194815
RMAN-07527: Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter
number of files not managed by recovery area is 82, totaling 168.10GB
But i do see those data files that RMAN is complaining as shown above in the ASM.
I HOPE I DID NOT MESS UP THE CONTROLFILE and the DATFILES
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS MISTAKE THAT I DID.
Right now the data guard is running fine, the logs are getting shipped from primary and the getting applied at the DG.
And i am able to see all the redo logs got deleted.
But not sure how the deleted redo logs got created in the ASM (i did not create them manually)
Thanks.
Philip.

Yes this happened on the standby database.
I had to restore the archive logs because i deleted all the archive logs which got shipped from the primary.
I did re-create the standby logs. But when i checked back the redo logs that i deleted came back again.
I have no idea how they can back again. is it a feature of ASM where a mirrored copy of the files are stored on ASM and they re-create them when accidently dropped.
Can you help me understand how the redologs got created again automatically.
Right now the data guard is running fine but i do see the error

db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.

Help!!! the app Iphoto is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

I was editing my photos and adding them to a album and suddenly the app is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I purchased lots of music yesterday from itunes and now i can't export to ipod because files are not found

I just purchased lots of music yesterday from itunes and amazon but now can't load onto ipod because files are not found.

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

So you can ping and nslookup from your ms to these agents and vice versa right? I wouldn't do a manual install, I would push the agent from the management server. You can uninstall the agent manually, or use cleanmom to get rid of them. Then
do an install from the console. When you initiate the install from the console (management server), should it run into any issues it will dump out an error which will give you an idea of where the problem may be.

1. Ensure agent push account has local admin rights
2. Firewall is blocking NetBIOS access. If Windows 2008 firewall is enabled, ensure “Remote Administration (RPC)” rule is enabled/allowed. We need port 135 (RPC) and the DCOM port range opened for console push through a firewall.
3. Inspect WMI service, health, and rebuild repository if necessary

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

How can I display images that are not included in any collection?

How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.

Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y"
