HT1751 i could not get the file to drag over using windows 7  what am i doing wrong?

I am trying to back up itunes on an external hard drive.  When I get to the advanced tab (in edit_preferences) I see the file but I am unable to drag it to the external drive.  what am i doing wrong?

You cannot drag anything from the Advanced tab.
Go to the location indicated in the Advance tab, that folder is what needs to be moved.

  • I am having trouble saving a document. I go to file, save, name the document and when i enter i receive a message "the file "untitled" couldn't be opened. What am I doing wrong?

    Is this the only way to save a document in pages 5?

    thanks for your suggestion.  that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
    i did what he instructed but it did not work.  i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem.  they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
    when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
    i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
    thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

  • "Could not get the audio data from the file" error

    Hi
    I get a lot of "Could not get the audio data from the file" errors when opening a project. Sometimes they crash Premiere Pro CC 7.01 (Mac). But if not Premiere works as usual, with the audio.
    I tried to convert the audio files (coming from Audition) from 32 to 16 bit. It worked while opening a project once, but not the following times.
    Where can it come from ?
    Edit: I also get this error when importing audio: "Error: Premiere Pro version 7.0 is not compatible with the Premiere Pro Plug-in version 5.7.4". Maybe it is connected.

    Got it! It was the Smartsound plugin making trouble. Got rid of it and no more errors.

    All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

    Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
    You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
    A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
    Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
    As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi !
    If you've got the latest version of flash, the message should
    says
    something like "could not find the file flash8b.ocx" instead
    of
    "flash.ocx" (who is, it seems, flash 7.0).
    I suspect, once again, that registry rights are broken.

  • "could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand the file."

    "could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand the file."
    I keep getting this error when trying to open some of my illustrator files. Usually after trying 5 or 6 time it will mysteriously open without a problem. I've reinstalled Illustrator and that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 and that didn't work.
    Why does it sometimes open and sometimes not???
    I've lost I don't know how many hours screwing around with this and REALLY pissing me off!!!
    AURGH!

    I think this has something to do with the PNG plugin.

  • Could not copy the file "C:\Microsoft.WITDataStore.dll" because it was not found.

    Hi All,
    I need to use "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Common, Version=11.0.0.0" dll in my code.
    But when I try to build my application I get the below error.
    "Could not copy the file "C:\Microsoft.WITDataStore.dll" because it was not found."
    And when I try to include version 12 of the same dll , code gets build successfully. And when I try to consume the code(which uses the dll) I get
    'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.DataStoreLoader,
    Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
    The system cannot find the file specified."
    how do I go ahead with this..??
    Thanks
    Uma.K

    Hi Uma,
    You might check whether the version 11 of the assembly is referenced or added into soruce control. When use the referenced files, please use the relative path for building. If the version 11 of the assembly is not added, please add it to source control and
    make sure it's referenced correctly.
    It would be better to let us know the TFS version that you're using. And you can also use version 12 if the assembly works fine. If you have any other concerns, elaborate your scenario with more details.

    I'm getting this error on my 10.3 clients.

    This solved my issue.

  • Error: Could not find the file "flash.ocx"

    I have been receiving the error COULD NOT FIND THE FILE
    "FLASH.OCX" for the past couple of months - I have been watching
    the message boards and have seen a lot of "fixes" and beta's come
    up errors (not sure that it's this exact error though).
    I get this error continuously throughout the day - no matter
    if I have nothing running on my computer or I have 10 things open.
    This morning it occurred to me that my screen saver is not coming
    on and it seems to me that the above errror is popping up everytime
    my screen saver should start. I HAVE TIMED THIS TODAY AND CHANGED
    HOW LONG BEFORE MY SCREEN SAVER STARTS - AND IT IS DEFINITELY
    GETTING THE ERROR EVERYTIME THE SCREEN SAVER IS TRYING TO START.
    Last week, I deleted the version of Flash that I had and then
    re-installed; still getting the error.
    I was getting the error when I had IE6 so I thought maybe
    switching to IE7 would correct it - but it didn't (that was a few
    weeks ago).
    My computer does not freeze up but it is SOOO annoying to
    continually throughout the day get this error.
    IE7.0
    ADOBE 9,0,28,0
    WINDOWS XP - SP2
    PLEASE HELP!

    Ah-ah! The workaround is to map my network folder to a drive, say... M:\
    So, when I select Edit->Edit in Audition->Sequence, I can select the Browse button to alter the Path destination. Instead of seeing '\\Zeus\Projects\...', I select the mapped M: drive so the path reads 'M:\Projects\...' instead.
    Then, Audition loads and is able to find the sequence or clip.
    So... that solves my problem!

  • After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

    I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
    When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
    "After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
    I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
    I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
    I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

    2. Tried deleted bak file. Didn't work. Captivate 5 keeps recreating the file.
    Other facts:
    Other people have been able to download the trial version and open the file.
    I have Captivate 4 on my machine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I'm experiencing about the same problem:
    I made a software demo using Macromedia Captivate on computer 1 en sent it by e-mail to computer 2.
    On computer 2 I installed a Captivate 5.5 trial and I want to open the file in 5.5.
    The file is not locked as far as I know (I right-clicked the file > properties > unlock)
    I do have sufficiënt available space and resources. The file contains 135 slides but is not too large as I tried to do the same thing with a 50-slide file > same error message.
    I tried creating a new blank project > I copied the slides into the blank project, saved again on a local drive, sent it to computer 2 again, but same error message.
    Please help, I'm getting desperate.

  • "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"

    "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"
    I have 60gb available on my MBA and I have "read and write" privileges for the download folder. This error seemingly came out of nowhere. It doesn't matter if the file is 1gb or 10mb, I'll get the error. All I have to do is remove the .download extension and I can use the file which is complete despite the error.
    This is really annoying so any help would be appreciated.

    I never used to have a problem with creating a new folder and moving the download into it
    But you'll have a problem if you do it now.
