I am begging for help. Corrupt File?

I am about ready to throw my video iPod away. Just kidding. It's only 3 months old!
All my music/videos/TV shows disappeared. In addition, when I hooked it up to reload, I get this message:
(Exclamation Point) iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPrefs is corrupt & unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
First, I don't know what this means and secondly I got this msg also:
Windows delayed write failed.
Unable to save all data for File F. Data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save file elsewhere.
Huh?
And last but not least, I did go into my computer and put the music library on my desktop as instructed in the troubleshooting menu. Then when I reloaded iTunes and tried to import the library, it said it was changed and deleted it. Now I have nothing in iTunes either.
I am near tears and any help is greatly apprecicated.

I'm begging for help here.

Today I made an awful mistake taking some very important photos and videos off of my iphone and placing them into a destop folder on my PC. The photos came off very easily by opening the the folder that was containing them and simply dragging and dropping them into a folder on my desktop. I decided to put some of the photos and videos that were taken with the phone back in the folder and it refuses to work. I want the photos back on my phone but it will not accept it. The photos and videos are not recognised by iTunes. Opening the folder, and minimizing iTunes to attempt to drag the files from the folder to my iPhone in iTunes will not work and I get an error saying "IMG_1191.MOV was not copied to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone 5" because it cannot be played on this phone."
Please, I'm begging for help here. I just want my photos and videos back on my iPhone.
My PC is running Windows7 and my iPhone is the latest software.

You put photos onto your iPhone by syncing with iTunes.
On your computer create a master folder for photos. Inside that folder create subfolders. Each subfolder will become a photo album on your iPhone after you sync. Do not create any additional layers of subfolders inside the first level of subfolder.
Once you have the photo folders organized start iTunes on your computer and make sure you have iTunes 10.7 or later. iTunes 11.0.1 is the latest version. If you are running iTunes 11 start iTunes and use the View menu to View Sidebar.
Then connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on your computer select your iPhone in the left sidebar. Then select photos in the larger right window. Under Photos navigate to your photo folder. You can select to sync all photos or select just the photo albums you want on the iPhone. Then click on Apply or Sync.
To remove these albums later do another sync but deselect the o longer wanted albums.

Logic Pro Corrupt Files? Begging for Help!

Hello all,
I am having a real problem here. Every new file I create in logic pro eventually turns corrupt, including the backup projects automatically generated in the project folder. When I go to open the project file I've been working on, a prompt pops up either saying that the file is unreadable, damaged, unrecognized or even sometimes it says my audio files are in an unreadable 8 bit format () So it seems to be corrupting the audio files as well... Some serious problem is going on. I am running all latest versions of all my software and hardware. Leopard 10.5.5, Logic 8.02 and my MOTU Interface has the latest firmware.
I have tried dumping my preferences in the library, and I even did a full reinstall of Logic, and the problem continues. Is it a hardrive issue? I have verified and repaired disk permissions several times with no problems. I tried to call phone support and was surprised to be treated indifferently and would not be helped unless I consented to an expensive user agreement. I thought my $3,000 computer and $500 software purchase would be adequate enough. I guess not.
Sorry for the rant, this has been most troubling seeing as I have lost a project due to this crazy glitch. So I turn to you, online community! Am I alone is this problem? From online investigation it seems no one has had much of a problem with this. Does anyone have advice for me? Anything will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!
BTW, DP projects and Garageband projects seem unaffected, which makes me wonder if it's a Logic Pro issue after all. Oh and I'm running the same Logic Pro software on an older Powerbook G4 w/ Tiger and everything runs fine.

As far as other hardware, it's only the ultralite and a oxygen 61 keyboard
Yes these corrupt files work ok on G4 unless the audio has already been corrupted by my macbook pro
*I will definitely try out all of your suggestions* and see where it leads me. I'm glad other people are experiencing this problem. Well, not glad, but you know what I mean... Just thought I was going crazy.
Elith- does your exported audio come back as garbled audio sometimes? Mine either make a TERRIBLE hiss, garbled, or are not readable at all. Really sad stuff....
Are you connected to the internet via wireless or ethernet cable?
If so disable and see if it makes a difference.

Ask for help about file operation

Hi,
I have a text file A and it contains some sentences. As this file contains some white space or other useless characters, I also have a corresponding file B which record the exact position of the sentences.
For example in File A:
It's a nice day. I like it very much. Go home right now!
In File B: (begin position, end position for each sentence)
0, 15
20, 39
47, 64
As I don't use the stream operation often, so have no idea how to extract the sentences by the position index.
Thank you in advance.

There are methods in the String, StringBuilder, and StringBuffer classes that can do what you need. This tutorial shows you how to use them:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/manipstrings.html
The StreamTokenizer and StringTokenizer classes may also be useful. Most of their functionality is included in the previously listed classes.

Hi, My bb recently crashed and I had reinstall all the software. After I reinstalled the new messenger I tried to restore my contacts and it keeps stating that I have to register my bb messenger with the bb messenger service. When I do that I keep getting this message "blackberry messenger failed to register with the blackberry messenger service. Registration is necessary to use the features of this application. Please ensure your device time is correctly set, open the my profile screen and check the blackberry messenger registration status". My operator, bb vendor, and local technical support have no idea how to solve this!!! Bb messenger works fine but I need to register to restore my contacts! Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps:
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your formal support again -- your carrier. They have the ability to escalate into RIM if needed.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Begging for help with podcast xml file

Hey All,
I have a podcast on iTunes. I am hosting the xml file and podcast mp3s on a friends server so Im not using any service. Everything is working and Ive sucessfully added 4 podcasts so far, and it shows up correctly in iTunes on my PC.
However my podcasts do not showup correct in the iTunes store website, or on idevices. Meaning, I number my shows 001_"NAME" 002_"NAME" etc. Yet in the iTunes store they show up out of order. So my last show is not at the top its at the bottom, and they are all mixed up (like 002, 001, 004, 003 instead of 4,3,2,1) Also the publish date is the same on two of them (and not what i have in the xml file) and doesnt show up at all on the other two. I assume this is a problem with the xml file, yet I dont see any problems with it. But it seems odd that it all works correctly in the actual iTunes program. Ive tried different code, but im very much a noob at it, and everything i find online is from 5 - 10 years ago or wants you to host your podcasts with their site and I dont need that.
Here is the link to the show on the iTunes website so you can see what i mean: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-reality-recap/id501295325
If anybody can, would you mind checking out the code in my xml file and letting me know if you see anything thats causing this issue?
I zipped the xml file and put it here: http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YRR.zip
I would be truly greatfuly for any help with this. Ive been trying to fix this for days and dont know what else to do.
Thanks!
Eric

Your feed is at http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YourRealityRecap.xml (please always post the feed URL, not its contents or a copy).
I don't see the issues you mention. The order in the Store and when subscribing is what I would expect:
The order in the Store depends on clicking the header to the column: the default is the first one. Some of the dates are a day out - this is quite commmon and is probably a time zone issue (it may be different where you are - I'm in the UK). I don't know why you are seeing a garbled order unless you've clicked on one of the other columns in the Store.

Exporting to .mov for Youtube = corrupted file. Please help!

Hi guys. Here's my problem. I created a piece of stop motion animation using iStopmotion. The clip is just over a minute long. I imported it to iMovie so that I could add some sound and some fancy titles/credits. At this point, everything appears to be working fine.
I then export my finished movie as a Quicktime file so that I can post it on Youtube. If I play back the Quicktime file on my computer, it works perfectly. However, as soon as it's uploaded to Youtube, playback stops at a certain point even though the red time bar continues to the full length of the film. You can drag the little time slider past the point at which the film stops prematurely, but it shows nothing but black and snaps back to the premature cut-off point. I've tried exporting the movie as an mpeg4 file instead and the same thing happens.
I've even tried going back to the source iStopmotion file, editing it by altering the order of the frames near this problem point - yet when I upload to Youtube it stops playing at exactly the same point. I've tried altering every step of this movie's creating several times but it always freezes at roughly the same point when I'm viewing it on Youtube. I have also tried clearing my browser's cache, no success there either.
My friend suggested that the file had been corrupted somehow. Please can anyone shed some light on this, as I've spent hours trying to get it to work and am not starting to lose my sanity!

I've just solved my own problem. It's not an issue with iMovie as such, but I will post my solution here anyway in case anybody else experiences the same problem (and frustration) that I did.
My iMovie project featured a brief 2-second soundclip as the only soundtrack on the whole film. As soon as this audio clip finished, Youtube stopped playing the movie. I assume this is because Youtube assumed the clip had finished because the sound level had reduced to zero. To fix this, I copied, pasted and muted the audio clip using iMovie so that the rest of the film featured a muted audio track.
This has solved the problem and now Youtube plays my video in its entirety!

Is there a way to search for damaged/corrupt files in itunes?

Hi all,
I have several itunes-purchased files that became damaged when a hard drive of mine went on the fritz a few months ago. I managed to get most of my files transferred to a new hard drive, but I keep running across songs that are corrupt. The way I know they are corrupt is they just won't play, even though the file shows up in my library no problem.
My library is several thousand songs. Is there any way to test for corrupt songs without going song-by-song manually?

Sorry, but I don't know what it is you are trying to accomplish and how a spreadsheet program would be related to an iTunes issue. Can you please explain in more detail what it is you're trying to do? If your command of the English language is a barrier for you, try posting in your native language and someone who is fluent in that language may be able to help.
Regards.

Any hope for a corrupt file?

Came into the office this morning to find my project file won't open in 5.5 (Mac). The only explanation is that the file was corrupted the day before when it wouldn't close properly, which then caused Captivate to freeze requiring a force quit.
I've reinstalled Captivate on another machine but the file doesn't open there either. Weeks of work down the drain unless there's a magic bullet I don't know about...

Captivate 5.5 provides a couple of ways to resurrect failed projects.
Did you happen to have backups turned on in Project Preferences? If not, now you know why you should.
You should have a folder in your Project Cache for this particular project. You may be able to resurrect the project using this.
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/09/recovering-the-project.html
Finally, if by any chance you were previously storing your project files on a LAN or NOT working ONLY from projects on your local hard drive, then this may be the reason for the crash. Something to avoid in future.

PLEASE! I'm begging for help getting back my music!

Yesterday, my fiance burned some cd's for his new iPod into his own iTunes. No problem. At that time, my library was intact.
Today, I go into my library and ALL MY MUSIC IS GONE! When I go to my "music file" in Windows, it tells me my folder is empty. How the heck could that happen?!
Please, anyone. I still have the tunes on my iPod, but I had purchased some in the interim and now they appear to be lost.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! :{ I'm totally frustrated!
THANKS!!!

Look up the Java API on ServerSocket.accept()
It blocks until a client makes a connection with it.
Ie. that call will hang there forever, until a client tries to connect.
A better approach is to create a separate thread, which waits for a client connection. Something like........
Note : Not compiled nor tested... but gives general approach.

I BEG FOR HELP "INSTALLATION ENCOUNTERED ERRORS"????

I'm growing more and more upset with this program and soon to be company.
I love what you do, but I hate how you help.
I have had the same problem for THREE MONTHS, and customer service has yet to help!
I have lost two hundred dollars since I was unable to return my product.
Please, can we get this problem fixed?
Half way through my installation from Adobe Premiere Elements, the CD ejects.
Stating "Your Installation Encountered Errors" with "Exit Code 7" labeled.
What does this mean and how can i get around it?
If its possible to call me and make this process quicker, I beg you to do so.

This is a user-to-user forum and I doubt someone would call you. When you say customer service has yet to help, does that mean you’ve been on the phone for hours and hours with people in India and/or similar time with the same people on a chat session while they talk you through various things, and none of those things have helped? Or have you not gotten through to anyone from customer service and found this forum?
Adobe provides a 30-day trial for most of their products, so if you paid for it without testing it on your computer, that is not Adobe’s fault. Most credit-card companies can handle refunds within 30-days, and if you didn’t do that, it, again, is not Adobe’s fault.
If you provide some details about your system it is possible that someone here might be able to suggesting things to do to figure something out, but it may not be more than what Adobe Support did with you, already, if you have spent a bit of time with them.
One suggestion I would have is to run the Adobe Log Analyzer to see if it finds anything. And if it doesn’t, at least look at the installation logs to see what they say about the install failure.

Logic Express Beginner begging for help

I recently made the step up into the Mac world and love everything about my new mac book pro except I am struggling with Logic Express. I have used Adobe Audition for many years and know it inside and out however...I cant even figure out to record my voice with a microphone.
I work in radio and only need the program to record my voice and to edit interviews (mp3 or wav files) for use on the radio. I tried hooking up my mobile pre usb pre amp up and downloaded drivers but couldn't get it to record. I can record using the built in my mic but the quality is insufficient for the airwaves.
I know this must be something very simple but I am struggling , thank you so much in advance for any help you can give.

Hi,
I'd start with opening a Finder window, and go to Applications > Utilities > Audio/Midi Configuration. If you open this program, you can set your default audio inputs and outputs, and set the input level, for example. If your interface doesn't show up here, you can be pretty sure that Logic won't see it, either.
Then go to Logic, and look in Preferences > Audio >Devices. You should choose your USB preamp as your Device. As you can see, you can only choose 1 device here. BUT, in the Audio/Midi Configuration utility, you can "build" a virtual device consisting of more than one device (see the Audio menu of the utility). Just in case you'd like to use more than 1 interface in the future...
Anyway, check page 99 of Help > Logic Express 8 User Manual.
Kind regards,
Jaap
