I changed drives and consolidated my library, but many files are missing
I recently changed my the hard drive on which my iTunes media were stored. I followed instructions on this page:
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
However, after consolidation I discovered that quite a lot of folders and files are missing from the new created file. The missing songs are still in my library, and when I try to play them, I get the exclamation mark and have to direct iTunes to the original files on the old hard drive.
I've restarted everything and tried to consolidate again and again, but the files remain missing.
What should I do?
All advice gratefully received.
I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

"Install completed successfully", but many files are missing. (J2SE)
I downloaded the 80MB J2SE + netbeans package today, and when I try to install it, everything goes fine. Installer says it was successful, but MANY files are missing (including tha main netbeans file which the icon on my desktop links to). Here's my install log:

I have had nothing but problems with java so far and I am about ready to consider it a mediocre and unpredictable programming language that I can do without. Please help as i am quickly losing patience, especially on 56k when i have to download non-functional 80mb files. Anyways, this problem is happening on winxp home ed. thanks. I did it on HSD cable
this time and again the file sizes match. but, when i
go to a command prompt, and type java or javac, they
are unrecognized commands.You need to set up your PATH environment variable to include the path of the java.exe and javac.exe files. For the current command prompt, typing in:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\j2skd1.4.2\bin
Would do the trick. Change the directory, if you've installation is different. Then java and javac should be recognised.
and when i try to compile
an applet in netbeans that i wrote before and works
fine with an online compiler, it gives the error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main" Netbeans is treating your applet as an application. You should tell it it is an applet. I'm not sure how to do it, sorry. Best thing would be to use NetBeans to compile, but load the applet in an external browser.

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.. How do I get them back?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

I have published a website with iWeb on MobileMe quite successfully. I purchased a second domain name, and republished the same site on GoDaddy before trying to point my MobileMe website name to the GoDaddy server. I was unable to upload several pictures to the second site, and posted my dilemma here. It was suggested that I try using Cyberduck to publish via FTP, which I did. I was still missing the same images. The error message says that there was a communications error with the FTP server and to try again later. I have been able to upload several more new images to the second domain name just by using iWeb's publish feature.
I want to point my MobileMe website name, www.melissaveres.com to GoDaddy, which is now hosting www.mveres-engraver.com but it will only show the site as it is currently published, with several missing pictures. I have tried to delete the photos in iWeb, bring them back in, and republish but with the same results. I have contacted GoDaddy support, who can only tell me there is no file information for those open (missing) pictures, they have heard of this happening before, but had no information on how or if it was resolved. Anyone know how to get these pictures up before I move from MobileMe?
MelissaBring up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for you site and check to see what files are missing and where they belong. The URL for the missing files will tell you what folder they should be in.
Then publish you website to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Check to verify all images and present and the site works as you want. Then you can upload the missing files or folder containing the missing files or the eintire site folder to your GoDaddy account with Cyberduck.

Moved iTunes "library", but the files are still on the old drive
I have a 4 year old Windows Home Server that housed my actual media files/albums etc. Need to move THOSE files from that hard drive to a new NAS drive (synology). I google search an alway get the same instructions which show me how to move the iTunes Library and use that library (Shift/iTunes/choose). But that isn't coping the actual albums from the WHS to the Synology NAS drive. Got a folder Music, itunes has created a sub folder called iTunes, the .itl folder is in there etc. BUT I'm going to bring this old drive down. I could drag drop, but that isn't going to pick up any DRMs, nor is it going to get iTunes to point to it. What am I missing??
HELP - I have the NEWEST release of iTunes. which doesn't seem to have a move function or a consolidate function if thats the ticket.See make a split library portable for some general background.
Press ALT or CTRL+B to reveal the hidden menu bar. The consolidate function is where it always was.
With a NAS drive you'll get a performance hit by having the library files on the NAS, but you may want your library in portable shape to move easily from one system or drive to another. Having moved it you can then copy the library files to local storage for performance. Copy back to the NAS and access there once before attempting another move.

Using images in library view when file is missing
I have some images in the library but the file is missing. Can I somehow use the image displayed in the library view and export to disk for printing or e-mail? I’m using v4 on a Mac. Thanks.
Following on from the above I have downloaded the Extract previws help guide. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/extract-previews-lightroom-4.htmlThis runs a script to enable extracts to be made. After a bit of messing about with the process for choosing where to house the extracted files this works perfectly. It has certainly saved me a lot of pain and heartache.

Can't create a recovery drive: "Some required files are missing"
Hi guys,
Didn't have much luck in MS forums, maybe somebody here knows?
Whenever I try to create a recovery drive I find that "We can't create a recovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing. To troubleshoot problems when your PC can't start, use your Windows installation disc or media."
Uh?
Is a fresh Windows 8 x64 (RTM) installation. Only thing that I can think of is it has UEFI and Secure Boot enabled.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^Hey there dann,
What version of Windows 8 are you using? It appears you may need to the Window 8 disc to be able to create the recovery drive because it needs files that are not on your system. I found those part numbers for the Windows 8 recovery media for you.
04T7196 - Win 8 64 Bit US
04T7223 - Win 8 Pro 64 Bit US
Additional part numbers can be found here for all system parts and recovery media for you the Twist (s230u). If you contact service back they should be able to get the media sent to you. Good Luck.

How can I download my iMac iTunes library to an external drive and reload the library to iTunes on a PC?
Hi Niel. Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy? 1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library? 2 - How do you organize the library? 3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs? Thanks

I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different. So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb. I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this? I've been looking at Duplicate Annhilator but I don't think it can do it.
Thanks!I just ran a test with iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner, Duplifinder and Photodedupo. I imported a folder of 5 photos into a test library 3 times, allowing iPhoto to import duplicates. I then ran the 5 photos thru resizer to reduce their jpeg compression but all other aspects of the file the same.
None of the duplicate removal apps found set that was reduced in the file resizer. That's probably due to the fact that the file creation date was being used as a criteria and the resized photo would have a different file creation date even though the Image Capture date was the same.
They all found the 3 regular duplicates and some of them would mark two and leave the 3rd unmarked. iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner can sort the found duplicates by file size but if the file was edited to get the reduced file size it might not be found as it would have a different file creation/modification date.
iPhoto Library Manage was able to find all duplicates and mark them as such if the file names were the same the the filename option was selected. Otherwise it also missed the modified, resized version. It allowed one to select the one photo to save before going to work on the library.
So if a photo has been reduced in image quality or pixel size it will not be considered a duplicate.

When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors. But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.
This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks). So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports). So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks? Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format. Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Does anyone have a solution?
Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
Thanks guys,I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs.
I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try. -
Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

Tried changing language and resetting my phone but failed. I am using Starhub in Singapore currently.
The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
