Instrument library won't recognize files

I purchased the download version of Logic Pro 9.1.7 last evening and I'm already having problems. Forum and Google searches haven't turned up the answer to my problem.
After installing all the additional download content a large number of my instruments have been "lost" and are unlisted in the library. Most are .aif files and search finds that the files still exist in ApplicationSupport:Logic and they reside in the "EXS Factory Samples" and "Sampler Instruments" folders. I have tried moving those folders to no avail. They were usable before I downloaded the additional content.
PLEASE help.

Correction. The unrecognized files include many .exs and .wav files and are not limited to .aif

Please Help - My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic

My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic 80gb. I try doing the trouble shooting steps on apple, but they still did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to add some newer music to my old iPod for listening in the car or when travelling. Thanks a lot.

Hello dmbnewfie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPod classic is not being recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer. I know you have tried some troubleshooting on the Apple website as well, but without knowing which steps you have completed, I would suggest working through the attached iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant.

Have a great day,

Restore won't recognize file

Successfully backed up Curve 8330 to DM V 4.1.   (ad to wipe handheld due to a server upgrade.) Tried to restore back to Curve V 4.7 and won't recognize the file.
First thought is to restore to an old 7130 phone first then perform a back up on a newer DM version to then restore to the Curve.
Any ideas? Solutions? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, look ON the pc and determine if and where the backup file is located. It will have the date in the file name and the "backup" as well, and end in the file type of IPD.
Second, is your boss on a corporate BES account? If so there will be a way to make the backup file be recognized.
Let me know.

Photoshop won't recognize files unless they have file extension

Programs won't recognize their own (older) documents unless the file name includes the file type extension. For example, Photoshop won't recognize a .jpg from another Mac unless the .jpg is included in the file name.
How can I fix that without having to type the file extension every single time I want to open a file I've made on another Mac?
I have already turned on "show file extensions" in Finder Preferences. Some files just won't show their extensions.
Is there some other setting I can change?

I just did a little testing here to try and duplicate your issue. You're right. I pulled various old files from my archives that were created under OS 9. Which as you know, didn't normally use any type of file extensions.
Anything that was a TIFF, JPEG or EPS file opened in Preview, even though I know they were created in Photoshop. Adding the appropriate extension didn't change anything, they still opened in Preview. The only ones that opened in Photoshop when double clicked were those saved as native Photoshop files, even though they didn't have a .psd extension.
I was able though to do the normal process of doing a Get Info on a TIFF, changing it to open in Photoshop and then clicking the Change All button. From then on, all TIFFs opened in Photoshop as expected whether they had an extension or not.

Log and Transfer: FCE4 won't recognize files from my camera

Hi ...
I have a Sony XHR-NX5U and am capturing video on an optional Sony 128GB hard drive built for this camera. I've shot AVCHD video in both 1080/60i HQ and 1080/60i FX formats, and the camera produces video files in an MTS format (nestled in a series of folders), along with accompanying CPI files (I don't know what these are for).
My FCE4 program doesn't allow me to either import these files or use log/transfer. I've been forced to buy an external program to convert the MTS files into MOV files and then import these (Log and Transfer still won't recognize these MOV files).
What can I do to get FCE4 to recognize and allow the files directly from my camera?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
- matt

I see your camera can be switched to record a bunch of ways.
Try this one:
AVCHD FH (17Mbps) 1920x-1080/60i
It should work with Log and Transfer over USB.
Also make sure you start a New Project in FCE with the Easy Setup AVCHD-Apple Intermendaite Codec1920 x 1080i60 selected and active.
Some cameras do not seem to transfer if mixed media is on the card. Try a test with the above media ONLY on the card.

Premiere Elements won't recognize files

Hello, I am using Premiere Elements 8 and I am so frustrated with it. All of a sudden when I go to add media, it does not recognize files. I tried to open 2 mp4 files and it said it was the wrong file type or I didn't have the necessary codec. Last week it had no problem adding MP4 files. So, I converted the MP4 files into AVI files and guess what? It didn't recognize them either. I could scream. So I tried to add an mp3 file, no luck. Converted it to a WAV file, same thing. So, anybody have an idea of what is going on?
Would someone like to convince me that this software isn't a piece of trash?
Two weeks ago I was adding titles to a movie I was putting together and it crashed every time I added a title. But at least the title was added before it crashed. I had 12 titles and it crashed 11 times, so I had eleven titles added. I finally gave up adding the last title when it crashed before I could add the title. I tried to add the title about 10 times before I gave up.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

>Last week it had no problem adding MP4 files...converted the MP4 files into AVI files
If you are not able to open files that did open before, something has changed... or maybe become corrupted
Reset Corrupted Preferences = Press/HOLD Ctrl+Alt+Shift while starting program
If that does not work, you need to find out exactly what is inside your files

I copied library to a new hard drive, now iphoto won't recognize files.

I am new to iPhoto, so be gentle. My daughter uses it a lot, and now I seem to have messed up her library. We are using iPhoto 4.0.3. OS 10.4.11
I installed a new hard drive. I copied the iTunes and iPhoto libraries to the new larger hard drive. I copied the iphoto library to a designated folder (not the default folder). My daughter has now moved the photos into their default location, and advised iPhoto of where to look - User/Daughter/Pictures/iPhoto library. When she opens iPhoto her photos don't appear. When she picks a photo and drops it into iPhoto, the message appears,
"could not be imported because an unrecognizable type or file may not contain valid data."
The files are jpegs that open fine in Photoshop, Preview etc.
I did some reading and saw reference to deleting the file com.apple.iphoto.plist. Tried that, no success.
I would appreciate your assistance. Like I say, I don't know iPhoto at all. As a second question, I have a G4 with a dual 1.8 processor, what version of iPhoto/iLife should I be looking to upgrade to?
Thanks for your help.

"could not be imported because an unrecognizable type or file may not contain valid data."
That is the standard error you get when you try to import a photo that already resides inside the iPhoto Library folder. It prevents duplication in your library.
It sounds like you followed the correct procedure, but let's double-check. iPhoto can be run from a location other than the default. When you moved the library, did you copy the whole iPhoto Library folder as one intact unit? How did your dtr point iPhoto to the library? The correct way is to hold down Option while launching, select "Choose (or Find) Library" then navigate to the iPhoto Library folder and Open. Is this what you/she did? If so, perhaps try again?
As a second question, I have a G4 with a dual 1.8 processor, what version of iPhoto/iLife should I be looking to upgrade to?
I am very happy with iLife '06 on my 1.4 GHz G4 mini with 1 GB RAM. You could get iLife '08 for iPhoto 7, but be aware that iMovie 7 won't load on your machine because it requires a G5 or Intel machine. I made the decision not to upgrade because I'm happy with my current performance, and I think that the video-intensive and RAM-hog iPhoto 7 would bog down my mini. You can still buy iLife '06 from Amazon.com. See the system requirements:

Photoshop CS2 for Win 7 won't recognize file type

I scanned some images using Phtoshop CS2 and saved them in Photoshope as jpgs. But apparently photoshop interpretted the end of the file name that I typed as a file extension - so a file that was called Portrait-06.22.1999 - was saved as a "1999" file as opposed to a jpg file. I can view these images in Windows Photo Viewer or Windows Live Photo gallery but they won't open in Photoshop. How do I change the file type so photoshop will recognize them? I tried just to add a JPG extension to the name of the file but that did not work. Also those photos that had this problem but were listed under "open recent" - I was able to get back in and save again as jpg and now they are fine. What to do with the others? Is there a trick or something I need to download? Thanks.

Tested an image. Here are the results.
If you have bat.test and save it saves as bat.test. In bridge their is no thumbnail as it is not recognized. You can rename as bat.jpg and it then works. Just right click and select rename.
If you have bat.test.jpg you can rename and just eliminate .test
Yes, you loose a little bit each time you save a jpg, but if you have it above 9? it is very minute. You would probalby have to save it dozens of times to see the difference on the screen. Depends on original pixel size and what you are going to do with it as to whether you will see any difference.

Installed Itunes 10.2.1, can't find library & won't recognize mobile device

I installed the update to 10.2.1 ( not sure why, everything was working just fine) and it gave me an error message that it could not find the library itl. file and was in a music folder location. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled etc. Itunes is working fine now (I think). I thought I had it working and now it will not recognize my mobile device automatically. If I open itunes it will recognize my ipod but will not start automatically as checked. I have done all of the steps on the support website as per uninstalling/reinstalling and starting/stopping/starting mobile support programs and it still will not automatically start when I plug my ipod in. This would not be a big deal but the program I am using to add my library from my ipod onto my itunes will not work unless the mobile support system recognizes the device without prompt. As afore mentioned I had to wipe my old library and this is the best way to restore all of my playlists etc. because my music files did not save playlists. HELP!

OK - pretend I never asked. I just closed iTunes, disconnected the iPhone, reconnected it and hey presto, it all works again. I note, however, that it re-installed the USB device driver software when I plugged the iPhone back in. When I restarted the PC after installing the latest iTunes, I left the phone plugged in, which I guess was the cause.
Do I get points for answering my own question?

Photoshop CS4 won't recognize file and won't save

Help! I have Photoshop CS4. I have had trouble in the past with photoshop not recognizing my raw files from Nikon (NEF). Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Now I can't get PS to save any file, jpeg or ps. Can anyone help me please?

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Library won't recognize iPod's music

I recently got a new computer, have my iTunes set up and up to date, and it completely recognizes my iPod and allows me to use it perfectly (my iPod is also up to date). However, the library of my iTunes doesn't recognize any of the songs on my iPod, so I can't get the songs on my iPod onto my library.

Won't recognize files

Numbers won't open any of my files. It says "you need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet."
I've tried multiple files, including files I haven't touched in a long time, and it's always the same message.
I've tried deleting Numnbers, but then when I go to the App Store it says that numbers is already installed so I can't "reinstall".
Very frustrating......

Here's a shot at it without knowing what os you are running:
You are likly to have both Numbers '09 (2.3) and Numbers 3 on your computer.
Three bars is '09, four bars N3.
If you are tryng to open N3 files with '09 you could get that message. If you are storing files in the cloud they could be updated to the newest version.
Hope this helps.

Won't recognize file format

When I click on an excel or word document it can't find the application but if I open up an excel or word program first it will open the document in the correct program. How do I correct this "link"?

Hi Terry!
Do your Office documents have the appropriate file extensions appended to their filenames (.doc, .xls, etc.)? This is imperative for Windows and growing more and more necessary for Mac files.

Library won't recognize new ipod... need help

My girlfriend and I decided to consolidate to one pc. We took the advice of this board and set up two users on the PC. Her itunes will only play with the ipod connected. No songs will appear in library(only newly downloaded songs will appear). How do we get her ipod song list into the library?
Thanks!!

It's saying "Firewire cables are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided"??? But that is what I've been doing?! I have been connecting my ipod to my pc with the wire that came with the ipod.
Then I even tried using the wire that came with the previous generation ipods - which has the little square piece that goes into the ipod and then the wire splits in two, and one wire goes into (what I think is) the firewall socket in my pc, and the other wire goes into this other socket.
That is what use to work with my other ipods. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS ONE?? Do I need another USB wire??
