Invalid file reference in iPhoto
Has anyone lese had a problem with the new iphoto?
I downloaded the update at the weekend (9.1.2 (605)) and the last batch of movies and photos that I had imported from my iPhone have all gone wrong
If I double click on a previous photo, the disappeared photos and movies can be clearly seen in thumbnail form at the strip at the bottom of the iphoto window
but when I click on them, the photos simply don't load
and clicking on the movies brings the error message: "The movie contains an invalid data reference."
When I view the movies and photos in the folder window, they can sometimes appear briefly but instantly disappear to dotted white rectangle.
subsequent iPhone imports have worked ok
What's going on?
Two possibilities:
1. The Files are where they should be and iPhoto has lost track of them
Or
2. The files are missing.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Masters'. The folder is arranged by date. Can you find the files inside.
Make no changes, simply look.

I have a program that logs data with a tdms file.
On my pc it works fine. When I build an exe and instal it on an other pc, I get the error:
"invalid tdms file reference"
Is this a problem with my vi or with the pc?

Stikstofdroger.vi 50 KBI'm wondering about that this works at your development machine.
You should think about attending a LabVIEW Style Guidline and LabVIEW Performance class.
But to fix you issues regarding the tdms file path you have to change a few things:
1. There is only a valid path when "Datalog OFF/ON" is set to true before you start the vi. You should change this by creating a new event case for the "Datalog OFF/ON" where the user then is able to start datalogging when the vi is allready running.
2. When "Show Measurements" is set to False you write an emtpy path constant into the shift register. Why? Either you wire the path from the left tunnel to the right or you think about if it is even necessary to wire the path through the case structure at all.
However, I would still recommend you to completely redesign your vi!

Hi, I recently upgraded to OX X Mountain Lion, and now I cannot upload any of my pictures from iphoto or even my desktop to email, etc. After I choose my file and hit "attach file" to upload, it says: "Invalid File Specified". I am using jpg, so I'm confused. Any suggestions?
Not having a media card in your BlackBerry may affect your ability to transfer media files onto it. There is a file size limit of 2.86MB when transferring files into device memory. http://bbry.lv/9XNuy0
Have you verified that the applications you are trying to install are supported by your current wireless provider? Unlocked devices from one provider may not have full functionality on another network.

I have a slide show (project) that will not export. The error triangle appears with the message: "This movie contains an invalid data reference" What is the issue, and what is the solution?
jhI found that the issue was with the title side, it had too many characters in the slide. When the number of characters was diminished, the show loaded without issue.

"The movie contains an invalid data reference" error in subscribed albums
I'm subscribed to a MobileMe album that contains movies (m4v). Just a few of these movies work well and some other will not play. I get the following error message: "The movie contains an invalid data reference". It seems that these movies are not downloaded since I can't find the original file in my iPhoto Library. For those movies without this problem I can find the original file in the iPhoto Library. It's needed to say that this problems shows up only in iPhoto since I can see all movies at the Gallery app in iPhone/iPod/iPad and also online. Any ideas?
Your profile shows you at 10.5.7. If that's correct download and run the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update. It wouldn't hurt to reapply it even if you're at 10.5.8.
Also reapply QuickTime 7.5 for Leopard and Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.5.5. -

Using network file share with iPhoto 08
Hello all: I am a new "switcher". My home network consists of a windows machine and my new imac, with a linux file server which I use to store all data files including my family's extensive photo library.
Back in windows land I was able to just point Picassa to the photo directory on my server and in this way all computers could share the same photo files.
I need to figure out how to do this with iPhoto 08. When I tried doing this yesterday, iPhoto wanted to copy over to my imac all our photos from the server. This is not exceptable.
I am able to do a similar thing with iTunes, where all our music lives on our linux server, but each computer can see and use the files from the server.
Thanks very much for the hand-holding, Chris.moseman
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.

Hello,
I am using shell script to run a set of sql scripts againts a 9.2 db.
When the script tries to write a file to a specified location it gives the following error,
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29282: invalid file ID
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 714

But if I run the same set of queries in a different box it runs successfully with now issues. We have verified that both versions of Oracle and AIX are one and the same. the directories to which it is trying to write has the same permissions too. Also did a comparison of the objects and didn't see any difference.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Control/file references closed and reused
See attached example. I realized that you can reuse a control reference even after it is closed, and this does not applied to file reference. Why is that?
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!
Solved!
Go to Solution.
Attachments:
refclose.vi 14 KBI didn't look at the example, but the general answer is simple - a control reference simply points to an existing control. As long as the control is still around (because LV keeps it around), closing the reference does nothing, because LV still needs it and it knows that.
A file reference, on the other hand, is something that you create yourself. Closing the reference also releases all the resources used by that reference, making it invalid. The same would apply to other type of references, such as DVRs, queues, TCP refnums, etc.

A File Reference and its evolving life!
Hi all,
I've noticed something that came as a little bit of a surprise to me, but I think I have the explanation, at a hand-wavy higher level anyway. What I have not established is if this is a 'bug' or a 'feature', and if there are any ways the following issue can be avoided at the NI function/api layer.
Consider the file open and file close function. You open a file, you use the reference to the file to write/read data, then at some point you close the reference and the close function spits out the file-path. Here are a couple of tid-bits you may not be aware of (that are easy to test):
Q1) After your application opens/creates a file and starts using the file-reference to make file writes, if an external source changes the file-name of that file... guess what will happen on your next write function call?
A1:: The write successfully updates the newly re-named file with your new data without producing an error or a warning. (At least this is the case if your program is running on a vxWorks cRIO target and the file-name is changed directly on the cRIO via an FTP browser.)
Did this surprise you? It did surprise me! -My handwavy explanation is that the file-pointer is perhaps managed/maintained by the OS, so when the OS tells the file-system to rename that file, the pointer that LabVIEW holds remains valid and the contents of the memory at the pointer location was updated by the OS.
Q2) Continuing from the situation setup in Q1, after writing several new chunks of data to a file now currently named something completely different than when the file reference was originally created, you use the close function to close the file-reference. What do you expect on the file-path output from the close function?? What do you actually get??
A2:: The close function will 'happily' return the ORIGINAL file-name, not the actual file-name it has been successfully writing to(!). This has some potentially significant ramifications on how/what you can use that output for. At this point there is a ton of room for pontifications and more or less 'crazy' schemes for what one could do, but I argue that the bottom line is that your application has at that point completely lost the ability to accurately and securely track your file(s). Yes, you could list a folder and try and 'figure out' if your file-name was re-named during writing and you can in various ways make more or less good 'guesses' on which file you in reality just had open, but you can never really know for sure.
So, what do you guys think?? Is the behavior of returning the (incorrect) original file-path when you close the handle a BUG or a FEATURE?? Would it not be possible for LabVIEW to read back the data contained in the (OS?) pointer location and as needed update the file out path data when it closes a reference? Should we not EXPECT that this would be the behavior?
Q3) Again, continuning from the above situation, lets assume we are back at the state in Q1, writing data to a (re)named file. What happens if the file is deleted by an external process? What happens to the file reference? File function calls using the reference?
A3:: This one is less surprising. The file reference remains 'valid' (because it is a valid reference), but depending on the file function you are calling, you will get error such as error 6 (binary write reports this), or error 4 (a TDMS write will report this error), etc. So as long as you don't rely on file ref-num tests to establish if you are good to go with a file-write or file-action, you should be safe to recover in an appropriate way.. Just don't forget to close the file-reference, even if the file is 'gone', the reference will still remain in memory until you 'close' it (with an error)(?I might be wrong about this last part?)
I am not sure if the above is possible on e.g. Windows, Windows would probably prevent you from re-naming a file that has an open file-handle to it, but this is definitley observable on at least vxWorks cRIO targets. (I don't have PharLap ETS or RTLinux devices so I can't test on those targets.. if you want to test its pretty straigth forward to make a simple test app for it.)
[begin rant-mode related to why I found this out and why this behavior BITES]
There are situations where the above situation could cause some rather annoying issues that, for somewhat contrived reasons related to cRIO file API performance, CPU and memory resource management, are non-trivial to work around. for example, using the NI "list folder" to listing folders take a very hefty chunk of time at 100% cpu that you cannot break up, so polling/listing folders after every file update (or even on a less regular interval) is a big challenge, and if you are really unlucky (or didn't know any better) and gave the list command in a folder with 1000's of files (as opposed to less than about 100 files), the list will lock your CPU at 100% for 10's of seconds... Therefore, you might be tempted to maintain your own look-up table of files so that your application can upload/push/transfer and/or delete files as dictated by your application specific conditions... except that only works until some prankster or well-intention person remotes in and starts changing file-names, because then your carefully maintained list of file-names/paths' suddenly fall appart.

CLD LabVIEW 7.1 to 2013Hey guys, thanks for turning out your comments on this thread!
-Deny Access : still able to re-name (and delete) the file via FTP browser (didn't test other file avenues). I think this is for the same reason that NI vxWorks targets (such as cRIO-9014) do not support the concept of different users with different rights, as such, everyone have access rights to everything at the OS level. Another issue for me would be that "Deny Access" does not work on TDMS file references, so even if it worked, it would not help me.
--> I strongly suspect that these things are non-issues or issues that can be properly managed, on the new NI LinuxRT targets since (the ftp is disabled by default) it supports user accounts and user restrictions on files/folders. The controller could simply create the files in a tree where 'nobody else' has write access.
Obviously nobody should mess around with files on a (running) cRIO, but customers don't always do what they are supposed to do.
As far as the 'resources' or overhead to update the file-refnum with the new information, this would not be needed to be done in a polling fashion, simply, when the file-close function is called, as part of that call it updates its internal register from the pointer data, so this should be a low overhead operation I would think? If that is a true concern, a boolean input defaulting to not updating or a separate 'advanced close' could be created?
I've included a zip with the LV2013 project and test VI's (one for tdms one for binary) that I've used. nothing fancy, but in the interest of full disclosure. The snippet is the 'binary file' test vi, in case you just want a quick peak:
Steve Bird's findings of (yet) another behavior on Pharlap systems is also very interesting, I think!!
[EDIT] JUST TO CLARIFY, on vxWorks, the re-named file keeps being successfully written to, unlike the PharLaps' empty file that Steve Bird found.

How can I create dynamic file references in Power Query?
Hi all,
I'm new at using PowerQuery, and so far I like it. There's one thing I am struggling with though... Once I have set up my PoweQuery connections, I don't find an easy way to change the file to which the query is connecting. I'm using it for a monthyl recurring
process, and every month the source data to query on woudl be different. The same in format/structure, but just a different dataset.
Is there a way to make the source setup more dynamic? Can I for example in a parameters sheet enter the name and path of the new source file and update the queries?
Currently the Advanced editor shows me following file reference:
let
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("Z:\Templates\EMEA\Source Data Tables\EMEA_EW_Source_Data_for_Power_Queries v1.xlsm")),
Thanks in advance for suggestionsYes, this is something that you can do with Power Query. Here's how you can do it:
Create a table in Excel containing your parameter value. Let's say that it has one column, called ParameterValue, and one row.
Create a new Power Query query that gets the data from this table. Call the query something like ParameterQuery.
In your original query you will now be able to reference values from your parameter query by saying something like this:
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(ParameterQuery[ParameterValue]{0})),
