ITunes imports library after every restart creating a 'damaged' file

I have a MacBook Pro 17" running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes version 10.3.1. I have upgraded to two WD 750 hard drives internally, and my music library is approximately 500GB.
Almost every other time I restart iTunes or my laptop, iTunes has to reload the library and tells me that it's created a Damaged library file with the recovered music. Each time it does that 'library' contains all of my music, and each damaged library is exactly the same. Is anybody else having this issue, or had this issue and found a solution?
I have tried re-installing my OS, re-installing iTunes, as well as running numerous checks on both hard drives. Thank you!

While it's sporatic when nothing has changed in the library, it would appear that Everytime the library is added to, it will malfunction again in the same way...
I'm going to try RAIDing my hard-drives, re-installing it all, and seeing if that changes things, Here Goes!

Any suggestions, or fixes, as to why I have to rebuild my library after EVERY shutdown? I am running the latest 10.6, 2.92 ghz iMac core 2 duo, with 4gb ram.

Any suggestions, or fixes, as to why I have to rebuild my library after EVERY shutdown? I am running the latest 10.6, 2.92 ghz iMac core 2 duo, with 4gb ram. Install went well, as far as I know. No other problems. I fear, that unless I fix this, when I upgrade to a new computer, I will be taking the same problem with me.

So if you start Aperture do some stuff in it, quit, then open Aperture again it starts up OK but if you then quit Aperture, reboot your machine and start Aperture it stalls?
You're internal drive is getting close to being overfull your at about what 18.5% free space (some we'll say it's already overfull). You might what to think about freeing up space. If you weren't having any troubles I'd say it was fine but as you are experiencing problems it is something to look at.
While its been doing the processing have you been able to open the activity window in Aperture? If you click on the spinnig gear (not the beachball) when Aperture is busy you can usually get the activity window to open.
Other then that not sure what else to recommend at this point.

Same bugs occuring after every restart

I'm using webOS 2.1.2 on an HP Veer 4G. Every time I restart the phone, the following bugs happen:
1) The Voice Dial shortcut that I put on the taskbar (wave) has been removed; also, the Voice Dial shortcut that I had moved to a custom location in the Applications panel is lost and the icon is moved to the last spot. Every time, I have to move it back to where I want it in the Applications panel and then re-add it to the taskbar (wave) area.
2) Even though I've already gone through the entire tutorial in hopes that it would never bother me again, a Gestures Tutorial notification comes up every single time the phone starts up. I would just like to delete this application, if possible, but I don't see a way to do it like I can with custom apps.
Has anyone else experienced these or similar issues after a restart and know of any solutions or work-arounds? Also, is there an official place that I can report bugs to Palm/HP? Thanks!
Post relates to: HP Veer p160una (AT&T)
This question was solved.

Thetreoguy:
Thanks for the reply! I'll look forward to an update for the Voice Dial app soon.
Regarding the Gesture Tutorial, you are correct that it did not finish the first time I used it. The tutorial actually locked up on me and I had to shut it down. I've followed it through to completion a couple of times since then, but it still pops up after every restart.
What exactly will happen if I go to Reset Options and Erase apps and data? Will it erase my personal data that I've spent a long time adding, or just the default apps? Once it erases the apps, how do I get them back (with the exception of the Gesture Tutorial, of course)? If it erases all my personal data too, is there a way to back them up and copy them back to the phone and still preserve all contact information and the link to the contact photos I've added?
Thanks again for your help.

8 fonts in the trash after every restart!

Hi.
Snow Leopard 10.6.1 is working great but I am finding 8 fonts in the trash after every restart!
ArialHB, Corsiva, Nadeem, NewPeninimMTBoldInclined, Baghdad, MshtakanRegular, NewPeninimMT, NewPeninimMTInclined.
This can't be good. Does anybody know what that means and what to do?
I see a lot of people have font-problems.
W.W.

Your choice - Back them up to CD-R if you've a mind, but I'd pull the trigger, finish them off and get rid of them. They've ended up there for a reason.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come in from MS Office 2008, including fonts related to an Equation Editor installation.
Good luck going forward.

Sticky Keys keeps turning off after every restart

the Sticky Keys option in the universal access prefs pane keeps turning off after every restart. how can i fix this?

It seems to be a common problem in the OS that when you restarts some of the settings get reset. For me it happens with the screeen dimming before sleep and the double click using 2 fingers and maybe others that I don't know about. I am hoping that its fixed in 10.4.7 which should be out within a week or so.

After Effects error: Creating a resource file

Hi everyone
I'm administrating a machine with several users mainly using After Effects. The machine runs on Windows 7 64 bit.
I recently had to install videocopilots Optical Flares. Everything runs fine on my admin account but if i open AE on a user account i get an error message while on the loading screen. It says:
After Effects error: Creating a resource file "c:insert path to OpticalFlares.aex here" (might be a bit different in english as i translated this from german)
Every user has full read and write permission on the AE support files folder. Has anyone ever had such an error? All other plugins work as they should on every account.
Thanks for any hints!
Michael

I still think it is a permissions/ user privileges/ policies/ security issue - if it runs on one account, it is unlikely the plug-in is damaged or you installed the 32bit version in CS5 or vice versa. I strongly suspect the plug-in is unable to probe your graphics card and thus never initializes. Perhaps it's being blocked by some security tool or your user account doesn't have the permissions to load system drivers. The latter can be fixed by changing the respective entry in your group policy editor (gpedit.msc). The respective point would be in Computerkonfiguration --> Windows-Einstellungen --> Sicherheitseinstellungen --> Lokale Richtlinien --> Zuweisen von Benutzerrechetn --> Laden und Entfernen von Gerätetreibern. And of course temporarily turn off security stuff to verify it's not the problem.

Can't login to Mac Pro after every restart

Hi all,
For 5 days I've not been able to log into my computer at work after its been restarted/gone to sleep. The IT guys have had to do all kinds of stuff to get it working again. And every time we think it's fixed, I've come in the next morning and have the same problem, can't login.
I've eliminated that its my login details as I was able to login on another machine just fine. And others can't login to my computer, so it's obviously an issue with my machine/OS.
Does anyone have any ideas of why this would keep happening? It's as if something keeps resetting after each restart that then won't allow anyone else to login. This is all I can think of, but honestly have no idea. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated as its really frustrating and putting me very behind on my work. Thank you!
Btw, it's a Mac Pro duel quad core, 16GB ram, OS 10.6.7 I believe.
Also, the admin and root can login, just not any other accounts. So the computer can be accessed, but not thru my or any other accounts on the network.

Hey there.
Well, I figured out what is causing my problem. It's Mobile accounts. I started fresh with a new install and a standard Active Directory account (not Mobile). I authenticated 20+ times. Rebooted at least 10 times. Everything worked great. Then I decided to create the Mobile account. That's when everything broke again. My Active Directory account was getting locked after one accurate attempt to authenticate. When IT unlocked it I could go one step further but then would lock me out the next time I tried to authenticate. I've replicated this twice.
So for me, it's clearly a Mobile account problem. Which is bad because half of the Macs under my care are notebooks.
Please let me know what you find out on your end.
Thanks,
Adam

2 fonts in my trash after every restart

Hello forum,
I've been pestered by a strange buggy sitch for weeks now, and I cannot find a solution. I looked 50 pages deep into the threads regarding the FINDER, no answers. There were a few threads on Trash issues, none close to what I'm experiencing. Although not a "mission critical" problem, it's mostly an annoyance which, to me, hints of something more serious or potentially bad.
Every time I restart - either when restarting after a BootCamp session BACK to Leopard - or when simply restarting Leopard for what ever reason - I always have two fonts in my trash can, in a "Recovered Files" folder. They delete without trouble or fuss...
One of the two fonts is always " ヒラギノ角ゴ ProN W3.otf " and the other is "AppleGothic.ttf " .
Once or twice the second font was Waldorf, Adobe Garamond, Apple Garammond, whatever... This suggests to me it has little to do with the font(s) itself.
Of note; none of these fonts were being actively used by an application I was working in (i.e. Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Mail, Safari, etc.) Of course, they are in use by the system - due to the nature that they are indeed "loaded" into the OS.
In terms of what I've done to try and fix this myself, I've done the following:
• I occasionally run AppleJack
• I've used Apple's *Font Book* to verify all fonts and check for duplicate fonts - all dupes are turned-off.
• I've deleted most every non-US English font typeface the system had, especially any/all of the Asian dialect fonts
Can anyone suggest a solution? Thank you in advance - I love these forums, they are always most helpful!

Latest developments:
The problem seems to have been corrected - that's the good news. The bad? I'm not sure what exactly fixed it; this is what I did:
I ran CHKDSK from within BootCamp. Everything checked-out just fine. Of note, XP crashed from a "stable" desktop after I changed the security settings on a JPG file. I know there isn't a correlation at all here - that JPG file didn't exist when this problem began occurring weeks ago.
I think the fix was deleting some font files - not from within Font Book - but directly from the user font directory; path and fonts as follows:
Mac HD > Users > UserName > Library > Fonts >
the following four fonts were deleted:
MS Gothic.ttf
MS Mincho.ttf
MS PGothic.ttf
MS PMincho.ttf
After several restarts - from into and out BootCamp AND into and out of a few other user accounts, returning to my main login account (running as Admin) the "Recovered Files" folder did NOT appear in the trash, of course, neither did any fonts.
Lastly, I ran OnyX and deleted (fully) the trash - it found a few items from other user accounts, deleted all of that garbage (what ever it was) before deleting the aforementioned fonts.
In retrospect, I suspect the origin my have been simply a corrupted font such that FontBook didn't catch the problematic font. It subsequently corrupted one or more of my custom font lists from within FontBook. I trashed those custom lists the other night, but the problem persisted...
So - cumulatively, something did the trick.
Case closed for now.

Itunes loses connection after every song

my remote speakers go silent after every song.
macbook pro to gigabit airport w/aidisk drive to airport express.
this is a new problem all of a sudden, i lost connection before but rarely
and usually due to an error with the firewall.
itunes continues to play but the remotes are silent.
thanks for any help.

Are all the songs in the playlist checked (the checkbox in front of each song checked)?

Server file system is growing after every restart of weblogic - OBIEE 11g

Hi,
We do a backup of the our BI production server every night (OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BI1)
The process we follow is:
1. Stop BI Services
2. Weblogic (incluedes Node Manager, Weblogic and others)
After every stop of weblogic, there is a file get created under WLS_Home/instances/instance1 and the file is like core.xxxxx ( e.g. core_31176, core_19440).
My questions regarding these files are:
1. What is the use of these files?
2. Can I delete them (Depends on the answer of the above question)?
3. Is it possible to control not to create these files (if they are not useful)?
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like it is safe to remove those file's unless you need to debug any weblogic issues.
Please mark correct or helpful if answered.

Connecting Window iTunes Store appears after every single search character

Hi Community,
if I use the search in iTunes 10.3.x Store, after tipping a single character always a separate window appears with the message "connecting to the store" - the window appear after every single character of a search e.g. "Madonna" and it will lasts minutes to get a result!
It looks like here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1426841/itunes.png
Did anyone have a idea what to do?
I've just tried following steps:
clear iTunes caches
delete iTunes plist's
delete and reinstall iTunes
perform pram reset
latest iTunes updates
Nothing helps at all to cover this problem!
This problem exits since a few month (starting with iTunes 10.2.x), just starts from one day to another without any change at the OS.
Thanx in advance for any helpful ideas ;-)

Try clicking Store>Authorize This Computer in iTunes.
If that doesn't take care of it, take a look at this Apple document -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297.
WTH.

README file opens after every restart??

The hard drive in my iMac died and Apple replaced it under warranty. The new drive was loaded with OS X 10.6. I decided to migrate my user files, applications, settings from my cloned backup (SuperDuper) on my external drive rather than simply copying the backup using SD. I thought this might maintain a more pristine newly installed system. Everything seems to work well except for one aggravating phenomenon. After each restart I get an opened TextEdit "README" document that reads in part: "This README file is copied into the direcgory for GCC-only header files when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC.
Many of the files in this directory were automatically edited from the standard system header files by the fixincludes process............"
Why am I getting this message with startups and more importantly how do I fix this so the message does not appear?
Thanks.
John

Neil,
Thanks for the help. I did find an entry for TextEdit in the User Login Items section. I don't know why or how it got there. I suppose it had something to do with using Migration Assistant to move files.

My iTunes Music Library.xml includes 2 location paths for files

A while ago, I copied and consolidated my itunes-songs from internal drive c: to internal drive f:
I changed the location of my "itunes library" accordingly to look at f:... - all went well and all songs were playing from the new location (I thought).
However, after a while I decided to delete the OLD physical location of the mp3-files on c: and now about 2.000 songs in my iTunes are missing and have the well know "!" mark in front of them.
Now, in the itunes music library, there are 2 different locations for my songs listed - although there is only 1 location given in the settings.
Most songs are - where they should be - at localhost/f:/....
But the missing songs still are listed at localhost/c:....
Apart from the fact that I am still searching for the songs (have emptied the trash since) - how in the world can the itunes library still contain 2 different paths?
Any ideas?

One point where this seems to occur consistently is if you reboot or turn off Windows while iTunes is running, and have a largeish music collection.
Explanation: Programmatically, iTunes main window apparently responds OK (=TRUE) to the Windows WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and at the same time starts to write the *.ITL and *.XML files to the hard disk. Meanwhile, Windows continues to end the session because - after all - it was OK'ed by iTunes. Now, if the iTunes music library is "large enough", Windows will finish ending the session before iTunes has finished writing said files, and the next time you run iTunes they'll turn up corrupt. This is a huge caveat during iTunes reinstallation, because most of the time a reboot is needed whilst iTunes will necessarily be running at the same time (consequently, if you have a largeish music library, always back up the *.XML and *.ITL files before reinstalling or updating iTunes!!!!)
This is nearly an elementary bug, and a sad indication of the level of testing done by the Apple to products before they're released.
Workarounds: I myself just frequently backup the *.ITL and *:XML files to a different directory, and restore if file corruption occurs. Another workaround is to have another program (say, Notepad.exe) with an edited but unsaved file currently open. When Windows session ends, you will have one extra chance to delay the session end, so that either you remember to close iTunes first, or if iTunes was closed first, it'll have enough time to complete writing the library metadata back to disk.
Asian and European phone giants have nothing to afraid about iPhone, if iTunes and iPod classic are any indication of its quality.
