ITunes startup and store issues "file already exists"

Hi there,
I got a problem with iTunes starting up and i cant solve it with the suggestions available in the handbooks or discussion forums.
A) When i start up itunes i get an error message saying "the file already exists".
I can then browse my music and shop as usual.
B) When i try to buy something in the store a similar error message pops up, "File already existent"
What i tried so far:
- Deinstalled itunes and all other Apple producs + associated files and folders.
- System checkup incl. viruses and various cleanups
Operating System is Windows 7.
My Devices work on other machines without any problems.
Anyone has a solution for what file might be existent or where else the problem can be?
Thanks so much!

Hello Cuprastar,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like these error messages are indicating there could be a problem with the iTunes library itself.
I would recommend recreating the iTunes library with the help of this article:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
When you do this, iTunes will offer to scan for media files, and you should let it perform the scan.
Take care,
Sterling

  • PSE 9 Scanner Issue- "File already exists"

    Probably a really basic question but PSE is rejecting the first two scans of every multi-scan (usually a 4 photo scan). Says "files already exist" but they don't. They are new images never scanned before. But it will accept the last two images scanned.
    I can't find a work-around and it's paralyzed my scanning of hundreds of pictures.  All media types are checked under View.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks much!.

    Hi Rick,
    I'm not sure I'll be much help.  Right up front I admit I've never scanned into PSE.
    Are you saying that if the ScanGear software divides the images, everything is OK in PSE?
    In other words, do you get the error only if you use PSE to divide the images?
    If #1 is false, the fact that the location of the "existing" file is in a temp directory (and not in your specified scan folder) suggests that there is a communication problem between the ScanGear software and PSE.  If #2 is true, then that's an internal PSE problem.
    If you leave PSE out of the picture, can you scan directly from ScanGear and tell it to place the divided images in your scan folder?

  • EXPDP generates new dmp file and reports "file already exists" error

    Hello everyone,
    Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I got some problems with datapump expdp 10.2.0.4. It would be appreciated if you could provide some advice. Thanks in advance.
    I newly created a 10.2.0.4 database. The database can startup and be connected via Toad without problem. I can also use impdp to import some data to the new database. But when I'm trying to use expdp to export a schema from the database, I got the following errors:

    Your advice is highly appreciated.

    i thought I found the problem. Used same file name on dump file and log file. How stupid of me. Sorry for bothering. Thanks and happy new year!

  • PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

    I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
    Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
    I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
    I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here  that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem.  But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
    Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
    Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

    Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
    Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
    I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
    I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
    Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
    I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
    I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

  • Weird CS4 error when saving eps files on a Mac: "...specified files already exist in the target location"

    Hi There,
    All 3 workstations in our studio are experiencing weird file behavior when re-saving eps files from Illustrator.
    Basically Illustrator creates a new file in addition to the original and adds a "-01.eps" onto the file name. If you re-save your original, Illustrator brings up a dialogue box that states:
    Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced:
    filename.eps
    filename-01.eps
    We've been deleting the "-01.eps" files each time but it's becoming tedious. The behaviour occurs when re-saving an eps file to a server or the desktop.
    All machines are new Quad-core MacPros running:
    - Leopard 10.5.8
    - Illustrator CS4 14.0.0
    We've checked for Illustrator updates from within Illustrator but we seem to be running the latest version.
    Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
    Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Thanks for the reply.
    The error occurs when we save the document but if we choose save as, "Use Artboards" seems to be unchecked so not sure if this issue is related or not. Will re-save the document using save as then see if the issue persists.
    Why do we still use eps?
    Basically because we've found it to be much more compatible. Our entire logo library is in eps format (18 years worth) partly because it was previously the only format to use and partly because it allows account managers to send logos to clients, printers, TV stations etc and not involve the studio (saving out an eps version).
    Although "Create PDF compatible file" is a good idea, we've encountered costly issues with colours and images - especially if the recipient is using old CS software, non-Adobe software or is using some kind of hardware RIP. We now just go with what we know works.
    But I do find saving eps versions of everything to be a bit painful. In fact, I've always found Illustrator in general to be a bit painful when compared with Photoshop or AfterEffects. Illustrator seems like it's been developed by a different company some times!
    Cheers, and thanks for the help.

  • "file already exists in the destination" during application build

    I am trying to build an executable and have gotten the following error:
    The file already exists in the destination.
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\Sentech LV 82\Shared Library - Trigger SDK\StTrgApi.dll
    WHen I start the build I go to "Build Executable" then click "Build"
    The VI for the project I have open is the Startup VI and I do not list any Dynamic VIs or Support FIles.
    I am using Labview 8.2
    I installed a user library for a USB camera from Sentech wich I am using and it works fine in Labview 8.2
    When I try to do the build I get the error shown above. The file it is referencing is there along with the .lvlib file.
    I tried removing the file shown in the error message to see what would happen and I continue to get the same error even though the file is not there. I even restarted LV and still got the same error.

  • Database Adapter Configuration Wizard "File already exists" error

    I'm uding JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 on an XP machine running Java 1.5.0_06 and having trouble editing SOAOrderBooking.bpel as part of the tutorial.
    The tutorial calls for me to drag a new Database Adapter onto the diagram, select the "soademo_ssn" database and, on page 3 of the wizard select "Perform an operation on a table" and have only "Select" checked.
    When I click "Perform an operation on a table", the 5 tickboxes enable and are checked but the mouse pointer remains as an hourglass. If I press "Next" without doing anything else, the Wizard title changes to "Select Table" but never draws its controls, aside from the "Back" etc buttons along the bottom and the decorative graphic to the left. If I do try unchecking boxes to have only "Select" selected, every check box state change generates the error "File already exists" and the path of the .mwp file whose name I specified earlier. The file does exist, but it didn't before I entered the wizard.
    I've tried with three different filenames, and with two different database connections- both of which check out fine when I do "Test connection" in their property pages from the Connection Navigator.
    If I delete the file after each check state change, I can stop the errors appearing after I untick each checkbox, but the wizard still hangs on pressing "Next" whether the file is there or not.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am facing the same issues.
    I want to pick the new files and retain the files after polling.
    Any idea on this would help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • "file already exists"

    Hi there!
    Photoshop CS4 gives me a strange error. When trying to save a psd file as a jpg (using "save as"), it doesn't change the extension when selecting jpg from the format drop down menu. This results in a message, saying that the original file already exists, or when I save it to a different location, I get a psd file with jpg algoritm. Anyone any idea?
    I'm using XP SP3. Other programs do not have this issue. For instance, when working in Adobe Acrobat, and trying to save a pdf in the rtf format, it correctly changes the file extension, and saves the file as rtf.
    Thanks in advance!

     The problem must either lie with Photoshop, or a combination of Photoshop on my XP configuration.
    Most probably, since I don't get that problem. Maybe try installing the 11.0.1 update (if you haven't yet). If that doesn't work, then try to figure out the extent of the issue.  Try PS in a different Windows user account (create a new one), and turn off the unnecessary stuff that runs in the background on your computer. If you're not familiar with msconfig, then see this document for turning of background stuff:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404984_en-us
    Let us know if either of these change the situation, and hopefully we can help you out from there.
    Also, have you installed any plug-ins for PS? Maybe one of these is interfering with Photoshop's jpeg plug-in somehow. Check out this document:

  • Files Already Exist when Reconnecting Presumably Missing Files

    I am struggling to clean-up several hundred files in my PSE organizer database.
    Whenever I run the reconnect all command (or any other command that requires reconnecting first), PSE locates a large group of presumably missing files. PSE's "Reconnect Missing Files" dialogue shows me the former location of the files. I browse to that location and find the files still there. I then select the file and press reconnect. Unfortunately, I then get an error that says "The file already exists in the catalog." This clears the missing file problem for the moment. However, when I run another missing file check, it will again find these same files. I have attempted to reconnect them several times but PSE continues to tell me that they need to be reconnected but still knows where the files are.
    I have already run a database repair (no errors were found).
    I also ran a database optimization without issue.
    Some system information:
    Win7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
    Dell XPS i7 Computer
    6gb RAM. >350gb of free hard disk space
    PSE 12....but also had the same problem on PSE 11. I upgraded hoping that the problem would be solved. It wasn't.
    Thanks for any assistance in clearing this problem for me.
    -Bruce

    I solved my own problem...although I do not know what caused it nor why Adobe's program didn't fix it for me.
    The "missing" entries that were being highlighted were all duplicate entries. Adobe won't allow for a duplicate entry to the same physical file. I deleted all the offending entries and this cleared my problem. I hope this solution helps others.

  • Adobe workbench errors on checkin:  Asset already exists / file already exists

    Adobe workbench for Myserver checkin gives errors:  "Could not create the asset because the asset already exists" and/or "File already exists in global store with that name".  How does one fix this? 
    This seems to especially happen when I change login to workbench user/configuration/"mode" etc.

    If worst comes to worst:
    Save relevant directories in completely separate windows backup directory path.
    Remove all sub-folders from LC workbench (everything below the /1.0 leaf).
    Restore directories from backup path.
    This seems to ALWAYS work.

  • While installing ODC ,pixscan.mdb file already exist Warning

    Hi All..
    I have installed ODC but by mistake I have started it without initializing the database and hence it throws the error that database is not initialized ..So I have uninstalled it and once again installed it...While installing it throws one warning that pixscan.mdb file already exist,if I select no and installation continues and completed also..And again while starting the ODC it throws the error -failed to query ecparameter table and database is not initialized..
    I have also deleted the captovation directory from(HK_localuser) registry.i am also unable to find blackIce&captovation directory in HK_Local machine .
    Please tell me where I am lagging..Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you having DB issues, you can simply remove the following out of the registry (note 64bit operating system, else it should be this same path minus the Wow portion i believe):
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Captovation\eCapture\Imaging Systems\eCapture
    Removing this will then have ODC ask you to resetup your connections. Please make sure to reinitialize your DB (assuming this is a clean install), initialize DB should always be an enabled option. Make sure to chose the right one, oracle vs sql
    As for installing the client, you shouldnt have to reinstall if all your looking to do is modify the DB parameters, just follow the above. If you do wish to reinstall, i suggest either a repair (then performing the above step),
    if you wish to do a full remove, do it from Add/Remove. Once you've done so, as stated here many other times, remove the following folder \ProgramData\Oracle\DocumentCapture (again, ProgramData is a hidden folder, you can enable this by hitting 'alt' in a file explorer window, choosing tools..folderoptions..view..show hidden files and folders).

  • SharePoint Library - If I save file from Excel File Save As - then I always get "File already exists. Do you want to replace it?" - Upload works fine though.

    Hi there,
    In my SP 2010 document library - When I try to save an Excel file from File > Save As menu to the document library it always prompts me "File already exists. Do you want to replace it?" even though the file does not exist in that document library.
    To the same document library - if I upload a file then it accepts it all fine.
    Any clues why I cannot save files using File > Save As menu?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    As I understand, the notification pops up when you save an excel file to SharePoint library, while when directly upload file to library, there is no wrong.
    Please confirm if the issue occurs to other machines.
    Please open Microsoft Office Upload Center on the issue machine, then click settings, clear cache via checking Delete files from the Office Document Cache when they are closed.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/office-document-cache-settings-HA010388664.aspx
    If the issue occurs to client, I’d recommend you also ask the question in Excel forum:

  • Pop up saying File already exists when saving an excel file while running exe

    I have an excel file which I read and write in my application.
    When I run the application in development system, it works fine. However when I run the application as an exe and try to save the excel file, it says that 'The file already exists and Do you want to replace?'.
    Why does this question asked for exe?

    Hi Princess_swa,
    The problem may be that when you build an exe, it adds another folder called 'builds' into the filepath.
    A good way to fix this is to create a case structure, putting extra strip paths into your filepath if running an exe.
    I have attached a screenshot of my code doing exactly this for you to look at. The code creates a 'base path' which is then used to reference all of my file paths in my code - and therefore, they will always have the right number of strip paths when it is run. (Note: in my code I have 2 extra strip paths, due to where I've placed the folder, but one should be sufficient.)
    Also there is a 'Check if folder exists' VI which you can again link to a case structure, and change the filename if it already exists. Again, I have provided a screenshot of my code which does this.
    Hope this helps,
    Lou

  • Share: File already exists. It doesn't: Won't Replace

    FCPX 10.0.9 OSX 10.7.5
    Never had any trouble exporting before. 
    Share---- Export File----- (select location as the 1tb HD)- fcpx says file already exists, do you want to replace?  Hit Replace, and it just cycles the same error, until cancelled.
    Does this on every single fcpx project, even those that worked fine before.
    Share--- E-mail  ----- fcpx immediatley throws a quicktime -50 error. 
    Share ------ Export File (select loction as the desktop or any other folder) ---- fcpx give the quicktime -50 error.
    I don't think I've changed anything. 
    All saving works fine on all other programs that I use.
    I am trying to save to the internal drive in my macbook pro
    disk utilty says the drive is fine.
    You got me....?

    I did that and got rid of some of the early frame errors.  i was able to export a section of clips, but then it would never export past frame 7065 no matter what clip was holding that place (at least that is what I think).  Even then it only worked with master file exports.
    I was wrong about this.  Don't use it if you are troubleshooting your problem with this thread.
    What was happening is that there was a black frame at the end of the clips that were throwing errors.  I had to check the errors on that frame.  I don't konw if they are dead frames or simply black frames, but all of them had those bad frames in the original clips themselves (and as a result in the timeline if I had inserted the WHOLE clip, or at least any subclip including that last bad frame).  The only position they were was at the end of the clip. 
    The solution was to find the offending frame in the timeline and then cut it out.  IN my case there were 5 of them.
    Note: that the title does not reflect the problem.  That problem was that it didn't like where I was saving (not specificing a directory, not sure why it was allowing me to choose the destination as my HD, and gave a less than helpful error on that). 

  • Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

    Hi,
    I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
    for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
    and also receiver side   :  Yeswanth.txt
    but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
    Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
    File Construction Mode  :  Create

    and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.

    Hi Yeswanth
    Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
    You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
    Will this be fine.
