IWork 08 Pages "The media file can't be used because it's corrupt"
I am creating a school Yearbook - lots of photos. Pages has been running really slowly and to add to my problems when I reopened my pages document, most of the pictures on the pages I worked on have been replaced by grey blocks with a question mark in it. I am not able to replace the grey blocks with the pictures that used to be in there as it gives me the error message "The media file can’t be used because it’s corrupt". However, the photos work perfectly well in other Pages documents and other programs such as preview, word and so on...
I am finding the whole experience of working on Pages very demoralizing. Any help out there?
Hi naglechocolate
Welcome to the forum.
Pages is far from a professional DTP program and when you get down to some real world tasks does show more than a few rough edges.
I suspect you may have just pushed it too hard.
As Yvan says it includes the whole image in the document, unlike most DTP programs which work with links. So I would concentrate on not making those images too large.
With a school yearbook, the photos are usually one or 2 standard sizes and need to be printed at a finished resolution of 300dpi, so you can crop and size them before you import them to be most efficient.
*Preview .app* will do this for you for free but there are also 3rd part utilities that can make a much a set workflow out of this often tedious process.

The Folder Name Can't Be Used Because It's Reserved By The System.
I have been unable to rename folders and continually get the finder error message: "The Name (_____) Can't Be Used Because It's Reserved By The System."
I have tried several different combinations and it is not a matter of impermissible characters or repeated name. As far as I can tell the permissions have remained the same and nothing was knowingly altered on the computer. I have tried saving to the desktop and shared network and get the same results.
Any assistance that can be provided will be much appreciated.So, the system will not let you rename any folder?
Did you reboot your computer?
how about a safe boot?
Has this problem started recently? Might want to run disk repair and fix permissions.
I suggest you backup all your data. I am thinking disk corruption.
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
a) verify the disk
b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
is being checked.

I get the following message when I try to place a movie into my movie page in iWeb. "The image file can't be used because you don't have access priviledges or because it has no content or is corupted". I am using small 30 sec clips that I've imported into iPhoto from my digital camera. They are AVI files. I've place them before with no problem, this is new.
Any idea what's wrong and what I can do?
Dual 450 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)So it sounds like something about your iWeb installation got munged. Something used to work, but now it doesn't work anymore. So it must work somehow. Here are the suggestions that I give to people with these sorts of varied and nonspecific issues with iWeb. So without further ado...
1. Delete iWeb preference file at: YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at: YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.plist"
3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk Utility
4. Reboot machine
5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some kind of positive results from people having similar problems. I know that you have already tried a couple things here, but heck, what do you have to lose? For the record, I doubt that it is your Canon camera. -
Only sequences, where are the media files?
I recieved a project that has only sequences in the browser, but in the seqences, the edited clips are there. Where are the media files? I'm used to having the media files in my browser with my sequences. Since I have sequences but no media files, I'm not sure where the media is that the clips (in the timeline)are pointing to. I know where my source files (QT) are. just not sure where the media files that represent that
If you are working from the same volume as the original projects, or at least a volume with the same name and folder structure then you are fine. If you want, you can select all the medial files in the sequences and drag them to the browser if it helps you to see what you have. Personally, I think if you are not changing any of those sequenced you're just as well to leave it as it is. Are you seeing video when you play those SD sequences? If yes then they are already pointing to the original media. FCP doesn't create its own media unless you render, and even then, it still uses the original in that process. So if you can see the video, you're all set. It's when you see those white clips in the timeline that you have to worry.

I get the error message "The media can’t be used because you don’t have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt." when I drag photos (or copy and paste photos) from iPhoto to Pages/Word.
It never used to do this and is really quite annoying, as I now have to find the file through finder to drag from there.
I had to rebuild the iPhoto library a few days ago, is it something to do with this?
Thanks in advance.Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -
I am receiving the message "Media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt." In the recent past, I have been able to drag photos from iPhoto into Pages or Text Edit. I can drag photos from some photo events, but not from the photos I have recently used in a DVD project. I did drag photos from Pintrest into my iPhoto to use in the DVD project, but didn't see copyright info attached to any of those. Could this be the problem?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't then you need to repair your original library by applying the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.

Problem in accessing the media files from another server
Currently I am working in a project with streaming video on demand and using FMS 4.5.
Let’s say the FMS is installed on one machine say ‘121.123.35.34’ and there is another server ‘100.54.88.222’ where all the media files belong. Now we need to point to this third server to play videos from FMS.I have done the below changes:
In the fms.ini file: set the VOD_DIR2 = \\100.54.88.222\myvideos
In the application.xml: Added the stream: <Streams>/hr;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>
From my application accessing the path of flv as:source= “rtmp:// 121.123.35.34:1935/vod/hr/test” . Not able to access the video.
Note: If I will point to say ‘C:hrvideos’ in VOD_DIR2, then I am able to access the videos using the same URL.
I also tried mapping the shared path to the FMS machine and then given the mapped drive path in the VOD_DIR2, but this also doesn’t work.
Please let me know:
If we need to configure any other parameter to stream videos from another server.
VOD_COMMON_DIR: I modified this similar TO VOD_DIR to location 'C:hrvideos', I am able to stream the videos using rtmp, but not abl eto stream with http.
Please let me know can we stream using http also as we need this to run f4m manifest file.
http://121.123.35.34:8134/vod/hr/sample.mp4.
http://121.123.35.34:8134/vod/hr/sample.f4m
Thanks,
AnjaliHi Shiven,
I followed the steps suggested by you:
1) Changed the stream:
<Streams>/hr;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams> to<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>
But not able to access the video with rtmp:// 121.123.35.34:1935/vod/test
2) For http streaming, changes the HttpStreamingContentPath in hds-vod in the httpd config file, and tried to stream the video like:
http:// 121.123.35.34:8134/vod/test.mp4 or
http:// 121.123.35.34:8134/hds-vod/test.mp4
But not able to load the video.
Please suggest?
Thanks & Regards,

I'm trying to put a graphic over an object, but I keep getting this error message; The media file seems to have an invalid entry in the catalog, please rename it for use.
Lonesomeless
Thanks for the reply.
I checked the link that I posted back in post 3 of your thread. It is working with at least Firefox and Chrome.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Motion Tracking/What To Use To Track Object?
What browser are you using?
The blog post contains significant information related to Premiere Elements 12 Motion Tracking. But, if you cannot access it for some reason, then we will need to troubleshoot via communications in the thread.
SG has asked if you are able to create Motion Tracking effect using one of the graphics included with the program. We will watch for your response to him on that question. Please include in your message to him whether you can obtain your file to track the object using Organizer Tab or Project Assets routes as well as Graphics Tab.
The following is an excerpt from the blog post referenced....
SOLUTION
Various tutorials and online comments have pointed to places other than Graphics Tab where objects can be selected and used to track the moving object in the video when the Motion Tracking workspace is opened in the Expert or Quick workspace.
Organizer Tab, Expert or Quick workspace to access Elements Organizer 12. Cascade Windows and drag a video or photo from Elements Organizer into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
Project Assets, Expert workspace. Drag text, video, or photos from opened Project Assets into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
Graphics Tab, Expert or Quick workspace. Create a png file (graphic) or prtl file (text) and place it in Clip Arts in the Program Files of the program to have a permanent resource. Then from Graphics Tab, drag the newly created graphic or text object into yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
Thanks.

i've upgraded to IOS5 and also my iMac to latest iTunes.
i now found Itunes frequently issued a error during syncing "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found". i have connected the iphone4 to my iMac using USB (i.e., wired). but without doing any thing further, i go to iTunes and just hit the button to "SYNC" the iphone4 again, it will work.
so, why am i getting that error usually first time around when i connect the iphone?Hi folks. Am REALLY struggling here and hoping for some help. I too am constantly getting the 'iPhone can not be synced' message since upgrading to a new MacBook and trying to sync my iPhone 3GS. Have tried updating to latest iPhone software and hasn't helped. Have tried all the stuff mentioned above (dumping that file etc) and no luck. When I go to my sync page for photos, even if i un-tick the sync photos option altogether, this error keeps appearing. Very odd and very frustrating. Can't sync - seems to stall at last step of the process every time.
I'm guessing it is photo related as the pics on my iPhone are now all lowres and blurry, and it is asking for sync to iTunes to get high res images onto the phone.
Also have problem going the 'other way'! WHen I go to iPhoto on Mac and try to download new photos taken on iPhone.. I keep getting the message 'The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format."
help please

help
Changing the setting as to where to store media will indeed put the media files (but not the rest of the iTunes library files) on the external drive as long as the user also selects to organize the media to the NAS. If you don't do that, iTunes will only store new media there from that time on.
I would not recommend keeping only media on the NAS. As I said, NAS can have issues with iTunes and some of the longest topics I have seen here are how to rebuild a library after for some reason the library file on the Mac computer has lost the link information to the media files stored on a NAS. Some things such as date added, play count, and ratings are only stored in the library file and may be lost if you have to rebuild your library file.
I guess for me the only iTunes reason for having a NAS would be to do direct sharing of the library rather than having to use Home Sharing. Direct sharing of the library intact requires placing all the iTunes files on the NAS. If you're going to do Home Sharing you might as well opt for a a cheaper, more stable, plain external hard drive. -
How the media files are stored in Oracle 10g database
I guess they have introduced new datatypes to handle multimedia objects( audio file, video file, images, etc etc). Can anyone tell which is the data type which is used to handle the media files in Oracle 10g database.
