Library Problem/Question

My library file no longer has the aperture icon in it, it has been made into a folder with a .aplibrary extention.
Any ideas or help.?
Thanks

Right/control click on it and select "Get Info". Under "Name & Extension" there is a drop down list to select what application is to be used to open the file. Set it to Aperture. You can also check the box to hide the extension if you wish.

IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

5610 problems/questions

Okay, i have a 5610, firmware v9.4, and i have the foll problems/questions...
1) The calender and alarm systems sometimes refuse to work. In the calender, i put reminders, but often it never gives any alarm, even though i have set it to alert me at such-and-such time. The alarm too, simply doesn't work at times. any solutions?
2) On starting the phone, while updating the library, the phone temporarily gets hanged. After about 5 minutes, its back to normal, and the library is updated, but in those 5 mins i can't do anythinh. any solutions?
3)On connecting my cell to the comp, i usually use memory storage mode, to access the memory card in windows explorer, cuz its faster than pc suite. afer disconnecting, my phone often says "not enough memory on phone. update cancelled", referring to the music player library update. any solutions?
4)In menu>steeings>security>security level, what do the options do, i've not noticed any difference...

security level is to either set passwords for start up of phone ,keypad locks,lock code for phone this enable you to put a pin on the phone where if it was to get stolen the person would need a pin the activate the phone with another sim in it
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
Well I am having a few problems/questions:
---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around

The missing library problem.

I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
What I haven't tried
Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
What is happening:
So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
iT 1.tmp
iT 2.tmp
iT 3.tmp
iT 4.tmp
Temp file 1.tmp
Temp file 2. tmp
Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
My own personal opinion
Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
TL;DR:
Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 - Music library problems...

Hello,
Just bought a Nokia E5, looks to be a sweet phone so far...
Only, Ovi Suite is just annoying. Very slow on communicating with the phone (USB connection) and some big problems.
Impossible to delete music from the library ! How is that ?? And also the library takes ages to add a new folder.
Also, not seeing the playlist i've made on the phone ? Either on mass storage connection, in the playlist folder of the phone, nothing... But should be on a other threat.
Hope you can solve the library problem because it's quite annoying.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

@satari
Yeah, alright already!
We get that without you plastering this message over EVERY single thread dealing with issues of that truly useless and pathetic piece of software called Ovi-Suite.
Especially since the new version DOES NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND IN THE THREADS YOU MASS PASTED INTO!
Ovi-Suite 3.x still no longer syncs music, which IMHO is a basic function. Who on earth wants to be forced to manually update the phone playlists and songs whenever songs are added on the PC? That is beyond backwards.
Hello? It's 2011, not 1991.
Ovi Suite 3.x still randomly refuses to add songs to the library on the PC (e.g. it skips several songs from an album folder, yet they play fine when added to the phone manually outside Ovi-Suite), an issue that can only be corrected by deleting the entire library on the PC and recreating it. A "repair library" function is notoriously absent.
I'd like a so called Smartphone to make tasks easier and more comfortable instead of harder.
Newer Nokia handsets may be slightly less bad, but the N97 with Ovi-Suite is still the smartphone/desktop combo from hell.
The fruit phone/ITunes combo is sadly restricted by the greed and desire to control everything of Apple, but at least the products work reliably and consistently for the most part. The same is true for 'Droid devices.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
1. Now i have a library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

your serial number is for an upgrade version. you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

PLEASE report what you've already tried when posting problems/questions!

A lot of threads have a common theme:
(1) The first post describes a problem, or asks a question.
(2) The second (or third, or fourth) post suggests doing or trying something.
(3) The next response, from the original poster, says "Oh, I already tried that!"
Please, when describing a problem or asking a question, be reasonably detailed about the scenario, what you did, what results you got, WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED, etc.
Vague undetailed problems/questions, not describing the N steps you've already taken to try to resolve it, etc. just waste time and bandwidth all around!
Doug

Hi Doug;
If we are going to start of list of things NOT to do when posting a question, the one I always think is the absolute silliest is when they say I am having trouble with an application and never ever tell up what application they are talking about as if we have a crystal ball which is going to tell us what mythical application it is. Well it turns out generally my crystal ball is foggy just then so I have to ask what are you talking about here.

MSI 925XE BIOS 1.3 to 1.4 Upgrade problem/question

Hi,
Today I upgraded my board from BIOS 1.3 to 1.4 (successfully, *phew*). The BIOS page on the MSI site states that it fixes some problems, but nothing related to temperature sensors is mentioned:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=635&kind=1
Now the actual problem/question is that with BIOS v1.3 my full load temp was roughly 65 degrees celcius (3.4GHz LGA775 CPU). Now with v1.4 my full load temperature shows up as 47-48 degrees celcius.
This of course doesnt seem like a bad thing at first, lower temp = good, but I cant help but wonder whether the temperature was being inaccurately shown in 1.3, or whether it is being shown wrongly now with 1.4. A drop in full load temp of about 18 degrees celcius sure raises some questions.
If anyone knows anything about this, Id appreciate any feedback. Also if there is some kind of tech support email address that MSI has (I couldnt find one on the site), could you please pass it to me, thanks.
I didnt post my entire system specs because really all the other components are irrelevant, I didnt change the setup in any way other than the BIOS. If I needed to post some addition info, tell me what it is, and I will.
Thank you.

Sorry that I didnt reply for a while. Busy weekend. Anyways...
What kind of chassis cooling? When as I said the case is open right now cause Im still experimenting with everything, so really its like no chassis at all for now. What kind of fan do I use with the XP-120? Its a quiet fan, I cant seem to find the box. If Im not mistaken, its the green version of this:
http://www.thermaltake.com/dcfans/led/thunderblade120.htm
And finally... Yes of course I was able to fit the XP120 on the motherboard, how else would I be running the comp hehe? BTW, I wouldnt necessarily recommend it to others though, the installation was very problematic. But still, its possible.

Library problem and question.

I'm sure that if I could check through the whole of the topic list and read all of the threads that seem to be relevant, I might find the answer,but I don't have enough time, and I don't know how to compose a search that would find me the answers I need accurately enough. I have two matters I need help with.
(1) When the betas of LightRoom came out, I thought I would give it a try as it seemed to do what I wanted in terms of importing my photos and maintaining a database. Fundamentally it does, but as a result of the experimentation I did, things are a little confused in terms of the library.
I'm using a MacBook Pro with an external desktop HD, and I have recently bought a 120GB "pocket" HD. I am now shooting in RAW all the time, but some of the photos in the library are JPGs from my previous camera. My plan is to use the pocket drive to store the photos on, with a back-up on the desktop external. What I am currently doing is using DNG Converter to pull them off the card and save them on the pocket drive. Then I import the DNGs into LightRoom and organise them in collections. However, I also have many many JPGs from my previous camera which I would like to import. They are rather scattered in terms of where they are located.
The Library is currently the one that I set up when originally trialling the beta; it is on the HD of the MacBook Pro, backed up to the desktop HD, but there is another library on that HD that I set up while experimenting which contains other photos which I need to bring into a single library. I really feel I need to redo it completely starting again from scratch so that I can bring everything together in a better organised manner. What would be the best way to do that? And what is the best location for the library database?
(2) The last time I imported some photos -- having done the DNG conversion and saved them to the pocket drive -- I then dragged them in batches to appropriate collection folders. However, for some of them, they do not appear in the folder I dragged them to, nor in any of the others ... they only appear in the overall "Library: all photographs" and "Library: Previous import". How can I retrieve them so that I can put them in the appropriate collection folder so that I can include them in the gallery based on that? The original DNGs are still in the folder on the pocket drive.
Sorry, this has been long and rambling, but I would really appreciate any help and advice.

Thanks for the reply Sean. <It sounds like you expect to be able to drag images from Previous Import into a folder. > I fear that is what I may have tried to do with these particular photos the first time when they got lost, but it is not what I normally do. I have a folder on the pocket drive called DNGs. Within this are a number of sub-folders for different sets of photos, Xiada, Longyan, Wuyishan, etc. When I use DNG Converter to take the RAW images off the card I have it put them in the main DNG folder, because for instance there may be some photos of flowers among them that I want eventually to go in the Flora sub-folder and photos of buildings that I want to go in the Xiada folder, even though all the photos were actually taken on the Xiada campus. When I import them into LR, they are found in a folder in the left pane of LR called DNGs. From there I drag them into the appropriate sub-folders, each time getting an alert about moving the photos on the disk. As I say, with the 9 photos in question, thinking back I may have dragged them from the "Previous Import". The result is that although the DNGs in question are invisible within LR, even though I deleted them rather than removed them, and I have gone through the whole process starting from getting them off the card again using DNG Converter, and they are now visible in the DNG folder in LR, when I drag them from there to the folder I want them in, LR issues an alert that "A file named P1000xxx.dng already exists at the destination" and doesn't move it, even though that photo is not visible. Again, as I said, on my desktop external drive, there is a parallel folder structure to the one on the pocket drive, and looking at the relevant folder using the finder, photos of those names are in that. I can delete them using the finder, but am worried that if I do so, the LR database will be corrupted. On the other hand, as they are there, but LR doesn't show them in the library, perhaps it is only the system that knows they are there and not LR, so deleting them will not affect the library. I guess the thing to do is to export all the photos in the library to a new location as DNGs with the metadata to XMPs, ready to redo the whole library set up from scratch fortunately I am only dealing with a few hundred photos, not thousands or tens of thousands and then try deleting them. If the current library is corrupted, then I can make a new one I was going to wait until 1.1 and do that anyway and if it doesn't then I should be able to do the move into the folders without problem. Also thinking round this, I should perhaps be using collections rather than folders anyway, so I must explore that for future reference. Mark in China

IPhoto '08 to iPhoto '11 Upgrade PROBLEM & Questions

Despite all the negative reviews at the App Store about iPhoto '11, I decided upgrade from iPhoto '08 so I could conveniently upload photos to FaceBook from iPhoto. (The FaceBook Uploader for iPhoto never worked for me.) I thought the ratio of negative reviews were unbalanced because people who are satisfied with the product have less motivation to write a review. Maybe I was wrong.
My problem:
I only bought iPhoto '11, not the iLife package, from the App Store. When I first opened iPhoto '11, I was warned that my library would no longer be readable by earlier iPhoto versions. No problem, I expected that. As I had somewhat over 15,000 photos in my iPhoto '08 Library, I was also notified that that it would take an hour or longer to rewrite the library. No problem, I expected that too. iPhoto first read my old library, then started rewriting. When the rewriting progress bar was just past halfway, iPhoto '11 suddenly quit and sent an "iPhoto Problem Report" to Apple. This has happened about 5 times now, both before and after restarting my computer. It might seem related to free disk space, but I just put in a new 750Gb hard drive with over 400Gb free. All my other specs also meet or exceed iLife's requirements.
My Questions:
1. Can anyone suggest what they think the problem is and how to proceed? I couldn't find a similar problem in the Apple Support Community.
2. If I can't upgrade, how do I go back to iPhoto '08? I backed up everything to an external drive using Time Machine before trying to upgrade. I know there's a iPhoto Library file in Pictures but there's also another file somewhere that contains the data for titles, events, comments and edits. How do I find it and how do I restore them to my MacBook?
3. Can I get my $14.95 back from Apple? I don't see a way to talk to Apple without costing me more than the $14.95
Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

What's happening is that some file (or files) in the Library are damaged in some wy and that's tripping up the upgrade. This file (or files) may not necessarily be photos but could be one of the background database files. Unfortunately there's not any real way of knowing.
Any time you upgrade or update an app or the OS you run the risk of exposing a problem that has bee hidden heretofore. That's why you make back ups.
Possible solution: Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Reverting means restoring your Librry from Time Machine and re-installing 08. It's not a big thing to do.
Contact App Store support about a refund. There's an email link on the right hand side of the app store window.

Library problems with two XP user accounts accessing music in shared folder

I'm sorry if this has already been answered; I have not been able to find the answer. My wife and I each have a different user account on the same Windows XP machine. I recently combined our iTunes libraries into the shared folder on the computer. I correctly pointed iTunes (in each of our accounts) to the correct location for the music files. I did an "Add Folder to Library" to make sure each account had all of the music. When I did this, I got duplicate listings of all of the songs that also had exclamation points. When I did a "Get Info" on these songs, I found that each song was correctly pointed to the correct file location. I laboriously deleted each "exclamation point" song one at a time (in each account). Now the problem I have is that whenever my wife or I close iTunes and the other person opens iTunes in their XP user account, none of the songs can be found. The best way I've been able to resolve this is to (unfortunately) delete the entire library, and do an "Add Folder To Library" to find all of the song locations and include all of the songs back into the library. Surely this can't be how this is supposed to work.
So, my questions are:
- Do I need to add new albums / songs one at a time to avoid duplicates (rather than use the "Add Folder" for the entire iTunes music folder again)?
- How do I setup iTunes so that my wife and I can each go into iTunes in our seperate XP accounts and have all of our songs right where we left them (WITHOUT having to delete the entire libary and "add" again.)
FYI: I'm using the latest version of iTunes and (again) I'm using Windows XP.
My wife and I really want to each get a new iPod Nano, but if I can't trust iTunes... forget it.
THANKS!!!

I have this setup at working. Two accounts with all files stored on a shared folder, mine is a network drive. Each account has its own library and can access all files. We also use one iTunes account for rare purchases.
This is how did initial setup:
Make a folder in the shared folder. I called mine itunes.
This is where iTunes stores its files.
With second account point iTunes at shared folder.
Import the folder you created earlier.
This worked for me without duplications. The only complication is that when importing from CD with one account the other doesn't know it. The other account must do import on the folder for the CD just imported. We keep track of this with a spreadsheet updated to show which account has which CD files.

Upgrading my Computer and have a corrupt library problem...

I am upgrading my Macbook Pro, which is almost 2 years old, to a newer model. I am currently using Aperture 1 but will have Aperture 2 on my next computer.
Now my current problem is a corruption in my library that causes Aperture to crash every time I restart it. The only way I have found around this is to delete the aperture.aplib file and rebuild my library every time I have to restart.
Obviously when I get my new laptop I plan on transferring all my files over to it. The question is, should I just risk it and see if upgrading the library to Aperture 2 on a new computer fixes my problem, or is there some way I could troubleshoot the problem before my new computer arrives. I've tried to locate the corrupted files with no luck and I've restored the library maybe 30 times by now.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

I'd try making a second Library, then systematically exporting each Project form the old Library to the new one. This should at least diagnose which Project may be causing problems.
Obviously, you're going to need plenty of free HD space...

Library problem with Oracle 10

I am installing Oracle 10 on Linux (CentOS)
I'm in the process of installing Oracle on the screen of the wizard "Setup Wizard", while trying to install the tool Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, this is canceled, and to review the log that is the problem:
UnsatisfiedLinkError exception loading native library: njni10
Where should I install this library that I need, and if not too much trouble, from where I can get it?.
Thank you very much.

Friend, please answer:
Answering your question, the system is CentOS 5.3, and 64 bit architecture.
Sorry I uploaded the last consultation, the problem was that I still need to download a package, in the preparation stage of the system.
The package was missing:
glibc-devel for i386.
When you install this package addresses the issue.
Leave a link where I found this solution:
http://www.brucalipto.org/linux/how-to-install-oracle-client-10g-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux-5-64bit
Thank you very much for your help friend.
Thanks to this forum can finally install Oracle 10 on CentOS 5.3

[SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
$ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
libxul.so => not found
libxpcom.so => not found
libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.

I have solved my problem and I will post my solution because it can be usefull to others.
First the problem with flashplugin and GTK library path. Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
case "$wrapper" in
*ia32*)
export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
esac
In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.
