...link files no longer point to an original file and therefore cannot be
repaired. This is, what DiskWarrior says about one HD of mine. How it happened, no clue, didn't do anything unusual. Now after reinstalling the system on this HD (somebody in a different discussion helped me to localize that BaseSystem.pkg in the Receipts Folder was empty) DiskWarrior still says the same. Have problems to connect to the internet from this disc and get the updates from 10.3 to 10.3.9. Safari doesn't work right.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

A link file is a file that points to another file, kind of like an alias, except the link file points to a certain location whereas an alias will follow a file around. Although some links are important it is also possible it isn't and since the files have been moved around the links are broken. Somebody else may correct me but I'm guessing you can't repair those unless you know the files to which they were pointing. This would probably be something the OS or an applications set up rather than you so you can't really do it yourself (easily). The actually link files themselves are not critical but maybe what they do is.

I have bookmarks and notes that are no longer attached to the original page and I can't find a way to delete them. Could someone help me purge these things so they are not in the way?
James Ward4 Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes. Thanks again.

Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied
I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
= Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
= Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
= Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything! -
I just updated my iphone4, it reset to original settings and I cannot get it passed my birtday. It says ther was a problem connecting to the server. how do I get passed this?
I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck. -
I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks
If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

What's wrong? 'Original document is in OLTP and therefore cannot be ...'
Dear Superman,
When I opened a service order and edited it, I got this message: 'Original document is in OLTP and therefore cannot be changed in CRM.'
The system status includes 'Document from OLTP'.
If I want to edit it, what should I do?
Edited by: Jie Chen on May 19, 2010 4:59 PMHi ,
The Scenario for replication of the documents is set as 'X' or else you can check note 541113 and by standard you cannot edit a document whose source is r/3.
But there is an workaround available which is as below:
In order to make it editable, you need to change the logical system of the Document in CRMD_ORDERADM_H, CRMD_ORDERADM_I and CRMD_ORDER_INDEX tables, same as CRM system in debugging mode.

Linked files and underlined text confusion
I'm running into some unexplained and strange behaviors in a simple Web page I just put up. The URL is http://www.elliottbaypipeband.com/Chunes/EBPBMusic/2011Music.html
Problem 1:
I've linked PDF files to text that describes the tune names. These links work fine. I've also linked "EP3" files to the little note icon that precedes the tune name. These links don't work. The different browsers report the linked file isn't found.
Problem 2:
There are four text containers on the page. The first line of text in the first one "Tunes of Glory", is displayed correctly without any underlining. The first line of text in the other three "Concert Music", "Competition Music", and "Legend" are all underlined. Similarly, all of the text in the Legend text container are underlined when viewed in a browser. Only the Comments one should be as it is linked to an email address.
I can't figure out these problems. Any ideas from the experts?
ThanksI think I have sorted out these problems.
The EP3 linked file problem was a a file type not explicitly allowed on the Web server I was using. I can fix that.
I worked-around the odd font underlining by using a subtle shadow setting. Now the page looks like I want it to at lease in Safari. It seems that there are a number of quirks like this in iWeb. That's a little disappointing but certainly not a show stopper and not surprising. Software always has quirks. -
Link files and directories in e-mails
This has probably been asked before, but I cannot seem to find an answer out there...
We are a small company that keep all our project files on a shared server. Now I would like to be able to send an e-mail to someone within our company including a link to a specific file and/or directory on the server, without actually including the file as an attachment.
I.e.: Directory: /server/projects/wings/
File: /server/projects/wings/estimate.doc
When the recipient of the e-mail clicks the above links the [wings] folder and estiamte.doc file opens automatically.
What is the correct way of writing the link?
Have tried afp://XXXXXX
file://XXXXXX
but nothing seems to work...
(It would also be nice to be able to use these links in iCal.)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!> file://XXXXXX
If this is an absolute path, the ‘/’ at the beginning is missing, i.e. an additional ‘/’ is needed. It should be:
file:///XXXXXX
Actually, the example you gave should be (note ‘/Volumes’ at the beginning):
file:///Volumes/server/projects/wings/estimate.doc -
I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
ThanksThank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer. -
PS elements saves pic as a blank file and I cannot open it
Hey guys, I'm hoping you can help me.
I am using Photoshop Elements 8 and I'm not sure what happened (or what I did), but suddenly the files I save (save-as, i rename retouched files) started saving as blank thumbnails. I cannot open them, and the properties list the type of file as "File" (although I was saving them .jpeg).
Also, the size of the blank thumbnails is about the same as the original picture (a little larger cause it's retouched; which is normal).
The file still saves as a blank if I change the name and if I try changing the format (.bmp, .jpeg., etc)
I'm using Windows Vista, if it matters.
I'm attaching a screencap of what it looks like in the folder and the file properties that come up
Let me know if I should provide any other information and I'd appreciate any and all help. This is the only PS I have access to right now and it's painful to have folders of pics and not be able to do anything with them.
Thanks in advance =)It looks like like windows got confused because you have periods in the file names.
If you take one of your saved files and add a .jpg at the end elements should open the file.
It's probably a good idea not to use periods in file names except for the file extension.
Using an underscore instead of periods is a better way to go.
It also seems that in later versions of elements and photoshop one has to be careful about using periods in the file names or the program won't save the files right
which was not the case in old versions of elements and photoshop.
The trick to saving a remamed file with periods is to reselect jpg from the dropdown after renaming the file so the proper extension is added.
That being said i've avoided using periods in file names for many years just to avoid any possible problems. -
Photo cd contains only "alias" files and I cannot find my images....
A few months ago, I burned a few photo cds. I created these by dragging the files from my camera's memory card to the cd folder and then burned them. I thought I was being careful and checked each cd after it was complete to confirm the photos were all there. At the time all looked fine. I then erased the camera memory card to create more usable space. Now those same cds only contain alias files and my images cannot be located in any files or folders. Can I recover or did I make a mistake with something that used to be so simple?? Thank you for any suggestions and help with this.
Your cd's only had aliases burned to them. When you checked the contents of a burned CD the memory card would have been still mounted, so the aliases automatically found the original files and opened them. This will only work if the memory card with the original photos is mounted.
The correct procedure is to create a Burn Folder. (File / New Burn folder). With the memory card connected, drag the photos to the Burn folder. You can rename the folder, say Photos. When you are ready to burn, go to File menu and and you will see the option: Burn Photos to Disk.
After the burn, you can trash the Burn folder, or reuse it.
In fact the Burn folder also contains just aliases, but when you burn, the original items are found and burned to the CD.
p.s. To copy the actual files (rather than aliases) from the memory card you have to hold the Option key down when you drag and drop. -
Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 7/28/10You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

Linked files and working with a team
We are using InDesign in a team environment where the INDD files get worked on by several different people. The projects are organized within a single folder
/project/this-project.indd
/project/images_envirnoments/
/project/images_people/
/project/PSD/
etc
Obviously when we move the /project folder to someone else's machine they have to re-link at least once for each folder that contains a set of images. Is there a way to get around this? I searched the forums and found reference to and InDesign Server but can't find it as a product anywhere. Seems odd that there is no solution for collaboration with InDesign? Using latest CC of InDesign in mixed Mac/PC environemnt.Yeah, I saw this response in the forums when others had asked a similar question. However, those inquiries where a few versions of INDD ago and I thought there might now be a solution. I'll assume there is not.
Not everyone can connect to the server when working remotely. CC doesn't allow you to share project files on their share and DrobBox-like solutions don't have nearly enough space for our projects. -
I restarted my macbook today and when I signed back in, it was completely messed up. There are question marks in the dock and nothing is loaded that is suppose to be there (my photos, files, music, etc). Is my computer junked or what happened? I am a teacher and it is property of the school so I am not sure what I can do. Please help!!!
? in the Dock is not something tragic, as these are links, not the originals. First of all, determine if anything is missing in the original locations: apps must be in Applications folder (or in any other folder you may have added), files in Documents or where you put them etc. You may remove those ?’s by dragging them up from the Dock. If all original files are there, you have not lost anything, it is just a strage behavior of the system. This is strange and difficult to reproduce, so you must give some details, if need be.
Once an app is started, it automatically adds its icon to the Dock, right click on it, then choose Keep in Dock. You must repeat them with all apps you wish to have there. Alternatively, you may simply drag their icon to the Dock, and a link will be added, even if they are not active. -
My computer crashed and I lost my photos, but had a backup of my music. How can I open the database file to transfer the pics back to my computer? Help please.
You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.
