Llvm-nm: FILE_NAME.c.o - Unrecognized File Type : Cannot find Linker Input

Hi All,
Having an issue with linking here... I've attached a screenshot that says it all.
I'm sure someone else has ran into this... any help would be much appreciated.

I wonder if you're experiencing what I am on the Mac....
You wouldn't happen to have a 64-bit install of gcc and tools under cygwin, would you?

Can't import pictures I once could Unrecognized file type

I recently had to reinstall some system software because my computer wouldn't reboot. When I opened up iPhoto 5 nothing was there. I went to a back up and imported the latest Librarty. When I went to import the rest of the photos I got this error message... "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain vallid data)." All my pictures are the same file type and size and come from the same camera. They all open in the Preview application.

Diane
Are they in the iPhoto Library Folder? Because iPhoto wont import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder - a precaution against duplication. Drag them to the desktop and try again.

Photo will not upload my pictures from the same camera that always worked in IPhoto. Says "could not be imported (may be unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data). So how do I do it?

Photo will not upload new photos from same camera that always worked in IPhoto. Says "could not be uploaded )may be unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data). Help!

Try image capture or a card reader - after the photos are safely on your Mac then use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card

"Unrecognized file type" message

After importing numerous batches of photos from my camera I discovered the weird, randomly named folders iPhoto had put them into and tried to rearrange them. After discovering the mess I'd made I threw out the existing iPhoto database and preferences and tried to start over. Somewhere in there I got a prompt to update iPhoto (from what older version I can't remember), which I OK'd; it took about half an hour to "convert" to iPhoto 4.0.3. Now I can't import any photos at all: I get the "unrecognized file type" message even though I don't have any trouble opening any pictures in Preview or Photoshop. I've tried both the Import menu and dragging photos from the Finder.
Please help.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPhoto 4.0.3

Here is the simple answers first.
1. You made the most common mistake with iPhoto You tampered with the database trying to change all those weird folders. You can't do that. More on this later.
2. When you get that unrecognizable message your are probably trying to import something that was already in the database. Can't do that either.
Read what follows first and then we can get you back up and working.
iPhoto Terms
iPhoto
The application is designed to do EVERYTHING working in the application with the options available in the window and menus. Basically, once a photo has been imported into iPhoto (file copied to the database) that file is available only through the application. To use it some place else (that is not an iPhoto option) - export, or drag it from the window.
Photo Library
Note: that is "Photo Library", not "iPhoto Library". This is the option you see in the source window to display all the photos imported into iPhoto.
iPhoto Library (Folder)
To avoid grief please read this carefully!. The iPhoto Library is a folder that iPhoto creates and by default puts in your user Pictures Folder. This folder is the database where iPhoto actually stores everything you have done in the application. iPhoto keeps this folder in a special way, with special files, folders and subfolders.
Leave this folder alone. Don't add, delete or change anything in this folder. If you do - the database can collapse like a house of cards. Don't browse through it with other applications, like email, one slip can mean disaster.
iPhoto can work with several databases - iPhoto Library folders - but can only open and work with one at a time. These folders can be renamed and stored anywhere - as long as iPhoto knows the name and location - and is directed to open with the folder you select. If you want to move or backup the iPhoto Library folder - you must work with the ENTIRE folder. Don't try to move or backup pieces of the folder.

Unrecognized file type

There's a few posts on this topic but no conclusive answers.
When I try to import into iPhoto 08 i get the following message -
"The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type of the files may not contain valid data).
I copied the photos to my desktop andtried again but same results.
The jpg's are find and FINDER can view them. There wasr no problem last week but now??
As an example the address of the files shown in the dialog box reads as follows -
/private/var/folders/zz/ZZy5x7B9EI8VU0rHf5s-Lk+TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/P1020462.jpg.
There was also an upgrade from Apple I believe earlier this week?? - thanks.

Have you run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions on your HD? You might also try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. It will be recreated when you launch iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Having problems emailing with iPhoto 9.2.1 on all my devices. Photos either do mot arrive or arrive as an unrecognized file type, or sometimes go straight through. Apple support has been unable to resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Photos either do not arrive at all or arrive as an unrecognized file type, or sometimes go straight through. Apple support has been unable to resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I am experiencing this on all my devices -- MacBookAir, iMac, both running most current version of Lion; iPad v1.0; and iPhone 4S

If you can not send from any of these devices then it has to be your e-mail service - the e-mail clients for OS X and for IOS 5 are totally different - the only common thread between all of these devices is your e-mail service

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file

I found the file but when I added it to the list for the Data Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

Unable to save xls file from website in the "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet" format. The browser is saving in unrecognized "File" Type

The version I am using is 3.6.11
The file is stored in the server in the format "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet"
But when I download it, it gets saved in the unrecognized format type "File"
The servlet code written to download the file sets the content type to "application/vnd.ms-excel"
I am able to save the file in Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet format using Internet Explorer Browser without any issues.
But it does not work with the Mozilla Firefox. Any plug-in needed to make it work?

Did you try to add the .xls file extension yourself to those files?

Searching for source in unrecognized file types

Using DW CS5, I'm unable to find text while searching that is in some of my files. I think this might be because these files are not recognized as source code by Dreamweaver. They are PHP files but they have the extension .ctp instead (because they are Cake files).
Is there any way to get Dreamweaver to consider these files when searching? I have already specified that Dreamweaver should be used to edit these files in Preferences -> File Types / Editors.
Thanks,
Stephen

PSE 6 with Raw 4.4.1 plugin, unrecognized file type

Mac OS X 10.5.2, Photoshop Elements 6. Downloaded / ran Camera_Raw_4_4_1.dmg and put Camera Raw.Plugin in root\lib\Application Support\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\. When I try and open a *.CR2 image, I get "... does not recognize this file type", but when I select <Photoshop Elements, About plug-in, Camera Raw...> it recognizes version 4.4.1. Same result using Bridge. Within PSE, If I select <File, Open> with All Documents Enabled / Photoshop Raw Format, *.CR2 opens as a dot pattern. Camera Raw Format I get "... file-format module cannot parse the file". I'm lost. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks,

Good call, the file was toast. I'd used Image Capture (resident with OS) rather then the EOS Utility to download images. Using software that came with the camera everything works fine. Really appreciate your help.

PREVIEWS for unrecognized FILE TYPES?

i have some .rvb files that can be opened in TEXTWRANGLER and which come from a windows based 3D software program. These open as TEXT and I am finding that I /sometimes/ see the TEXT previews for these files and I sometimes don't see the previews for these files. When I don't see the previews I just see a blank page without the text.
this does not /appear/ to be related to whether the file has been opened recently and it appears to change visibility when I /move/ the files to a new folder (in this case the previews went away).
i also notice that the icon is sometimes correct and sometimes just blank.
can anyone help me troubleshoot this a little so i understand how to keep the previews as this is invaluable for my editing workflow.
thanks.

When you say "TEXT previews", do you mean Quick Look?
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14119.html>
If so, QL deals with files based on type code, file name extension, or UTI. If your .rvb files come from Win, then they have neither the former, nor the latter, and the name extension is not declared by any app, so QL doesn't know what to do with them. Here's what you can try:
(1) Set the default app to open these files to TextWrangler in the usual way. This might or might not work, I'm not sure.
(2) Use RCDefaultApp to associate .rvb files with TW. Again, this might or might not work, I'm not sure.
(3) Use the following AppleScript to create a droplet (save it in AppleScript Editor as an app).
--script begins
(* We use "name contains" instead of "name extension is" because the latter doesn't seem to work reliably. *)
on open theFiles
 tell application "Finder"
 repeat with i in theFiles
 if name of i contains ".rvb" then
 set file type of i to "TEXT"
 end if
 end repeat
 end tell
end open
--script ends
The type code "TEXT" will be assigned to any Finder item dropped on it which contains the string ".rvb" in its name. This should work.
(4) Edit TextWrangler's UTI type declaration to add .rvb. The issue is described here
<http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071028184428583>
(Scroll and look at the hint about Coda—it applies to your problem, mutatis mutandis.)
(5) Use extended attributes, as described in here
<http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100112100027790>
Methods (1) and (2) may or may not work, I'm not sure. But it's easy to try them out.
Methods (3), (4), and (5) will definitely work. But you may find (4) and (5) a little too complicated.

How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

Renameing files - iTunes cannot find files?

I recently got a new computer and forgot to send all of the music on my old one to this one - so i imported them from my iPod. When it imported them, it gave them file names such as "APKF" and "NXVX", so if i delete and file and then want it back - i have to go through all of the files until i find the one i'm looking for. A simple solution to this would be to rename the files with their correct artist name and song,... but when i do this iTunes cannot find the files when i go to play the songs ... it also does this if i simply just move a song from one folder to another ... help?
Thank you!!!

I'm gonna keep them as their original four letter name and then just create a key in Notepad were it links the artist to the song by that four letter name. And them inport them one by one and enter their keys into a notepad...
It'll take a long time, but after i do it this one time i can just add and delete songs from the notepad.
like this:
Cage the Elephant:
Back Against the Wall: WTHK
Ain't no rest for the wicked: TYRE
thank you soooo much for your help, but i'm a neat freak so i'm gonna do this. you don't know of somekind of software were you can save some kind of data? like a non-trial version of Windows Office Excel?

TS4036 i restored from my iCloud and now all my photos in my camera roll are all fuzzy and are an unrecognized file type. does anyone know what to do about this?

i restored from my icloud and now all my photos are blurry and my movies appear to be gone..
can anyone help with this problem please
it has loads of shots and video from my wedding and honeymoon
thank you

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

How do I find file types in finder? Example "resume" type PAGES?

So if I wanted to use spotlight, how would I search for resumes, kind pages documents, so I do not get any PDF or word doc hits?
I used to remember this.
Thanks

Type in .pages in the spotlight search bar. If you want to ignore any PDF files, you can turn off searching for that type of document.
OR
You could use a boolean search like this (probably more suitable)
resume (-doc -pdf)
More info on boolean searches in spotlight can be found here..

Hope this helps
