Lost AIF files when I installed FCP2

Thanks

The files I lost were the AIF that went with my .m2v for DVD Studio Pro projects.

Lost document files after Mavericks install

After Mavericks install from App Store, document folders located in Dock are replaced with question mark icon; unable to locate files in Trash, iCloud, or Finder.
While I appreciate feedback on backups, never have had issues losing files before when installing apps from App Store. Please advise.

I have the same problem. It just accured today, and i updated to Mavericks several weeks ago. I cant open several folders in Finder but when i right click on them it say that they contain eg. 5 Gbit... But i still cant see/open anything in some folders.
Also yesterday (right before i realised the Finder problem) my computer was slow and acting weird so I tried restaring it, and after it sayed that my start-up-drive (or somting like that) was nearly full. It wouldnt start propoly after that, but then after a few goes I got it to work... I have no clue whats going on really..

Lost all files and applications installed after changing user profile in the registry of windows 8.1 pc

The original user profile on my windows 8.1 pc is C:\Apple\acer sm. I tried changing it to C:\Apple\Apple. After I rebooted my PC, I found out that all my files and applications are lost. What shall I do to recover them?
Your help would save my life. Thank you!

Hi AppleMist,
We wonder if you changed the registry entry or path of user profile.
If you did that in registry please try changing it back.
After changing your user profile and reboot, system won’t read the profile you changed but a new user profile (C:\Apple\acer sm or TEMP) should be created by system. Try renaming this new one as acer sm.old and changing the apple back to acer sm.
It should works fine if you didn’t change file in profile, if it doesn’t work perform a system restore.

Lost a file when added to itunes !!!

I added a file (containing MP3's) on my itunes librairy and deleted it by mistake from Itunes. I found out that it deleted it from my computer too. I've tried to find it with RecoverMyFiles but it doesn't work. Is there a way to find it back ??? Thank you !!!

I had the same thing happen to me this morning. I had selected several folders to be copied to a cd, it looked like they were copying, but the machine wasn't making the normal sound it makes when it is burning to a cd. Then I noticed after it was done that nothing got burned to the cd, and in addition, all the folders were gone from "my documents."
The only way I could find the files again was to use the search function, but when I tried to open them, I would get an error message saying file could not be found. Even though when I clicked file properties it said it should still be in the same location.
I don't have a Lenovo computer, but an eMachines with Windows Vista. I posted here in case anyone in this forum has any idea how to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Preserve ID3 tags in MP3/AIF files when importing to FCS

I've got 7000 music files in a carefully groomed iTunes library, each track donated by a local musician for use in our local television productions. I need to move them out of this lame iTunes storage system and into Final Cut Server for use throughout our facility.
When I import files, the ID3 tags are not preserved. I don't want to hand enter 7000 artist/album/track names all over again. That's madness.
Working with AIFF files mostly, a few MP3s. Final Cut Server 1.5.2.
Anyone got any tips?

There is a solution that involves pruning Spotlight records of the said audio files. The only catch is that it requires Spotlight indexing to be on, which may not be desirable in an Xsan environment. Another approach is to use AtomicParsley (http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/) to retrieve the tags. Either way, you will need to generate XML files that Final Cut Server can read. I would recommend using Ruby and Jim Weirich's excellent Builder gem (http://github.com/jimweirich/builder).
So, make a subscription for new audio assets, run a script that retrieves metadata from the original file and then write a setMd XML file to a Final Cut Server watch folder. There are a few things you will need to solve, such as retrieving the path of the original media. If coding is not your thing, you might consider Transmogrifier (http://transmogrifier.sourceforge.net/), which I've never tried, but does seem to solve many of these issues.
Good luck.

Lost aif File

When I'm mixing, I consistently use "Save As" to save my latest mix. Today I wanted to go back to a previous mix to compare a electric guitar track to the one included on the latest mix. When I called the previous mix up, I got an "Aif #_ Not Found" message". I don't THINK I did anything to cause the guitar track to disappear from the previous mix. Any suggestions as to what happened, and how I might recover the previous guitar track???
Thanks

It was worth a look.
You should save your projects by choosing the Save As "Archive Project" option. This will take everything in your current project and place it all into the media folder of your .band.
If your just going back to check out an old mix but haven't changed anything else in the guitar track, for instance you haven't done any editing you can probably take your guitar loop from your current mix and drop it back into the old mix.

How do I recover files when the install fails due to a damaged HD

While updating to Mavericks for Mountain Lion, the install failed. It stated that the hard drive was damaged. I ran disk utilities and the option to repair is not avalible. Prior to the install there was not a problem. I unfortantly do not have a back up to restore from. Do any of you fine Apple supporters have any suggestions?

Emergency recovery of your data on your internal drive/SSD.
Can you boot in normal or Safe Boot mode (Boot Command-R)?
If so do so and run a Time Machine backup.
If you can’t run Time Machine, proceed below.
          You will need a blank disk or a disk that you are willing to erase (a lose the data on it).
          If you do not have one it is time to purchase one larger than your internal drive/SSD.
          At this point your goal is to recover as much data as you can onto an external disk.
          First, disconnect all unneeded peripheral equipment, including external drives.
          (Use an external wired keyboard and mouse if necessary.)
A)          Try to boot in normal mode (just press the power key).
          If that won't work try to boot in Safe Mode.
                    • Press the power button and as you hear the bong, then hold down the Shift key.
          If it does not work either way jump to B.
          If it booted, from the Finder > Go > Utilities > Disk Utility, jump to C
            (formatting the emergency drive) and come back to here.
          Go > Computer.
          Double click on the system disk and then on the Users folder.
          Drag your named user folder to to the recovery disk.
          If that does not work double click on the named user folder
        and try dragging each folder individually to the recovery disk.
          Repeat for other users if there are any (logging into their accounts or an admin account).
          If this works you have recovered your personal data.
B)          Boot the recovery partition.
          • Press the power button and as you hear the bong, then hold down the Command and R keys.
           If that won't work jump to E.
          Once booted, click on Disk Utility.
C)          To format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
          Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
          Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
          Click on Partition.
          Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
          Click on Options…
          Select GUID Partition Table.
          Name: Emergency Backup
          Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
          Click Apply.
          Click Partition.
D)          Drag and drop the named system disk to Source:
          Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
          (Do not reverse these.)
          Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
E)          Seek expert help to test/replace the internal disk.
          If it is an SSD then trash it. DiskWarrior recovery from damaged SSDs is futile.
          Save the ailing disk. You might be able to recover data on it
          buy placing it in an external enclosure and mounting it from a healthy machine
          then using the Finder and/or DiskWarrior.
          http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
F) Once your system is healthy again be sure to maintain two reasonably current backups.

LOST Project File when external hard drive accidentally unplugged!

My external hard drive got knocked out and the project file is now nowhere to be found anywhere. Anybody experience this and/or have ANY advice?

Thats bad news ... how long had you been working on the project? Regardless, it looks like its time to start over. Looking on the bright side tho, its a valuable lesson well learnt and a good reminder to everyone else. Never keep all your eggs in one basket ie keep you main project file and autosave files separate. Personally, I keep the your Autosave Vault on an external drive but work with the main project file on the internal (startup) drive, then copy that saved main project file across to the external as a backup at the end of each day. And re the autosave settings, make sure they are suitable ... I see lots of folks leave their autosave at the default save every 30 minute setting ... don't know about you but my fingers work fast enough that 30 minutes work would be way more than I'm willing to use.
Good luck with the rebuild

I AM GOING TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW COS THATS HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME:-)

Hi CcjNZek,
In case we have misunderstanding, please explain a bit about the following questions:
1. Do you mean that we lost some files when we failed in the process of transferring files by Bluetooth?
2. What do you mean about the sentence ‘usb'd to a pc’?
3. Do you use the phone to connect the Bluetooth? If so, please check if you have backed up those files.
We could check the default folder of the file transfer.
As we use the Windows 8.1, we could use the File History to restore your file in the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders and the OneDrive files available offline on your PC.

Activex (.ocx) file does not install unless installed through Internet Explorer

Please fix this Adobe... I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was not installing the activex (.ocx) file when I installed it through firefox or chrome. Low and behold if you install it through Internet Explorer than it installs the activex file. Other programs use the activex (.ocx) file.

It doesn't matter if you download the installers from Firefox, or IE, or whatever browser.
There are two installers:
one for IE that installs the ActiveX control
one for other browsers that installs the plugin
You can download the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment

Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.

Problem with importing saved .json backup file in fresh installed firefox 3.6.8? Message "unable to process the backup file", when i choosed option "Restore" from menu "organize your bookmarks" !?

Hello,
my problem is with importing saved .json backup file in fresh installed firefox 3.6.8? Message "unable to process the backup file", when i choosed option "Restore" from menu "organize your bookmarks" !?
Normally that i followed all instructions from your support site, and that i tried many things, but nothing helped :( !?
my .json file isn't corrupted cause it was saved on another partition before formatting my OS.
Please don't tell me that my bookmarks are lost :( cause i had many important things in that bookmarks, on 100.s pages :( ....
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,

Can you restore that JSON backup in a new profile?
Did you make sure that it is really a JSON backup and that there is no missing or hidden other file extension?
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded"
A HTML backup starts with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
You can try if you can restore that JSON backup in a new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Please for administration of this support site, make possibility to quote someone's answer, on this way is dificult to answer somebody who wrote some suggestion!
No, i can't restore JSON backup in new profile, even on fresh installed OS XP SP3, with fresh installation of latest version of firefox!
MAN I TOLD YOU 10X IT'S 200 % JSON BACKUP FILE!!! I'M NOT IN IT FROM YESTERDAY, I WORK IN IT 12 YEARS!!!
I tried restoring json backup in new profile, but nothing, i couldn't restore, cause that stupid error from screen shot which i posted again appears !
Man i'm not totally noob i repeat 2nd time here, and normally that i know to create new profile, and that i tried that, but that didn't help!
I can't believe that FIREFOX has not good support team, and doesn't care for yours users, this will not give me more reason to use in future firefox
like borwser, if i don't have good support, and when i have problem like this, to loose all my very important bookmarks and passwords on them, and
firefox support won't to help me to solve my problem!
If somebody from firefox support team read this, i can give you Remote desktop access to my computer to try solve this problem, like other serious company
like HP, Dell , etc. give remote desktop support to their users!
Corel are you from firefox support team? Please don't write same suggestions, cause i know to read, and i understand well if you write once some suggestion!

I lost my filter plug ins when I install Elements 13. If I choose one plug in in Preferences it installs it. But if I try to choose another one it just replaces the first one. How do I install multiple filter plug ins?

I lost my filter plug ins when I installed Elements 13, i.e. Topaz Labs, Nik. If choose one plugin in preferences it will add it to the filter list. But if I try to add another filter it just replaces the first one.
How can I get my multiple plugins back?

Sorry to jump on this thread, but it seems like I have a similar problem. Oh. BTW, Happy New Year!
I have filters from Topaz, Imagenomic, ePaperPress, and Redfield. In the past when a new version of PSE came out, I just copied and pasted the folders w/ the ".8bf" files into the Plug-Ins folder of the new version. This time it didn't work.
I have been searching for a clue. I came across a confusing comment in a post from some Adobe gal [that has been linked multiple times. It said:
"Please click on Photoshop Elements in the top left corner and select 'Preferences'." The confusing thing about this is that I have no "Photoshop Elements" in the top left corner! As this is the first step, I'm stuck there...
Here is what I see in the upper-left corner:
When I click on the Elements 13 Logo, I get a small drop-down menu that has no "Preferences" option. I have versions of PSE back to 10 and none of them have "Photoshop Elements" in the top-left corner.
BTW, I'm running Win 7 Home 64.
I noticed that PSE 13 loaded into my Program Files folder, whereas all previous versions went to my Program Files (x86) folder. That indicates that 13 is running as a 64-bit app? Does that require different plugins?

Any solutions for lost render/preview files when opening files?s

Have any solutions been found for the intermittent lost render/preview files when opening a large file? I have Premiere CS6. A large project file that I have been working on lately opened without a hitch with previews intact ...until I bought new faster hard drives and rebuilt the computer (built with the same drive letters). I just installed the latest updates. When I now open this file, a segment of the sequence always opens without previews, unrendered, no matter how many times I rendered the file previously. I don't use 3rd party plugins. I am using the warp stabilizer. I tried all the suggestions that I have found on the forums (using a blank sequence to close and open, unchecking “write XMD…” etc.) but none work. I checked the render/preview drive, and these files are on that drive but they will no longer link to the project. It now takes a good 15 minutes to re-render every time I open.

I may have found a solution. I took out the warp stabilizer, and then added it back in on the clips in question, and then re-analysed and re-rendered. So far, so good. It seems that bringing in the warp stabilizer effect in the file into the re-built computer needed re-analysing (as I do after this 2 day exercise.)
