Lost part of a file

I have been working with a presentation on powerpoint for Mac. I had saved it fine. I then came to copy it to a memory stick and the transfer did not seem to happen. Now i can't open the presentation on powerpoint at all as it says part of the file is missing.
Any ideas?

TCP/IP does not lose data. Show us the sending code. It is London to a brick that you aren't checking the return value of a write call, and assuming that all the data got written.

Part of path lost when importing autogenerated files

Hope someone can help as can't find anything on the forum about this.
Have two Framemaker 8 books, one of which contains all the files for a future publication, including LOT, LOF and IX. This is the full publication but most of it is still heavily in draft. The second book represents the first release of the publication and has only a small subset of agreed content. The idea is that the publication will grow in time.
The second book is in a subdirectory below the directory containing the first book and the full set of files. It has its own LOT,LOF and IX. It also links up to a few of the files above, the ones that are in the first release. The LOT, LOF and IX contain contain references only to these few content files. Have done it this way rather than put everything in one directory, as there will be a number of subsets, with multiple PDFs produced for review from each before the finalised PDF containing the current content to be released at any one time, and don't want them all in the same directory with the management problems that would introduce, and risk of people selecting the wrong version of a LOT, LOF etc. The content files with the actual text in are not duplicated in this subdirectory; the book just links to them in the directory above itself.
All was well on one PC but needed to work on a second also. This second one has a different directory structure and it isn't possible to change it because of the different policies in place. So copied the main directory and the other subdirectory beneath to the new PC. All appeared OK; the lower level book found the files above etc.
To clarify the structure on the second PC is this:
\dir0\dir1\dir2\Content directory - place where the first book plus the preface, glossary/index and the other files in the draft book - the main body
..dir0\dir1\dir2\Content directory\dirA - place where the second book and LOT, LOF, IX are for the book to be published first (the .. represents some other directories from the root)
(On the first PC, it was \dir0\dir1\Content directory\ and dir0\dir1\Content directory\dir A - and this is the shorter path from the root)
When trying to generate the PDF on the second realised something had gone wrong and then found that the problem began in FMkr. The symptom is this:
The LOT, LOF and IX autogenerated files are fine within the book, their links can be clicked and they go to the source files (in the directory above). BUT these files aren't part of the actual publication. The LOT and LOF are embedded in a Preface (one of the files in level above) and the IX is embedded in a Glossary and Index file (ditto). When these are imported into the Preface or Glossary as appropriate, whether by reference or by actually including the file, the result is the same - the links become non clickable and an error is saying that the file can't be found. The path is partly truncated - it excludes the directory where the files actually are.
So for a link to the Introduction.fm file, FMkr says it is looking for it as ..dir0\dir1\dir2\Introduction.fm and not ..dir0\dir1\dir2\Content directory\Introduction.fm where it actually is.
This occurs even if the whole structure is copied elsewhere to a place higher in the hierarchy. It isn't possible to reproduce the structure on the first PC because of the configuration of the second PC. Have tried taking the LOT etc. out of the second book then regenerating them from scratch - they are fine, the links in them are fine, but when imported into the other files, the links miss out the directory which actually holds the source files where the links point to. Must emphasise this did not happen on the first PC.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks Sheila, have now overcome my problem with editing the post (duh!)
Hope the below is clear enough as cannot send an actual screen shot. Have discovered that the number of directories above in path is a red herring because the problem now happens back on the original pc when the book and files are copied back to it.
Have tried creating a test book with only the index, glossary/index and one content file linked from directory above (i.e. test book at dir c level) and it is OK in the autogenerated index but then does the same truncation when the index is imported into glossary/index, i.e. looks for the source file in dir A. If the source file is copied into the test book directory, the file removed from book and then the local copy added back in and the book updated/import redone, the links work. so it will find it if the source files are in the same directory. However, this always worked before with lots of test runs and a few real reviews too.
Subject: FrameMaker General Discussion Part of path lost when importing autogenerated files
It would be really helpful if you might do a screenshot of the File Manager hierarchy of folders and insert them into your posting, maybe use callouts to annotate the various significant levels -- a visual would really, really make it much easier to interpret what you're describing.
>
Sorry, not coming out very clear compared to viewed on PC. Directories are A, B, C - Dir A caption "The Directory above the content directory. Links in the subset book in Directory C look in here after they are imported into other files in the subset book"
Directory B says "Directory B, the content directory, with introduction, glossary/index and other content files, plus main book, main index, main LOT, LOF. Some of the content files in here are also linked to from the subset book in Directory C"
Directory C says "Directory C containing the subset book with its own index, LOT, LOF, plus links to introduction, glossary/index and a couple of other files in Directory B. The links to files in Dir B work in the autogenerated LOT, LOF etc, but not when imported into content files (linked files in directory B) although this used to work. They now look for the content files in Directory A instead"
Hope that makes it clearer.

Lost Part of Library

I recently had a hard drive crash and lost part of my music library which was not backed up. Now when I click on a tune I get a message that the file cannot be found. Is there a way I can get music purchased from the i Tunes store replaced? Please help.

Hi, Line Dancer.
The music should still be on your computer so the first thing I'd do is check whether or not it is.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for details on how to do so.

Have lost original iTunes music files on my MacBook Air

Hi, can someone help?
My purchased music files are no more aviailible on my mac, probably i have deleted them. Although on iTunes they are indicated under "purchased" but unfortunately I cannot access them. The list of music albums and songs still is availible, and if i want to activate one of songs, i receive the information, that the file could not be found, would i like to locate it? But when i go to "locate", the file appears to be empty at the end. Have i lost all my music files without a possibility to recover them? Any suggestions?
Appreciating your suggestions.

iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis because you know for sure one day your drive will stop functioning, probably without warning.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

I've changed my iphone 4. when I've synchronized if with my itunes I lost part of my apps, in fact, it didn't restore like the other iphone. Somebody do can help me?

I have a problem with my new iphone 4. I'he changed it (before I had another Iphone 4)
when I arrived at home to synchronize it, only part of the apps synchronized. I lost part of my apps like TomTom. Somebody have any idea how I can recoup my lost apps?
thank you everybody for your help! I don't want to pay again for this apps again!!!
Eli

apps can only ever by bought 1 time using the same AppleID
make sure the itunes on the computer you sync with and the iphone have the appleID set the same
and if you must redownload the apps if bought using the same appleID you will not be recharged for redownloading them

I lost a really important file (an iText Express document) randomly and then one day, a "recovered file" folder popped up and I assume it has to do with that, but the file just contains a doc with a bunch of coding. What do I do with that? HELP!!!

As the title question states, I lost a really important file with iText Express. I've been using iText Express for a year or two now because it's just the one application I downloaded for writing and saving documents. I was working on one for a few months and randomly one day last month, when I went to open it to resume editing my work, the file was gone! I searched my whole laptop and trash. Then one day, a "Recovered Files" folder popped up in the area my file used to be, so I assumed that was the file I lost being recovered and I felt relieved. But when I opened the folder, the document inside was a "SoftwareMap" document with a bunch of coding written in it. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with that or how it's going to help me recover my file?!? I lost SO much work!!! If anyone has ANY idea what to do, how this happened, or if the coding is supposed to help me recover my file, PLEASE help!!!

No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.

I have transfered all my library on an external hard disk and lost the itunes library files.

I transfered all my library on an external hard disk and lost the itunes library files. Itunes created new ones but I lost all the playlists.
How can I copy the playlists presents on the Iphone directly on Itunes ?
If I want to syncronise now, I lost all playlists datas.

Hi,
I did the same XP to Windows 7 upgrade about 18 months ago. I decided to keep iTunes permanently on the external drive than the c drive to save c: drive space.
ITunes database has pointers to MP3 files located in Artist's directories. If you want to use a different location than the default C:\ drive for iTunes, then you need to recreate the Itunes database by deleting all songs in iTunes, then change the default location for iTunes files to your external drive. Then import the MP3 files from the external drive into the empty iTunes database through the iTunes import facility.
If you screw up the timing of the import and find you have multiple iTunes directories (instead of just the default location), then iTunes has a new feature to consolidate all iTunes MP3 files back into the central default location. In iTunes, FILE, LIBRARY, ORGANIZE LIBRARY, then CONSOLIDATE FILES.
To change the default directory for MP3 files, in Tunes go to EDIT, PREFERENCES, ADVANCED and then CHANGE the location to where you want the Itunes MP3 files to be located (including the iTunes subdirectory under which all the artist directories are held. Mine are on the F: drive or whatever your computer states is your drive assignment for the external drive.
Note iTunes 10.5 has many problems that Apple hopefully are working on....we seem to have gone backwards on working components in this iCloud based release. So maybe keep on using old computer until 10.6 is released.

Edit copy in a CS6 file, but lock formatting of parts of the file

I have a client that needs to be able to edit some copy in a file that I've created in adobe Illustrator CS6, but I want to be able to lock the formatting of parts of the file. I don't want them to use CS6.Suggestions?

Can't do. At best you could offer them a hacky solution liek creating a PDF form with an editable text field, but it may end up looking awful.

Reading a File by Knowing a part of the file name

Hi Java Gurus,
Can I copy a file to another location by knowing a part of the file name.I know the extension of the file and part of the file name.Can I copy such a file to another directory?
Eg :
0099999999_JAPPLIC_20090320.pdf is the file name.
I know the file name contains 'JAPPLIC' .Can I use this clue and the extension of the file to copy the file to another directory.
Please let me know whether it is possible or not.
Regards,
Rakesh.

Hi ,
I used the below code and I was able to solve the problem.I was able to select the files of the required extension and serach for the file names containing the text I know and use such files and move to another directory.It may be helpfulk to you people
public class FileDeletion {
public static void main (String args[]) {
     String e = "";
     String d = "C:\\TCCTouchpoints\\Attachments_Export\\outbound";
     String newFileLoc = "C:\\TCCTouchpoints\\Attachments_Export\\move";
ExtensionFilter filter = new ExtensionFilter(e);
File dir = new File(d);
File newLoc = null;
String[] list = dir.list(filter);
if (list.length == 0) return;
System.out.println("File Length "+list.length);
ArrayList fileNames = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
/*file = new File(d + list);
boolean isdeleted = file.delete();
System.out.print(file);
System.out.println( " deleted " + isdeleted);*/
     System.out.println(list[i]);
     if(list[i].contains("_F5029.03_")){
          fileNames.add(list[i]);
          //System.out.println(list[i]);

How to not append '.PART' to the file name of the currently downloading file, and just download the file with its normal filename

In Windows, when Firefox (I'm currently using 7.0) downloads a file, it appends ''.PART'' to the file name of the currently downloading file and just renames it to its original file name after it finishes downloading.
I sometimes like to watch a currently downloading video file, so it will be better if Firefox just downloads the file to its actual filename (like what Opera does), so I can easily double click the incompletely downloaded file and watch it with the video player assigned to that file extension, rather than the awkward ''Right click -> Open With -> Choose Default Program'' route with .part files.
Does anyone know how to set Firefox to do this?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox and prevents Firefox from renaming the .part file.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

SSIS - creating part of the file name from an id in the database

I am trying to figure out how to pull an "id" from my data source to include in the file name. Right now the file name created looks like customer_002_timestamp.txt. I need to add the id to the file name and I need to grab it at the time I get
the data, so then the file name becomes customer_002_id_timestamp.txt.
My data source is Oracle and I am using Attunity, so I do not have the capability of using the resultset found in the SQL Task because I have to use the data task.
Has anyone ever extracted an id from a query against Oracle using the Attunity connector to add as part of the file name? If so, how would I add that to my control flow task?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is it a static id value you want
Then you can just use a SSIS variable to hold value from resultset in execute sql task
Then inside your data flow you can use an expression for setting value of another variable which can be used for setting filename in your destination task. The expression will include logic to concatenate id variable also which we populated in the previous
step.

When I download files, firefox is adding " .part " to the file name and the file won't open, but if i back the .part out, it opens fine.

Firefox seems to be adding " .part " to the file names of files I downoad. Here's an example:
YuT9iNv8.pdf.part
I cannot open this file because it can't find an application.
If I back out the .part, I get a box asking if I want to change the extension to .pdf I check yes, and everything works fine. It doesn't happen with other browsers (Safai).

I get the error message saying the file could not be downloaded due because there is no enough disk space.
