Media Manager . . . can't find . . .

My file management's a mess . . . I fully admit it. (OK - ok - next time I'll try harder - I PROMISE).
But the 80 min project plays fine in FCP and I've burned to DVD etc - all's good.
Now I want to use MM to boil the whole thing down into one Folder and ditch the unused stuff.
Trouble is, every time MM gets started on the work, it keeps coming up with files it can't find.
Sometimes, it's files that are in my main media folder (where most of the other stuff it found with no problem, is too) - and often when I show it the file, it just keeps telling me it can't find it - ad nauseum!
Sometimes, what it can't find looks like a bunch of numbers that mean nothing to me - even Spotlight can't find them. (I do have all both external drives running),
This is really tiresome.
Any ideas?

G5 Quad. 8 GB. 250 & 500 GB Int'l Drives. G-Tech G-Raid 1 TB. FCP 5.0.4 (Studio) Mac OS X (10.4.6) Sony HVR-Z1E . . . I mark my questions Solved or Helpful - and I LOVE FCP.

Very strange, isn't it!
A similar thing happened in FCP with this project.
After I'd done some media management of my own (last year sometime) one of the music tracks started coming up as offline every time I started FCP.
I just reconnected by locating the relevant file (which was still in the same folder with the rest of the music tracks) but it kept happeneing.
Eventually, I deleted the music track and relevant clip, saved the project, emptied the trash, re-imported the clip I'd dragged back from my external backup and guess what ?. . . The problem still persisted for some weeks!
Eventually it righted itself - not sure why!

After upgrading to mountain lion,my HP device manager can't find scanner

I have an HP Photosmart C5550 All-in-One printer scanner.
The HP device manager can't find the scanner. Printer works fine.
I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and this is my problem now.

Try the HP Photosmart C5500 series app in /username/Library/Printers/, HP Utility->Devices in /Library/Printers/hp/Utilities/, Image Capture, or Preview->File->Import from scanner option.

Blackberry Device Manager can't find 9320 Bluetooth device (even Bluetooth is switched on and set to Discoverable)

I want to sync my Blackberry 9320 via Bluetooth to a Windows 7 Professional machine using a Bluetooth adapter. Syncing using USB cable works fine.
I can Bluetooth pair with the 9320 and also send / receive files to /from the Windows 7 machine. Fantastic !
HOWEVER, Blackberry Device Manager can not find the 9320 Bluetooth device (even Bluetooth is switched on and set to Discoverable) - see screen shots below.
By the way I have already tried (amongst other things) “Manually Install RIM Virtual Serial Ports in Microsoft® Windows® 7” on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2n5dHxGHI Unfortunately, this does now work - the drivers do load up OK and remove the warning signs when view in Windows Device Manager, but Blackberry Device Manager still can't see my 9320.
Please help !

I have the exact same problem with my 9360. I have also tried all the fixes I could find on the Internet with no luck. I have posted a request as well. I will let you know if I find a solution. What gets me though is that this appears to be a long standing issue with no obvious fix! Best of luck.

Project manager can't find my songs

I have well over 100 song files on one of two internal sata drives in my mac pro. "SATA A" has my sample libraries. "SATA B" contains all my song files and audio recordings.
I want to use project manager to help identify what samples I have used with these songs. the samples are stored on "SATA A" within a huge library. The problem is that project manager doesn't seem to find any of my songs (stored on "SATA B").
I have done expanded sacans, localised/"specified where" scans. I've excluded locations and included locations but PM will not find any of my songs on my "SATA B" drive. It does however find sample data, audio, movies and everything else.
PM ~does~ find songs on my "SATA A" drive. These are songs included in my Kirk Hunter Emerald library - which I didn't even know existed! When I saw PM picked up the songs on SATA A drive I tried copying my songs to it from "SATA B". I did a full, extended scan from scratch and still my songs are not found.
I have checked their permissions. They all have .iso on the end and the finder sees them as "logic songs" via "get info". In fact they look identicle to the Kirk hunter songs that the PM sees. I have also checked sata b drive and compared to it sata a and they seem to be configured identically (bought/set-up at the same time etc).
I have tried deleting logic's pref files and PM data etc etc manually. still no joy.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong or what I can do to fix it?
About 10% of my songs (out of 100 to 150 songs) will be using exs24 samples from my sample library (KH Emerald is just one eg). I just want to save the associated samples with the songs for archiving. I do not want to have to save all my sample library with the songs if at all possible. Going through each song manually would take too long. I feel my only option right now is to save all songs and all sample library on specially purchased hard drive but I'd prefer to avoid this route. Any suggestions?
Sorry if I've asked this before but its driving me nuts.

yep, I have scanned at every level, from everything to just a single folder that contains song files. After scanning a folder that conatins songs on my SATA B drive (the one that PM can't find songs), still the songs will not appear.
I have copied over my songs to the drive that PM seems to see songs on and guess what? It doesn't see those songs copied over.
This is driving me so nuts I have forgotten that I engaged in this thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1046126&tstart=0
Does anyone know what the option in the PM's file menu "import file maps" and delete all exported file maps" does? Or what its for?
It feels to me that some sort of database or referrence list etc etc has gone very wrong, but I have already tried deleting (manually) the PM data file in somewhere in the library folder etc etc.
Using file buddy I see that PM stores the a PM database as an invisable file on each drive you have connected. Presumably info for what is on that drive. Perhaps these invisable files need to be manually deleted???

Migration manager Can't find Mac

I have a new iMac i7 with 10.8.2 and I can't get Migration Manager to see my old G4-733 Power Mac (bought new in 2001).
The old Mac has 10.4.11 and I've installed the CD/DVD update.
I had them connected (wired) to an Airport Extreme and they don't find each other.
I then tried the FireWire Target Disc mode. The PowerMac shows up on the new iMac desktop, but Migration Manager still can't find it.
Normally, I would just copy the Library and Prefs but this is too different.
Help!

You must use a FireWire cable for Tiger. Here is the procedure for your reference:
Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger to OS X Lion
Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 computers to OS X Lion over your Wi-Fi or a wired network is not supported. However, if both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port, you can use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data:
Verify that both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port. Note that different model Macs may have different FireWire connectors, which will require an appropriate cable, such as FireWire 400 to FireWire 800.
On the Mac you want to transfer data from, Restart, and immediately hold the T key.
Wait for the FireWire logo to appear on the screen. If it does not, restart and try again.
Connect both Macs via the FireWire cable.
On the Mac you want to transfer data to, Open the Migration Assistant application.
Select the option "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" and click Continue.
Select the option "From a Time Machine backup or other disk" and click Continue.
Select your other Mac's volume, such as "Macintosh HD", from the list, and click Continue
I have yet to confirm this will work with Mountain Lion though. I have to go to a couple other systems to verify whether it does or not and I will let you know. Give me a few minutes.

Media Manager - Can I alphabetize the Artists?

When I browse by artist through my STB they appear to be in random order. This makes it real difficult to find anything. How does media manager choose the order to display the Artists. Maybe I'm missing something. I have over 500 artists on my PC and even though i'm only sharing about 100 of them with my STB I'm always going nuts trying to find what i'm looking for.
Just an aside, I love the idea of the Media Manager but the interface and lack of preferences leave A LOT to be desired. I feel like i'm always fighting with the thing to do what I want. I hope they do better on the new version, if it ever gets released.
Ben

Until Verizon sorts this out, does anybody know where the Media Manager stores the music list on the PC. I could at least perform a manual sorting until the software gets smarter.

Download Manager can't find JRE

I use WinXP Home.
I wanted to download "Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1" using the Sun Download Manager. The web page gave the message: "We were unable to detect a recent version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. "
I did the following:
1) Verified that I actually had JRE jre1.5.0_10 on my system
2) Uninstalled the JRE.
3) Installed the latest (same!) version of the JRE from java.com, allowing the installer to put the files wherever it wanted.
After that, when I try to download "Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1", I get the same message: JRE not found.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Alan

The SDM is not compatible with Mozilla 5 based browsers, they can't find the "jnlp" Mime-type.
I just download the zip file directly form the link HREF'ed to the file name on the page with the "Download Selected" button.
Or you could just download with Internet Explorer... :-0)

Media Manager can not copy file error 47

In editing a program together, I converted a powerpoint presentation using keynote into a Quicktime movies using the DV settings. All well and good and I have output this to tape and DVD. Now, when I try to use Media Manager to make a trimmed down archival copy with extraneous materials removed, the program reports it cannot copy this DV movie. The error reported is 47. What's up?
I am using a completely upgraded FCP 4.5 on a G5 with 1.5 GB RAM and hard disk space galore.

Through my research I believe the "error 47" must relate to an imcompatible frame rate from your native sequence frame rate. I've done the tests and once I changed the frame rate of the problem clip(through conversion), I no longer had any problems.
Where is there a list of these error codes? That would be nice.

Media Manager Can't See WMV file

I installed Verizon Media Manager and I have a family video created in Windows Live Movie Maker that is a WMV file. Media Manager did not pick it up in a scan and when I tried to add it manually, I got an error that said I'm trying to scan a corrupt or unsupported file format. I also converted the file to an AVI and got the same error. All files play on my computer in Windows Media Player with no issue.
Video originated off a Canon HD video recorder.
Any ideas? Would really like to play the video on my TV.

If some AVI's are playing, then its a problem with Windows Movie Maker program and how it exports. I am sorry that our program will not meet your needs.

Media Manager can't see Pearl

Desktop Manager connects to my 8130, but Media Manager doesn't see my phone. I recently upgraded to 4.5 and media manager worked for a couple of days, but stopped today. I have since uninstalled 4.5 and have gone back to 4.3. Still no luck. Any thoughts?

Desktop Manager can't find my device

I'm using Desktop Manaer v5.0 with a Curve 8530. Yesterday I sync'd my organizer data without a problem. Today I used Media Sync to upload some recordings to the device (via Windows Media). Desktop Manager recognized the device but also informed me there was an upgrade for Media Sync, so I accepted it. After the upgrade I sync'd my media with no problem.
But then, after disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, Desktop Manager was unable to find the device. I've tried all the USB ports and I used the Windows "Restore Previous Version" feature to restore the previous version of Media Sync. But it still can't recognize my device.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
- Jeff

Oops! I neglected to try a reboot ... that fixed it. (It's not like I'm new to Windows - I should have tried that before posting.)
So nevermind.

Windows Media player can't find device/ error number C00D1179 - F

This is a fix for the error where windows recognizes and installs the Creative Zen Micro running the version 2.X firmware (or any other MTP device) but neither windows media or creative's software can see it.
How I got this error to begin with...
I had to replace my zen micro because of a headphone jack problem that seems to be very common. It still amazes me that a company that obviously invested tons of money into developing a device like this would let something as stupid as a poorly designed headphone jack ruin it... When I tried to sync my new zen micro I exchanged for at the store, it recognized the initial device firmware. I upgraded to the 2.X firmware and it worked until the device rebooted with the new firmare. At this point, the firmware program couldn't see it even though windows had given me the whole "New Hardware Found" thing and asked me if i wanted to sync with WMP. No other programs could find it either. I tried numerous things to get it to work, but here is what finally worked. This may not fix all the issues of this type but I suspect it will fix most of them.
As this problem is Microsoft's and not Creatives, any device running PlaysForSure (I think "plays if your really lucky" is a better name) I looked at other device forums. I found this post that got me looking in the right place.
http://www.misticri'ver.net/boards/archi've/index.php/t-3598.html
Step six said to look at the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
This made me look more carefully and realize that I had four Creative Zen Micro entries, confusing my computer into not syncing. The solution is below:
***WARNING- EDITING THE REGISTRY CAN REALLY SCREW UP YOUR COMPUTER!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
. Unplug the device
2. Open Regedit by Start -> run, regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB
4. You will see a bunch of folders with incoherent letters and numbers. Expand these once to see another unreadable folder. When you click on this, you'll see a FriendlyName field on the right side. If it says Creative Zen Micro or whatever your device is, delete the higher level incoherent folder, it should start with VID.
5. Plug your device back in and let it reinstall
6. Hopefully it will say docked when you open windows media player
This may not fix all problems of this nature. If it doesn't, look at the link in the earlier part of this post.
BTW, Creative support, we aren't all idiots who don't realize that we don't have WMP0 installed. If we tell you it worked before and stopped working now, and also included a microsoft debug file clearly showing that there is something very strange going on, don't send us a stupid thing to check like whether WMP0 is installed and make us wait 24 hours for the next useless response.

Interesting. Thanks for the information!

Nokia Video Manager can't find any videos :S

Up until now, I only just realised that when I plug my Nokia N95 (non-8GB) into my computer via usb, and open up Nokia NSeries PC Suite to click into Video Manager, I can't search for Videos on my computer.
I choose the root folder (My Documents) to scan, and there's literally 10/20 videos there (some mp4, some wmv, some 3gp) that don't get found by the scan.
It can scan for up to 30/40minutes, and when it finds nothing I click 'stop search', to which Video Manager requires me to force close it as it freezes.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? or an alternate method to get videos from my PC to my Phone?
Also, I can put videos from my phone to pc, just can't search for files on my pc to phone.

Hi, the videos which you have stored in PC, right click on that and select "open with" there you will get a window by listing few programmes, So select "Nokia Multimedia Player". Might be you will be clear.
You won't get a second chance to create a first good impression.

Media Manager cannot find my computer

My computer is connected to my wiressless router at 192.168.2.107, but media manager can never detects my computer. How do you trouble shoot the connection? Motorola box is connected to same wireless router via powerline adaptor, so I am assuming they should see each other. The same config works great for sling player without any issues.

The Media Manager and the STB have to be on the same subnet.
That means your cable box needs to also be on a 192.168.2.x ip address (which is unlikely as they default to 192.168.1.x)
That is your first step is getting them on the same subnet.

Roxio Media Manager Installation Problem

My Desktop Manager recently updated itself to version 5. Shortlly therafter I started to get error messages from Window's Installer trying to configure Roxio Media Manager and not finding a particular roxio media manager .msi file. This is a very insistent installation routine because no amount of "cancel" or rebooting eliminates the process. Very frustrating. The error message is prompting me for an alternate path to the folder containing the installation package but my browing is not finding it. Maybe it's somewhere else?
What do I need to do to either abort this installation or complete it? I really don't care either way, since I don't use Media Manager much. Thanks in advance for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you don't use media manager, I suggest removing it entirely. In my experience it has caused issues with the desktop manager software. I would uninstall the desktop manager from your computer first. Uninstall the Blackberry Destkop Manager (DTM) using this guide: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
Then, Download Blackberry Desktop Manager over here (without media manager): https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Install it and hopefully everything runs fine again. Be sure to reconfigure your sync settings if you use them.

Do you have a secondary router between your computer and the Verizon router? This maybe a stupid question but was media manager running on the computer when you tried to access it from the TV?
