Media Manager mistake - Can it be fixed?

Hi, we have tried to back up a FCP project on Media Manager but accidentally 'moved' the files instead of 'copying' them.
Now when we try to retrieve the project, about half the files are offline and we can't reconnect them. The project still plays fine in the timeline but we can't seem to reconnect them. We have been able to reconnect media previously but as MM renamed everything when we 'moved' the files, we can't seem to reconnect now.
Any ideas?
As always, really appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks

Do you remember if you did create a new project (That's an option in the MM window). Or did you not?
If you did not, then the next question comes up?
Did you check the 'delete Unused Media' checkbox?
If you did not, then you can simply reconnect (one by one, because the names changed) to the oved media.
But if you did check the 'delete Unused Media' checkbox, then it will be hard to reconnect the media.
If so, Backup the project and do either one of two things:
A. Re-ingest the 'lost' footage
or
B. Make the missing clips in the timeline 'independent clips' (menu: Modify > Make Independent Clip')
Reconnect those to the moved files. One by one. On the error message choose 'Continue'.
Editing those clips will be limited since you deleted the unused media (=Everything that was not in the timeline).
I thing option A is the best option to prevent more problems down the road.

  • Media Manager. Can anyone help?

    Hi, Every time I launch Media Manager I get the message "The current display settings do not meet the minimum requirements for this application. Please change the screen resolution to 1024x768 pixel or higher, and the color quality to 16-bit or higher" It might be something really simple but I haven't a clue what to do. Thanks. Kate.

    what are the current display settings on your computer? If your running windows there are in yoru control panel. not sure where they are on a mac.

  • Where is the Media Manager in Desktop 6.0.0.40 ??????

    Last night the BlackBerry Desktop Manager wanted to do an update.  I've done these updates in the past so I thought it would be safe.
    This new version - 6.0.0.40 (Released August 3, 2010 Bundle 42) does not have the Roxio Media manager.  I have to be able to copy files between the BlackBerry file system and my PC.  Not just from the music, pictures and video directories.  I have files in other locations of the file system for my application.

      I too had the same problem not being able to access any of my files in device memory after upgrading to DM6. Mass storage device is turned on.  I posted this issue on Aug 12 with no reply from RIM/BB with a fix.  I therefore was forced to reinstall DM5 with Roxio Media Manager and can once again access all my files on my device and move them around.  Now I have two DM'S running on my desktop.  As I stated in my post, I'm not impressed with DM6 at all!  Why release something that doesn't work? In my opinion it's a downgrade! 

  • VCast Media Manager Will Not  Download Purchased MP3 Album to PC

    VCast Media Manager Will Not  Download Purchased MP3 Album to my PC, but has deducted the purchase from my account.  Clicking Download Manager tab gives the message "Please sign into the store", even though I am logged in.  
    In the past when this problem occurs Loging out and Login In  to the store has worked and started the download , but not this time.   There is no tab on the Shopping Cart to Log out of Store.  I have tried exiting and restarting VCast Media Manager and also rebooting the system.  I am running VCast Version 1.5.0 Build 1652 which is reported as the latest.  System is meets all requirements Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4 GB RAM, Sound Card and Video Card.
    If I need to re-install VCast Media Manager how can the data be saved that determines I am owed a download?
    Thanks.

    I would call customer service and see if they can see an issue on their end...and at least make a note that you never received the download.

  • Roxio media manager missing Roxio media manager.msi file can't cancle installation

    Roxio media manager is trying to installing something but it gets to the end and say it can't find Roxio media manager.msi. so basicly i need the file. I can't cancle whats it's doing as it keeps restarting. It just bugging my now as i can't uninstall anything else and I need to to fix another not related problem

    start- run, type
    msconfig and press OK
    clcik on STARTUP tab at the top, right down whats either checked or unchecked(whichever is the smallest option)
    click disable all button
    click on the SERVICES tab at the top
    at the bottom click checkmark in "hide all microsoft services"
    again write down what is or isnt checked(smallest option)
    click DISABLE ALL button
    restart PC
    when you boot up you get a popup saying you ahve used the MS config utility, place check mark in box and click OK
    next open the internet and download
    Windows Installer CleanUp Utilityinstall program and run it, in the list find anything blackberry, roxio, research in motion, or installer related. remove them
    next we are going to perform a clean uninstall of DTM
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=1&docTy...
    anywhere in the DOC, if it tells you to delete research in motion, also delete roxio if you see it.
    then you can go back to MSCONFIG and put your startup and services back to the way they were
    then get the latest desktop manager 5.0, if you dont plan on using media manager, dont install it, its a resource hog

  • My Media Manager fix

    After many frustrating hours on the phone with Verizon fios tech support... I decided to go another direction. Trial and error. Well here is the deal. After starting Media Manager, I then went to my tv and STB and brought up Media Manager with the response of "Device Not Found." For me this was the KEY. I disabled the firewall on my ESET Smart Security 4. Then went to my TV and tried again.. Walla!
    Now I had to figure out what need to be changed. I got up early this morning and called tech support for ESET and the lady e-mailed me the fix in thier data base. My firewall fix After doing this you will want to put the firewall back to Automatic mode with acceptions (user defined).  Before you do this last step make sure you access all the apps you normally use and click remember this action.  If you have any other questions and you are running ESET Smart Security 4 like I am, call thier tech support at 866-343-3738. They are very helpful and support thier products extreamly well.  The only help I got from fios support was to refer me to these forums. As the lady from fios tech support told me they get most of thier fixes from this forum. I feel it was my duty as a fellow user to share my experiance and possibly save you the frustraton I have experienced.. Hope this is a help to you.

    >How can I see if have a 32 or a 64 bit BIOS? If I have a 32 how can I make it a 64?
    Start the notebook and press F2. Then you should be able to access the BIOS.
    There you should see the version number. Furthermore you can download the latest BIOS from the Toshiba European driver page.
    >1. I have installed a 64 bit sound drive for windows 7 of Realtek the version 6.0.1.6392 and it only recognizes the 2 speakers above the keyboard. How can I fix this?
    The notebook supports the speakers: main x2 + tweeter x2 + woofer harman/kardon
    All speakers are controlled by sound chip. So you need to install just the Realtek sound driver.
    Further settings can be found in control panel Realtek HD audio manger.

  • Can't drag any files to blackberry from computer using media manager

    Just got my Blackberry Curve out of the box today and got it all set up.  I am now trying to drag some files over using Media Manager on the desktop manager.  I have my blackberry connected to the computer.  I open Media manager and see My computer options on the left and my blackberry connected on the right.  I located my file in my computer side.  Highlight it and try to drag it into the blackberry memory, but it won't let me.  I also can't use the arrow buttons to transfer it.  They don't "light up."  They just stay gray.  Did I miss something in installation?  I have tried MP3's, word docs, excel docs, etc.  It is not taking anything...

    I have found that installing the OS for your device alleviates this problem, but if you have a microSD card in your BlackBerry it is easier to just open up the My Computer icon and just drag and drop into the appropriate folders.

  • Can't install or uninstall Desktop software and Roxio Media Manager has taken over

    I had been having trouble with the Blackberry Desktop software crashing each time I closed it when I was done using it. This morning when I booted my computer I got an error message that said RoxWatchTray9 was unable to locate component. When I tried to close that box it attempted to install something but it just stalls. When I close try to cancel it just freezes. After while it tries to install again only to freeze again.
    I figured the best solution would be to uninstall and reinstall the program but when I went into Add/Remove I discovered six listings for Blackberry Device Software for Blackberry 9530 smartphone, one for v5.0 and five for v4.7.0. I finally managed to uninstall the v5.0 at the top of the list but I can't remove the other five. I also can't reinstall the program. Roxio Media Manager continues attempting to force an install and is hogging my system resources. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Try this process (you might have to do step 2 multiple times for each instance of what is showing in add/remove programs):
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/WIN7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again. You might also want to avoid Media Manager unless you really really need it.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I can't use my media manager

    I've tried installing the verizon media manager (vmm) software on my pc several times. I attempted to contact verizon about my issues, but they seemed not to know what the media manager feature was let alone have and solutions on how to fix it. I have also changed different configurations on my computer to see if there were any conflicts i.e. turning off firewall settings and UAC, and deleting real player and quicktime. I'm just getting irritated and I don't know what to do.
    The message I get while installing VMM is the media manager installation was interupted before it completed.
    I'm wondering if any one knows the solution?
    Thank you

    Sorry that I cannot help you, but I just installed it two days ago on my Vista pc.  I did not have any problems.  Try right clicking on the file and select "Run as Administrator".

  • 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?

    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!

  • 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.
