Media refuses to reconnect- something went awry with QT files

I posted this question a year back, and I'm just getting back to editing this project and I still haven't figured this out. I do have some new info, now, too.
I moved hundreds of gigs of footage from one drive to another.
This is my reconnect media workflow:
Select the offline files in the browser
Go to File- Reconnect Media
Select Offline Files
Files to Connect window shows the correct files
I hit Search
FCP locates the media in it's new location
I select "Choose"
And then the problem arises. The Media DOES NOT appear in the Files Located. The connect button does not light up.
I've done a lot of editing on this project already, so I need the files to reconnect properly. Any ideas?? I'm running 6.0.5
I HAVE tried the LOCATE Option- I DO find the media, but the problem is NOT that the computer cannot locate the files. It finds them just fine. It's just that for some reason once it finds them, it skips the part where it's supposed to connect them.
I just transferred all those files to NEW drive and the problem persists. However, this is what I discovered. If I try to drag the files to my browser, FCP gives me a +File Error: Unkonwn file+ message. +QT also tells me that The move could not be opened. The file is not a movie file+.
BUT when I look at the info for the files, the files are the size of QT files. For example, one of the files is 1.5 GB, and my finder calls them quicktime files. Before I start capturing all this footage over, can anyone suggest anyway to convert these files so they will work in FCP? They all at some point did work in FCP. Should I dump all these files from the new drive for good and start over?

OK, Agree, this is weirdness all over.
So first of all:
I HAVE tried the LOCATE Option- I DO find the media, but the problem is NOT that the computer cannot locate the files. It finds them just fine. It's just that for some reason once it finds them, it skips the part where it's supposed to connect them.
You are aware of the fact that YOU have to select the specific file from the list it finds BEFORE the CHOOSE button becomes Blue? (Of course you are aware of that, but, well, you know, I have to ask...)
Also: This Performance warning is because of a codec FCP doesn't like.
Is there any application that WILL open these files. Apparantly FCP does although it protests... So what are the 'item properties' of these clips (Codec, frame size, frame rate; give us all). Are these settings the one you thought they were. How is the material captured from what source. What way are the drives formatted? HFS+ (wrong), MAC OS Extended (good)?
Did you do a check on your drives with Disk Utility or DiskWarrior or any disk-help-software?
Did you try to trash preferences (lots of threads about that).
Do you have the proper combination of FCP version and QuickTime version (lots of threads about that as well)?
I know a lot of questions. Sorry, but every question invokes a solution

  • "Something went wrong with running Nokia Xpress" A...

    hello there,
    out of the blue the nokia xpress browser on my asha 501 does not start anymore: it just shows the blue background with the globe icon. when i press the back button, the following message appears:
    "Something went wrong with running Nokia Xpress"
    - I have subsequently updated the phone software to version 14.0.4
    - I have run the troubleshooter tool under "installed programmes"
    ("Debug <Ovi Browser> connecting on port 2800")
    - I have restarted the phone
    nothing helped.
    is anybody familiar with the problem and might assist with some help?
    thanks in advance

    Hi Chris,
    I had the same problem but I managed to solve this today (04/12).
    Follow the steps below:
    Be sure to backup your files.
    1. Settings (configuration) > Reset phone
    2. Click OK. Wait restart your phone.
    3. Run Nokia Xpress and DON'T upload your backup.
    I hope that your problem was solved.
    And, after this situation, when your phone ask to keep the old files of the browser, click on No.
    Bye,
    Pedro HSB
    If this helped you, please, give to me a Kudo Star, so I can contribute further, but, if this didn't help you, contact me and we gonna solve your problem together.

    something went wrong with my apple tv and now it says that it is in retail demo mode. How can i fix it?  I have had it for more than one year without any problem

    To turn on/off retail mode, go to settings, general, legal.
    Do not open legal, just put the cursor there.
    Then, on the remote, type this sequence : right - right - left - center.
    The AppleTV should reboot.

    After Adobe's servers were breached I received a phonecall from my bank, stating that someone had used my credit card at a hotel in Mexico (I live in Ohio). I closed that credit card and was issued a new card. I want to update my card information on my Creative Cloud subscription. I chatted via the web with a customer service rep today. He was anable to help me. He suggested I call the Care Center. The hold was estimated at 2 hours. All I want to do is update my card information so the next time Adobe automatically bills for my subscription the transaction doesn't bounce.

  • Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

    Hi,
    I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
    The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
    Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
    If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
    The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
    In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
    While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
    Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Dear Wendy,
    Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
    Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
    Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
    - First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
    - The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
    - Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
    to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
    - Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
    I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
    - Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
    http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
    - I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
    I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

  • Why is my camera saying that something went wrong with recording my video?

    Video not working
    My camera is saying that something went wrong while recording my video.
    I have a Windows 8 HP Laptop, and I'm trying to make a video and it is saying that something went wrong while recording it. I would appreciate it if I can get some help on this issue as soon as possible, thank you.

    Hello @Jessi-Marie ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're getting errors while recording video on your notebook.
    It would help to know which product you are using. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    It would also help to know which software you are using to record the video.
    Have you tested the webcam with other software like Skype or CyberLink's YouCam software? It could be a conflict between the software and the webcam, or just the software, or just the webcam. We want to do our best to try and isolate the issue so we can focus our troubleshooting there.
    I look forward to your reply!

  • SOMETHING GONE AWRY WITH A BUNCH OF GIFS ON MY PAGE. PLEASE HELP ME.

    Please, this is a situation which has me nervous. A friend sent me one of those funny GIF things. It is about six different cat faces and the cats move in different ways depending on what kind of music it is.
    I tried to get these GIFs onto my iWeb webpages. I had a difficult time, published one cat face and saw it on Safari on my website. It was a cat with a head bouncing to be bop music. Then I tried to upload all the other cat heads. I botched the job because it ended up with about six of them piling up on each other. Anyhow, I had a bunch of these square windows of cat faces with different kinds of earphones and I thought to myself, "Heh, wouldn't it be funny to see what THAT looks like on a webpage," and I hit the publish button.
    As i could see the progres bar advancing I got to thinking how this could muck up my website (I am a neophyte), so I hit the Cancel button. After that, I deleted the page upon which all those GIFs of cats faces bobbing up and down had been placed. I thought that that was the end of it.
    Then I went to my email to do something else. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I could see movement and I realized that it was that notification saying that my page had been published. SO apparently I had not cancelled that page after all. I clicked onto the Visit Me Now button and saw up in the Navbar, a page titled BLANK. The page had bobbing cat head GIFs strewn all over it and I panicked. I closed Safari, went to iWeb to see if I could really get rid of those cat GIFs.
    The bottomest line is that I had already deleted that page! How would the cats still be dancing on that blank page if I deleted it? I checked all my other pages and they are OK. How on earth could those dancing cat GIFs be bouncing around on my Safari website when they are nowhere to be found on my iWeb pages?
    Please, help me figure this out because I am not comfortable knowing that a whole bunch of GIFs are on my Safari website, maybe screwing everything up by whatever GIFs might be able to do if there were enough of them on a page. Sort of like overload, too any appliances plugged into the wall, etc.
    I am nervous, and although this could seem funny on the outside, here in my place it is nerve wracking.

    All right. The cat GIFs are gone now from my website. I had earlier hit the Clear cache button, but apparently I had to hit it about 10 more times plus go to sites outside of the website. I left to do something else and now that I checked my website on Safari, that Blank Page is not there and the GIFs are gone.
    I'm glad that's over.

  • Something went wrong with iPad photo/Video import and now iPhoto on Mac does not see content.

    I just connected my iPad (4.3.2) to my mac (10.5). It launched the synch process for photos and videos and everything went fine. I then clicked on one of the newly imported photos in iPhoto and it choked and ultimately closed the app and gave me message along the lines of "iPhoto quit Unexpectedly." I rebooted the machine and when it came up went to look in iPhoto and saw that the new photos/video were not there. They are still on the iPad (Fortunately!) However when I reconnect the iPad to the Mac it does not see any content to import. In essence it seems to think it did the import and is not aware that it lost the content.
    There's a couple possible solutions I'm interested in. One, are the photos/video somewhere on the Mac and just need to be dug up? I nosed around a bit but found nothing. Then other solution would be is there some way to force iPhoto to reimport what's on the iPad, ignoring that it feels it's already done this?
    Thanks,
    Wil

    Where did these photos come from to begin with? Did you import them from the iPad into iPhoto on your Mac? Is that what you are saying here?

  • I am not able to use my account because it says that something went wrong with my billing info., but i do not have a credit card but it says i do. I put $15 itunes card on it today and now apple is not letting me use it.

    This is the second time I have had a problem with my account. I am extremely frustrated with it. A while ago I was not able to purchase anything including free apps. At that time I had an outstanding balance. Which had been from using a visa card on my account. I was then told to purchase iTunes cards which would be able to pay it. It then automatically took of the money for the balance that it needed. So I thought okay problem solved. Then for about a month or two I was able to buy music and apps. Now on April 8th, 2012 I am not able to buy anything again after I put a 15 dollar iTunes card on it. It is saying that my account had been opened on another device/ computer. But I use my computer for my account too.

  • I just tried to update Itunes. Something went wrong with the update and now itunes won't open

    I was notified of an update to itunes when I opened it on my PC this morning. I agreed to the update. The update did not finish and now I can't open itunes on the PC. I tried "repair" in the control panel to no avail. HELP!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version, or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
