Mega Stick "Can't File Path" On Copying

Hello...
I'm having lately this annoying problem with the stick. I have a Mega 256, and most of the times, when copying a folder to it, on the middle of the operation I get the error that says "Can't find file; verify the path is correct, etc etc.", and then I can't access the stick until I unplug it and plug it again.
What's wrong now? May this be solved by formating the memory?
Thanks in advance.

Of course; since I got it I formatted it with FAT 16 and always used the latest firmware!

    I installed new version 4. Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words) .. It was working when old firefox was there..

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • MEGA STICK 256 logo files

    Hello,
    I just bought a MSI MEGA STICK 256 and by mistake I deleted all the logo files from root directory .
    It is possible one of you to send to me these files if you have them anymore? I don't know the pictures format or if it is possible to get them from the web.
    Thanks a lot.
    Relu.

  • What can the file path tell me about a photo?

    I am a Police Detective.  I used a Cellebrite UFED to dump an Iphone 4.  I am interested in a few images on the phone.  I'm curious what the file path can tell me about the image. I also noticed that there are two versions of each image, an original and another duplicate photo.  Here are the paths of the original photos -
    1. "Path: /PhotoStreamsData/1322802356/101APPLE/"
    2. "Path: /PhotoStreamsData/1322802356/101APPLE/"
    Here are the paths of the dupplicate photos -
    1. "Path: /PhotoData/Thumbnails/V2/PhotoStreamsData/1322802356/101APPLE/IMG_1435"
    2. "Path: /PhotoData/Thumbnails/V2/PhotoStreamsDAta/1322802356/101APPLE/IMG_1436"
    Thanks in advance

    You're not looking at original photos. You're looking at photos streamed to the phone from PhotoStream. They may or may not have been taken on the phone. They may have been taken or saved to another iOS device or to a Mac or PC, or they may have been shared with the owner of the phone.
    The thumbnails are (obviously) thumbnails... small versions of photos scaled to view multiple pictures at once for easy navigation.
    Basically, the information above tells you absolutely nothing of any value at all.

  • Can AVCHD files be not copied when imported?

    When I import AVCHD files they are copied even though in the preferences I have selected "Leave files in place" and I leave that option checked in the import dialog. Is there any way to prevent AVCHD files from being copied?
    Other types of files are not copied when I import them.

    My exact specifications and work process:
    I use two separate video cameras. One is a Panasonic HDC-TM900K; the other is a Panasonic HDC-TM700K. I record in AVCHD onto SanDisk 32 GB SD cards.
    When filming is complete, I copy the entire contents of each separate SD card into its own folder, labelled according to camera and capture date.
    In the past, this has allowed me to import into FCP 10.0.x and work directly with the AVCHD files without having to transcode or copy them. I have used this exact process dozens of times since the release of FCP 10.0.x.
    Just this most recent time, after upgrading to FCP 10.1, while importing the same AVCHD files from the same SD cards and the same video cameras, the option to "leave files in place" was disabled.
    I do understand that FCP 10.1 uses "Libraries" to organize media, and that this is a major change in how it organizes media files. I figured that this change was responsible for the difference in behavior.
    I was hoping there was a way to continue to work with AVCHD card folders without having to copy or transcode.

  • Can relative file paths be used in export presets?

    Hello,
    I currently use a folder structure in Lightroom that looks like:
    YYYYMMDD-Event
    -->Original
    -->Selects
    -->Output
    I copy original files into YYYYMMDD-Event/Original/, do basic corrections and culling, and export to YYYYMMDD-Event/Selects/.  I do the same thing when exporting from Selects to Output...  I have tried using the "Same Folder as Original Photo" with a subfolder of "../Selects", but i get an illegal character message.  Is there a way to use relative paths in export presets?  I'm not against using publishing services to accomplish this, but I am having the same problem...
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    @Designer1976 – if you place an AI logo in InDesign and move that placed logo to a CC Library, it should behave like any other image you move to a CC Library. Other people who have access to your CC Library could place the logo, print it, export to PDF, if the file is available on a mutual network drive or a cloud drive like Dropbox etc. And of course, if the loaded file is synched which can take a moment, if you just moved it to a remote drive in the cloud.
    I tested this with eps file types.
    AI files (PDFs with AI code embedded) placed in InDesign should make no difference.
    However:
    1. If I placed an eps file in InDesign
    2. Moved the eps file to my Dropbox account
    3. Came back to InDesign
    4. Relinked the placed eps with the one in my Dropbox
    (all good now in the perspective of an InDesign document)
    I was not able to add that relinked eps file to my CC Library.
    By trying I only heard a "blip" or so. And nothing was added.
    To make it work, I first had to:
    1. Save the InDesign document
    2. Close the document (maybe optional, can't remember)
    3. Reopen the document (maybe optional, can't remember)
    Then I could add the placed eps to my CC Library.
    After that it worked like it should.
    Not as seamless as it should be…

  • MEGA STICK 520 Firmware update?

    Hi, well I´been searching and reading this forum for quite some time and I haven´t found answers to this questions and I though that maybe someone did, so here it is:
    I own a MEGA STICK 520 and I found a firmware update MS5520v0.2.0_FW.zip (2005-8-17) but I want to know exactly what does it changes, so if someone did the update, what does it do? And did you have any problems installing it? because I´ve read too many threads about players dying or allmost.
    Is it the first firmware update? cause aparently for what i´ve read a lot of firmware with problems were solved with new versions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bherno
    Ps: sorry for my english, i´m from argentina. and please don´t answer me "just do it man!", because it cost me a lot of money and i can´t afford to kill it. I have two good reasons for doing the update, it´s really annoying that the player starts reproducing an album in the middle when it is prefectly organiced (in fact if you go manually to the first track it will play perfectly fine), and that the volume increases exponentialy.

    The latest firmware feature is more little bug, thus please update the latest F/W (v0.2.0)!!
    Update items is as follows:
    1. Fixed bug: When manage “playlist” and power off, after power on “playlist” will be disorder.
    2. Fixed bug: The file name will be cut under “playlist” mode.
    3. Fixed bug: When didn’t use a long time, the screen wasn’t display.
    Please do according to firmware update procedure of the following:
    Mega stick firmware update process:
    1. Please download and install the latest firmware and driver!!(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/ia/ia/pro_ia_detail.php?UID=605)
    2. After firmware unzipping, it will show some files, please replace driver installation files (C:\Program Files\MSI\MS-5520)
    3. Please press sustained “play key” first (While mega stick can't be recognized by PC please add this procedure), then plug your mega stick 520 in your PC.
    4. Please go to "start" (below left corner) and enter "programs" and choose "MSI MS-5520" update now!!!
    5. As you update firmware that you can select "format data area" and after update success, you can release of your finger. (While mega stick can't be recognized by PC please add this procedure)
    Please note: While mega player can't be recognized by PC, please don’t put battery with update firmware.
    Hope to solve your doubt!!

  • Using AppleScript/Automator to get file path and create AFP hyperlink

    Hi All,
    A colleague has asked for a service (contextual menu item in Finder) to get a selected item's remote (afp://) file path and copy it to the clipboard...  Pretty sure I've got that part down. 
    What I need advice on is how to make the resulting pasted file path into a serviceable hyperlink.  AFP keeps telling me there was an error connection to the server....  Does the copied path have to include mounting commands and user credentials for this to work??
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Hi Richard - here's the script:
    tell application "Finder"
              set sel to the selection as text
              set TempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
              set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
              set sel to text items of sel
              set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%20"
              set sel to sel as string
              set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
    set the clipboard to "file://" & POSIX path of sel
    end tell

  • Can no longer move or copy files between drives (not a newbie issue!)

    Copying and moving files between internal and external devices, and external to external devices is no longer working.
    *For the first time in my life, I get a "Circle with a Bar through it" when attempting to move or copy files.*
    This doesn't happen between the two internal drives at all (though I'm worried it might start). It happens between two HFS+J devices as well as HFS+J and FAT32 devices. I can delete files, create folders, and in some instances where things are acting funny, copy to, but not from the device. A noticed side effect that is now happening is that I can no longer move drive icons (CDs, DVDs, HDs) to their upper-right hand corner position on the desktop, if they didn't start there. They don't drop there, just staying where they originally sat (under a list of desktop shortcuts and files). It does not matter if the drives are USB or Firewire, and this never happened previous to about a month ago.
    I have done all the basic stuff -- verify/repair drives, reboot multiple times, mount & dismount, change connection ports, backed up-reformatted-and restored the smallest drive, fixed preferences (not at all relevant), Disk Warrior repair the devices, set all permissions to R/W, check all device related infos, researched on-line for a week... Nothing. I have even taken the devices to PCs, where they work perfectly, and as expected.
    This issue is apparently either a corruption, or a bug induced by Software Update, in the part of the system that handles files and file structures, or possibly the _USB and Firewire_ interfaces.
    I just need to know where all those relevant parts are in the system folders, so I can attempt to restore them from a backup previous to the last "Software Update," (to be sure. And to bring this one step closer to being solved).
    A system restore really is not an option, as that would require nearly two weeks of re-tweaking everything from the system to every piece of software included (updating the system about 10 times via software update, reinstalling 90% of the actual software packages... and then updating those multiple times, looking-up all the serials that get killed, etc.)
    I have to correct this fast, as we need to move the files from the work drives to the archive drives before we run out of room. So any help would be very appreciated... even if you only know where a few of the system components are located (it just might be one of those, causing the issue).
    ---TIA

    {The last link in this post is most relevant, except for your recent finding.}
    The reference was to the User permissions, per each; as when these
    become corrupted, the simple 'repair disk permissions' and other
    basic duties do not find an error with them. That is because there is
    nothing really wrong with them from that standpoint.
    Another odd error can happen if one is resizing partitions in an Intel
    based Mac, and also if one has or had a BootCamp partition and
    wanted to reclaim space. But not always. Thankfully, the only time
    I tried Windows on a Mac, the media install disc was corrupted so
    it just didn't happen. That was Virtual PC and Windows on PPC.
    Tiger brought with it the ability to non-destructively resize partitions.
    However, it was not thought to be successful in non-Intel based Macs.
    The discussion on that matter came up a few years ago, so someone
    has undoubtably tried that in a PPC and reported findings online.
    When file sharing between user-account created content runs amok,
    then the system(s) will not allow the content to be moved or shared.
    So, if any shared user-account created content (including drives
    initialized or handled without permissions ignored, clones wrong,
    etc) are not the problem, then how does one explain these wrong
    ful action circles-with-lines, or action disallowed warning symbols?
    There must be a simpler answer. Do you have cats which have
    access to your computers in the off-hours? They do keyboard.
    Some have been thought to have technical skills outside of the
    usual coy and cute play-acting people think they are limited to.
    I'm sticking to the cats theory for now; the time is 3:21AM here
    and I only am up to get a drink and look outside at +5°F. calm.

  • Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

    I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
    If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
    Any ideas?

    CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
    In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
    If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.

  • [SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 8 using grub2. invalid EFI file path

    English is not my native language. Please excuse typing errors.
    I have just successfully installed Arch linux with grub2 as its boot manager. I
    followed the arch beginner guide. I've used grub before and I'm familiar with
    it, so chose to use grub instead for efistub. I installed os-prober and
    ran grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. The problem now is that I recieve
    an error when I try to boot windows 8. I have two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb)
    and I believe both are EFI-systems.
    However, it's not very important for me to use grub, so if booting into windows
    8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
    The computer is ASUS ux32vd with a hybrid disk with 25GB on the SSD and 500GB on
    the hard drive. I believe the SSD part is used by Windows.
    This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
    error: can't find command `drivemap'.
    error: invalid EFI file path.
    Press any key to continue...
    Then I tried to follow this post
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
    entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
    error: unspecified search type.
    error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found

    I gave up trying to make grub work, so I uninstalled grub and deleted all the grub files I could find.
    # pacrem grub-efi-x86_64
    # rm -fr /boot/grub
    That last one I came to regret later on. So I installed rEFInd using the archlinux beginners guide. When I then tried to boot into windows It told me that /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod was not found. I then reinstalled grub-efi-x86_64 and copied /usr/lib/grub/x86_64 to /boot/grub. Now everything works fine.

    8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
    The EFI stub loader is a Linux-only boot loader; however, it is possible to use the EFI stub loader in conjunction with a separate boot manager, such as rEFInd or gummiboot. In such a configuration, you'd use the boot manager to select the OS to boot (Windows or Linux, and possibly the specific Linux kernel), and the boot loader (the Windows loader or the EFI stub loader built into a specific kernel) will then take over booting the OS. In Arch, this is often easier to configure than is GRUB, since GRUB is very complex and its automated tools to help with setting things up often get it wrong.
    This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
    error: can't find command `drivemap'.
    error: invalid EFI file path.
    Press any key to continue...
    The "drivemap" command in GRUB is generally used when booting a BIOS-mode boot loader, and in fact your "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" GRUB entries are both built as for BIOS-mode Windows installations -- but the fact that your disks both use GPT means that Windows won't boot in BIOS mode on your computer. (This is one of the many things that the GRUB setup scripts can get wrong.)
    Then I tried to follow this post
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
    entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
    error: unspecified search type.
    error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
    Press any key to continue...
    Both your "Windows 8" and "Windows 82" entries refer to an EFI boot loader file called EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on your EFI System Partition (ESP). This should be correct, but your Boot Info Script output doesn't show any evidence of such a file. Sometimes Boot Info Script misses such things, so you may want to check it just to be sure. Your ESP is /dev/sda1, and it looks like it's being mounted at /boot/efi by default, so check for the /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft directory tree, and for /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi in particular. If that file isn't present, then something is wrong -- perhaps you mistakenly erased the ESP when you installed Linux, thus wiping out the Windows boot loader; or perhaps the file was accidentally deleted somewhere along the way. (Note that on FAT, which the ESP uses, case is irrelevant, and in fact case varies between the filenames reported by Boot Info Script and what's recorded in your configuration files.)
    You do have another boot loader file that may be a duplicate of the Windows boot loader: EFI/BOOT/bkpbootx64.efi. This filename is generally created by Ubuntu's "Boot Repair" tool, which IMHO can do as much harm as good, especially on a system that's not booting Ubuntu. If you ran this tool, though, it's conceivable that bkpbootx64.efi is a copy of the Windows boot loader, so copying it to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi might get things working. OTOH, the Windows boot loader relies on other files to do its job, so if they're not present, copying the Windows boot loader to its original location won't be sufficient.
    If you can't get things working based on the preceding suggestions, I recommend you run a Windows repair tool. These are accessible from a Windows recovery disc. Such disc images are readily available on the Internet, but I don't happen to have any links handy. Try Microsoft's own site; images obtained from random third-party sites might contain malware. Once you've done this, chances are the computer will boot directly into Windows. You'll then need to either restore GRUB as the default boot loader or install another boot loader or boot manager.  You can use the Windows "bcdedit" command to do the former, as in:
    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\arch-grub\grubx64.efi
    You'll need to type this from an Administrator Command Prompt window.

  • Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

    Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
    I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
    I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg  The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
    Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
    Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

  • Copying and Pasting file paths in iChat

    Hi all,
    Since upgrading some of our machines at the office to Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and iChat 5.0.3 we are having a strange issue that I hope someone has some insight into.
    When all of the machines at our office ran Leopard and iChat 4, we used to send linkable file paths to folders on our server to one another via iChat so we could avoid having to write "go to Jobs, then to Current, then Posted, and the file is in there."
    We would achieve this by opening up a firefox window, then dragging a folder from our server into the window. It would generate a filepath that looked like "file:///Volumes/Server/Jobs/New/transfer/" in the URL bar which could be copied and pasted into iChat and would appear as a linkable URL. Then we started using a program called Get File Path by Alpha Omega Software (http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/), a great drag and drop app which did the same thing with great results.
    On machines that run Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and iChat 5.0.3 neither of these tricks will work anymore. The message returns an alert saying that the message couldn't be delivered, and that an "AIM service error occurred."
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Has ichat changed the way it pastes text into message windows? These tricks were real timesavers, and it is annoying they are no longer working.
    As an aside, the port number in iChat is 5190 on all machines, those that work and those that don't. This probably has nothing to do with it, but it is a little extra info.
    Thanks in advance,
    Adrian

    Hi,
    I did test this (I got distracted from looking for the thread to post to it).
    I tested with A Google ID and a Jabber ID (one on Each computer) and could send the Text and it appeared as a Live link and showed where the file was.
    It did not matter which was sending (10.6.4 or 10.5.8)
    I tested with two AIM based Logins.
    As you have stated 10.6.4/iChat 5.0.3 will not send to 10.5.8/iChat 4.0.9
    10.5.8/iChat 4.0.9 can send to 10.6.4/iChat 5.0.3
    I double checked firewalls. (Both allowing iChat)
    I checked the router (allowing all ports on Local Traffic).
    I did find this in a Console Message (on the 10.6.4 computer) though:-
    Based on this info I tried deleting com.apple.ichatAgent.plist and starting iChatAgent (I used Force Quit in Activity Monitor and restarted iChat)
    This did not improve things.
    I have sent Feedback
    9:00 PM Monday; November 1, 2010
    Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

  • Mega Stick 511 (1GB) - Large files are deleted!

    Hi there!
    My problem is that when trying to store large files in my Mega Stick, they magically dissapear!
    For example:  I copy a large '.avi' file (let's say 700Mb).  Then, while travelling I listen to some music.  Finally, when I plug the Mega Stick to the computer, the '.avi' file no longer exists in it!!!
    Any help will be apreciated...
    Thanks

    I solved it. By upgrading driver and firmware, but in a correct way, which is described in many topics and a bit here:
