Messed up my photo location, how to fix?

Hi,
Running Lightroom 1.4 on a Mac, 10.6.2. I have imported many many photos into Lightroom using the copy method. I incorrectly placed them in the wrong spot, not inside my photo archive. Now they are sitting in my hard drive in the wrong spot and I want to get them into the my archive. How do I go about doing that and not messing up Lightroom? I fear making things much much worse.
Thank you very much for your help.

Read "be smart and beat the system" on the bottom of this page: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_tracking_files/locate-lost-files.htm
That even describes LR 1.

My web site is messed up, don't know how to fix.

made some minor changes to my web site the other day, today I
go to check it, and it's messed up. Comes up with that blank look.
Not sure what I did to mess it up. I mainly deleted folders no
longer needed, and made a few changes to the "darn dates" listed on
my Adobe web gallery! How can I create a gallery without dates on
the photos?
Biggest question, how do I get my site back to normal?

It appears that you deleted files the actually ARE needed...
All of the iframe windows on your home page are looking for
pages that
aren't available.
You'll need to restore them or replace them with like named
pages.

IPhoto messed up my photos. How do I get them back?

I inserted my SD card and it imported half and the other half turned out to be blank. This has happened with other photos from over a year ago, I just went back to go look through them all and they are ALL blank square blocks....WHERE ARE MY PICTURES?

Most likely your library is corrupted some how. Launch iPhoto while holding command and option and rebuild your library, this may bring back the photos you can no longer see. Make sure you backup up first.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the last backup you had before the error presented itself.

Changed photo dates--how to fix

I bought a Mac and transferred all files. Now all of the photo dates have been changed to the date I transferred the files! Some of them shot on an actual camera came out OK, but almost all of them that had originally be shot on a cellphone had the dates changed.
Any ideas on how to correct or has Mac just screwed me. I can't backtrack all the dates.

Details help - what version of iPhoto - of the OS?
In any case the Mac has not "screwed" you - obviously for the photos that were properly formed everything is ok -
Some of them shot on an actual camera came out OK,
iPhoto (like all capable photo managers) gets the dates from the EXIF data put into the photo by the camera and if the phone is properly storing photo by the phone
You can correct dates using the Batch change date time command if the EXIF data is nonexistent and using the adjust change date/time command if the EXIF data is wrong (like a camera being set incorrectly)

ITunes re-mapped my music location - how to fix?

First, I do not have iTunes manage my music. I keep my files on a network mapped drive and copy them into iTunes.
For example, my music is on:
file://localhost/Volumes/mp3
Recently I moved my music to a new external storage unit with the same share name. I *thought* everything was ok as it could still find my music even with the other server shut down.
However, just today I realized that iTunes has renamed the path to all my music:
file://localhost/Volumes/mp3-1
I can't get this to change. OBviously you can't just edit the .XML file as the .itl file will just overwrite it.
So... how was iTunes able to change it once... and how can I set it back to mp3 without the "-1" appended?
(I've tried deleting the tracks and re-importing from export (which has the right share path) but it somehow still wants to go back to mp3-1 for most my library. somewhere, somehow, itunes is stuck thinking mp3-1 is valid. I need to get it to stop thinking that)
Thanks.

Basically I had a Windows 2008 server share set up with all my music files.   I'm moving my Exchange to the cloud, removing my Active Directory, and put all my files (including music) on a NAS box.    I basically re-created the same shares on the NAS box, sync'd the files over there, removed the old mapping and turned on the new one... all went perfect because it didn't point to a servername specifically iTunes was just fine.
I think along the way I turned on my old Windows box to get at something else and left it on.   My guess is at some point I rebooted my Mac and the mapping stuck.   Apparently when there is already one there, it will append the "-1" to the next.    Why iTunes decided to look at the second for some but not all files is a mystery that probably won't be solved here, though its worrysome.    (since that time I actually removed the shared on the WIndows box just in case I have to fire it up again)
I'm going the route of deleting the .itl file and re-importing the .XML.   We'll see if that fixes things.
I think at some point I might have to bite the bullet and let iTunes store and arrange my music.   Since I can remember I've used a network share and a specific naming convention for all my music... it will be tough to let iTunes take control.   I think if I do it will be much easier to avoid these types of things in the future.
Apple should let people (advanced users) modify the data in the .itl file to fix this type of screwup.   In their attempt to make things easy they basically make fixing mistakes impossible.

Xorg graphics are all messed up and glitchy (screenshots) How to fix?

I've set up a new system, but the graphics are super glitchy!
Here's what gdm (gnome) looks like when i enter run level 5 with an existing xorg.conf file:
and here's what it looks like without xorg.conf so settings are automatic:
With the first setup (xorg.conf included) there's no way to log in.
Without xorg.conf, you can see the loging windows and log in, and when you get to the desktop, the background remains all messed up just like at the login screen.
Any ideas what might be wrong? i'll be right back to post my xorg.conf

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes it. Does someone know how to fix this?

I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder and can see the original files and even copy them from Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes the HD, and when I try to work with the picture, it doesn't let me because it says that the master is in a volume that's offline. Does someone know how to fix this?

Just to clarify:
Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
Right click on the first image of the selection.
From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
Click it.

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

If your preferences keep getting messed up try this:   make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing on that page? In the meantime try this basic fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:

How to fix 'Unexpected error: Incorrect value: Location URL' in WSDL

Hi All,
Using SOAMANAGER transaction, I created a service ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC and its binding 'ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC_binding' using the Create Service option under the tab Configurations and using the web service definition 'ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC'. When I click on the link "Open WSDL document for selected binding" under the tab 'Overview', I get the following XML code in the popup window for the WSDL.
- <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

The XML code for nthe WSDL displays an error 'Unexpected error: Incorrect value: Location URL for subject IF '. It looks like the code could find the required URL. Please let me know how to fix this error.
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
In SOAMANAGER delete your "unexpected" service (endpoint).
Then create it again.
If same error will occurs - try to delete all definitions of this service (include sicf-transaction) and then create it completely again.
Hope it helps.
