Migrating data failing on one file and stopping?

Hi
I'm trying to migrate my iTunes library to a new MBP I've bought.
I'm following all the good advice in these forums about using consolidate library to do this. But the trouble is, I leave it doing the 4-5 hour operation, only to come back and find it's failed about an hour in on a particular file and then stopped. I see this as a OS X / Finder issue as all steps from iTunes forums have been followed.
The error is 'iTunes cannot read or write...' on a particular track.
Other than deleting this track (which won't necessarily help if this happens again on a different track another hour in) how can I just force it to finish the job and discard broken files if necessary.
OR, how can i get Finder to tell me first which are the suspect files so I can remove or reimport before migrating?
I've tried the obvious things of Disk Verify and Repair (no errors), and the files play fine in their current location.
Thanks in advance....
Dan.

according to that message it's an itunes problem not a finder problem. it says that itunes can't read some track. this means that the audio/video in that track is corrupt not the file itself in finder. finder should be able to copy/move that file without any issues. you can try that.
I suggest you delete that track from itunes library and retry library consolidation.

Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

Mount_smbfs fails for one file server but works on another

I have a simple terminal .command file that i've written and added to my login items. this script mounts two SMB file shares from different servers (win2003). this script has been working for over a month now it fails for one server and works fine for the second one.
script looks like this:
mkdir /Users/me/Desktop/fs1
mkdir /Users/me/Desktop/fs2
mount_smbfs //winserv1/fs1$ /Users/me/Desktop/fs1
mount_smbfs //winserv2/fs2$ /Users/me/Desktop/fs2
When it runs it should use my kerberos credentials to authenticate me to the winserv1 but seems to fail and then prompts for password. If I enter the password in the terminal window it fails.
the mount_smbfs command for fs2 on winserv2 works fine and uses my kerberos credentials.
i looked through the system.log for clues and found:
Oct 8 12:11:06 is3018 login[2009]: USER_PROCESS: 2009 ttys000
Oct 8 12:11:08 is3018 gssd-agent[2017]: Error returned by svcmach_gss_init_seccontext:
then I am prompted for password in terminal (which should not happen). i enter password and it fails
then console log responds with:
Oct 8 12:11:08 is3018 gssd-agent[2017]: Major error = 851968: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information
Oct 8 12:11:08 is3018 gssd-agent[2017]: Minor error = 100004:
Oct 8 12:11:33 is3018 BBDaemon[50]: IOBSDNameMatching returned a NULL dictionary.
Oct 8 12:11:33: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

Oct 8 12:11:33 is3018 login[2009]: DEAD_PROCESS: 2009 ttys000
the cryptic log file entries don't mean much to me - anyone have any ideas what might be happening?

Turns out that our network time server was having some problems and the the two servers had drifted several minutes off the correct time. Once the time on each server was corrected my kerberos authentication issues resolved.

Auditing failed access to files and folders in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot audit the failed access to files and folders on my server. I'm trying to replace a unix-based NAS with a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 solution so I can use my current audit tools (the 'nix NAS
has basically none). I'm looking for a solution for a small remote office with 5-10 users and am looking at Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (no props yet, but on a Buffalo appliance). I specifically need to audit the failure of a user to access
folders and files they are not supposed to view, but on this appliance it never shows. I have:
Enabled audit Object access for File system, File share and Detailed file share
Set the security of the top-level share to everyone full control
Used NTFS file permissions to set who can/cannot see particular folders
On those folders (and letting those permissions flow down) I've set the auditing tab to "Fail - Everyone - Full Control - This folder, subfolders and files"
On the audit log I only see "Audit Success" messages for items like "A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access (Event 5145) - but never a failure audit (because this user was not allowed access by NTFS permissions).
I've done this successfully with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 w/SP1 and am wondering if anybody has tried this with the Windows Storage Server version (with success of course). My customer wants an inexpensive "appliance" and I thought this new
variant of 2008 was the ticket, but I can't if it won't provide this audit.
Any thoughts? Any of you have luck with this? I am (due to the fact I bought this appliance out of my own pocket) using the WSS "Workgroup" flavor and am wondering if this feature has been stripped from the workgroup edition of WSS.
TIA,
--Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,
The steps to setup Audit on a WSS system should be the same as a standard version of Windows Server. So please redo the steps listed below to see if issue still exists:
Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
[1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
for "Audit object access."
[2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.

There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
Use of local variables to populate an array.
Cannot insert values into an empty array.
What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

Since I updated my Creative Cloud desktop App to its last version, my files are no longer synchronized. I received the "fail to synch files" and "server error" messages.

Hi, Jeff.
I'm not on a network and I didn't change anything on my secutiy setups, so I got in touch to the customer support. They checked my computer and found nothing wrong, so they uploded some log files to analyse the case. I'm waiting for a answer.
Thanks for the tips.

Why do my playlists play one song and stop?

My audiobook playlists play one track and stop. They are all checked. If I highlight them and push play, it plays the first and stops. It was working fine this morning, and my music playlists work fine. Memory isn't a problem, and everything I have is legal. Everything is fully updated.

Not that I have ever seen or heard of. Sorry.

Compare data from 2 text files and output match

Hi all,
I need some advice.
Firstly in BinaryCode.txt the data is as such:
Replace BinaryCode0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Replace BinaryCode0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Replace BinaryCode1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
Replace BinaryCode1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
the first line in the text file is the header. So I need to check if the names in the second column (BinaryCode0 or BinaryCode1)appear in the Timed_Sets.txt file.
The data in Timed_Sets.txt is as such:
BinaryCode0,6,40,.........................
BinaryCode0,7,40,.........................
BCName1,0,20,.............................
BCName1,1,20,.............................
For example since BinaryCode0 is a match I will output the entire row in Timed_Set.txt to another array.
I have been working on a program but I don't get the expected output.
The text files and the VI are attached.
I appreciate your kind assistance in the matter.
Thank You
Regards

If I understood correctly what the output should be then what you basically need to do is to walk through the column in BinaryCode.txt and for each unique value pull out the corresponding rows from Timed_Sets.txt. There's a variety of ways to do this, depending on how much data you have and whether or not you can use any kind of prior knowledge as to the actual file content (such as the names of the keys being searched). Attached is one way. Modify as needed.

Migrating data from Sun ONE directory server into openLDAP

Hi,
I was to migrate the data from Sun ONE directory server into openldap. Has anybody done this or know about this. Can you please share the steps that needs to be done.
NOTE: I have exported the data into LDIF file but when I run with ldapadd into the open ldap
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #1 invalid per syntax
Are there specific schemas that i need. Where can I find them?
Thanks

Why would you want to migrate data into an OpenLDAP server ?Good Question, let me explain you my problem with Sun DS.
No Question DS is the better product (even Red Hat realized this).
Problem: DS is not a base Solaris 10 OS component, for patch support
you need some additional plan, now sun marketing nightmare comes ;o)
Every year service plans are changed (want a SJES or a DS or a DSEE ?)
so use solaris with OpenLDAP, or linus with NSDS.
Sun please give us a Solaris Core Component called LDAP Server (no need for trillions of entries).

When I try to download Firefox for Windows, it unzips the file and says it cannot find 7-Zip file and stops download

I have windows 7 on a desktop. I had firefox before which worked fine then I attached a router to my computer that may have been defective and may have damaged the computer. I took the router off. Firefox suddenly reverted back to the start up page of when you are new to firefox, e.g. here's how it works, and stopped loading my normal home page. Even though I entered the tabs I wanted for my startup home page every time I shut down my computer it went back to the beginning thinking I had only just loaded it. I did lots of system diagnostics but nothing appeared to be wrong with my computer so I uninstalled Firefox, restarted, then downloaded it again. When I download it, it says run or save and I choose run. Then it extracts the file and a message comes up that says "7-Zip. Cannot find file. Then nothing more happens. No files are downloaded to my computer and it's as though I never tried to download it.

SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.

System exec, How I say to open one file and make operation in external program?

Hi,
I got called an external program with the system exec.vi, but i would like the program open the file saved in the other window, i can get the file path, but how Can I put the file path in the external program and the program open the file and I tell (in this case compile), since i open one file code c and only i must to open and say to the program 'compile' and then close external program.
Any help?. Thanks.

Hi Fonsi,
System Exec.vi will allow you to run commands like launching a program easily but it is difficult and many times not possible to execute commands within an application.
A better way maybe to approach this though ActiveX. Please look at the following example that uses ActiveX to communicate with Excel.
Writing Rows to Excel 97 and Excel 2000 Using ActiveX
If you are not familiar to ActiveX and LabVIEW, please read the document below:

I hope this
helps.

Acquiring data continuously with a start and stop trigger

I am currently acquiring data continuously (1000 samples at 5k/s) using a start trigger to start the acquisition and stopping the acquisition with a digital line. The problem with this is that I want the acquisition to stop immediately on a trigger, in otherwords I don't want it to finish with 500 or 200 samples of useless data. I am using a PCI 6024 E. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The trick will be to minimize the number of post-trigger scans that will occur after your stop trigger. The stop (reference) trigger requires a minimum of 2 post-triggered scans. Therefore, the way to stop your acquisition as soon as possible is to configure your stop trigger to have only 2 post-triggered scans.
I've included a little bit of code to illustrate this in LabVIEW 7.0. The number of post-trigger scans will equal the buffer size less the number of pre-trigger scans. Since the minimum number of post-triggered scans is 2, we'd have to set the number of pre-trigger scans to the buffer size less 2. This is wired as the minimum number of pre-trigger scans acquired input to the AI Control.vi in the example.
This should do what you're
after. Best of luck to you as you get this all put together.

How do I organize my 3 files to be one file and not lose music from my external drive???

If given proper instructions, I know I can reorganize this but i'm afraid that I'm going to lose my music. I had "someone" that said they knew what they were doing move the music from my laptop to my external hard drive and they created a NEW file rather than the existing one created by iTunes. They wiped out my iTunes and now I get question marks and now I have doubles, three different files, it's stressing me out. My iPod (80 GB) is full and it doesn't even have the same music as iin the files or on iTunes. All I would like to do is see one file, see all my music in iTunes, and even though I'll have to keep my external connected, I want to know I can click play it it will just go. PLEASE...help.

PDF is the worst possible format to try to convert to something else -- it is intended to be the end of the line, and the results of conversion are usually a mess.
I suggest you do a google search on "convert pdf to epub" and try out the various options.
