Missing/Disappearing Files

I had some of my .NEF photo files highlighted and something happened to where over 100 of them disappeared (even images that were not highlighted). They are not in the trash. I searched some of the specific file names and they are not showing up in the Finder search engine. I tried to view files opened & modified today in Finder [to see if they had somehow saved under another file name] and they are not showing up there either.
It appears my laptop does not even recognize that they even existed.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated in regards to file recovery. [iPhoto & Time Machine have not been used]

If you maintain a backup, and review the proposed changes therein before each update, then you would be able to recover if this happens. Personally I have my iTunes library cloned over three drives and I have yet to see a file vanish that I didn't explicity delete from my library.

Missing Render files, won't play, General Error message

I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 on my Mac 1.8 Ghz Power PC G5, using Mac OS 10.4.10.
I just opened a Final Cut Pro project and got a message that several render files were offline. No idea how that happened, and I couldn't find them to reconnect. Now, when I try to play the video, it stops and a "General Error" message comes up.
I tried re-rendering the whole thing,and reconnected all my media files, but it still won't play. Any ideas on how to save my project?

There are just too many possibilities for us to start guessing. Try searching for GENERAL ERROR and MISSING RENDER FILES, both topics get posted often so you'll find several suggestions and possible causes. However, not many people bother to close their threads around here so there's no way to know if any of the information we passed on was of any help.
FCP 4 and 5 had the odd super-power to make files disappear as if they had never existed. General Error often indicates a corrupt project file so try to open one of your AutoSaves.

Missing itunes files

anybody have missing itunes files that you did not delete, but are all of a sudden gone. I have tried to find them in my itunes folder but they are missing.

I just ran across the same issue on my computer. I purchased an audiobook two days ago and I just went into iTunes this morning and the files are missing. The folders for it are still in my myMusic folder but the files are nowhere to be found. I have it synced to my ipod already but I fear that it will get deleted when I try to resynch. I have an active backup running on my pc to a network server and the server has the folders and not the files also. I'm kind of upset because I know that I didn't delete the files and now I can't even download them again. It also concerns me that other things in my library might start disappearing.
I'm running iTunes 7.4.3.1

Disappearing files on external hard drive?

Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum here, but I really need some insight into a huge problem I am having as of late.
I'm running a Macbook Pro, and have a Seagate External Hard Drive connected to it.
On the drive I have tons of movies, tons of music, and a bunch of photography.
About a week ago I noticed that one of the folders with my photography was empty. None of the hard drive space was changed, but upon opening the folder it contained no files, they had disappeared.
Now two days ago, I went to open up the expansion drive, and ALL of the files had disappeared. But again, no space on the hard drive has changed.
Weirdly enough, all of my music I have on that external i had previously added to my itunes library. When I open up itunes, I can play all my music, but when I open up the expansion drive, they have all disappeard ?!
I searched everywhere for an answer to this issue online but have not found anything to help me.
I'm a photographer and I have some major projects on there I need to get finished. If anyone could help me with this, I would be forever grateful !
Thank you !

I've been looking through a lot of this same issue here and elsewhere, and I'm appalled at the misdirection and finger-pointing that some people are throwing out. It is useful to run a Disk Repair, but when a file is missing, it's missing and you can't bring it back with a Disk Repair. Doing a Disk Repair might tell you that something was wrong with the directory structure that could have been involved in causing the files to disappear - but it doesn't help explain why files disappear when Disk Repair doesn't find anything wrong with the directory structure. And I've gone the extra step and used DiskWarrior to further test the drive.
I'm running Lion on my iMac. Everything is always kept up to date. I recently discovered many missing files in my external drive. Here's the scenario: Folder A contains folders B, C, and D. There are files in all of A, B, C, and D. Suddenly, all files in B, C, and D disappeared. A Disk Repair found nothing wrong with the drive.
I have been involved with some of my clients who were running Snow Leopard. One of them lost dozens of photos from iPhoto, the other lost several different kinds of files from different places. I carefully examined their systems and could find nothing wrong, and my job is to know how to find a problem with a Mac and fix it. I have also ruled out anything that might have been user error.
So, as far as I'm concerned, this condition of disappearing files has been around for a while. If Apple doesn't want to acknowledge it, it's only because they haven't experienced it themselves - and nothing that happens in the field can ever be verified or reproduced on command.
The one and only way I know of that would help track this down is a full Time Machine backup of the drives involved. In my case, I would need a 5TB drive. And since files disappear from external drives as well as internal drives, it would also be necessary to have multiple Time Machine drives to swap in and out periodically in case the OS decides to wipe out files in Time Machine. Then, rather than wait to discover that a file is missing, the content (structure) of the latest Time Machine backup would have to be compared to previous backups and a report provided showing the differences. This can be done fairly easily using a shell script - something I am quite experienced doing - and it might even be turned into a utility app. Something for me to work on. But even with this, it might take months before the user notices that the report is showing missing files that should not be missing. Human interaction is required for such a report. And on a daily basis, the user will delete files, so taking notice of which ones that are really missing will require some intense scrutiny and awareness by the user.
That said, Apple needs to step up its own analysis of disappearing files - and quickly. And this means acknowledging that such a thing actually happens.

DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers
MB

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!

How do I re-attach missing Illustrator files

APOLOGIES FOR CROSSPOSTING FROM INDESIGN FORUM (where I have not gotten any responses):
Thanks in advance for reading this!
I am converting an InDesign document to ePub and mobi. The document also exists as a PDF file (which, as you may know, can not be converted effectively to ePub).
The InDesign file has been supplied to me with missing Illustrator .ai links for charts and graphs. There are lo-res images in their places.
I could manually import individual charts from the PDF file into Illustrator, but there are dozens of them and relinking will be a huge job as it is. Any suggestions on how to transform all charts and graphs in the PDF file to .ai files OR import them directly into InDesign?
Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. My replies are in line:
1. how do you know the links are missing?
The "missing, click to relink" question mark appears in all InDesign charts and graphs. The ID links panel is all question marks.
2. how do you know the there are lo-res images in their place? (are they named as such? is your page display set to 'highest')
When I create an epub or mobi file, the graphics are blurred, placeholders for the intended artwork. I can anchor them, but they look pretty poor.
3. can you contact whoever made the source files to acquire the missing files?
I have tried (and tried and tried). Alas, this is a pro bono job for a UN development agency in Beijing, and no one can figure out where the files are (even though I found the a complete directory path to where they should be on SOMEONE'S computer).
4. you can PLACE the PDF pages diectly into indesign (crop to the charts) and then delete the lo-res files after using them as a reference for placement and size--yes a lot of work, but if you got to, then you got to.
At this point, if I can't come up with an alternative, I think it will be easiest to select each chart and graph from the PDF, then "edit using AI...", save them individually as AI files and relink them. I was praying for a more simple solution (other than finding those missing .ai files).
There is an extension, but it's $100 and I'll probably never need to use it again. I'd spring for it if I was sure it would save me much time.
Again, thanks for your reply.

Hi,
try this forum: WebCenter Portal
Frank

I keep on getting the message "missing .dll file" when I try to install Itunes on Windows 7 what is wrong ?

I am using Windows 7 (64) and keep on getting the message of "missing .dll files" after I attempt to install the latest version of ITunes. I attempted to install an earlier version and had the same results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes to no avail. I have queried this message on Google and found little to go by.
Can anyone help from here ?

This has just happened to me - again. Can't think what caused it. I uninstalled Quicktime a little while ago, maybe connected? I don't know. Uninstalling iTunes, or repairing, or a fresh iTunes install does not help
Even if you keep downloading and putting the dll files it keeps asking for in the sysWOW64 and/or System 32 folder, Apple Mobile Device Support will not not 'start' from Services.
Anyway, as well as itunes, you need to also un-install Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Bonjour, then reinstall the latest iTunes to get it all working again

Unable to install ituns on windows 7 64 missing .dll file

Unable to install ituns on windows 7 64. Installer states missing .dll file.

Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
Then:
1. Download and install WinRAR.
2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

Bridge CS5.1 – Disappearing File Names (Now You Don't See It All)

Bridge CS5.1. Lion 10.7.2. 27" iMac native display at native resolution.
For some reason, in Lion (but not Snow Leopard) Bridge cuts-off the bottom line of long file names (see the screenshot). Irritating. Difficult if I'm trying to distinguish between ‘Long File Name (1)’ and ‘Long File Name (2)’ where the (1) and the (2) have partly disappeared off the bottom, hidden under the bottom scroll-bar.
It seems to be something to do with the window resizing as Bridge, whilst not adapting the size of the thumbnails to fit the window size, produces a scroll-bar instead (see bottom right hand corner of screenshot). This doesn't happen in Snow Leopard.
I've tried fiddling with all the parameters which could effect Bridge's window display, but to no avail.
You can add this to the the other display problem with Adobe Camera Raw (see previous postings). Nice if Adobe could fix this too.
Sorry, this screenshot is hopelessly and incomprehensibly small owing to Adobe’s image size upload restrictions – so you’ll have to trust me on the disappearing file names and the scroll-bar.

Well, gentleman (gentleman, I assume) your answers are of no real help to me unless you have Lion to test this on. There is no relevant comparison to make since I have already established that this works correctly in Snow Leopard.
Yes, it is a man, I leave the qualification Gentle to you
I was more curious to the solutions you have done and when something does work on snow leopard and not in Lion will not automatically need to be qualified as a bug unless you tried different solutions.
Have you tried to delete the 'lastusedworkspace' file from the user library, resetting preferences and even deleted the plist file from the user library prefs? And did you try the default film strip mode. Or other default workspaces, is it only your own customized workspace that shows this behavior? What have you set as additional info lines in the Bridge prefs.
If it seems a bug you should report it as such at Adobe, this is still a user to user forum. But with Lion still in development and wide spread known as a bit buggy it might also be wise to throw the same bug report at Apple.

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"

I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"when I try to convert a file into a pdf. I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but I continue to get the message. I am able directly print file, but there are some errors in the pages, but some of them have font errors. Please advise.

Hey Suzanne,
Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using and what kind of file are you trying to convert to PDF.
If you are using an MS Office application, then PDF Maker has to be an active plug-in for the PDF conversion.
Have you tried using Print to PDF option from the File menu for the same?
Please check and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

Work around to missing vmdk files

I have seen the "missing vmdk files" thread. But I also see people has got this up and running. While they fix it, is there a work around? I need to demo this next weel. Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks
Sam

Okay I figured it out. From the RedHat site, download one of the older Disc 2 images RHEL3..1.4 and it works. Don't down load the 10GR2 version of DISC 1.

Constantly restoring iPod due to a missing sync file

iPod model: Ipod Nano (3rd Gen)
softwear Version: 1.3.3 (current)
Format: Windows
Capacity: 8 GB
itunes Version: 11.0.4.4
For the past few days I've been having a very annoying issue. Whenever I plug in my iPod It tells me that it's unable to sync to itunes because my iPod is missing the sync files. I find that odd. This is the first time in the 6 years -almost 7- that I've owned this device, that I've experienced this problem. Restarting the computer, unplugging and replugging the iPod back into the computer and trying a different computer all produces the same error.
Here's what happens.
-Plug iPod in
-Itunes starts syncing my iPod.
-itunes gives me an error saying my ipod can't be synced because if missing a file needed to sync my ipod to itunes.
-iPod is disconnected from iTunes -by itunes- yet my computer can still detect it as a removeable device 95% of the time.
I don't understand why It's doing this. I always disconnect my ipod from a computer once it's finished syncing -once both itunes and the ipod both say it's finished- by selecting the option on itunes and by selecting the safely remove hardware option in the taskbar.
In order to restore my iPod, i have to click the ipod button when it pops up in itunes and hit restore before thhe error message comes up. It's a pain in the but that i have to do this every time i connect it to my computer. Is there any long term solutions for this?

Hey TidalWavesLion,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This error usually relates to a missing file for photo syncing. A good troubleshooting step would be to restore the iPod, then try to sync each type of media at a time (i.e. sync music only, then sync photos only, etc). This will help us isolate the issue.
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697
Symptoms
In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
- This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
This article outlines steps to resolve these issues...
Thanks,
