Missing "file - save as"

Hi,
when I view a pdf file in a webbrowser (firefox) (both latest versions) I don't have the possibility to save the document like "file -> save as" with using a specific file name or folder.
What do I have to do?
Thanks a lot.

Are you using Firefox PDF viewer plugin? If yes, you can enable reader plugin by following the steps mentioned here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5093497#5093497

I miss File Save

Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong, but I really miss the File Save feature. Here's a typical scenario.
Open a project, make a bunch of edits, then decide that these edits are not taking me in a good direction so I would like to abandon them. HOW? Do I really have do cmd Z my way back to the beginning? That seems rather odd.
Perhaps there's a way I can use the multiple version feature of Lion? It's certainly not clear how that works with FCPX
Suggestions?

I have to think the next update will bring support for Lion's versioning functionality, which is exactly what you are looking for. Right now it isn't enabled.
In the meantime, you either need to manually make duplicates, or use Time Machine to take hourly snapshots.
Another option to keep in mind (and this is what I do frequently) is the auditions feature. Create a compound clip of the section you are going to make a bunch of edits to (I suppose you could also do this for the entire project as well). Then select the compound clip and "duplicate as new audition" (option-y). You can now open that compound clip in the timeline and make your edits. At any time you can switch back to how things were prior to these edits. Also at any time you can make another audition, so you can maintain your own "versioning" history.

I really, really miss "File-Save As..."

After upgrading to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion I find that the only way to do a "Save As..." of a document is to "browse all verisions", Restore, Duplicate, then select Save of the copied file, and select "Save As" in the dialog box that appears. That is WAY too many steps that in all previous versions of the Mac OS you just selected "Save As..." from the File menu. What were the Mac OS engineers thinking?? Please bring back "Save As..." from the File menu.

Have you tried those steps?
You missed the part where I had to "unlock" my newly created duplicate. Even on a newly-duplicated file in the Finder, there is no drop down window. The document closes immediately. I am given no option to rename the document. You only get the behaviour you describe after creating your duplicate in the application.
And what if I want to change the format? I don't want to create a Finder duplicate for that. Before, I could just do Save As, change the format, and type a new name. If I didn't want a new name, I could use the existing name with a new extension. That isn't possible in Lion because you always get the " copy" suffix. Not only is Duplicate/Save more steps to begin with, you must always re-type the file name. And to add insult to injury, when you change the format, Lion re-selects the entire file name, extension included. I can't even just start typing. I must now click in the file name to select just the base portion and type the new name.

Missing files - any way to save pics another way?

I've read through some of the other posts, but I haven't seen this addressed:
My camera automatically uploads pics to the Album Starter 3.2. I then let the program delete the pics from my camera. Then I got motiviated and cleaned up all my saved pics, moved them to folders, etc and deleted then reformated my media card.
Now, I can see 12 pics in the Album Starter, but they have the ripped red icon on the bottom. I tried using Recuva to search on my camera and computer - no luck.
Ok - so...because I can see them in the program - is there ANY way to copy the pic, or do something to get them out of the program? I'm afraid to close the Album Starter for fear that they'll then be gone forever! I've tried to save as, copy, etc...no luck. All I get is the "searching for missing file..".
Thanks for any help!
Heather

Ok I have been thinking about the downloading of my photos from my camera to my PC, you may have already found what I've found but here is what I've found:
When PS Album Starter Photo Downloader page comes up in the top right hand corner, Box 1, it already has the name of the device from which you are downloading your photos and the USB drive from which they are being obtained.
Below in Box 2 "Save Files: Location" it states the same location as the one you're downloading from, that is the USB you've plugged your camera into, so you are saving your photos back onto your camera. You need to change the save location to your C drive or USB memory stick.
The pictures you think have been deleted have been saved back onto your camera even though you deleted them when prompted!!
This is what I've found with my 'lost' photos and have, this morning managed to download them, again, from my camera.
Give this a go, I hope it works for you as it did for me.

Catalogs, Missing Files, and Question Marks for Beginners

Hello, fellow non-power-users. I just wanted to post something here that I've learned with my travails and travels using LightRoom 3. In the past, Adobe has paid me to write for them, and I'm a professional writer. So why am I doing this for free? Because I wish to heck I'd understood this stuff before I dove into LR. Somehow, even with reading a book on the program, I didn't really get it.
1) Most of the people who are kind enough to post and help on Adobe support and other forums on the Interwebs are power users of Lightroom. The great thing is, they often know what they're talking about. The bad thing is, many of them don't understand what it's like to be a non-power-user who really has no intention of becoming a power user. Be very, very careful before you try to take their advice about any large issue that might have serious consequences for your photos.
2) LR has about forty million ways to do things, so it can be overwhelming, and you may also receive lots of contradictory information about how to accomplish stuff. If you're like me---not a professional photographer, more a refugee from the annoying land of iPhoto who just needs a *little* more power and customization---you may have trouble streamlining, figuring out the few things you actually need the program to do for you. Try some introductory videos and tutorials, even books, but don't expect them to solve your real problems with the program.
3) Before you begin, grasp a few concepts:
     a. When you're working in LR, you're working with a "catalog." It shows you images of your photos, but these aren't really your photos. Your actual photos are *files* that live on your computer somewhere. Think of it as a slideshow projected on a wall: you can see the photos on the wall, but they aren't the "real photo." If you walked up to the wall and painted on the projection of a slide, the "real photo" file would not be changed. What LR does is keep track of those wall paintings for you, so if you wanted to print up a version of that slide and include your brush strokes, LR could do that for you. The catalog is a type of database.
     b. So where are those real photos, those files? Probably all over your computer in different places. You may want to consolidate them all in one place before you start using Lightroom. Here's why: once Lightroom thinks your "real photo" is in a certain place, it doesn't want you to move the "real photo" file. Say you have a photo called that someone sent in email. You put it on your desktop. Now you are tempted to drag-n-drop it onto Lightroom. DO NOT DO IT. Because someday, you might want that photo to not clutter up your desktop. You'll drag it to another folder on your hard drive, and BOOM, now Lightroom cannot find the photo.
You can't work on the photo from within Lightroom. You can't print it. Lightroom will show a question mark ? on its wall-projector slide of your photo file. Often when someone moves files on their computer, it's not a single file on a desktop. It's a bunch of things they are trying to organize. Adobe knows this, which is why they have a "find missing photos" command. They know you are likely to screw this up. The command will show you those missing files. You have to select them individually by hand and search your computer for them to relink. You can spend a lot of time relinking photos. It sucks. Really sucks.
     c. If you do need to move stuff, Lightroom does let you do it, but only from within the program. So, open up LR, and look in the left-hand column for an item called "Folders." (You will be in Library mode to make this happen.) You can move your "real photo" files around from within this area. It is a clunky process and an enormous pain in the butt.
     d. Rant time: For some reason, one of the most sophisticated and long-lived software companies in history, the developers that completely changed the worlds of art, design, photography, and publishing--you got it, Adobe--have not been able to solve this problem and chase down your real photo files if you moved them from within the Finder, the way you normally move files on a computer. Go figure. (Irrelevant note: I've been using their products since Pagemaker 1.0 and it's sort of astonishing that they've never solved this problem, in LR or InDesign or elsewhere. It's like publishing a magazine using Quark in 1995, rushing to find the messed-up links before you hand-carry your ZIP drive over to the printer. Hee hee.)
4) Decide whether you want to divide your photos into a few separate catalogs, or whether you want one enormous catalog ("master catalog"). Then try not to change your mind.
Here is my story:
Summary: I started with multiple catalogs and regret merging them into one.
I hired a photographer/supposedly-LR guy to set up my LR and he suggested multiple catalogs, each easily saveable (catalog AND its photos) to a single external hard drive. I only made two: one for family photos, one for a big art project. Whenever I asked questions online about using LR, everyone told me to combine all photos into one big master catalog. Eventually I did, and I regret it. As a non-power-user, I screwed up something in the merging process, and ended up with a lot of question-mark, missing-photo problems, and a bunch of duplicate photos to boot. What a waste of time.
If you're not a pro, you probably don't need a gigantic single database to deal with. If you're someone who uses Dropbox or another non-Adobe cloud method to store and work with your photos, and you don't have unlimited storage, you may find it way more convenient to have a few different catalogs.
Power users probably don't screw up the process of merging all their catalogs into one. Power users have, from what I've read online, many complicated ways of making a big master catalog work the way they want, say for working on small numbers of files while traveling with a laptop, and then getting that work into the giant master catalog when they get back home to their studios.
But I am not a power user, and if you're reading this, you probably aren't a power user either. So perhaps my experience will be useful to you.
5) Paying for plug-ins to help with all this nonsense.
You can buy plug-ins that help you do things this application should already do by itself. For example, "Duplicate Finder" goes through and finds all the photos that you've accidentally imported more than once into your catalog. Then you can painstakingly go through, figure out which copy to keep, and delete them. Often, these "duplicate" photos are not duplicates of your "real photo" file. But at some point you moved your "real photo" file while you were tidying up your computer files, and later accidentally re-imported that photo into your LR catalog. Since LR doesn't follow your files around when you move them from within your computer/Finder, LR thinks it's a whole brand-new file. It's like your projector is projecting three images on the wall at the same time. You have to figure out which one to keep, which one will save your wall-painting changes, etc. And it is a huge pain in the butt.
Note that you can click a box when importing photos, a box that says "Do not import suspected duplicates." This can be really helpful for avoiding duplicates in the first place. It is not, however, infallible.
OK, I hope this helps someone somewhere. I'm going to go back to the horribly time-consuming task of relinking files and trying to make my brain work the way LR's brain works.

Glad to help!
Another good thing to do from time to time is to boot from your install CD, then choose "Disk Utility", then do a check (and repair, if necessary) of your boot disk.
You can't verify or fix a disk you've started from, thus the need to boot from a CD. You can boot from a second hard disk to do this test if it has MacOS on it.

Time Machine and Excel Missing File

Hello, this is my first posting here and I would appreciate some help.
An important Excel file of mine just disappeared both on my hard drive as well as on my Time Capsule backup, which is really puzzling me. Here are the facts:
1. I am using an iMac, running Mac OS X 10.5.8, with Excel:mac 2008 version 12.2.7. I religiously update both my OS and applications, so they are both up to date
2. Within Excel, if I go to File/Open Recent, there is a dropdown of recently opened files. The missing file is shown there but the "xlsx" tag is missing on that name, oddly. The other files (which are all still there) still have the "xls" or "xlsx" tag. When I click on that file, I get that error message that the file cannot be found
3. I then opened up my Time Machine on my Time Capsule and went scrolling back in time, and really weirdly, this file is missing in every version of backup. My Time Machine has the default backup of hourly for the past 24 hours, daily for the past month, and weekly before. I went into the folder where I kept the file all the way back to July (when I got the Time Capsule) and this file is missing from EACH backup. All other files are there.
I work on this file every day and I tend to keep it open on iMac. Usually when Excel crashes or something, it reloads with a recovered version but Excel hasn't crashed recently. I worked on this file as recently as yesterday and saved it in the same place where I've been saving it for the past several months.
OK, what's changed from yesterday to today? Last night when I updated my software there was an update from Microsoft for a security patch. Could it have detected a virus in this file and deleted this file from my hard drive and then from each and every backup in Time Machine?
The second change was that I selected "Back Up Now" for the first time on Time Machine last night after that patch. I usually had Time Machine run automatically, but while I was updating, I decided to do a forced backup. Could this forced backup have deleted all prior instances of this file if it was missing on my hard drive then?
This file is important to me, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can retrieve it? I thought having Time Capsule would save this kind of headaches. I did a search within the backups, in case the file mysteriously "moved", but the file is just plain missing on all backups and on my hard drive. To make things worse, I Emptied my Trash last night, so I can't see if it is in there. Though, I didn't delete the file.
Thanks for any help!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Seems very doubtful, especially since there are no viruses that run on OSX.
There is a small amount of malware, but you have to actively participate in getting it onto your Mac.
But . . . are you running any anti-virus software? Some of it does cause all sorts of problems on Macs.

No. A backup is a backup is a backup; they're all the same, no matter how they're started. And Time Machine only deletes things when it "thins" backups. Basically, it keeps all backups for 24 hours, except the first of each day, which it keeps for a month, and the first of each week, which it keeps as long as there's room.
So it's a bit unpredictable, but if a file is on your Mac for at least 24 hours, its backup will be kept for at least a month.

I don't use Excel, so can't help much with specifics. Is it possible this is some sort of temporary file that's either never actually saved to disk, or is saved with a different name each time?
Are all your other, similar files in your backups?

Save As Dialog Different on Exit vs. File - Save As...

I started by opening a raw file through Camera Raw into a 16 bits/channel document. My intent was to edit it a little and save as a JPEG.
Photoshop CS5 Adobe added the ability to save a 16 bits/channel document as a JPEG, without first having to convert to 8 bits/channel. BRAVO Adobe! It's been great.
However that functionality is specifically missing if one tries to exit Photoshop CS5 with an unsaved document. Quite a lot of stuff is missing from the Save dialog that pops up there, actually. It's like some kind of minimalist version. Why?
If I edit a 16 bits/channel document and try to exit before saving, this is the dialog it puts up:
However, File - Save As yields this dialog:

Thanks for clarifying.
I understand your thinking - you're trying to watch out for the newbie user and trying not to lose his/her layers, etc.
The thing is, the way it is now makes it just a bit harder for a power-user who knows what he's doing to use Photoshop. I've always disliked features that dumb systems down in the guise of protecting the less technical user at the expense of power. This is not Photoshop Elements, after all!
My case in point: I opened a raw file, Camera Raw automatically applied the settings I had chosen and which the software had stored, I downsized the opened image, and wanted to save it as a JPEG. It had no layers or other "fancy" attributes other than the fact that I always open raw files into 16 bits/channel depth (and I wouldn't want to change THAT default). Since I don't, as a habit, leave applications open, I thought I would just close Photoshop and save the JPEG on the way out. The dialog shown above defaulted to PSD, as I expected, but simply didn't allow me the choice to change it to JPEG. So instead of just being able to blaze through the work in the quickest way, I had to cancel that dialog, choose File - Save As, then exit...
Break in concentration and extra steps for the user who knows what he's doing.
It seems to me that the act of prompting him on exit with a Save As dialog is all the notification needed that document information could be lost, and the user actively changing to another (lossy) format is the user's own confirmation that he/she knows what he/she is about to do.
The more powerful Save As dialog just as it is today would be a perfect match for this. It's a logical outgrowth of Save As A Copy, and the new feature where you're now allowing Save As JPEG directly from a 16 bit file. By using the same dialog at the same time as making the product more powerful, you could simplify the implementation and save some future maintenance cost.

File Save Dialog does not show web folders

Hi.
My system is SAP ECC 6.0. From custom abap program, I need to be able to navigate to a sharepoint folder and save a file to it. I call METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog for this. I have already mapped/added the SharePoint site (ex. http://abc/xyz/) to My Network Places. However, when I run my program, the File Save Dialog does not show the web folders in the said sharepoint site. Any clue to what I'm missing here? In WiinExplorer, I have no issue navigating/accessing the web folders.
Thanks in advance.

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

Exchange Server 2013 Missing file on ISO install Error Code 1603

Hi all, a mystery needs solving any suggestions much appreciated:
We are trying to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows 2012 server.
The ISO File being used is: SW_DVD9_Exchange_Svr_2013w_SP1_MultiLang_Std_Ent_MLF_X19-35118
All preparation and requisites in place.
During Stage 2 Copying files, we receive an error code 1603 and installation halts.
The error states:
Installing product F:\exchangeserver.msi failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code is 1603. Last error reported by the MSI package is 'Source file not found: F:\Setup\ServerRoles\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\version\resources\themes\base\0\microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.'.
We have verified that the Path in the error is correct and exists BUT the file is not present within the 0 folder.
We have downloaded the ISO from our Action Pack resources twice and attempted 4 separate installations.
We have tried both Mailbox/Client Access and Mailbox only installations.
The missing file: microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css. Hopefully the only file misisng???
Any ideas anyone, could we source a different ISO or copy of the file or ?????
Many thanks in advance

Had the same issue with Exchange 2013 SP 1 Downloaded as an ISO from the Volume License Center, installing on a new Server 2012R2 STD box. I found the equivalent file in another ISO but discovered it was just an empty CSS file. So the easiest way is to not
bother trying to find the file but: 1) open notepad, 2) set save to "All Files", and 3) save an empty CSS file with that filename then place it in the directory indicated in the path given in the error. (Make sure it saves as
a CSS and not as a TXT.)
I reran the install and it completed without issue.

Can't burn due to missing file

I'm working on a project that I started quite a while ago and I must have deleted a video clip. Anyway I want to burn, but I can't because of the "missing file" error box. I've tried doing a "Save as", repaired permissions and restarted. I'm fairly new at this, so I'm looking for a simple solution. I really don't need the missing file, so how can I just go ahead and burn without it?
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.4) iDVD 5

Hello Elizabeth - I think you'll need to address the basic problem, ie., find the missing video and move it back so iMovie can find it, or re-edit the video in iMovie so the missing piece isn't needed. One strategy is to delete the video from iDVD, then go back to iMovie and repair that part of your production that is missing (or move it back so iMovie can find it). When you re-import the video back in to iDVD, it should work better. You may also want to look around in the forums here for hints about making the burn smoother (maintenance tasks, good quality disks, slow burning, etc.). John

Issues Missing files & duplicate files and not enough screen space

Hello everyone,
I'm using a 1.67 Ghz 15 in tibook with 1 gig of ram
I had issue yesterday, missing files, I was in the rating/keywords panel scrolling through my images, one was a bit soft so I deleted it using the command delete combo. Somehow all of the images in the project disappeared. They hadn't been moved to the trash, I looked, and looked and looked, I couldn't find them using a search, and it should have been easy, they were the first images that had been imported into Aperture.
So since I had copied the 70 files to my hardrive first I re-imported them. Couldn't see those either.
Deleted the project and re-imported again, worked fine, and I couldn't reproduce the problem.
When I went to export five images, (all the images had been re-named with a sequential suffix, Smith_01, Smith_02, Smith_03...), to my desktop so I could copy to our server, I remembered that I needed to update a caption on one image. (Could that caption box be any smaller?), anyway I exported again, I meant to only export the individual image but exported all five again. Instead of telling me there were duplicate files on the desktop it increased the sequential number of each duplicate file by 1. So now instead of one file of Smith_01, Smith _08, Smith 33, etc, I have the original and the Smith_01 file now has a matching image slugged Smith_02 on the desktop as well, along with all the others that had a match with a suffix one digit higher. And of course back in the project there is a Smith_02 that is different..
If I were to copy different files with the same name to other folders or our archive server one of those images could be easily discarded or copied over by the file with the duplicate name.
And lastly, when importing I tried to rename my files and add a generic caption, I imported the same images a few times, the first time I couldn't scroll down to see the caption box and metadata, the second time I could see the scroll and add the metadata below. The third time I couldn't scroll down. Very Wierd!
And lastly, is there any way to show just the adjustments or just the metadata boxes on the Adjustments & Filters layout? The boxes are so small already I'd like to be able to at least use the whole side of the screen for one box. I'd really like to be able to put them where I want them. The adjustment HUD works this way on a full screen but I want to get rid of the strip of thumbnails in the full screen and just have the HUD and the image, nothing else.
Any insights would be great.
Thanks,
Craig

Hello everyone,
<...>
I had issue yesterday, missing files, I was in the
rating/keywords panel scrolling through my images,
one was a bit soft so I deleted it using the command
delete combo. Somehow all of the images in the
project disappeared. They hadn't been moved to the
trash, I looked, and looked and looked, I couldn't
find them using a search, and it should have been
easy, they were the first images that had been
imported into Aperture.
I think they were in the trash - as far as I know search does not work within the trash itself.
Nope not in the trash, that's the first place I looked, I also found that deleting a project is the fastest way to export the masters. Just pull them out of the trash can
They should have been moved to the trash folder, inside an Aperture directory, and then from there inside of a folder with the name of the project the image was in.
Alternatley (and I'm not sure how this migh thave happened) they may have been marked as "rejected". All views have a default search >>criteria that starts with "unrated or higher" but rejected photos are lower than this and are not seen. By default there is a smart folder at the >>top of your library that shows Unrated pictures, you might check to see if they are there.
I'll double check the shortcut for rejects, this is the only plausible explanation, but it doesn't explain why the second import of images couldn't be found either.
So since I had copied the 70 files to my hardrive
first I re-imported them. Couldn't see those
either.
Deleted the project and re-imported again, worked
fine, and I couldn't reproduce the problem.
Well, I'm sorry to say I have no theories to offer there. Just glad it worked eventually!

had been re-named with a sequential suffix, Smith_01,
Smith_02, Smith_03...), to my desktop so I could copy

smaller?), anyway I exported again, I meant to only
export the individual image but exported all five
again. Instead of telling me there were duplicate
files on the desktop it increased the sequential
number of each duplicate file by 1. So now instead
of one file of Smith_01, Smith _08, Smith 33, etc,
<...>
Yes, Aperure will refuse to overwrite any file ever - and will always add those other numbers if it encounters a file with the same name as the one it is trying to generate!
I agree that this is a good thing, but there should be an alert of some kind if you have a duplicate. The finder certainly tells you if you are trying to copy a duplicate file to the same location. Adding an increment of one to the sequential suffix without an alert is very poor planning. On deadline trying to get files into our system I could have easily overlooked the duplicates and overwritten other files with the same name.
The only way to work around that is either to delete all files from the directory before you export from Aperture, or to export to an empty directory and copy them over yourself.
The work around is easily figured out, but like some other things I shouldn't have to work around it.
<...>
And lastly, is there any way to show just the

adjustment HUD works this way on a full screen but I
want to get rid of the strip of thumbnails in the
full screen and just have the HUD and the image,
nothing else.
Well, another option there would be to drag the divider between the metadata and the adjustments all the way up (as much as you can >>anyway, the histogram will still be visible).
That would be wonderful, but I'm on a 15 in ti book and there isn't enough space to do that. The divider show up but you can't move it. Ideally you should be able to just view the metadata or just the adjustments if you so choose. Binding them together is stupid, if I'm making adjustments, I don't care what is happening in the metadata screen and when I'm adding captions and changing metadata I don't need to see the adjustments screen. Give me a metadata template like the IPTC screen in Photomechanic that I can save and apply and put it on the screen where I want it.
Then to see adjustments just use the adjustment HUD - key "H" to bring up or dismiss. It will stay where you put it when you make it go >>away and come back and you can have it whereever you like on the screen unlike the inspector.
I'd love to do that but it can't be done on a 15 in laptop screen.
For maximum space value, you could arrange the Adjustments HUD to exactly overlay the space where the Inspector is - then you can press >>"I" to make the inspector come and go, and "H" for the Adjustments Hud all in the same space.
For maximum space on adjustments I'm using the full screen with the HUD. At least I can then move the HUD where I want it to be, not anchored on the right side.
In general look over the keyboard shortcuts as there are a lot of keys to make panels come up and go away quickly (one key, no modifiers) >>which really helps to maximize use of screen space.
I'm still learning them and I'm sure that will help, but the adjustments panel and the metadata panel have to be changed to make it more usable on a laptop in my opinion. Maybe it's fine on a large monitor, I wouldn't know as I can't load it on my G5 desktop without a hack. And so far I'd rather use Photomechanic for sorting and captioning it's much much faster for newspaper work.

Error opening document: missing file

I have a Pages template that has started opening up with the following error box:
The following errors occurred while trying to open this document:
Missing file: businesscircles_logosgrey.pdf
When I hit "continue", the document (template) opens up fine and appears to be missing nothing. I've searched my computer for the missing file and it doesn't exist (and I have no recollection of why I'd insert a pdf into a template anyway...)
Within Pages I've clicked in View>Show Invisibles, thinking that might reveal something. It didn't.
Any ideas? Thanks!
PS I am running Pages 2.0

Hello,
I had this problem a while ago with an old version 1.x file when open it in Pages 2. After some examination, it seems to appear with placeholder objects mainly (like the image you are writing about). But this was the only time I encountered the problem.
Argelius,
try to copy the image from the business letter template with this steps:
1) Click on the Pages app icon with holding the control key down and choose the item "Show the Package Content" of the appearing menu.
2) Navigate to the business letter template "Contents/Resources/<YourUsedLanguage>.lproj/Templates/ISO/Stationery/" (or "Traditional" instead of "ISO" if you are using Legal and no DIN letter sizes).
3) Do "Show the Package Content" on the letter icon and you will see a new window with all the content of the letter.
4) Search for the image and copy it.
5) Show your own letter document (the document should be closed in Pages), with which the error appears, and show the package content.
6) Paste the image into the package folder.
Now the error message should not appear by opening the document. Search your document if the logo image is placed in it. If yes, have a look at the menu "Format/Advanced/" if the image is marked as a placeholder image. Deactivate this and than delete the image. Save the document (perhaps as a duplication) and close it. See if the problem is gone by open the new document again.

Missing Files. LR 1.1.

All of a sudden I've got 590 'Missing Files'.
All from the same folder.
None are marked with a '?'.
No folders are 'Red Flagged'.
When using 'Show in Explorer', the files are shown to exist, in the relevant folder, exactly as they should. So they're not realy "Missing".
No, I've not done any mass deletions or any other form of 'Housekeeping', either from within LR or via external programs.
'Relaunch and Optimize' has no effect on the situation.
I'm more than happy to believe that it's my own 'finger trouble', but I need to understand the how or why.
Any ideas?
And this just as I'd decided that LR realy was to be trusted enough to be my main workflow tool.

LR does get confused at times about where everything is. Often, the problem you indicate occurs for no apparent reason. I have had it happen several times. When it does, I can still work on the files. In fact just clicking on the "?" will cause it to disappear. The number of missing files will change every time I reboot. The most maddening part is that you cannot tell if any are actually missing until you have clicked on each file.
This problem has been brought to Adobe's attention and they have acknowledged that it is a bug. Of course, not all problems with missing files should be attributed to this bug.
As for trusting it? That's up to you. I use it for a small part of my archive (20 K files)as a test bed for possible use with all my files, and I have not actually had it 'destroy' any files over the last year. But I have wasted many hours dealing with its bugs and glitches (not just missing files). However, in case it does go completely south, I backup after every daily editing session and all my files have offsite dual backups. I also save metadata to sidecars and jpeg and tif files. And the same files are also in the DAM that I use for my main archive. So, what I trust is my ability to survive anything LR, or any other application (or my computer), might do to my work.

Digital Imaging missing files

I cannot use scan functions on my Windows 7(64) PC . I have used the Print and Scan Doctor and have downloaded, installed and unistalled many times the newest drivers. The uninstall/install hangs up because a file (or more) is corrupted or missing. The last message referred to C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpotradd.dll. I think I need to install Digital Imaging to replace or repair the missing files and simply trying to install the newest drivers doesn't work. Is there an ability to download and install just Digital Imaging? I have the printer installed on a local network and the printer functions work fine on my Windows 7 (64) laptop.
