Missing HHP file after project rename

One of the authors here has hit a problem with a project
after he has renamed it - within RH. The project refuses to open
completely and RH hangs. On investigation it appears that the
project's .HHP file is missing. All the other project files are
present with the new project name.
We've managed to get around this as he has a backup of the
original project and can import the amended topics into the backup
and do a hack of the .HHC and .HHK files in order to move forward.
Just wondering if this is something others have experienced.

Thanks for the help but yes we have tried this approach.
Interestingly, one change that was made from the original project
was a new template file. This shows up in the topics and even in
the topic properties but not in the Project's templates folder.
Everything appears OK, even the truecode references the template.
The problem is that we have no way of knowing if this was the same
before the rename as well as after.

Missing original files after attempting to move all files to external drive

After reading numerous threads regarding iTunes not being able to locate the original file after moving it to an external drive, I'm in a slightly different boat since most seem to be able to "locate" their original music. It appears the order in which this is done is particularly important and I suspect this is where I screwed up. I posted this earlier in response to another thread mistakenly under iTunes for Windows, but now I'm realizing where I may have made my main mistake.
Over a year ago, I had moved my iTunes folder from my Music folder from the HD to my 250 GB external drive. I did not rename it. Kept it the same name. Went into the Advanced folder in iTunes Preferences and chose to use the external drive as my source for music and everything worked fine. Don't remember consolidating and it appears based on the way that I did it, I may not have had to.
Recently I found a folder in my Music folder on the Mac's HD titled iTunes and assumed this was holding the original files and that my iTunes wasn't actually running from my external drive at all, but that it had been using the HD on the Mac the whole time (didn't realize that it kept a copy there). So, I took that file and moved it to the external drive. Not sure if I "replaced" it or "deleted" the old one on the external drive (it was late and it was a few days ago). Now I'm realizing that I probably took out my true original files as now all that is there is about 16 music files under "iTunes Music". I tried consolidating and this didn't make any difference since it just consolidated all of the same files. If I open iTunes and hold the option key down that doesn't make any difference either since it still can't find the originals.
Now that I realize what I've done, thinking back I should have been more surprised that it was only 1.3GB of music when really my library is closer to 40 GB. I've just lost a lot of music. Is there anyway to retrieve the rest of the original library or am I cooked?
Many thanks for any help.

Missing video files after upgrade

I've upgraded to iTunes 7 and now I am missing some files, specifically my bought music videos and some iTMS Pixar movies. The used to be in my library\Downloads\... but now 7.0 has reorganized my library for me and moved my files around. Now I can't find it (maybe it deleted it??).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I had this problem yesterday too, you'll find them in E (mass memory) in a folder named DCIM.
I dunno what the trick behind changing the location!

Missing linked files after update

I've used the link feature in iphoto 08, so not to duplicate my photos (I also use lightroom and bridge). Now when I updated to iPhoto 09, the photos that were linked are now missing even though they're in the same place as before. On the same main hard drive in my Shared folder. How can I relink all my albums to the right folders and not one photo at a time? I can do this easily in both Lightroom and Expression Media but I found no option to just point to the right place in iPhoto 09.
TIA
Jeff

I had the exact same problem - and called Apple support and spoke to an expert, and at the end of the day there was nothing you could do, just rebuild the entire library manually (i.e. start from scratch and losing all your keepsakes, albums etc).
In my particular case, I kept my old library, and then copied the links from the newly created/rebuilt library (with the correct links) into the "Data" and "Originals" folders of the old library, then upgraded again... and then most of the links still worked. Unfortunately iPhoto 08 seemed to rename the subfolders in the "Originals" folder whenever you changed names of an event, and iPhoto 09 seems to just leave the old name, so there was a lot of renaming before it worked again.
iPhoto could be such a great app if it worked better with references - there should be a way to edit the links, make changes to the original (referenced) file, rename or move files in finder (just the way iTunes does it) - the way it's written now it's very bad. Everyone says "just do not use external references" but if you want to work with Windows/Parallels or any other image program you just want to know where your original file is and keep manual control of the folder structure, so that's not an option for me.
Apple developers: Please provide better support for referenced files, or allow more flexibility with the internal folder structure/naming!!!

MISSING .indd file after Indesign crash

Using Indesign CC and Yosemite 10.10.2
I saved an .indd file to my hard drive successfully, tried to export as a PDF and it crashed.
And took the .indd file with it. It's not corrupted, it's simply GONE. And the PDF is a whopping 0k.
Indesign tried its best to recover after the crash, but needs the actual .indd file to do so, of course. First time Indesign CC crashed on me, actually.
I spotlight-searched my HD, trash, servers, everywhere. It's completely gone. or renamed? or hidden? I turned on hidden files via Terminal, not there. Restarted too.
Anybody had this happen?
Nope, I didn't have it backed up. Murphy's Law, the one time you put off backing up....

That's the gist of the first thread Bob suggested you see.
Removing programs tends to remove the file associations, too. You can either restore the association using Explorer, which will use the same icon for all version documents, or you can re-install which will restore the associations and enable the icon handler .dll to show you the correct icon for each version.
Not that it matters at this point, because the damage is done, but uninstalling older versions after installing new ones is generally poor practice and likely to remove something useful. If you are going to uninstall the old version, do it first. You can also create problems for yourself if you try to install an old version after the new one.
There's really not much reason to uninstall old versions of most Adobe products at all. The only one I know that won't co-exist nicely is Acrobat, and the installer will remove the old version for you these days. I still have ID installed going back to version 2, and you'd be surprised how often I want to open a legacy file in the original application.

Missing index file after data recovery

Hello
I accidently deleted some pages files from my trash. I recovered them using Filesalvage. Now when I try to open them I get the message
"Unable to open xxxxx.pages because the document is invalid. The index.xml file is missing."
So I suppose the recovery program hasn't recovered that part of the file package.
Is there anyway to rebuild or recover the data?
Thanks
Dion

I have the exact same issue, of course this occurred before time machine came along. Have you been able to recover any of your deleted pages documents. I learned later to make sure that the suffix .pages is turned on and that creates a .pdf wrapper that can be recovered if accidently deleted.
Let me know if you have any luck with your situation and I will do the same.
Sincerely,
David

ITunes: Missing Music Files & After Adding Songs It Says It Can't Find Original File

Hi Everyone
I use iTunes to manage my music and after the upgrade just yesterday (11.0.2 (26)), my iTunes library now shows exclamations next to tracks that it can't find anymore.
The tracks are on my external drive where I have always had them, and when I try to add a song back into the library and try to play it, it says it can't locate the original file and asks if I want to try and locate it.When I go back to locate it on my external drive, it does not show up anymore on my external drive. But when I eject my external drive and plug it back in, the folder track is there again on my external drive!!!!
Does anyone else have the same issue here please?

After weeks of working out what the problem was I finally found out. In my case I had recently purchased Paragon NTFS for Mac so that I could write to an NTFS formatted external hard drive. This was where the issue was when iTunes tried to write to the external drive where I keep my iTunes library and iTunes media folders. Every time I tried to download a song from iTunes, it could not write to my external drive and said that the file or folder was in use. The Paragon NTFS for Mac software 'driver' was causing this to happen and as soon as I turned the driver off on the Paragon software admin tool, my problem was solved! Seemed like the driver was locking out iTunes when trying to write. So if anyone else has this issue, turn off the driver when using iTunes. If you are not running Paragon, then perhaps you have a similar conflict with another application.

Missing photo files after reinstalling Snow leapard 10.6.8

I have reinstalled snow leopard 10.6.8 and am missing file I try to name in lightroom 1.4 Are the images recoverable?

Hello mauser11,
If you were using Time Machine before you re installed Snow Leopard, you should be able to restore the file in question from the backup. This section of the article named:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Restoring data from Time Machine backups
With Time Machine, you can go "back in time" to restore files, versions of files, or your entire system. Make sure your backup drive is connected and mounted. If it is not, Time Machine alerts you that "Your Time Machine backup disk can't be found."
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Missing iweb files after mobileme closed-recoverable?

While trying to transfer my iweb-created website to Godaddy suddenly I cannot find the site at all or any pages -- just one pages that says "blank". Any suggestions? Did I accidently delete my entire webpage files? Are they recoverable? Thnaks.

The published pagers that were on MMe are not needed. Everything iWeb needs is in its Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
If you're running Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mt. Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
Once you get your domain file and get it opened you will need to publish the site to an FTP hosting service. If you're running iWeb 2 you must publish to a folder on your hard drive and upload the site folder and it's external index.html file to the server. If you're running iWeb 3 you can publish directly from iWeb to the server.

FCE Losing Render Files After Project is Copied

I've been having a vexing problem that's been costing me a lot of time. FCE keeps losing the render files for my projects, or more accurately, it is overwriting them or otherwise making them disappear. More background:
I have a large master project that is quite lengthy. I am also breaking that project into smaller videos (it's a concert and I want to have individual song videos as well). I render the large file and get it edited the way I like it. I do a "save as" to the project and create a working copy to clip into songs. However, once I start modifying the copy, if I reopen the original, I am told that the render files have gone offline, and even when I do a manual search i can not find them.
Shouldn't a copy of a project get its own set of renders? Or am I doing something wrong?

First, welcome to the Final Cut Express forum!
Questions
What exactly do you mean by +large master project+ and +quite lengthy?+
What do you mean by +manual search?+ In the reconnect dialog? in the Finder? Somewhere else?
What kind of video are you working with - DV, HDV, AVCHD, something else?
Did your source media clips (video) come directly from your camcorder or some other source? If a camcorder, what make & model?
What are your sequence settings?
_Possible explanation_
Render files are associated with a project name, and no two projects use the same render files. What I suspect is going on is that when you do your +Save As+ and give the project a +new name,+ FCE is carrying the render files forward +associated with the name of the new project.+ That would explain why they are no longer available to the first project.
Suggestion
If you are basically using the same source media clips for your complete concert plus individual songs, imho it would be much better to confine your work to _one FCE project._
In that single project, create your _master sequence_ (the whole concert, as you have already done) and then just create a new sequence for each individual song video that you want to create. This is a much more efficient workflow than creating +separate projects+ to accomplish what you appear to be doing.

Missing iPhoto files after time machine restore from Snow Leopard

My Snow Leopard machine HD failed the day after my new MacBook Air (Lion) arrived. Migration assistant allowed me to use Time Machine to restore my iPhoto files from my external HD. However, many of the photos are apparently gone, although the thumbnails remain (selecting the thumbnail results in a big exclamation point in a triangle). I've tried repairing the iPhoto Library and updating the thumbnails, but still many photos can't be found. I think I may have to fix the old machine, then try to restore that way, but would like to access the photos now. Any suggestions?

Back up no matter what, then
either way with time machine and restore or
Target disc mode. You should be able to move the entire iPhoto Library

PSE7 Missing exe.file after installation

Hi,
I purchased PSE7 from Adobe store this afternoonn. After download of PSE7_WIN_DE.exe and extracting into the desktop installation folder - installation of PSE started and finished. But - there is no exe file to start PSE, not even in the program folder and the new created shortcuts by the installer are empty (by showing the windows root exe symbol, not the PSE). I have removed and installed it for serveral times now, always with the same effect - no exe. file. Can someone help me out?
Thanks

If you have not done so already, turn off your security software and try installing again. Else, you can call Adobe for assistance. They will not charge for the support since you have an installation problem with the current version of PSE.

Missing iphoto files after hard drive replacement

I am working with iMac (27 inch, late 2009) running OS X Yosemite. Run time machine to an external hard drive.
Earlier this month, the hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. Before the hard drive crash, the computer was not using Yosemite. The iMac's hard drive was replaced and a full time machine restore was done. Everything was there except for all photos in ten very recent events in iPhoto. The event is named correctly "Halloween 2014," but there is no thumbnail picture. When I click into an event, the thumbnails for all the photos are are gray with white dotted lines around them. I repaired the thumbnails, and that didn't solve the problem.
I noticed in one (only one) event album, when I click into it, I can see the images at the bottom (in the teeny thumbnails) but when I click on them, I get the exclamation point in a triangle.
I have a few fairly basic questions -
1. When looking for an original photo file in Finder, is the correct way to do it by "Showing Package Contents" when the iPhoto icon is selected in iPhoto? This is the first time I've had to dig around to make sure the actual photo is on the computer. What is the organization default on the folders? Upload date? It doesn't make much sense to me yet.
2. Is it worth it to even bother doing this? Should I just either a) repair permissions, b) repair database or c) rebuild database?
3. What do a-c even mean?
4. If I do a-c, am I in danger of loosing photos I've uploaded since the hard drive install? I have some very precious professional family photos that I have on the computer now that I am deathly afraid of loosing.
Thanks!

1 - best to stay out of the iPhoto library - it is very complicated and easy damaged
2 - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
3 - ?
4 - see 2 - step one is backup the Photo libreay in case a rare prblem does cause an issue
