Missing movies (reset cache?)

Sometimes Front Row will "lose" my movies. They show up in iTunes fine but in FrontRow it will give the warning that no movies are available. Rebooting has no effect. If I go back to iTunes and play a movie it will then show up in the Front Row movie list.
Although it works this can be quite laborious/error prone when done over a list of about 100 movies
Also if I apply any updates the problem goes away (yesterday's security update fix the most recent incarnation of this problem).
Given the symptoms I'm guessing a Front Row cache or index is getting corrupted.
Does anybody know how to manually flush/fix/force a rebuild of Front Row's cache(s)/index(ices)? Or any other soluton for that matter
iMac Core Duo 20" 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) also have a iMac Mini Core Duo 1.66GHz (Media Center) and a 17" eMac G4 1.25GHz

I found that deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist and letting frontrow regenerate it seems to do the trick.

I can't clear or move my cache [with FF 15 and FF16)

I can't move or clear my cache! When I go to options>advance>network, there is just blank space under "Cached Web Content". But when I go to about:cache:
Memory cache device
Number of entries: 731
Maximum storage size: 32768 KiB
Storage in use: 15459 KiB
Inactive storage: 15558 KiB

And I note that it doesn't list a location [whereas for the offine it does:

I've tried to move the cache directory and I set the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory in my about:config, but nothing has ever gotten written to that directory [it is already created].. And in fact, I can't find my cache: it says that
there's 15megs somewhere, but I can't find where: I've poked in the profiles\...default hierarchy and there's basically zero spaced used except for 66 megs in "urlclassifier3.sqlite".
I noticed this with FF15 and I'd hoped that it would be fixed when I upgraded to FF16, but it is all still the same.

I have the same problem, updated to FF 17 today and the problem persists.
I dont have any settings that modifies the cache's behaviour, everything is as it should be but after i installed an extension a week ago FF wouldnt start at all !, so i reseted FF, extension was gone, replaced my old profile from FF (since the reset deleted all my settings) and everything was back EXCEPT this cache BUG, because of this cache bug my NEW TAB (top pages u visited) is also bugged as i cant remove any site that i dont want in my top 5...

HT201272 Missing movie on my iPad

I recently purchased a movie off iTunes using my iPad. I watched in a few times and then I had to reset my iPad for some other technical reason. When I rested my iPad the movie I purchased was not there. I synced my iPad to my computer and clicked the movies tab under owners iPad and it shows the movie. However I am unable to watch the movie. When I went to the iTunes store on my computer and on my iPad itself and went to purchases the movie doesn't show. How can I retrieve this missing movie.

There's no reason whyyou can't watch a film during a flight, a lot of people do. Great Expectations is 2 hours 8 minutes and the HD version is 4.91 gig (the SD version is 1.89 gig). It will probably use something like 25% of your battery.

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Missing movie files in iPhoto 08

I have just noticed that in some of my events the movie is missing (the last six). In checking the finder I see that the actual file is missing too. The only changes I have made is to upgrade to snow leopard and I got a magic mouse. There are .mov files in other folder and the movie shows in the iPhoto. I noticed this because the magic mouse wont open the movie files in iPhoto.
So I have two problems: One: where have my recent movies gone that were once iPhoto. (They are not in iMovie and I have checked Time Machine) and two: why wont my mouse open a movie in iPhoto.
Any help will be great!

When you Control-click on one of the missing movie's thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu what do you see?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Missing movement type data in 0IC_C03 cube

Hi Gurus ,
i have deltas running for 0ic_c03 cube in B1 7.0 i have used transformations for loading cube .
In a report of this cube for plant material stock, i can c the quantities matching with MB51 report of R/3 where as the values are not matching for sum material ( negative stock values with 0 qtys )
i found that a movement type 121 data is missing in BW
i have read thread on the forum suggesting to work on OMJJ transaction and make 121 movement type as statistics relevant.
But i want to know how this action will effect on R/3 update controlling ?
any inputs will b a grt help
Edited by: Rajesh Dalwadi on Jan 13, 2009 12:09 PM

Hi,
We faced lot of problems with missing movement type, fo that we taken correct confirmation from MM team and then added it in Update Rules and deleted the data in Cube and then Re-Initialized the Cube.
To do this, you need ECC Down Time. I'm talking about BW 3.5. I think in BI7, it may be easy, (without taking down time, pls check).
Thanks

Missing movie files in my project since iOS 8 and iCloud Photo Library

Hello all,
I've been to New York at the start of 2014 and created an awesome movie project in iMovie for iOS. That was when iOS 7.1.2 was the most current release. Today, I wanted to finish up my project. I'm currently running iMovie 2.1.1 on iPad air 1 running iOS 8.1.2 and iCloud Photo Library is enabled since day one. I Opened the project today and iMovie told me there are missing movies in the project and offered me to search for them. It only found 2 out of 140 or something. Now my project timeline is filled with clip with exclamation marks and many transitions with pictures in them are missing too. I tried to download clips that are in iCloud by tapping the Cloud icon but iMovie still cannot find them. Ive also tried importing from iCloud drive, disabling iCloud photo library and syncing the movies from iPhoto using iTunes on my iMac but iMovie cannot link them to the project. I'd hate to see hours of editing work to go down the drain.
Hope someone can help.
RF

Ok, so sinc you turned iCloud photo library, that automatically delets all of your current photos. I found that out the hard way. I'm sorry to hear that your editing has gone to waste. It is still odd that some media was saved though.

Missing movies in project since iOS 8 and iCloud Photo Library

Hi,
I've been to Europe this summer and created a movie in iMovie for iOS. That was when iOS 7.1.2 was the most current release. Today, I wanted to finish up my project. I'm currently running on iPad air, iOS 8.0.2, latest release of iMovie and iCloud Photo Library is enabled since day one. Opened the project and iMovie complained there was missing movies and offered me to search form them. It found 19 out of 40 or something. ***??? Now my movie timeline is filled with clip with exclamation mark and many transitions with pictures in them are missing too. I tryed to download clip that where in iCloud by tapping the Cloud icon but iMovie still cannot find them. How am I supposed to fix this now? My clips are there but iMovie cannot link to them... Apple, are you reading this forum?

Move the cache folder.

Hello,
I used to move firefox cache folder to my secondary (350 MB) ssd drive. However since a few firefox versions back the way I did it (using about:config and finding cache parent directory ) doesn't work anymore. And by doesn't work I mean there is no setting like that.
The question is: is it possible to move firefox cache folder? If so - how can I do it?
Thanks in advance,
Tomasz.

I just bought a ipod touch. I am unable to use it because itunes tells me I have no internet connection (unknown error 306). I have tried all the suggestions I can find, including checking the firewall, the no proxy server is checked, resetting cache on itunes, I even scanned the computer with Registry Easy but nothing worked. I use Mozilla Firefox and have a PC with Windows 7. Obviously, buying a ipod and being unable to use it for 3 days (and counting) because I am unable to register it, is pretty frustrating. Can anyone help?

Did you try all of this:
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.

Missing movie file

I have created a movie in imovie. When I share it with idvd everything is fine and I can burn a dvd (the 1st time). The next time I try to open that dvd project I get a message saying "missing movie file clip 01.dv. Would you like to search for it?" I can't seem to find it anywhere. It says the dvd won't play properly with out it, then idvd usually ends up freezing up. That movie name isn't even part of my original movie. So everytime I want to make a change or burn another dvd of this project, I have to go back into imovie and export to idvd again.
Please help!

If you get a good first burn every time that you initially export your iMovie project to iDVD, try saving the iDVD as a disk image instead of burning a DVD disk. When you save as a disk image iDVD goes through the same encoding process as if you were burning to a DVD disk. Once you have burned a disk image you then can open and close the disk image multiple times to burn multiple DVD disks from the disk image, using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, without again going through the encoding process. So, if the first burn is good, all the other burns will be good.
It is oft recommended to close iDVD and iMovie and trash the files named com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iDVD.plist. When you relaunch, the programs will replace those files with new ones. Then run a permissions repair using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If you are storing your project on an external drive, make sure that the drive is formatted correctly. It should be Mac OSExtended or Mac OS Extended (journaled).
Make sure that you have enough hard drive free space for iDVD to work. It takes at least 5GB of free disk space to burn a disk, and you should have more than that if possible.
Did you actually look into your iMovie media folder to see if Clip 01.dv exists? Control click on your iMovie project icon and select Show Package Contents/Media. See if it's in there.
I know that in iDVD5 (not sure about iDVD6) If you added an asset to your project, and then removed it and deleted it from your hard drive, iDVD would still think that that asset was in the project. Because it was deleted from the hard drive, iDVD wouldn't be able to find it and would report it as a missing asset. Maybe that's what is happening to you here. The solution then would be to retrieve that deleted asset and put it back on your hard drive so you can reinsert it into the project.
Always a good idea to archive your iDVD project rather than just doing an ordinary save. Takes up more disk space, but an archive bundles all of the project assets with it so everything is intact if you move it off to an external drive or another computer. Otherwise, you can get broken links.
Good luck with this.

HT1391 how do i restore a missing movie that i downloaded?

How do I restore a missing movie that I previously downloaded?

Unless your account is based in the US then you can't re-download it for free (and not all films can be redownloaded in the US) - if you are in the US then you could see if it's in your purchase history for re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of it on your computer's iTunes and/or on a backup ?

Missing movies added by digital copy code

Looking on the Apple TV I am missing movies that were added by codes that came with purchases of Blu Ray versions. Examples would be Hunger Games, Madigascar 3, Star Trek.
I can see the movies on my Macbook Pro and Windows machine within iTunes, but not on my Apple TV. This seem to happen in the last update to my Apple TV.

Actually, I just went into my iTunes account and right clicked on it, there is no option to play it as with other movies or if I double click them they don't play. But they show up in my iTunes account.
