Missing photos - cannot reconnect - found in mov file!!

Using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 on Windows XP Pro
Everything worked fine for some time, then error message appeared when trying to print or attach photo to email.... "Searching for missing file". There are about 30 photos that are "missing" although they can be viewed in the album. Tried the "Reconnect" feature but it cannot reconnect the missing files. Searched for the names of the JPG photos and they do not appear in the list... cannot be found. After some research discovered that they were all in an MOV file named "Picture054.MOV". Any idea how they got put into MOV format??? Or how to put them back into the album as JPG photos??
Thanks

BOB:
Can you help me with my issue? It is on the FORUM UNDER:
*System Crashed, LOST ALL photo files shows THUMBNAILS only now!*
BGBlake - 04:04am Jun 6, 2007 Pacific
PLEASE help me to get back my pics! HOW can I COPY the THUMBNAILS and NOT loose my photos! If I try to open them or copy them they say "Searching for Missing File Location", then it says "Cannot continue requires at least one connected file"!
These are precious because they are 3 years worth and some family members are no longer with us! PLEASE HELP!
OS:WINDOWS XP SP#2
Photoshop Album Starter 3.0
Basically, I had to do a factory restore and the PICS file was NOT under an "XP User Acct" so the files were not saved during restore and were lost! When I re-installed Adobe 3.0 the THUMBNAILS appeared, but of course the file "location" is missing as is all the actual pics! It says one file must be connected to open. Can you help?

“the procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll.”
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

I am updating my iTunes as I need it in order to plug iPhone in and manage it.
This message keeps coming up everytime I try and download it:

Hello,
Is you library located on the internal drive? My first suggestion would be to repair permissions using disk utility.
Mac OS error -54 (permErr): permissions error (on file open)

Since update to 9.3, when I click thumbnails of photos i get an error message that original photo cannot be found. Didn't have this problem prior to upgrade to 9.3 and 9.3.1. Any thoughts?

"File could not be used because original file cannot be found." Locate File?

Everytime I try to play a song on iTunes, I get a message that says "The song cannot be played because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I also cannot add songs to playlists, or pretty much do anything. The only songs that will play are ones I recently purchased from the iTunes store. I also have 2 libraries setup on my computer. The original library is fine, its the second one that is a problem. Should I just go back to one library? or how can fix the problem?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Iphoto 6 "photo cannot be found,etc.

Somehow about 300+ of my 3400 photos now have been lost except for the thumbnails that have been degraded from 2272 X 1704 pixels down to 1/4 of that. They can only be viewed in Preview - can't e-mail or anything else either. I kept getting the msg. "the volume for 105-057_crw cannot be found or "photo cannot be opened because original item cannot be found". Many times trying to view a thumbnail in a folder with that conflicting number I would get a different photo.
Backup can't be done because I get those messages a million times b4 I can burn the library. The photos with duplicate i.d. numbers (probably from different cameras) are now gone after doing the rebuilding.
I guess the only thing left is repopulating. Can anybody advise - will it help or likely aggravate?
In short Iphoto has really screwed me up. I brought a lot of this over from windows (canon program) and now have lost a lot of new pictures. A lot I didn't like about the PC but this stinks.

Hi CM -
Not sure that this will solve all your problems, but I wanted to pass along a discovery I had (posted previously on another thread, but I thought it closely enough related to repost).
I was receiving the consistent error, "couldn't find DSCN####.JPG". The files in question were there, could be found using spotlight in the find file dialog and otherwise, but iPhoto would not accept them. I was able to open them using other apps, duplicate them, repair permissions, etc etc so on and so forth.
Stop. Look. Listen. The file name being identified by iPhoto was "....JPG", and the file name was actually "....jpg". I manually changed the case on the file tag to "JPG". iPhoto now accepted the file. Repeat. Identical performance.
After doing about as many as I could stand this way I made sure changing the case of the filename before the tag didn't make a difference (or at least sure enough for me, YMMV). Then I got Automator to Rename Finder Items - Change Case. On the entire Data folder.
Came back in the morning and it was done. Ran thru the remainder of the Upgrading Thumbnails task that iPhoto was running. Had to tell it which file was which on a random selection of files -- was quicker just to select the file it wanted than to try to figure out why it couldn't find them for itself. Once that was done, my library is all better.
Computers are such dandy labor-saving devices.

Songs cannot be found because original files could not be found, but...

I've just imported over 2,000 songs to iTunes and had my preferences set (Edit/Preferences/Advanced tab/General tab) to copy each file to my iTunes music folder when copying to iTunes library (I thought--at least the box is checked). However, when I moved several hundred of the files from their original location on my hard drive, the link was broken to iTunes. Each time I try to open or play one of these tracks, I get the error message that the file cannot be used because the original file cannot be found. Itunes is looking for the original files in folder(s) outside of my iTunes folder, instead of in the itunes folder. Or so I think; I'm still pretty new at this.
1. What did I do wrong?
2. Is there an easier way to fix this than to delete all 2,000 songs and re-import them?
3. Is it really necessary to re-establish links one song at a time, instead of a group of songs at a time? (UGH!)
4. I want to delete these songs from the other folder once they're copied into my iTunes folder AND FUNCTIONING in both iTunes and on my iPod. Can I do that?
5. What does the exclamation point icon mean that's appeared next to some of my songs (and Why can't I find any info about it in the iTunes help file or on apple.com)? In some cases it correlates to broken links, but some disappear when I open the song.
6. What does the check box mean that's next to each song (and why can't I find an info about it in the iTunes help file or on apple.com)? (GRR!)
7. A friend suggested I drag and drop files from my iPod disk space directly into iTunes, but I have USB1 ports/drivers which are excruciatingly slow. Is her idea better than copying the files from iPod to an intermediary folder on my desktop? I've already copied everything onto my computer, and having the iPod plugged in seems to slow everything down.
I've spent two days trying to fix this and the longer I look for answers on iTunes help and on apple.com, without finding a single one, the more questions I have. Please help!

I right-clicked on the song to 'get info' and found out that the path is 'file://localhost/users/Hannah/desktop/iTunes' etc. I remembered that I had moved the iTunes library to the desktop as not to forget to back it up.
Hmm, if the active iTunes library knows where to look for files but they have been misplaced then putting them back where it expects to find them should work. However you should only be moving the media folder not the library files, or if moving both you should shift-start iTunes and choose a new library.
Now, I have deleted the iTunes library from the (default) Music folder and have put it on the desktop with the hope that this is now where iTunes will find the original library. However, it's still not working!!! Please help!!! I really cannot lose my whole iTunes library
As long as you have the media files and a copy of the library files from your old system it really should be possible to coax them back into working order.
Are you currently connected to a library which lists your media? If so what is the path given for a sample missing file and where is the actual copy of that file now?

Hi Fiat Lux
Thanks anyway but I have solved it.It wasn't any fault of Acrobar Reader as such. Everytime I run a microsoft remote desktop and access my main PC from my laptop it deletes the default printer status of my printer (on the main PC) and then when I want to run the above command Reader can't find a printer to use until I reinstate it as the default printer.
Thanks anyway.

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.

Cannot import Canon 500D .MOV files into Lightroom 4.1

I've seen a few problems on here about similar issues.
I've imported .mov files before, but a perfectly valid (short, circa 10 seconds) .MOV clip just will not preview or import into Lightroom 4.1 on my Win7 x64 system.
The movie will play fine directly from the card, but just won't import!
Any ideas, chaps?

Cannot open my old mov. files with new imovies 10.0.3

I went to open a .mov file I wanted to re-edit and only Quicktime was given as an option. I've tried to create a new event with the new imovies and that isn't happening either. How to do either of these simple things would be appreciated.

The new iMovie is only going to accept certain formats and codecs. You should re-export or re-save your movie files from QuickTime to a new format. You may notice a "(converted)" in the title bar of some of your movies as they are opened in QT. QT is now converting movies into more "acceptable" codecs as it loads them into memory.
After export, they should be acceptable in iMovie.

Why do i keep getting "image is missing preview data" when trying to move files from bridge to PS ??

I am not able to move multiple files to PS...regardless whether I am doing HDR or panorama.....get this "image is missing preview data" with the first file number of the series of files.
#missingpreviewdata

You don't "move" anything from Bridge "into" Photoshop. You use Bridge to call on Photoshop to come and open the file(s), and Bridge simply hands the files over to Photoshop.
The problem lies in how the files are being processed and saved.
No one can help you until you provide complete and sensible details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

The .keystore file now cannot be found (No such file or directory)

hi,
so, I'm trying to sign a JAR file connected to an applet.
I got to creating the keystore and had a "where do you want to store it? and what do you want to call it?" messages.
I saved it as '.keystore' and was warned by the system that files beginning with '.' are invisible.
I clicked ok (thinking the compiler should be able to 'see' it) and now whenever I try to sign anything the Terminal tells me:
jarsigner error: java.lang.RuntimeException: keystore load: /Users/spikenigma/.keystore (No such file or directory)
It doesn't matter how many other keystores I create, it looks for it in said directory and throws up an error.
I've tried everything
HELP

Ok, I'll be as specific as possible and maybe you can tell where I am going wrong. I am on a Mac.
1)
I have a JAR file called csvjdbc.jar . It is a driver that enables offline SQL operations of sorts on tabular data.
It works perfectly when loaded in the classpath both dynamically and at runtime.
The contents of it's manifest file are, as expected:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.1
Created-By: 1.6.0_22-b04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
2)
A test of csvjdbc.jar to check if it is already signed returns that it is not, as expected:
(input)
jarsigner -verify csvjdbc.jar
(input)
(output from terminal)
jar is unsigned. (signatures missing or not parsable)
(output from terminal)
3)
I want to sign the jar file so that I can load said JAR file in an applet I have not yet created.
4)
My steps are:
(navigate to the folder via the terminal)
cd desktop
cd progamming
cd java
etc….
(navigate to the folder via the terminal)
(try to sign the jar)
jarsigner csvjdbc.jar spikenigma

Cannot play audio on Mov File.

Hello,
I have recived a video file to work on for an edit. Video works fine EXCEPT for audio.
*** Audio Track(s) Parameters ***
- Format: Uncompressed PCM

It will not play on anything, I have tried quicktime, VLC, FCP. Is there anyway to correct this?
Thanks for any of your thoughts,
Helena

After playing around with this alot, I moved the clips from one event to another, and then reduced the number of clips in each event file. My theory is that if an event file has too many clips, for some reason it cannot "handle" the audio. Once I reduced the number of clips per event file, everything worked fine.

Original photo cannot be found

Im getting the above error on most of my photos. I can see them fine but if I try to drag I get the error. If I put a new photo into the library it happens. I didn't have this at all on the previous version of iphoto.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
