My MacBook has 30gb of audio files that I can't find

So there you can see that I have almost 30gb of audio files that I can't find anywhere. None of the folders say that it has many files.

How to reconnect files that I can't find on my computer now?

When I got onto my computer and went to Final Cut Express, a couple of my files had apparently gone offline and whilst I know how to fix that I don't know how to reconnect files that I for some reason can't find in the same file, on my computer, that they just were in. I was able to reconnect 2 of the 3 files that were offline but the third I am having trouble with. I did not delete it (it's a sound clip) (and I know I didn't because I looked in my trash) and it's neither on my desktop or the file for this project like it normally would be and I'm wondering if Final Cut moved it or if its hidden or something. I did also search my computer and couldn't find it.
This is a project I am working on that needs to be turned in tomorrow (which was totally realistic until I decided to check on it once more) and now I think I can get an extension until Thursday, so I would GREATLY appreciate any helpful tips or advice anyone can give!
Thanks so much!

Hello Sarah,
FCE should not delete anything from your computer as it deals only with file paths rather than the real media files.
If this audio file is not anywhere to be found on your computer then you will have to get another one if possible.
Did you move any files using the Finder the FCE relied on?
The only time I have heard of files going missing like this is when they are bounced from FCE to Sound Track or Motion.
If you did not do this then it's a mystery???

Purchased an audio book that I can't find since upgrade, where is it?

I bought an audio book, paid through the itunes store, downloaded it onto my ipad mini. 2013. I cannot find it now after the upgraded ipad mini to iOS7.0.3

I talked with iTunes Tech support for an hour or so this morning. After a lot of trial and error - here is what solved the problem for me.
1. iTunes support resent the download to my Apple ID - I did a 'Check for Available Downloads' in iTunes on my Macbook and the audiobook downloaded tot here.
2. On iPhone - I went to Settings > General > Usage > Music and deleted the Part 1 that was currently in my iPhone - apparently corrupted (since it didn't show in iBooks nor Music App under Audiobooks).
3. Plugged iPhone into MacBook, found that i had audiobooks in a playlist - removed all audiobooks from all playlists. Unchecked all Books and Audiobooks and synced. Then, I rechecked the audiobook I wanted and synced.
This process solved my problem!

I have an audio file that plays automatically and I can't control it other than reduce the volume. How do I turn it off?

I have picked up an audio file that I can't control other than reduce the volume. I don't know how to turn it off and it plays over any other audio.

Is this an Apple installed audio clip?
Have you checked to see if all of your browsers doesn't have a web page that is opened that has the audio? (Best thing is to quit all of your browsers to get that out of the way.) If it goes away, then find out which browser (if multiple), and then figure out what page or just close it if you wish.
Once you get the browsers out of the way and the audio is still playing. Then quit other programs.

How to listen to an audio file (that's not a podcast) in this app

I have some foreign language learning audio files that I'd like to use the "back 15" button feature of this app. They're not part of a podcast. I haven't found another app that does has this "back 15 seconds" feature, so I'd like to play these files using the iOS Podcast App.
I found a thread that said to use iTunes to change "media kind" of an mp3 to "podcast", but my drop-down just has "music", and following others suggestions to hold "shift" when pressing "Get Info" didn't change that to include other options unfortunately. It was also suggested in old posts that in this case the file permissions may be read only, but that's not the case with my file.
Looking for how to play my files in Podcast App, or info on another app that has the "back 15" feature. Thanks!

Duh... found my error... I was attempting to access the data by referencing the created "root" element. Since <test> is the very first element tag, it's setup as the root element, which you don't need to reference. Changing the alert to alert(xml.data); fixed it.
Now I just feel dumb, lol...

If I edit an audio file that is already on my ipod in the itune library will it change the file on the ipod or will the file on the ipod overwrite the file in itunes?

I have some audio files that could be edited to remove portions I don't need. They were lectures that has some portions which I like to remove. If I edit the file in the itunes library will it be able to sense that with even the same name the file has changed and update my ipod, ipad an so forth? Or will the files on the devices be moved back and overwrite the newer version? Or perhaps will I need to do all of this by hand? Thanks

- Only iTunes purchases will copy from iPod to computer.
- If you sync manually and do not specify those modified songs to sync they will not sync to the iPod nor will the original version be deleted from the iPod
- If you sync automatically and include those songs or select the modified songs to sync manually, the songs in the iPod should be replaced with the modified songs. However sometimes that does not happen

What app do I need to install on my iphone so that audio files that have been shared with me will play?

I have google drive on my phone but I can not play any audio files that are shared with me because it keeps telling me that it is not supported without the right app.

Perform this Google search: ".dwg files on mac." The results should provide answers for you.

EXS24 has lost many audio files

I downloaded Logic from the App store. There are many many patches in the EXS24 instrument that have lost their audio files. How can I get ALL these audio files back so ALL patches work.

This is happening to me too. I have re-installed, I have re-indexed, and have gone through all the files manually and added .aif to all the files without an extention (this helped with a lot of sounds), and still, 2 of the drum kits work and none of the others. Very frustrating.

Viewing audio files that are syncing

How do I view a list of the audio files that are syncing to my ipod during the sync process. Until I downloaded 7 I could see the files that were syncing and they had a mark next to them but I have not figured out how to view the files in my music list that are marked for syncing.
Thx

I have Firefox 7.0.1 and it has no bookmark transfer feature that I can see. It used to have a Manage Bookmarks but that seems to have vanished. I am trying to transfer my bookmarks from my Imac to my Macbook Pr0 can you no longer do that?

hello,
It would be 'Bookmarks' > 'Show All Bookmarks' and in the window that appears there is an 'Import and Backup' menu on the top. Click that and then choose 'Export Bookmarks to HTML..'. Now on the other PC it would be the same procedure except for the last, where now you have to choose 'Import Bookmarks from HTML...'.

I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

I have DVD's that I made from iMovie. I would like to know a way I can bring them back into a file that I can somehow transfer to my iPad, so I can show movies on it, the iPad.

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Here's one way to install. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

Time Machine has been working just fine, but in the last week or two it has given up the ghost. I reset the connections to the drive, and it will basically save a few bytes of data and then hang.
Although Apple originally announced, prior to the release of the first 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn), that it would support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks, they removed that option before they did finally release the base station for sale.
Since then, Apple has posted (as you have noted) that they DO NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks. As far as I know, they have not changed from that position and those who do these backups find that they become corrupted over time. Sorry, but it sounds like you just confirmed that for yourself.
1) Has one of the recent updates either on the AE (firmware) or OSX disabled this function?
No. Again, this feature has never been supported by Apple for every generation of AEBSn released.
2) Are there any changes I can make to get this working again?
If your data backups are critical to you, then you will want to use a different solution for your Time Machine backup destination drive strategy. I would suggest that you connect your WD My Book directly to your Mac in the mean time.
Your other options would be to either use a Time Capsule (which interestingly does support TM backups to AirPort Disks) or a non-Apple solution like the Drobo FS or HP MediaSmart server.

All of my music is on an external hard drive and now I can't play any of my songs...it says that it can't find the file. How do i fix this problem?

I have all of my music saved on an external hard drive. Now I can't play my music...it says that it can't find the location. I think I need to re install all of my music but I'm not sure how to do it?

go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

I've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!
