No Media Files showing in Roxio

Hi,
I have just got a blackberry Curve and have used the Roxio software once for downloading pictures and uploading a few music files.
Since then, everytime I open it, I can't see any of the files on my phone - in any media folder.
I've tried everything, so please help!
Thanks, Shils.

Media files not showing in Palm desktop

I have done a successful sync between iMac and TX, and have Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everything shows up in desktop except the media files (which were there with Palm Desktop using Windows XP on my old computer). I was able to transfer a photo from the Mac to the TX successfully. Why aren't the media files showing up in Palm Desktop?
Post relates to: Palm TX
This question was solved.

The MAC version (4.2.1) of the Palm DT does not support media. However you can move photos as you have already seen by using the quick install tool.

"This clips media files are not currently available" warning sign

I got this yellow warning sign on my project. The clips were visable below so I don't understand why it shut down. Once it got to the warning sign then the video just went black but kept running. I ended up just making a new project since it was a presentation that was needed immediately. It still says this about the project - 2 weeks later... I don't get it?
Is my computer just too slow? I only had 1GB or RAM at the time, since then I bumped up to 3, the max for my old macbook pro

Check below the message. It will show you the path to the missing clip. I'm betting the drive name is different. I'm betting you use TimeMachine back up. The reason I say this is because I use Time Machine for back ups. And my missing media files show a path like "HARDDRIVE 10/iMovie Events/file name" Problem is my external drive is named "HARDDRIVE". I have no idea where the "10" came from in the name. I spotlight search the HARDDRIVE 10 and it goes to the correct drive. I believe Time Machine's back up system is screwing with the directory paths of the working files. I have stopped using Time Machine.
I do not know HOW TO RELINK missing media files. ANY ONE?? HELP US!!!

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

I click on "add to library" and the file shows up in my iTunes media file, but not in my iTunes.

I click on "add to library" and the file shows up in my iTunes media file, but not in my iTunes.

That didn't work - I'm so confused - it just doesn't make sense. How could it be there, but not show up on itunes???

Payment media file not saved on the local PC in FBPM

Dear all,
In transaction FBPM, if I choose the option ouput to the file system and point out the path to the folder where the file to be generated on my local PC, by the running of the transaction I am getting the following error:
BFIBL02182 - The file XXXXXXXXX cannot be opened.
If I want to download the payment media file I have to download it manualy.
I don't have some access limitation on my computer.
For this error I found the following explanation in teh forums: The error message BFIBL02182 normally is showing because the directory that was used when starting the payment media program (for example, in background processing), cannot be read online. You should therefore choose a directory that can be written to and read by different machines.
Acctually I don't understand this.
I would like the system to download the file automatically by the running of the transaction.
Please could help, what I have to do, ? How to check if the chosen by me dirictory is possible to be read online?
Thanks in advance for the help?
Stefka

Hi,
Please validate the Payment medium: Selection Variant in T-Code: OBPM4 and then search the variant in T-Code FBPM, for the relevant Payment Medium Format, type the File Name something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Payment
Save
After the payment run is completed. You need to go to Menu in F110 screen and select Environment-> Payment Media->DME Administration, select the line and click Export button and select Download.
This is the only way you can download when the presentaion server is used.
Hope this helps....
Thanks,

I have converted most of my windows media files to itunes. However I had to close it down about 3 quarters of the way through. It then processed the album art. How can I convert the files that it didn't finish doing the first time? thanks

Hi there,
hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
Thank you!

You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

I have 60 000 songs on a hard drive. The songs are referenced to the media file and not stored in the media file. I have moved the songs to another external drive. The itunes library has lost the link to the media files. How can I restore the links?

I have all my songs (60 000) on a remote drive. The drive is wireless networked. I installed a new router and had to map the drive again. Once this was done itunes could no longer locate the music. My music is not sitting in my media file but is rather referenced to the location of the music. Now that the location has changed due to the remapped drive how can I link the itunes library to the songs (media)again.
I have read many help comments and forums but so far nothing specific about relinking once the songs have already been moved and are referenced songs.
A step by step procedure would be helpful.
Thank you
Graham

I've uploaded a newer version that might catch that error. For some background on the script look at this thread.
iTunes remembers the location of each file in the database. If you right-click on a missing file, click Get Info, cancel when it asks you to try to find it, then look on the summary tab it will show you the last known location in the form file://localhost/<some path>. If you put the files back where they are expected to be, close iTunes and reopen, then iTunes will find them again. If not my script can attempt the task. When the script asks for a media folder you should respond with Z:\ since that seems to be where the artist folders are located.

Media files on my iPod touch are categorized as other and I can't use them

I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my cousins computer and all my media files were tranfered to other. They still take up space on the iPod but there not where they are supposed to be. I think something like this happened when I had my iPod video but I fixed it easily by opening the iPod files with mycomputer and finding where they were I could right the wrong....however, my iPod touch does not appear in mycomputer wen I connect it but on my laptop wen I open mycomputer it appears as a camera and I cannot do anything with that. Is this normal....should my iPod appear in mycomputer......and how do I fix the problem with my media files being categorized as other.
P.S. If I add new media files they go where they are supposed to. I could restore my iPod and start over but I don't have backups so I want to get them back in there proper place

I really don't want to do that......is there anything the people at the apple store can do?
Also.....I was was having a problem viewing videos. The videos showed as bright colors i.e hilighter yellow and pink and it was distorted. Even youtube. I restored the settings and it stopped....did this happen to any1 else and is it something I should be worried about although its gone?

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.

Iomega 250 external hard drive - not all files show up

Hello,
I purchased a MacBook Pro last weekend. I have an Iomega 250 Gig external USB/Firewire hard drive. I have been able to connect it through USB and Firewire to my Mac. I have video clips in windows media player, quicktime and real player formats on the hard drive. All of my word files and music are showing up on my Mac but the video files do not. Does anyone have any suggesstions on what I can try to make them show up?
Thank you!

Hello,

to my Mac.
I hope you mean you have tried USB and FireWire separately. Don't use both at the same time on the drive. FireWire should be a bit better.
Did you generate this disk on a Widows machine? If so, it may be in NTFS format. The Mac can read, but not write or modify a NTFS disk.

By not showing up, do you mean the video files won't play? Real files need the free player from <http://www.real.com>. Some Windows Media files can be played using software from <http://www.flip4mac.com>, but their Intel version is not out yet. Do any of the file or folder names begin with a period? That would make them invisible to the Mac.

Source File shows White Screen in Source + Program Monitor

Hello,
I'm having an issue with only one of three media files in my Premiere Pro CS6 project.
When I try to preview this one video file in the Source Monitor, it shows only a white screen, and I can only move the playhead to the beginning and end of the file. I then plopped the clip into the sequence to see if rendering it would give me better luck in the Program Monitor, yet to no avail. The file supposedly successfully rendered, yet when I open the subsequently created "Preview" file in VLC, the entire clip is completely white for its entire duration. (I think it's interesting to note that VLC plays the source file correctly, and that this footage has been successfully used in a separate project in Final Cut after converted to ProRes with Compressor.)
I've opened the file with GSpot to make sure I had the Codec installed, yet GSpot doesn't list any Codec information for this file. It only lists Container information.
(Screen shot of GSpot with white-screen issue in the background)
My Video Card drivers are up to date, taken directly from the chipset's manufacturer's website.
Codec: (See post below for Media Info dump)
Premiere Pro version 6.0.3 (001 (MC: 264587)), installed in English.
Sequence Settings: DVCPROHD 1080i50 default settings (framerate changed to 50FPS)
Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1, English, 1440x900 32bit Color
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00 GHz
2GB RAM
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Driver version 8.15.10.2869
53.2GB of free space on the SSD all of the media files, the operating system, the Adobe Premiere installation, and scratch disk is located.
I'm unsure of the camera used to record this footage.
Thanks for reading my post, and let me know if you need any more information.

FCP wants to scatter my media files everywhere - should I force it not to?

Hey,
We're an up and coming church starting with FCP on a couple of machines here, and before we make too many projects I'd like for us to make our naming and storing conventions consistent. So I wrote down what I thought would be a decent system - it basically looks like this:
-YYYY-MM-DD Project Name
---Sources
-----Capture scratch
-----Audio (like music)
---Processing
-----Video
-----Audio
---Exports
------YYYY-MM-DD Description.mov
---Project.fcp
(All of these are folders except italics which represent sample filenames)
For me, it really seems logical to keep all of the media source files and my project file in the same folder. In my mind, this has several benefits:
- It's easy to backup
- It's easy to look at a glance to see how much disk space a given project is using
- If I need to take my project and go edit on another machine, I can grab my folder and know I have everything
Also, I tend to work with a finder window open in the folder where my project files are in. This way, as I create new files I can see them all and quickly open them in different applications (because each Application's "import" dialogs typically defaults to a different folder, and I spend all day navigating to my project folder in all these applications). I like having the Finder window open - I can see everything, get a sense for what junk is laying around, see at a glance if something is off, etc.
But Final Cut insists on setting your scratch disks as a per-system setting - spreading your media project files all over creation (your render files, waveform cache, and capture scratch files are nowhere near each other - you have to navigate outside of each one's project folder to get to the other one), and I'm having a lot of difficulty understanding the benefits in this. One might be the assumption that after you finish a project that you're going to delete your caches and capture scratch, but this is rarely the case for me (for a number of reasons – a biggie is that we have ~1.5TB of space). But even so - I still don't understand why you would separate all of the files so far apart.
Maybe this is just a workflow I'm new to, but with the folder separation I can't do my typical "leave the finder window open and use it to manage your files" workflow I'm used to on Windows. I could use spotlight to make a "smart folder" "containing" everything, but then I can’t click + drag files into that 'folder' so they’re accessible to other applications. It seems I could force FCP to put everything where I want it to be, but since it's not a per-project setting, I would need to re-set four folder settings each time I open a project - and I'm bound to accidentally forget once or twice, which would really mess things up.
So, I guess the reason I'm here (since FCP seems reliant on maintaining it's way of doing things) is to see if I can ask some of you to persuade me why doing things FCP's way is better. I've looked at a number of FCP workflow tutorials and none of them even hint at the thought that FCP's workflow is flawed - they all go merrily about showing you how to use it.
Is there some big obvious thing I'm missing? Some reason I should want my files chaotically organized across a number of different drives? Apart from the assumption I'm going to be deleting my caches and media files (like I said - I think is fairly rare), I can't see one single advantage in this. It's certainly not redundancy - it only takes one of your drives dying to knock out your project for sure.
Sorry for the long post. I'd just like to do things right... and usually that means accepting the manufacturer's defaults. But I'd really like to understand why first.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum Oreckel!
The best way to work with FCP's media files is to not overthink it. It's all done from the "Scratch Disk" settings. Just select a DRIVE for media captures and renders to go to. FCP handles the rest. It creates a folder called "Capture Scratch", another called "Renders" and a third called "Audio Renders". In each of these folders it creates a folder for each project file containing the media that is associated with that particular project, and it names these folders the same as your project files' names. Couldn't be easier.
Autosave Vaults, Waveforms, and Thumbnails should be kept on your startup disk in your documents folder. You probably already have one there named "Final Cut Pro Documents" If it's there just select the Documents folder and FCP will put these three folders in the one named "Final Cut Pro Documents".

IWork 08 Pages "The media file can't be used because it's corrupt"

I am creating a school Yearbook - lots of photos. Pages has been running really slowly and to add to my problems when I reopened my pages document, most of the pictures on the pages I worked on have been replaced by grey blocks with a question mark in it. I am not able to replace the grey blocks with the pictures that used to be in there as it gives me the error message "The media file can’t be used because it’s corrupt". However, the photos work perfectly well in other Pages documents and other programs such as preview, word and so on...
I am finding the whole experience of working on Pages very demoralizing. Any help out there?

Hi naglechocolate
Welcome to the forum.
Pages is far from a professional DTP program and when you get down to some real world tasks does show more than a few rough edges.
I suspect you may have just pushed it too hard.
As Yvan says it includes the whole image in the document, unlike most DTP programs which work with links. So I would concentrate on not making those images too large.
With a school yearbook, the photos are usually one or 2 standard sizes and need to be printed at a finished resolution of 300dpi, so you can crop and size them before you import them to be most efficient.
*Preview .app* will do this for you for free but there are also 3rd part utilities that can make a much a set workflow out of this often tedious process.

Windows Media file write failure

Help, I'm using a Gateway computer with Windows XP Professional OS, version 2002 and Service Pack3. It has Intel Core CPU, 6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2.41 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM. I have both Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4 installed. There's 54.1 GB of free space on my Hard Drive with 94.9 GB used.
I used to create .wmv files without issue with CS3 but with CS4 there's a failure every time. The project exports to Media Encoder and Encoder goes through all of the process and even looks like it finishes up. But once it gets to the end, here's the message I get.
Windows Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the Data for (my file) The Data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save file elsewhere.
It also had this message in separate window:
Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event
Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error.
[..\..\src\Batch.cpp-186]
I tried changing all of the variables I could in the Media Encoder for creating a Windows Media File. For ex. you can choose several presets: "NTSC source to high quality download" "NTSC Source to Download 1024kbps " and several others. I haven't tried changing anything on the Filters, Audiences, Video, Audio or Others tabs. I never had to with CS3. Plus I don't know much about the Codec for Video or Audio.
Any help is appreciated.

Rick,
WMV is a very intense CODEC to work with. It requires power and time on either end - decoding or encoding. My guess would be that the throughput of the USB 2.0 connection just cannot keep up with that processing, where many other formats/CODEC's are easier to work with.
As for the minimum requirements, we find that they are horribly light. To lift from Monty Python, "we blow our noses in their general direction." They are provided to tell a user what it takes to install and launch the program, but when it comes to using said program - well, that is usually another matter.
If you have a desktop, and it has room in the case, you can most likely just add two more (2x is about the true min., and 3x is better) physical HDD's, of the controller type as your C:\. Depending on the MoBo, you probably have a SATA controller, and could add up to 3 additional drives, for basically the price of the drive, some cables, if not supplied, and a few screws. Most cases have the necessary mounting, or cages, for additional drives. Note the words "most," "probably," etc., as nothing in the PC world is created equal.
Were I making the request, I'd propose adding 2 more HDD's, at 7200 RPM and of the same controller type as your C:\. I'd ask for a minimum size of 500GB, but shoot for 1TB for each. Do not know if you have a Fry's Electronics near you (they are a Western US retailer), but they constantly have at least one such HDD on sale per week, and at very good prices.
Ignore SCSI. It's good and fast, but the drives are limited in size and the $/GB is not high. A RAID 0 array would be good for the media drive (actually it would be 2 HDD's), but to really benefit, one would do best with a hardware managed RAID, and most RAID controllers on MoBo's leave something to be desired. Harm makes recommendations for dedicated hardware RAID, but then you are talking having to do a real "dog & pony" show for you CFO, or Controller!
Maybe Harm has some suggestions, considering that you are on a city's budget.
Good luck, and glad that things are working for you. Think about relegating that USB 2.0 external to archiving Assets.
