Note to Terence vis-a-vis corrupted library

Hi Terence,
I created a new library. I'm dragging my photos from the 'originals' folder into the new library. I'm getting a pop up message saying 'Unreadable Files'. Almost a thousand files from the original library are now 'unreadable'.
"The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
And yet, all those files look just fine, were in yesterday's iPhoto Library before it got corrupted, and all open easily into Preview or Photoshop. Nothing wrong with them.
What might this be, do you think? Anything to do with the originals being on an external drive? Or do you see another problem here?

You will get that message if you're dragging from the active iPhoto Library to the iPhoto Window. However, as you're making a new library it should not arise.
Some things to try. Drag a folder of images to the desktop first. Then into the new iPhoto Window. See if that helps.
If it doesn't, open one of the files with Preview and save it again. Then see if it will import.
Regards

  • Do NOT use Dropbox for iPhoto backups - corrupted library

    So after a couple of weeks of problem solving I've just been able to recover part of my 72gb iPhoto library.
    My office was burgled a short while before Xmas so I was left to recover my stuff all from Dropbox which I have set to synchronise, together with iTunes. Problem is, Dropbox sees the iPhoto library in a totally different way to OSX, so when I grabbed the package, it wasn't coherent.
    I've had to do a lot to try to rebuild, repair both the database and thumbnails, but there's still so many missing thumbnails etc and there appears to be an entire year missing. So I have a huge task of manually pulling images back in from the backed up (corrupted) package.
    Can anyone tell me, what's the original folder? Is it Originals or Masters??
    Meanwhile, how can I fix this?
    Thumbnail is correct, when I click on file:
    I get this:

    If all else fails and you can confirm that the Masters folder contains your  original source files you can try this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • LVDiff with VIs in library

    Hi, 
    I've successfully setup both LVDiff and LVMerge with TortoiseSVN and I'm using it heavily, but I get an error from LVDiff if the VI belongs to a library:
     Error 1004 occurred at Open VI Reference in NI_procmphier.lvlib:CMP compare two VIs.vi->lvdiff.viPossible reason(s):  LabVIEW:  The VI is not in memory.
    To load a VI into memory with the Open VI Reference function, a path must be wired for the VI Path input.
    VI Name: TMCalc_Qp.vi
    Has anyone changed LVdiff so that it works with VIs in library?

    I just had the same problem, strange that no one has seen it before...
    The correction is committed in the project's repository since 2 years, but the download archive contains an older version.
    You can download the right version from this link. Just replace the vi in the lvdiff directory!

    Yeah, this seems to be something to do with Google, not your iPhone. A search on that error found this page:

    which shows people using lots of browsers on different platforms suffering from it. No definitive solutions though.

  • TestStand 2010 Deployment not including TestStand VIs in deployment

    Hi all,
    I have a question about a deployment I am trying in TestStand 2010, having just recently upgraded from 4.2.1. I was building a particular deployment with no issues in TS 4.2.1, using LV 2010. The VIs in the project use the TestStand Get/Set Property VIs quite a bit, and in the 4.2.1 support VIs directory, you can see them there.
    However, using the same deployment configuration, I tried to build the deployment in TS 2010. This deployment didn't have any of the TestStand VIs which were present in the 4.2.1 deployment. As a result, VIs that call the TestStand VIs are reported as broken. Note that the VIs were created while I was using 4.2.1, so the TestStand VIs are for that version (it has never been an issue for previous upgrades, however).
    Recap:
    TS 4.2.1, LV2010 - Deployment works fine
    TS 2010, LV2010, using same deployment configuration file - Deployment broken, no TS VIs included in support VIs
    Ideally I'd like to sort this out at a deployment level, rather than employ any workarounds. Is there a difference in the TS 2010 and 4.2.1 VIs? Or am I missing something glaringly obvious?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Rob,
    I tried a small demo using TS2010 and LabVIEW 8.6.1 (only have this on my system at present)
    When I created my deployment image, I open the LLB that was created and present in the LLB was TestStand - Get Property Value (Number).vi.
    I then changed one of the options in the LabVIEW VI Options dialog so that I excluded files from VI lib and then rebuilt the Deployment image, TestStand - Get Property Value (Number).vi was missing, as expected.
    So It seems to be working for TS2010 and LabVIEW 8.6.1.
    Can you check that you haven't got any options selected that are excluding files.

  • The procedure entry point _StopSpyin​g@0 coule not be located in the dynamic link library NiSpyLog.d​ll

    When I try to use Ni Spy I receive the error:
    The procedure entry point _StopSpying@0 coule not be located in the dynamic link library NiSpyLog.dll
    Ni VISA 4.0
    Ni Spy 2.0.0.16
    Windows 2000

    I tried reinstalling before I came here.
    I got it figured out here was the problem.
    This is a new instalation so I downloaded tha latest VISA (4.0) and NI-488.2 (2.4)
    My GPIB controller (USB-A) was no longer supported NI-488.2 version 2.4 (but that's a rant for another day)
    So I uninstalled version 2.4 and installed version 2.2.
    It seems when version 2.4 was uninstalled it did not remove NiSpyLog.dll and when version 2.2 was installed it did not overwrite NiSpyLog.dll. Possibly because a newer version was already on the system?
    I manually removed NiSpyLog.dll and reinstalled just NiSpy from the ni 488.2 version 2.2 package and it works now.

  • Missing files - corrupt library after upgrade to 11.1.4

    I updated iTunes to 11.1.4, and after launching, it looked like it was updating my library as it's done in the past.  However, this time, after an hour I realized it had not yet completed, and a dialogue box asking about creating an iTunes U playlist was on the screen.  I tried to do so, but it just kept repeating.  So finally I stopped it, and now I have an file marked iTunes library (damaged) and an incomplete library.  I am missing thousands of songs compared to the last .itl I have in Previous iTunes Libraries.
    I thought when iTunes did an upgrade to the library it was supposed to make a backup? If so, and I did the upgrade yesterday, why is the most recent file in Previous iTunes Libraries dated from four months ago?
    How can I repair the damaged .itl file, as the one iTunes is using now as, as I mentioned, missing thousands of songs now.
    Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    I thought when iTunes did an upgrade to the library it was supposed to make a backup? If so, and I did the upgrade yesterday, why is the most recent file in Previous iTunes Libraries dated from four months ago?
    No, you need to do the backup as part of regular computer maintenance and before you do any software upgrades.  iTunes moves the old library into the previous library area but perhaps your update failed before it did that.
    How can I repair the damaged .itl file, as the one iTunes is using now as, as I mentioned, missing thousands of songs now.

    Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library?
    Yes, there's one on the Dougscripts web site that will crawl through a library.  In yur case it's probably just as easy to drag the whole iTunes media folder to Automatically Add to iTunes.  Anything already in the library it will ignore.  Anything not there it will add.

  • Help! I keep getting the following message: the procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.

    Hi,
    Since downloading the updated version of itunes around May this year I have had the following problems:
    1. This error message appears when my windows account launches:
    the procdure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
    2. I can't play any of the files in my itunes library. An error message appears indicating it can't find the files.
    3. When I plugged my iphone in to update it was corrupted and I have lost all 7000 + songs.
    You can guess that I am not a very happy bunny with itunes at the moment!
    Please, can anyone suggest how to sort this lot out.  I am aware that I've probably lost the ipod songs, but I need to get rid of the error message and be able to play the songs on from my library.  I've been without since May now and I'm wondering whether to even bother getting it sorted, but I have quite a few albums purchased on itunes that I don't want to lose!
    Thank you for your time.
    Michelle

    Thank you.  I'm going to investigate saving my itunes library to the icloud and then re-trying the Stellar Phoenix recovery now the error messages have gone.  If the Stellar doesn't work then I will try the advice in your link. I really appreicate the help you've given me - at least I have my itunes library back! I'm kind of resigned to re-loading my CDs back on - something to keep my busy in the winter months!
    I'll let you know how I get on, but it will probably be a few days.I'm not very technical so I have to wait for my husband to get in from work to help me with this side of things.  He's been busy working on the Olympics, so I he hasn't had much spare time for a while!

  • Ordinal 55 could not be found in the dynaminc link library iertutil.dll cs5.5 installation problem.

    Okay, so when i downloaded the trial version of Flash Professional CS5.5, the following popup "popped up".
    "The dynamic link library iertutil.dll could not be found. Reinstalling the application may solve this problem."
    So i went to a site that had helped me with this sort of thing before dll-files.com, and downloaded iertutil.dll, and placed it in my System32 folder.
    I pressed OK on the previous pop-up, only to be greeted with:
    "Ordinal 55 could not be found in the dynaminc link library iertutil.dll"
    Flash CS5.5 finished installing and works great, but the same Ordinal 55 popup pops up at least a hundred times a day, (It's even popping up as I write this) even when Flash isn't open
    I'm using Windows XP SP2, I have Internet Explorer 6 SP2 (though i usually use Google Chrome Instead)
    Thanks in advance...

  • The procedure entry point QTCF_CFHTTPMessageSetHeaderFieldValue could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll.

    The procedure entry point QTCF_CFHTTPMessageSetHeaderFieldValue could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll.
    I installed iTunes, then quicktime.  After I installed quicktime, I began seeing this pop up everytime I opened iTunes.
    iTunes works, this just appears everytime I open it.
    I completely uninstalled every apple software on my laptop, then reinstalled everything.
    Nothing happened, still the same.
    Windows 7
    64Bit

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem as the OP.  To answer some questions:
    I only have one copy of QTCF.dll.
    It is in the correct place.
    I have deleted it and repaired QT to replace it several times.
    I have tried different versions of QT.
    Win 7 Pro 64
    I ran SysInternals MS Process Monitor to see what was going on.  All programs which call this DLL were looking for it in their root directory, which suggested to me that the registry entry was either missing or corrupt, so...
    I ran Regsvr32 on the dll and received the following Windows message:
         "The module "qtcf.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found. Make sure that the "qtcf.dll" is a valid dll or OCX file and then try again"
    Now I'm out of ideas.
    Cheers,
    Tony

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)
