Original file missing after sync-ing folder with PS edit versions

Here's an oddly specific and challenging problem for you, I bet you can't figure it out (I'm trying to pluck your competitive strings).
I just noticed that some of my photos are missing from the library in lightroom, specifically the original versions of photos that have virtual copies edited in photoshop in folders that have since been synchronized. Weird, and very anoying. The files are still there (in wondows explorer) but when I try to re-import them lightroom doesn't see them, only the PS edited copies (.tif files). I told lightroom to allow duplicates and it sees all the photos in the folder except those missing ones. This does not happen to my PS edited virtual copies in folders that have not been synchronized. It is not a matter of stacking, or at least Lightroom does not think the PS copies are stacked at all so I can't unstack them. This is really annoying and I'm hoping someone can help me get them back into lightroom (preferably with the accompanying development settings) and also how to avoid this problem in the future. If you need any further details or screenshots let me know
PS: I import files from my camcorder using a different program because lightroom does not acknowledge that particular video file format. That's why I have to synchronize some folders and not others.

The first group are from one of the synchronized folders so only the PS copy shows up in lightroom. The second group are from a folder than hasn't been synchronized so the PS and original files both show up in lightroom.

Music files missing after sync with iTunes

All of my devices are updated to the last version.
I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
Zen style APPLE !!

It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
try this:
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Problems sync'ing iPod with iTunes

I purchased some episodes of The Office through iTunes recently. Initially these episodes appeared on my iPod after sync'ing. Now, when I sync, the episodes will not transfer to my iPod. They appear in my iTunes account, the checkboxes are checked, but I can't get them on my iPod.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts?

Disregard.
I found an option in iTunes where you can set the Play Count to zero. When this is set to zero and you sync your iPod, all content appears on your iPod.
Not sure if this is the best solution, but it works.

I have 3 iTunes courses that i downloaded using my iPad. After syncing my iPad with iTunes on my mac, these 3 courses do not appear on my mac iTunes library yet they are still on my iPad.

I have 2 other courses that I downloaded frim my iPad and these appeared on my iTunes (mac) library.
Any idea why the other 3 that i downloaded were not synced in iTunes?

You and the iPad can function with the Remote App from across the room, or in another room.
However, your stereo system has to have a way to communicate or connect with the computer. Unless it has some kind of wifi connector or has Bluetooth, I don't see how you can do this.
There is no app or software to resolve this. You need a way for the stereo to connect.

After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up. Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer. Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

Can no one help? Sync'ing iPhone with a new computer after crash on old PC

Hi all,
I'm hoping any lack of response was because you were taking time off at Christmas and not that I defeated the best of the bests.
Hopefully your reply is simply a case of saying 'YES!' to the steps below.
Here's a sort of potted timeline history as to what has occurred:
My iPhone 3GS was backed up via sync to 2 different location PCs.
The main location was here at 'home' where I managed my Music Library and Apps on a Vista based laptop.
My 'Work' PC simply dealt with sync of Contacts with a folder in Outlook.
The home PC was backed up fully typically once a fortnight.
A few weeks ago, my home PC had a catastrophic failure and it is clear I can't recover from the HDD.
I restored the key folders from the backup to a 'from backup' folder on the new PC and not the same folder structure as it has Windows 7.
From this folder I moved the entire contents of my music folder into Windows 7's music folder (and there is a sub-folder in there called 'itunes').
So, after reading a couple of threads, bizarrely enough, this one on iPad seems the nearest scenario to mine http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11527315
user, 'virtualgeo' summarises neatly the steps of sync'ing so I guess this would figure the same here but with an iPhone?
I'veinstalled the latest iTunes on my new PC and I'm ecstatic to see all my music and apps appear on running up iTunes for the first time.
I've gone to Edit>Preferences>Devices and checked the box next to "Prevent your iPod from automatically syncing" (However I see no previous backups being shown in this window. Is it worth recovering this from my backup?)
I've also authorised the new computer successfully.
So I was going to continue following virtualgeo's steps in the thread but not sync'ing contacts if that looks sensible?
Anything else I should do before connecting my iPhone to iTunes?
And out of interest, should I be backing up my iTunes separately to my PC backup?
Many thanks in advance!

Well I forget the exact keys, but believe pressing and holding down CTRL before clicking Restore will allow you to browse and find the backup file (may be wrong).
In the end, as far as the iPhone thinks, it is a new computer so it will erase and resync stuff and as long as you loaded everything back into iTunes all should sync back. Main issue is other stuff like the data within the apps, notes, etc that are part of the backup which is why you would want to try to restore from the backup. If you don't mind losing data in apps (eg: do you care you have to relog into some apps and start over, don't care about game scores, etc) then you don't have to worry about the backup. If you have important data in some of those apps then you will need to restore from the backup.

Steps to Sync'ing iPhone with a new computer after crash on old PC

Can not play songs due to something with original file missing.

Hello, Just recently a lot of my songs can not be played because all of a sudden When i try to play the song it says, the song "song" could not be played because the original file could not be found, would you like to locate it? but it just happened to a ton of my songs after i finally decided to have it all organized into the itunes folder, didnt realise i hadn't before.
I have about 300-400 or even more songs that are recieving this error message.

kidsbesides74 I am with you there man, I know I sound like the usual Mac poster, but yes I have been a Mac head forever and have had every iPod/iTunes since the first, but I am STUCK, I have tried all these suggestions, but I can not get the bulk of my iTunes collection, ( 2000 of over 4000) songs to play because of the same problem, It just says that this Apple ID does not exist even though I can see it right there in the >Get Info for each of these songs. I will have to call Apple directly in the morning, I just hope they don't do that thing where they say that I must be doing something wrong. Is there a limit of two Apple ID's , I now have two Apple ID's here at the house and a third at the office could that be the problem ? if so, how do I get the songs I paid for folded into my other account?

Gift Audiobook Media Files Missing after iPhone sync

Hi All
I recently received an Audiobook as a gift, I happily redeemed this into my iTunes 11 and synced it onto my iPhone. So far so good.
However when I returned to iTunes, the audiobook appears to exist but if I try to play it, iTunes it says it cannot find the media files and invites me to locate them myself. I cannot find them either. However the book is still there on my iPhone. The purchase shows as a gift in my account but being an Audiobook I can't re-download. All this took place before the next TimeMachine cycle so there is no backup except on the phone.
Any ideas how I recover from this error condition?
Many thanks

I'm now having the same issue here. It seems for me it has something to do with importing the files from a Home Sharing Library. But after syncing, the files are gone.

Itunes purchased song could not be located because original file missing

I got a new Air and downloaded several songs from the Itunes store, but after I imported my library from my old G4 it no longer can play the new songs. The error message says, "The song 'blank' could not be located because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes, it sends me to a window with the documents folder selected. Of course the song is not there.
I have the new songs on my ipod nano, is there any way to get them back from there? Or perhaps another way? Help.

Hey there!
Thanks also by replying... It seems that my library is back to normal now... But as soon as it starts asking for original file locations, I'll try that what you told me!
Merci and have a good day!

Hundreds of files "missing" after upgrade?

After I upgraded to the new iTunes, there are hundreds of files that are marked with the exclamation point, and it says they can't be located. I tried following the instructions on the support site to replace my library file with a previous one, but that didn't work. I tried re-copying my music files into my iTunes music folder, and I see the files there, but that still didn't help. I can double-click on each and tell it to locate the file, and I find it and replace the one that's there. It works for that individual song, and then I get the option to look in the same location for the other files, but it always says that none of them could be found (they're all right there). Is there any way to avoid doing this individually for a few hundred songs? And whyyyyy did iTunes screw up my whole library after the upgrade? So frustrating. I want to go back to when it worked...

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
I can't tell you why it happened in your case.
DO you have your music library on an external drive? Things can go wrong if you start iTunes with it unplugged.
Anyway one thing you can do if all your tracks are bad is to drag iTunes library.it from your music folder to the desk top and then start iTunes. iTunes will create an empty library. Now youn can add your iTunes Media folder. This loses counts, ratings an play lists but it is quick.
If you don't like that, Something you can do to figure out what went wrong is to open iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting <key>Location</key>
These contain the paths to files, note that spaces are replaced by %20.
By inspecting these it may be possible to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
You may need to make file extensions visible to identify itl and xml files.

HT4477 One complete family file missing after installing iPhoto 11 ??

One complete family file of photo's is missing after installing iPhoto 11. Installation went smoothly, and all other files complete. Have checked thru entire photo lists, including photo list at the top. Found two photo's in that should have been in that photo list that were downloaded 2 months prior to installing iPhoto 11. I keep files of each family branch on left side iPhoto window. Only the one file is missing. ????

I meant folder. Have 6 kids, and to keep track of each family quickly, I set up folders on left side of iPhoto. All others are there.

Need 2 Audigy4 software files missing after auto-update

Hi:
Two requests here... (thanks in advance).
I performed an auto-update of my SBAudigy4 software components, only
to find unfortunately that the following files are now missing (and maybe
more):
"C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy4\Entertainment Center\RCSettings.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy4\Audio Device Selection\CTAudSel.exe"
The original CD does not let me re-install the application, and the binaries
above are in ".cab" files which, try as I may with several CAB tools, I can't
open up.
Can anyone who has the latest version of these two files, zip them up and email
them to me. Actually, if its not too much trouble (or to big) the entire
"Entertainment Center" and "Audio Device Selection" directories would be
great, in case I'm missing a few more files than I realize.
Also, does anyone happen to have a PDF file explaining how to configure
the RM-500 remote control. I got the Audigy4Pro with my Alienware and
don't see a manual. (and the "manual.chm" file sucks).
My email is: [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thanks for your help in advance.
Noelle

Hi [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/view_profile?user.id=2788" target=top><SPAN>xmn[/url] :
Thanks for replying. Yes, the files are probably on the CD but, as I mentioned, are compressed
in any one of several ".CAB" files which I cannot open no matter what CAB tool I use. Could you
send them to me... that would be grand. Either the two files I specified, or even better, the entire
directory each file is held in would be great. A zip or rar file with that data will do.
Thanks for the help.
