Parallels - library problem

I've been using Parallels for some time with no problems. Today when booting I got the error message:file/users/........../library/parallels/winxp/winxp.hdd. The file is in use by another application. Rebooting the computer does not help, rebooting parallels does not help. Help

Since Parallels is not an Apple product you may want to post your question on the Parallels forums rather than an Apple forum:

  • The missing library problem.

    I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
    Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
    Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
    Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
    What I haven't tried
    Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
    Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
    What is happening:
    So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
    What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
    The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
    iT 1.tmp
    iT 2.tmp
    iT 3.tmp
    iT 4.tmp
    Temp file 1.tmp
    Temp file 2. tmp
    Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
    My own personal opinion
    Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
    TL;DR:
    Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

    No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 - Music library problems...

    Hello,
    Just bought a Nokia E5, looks to be a sweet phone so far...
    Only, Ovi Suite is just annoying. Very slow on communicating with the phone (USB connection) and some big problems.
    Impossible to delete music from the library ! How is that ?? And also the library takes ages to add a new folder.
    Also, not seeing the playlist i've made on the phone ? Either on mass storage connection, in the playlist folder of the phone, nothing... But should be on a other threat.
    Hope you can solve the library problem because it's quite annoying.
    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    @satari
    Yeah, alright already!
    We get that without you plastering this message over EVERY single thread dealing with issues of that truly useless and pathetic piece of  software called Ovi-Suite.
    Especially since the new version DOES NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND IN THE THREADS YOU MASS PASTED INTO!
    Ovi-Suite 3.x still no longer syncs music, which IMHO is a basic function. Who on earth wants to be forced to manually update the phone playlists and songs whenever songs are added on the PC? That is beyond backwards.
    Hello? It's 2011, not 1991.
    Ovi Suite 3.x still randomly refuses to add songs to the library on the PC (e.g. it skips several songs from an album folder, yet they play fine when added to the phone manually outside Ovi-Suite), an issue that can only be corrected by deleting the entire library on the PC and recreating it. A "repair library" function is notoriously absent.
    I'd like a so called Smartphone to make tasks easier and more comfortable instead of harder.
    Newer Nokia handsets may be slightly less bad, but the N97 with Ovi-Suite is still the smartphone/desktop combo from hell.
    The fruit phone/ITunes combo is sadly restricted by the greed and desire to control everything of Apple, but at least the products work reliably and consistently for the most part. The same is true for 'Droid devices.
    Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

  • Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

    I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
    1. Now i have a  library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
    2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

    your serial number is for an upgrade version.  you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
    after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
    if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

  • Library problem and question.

    I'm sure that if I could check through the whole of the topic list and read all of the threads that seem to be relevant, I might find the answer,but I don't have enough time, and I don't know how to compose a search that would find me the answers I need accurately enough. I have two matters I need help with.
    (1) When the betas of LightRoom came out, I thought I would give it a try as it seemed to do what I wanted in terms of importing my photos and maintaining a database. Fundamentally it does, but as a result of the experimentation I did, things are a little confused in terms of the library.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with an external desktop HD, and I have recently bought a 120GB "pocket" HD. I am now shooting in RAW all the time, but some of the photos in the library are JPGs from my previous camera. My plan is to use the pocket drive to store the photos on, with a back-up on the desktop external. What I am currently doing is using DNG Converter to pull them off the card and save them on the pocket drive. Then I import the DNGs into LightRoom and organise them in collections. However, I also have many many JPGs from my previous camera which I would like to import. They are rather scattered in terms of where they are located.
    The Library is currently the one that I set up when originally trialling the beta; it is on the HD of the MacBook Pro, backed up to the desktop HD, but there is another library on that HD that I set up while experimenting which contains other photos which I need to bring into a single library. I really feel I need to redo it completely starting again from scratch so that I can bring everything together in a better organised manner. What would be the best way to do that? And what is the best location for the library database?
    (2) The last time I imported some photos -- having done the DNG conversion and saved them to the pocket drive -- I then dragged them in batches to appropriate collection folders. However, for some of them, they do not appear in the folder I dragged them to, nor in any of the others ... they only appear in the overall "Library: all photographs" and "Library: Previous import". How can I retrieve them so that I can put them in the appropriate collection folder so that I can include them in the gallery based on that? The original DNGs are still in the folder on the pocket drive.
    Sorry, this has been long and rambling, but I would really appreciate any help and advice.

    Thanks for the reply Sean.<br /><br /><It sounds like you expect to be able to drag images from Previous Import into a folder. ><br /><br />I fear that is what I may have tried to do with these particular photos the first time when they got lost, but it is not what I normally do.<br /><br />I have a folder on the pocket drive called DNGs. Within this are a number of sub-folders for different sets of photos, Xiada, Longyan, Wuyishan, etc. When I use DNG Converter to take the RAW images off the card I have it put them in the main DNG folder, because for instance there may be some photos of flowers among them that I want eventually to go in the Flora sub-folder and photos of buildings that I want to go in the Xiada folder, even though all the photos were actually taken on the Xiada campus.<br /><br />When I import them into LR, they are found in a folder in the left pane of LR called DNGs. From there I drag them into the appropriate sub-folders, each time getting an alert about moving the photos on the disk.<br /><br />As I say, with the 9 photos in question, thinking back I may have dragged them from the "Previous Import". The result is that although the DNGs in question are invisible within LR, even though I deleted them rather than removed them, and I have gone through the whole process starting from getting them off the card again using DNG Converter, and they are now visible in the DNG folder in LR, when I drag them from there to the folder I want them in, LR issues an alert that "A file named P1000xxx.dng already exists at the destination" and doesn't move it, even though that photo is not visible.<br /><br />Again, as I said, on my desktop external drive, there is a parallel folder structure to the one on the pocket drive, and looking at the relevant folder using the finder, photos of those names are in that. I can delete them using the finder, but am worried that if I do so, the LR database will be corrupted. On the other hand, as they are there, but LR doesn't show them in the library, perhaps it is only the system that knows they are there and not LR, so deleting them will not affect the library.<br /><br />I guess the thing to do is to export all the photos in the library to a new location as DNGs with the metadata to XMPs, ready to redo the whole library set up from scratch  fortunately I am only dealing with a few hundred photos, not thousands or tens of thousands  and then try deleting them. If the current library is corrupted, then I can make a new one  I was going to wait until 1.1 and do that anyway  and if it doesn't then I should be able to do the move into the folders without problem.<br /><br />Also thinking round this, I should perhaps be using collections rather than folders anyway, so I must explore that for future reference.<br /><br />Mark in China

  • Library problems with two XP user accounts accessing music in shared folder

    I'm sorry if this has already been answered; I have not been able to find the answer. My wife and I each have a different user account on the same Windows XP machine. I recently combined our iTunes libraries into the shared folder on the computer. I correctly pointed iTunes (in each of our accounts) to the correct location for the music files. I did an "Add Folder to Library" to make sure each account had all of the music. When I did this, I got duplicate listings of all of the songs that also had exclamation points. When I did a "Get Info" on these songs, I found that each song was correctly pointed to the correct file location. I laboriously deleted each "exclamation point" song one at a time (in each account). Now the problem I have is that whenever my wife or I close iTunes and the other person opens iTunes in their XP user account, none of the songs can be found. The best way I've been able to resolve this is to (unfortunately) delete the entire library, and do an "Add Folder To Library" to find all of the song locations and include all of the songs back into the library. Surely this can't be how this is supposed to work.
    So, my questions are:
    - Do I need to add new albums / songs one at a time to avoid duplicates (rather than use the "Add Folder" for the entire iTunes music folder again)?
    - How do I setup iTunes so that my wife and I can each go into iTunes in our seperate XP accounts and have all of our songs right where we left them (WITHOUT having to delete the entire libary and "add" again.)
    FYI: I'm using the latest version of iTunes and (again) I'm using Windows XP.
    My wife and I really want to each get a new iPod Nano, but if I can't trust iTunes... forget it.
    THANKS!!!

    I have this setup at working. Two accounts with all files stored on a shared folder, mine is a network drive. Each account has its own library and can access all files. We also use one iTunes account for rare purchases.
    This is how did initial setup:
    Make a folder in the shared folder. I called mine itunes.
    This is where iTunes stores its files.
    With second account point iTunes at shared folder.
    Import the folder you created earlier.
    This worked for me without duplications. The only complication is that when importing from CD with one account the other doesn't know it. The other account must do import on the folder for the CD just imported. We keep track of this with a spreadsheet updated to show which account has which CD files.

  • Parallels + Bootcamp = Problem/ Please Help me

    Hey,
    I am using an external Firewire drive, because my internal is damaged. So I was not able to install windows xp through bootcamp (Bootable device Error).
    So what I did is, I made a Bootcamp Partition and I set up Parallels to install Windows on the Bootcamp Partition.
    Everything works fine. Installer shows up, I reformat using NTFS Quick Format, and then it copies the install files, and then The Virtual Computer Reboots. But after Rebooting, not the normal installer shows up, but the installation screen from the beginning where I can format my partitions and hard drives -- again.
    What is the problem here? Can Anybody help me on that?
    I am using Parallels 3.0.
    Thanks in advice.

    Hi
    You should make a mapping for the service sapmsPRD in your /etc/services file (On Windows: C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERSETCservices). If your instance number is 00 you will have to add the following entry:
    sapmsPRD      3600/tcp
    Good luck!

  • Upgrading my Computer and have a corrupt library problem...

    I am upgrading my Macbook Pro, which is almost 2 years old, to a newer model. I am currently using Aperture 1 but will have Aperture 2 on my next computer.
    Now my current problem is a corruption in my library that causes Aperture to crash every time I restart it. The only way I have found around this is to delete the aperture.aplib file and rebuild my library every time I have to restart.
    Obviously when I get my new laptop I plan on transferring all my files over to it. The question is, should I just risk it and see if upgrading the library to Aperture 2 on a new computer fixes my problem, or is there some way I could troubleshoot the problem before my new computer arrives. I've tried to locate the corrupted files with no luck and I've restored the library maybe 30 times by now.
    Any advice would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I'd try making a second Library, then systematically exporting each Project form the old Library to the new one. This should at least diagnose which Project may be causing problems.
    Obviously, you're going to need plenty of free HD space...

  • N96 Music Library Problems

    Hi Guys n Gals
    Have a problem with my music library it won't refresh. the refresh bar will come up but it doesn't update and doesn't finish I have to manually stop it.
    I have cleared the majority of my music on the phone all bar the preinstalled stuff and a few downloads from the music store (no more than 15)
    I had a look on the board for people with the same problem and I tried the deletion of the 3 "private folder" files then perform a refresh.  My problem is that I started the refresh 12 hours ago - AND ITS STILL GOING!!!
    I'm thinking of taking a full backup of my phone via pc suite performing a reinstall of the latest firmware restoring the files and hoping for the best!
    Anyone got any solutions that do involve sending it for repair I've already had it away before for numerous other things and don't wanna part with if again if I can resolve it myself.
    Thanks xox
    I love my N96.... WHEN IT WORKS!!!!!

    13 hours is way, WAY too long
    When I said a long time, I meant like 10 minutes!
    I was going to suggest that maybe it was too many files in a single folder - used to be something that caused similar problems - however, if you've deleted all the music, that obviously can't be it.
    Have you tried a factory reset?  There's a menu option under something like Tools .. Settings .. General or there are the *# numbers or the 3 finger salute.

  • Import Tag library problem in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0

    I want to have an FCKEditor on a JHeadstart generated page, so I downloaded the FCKFaces jar with the tag library in it.
    When I try to add the FCKFaces tag library to my project, doing just that and not modifying any code, when I run my application after that I get an empty page... No data in the project. This is very confusing because everything works well, no code errors, the fck library is found and auto completion works with the library.
    So when I have the empty page, to view the JHeadstart page again I just have to shut down JDeveloper, go to the project/web-inf/lib directory and delete the FCKFaces jar. When I do that and start up again, the page loads successfully.
    Thanks for the help in advance..

    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried your solution but still the same problem remains.. I don't have a clue what's wrong with the project, everything works well except for that the page's aren't rendered on execution.

  • [SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

    I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
    Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
    $ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
    libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
    libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
    libxul.so => not found
    libxpcom.so => not found
    libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
    What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
    I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
    EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.
    Last edited by SnapShot (2008-09-12 02:50:01)

    I have solved my problem and I will post my solution because it can be usefull to others.
    First the problem with flashplugin and GTK library path. Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
    The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
    case "$wrapper" in
    *ia32*)
    export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
    export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
    esac
    In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
    I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.
