Playlist GONE, can't import .itl file cause not appear 2 b a valid exp file

For some unknown reason my playlists totally disappeared--I am so SAD. I want to import my library from my music folder but I keep getting the message "The file itunes library 1/08/2008.itl cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file". Huh? What can I do so that I can have my music back. I literally just sold most of my CD's and had over 600 songs in my library. THANKS for ANY HELP

the exact same thing happened to me! i have over 13,000 songs. Not only does it not allow me to import my previous playlist, but it also won't let me add the folders that contain the music, so i'm missing half of my music... My computer alerts me that I do know have write capabilities, but I apparently had them this morning because it was all there then... I don't get it.

  • This file does not appear to be a photoshop file error.

    Hello,
    I know this has been covered a few times already, but none of the previous threads about it were able to help my situation.
    Ok so here is what i did:
    Exported a JPEG from a timeline in FCP. Brought that JPEG into PS (i am using CS3), and changed the image size from 1920x1080 to 720x480. Then saved as a JPEG, didn't tick any boxes, just used default save as settings.
    I then brought those images into my Encore DVD Project, added them to the library, then placed one into a already made menu, and "sent to back".. so it became the new background. I did this with two menu's today. Note i have actually done this same exact process many times without problem. I then tried to build a dvd image of the project, and i got the "this file does not appear to be a photoshop file". Now it won't even let me open those menu's (plus another one, which i made a long time ago, and have even successfully built DVD's with), to edit them. I tried removing all the new JPEGS i added today, from the library, but still i get the same message.
    The menu's that i now can't open, took a very long time to make, and i need to have this DVD completed ASAP.. as it is being released world wide in a couple of weeks and i need to get it replicated. So i don't actually have time to remake these menu's. So if anyone can help me, that would be much appreciated, as i have studio exec's cracking down on me.
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Now, if one Imports the JPEG with its extension changed to PSD as a Menu, then the Menu is created, including the necessary Layers. The Menu is NOW a PSD, and when Opened in PS will reflect the Layer structure (try this at home). If one had constructed Buttons in the JPEG, they would now only be graphics on that one single Background Layer in the JPEG. They would not function as Buttons, but could be useful graphics for other things. One would then need to add real Button Layer Sets to the PSD to be able to add any navigation.
    Back in the post above, I suggested doing the Save_As to JPEG to see how things get changed. Use that in another test - Import that JPEG as a Menu. In Encore, try to Link to what had originally been Buttons in that Imported JPEG. What happens? Can you Link to them, even though you are now working with the created PSD?
    Now, add a Button, or two, from the Library. Choose Edit in Photoshop, and look at the Layer and Layer Set structure. Things have changed from the original JPEG, with only the Background Layer. You now have that Library Button's Layer Set structure.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    Here are looks at the structure, using the Library Menu Business>Clock:
    The Menu in PSD with the Layers Palette Open
    Same Image With Layers Flattened to Save As a JPEG
    What the JPEG Looks Like As a Flattened JPEG
    The only way to Import that JPEG into Encore as a Menu would be to change the file extension to PSD, but what appear to be Buttons would NOT be Buttons, but just static pixels in the Background.

  • Error Message** This file does not appear to be a photshop file

    Okay.. so I have been researching forums and have seen this message throughout, my issue seems to be slightly different. When I am in Encore CS3 and trying to create a menu, I import my background designed in photoshop, have the buttons set up correctly, test it in the preview screen and everything works correctly, the file is recognized as a psd file, and even saves as a project in encore. When I go to build my DVD I get an error saying "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file, although when I check the properties it recognizes it as a psd.. any suggestions?

    Adam,
    Not sure that I understand this message:
    And Actually yes I do have a circle in my button to play now.
    Can you enlighten me a bit. Does this mean that En has accepted the PSD, or something else.
    If something else, I would also look closely at the Layers in the PSD. While I do not recall very small Layers creating an issue in En, they have been known to do so in PrPro. This is often something like a very small logo, on a Layer by itself, with nothing but transparency around it. In PrPro, a message, similar to yours is offered up, but that is in Import, and you got it only with the Build.
    Too bad that the Check Project function is not a full pre-flight test of all Assets, like in InDesign, but it falls short, as it only checks for DVD-compliance in the navigation. I've filed Feature Request for more, but since En is built on the Sonic AuthorCore modules, I suppose that it's not as easy, as I would have hoped for.
    Good luck, and help me understand the above,
    Hunt

  • "This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file"

    Ok, I used the first edition of Encore in the past, but I just installed the version that came with Premiere CS3. I used Photoshop 6.0 to do my menus in the past, but just installed the trial of Photoshop CS3.
    Two things:
    My old menus I created in Photoshop 6.0 won't import into the new Encore.
    The new menus (I opened my old menus with CS3 and saved them out.) won't import into Encore either. In both cases, Encore says:
    "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file."
    The files are indeed all photoshop .PSD files and the Photoshop 6.0 files are actually menu files that were in the same .ncor project I used on the old Encore and opened on the new one.
    Why won't Encore read these?
    Thanks!

    Bummer,
    I hoped that I had helped.
    Let's play 20 Questions:
    The PSD files were originally created in PS 6, and you have Opened them in PS-CS3, from which they were Saved. Correct?
    Did CS3 throw any error messages?
    You state that they were Menus in Encore. Which version, and did they function perfectly there?
    I assume that when used in a previous ver. of Encore, they did function, but now you have Opened, worked on and Saved from PS-CS3. What changes were made?
    Was the Color Mode, or Bit-Depth changed, or were Alpha Channels introduced?
    Has your OS been changed?
    Will these files still Open fine in PS-CS3?
    I'm trying to find the point that they ceased to Import, as they should and find out what might have changed with them. You might want to do a bit of a timeline on the life of these files, i.e. 1.) created in PS6. 2.) used as Menus in Encore2. 3.) Opened and changed in PS-CS3 by doing X. 4.) Saved out as PSDs and attempted to Import into Encore CS3 with above error message...
    Something has to have changed, and the task is to find out what that is/was.

  • This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file - Menu won't import

    I was searching on the forums and found that some other people have had this problem, but I didn't see any solutions.
    When I try to build my DVD from Encore, I get this error "This fiel does not appear to be a Photoshop file.
    I created my menu in Photoshop CS4, imported it as a menu.  When I preview in Encore it works fine?
    The photoshop file is 8 bit color...should it be 16?  I tried that to, but it doesn't seem to change anything?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    The 2 bit image object that shows up to the right of the buttons on the highlighted state still was a little too crisp, but
    I'm going to try a little vertical blur like you said to see what happens.
    Well, the Vertical Blur will not work there. The Sub-picture Highlights cannot have any Styles, or Filters added to them. What I do to "simulate" a "glow" is to to create a second Sub-picture Highligh, in the next Layer down (in the same Button Layer Set)t, ever so slightly larger. I then set it's Transparency in Encore to be about 50%-30% of what the "original" Sub-picture Highlight's Transparency was. You can also assign another number from the Menu Color Set (this is done in PS), and then adjust that number's value in Encore to be a shade lighter of the original Sub-picture Highlight's. You will end up with maybe a 2 and a 3, and need to pick those colors from a Custom Color Set in Encore - cannot be done in PS, at least through CS3 and I do not believe in CS4 either. That might bear checking out, with someone like Jeff Bellune, or Jbowden. See this LINK for some tips, and this one for the full ARTICLE. The link to the version posted on Adobe has been lost, with the changeover in the forum. You can post and read at Muvipix.com, without a subscription, or even the free signup. Because of the wealth of Functional Content, stock music and Menus, etc., you might want to spend a bit of time poking around there.
    Though most of the article and discussion revolve around removing part of the Sub-picture Highlight, the final steps are for adding what appears to be a Blur. Remember, you only have ON, OFF, COLOR (limited to 4, including the background) and TRANSPARENCY, for each pixel in a Sub-picture Highlight. That's why you cannot have Styles, or similar. You have to create the illusion.
    Also, I created my lower third in Photoshop and saved out a .PNG file to import into Premiere.
    When I play the DVD, there seems to be some noise in the title.  Do you think that's because of how
    I saved the video out or because I used a .PNG?
    I do not know. I have never used the PNG format. Instead, I create all of my Titles (the ones that I do outside of Titler) in PS, often using AI for shapes, that will be Rasterized in the process. I do my Titles there, and then Save_As .PSD. If I wish to animate some of the Layers, I'll Import as a Sequence, if not, I Import as Footage. I always start from the image Preset to match my Project, so frame size and PAR are right to begin with. The only reason that I can think of for using PNG is the Transparency, but PSD offers that, and so much more.
    There is much that one can do with the animation of PSD Layers in PrPro. It's not as powerful, or as full-featured, as is AE, but many are surprised at how good it is.
    Best news is that you are almost there, and that things looked good on the DVD. If you have any trouble following the steps for the simulated Glow in the second Sub-picture Highlight, just let me know. It's been a whle, since I wrote that, and might need to re-visit it myself.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do:  Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version!    One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

  • HT2486 The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

    The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

    I guess your question is, "what's wrong with the file?"
    You're going to have to figure that out yourself, as we cannot see the file.
    Importing into Address book requires either a tab-delimited or a comma-delimited file. You can export out of most spreadsheets into a csv file. However, you need to make sure you clean up the file first.  If you have a field that has commas in the field, they will create new fields at the comma. So, some lines will have more fields than the others, causing issues like the error you saw.

  • Import Data Option Does not appear in navigation

    I need to test the import capabilities as a Developer, but I do not see the options that are referenced in the help.
    I installed NAV Dynamics 2013 R2 Developer Version on a development computer with "SQL Server 2014 - Developer" installed. I copied a demo company. The option "Import from Data File" does not appear under Departments/ Administration/
    IT Administration/ General. Many other options are also missing.
    I reviewed the security setting for the Domain User and enabled the db_owner and db_AccessAdmin for the user. It was installed with the same administrative user account and the user has SysAdmin rights.
    I assume that this is some sort of security/authentication issue, but I also saw references that certain things are disabled in the demo. I can perform most basic functions, but many administrative functions are not visible.
    How can I enable \the import capabilities?

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • Files do not appear in Finder

    When I launch Finder, files do not appear in any folder except "All My Files." If I look in any other folder, such as my user folder, Documents, Downloads, Applications, etc., nothing appears. It is as if those folders are completely empty -- but they are not, because I can open files from "All My Files" and see that they are located in the various folders that appear to be empty in Finder.
    For example: when I open "Applications" from my Dock, I see all the application icons. If I open "Applications" in Finder, I see . . . nothing at all.
    I have tried searching for answers in the forums and see nothing that helps. Thanks.
    Also, I can't even tell you what operating system I am using, because when I click on "About This Mac" it does nothing. I know it is a relatively recent application, since I purchased this MacBook Pro within the last 6 months.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.
