Power cut / itunes update leads to itunes memory loss :-(
I am running a mac mini only 6 months old with 2.5ghz intel I5 Core.
Where i live we suffer many power cuts. Everything was working fine with itunes, but now itunes is having real issues with locating many of my files.
I have around 260gb in music altogether, and after using itunes for many years, i have spent a lot of time making smart playlists to organise everything just the way i like it. All my favourite songs i have spent time giving them 5 star ratings so Itunes knows to put them in the "My Top Rated" smart folder.
I keep my music on an external 1Tb hard drive. Itunes knows where the folder is located via preference settings.
After a recent spurt of power cuts, followed by an unrelated external had drive failure (only movies), i went back to my mac and discovered that around 30% of my music was missing. This was indicated by small exclamation marks placed just to the left of the individual track names in itunes.
Off course, the first thing i did was panic, but my fears were soon put to rest, when i checked the master file on my extrenal hard drive where the itunes folder is located, the files were still there.
When i try to play the selected file, the message :- " the song "______" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
i have 2 main issues here:-
1. Itunes will only let you locate individual files at a time, if i have to locate 30% of 260gb, i will still be till next year.
2. when i follow the option to locate, find the file and click open, Itunes crashes after hanging some time.
I can dump all itunes indexing files and copy my master itunes file (all 260gb) onto another drive, then delete itunes application and reinstall, but i will loose all my playlists and 5 star ratings. I am also concerne about song degradation which can happen when copying files. I have many Flac converted files which are 320kbps.
I have read on the apple.com itunes windows forum that there is a script to locate missing files, is there a similair method for mac?
Is there another method for Itunes to reindex the complete folder where the music is located without loosing smart playlists and 5 star ratings?
Any help appreciated.If iTunes is busy saving the library file (which it does frequently) and there is power loss then the file can become corrupt. This can cause links to be broken, and if the library file is corrupt enough it will cause iTunes to freeze.
Your solution is to back up your library (especially the library.itl) frequently so you have good copy from which to start, and buy a power source backup. The other things about which you are asking are not real long-term solutions giving the conditions you describe.
There isn't any script for repairing links on Mac. You can check Dougscripts web site. There was one there but it wasn't highly successful from my reading of it. iTunes itself has a minor repair links feature built into it whereby if you find one link it will ask if you want to try to find others based on the same criteria. If that isn't working then that's as far as it goes.
I'm not too clear what you mean about song degradation in copying files. Yes, any file copying can theoretically cause error, but there are also error checking routines. Still, even just leaving files on a drive can cause errors as sectors suddenly go bad.
The main problem you have is computers are not designed to survive frequent abrupt shutdown. Macs aren't too bad and last night we had a sudden shutdown twice and my computer started up fine both times (hats off the Apple). You need to deal with that problem and your iTunes will not corrupt as frequently. I have been using my library since the early 2000s and never once had it go corrupt on me. -

Laptop stop working while updating bios
Lately when i turn on my laptop, the screen is black, caps lock and scroll blinking twice, i read that i should update my bios.
The problem is when its updating ( insydeFlash is running half way ) i noticed my laptop stop working.
The window is on, i can see everything on screen, even the sound of my laptop, but i can move the mouse, well >.>
I dont know what should i do? Should i turn off my laptop?, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. When it comes to a bios update the rule is if it isn't broke don't fix it. If it is locked and not responding then the only choice you have is to do a hard reset first. HP Notebook PCs - Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset Once you have done that here is a link for doing a bios recovery.

While updating the iPhone 5 software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in. Using Windows 7 and phone not recognised by computer, let alone by iTunes.
Any suggestions? Happy to take it off to the the Apple genius people but would prefer to get it running myself.

Hi,
Boought this laptop last night.
I downloaded the 2 latest Bios updates for this model
1.30 http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/scf6v130.exe
and
1.20 http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/scf6v120.exe
I tried updating both via Windows and I get a Error that the Bios isn't for my Notebook PC.
Anyone else having this issues?Satellite C55-A5105
Downloads here.
1. The latest BIOS contains all previous updates.
2. Is this the one you used?
ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.30 for Satellite C50/C55/C55t (PSCF6x/PSCFEx)
3. Did you follow the precise instructions?
•For CD-ROM BIOS updates in Windows 8 models: (1) Shut down the system while pressing the SHIFT key to completely power off. (2) Power on while pressing F2 to enter the BIOS Setup menu. (3) Go to the Security tab and set the "Secure Boot" setting to "Disabled". (4) Go to the Advanced tab, enter "System Configuration" and set the Boot Mode to "CSM Boot." (5) Press F10 to save and exit. (6) Boot from the BIOS CD-ROM. (7) Type FLASH at the C:\ prompt then press Enter. (7) After the BIOS update has completed, restore the Boot Mode setting to "UEFI Boot" and the Secure Boot setting to Enabled.
•Note: The BIOS Launcher "CD_ROM Installation" option may not automatically proceed to burn the CD-ROM in Windows 8. If this occurs navigate to the directory named after the BIOS filename in the root directory of the C-Drive (ex. C:\skgjv130), and manually burn the CD-ROM from the disc image (ISO) file.
4. We need an exact quote of any error message. A snapshot from a digital camera is best.

Can not access BIOS after update BIOS
Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19
Type: 4290-R32

Ask google and try anyway but not work
- Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
- Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
- Try to update BIOS againThat is really weird.
When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected
I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:what OS you are running?

Regds,
ARSThe relevant parameter to identify an individual will be p_assignment_id.
You will need a query to obtain the relevant assignment_id from the given CWK number on the person row
Edited to add : whilst you are about it, you'll need to obtain the assignment object_version_number as well - that will be needed for the p_object_version_number parameter
