Premier Constantly Losing Links to media

So, I recently find myself repeatedly relinking every single media file in my Premier Pro project. It usually takes less than a minute for Premier to lose at least one, then the others follow. Sometimes, I open the project and within a minute or two every media asset goes grey. To guard against this, I have to save after almost every action so I can "revert" the file when it loses the links. When I reopen the file, all the links are online, but not for long. I'm sure I don't need to explain what this does to my productivity. Naturally, I'm in the middle of a tight project and don't have a lot of time to stop work to figure this out, but I begin to wonder if I won't make out over the long haul by fixing the issue now if I can.
I'm using CS6 on a Windows machine with 32GB RAM and a very speedy processor. All of my video assets are stored locally on my machine, but on the same drive as the program files and OS. I have a separate internal drive set up for a cache and another to render to. I've been running Premier without a problem on this machine for well over a year and I can't think of anything I've done recently that would upset the gods. However, the system is part of a large company network and our IT department regularly applies updates to various security components. Any suggestions? I'd certainly appreciate it if someone recognizes the issue and can provide a solution. My thanks in advance for any insight.

Good luck...
I've been using Final Cut Pro (pre-X) since v1.0 and I only ever used about 29% of the capabilities. However, most of the lesser functions slapped onto Ye Olde FCP were lame, unfinished, niche-focused or broken.

I just updated my phone and it's told me to plug it into itunes and now itunes is telling me to restore my phone but, that would mean losing all my media, what do I do?

If your phone is showing the connect to the iTunes screen then you will need to reset it back to factory defaults. Prior to starting the update did you copy your purchases over to your computer's iTunes library and take a backup (either to iTunes or to the cloud) ? If you took a backup then you should be able to restore to that. If you didn't copy your purchases over then what you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps on your phone, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?
I have 1000s of broken links after installing the latest version of iTunes and updating some files in my media folder. The location of my itunes library has not changed, and all the files are there (I know because I've just waited several hours for the files to be updated by my ultra-slow computer) - by my logic, there should be some menu option that simply re-synchronises with the media folder, just like itunes would do with an ipod - it can't be that hard can it? The only way I can restore a link is by clicking every song (I have over 28,000) and locating the file in the folder that iTunes claims to use as its media folder - the new version 10 option of then using this location to restore all broken links doesn't work because it only looks in the specific album file, and after a couple of times this dialog box no longer even comes up, so I couldn't ask it to do this even if I wanted to. At the moment the only option I can see is to completely wipe iTunes and re-load all my music from scratch - using my tired and over-worked computer this will realistically take around 15 hours that I don't have, and my computer will melt in the process. I wish I'd never tried to 'tidy up' my iTunes library...
PLEASE Apple, how hard can it be to have a function that searches for and restores broken links by itself????? I've told you where the music is - just flipping look for it yourself instead of getting me to do it!

You don't have to re-rip, re-import or re-download all your content. You can clear the iTunes library, either by selecting all in the libary and pressing the Delete key, saying "no" when it asks if you want to remove the files themselves, and then use the Add To Library command, selecting the iTunes Media folder (or iTunes Music folder, as applicable to your situation), and that will add back all your content. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes; if it does, something may be amiss with your hard drive or the library file is corrupted (in which case just delete the library file and re-do the Add To Library command).

Ringtone link in media not working

When I go into Media then into ringtones and open up my menu I have an option for Download Ring Tone. When I click on the link I get this error.
HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
An unexpected condition was encountered which prevented your request from being fulfilled. This could be cause by a problem with teh gateway, a problem with destination server or a problem with the page itself. Please try loading a different page. Contact your service provider if this problem persists
I then have the option to select ok or go to details. If I go to details it brings me to a page saying
Error Accessing the html page
Error Details
- HTTP Error Code:500
-Error
Message:java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0 This error has been logged with the server,please try again later.
I have tested that link with 2 8330 and 1 8130. I have been able to get the page to display twice but with no actual reason for it to work. One time I hit refresh and it loaded correctly and another time I hit back accedentally and it loaded to the ringtone page(on the 8130). I bookmarked the page when it did showed properly when I hit the back button. The bookmark will load perfectly everytime. But going through that above link does not work and I have tried it no less then 30 times.
I sent the bookmark to another BB via pin and it was not able to load the page. When I go to copy the page source both from the error and the bookmark that loads this is the link I get.

All 3 phones are on Telus Mobility running 4.3. The curves both have default browser settings on them and can connect to other sites no problem, the pearl had default settings when I got it to work and book marked it and since then I have changed some of the internet settings. I enabled java and switched emulation to blackberry instead of openwave(wap). That did not make any difference to the link in media but bookmark loads fine still. Internet browser is the default for all devices.
Hope this is enough info. I want to know if any other Telus clients have the issue or if any other carriers are having the same problem as well.
Thanks for any help and suggestions

Mobilekid, did you figure out your solution?

Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

CC PP Crashes when I link to media

Hello
I have a windows machine with win 7. An editor has a project on a drive that is a copy of my drive. I want to open the project on my machine.
I open the project. It searches for media. The explorer appears with the list of files that are not found. I point some of the files to my drive and Premiere
finds most of them. I go offline with the files it can't find. As the project begins to open it crashes. I have tried 10 times.
It will allow me to "cancel" the link window. In that case the project opens with all the links offline. I can link individually but this would take me forever.
Any advice?

Thank you, Jim. I did find the batch link, but the problem is that it crashes when I try to open the the file after linking the media.

P2/MXF Footage in Premiere Pro CS6 constantly losing its linkage.

P2/MXF Footage in CS6 constantly losing its linkage. I'll relink the clips as the 'locate footage' box pops up, then a couple of minutes later, all the clips in the bin are showing the question mark and asking me to locate the clips again. It does this over and over. This happens on both my desktop machine and on my laptop.
Not having this problem with any of the file types at this point.

Just saw an official reply on another similar question asked at the same time as mine and that Adobe is aware of it and it's being worked on.
Thanks.

I have a new computer and I am trying to find a link to download photoshop elements premier 11 the link I was sent by the tech only shows what I need...what I need is an actual download button

This is actually the Photoshop forum. Premiere Elements forum is here
Premiere Elements
I assume you realise that 11 is not the current version, which is now up to 12
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
And if yes, that you had 11 installed on your last computer? Did that come on a disk or download? If disk, have you now lost that disk?
If yes, and you registered your software, log on to your Adobe account, and find My Orders (or similar). You may find the download link and your serial number there.

Premiere CC 2014 losing link to Preview files - what I've found

Upgraded to Premiere CC 2014 in an effort to resolve the dreaded "losing link to Preview files" problem.
After some testing, I've discovered that I need to actually close any and all timelines before saving/quitting in order to keep the link intact.
This workaround works for a variety of timeline types (ProRes and Avid 220), and irregardless of what type of external drive I am rendering to.
Has anyone else had this type of "losing links to Preview files" behavior?
FYI, I am on OSX 10.8.5...

The issue could just be this...

Re-Link all media

I'm using an EDL to create 470+ clips on a timeline. Nearly each of these clips refers to a different quicktime media source, and re-linking these one at a time is insanely time-consuming.
In many other packages (Scratch, for instance), there is a 'find media' option, where software will search a given path and automatically re-link every media source clip to its timeline/offline clip.
Is there a way to do this in CS3, or am I relegated to spending the next 5-6 hours in a repetitive loop manually re-linking one file at a time?
thanks,
John T.

Re-linking is easy, if you do it right.
When you open a project that already has media in it, and for whatever reason Premiere can't find that media, it will ask you where it is. If all the media is in one location, it'll find all the rest after you tell it where the first one is.
With an EDL, it sounds more like you're
linking the media (no "re"). In that case, I think you're stuck with one at a time.

Ipad is constantly losing wifi

my i pad is constantly losing wifi. the other desktops and laptops in house but it happens on my iphone as well but not as often. i have to keep renewing all the tihelp please.
thanks

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:

HT4972 how do you update it without losing apps, and media?

My brother has a 4th gen ipod touch and he easily updated to iOS 5 by using the software updates button on general settings. He had no problems with losing apps, or media. I also have a 4th gen ipod touch but for some reason in my settings i do not have a software update button. when i tried to get the iOS 5 on my Windows PC it came up with a message saying that downloading it to my ipod will delete all media, and apps. How can i safely download it, or get a software update button.
Thanks

For the wifi update option yu first have to update via USB to iOS 5.
To not lose you media and other stuff you need to do the update on your syncing computer and all the media has to be in your iTunes library. The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like aps and music.
See:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
What you can do is connect the iPod to a computer and:
- Treansfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

Is it possible to rename an external hard drive without losing links to my media?

Hello all. I am new to Apple and FCP, so I may be going about this all wrong. I have a new Mac Pro, OS X version 10.9.5, running FCPX version 10.1.3. I have copied all of my data from a 1T external hard drive to a new 4T external hard drive, but FCPX doesn't recognize my media files unless I rename the new drive to that of the old one. The problem is I want to continue using the old one. Is there an easy way to relink my files and keep the original name of the new drive?
Thanks.
