Problem Locating Files From HARDDRIVE

So here is my story:
I had a 500GB harddrive which I had my ITUNES music folder. All of my music was nice and sorted and organized and all that jazz, I even went on to rate songs and make playlists for all my 500GBs worth of music. But then my harddrive got filled up so I got a 1TB harddrive. I dont really remember how I did it, but I was able to transfer all my music into that harddrive and keep all my playlists and ratings and play counts still intact.
I kept my older harddrive still connected and made sure my new itunes music folder location was going to my new harddrive..
No problems, until recently i deleted the contents of my old harddrive.. Now, when I click on a song that was added before I got the new harddrive, it wont play and shows the little "!" and would I like to locate..
Now all the songs I have are in the new harddrive as I can easily find their location, however, finding 74,000+ songs individually is a huge pain...
someone please help, as I'm afraid that I may have done something wrong in error..

Depending on how you migrated the files, your 'old' Windows account should have been created on your MBP.
How did you migrate the files? Using Migration Assitant? Mac or PC version?

I am having a problem moving files from a iMac in location mac in another location. I have tried using Dropbox and the Public folder in the i disc. When I drag the files into dropbox they become alias' and I can't open them at the other end beca

I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location. I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias. When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present". This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers. If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there. Am I forgetting to turn something on or off? Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

Downloading files from harddrive to lightroom2

Please help.
I can not download jpeg files from harddrive to the library in Lightroom 2. Lightroom freezes.I try to download one file or multiple files folder with the same result. I do not have this problem when downloading files from card rider.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
LR showing 0 photos in the catalog.
This is my problem: I shot wedding with 3 cameras and downloaded files in to
one folder on internal drive (Jpegs) After that i synchronized file in that
folder by time shooting. My next step wold be to import the folder to
light room, but ligtroom freezes and i have massage No photos found..
If i import files from memory card to the lightroom-I have no problem.
I see only one solution- to move back files from internal drive to the
memory card and import them to LR from the card. But I afraid that the
quality of images would deteriorate with so many manipulations.

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac. PC to PC is fine. Nothing but problems with the Mac. One example:
While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac. I click on paste to move the files. I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action. It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started. Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again..
Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac. I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files. If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
So I have one file to move, no problem. If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once. All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace. Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file. That file will then show something other than 0kb. When it is done, the error process starts all over. I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

Problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to Yahoo

The error message I get is "No response from server.

I tried enabling passive FTP but it doesn't help.

Problem locating files after migration from PC to Mac

I have just migrated files from my PC to my Mac. I have logged into the new user account but I finder is telling me there are no files located in the new user.
It also doesnt appear that a "user" folder has been created for the new user which may be the problem.
Thanks

Problems transfering files from PC to Harddrive on Airport Extreme.. Help!

I upgraded to an Airport Extreme to help speed up my wireless and access a LACIE 1tb harddrive between two computers - a Windows XP 64bit machine and a new macbook.
Everything works great except I cannot copy large files from the PC to the harddrive even though I can stream movies off the harddrive to the same computer and transfer small files. When I try to copy a large file I get "The specified network name is no longer available" after about 30sec even though its actually connected (I can browse and watch a movie after I get the error). The large files do show up on the HDD after getting the error but they are not working files. So frustrating.
I have read that it could be the 7.4.2 firmware but have tried going back to 7.4.1 with the same results. I have also tried backing up the Airport and restoring to default settings. Also tried installing the airport software on the PC with no luck. I am considering trying to format the drive from FAT32 to the default apple one but really don't want to do this.
Anyone have any suggestions? This is got to be the most frustrating problem I have encountered since starting my mac transition...

So I plugged in another 250gb hdd that I have lying around, formatted with my macbook and successfully backed up over 130gb worth of files via time machine. Also, tried transferring some "large files" to the same drive via the PC with blazing speed and everything works great.
So it turns out that a harddrive with FAT32 doesnt work properly with a PC.
I will be formatting my other 1tb drive now and I suspect will have similar results but this issue is odd and frustrating to say the least.

Custom Script Code to create multi-Location files from Master File

Hi,
I currently have a custom script that loads a master file (which contains all Entities data). I would like to do the following;
1. Generate multiple files from the master files, one file per location for all locations.
2. Each location file should contain data only data relevant to that Location defined by Validation Entity definitions.
Does anyone have a sample code to do the above?
Essentially, we want to run this Master Custom Script every hour or so and generate all the Locations' files and have users load them ad-hoc.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Your requirement is quite sepcific so you will have to write the script for this yourself (or hire someone to do it for you). What I will say is that via vbscript and the FDM API all the components you require to do this are there and it can be scheduled with FDM's Task Manager.

Problem gathering files from PC.

Hi,
Since some time I´ve got a problem with gathering files from my PC to iTunes.
When I click "File" and then "Add file to library", iTunes disapeares and I have to start iTunes again.
But then the faillure happens again and again.
"Add folder to library" is working normal.
I completely removed iTunes from my PC, but that didn´t help.
When I had iTunes newly installed, even the "old" library was still there, I expected this to be empty by new install.
Does anyone know what the problem can be and how to restore iTunes to normal?
Kees, Turkey.

Hi Nobi,
I had a look at what you suggested, but my problem is not the iTunes library.
I have a seperate list of songs on my PC, the songs are downloaded from the net.
Untill 2 weeks ago, there was no problem to take 1 song from the list to put in the library by clicking; "File" >> "Add file to library".
Now I have to make a map first and copy this to the library. It takes more time and I just wonder why it doesn´t work with "Add file..." anymore.
Copying songs, videoclips or pictures to my iPod, from the library, is working well.
I hope you understand what I mean, my English is not all that good.
I couldn´t find the right answer in what you suggested.
Greetz,
Togan from Turkey.

Problem locating files which are using storage?

Afternoon, I'm trying to clear my Macbook air's storage. (I have emptied my recycled bin)
I can't find the files which my mac attributes these figures to. For example i've completely moved all my moves from my mac to my server, deleted all movies out of itunes and removed any MP4 files from Iphoto... I'm at a loss to how i've still go 9.36gb on my mac?
Same again with 'other' storage. I've deleted all large files apart for one coming to 20gb so I should have no more that 30gb, where is my mac finding 76.91gb?
In regards to my photo's, I can't seem to move them all onto my Icloud photo stream. I've paid for extra storage, I've set it up so that all new pictures go onto it but I can't seem to get my whole library on it. I've tried highlighting the images and dragging them across but this doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas on these problems would be very helpful.
Thanks James

Problem transferring files from PC to MP3 pla

I recently have had problems transferring music from my computer to my Zen Touch.
I am using firmware version .0.03 Zen Touch and version 2.02.05 of Creative MediaSource Organizer. I have been able to transfer files perfectly fine for years up until a few days ago. When attempting to transfer an album, I get the following two error messages:
"Error: unable to download file. This file format is invalid."
"Error: There is not enough disk space at the destination for this
transfer."
The first error baffles me. Every file is in mp3 format and plays fine on my computer. I have no explanation as to why I am getting this error except that my Zen Touch is dieing. :-(
I have figured out the reason for the second error but I have absolutely no clue why it happens. When transferring the mp3s, the album folder grows to a ridiculous size. A 90 MB folder got changed to 9.23 GB!!!! Half of the songs on the album became -2 GBs each while the other half remained normal and completely unchanged. The songs that were greatly increased in file size still played fine on my PC however there would be 000s of minutes of static following the song.
The music already on my mp3 player still plays fine. The only problems I have been having is with the transferring of new music to the player.
So, I'm hoping someone has experienced this issue and has been able to fix it.
Thanks.

Can anyone help me with this or should I just give up on my Zen Touch?

Why can't i drag files from harddrive to playlist?

I run Windows 7 64 bit
Itunes 12.1.1.4
I can't drag files from a harddrive folder to a playlist anymore.
Anybody have a fix for this?

it stopped working yesterday. My computer froze, then after a restart all my playlist's were gone.
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
Not sure why you're having trouble adding to the playlists then, but restoring your previous library may help.

Problem exporting file from motion 5

Hello,
I am trying to export a file from Motion 5 and whe I play the quicktime back, everything is jumbled and I can't read it. When I am working in Motion and scrubbing along through the file everything looks fine. Can someone please help me out?
Thanks,
David

For starters, what's the version number for Motion and What OS are you on? Are you up to date or using an older version? Next, what format are you exporting to (ProRes, H.265, etc.)? Finally does this happen with every project or just this particular one. Can you post a screen shot of what the problem looks like? There are a lot of possibilites to consider, the more info you can provide the better luck there will be in someone maybe helping you with a solution.

Problem uploading file from mobile device to tomcat server

Hi guys, here's how it goes.
I'm designing a site using JSP for wireless devices like PDAs, Smartphones etc, basically any mobile device that has browser capabilities. There's a page where the user is allowed to upload a file from the mobile device, which works perfectly fine when I access the site using a PC. But when I try to upload a file from a mobile device, ( I tried using a Nokia 6680 ) , there wasn't any error but the file just wasn't stored in my server.
Here's how the upload form looks like :
<FORM name="filesForm" action="ProcessFileUpload.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <font size="1" face="arial">File :</font><br>
<input type="file" name="file1" size="10" style="font-size: 9px;"/><br><br>
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload Files" style="font-size: 9px;"/>
    </FORM>Here's the gist of ProcessFileUpload.jsp:
<%
     System.out.println("");
        System.out.println("Content Type ="+request.getContentType());
        DiskFileUpload fu = new DiskFileUpload();
        // If file size exceeds, a FileUploadException will be thrown
        fu.setSizeMax(1000000);
        List fileItems = fu.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator itr = fileItems.iterator();
        while(itr.hasNext()) {
          FileItem fi = (FileItem)itr.next();
          //Check if not form field so as to only handle the file inputs
          //else condition handles the submit button input
          if(!fi.isFormField()) {
            System.out.println("NAME: "+fi.getName());
            System.out.println("SIZE: "+fi.getSize());
            System.out.println(fi.getOutputStream().toString());
           // File fNew= new File(application.getRealPath("/"), fi.getName());
         File tempFileRef = new File(fi.getName());
         File fNew = new File(filepath.toString(),tempFileRef.getName());
     String MM_Overall_DRIVER = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver";
     String MM_Overall_USERNAME = "****";
     String MM_Overall_PASSWORD = "*********";
     String MM_Overall_STRING = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
     Driver DriverRecordset1 = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_Overall_DRIVER).newInstance();
     Connection ConnRecordset1 = DriverManager.getConnection(MM_Overall_STRING,MM_Overall_USERNAME,MM_Overall_PASSWORD);
     PreparedStatement StatementRecordset1 = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement("use " + domain);
     ResultSet Recordset1 = StatementRecordset1.executeQuery();
     filepath.append("/").append(tempFileRef.getName());
     StringBuffer fp = new StringBuffer("insert into ");
     fp.append(domain).append(".filepaths (path) values ('").append(filepath).append("')");
     PreparedStatement ps = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement(fp.toString());
     ps.executeUpdate();
            System.out.println(fNew.getAbsolutePath());
            fi.write(fNew);
          else {
            System.out.println("Field ="+fi.getFieldName());
        }Basically I store the file uploaded in the tomcat server and the path of the file is saved in a table in MySQL.
When I upload a file using a PC, the tomcat console displays the content type file name yada yada yada. However, when I upload a file from the Nokia 6680, I get just the content type then things just stop there and nothing else happens. No file name no file size whatsoever. The path of the file is not inserted into MySQL and the file is not stored in the server.
Can anyone please enlighten me on this issue and hopefully gimme a solution to this problem? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Problems transfering files from iMac to iMac via External HD

I recently bought a new iMac. I have been trying to transfer all my files from my old G5 Intel iMac onto my new one with my external HD.
My first problem was that when trying to copy the files onto my new Mac I was prompted with a message saying that I didnt have the privileges to do this! After a quick look around various forums I tried to edit the folders by going to 'Get Info' then changing all the tabs to read & write in the sharing and permissions section.
After a few hours, still no joy!
So I just tried to edit the 'Sharing & Permissions' of the files on my old Mac, and then copy them again to my HD to see if that would work, but now I am prompted with a message saying
'The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in ".DS_Store" could not be read or written.
(error code -36)
Can anyone help?
Or suggest an easier way?
All I am trying to do is make all my files 'read & write' so I can put them onto my new Mac.
Thank you.

Both your computers are Macs, so choose +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+.
It does no harm to have the Mac OS 9 drivers on there, but if that drive will never be connected to a Mac with Mac OS 9, you can uncheck it.
If that drive was previously formatted for Windows, instead of using the Erase tab, you may want to go to the Partition tab. Reset the +Volume Scheme+ to *1 Partition*. Click on the Options button. Make sure the +Partition Map Scheme+ is NOT set to +Master Boot Record+. If one of your iMacs is a G5 (PowerPC) iMac, and you will not be using this external drive to boot your new Intel iMac, +Apple Partition Map+ would be the best choice. If you want may want to use this drive to boot your Intel iMac at some point, and your G5 iMac has Tiger (10.4) or later, you can use +GUID Partition Table+ instead.
