Problems accessing Music Files in Slideshow module in LR 2.6 and Windows 7 64 bit

     Just got new computer 64 bit Windows 7.  Installed LR 2.6 and am having problem with slideshow and music.  Never had this problem before with my XP computer.  When I open up slideshow module and go to Playback window and check soundtrack and try to choose a music folder, I have a new problem.  It opens up "Browse for Files & Folders" dialog box as usual, but it only lets me browse on my desktop or my User name on the C drive.  My music is in my F drive where my data is stored.  I've never had a problem accessing my music in my F drive in my XP computer, but this setup limits where I can browse to.  Interesetingly, this works OK in LR 3 beta on this WIndows 7 PC where it opens up a dialog box "Choose a music file to play" which gives me access to all my drives.  In summary, I can't access music files stored on a drive other than my C drive using LR 2.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
     I have attached a screen shot to compare the new Windows 7 Browse for Files & Folders dialog box to that in my XP computer.
     Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks for the reply.  I went through the process you suggested to change Ownership  & grant permission to access files.  When I get to the owner tab in Advanced Security Settings....I am already the current owner of this folder.
What do I do now?
Thanks,

  • Accessing music files on external hard drives with Home Sharing

    I use my iMac as a computer and music server.  I have it connected via USB and SPDIF to my audio system, and access my music files with the Remote app on my iPhone.  It works fine except when the Remote app occasionally wants to take a brief break.  The problem is that I have a LOT of high-res music files, and my IMac's hard drive is filling up and slowing the processor down.  Is there a way to access music files located on external hard drives (I have two) AND the files located on my iMac using Home Sharing and the Remote app on my iPhone.  I'd like to move some of the files off of the iMac's HD to free up space.  Thanks.

    The best thing to do is to get an external drive that is large enough
    and has sufficient room for growth and move your entire iTunes
    folder to it.
    Then start iTunes holding down the option key and when the dialog
    box comes up, select choose library and navigate to the new iTunes
    folder location.
    This way, nothing will be lost, confused, or otherwise messed up since
    the entire library will be intact.

    If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic.  With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

  • Problems Accessing Local Files

    Hi,
    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm havign problems accessing a file on the target machine's local filesystem. I've signed all my jars and added the all-permissions tag to the jnlp file. However, my code:
    ClassLoader cl = getClass().getClassLoader();
    InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("c:/resources/testsuite.xml");
    fails to find the file "testsuite.xml".
    Is this a classpath issue? I've tried to add c:/resources to the class path but with no luck.
    any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    Try "file://c:/resources/testsuite.xml" instead. I
    believe you are suppose to be passing in a valid URL
    and what you passed in wasn't.That's wrong. Resource name should be just a path. It could be a full path started from "/" or just a relative path from given class (here better to use this.class.getResourceAsStream() method).
    Better yet, since you are giving full security access
    to the user's local machine you don't really need to
    rely on the class loader at all. It's just a normal
    file, so you could create your File object and read it
    in the way you do normally. I would suggest to do not rely on File object at all because it can only be dealing with local file system and thats can't be changed in future.

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that isn't fully working. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

    Hi, All my music files have an exclamation mark on the left and when I tunes asks me to locate a window opens with I Tunes folders but I still cant see my music library . What can i do? Thanks

    The red exclamation mark indicates that itunes cannot find your files.
    Are the music files still on your harddrive. Look n Finder
    Username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
    If the files are there then keep the option key pressed and open iTunes. A dialog box will open asking you to choose your library. Select Choose and then navigate to the Music/iTunes Folder and click OK

  • Zen Touch 40 GB: problems transferring music files and playli

    Hi,
    Creative Zen Touch 40 GB, one year old<
    [color="#330000">PlaysForSure Firmware 2..0<
    Creative MediaSource Organizer 5.0.38<
    Creative?Sync Manager 5.0.9.0<
    Windows XP Service Pack 2<
    527?music (.wma) files on the player; 4205 MB of free space<
    I'm finding it increasingly difficult to?transfer music files and playlists to my Zen Touch player now that the amount of free space on it has fallen below 5 GB. More often than not, it's necessary to put the player into Recovery mode, perform a clean-up, and then reboot and rebuild the library before Sync Manager works properly. I often need to repeat this process several times before I can transfer anything. Increasingly, too, Windows fails to detect the presence of the player when I connect it to my computer. Rebooting both the player and the computer usually fixes this issue. Transferring files by dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer is obviously much quicker than using Sync Manager, but here again I keep running into problems. It's as if the player freezes and refuses to take on-board any more files. Also, I can't find a way to transfer playlists except with Sync Manager. Are these known problems? I recalling running into similar issues with the Zen Touch 20 GB a few years ago. And could the fact that I'm doggedly using an old (998) and underpowered computer be an issue? I'm thinking of replacing the computer anyway, but is it likely that these synchronization problems would diminish or disappear altogether if I were to upgrade to something speedier?Thanks for any insights,Pete

    I too have a simular problems! Managing music is the biggest problem with over 0 Gigs. Some artists songs sometimes change name titles, artists,?and etc. Win Explorer is most used by me now. Yes, I do lose sync from time to time! Especially when I open two windows on the portable zen. There are two tools that need. . Playlist management - it takes too long to do it on the player. I want to create "Gym Vibes" and had it on my old creative?Nomad player, but couldn't transfer. "Creative Sync Manager" doesn't do it!?Without all that sync stuff how can I create and edit creative's playlist on a PC?2. A method for detecting dupicates?This is my second creative portable and if I don't get the tools I won't buy another!

  • Problem converting music file into aiff: 'empty' aiff file

    I can't get on with my edit!! Problem: I try to convert a music file so I can use it in a sequence as background music. When I convert (export using quicktime conversion) the mp3 file into a aiff file (choosing bit depth 16 and 48000 khz) I can convert the file in an aiff file, but then, when I import this aif file and I want to listen to it, it doesn't contain any music, sound doesn't show up, as if it was empty (though shows 3 MB and right duration). What is going on here, what am I doing wrong??
    Please help!!

    It's not DRM protected, not coming from Itunes store... In fact it worked before but I don't know why it doesn't now, following all FCE instructions... MartinR you're right, it works when converting directly in itunes and then importing into FCE.
    Thanks guys!

  • Problems accessing parameters, files - problems in general.

    I've been posting my problems to comp.lang.java.programmer but Google Groups is exceedingly slow to update and I've been stuck on this for nearly two whole days:
    I am developing what will be a series of web utilities for our company and our client's company. Unfortunately I am hampered by the fact that my Java is not that good having come from a C++ background.
    My current setup is Windows XP, JDK 1.3.1.07 (which is what our client is running), Tomcat 4.1 for testing on my local box.
    I've been middling around with small examples and decided to do something slightly more complex. What I am trying to do is access a file that is described in web.xml as a parameter. However when ever I run the program it is unable to find the file. All the documentation I have (web-based plus a Professional Java Server Programming J2EE Edition - way over my head) either skims across it/takes it as read it will be set up correctly/doesn't touch it at all.
    I thought I was trying to access the wrong directory so I mapped the file to the root of C and still can't access it - it always comes back as null. Also between attempts I restart the Tomcat server so it always loads in the web.xml file.
    This is my web.xml:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-app
        PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
        "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
    <web-app>
      <display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>
      <description>
         Welcome to Tomcat
      </description>
      <servlet>
        <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>website.LogIn</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>passwordFile</param-name>
          <param-value>C:\\passwords.txt</param-value>
        </init-param>
      </servlet>
      <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/logged</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>And the Java:
    package website;
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    *  Handles the login to the administrators section of the website
    public class LogIn extends HttpServlet
        private String passwordFile;
        /** Read the password file from the location specified
         *  by the passwordFile initialization parameter.
        public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
            super.init(config);
            passwordFile = config.getInitParameter("passwordFile");
            System.out.println(passwordFile);
            if (passwordFile == null)
                System.out.println("The \"passwordFile\" property must be set to a file name");
            try
            catch (Exception e)
                System.out.println("Error: Unable to read passwordFile.");
        public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
    }It was suggested on comp.lang.java.programmer to check the path that the system was thinking I was searching which I did by inserting this code fragment:
         // initialise the servlet and load password(s)
    //     super.init(config);
    //     passwordFile = config.getInitParameter("passwordFile");
         // added code
         passwordFile = "passwords.txt";
         File f = new File( passwordFile );
         System.out.println( f.getAbsolutePath() );
         // added code.
            ...This lead me to learn that the directory being returned was:
    C:Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\passwordFile.txt
    Which is strange since I would of thought that the lowest directory
    that is visible to the class would of been ROOT (hence it's name).
    Does this mean if I copy the passwordFile.txt to the above directory
    it would work? Actually no. I still can't get the filename as a
    parameter from web.xml which is frustrating. If you could give me any
    pointers on what might be wrong then that would be cool.
    I thought I could move forward by accessing the file directly. But no: An addition of f.exists() to check that the file exists returns false. I've now got a copy of passwords.txt in every single directory from the classes directory all the way down to C:\ and it still doesn't work.
    I hope someone can help out here since this is very frustrating to be stuck on something so basic as file handling.
    Graham Reeds,

    I can see how this is frustrating but it should be fixable. The last example you posted won't work because you have "passwords.txt" instead of "c:/passwords.txt".
    If you're still looking for a solution could you cut and paste the following code into your servlet code and then post the results?
    // Check that init param is read correctly
    String filename = config.getInitParameter("passwordfile");
    System.out.println("config param = " + filename);
    // try filenames
    String[] filenames = new String[] {"c:/passwords.txt", "c:\\passwords.txt", "passwords.txt"};
    for (int i=0; i < filenames.length; ++i) {           
       File file = new File(filenames);
    System.out.println("File " + filenames[i] + " - exists = " + file.exists());
    System.out.println("Abs path = " + file.getAbsolutePath());
    This is based on the file c:\passwords.txt existing - if I have the wrong filename, please adjust. Also, you may need to change <i> to [[i]i] in a couple of places.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

  • 6125 - problem with music file names

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a Nokia 6125 last week and have a slight problem with the music player if anyone can help please:
    The music files that I have transferred to my phone have the correct song and artist name on the memory card in the Gallery, but when I open up Music Player it just displays them as squares. Any ideas on how to solve this please?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    the problem might occur, because of language versions are different(source and your phone). Or the filename coding is not supported in the phone.
