Recapture problem - Duplicate Item Filename

I forgot to choose Stereo Pair when capturing my clips in a project. FCP wont send audio clips to "Soundtrack Pro audio file project" if the clip is not captured as a Stereo Pair. If you try making an audio clip Stereo Pair in your sequence, it still wont work. Soundtrack Pro requires that your clip is captured as a Stereo Pair. I want to recapture my clips, but that is for some reason easier said than done.
I ctrl-clicked the clips in my browser, chose Make Offline, and then chose Move to trash. When I choose "Batch Capture" on my offline clips now, I get a window that says "Duplicate Item Filename". It says "A file in use by Final Cut has been found to use the specified filename. Enter a different filename and click Continue or choose one of the options listed below." The options that it lists are greyed out.
I found this problem as an archived thread here in the FCP forums, but the information there did not really help.
Should I just have removed the clips inside the Capture Scratch folder, instead of using the Make Offline feature?
I have emptied the trash, tried rebooting my Mac, repairing permissions, trashing my preferences. Nothing has helped. I am now trying to erase the free space on my media drive (which is as good as empty now).
Where is this filename information stored? Why does my FCP project think the offline clips still are on my media drive?
Please help

Thanks Andy.
I have done some more testing now. I made a backup of my project file, before I tried the "Make Offline" feature, and I also have backups of the project file inside my autosave vault.
When opening my project backup file, I get the usual message about offline clips and reconnecting. Batch Capture works great when clips are "missing". I get no message about duplicating item filename or anything like that.
The problem now, is that if I want to modify the clip settings of the missing/offline clips (and make them Stereo Pair), I can't because the clips are not offline but missing. If I check the source column in the browser, I can see it still thinks the clips are supposed to be on my media drive. To be able to modify clip settings, I have to make the clip offline. Once I do that, modifyinig the clip settings works, but when I try to batch capture a clip, I get the message about duplicating the item filename again.
Man... this bugs me.
UPDATE:
Wow.... I think I found the problem. Batch Capturing after making the clips offline works fine. This "duplicate item filename" message only appears AFTER I have modified the clip settings, making it Stereo Pair instead of dual mono. How annoying! This was my main goal. Recapturing the clips with Stereo Pair audio

  • Duplicate Item Filename problem

    Hello,
    I have a number of offline items I am eager to digitize. When I select any of them or all of them and select Batch Capture then press OK in the Batch Capture window I get a window that states "Duplicate Item Filename". It says "A file in use by Final Cut has been found to use the specified filename. Enter a different filename and click Continue or choose one of the options listed below." The options that it lists is greyed out. These filenames it thinks it is using are not on my system. I have searched and searched and found nothing. But if I can't batch capture I can't use FCP. Too many clips already logged. Has anyone experienced this same problem and if so what did you do about it?

    Yes, it's happened to everyone who has tried to recapture. Are you using Media Manager? If not, try that.
    The upshot is that you need to convince FCP the clips are no longer available regardless of their corporeal existence. That may mean restarting the machine, repairing permissions or deleting your prefs or, at least changing enough of your prefs so that the file is altered significantly.
    Wait, you're saying these files are not associated with your project?

  • Duplicate item filename error

    here's the story:
    i had a 1tb drive (drive 1) and a 1tb back-up drive (drive 2). drive 1 crashed and i returned it and got a new drive (drive 3). i copied over the media from drive 2 to drive 3. it finished. then when i restarted, drive 2 was dead too. i can't find my disk warrior so rescuing that drive will have to wait. so now i have drive 3 and i mount it and start fcp 5. looks like most of my copied media has gotten trashed in the move. all looks green and when i go to the finder to try to play the clips, they are corrupt. so i delete all the media and start digitizing everything. (feature length show here and 45 hour long tapes...no fun). i get about 12 tapes in and then move the system from my home to work. restart and go to start digitizing on tape 12 where i left off at home and i get the "additional items found" dialogue box pop up. i respond "add". then i get an error : "duplicate item filename". i have the choice to rename,skip or abort.i trash the preference settings. i reset the scratch disk. there are no media clips on the system with dupe names. what can i do? please do not suggest that i add a 1 to everything. i am batch capturing 30+ more tapes and each tape has 40 clips. i am not going to type 1 after each clip and do them one by one. help please. is this a meta data error on the capture drive...i wouldn't think so as i reset the capture disk to the internal to try to eliminate that as a possibility.

  • Duplicate Item Number Lines Sync

    Hey guys,
    We were having problems with custom information not coming into Netpoint properly and we were able to trace it to some logic that the programmer wrote which prevents custom information from being populated when the number of the lines in Netpoint is not equal to the number of lines in SAP.
    When we reviewed the lines in Netpoint, one line was missing and it happened to be the only line with the same item number as another line in that order. 
    By adding more duplicate item codes in the order in Business One, we were able to establish that if the same item code is entered in two separate lines in SAP, the duplicate item code lines will not be synced!
    What is the logic that determines which lines will be synced and is this an expected result?
    Thanks,

  • Item "filename" is used by mac os x and cannot be opened

    Several files within a folder on my son's iMac have become unopenable. The error message is...
    Item "filename" is used by mac os x and cannot be opened
    Here are some details...
    1) The suspect files represent approximately half a folder's worth of files.
    2) If I list files alphabetically within the folder, the suspect files occupy a contiguous block within the directory (halfway through the m's to the z's).
    3) The files all report zero KB size and a Date Modified as 1 January 1970, 01:37.
    I have tried the following, but to no avail...
    1) Attempt to fix permissions.
    2) Attempt to accessing the suscpect files my placing the computer into Target Disk mode and attempt to access from another mac.
    3) Play about with the application Onyx (I read somewhere this may help)
    4) Attempt to duplicate the files.
    5) Attempt remote access from a networked computer.
    6) Attempt access as admin and root user.
    The computer is an iMac G3 DV 400MHz running 10.4.10.
    I would be grateful for any advice on how to access these files.
    Many thanks,
    Paul
    (I posted this in the Finder forum but didn't get a response, so I posted here - hope that's alright)

    You might be able to open those files in, say, TextEdit or Terminal, but what is the point? If they are of zero size they aren't going to be bristling with information!   
    I suggest it would be more fruitful to try to identify what is putting those files there. Which folder is involved? Just that folder, or others as well?
    Just a wild guess, to be ignored if not appropriate, but has anything from Adobe been installed recently? Is the folder by any chance ~/Library/Preferences? Are all the file names human readable, in which case does your son recognise the names as connected with anything he created or has been working on, or are the names gobbledegook? Please copy and paste here a couple of samples of the file names. What does Finder 'Get Info' show as the extension? and the "Open with:"?

  • Duplicate Item Codes

    Every item has 12 digits code.
    Reason of duplicate item code opening:
    1. Different description formats for same part
    2. Different unit of measurement
    3. Different export place(e.g. China and India)
    4. Different old code
    5. Same use of part in different system leads to different catalog
    so different code
    Due to these reason the person who create code for items can’t
    differentiate between the new item and existing item code. This
    leads to opening of new item code for an existing code and hence
    duplicate code.

    Hello,
    I think application do not help you with this. This is business problem not application problem. In my company a few person can create items and a few person can request new items. This process should be centralized and you have make some procedure in your organization. You can make some rules to valid new item before creating it.

  • Sales order duplicate item

    Hi,
    Can someone help and explain me why there's a duplicate item in my sales order.
    In the sales order document a variant component doubled from ITem 10, item 20 then ITEM 21 then item 30..... Irregularities of item number. The config was defaulted by 10's.
    EX.
    Item Material QTY Unit ItCategory
    10 Variant 1 pc YTM1
    20 componet A 200 in3 YTM2
    21 componet A 200 in3 YTM2<<<<----
    (duplicate of ITEM 21)
    30 Variant 1 in3 YTM2
    40 ................................................................
    50 ................................................................
    The config for numbering is by 10. What are the possible reasons why item 21 appeared?
    Please help
    Thanks,

    Hi Chrisell
    This problem you were facing because in VOV8 you have Item increment and Sub-item increment . Because of this you were getting the duplicating item in the sales order.Apart from that you might have maintained the BOM . because of that duplication item in the sales order is taking place .
    Kindly check the STPO & STPU tables wheather they are getting updated or not
    STPO --- BOM item data
    STPU ---   BOM sub-item data
    STAS --- BOM item selection
    Regards

  • JSF - Duplicate items in menuBar

    This is the original post:
    Re: JSF - Duplicate items in menuBar
    I was wondering if anyone ever figured out why the menu item beans being loaded onto the menuBar twice?
    I have the same problem. And I also have another problem where the submenu items disappearing when I navigate to certain pages, which I could not figure out why?, even though I have the menu2 facet in every page.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    did you have a look at SRDemo, which also uses managed beans to build the menu bar ? I think that using the code provided in this sample is a good way to start
    If this doesn't help then you will need to provide more information about your implementation so people can point you to the area that causes the issue

  • ITunes won't let me select show duplicate items on my iPhone 4s.

    I can see the option but it is in faded font color and I cannot select it. Pressing shift, or alt, or control does nothing to remedy the problem.
    I'm using an iPhone 4S, under the most current iOS (7.1)
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Confused? I don't think so...I am now, about whether or not I'm confused.
    I wish to remove duplicate songs from the music selection on my iPhone. While in iTunes, I select the iPhone and go to "On This Phone". From there I go to "View>Show Duplicate Items". But the option is hollow-texted, as in:
    Show Statusbar
    Show Sidebar
    Show Duplicate Items
    Video Playback
    Show Visualizer
    When I click on Show Visualizer, nothing happens. I need help to remedy this situation. I posted the topic in the iPhone section, as I don't care about duplicate songs in my iTunes, just the phone itself.
    Where am I going wrong here?

  • Duplicate items in dropdown notifications!

    I have the 4th gen iPod touch and when I do the swipe down notification, I get duplicate items in my calendar.  This isn't the case in iCal or even in Calendars on the Touch but only in the swipe down portion.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    I have observed the same with some notifications on my iPad.  It seems to only occur with events originating on my wife's Macbook to which I subscribe on my iMac.  Likewise we do not see duplicates on the iPad Calendar or the BusyCal calendars on our Macs.  It is also not duplicated in the on-line iCloud web version of my calendar either. I experimented with creating events on both her main calendar (which showed duplicates) and her others (which did not) and the newly entered events did not duplicate.
    I just created a fresh entry on my wife's computer of an event that was duplicated. This new entry propagated as one entry.  I then deleted the older entry (on Mac) that was also duplicated under notifications.  This eliminated ONE of the duplicate notification entries on the iPad. I then went to List View (in BusyCal) where there were neither of the earlier duplicate events. This was a semi-occuring event and I did note the related event modification dates. I now strongly suspect that the problem occurred with the conversion from synching over our home LAN to synching over iCloud.  This event reminder duplication is a minor inconvenience that will eventually go away, but I think that a solution that might work would be to temporarily uncheck by iCloud Calendar synching on the Mac(s), then back-up all the BusyCal calendars, delete all my calendar data from BusyCal, then re-enable iCloud Calendar synching. Toggling iCloud synching on the iPad doesn't fix the problem, so the source is likely on the Mac end.

  • Exchange 2007 - restored (merged) Mailboxes - Problem with items in Outlook

    Hey guys,
    last week we had to restore and merge our Exchange Mailbox Database. We had a running Database with data until Oct 14 and merged a recent backup into the User Mailboxes.
    Some mailboxes didn´t have problems, others have from then on doublicated Mails, Calendar Items, Tasks, ... even deleted/renamed folders appear now again WITH email content.
    I don´t understand what happend there and if I can do something.
    Hope someone could help me!
    Regards

    Hi,
    According your post, I understand that some mailbox contain duplicate items after restore and merge mailbox.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Are you run Restore-Mailbox with AllowDuplicates parameter? Please double check in OWA.
    Besides, please run below command to check the structure of mailbox folder:
    MailboxFolderStatistics “identity” | Select Name,FolderSize,FolderAndSubfolderSize
    If the issue only occur on Outlook client side, please run Outlook with online mode or reconfigure a new profile for testing.

  • ICloud/Outlook 2007 - Contacts & Calendar duplicate items.

    I just recently updated my 3GS to the new OS and installed iCloud and I'm having a couple of issues.
    1.  My contact and calendar items have been duplicated.  One set are listed under "My Calendars" and "My Contacts" and the other listed under "iCloud".  The iCloud items sync wirelessly to my phone but the others need the phone to be connect by cable to sync.  Aside from showing duplicate items on my phone, updating one set does not update the other.
         Is there a way of having one set that sync wirelessly?
    2.  Calendar appointments listed under "iCloud" do not show up on my "To-Do Bar" applet in the mail screen or Outlook Today home screen.
         How can I add these appointments to be visible on these screens?

    By any chance are you running any Eset security software products (like Nod32) on that PC?
    If so, there's a couple of alternatives.
    Either try the procedure in Samoreen's post:
    Re: iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
    Or, see if you can get hold of the Eset beta addressing the problem. As Samoreen notes in another post:
    ESET have a workaround for this issue. They gave me access to a test version of the HIPS module and this fixed the problem. So I could re-enable the ESET_OPTIONS environment variable (although I still consider that it's a questionable idea). I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5.5 and there was no problem.
    So maybe you should get in touch with ESET support and request the new module ? Just send a message to Marcos in the ESET forum.
