"Reconnect All" actually only reconnects ONE file at a time?

Hi,
I recently moved all my referenced masters from a USB drive which was rapidly filling up, onto a NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS Duo 2TB).
The Masters are all in exactly the same file structure (...Aperture --> Aperture Photos --> year --> month) as they were on the USB, but now have a different drive name (it's now on a network share called Media, rather than a USB drive which was called something different).
I seem to recall the feature 'Reconnect All' did just that - ie you would:
1. Select all photos in the Library (including connected and disconnected 'orphan' ones)
2. find a single photo which has been disconnected / master reference lost
3. find it's 'true' master and point to it in the bottom frame of the 'Locate Referenced Files' dialogue box
4. Click "reconnect all" and easy as you like, Aperture would use the relative position of this file to the old one, and reconnect all the disconnected files in the library.
Now, it seems only to reconnect the single file I've pointed at.
So question is, is this something I'm misremembering (ie it never worked this way?), something they've deliberately changed in Ap3.1, or something I'm doing wrong?
does it matter that this new media share is an AFP or CIFS network drive rather than a direct connected USB drive?
Any help gratefully received as I have 50 thousand images which are orphans at the moment, and I can't think how else to get them reconnect to their correct place in the library.
Thanks in advance
Craig

have tried your suggestion Kirby but doesn't seem to make any difference I'm afraid.
I have noticed a further issue which may be useful...
In the reconnect referenced files dialog, the old location of the files is listed as being on a drive called <null>.
the majority of the disconnected files (actually, they're listed as 'offline' files with the red cross in the bottom right of the preview) are referenced as being in this former drive location - it used to be a RAID set which I have since had to get rid of because one of the USB drives within it failed.
I managed to recover my files from a backup, put them on my new NAS (by drag and drop to answer a question above) and assumed i'd be able to reconnect them at a later date. I've been working without them being properly referenced for a number of weeks, and it's only now that I've started trying to work with them again, that I've discovered this issue that reconnect won't work.
One last thing I've tried which may be useful info...
As a separate check, I created some 'test orphans', by changing the directory name for a small number of files on the new network drive. If I go through the same Reconnect All procedure for these test orphans, then the Reconnect All works perfectly.
So it seems the root cause may be something to do with this 'Null' drive name, but I'm no closer to finding a solution or even a usable workaround.
Haven't properly played with network drive settings yet... thanks all for the thoughts on that topic, I will have a further play tonight and let you know if anything else comes up.

Reconnect Media - Will only do one file at a time. (all files is checked)

I found one Google search that said this may be a bug... http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1047891 and it's really bothering me since I have about 500 more media files to connect.
When I select multiple files in my Project File Browser, right click, hit Reconnect Media... It opens the Reconnect Files window. Then I hit "Locate", navigate to the folder holding the files (Reconnect All files in Relative Path is checked), select the file, confirm, then hit connect... Only one file (the first one selected) reconnects.
It's worse than that for me, now the file is Connected in my Project File browser, but it still doesn't reconnect in my sequences. So now I have to go in the sequence and right click on the individual clips, and manually reconnect those as well.
At this point it take 6 plus clicks per file missing, times two because I have to reconnect these clips in the sequences as well... times 500 because that's how many offline files I have.
My lord, I've already done this to half of the project, I can't do it any more... where am I going wrong or is this a bug? If so, please tell me there is a workaround.
The file I'm working in is a feature film, so it's huge... I can't start over at this point.
Thanks for your time!

The only multiple files it will reconnect are the ones that are already connected.
I hope I figured it out but need more advice. It may be that the files that won't connect do not have a visible file extension ".mov". How can I get these files to shoe ".mov" at the end of their names without manually renaming them all?
And the reason this is happening is I was using reference files to edit a movie, now I've been given new hard drives with the final uncompressed footage but same file names for each clip... plus the new hard drives I'm using have different names.
Thanks for your time!

IMovie 11 only imports one file at a time

Recently, aside from the legendary stability issues (decent today, thank you very much) - I am working on a lenghty project with dozens of clips, but in the Import Movies dialog, no matter how many files I select, I only get ONE file. I have to go back and fetch them one at a time. Yes, they are .MOV file, even better, they were EXPORTED with iMovie... so I am reasonably sure it's NOT format issues.
So with a complex composition, imagine how tedious it is to bring in clips one at a time...

Quicktime only play one file at a time

I would like to use QuickTime player to play mp3s. when I play a file and then open another it opens another instance of Quicktime and both files play at the same time.
Is there a terminal command to only have one instance of quicktime at a time?

Is there a terminal command to only have one instance of quicktime at a time?
Not a big Terminal user, but as far as I know, the answer would be "No!" Nor does the QT Player (QT X) have any preferences that would help here.
I would like to use QuickTime player to play mp3s. when I play a file and then open another it opens another instance of Quicktime and both files play at the same time.
With the QT Player (QT X) the specified media player, you have three basic options:
Create a reference playlist or pseudo-playlist,
Create a standalone "album" file, or
Create a an Automator script that will play any group of folders and/or individual files dropped to it.
For instance, if you have QT 7 install on your system and is is keyed for "Pro" use, then you can use it to create a "reference" (pseudo-playlist) or "standalone" (album" file that will play the content you add in the order you add it to the player. The "reference" file is very small since it only tells the QT Player to play the source files located else where on your system but is not, generally speaking, "transportable" since files are easily "orphaned" by inexperienced users. On the other hand, the "standalone" contains all of the original data stored internally and can be move or shared across systems and media devices having compatible media players. Both types of files are fixed with respect to both the content and its playback order.
An automator "drop" script works like the playlist or pseudo-playlist file described above but has the advantage of allowing the user to grab and combination of files and/or folders and play them sequentially in the order (I believe) in the order they are selected. Its major disadvantage is that the user must select, drag, and drop the set of files and/or folders each time he or she wishes to play the content whereas playlists, "pseudo-playlists," and "albums" play the same files in the same order each time they are opened.
Most users prefer an alternative solution—that of using an alternative player. Most use iTunes since it also "manages" the media content. Music albums are, in and of themselves, playlists. However, users can also create smart or manual custom playlists as desired. These playlists are "reference" playlists by nature but can be exported, burned, streamed, or sync'd to mobile devices if desired by the user and thus, to my mind, offers the most available options to the average user.
Another alternative would be to use a third-party media player having "playlist" capabilities. One popular example would be the VLC media player. Folders, files, albums, etc. can be dropped to the app player window and automatically begin playing in the order dropped. Further, the playlist can be saved as an M3U playlist file that can be recalled by VLC (or iTunes) later if desired. Unfortunately these M3U files are not QT X or QT 7 compatible. (NOTE: The M3U file, like the QT 7 "reference" file mentioned above, merely contains pointers to data stored elsewhere on your system and any change to the relative navigation path can orphan the resource data.)

Only Able To Add One File At A Time From Mapped SharePoint (2013) Drive to Outlook (2010) E-mail

I am using SharePoint 2013. I have mapped several network drives. When adding files off SharePoint to an Outlook email, I can only add one file at a time. I can add multiple files IF they are not on SharePoint (e.g., stored locally, or on Dropbox); Previously,
when using SharePoint 2010, I was able to upload multiple files.
ANy advice?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are two methods to add multiple files from SharePoint library to outlook emails:
Sync SharePoint library to outlook via “Connect to Outlook”, then you will find SharePoint Lists in outlook. Locate the library folder, you could select multiple items and drag them to an email.
Open SharePoint library via “Open with Explorer”, then you could selected multiple files and drag them to an email.

Processing one file at a time in Biztalk

We are changing the way we're processing files in that where we used to receive hundreds of small files throughout the day, we are now going to have these files batched into larger files that get dropped to our incoming Biztalk directory. I'm concerned about
having the server pick up multiple large files at one time. Is there a way to tell a Biztalk application to only process one file at a time, and not to pick up the next file until the previous one has finished? Note, I do not have a way to build this into
the Orchestration, as this is a Biztalk application that is actually installed by our Trizetto(QNXT) product. It uses Biztalk for XML serialization.
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the size of the messages unless they are approaching 1GB. BizTalk can process roughly 400 msgs/sec. Also if you're worried about processing multiple large files try load balancing. With BizTalk it is quite "easy" to load
balance. In a nut shell you have to have the dll of the application installed on all the servers you want to be apart of load balancing and BizTalk takes care of the rest. Your large files would more than likely split up and processed on different servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa578057(v=bts.80).aspx
The link above is for high availability but could also be used to get a better understanding of load balancing. Also if you use de-batching to split up the 3000-4000 records that would help with processing them. If an orchestration receives a file with 4000
records in them that instance alone processes the whole file. Whereas if you split up the messages each message gets it's own instance of the orchestration which leads to better performance. The only drawback is that it takes more resources so your environment
needs to be fairly large. Also if one server is busy another server with the same dll can take the de-batched messages and process them.
Here is a link to my blog post about de-batching. It is very basic but gives a good base for de-batching.

PSE-7 won't allow opening of more than one file at a time.

I can only open one file at a time in PSE-7. I just downloaded the trial upgrade from PSE-6. If I try to open more than one file, PSE crashes and windows wants to send a report to Microsoft. Elements works fine with only one file. Anyone got any idea's ?

Try to exit out of Elements 7 and go back in to your Organizer. Open a file and choose to edit it in full edit. Then leave it there and go back to Organizer and choose another picture to go through the same process. Now you should have both pictures showing in your bin at the bottom of the edit screen which you can toggle back and forth to as you edit each. If you want them both in the edit window itself you can you to the Window tab - Image - and choose to tile them or cascade them. Good luck, hope this works.

ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

iTunes tells me my song selection: "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want?

I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
Hope this helps!

Reconnectin Media only works for one file at a time...

Hi,
After having many times relinked hundreds of off-line media files in one go, FCP now doesn't want to reconnect more than one file at a time. Although all other files are in the relative path, it seems as if I have to relink 1200 files one by one...
I've found another thread in here, unfortunately closed, but wonder if that bug hasn't been fixed yet. Does anybody know a solution for this?
Best regards and thanks for your support,
Thomas

AND... don't forget that "relative path ALSO refers to the perhaps many bins you have inside FCP. So it's possible to connect everything in a particular bin, as long as all those files are in the same folder on your drives, whether it be capture scratch, or another folder of imported material. some people I know like to put EVERYTHING in the capture scratch folder for that reason. I personally don't, but I've got a system that works for me.
EDIT: I had a mentor once, many years ago, who suggested strongly that you ought to leave the cutting room every day set in such a way as ANYONE could walk in the next day and pick up right where you left off, just in case you got run over by a car. And dang it, that's just what happened to me. Ralph, you doomed me!
Now, while he was talking film, the same rules apply. Best not to have files floating all over the place, where you've got to go searching for them.
Whether there is a bug with a specific version, I have no idea.

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

PI 7.11 how to pick up only one file at a time in file adapter

Hi
Is there a smart way of only picking up one file at a time (for every poll) in a sender file adapter?
E.g. There are 100 files in the source folder but I only want to pick up 1 of the files every time I poll the source folder in my sender file adapter.
BR

Error message when I try to convert pdf to excel, after three attempts I could only convert one file.

Error message when I try to convert pdf to excel, after three attempts I could only convert one file.

Hi pdf to excel,
What is the error that you're receiving when you try to convert? Is it the "Conversion Failure" message? Can you tell me more about the files you're unable to convert? What application created the PDFs? Are there many pages in these these files, or a complex mix of text and graphics?
It'll also be helpful to know whether you're converting via the ExportPDF website (and what browser you're using), or through Adobe Reader.
I look forward to hearing back from you, so we can get to the bottom of this!
Best,
Sara

How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages) with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.
