Relocating library and corrupt removed files
I´m trying to move my current aperture library to an external hard drive but there seems to be two files that are corrupt (one jpg and one raw) and aperture quits the process after giving an error message (36).
I´ve deleted the files and rebuilt the library but it still gives me the same error message.
I´ve relocated the project to another drive without any problems and then deleted the project from the library I´m trying to move and it still doesn´t help. When I tried to search for the files in Aperture after deleting them the program just closed itself.
Any ideas what to do?
I´ve got the same problem. One part of my images where on an external drive the other on an internal.
I´ve connected my new mac with the external and just copied the images from the old internal drive to the new internal drive. Alle images from the internal couldn´t be find, because they are locate at old/pictures/nameofpic.
How can I say Aperture that all images are on the internal and they only wanted to be found automatically?

My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.
The library file appears to have been corrupted. You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media? No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”. Is this how an apple works? It doesn't? Why all of a sudden is it doing this? Please help. Thank you.
DavidDid you happen to bring this iTunes library over from a windows machine? You might read this kb article to see if it helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

when i delete a song from my library, i am not given the option to delete it also from my pc file as the help section shows.
after clicking delete and remove only the library reference is removed. song in file remains.Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

X6 Music library got corrupted. File manager plays...
Hi,
I have X6 with version 21.0.004 installed.
I have downloaded ~300 songs from ovi music. Everything has worked fine until yesterday.
I was listening one album and tried changing to another, phone was kind to inform "File is corrupted operation cancelled" Then I was only able to play that one last listened album. Today I could not even listen that one anymore. First every album I tried opening gave an error, now Music player crashes when trying to open anything.
I tried playing files from file manager and it played just fine.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Google had solved this issue for Nokia 5800 and it seemed to work with X6 too.
Search for: "Nokia 5800 refreshing corrupted music library"
Music player library database files are the ones corrupted. Those exist in mass storage (E: ) private directory.
You can get access to private by connecting your phone with PC in "mass storage mode" and enabling "show hidden files and folders" from windows.
Remove files from these directories (do not remove directories)
Private\101f8857\Cache\E
Private\101ffca9
And finally, remove:
mpxv2_2.db and mpxv2_2.db-journal(Mp3 library db)
pcv6_1.db and pcv6_1.db-journal (podcast library db)
from Private\10281e17
If you think the above is too difficult, another way of solving this issue would have been backing up/formatting mass storage (E: )
Edit: I hope you guys in Nokia have a bug reported about this issue... -
HT1449 Is there a way to "Organize Library" and *move* the files, rather than *copy* them?
I was trying to move my iTunes Library from the old iTunes Music folder to a new-style iTunes Media folder.
The Organize Library command wants to copy my 219 GB library. Is there any way to do the same thing but move the files instead? There's no way I'm going to be able to free enough space to make a copy of my whole library, and I would really rather not move the whole thing to an external drive, just to move it all back to the proper folder on my internal drive.Let's recap.
Your iTunes media library is in an old school layout, library in the usual location of <User>/Music/iTunes containing a media folder called iTunes Music. You have updated the iTunes preference for the media folder to <User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media but, as expected, most if not all your media is still on the old path. And you want to rearrange your library to the current layout.
Correct? If so then the following steps will sort out your library:
Change the media folder preference back to <User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. Close & then reopen iTunes.
Use File (iTunes?) > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "iTunes Music" to get iTunes using the new internal structure for the media folder. Ignore if this option is grayed out, you've already done it.
(Sorry, I'm a PC user so a bit hazy on precise layout of Mac menus)
Use File (iTunes?) > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files to pull in copies of any files that made it into the iTunes Media folder or are scattered elsewhere.
Delete the now redundant folder iTunes Media.
Close iTunes, rename iTunes Music as iTunes Media, start iTunes, check under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced that the media folder preference has automatically updated to .../iTunes Media, correct if required.
(Optional). Close iTunes, rename the library file iTunes Library as iTunes Library.itl then click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down option. When prompted to choose or create a library click choose and browse to the renamed file.
I could have suggested using Doug's script Re-locate Selected but the process above is much more efficient. You could use this however at step 3 to avoid the temporary duplication of the files from iTunes Media or housekeeping for any other files stored ourside of the iTunes Music folder.

Reloading iphoto library and streamlining iphoto file system.
I had a hard-disk failure recently, and lost a lot of photos: basically all the full size files. Only the thumbnails remained on the system disk, so when I had the new drive installed, the engineer made these the iphoto library.
Fortunately, I had most of my photos backed up on a separate harddrive (in the 'originals' folder). What is the best way of putting these into my iphoto library in place of the thumbnails already there? (ie, don't want to see both in iphoto).
I'd put the iPhoto library on the separate hard-disk, but unbeknownst to me, about a year ago, iPhoto began saving imports on the system drive again, so these were the pictures I lost.
On another point, since I installed iphoto 6, the location of photos has become confusing, with the whole photo library pre-iphoto 6 duplicated in a folders called 'Originals' and 'Data'. Neither of these maintain the original easily navigable and logical date hierarchy file structure, but have saved all photos in a folder marked 2007, by roll number. The date folders which remain only contain a 'data' folder containing .attr files. Not very practical.
In short the whole thing is a mess: for some photos the system has saved 5 copies in various places.
Is there anything that can be done to consolidate the iPhoto library and put it back on a date-based filing system?raggabishp
To start at the end:
Is there anything that can be done ... put it back on a date-based filing system?
No, once you use iPhoto 6, that's the file system. But it's not that difficult to follow: A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Finding the Picture file is easy: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
So the structure is different, but - especially if you use the Film Rolls view - very straightforward.
There is no easy way to rid yourself of these 'thumbs become originals'. If the thumbs have the same filenames as the Originals, then you could overwrite the thumbs with the Originals, but you would need to do that on a file by file basis, I'm afraid.
Other than that, compare the full size pics with the thumbs and trash the duplicates is all I can suggest.

Lightroom and corrupted tif files.
For some reason, now when I right click on tif file in windows I'm getting a pop up box that states;
Explorer. Tif:corrupt file.
This applies to all tif files on all drives.
I first noticed this with imported to lightroom from raw pef files, processed and then exported from light room.
it also includes files opened from Pentax RAW files, processed with ACR and CS2 then saved as tiffs.
any ideas?
Simon.No. I'm running XP and my files are Pentax PEF raw files and tiffs created from these.
Tiffs opened from a cd are fine - as are tiffs copied to my PC from cds. It's as if windows has decided that there is a problem with all tiffs on the machine.
double clicking them - they open fine in CS2.
If I right click to get the menu - then the error message clicks in. -
Back then, before I had updated to the newest version of Firefox, I could close all the browser windows and still have the downloads remain active. However, now that I have updated my Firefox to its most up-to-date version, whenever I close all the browsers, the download who stop. Even though the file is nowhere near completion, the program would think it's finished downloading and ends up corrupting it. Is there any way to revert back to the way it was when I first had Firefox? Thanks.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone. -
How do I Move Library and not referenced files?
I would like to move the library from my external HD to my internal laptop hd so I can look at the thumbnails of my shots while on the road. I want to keep the referenced files on the external HD. How can I achieve this?

It sounds like your current setup is using *referenced masters*. If this is the case then you can just move the Aperture library over to your internal disk. As the masters haven't moved Aperture should be able to find them without any intervention on your part. If Aperture can't find the masters then you'll need to run *File->Locate Referenced Files...* to reconnect them.
If your current setup is using *managed masters* you will need to turn those into referenced masters. Whether you do this before copying the library over to the internal disk isn't critical, unless you're low on space on the internal drive. If you copy the library over before turning the masters into referenced masters you'll need enough disk space to whole library. -
Moving my itunes library to a removable hard drive.
I have moved my itunes library to a removable hard drive. Every time I try to trash my old itunes file and access the removable HD, I cant find it from iTunes. the only thing I can get it to do is to reload (duplicate) the entire 30gb library on the HD I want it off of. Now I have 2 duplicate versions of my library, but still can't get it to keep the files on the HD. Can someone help?
MarkHey Mark -
I think it's helpful to understand how this whole process works, and along the way, maybe we'll find where things went wrong for your situation.
iTunes can take as much or as little control of your library as you like, and different settings may be turned on or off for you as it's not always standardized.
If you'd like your entire iTunes Library to be transferred to one centralized, organized location (wherever - a local directory or an external drive, whatever you like), here's what you need to do (and if it's not too late, here's what you need to go "back" and do to make this transition smoother).
- Open iTunes with the default library (where you had it).
- Select iTunes, Preferences, Advanced, and ensure that "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are both checked. This ensures that your music files are actually going TO the iTunes folder (and not, for example, just being referenced in a downloads folder which you'll probably move or delete later, breaking all those links) and that iTunes will sort your media by Artist\Album\Track Number Song.xxx instead of just moving the file as-is to a different spot.
- Select File, Library, Organize Library and check "Consolidate files" and "Reorganize files in the folder 'iTunes Media'". These two marks take anything up-to-this-point and consolidates them into the one location, then uses its sorting structure to file it all away.
Then, Mark, I think it's appropriate to exit iTunes, take that entire library folder (YourUsername\Music\iTunes\) and put it wherever you'd like it to go. To tell iTunes where your new library is, hold the Option key and click on the iTunes application, then "Choose Library" and reference your new location.
I think it's important to follow the preliminary steps first. I've run into instances with customers where they've moved their Library file, referenced it by Choosing the new Library, and then thought everything was fine, only to find two weeks later when they try to play an audio file that the file isn't found - and this happens because the user moved the library FILE but didn't have a consolidated library TO move - the files were spread out all over the computer.
I hope that's helpful to you. I know it may be too late to "undo" yourself back to the beginning and do those organizational steps, but it's at least useful to know the process and how it might help you in the future.
Best of luck. -
How to Restore Library and Playlists to Newly Wiped Hard Drive
Due to Windows problem, I had to reformat my hard drive.
Before I did, I copied the entire My Documents folder, including My Music and the iTunes music files and the My Playlist text files to a second hard drive - the D drive - in the same tree structure as they existed on the C drive.
I do NOT want the music files on the C: Drive - I want the music files on the new D: storage drive. I want iTunes on the C drive but knowing the music files are on the D drive.
I installed the iPod disc onto the newly cleaned C: Drive and downloaded iTunes ver 6.
Now I would like to have my iTunes library and playlists back just as they were but I am confused over the ADD FILE and ADD FOLDER commands.
Add Folder appears to copy the full music files back to the C Drive, which I do not want.
Add File appears to add the meta data, the library list, and
the playlists to iTunes, but when you go to play a track, the program says it cannot do so because it can't find the music file. To tell each track the new location of the music file listed means I would have to edit over 1200 line items -- even though I already told the program where the
music files would be.
Before trying to add the library and playlists as files, I went into EDIT, Prefences, Advanced and changed the iTunes folder location from
c:\mydocuments\mymusic\itunes\itunesmusic to
D:\mydocuments\mymusic\itunes\itunesmusic
Earlier I had used the Add Folder option and it copied all the music files to the C: drive. I had to delete them and
try something else.
What must I do to transfer just the meta data and keep the actual music files on the D drive?
Dell 8250 desktop Windows XPThe XML file is less important (See the link that Katrina provided above).
First re-install the iTunes program (if you have not already).
Make sure that the music folders and files are copied to the exact same location they were in prior to the PC Restore. If they were running on the C: drive, you'll need to place them there at first, then move them within iTunes.
Then copy the original ITL file you saved into the 'iTunes' folder, replacing the newly created (and smaller) ITL file that was created when you reinstalled iTunes.
Open iTunes and the Library should be as it was prior to the Restore.
To move the files to your D: drive keeping iTunes 'informed' see this link:

My computer caught a virus. My entire drive was wiped clean, however, I had recently done a backup to a portable hard drive. When I got my computer back from the tech, and logged into my itunes, my library shows all my songs, but NONE of them have a music file associated with it - therefore I cannot play it. I have located the music files on my external hard drive, confirmed they play, but don't know how to go about getting them from my hard drive to my computer. Can someone please help me?????
In iTunes, go to File > Add to Library and select the files/folders you would like to add.
You can also choose to consolidate library after that to move them off the external.
