Render files being deleted by app

I have several different sequences in a project. Whenever I try to render all the remaining unrendered sections of video in a given sequence, it completes the render and then deletes a previous render file, causing previously rendered shots in the sequence to suddenly become unrendered in the timeline.

What your experiencing, isn't normal at all, whether on a PPC or an intel machine. I've both running FCP 6.06 and don't see this behavior... So it's not a bug or I'd see it here, right? My guts say that there's something wrong with your basic setup.
How is a bug normal anyway? Why should you see the same bug as I? What if I regularly use a filter that you don't use? Do you regularly use SmoothCam?
Aahh, the $64,000 question. Yes, I admit, I've been witholding this critical piece of information. My apologies. A very dumb oversight. Most and possibly all of the shots that lose their render files are using the SmoothCam filter. But it still seems random in that other shots using that filter do not unrender. It could have something to do with using more than one instance of different parts of the same shot, all of which has been analysed. So perhaps it's a SmoothCam bug.
If the drives are formatted OS Mac Extended, and you're running the latest versions of QuickTime and OS you running, what's left to look into is the actual condition of your installation. If you've not done a clean install in a while it's likely what would fix you up.
Having said all that, yes of course, I've been seriously considering reinstalling. I just couldn't face it, especially since I did finally come up with a workaround that mostly solved the problem, even if it was a bit crazy (as many workarounds are).
There are no settings which would affect this at all either... so it's either hardware or software, and it's far more likely software as long as the drives are formatted for a Mac...
Yeah it's a pretty standard set up. All the media drives are extended with journaling turned off. I've tried using different drives as render drives and it doesn't make any difference. And it is gratifying to hear you say it's not a settings issue. I thought the same thing but I didn't trust my own opinion about that, so I was going to try it. Still might. But if all else fails it's a new installation and I'll let you know the result.
Cheers!

Issue with .cp file being deleted automatically!

My content team has complained about entire .cp files being
deleted without them deleting it and not being in their recycle
folder etc (3 different complaints). They couldn’t find them
anywhere, including the recent project list in the captivate
dashboard when you first open it. I was skeptical when they told me
this until this evening when it happened to me. This is a HUGE
issue, especially considering I have spent 10hrs on this file and
just published it to production and now it needs to be redone.
I checked with my developers to confirm it was the same
circumstances as mine and it is. It seems to occur if you are
closing a project and while it is closing, if you happen to be in
Windows Explorer with the closing .cp file name highlighted in the
folder. It disappears! I watched it with my own eyes. I checked my
recycle bin and it is not there. I checked the recent project pane
and it is not available for me to select.
Has anyone else seen this? If you haven’t, make sure
you do not do the above to make it happen!

Approx 700 Files being deleted from file server (server 2003) without permission

Hello,
We had a problem with files being deleted from our file server.
We lost approx. 700 files across approx. 40 directories from the file date codes between Nov. 30 2014 and Dec 3, 2014. All files before this date were not touch.
Our Dec. 1 backup had all of the files. Our Dec. 5 backup only have files before Sept. 1 2014 and after Dec. 3, 2014.
My question is how can this happen without going to each directory and sorted my date cade and delecting files from this date range.
Does anyone have any other ideals on how this could of happen?
Thank You
Bert

Shared Excel Files Being Deleted by DFSR

Hi
I've got a problem with our DFS setup. For several years we've been replicating from a live 2003 server to a 2008 R2 server for backup purposes. Users can only access the live server. The 2008 folders were not shared and never edited.
We needed to replace the 2003 server so I made the 2008 live and shared the folders and pointed DFS to that as the live target. After deleting the old replication group, removing the 2003 server completely and deleting the old DFSR folder from the Sysvol
of the 2008 server, I then built a 2012 R2 server to become the new live server. I setup replication to the new 2012 server using data collection from the 2008 to get a copy of the data across ready to switch.
Again, users can only access the 2008 server the 2012 is not shared. Yet after initial replication completed I started to get 4412 events stating files had been changed on multiple servers. I don't understand how this is possible when server is not accessible.
Then files began to disappear.
All the files logged as in conflict are Excel files that are being accessed by multiple users on the 2008 server. Sometimes it's OK. Sometimes the conflict removes the file from both servers and places it in the Conflict and Deleted. I am replicating the
lock files even though only one copy of the data is available to users.
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?
Cheers
Mart

Apologies didn't explain it very clearly. The 2003 server is removed. So the DFS is pointed to a single folder target, the 2008 server.
I set up the 2012 in a replication group to collect data from the 2008 server. Eventually I intend to point the folder target to the 2012 and only the 2012 but after initial replication I started to get the problem.
Currently, even though the DFS has only one folder target on the 2008 server, I'm getting 4412 in event viewer on both servers telling me files have changed on more than one server. I don't understand how that's happening as the copy on the 2008
server is the only one that is shared and targeted for users to access. Also there are only these two servers in the replication group.
Hope that is clearer.

IOS File.documentsDirectory: Deleted when App in Uninstalled?

I don't think I can verify this without jailbreaking, which I'm not allowed to do.
On my test iPad, an app's File.documentsDirectory appears to be a folder created specifically for that app. It looks something like this:
/var/mobile/Applications/EB67921A-AB8F-E432J1C3E553/Documents/
This differs from Windows, where File.documentsDirectory is:
C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\
When you uninstall an app, does the app's Documents directory get deleted? If so, are there any situations where it would not get deleted?

On iOS, there is no shared directory that all applications can access. It's why the document directory just create his own directory in his local space. Since everything is local on iOS, your directory will be destroyed with the app.
On Android, the documentDirectory is the sd card and won't be deleted with your app.

How can I go back and retrieve lost files after deleting an App

I updated my Branchfire iAnnotate App last evening. When opening the App my screen went blank. Branchfire recommended a force quit which I did and the App was gone. I downloaded the App from my purchased Apps successfully. Upon opening the App all files were gone. I need those files or I am big time screwed. Someone please help!!! Thanks

Jim, thanks for the response. To be clear, there is no way to go back in time with the iPad? is there an App for that process?

Despite home page set as default,prefs file being deleted. (twice) it still opens in welcome window, alongside is my home page tab,add on checking doesnt finish .

everytime I open firefox. checking for add ons flashes up and disappears then welcome page opens, my home page tab is alongside it. I have uninstalled firefox. deleted the prefs file. instructed my privacy programme to ignore firefox all to no avail. I know I can edit user.js but not sure how. I can open it in notepad as instructed in help files but have no idea what to do next and what to edit.

Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

Why are my render files INSIDE my FCE app?!!!

I am really puzzled. I've let this massive video project of animated stills, narration, and sound effects sit for a year. The files got on two machines and when I went to work on it while traveling, it was quite a job to gather it together onto my laptop.
I had some bugs in the narration that just wouldn't mixdown correctly until I manually pulled out some duplicate files that were competing. They would come back as before due to some cache/backup system. I finally rendered the offending sequences until they worked properly.
Now, after I had gotten Episode 1 to the place where I could burn it to a DVD (it is 55 minutes long), I found I had no headroom on the main disc (I started this project on my present laptop seven years ago and I kept using FCE 2 until the project is finished (hopefully, very soon! There are three episodes @ 55 minutes).
This is the home stretch and I want to get it into shape to pass it onto others to modify as needed. When I used Omni Disksweeper to find where I could reduce the files on my main disc, there was a big lump coming from my FCE application! I had to open the database packaging and, lo and behold, there were sequence files right there!!! How can that be?!!!
So, my question, here, is mainly this one:
1. How can I find all the files that FCE is using for this episode of 7 sequences so that I can hand them over with FCE 2.0.3 to those who are going to modify it for other applications at a future date? As you can see above, these files have ended up in the strangest places and I don't have a list that takes me back to all the rendered root files! They are scattered. How do I know which ones to gather and from where?

Well, Tom, this is quite the anomaly, then. I wish I could post a picture of these two files in the actual FCE application package! It is both the Audio & Video Render folders with rendered sequences! Totally bizarre (I could post a picture of it to you). If you open the FCE application, you get the Content folder >MacOS folder>Final Cut Express with the render folders along side of it!
Anyway, I can easily move them out of there to the appropriate folders and then reconnect the media. I will take your advice after exporting the episode into the needed formats and leave the rendered files behind when passing it over to awaiting hands (it will greatly lighten the data load!).
Your advice is to gather the important files and folders which have the underlying media (e.g. scans, sound effects, and narration) and the instructional FCE Project File. Thank you for bringing me back to task! And if you want that snapshot of this bizarre event, I'll send it! Totally baffling...

Game Center friends not being deleted from apps

They've been removed from GC just fine, but when I go into my apps I can still see people I've deleted listed as friends.

Why are my files being deleted?

I have an interesting problem and this is the second time it has happened in 2 months.
I have a mac mini server running mountain lion server with a disk partition where our client folders are stored. This partition is then shared across the network via file sharing.
Last Friday, a number of folders from this shared partition were deleted, alphabetically (about 4-5Gb of info) - about 6 client folders. The last time date I have is 5.09pm on the last top most folder that had items deleted. A Retrospect backup then started 5.13pm. (These may be unrelated). We were still working on some of these files around 3pm.
So sometime between 3pm and 5.13pm these files disappeared.
There were only 2 of us and one of us accidently deleting so many files seems unlikely.
This happened once before but only a few client folders were deleted.
I have done the following:
1. Scanned for viruses
2. Run recovery for deleted files
and found nothing, it is like they never were there.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
This one has left me bamboozled.

Nevermind. Audible was helpful. Once I tried to play one Audible book in iTunes, I was asked to authorize it, which then authorized all of them. The problem seemed to have been caused by changing computers. Apparently the authorization didn't move with me.
I still think it's confusing to have the Deauthorize Audible menu choice without an Authorize Audible choice.

File being deleted from Creative Cloud folder

Creative Cloud just deleted a file from my CC folder on my mac. The desktop application gave me a notification saying that a file had just been deleted. I did not delete it, and I'm unusure about what went wrong.
I tried to contact the custumer support chat, but the guy didn't really know what he was doing. What can i do?

I had similar problems with Google Drive about a year ago. It had to do with a very large folder, over 100Gb. The problem as I saw it was some sort of delay in a delete comand when I moved the file. It was ricocheting through the system somehow. Each time I tried to re-synch my folder, the command would send from the cloud to delete the local folder. What I noticed was that when I went into the on-line trash folder on Google Drive, some of the files were there, but not all of them. I would restore what was there, then come back later, and more would appear. Rinse, repeat.
My Google Drive hasn't acted up since then. They instituted a policy to have a pop up confirmation appear before deleting local files. My advise is to keep large files off the cc until Adobe catches up.

What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

Yes, if you duplicate without the render files and delete the original project you lose the render files. But render files get recreated - automatically if you have it set in the preferences (which is the default option). It just takes time.

Where are my render files saved?

I have 4 Hard drives in my mac pro. All but the fourth is pretty full and one is my OS and apps. I started a new project on the 4th hard drive. My render files will also be saved on this 4th hard drive. Is that correct? If not where do I change the render file destination? For some reason I was working on this new project on the 4th hard drive and I got a message indicating that I was running out of room on my 3rd hard drive. I was a bit confused by this since this new project was started on the 4th hard drive. Another question is can I delete my old render files from a project but the project still remains entact? It would just have to be rerendered, correct? Thanks for any help you can give. you guys always seem to enlighten my amateur knowlege.
Scott

The 3rd dive will get down to mb's left. I deleted some render files from old projects on the 3rd hard drive so I am back up to 10 gb's. I am not trying to use the 3rd hard drive any more unless I have to access an old aperture library. When I go to the render files of a project, there are 3 files (high quality media, Peaks Data and thumbnail media). Can I delete all these render files without deleting the project or the contents of the project? Thanks again. You have always been a big help.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Protect DLL Files from being deleted or unregistered

I am looking for a way to protect a DLL file from being deleted or unregistered.
My users have an application that uses the same DLL files as another application. This is in a test environment, so when they are uninstalled they step on each other by deleting or un-registering the DLLs.
Any ideas?

Hi,
These apps are designed to delete the DLL file in uninstallation process. You can test to Deny the Delete permission on the DLL file as a test but it may cause a new issue that application think they failed to uninstall itself clearly as the DLL file cannot
be deleted. Just have a try on Deny Delete permission in NTFS security.
