Render files missing-after duplication and also after moving

I have to replace a drive, which is still working well, so i went ahead and tried to move libraries with all its content (Events,projects,reneder files), which doesnt exist as an option... as far as i was able to figure this out....
then i went ahead to move events, where as one in 5 was movable the others would only have copy as an option.
which strikes me as oddity already...
after this was done i compared the content of libraries between the 2 drives, and was in shock.
the render files were all missing, needless to state here, that i wil NOT re-render weeks of work again...LOL
so i went and googled this, and came to thousands of answers on how to move or copy events to a different location , but always on the same HD.
there was absolutely nothing about moving Libraries with the Events and Projects and render Files all together explained ,....  ANYWHERE!
is there anyone out there who knows how to do this, so the render files actually move over to a new HD and ,...of course,...are reconnected there propperly and usable?
manually moving these render folders will NOT reconnect them to the projects,.... just as a FYI ...
why is there no instructions in the FCPX help menu on moving " Everything "..??
but thousands of article on how to move only parts and pieces .....

using disk utility to do a clone of the old drive to a brandnew   drive... would this have done the trick?
you know the restore to destination trick....
or would have these renderd files still not connect since the drive might have a unique manufacturer id number...
yes ...the new drive would have been called the very same as the old drive...
the old drive has a clicking noice so seagate replaced it...
and i am in a challenge to move all stuff over now...to the new drive...

  • Render files missing after export using compressor

    The deets:
    Render file path is correct.
    Render files live on an XSAN, shared by multiple users.
    The FCP Sequence is fully rendered before output through compressor.
    After compressor is done working, sequence becomes unrendered.
    Any ideas?
    Manually relinking is not a viable solution - we work with a buttload of media. Each program is 30 mins & takes enough time to render to make this a major issue.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm sure there's a reason for this to happen, which given the info provided I have not quite identified, however, to keep things going...
    After full render of video and audio export as QT movie "reference" ( uncheck self-contained box before exporting) that will take a lot less to export and a LOT less space.

    Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
    Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
    Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
    Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
    When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

  • Render files from After Effects inserts do not reload when starting Premiere Pro (CS6)

    Hi there,
    When I have an insert from After Effects in Premiere Pro, and when I render these parts in the sequence, everything is fine untill I restart Premiere Pro: the render files do not load. Checking the cache directory however, they do exist! Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
    Thanks for yor response, Pieter

    I failed to mention that I tried this on another computer as well with a completly different lesson. This time I brought the whole footage in to afteraffects and did the keying and then went back to CS6 and tried to render it, and it locked up my second computer the same way.

  • HT4477 One complete family file missing after installing iPhoto 11 ??

    One complete family file of photo's is missing after installing iPhoto 11. Installation went smoothly, and all other files complete. Have checked thru entire photo lists, including photo list at the top. Found two photo's in that should have been in that photo list that were downloaded 2 months prior to installing iPhoto 11. I keep files of each family branch on left side iPhoto window. Only the one file is missing. ????

    I meant folder. Have 6 kids, and to keep track of each family quickly, I set up folders on left side of iPhoto. All others are there.

  • Original file missing after sync-ing folder with PS edit versions

    Here's an oddly specific and challenging problem for you, I bet you can't figure it out (I'm trying to pluck your competitive strings).
    I just noticed that some of my photos are missing from the library in lightroom, specifically the original versions of photos that have virtual copies edited in photoshop in folders that have since been synchronized.  Weird, and very anoying.  The files are still there (in wondows explorer) but when I try to re-import them lightroom doesn't see them, only the PS edited copies (.tif files).  I told lightroom to allow duplicates and it sees all the photos in the folder except those missing ones.  This does not happen to my PS edited virtual copies in folders that have not been synchronized.  It is not a matter of stacking, or at least Lightroom does not think the PS copies are stacked at all so I can't unstack them.  This is really annoying and I'm hoping someone can help me get them back into lightroom (preferably with the accompanying development settings) and also how to avoid this problem in the future.  If you need any further details or screenshots let me know
    PS: I import files from my camcorder using a different program because lightroom does not acknowledge that particular video file format.  That's why I have to synchronize some folders and not others.

    The first group are from one of the synchronized folders so only the PS copy shows up in lightroom.  The second group are from a folder than hasn't been synchronized so the PS and original files both show up in lightroom.

  • Desktop files missing after Mountain Lion update.

    Hi All,
    I work in a research lab at a University, and we ran an update on one of our lab computers [previously on 10.7.4]. Upon updating the OS to Mountain Lion, all of my files were fine, with the exception of the files on the desktop.
    On the HD, there was the newly selected user name [BlankenshipLab], and the old username, which said [JB(deleted)]. I could look into the (deleted) folder, and see subfolders for Desktop, Documents, Movies, etc., etc. But, I couldn't access them, as it said I didn't have permissions. As such, I rooted the new user, and I used the sudo chown -R blankshiplab:staff /Users/JB/Desktop. I used this command on all other subvolumes. When I gained access, the desktop folder, was empty, however. There were old files in the documents and downloads folder that weren't there before, either.
    If anyone could help us recover the missing files, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Best,

  • User and Computer memberships are missing after moving computer and user objects using ADMT

    Hi to everybody.
    Source domain Windows 2003. Destination domain Windows 2008. I use ADMT 3.2
    I have noticed 2 issues:
    1. After migrating users, membership to all Bultin domain groups, is lost. Migration of custom groups is completed without any problems prior to start migrating users.
    a. Example 1: user in source domain belongs to Domain Admins, Domain Users and a custom Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! And the worst of all
    is that I believe that Domain users membership was not produced by the migration but from the AD mechanism that automatically gives every new user the Domain Users membership. Look at example 2.
    b. Example 2:user in source domain belongs only to the Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! 
    2. After migrating a computer account from source domain to destination domain I have noticed in the "Local Users and Groups" that the Domain Admins  membership in the Administrators group is missing. 
    Any ideas? I think I am missing something fundamental here. 
    Thank you all in advance. 

    additionally, from the migration log I see the following
    WRN1:7372 ADMT does not process BUILTIN accounts or change the membership of BUILTIN groups (Administrators,
    etc.).
    there is 1 line of the above WRN for each builtin group that the user belongs in the source domain. This
    means that there I have to do this membership update manually? And what if I have 1500 users and 300 groups? 

  • Need 2 Audigy4 software files missing after auto-update

    Hi:
    Two requests here... (thanks in advance).
    I performed an auto-update of my SBAudigy4 software components, only
    to find unfortunately that the following files are now missing (and maybe
    more):
    "C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy4\Entertainment Center\RCSettings.exe"
    "C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy4\Audio Device Selection\CTAudSel.exe"
    The original CD does not let me re-install the application, and the binaries
    above are in ".cab" files which, try as I may with several CAB tools, I can't
    open up.
    Can anyone who has the latest version of these two files, zip them up and email
    them to me. Actually, if its not too much trouble (or to big) the entire
    "Entertainment Center" and "Audio Device Selection" directories would be
    great, in case I'm missing a few more files than I realize.
    Also, does anyone happen to have a PDF file explaining how to configure
    the RM-500 remote control. I got the Audigy4Pro with my Alienware and
    don't see a manual. (and the "manual.chm" file sucks).
    My email is: [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Noelle

    Hi [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/view_profile?user.id=2788" target=top><SPAN>xmn[/url] :
    Thanks for replying. Yes, the files are probably on the CD but, as I mentioned, are compressed
    in any one of several ".CAB" files which I cannot open no matter what CAB tool I use. Could you
    send them to me... that would be grand. Either the two files I specified, or even better, the entire
    directory each file is held in would be great. A zip or rar file with that data will do.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Podcast file missing from itunes and ipod

    I uploaded an mp3 file to my ipod and changed the media type from music to podcast. Now the file doesn't show up in any category of my ipod on itunes, and it doesn't show up anywhere on my ipod. However, if I do a search on the ipod for the name of the file, it shows up as a podcast and I can play the file, even though it doesn't show up in the podcast directory. If I can't find the location of the file, how can I delete it after I've listened to it? Syncing my podcasts made no difference.

  • Apparent file miscounts after moving itunes library

  • Render files missing? - need help

    I was organizing my files and folders, and I must of moved something that had some render files in it. When I start up FCP, I get the "offline files" message that says all my render files went offline.
    It says I have 1 media file offline and 228 render files offline. Th puzzling part is if I just continue, the video plays just fine - no rendering needed, no rendering bar. But I can't export using compressor because it says it can't find any render files.
    So when I hit "reconnect", it takes me to the menu to reconnect the media. When I search, it finds nothing.
    When I look at my media hard drive, I see my projects and see render folders. So there are render folders there. The only thing I can think of what happened is I had duplicate render folders, and when I cleaned up and organized, I must of deleted the duplicate and erased the trash.
    I would think when you render, it would create the render files into the appropriate folder. So I guess the solution would be to re-render the whole video, which is fine since I have the time. Would that the best solution?
    And if so, what is the best way to accomplish this?
    Sidebar: In my media hard drive, I have a folder that says 'render files' and each video project I'm working on has a folder within. Is that the best method for storage? Or is it best to have each project as a folder, with it's own render files folder within the video project folder?

    From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > System Settings > Scratch Disks.
    The second entry will tell you where FCP expects your Render folder to be.
    If you have moved the folder with the Finder to another location, the path to it is broken, as far as FCP is concerned.
    Either, move the folder to the location that Final Cut Pro expects, change the location in the Scratch Disks window to where the folder currently resides or delete the individual subfolders and render again.

  • Music files missing after sync with iTunes

    All of my devices are updated to the last version.
    I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
    Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
    It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
    Zen style APPLE !!

    It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
    try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
