Rhythmbox cannot import files; gives ridiculous error

When I try to import the contents of my Music folder in Rhythmbox, it is unable to append any of the OGG, M4A, or MP3 files in said folder to its library. The error it gives (for each and every file) is "The file is not an audio stream: [file]". I've tried importing individual files, and directories within my Music folder, but I get the same error no matter what. :?

I think the issue has resolved, though not sure how.  In the right-side panel, I could see all the files I have tried to import over the last week, but the folder names were in italics.  I think I imported from there, somehow, and now I have a duplicate 2014 subfolder inside my original 2014 folder in the left-side panel.  The photos I was trying to import are there now, and everything else I have tried to import is now going into that new 201 subfolder.  So, I think you were right but I don't know enough about the ins and outs of Lightroom to understand how to follow your instructions. So, things are importing now, but into the new 2014 subfolder.  I can't seem to get them to import into my original 2014 folder.  I just wish I knew what I did to cause this!

  • Help--Cannot Import Files!

    I cannot import files into Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I have downloaded the latest updates and am on OS 10.4.9, but the problem started before the OS upgrade, so that isn't the problem.
    My Macbook is about 2 weeks old, and the program worked when I first got it. But then it started to give me this message:
    I installed the latest FCE Updates, but nothing seems to help. The only solution I have found is to create a seperate user account for video editing. I don't know why that works, but it's a pain. I don't like having to log out to work on a video.
    The files are just JPGs, and I even imported these same pictures before. Video files do not work either.
    I have searched and haven't found anything.
    Help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried deleting the preferences files in the account that doesn't work, as in Final Cut Express 2: How to Delete the Preference Files?
    Make sure you delete all 3 files: just adapt names to your version of FCE.

  • Error Message: Cannot import files because they cannot be found.

    What do I do?  I just purchased this!  I tried restarting and I just installed it about an hour ago.  I shouldn't already have this problem!

    A couple of questions/assumptions. The folders panel on the left side of the screen should be pointing to the location of the the files you wish to import and the panel on the right side should be pointing to where you want LR to store the imported files. Are you doing a move, copy or DNG conversion or are you telling Lightroom to just leave the files where they are and just import them into the catalog? Are you importing from a camera/card reader? The message indicates that LR can't read the folder that you pointed it to so there could be a number of reasons for that including security issues. More details would help.
    If you are importing directly from a camera or card reader, sometimes copying the files from the card to a temporary folder on your desktop and them importing the files from there works better but I can't explain why. This is what I do as part of my own workflow but I have read other posts where people have said that doing this first copy worked for them.

    I am reading from a text file the following data

    the second is manager one which is:
    import java.io.*;

    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class manager {

    int j = line.lastIndexOf(",");
    String sID = line.substring(0,m);

    String sln = line.substring(j+1);
    int n = 0;
    students[n] = new Student();
    students[n].setStudID(sID);
    students[n].setstudfName(sfn);
    students[n].setstudlName(sln);
    students[n].setAssignment1(0.0);

    System.out.println();
    // System.out.println("Sorted by stuID");
    for (int i=0; i<length; i++) {
    System.out.print("Student ID "+students.getstudid() + "|||");
    System.out.print("Student Fname "+students[i].getstudfName() + "|||");
    System.out.print("Student name "+students[i].getstudlName());
    when I comile progrma it doesn't give any error but when I run it gives me the following exception:
    java.lang.String.substring. IndexOutOfBoundsException string index out of range : -1
    as can be seen from the manager class I form the read line from readline method as follows:
    int m = line.indexOf(",");
    int j = line.lastIndexOf(",");
    String sID = line.substring(0,m);
    String sfn = line.substring(m+1,j) ;
    String sln = line.substring(j+1);
    Therefore, student ID should be read from the beggining tel the character before the comma (,) then from the character after first comma tel that before second comma will be firstname, finally the rest after second comma will be last name.
    I want my program to read all lines in the text file and put them in order as above forming the array like database record and print them all.
    Could you please Help me in this matter friends as soon as possible.
    Regards,
    Java_Hobby

    please, format you code first (select your java code and hit the code button), then post all the error log message.

  • None of the links in my TOC or INDEX work. Cannot find file is the error message.

    The files are on a networked drive. Win7. FM 8. I've renamed files. Regenerated. Created a new book. Nothing works.
    I do have hyphens and underscores in the file names but no other special characters.
    Need help urgently.
    The error message is:
    Cannot find file named
      \SOL\Data\TechDocs\DRAFT\Shiva\OperatorManual\096-0461-001C-1.
                 fm.
                 Make sure that the file exists.
    Note that the TOC and INDEX are listed in the book w/o a path while the body chapter has the entire path (above) listed in the book view.
    Thanks

    IIRC, FM8 had an issue with a path having more than 5 (or 6?) sub-folders. Try bringing the files up a few levels or create a mapped network drive down to the lower levels.

  • Win: Cannot import files from camera

    I am running PSE 6.0 on Windows XP. I have updated Camera Raw to the latest version. I have a Canon EOS XSi camera attached. When trying to import the files for the camera I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements cannot upload files from this device...." Camera is connected properly and has a strongly charged battery. PSE also cannot open or import RAW files that were transferred from the camera to the harddisk using other software. Latest version of the Camera Raw plugin is documented to support this camera. What am I missing? The import is working on a RAW file when this message occurs. The import stops and no files are imported.

    Which version of Camera Raw are you using ? Can you try copying these files from your camera on your hard disk and then trying import via File->Get Photos from Files and Folders.

  • I cannot import files on to FCPX.

    I have tried everything, trashing preferences and reinstalling app, but nothing seems to work. I deleted movie files to make space on the hard drive, since then I cannot get fcpx to load any files and work properly. What am I doing wrong?

    I deleted quick time movie files. The app then would not load properly. I then binned the whole app, and re-installed it from the app store. FCPX would not load at all at that point. I trashed preferences using digital rebellion. No joy. I then wiped the hard drive (backing everything up this time) and re-installed OSX mountain lion (latest version) and then again reinstalled the app. FCPX now loads, but it will not load any projects in the viewer or import files from any of my sd cards. It is not a hardware problem I have checked, I dont care if I lose files from FCPX I just want to be able to use the program  again. 
    Did you perform a clean install?

  • Cannot import files from hard drive

    I just got an iPod and downloaded iTunes (for Windows). I imported some music from CDs, but I can't import files from my hard drive. I've tried adding them as files and in a folder. Every time, nothing happens. I don't get an error message, but the songs don't show up anywhere in iTunes or on my iPod. Can anyone help me?
    P.S. They are .aac files.
    iTunes 7.0.2.16   Windows XP  

    Can you confirm that you are following one of the methods in the Add to Library section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    In particular, pay attention to the statement that "iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."

  • Cannot open file, plug in error

    Cannot open file error message in InDesign software. PLEASE HELP!!!! Does not support file format, a plug in that supports the file format may be missing. can anyone help with this please??

    No, that message means exactly what it says. More than 90% of the time we see this the file turns out not to be an InDesign file at all, but something else with the wrong file extension. The other major cause is there is a lock file (.idlk) in the same folder where the file is stored (usually left over from a crash).
    Can you open the file "As a Copy?"

  • Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

    I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software.  I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
    I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4  I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...".  Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
    I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine.  I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
    So my questions come down to :
    Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8?  Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
    Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
    I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4.  Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
    Hmmm?
    Thanks for any help, insight,
    Mike

    BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route.  I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support.  Appreciate the link.
    And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down.  I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am.  I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4.  I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers.  That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs.  Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
    Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.
