Save error and subsequently missing file - CS3

Trying to save a psd file, an error message states "could not save, "filename" is not a valid file name". This is a file we already had created and successfully saved to, several times prior. There are no forbidden characters in the file and the complete file name, including path, is under the maximum allowed characters. We did a save-as on the file and named it to "filename"2, then it saved, but the original file was no longer in the folder. That concerns me quite a bit. Anyone have any insight as to what might cause that?
Thanks!!!
Our system:
Vista 64, 4gigs of ram, 2 1TB hard drives with lots of free space and defragged weekly.
PS CS3, ram levels set to about 75%, 25 history states and cache levels set to 5.

but the original file was no longer in the folder. That concerns me quite a bit.
Are those drives external drives? If so, the specific sequence how data is saved on such drives might explain it. Other than that the usual - permission issues, virus scanners, indexing tools... Hard to tell.

TS3212 the new download of itunes will not run. I get a message during the process that I need to verify that I have sufficient privilege. then I get an error 126 and a missing file MSVCR80.dll. what can I do?

I'm trying to download the new version of itunes. durig the install i get a message that I need to verify that I have sufficient privilege. Then I get a message of a Windows error 126 and a missing file MSVCR 80.dll. I've tried everything on the support site and nothing works.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files. It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them. I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
Thanks again for any help!!!!

It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores. Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

Does PSA3 SE have Catalog Recover and Reconnect Missing Files

Hi Jim Jutte and Colin Walls,
I was looking at this thread over on the PS Elements forum where the submitter seems to have some problems where he thinks that some photo files did not transfer from PSA3 SE to PSE 5.
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc1dc66
I suggest that you also look at this thread. I don't have PSA3 SE to know what functions it does or does not have. If PSA3 SE does have Catalog Recover and Reconnect Missing Files, can he go back to his PSA3 SE Catalog now and do the Reconnect Missing Files and Catalog Recover, then retry the catalog upgrade again in PSE5?

Colin,
It's been a while since I'm used any bells and whistles in Access. What is
the function called?
Cheers

Time Machine and Excel Missing File

Hello, this is my first posting here and I would appreciate some help.
An important Excel file of mine just disappeared both on my hard drive as well as on my Time Capsule backup, which is really puzzling me. Here are the facts:
1. I am using an iMac, running Mac OS X 10.5.8, with Excel:mac 2008 version 12.2.7. I religiously update both my OS and applications, so they are both up to date
2. Within Excel, if I go to File/Open Recent, there is a dropdown of recently opened files. The missing file is shown there but the "xlsx" tag is missing on that name, oddly. The other files (which are all still there) still have the "xls" or "xlsx" tag. When I click on that file, I get that error message that the file cannot be found
3. I then opened up my Time Machine on my Time Capsule and went scrolling back in time, and really weirdly, this file is missing in every version of backup. My Time Machine has the default backup of hourly for the past 24 hours, daily for the past month, and weekly before. I went into the folder where I kept the file all the way back to July (when I got the Time Capsule) and this file is missing from EACH backup. All other files are there.
I work on this file every day and I tend to keep it open on iMac. Usually when Excel crashes or something, it reloads with a recovered version but Excel hasn't crashed recently. I worked on this file as recently as yesterday and saved it in the same place where I've been saving it for the past several months.
OK, what's changed from yesterday to today? Last night when I updated my software there was an update from Microsoft for a security patch. Could it have detected a virus in this file and deleted this file from my hard drive and then from each and every backup in Time Machine?
The second change was that I selected "Back Up Now" for the first time on Time Machine last night after that patch. I usually had Time Machine run automatically, but while I was updating, I decided to do a forced backup. Could this forced backup have deleted all prior instances of this file if it was missing on my hard drive then?
This file is important to me, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can retrieve it? I thought having Time Capsule would save this kind of headaches. I did a search within the backups, in case the file mysteriously "moved", but the file is just plain missing on all backups and on my hard drive. To make things worse, I Emptied my Trash last night, so I can't see if it is in there. Though, I didn't delete the file.
Thanks for any help!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Seems very doubtful, especially since there are no viruses that run on OSX.
There is a small amount of malware, but you have to actively participate in getting it onto your Mac.
But . . . are you running any anti-virus software? Some of it does cause all sorts of problems on Macs.

No. A backup is a backup is a backup; they're all the same, no matter how they're started. And Time Machine only deletes things when it "thins" backups. Basically, it keeps all backups for 24 hours, except the first of each day, which it keeps for a month, and the first of each week, which it keeps as long as there's room.
So it's a bit unpredictable, but if a file is on your Mac for at least 24 hours, its backup will be kept for at least a month.

I don't use Excel, so can't help much with specifics. Is it possible this is some sort of temporary file that's either never actually saved to disk, or is saved with a different name each time?
Are all your other, similar files in your backups?

Error opening document: missing file

I have a Pages template that has started opening up with the following error box:
The following errors occurred while trying to open this document:
Missing file: businesscircles_logosgrey.pdf
When I hit "continue", the document (template) opens up fine and appears to be missing nothing. I've searched my computer for the missing file and it doesn't exist (and I have no recollection of why I'd insert a pdf into a template anyway...)
Within Pages I've clicked in View>Show Invisibles, thinking that might reveal something. It didn't.
Any ideas? Thanks!
PS I am running Pages 2.0

Hello,
I had this problem a while ago with an old version 1.x file when open it in Pages 2. After some examination, it seems to appear with placeholder objects mainly (like the image you are writing about). But this was the only time I encountered the problem.
Argelius,
try to copy the image from the business letter template with this steps:
1) Click on the Pages app icon with holding the control key down and choose the item "Show the Package Content" of the appearing menu.
2) Navigate to the business letter template "Contents/Resources/<YourUsedLanguage>.lproj/Templates/ISO/Stationery/" (or "Traditional" instead of "ISO" if you are using Legal and no DIN letter sizes).
3) Do "Show the Package Content" on the letter icon and you will see a new window with all the content of the letter.
4) Search for the image and copy it.
5) Show your own letter document (the document should be closed in Pages), with which the error appears, and show the package content.
6) Paste the image into the package folder.
Now the error message should not appear by opening the document. Search your document if the logo image is placed in it. If yes, have a look at the menu "Format/Advanced/" if the image is marked as a placeholder image. Deactivate this and than delete the image. Save the document (perhaps as a duplication) and close it. See if the problem is gone by open the new document again.

Premiere Elements 7 project save error and compatibility error on Win 7

I have installed Premiere Elements 7 on a Win 7 32 bit os HP8000 desktop. When I try to save a project to H: drive on a Novell server, I get a "project save error". You can save fine to the desktop, but not to the H: drive. If you try to open a Premiere Elements 7 file (on the Win 7 machine) that was created on a WinXP machine with the same Premiere Elements 7 program, you get "Projects created with adobe premiere pro and adobe premiere elements are not compatible. Please use the appropriate application to open this project."
Help please. Thanks.

Solved. The problem was to do with the Novell Client. I installed the latest version (Client 2 sp1 ir4 for Win 7) and that solved the problem.
fyi and thanks

I did not take the time to try to decipher what your program is doing, but I think you could replace all those feedback nodes and Build Arrays with an integer data type and the Rotate function from the Numeric >> Data Manipulation palette. You will still need one shift regsiter or rfeedback node for each of the four signals.
You have duplicated code: Divide by 65535, multiply by 2, and subtact 1 followed by a > comparison. Make that a subVI and place 4 instances on your block diagram.
Those simple changes will make you diagram understandable, reduce its size to the size of a postcard, and make any future changes easier.

Locating and reinstalling missing files in Lightroom 1.4 ....

I would like to know how to re-install missing files once you locate a missing folder or set of files, I don't understand what to do next (once you have found the files) in order to put the file back into it's original location so the files will work in Lightroom (i.e. change the "red" wording back into "white wording" in the folder column). Initially I click onto the red word and a"locate missing folder" window pops up indicating the files original location at the bottom of the window. I have tried putting that file back into it's original location but nothing changes in Lightroom.
Also I notice that the file will still be listed in the library so when I have tried to just drag that fie back into Lightroom, I am unable to because a window pops up saying the file is already in the catalog. At which point it ask me if I would like to see that file in the Library. Once I see the file in the library I have to delete it in order to re-install the original file.
EEEEKKKKKS there must be a simpler way than this just to re-locate files and make the work again ????? I have tried finding information in Adobe's support manual for Lightroom but can't seem to find the answer. I have also tried using other sources like Scott Kelby's book on Lightroom.
This seems like such an obvious problem that would occur with all users so I know I must missing or overlooking something here. I love Lightroom but this is one of the little frustrations I have with the program. I wish a better manual came with the program when I bought it......
I would appreciate any help anyone has on this topic..... Wesley Wong

Hi Marc:
Thank you so very much!! Your recommendation worked. I was able to do a complete search of my computer and found that LR actually stored the originals on my external HD. I was able to link the missing photos from there and I am back in business again! Thanks again for the advice......you are a lifesaver!! Still learning the ins and outs of LR, but I'm getting there.
Glad to hear it all worked out !

HUGE iTunes AND iPod ERRORS! From "missing files" to the "! Folder"...

My video iPod (30GB) was bought only about a month ago. It was working fine until a few days ago, when the Music Store wouldn't work. I tried to update it, but it stayed the same. I also saw a message asking to update my iPod software (forgot version #, but it's the newest one), so I opted to update it. I don't know if what happened next is a result of this, or if it just happened, but here's what happened:
I found my iPod off and when I turned it on, it shows the ! Folder and turns off. If I put it in disk mode, it is black and white and in smaller text (looks similar to the Mini rather than the Video). I couldn't get to anything else after turning it on besides disk mode and the folder. It makes that noise recognizing it, but it's not in My Computer either.
I tried updating iTunes, but I get a message (this is after trying to restore the system back to before I updated) "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." Of course I do about 5 times, but it does not work and I get the same message. Then I try to back up by using the CD given in the box to install it from there, but it says that there is already another version and I'd have to uninstall by the Control Panel. When I try, I press Change/Remove, but it only loads halfway and closes without doing anything. Therefore I can't get rid of my current iTunes. I see if I can update my iPod, but it says that there is an iPod Service error. It seems like Apple is out to get me or something. Please help, this was a "partial" gift (I paid half) that was pretty pricey for me also, since I am only 14. Any help would definitely be appreciated, and thank you all for your time.
Windows XP

YES it WORKS!!! After almost a whole week!
The help wasn't really on this site (mainly), but I'll tell how I got the life back in my iPod. Thanks for the reply though Hackstar18.
I used a DIFFERENT COMPUTER though (we have two) for this since the first one had a corrupt iTunes. I went to My Computer to see if my iPod was listed under there. At first, I didn't see one, so I disconnected it, and noticed that something called "Removable Disk (G:)" (or something along those lines) was removed from the list. Then I reconnected my iPod and it came back, so I knew the (G:) disk was it. I clicked on it, and it said it wasn't formatted correctly, so I decided to format it. It took about an HOUR to do this, but it finally formatted it. I then tried to update/restore it with my 2005 updater (I uninstalled 2006 one). It said "iPod manager internal error" which is different than the "iPod Sevice error" I was getting. I thought I was getting somewhere and that I was onto something, so I went on iTunes (it works on this computer). It showed me the popup where it asks the name and to register, and I was RELIEVED. I installed the 1.1 version and tried it, and after having to close the iTunes window, it recognized it and gave me the option to restore. Of course, while being shocked, I did, and after the short wait, I noticed my screen was back to color, it was responding, and it was back to normal! The update removed some of the things like the backlight option people were talking about and I noticed the options on the main menu were less, but it was back. I'm glad I DIDN'T request to get it serviced/repaired and send it in, because I was so close to doing so. Now, I just gotta transfer my old songs from my defective iTunes on the other computer to this computer.

Since I installed Firefox 25 I get 3 error messages regarding missing files: wlanapi.dll, GlobalUtils.dll, and UA_Modules.dll. How do I fix this?

I tried resetting Firefox but nothing changed. When I try to use an interactive website, everything freezes unless I continually move the mouse.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox aborts LARGE downloads on completion with an 'unknown error' and the whole file has to be downloaded again - surely there must be a workfile somewhere?

Because I only have satellite internet available to me, I have to download YouTube files in my download window. Several times now, one or two of maybe five or six files, all being downloaded simultaneously *to the same directory*, will abort with an error message "<filename> could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location". However, you don't get a chance to save it to a different location, the whole damned file has to be downloaded again from scratch. This is actually with IceWeasel 17.0.10, a thinly-disgusided version of Firefox 17 LTS, running on 64-bit Debian 7.1 multihome.
I realise this may be a plugin problem rather than a Firefox problem, I'm not sure of the exact relationship between the two, but I'm using TubeEnhancer 2.6 to do the downloads.
Whatever the 'unknown error' might be (and it's not a permissions problem, other videos being downloaded at the same time will save correctly to the same directory!) it seems beyond belief that it's not possible to give the user a chance to save the file somewhere else, as the error message suggests. It's so frustrsting to have to go through the whole download process again. Surely Firefox is storing a copy of the file on the hard drive as it downloads, is there really no way that this can at least be recovered when the error occurs, even if it's not possible for some reason to give the user a second chance to pick a directory and filename?

OK, so I tried disabling the other addons and (I'm sure this is coincidental!) the problem actually got WORSE, not better, i.e. more aborted downloads.
This is a long-standing problem with both Firefox and Thunderbird, both programs will happily tell you *during* the download process that they've downloaded X MB of Y MB, but if the download aborts, then there's no indication that it's done so on the dowload page. All that is needed is to retain that expected download size figure when the download has terminated, so that you can easily see whether unattended downloads completed or not.
Yes, I suppose those of us who have to use satellite internet services are in the minority, but the only hours when I can download anything are between 0200 and 0700 my time, and I do like to get SOME sleep at nights!
