"Target folder cannot be an existing non-CVS location"

I recently installed 9.03 with cvs 1.11.2. I set up a password server for cvs, and imported a project into that cvs server. I went ahead and selected the "check out after importing" option, thinking that it would make my original directory that I imported from become cvs'd. But when I selected the directory to checkout to, it tells me "Target folder cannot be an existing non-CVS location." It works fine if I select a new directory, but I'm happy with my current directory structure. Shouldn't I be able to check out the files into the current directory and overwrite the existing files? I thought that this worked in 9.02. Any ideas?
Andrew

From what I gather, this is a limitation of CVS itself: you can't check out to a directory which contains existing files unless that directory is a CVS sandbox.
The easiest way to work around this is to rename the original import directory after the import has completed. E.g. if you're importing from:
c:\mycvswork\mymodule
Then, after the import has completed, rename this directory to
c:\mycvswork\mymodule_bak
And you should be able to checkout to c:\mycvswork\mymodule.
Thanks,

Error occurred while converting the file "song name" the required folder cannot be found

In ITunes 12, while trying to import from CDs I keep getting this message "error occurred while converting the file "song name". The required folder cannot be found". It will import 2 or 3 or 5 songs and then this message. I have tried multiple CDs, a few seem to work fine, but most don't import completely.

I think I found out why this happens. I am using an external hard drive, not sure if this is relevant, but I believe so. I went into iTunes and deleted the songs, and asked that they be deleted from the library as well. Got same message when I tried to re-import. Went on to the external hard drive, where library is located, and none of the songs had been deleted. Deleted the songs, as well as the albums folder, re-imported, no problems. Hope that helps.

I should know how much i'm syncing!!! anyone know how to help?
Maybe you do, but iTunes obviously has different ideas - you can see that for yourself. And since iTunes is making the decisions...
So - you need to work out which part of your Library has all this extra content that it's trying to Sync.
According to the graphic we can see, your iPod currently has 8.1GB of Music on it. If you look in your iTunes/Library/Music, at the bottom of the screen it shows how much music is in your Library. Is it the same?
Have you by any chance, added another sub-folder into the photos folder that you're using to Sync with your iPod?
If neither of those things, what about the books?
If not - perhaps there is a clue in the number of Apps that appear to have outstanding updates. I can't think why that should be the cause of the problem, but 152 Apps requiring an update does seem rather a lot. Perhaps that's upsetting the applecart.

The target file cannot be created

I'm trying to output an Adobe Bridge Lightroom Flash gallery.
I keep getting the following error message ad nauseum.
The target file cannot be created.
There are two possible reasons:
1. Disk space is innsufficient.
2. The target file path is too long.
I've never had this happen before.
I've worked on this file for two weeks, and NEED IT OUTPUTED. It's for a major newspaper regarding HDR photos of Japan's 3.11.11 disaster.
I cleared out the cache. So it can't be anything like that.
It's the latest version of Bridge.
I'm on a new iMac with 2g storage, and 16g memory. Mac Lion. Blah, blah, blah.
Is there a lame built in limitation on how many photos can be used? I'm using 300 photos. I've had no issues outputting 200 before.
Setting for view sizes are 800, 800, 75, 100.
Look, if you DON'T know specifically, don't chime in. I've tried some poor advice which has resulted in having to reorder 300 files, which wasnt fun.
This is a seriously and timely issue, as the deadline approaches, and I need to get this pathetic problem resolved.
PS, Adobe Bridge SUCKS!

I've had the exact same issue here as well. Phone support is does not work with this product and I've been in Chat "Hold" for 3 hours now. I've replaced the output module, checked and verified all permissions, cleared all preferences, with no avail.
I have not had any issue with uploading galleries for the past year, and now, all of a sudden, issues.
iMac 27", Yosemite, 16GB Mem, 800 GB space, no permissions issues as I've also tried to just save the gallery to my desktop and upload via ftp client, but Bridge says location does not exist, which, ha, it does, because its on the hard drive....

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.
Regards,
Rob Harris

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

Do this then it will work fine.

Partial page load problem when using Muse in an existing non-Muse Masterpage; how to issue a jquery

Partial page load problem when using Muse in an existing non-Muse Masterpage; how to issue a jquery args.get_isPartialLoad().
My page is loaded into a palcehold within the Ajax update panel within the current Masterpage, so page loadload doesn't occur. But if my Muse page can capture the partial pageload then I can tell jquery to run the Muse formating routine.

Jackie, I am having the same issue and agree that it obscures our site analytics.
I only have the "WebMarketing" subscription - so I cannot see how often people visit my site (unless I just dont know how to view that). Here is a screen shot of how many different locations I have and how much it affects my site visitor count based on the other locations which seem "legit" because they have more page views than visits.
I hope there is a way to fix or block this.

AppleRAID enable: The target disk must be an existing volume, not a whole disk

I have a Samsung 750 which failed to spin up a time or two the past year. Scrounging I found a Seagate 750. Seeing as how I have plenty of drive bays I think the right thing to do is bind the Samsung and Seagate into a mirrored RAID. This volume is used for Time Machine.
Did similar to my Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server when it was new without wiping the original filesystem. But can't get there from here today following similar instructions.
The Samsung is disk2, Seagate is disk1. In Terminal.app I start with:
% diskutil appleRAID enable mirror /dev/disk2
The target disk must be an existing volume, not a whole disk
Blah. Perhaps this helps? Is essentially the same as the 320GB system drive as formatted by Apple:

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

Importing CD's to iTunes fail with "The required folder cannot be found"

I have my iTunes library on an external drive. Everything works fine, except that I cannot import CD's into iTunes. When I try, I get the error "The required folder cannot be found". My work around currently is to:
1. Upfdate my preference for "iTunes Media Folder Location" to the standard location by clicking on the "Reset" button.
2. Import the CD
3. Copy the folder that it created with the songs to the correct location on the external disk
4. Update the preference or Folder Location back to my external library location
5. Double click on the first song where I get the message that it cannot be located
6. Locate it manually, and iTunes then searches for the others and fix the location.
This is extremely frustrating and impractical. I am on the very latest release and it is still happening. Does anyone know how to get around it?

I have the same problem as pyzaptys' with the exception that there is no My Music folder in the default location. I created one but the iTunes install cannot see it. I used the tweakui as suggested in the response to the original post but the app does not see the My Music folder in the special folders selections.
I have tried many angles but to no avail.
To pyzaptys: try these out:

Error importing CD (required folder cannot be found)

iTunes 10.6, running on a Mac Mini with OSX 10.6.8
Hi all,
A bit of backstory. Been using iTunes to manage my music collection for over 8 years. At one point, I moved my music off of a primary disk to an external disk, although perhaps oddly set up, in that the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file was still local (under ~User/Music), and just the music files were external (under /Volumes/Media/Music). When the iTunes Media directory structure upgrade happened, the only way I could access my music was to put a soft link from the Music folder to my external drive.
For awhile now, I've been in a state where for the most part, I can listen to all of my music, but when I try to import a CD, I get the 'required folder cannot be found' error.
Help! Do I have to rebuild my file somehow? Edit the xml file directly?
Thanks so much.
I'm happy to provide more information, such as the xml file, directory listings, etc.. I'm just not sure what's helpful.

I have the same problem. I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'. I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in. I have seen no fix for this problem.

'Contacts' folder with sub folder cannot be removed after synching via iTunes

'Contacts' folder with sub folder cannot be removed after synching via iTunes
I am trying to remove a 'Contacts' subfolder
ie Contacts < default folder
- Contacts Mysubfolder 1 < Trying to remove this subfolder folder
via my microsoft outlook onto my iPhone.
Despite not having 'Contacts Mysubfolder 1' on my PC's outlook after deleting it, it does not delete the subfolder in my iPhone.
I even restored my iPhone settings to the original via iTunes.
I also replaced my physical iPhone but still synching with my original Apple ID + iTunes on the same desktop.
All I did was after replacement of my iP, i setup my microsoft Exchange account, and there it was, the Contacts subfolder which is no longer around, appears on my iPhone contacts folder list.
My outlook is on Microsoft exchange and I am on iP 3Gs
Please help
Thank you

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network? I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station. I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

Dreamweaver newest - Cloud
Windows 7 Prof 64b SP1
Everyday now upon firing up Dreamweaver I am getting the same error. As long as I worked on this certain site last the day before, dreamweaver of course tries to load that site upon the next startup.
The error: The local root folder, ZZZZZZ, does not exist. Please choose a new local root folder
I have typed the path myself and browsed to it many times. When I go into the Site manager/edit site to correct this, it already has the correct path listed there. If I just leave what is there and hit save, it doesn't work. Once re entering is done it allows me to work on the site again. Connecting to remote/upload files and everything works fine. I can close DW and reopen and all will be fine, for a while.    If I close it and maybe two hours later come back to work on it, DW will report that same error again on startup.
Other editors of the site with same cloud version of DW and same site settings are not having this error. We've combed for differences.
I've deleted the site definition altogether and recreated it. It does not stop the error.
I found some old references to this issue in the old macromedia forums dealing with Mac and spaces or odd characters being an issue in the local folder path. I'm on windows, but the complaints sounded so similar I decided to try a test suggested there. Their suggestion was to create a new blank html file, without saving, add some text, select the text, use the link icon in the properties manager to drag a link out to any file in the files panel. Upon doing so, DW creates a full local path that you can see in your html since you haven't saved the file yet. The suggestors of this test said you should see if your "mac" and DW was having trouble with spaces or odd characters in the path.   Well the following path shows a PIPE character being created in the path by DW on my test page.
file:///W|/private/09 Websites/zzzzzz/index.html
Could this be showing there is some kind of issue that I need to correct? Or is this typical? See the pipe character being listed after the network drive letter of W
Our local root folder path:
W:\private\09 Websites\zzzzzz\
Server Settings:
     Root Directory:
public_html/zzzzzz.com/
     Web URL:
HypertextTransferProtocolCOLON//worldwideweb.zzzzzz.commercial/
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Is this how your remote setting is defined? If it is, do you have a folder called zzzzz.com on your remote server trailing public_html? Ideally public_html is your website root - index.html resides within that, unless your configuration states otherwise.
To come to your actual question of the local root folder, yes, your file manager wont show files if the connection fails. However, accessing it depends on the permissions you have on your network drive. Have you checked that?
I'm not sure why our guy has another folder underneath public_html. My guess is he has some company related hosted test folders for various things under there. I can see a couple other folders under public_html while checking with filezilla. I suppose he just directed our domain to our web folder under public_html.
Again, two others here are using these exact same settings with no root folder errors from DW. We've checked many times and all is the same for them.
Here are some screen grabs of the settings if this makes it more clear.
This last one showing the remote connection address under the files/assets panel is the one that looks strange to me. It shows a home folder / then a folder with our site name / then public_html / then our sitename.com .    Seems convoluted to me. But it works for everyone else so I'm not sure if this error I'm getting has anything to do with these settings or if there is just some old DW settings file hung up in my system that I need to find and delete or what.
Thanks for any ideas.

We can do as follows:

2. Check whether current user has permission to access the page.
3. Use SPServices to get web part properties.

I have also tried to repair ITunes having read another post - but it doesnt do anything - just comes up with an error message.
I am scared to download a new version incase I lose all my songs etc.
Any help would be appreciated

Your music is stored on the computer in a folder independent of iTunes. The best place to start would be to update iTunes.
