The volume for songs seems to vary

Even though I have sound check checked in my iTunes preferences, songs really vary in volume when playing my iPod. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Eegee
I would turn on Sound Check to level out the songs. You do this by going to iTunes Preferences > Playback Tab > Check Sound Check.

How do I even out the volume for songs in my playlist?

How do I even out the volume for songs in my playlist? Can I tell somewhere what the volume level is for each song and then change it so all the songs are the same, then re-synch?

"The volume for DSC_0001.jpg cannot be found"?

I'm a bit of a novice with macs but a new problem has occurred while importing photos from my Nikon D70s to iphoto. With the majority of images, it comes up with the caution "The volume for DSC_0001.jpg cannot be found" or whichever DSC image. If I press 'cancel' it imports the photo and I can view and edit it. If I press 'OK' or 'find photo' nothing useful seems to happen.
I have tried updating iphoto but I again get an alert saying "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications."
Any help with both these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

THE VOLUME FOR "MOVIES" CAN NOT BE FOUND

Not sure if I posted this in the right place. I would appreciate anyone that can help.
I installed iLife 08 yesterday and everything seemed to go fine.
When I go to open my MOVIES folder I keep getting a : "THE VOLUME FOR "MOVIES" CAN NOT BE FOUND" message?
What happened??
More importantly....
On the left hand of my Finder window where it lists DEVICES, PLACES, and SEARCH FOR.... if I click on SEARCH FOR and go to ALL MOVIES....
I was relieved to find all of my movie files still in there.
BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
I was watching some of the movies... and I noticed as soon as I clicked off and started viewing a new movie... the previous movie would disappear from the ALL MOVIES FOLDER... and the number tally would decrease.
I finally realized after 10 movies that files were disappearing... or perhaps being deleted.
I used FIND to try to locate the lost files but no such luck. I can't find them anywhere.
It also appears to be only my WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER FILES that are disappearing.
What happened to my MOVIES folder? and where are these lost files going? Are they being deleted? UGH UGH UGH!
If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate. I'm very frazzled.

Can the volume for downloaded music tracks be synced and how

can the volume for downloaded music tracks from itunes be synced and how if so

Hard to know what the cause is because it's like this
I know what I did to cause this. I upgraded my one of my hard drives, renamed the drive and moved the folder. The missing pictures it can't find were added with the option in the advance menu "copy photo to library" turned off.
and this
What I did is added a small SSD as my primary drive. Put the OS and all the apps on it. Moved my iPhoto and iTunes libraries to an large external. Most of the picture it is not having a problem wth. Only certain ones. Don't actually think I unchecked tha prefeence, but it's acting like i have.
seem to be written by two different people.

How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

Every time I move the volume, it moves back!
Check, if you have a volume automation set on the software instrument track.
If the track volume automation curve is enabled, the volume slider for the track will move with the automation curve.
Click the automation curves disclosure triangle in the track header and disable the volume automation.

Reoccuring message "the Volume for P____ 2Jpg cannot be found? Wherer is it?

Two problems, my photo's keep duplicating automatically and when I try to view them in a full screen an error message keep stating, "The volume for P10105684..etc 2 jpg cannot be found. Where is it? Thanks

How are they duplicating? Under what circumstances? Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.

The volume for "IMG_2333.JPG" cannot be found.

I imported a lot of photos from different CDs (all from different digital cameras) into iPhoto 09. When I try to place them into the softcover book template, I get recurring error messages that say 'The volume for “IMG_2333.JPG” (or whatever the image is called) cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.' is there a solution rather than constantly reinserting the CDs?

Darwinboy wrote:
Under Preferences, the Importing 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library' is unchecked.
That's the problem. When it is UN-checked, the iPhoto simply stores the location where the photo came from and accesses it from there. In your specific case, it wants to access them directly off the CDs.
Delete them from your library, turn that check box ON, then reimport those CDs to your library.

The volume for "*.jpg" cannot be found. External harddrive.

I have recently purchased a MacBook Air and have moved my iPhoto library to an external harddrive. Recently, my all of my older photos and videos when clicked on come with the error "The volume for "*.jpg" cannot be found." However, my new imported photos do not have this problem. When I click "Find Photo" and select that photo on my harddrive, it still gives me the same error.
I have many photo albums and would rather not import them all again just to re-organize them. Do I have any other alternatives?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

The volume for "Downloads" can not be found

i keep getting this message when i click downloads in the finder sidebar menu. if i want to see something i downloaded i have to actually find the folder and that takes too long. Is there anyway i can stop this message from coming up (The volume for "Downloads" can not be found) when i click on it from the sidebar?

That's a very good question. I have a hunch that it might be the plist file com.apple.sidebarlists.plist which you will find in <home>/Library/Preferences.
The only thing is that I do not know if you can simply move that file to the desktop, close the current Finder window, then open a new Finder window and add the items you need back into the sidebar. Because Finder is running all the time, I would be very wary of doing that just in case it causes drama . Perhaps one of the other Guru users might have a comment on that.
Alternatively search the discussions for possible clues along those lines.

I am locked up in slideshows, a prompt comes up "the volume for (a picture) cannot be found, how do I get out of slideshow,

I am locked up in slideshows in IPhoto, a message comes up "the volume for "some picture" cannot be found, Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the destop, then try again." you can hit find photo, cancel (which it will not let you) or OK which does nothing, I want to delete this slideshow, or at the very least get out of slideshows, how can I do that?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you try to view the the photos in the slideshow in full size?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Ver.9.5 The volume for file name cannot be found

HI,
My work Mac Book pro was recently upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8, with iPhoto 11 (ver. 9.5) also an included upgrade. One album of photos is no longer accesible - clicking on each thumbnail provokes the following window "The volume for <file name> cannot be found. The "Try again" option doesn't work, and the alternative, which is to use the finder to locate the file is useless, as the files are buried in a library spare bundle. When I copy the file name, and search on the volume with the library via finder, it pulls up tiny thumbnail size files.
I have a primary iphoto library on a dedicated USB external drive, which I back up not everytime I update the library (200 gbs spare bundle over USB2!), but regularly. I fear these recently imported files, have not been backed up before up erasing cards, and upgrading system OS, have gone.
Is there any way of getting into the library via finder, or elsewhere in iphoto to refind the original master files which are in there somewhere? These files opened perfectly in iphoto before the recent upgrade.

Thanks for the fast response. I've followed your directions and can't find the file in there, in Masters, Originals, or Modified folders. I found files in Thumbnails folder though. Some of the files from the same event are fine, so its not consistent. I'm also noticing that another file in the event has a totally blurred preview (Its a 24mbs Jpg from a Nikon D800) - not sure if this is at all connected.
The positive news is that my NeoFinder database of drives indicates I should have the 'missing' files on another computer in the office, but I'm still scratching my head on this.

Error message "The Volume for "IMG_5727.JPG Cannot be found.

Help!
I have been recieving the error:
"The Volume for "IMG_5727.JPG Cannot be found.
Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and
wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again."
It has been happening for months but I am editing/moving
wedding pictures(900 plus) right now and it is impossible to work around this. They are new images that were just down loaded from the card reader.
I can see the pictures right in the library
Help!
Kathy

You say you are "editing/moving" pictures from a wedding.
Depending on what you mean by that, it could be creating the problem you're having.
Are you physically "moving" your pictures within the finder, or do you just mean dragging and dropping within iPhoto?
Usually, the way iPhoto works is you upload them into iPhoto from a card or some sort of volume.
A new file is created in the iPhoto library.
That file never leaves the library as it is now the actual link to iPhoto.
However, if you physically move that file from the library, you will break the link and have lots of problems.
You can't move files from the iPhoto library.
However, if you're not physically moving photos from the library (manually, via the finder), and if you are uploading into iPhoto, and iPhoto shows you a thumbnail and when you click on it, it gives you that message, then there might be something wrong with the volume iPhoto thinks it's uploading pictures to from your card/source volume.
I would reestablish a new volume to save to and see if it's still having the same problems. Make sure you backup the original library though.

" the volume for (file name) cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again."

I get an error message in iPhoto when I click on thumbnails of pictures in certain albums. It reads 'the volume for "(file name)" cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.' What does this mean and how do I fix it?

It means that you imported the files in Referenced mode and have now remvoed them from the Mac. Put the disk or card back.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
