This file could not be copied (-43) - Importing movie files

Please, This is the first time I'm trying to use the iMovie in my new MacBook Pro.
I'm receiving this message when I try to import ANY kind of video (.avi, .mov etc.):
"This file could not be copied/moved (-43)"

It seems I don't have any plugin installed at ˜/Library/iMovie.. so, please, I'll be waiting for your help.
Thanks,
Eduardo

    tworules,
    You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running.  As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
    However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine.  As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

  • I'm getting exclaimation points on all my songs "This song could not be use because the original file could not be found."?

    I'm etting an exclaimation after every song on my music library"this song could not be used because the original file could not be found"?

    If all these songs with exclamation are within the same folder, you can do a one time fix:
    Double click a song with ! mark on side, you will be given an option to locate the file where the song is held. Select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it.
    iTunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one.

  • Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.

  • Itunes error "This song could not be used because the original file could not be located"

    i keep getting the error that the _____________song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to loacte? " when i try to locate it does not find the song anywhere on the computer. Please advise

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Cannot save webpage (.html file) because get error sayting that a " .js" file could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Any ideas where my problem is? Thx.

    Every time I attempt to save a webpage (.html format) I get a message indicating that some .js-type file was not saved because the source file could not be read.
    I did some "cleanup" of add-ons because there were so many. Is it possible I deactivated one that I need to read .js files, or could/would it be something else?
    Thanks.

    Please help.

  • HT204382 a .flv document could not be opened. The movies file format isn't recognised. Is there additional software available that will enable quicktime to open the movie

    I wanted to view a document with a .flv extention (0.1. Launchpad.flv) on my mac book pro. The following message came up
    The document "o.1. Launchpad.flv " could not be opened.
    The movie's file format could not be recognised
    Is there some  additional software is available that will enable quicktime to open the movie?

    I'd get VLC & try that, although Perian may still work to play within quicktime, but it's no longer being developed.

  • What does this message mean: This song could not be used because the original file could not be found--When I try to play songs there is an "!" next to it.

    A friend recenlty replaced my hard drive.
    When I try to use itunes--I receive this message: "The song could not be used because the original could not be found, would you like to locate it? Next to my songs I see this: "!" Help--Please!!

    Well what happened is the pathname to the song has changed slightly.
    For instance if the song was located say c\:Windows\User\Mary\Music\iTunesFolder
    and now it's c:\Windows\User\MaryXray\Music\iTunesFolder
    I'm assuming here your music was replaced in the Music folder like on the old hard drive, that iTunesFolder was simply copied over in whole.
    So to fix things, you go into the iTunes Folder in your Music Folder and look for a iTunes Music Library .XML file and open it in a Text Program that has "find and replace" ability.
    You find the partial pathname of the old drive and you replace ALL instances of it with the new pathname.
    so \Windows\User\Mary  would be changed to
    \Windows\User\MaryXray
    Save the file and reopen iTunes.

  • "This file could not be copied" when consolidating media?

    I'm trying to consolidate the media in a project. One of the songs I'm using in my project gives me this error message. I can't figure out how to solve it for the life of me... Help?

    Bump. Help please? I would really like to be able to move this song out of the folder it is in.

  • I'm getting an error message saying "file could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" What gives?

    I've updated iTunes as recommended (and when recommended) but made no other changes to my computer or files. Why are the files gone?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • TS1389 I have done all the above but I still can't get Quicktime to play a HD movie I purchased on itunes.  I get error message "This computer could not be authorized to play [movie title]"

    I have looked extensively online but can't find an answer yet.
    I also tried playing the HD movie in VCL Media Player.  I select the movie in finder, right-click to Open With VCL. Window opens with Library menu on left and first item in the menu is Playlist.  HD movie is listed in the playlist.  I select Play and counter at bottom of window starts counting as if movie is playing but nothing else happens.
    Help greatly appreciated.

    Tried some more movies in my library and it seems that all movies purchased in the iTunes Stores UK with my iTunes UK account wont play in Quicktime (or VCL media player).  These movies will play in itunes.
    This is cleary a DRM issue but don't I have the same legal rights to play my movies regardless of which iTunes store I  purchased from?
