TS3697 iTunes 10.6.3.25 cannot read certain TIF files

I was forced to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes because I bought a new iPod Touch 4g.  I also own an iPod Touch 2g, which did not require the latest version of iTunes to sync.
About half of my photos could not be synced in the latest version of iTunes, although the previous version had no trouble reading and syncing the same files to my old Touch.
I contacted Apple support, which not only did not help, but failed to call me back as promised after suggesting a procedure that would take at least 45 minutes to complete.
I wound up solving my own problem eventually.  What I discovered was that for unknown reasons, this version of iTunes could no longer read certain TIF files created in Paint Shop Pro.  The solution was to resave all the files using Photo Shop Elements.  I made no changes to the files and saved in the same format, but suddenly iTunes was able to read them and sync to my iPod Touch.  (As suggested elsewhere on these forums, I did have to remove the photo cache to get this to work.  However, just removing the photo cache did not work; I had to resave the files first.)
Beware, apparently a TIF is not necessarily a TIF!  I have no idea what the difference is between the Paint Shop Pro TIF and the Elements TIF.  Elements did not have any trouble reading them.  Maybe Apple could address this problem in an iTunes update?  It is very inconvenient to have to change my workflow to get my Touch to sync my photos.

  • UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

    UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before.  UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D  On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example 
    cannot read from source file or disk
    7z.dll
    Type application extension
    size 585kb
    date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
    other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
    Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-)  Thank you!
    I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
    Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
    I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba.  Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.  
    When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
    Windows failed to start.  A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
    To fix the problem
    Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
    Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
    Click ‘repair your computer’
    File: \boot\memtest.exe
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
    I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message.  I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy.  On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop.  I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

    the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
    My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
    Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

  • Recovery Disk Error : cannot read from source file or disk HOW TO FIX ISSUE

    I have had my satellite L655-S5096 for some time now.. I had to switch out hard-drives the other day and installed windows 7 home on it from my own disk.  I tried to download all the drivers needed, but the graphics and wifi drivers never worked, so I pulled out the old toshiba disks to start from new with this harddrive.. It gets to asking me for the second disc, then the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"  This is from the "out of the box" setting, which is recommended.  I do not know how to fix this issue besides reinstalling windows 7 from my disc and trying to get the drivers to work again.. however I shouldn't have to since I have the Toshiba recovery disks.. do I need new disks? 
    Yes, I also had the hard drive drivers and all of that installed.. my toshiba reads the HDD just fine.

  • Cannot Read Entire TXT Files in "Notes" folder

    Ihave a 4G iPod nano (red, if relevant... I think it's a 4g?) I cannot read entire text files in the notes folder. I can read part of the file, usually up to about a 2 KB size in standard Unicode format, but I am unable to view the entire text file. For example, I have a copy of Beowulf on my iPod that is about 267KB in size; however, I can only read through 1.87KB of it. The rest shows up in Windows Explorer and is fully functional there, but I Cannot view it from my iPod.
    Anyone else have this problem, and know what I can do to fix this (besides breaking it up into about 50 chapters?)
    Thanks Much!

    The max size for any note that can be read in the notes on ipod is 4kb. That said there is no alternative way of getting around this size. here is a good article about working with ipod notes.

    Do you have access to another Mac to see if the disk can be read by it?  If it can't then you're pretty sure it's the disk. If it can then there may be issues with your optical drive which might be cleared up by using a cleaning disk on it, one that uses dry brushes (no liquid).
    If you have access to another Mac and it can read the iWork disk make a disk image of it so you can move the disk image to your iMac and install from the disk image.

  • I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?

    I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.

    I don't know -- sorry.  I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters.  If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would.  Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
    I don't use RAW+JPEG.  Can someone who does offer some suggestions  .
    (Added:)
    And _always_ back up your files.  In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.

  • [warn] mod_bonjour: Cannot read template index file '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html'.

    Operating System: Lion 10.7.5
    I was getting this warn in the logs
    [warn] mod_bonjour: Cannot read template index file '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html'.
    and looking to the System directory on;
    System/Library/User Template
    User Template was locked and onwned by the System.
    I went to the terminal and type;
    sudo mkdir "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/"
    sudo touch "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html"
    re-started Apache
    The warn went away gracefully

    I am adding here that this seems to be a permissions bug since the "User Template" is owned by the system and no one else have access to it. The warn went away temporarily because the permissions still wrong in that directory. I changed the permissions on the User Template directory to read and see what is inside and it loops to the user system structure. Most of the directories in the system structure are locked leaving only the public and sites directory with the correct permissions. Inside of the sites folder have a blank index.html file with read access.
    So I am not sure if what I did until now will resolve the warn issue.
    What I did was to get info on the User Template directory, authenticate as root and change the permission to the admin to read only. That is harmles since not even the admin can change its content. The warn seems to have gone away for now. However, the point here is to find out if the permissions should be read and write for the admin instead of read only or some other conf. More latter!

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    You could also try reformat the Card with your camera

    I have Prem. Elements 12.  I am trying to add audio media.  I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not.  In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer.  This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files.  Some audio are accepted, most are not.  I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

  • My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs.  My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

    So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files.  I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way.  I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone.  So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs.  How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

    Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me.  I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive.  It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive.  BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
    I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
    I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.
