Uninstalled Garageband, some ESX files now missing in Logic 8?

Hi,
Am running Logic 8 and have a Mac Book Pro running OSX 10.4.11.
A few days back I was tired of having only approx 2GB left on my 92GB desktop drive and so I checked out space-intensive apps and started deleting those I never use. Garageband was one of them.
On opening Logic, I see that loads of my .esx samples are missing, presumably as a result of my Garageband deletion.
How do I get these back?? Can I simply drag and drop from the original Logic installation CD or would I have to
a) Uninstall Logic and reinstall, or
b) Install from the Logic CD on top of the existing Logic on my system (i.e. without uninstalling first)?
Obviously any reinstall would take care of this issue, but am concerned that all my saved presets within Logic that I've built up over the years will all be overwritten into oblivion, so want to avoid this
Thanks tons for any help....!

Hi Art Of Sound,
Thanks so much for your post.
Sounds like a plan - reinstalling GB. IS this a simple process from the original installation ROMs - in other words, is it simple to 'skip' CDs to get to the garageband installation, or would I have to go through a ton of other app installations that are also on the relevant CD Rom?
Thanks again,
Adrian

ITunes can not run because some required files are missing.

I got a message that said something like "iTunes can not run because some required files are missing. reinstall itunes." I tried to reinstall iTunes but I kept getting that message. So, i uninstalled it, and tried to install it again. this did not work. I think that Quicktime is actually what is broken, because iTunes installs fine, but the Quicktime installation failed. When the installation failed, i got a message that said, "Installation failed: error code: -3"
I then tried installing Quicktime with the standalone installer. The installation got further, but it then failed as well, giving the error code -1603.
What can I do to get this reinstalled, and if you can't answer that, how can I contact Apple from Iraq? Thank you.

hmmm...that happened to me at one point to, and I'm trying to think back, I believe I was able to uninstall it by using the standalone installer.....
Try these steps and see if anything helps, and then in the troubleshooting section, look up the specific error number you are receiving...

Does iTunes still play the tracks that haven't been consolidated or do they now have broken links? If the links are broken are the tracks still, in fact, in their original locations?

Can't create a recovery drive: "Some required files are missing"

Hi guys,
Didn't have much luck in MS forums, maybe somebody here knows?
Whenever I try to create a recovery drive I find that "We can't create a recovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing. To troubleshoot problems when your PC can't start, use your Windows installation disc or media."
Uh?
Is a fresh Windows 8 x64 (RTM) installation. Only thing that I can think of is it has UEFI and Secure Boot enabled.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Hey there dann,
What version of Windows 8 are you using? It appears you may need to the Window 8 disc to be able to create the recovery drive because it needs files that are not on your system. I found those part numbers for the Windows 8 recovery media for you.
04T7196 - Win 8 64 Bit US
04T7223 - Win 8 Pro 64 Bit US
Additional part numbers can be found here for all system parts and recovery media for you the Twist (s230u). If you contact service back they should be able to get the media sent to you. Good Luck.

Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application. It shouldn't affect your media. You do have backups, right?

Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing...vista 64 bit OS

I'm running on a Vista 64 bit HP computer, and I have been trying to download itunes for the past couple days and all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes...I have no idea what to do...i have looked around the forums for information and I guess I'm not the only one having issues using a 64 bit OS. Btw the 64 bit Itunes won't work either. It does the same exact thing...

all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes
I'd like to check for malware with that message, Nico. (With modern versions of iTunes, if files really were missing, iTunes would be much more likely to do a repair install of itself when you wen't to launch it, rather than returning the old-fashioned files-are-missing message.
Download and install the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on My Lenovo.)

Some required files are missing - Windows XP SP3

Hi,
I've got a big problem with the itunes software (latest version) on my girlfriends notebook.
Everytime I want to start itunes I get the message "some required files are missing - please reinstall"
I've reinstalled the software nearly 6-8 times but it still doesn't work.
I've tried older Versions up to itunes 9 but the problem still exists.
Maybe the Communitie can help me.
We need to make an backup of her iphone because I think it will not loger work very well.
So thanks for your help!!!

Hi Guggi2k,
If you are still having issues after a reinstall, you may want to make sure that you are completely removing all the iTunes files before reinstalling. You may find the following article helpful:

If you back up your files with TimeMachine, you can restore them very easily, though.

Some MP3 files are missing!!!

hi
each time i transfer my MP3s to my ipod some of them are missed and they can't even be added by itunes in the library
directory
someone help me plz! >_<

The problem with the screen may be that you had a dead pixel in your screen. If your under warranty you should try and exchange it. That is if it bothers you.
About the files not transferring. Have you searched for the song(s) in question through the "Songs" search or are you looking through the "Artists" search on your iPod? I ask because if you search through "Artists" for a song under a certain artist and the song isn't there then it may be that you have not filled out the songs info completely. If you search through Songs you should be able to find it if it doesn't have the album title listed on the song. Hope this helps.

I uninstalled Photoshop CS4 and now my Photoshop CS6 says that some Support files are missing

It tells me to re-install the CS6 programme. Surely vital files should not have been removed when using the uninstaller of an older version? If I have to re-install CS6, do I first have to uninstall it too?

Thanks very much for your help! I also have CS5 on my computer (I want to keep it as I have the Picture Package plugin which does not run on CS6 - the many requests for it appear to have fallen on deaf ears). If I use the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool after uninstalling CS6, will it remove CS5 as well? If so, this nonsense is quickly becoming a nightmare! Incidentally, I'm now getting the same warning about missing files when I open CS5. I wonder if I should simply re-install CS4!
Actually, despite the warning notices, CS6 still appears to be working. I haven't fully tested it but the basic functions are working normally, so I'm not sure what the missing files are designed to do.
I tried to get help via Online Chat but all that the non-technical operator could offer was a phone number which I'm not prepared to use, from New Zealand. They surely should have technicians able to address these sort of questions using the Chat system, especially as they do not have an email contact method! And why don't they?!
Do Adobe employees ever visit these forums?

Why are some of my files now missing when moving from pc to mac when using an external drive

I use an external drive for all my files. I moved to a Mac Mini last week. Now I can not view a majority of my backed up files on My Book external drive.
Any ideas???? Thanks in advance,

See Make a split library portable. A portable library can be stored entirely on an external drive and moved between Mac and Windows computers. iTunes takes a little longer to open the library the first time after each switch. If your drive is currently formatted to NTFS then you will need an additional driver to enable OS X to write to the drive, or simply clone the library to an HFS+ drive.

Some sequence presets now missing. Help?

I recently had to reinstall Premiere CS4, afterwhich I updated the software to 4.2.1. When I go to make a new sequence, the presets for HDV and the two XDCAM presets are missing. The folders for these sequence presets are still on my hard drive in the"SequencePresets" folder, but Premiere is not seeing them. Is there some sort of "scan for new presets" function? What can I do to get Premiere to see all the sequence presets?

It sounds like your full-paid version has reverted to the trial. Do you have ANY MPEG capabilities? This has happened to several users, and so far, no one has been able to tell why.
If this has happened, you will want to undertake these steps and in this order:
1.) De-Activate your PrPro - probably will be grayed out, but check.
2.) Uninstall PrPro
3.) Run Adobe Clean Script (now up to CS5) several times, rebooting between each. Probably a good idea to run a Registry cleaner, like CCleaner.
4.) Reinstall PrPro
5.) Update to CS4.2, before doing ANY editing
Good luck,

Deleted some (root) files & now finder won't start...now stuck in Classic 9

I have an eMAc 10.2.8 and was re-installing the system X and classic 9.2 software with all security updates etc, when I accidentally wiped some of the quicktime (root) files and extensions.
When it rebooted, Finder would not load - I can see everything on the dock but there is no top menu bar and nothing on the screen. Although some of the software (safari, explorer etc) will open and the top menu shows the normal file, edit etc.
I tried using the MacOSX Install Disc (pressing C while restarting) to reinstall the missing quicktime files, but it simply logs in as normal and doesn't recognise the disk or show anything on the screen. The same thing happens with the eMac Restore Software discs (Mac OS X & Mac OS 9).
I then switched my startup volume via System to Classic 9.2 and restarted the computer. All looked good, but once it has finished loading, there is nothing on the screen but grey lines running vertically down and no dock or top menu bar and the disk eject doesn't work. And again, rebooting with the disks while holding C doesn't seem to work.
Help someone....I can't get back to OSX and I know that everything is still on the HD because I checked it using Disk Utility prior to switching operating systems.
I even tried Firmware (holding the on button for a few minutes) to reboot directly from the OSX disc, but am not entirely sure what to do. Have I completely stuffed it?

I don't know why but your Mac is ignoring the "C" key and insisting on trying to start from the normal, damaged X... One explanation might be any keyboard - including an Apple wireless keyboard - that needs drivers or utilities; then the keyboard wouldn't be read until after the "C" key was too late…
Please rememeber there will never by any Mac that can start in Classic mode. That might not matter when things are going smoothly and in trobules like this, the same confusion that led to that description might be helping to helix the system.
This is still clearly an X, not a Classic problem and you will still get better help more quickly in the X pages, here

I'm not sure what you expected to acomplish trying the eMac Firmware Update via the power button when there's no firmwar eupdate to install. You may have been thinking og resetting Open Firmware, but that's unlikely to help if the System and System Folders are corrupted. The procedures in Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or kernel panic when computer starts should help, especially the Archive and Install Feature. Note that you have to hold the 'c' key down until you see the grey background / Apple logo / spinning wheel, and this can take longer than you'd expect; alternately, with the OS X Install disc in the eMac, you can use Startup Manager to select the CD.

Need to re-burn a DVD, but some source files are missing. But Media Cache folder has them all.

hi all. I have PE3 and the issue is this: I needed a DVD of a project I'd completed a year ago, and I didn't have an old copy of the DVD. So I decided to re-burn it. But on opening the project, it seems some of the source files have been misplaced on my computer, so it says 'media offline'.
I figured I'd still be able to burn it though, because the Media Cache folder contained all the required files...
However it starts to burn the DVD and then stops at 49% saying transcoding error.
Q1: can you still burn a DVD if it says 'media offline' but you know all the source files are present in the Media Cache folder?
Q2: what's the transcoding error?
thx

The Media Cache folder contains files that are only of use to PE during internal editing and will NOT solve your lost video problem.
Once a Project is completed, that have no outside value.
The contents are CFA and PEK files, which is the Conformed Audio and Waveform Display, respectively (no video here to my knowledge).
And I'm not aware of any way to make them useful (outside of PE).
If you happen to have your Project and source video/audio files intact, and then delete the contents of the Media Cache folder, upon re-opening the Project, PE will regenerate the CFA and PEK files. Again this is only if you have the Project and all the source files (Assets)...
