VOB files are missing footage that's on the DVD
Hi all,
I'm putting together a memorial film. The family gave me all their home movies that have been put on DVDs. I'm using MPEG streamclip to convert the VOB files to DV files that I can import and edit in iMovie (or FCP).
Here's my problem: The VOB files are missing footage that I can absolutely see when I play the DVD. I've tried exporting the files to AVI and .mov files but the result is the same.
Can someone help me figure out how to access that missing footage? It's very strange.
Thanks!
David--great idea--thank you! Unfortunately the result is the same. I am beginning to wonder if the DVD wasn't what's that called...finished? properly. There it all is on the TV but I have not figured out anything, despite great ideas and strategies that would give me a different result.
Thanks again!

Thanks!You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. -
Tried to delete an FM book, but won't delete; however files are missing
I'm using RH7 in TCS1 in Windows Explorer.
I imported FM book files by reference into my project. I had forgotten to check abook file prior to import and didn't notice that the book file did not have the necessary graphics. So I fixed the file, then tried to update the book file in RH7. The graphics did not import into RH, so I thought I would start over from scratch and delete the book file in RH. It will not delete and causes RH to crash. The delete option is available, but it doesn't delete them.
So I went into Windows Explorer and deleted the files from there. Then I get a message that says files are missing, and that I need to delete them from Project Manager which is what I was trying to do in the first place.
Can someone please help me delete these files?Just an update to this posting. I did not have the latest RoboHelp patches installed. For some reason, RH wouldn't let me install
them. So I had to have a complete uninstall of RH, then reinstall it. Once I did
that I installed all of the patches and my book files were deleted.

ITunes could not be installed because some of the files are missing, please
I just bought an Iphone and when I went to install the latest version of itunes i get the message "iTunes could not be installed because some of the files are missing, please reistall iTunes" during the installation. I have tried every recommended solution I could find on the apple website. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem??
A number of people seem to have had this problem, see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1221432&tstart=0
In the thread you will find a post from Royb of Apple inviting people to send in installer logs. It might be an idea to take advantage of that. -
IMovie 10 says my files are missing.
I stopped the share task by closing iMovie 10.0.1 (there was no indication of on-going tasks). Now, iMovie says my files are missing and mentions reconnecting to the drive "null". ?? I'm afraid I just lost 2 hours of work.
I tried restarting everything. I ran disk verify, it's OK.
I have had much trouble since "upgrading" this application.Hi
I stopped the share task by closing iMovie 10.0.1
or Panic Halt or Forced STOP down
are ways to "knock away the feet" under iMovie - and all unpleasant things can occur e.g. connections lost to material in process.
_ Can there be more than one hard disk (Memory) on Your Computer as external Hard Disks, USB-memory CDs or DVDs - that can hold material You used in Your Movie project ?
_ are it/they connected and working OK too ?
Have You tried
_ Trash iMovie pref. and cashe files - often helps after a sudden stop (power loss etc)
_ Repair Permissions
_ Full Shut down (Mains power disconnected) - and let it be so for 30 minutes or more - at least some ports get re-set and may be more
_ keep it up and running (by it self) from late night (23:00 hour) to about early early morning (03:00) - then some time a repair program kicks in in at least some Mac OS versions.
(This can be fouled by wrong-set the Clock to say 12 hours before - and Mac is fouled that it's night)
For more elaborative rescue scheme - others must come in and help - AS I NEVER touch or alter any of the iMovie folders named
_ iMovie Event's - or -
_ iMovie Project's
as this is a High Risk action and all can easily be lost.
But there are Genius here that Know - howto try to Copy and rescue material from them in this forum.

I'm getting a message that says itunes cannot run b/c some required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. I'm scared to because I don't want to lose my music.
Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application. It shouldn't affect your media. You do have backups, right?

I had to replace the hard drive on my computer. I am now trying to download Adobe Photoshop CS6, previously purchased. I get an error that files are missing after waiting for the whole download. I have Windows7

Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?
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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Exlamation point on 7 tracks from an entire album, all the others are fine. It won't play on the laptop, I get an error message that the original files are missing. But they play fine on the iPod.
Try deleting those missing tracks from your computer's iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer and do File > Transfer Purchases - that should copy them back from the iPod

I have 2nd gen. Ipod shuffle I restored it and now when i am trying to sync it, it is showing that some files are missing and it is not getting sync what should i do???
Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems. -
FAQ: My files are missing from the Library, or How to reconnect your images?
What is the Lightroom Library?
The Library module of Lightroom can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Library, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is a Lightroom catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Lightroom. When importing a file, the first thing Lightroom does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and your catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Lightroom say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Lightroom, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Library module, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Locate missing photos
Dude! Where are my photos?Similar happened to me when i moved my iTunes library from XP to Win 8.1. Apps were in iTunes but would not sync to iPhone - could not find oritinal file. Win Xp and 8.1 have different file paths for My Documents and My Music. Locate the folder within iTunes called Mobile Applications. It should have a file with an IPA extension for each application. Add that folder to library. That will refresh the iTunes database so that it knows where to find the apps. I had to do that to my entire library (music, podcasts, etc)

Recently I received an iPad2 as a gift. I had iTunes because an iPod I had. First I put some productivity apps through my computer. Then I bought some other games apps through WiFi. then when I try to synchronize, I lost my productivity apps and just keep those buy on WiFi. Now I try to install iTunes again, and what I received at the end is a message that tells me "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
I did it a couple of times. Same result. One of this times, I also retired those programs recommended on help page: iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile, etc. (in the order indicated)
Your help will be appreciated.same issues here... Using windows 7... I can't install none of the 3 soft. No Safari... No Quicktime... No Itunes... Running 32 bit windows... Error messages "Error 7" and some other error messages durint install... Any help will be appreciated... Thanks

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.
