Why does iTunes create disk errors when deleting movie files?

I use a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5. When I delete movie file from my iTunes library I get disk errors. I need to option boot select the recovery disk and repair the disk. Deleting a movie file I have placed on my desktop with finder does not create any errors. Most of the movie files are created as .m4v movies. They all play just fine with my Apple TV. I have tried turning off the Apple TV and rebooting before I delee files but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.

Why does iTunes say "temporarily unavailable" when I try download my "available downloads"?

Why does ID create a CSS when option is not selected in export to ePub?

I am using InDesign 6 to create ePub books. I want to use my own CSS so in the Export to ePub options I am leaving the setting "Include Style definitions" unchecked. I then list my CSS under additional CSS. When I create the ePub and then examine the files included I see that there are 2 CSSs, mine and one created by InDesign. Why does InDesign create a CSS when the "Inlcude Sytle definitions" is left unchecked?

Because that is the way that CS6 exported EPUB.
EPUB is a fast moving target and has moved way beyond what CS6 can export. With each update from InDesign CS6 to InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014, and even to the latest update to CC in October, there have been major changes to how InDesign exports EPUB. It no longer does it that way, and you have much more control over the process in InDesign CC.
Because InDesign CS6 is never going to change, it's best to work at modifying what they do export, unless you want to upgrade to InDesign CC.

Does iTunes create a copy when importing content?

I was wondering if iTunes creates copies of the movies I import. If it does, should I delete the content I used from my hard drive

Hello Jaime_Perez86,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
By default iTunes will make a copy of what you are importing and add that to the library.
You can see where the file is being stored that iTunes is playing back like this:
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in the Finder: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Show in Finder.
From: iTunes Help Menu
https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.1/help/index.html?localePath=en.lproj#itns2 999
If you notice that your iTunes media files are not all in the iTunes media folder, you can consolidate the meda into the iTunes folder to make backing up your library easier.
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

Why does my imovie say error when I try to update it?

I just bought a macbook pro, and I clicked update on the apps. The imovie app says error when I try to update it. What do I need to do to fix this?

Please post the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.

What is causing a disk error when saving psd files or writing to cache?

The problem only happens when running Photoshop CC (2104) and Bridge (actually these are the only two programs I really use my external drive for) during a save or write operation to an external hard drive. I can work for hours, with multiple files open, saving, creating, etc. without a problem and then suddenly I'll get a message from Photoshop saying, "Could not save .... because of a disk error." or from Bridge saying, ".. unable to write to cache..".
When I quit and try to troubleshoot the problem, I find that, for some reason, Mavericks has put system files on my external (non boot) drive or, for whatever reason, thinks there is a system file on it. Consequently, the drive cannot be ejected (Error message: "... one or more programs may be using it...") and I cannot repair it using Disk Utility (Error message: " ... live file system repair is not supported"). I also cannot write to it (Error message: "... unexpected disk error has occurred (error code: -50)"). The problem persists even after quitting all other programs, which wouldn't surprise me if Mavericks thinks there is a system file on it.
I have force ejected the drive a couple of times but became concerned that I might be compounding the problem. Now I just restart my computer and run Disk Utility Repair Disk. (Don't know which is worse.) Disk Utility either doesn't find a problem or, if it finds one, it repairs it. After that, Photoshop and Bridge work fine for a while.
System information:
MacBook Pro 13" 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM, 500 GB HD (recently upgraded)
Apple Cinema Display
Mavericks (up to date)
G-Technology G-Drive (Gen 5) 2TB HD connected via Firewire 800 (latest firmware)
Unconfirmed observation: I believe the first few times this problem occurred, Firefox was up an running. I made a point of quitting all programs except System Monitor when running Photoshop and Bridge and I can't remember having the problem again. The the last time the issue occurred, today, however, Safari was up and running.
Is this an OS problem, a hardware (disk drive, cable, etc.) problem, a software problem (PS, Bridge) or some combination? I have put this much detail in the post hoping someone can share some insight into the cause. I will be sending this report to Apple and G-Technology and I will report any resolution, if and, hopefully when, I find one.

The only thing that will cause a disk error is an actual error from the disk.
Photoshop is just telling you what that OS told it about the error.
It sounds like you need to boot off another disk and try to repair your disk.
Also, make sure you have a backup. And check the SMART status to see if it is failing and needs to be replaced.

Why does Itunes keep losing the location of music files?

Itunes will lose the location of the music files. they clearly listed under the right album and proper order but when you select a song a exclamation mark shows up and a window pops up asking me where it can be located. I don't know, Itunes lost it, I haven't done any maintenance work to the hard drive that I know of other than clean the registry on my firefox search engine.

The "missing file" error 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, one of its parent folders, or 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. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) 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, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
i may be able to give some more focused advice once there is a clearer picture of where things are.

Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear when opening a file?

Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear every time I open a file- asking to substitute fonts that I've had working for years. Also, what is that pink box around the type- they are not missing fonts.

Which version?- Latest Creative Cloud Type Kit
Which system?- Mac OS 10.10.1, iMac 7i
Where does the file come from? File is an Adobe Illustrator CC
Which fonts?- Any and all fonts that was used in the .ai file which I have been using for years.
Do you use font management? Which one? Mac Font Book
Are you really sure that your fonts are properly installed? Yes and verified.
Did it ever work? Yes, Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud I get a window stating that the fonts in an existing file are missing and do I want to substitute.
Did you just upgrade?- Apps always upgraded.
Did you change systems?- Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud
The PINK box around the type, I believe, indicates a missing font- but they are not missing and I'm sure as hell not going to let Type Kit control MY FONTS. How do I turn it off as the pink box is intruding with the design composition???
SEE Sumit Singh’s reply- worked for the pink highlight. I have to see about the dialog box thing- I will let you know.

Error when copying movie file

I get an error when trying to backup an iMovie file to an external hard drive.
Unexpected error occurred. Error code -1309.
Wattsup w/ that??
J.

Yes, reformatting will unfortunately wipe out the contents of the drive.
FAT32 has some limitations that make it not a good choice for storing movie clips. The biggest drawback is that the file size is limited to 2 GB, so if your movie clip is too long, you simply cannot store it on that drive.

Why does iTunes create and run playlists when I add folders to the library? How do I stop it?

Just as the title says.
Some albums, when added to the iTunes library, will auto-play and create a playlist. Is there any way to stop this?

What version of Windows do you have?
If the downloaded scripts open as text files then you may need to install the Windows Scripting Host: Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP
It may be that the file association for .vbs files is incorrectly set.

Why does it say server error when trying to sign into icloud on my microsoft

I downloaded i cloud for my windows computer and when i try signing into it it says server error. what does this mean. i am trying to set up icloud so i can save photos
Please help

Have you tried this with any player and does this happens with all browsers or some specific browser ?
Its possible that correct MIME is not rendered ,browsers rely on the MIME type sent in the server headers.
Can you test out with different files and new pages , try to use original format of mp4 for testing.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Why does iTunes keep having error? (importing CD's)

Hi everyone. For over a month or two now I've had itunes give me this same error message before it opens. I dont know where it came from, and I've tired to as it says, to reinstall itunes (even upgrade to new version) and it gives me same message. Although, interstingly, i am able to import CD's without a hassle it still has this same message.
