Wrong file
I have baught Final Cut Express HD and now I want to learn to use it. When I open a MPG movie file it says "File Error: Wrong type." What file should it be, and how do I change it?
Hello and welcome to the forum.
FCE uses QuickTime files at fixed resolutions/frame rates/etc. The MPG file needs conversion to something that's FCE-friendly. There's a free utility called MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) which might be able to handle the conversion. Can't tell from your description. You might also need QuickTime's MPEG Playback component, a $20 download from Apple.
I'd encourage you to invest in a training/reference book. Two excellent choices are Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express by Diana Weynand and Final Cut Express Editing Workshop by Tom Wolsky (frequent contributor to this forum). In the USA, these are $25-30 on Amazon.

Backup MaxDB 7.6 mit HP Data Protector; Wrong file type
Hallo.
Wir versuchen, eine MaxDB-Datenbank (Rel. 7.6) auf SUSE-LINUX unter Verwendung von HP Data Protector zu sichern. Der Versuch, das Backup durchzuführen, schlägt fehl, da auf dem MaxDB-Server anscheinend die Pipe nicht angelegt werden kann. Folgende Meldung wird ausgegeben:

Ein Versuch, die Pipe /usr/omni/tmp/SDB.BACKDP-Data[1].1 manuell auf dem MaxDB-Server anzulegen, schlug ebenso fehl. Eine Pipe /usr/omni/tmp/SDB.BACKDP-Data kann angelegt werden.
Frage 1) Hat jemand ein ähnliches Problem und dazu eine Lösung?
Frage 2) Wo ist hinterlegt, welchen Medium-Name der Data Protector beim command "medium_put" verwenden soll?
Danke für Eure Hilfe!

HeidelbergHi Marcus,
we use the version 5.5.
The pipe name is generated by the Data Protector. When I want to create manually a pipe with this name I got the message "No hit found".
Do you know a possibilty where we can configure (at Data Protector or MaxDB) which medium name should be used for creating the pipe?
Thanks a lot!

Itunes points to wrong files - points to random system files instead of mp3
I noticed this about a year and a half ago when my ipod would have an error that some of the files couldnt be transfrered. Upon further inspection, it seems itunes occasionally gets confused about where files are located. The files will look fine in itunes but wont play. If I right click on them and chose "show in finder" the file that should be an mp3 in my library, is actually pointed at ical/contents/resources/italian.Ipoj/iCal Help/gfx/priority.gif
Which is totally bonkers. It's a totally random operating file.
Now I could go in and delete and re-import these files. Eventually that is what I have ended up doing in the past. But now it's happened to about 700 files (out of about 18,000) and it would take a century for me to go through each track and find out which ones that has happened to.
I know there are some applescripts out there for missing and dead tracks, but I can't seem to find one that just checks that we're pointing to the CORRECT file. keep in mind, these correct files actually are where they are supposed to be. Itunes is just linking to the wrong files.
Message was edited by: James CampbellI am experiencing the same problem and after restoring from backup I either still have some wrong pointers or the problem is returning.
One way to find out which tracks are pointing to random files is to sync your whole music library either in one go if it's small enough or in parts to an iphone or ipod. You will then get a dialog with all the files that won't play on the device.
How do I relink them manually? Can't work it out. -

I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer. -
I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!
Make sure you have the right version...

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

2005 Help center is it complete or is it the wrong file..?
Ihave just downloaded the 2005 sdk help Center to get some information abou the UserQueries Object and the downloaded file (b1_sdk.zip) starts off with the homepage titled
'SAP Business One SDK 2004' !! and no ref at all to the UserQueries Object.
so question is twofold
is the 2005 SDK helpcenter incorrect(ie Wrong file linked)
and 2 where can I get some detail about the UserQueries Object
thanks..https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/businessone
is where I got it from.
Looks like you have found the same error,
i installed the 2005 sdk from a 2005 release CD but the help file was NOT installed with it ,(and the CD is at the head office)
But if there is a link to the correct file anywhere I would appreciateit
thanks
Maybe someone from SAP can correct the file and let us know

Wrong file naming on latest installation ISO
Hi all.
I whose trying to install Arch from latest installation ISO without any success. I whose thinking that whose problem with UEFI and USB combination, similar to this
Boot USB installation as EFI
I've whose getting same output as on this screenshot
But after studying error messages, I've noticed some wrong file naming:
\ARCH\X86_64\USR_LIB_MODULES_FS.SFS
\ARCH\X86_64\ROOT_IMAGE_FS.SFS
\ARCH\I686\USR_LIB_MODULES_FS.SFS
\ARCH\I686\ROOT_IMAGE_FS.SFS
\ARCH\ANY\USR_SHARE_FS.SFS
Setup expects to find
\ARCH\X86_64\USR-LIB-MODULES.FS.SFS
\ARCH\X86_64\ROOT-IMAGE.FS.SFS
\ARCH\I686\USR-LIB-MODULES.FS.SFS
\ARCH\I686\ROOT-IMAGE.FS.SFS
\ARCH\ANY\USR-SHARE.FS.SFS
After changing file names, setup boots up normally and start shell. This is problem with file names or in ARCHISO.IMG?
Hope it helps for others to run installation media.
Hope it helps for others to run installation media.thanks alot for the clarification, I tried to search Google on this trouble and I finally found this post!
I also had to rename, although I extracted with 7-zip I renamed both the ROOT_IMAGE.FS.SFS files to whatever was tried at the prompt ...
We really should put some pre-built alternative images up for this on the download-page -
[SOLED] Firefox input type = file selects the wrong file
When I have use a webpage in firefox that has an upload feature, Firefox often selects the wrong file. I can reproduce this problem by simply creating a form with an input tag like this:
<input type="file" />
When I enter the file selection screen and open fileA the input box contains fileA, fileB or fileC. It seems kind of random to me. I use KDE 4.5 btw, if that matters.
Last edited by Wilco (2010-08-07 08:24:35)It seems to be some kind of kde problem. When I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/* it works fine. I tried deleting the all files in share/config starting with a-m and it still didn't work. Then I deleted every file from n-z and it didn't work so it's probably a combination of files that give these problems. I don't feel like setting up KDE all over again so damn, it's back to Icewm, again...

I'm using OSX Mountain Lion with Acrobat Pro X (10.1.3) and when I double click on a PDF attachment in mail, Acrobat shows me the wrong file. If I let PREVIEW open the attachment it is correct, or if I download the attachment and have Acrobat open it is correct.
Its almost like Acrobat has cached the attachment by name and as this matches a previous file name that is the version that is always shown. Is there a "clear cache" setting or something to resolve this?I agree. It would appear that you may be depending on the Acrobat URL recognition, rather than having entered the URL in the link tool.

Used tip in fonts wiki; wrote to wrong file, need to see the original
one night while bored i decided to use the lcd packages mentioned in our fonts wiki.
wiki wrote:The "fontconfig-lcd" package enables by default the "lcddefault" filter. You can edit the /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-lcd-filter.conf file and replace it with another filter.
i accidently misread this as /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-lcd-filter.conf. everything went smoothly (no loss in functionality or anything) but i randomly starting seeing an error while doing some tasks (like for instance, installing the cmatrix package)
paraphrased error (can't remember exactly):
error wrote:Error in /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-lcd-filter.conf. Invalid constant "lcddefault".
this was when i realized i edited the wrong file. but i don't know what to put it back to. i've tried "none", "default", and "lcdlegacy". "lcdlegacy" silenced the error while installing cmatrix (found that out while trying to get the error syntax for this post). but i _did_ pop up during some other task i can't remember now... i swear. all choices will randomly pop up that same error during some random task.
if someone's got the lcd-filters installed as per our wiki, can i see your conf.d/10-lcd-fonts.conf so i can put mine back?
many thanks
also, interstingly:
> pacman -Qo /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-lcd-filter.conf
error: No package owns /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-lcd-filter.conf
> pacman -Qo /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-lcd-filter.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-lcd-filter.conf is owned by fontconfig-lcd 2.6.0-1
should i just remove it? i feel like the error message would read differently if the file shouldn't be there all together... but i'll be happily corrected on that.
edit: typos... as usual
Last edited by brisbin33 (2009-02-20 01:23:21)no, i want the fontconfig-lcd package... plus it doesn't own the conf.d file anyway, as per the pacman output. i just edited the wrong file and wanted to know what it looked like before i did that (i.e. on a default system). my post may be a bit confusing, i apologize.
i've removed (and saved) the file, we'll see how that goes... -
File Error: Wrong File Type for Project File
Just had our 2nd LaCie 2tb hard drive crash. Just completed a project and was about ready to compress it when the drive wouldnt boot up anymore. I tried every program under the sun before eventually sending it off for data recovery.
$1700 dollars later I have all my files, except one little change.
My FCP project files are not recognizable by FCP anymore. In the get info box it says they are "Kind: Final Cut Pro Document" The preview picture is a gradient box with exec in the green text in the upper left corner. I tried adding the .fcp extension, but it still wouldn't open it. I keep getting the "File Error: Wrong File Type" when I try opening it with FCP.
Anything I can do to fix this?
ThanksYou might give the following a try...
1. open the .fcp file with TextEdit
2. save the file again
3. open with fcp

Wrong file in the "Populating an ArrayCollection with retrieved data" exercise
In the "Populating an ArrayCollection with retrieved data" there is a file ex2_04_starter.zip, which contains ex2_04_solution.mxml file and should contain ex2_04_start.mxml, right ?
Great videos! Thank you!Hi Burpix,
Looks like the link for the starter file within the exercise is linked to the wrong file. If you pull the project archive for Day 2 you will get all of the starter & solution files and video transcripts for all of Day 2 exercises. The starter file for ex2.04 is correct if download it from the project archive zip. Adobe will be fixing the link within the exercise later but for now you can pull the correct starter file from the project archive zip. -
In one folder that I know off, when I open a file with Photoshop it opens the wrong file. Also in Windows Explorer when I right click a file and preview it, it shows the wrong file. All these files are .jpg files.
How can I resolve this problem?
ThanksHi M.K.
I understand your meanings, but the situation you have encountered is a little weird to me. If possible, would you mind upload some screenshot with instructions?
In case this is related with some 3rd-party software, check this issue in clean boot, please follow the instructions in the article on how to use clean boot:
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Further, please right click the start menu (Or press
Win + X ), then select Command Prompt (Admin),
then type the following command and press enter:
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
