"could not be used because the original file cannot be found".

Due to the use of the program duplicate Fixer of Photos on my Mac, I now have quite a few photos in Lightroom was marked as "could not be used because the original file cannot be found" and a small! mark appears on the thumbnail.

I would like to know if I choose these photographs (more than 400 in all of my collection of approximately 20,000) by some filter? I did not understand this point, and it would be useful to follow them down (to then define as rejected and then removed from the LR catalog) without having to wade through hundreds of folders, etc.

Suggestions for a filter would be very appreciated.

Tony

PS I probably shouldn't have trashed the peaks of duplicate Fixer Photos, but this is now water under the brifge...

Use the menu command library-> find all the Photos of missing

To fix the icon exclamation point, read the following instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • PC Windows 10 > the songs on my MUSIC FILE could not be used, because the ORIGINAL file was not found!

    How to find the original on my windows 10 PC file?

    The "missing file" error occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parents, or the reader, records it feeds has been a change in the letter of the drive or you have moved a non-portable library to a different path (see make a split cell library for more details). It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

    Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl - I to get the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. Look under the file tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music directory in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

    In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. He peut then offers to try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files, or the library was moved from OS X to Windows, then chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies it will be difficult to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is pregnant. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

    If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

    1. The location of the media file under Edit > Preferences > advanced
    2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location which begins file://localhost/
    3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details.

    The error message happens chronically today.

    It does not matter what I try to install the air file.

    I uninstalled, cleaned the registry and all the usual things.

    And then re-installed-with the same error messages


    Windows 7. Current update.

    I got a response on another area of support.

    And

    Because I asked for help here-

    I think it's the kind of thing to do to post the

    steps that allowed me to correct.

    I knew I had the latest Adobe air platform.

    I felt that I knew that the download files were updated.

    So-

    What was one of the suggestions I've had -

    Told to turn off the firewall and antivirus.

    Instinct made me disconnect the machine from the router.

    I continued and disabled all the protections I had put in place-

    and watched as the first program installed air -.

    Since before January.

    Then put those protections back in line.

    And re-attached the router line.

    It doesn't seem to work now.

    What version of Mac OS do you have? I guess it's 10.6.8 which is not supported by the App Builder. You need to update to a newer version of Mac OS.
