Files lost in an interrupted copy / paste

Hello! If someone could help I would really appreciate, I am hopeless with computers:
I moved my library of music from an external hard drive to my new PC and thought I hit skip when asked to confirm a replacement file. Must have hit Cancel, the transfer has stopped and now have no idea how to find and retrieve files. They are not in the original folder, or the folder target. It seems they are on my hard drive somewhere because it is about 50 g it is not previously in the properties, but I can't find them in a folder, or by searching the computer.
Any ideas?

Hello melcurrant,

You know what you try and do is to do a search for one of the titles of the songs that you have been a match for the external hard drive to your PC. For example, let's say that it's the Rolling Stones Start Me Up. In Vista, click the Vista logo button (don't know if it's called the start over button) and type in the box search in Start Me Up. If it's on your PC as you think, and you are probably right that the music is a place, you should see where in the results window of research resulting.

I hope this helps.

Eric

    That's right (copy / paste Gets an overview of average quality without metadata updates)-the proper way is to export the photos (menu, file == > export) checking metadata fields you want to include

  • How copy/paste or copy/move a file to another folder in Windows XP

    I need to copy/paste or copy/move the files from one folder to program existing to another folder.

    Use the movement commands to copy do?

    Hi Jimmyjack1941,

    I suggest you to read the following articles for more information.

    These are the items if you use the Windows Explorer to perform operations:

    To copy a file or folder

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_copy_file.mspx?mfr=true

    To move a file or folder

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_move_files.mspx?mfr=true

    You can follow these commands to move and rename the file or folder using the command prompt:

    Moves files and renames files and directories.

    To move one or more files:
    MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] file1 [,...] destination

    To rename a directory:
    MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] dirname1 repert2

    [drive:] [path] file1

    Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move.

    destination

    Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you move a single file, you can also include a file name if you want to rename the file when you move it.

    [drive:] [path] dirname1

    Specifies the directory you want to rename.

    repert2

    Specifies the new name of the directory.

    /Y

    Deletes the request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

    Y

    Causes of request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

    The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This can be derived with / y on the command line. Default value is quick to replace unless is running of command MOVE within a command script.

    Example:

    move c:\windows\temp\*.* c:\temp

    Move the temporary directory c:\windows\temp files in the root, this is of course assuming you have the windows\temp folder.

    Note: Microsoft does not move the files/folders installed application.

    Hope this information helps.

    It works for the other connections on this machine.  So, with the worries of shrinking to s/o the origin of the problem,

    I saved my files and re-created a new account.  The new account works fine, so I deleted the old account.

    I really don't know why this has happened given I have not installed the brand new s/w recently.

  • I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player. When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.

    I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.

    The dashed lines in my Illustrator file deform when I copy/paste the in Excel. Otherwise, the image is fine. What I am doing wrong?

    The lines end up looking much bigger than they were initially.

    I am using the paste special option in Excel and it works fine for all parts of the image, but this.

    Someone suggested I try to use the Mode plotted, but who has not made a difference when I tried.

    The map view wouldn't make any difference, so more clarification is needed on your workflow.

    Why it's not working for you save the image as a png image in Illustrator and then insert it correctly as a picture in Excel?

    What are you trying to make to it after that's in Excel? If the PNG workflow does not work for you, then explain your workflow. It might help to know if you're Mac or Windows and the version numbers and maybe screenshots.

  • How a copy paste a text layer of the file one psd to another?

    Hello

    CS6

    I select the type tool, type some text, create a text layer.

    I went with this still active text layer, ctrl a, selection puts on the perimeter of the entire image, ctrl c (copy) and clicked on the psd file tab I wanted to put it in and went ctrl v (paste)

    text appeared.

    HOWEVER... This isn't text, try selecting the it, you can't!

    To the search, in the layers palette, it is not not a text layer as it was in the psd source.

    going on what?

    I copy paste on this occasion, not drag drop.

    Instead of copying the pixels (what does your process) instead do a right-click on the text layer - select «Duplicate layer...» "and where it says - Destination - click on the dropdown next to"Document"and the change to the file that you are trying to move the text to.
