Music watch 65.4 GB files folder but no files in the folder

I bought a 1 to Digistore external hard drive - a few years ago, and I used it to store all my media since: photos, videos, music and e-books. My main reason to have the external hard drive is to simplify the process of moving these files and make sure they are more protected. I recently got a new laptop which runs on Windows 7, but also a new iPod touch. So as I got the computer a little longer, I already transferred my purchases and others from my old iPod to my new computer, and all my music to fit on the iPod 32 GB, I had to choose the option "Convert higher than 256 Kbps rate songs" in iTunes. If all transferred files were 256 Kbps. So I plug in my hard drive to your new PC and "Scan [ed] and difficulty [ed]" (which lasted 5 hours). So I decided to check the files in Windows Explorer, manually before I imported the iTunes (I also had major duplication problems, which doubled my bytes in iTunes). I discovered that all my files are intact and my photos, videos and e-books are all there, but none of my music is in the "Music" file on my hard drive, except for the 2 files that were not in subfolders. I then check 'Properties' to the 'Music' file and there 65.4 Go in the folder, but the records are all empty... I lost in the initial transfer to iPod music, but I really need the original quality of the files on my hard drive, as I'm a bit of a purest, I guess. I've referenced the other topics on this site, but they do not mention external drives and pressing Alt + T > Folder Options > view > show hidden files and folders did not work for me either. As far as I know, this new computer (second-hand) had no viruses, and files were able to see on my laptop XP before I plugged on the Windows 7 laptop, but now, say something to the effect of "No files in the folder" when you open the sub folders. I am seriously distressed my what, as music is a majority of my life, and I know that the files are not lost, if they still 65 GB of disk space. Could someone give me please a solution that works? Also, I noticed that when I eject my XP laptop hard drive, the light on it turns off and I can feel the drive stop its process, but when I eject on the new Windows 7 laptop, the PC says 'remove mass storage device Safe,' but the light stays on and functions still drive. I understand that this can be a huge problem, but once the device is ejected, I can't access to more info on this subject, and even when I looked to find the "Stop generic-mass" option in Windows 7, I couldn't. It seems to me that while Windows 7 has a friendlier user interface, missing some functions altogether, or complicate otherwise simple used to be things to do.

"Make active"... There is no available disk-levelaction.  What you mean is "Mark Partition as Active".  Is not what you or the other poster may think it is, it does not have a disk "available or unavailable", that is applied to the partition level and what is the MBR to say which partition to boot when he takes control of the boot process.  In other words, the Master Boot Record has some code telling him that it loads the boot sector of the active partition, that's all.

Not necessarily any active partition on the disk at all, often data discs do not have an active partition, active partitions are only necessary at the start of the operating systems, otherwise there is no need to have an active partition and does not mean a hill of beans in the ability to use the disc to store data.

There can only be one active partition on a disk given at any time, if a partition is already marked as active and if you select this option to mark another partition on the same disk as active the active indicator will be removed from the active partition and the other partition will be marked as active, the active indicator will be "switched" between the partitions.  If you remove the indicator active partition used to boot your Windows installation then MBR won't be able to start Windows, and it will give you an error message indicating that he could not find an operating system to load or the boot loader is missing.

  • Watch one. TGA files in the Explorer - the way legitimate?

    There are many plugins for explorer, which allows you to view the .tga files in Explorer. However, the results are often quite buggy.

    I am looking for a way to preview images in Explorer .tga, preferably an official plugin from Microsoft (I have not found a good).
    Is there such official plugin, or can you recommend a 3rd party that has proven to work properly?

    Matt,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community. There is currently no Microsoft plug-in. In research, I found a site of the 3 part that had decent reviews, however, Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Also read the comments, it seems to work for 32 bit only.

    I hope this helps.

    Yes, google for a FREE audio converter. Change your itunes songs or songs that are not supported by the manufacturer of film in MP3, WMA or WAV... mp3 and wma are more preferable. WAV format is too large file size, not practical.
    Then import the song to movie maker. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

  • Save the file to the shared folder in Release Build works, but not in Export version

    We are ready to present our application to App World. However, we noticied when testing the 'export release' that build our file saving function of does not work (the file is not be saved - but the folder we created). The file records fine when running in debug or release mode, but not to export the final file.

    Is - this all simply because we are not supposed to try to run the bar directly exported version file and it should work once on App World? Has anyone experience this problem?

    We are trying to back up the folder "shared/music/AppName" If that helps.

    We have corrected it. We were writing somehow to the wrong address in the "shared". For some reason, it still worked when you use version debug/directly from the IDE, but does not when exported. That's all now works well.

    Hello

    We knew that IDPScheduler will listen to the record of ENTRY watched folders. But here on our machine of LiveCycle watched folders are hit. So I thought that there could be a problem with the IDPSchedulerService/SchedulerService.

    So I followed steps below:

    1. connect to workbench

    2. from the "components" tab, stopped and started the SchedulerService component

    3. connected to /AdminUI

    4. go to home > Services > Applications and Services > service management

    5. arrested and began IDPSchedulerService

    6 cancelled all Watched folders on this server

    7 restart the jboss

    8 deployed watched folders

    I have found no problems after this and treat the files successfully.

    Kind regards

  • What is the extension of the files in the profile folder - file the emails, but not the message .msf file?

    I need to recover a lost Inbox (lost due to a failure). The file to the Inbox in the profile folder is somehow cleaned as if the record has been compacted and some new emails have been added. The size of the file is now a few hundred KB when there should be a few hundred MB. I have run a recovery of files on this disc, but now have thousands of files with names like Raw122354 and don't know what to look for, because the Inbox file has no extension. I can remove those with file extensions I don't know, but that still leaves too many to go through.

    I guess I should also ask if this is a waste of time, if I have a chance to recover the file?

    Messaging files are text files, so yes, you can open them with a text editor. I wouldn't try to open a file of messages Gigabyte with Notepad however.
    There is no need to rename the file with a .txt extension, it can be opened with any text editor without worrying.

    What is the difference (if any) between iPhoto and iPhoto library? I managed to delete my pictures in freeing up space, but have a backup available. I need to restore these two files in the folder images or one is one duplicate of the other?

  • Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I see a file called "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 GB but I also have about 160 other image files in the same folder. But in pictures,.

    Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.

    The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

    The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.

  • How can I make use of TC partitions and make sure that the file analysis is on the right partition?  I do not see the partitions that I have done in the Finder, but I can drag and drop the files in the folder 'Data' unique under Finder/Shared/TC.

    MacBook Air, OSX 10.10.3, 128 GB; 2 TB Time Capsule ME177LL/A.

    Final objective: use Time Capsule as a Time Machine for my MacBook Air and as a storage solution for large files that I don't want permanently on my MacBook Air.

    So far, I've implemented the TC and set up Time Machine on the TC.  I was able to create 2 partitions on the TC using disk utility then that TM was a backup and the disk was recognizable in disk utility.

    Under Finder/shared, I see the TimeCapsule 'airport', and when I click on it it is a file called "Data".  I was expecting to see my two partitions here.  Under 'Features' is a ' Zissou31 MacBook Air (3)"sparsebundle file and I can also create folders here and drag and drop files on the TC here.  I can see the partitions in disk utility, but how do I see/use the partitions I created in the Finder?

    I fear that this may not be set up correctly and I'm either losing on an entire partition I created or these files dragged/dropped may be at risk of overwriting of TimeMachine.  How can I make sure that the file analysis is on the appropriate partition?

    I disabled TimeMachine and go back to see if I could 'point' to one of the partitions, but the "Data" folder is the only thing that TimeMachine seen.  How do I point time Machine for one of the partitions?

    Thank you!

    In addition, in disk utility, I can see one of the partitions TC is related to the time Machine, indicated by the icon Time Machine green bottom left, but two partitions seem to fall under "Zissou31 of the MacBook Air (3) .sparsebundle.

  • CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

    I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

    If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
    It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
    Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
    Anyone have a solution to this?
    Thank you

    OK - the problem is now resolved.

    I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
    It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
    Thanks for your help.
