Metadata for .mov files radically different to originals
My iPhone's photos and videos are backed up to OneDrive. The files are al synced to my PC hard drive. I'm just clearing off some of the larger .mov files from my iPhone as a quick way to make space. I reconcile that they've definitely been backed up by finding the file on my PC. Only, when I'm doing this the videos aren't there! Thankfully, they are, but with completely different dates and timestamps. For example, a video I took at 0715 on 1 December 2025 shows on my PC as 2 December 2025 at 1458! This is a nightmare scenario. I've also tried Date Created, Date Modified and Date Taken (always blank for .mov files) but none accurately correspond with the correct date and timestamps on my iPhone. Has anyone else experienced this or found a work around?Recently saved local file not available
I saved an excel file to my OneDrive Documents directory (.xlsx) when I was offline. OneDrive notified that a local copy was saved due to being offline. However, the file does not exist where I saved it. I searched the entire documents dir with explorer and it is not there. What's going on? When I was back online I was able to open it. This is not the behavior I selected in OneDrive, I selected always save a local copy. When I was offline I was able to open other workbooks. There have been other files that I can't access when offline. This makes me want to quit using OneDrive. Can someone please explain how to fix this?
Corrupted VT+ transaction files
We are a small accounting company using VT+ Transaction on a local drive synchronized with OneDrive for backup and file storage. A few days ago when we tried to open the application, we suddenly started receiving the following error messages: Run Time Error 0 and Run Time Error 440, and the program does not start. According to VT+ support the program files are corrupted and the data can only be restored up to the year 2022, as the more recent backups are also affected. Somehow the system is overriding our backups, which makes the latest ones unusable. Any advice what could cause that and how to resolve the issue. Thanks
A bunch of files are missing from Desktop folders managed by OneDrive
I don't use OneDrive at all, but my mom who's not tech-savvy at all has it on her laptop. Today, she suddenly notices that a bunch of files from a folder on desktop have disappeared. It seems like all of the desktop are managed by/synced with OneDrive but there's some sort of error preventing her from seeing/access those files. Please see the screenshots. Since my 60+ years old mother is really not up-to-date with the tech, she can't tell me if she's done anything with OneDrive (she doesn't even know what it is and that she's using it), when the last update was, etc. But she is not computer illiterate enough that she would accidentally delete all these files from those folders herself. Is there any way of getting these files back and shut off OneDrive permanently so it won't sneak back onto her laptop with the next Windows Update? Thanks in advance!How to resolve 'path is too long' error - endless abending loop!
I'm searching for the proper procedure to resolve a OneDrive for Business issue where a file path is too long. Still, when revised in SharePoint, the OneDrive account doesn't sync the changes and continues to alert the path being too long despite being renamed in SharePoint.
