Lightroom color labels lost on transition from one pc to another

I started using a mac laptop in the field and always used windows pc at home. A portable hard drive holds the lightroom catalog. It's fat32 formatted so it can be used by both mac and windows.
A catalog made by the mac lightroom opens fine in windows. However, all the color labels are lost. The flags and stars are retained.
If a color label is changed on a photo by the windows version of lightroom, then when that catalog is opened on the mac, that photo has no color label. (even though the mac originally gave it a color label)
And all the original color labels that were made by the mac magically return as they were assigned.
To trouble shoot this, I installed the Lightroom 3.6 trial on 2 other pcs - one runs windows 7 32 bit and the other windows 7 64 bit. These installs see the mac created catalog properly.
All the color labels are there and changing one on a windows box is properly reflected on the mac when that catalog is opened.
This is so annoying.
My main pc must have an allergy to my mac.
I removed and reinstalled lightroom on my pc-same problem.
Now i have to figure out what is interfering with my main pc lightroom install.
It cant be lightroom cause i removed it and reinstalled it. but it might be one of the plug ins i use. these magically reappearred even after i reinstalled lightroom after removing it.
Anyone have suggestions?

The color labels are preserved between different programs (for instance between Bridge and Lightroom) and I imagine between different LRs on two different computers only when the texts entered as description for the color labels in >Metadata >Color Label Set >Edit is absolutely identical on both computers down to upper / lower case, spaces, numbers, hyphens, etc. If one dexcription for - lets say the red label - deviates from the other by only a semicolon the label will not display properly.

DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
Steps Performed:-
1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

Copy lightroom 4.4 "default camera settings" from one computer to another?

Is it possible to copy my lightroom 4.4 "default camera settings" from one computer to another?

Quote "Are you saying that the settings are stored in the catalog."
I believe it is stored in the Preferences file. You can use presets to do the same thing as adjusting the "default develop settings", they are applied differently.
One is set in the Lightroom "Preferences" and one is applied by selecting a particular preset at import. I have not tried but since you can delete the preference file and Lightroom will rebuild one I am pretty sure you should be able to copy one from one computer to another.
Also you need to be aware that Lightroom applies noise reduction by default to your specific camera model and to the ISO setting. It does not display the actual settings.

Automatic transition from one state to another

I am newbie to Cat and I have a simple three state (page) project and I just need it to automatically go from state 1 to state 2 to state 3 and then repeat the squence again. This is a banner ad for three differenct products.
The question: How do I setup an automatic transition from state to state?

Hi,
Thanks a lot. Even I am a newbie like u to Flash catalyst. The solution u gave works only when we have 2 pages. I have 6 pages (states) in my application. So please let me know if u come across any other solution.
Thanks a lot for ur help.

Swatch palette becomes full of unused colors when copy and paste from one document to another!!

sometimes (i haven't found a pattern yet of when) when i copy and paste an object that is solid black (for example) into another Illustrator document, a bunch of unused swatches copy into the swatch palette for no reason! lots of "default global colors" and PMS swatches. i then have to 'select all unused' and delete them all to clean out the palette (which always seems to stall while thinking when selecting or deleting them). often times i get the global swatch warning (always 2x, not just once) before placing an object and before the whole swatch palette fills up with unused colors.
this has only happened recently in the last few months and i have been using Illustrator for years so i'm not sure what's stemming this. a new update? has anyone else noticed this problem and know a solution? is there a preference checked somewhere that i don't know about?
guess i should mention i'm on CS3 Illustrator running MAC OS 10.5.6
thanks,
kim

I've had this problem before as well and it has to do with a currupt file that your coppying from. It's too complicated to explain here so here is my fix for it.
I take the file and save it down or up in CS1. Open infected file in CS1. Create a new file in CS1 the same size as the one you've opened. Select all and drag and drop into the new empty file. Don't copy paste, it must be dragged into the file. You can then delete all global colours and save your file. The curruption will be gone. There's a way to check suspect files to see if they have the deleted global colours present. Open your suspect file in a text editor like simple text, scroll down a little way and if you see a bunch of lines of code mentioning "deleted global colours" then you know it's infected and has to be fixed.
Hope this helps
Here is another idea from a bit of research I just did. Don't know if this works or not but you might want to give it a try and it explains the issue in more detail

--Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

I have CS5...
I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
Thanks

exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
That seems unlikely. If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export. Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time. Here's what I mean.
Export only:
1. Decode original media
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
1. Decode original media.
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
4. Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

Moving from One Mac to Another

I'm considering selling my 13" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro for a newer 13" i5 MacBook Pro. It's the first time I've done a transition from one Mac to another and I have a few questions...
What's the best way to transfer everything over to my new Mac, without having to reinstall certain software? I'm worried about needing to re-install Logic, Aperture, Final Cut, or CS5, because these discs are packed away in boxes and I can't really get to them right now. If I have to re-install things like Firefox or OnyX, no big deal there... just looking to backup the Pro applications.
Can migration assisstant do what I'm looking for, or is there something better for this? Need some insight on how to handle this.
Thanks for reading!

THIS ONE I KNOW!!!
There's a Migrating your Mac wizard in the "Utilities" folder - when you start the NEW Mac - all you need is a network cable, when PROMPTED - when the new Mac turns on - it asks "are you migrating an existing Mac" (something like that) say YES - at that point, on your other system - you're going to fire up the "migrating your mac" program - which will be on your OLD system. Once there, the Network cable (Make sure it's compatible with gigbit speeds - this process will take some time!) but the two systems WITHOUT A SWITCH, Without a hub - plugged from one to another, will move EVERYTHING to the new system.
How?
You sign on as YOU every time you do anything. The program simply looks for anything NOT owned by the system - and 100% of your stuff is moved over properly, into the right places

I am trying to transfer my library from one laptop to another and have lost about 600 songs, why is that and how can I fix it please?

Can anyone help me successfully move my complete library from one laptop to another because I plugged my ipod nano into the new laptop which was fully up to date and have lost about 600 songs.
Would appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks.

How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?

How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?

You know, in the one screen capture, from the old computer, we can see that the photo has the keyword "bees"
In the other screen capture, from the new computer, we cannot see the keyword "bees"
And better yet, show us the Keywording Panel instead of the Keyword List Panel
I am also concerned that you are showing us the original catalog on the new computer that you created via importing the photos. That's not what we want to see.
So please confirm that you are using the catalog file that was copied from the old computer, and when placed on the new computer, you double-clicked on that exact catalog file, and then created the screen capture. Please confirm that you are NOT looking at the catalog you created by importing the photos.

How to transfer Lightroom settings from one catalog to another?

Lightroom 5. I have combined two catalogs into one "Master Catalog" per Julian Kosts tutorial ( http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-evangelists-julieanne-kost/lr3-merging-individual-lightroo m-catalogs-into-a-master-catalog-/ ) without incident. However, my presets are not to be found. Could there be other issues? How Do I properly get these presets into my Master Catalog?
How to transfer Lightroom settings from one catalog to another?

Nevermind.
Per the turorials, this is suppose to occur automatically.
In the rare event that it does not, forced by lack of support through Adobe or the forums, I am relagated to resolve my problem the old fasjion way. Guessing at a solution of dragging and dropping (risking overwritting current the newer LR5 files (careful now).
I love the product but trying to get problem resolution here has been disapointing.
I'd like to retract this entire question session.

How come when i copy a color from one page to another, the color looks faded?

I'm using the same color in a multi-page layout. When i copy a color box from one page to another, the color looks faded on some pages. WHY?! Thanks!

So i checked the blend spaces - both are CMYK (as this doc will be offset printed). Something really strange is happening! See attach below: the 2 blues (same setup/blend space, color breakdown, etc...) look different! And my client is PICKY! ugh. HELP! Thanks again!

How do you move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5?

I want to move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5 and my laptop (no external hard drive involved). I have already started the editing process in Catalog #1, but due to the size of the Catalog #1, I want to move the current job and future work to a new Catalog.
Currently the backup feature takes an hour to complete. There are also significant delays during large image edits.    So I am thinking, that by moving over to a smaller Catalog, Lightroom will work faster.

Hello ... and thanks for your response.   But I have discovered a couple problems. And I am sure it is "operator error"
I used your method #1. The first window that popped up stated that it was making a temporary copy of the catalog. This took about 20 minutes.
Next, the window showed thumbnail photos on the right and a list of folders in my catalog on the left. The catalog contains folders stored on my LapTop, as well as my external hard drive.
There appeared to be a distinctive difference between those photo folders stored on the external hard drive and those on my LapTop.   The folders on the external drive were named as I have all my folders named: Date_CustomName. The folders stored on my LapTop were named as: Lightroom_5 Backup_Date_CustomName or some such combination and my memory is foggy on the actual use of underscore, slash marks, dashes, etc.
I searched the list closely, and the Folders without a reference to "Lightroom Backup" were not showing.
So as a test, I "added" to the new Catalog one folder from the external hard drive and two from the LapTop.   After the transfer, the new Catalog had accurately named my external hard drive and the folder within in and the photos and their edits transferred accurately.   The other two folders were not named but listed shown in the library module as grey boxes as images with indications of editing. But when I clicked on it, there was a notation that popped up that the file could not be found.
Any ideas?
I am going to create a second new catalog and try your option #2 now.
Thanks

Focus lost moving from one form to another in web deployed forms6i

I have developed an application using forms6i rel 2
The forms server is installed on windows 2000 and all necessary set up is done on the forms server. Patch 18 is also applied.
On the client side I am using IE 6 and JRE Java 2 Ver 1.5.0_9-b03
Everything works fine. But when I navigate from one form to another, the cursor focus is lost. This also happens when I navigate from one block to another block within the same form.
In such situation when I press Windows button on the key board twice, the cursor reappears. It seems the problem is because the applet window where the forms is running is not refreshed while navigating to different forms.
Can anybody guide me to solve this problem.
Thanks
Kamlesh

Hi,
I also have same problem ´but with forms 10g.
If i set SeprateFrame=True then it works fine. but if applet is inside ie window and i move from this IE window to any other window and come back then focus is set to first menu item.
whenever user comes back to forms apps, has to click somewhere in applet to activate it, this is so irritating.
Seems that even oracle does not have any workaround for this, same thing happens on forms demo which is provided by oracle.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
Any help would be welcome

This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

Transitioning from one chart of accounts to another one

Hi everybody, my client is transitioning from one chart of accounts to another. There is basically a table that translates old account nomenclature to the new one.
Example: old one 00734000 > new one 7340000000
In Bex, when i run a simple query with cost element jerarchy in it, it gives me good result, but at the same time when i go to BW and see the same jerarchy, it shows me the old nodes ??!!
Any idea, why there is this difference?
And a general question, anyone has already done it? How did you do it? Because we have to check every corner of BW to see if everything's ok and it's a nightmare!!

Hi,
It is the nature of BW to store some data like that.
Even the data like dates, sometimes it stores in the format of "782.663" (example). But if you use the same field in query and when you execute, you will get the perfect date like "05/05/2008".
This might be the scenario in your case too.
Regards,
KK.
