Metadata Issue iBooks

We recently submitted an Algebra 1 iBook created with iBooks author. Received the message that there was a metadata issue. Was wondering if anyone knew:
1. What is the metadata they are referring to
2. How do you edit it
3. Once fixed, do you have to completely resubmit and start over with the submission process, or can you edit what has already been submitted.
Much thanks

Meta data is the details you entered when you acted to submit your book using iTunes Producer.
Check for red flags for that book in iTunes Producer....could be any number of things - we can't tell without more info
Just edit the stuff for that book using iTP for whatever needs fixing and try again.

Metadata issues in A3 - This is a real concern

Metadata issues in A3. This is a real concern if your images go to third parties from A3.

Thanks, dzedward,
I posted a reply with quite some effort in it, but it is
dissapeared after pressing the reply button. what I as explaining
was that I use an attached sound and so streaming is not an issue.
Please look at the few lines of code I use in my demo (please use
the link above for the fla with the WAV):
audioClock=new Sound(createEmptyMovieClip("sound1",1));
audioClock.attachSound("theSync");
audioClock.setVolume(90);
stop();
//When playing a swf (in most cases) the audio clock is on
every 46.4399093 ms.
//A onSoundComplete function only starts ON a clock puls!
That explains "gaps"
//when people complain working with audio loops in Flash.
//The audio sample used in this test has a 200 ms duration.
It can't be shorter.
//So it is started 25 ms from the end. When the sample is at
the end, the flash player
//pauses for 46.4399093 minus 25 ms, and starts the audio
sample from the same point
//again ( that is at the next clock puls). That's fine for
hearing audio clock and
//this test:
audioClock.start(0.175,1);
audioClock.onSoundComplete = function() {
audioClock.start(0.175,1);

4.2.1 Does Not Fix" Crash-on-screen saver" bug or metadata issues

ATV2 crashes as soon as it goes to screen saver. 4.2.1 does not fix this. WTC?
You have to set screen saver to "Never" to prevent crashing.
No one checks these things?

Metadata issues still hosed.
Not seen the screensaver issue.
Personally I think this update was a patch to fix the DVI flickering issues that rendered the device unusable for many people - other annoyances can be fixed later but we better keep reminding them:

Metadata Issue?

I submitted my book Friday morning. Checking yestderday, I see this.
"Metadata Issue. There is an issue with the metadata. Contact us after you have verified and redelivered the metadata."
Trouble is, I can't see anything wrong with the metadata. The blanks are all filled in. Has anyone else seen this? I did a search here and it seems to indicate that Apple won't be able to tell me what the problem is. Any hints or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It would be easy to verify for iTunes Producer whether the title in the metadata matches the title in the book. Sadly, it doesn't do that.
"Metadata Issue. There is an issue with the metadata. Contact us after you have verified and redelivered the metadata."
Singularly useful error message. The author gets to play the guessing game. Why not just say "The title in the metadata doesn't match the title of the book"?
I have the same problem with many of my submitted ebooks.
All I can suggest is to diligently go through each field of metadata, checking that it meets the requirements set up in the publisher guide and that the metadata is consistent with the book you submitted.

Metadata issue in PPro - UserClipName populates in Metadata and won't go away

I have P2 footage that is behaving oddly in PP - PPro CS6. I am on a PC, using Windows 7 Professional.
Footage was shot and archived onto our PC last summer - as is our typical process - and a PP project was started. It was left dormant till now - 6 months later. I am the new editor tasked with finishing this edit.
I began by organizing assets in the project and then reviewing all files to identify what I have to work with - this step includes logging info into the metadata (as I typically do). I noticed that the UserClipName was appearing in the SHOT metadata item - I wanted to use SHOT for the Shot number, so I replaced the UserClipName that was in that field with the Shot Number, and I made other additions to the Metadata in the appropriate fields. I saved the project often during this process. I closed the project. I then tried to open another project in PP and nothing opened. I tried to open just the program, and nothing opened. I then logged out of my user account, and then re-logged in. I tried to open PP and it opened fine.
I opened other PP projects to see if I could see the UserClipName in the SHOT item (or anywhere) in the Metadata window - and I did not see it. I also did some test changes to the metadata to see if I could replicate the same issue with the program not opening - changed metadata, save, close - and no problems with opening PP. I created a new project in PP for the above footage in question, imported it, and there was the UserClipNames in the SHOT metadata field. I did not change any metadata - just saved and closed, and was able to reopen PP. I then tried to add data to the Metadata, save and close - I was not able to reopen PP.
I have imported this footage in various ways - thru the media browser; click and drag from finder window; double click from within the Projects panel then browse to the files; using cntrl-I - and each of these methods was with a clean (new) project. No love.
I also tried to convert this footage directly in Encoder as well as through Prelude (which just takes it to Encoder) into three different formats - P2; Quicktime; H.264 - then created new projects in PP. No love.
What I know is that I can work in the project fine (as far as I can tell so far) as long as I do not touch any metadata. That is a bummer for me - but, oh well. But the fact that this issue exists concerns me -I have no assurances that I will I be able to complete this edit successfully. Fortunately it is only a short PSA, ... and for extra help, I will make my offerings to the Edit-Gods to help get me through to the end without any further issues.
I would love to hear if anyone out here has any suggestions on what might be going on - and ideally a solution. I am okay with appeasing the Edit-Gods - but I would prefer to have more solid solution.

Hi Sali,
I began by organizing assets in the project and then reviewing all files to identify what I have to work with - this step includes logging info into the metadata (as I typically do). I noticed that the UserClipName was appearing in the SHOT metadata item - I wanted to use SHOT for the Shot number, so I replaced the UserClipName that was in that field with the Shot Number, and I made other additions to the Metadata in the appropriate fields. I saved the project often during this process. I closed the project. I then tried to open another project in PP and nothing opened. I tried to open just the program, and nothing opened. I then logged out of my user account, and then re-logged in. I tried to open PP and it opened fine.
Thanks for your post.
Let me see if I understand you. You say that the text string, "UserClipName" was in the "Shot" metadata field. By replacing that text string with the a shot number in the Shot metadata you began to have unexpected behavior, such as, not being able to reopen a project. Logging out of your user account, then logging back in allowed you to then open the project. Is that correct? That's pretty odd, for sure.
I opened other PP projects to see if I could see the UserClipName in the SHOT item (or anywhere) in the Metadata window - and I did not see it. I also did some test changes to the metadata to see if I could replicate the same issue with the program not opening - changed metadata, save, close - and no problems with opening PP.
Sounds like you have hit a bug with P2 footage and Premiere Pro CS6. There is a closed bug in our database, but the state may been triggered with subsequent changes to your system, or the like. The bug also may not have been completely fixed with your particular kind of P2 media.
As I understand it, the issue has to do with how XMP metadata is interpreted by Premiere Pro. I do not believe there is a workaround for this issue other than not changing that particular metadata field. Perhaps you can use a different field, like Comment or Description, for shot number.
What I know is that I can work in the project fine (as far as I can tell so far) as long as I do not touch any metadata. That is a bummer for me - but, oh well. But the fact that this issue exists concerns me -I have no assurances that I will I be able to complete this edit successfully.
I really hope you can get through this project. Let us know if you hit any more issues along the way.
Thanks,
Kevin

Oracle 10g R2 - Metadata Issue With Version Controlled Resources

We are trying to utilize the Oracle 10g R2 feature that allows user-defined metadata to be attached to XML DB resources. However, we are encountering errors when we try to append/attach metadata to a version-controlled resource (VCR). The following steps were followed:
1. Register a new schema to be used for metadata (XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema).
2. Add a new resource to to the XML DB and make it version controlled (DBMS_XDB.createResource and DBMS_XDB_VERSION.makeVersioned).
3. Checkout the newly created version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB_VERSION.checkout)
4. Add metadata to the version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB.appendResourceMetadata)
However, after step 4, the errors shown below are encountered:
========================================================
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qmxStrCopy: INLOB 2], [], [], [],
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XDB", line 890
ORA-06512: at line 2
========================================================
The steps followed for adding metadata to a resource were taken from Chapter 26 of the "Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide 10G Release 2" (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb_repos_meta.htm#sthref2302).
Is is possible to append and maintain metadata to an XML DB version controlled resource (VCR)? If so, what are the correct steps to do this? Note that if this is tried with a resource that is not version controlled, then no errors are encountered.
Thanks,
Steve

It appears that this issue has been solved in the next release of the database

Metadata - Issue Can You Customize Apertures Metadata to work with Bridge

I am a photographer and my workflow is to import all my images into Aperture library and add metadata. When exporting image is it possible to integrate the data with Bridge? This is important feature as most people do not import images with Aperture. The issue is that many of the field names are different or non existent between the two programs. For example Location in Bridge is Sub location in Aperture. Can you add contact info such as URL, email that are included within Bridge?
Is there a way to customize the metadata fields to work with CS3?
Any advise is greatly appreciated

Hello Dhruser1,
I think that the DAQmx Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration should work for the SCC-SG24 module. Take a look at this article: Removing Large Initial Offset for Load Cell or Strain Measurements with SCXI-1520 or PXI-4220 in particular it mentions that using this VI in addition to the auto zero can introduce an offset. If you're doing both these is likely the cause.
Also, when you specify specific channels using the channels input are you also setting the "skip unsupported channels to false? If not this may be why it affects other channels.
I hope this helps, and if not please feel free to post back with an update after trying these things.
Cheers,
Brooks

JPA Metadata issue/ Weird Column error or bug in openjpa ...?

I am getting the following exception when using openjpa in my project.

Is there a particular reason why you are using openjpaActually it's been added recenlty to the system as before it was using normal JDBC Code...
In stead of the persistence provider shipped with your JEE container anyway?Do you mean that i should use the Oracle Weblogic 10.3 persistence provider...?
kindly suggest...

LR2 Metadata issues

Metadata questions in LR2. After working with this program for a few weeks, I have come across two questions involving the metadata function. First, I understand that if you do not set copyright data during the import process on a batch of photos, you should be able to batch add that data once in a catalog. I tried this on three occasions and ran into an issue that if you select all photos in the collection and choose the copyright template in the metadata panel, it does in fact add that data to each selected photo. I found however that doing that wiped out the star rating on all the selected photos. Did I miss a step? Second, I noted that on photos (.jpg) files that have copyright data set in the metadata file in LR2, when I look at the file properties in Photoshop 7, it does not show any of the metafile data, copyright as well. Does the metadata inserted in LR2 not actually embed into the .jpg file?

> Any thoughts on why the copyright data doesn't show in the file info in Photoshop 7 but is correct in LR2?
I guess that Photoshop is too old to interpret the embedded xmp metadata.

Repository Configuration Metadata issue for OBIEE11g

Hi,
I am having an issue while using RCU to created BI schema.
On database connection details wizard, after giving all details, on checking prerequisites, on Initializing repository configuration metadata, it gives an error:
The version 11.2.0.1.0 of the database that you are using is not a supported version or
The specified user may not have sufficient privileges to perform this operation. User should have sysdba or dba privileges.
But I successfully reached at Map Tablespaces step on previous attempt.
Only thing I change before re-running the RCU is, delete unwanted tablespaces.
On db connection details I am using user SYS and role SYSDBA.
Please, can anyone suggest to solve this.

Some where you might have to rename the PREFIX from DEV to DEV1 or some thing else.

Lightroom 6.1 TIFF metadata issue

I work in Adobe Lightroom to process photos and move them to MediaBin (4.6) to catalog and metatag; this is what my company uses for its photo library. Last week Adobe creative cloud prompted me to upgrade Lightroom; I was using 5.7, and the newest version is 6.1. In doing so, the captions and copyright information that I write in Lightroom are no longer showing up when they come in to MediaBin.
At first I thought the metadata was getting stripped following being exported from Lightroom (exported as TIFFs), but when looking at the files in photoshop, I can see all of the metadata is present. I then began a series of tests to try and figure this out.
I first moved a previously exported TIFF file from the previous version of Lightroom into MediaBin, and I could see the data that was embedded. MediaBin was working as it should.
Next, I took a file exported as a TIFF from the new Lightroom and moved it into MediaBin. I could not see the metadata, as expected. Then I downloaded it from MediaBin- as I would do to fulfill a photo request- and opened it in Photoshop. I was surprised- all the metadata was there! For some reason, MediaBin just couldn’t see it.
Finally, on a lark, I exported a file from the new Lightroom, but this time made it into a JPEG. When I moved this into MediaBin, I could see the metadata! I tried this with other file formats- DNG, PSD- and only the TIFF files show up minus their metadata.
What could cause this to happen, and only in TIFF form? I am under the impression that Metadata is just simple text information attached to a file, but I am confused that only in TIFF form do we have an issue.
Thanks!

It appears that this is caused by the same problem described here: Lightroom CC: JPEG format tripping up other programs. JPEGs and TIFFs use the same layout of metadata, and I confirmed that your TIFF has the same atypical layout as LR-produced JPEGs.
The issue is not that LR has a "bug" -- the TIFFs and JPEGs it produces strictly conform to industry standards. Rather, it's that there are many programs out there, evidently including HP MediaBin, that are buggy and don't conform to the standards and get tripped up by the atypical way that LR writes its metadata. Of course, Adobe can't change all such non-conforming programs, so LR users would very much prefer that LR go back to using a more typical layout of metadata.
Please add your vote and opinion (with details) to the bug report linked above. The more people complain, especially professional and commercial users, the more likely Adobe will prioritize a fix.

Metadata issues / problems...

Using LR 4.1, on Windows 7 Professional...
I am updating lots of photos and their metadata, all from within Lightroom. Most every time, it tells me there was an error writing metadata and I have a majority of my photos with:
- Metadata: Has been changed
1.) Why is this happening?
2.) Is there an easy way to force the write again (currently I have to select a few hundred at a time and hit "Save metadata to file". But that's extremely memory intensive...
Thanks,
John

Geoff,
I see the same message... Not to hijack the thread but add to the discussion for kk -- I have been working to move my catalog and images to a new computer so had to Update Folder location to make it see the drive. (more on this below in case it helps us figure out the permissions issue...) The badge with the exclamation point cascades through any folder I look at.
As part of figuring out why I was having trouble seeing the drive and folder in LR4.1 I looked at the permissions for the drive and Lightroom folder specifically. This top-level folder, which holds pretty much all my images, was set for "Everybody" to read and write. The whole drive is set to "Share" in Win7 Pro 64-bit.
Someone else brought up the idea that although the OS sees the drive, Lightroom might have a permission problem that keeps it from "seeing" or writing to the files. An ACL problem? I seemed to have made LR see the images but not connect the metadata consistently.
I always held my 60,000 images on a HD assigned "E:" so as part of the move to the new machine I copied EVERYTHING (under the control of the OS) from the old "E:" to a new hard drive. I then disconnected the old "E:" HD; I started LR for the first time I made sure that this new HD was assigned "E:", although that was a re-assignment. That's why I as hunting the permissions.
Forum user "Jasonized" brought up this Permissions issue with reference to ACLs so perhaps I will post this issue there, too.

Bridge labels cause metadata issue

It seems when I apply a color label in Bridge to a PSD file (let's say the yellow label, or even a star rating), then open that PSD file... edit it... then save it. I then look at it's metadata in Bridge and notice that the Copyright status went from "unknown" to "public domain." Does anybody know why this is happening?
Even more wacky is when I remove that label and reset the copyright status back to "unknown" in Bridge CS5. I then re-open the PSD file
, make a simple edit, and the save it. The copyright status in Bridge's meta panel goes from "unknown" to "public domain" once again.
I tried this on a friend's computer running CS4, and it does the same thing as well... so it does not seem to be an isolated issue to just my machine.
Thanks

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for your response. I am also noticing that when I create a new PSD CS5 file (let's call it "test.psd"), and then "place" a file that has a label or rating into test.psd, and then save test.psd... Test.psd's copyright status goes from "unknown" to "public domain."
I notice that this situation also happens a lot when I "edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom (when the image in LR has a label or star rating). I always have to check the saved file's meta to see what got messed up, which is really inefficient and cumbersome.
I agree with changing it in File -> File Info, but if I forget to do that every time I open and save this file, it goes back to "public domain." That's a really embarrassing thing for such a robust (expensive) piece of software to not be able to do correctly.
Thank you for responding!

Metadata issues - wrong cover art, missing ratings etc

Hi,
I just bought a new iPhone 4S and upon setting up Home Sharing, I noticed that when I connect to my shared library albums and movies are displayed with incorrect cover art. In addition, the watched / unwatched status (the blue dot) for movies is wrong.
When playing music tracks, no ratings are displayed on the iPhone.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour and do you know of a fix?

I am also having this issue, please fix this Apple, it all worked so well before the iOS5 update.
Ive tried fresh installs and restores yet home share video artwork is all messed up, and it seems completely random every time.The artwork shows fine when files are loaded locally onto my iPod touch 4G its only in Home Share that its wrong all the time and so annoying.

IDX2 IDoc Metadata issue

Hello,
We have created an IDoc and imported it in our XI system,it worked fine.
Then we changed the length of a field and reimported this IDoc,deleted the metadata in IDX2 and it is fine in development system.
The metadata is exactly same as the latest version of IDoc.
However,when we imported the same in our test system,in IDX2, for metadata,we can see this changed field appears two times,one with the old length and other with the changed length.
What could be the reason for this?
Has anybody encountered this problem?Kindly let us know.
Thanks.
Regards,
Shweta

Hi Rajesh,
We tried to delete the metadata using transaction IDX2 a number of times but every time it gets created with twice occurence of this field.
Also,this is fine in dev system and test R/3 system.
Problem only exists in test XI system.
We tried transporting again as well,but no luck.
Here,new changes are being picked up but older changes are not removed ,so we can see both versions for this field.
Any other areas to check?
Thanks.
Regards,
Shweta
