Why are my ratings missing when I import files into Lightroom?

Files that I have previously rated with stars in Bridge appear in my Lightroom catalog after DNG conversion without them. I am having to select all the images and use the 'Update DNG Preview and Metadata' command after ever import. Interestingly, this did not used to occur. What preference do I need to reset?
Bridge CS3 and Lightroom 1.3 on a Mac

I'm still not sure I understand. When you say the develop module changes every picture, do you mean adjustments get applied? In LR4, the "Basic" panel (top right in Develop module) all the sliders are zero (centred) unless adjustments have been applied. If they're not centred, then maybe an auto adjustment has been applied? See Jim's post above.
Also, in Edit menu, Settings, Presets tab, make sure "Apply auto tone adjustments" is NOT checked.
If you want the pictures to look the way the camera jpegs look, then apply a "Camera..." profile. In Develop module, bottom right, "Camera Calibration" panel, there's a drop-down adjustment "Profile:". The default is probably "Adobe Standard". A better match for the Canon picture profiles is to choose "Camera standard", "Camera neutral" etc. These match closely the equivalent profiles in Canon cameras (Standard, Neutral etc).
Lightroom can't read what was set in the camera, but you have to apply this in Lightroom. However you can automate it by creating develop presets (see the help). You can apply presets when you import images. When you import, there's a "Apply During Import" panel to do this.

Importing Files into Lightroom 4.1 (Win) Stopped Working

Okay, I am at my wits end as I am no longer able to import any new files into Lightroom. I was in the middle of an import and all of a sudden it stopped and the program hung. I am running Win 7 64 with an i7 with 12 gigs of RAM. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom multiple times (Using both the windows installer and via Lightroom and then searched to see if there were any orpne files on my drive. ) , did a system restore to a point about a month ago, tried importing a simple jpeg file from the hard drive as well as CR2 files (Canon) and even DNG files. Also tried setting up a new catalogue with no success. Plenty of hard drive space and no drive errors. . There is nothing wrong with the files as I can open them in Photoshop. I can see the files on the import screen though they are not always rendered. When I choose import it just starts, says Importing files... and hangs. When I finally give up, and I have waited an hour or more, and kill the process I get the message - No photos or videos were found to import. Other tidbits. Takes a long time to be able to select files to import from the import screen. System seems to run for some time before I can select or deselect (If this were a Mac it would show a beach ball during this wait) Each time I quit or try to change catalogues it asks for the weekly backup (my default) even though I backed it up sometimes as recently as within the past 10 minutes and those backups appear to be valid and in the directory. Every other feature, including Export seems to work I just can no longer import files. I am open to any and all suggestions I am not a LR novice and pretty knowedgable about the Win operating system.

Thanks, but that did not help. HOWEVER, after an hour on the phone with support this morning I, meaning we, have resolved the problem. It appears to be a problem with my WIndows 7 User Account. I created a new Administrator User Account and everything works fine. Now I am going to troubleshoot my original user account to see if I can repair it or, (A) Use this new account for Lightroom and Photoshop or (B) move all my preferences to this new user account. Things were so much easier in the C: Prompt/Registry world but, of course, that was when I still had a darkroom and not a Lightroom.

Why are Java SASLFactories missing when called via PL/SQL but not from JRE?

Hi
This may be quite a technical point about SASL and JCE Providers etc OR it may just be a question about how Oracle PL/SQL interfaces with Java.
The background is that I am trying to get a Java opensource library to run in Oracle DB - this is for specialized communication from Database to other servers.
The library uses a SASL mechanism to authenticate with the server and this (appears) to rely on JCE Providers installed and provided by the JRE.
I have some Java code working which uses the library - this runs OK in NetBeans/Windows environment and also using Linux/Oracle JRE directly such as:
  +# $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -classpath "./MyMain.jar:./OtherSupport.jar" package.TestClient+
However it refuses to work (throws a NullPointerException) when called from PL/SQL.
  +FUNCTION send_a_message (iHost IN VARCHAR2,+
     iPort IN NUMBER,
    +iLogin IN VARCHAR2,+
    +iPasswd IN VARCHAR2,+
     iRecipient IN VARCHAR2,
     iMessage IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
   AS LANGUAGE JAVA
   NAME package.TestClient.sendATextMessage(java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) return int';
In the Java code this is:
   public static int sendATextMessage(String iHost,
     int iPort,
     String iLogin,
     String iPasswd
     String iRecipient,
     String iMessage)
I've tracked the issue down to there being no SaslClientFactories (via Sasl.getSaslClientFactories()) showing when called from PL/SQL whereas 3 are available when run from within Java directly. This via:
   Enumeration<SaslClientFactory> facts = Sasl.getSaslClientFactories();
   System.out.println("Found Sasl Factories [" & (facts != null) & "] size[" & Collections.list(facts).size() & "]");
So, is there some aspect of Java initialisation that I'm missing when calling from PL/SQL (which means SASL factories aren't getting loaded into JRE) or is there something different in SASL setup?
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Ok, after a bit of reading and general hacking about I have got this working.
What I hadn't initially understood/remembered is that for a Stored Procedure the JVM installed on file system with Oracle isn't actually used - java code is loaded into the database and hence a different set of base functions are available. The following is a good explanation of this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14117_01/java.101/b12021/appover.htm#BGBIBDAJ
So "out of the box" the Oracle Database appears to come loaded with only two of the Sun security providers i.e. no com.sum.security.SASL
>
OBJECT_NAME             OBJECT_TYPE     STATUS   TIMESTAMP
com/sun/security/auth/NTSid  JAVA CLASS    VALID   2013-02-14:14:08:57
com/sun/security/jgss/GSSUtil    JAVA CLASS    VALID   2013-02-14:14:08:57
>
This is from:
>
SELECT
  object_name,
  object_type,
  status,
  timestamp
FROM
  user_objects
WHERE
  (object_name NOT LIKE 'SYS_%' AND
   object_name NOT LIKE 'CREATE$%' AND
   object_name NOT LIKE 'JAVA$%' AND
   object_name NOT LIKE 'LOADLOB%') AND
   object_type LIKE 'JAVA %' AND
   object_name LIKE 'com/sun/security%'
ORDER BY
  object_type,
  object_name;
>
My solution (which may well be a work-around) is the following:
1) Downloaded JDK Source and extracted "com.sun.security.sasl" java code to my project
2) Added following code to my Stored Procedure ()
>
Enumeration<SaslClientFactory> saslFacts = Sasl.getSaslClientFactories();
if (!saslFacts.hasMoreElements()) {
  System.out.println("Sasl Provider not pre-loaded");
  int added = Security.addProvider(new com.sun.security.sasl.Provider());
  if (added == -1) {
    System.out.println("Sasl Provider could not be loaded");
    System.exit(added);
  else {
    System.out.println("Sasl Provider added");
>
3) Built my JAR file with the sasl package embedded (note: could only find Java 6 code, so had to comment out some GSS lines - but wasn't intending to use these)
4) Loaded JAR to oracle via "loadjava".
5) Add permissions (only found this out after a couple of failed runs)
>
call dbms_java.grant_permission('XMPP', 'SYS:java.security.SecurityPermission', 'putProviderProperty.SunSASL', '' );
call dbms_java.grant_permission('XMPP', 'SYS:java.security.SecurityPermission', 'insertProvider.SunSASL', '' );
>
6) Run gives the following:
>
Sasl Provider not pre-loaded
Sasl Provider added
...etc...
>
It works!. I confess I'm not sure of the implications of this for multiple calls/performance and if it will need to be added for each stored procedure call - may post back.
For completeness I should point out that after my load the Security providers look like this:
>
OBJECT_NAME             OBJECT_TYPE     STATUS   TIMESTAMP
com/sun/security/auth/NTSid    JAVA CLASS    INVALID  2013-02-15:09:11:36
com/sun/security/jgss/GSSUtil    JAVA CLASS    INVALID  2013-02-15:09:11:37
com/sun/security/sasl/Provider    JAVA CLASS    VALID    2013-02-15:10:03:21
>
i.e. the original couple are "INVALID" !

Importing files into Lightroom 4

I have been using Lightroom 4 without a problem. Suddenly it refuses to import files from any source: my camera, a card reader or the hard disk.
What can I do? I have reinstalled the software from the original disk, but it still will not import images.

What happens when you try to import? Is there an error message? If so, please quote it word-for-word.
Is this a new computer? Are you using a new camera? Are the photos JPG or RAW? Please give us details.

Help with importing files into Lightroom 3.2

Nothing has changed on my Mac for a year, except installing Lightroom 3 two months ago. I have had no issues importing till yesterday. Imported 300 .CR2 files, installed another card into my card reader and it will not import the files from the same camera, same shoot, done same day.
I have tried to copy the files over to my hard drive and import from there. Failed again.
I can open the files in Camera RAW and convert them to PSD files on a different drive and they still will not import from there.
Any suggestions out there/
I am begging to hate LR3 more and more and more every day.

Copy the files from your card reader or camera to your Mac then import the files into Lr. You can configure Lr to import where to a new location or leave them were they are.

Why are my photos desaturated when I export out of Lightroom 5 and editing with VSCO Film filters?

I have been excited working with VSCO Film presets, however when I apply them and go to export out of Lightroom 5 on my Windows 8 computer, my images are previewing very desaturated and muted in color. Some images are below. I thought it was a Color SPace issue, but when exported as sRGB as well as in its original space of Adobe RGB1998 it is still desaturated. Any help?? In Lightroom the colors are right, but my preview application is different.
Thank you!

Screenshot of Lightroom preview on Left and Pictures preview on the Right.

Hi ssprengel,
Here's some clarification:
Here's a screenshot of my raw image in lightroom without any presets:
Here is a screenshot of my raw image with the presets (the way I want it to look upon export):
Here is a of the jpeg exported out of LR:
(on my screen the jpg looks like what it should when I attach it, but I know once I post this it will not look like it. That's something I noticed when I posted my question previously)
I took you suggestion and re-imported the sRGB exported JPEG and it looks like how it is supposed to be with the correct saturation. Here's a screenshot of the jpeg reimported.
Here is a screenshot comparing the LR5 preview to the Photos preview on Windows 8. The LR5 (left) is more saturated, the correct way I want it:
I cannot use Windows Photo Viewer because this is how my photos look like in it:
Hope this all makes sense! Thank you so much in advance!

Why are my photos blurry when I upload them into a collage (PSE)?

This never happened with my old camera.....this is the first time I tried it using pics I had taken on my new Nikon.
Any ideas how to upload clear pics?
Kim
(not sure how this forum will notify me of any answers-so could those who answer-please e-mail me at: [email protected] Thanks.)

The screenshot would have made a comparison possible if it showed the image both in the browser and in Photoshop.
Again:
What Color Space are the images in?
Do you embedd the ICC Profile when saving?

How can I import files into Lightroom 3 from Photoshop elements 8?

I just installed Lightroom 3 and bypassed the option to import my pics from Photoshop elements 8 (to see what other options were available). Lightroom advanced a page and there seems to be no way to return to the previous page, I've closed the page & reopened a few times.
I cannot locate where PSe8 stores it's files either so that is not an option. How do I reset lightroom to import my old files? Thank you.
I also see "upgrade files" but have no idea what this means & don't see an explanation; a simple definition would be great. Thanks again!

Thanks Beat, I first had to make up a name for a new group then it opened Lightroom so I could do as you suggested - sucess!

Bridge not importing files into After Effects

From AE I go to File > Browse in Bridge...
Bridge opens up and I find the file I want. If I double click the file, an AI for instance, it opens the file within Illustrator. I could find, double click it, and it opens in Photoshop.
I feel as though I'm missing how to import files into After Effects by using bridge.
I'm running CC 2014 on a Win 7 machine.

Probably an issue with whatever created the files in the first place. WMV doesn't have Alpha, but can have multiple streams... anyway, AE is crap at dealing with such stuff, so convert it using an external tool like Handbrake or whatever...

Why are the movies I took on my iPad long and skinny with black edges when I import them into iMovie

I took several short video clips on my iPad and when I imported them into iMovie they are long and skinny with black on both sides. My other movies from my camcorder fill the frame. How can I convert them to be full frame. They are .mov format from the iPad?

From what you describe, you probably held your iPad vertically rather than horizontaly when you shot your movie.
The picture in iMoive is a rectangle oriented horizontally, so it's showing your vertical movie as large as it can.
If you cropped your vertical picture to fit the horizontal ratio of iMovie you'd have to cut off a lot of the picture.
Soeone even made a mock PSA about this subject.

Hi,
The 'features' you refer to are not anything that a customer should really care about, so why don't you just turn them off.
Do you really care about "Location-based iAds" - I've hardly ever even seen iAds!
Do you really care about the time-zone updating based upon your international location - unless you are a very frequent traveller, this 'feature' is pretty useless and can be turned off without losing functionality that matters.
The specific features to turn off are indicated in my post above - they are all in one place, they can all be turned off in about 20 seconds, and your problem will go away, and you will not lose any important functionality.
Obviously I would agree with your point if you had to refrain from using the phone or making text messages, or playing games, or taking photos... all of which are genuinely useful features of a phone.
But I disagree with you that you should deny yourself reasonable battery life on the basis that you need the specific features that made you buy this "Apple product and not an Android one" when these features are in fact not first-line, or even-second line features... they are just 'things' that make very little difference to how a person would use their iPhone at all.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. Yes of course it would be great if Apple could fix the bug but as it isn't showstopping, I find it hard to get worked up about it

When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newsletter in Pages? How can I delete one without the other?

Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newletter? How do I delete one without the other?

They are all part of one Section. Just as you do not (hopefully) rip pages out at random from books, the pages of a Section are linked by the text that flows from one to the other.
If you want to move or delete particular page/s Insert a Section Break at the end of the page before.
