Why is there missing EXIF metadata after merging aperture libraries?

I had an old library and a new library. All metadata and files were fine in the respective libraries.
After importing one into the other, I am missing all EXIF metadata like Camera, Lens, ISO, Aperture, Focal Length.
Anyone experience this problem or have any ideas?

FIXED!
I waited this long for a simple fix:
Select all the photos, control-click on a photo and select Update from Original.

  • Unsupported image format after merging aperture libraries

    I've experienced a large number of files with 'unsupported image format' after merging aperture libraries from separate external hard drives.  I did not have this problem in either library prior to merging them.  Can anyone advise how to rectify this issue?  Thanks

    Try running  library repair on the merged library and see if that helps.
    To run the repair open Aperture while holding the option and command keys down. Select Repair from the menu.
    Post back if you still have the problem.

  • Missing Exposure EXIF Metadata After RAW Conversion

    I am running Photoshop CS6 on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC.  Since upgrading from CS5 I have noticed that the Exposure EXIF metadata as viewed in Bridge vanishes after RAW conversion/adjustment of my images.  I've read at least one other posting to the forums describing a similar situation, however, I've not seen an acknowledgement of an issue or bug in Bridge.  Clearing the RAW conversion settings restores the missing EXIF metadata.

    As far as hardware restrictions, the only one I can think of is that you certainly need enough free space on your hard disk to accomodate the masters from your Aperture library.
    IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations.

  • I merged Aperture libraries, Now I have a duplicate library!

    I recently bought and 'am starting to work my way through "Aperture 3" Apple Pro Training Series, book.  In the course of attempting to merge the "sample" library with my already established Aperture Library, I now find that I have achieved this, but I also have 2 identical libraries, Projects, Pictures, Folders, everything, that appear when I open Aperture!  Is there a way to 'delete' one of these without doing damage to the other?  Thanks, Vic

    I have one library with everything duplicated in it.
    Then the merging did not recognize the original image files as duplicates. Apertures notion of duplicate is very limited - only files with everything identical (name, size, format) are considered to be duplicates.
    There is no built-in feature to detect and remove duplicates. You will need to do it manually, and frankly, it might be easier to restore the previous version of your library (before you merged) from the backup and to start from there again.
    But if you have invested to much additional work already, create a backup before you start deleting.
    It is hard for me to give advice on what you can delete and what not, since I cannot know exactly, how you did merge the libraries and what you see as duplicates.
    You cand delete projects, if you see a second project that contains similar images. Compare the resolutions of the images and the states of the edits, to be sure to keep the best versions with your recents edits, when you delete the duplicates. Be careful not to mistake images in an albums as duplicates of images in project. The gray icons in the library Inspector can easily be confused.

  • Possible to Merge Aperture Libraries?

    My wife and I each have our own aperture libraries that we edit photos with on separate computers. Is there a way to merge these? A good majority of the photos are duplicates, so I don't want to just export all of one and import them into the other.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Sorry but I am unclear on the question. What, exactly, do you mean by merge?
    If you want to synch two Libraries, Aperture does not currently allow that. It sounds like you want a multi-user system, and in the area of DAM such systems typically cost 10x what a single user system costs so be careful what you wish for.
    However, IMO a single-user two-computer solution is badly needed. Go to "Feedback" under the Aperture menu and ask Apple to formally faciltate the synching of a laptop and a desktop computer.
    Your best workaround may be to create and share Projects between the two computers.
    Good luck!

  • Why is there missing info in the windows address book fields after syncing iphone 4 contacts?

    I am reaching the end of my rope trying to deal with syncing/backing up contacts and other "non copyright protected" content from my iphone 4 and my desktop (and preferably my laptop as well).  I've spent literally days trying to solve this problem with ultimately no solution.  So, cutting through my MULTIPLE issues and focusing on one primary I need help backing up my contacts from my iphone 4 to ANY computer.  Here is what I am working with:
    A relatively ancient (5yrs) Window XP desktop with virtually no contacts in Windows Address Book and with only the native Outlook Express on it.
    An iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 that was initially and is still setup/synced with the above XP box (minus checking the sync contacts box).
    An iphone 4 contact list that is primarily populated by about 200 contacts transfered from an old ATT SIM from the previous ancient phone.
    A new Windows 7 laptop that I would love, love, love to use in conjuction with the XP for syncing/backing up not protected, personal data and iphone purchases.
    So, with that in mind I have been syncing my phone with the XP w. the "manual manage music..." box checked and all other syncing options other than apps unchecked.  I wanted to backup by contacts for emergency recovery and to allow sycncing for the increasing business contacts.  Should be easy right?  Not so much.  I tried clicking the "sync contacts w/ windows address book" option and then synced.  I go to WAB and the contact list is there.  However, if I look w/in each contact the fields are not filled in.  If it was a contact that had name, number, address on my phone the WAB version has the name listing but nothing in the number/addy fields.  Now, this is true w/ virtually every contact and most were from that SIM transfer.  HOWEVER, contacts that I added ON the iphone (ie manually w/ the phone) DO have complete information.
    So, what do I do to make an actual, complete backup of all the contacts on my iphone w/o having to manually reinput all of the real information??  I'm frankly terrified that in trying multiple solutions I will lose all my phone contacts which at this point in my life would be absolutely devistating (ie I would probably lose my job).  If it is a matter of newer hard/software I would gladly sync to the new Win 7 laptop instead but there I run into the other aggrivation of apple making it so bloody difficult to use one ios device with more than one personal computer.  I'm dumbfounded and frustrated on soooooo many levels and would send countless good vibes to anyone who can help!   Advice?  Solutions?  I'd promise my first born but who wants that these days...?  Help, please! ;-)
    BTW, sorry for the long wind but I'll add on my "optimal solution" if anyone is feeling especially helpful and has an answer:
    I'd like to be able to plug my iphone into both my XP desktop and my Win 7 laptop and sync/backup to both freely (that is after all the real intent of syncing, non?)  I don't care about music, videos, or other protected content.  I manage that manually and frankly, I can do without having on the iphone as long as I can accomplish being able to sync/backup/restore all the iphone stuff like apps, settings, personal info, and contacts to both the desktop and the laptop.  The purpose is that I need to be able to use and recover everything (on the road or at home) if either my laptop or my iphone dies/disappears.  But, understanding impermanence as it relates to portable devices, I want a solid backup of everything at home waiting on my desktop.  Is that really too much to ask apple??? 

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • Why is some text not shown after merging multiple documents

    One of my clients is using Adobe Acrobat XI and they are merging multiple PDF documents (up to 1000 single PDF's!) to create one big PDF document.
    But somehow just some parts of the text are not shown after the merging (it is actually still there because you can copy and paste it in to Word and you will see it again)?
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Wunold van Drunen,
    Since you have identified the problematic pages, have you checked if the issue occurs with the same pdf when merged with a smaller number may be 10 pdfs.
    How are these pdfs created? It might be possible that the said document's pdf structure is incorrect.
    You may want to sanitize the said pdf's before combining and check.

  • Missing Exif Metadata in Version 1.4.1

    It seems as if not all possible metadata fields show up in the metadata panel. Specifically, I do not see an EXIF/Image field called Image Description.
    I added data to this field in a different application (ACDSee) but it does not show up when I import the photos into Lightroom. I've able to see Image Description in two other applications (XnView and Olympus Master) so I know it is not unique to ACDSee.
    I'd be OK with using the Caption field to hold the value from Image Description, but I do not know how to copy Image Description to Caption. I use this field in slide shows.

    Hi Linda,
    Just delete the code below and replace with "return new ConfigurationExcluderDoclet();". There is absolutely no need to initialize HtmlDocWriter.configuration in your configuration() method. This field is now initialized in the constructor, as it should be. If you need to access the configuration in your doclet, use Standard.configuration, not HtmlDocWriter.configuration. Your doclet should inherit the configuration from class Standard.

  • Missing EXIF data after editing picture

    Hi,
    I've noticed that PSE 12 editor no longer writes the EXIF data from the original image.
    I believe this started after upgrading to the most recent version of PSE 12 via Help -> Updates
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Mike
    Before:
    After:

    1/ to answer your question:
    I don't have any user generated tags/kewords/captions on these historical pictures - but normal metadata (camera EXIF data) is showing up fine on flickr.
    2/ I went ahead and tried Jeffery Friedl's Flickr Lightroom publishing plugin - it works well and GPS data is correctly picked up by Flickr.
    so - unless anyone can demonstrate a working adobe flickr publishing setup with gps data I will assume it doesn't work and continue to use jeffery's.
    Thanks

  • Why is there jumping between shots after exporting to quicktime from FCP7?

    Working in FCP7, after exporting a self contained quicktime, there is jumping between shots.  I tried to remove the transitions, rerendered then re exported but the jumping is still there.  I can't figure out what's going on as it's not happening on all the sequence. Please help!!

    Hi Kippybop - sorry to hear you sharing this problem, but nope....still not sorted. 
    So far I've got all the frame rates matching sequence settings.  I've done two exports with and without transitions and there is still jumping between shots - however, it does seem to be shorter without the transition.  So whatever the problem is, is something to do with the beginning and end of clips and is made worse, and extended by adding transitions - but this doesn't apply to all clips which is really baffling.
    I've also made a new sequence and copied the original clips from the problematic sequence - still no change.  So the only impovement is the removal of video transitions, which is not exactly ideal.  I can watch the jumpy .mov on the 'finder' viewer full screen with no jumping, but all other media players show glitches between clips.
    I've done a grab of a clip and the sequence settings, which I think are correct, but please if there are any generous FCP7 experts reading, any suggestions are very much appreciated...

  • Why are there missing samples in Logic Express 9

    There are missing samples in Logic Express 9. All the pop horn samples and some of the string samples as well as some others. How do I get them back?

    That is a great suggestion. I DO have garageband installed also. When looking into the library there, I have a Sampler Instruments folder, in that is a few instuments (ie Grand Piano.exs, Hip Hop Kit.exs, Muted Electric Bass.exs, Rock Kit.exs, Steel String Acoustic.exs, Upright Jazz Bass.exs) and ANOTHER Sampler Instruments folder. And in that one, is ANOTHER Sampler Instruments folder, and that one is empty. Not sure if my screen grab will come through for you to see.
    So there is not much sitting in the Garageband Samper Instruments at all. And the mysterious multiple Sampler Instruments folder train.

  • Why is there a "slight delay" after start up??

    Hello all. Office PowerMac Quad 2.5, latest OS X.
    The Starting Up process (Blue Bar) is really fast, but after that when it comes to the Desktop, where the Top Menu Bar, Clock etc would start to appear, there will be this "clean page of a Desktop" before everything starts to appear in place, this can take a while.
    I did not use a stopwatch or anything, but that process is definitely "much slower" than my PB 12" and my home iMac G5, both of them after starting up, the Desktop "items" would almost sequentially starts to appear (in place), no much delay.
    I would also like to point out a while ago, I thought I had some problems with my G5 that I trashed away the entire Cache folders found in the main Library and the other User's folder, I think.
    Thanks and cheers

    Sorry to repeat myself, but try OnyX "automation" followed by a reboot, it might be a corrupt ds_store file or something else.
    At least the "do it all" cocktail of OnyX may catch the problem.

  • Why is there large used space after erasing external drive with disk utility?

    I just used disk utility to erase a 2 TB external hard drive. After erasing it, it shows that the disk has 12 folders, 62 files, and 852 mb of used space. I thought the "erase" function is supposed to format the disk? Where does the large used space come from?
    By the way, the disk used to formatted as a windows disk. I suspect it has something to do with it but have no idea what. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    HI - i do not think this is purely metadata. (though it could be with your windows disk with such small used memory) i have a 1TB macbook pro drive that i have tried to reformat
    METHOD 1 (recommended by advanced Apple Techy) - select hard drive (not partition) select mac os (journalled) and press 'apply' - "this will format drive removing all data. it is always best to work with the drive and not partition, if you are formatting an entire drive."
    result at end - drive still shows single partition 999GB WITH 668GB USED
    METHOD 2 (after response from Apple techy) - select hard drive and mac os (journalled), press secure erase and select 'write zeros' takes 12 hours
    result at end - drive still shows single partition 999GB WITH 668GB USED

  • Why is there extra white space after exporting to JPEG?

    What about the Artboard, is that aligned to the Pixel Grid (it is if the size is a whole number of points/pixels and one corner is at X=Y=0 or another set of integer values, otherwise not)?
