1.4.1 Windows: File is offline or missing

Some photos I want to work on in my catalog are giving me the offline or missing error message. I may have burned them to a CD, but I didn't mean to delete them when I did, just make a copy. I'm sure they're still in their original folder, but what is the best way to get them back into Lightroom? Thanks.

Ok. I located the folder in the folders panel and found it was in red, not white. I clicked on it and went to library but the synchronize option was grayed out so I'm kind of stuck at this point. Thanks for your help.

"File is Offline or Missing"???

Hello Gang,
Total newbie question here. Three days ago I loaded LR3 on my MacPro and imported some recent RAW files from Bridge CS3 and everything works perfect. Today I decided to retrieve some old RAW stuff that was languishing on an old Win 98 PC. I burned a CD-R via Roxio Drag and Drop of 600 of those older files. Before I started I made sure the disks were formatted so that my Mac could read them. I imported them into LR3 and everything looked solid. The Histograms were functional in the Develop mode and all tools were working fine. However, once I removed the disk to start working on the newly imported files I noticed that all of the pictures had a "?" attached to them along with a black dialog box across the top of the image stating "The file named CRW_0950.CRW is Offline or Missing." I can see the file picture fine in the Library, but once I switch to the develope module the histogram disappears and the tools will not function. If I load the disk again all the info returns. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I thought that once I imported the files I could start developing them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

you probably imported the pics in the database and left them fysically on the CD. Have a good look at the import dialogue. You can copy the files during import to a new location (your harddisk). For now copy the files with you OS to the harddisk. Than let LR update the old folder location to the new folder location. (right click, or menu Library find missing photo's)

Even though I can see my HDR image and it is in the Library in collections, when trying to move it I keep getting "offline or missing"

Being a beginner in Lightroom, What do I do about an image I can see and its in collections files in the library and develop but can,t be moved to desk top? I get a posting that "source file are offline or missing.....Thanks

Please read these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

Question about Windows File Explorer and offline attribute display

In previous releases of Windows (including Windows 8), Windows File Explorer would display a small "x" icon if the offline file attribute was set. In Windows 8.1, Windows File Explorer no longer displays the "x" icon if the offline
file attribute is set. Is there a reason this behavior was changed? Is there an option to get the old behavior of displaying the "x" icon?

Hello Ed Winn,
What ‘x’ icon do you mean?
Please share us the screenshots to compare.
Based on my test, I can’t find the ‘x’ icon in the offline folder both in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Best regards,

How do I get images from LR to windows file when it is saying they are offline or missing?

I loaded pictures to LR where I made some changes. They were jpegs. I deleted some in LR that went to recycle bin. Originals were in a windows file 2009-11-08. Since I did not see the LR changes in the windows pictures I decided to transfer LR images to the original file and opted to overwrite originals, might be a fatal mistake as it turns out, I am new to this. So now the originals are missing from the windows file but the images are still in lightroom but I cannot do anything with them other than view them in the library or slide show. I would like to put them back in the windows file for uploading to my blog and I am really hoping they are not missing as it tells me in lightroom. Can't see why they are missing if I am viewing them. Did try suggestion from support about adding parent file, then right clicking and locate can't remember exact procedure but I couldn't get it to work. I need help?? Thanks.

When exporting do not over write original files in the folder where your imported files are located. In fact I understood that LR had actually disabled this in more recent versions to prevent you doing exactly what you have done. So ensure you are running the latest version of the software (help, check for updates). over writing should only be done to folders of exported images (not those in the database). The whole point of LR is non destructive processing, that is your original files remain un changed by LR and changes are only applied to exported images.
What you need to do now is not re import but synchronise the folder. Right click (cttr click) on the affected folder in Lightroom and select synchronise folder. Check all the boxes and go ahead. This will import your exported images..as you have over written your originals unless you have backed them up then they are gone. If the are backed up, then move them into the folder using the OS file browser before synchronising.

How to access/open rpd files in offline mode from client desktop

Hi All,
Please tell me what configuration settings I need to have on my desktop to access RPD files stored on BI server?
In our OBIEE environment, we have BI server installed on linux server, and I have installed BI admin tool on my desktop (Windows OS).
I need to know what settings I should configure in my NQSConfig.ini file on my desktop so that I can access rpd files stored on BI server...
I can access online RPD using BI server ODBC connectibity, but want to access other offline RPD files stored in repository directory on linux server where OBIEE 11g server installation is done.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Saichand,
Highly appreciate your response.
But wht I am looking for is how to access other RPD files stored in repository folder on server machine where BI server is running, from BI administration tool which is installed on my desktop
I am able to access default online repository on BI server using ODBC configuration from BI admin tool on my desktop, but want to access other rpd files (lets say sample rpd files which are installed on BI server machine) using (file->open-offline) option.
As per Jay, it seems it is not possible to access repositories other than online repository on BI server, and I will have to copy those rpd files on my desktop and then access using file->open->offline option in BI admin tool.
If you have any other way of doing this or have done this somehow , please let me know.
Thanks and Regards

Best way to move Onenote files from offline file location.

We have a majority of our users now on Win 7 using Office 2010.
We have redirected folders with offline files syncing Included in this location is the OneNote files.
After starting to investigate Win 8.1 Update 1 and office 2013. We noticed the message OneNote 2013 throws up about issues with having OneNote files included in the Offline files location (The first version to offer this message). And have started to notice
issues with users OneNote files corrupting etc.
Almost certainly from the Offline files syncing and OneNote's own in built cache\syncing abilities.
We investigated excluding *.one files from offline syncing but quickly eliminated this because users then wont be able to create any further *.one files in this location.
My two questions are-
1) How bad could the issues with corruption of OneNote files get if they stay in their current location? We are concerned the more our users get to know how useful OneNote is the more issues we will get.
2) Is there an easy way to move the OneNote files to another network location for multiple users with least disruption to them as possible?

To move the notebook, take one of the following actions:
From On the File menu, click Share, and then click
Copy this notebook to OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) or SharePoint.
Right-click the notebook, click Properties, and then click
Change Location.

Looking for Windows files on a Mac

On my Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 when starting a existing project I get a message about a file the program is not able to load.
So it asks me to point the location. The question is as follows: Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
I'm using a Mac and when I search for the file it's not on my computer.
It's looking for a file in a curtain folder.
Could you give an advise what to do?

Hello A.T. Romano,
I’m using Adobe Premiere Elements 12
Version 12.1 (20140225.12.1.620828)
I get the message when opening an already made project in which I added a Title.
In the ones without a title I don’t get the message.
So it is something connected to the use of titles.
I used RedBulbs as a title.
When I click ‚Skip’ or Offline my project opens correctly and I don’t miss any media. Even the title part is OK.
I hope this describes the problem enough and hopefully you can give me some advise.
Best regards,
Rob de Ridder

What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer?
Do you ever get this
Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
when you open a new project or do you get this message only when you go to open an existing project?
If only for existing projects, then please tell us if this existing project was created with title templates and/or Instant Movie themes.
If so please detail.
If you click "Skip" to the "Where is the file....?" message, does your project open without problem? And if so, do you see any missing media
displays in the workspace? And if so where?
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

Question about change in Windows File Explorer in 8.1

Windows File Explorer in Windows 8 (and previous releases) would display an icon if the file had the offline attribute set. Windows 8.1 File Explorer does not show an "offline" icon if the file's offline attribute is set. Is there
a way to set at option to get File Explorer to display this icon?

Media files suddenly offline - Pro CS3

I was hoping someone would be able to help my figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
Here's the problem:
Yesterday when I saved my project, everything was fine. This evening when I loaded the project, several, in fact most, of the video files are offline.
I have not moved or deleted anything on the harddrive.
Premiere does not ask me to locate the files upon loading the project.
In the Project window, all the clips play fine in preview and will display in the source monitor.
The videos on the Timeline do show thumbnail images of the clip.
The videos nevertheless show up as offline in the Timeline and will export only as the default offline image.
I have an automatic save of the same project in which everything is fine, but about an hour of work will be lost if I have to resort to that.
Any ideas?
Edit: One thing I did change since I saved my project. I uninstalled divx 7 and installed an older version, 6.8, because the newer version was affecting certain programs negatively. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but in the interest of providing as much data as possible, I thought I should mention it.

Since nobody answered, I was left to my own ingenuity. I found a solution, so I thought I'd leave it for posterity.
- Go to the Edit menu.
- Choose 'select all'
- Right click on the timeline, where all is selected now
- There should be a check beside 'enable.' Click that.
- All is now disabled.
- Right click again. And choose enable again.
- Now all is enabled and all the content is online again.

Windows File CS Content Crawler - How to change crawl method?

Hi,
I have encountered an odd issue. I am using a Windows File CS Content Crawler to pull in some PDF files from a remote folder.
However I noticed the Windows File CS Content Crawler is crawling in the document title rather than the actual PDF filename.
I have checked the admin screens and I cannot find any way to tell my Windows File CS Content Crawler portlet to grab filenames and use these as the file display name when crawled in.
The business clients do not use the document title and meta features and will not use them in the future so the way the current Windows File CS Content Crawler portlet crawls documents into the portal will not work as most will not have a document title or will have some default internal name.
For example the PDF documents I am crawling in have Document Title's that have no relevance to the document filename.
We are only interested in the filename and not the document title (however we may use the field in the future for meta information). Apart from doing some development work to make a custom crawler is there any other way to change the behaviour of the Windows File CS Content Crawler.
I had to go into each document property in portal and modify the name field to the correct filename as it was using the value found in the Document Title field (incorrect).
This seems wrong to me, I can understand using the meta data information contained in files to do the crawling and make searching better however how do you do this with a PDF file that you cannot search against inside portal anyway?!

You can acomplish by changing the Global Document Property Map.
I don't have the specific screen in front of me so this is from memory.
Change the Name property to File name
Change the Title property to File name
You might have to experiment a bit with some test documents.

Bridge(CS3) conflict with Windows file explorer

Bridge will crash on me at least twice a day. I use Bridge and Windows file explorer simultaneously copying and moving files across a network. When Bridge quits I sometimes lose my network connection and have a lot of trouble re-connecting.
I have done the usual delete preference, trash cache etc., nothing seems to be working.

Not sure what is going on there, but have a suggestion. You are increasing your odds of Bridge crashing, and trashing the cache, if you move too fast. When in Bridge wait for the spinning arrow in lower left corner to stop (it is building the thumbs) before changing folders.
Don't see any correlation between network connection and Bridge crashing. Perhaps if you have a slow computer you are overloading it with tasks and it can not keep up. Minimize programs running at same time.
Also, run task manager and see what the processor is doing. If CPU useage goes up markedly that will confirm the problem.

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." ?

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." I am in the process of importing photos from iPhoto (don't really know what I'm doing....) and when I look at one of the imported photos that message pops up. I know what "DSC_0088.jpg" is. I don't know what it means that the file is "missing".

CASpyr,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have a couple of bigger issues that I am dealing with: too many photos on my laptop: 40,000! (Of course I have to throw away many of them, but that is time consuming). I have a MacBook Pro and have primarily used IPhoto. I have recently purchased 2 external drives and have transferred my photos to those, but I need a basic education about how photos are stored, copied, etc. I have recently been told that iPhoto only shows and deals with jpegs, not RAW. About 1/3 of my photos are RAW, so I purchased Lightroom, so I could do more with those RAW photos. I have been told by my local Mac store that I need to delete most of my photos from iPhoto, because it's causing problems. I am reluctant to do so until I am sure that all of the keywords, descriptions and editing I have done to these photos is not lost when deleted from iPhoto. I just watched a tutorial about importing to Lightroom and got out of it that I needed to copy photos from iPhoto to a file on my desktop and then copy to Lightroom. I did that, it seemed to work. Then (because of my storage/memory issues) I deleted the photos (just a few as an experiment) from that desktop file. I'm guessing that is why Lightroom doesn't recognize the the photos. It seems that (learned from another tutorial) that one uses "Add" , Lightroom is only connecting to the source of the photo, not actually copying it to the program. Sounds like I need to use the "Move" feature instead. My ultimate goal is to store the photos on the 2 external drives and eliminate most of them from my lapop. So my basic questions have to do with what data (metadata??) is copied from iPhoto to an external drive (RAW???) and what isn't copied. Basic understanding issues,obviously…. I hope this isn't too much to ask. If you can recommend a book or resource that can explain those basic issues to me I'd appreciate it. I just got back from a trip and I can't download my new photos until I manage the rest!
Thanks,
Nancy

Can I partition a hard drive so that one partition is for windows files and the other is for time machine backups?

I have a 1TB WD passport that currently contains windows files e.g photos, documents, etc. Can I partition it so that one partition contains these files and the other partition is used for time machine backups? Also, how do I change the partition system on the hard drive so that it uses the GUID partition system?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can, though you need to format and partition the drive from the scratch.
1) back up your PC data on other drive.
2) partitioning your drive into 2 partitions with Disk Utility.
3) format one partition by Mac OS extended (journaling) for Time Machine, the other by exFAT for PC data.
4) restore PC data on exFAT partitioned drive.

Query on integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

hi
I have sucessfully integrated windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV. I have query in it regarding the possible validation against the portal Database user. Can we configure such that the user comparison happens for LDAP as well as database user. Have anyone configured such a scenario?
Regards,
Ganesh N

Hi Ganesh,
this should work in principle.
However you would need a user in Active Directory for each user in the portal database that should connect to the file server if you are using the SSO22KerbMap Module as I assume.
In my whitepaper I have mentioned this for the internal user index_service that does only exist in the portal database.
Best regards,
André
