Albums missing images yet .apalbum files contain their references

I have a project with about 4,000 color transparency scans. I organized the slides into about 150 albums in December 2006. I recently discovered that sometime between then and now (several Aperture version upgrades) about 1/3 of the albums (seemingly a random assortment) contain no images. However the images still exist in the parent project.
If I look in the .apalbum files of the empty albums I see an array of versionUuids which correspond to the missing images. If I search for those versionUuids in the appropriate .apimportgroup directory I can find the name of the image files. Using a manual search and rescue I can reconstruct the albums.
I'm looking for a way to get Aperture to reconstruct the albums itself - saving the time it will take for me to do it manually. I've tried rebuilding the library by launching Aperture and holding down CMD-OPT. I've also tried the more severe method of removing the Aperture.aplib directory and ApertureData.xml file and then rebuilding the libraries. Neither restored the albums.
Are there any other tricks that might get Aperture to reconstruct the albums?
Thanks

I am not expert in these, but please check out the following things and see whether it would solve your issue. (All these changes can be easily rolled back in case I'm wrong :). So make note of what you do)
As per your httpd.conf, you have chosen an automatic configuration of Apache by OWCI installer itself. What it does is create an imageserver.conf file in a separate directory and these settings will be included in your httpd.conf as you can see in the first line: Include "C:/bea/alui/plumtreeconf/".
If you check the imageserver.conf in that location, you would find a line like: Alias /imageserver/ "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/". This aliases the original path "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/" to /imageserver"
To confirm whether this is done right, check the following:
1. Acces 'http://<server ip / server name / localhost >/' from your browser
This should display the Apache home page (as per your httpd.conf, it uses the default port 80; so no port number required)
2. Access 'http://<server ip>/imageserver/' from your browser
This should display the directory structure (if its not disabled) inside your 'C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/' folder. Also confirm that all the subfolders are accessible.
3. If all the above is right, it means that your imageserver settings are right. Please check your portalconfig.xml for the correct settings: For example, <setting name="HTTPPort"> should be 7001 in your case. If its something else, change it and restart Weblogic for the settings to take effect.
Hope this helps.

Missing images in CHM file

I am generating CHM help for French, English, German and other languages using RH10. Each time I generate CHM file, images goes on missing from the final output . I could not locate images in Image folder of Project Manager although images are there in the default Test folder of the project.

Hi there
When you open your project, does RoboHelp issue any warnings about links or whatever?
When you open the topics in the editor, do you see the images there?
Sounds to me like that you have somehow inserted images from a location outside your project. You likely need to ensure all the images get copied into the project. To do this, just create a single topic. Then repeatedly insert images into that topic.
Cheers... Rick

Missing Images in swf file in dreamweaver

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me. I made a image slide show
in Flash (CS3) and wanted to put in in Dreamweaver (CS3). I
published the file in flash and went over to dreamweaver and did
the insert - media - flash command and added the .swf
When I test the movie, the buttons and the frame shows up but
not the images. Any ideas on why? When I test the html file, it
works fine. When I test the movie its self, it works fine too. Its
only when it is in the Dreamweaver file do the images disappear.
1. I have the required AC_RunActiveContent.js. file with my
swf.
2. I tried copying the code from the html file that was
generated by my swf, but when I test the file in dreamweaver, an
error comes up saying that i need the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
3. I have flash files on the site that work just fine, it is
just this one that is being stupid. I published it as flash version
7, 8 and 9. Nothing works.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I have created a folder and album where I've renamed the images, yet when I export them, the default to their original numbering. How can I block that so I can keep the newly renamed images as I've renamed them?

IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok

I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
Any ideas?

The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Album cover image missing in Itunes

Itunes added most of the album covers I have in my music library but some are still missing I have gone to google.com and clicked on images then searched for album cover images, chose a cover and saved to my desktop, but the image will not paste. What am I doing incorrectly? I have recently upgraded to I'11

Thank you, I found the answer on "More like this..." The step I was missing was clicking on file, then get info...I was able to paste my image.

Publish app in Beta 1 & Beta 2, contain missing images

I have noticed that when I publish a siena project in Beta 1 and now Beta 2, there seems to be missing images within the published folders.
This results in having to publish several times and validate that all images have been downloaded to the publish package.
I have over 400 images within several folders. I know that all image paths are correct as all show up in preview mode within siena. I have also validated each and every image in all folders, so I know the exact number that should
be in my publish package.
What I have found if an app contains many images, one has to ensure that all images are viewed (selected) within the app. I cannot just open the app that published correctly one day and make a small cosmetic change and then publish the app again
without validating that all images get published.
A good example is that I opened a siena project that i published and after several attempts the package contained all images (over 400+). I then opened the same siena project and saved it with a new name, added a rating control and timer
for animation. Please note that no other changes were made. I then published the package several times before I was successful in getting all images added to the published package.
I see the same issue in Beta 2.
William

Robin,
Sorry for the confusion. The embedded media is not the issue here. I have an excel data source that contains the links to the images. I can see the images within the project, data source, links are loaded into the collections, and all images
can be viewed within the project.
The issue occurs during the publishing phase. During publishing all the images should be downloaded into the publish package but they are not. I just opened the same project and published in Beta 2. I wanted to test this issue
in beta 2. I was missing over 40 files from the 400+.
Please note I did not close and reopen siena. The next step is that I went into preview mode within the same project, viewed each image from each gallery, then published. I then validated the published package subfolder and all 400+ images
were there.
Hope this it a little bit clearer.

I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

Hi
I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
Please help!!!!!!

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

Opening image files in their own windows in PS4

Before PS4, I could open image files in their own windows. In PS4, when I want to open more than one file, these open with tabs and any new file I open is added to the tab queue. It is annoying to right click on each tab so each file is in its own window. Is there a universal preference to change this annoying behavior?
Using a Windows environment with Photoshop CS4 Extended.

see the tabs setting in the preferences. you can turn that off.

Embedding "album cover" image in a video podcast file

I've created a video podcast and successfully submitted it to ITMS. The issue is that the individual episodes of my video podcast do not have cover art images associated with them. Instead, when I test subscribed to my video podcast, it generated an "album cover" for the podcast in a seemingly random fashion. For the first episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 6 of the .m4v file. and for the second episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 11 of the .m4v file.
So, I thought I would go into the .m4v file via QTPro and create an image metadata association like is done with ID3 tags in .mp3 files. However, I cannot find a away to do that.
Does anyone know how to embed an "album cover" image into a video podcast file (.m4v file)?
If I add an image to the file via iTunes Get Info>Art Work tab and then export it back to my server, will the added image stay embedded in the .m4v file so that when others subscribe to my video podcast they will see my selected "album" artwork for that episode?
You can view my video podcast at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=83434502

Super Mario:
You were correct. Adding album artwork through iTunes "Get Info>Art Work" tab and then exporting my video podcast file back out to my server did the trick. I tested subscribing to it and this time my video podcasts had the album artwork that I selected attached to them.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my sci-fi video podcasts. I'm currently working on a major overhaul of the website which will serve the fans of the series (if any). You can check it out in about two days at http://www.sayremedia.com.

HT2473 missing image files

what is the best way to reconcile the iphoto, aperture, and lightroom catalogues, to ensure that no files have been lost? my macbook pro (2008) quit on me recently and i think that i am missing image files now. also i should say that i am backing up my iphone to the machine and not the cloud.

i should also say that i am now using a 27 inch imac (2011)

Extracting album art images to file

I have posted a few times on how to update ID3 tags, including art work. Now I have a question that is quite the opposite.
Is there a way to extract album art images from iTunes or ID3 tags to save to a separate file? I know I can do it one image at a time using the Copy from "selected item" image, but is there a way I can do the entire library easier? 1080 albums covers would take too long.

Hi there,
A script is just a program that's still in a semi-readable format. To use it you should first download it to your computer. When the time comes to execute the script just double-click on it like you would any other program.
The discussion went off at a possible tangent after your initial post so it might be useful if we're clear about exactly what it is you want to achieve. Robert's original script requires that you select a number of tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script. When it runs it will save artwork with the same name as the track in the folder of each selected track. If you select multiple tracks from the same album then multiple images are produced. My modifed version saves the images as Folder.jpg and won't overwrite anything already there, i.e. at most one image produced per album. There was a minor error checking problem with the Robert's script which currently expects to run on iTunes 7.x but I'm guessing you'll be on 9.x by now. If you'd prefer his output format I can post an amended version. If neither script covers your needs explain exactly what it is you wish to achieve, e.g. if you want artwork for each album put into a single folder in the form *<Artist> - <Album>.<ext>* that would be quite easy to achieve.

Files in MOV-Container missing, although MOV is self-containing

Hello everybody,
I've got a strange problem here. We are capturing MPEG4-Files with a camera and cutting those files with quicktime pro (so that we don't have do re-encode those files in order to gain time). The files consist of a few MPEG4-Movie-Sequences (that are copy/pasted from the original files) and a small Signation-MPEG4 from the harddisk. Then the files are saved as self-contained quicktime-files and transfered to another computer.
But a few files will not contain the signation, although the moviefiles from the camera are in the container.
Is there a difference in Quicktime if a file is added by drag'n'drop, by "Insert" or "add to movie"?
I can't reproduce the problem (it comes up on a Mac and on Win with Quicktime 7.1.3) and it scares me
Thank you very much, i would appreciate your help.

Could it be a solution that the file is - during editing the video - "Saved As" a self containing movie... But afterwards, when the last file is insertet and when the video is finished just "Saved". Maybe if you save a video through "Save" (and not "Save as"), for new, added files just the references will be saved in a self contained-video.
Your thoughts?

Missing images in folders

Does anyone else have this issue:
Sporadically, a folder within my library will not display any of the images from that folder. Usually it happens during intense processor usage. For instance, when I geotagged 500 photos, the computer gave me the beachball then the images were missing from their folder. When I place my cursor over the folder with the missing photos, it still tells me how many versions there are, but no images actually show up in the browser. If I go to the main library folder, I can find all of the 'missing' images.
The only way I've been able to make the images visable in a folder is to create a new folder, then drag and drop all of the images from my main library into the new folder.
Is this a known problem and are there any fixes known as of yet?
Thanks in advance!

You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location.
