Batch change to description does not work

I have a IMac27" Intel i7 using IPhoto 09
I am trying to batch update the description on multiple photos.
I shift click on a series of photos then go to batch update> change description.
It appears to start with a message and blue line that says " updating photos ", but then after the initial blue line nothing advances and nothing happens to the photos

This will end my contributions to this topic. I have done my best to describe the symptoms I encountered, how I had created this problem, and a solution to it.
I have no special knowledge to how or where metadata is stored with a file, nor the permissions associated with the file and its storage in iPhoto. Unless someone can correct me, I had believed that capture date, camera, format, lens, EXIF, TIFF, CANON, or any other descriptor are part of the metadata and that Canon stored all of this information together with the image in a single file. It did not matter to me whether IPTC data was part of any image file that I imported into iPhoto or not. I am presuming there is metadata attached to image files that can be properly parsed to give what can be loosely described as capture date, time, EXIF, TIFF, CANON, IPTC or any other descriptor that might be present. Because I had used batch change to write data to RAW images in iPhoto in the past, I expected I would be able to do so again. I wasn't trying to trick iPhoto or any readers into confusion about how or where that data may be stored. I simply noted that I had some RAW files that iPhoto could not write to and some that it could.
I hope that I have given an adequate description of how I encountered this problem. If others should encounter a similar effect, they may try the solution I found (namely, export the original file and re-importing it).
If someone wishes to explain why the solutions suggested by Old Toad were incorrect for photos imported from another computer, be my guest.

Search MAT0M - Material Number/Material Description does not work

Dear Guru,
I don't know why search help in MM60 F4 at material field.
Use search help: Material Number/Material Description
It does not work when I selected material number because of it did not return material number to field.
How should I do? Please help.
Regards
Thank you very much.

go SE11
display search help MAT0M
Check whether you have an flag for import and export next to the MATNR field.
if that is okay, then open search help MAT1
select there search help MAT1_A then click the big button for parameter allocation, check if related parameter MATNR is to collective search help parameter MATNR.
if that is okay, then close the window, and doubleclick MAT1_A
MAT1_A ha sagain included search helps.
Select there your MAT0M and click the the big button for parameter allocation and check there the same as above.
Further check whether all search helps, MAT1 and MAT1_A and MAT0M ar active. (you can see that next to the description)

Equipmen dismantle, change plant, install does not work

Hello experts,
I have developed a function module which should execute the following steps:
- dismantle an equipment from a functional location
- change the plant of the equipment
- install the equipment into a new functional location
I therefor tried to use these three existing function modules:
- Dismantle -> EQUIPMENT_DISMANTLE
- Change Plant -> BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE
- Install -> EQUIPMENT_INSTALL
Now the problem occurs that the call of the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE does not execute a commit so the changes are not directly written to the database and the following call of EQUIPMENT_INSTALL is not able to install the equipment into the new functional location.
I tried to execute a BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE but still it does not work. In my dev system I can insert a "WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS." call which work but this does not work in the testing env. Also this is a very bad approach.
The curious thing is that everytime I debug my FM everything is working fine. So I bet there is a problem in the direct following call after the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE and EQIPMENT_INSTALL.
Here are the relevant calls:
CALL FUNCTION 'EQUIPMENT_DISMANTLE'

So, what I have done now is the following:
IF bapiret2-type EQ 'S'.
    COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
*   now check if changes are written to db
    DO.
      l_iwerk = 0.
      " get the latest item entry
      SELECT SINGLE iwerk FROM equz
        INTO l_iwerk
        WHERE equnr EQ p_ls_equi-equnr AND
              datbi EQ '99991231'.
      IF l_iwerk EQ equitime-planplant.
        p_rc = 0.
        EXIT.                 " data written to db -> exit
      ELSE.
        WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS. " wait and check in next loop
      ENDIF.
      IF sy-index EQ 10.
        p_rc = 1.             " set returncode to 1
        EXIT.                 " after 10 times -> exit
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
ENDIF.
This code checks if the respective entry in the db is already written and if not retry to read it with a delay of 2 seconds.
Looks a little bit ugly but does the job.
If anyone could get me to a "better" solution I would be happy to hear!

Isqlplus with full connection description does not work in netscape/firefox

http://machine/isqlplus?userid="user/pass@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=xxx)(SRVR=DEDICATED)))"
This works in IE, but fails in netscape and firefox with: SP2-0874: URL argument is missing a keyword
It looks like a URL encoding issue. Has anyone seen this and if so have you found a solution?

Thanks for the try, but that didn't help. Actually, without the full connection description it works in both browsers, i.e.
http://machine/isqlplus?userid=user/pass@servicename
does work in both. isqlplus under firefox appears to not like the encoding as:
http://machine/isqlplus?userid="user/pass@servicename"
this does not work under firefox. But with a full connect string it appears I need the quotes as without nether works.

Batch change images in automater not working

trying to batch change picturesfrom pict to jpg in automater but it won't work

It was the Ad Block Plus - I went into the OPTIONS for Ad Block Plus and clicked on the "Disable for this page only" button... then all seemed good. Odd however... when I looked at the "blockable items" list, the only one that showed up was a googlegamepad ad. I unblocked it with no change.
So it is blocking something that it is not listing... I'll follow-up with them and inform them of the problem.

Problem - SCSM Change status workflow does not work, shows huge "minutes behind" in SQL, but do not appear as failed.

There is a workflow "Change request status changed" which periodically fails to run, and it does not show up in "All instances" tab. For instance when I cancel a CR, all activities remain as-is in their respective statuses.
SQL - "SubscriptionStatus" from
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2013/01/14/troubleshooting-workflow-performance-and-delays.aspx
shows increasing number of "minutes by" each minute for this particular workflow.
Restarting "Management service" does not give enything. As well as "UpdateSubscriptionWatermark" SQL from the link above (except resetting the "minutes behind" counter)
Please help!

Take it to an apple store and see if you can get an out of warranty replacement. It won't be free, I think the fee for an Air replacement is $299, but it sounds like the insides are broken.

Changing JInternalFrame color does not work

UIManager.put("InternalFrame.activeTitleForeground", new ColorUIResource(Color.red));
UIManager.put("InternalFrame.activeTitleBackground", new ColorUIResource(Color.red));
UIManager.put("InternalFrame.borderColor", new ColorUIResource(Color.red));This code does not make anything appear red on my JInternalFrames .. the header etc. still looks purple when selecting one ... why is this?

That is because the internal frame isn't using those settings for setting the color of the internal frames. If you look at the code in javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalInternalFrameTitlePane you can see that the title pane is drawn using:
MetalLookAndFeel.getPrimaryControlHighlight() MetalLookAndFeel.getPrimaryControlDarkShadow()
MetalLookAndFeel.getPrimaryControl()
MetalLookAndFeel.getControlHighlight()
MetalLookAndFeel.getControlDarkShadow()
MetalLookAndFeel.getControl()
If you wish to change the color of internal frames, you have to either change those settings L&F wide, or create your own internal frame title bar UI classes (not a small task you will find).
Why doesn't it use those settings? No idea, it should use something like that.

Changing icons & Controls does not work- Help needed

When changing the theme in "theme preferences" only the window borders change... The icons and window controls remains as the same boring default.
Does anybody have a solution to the problem?

Recently changed documents command does not work

Using DW CS5. German version.
When I want to access all the files that have been changed recently, I get an error message
" when OnClick in SelectRecentlymodified.html , following Javaccript-Errors occured:
In Line 370 of the file "C:Programme/Adobe/Adobe DReamweaver C5/Configuration/Menus/MM/SelectRecentModified.js":
DWfile.getAttributes (listItem) has no properties.
This is the german thread, which did not get any answers yet:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/718535?tstart=30
Anybody has any suggestions what to do?
Thank you.

Now I realized that this problem occurs only with one site definition.
Anyone has any more suggestions? Could reinstalling DWCS5 help?
Try this -
1. Open DW's SiteManager, select this site's name, and export the site definition (make sure you do a full site definition export including the FTP information). Save the resulting *.ste file in a place where you can find it again.
2. With the site's name still selected in SiteManager, REMOVE the site from DW by clicking the REMOVE button.
3. Now Click on IMPORT and import the *.ste file you just exported.
Is the error still with you now?

HT4623 my iphone doesn't work here in Albania after i made an update,it says that u have to change ur Sim Card cuz does not work with ur Carrier...what do i do?

Hpls help me ,my iphone does not work after i updated and restore it..it says that u have to change ur Sim Card..cuz the carrier that u use its not known
But it has worked perfectly before the update!

Your iPhone was almost certainly jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier. Restoring the iPhone has now removed that jailbreak and the iPhone has relocked back to the original carrier. Only that carrier can authorize an official, permanent unlock, so you will need to contact that original carrier and ask if you would qualify for unlocking.

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

I changed my appleID, it worked fine but now I can not restore icloud backup in a new ipad (old appleid does not work and it is grey colored so I'm unable to change it)

Some months ago I changed my email address and so my appleID. Everything worked fine, but last week my ipad broke and when I tried to restore my icloud backup in my new ipad it does not work: it asks me for the password of the OLD appleID (it doesnt work); and in icloud configuration page the field for appleid is colored grey so I can not change it.
any clues? thank you in advance

My suggestion is to change apple id back. I know it is not something you want to hear, but there are suppose to be ways around it and usually they work, but not right now. I suspect that is consequences of Apple getting their servers ready for ios7. Normally in your situation - you should be able to get all your stuff back, but apps, and then you can sync those or download from icloud. But lately (last week) it does not seem to work normal way.
