Bridge Doesn't Like Index Color .gif Files Over Networks?

It's been a nightmare trying to navigate network folders with Bridge CS3 (Mac 10.5.3, 2x2.8GHz, 4GB ram) It's not uncommon to have to restart Bridge numerous times daily (tried all the fixes mentioned on these threads, and updated to the latest version of Bridge)
I finally noticed it stops and gives me the spinning wheel every time it encounters a .gif file, so I removed those files from the folder, converted them to RGB and re-saved them as .jpg from Photoshop and bingo! Bridge cached the folder quickly and without incident.
Is this issue documented anywhere? Is there any way to tell Bridge to just ignore .gif files?

Just an update,
I installed Apple's latest patch and Bridge is much more stable, but will still lock up anytime it encounters a network folder with .gif or .png files.
But at least now I know how to avoid this issue. Maybe future versions of Bridge will allow users to select certain file types to ignore when caching.

Final Cut doesn't playback when copy any files over network

First, i want say a thanks for all guys who help us here. Thank you very much. Much appreciate.
Now, problem...
My Final Cut works perfect sice a starded used 2005, never i have a one problem.
But last week i discover this:
When a copy any files between macs over a network the final cut doesn`t play in the sequence. nothing happening. but if i stop copy in the finder, it ok, everything back normal again.
I try using a project over a network and its perfect, fine.
only if i copy anything in the finder and final cut doesnt play.
Guys, anyone have this problem? Its normal?
I dont know, i try many this before i post here and nothing works.
Ps.: I have two imac i7 and this two have same problem.

I hope i understand you right.
when you copy a file from one network to another sometimes the file paths are lost. Like if you have a drive called FCP HDD on one cpu and FCP HDD3 on another. The original path is associated to the copied files on FCP HDD drive and not the FCP HDD3 drive so a path would be lost there.
If you are connected via gigabyte ethernet cable and the imacs are synced then there would only be a latency problem as the gigabyte ethernet is slower than sata and FW 400 or 800.
If you are just coping the source media (meaning the files you captured from the cam) then all of your paths will be new based on the place you copied them too.
so if i have a project like 'My Commercial' and that is the name of the project file then it is it own project. The media within that project is associated to which ever drive you put it on.
If i move the project to another computer then the media is not there.
Why? Because the project is looking for the name of the original drive which may not exist on the imac you moved the project too. Unless you have a server.
Also, Even if you do move the media files to the drive that IS connected to the new computer the drive is most likely to have a different path for the media.
What you want is to connect the 2 cpus in a way that allows drive sharing.
Do you get the red 'Media Offline" error in the timeline?

Transferring file over network? what can I use besides ssh?

What can I use to transfer file over network besides using ssh?
This is only for experimental purposes. I have used ssh before, by using command like this:
(time cat /run/shm/test/input/totalInput.tar | ssh username@ip-server "cat > /dev/null") 2>>/run/shm/test/p3_UC_ctime_tar.txt
or this, if I tried to compress a file and then transfer:
(time bzip2 -kfc1 /run/shm/test/input/totalInput.tar | ssh username@ip-server "cat > /dev/null") 2>>/run/shm/test/p3_ctime_tar.txt
However, I think ssh is killing my transfer speed. I am getting only 10-20Mbps.. Router should support over 200-300Mbps.
What can I use besides ssh? I was thinking about netcat, but what I don't like is that I have to open port on the other side for each new file transfer.

Well, what I am conserned with things like scp and ssh (I tried scp too) is encryption.
I just moved one file over to a server with scp, and I got about 2.1MB/s... which is about 16.8 Mbps..
I am using Linksys E900, which is wireless-N router. Connection exist between two computers only, nothing else is using that router. However, there is another wireless point outside of our room, which is used for public University network. I don't know how much of effect it would have on our set up.
Both computers have plenty of disk space. One computer (actually development board) uses sd-card for its OS and other disk space.
About 200-300Mbps.. is just something I saw on router's specs.

Bridge doesn't recognize its own .xmp files

Using Bridge CS3 on Mac OS 10.5.8. I edit RAW (.nef) files in ACR. When I click done, save, or open image, an .xmp sidecar file is generated and saved in the same folder as the .nef. However, changes made in ACR do not show in the preview thumbnail in Bridge, and when I re-open the file in ACR, my changes are lost. The .xmp file is still there, it's just not applied. It's like Bridge doesn't know the .xmp file is there. The icons in Bridge indicating altered develop settings or crops do not appear after adjudstments are made. Star ratings made in Bridge remain. When this issue began, it would ignore sidecar files for some images, but not others. It is increasing in frequency, or may now be consistent. (If I open the file into Photoshop or save an image file out of ACR, the changes are applied to the developed image file, they are simply ignored by Bridge in regards to the Raw file.)
Files that were adjusted before the problem began still synchronize with their sidecar files. Looking at the sidecar files in a text editor shows that they contain the adjustments made.
There were no changes in any installations/updates to software or OS at the time of the problem's onset.
I've tried using a Camera Raw database instead of sidecar files, and the changes are still lost. I've tried purging caches for Bridge and for ACR. I've tried resetting and dumping preference (.plist) files.
Anyone have ideas on what I can do to salvage this program as my RAW library manager?

Matthew,
Same problem here. But I'm using CS5 in Win7.
Bridge cannot find its XMP files. Bridge does not see its XMP files. XMP files do not work. Camera Raw settings do not show in thumbnails. ACR settings lost.
I just now figured out the problem/solution.
In my case, the association between CR2 files and Bridge was usurped by Canon DPP (the Canon raw converter) which I just installed this afternoon. When I installed it, there was no immediate problem. But when I started a new work session tonight, Bridge acted as if the XMP files weren't even there.
Solution: In Windows, to set a file association, you just right-click on a file (in this case the CR2 file) and select "Open With", and then navigate to Bridge (in my case Bridge CS5). That re-establishes the link between Bridge and its own XMP files. Then simply purge your cache and let Bridge rebuild it using its XMPs (which it can now find again) to rebuild the cache with the adjustments that are stored in the XMPs.
I don't know how to do this on a Mac, but the principle is the same.
I hope this solves your problem.

Problem saving gif file over the net

I am using a simple loop to save files using a URL Connection. It grabs html files fine and they look right but when I used to to download an animated gif it had an error. It saved the file but when I tried to open the image I got a "drawing failed" message.
I compared it to the working image and the sizes were identical. I also compared the characters in notepad and the beginning and end characters were identical. I looked at the preview in "My Computer" when you select it and it drew only the first line or so. This makes me believe it is a problem with how it switches lines when saving. I checked the ends of the lines though and they also seem identicall. Any ideas? Here is the code. Thankyou.
FileWriter fileName = new FileWriter(saveFileName);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
newConnection.getInputStream()
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fileName);
for (;;) {
int data = in.read();
// Check for EOF
if (data == -1) break;
else {
System.out.print ( (char) data);
out.write(data);
}

GIF files are binary files and can be corrupted if you use the Reader and Writer classes. Use the *Stream classes, like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

Sharing Files Over Network and computers not showing up in sidebar

I am trying to figure out how to share files over the network. Now when I click onto the computer in my shared items, I do not get access to the home folder that I used to see. Instead, I am getting a folder image with the user name below it, but it says Sharepoint. However, when I click on the folder I get another folder that says dropbox with a down arrow. However, when I click on that it says it cannot be opened because I do not have privileges.
What happened to being able to being able to get access to the home folder from the users on the computer that you are trying to retrieve files from.
Are there settings I need to adjust to allow me to get access to the files on the other computer.
The other computer is an iMac G5.
My next issue is that my wife's iBook G4 doesn't even show up in the shared items in the sidebar.
Again, are there settings on this computer that have to be adjusted.
Thanks in advance.

Streaming .wav file over network

Hi ,
I am trying to stream a .wav file over the network using datagram sockets and packets. When it gets to the other end it is just noise but you cannot make out what the music is.
Any ideas would be most appreciated!
code below
byte[] data;
int bytesAvailable;
          String     strFilename = "test.wav";
          File     soundFile = new File(strFilename);
          AudioInputStream     audioInputStream = null;
          try
               audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile);
          catch (Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(1);
while (thread != null) {
          int     nBytesRead = 0;
          byte[]     abData = new byte[EXTERNAL_BUFFER_SIZE];
          while (nBytesRead != -1)
               try
                    nBytesRead = audioInputStream.read(abData, 0, abData.length);
               catch (IOException e)
                    e.printStackTrace();
               if (nBytesRead >= 0)
try {
connection.send(new DatagramPacket(abData,1000));
}catch(Exception exec) {
System.out.println("Record: Exception sending packet:\n"+exec.getMessage());
try {
thread.sleep(50);
}catch(InterruptedException exec) {}
}

Streaming? looks like your dumping the whole file into a datagram packet. How are you receiving it on the other end?

Accessing shared files over network

I am having some problems with a couple of database files that I access with a Java program over network. Different computers running this program all need access to these files, and my question is if anyone know of a good way to make sure that only one user have access to these files at the time. There is no server software running were the files are stored, they are simply reached through file sharing. Currently I am creating a lock file indicating that someone is editing the files, however if I am unlucky 2 users create that lockfile at the same time and then both get access to the file corrupting it. Anyone experienced this and know of a nice solution to avoid it?

Crashing in PS CS and Quark when opening files over network

Mac Pro and MacBook Pro 10.4.8 using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Quark 6.52 will crash or become VERY unstable when opening files from server or remote machine. Server is 10.3.9 or remote Mac running 10.4.7, all works fine IF file are copied to client machine, but cannot use -File/Open dialog. This is a network isue in relation to Intel translation, is there a fix (Rosetta?)

Try looking for some "special" characters in file or folder names ( e.g. / or ?).
I had similar problems with PPC-Apps (InDesign CS2 and 4D Client 2003) since 10.4.7 and 10.4.8. App crashes or shows strange grey boxes on the screen when I tried to open files over the network, no probs with same files locally.

Crashing When Saving Photoshop File Over Network

Photoshop & InDesign CS3 crashes whenever I try to save a file over the network to a another shared Mac Pro computer. Another Mac Pro on the network can save to the shared computer without a problem.
SPECIFICS
- Three Macs and a 3 PC's on Ethernet network
-Problem started after upgrading to Leopard
- I have tried reinstalling the entire Creative Suite without Version Cue
- Tried deleting the com.adobe.mediabrowser.p.ist and Photoshop.plist preferences.
- If I create a new file on my computer and then immediately save it, it usually does not crash on the first save. But after I do a few things to the file and then try to save again, it hangs up giving me the spinning pinwheel with the message in the Force Quit dialog window that Photoshop is not responding.
+- I am unable to force quiet Photoshop; I have to do a hard reboot.+
Adobe tech support believes it is a network problem, any ideas what might be causing the problem?
Are there any know issues with Leopard and CS 3 with certain network configurations?

I have experienced issues with saving photoshop files over a network since upgrading to 10.5.3
This is a major issue, and one that apple seems quite about.

Copy files over Network - sometimes message "insufficent access priv"

Hi have a MacBook Pro & a MacPro.
I copied big files wirelessly all the time.
I software updated to QuickTime 7.1.6 and now I have two issues.
1) When I try to pull files over the network, I often get the message "insufficent priveleges". The file is in the middle of copying, so it starts the process just fine. I am logged in as a registered user. I can copy the files from the Mac Pro to the laptop.
2) I used to be able to stream video over my wireless without a hitch (even on my old Powerbook g4). Now streaming video plays for a few a few minutes and locks up.
It seems the update did something bad. However QT video plays fine locally from my laptop harddrive.
Anybody with similar problems or know any solutions?

Thanks for the tip. I tried repairing permissions and lots of things were fixed on the laptop but the problems remain.

Preview in Mountain Lion Doesn't Like Spot Colors

I upgraded to Moutnain Lion and CS6 at the same time, and one thing I've noticed is that Mac's preview doesn't seem to dig on spot colors. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to be the case with .ai and PDFs. Not a huge deal; when you open the files, the spot colors display properly, but when you view the files within a folder through Finder, click "space" to preview, or view the file as an attachment within Mail, anything with a spot color previews as solid black, which makes the file appear as if something is "off".
My biggest concern with this is if I'm sending a PDF to a client, and they only view it within their Mail app, will it view properly for them? Not knowing the answer, I've taken to converting all of my spot colors to CMYK before I save the proof file, and this way they display properly within Mac's various previews. Just wondering if everyone using Mountain Lion/CS6 are having this issue, or if mine is somehow an isolated case.

I'm having the same problem. When I open the Acrobat Files, the color looks fine. When I look at a PDF with spot colors in Preview Mode, in a Window Column View, or as an email attachment, I see SOME of the spot colors showing up as black, but not all of them. It seems to depend on the particular Spot Color.

Bridge doesn't recognize Oly E-620 files with ACR 5.4 Beta

hi:
1. the good news--> ACR 5.4 is working well as well as DNG.
2. problem: when i open up bridge (CS4), the new RAW files (example: olympus E-620) don't show up as thumbnails. i looked around in the preferences, but couldn't see anything that would fix this situation. any help appreciated.
thanks. harry shin

hi:
1. thanks for the reply--> but purging the cache didn't help.
2. in re: installation, perhaps there is a different way to install ACR 5.4, but all i did was run the installer. ACR is certainly working within photoshop CS4 and thus i'm assuming that it should be working in bridge (?)
3. any further ideas appreciated.
