Can't save keywords

I have run into a problem where I can't save keywords -- has anyone else run into the same thing? And, more importantly do you know how to solve it? When I try to export keywords the "file" window pops up for just a few seconds showing the potential locations for saving the file and then it goes away. The next mouse click aborts the program bringing up the option to send a report to Apple and close or reopen the program.
I am running on a MacPro 10,4.10, 12gig Ram, LR 1.2
I have used the option to check the integrity of the db structure and get the same problem. Not sure where else to go from here -- other than a complete reinstall and then it seems like I would lose all of my work that I have done thus far that is already in the db so I am not to interested in that route.

I'm having a slightly different problem. I was testing keyword importing, so I exported keywords to see the format (all was OK). Imported a file (with a different set of keywords) which worked OK, purged unused keywords, imported again (worked OK).
Now every time I export keywords the file is created but is empty (0 bytes filesize).
Importing works, but not exporting. Keywords are in LR.

Imported old family video, I seperated different events and named each event, how can I save event to put together in a menu like family, vacation, christmas to make a DVD

Sorry, but I don't understand what "5 1 hour video" means.
I do understand that you have a lot of clips that you want to group by various subjects, like vacation, etc. That's a perfect job for keywords, which perhaps is what you used when you named them?
If you did use keywords, go to that TL Index and click Tag at the top and then the keyword icon at the bottom. It should give you a list of only clips in that category. Select clip from the menu and it should highlight them. You could then copy and paste them to a new project for export. Repeat as necessary.
If you're going to do a lot of these, I'd suggest doing this from the event browser, applying keywords and then the clips into separate projects. But there are always more than one way to do things, and to each his/her own.
Again, I don't have any idea how long your footage is and whether it is even possible (or desirable) to fit it on to a single DVD. I mentioned iDVD because of its menu and sub menu capabilities. You will need another app like Compressor to do the chapter makers (unless Apple updates FCP before you finish your project and adds that capability. That would be nice,)
Good luck.

How can I access keywords in adobe bridge after labeling them?

How can I access keywords in adobe bridge after labeling them?

There's a search box in the upper right corner of Bridge. Just type in the keyword and it should show up in the Content Panel.
What if you want to save your search in a Smart Collection? A folder that would permanently hold the results of your search?
You'll love this video.

CAN YOU COPY KEYWORD TAGGING HIERARCHY FROM ONE CATALOG TO ANOTHER?

I use PSE 9 and I HAVE SO MANY PICTURES THAT THE ORGANIZER RUNS SLOW. I want to split into 2 or 3 catalogs and use the same keyword tagging hierarchy in each catalog. I know how to write the tags to the picture files but when I do that and then load the split of pictures into a new catalog, all the tags are alpha without the the sub-catagory hierarchy that I'd set up in the original catalog. Can I get the same tagging in each catalog and/or start a new catalog that has the same keyword tag hierarchy?

In your old catalog:
Show the Keyword Tags panel.
Click the green plus sign.
Choose "Save Keyword Tags to File".
In your new catalog, before importing any photos, repeat steps 1 & 2, then choose "From File". That will import your keyword tags with the hierarchy intact.

If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

CAN'T APPLY KEYWORDS

Hello,
I created template Keywords, checked keywords, saved, select All pictures, append metadata,
and NOTHING happens, I am showing "multiple values", thanks

Hi Margieannejulie
You already have the keywords panel in view according to your screenshot. You are using the default 'essential' Workspace which to my opinion is next to useless but you can easily create and save your own workspace by dragging the panels in size or move them to another location. The lines between columns and panels can be used to change the size and if you click and hold a tab you drag the panels. A horizontal blue lines means between two other panels and a surrounding blue line means adding as a tab to an existing panel.
Bottom right in your screenshot is the panel keywords.
Under other keywords are your present keywords in italic, meaning they are not persistent in your keyword list that by the looks of it is also the default one.
Top right of the keyword panel is a small menu icon. when you click on it it shows a few options. Amongst them New Keyword. If you name this keyword Syrian you can add sub keywords to this keyword.
Either by using again the menu icon or while with your cursor on the new keyword right click on it and from the menu choose new sub keyword. This adds a sub keyword to Syria that acts as the parent keyword.
Now you can choose to either create more sub keywords for Syria or add another sub keyword to nest in an existing keyword.
For example you have all images made in Syria which obvious would be the parent keyword because all files are made in this country.
Then you can divide the subjects to your own wishes. Let's say you have some opposition fighters with Kalashnikovs in Aleppo that would make a set up like this:
Syria
     Aleppo
          Syrian opposition fighter
               Kalshnikov
This is a keyword with 3 nested sub keywords. In Bridge preferences under Keywords you can set the option to automatically apply parent keywords which to my opinion can be quit useful because it means when you click on the last nested keyword it also auto selects the above keywords. In this case it would mean you select all images of fighters with Kalashnikovs in Aleppo in the bridge content window. Now you only have to click on the keyword called 'Kalashnikov' and automatically the other keywords Syrian opposition fighter, Aleppo and Syria are also selected and applied.
The pro's of having such a set up instead of all keywords in one template is that you can narrow your search better. If you create other sub keywords under Syria (for instance with children) and you do a search for Syria both the images with children and the fighters will appear as a result. But if you search for the keyword Kalashnikov only the ones with fighters showing guns will show in the result.
I hope this makes sense
So take some time in creating a good keyword tree having good main keywords with many sub keywords. Then select the files you want them to apply to and click on the most nested keyword you want to add and the miracle happens.
You have to take care letting Bridge do all the caching once the activity bar bottom left starts running. Because if you click on another keyword while the previous process in still going on it will start the new job before finishing the old one. Resulting in not having all keywords applied which shows by a minus in the square instead of a checkmark (when all files have the same word applied).
It seems a lot of work but once you know the principal it is fairly easy. The little extra effort you make at this point will be paid back later on when you have a lot of files in your archive and need to find just the view files you want to have.
Also be sure to regularly export the keywords list for back up purposes.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:
403 Error - Forbidden - No cred, dude.

How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD?

I use HandBrake to rip DVD's into iTunes. How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD? For instance, I have a Jimi Hendrix documentary that comes with special features, such as concert performances. I would like to have the main feature and the special features saved in my iTunes under the same title, perhaps as different 'tracks' (kind of like how different songs can be saved under the same album).
Is there a way for me to do this, or am I chasing phantoms?

*This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.

We have a PC with iTunes that needs the hard drive reformatted. Right now, it can't connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my music to a thumb drive, then re-load when the computer is reformatted?

We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting? How do I do it?

Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

how can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all of my music is from a bunch of cds i own

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

Using tab groups but Firefox 28.0 crashes and even can not save all tabs in archive recently

Hi. I installed tab groups addon on my firefox 28.0 (firefox portable version) and each group has its tabs. of course. Problem is that Firefox crashes when i work on a group with the tabs and even can not save all tabs in archive as MAFF recently too. When i try to save all tabs in archive as... i choose the name and hit save and wait but after some time this crashes too. Last time i saved all my tabs and groups as MAFF or other file was end of april and since then i can not save them anymore because of the crashing.
I read on the help site to delete Firefox then reinstall ect. to fix problems but I DO NOT want to erase my groups with their tabs as i chose this solution working with group tabs as it would be to hard on my cpu when i use for each group a different browser for example.
Please help me fix this problem with the crashes but without loosing my groups and its tabs as they are all important and do not wish to erase them as i use them all.
Thanks and hope for a soon reply :)

Can you give me your crash reports?
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.

Can I save data in a snapshot from signal express 2013 LE?

Can I save data (in txt or excel format) from a snapshot from signal express 2013 LE? My data buffer is too larege to export to excel. When I try to take a snapshot, I do not see any data. Are snapshots supported in the LE mode? This is the free version that comes with the USB 6009 ADC.

Yes, the snapshot function is available for SignalExpress 2013 LE. Does the snapshot function as intended when you try other projects?
