Cannot locate images saved from CS5

I recently upgraded not only from CS3 to CS5, but also from a PC to a Mac. I am having trouble locating some of the images that I am saving from CS5 in the folder that I saved them in. For example, I edited approximately 10 images and saved them into a new folder. When I started to upload them, I noticed that 4 of them were not in the folder that I saved them to. I checked first to make sure I had not saved them in the original folder, and I didn't. Next, I checked the images in photoshop to see if they had been saved. And they had been. Then I tried to save them again into the folder and it told me that this file already exists. But...it's not there. Or at least I cannot find it. Anyone have any idea where these saved images are hiding?

On Mac, the default folder is your user document folder - very much like on a PC. It's actual location on the mac volume is Mac HD:Users:Abingram:Documents, assuming default names. You should have no problems finding them. Saving them to another location should work just the same, but since user management is more rigid in UNIX environments, you may simply not see it if it is in a system folder or another user's folder. OSX actually hides some of these folders then and they are excluded from your personal Spotlight search. To circumevent this and recover your files, you might try to grant yourself admin privileges temporarily in your user control panel ("User can manage this computer"). If you are the only user, this already should be the case and then you may need to check folder permissions by invoking the info panle (Cmd+I)...

Images saved from Mobile Safari are significantly degraded

When I tried to use an image saved from Mobile Safari as my wallpaper I noticed that it looked horrible. It was blurry and more importantly the dynamic range of the image had been compressed, blowing out all the detail in the bright areas of the image and making it contrastier. This is especially bad on the type of photo I was trying to use, a high-key image, where most of the detail is in the light tones. Much of the image was simply displayed as blank white.
As a test I tried emailing the image I had saved into Photos to myself and compared it to the original I had saved from the web. Sure enough, the image was blurrier and had less dynamic range so it's not just an iPhone display issue. Also, the image was only 27% smaller in file size and the pixel dimensions were actually slightly increased. A quick re-save in Photoshop with JPEG quality set to low (4) reduced the file size by 53% while still not affecting the image anything like what the iPhone did. So it doesn't make sense that the poor quality is only due to resizing for faster transmission.
Can anyone else confirm this or replicate the issue? I've verified this with a 1st gen and 3G iPhone side by side, both running OS 2.1.

No, it's not only you.
I noticed it too. As a matter of fact, I just posted a really long post in a thread about iPhone/iPod Touch's photo quality.

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?
Following is my code, someone can give me an advise?
content.htm:
<html>
<h1>this is a test .</h1>
<hr>
<img src="showcontent.jsp">
</html>showcontent.jsp:
<%@ page import="com.stsc.util.*" %>
<%@ include file="/html/base.jsp" %>
<%
     STDataSet data = new STDataSet();
//get blob field from database
     String sql = "SELECT NR FROM ZWTAB WHERE BZH='liqf004' AND ZJH='001'";
     //get the result from database
     ResultSet rs = data.getResult(sql,dbBase);
     if (rs!=null && rs.next()) {
          Blob myBlob = rs.getBlob("NR");
          response.setContentType("image/jpeg");//
          byte[] ba = myBlob.getBytes(1, (int)myBlob.length());
          response.getOutputStream().write(ba);
          response.getOutputStream().flush();
     // close your result set, statement
     data.close();
%>

Don't use jsp for that, use servlet. because the jsp engine will send a blank lines to outPutStream corresponding to <%@ ...> tags and other contents included in your /html/base.jsp file before sending the image. The result will not be treated as a valid image by the browser.
To test this, type directly showcontent.jsp on your browser, and view it source.

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

Cannot open file exported from CS5 as .idml into CC2014.

I'm trying to open a file created in InDesign CS5 in the newest CC version of InDesign.
It is a large (2GB) file comprised entirely of placed images.
I found a thread that suggested exporting as idml.
I did export from CS5 as idml which made the file size a mere 195 MB.
When I tried to open it in CC2014 I got the error message:
Cannot open the file "name.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in
that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
I had quit from CS5 before attempting to open the file in CC2014.
I had thought that exporting as .idml would change the file type suffix from
.indd to .idml but I'm not in the weeds enough to be sure about that.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Roger

I had thought it might be.
I preserved my original (created in CS5) and saved a copy
to try it in CC 2014. The copy wouldn't open in CC.
I deleted this copy and tried again with a new copy
Tried to open in CC - no go.
Opened the new copy in CS5 - no problem.
If the file were corrupt, would it still open in CS5, or is this
a forward compatibility issue?

FRM-47109 cannot locate image file

Hi guys,
I created an image item on my form which will displays a picture from my hard disk when user click once.
Trigger: When-Image-Pressed trigger
code: read_image_file('C:\Nissan_xtrail','JPEG','product_image');
But the following error is return on the web FRM-47109 cannot locate imagefile.
Do you have any suggestions?
Cheers,
Mussa

See Usage Notes in Help documentation for READ_IMAGE_FILE:
* Oracle Forms searches for the image file along the same default path as it searches for an .FMX file.
* READ_IMAGE_FILE Built-in reads images from the file system of the Application Server, not the client browser.

Cannot locate image via Bluetooth

After taking a photo on my Nokia E63 and renaming it on the phone (to make for easier identification & retrieval), I connected my handset to my PC via Bluetooth, but I cannot locate the image on my phone or my memory card. It's the only image that I've stored on my handset that I cannot locate via Bluetooth.
Is there any reason why this may've occurred?

ITunes cannot locate my music from my external hard drive

I am using the most uptodate software for mac book and itunes. Having followed all other discussions and located the media folder using preferences itunes still cannot locate my music, this is really frustating! All of my music is the the itunes media folder within the itunes folder on my external harddrive and it still wont find the music. Futher to this my library should have about 50,000 songs in it but itunes library is only showing 354 songs that all have the ! sign beside them.
Please can someone help me as this is annoying!
PS. this method worked fine on my windows until itunes had updated, since the recent update and my move to macbook pro my media cannot be found

Oops, excuse me I think I misread the initial problem.
This solution might be more on track, though I don't understand why the 354 songs your library does list are broken...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

Images saving from Photoshop to Lightroom are saved way lighter

I first work on an image in Lightroom. Then, I sent a copy with LR edits to Photoshop where I continue to work on the image. When I am done editing in Photoshop and Save - the image goes back to LR, but the Photoshop Tiff copy in LR is far lighter than the image that was saved from editing in Photoshop. If I open the PS image from finder it looks fine - it is darker than the same file as seen in LR.

No problem. Waiting for a video rendering and upload to finish ;-)
If it is fixed in another account than it is highly likely that a develop preset or default gets applied to your images. This happens quite easily and has happened to me unknowingly too. Basically you would by accident have hit the Reset button in Develop while the option key was pressed. What you want to do is to go into Preferences->Presets and hit the button that says "Reset all default Develop settings". Then hit reset on your image. If none of that works, you can always trash the Lightroom preferences file. Quit out of Lightroom, go to the Finder. Hit command-Shift-G. Type ~/Library/Preferences/ in the display that you get to reveal the hidden by default preferences folder in your home account. Find the file that is called com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist (you might not see the plist extension on your computer) and drag that to the trash. Now start Lightroom again and your Lightroom should behave as if you just installed it. You might have to point it to your catalog file if it doesn't open with it there but with an empty catalog. File->Open Catalog-> select your main catalog.

IMac running 10.7.5 and have 2 question marks from old PPC apps, which I cannot locate to remove from the system? Any suggestions please?

iMac running 10.7.5 and have 2 question marks from old PPC apps, which I cannot locate any links to remove from the system? Any suggestions please?

Hello, if those Question marks are in the Dock, it means OSX can't find them either.
Right click on the Q mark & choose Remove from Dock, might be Roght click or click, then Options>Remove from dock on later OSX versions.
Sometimes you can just drag it of the Dock, or CMD +drag it off.

Cannot locate my contacts from my iPhone in iTunes

I accidentally hit 'replace info' instead of 'merge info' when I recently synced my contacts from iPhone to iTunes and now I cannot locate all of my contacts. Is there a way to find this information in iTunes? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
JR

Contacts are not stored in iTunes. Contacts are synced to a supported contact application on your computer, "through iTunes". Contacts are also included in the iPhone backup. You can try restoring your phone from your most recent backup, but unless they are in a supported application on your computer, I suspect they are gone.

I am getting errors upon use of JPG images, saved from Photoshop, in Encore.

How do I use Photoshop JPG images in Encore without errors?
When using camera jpg images, saved by Photoshop (either save, or image manipulation like autocolor then save, no other Photoshop options were tested), Encore will either :
1) generate an image import error: "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem." and be unable to import the image,
2) Image import stops before completion (Encore stops responding and must be Closed by Windows Task Manager), or
3) with a number of images imported, upon attempts to create a Slideshow, Slideshow creation will stop while in progress, and Encore does not respond (Encore must be Closed by Windows Task Manager).
Import and Slideshow creation using untouched camera images is nominal and uneventful.
Import and Slideshow creation using PhotoShop(64bit) GIF (copy) images is nominal and uneventful.

The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This warranted its own help page, which is now a dead link.
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
But I assume the pixel size is the same whether you are processing them in Photoshop or not. but the main point is that the underlying problem is not about decoders. Encore encounters a problems dealing with the file and throws the only error it (apparently) has. So you are looking for anything like that: pixel size, changes between rgb and cmyk, extra metadata in files. Maybe even filename oddities (length, special characters).
I would look in part at what versions you are using and compatibility settings.
I would save them as png or psd.

CS6 AI Cannot open a file saved from CS5 AI

Had tried to save and rename the file and place in the local C: harddrive, filename only English letters. Doesn't work.
Had uninstalled completely the CS6 Master collection and CC cleaner tools and reinstall the CS6 again, but problem still there.
Using Win8.1 Pro 64bit desktop at home.
Acrobat X Pro can open the AI file !
I am going to reinstall back the old version CS5 Design Premium to keep my work going on.
Is there a solution for this problem up to now ?

Hi Peter,
I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

Cannot locate images

I am new at lighroom 4 I did a family session and had the family decide on 54 images they liked that I would edit and I placed them into a collection and editted them well I created a folder in my pictures portion of my computer to place the editted version and now lightroom is stating that the image cannot be found and I tried relocating them to direct them to where they live in the computer file but it states that there are other pictures similar would you like to view this and I hit open but nothing happens so I am extremly worried I have lost these images I dont have backup that exist...please help me!

First of all, don't panic. Your photos are wherever you put them on your hard disk. You should be able to find these photos using your operating system.
You should be able to fix these problems in Lightroom, by moving the photos back to where they were (using your operating system), or via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
Now to take a step backwards, you seem to have made a number of beginner Lightroom mistakes, all of which are avoidable in the future.
Once you made a collection with these photos, you have properly organized the photos, and so there was no reason to move them to a specific folder
If you move or rename photos outside of Lightroom, then Lightroom no longer knows where the photos are and gives you a missing indicator (the ? icon) Lightroom does not contain your photos, it only contains a pointer to the photo's location, and that's why moving photos outside of Lightroom causes problems. My best advice is to develop a workflow where you don't move photos from here to there. And if you MUST move photos from here to there, do this in Lightroom.
Lightroom does not save the edited versions of your photos. This is different than other software that you may have used in the past. That is why you will not find a Save command in Lightroom. What Lightroom does is it saves, in its database, the changes you made (for example, exposure +0.24, contrast +20, highlights –25) and will re-draw this photo according to these changes whenever you open Lightroom. Most non-Adobe programs cannot interpret these changes and so can only show you the unedited photos.
If you need the edited versions of the photos for some non-Lightroom purpose, you must export the photos.
Let me strongly recommend you begin watching some video tutorials on the basics on Lightroom such as these:

Images saved from internet websites

Help. It seems that when we e-mail photo's (even a single photo), the slideshow is capturing images from internet websites we have visited previously. How do configure the settings such that website images are not saved and thus potentially added to photoshop? It tends to confuse folks to whom we send photo's when they start to see images from websites the kiddos visit (Disney, Nickelodian etc.).
Thanks,
Tim

Vibha, thank you very much for taking time to try to help. I think Jim Jutte also suggested what you did, and I have made the adjustments. Because of my concern over this matter however, I stopped using Adobe for my pictures. So I'm not sure if it will work.
What will let me know is when a friend e-mails me some pictures using Adobe Photohouse, and if it has the 'slideshow' feature with it. I will try it and that will no doubt show me if my adjustment worked. (Actually, I guess I could send myself some pictures to one of my own e-mails, and that would tell the story, huh?)
Nevertheless, thank you.
Karen
