Continuing Metadata update problems

LR 2.1 final.
Catlog Setting: Automatically write changes into XMP.
Files are mostly JPEG.
I imported photos, adding metadata during the import. I then went through all photos, setting rating and adding keywords. Yet, a day later (leaving LR running all night), "Metadata Status" and "Metadata Date" are not displayed on any of these photos until I manually "Save Metadata to file". I have verified that I cannot see the keywords or other metadata with another application until I have saved the metadata, and once saved, the metadata are there.
Also, once saved, changing the metadata does not always cause LR to save the changed metadata to the file. Sometimes it does. Sometimes not. Very confusing and frustrating! And the ". . ." indicator in Grid view on photos with unknown or unsaved metatdata status is no longer shown, so a quick glance does not tell me if the metadata is saved or not.
Does anyone have any answers? Are my expectations incorrect? Is LR 2.1 broken?

Because of very slow performance with automatic writing enabled, they made the metadata writing very lazy. So it might take a long time before it gets updated. Are you sure you need to have the metadata written to your originals? It is far better to leave your originals completely untouched and just export copies when you need them.

  • How show ONLY images with problems or needing metadata update, etc?

    In LR3, how do I show JUST the images that are waiting for a metadata update on disk?
    Or, more importantly, how do I show images that have a problem - the little box on the top right of the thumbnail with the exclamation point.
    If I have a dozen images out of 50,000 that have an error with "another process has updated the metadata" I want to see JUST THOSE IMAGES
    so I can fix the problem...
    How do I do this?

    Dave, there are two related issues:
    - LR appears to have a number of problems correctly identifying which images have metadata conflicts between the catalog and the files proper:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lr_3_5rc_reproducible_spurious_metad ata_file_needs_to_be_updated
    - LR has no mechanism that allows you to identify just those images with metadata conflicts:

  • IOS5 UPGRADE HELP! An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-50). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?

    I've been trying to upgrade to iOS5 for the past half day. I keep getting:
    "An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-50). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone? 
    Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone."
    I think I have been on every forum the Internet has. This means:
    -Yes, I have tried restarting my computer
    -Yes, I have tried using a different USB port
    -Yes, I have tried doing the whole DFU mode thing
    -Yes, I have tried freeing up some drive space from both computer & iPhone
    -Yes, I have tried removing MobileSync folder from AppData
    -Yes, I have tried Airplane mode and Bluetooth Off
    -and Yes, I think I have waited long enough....!
    Please help.. I'm hopeless. lol.. and no i dont want to lose all content on my iphone

    This is the correct steps to solve this problem:
    1. Cancel the update (with the backing up error, of course)
    2. Do a manual backup
    3. Do a manual restore (your password to unlock your backup file is your AppleID password, not your IPhone keypad password)
    4. Now Update your phone. This time the backup should work.
    5. After it is updated, it will automatically restore, if you choose to restore not to set up a new phone.
    And yes, copy all your photos manually. Your backup probabally won't include photos.
    If this still doesn't work, try to stop your anti-virus software.

  • Xcode and firmware update problem

    Hi all,
    i've been working on my app for a few month now and i have about two more weeks until i finally submit it. everything went very good during development.. untill -
    by ACCIDENT i've upgraded my firmware to 3.1.2
    since my OS is 10.5.7, as i understand, i must install xcode 3.2.1. but this version also needs mac OS 10.6
    so it's realy frustrating for me...
    do i need now to upgrade/purchase OS 10.6 and also my xcode environment in order to continue working ?
    can't i make a rollback to other firmware version supported by my current 3.1.2 xcode ?
    i've searched the net endlessly and just couldn't find anyway to downgrade my firmware (i have a 5.11.7 baseband and 6.2 bootloader)
    please...
    any help ?

    GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
    . While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
    2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
    3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
    Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

    Note! For some models you will be prompted to do a backup prior to the update and then restore.
    3. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
    4. Phone Software Update.
    5. Start.
    6. Repair Phone
    7. Continue
    8. Accept data removal
    9. Next
    10. Wait for prepare
    11. Select Phone

  • I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't  Work.

    I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system,  it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

    Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

  • Dreamweaver CS6 Library Updating Problem

    When updating my menu, which is a Library item, using Dreamweaver CS6, after the initial update sequence the program keeps trying continuously to update related files but will not complete the update. After I cancel the update it initiates the update again and again does not complete the update. The original complete update actually works but the continuous updating cycle make it so I have to close the program and restart to even work on the site.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    I am using the Creative Cloud subscription for CS6. I am using the Windows 7 professional platform.

    Same issue here:
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Save a library item that is referenced in a simple html file
    2. When saving the template it correctly asks me if I want to update the above HTML file. When I click update it immediately comes up with a second update box without saving the library item again. It is instant.
    3. Above HTML is never actually updated.
    Expected results: It should only me once per save to update files that the library items are referenced in. CS5.5 did not have this problem.
    The only solution I found was to remove the library item from the HTML template and re-add. That fixes it which definatley leads me to believe it is a bug in the CS6 library.

    Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad or graphic card issue? Trying to decide if computer is worth repairing as it was made in 2007.

    It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

  • Update problem - VBDATA table

    Dear All,
    We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
    Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
    In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
    In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
    Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
    As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
    The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
    Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
    Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
    Thanks in advance,
    Federico Biavati
    My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

    Hello Siva,
    This is what I did:
    > Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
    More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
    > You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
    > that are pending/in error
    Good point!!
    After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
    Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
    Thanks for you help,
    Federico

  • Chart x scale update problem

    LabVIEW  8.5.1
    Sweep Chart Problem
    The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep.  The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
    It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart.  I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this.  I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
    I've included a simple example.
    Thanks much,

    You have a typical race condition!
    There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
    All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
    (Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
    Try it!
