Descriptions are not being exported even though option is ticked

This is a new problem for me.  Not sure when it cropped up, but possibly in the last iPhoto update?
When I export a photo from my library and tick the 'Titles and Keywords' box, the description field is not copied into the IPTC caption field as it used to be.  The title and keywords are, but when I look at the info panel in Finder (or in Preview), the description field remains set to "SONY DSC" which is the camera's default. 
I'm running iPhoto 9.4.1 on OSX10.8.2
Is this a bug?  Is anyone else having this problem?  Any insights appreciated.

I fixed all my exported photos with missing IPTC data using this command:
exiftool -iptc:all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe  ./
Download the exiftool here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
open a terminal window, cd into the directory with all the exported photos, then run the exiftool command.
voila!  the descriptions re-appear.
if iPhoto can create new descriptions, regardless of what camera they were taken on, then iPhoto should also be able to export them.  And, this is why i'll never use iPhoto again.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:

    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)

    If by download bar you are referring to the spinning gears, they are gone in Mail 6.5. There is no indication Mail is checking for Mail. If it finds Mail, it will show it downloading in the lower left hand corner.

  • I cannot sign into facetime.  It says my id or password are not correct.  Even though I can sign into Itunes just fine.

    Having problems signing into Facetime on ipod touch.  Everytime I try it says I don't have the correct user ID or password.  But, they work fine to sign in for Itunes.  HELP!

    I had this problem too. As it turns out, when you first sign in to FaceTime, it saves that password. If you have changed your Apple ID account password since the first time you used FaceTime on your device, it will reject that password, even though it is right. Basically, FaceTime thinks it needs the original password. This means that you will have to restore. If you haven't changed your password though, I am not sure.

    Did you open/load a file to the app? The "Pro" features are context adaptive and only "turn on" if content is both available and the feature can be applied to the particular type of content loaded.

  • FI documents generated from RE-FX are not being summarized

    The Fi documents generated from periodic posting in RE-FX are not being summarize, even thou the have the same customer, the same flow type and account determination.
    I checked the corresponding customizing Item related and the seem to be right. The system seems to be skiping  this.
    I have 2 conditions in the RE contract that goes to the same flow type and account determination but the document is generated with the two separated line item.
    Tanks in advance
    Noel.

    Hi Noel,
    I guess you have already checked your customizing.
    If you are technically interested you may have a look into the
    coding to see which fields are checked and must be equal for
    summarization.
    class: CL_RERA_DOC_ITEM_CNDS
    method: CONDENSE_APAR_ITEMS
    If you set a breakpoint there and follow the program you may see why the items are not condensed.

  • F.05 -   why the entries are being reversed even though I did not tick the

    Hi,
    Please advice why the entries are being reversed even though I did not tick the reversal button in F.05.
    Your assitance is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    It is a standard SAP procedure by which the revaluation entries are automatically reversed. If you do not want to reverse the revaluation entries, you will have to Activate Delat Logic for the Valuation Area. SPRO Path is Financial Accounting (New)--> General Ledger Accounting (New) > Periodic Processing> Valuate --> Activate Delta Logic.
    Once you activate this Delta Logic, at the time of fc valuation, you will get the check box for Annual or Mid Term revalation will come. If you select the annual option, the automatic reversal will not happen.

  • DHCP Option Tags are not being applied...

    Hi,
    About to loose my mind... basically we are working towards a small WYSE Thin Client deployment in our environment.  The WYSE clients require to receive certain DHCP Option Tags to find the WCM server of which they receive their configuration from.  Same
    applies to the WDM Server as well.  The problem is no matter what we do, our test client is not receiving the custom option tags we've defined in our DHCP server.  
    DHCP Servers:
    vlan41
    10.40.1.206
    10.40.1.207
    Test Client:
    vlan46 - ip helpers defined on the switch
    Set to receive the same ip address from the DHCP server through the reservation route.
    Option Tags:
    186 - WDM Server - 10.40.1.184
    195 - WCM Server - 10.40.1.185
    196 - WCM Path - / 
    I've installed Wire Shark on the test client to monitor the DHCP activity.  The above custom options tags are not being pushed on to the client.  
    The Router, DNS Server and Domain Tags are being pushed.  So it's working but also not working????!!!
    Anybody with some insight to this problem?

    Hi hpaul_p
    In all fairness I'm about to give up... the vendor is not coming up with a solution and constantly blaming Microsoft.  To further test and confirm this wasn't a network issue, I've setup a secondary test environment using a 4 port switch, a client and
    a DHCP server.  Same results!!!  I'm really running out of time, so my work around is this:  I've setup a SRV records pointing to the WCM server... in your case this would be SRV record for the WDM server.  I've disabled the auto
    discovery functionality of the WDM Agent, for some reason it seems to be clashing with the WCM agent.  Since you will be using WDM only, don't disable auto discovery, tick the DNS SRV record from the Discovery Settings under the client agent. 
    I'm going to add the clients to the WDM server manually through their ip addresses so don't need auto discovery. From what I gather from the manuals the WCM searches for the repository or conifg servers in this order:  1. SRV 2.DNS (A record)
    3.DHCP (Options), I bet it's the same with WDM.  Though SRV and DNS methods has their limitations, if you will be using the default paths and credentials it shouldn't be a problem.  This is all I have have.  Steven Song I've forwarded you the
    DHCP database, if you find any problems with it please let me know.

  • Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

    Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir.  I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes.  I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes.  When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir.  To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?
