DNG files showing no thumbnails mac osx 10.8.2

when i convert raw photos from my olympus omd em5 into DNG's and export them to my external hard drive , i do not get any thumbnail previews , they can only be seen if i view the files through lightroom4 import , if however i export in other formats such as jpeg ,tiff etc.. i get a preview thumbnail . Iam using latest imac and running osx 10.8.2 , does anyone have a fix for this , many thanks in advance , as i really like the idea of DNG, but would love to have a thumbnail preview, if anyone has a soloution i would be most grateful

Yup, as I said, luckily there's no problem for me with my NEFs either. And from memory (my iMac's in having its hard drive replaced so I can't check), I think it could read my old Fuji X100 RAFs without any issues too.
The point is that the Apple raw engine can read some but not all DNG files.
According to Apple, it's "most" if the camera produces native DNGs (which are as rare as rocking horse poop) or it can read some non-native DNG raw conversions, but for some others, only if you modify the DNG conversion by unchecking "Convert to Linear Image".
It may turn out that some DNG conversions can't be read by the Apple raw engine at all, or maybe are readable but Finder can't extract the JPEG for a thumbnail. In either case you'll have to stick to using Bridge or Lightroom or some other browser/DAM software that can interpret DNGs if you can't see them in the Finder & want to.
By the way, because it uses the Apple raw engine, shonky DNGs are blacked out in Aperture too (along with, I presume, iPhoto).

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Importing wav. files into itunes on MAC OSX

I have a question, hope someone has the answer.
I am a new mac owner, new ipod owner too.
I currently have 200-300 gigabytes of SHN and FLAC files on my PC (mostly grateful dead soundboard recordings).
I am planning on converting these files to WAV. format with "artist", "album" (show date), and "song" ID tags.
I then plan on copying these WAV. files to my imac or separate external hard drive formatted for MAC OSX.
OK THE QUESTION (finally, no?),
When WAV. files are imported into itunes are they automatically converted to the MP4 AAC format?
I have looked in the itune PREFERENCES menu I go to ADVANCED and see that there is a control for switching file formats for importing CD'S but there is no mention of importing WAV. files.
On another note it is too bad that Apple has not come up with a file conversion utility for itunes, where FLAC, SHN, and WAV. files could be converted to MP4AAC, Apple Losless, etc...
I appreciate any answers to my question, and also comments regarding the general subject of audio file conversion on the MAC OSX.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, I must point out that WAV doesn't support tagging, so there is no point in converting your compressed FLAC and SHN files to WAV before making the move over to a Mac.
Rather, it would make more sense to use the free and excellent Max to convert all these files automatically to the format of your choice, such as Apple Lossless. You can even run multiple conversions simultaneously, so you could, say, convert your whole lot of files to Apple Lossless while at the same time convert the same lot to AAC for use on your iPod. The program is highly configurable, allowing you to specify destination directories and whether or not the output files are added directly to your iTunes library. Also, the tagging will be preserved when converting FLAC and SHN files to supported formats.

How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
So Help me..
My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened? It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive. On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled. CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
Good luck!

Leica X1 DNG files not viewable thumbnails in Media Expression

Hi-
I just bought a Leica X1 which shoots raw in DNG format but the raw DNG files it creates to not display thumbnails in Media Expression (formerly a micorsoft product, now Phase one).
I am running mac OS X 10.6.4
One "solution" offered in the Leica forum was to run the Leica DNG file in DNG converter... I did and it worked but that is a really really clumsy solution to what I feel should not be a problem.... and renaming and deleting original files etc it a real PITA if you shoot any number of photos.
I know that Nikon had issues with new versions of NEF files which had something to do with "header changes" in the NEF file before ACR could decode them, and I'm wondering if there is some similar issue with DNG that I am not aware of.
Any information would greatly be appreciated.
cheers,
tom

the "appear for a moment" is probably Aperture showing the preview image in the .raw file, before deciding that it can't handle the raw image data.
(If it is this, then odds are Finder will show the images but Preview.app will also fail to.)
Clearly MacOS understands the .raw file format, but thinks that it doesn't have support for however your camera identifies itself in the EXIF data. Modifying the Raw.plist is the way to try, for now.

Corrupted 80% file Illustrator CS3 with MAC OSX 10.5.4

I dont succeed to open the greater part of our file CS2 and CS3 saved in local or in network.
this is the error message:
"impossible to read the file because plug-in it has not been able to interpret these file".
original its in IT lenguage :"Impossibile leggere il file perché il plug-in non ha potuto interpretare questo file"
i use Mac OSX 10.5.4 illustrator release 13.0.1 for manage font, Linotype FontExplorer X last release. its very hark to work in this situation :s...

#1) Update to Illustrator 13.0.2
#2) It's always been Adobe's stance that you should
never save and open files across a network because corruption can happen. Work locally, then copy to the server.

File encoding issues with Mac OSX?

I really love DreamWeaver and I think its the best editor our there, except for one thing - the file encoding!
I tried setting the default encoding to UTF-8 under Preferences -> New Document, but that won't cut it.
Dreamweaver always creates/saves new files as Western/ISO format, so I always have to open them up with another text editor and overwrite the file with UTF-8 format.
Is there a fix to this or a extension to download?
I'm using CS4 on Mac OSX Leopard.

CS4 should automatically save files as UTF-8. It's the default setting. You shouldn't need to do anything special.
One thing you could try is removing the Prefs file. On a Mac, it's located at <username>:Library:Preferences:Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Prefs.

Why don't my Lightroom 4 DNG files show up correctly in Picasa 3.9?

Although I have really learned to love Lightroom I still like the elegant, quick and simple Picasa for certain tasks -- uploading photos to my Google web albums, setting screensaver and desktop photos, etc. But I think that Lightroom 4 made some changes to the dng format which means that when Picasa imports the files into its database the dng files (not the accompanying jpg) come in squished and banded. Does anyone else find this problem? Is it something that Lightroom can fix or can they communicate with Picasa to solve it?
I know that given Lightroom's power and fantastic ability to "develope" photos, it might seem unnecessary to use Picasa and I do admit that I don't use Picasa frequently, but still it does have its uses and I would like to see the two programs play nice together. I am using Windows 64 bit, Lightroom 4 and Picasa 3.9 and phy camera is a Nikon D3100.

When you convert a raw file to DNG there are some options such as adding fast load data (prolly want to turn that off for compatibility reasons) as well as Lossy Compression (you don't say whether or not you have selected that option). For Picasa to be able to access your DNGs, the odds are you'll have to make sure you select an older DNG spec such as 1.3 instead of the current DNG 1.4 spec used in LR4. Other than that, you may need to wait till Picasa updates their software to deal with the new DNG spec.

BOOTCAMP partition not showing up on Mac OSX after resize

Hello, I have a iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.9.5 and recently I resized my bootcamp partition and reformatted the OSX partition for a clean install. After the formatting, I cannot see or access the Bootcamp partition anymore. I really don't want to have Windows anymore, but I messed up thinking I would be able to recover my files. I tried following these answers but none of them worked for me. Now I can try to boot into Windows, but it gets into a disk error.

Maxtor One Touch III not showing up on Mac OSX or Windows

ok so i have this Maxtor one touch III external hard drive that i used to use with my XP computer a few years ago... its 500 GB. so i plug it in to my Mac and install the software and it doesn't show up on my desktop or my disk utility. although, it does show up in my system profiler. so, it didn't work for mac... then i went onto my parallels account that has windows 7 on it and it still doesn't show up. what can i do to fix this?

Hi,
all this, with the exception of the Maxtor software, should indicate a no-problem with that HD.
Personally I have always avoided the provided software, since it is not needed for external HDs.
If you have access to a Windows PC try connecting the HD there and see what comes up.
And if you don't have valuable files on that HD, you might repartition it there as well.
Could be a rare case of a 'dynamic disk' http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314343/en-us which is something that Macs can't handle.

File Server For Both Mac OSX and Windows?

Hello All,
With HP discontinuing theier HP Server line, I've been browsing around for quite some time at a good box to use as a file server. My windows Home server is about to die i feel, and most PC based servers seem just as pricey as me acquiring a Mac Pro Server with Two 1TB Hard Drives and using OSX Lison Server.
However, before I take that plunge I was really wondering if anyone had had any success or stories that they can share about using a Lion Server with windows 7 PC's.
I use a MAC, but everyone else here uses windows. On my the home server box we bascially store all of our digital photographs, personal files and such as a backup. Granted the Apple time machines and mac mini's can be used as the same but you loose the redundant hard drives and stability of comintuing to upgrade if you run out of space.
So I'm hoping that its positive and pretty much flawless where the Mac Pro with Lion Server could just save and serve files galore without slow down or problems. With my past mac experience that's usually not the case. I just want to replace that box, have a new box that can store files off of the independent machiens with a here or there additional backup on it as needed.
The other plus if I take this plunge is I have a Mac Pro box for greater functionality at home over my Macbook Pro! So yeah, a little perk for me...
Thanks in advance for any news you can help or offer me... I know I'm probably asking something that a ton of others may have alredy asked and sorry for the duplication if thats the case

Mac OS X Server can do all that.
You can keep All the user accounts on the Server, or you can just use it for File Sharing. Does Windows SMB or Apple File System sharing without issue. Disk Utility can create Mirrored RAIDs right out of the box, that expensive RAID card is only needed for RAID 5.
I run a Server at home like a School Server with ALL User files on the Server (you log on at any Mac and your files appear, because they are on the Server). User files are on a pair of Mirrored RAID drives, and I use Time Machine to automatically back up all the User Files on the Server once an hour. Gigabit Ethernet Switches provide "Hard Drive-like" file access.

Files "greyed" out on Mac OSX

The files in my "files" workspace tab and menu bar above it in Dreamweaver CC are greyed out (they don't show any colours), on my windows 7 computer they do have colour.
I also have problems editing my CSS at times, it will blank out while I am editing, and Dreamweaver's been crashing.
On an additional note I am using SVN as well on my local area network, is it possible that this could be the cause of my frustration, since it only started happening after setting up the SVN?
Thank you, your help will really be appreciated!

Anybody have a resolution for PRIAMOS file download using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Adobe Reader XI?

Does anyone have experience of the EU PRIAMOS file download system? I am experiencing difficulties in downloading files in Adobe Reader format ( I have set the default PDF reader to Adobe Reader).
The PRIAMOS system can only communicate with Windows 32bit - Mozilla Firefox 2 and higher or......
IE 6 or 7
IE 7 or 8 (in compatibility mode)
Supported PDF programmes are:
Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher
My Adobe Reader software is the latest version (Adobe Reader XI for Mac with latest update as at 10 Sept 2013)
The PRIAMOS system does not officially support Mac computers, but PRIAMOS has been used successfully with OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard) and Mozilla Firefox (2.5) (with built in PDF reader disabled and Adobe Reader enabled) and Adobe Reader 8.1
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Oops, I hit return before I was finished!
In short, does anyone have any ideas apart from those I've tried. One solution seems to be to go back to 10.6.4 - one of the other discussions seem to indicate that the probelm comes in with 10.6.8.
Thanks!

File I/O in Mac OSX

Does anybody know how to specify a filename and its path in MacOS X? I'm trying to read a dictionary file into a data structure, but can't get the IO to work properly. My CS professor says my code is good, but he doesn't know how to specify the path either. I've tried the following.
/hansona/Desktop/Dictionary.txt
~/hansona/Desktop/Dictionary.txt
hansona/Desktop/Dictionary.txt
Dictionary.txt
/Dictinary.txt
/Desktop/Dictionary.txt
Desktop/Dictionary.txt
I've also tried all of these using \ instead of /
NONE of them work. If anyone could throw me a bone here I would appreciate it. Also, here is my code.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class playThing {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
String filename;
int state=0;
while(state==0){
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter a path: ");
filename=stdin.readLine();
try{
File filepath = new File(filename);
FileInputStream fStream = new FileInputStream(filename);
InputStreamReader tempRead = new InputStreamReader(fStream);
BufferedReader word = new BufferedReader(tempRead);
System.out.println(word.readLine());
state=1;
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("Error in opening input file:\n"+e.toString());
state=0;
�

Here is an example
String filename1 = "\directory";
String filename2 = File.separator + "directory";Both of those strings are the same. However, filename2 should work under any OS (assuming that directory exsists). Such as Unix/Linux, which use "/" as a separator.
I hope that answers your question.

Silently Install a CMMAC file from SCCM onto Mac OSX

Hello,
is it possible to silently install a CMMAC program that has been generated using the CMAPPUTIL program on osx?
if i deploy it, it always prompts for the user to install at a deadline or install now.
Thanks

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.
