Does Aperture record detailed Flash data in metadata?

I'm taking an online course in Flash Photography and wonder if Aperture records detailed flash data anywhere.

Aperture will report what is in the EXIF tags Flash and Flash Compensation.
What specific data are you looking for?

How to record first-published date in metadata for use with US Copyright Office?

Hello,
I'd like to record the date when an image is first published in the image's metadata. This is useful for when I need to send group submissions of published works to the US Copyright Office. Can anyone advise as to the best place to record this information using Lightroom's metdata fields?
Many thanks in advance,
Matt

I haven't found a field for this in Lightroom itself. It only seems to support Date Created, not the first Publication Date which is essential for copyright registration. For now I'm sticking Publication Date in the Instructions field, but I don't know if that's the best solution.
A Publication Date field is available as part of the PLUS for Lightroom plug-in, which adds fields that support the PLUS image rights standard. It's a bit pricey, but if you run a business that does this all the time it might be worth it.
You can see the plug-in's Publication Date field being used toward the end of the Part II demo movie at the PLUS for Lightroom plug-in site.
What's interesting is that Lightroom 3 contains an "IPTC Extension" metadata panel that says PLUS Version 1.2.0 at the bottom, but this panel doesn't contain a Publication Date field. If you look at the XMP reference for PLUS Version 1.2.1, it lists a First Publication Date field. I don't know if that field got added in PLUS 1.2.1, but it's definitely missing from Lightroom 3.5.
In the Lightroom feature request forum, the closest request I found was this one, so it might be worth adding a request for a Publication Date field.

Can I find out the record details in the SQLPlus for the no data found

We can only check the error data details in the Enterprise Manager.
How can I check the problem record details by using the sqlplus environment? From now, I only know which table through deferror and defcall. Since we want to check and solve the problem by telnet to the system and then using sqlplus only.

I'm having some difficulty understanding the
question... Can you rephrase the question?
What do you mean by "error data details"?
Are you saying that you currently know how to "check
the error data details" through OEM and want to learn
how to do the same thing in SQL*Plus?
What do you mean by "deferror" and "defcall"?
What problem, exactly, are you trying to solve?

Dear Justin,
First, thanks your reply.
Yes, you are right. From now, we can solve the replication error by knowing which record has the problem. We check the error detail as follows:
OEM-->Distributed-->Advanced Replication-->Adminitration-->Error Tab-->Choose the error record, then press the Detail button--> We can check the corresponding Call # details ( Original Val, New Val and Current Val). Once we got these information, we can check both database to solve the problem.
Let me say my question again.
When we found the no data found error in the alert_mydb.log. We check the error in the sql statement - "select * from deferror" which can find out the deferred_tran_id. Then we use this deferred_tran_id to find the PACKAGENAME by "select * from defcall where deferred_tran_id in (select deferred_tran_id from deferror)". The PACKAGENAME contains the table name, right? How can I found out the original record cause this no data found error using the sql statement?
Many thanks.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data. It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password. They took about 41+ dollars from my account. I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

No. From the second link below.

Does Aperture show changes made using Nik Software plugins in its metadata?

I recently heard on a photography podcast that when you use one of the Nik Software plugins, Aperture records the changes made in its metadata. I have not been able to find this, but I hope its true. Please let me know where this can be found.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

It was the TWIP Podcast from a couple of weeks ago, and Scott Bourne was speaking. This is from the show notes:
"Scott points out that the one difference between the way Aperture handles and the way Lightroom handles it is that when it roundtrips back in Aperture it retains and edit list of the adjustments that were done so if you ever need to go back and see what you did you can see the steps and not have to guess at your changes."
Now that I am re-reading this, I am guessing that the info. is only available if you re-enter the plugin from within Aperture. Although it is not what I originally thought, it would still be pretty helpful. I will check it out tonight.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

Dimension values display order and record details

Hi All,
I have explicitly ordered my dimension values to be in a logical order instead of alphabetical. Ex: Small, Medium, Large. This works great in the navigation tree but when I view a specific record and it has those 3 dimvals they are listed in alphabetical order.
Is there a when doing a record query to ask Endeca to respect the same display order as in the nav query?
Thanks,
Luc

We are used to add two dummy records in each dimension.
We add the following data:
We use '-1' (surr-key) for Invalids and '-2' for Unknown.
Easy way to populate these dimensions is to add a script together with all objects when you release new functionality. Beware you use the same descriptions.
Even better is to think of a more general solution (more easy to maintain) and store these values in a support table. In such a table you will be able to add more columns to get more details per row. Use this reference table when you load youre dimension. Also you will find the opportunity to add more error handling cases. Especially when you add the dimension in this support table.

Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store

I am trying to connect to an external data source (web service) that is hosted on another server through SharePoint designer.
I go to the external content type section->new content type-> External system "click here to discover external data sources and define operations"
Add connection->data source type ="wcf service"
enter url in the "service metadata url" and "service endpoint url"
Try to connect. While trying to connect, it gives me this error
"Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store"
error details: "The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults(either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration
behavior) on the service in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.
This solution with New-SPTrustedRootAuthority helped me in the following situation (which is like the one in the topic):
I have a WCF service hosted on the SharePoint web site with dynamic binding. SharePoint web site is configured with host header (DNS alias) and SSL. Kerberous is enabled (this config does not work with NTLM only). I use Secure Store Service identity (Windows
type) when configuring BSC connection to the service. When I try to connect to this WCF service from SharePoint Designer to create an external content type, I get this errror: "Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store".
These two steps resolved the issue:
1) Add SSL certificate of the web site where WCF service is hosted to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" of "Certificates (Local Computer)"
2) Run the following command in SharePoint PowerShell console:
foreach ($cert in (Get-ChildItem cert:\LocalMachine\Root)) { if (!$cert.HasPrivateKey) {New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name $cert.Thumbprint -Certificate $cert } }

P2 ingested footage with wrong date created metadata

Hello, we're trying to standarize all of the media for our systems. Part of this includes ingesting P2 footage using Prelude and encoding it as DVCHDPro quicktime files. I know that the recommended method that adobe gives for ingesting P2 footage is to keep the file structure in tact and use the media browser function of Premiere; this, however, doesn't suit our company's needs of maintaining a relativaly NLE-agnostic media library and having quicktime compatiable discrete video clips of all our media. We're using Mac OSX operating systems, by the way.
The problem is that, when using Prelude to ingest, it seems that Prelude obliterates the "date created" metadata and file data (e.g. when selecting the "get info" on the clip itself; that file data). After ingesting a clip, if I open it in Premiere, there is no date-based metadata that matches the original record time on the .mxf file itself. Nor when I view the clip in OSX's "get info" does the "date created" panel reflect the date that the original file was created. It seems that it should be possible to write the original "date created" data to the ingested file (in the ingest panel in Prelude I can see the correct "date created" time); FCPX is able to do this when ingesting P2 media using their systems. Is there an option that I'm missing or is this simply not possible with this version of Prelude?
To illustrate: here's a screencap of the ingest panel in prelude, notice the "date created" column reads 2013-06-28T11:43:05; which is the correct record date of that clip:
However, after I ingest the clip, both within Premiere and the "get info" panel in OSX, the "date created" now refers only to my import time:

Thanks both for your responses. I checked the .mxf file "date created" and it is indeed empty (see picture).
The "date modified time" however, is correct. I do understand that when dragging media directly from the media browser in premiere that the metadata displays correctly; what I think should also happen is that when the footage is ingested and transcoded via Prelude, it should also display correct metadata. As shown in my pictures above, prelude does indeed see the correct "date created" (wherever it gets that information); it just obliterates it after it transcodes the clip; it's not available either in the "get info data" (which, somehow, FCPX does do when importing P2 media through their system) nor (most strangely) in premiere. Any settings or changes that could be made to address this would be appreciated.

Aperture incorrectly duplicating exif data - how can I stop this?

The situation...
a) I have 2 cameras (Canon 5D, and a Canon 5D MII)
b) I imported photos from 2 Compact Flash cards (1 from each camera) where the file names (e.g. _MG_9670.CR2) clashed. (i.e. both cards used the same file numbering range)
c) Aperture imported the images correctly, however the EXIF data on both images match identically apart from image resolution. Aperture believes these photos were taken at the exact same date/time and with the same camera which of course is incorrect.
d) If I export the original files from aperture and use the finder 'Get Info' option I can see that the RAW files contain correct EXIF data, so the issue must purely be an aperture bug.
Question - is this a known bug and is there any way to work around this?
Unfortunately I have spotted this on some wedding photos I shot for a client so I have had to switch to Lightroom for some confidence in not loosing important photos. Hopefully if someone can provide a workaround before I get stuck into my editing I can switch back to Aperture that I am more familiar with.
Thanks
Adrian

Interesting problem. The duplicate filenames could be causing Aperture to get confused but I've never seen this myself. Do you have Do not import duplicates set in the Import pane? If it is not set and you set it does Aperture see the files on the second card as dups?
As a test, when you import from one of the cards (either one) rename the originals. Does the EXIF problem still happen? If not then you will need to rename one of the cameras files either on import or in the camera. I believe Canon allows you to set a filename no?
Also make sure to file a bug report with Aperture, Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback, look for the bug report entry.
If renaming the files does not fix the problem post back.

Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store is currently unavailable for users but not administrator

Hello,
We have a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Multi Tenant deployment. Our customers Site Collection Administrators can not create external content types in SharePoint Designer 2013.
When clicking on "External Content Types" in the menu they are getting the message "The Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store is currently unavailable." but users are still able to click on "External Content Type" in the "New"
section of the ribbon. However, when doing that the are getting throwed another error message: "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."
When logged in as the Active Directory Administrator via SharePoint Designer on one of the Site Collections everything works as it should.
It seems that there is some permissions missing but I can not figure out how to set this properly for the site users. I have tried to add users as administrators at both the Managed Metadata Store Applications and the Business Data Connectivity Application
with no result. I have also added the users with permissions on the Managed Metadata Store via the Tenant Administration panel for each site.
I would need this to work, and when it works I need to set the required permissions programatically via Powershell when provisioning sites and users.

Video recording details

Hello,
is there any opportunity to get some basic recording details on the videos recorded with the iPhone4? I mean...something like EXIF for the taken photos.
I currently browsed through a folder with recorded videos/photos of my little son and asked myself when I might have been recording this and that (my little son learning to walk, etc...)
But all I was able to find were the file dates (created/changed). I got a little scared because with the only information of these (wrong) dates and a name like IMG_1063.MOV I cannot recap the time when a video might have been recorded.
Can someone help me? What are you doing to avoid this? I don't like to estimate the recording dates (especially not after 2-3 yrs or so..) Or do I always have to rename the files when moving them off the iPhone?!

Great, man!
Exif in MOV-files...wow, didn't know that. And none of my appications does just show me them. Can I see the Exif-Info somewhere in iTunes or Apple Quicktime player?
Anyway...thanks for the very fast+helpful response, wjosten!

Why doesn't Aperture use iPhoto's date logic?

This is how image date logic works in iPhoto. This image date value is used in queries and sorts.
1. Image date is stored in database.
2. Initial value taken from image metadata if available.
3. If image metadata not available, use file date.
4. User can edit database date (does not change file header).
This is how it seems to work in Aperture 1.5
1. Image date is stored in database.
2. Initial value taken from iPhoto database if import from iPhoto.
3. If not import from iPhoto, initial value taken from image metadata if available.
4. If image metadata not available, use file date.
5. User CANNOT edit database date.
I was shocked (really, I'm still stunned) that Aperture 1.5 still does not equal iPhoto's date management capabilities. Since Aperture is a Pro application it's reasonable to have several date fields, but one of them should behave like iPhoto. That metadata field should be useable in queries/filters, sorts, display, book printing, etc. It should be the default date metadata element for all date related operations.
Please note, it's fine that Aperture does not muck with image file (exif) metadata -- that's dangerous. EXIF is a quasi-standard badly implemented.
So now, my question. Why?
Aperture 1.5 was a huge update. They fixed much more than I thought was possible. It could have been labeled Aperture 3.0. Offering it free to users was a genuine apology, gratefully accepted I'm sure. It took all my strength of will not to order it immediately, waiting instead for the initial reviews to come in.
So there had to be a reason Aperture's Product Manager, Joe Schorr, had not to implement iPhoto's image date behavior. Something he'd thought carefully about.
What was it?

Perhaps it's just that they don't have infinite resources ?
The big deal (for me) was that they can "import" files but leave them on the filesystem. In true Apple fashion though, they took the extra steps of allowing management of the images within the application (consolidate and relocate). Perhaps the knock-on effects of all the things they did implement prevented them from doing other things...
We see Apple as a corporate entity, master of its domain, all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful within the confines of an Infinite Loop. In reality it's a bunch of people who only have a fixed number of hours in the day to work. Someone takes the decision that X is more important than Y and Y is dropped for this release - it's that simple IMHO.
In any event, I'd like to know how many people worked on Aperture 1.5 - the difference between the Aperture update and the Lightroom update was huge! Do they have lots more engineers/QA, or did they just get more done in the same time-frame ?

Does aperture do camera specific fixes?

My camera (Sony NEX6) requires a software to fix the distortion when shooting with the kit lens. It's usually done by the camera but if I'm shooting RAW then you have to get a software to do it. Sony supply this software that does the fixing but does Aperture have this feature built in? Is it not working for me because my camera is too new?

aapl.crox wrote:
So I guess my best alternative right now is to use other software and export it as TIFF? I guess I will lose some data?
Use 16-bit TIFF and you'll be hard-pressed to _find_ anything missing. The disadvantages of 16-bit TIFF compared to RAW are:
- can be larger (many mfr's use a near-lossless RAW compression algorithm -- it removes data that the camera records but which the eye can't see)
- WB, white point, black point, and other parameters are "baked into" the file, resulting in a less "head-room" for adjustments.
I don't know the Sony software, but you might, as a starting workflow, go from camera to Sony's software, convert from RAW, set the above parameters, apply lens correction, export as 16-bit TIFF, and import into Aperture. You should keep your RAW files in case you want/need to go back to them, but in most cases having the corrected 16-bit TIFF as your Original in Aperture is likely to be more than usable.
I do something similar with a Sigma camera (DP2M). For me, the serpentine workaround adds enough encumbrance to outweigh whatever benefits the camera provides, so I end up dorking around in my full-frame truck when a sports car might win me more dates. Others feel otherwise .

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.
