Don't understand: "the file [eg] 'Stained Glass l jpg' is offline..."

Hi there,
New to Lightroom 2; making some progress. I thought that I imported 800 images from either Elements 7 (that I have and want to use as Editor), or my hard drive--but I think there is something amiss. After I surveyed about a hundred images I came across a batch of about 60 pictures that I took of the new Opus Dei complex in NYC last November.
Well, after the 1st. image of the Opus Dei batch was labeled (right word?) "The file named 'Stained Glass L JPG' is offline or missing " I said, Shucks! and went to the next photo of the batch--then I realized that all of the images are inaccessible in Lightroom.
I must have botched the Import procedure, but I cannot figure out why lots of images are accessible--a lot of them are not.
Thank you.

Bill- If you go to grid view in Library, you can see easily what photos are offline or missing. Missing in this context means LR cannot locate the file. This happens when a folder has been moved or renamed outside of LR, i.e., in the Finder or Explorer.
The first thing to try is to locate physically the image file, then direct LR to it. It most likely is on the disk where it started.

    I keep getting this error when trying to open some of my illustrator files. Usually after trying 5 or 6 time it will mysteriously open without a problem. I've reinstalled Illustrator and that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 and that didn't work.
    Why does it sometimes open and sometimes not???
    I've lost I don't know how many hours screwing around with this and REALLY pissing me off!!!
    AURGH!

    I think this has something to do with the PNG plugin.

  • HT4847 Don't understand the purpose of icloud storage

    Hello,
    Maybe I'm alone on this one, but even after reading Apple's articles on iCloud and iCloud storage, I don't understand the purpose of it.  I am only using 23.5 of a 25 Go storage (all of it is backup of all my apps and files (not sure the movies and music is covered even though the iPad general setting info implies this since I'm in Europe) and yet, if I delete the app files from the iPad, I also delete them from the cloud.  So for instance, I want to update to the latest iOS and it says I'm short 312 Mo and need to delete stuff from the iPad. 
    If I understand correctly, the only way to do this safely is to make sure a duplicate is on my PC via iTunes. So then what do I need the iCloud extra storage for (for which I am paying)?  Is this like a SkyDrive or Dropbox or not???
    Please someone clear this up in simple, step-by-step type language.  I feel like I'm getting a round around when I read or take to Apple folks via email.  Thanks in advance!

    Movies, music and apps are not part of your back ups, they are all available already on Apples servers as part of the iTunes Store. Backups consist of settings, photos and other data which cannot be obtained from elsewhere.
    iCloud is not general online storage like Dropbox, in addition to back ups it keeps all your app data from apps such as contacts, calendars etc so it can be accessed by all your devices and keep them in sync. But in keeping with the mobile system structure the data is accessed through the app rather than a folder structure.

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

  • I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

    So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum?

  • Java tutorial - helps, problem  is i don't understand the API

    I don't understand the JAVA Tutorials or the API

    Take two steps back.
    Buy a book on basic Java Programming. You need to understand the concepts behind programming before you should start reading the API.
    But kudos for at least trying to read the API.
    Now look at the column on the left, and follow the link called [url http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/] Tutorials 
    and then the link titled [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html]The Java Tutorial (Java Series).
    And finally read through the sections starting with [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html]Your First Cup of Java.
    Then once you have been through all of that, come back and ask for clarification
    on any specific points that you have trouble understanding.
    Finally (Because the Finally always gets executed) Try taking a class in java programming.

  • HT5463 Don't understand the Silence section in Do Not Disturb.  I do NOT want to silence calls at any time.  How do I achieve this?

    Don't understand the Silence section in Do Not Disturb.  I do NOT want to silence the phone at all.  I have entered Allow Calls from 'Everyone". 

    If you do not want to silence the phone at all, you just need to set both Manual and Sheduled to off (not green). Those two switches turn Do Not Disturb on and off. The "Silence" section is only relevant when Do Not Disturb is On and determines whether it is active only while the screen is locked and Do Not Disturb is On or at all times that Do Not Disturb is On. Also, if Do Not Disturb is Off, it doesn't matter what the "Allow calls from" is set to.
    If Do Not Disturb is On you will see a moon icon on the right side of the status bar (somewhere left of the battery %). More information at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463

  • Don't understand the workflow in e-commerce

    Is there a place to see the backend of an online store working, or to see how it's supposed to be set up? My previous experience with shipping cart systems is that once the order is placed, it gives you the ability to change the status of the order, from something like "processing" to "shipped" or maybe "In Progress". Once you change it to "Shipped", it updates the customer via email and it takes the order off any WIP reports.
    I setup the online store in a dummy company, and ordered something from it, using "COD" for payment, then I went to see how all that worked. I can't see anything that moves the order through the process to the end. It looks like that might be something I have to setup with workflows. Is that correct? If not, how does the order go from a new order to a shipped order?
    I'm sure it does it or can do it, I just don't understand the way it all works. A tutorial or demo would be great, but I haven't been able to locate one.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,
    The order status is changed as explained here -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/order-status.html
    and payment is applied to the cash order as explained here -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/order-payments.html
    Hope that helps!

  • HT204088 I don't understand the charges on my account for Itunes.  When I asked for history online, I get no results.  Please help.

    I don't understand the charges on my credit card for itunes.  please help

    Your credit card is only linked to one iTunes account, and you've checked the purchase history on it via your computer's iTunes as per the page that you posted from ? And you don't have iTunes Match or any auto-renewing subscriptions (I'm not sure if they show on the purchase history or not, I don't have any so I can't check) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    And you haven't added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? Each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so. Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If you can't find anything on your account's purchase history then you should probably contact your card issuer and get the card cancelled and replaced. You can also contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    I don't know what your second post means.

  • Filter don't work or I don't understand the workflow

    Hi.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Aperture 3.2.4
    I use AP for long time without problems.
    Maybe I don't understand the workflow of filters.
    I edit some photos, make HDRs and use external Plugins from Nik.
    When I use the filter to show TIFFs or edit with external applications I don't see the fotos when I use both rules.
    When I use only TIFFs I see TIFFs but only BlackWhite fotos. The colored HDRs also TIFFs but I don't see it.
    When I use only External Edit I see HDRs but only colored HDRs.
    When I use both I see nothing, see screenshot.
    Make I a mistake  ?
    I will not use keyword AP should do his job.

    Maybe my question is not clear.
    A additionally screenshot is more clear.

  • Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions?

    Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions? All I want to do is change the font and size of a table or div.
    http://www.allgearinc.com/AG12SSWL-Swift.htm -One problem page

    If you want to change the fonts of the entire page then this code will do the trick:
    body {
        font-size: 16pt;
        color: silver;
         font-family: whatever, goes, here;
    If you want to change the fonts of ALL tables on a page then the code is something like this:
    table {
        font-size: 20pt;
        font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
        font-style: italic;
        font-weight: bold;
    what exactly do you want to change?  Can you be a bit specific so that Ben or Ken can give you the exact code and tell you about the short-hand method to write the code in one line.
    Have you bought a book on CSS yet?  If not, it is a good idea to get one as a reference.  Eric Meyer writes good books on CSS.
