ERROR WHEN SAVING METADATA TO FILE

how do I fix this

tiffs are supported, but you probably have some incompatible metadata in your tiffs (assuming tiffs are not otherwise corrupt). Consider logging bug report and sending example of offending tiff to Adobe.
Were all those tiffs updated using a common application (other than Lightroom)?
Consider using exiftool to read/write metadata and see how that works. Assuming it is what I think it is (and not an unsupported camera problem or other legit incompatibility), you may even be able to fix the problem using exiftool, but definitely save problem files to support bug report to Adobe.

Errors when writing metadata to files on Windows Server

Good day!
I have an iMac running OSX 10.9 (Maverick) and Lightroom 5.2.
My catalog is on the local iMac drive, and the images are on SMB shared drive (handled by Windows 2012 server).
I decided to do the final layout of my album using InDesign, and for that I needed to access to images using Bridge. So selected all the images (the rated once...) and issue a Metadata/Save command.
The system came back with errors on many of the files (such as Photos are read only, and unknown errors).
Retrying to save the metadata on image that was flagged with an error usually (but not always) worked.
I tried to select save the metadata for few (6) images in a time, many times it was ok, but sometimes, one or two of them failed (and retrying again usually solved the problem).
It looks to me like a timing related issue.
Any ideas?
(After spending about an hour on this, I have exported the images to my local drive...). In general I don't have similar problems with other apps.
Any ideas?

I'm experiencing more or less the same behavior (see Read-only error when writing metadata to file over network (Synology DS1315+ using AFP) ). For me however, the problem is more pronounced if I use the AFP protocol and is better (I think as you described) if I use SMB (all done on a Synology DS1315+). With SMB it most often works but in very rare cases I also get the "read only" message!
Do you have solution to this? Or are you stuck as I am?
Cheers, Chris

Error when Writing Metadata to Files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC)

We get an error when writing metadata to files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC). In the same drive and folder, the PC can successfully write a keyword to a file on the PC, where the Mac returns an error. I have researched this at the Adobe Knowledgebase, but their answer seemed to indicate it was a global issue, and we don't see that behavior on the PC.
The client is a Mac of course, and the server volume is a Windows share volume. The Mac is bound to AD, and the domain\username and username formats have both been tried when logging in, but you receive the error in both.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm having the same problem using FreeNAS (which uses Samba and Netatalk in the backend), but I tried with both AFP and SMB on Mavericks and Yosemite, I still have the same issue. I think it might be a timing issue with how lightroom interact with a slower write delay using network shares. I suggest you also chime into this thread: Lightroom 5 can't write metadata to DNG files I really hope this is resolved as this is impacting my productivity as I moved my workflow to my Macbook with a shared NAS.

Upload Center 2010 error when saving Powerpoint 2010 file to SharePoint 2013

I'm experiencing an issue when attempting to save a Powerpoint 2010 file to our SharePoint 2013 farm. If a user opens the file in Edit mode, when saving the file Upload Center 2010 complains the upload failed, and PowerPoint 2010 displays a message
"Upload Failed The server version of this file was updated by another author" and 2 buttons are displayed "Keep My Version" and "Keep Server Version". This is incorrect though, because I confirmed on the server end
the changes have been made. If a user keeps hitting save, sometimes it won't fail during the upload.
If a user opens a file in Read Only mode, then clicks on the Edit button in Powerpoint 2010 and saves the changes, they are then prompted by the error "Refresh Required This file needs to be refreshed with updates. Click Save to refresh
and retry uploading your changes." Once again this is incorrect, as the changes have already been made in SharePoint.
I've recreated this error on multiple workstations, have tried re-installing Upload Center 2010, and have tried complete repairs of Office 2010. The occur continues to persist. This only occurs with Powerpoint 2010 though, and none of the other
Office 2010 products. I feel this is a bug in Upload Center 2010 with SharePoint 2013, because when I save from PowerPoint 2010 through a WebDAV connection over file explorer, it saves fine without any issue.
Has anyone run into this problem before? Below are some screenshots of the errors.
Here's the error when opening in Edit mode:
Here's the error when opening in Read Only mode, and then clicking on Edit in PowerPoint:

Read-only access when saving metadata to file from Adobe Lightroom on a MAC OS to Windows shared drive

We have a group of 5 people editing and indexing photos to a shared drive on a windows server, everyone has its own catalog and working on different folders to avoid any locking conflicts.
The windows computers don't have any problems but the Mac's don't write the updated metadata to all files because they get the message "Photos have read-only access".
The environment is the following:
2x Macs workstations running:
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
- iMAC with MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
3x Windows Workstations:
- Windows 7
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Server:
- Shared drive on a Windows Server 2012 Standard
I have searched the internet, no one has this problem with this exact setup but I have tried all the solutions I found, namely:
1. Connect to the network drive with cifs:// protocol
2. Change the settings of the nsmb.conf for 'smb1_only' protocol
3. Mount the drive manually by command line
Nothing worked, any ideas?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have the same issue and wonder if Lightroom 6 will resolve it. I tried AFP, SMB2, SMB3 and they all failed to save metadata randomly. When I use NFS from OS X then it works fine but it's a little slower than SMB and it's not as native as the mount via AFP or SMB, so it's harder to maintain. My server is a FreeNAS 9.2 (FreeBSD) which is running Samba, Netatalk and native NFS.

Error when saving an .xlf File

HI,
I´m trying to internationalize my WebDynpro Project, so I do like in the Tutorial is said and change the .xlf files.
But when I want to save the changed files I get an error message.
Save failed: Cant´t find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key ymsg_SetCollection
Does somebody know why?
Thanks
Uli

Hi Ulrike,
I would suggest that you upgrade to SP7 level. Infact now SP9 is available. In that version these problems have been solved.

IAs 6.0 Deployoment error when saving a war file: different size?

Hi,
Ever got a an error message about different sizes( aka "expected n bytes,
got m")) when trying to save a war file in the iAS 6.0 GUI deployment tool?
Thanks,

Once I experienced the same thing when I replaced files in the package using
winzip.
Repack the content using jar and it should work.

Error when Saving Files ID=-39

We are using CS5 on iMac and get the following error when saving:
Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file ended unexpectedly. Try using a backup copy. ID = -39
Generally after receiving this error the file is corrupt.
What can we do? Do you need more info? I am not sure what to do with this error.

Most probably that is your problem.
Try if saving to your hard disk solves your problem.

Photo "...changed in external application" when saving metadata in LR2

I am getting occasional error dialogs saying that one or more photos have been changed in an external application when saving metadata. I'm quite certain the photos have not been touched since the catalog was built--two days ago.
I built an entirely new catalog after installing LR2. I changed some keywords as I not all images were keyworded in the same way. When I save metadata, either for an entire folder or for all files, I get occasional error dialogs about the image being changed externally. I'm quite certain that I changed nothing.
Running Win XP Pro SP2 + all updates except SP3, LR2, on Xeon 3070 with 3GGB RAM and lots of hard drive space.

If I didn't think my humor and irony would be misinterpreted as being rude, I might say "Why are you such a troublemaker, by asking this question? Don't you know from reading the forum, that there are multiple opinions about how LR works with changes done outside itself?" Ooops, I actually said it.<G>
But, seriously, I've had many of the same questions, so I've been following the various threads, and still haven't got a clear and relatively simple answer to "how to work with LR images and catalogs using outside applications, and not mess stuff up?"
So, again, seriously, thanks for asking. Hoping, like you, to get clearer understanding.
Regards,
Peter

I was having an issue where each time I would modify a photo, LR would change the Capture Date to the Modified Date. Upon a quick search, I believe the correct way to stop this from happening is for me to uncheck the auto write to XMP which I did. After correcting the myriad of inadvertent date changes, I selected all the photos I was working with and attempted to save the metadata only to get this warning/question: "One or more of these photos has been changed in an external application. Should Lightroom overwrite the settings on disk?" I searched this and I'm confused because I'm not editing the photos in an external application; the only external app that is even remotely touching these photos is Dropbox, which is where my LR catalog is stored. Does Dropbox have something to do with this message or am I missing something? To overwrite or not to overwrite is the question now, I guess, but I'd like to figure out why this question is being posed so I can fix it from the start.

Hi welcome.
Are you able to furnish information about which files metadata is being saved - RAW files (XMP sidecar files in reality), JPEG, TIFF, PSD etc?
Are there any patterns to this error message appearing?

Error when saving an Outlook attachment eg. Word Doc after opening it.

we made the group policy change which was giving an error when saving from opened attached files.
But for 1 particular RDS user the error still seems to be occurring. i've tried the following,
1. recreating outlook.
2. recreating user profile.
3. deleted the group policy history from the registry.
4. tried removing outlook add-ins.
your help would be really appreciated.
kind regards

Hi,
What is the error? Does outlook crash? Would you please also detail the group policy change?
We can try cleaning out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check the result.
We can refer to the following link for the detailed steps to locate and find the temp folder:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Then we need to use OutlookTempCleaner to clean the folder:

Invalid image error when saving to pdf

I keep getting an invalid image error when saving a MS Publisher file as a pdf. Can anyone help with solving this issue?

You need to provide system and version info and explain how you actualyl produce the PDF. Unless you use the Acrobat PDF printer, I don't see how Adobe software would be involved in any of this, as recent versions of MS Office products can save PDFs natively...
