Filter bar no longer displays metadata

For the last few days the filter bar in LR5 is not showing metadata. It says loading when you click on the metadata tab for a split second, but then nothing appears.
I've shutdown LR and my PC several times.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Using Firefox 4, the URL bar no longer displays the web address for my current web-site so I can't copy and paste links. Plus there's no refresh button.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and so far I really don't like it, but I still would like to give it a chance. However, the URL address bar no longer shows the current address for websites that I surf into. So it makes sharing pages or emailing links next to impossible. In addition to that, there is no Refresh icon that I can find so I'm stuck just hitting F5 to refresh my page.
Short of downgrading, is there anyway I can change those particular issues?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:

Battling claro-search. Address bar no longer displays "About Home". Instead I get "Go to Website" Problem?

I have been battling Claro-search. I have tried all displayed fixes including running Superantispyware and Malwarebytes. Every time I restart Firefox 16.0.1 the claro-search items show up in "About:config". My concern is that the address bar displays, "Go to Website" when it previously displayed "About Home". I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox using a download from Mozilla site. Any suggestions? Thanks. Paul

The "Remember Password" volatile menu bar no longer displays when I enter a required site login/password data.

When I attempt to log into a site that requires login / password data, the pop-up menu bar that would ask whether to save this password data or not momentarily displays then disappears befor I can tick my choice.
I tried re-installing Firefox but that didn't change the situation.
Please help as I can't log into a local server any more that requires login / password credentials.

I restarted the computer and checked what errors it was returning, these are all the errors i got.

Volume level bar no longer displays

I used to have a volume level bar. Every once in a blue moon in reappears but very rarely. Whats the deal?

Hi,
If you have volume up and down keys on the keyboard then give try those keys and see what happens.
You might also try unchecking hide inactive task bar icons depending on the system that you are using.

The web address bar no longer displays the url of the open tab, the refresh button doesn't work any longer, and the more time FF is open, the slower it eventually runs.

Downloaded FF4 a while back. Not the beta version. All seemed to work well for a while. Then the aforementioned problems began. I did not add any plugins or make any changes at all. Web site addresses do not show in tabs, and the refresh button is non-functional. After FF4 has been open a while, it begins to run slower and slower as if there is a memory leak.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Custom Metadata and the Filter Bar

A couple of month ago this was posted by another member/LR user:
I'm running Lightroom 2.3 on a WinXP system. I'm trying to use the library filter mechanism to display a subset of images based upon the values of some custom metadata fields.
All of the values for a given field are correctly displayed in the filter's drop-down list, but if I select one that contains embedded blanks, I'll get an empty set ("No photos in selected folder"). Take a look at the attached "embedded_blanks" screen shot. I should see one image, but instead don't see any. (BTW, an embedded underscore ['_'] will cause the same behavior, so there are probably other characters as well.)
There are also problems if I select the "No Value" option (which should show be the items for which the metadata hasn't been set). The attached "no_value" screen shot shows an example of this. Instead of showing 1 image, Lightroom is showing 4 -- all of the ones that do have a value!
Has anyone seen this before? I don't know where to check to see if this is a known problem.
One of the answers from a community expert confirmed it was a known problem, but not widely known. I have thus far installed v2.5 and this is still not working as it should - pretty much the same problem as above. I have created (and filled) certain thematic custom metadata fields specifically so I would be able to use them for the filter bar/Smart Collections and of course am a bit disappointed. The good news is that my limited testing shows that v3b has indeed corrected this issue YEAH!
In the meantime, does anyone know if this was corrected in v2.6? It appears from the release notes that this as for camera updates only so I was not planning on installing unless somehow this problem was addressed.
Thanks!
Jeff

I don't think so. But it does appear to be fixed in the LR3Beta as you say.

Status bar no longer being displayed in browser

I am running an Oracle Application Server 10g (Forms and Reports services). When a form is displayed, it use to have the "default menu" displayed (action, edit,query...) and the "status bar" below the form. The status bar is no longer being displayed. I don't remember changing the configuration files (formsweb.cfg...) in anyway that would cause this.
Does anyone have an idea?

Tiago,
Are you refering to the browser status bar?
I'm referring to the oracle forms status bar which would display a frm-xxxxx error message should it occur. It was being displayed with all my forms, and now it is not.
Thanks.

The "blue bar" no longer properly displays Chinese characters.

I recently updated my Adobe Reader from 7 to 9.4, and since doing so, Firefox no longer displays Chinese characters in the title bar. Instead, I now only see question marks.
I've added Chinese to the preferred languages and also tried switching the browser's text to Unicode, but neither of these has made a difference.
It's certainly a minor issue, but if anyone knows what to do, I'd greatly appreciate the help!
Thanks!

A possible cause is that Firefox has a problem with the (system) font that is used to display the Chinese characters on the title bar.
Were any new fonts installed recently?
You can try to use the system file checker to see if there are any problems with font files.

Video files don't display Metadata (Canon 60D)

I use Lightroom for archiving both stills and video. I use two cameras for my work: a Canon 5D MK II and a Canon 60D. This being the case the filter function is very useful as I can search for images from each camera separately (and check exposure info etc).
I have no problems with the 5D. But Lightroom doesn't display any metadata for video files from the 60D. Interestingly the image files do not have this issue and display the metadata I need: Exposure, focal length etc. Its just the video files... They contain no info. If 60D video files are present in the catalogue the filter bar at the top reads "Unknown Camera" and displays the (correct) number of 60D video files. I am up to date with Firmware 3.3.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I think you have it! Thank you. Yes, there are no sidecar files with the 60D video files (only with the 5D video files). But why isn't the 60D providing these files?... Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks again!

How do I solve this problem:Photo's no longer displayed (Adobe Flash player 13,0,0,214) in online photo album maker (Webprint.nl) after update to Firefox 29.0.1

After I (automatically) updated to Mozilla Firefox version 29.0.1, the online photo album crreator of Webprint.nl no longer displayes the photo's that I uploaded.
The photo's are displayed again when I use an older Firefox browser (version 28.*) from an another computer. This is my old (WIndows Vista) computer that I use when my new Windows 7 computer has problems.
It looks like the new Firefox has a problem with Adobe Flash player 13,0,0,214; which is the newest version according to Adobe.
Please help!
Kid regards, Rob from Gouda, NL.

Fonts no longer display in iTunes

After updating iTunes, fonts no longer display in iTunes and a few other places. Fix ideas?

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

My iPod no longer displays artwork for certain albums

Ok, so here's my problem. Every so often when I alter the artwork on my iPod with iTunes, I have to reset the artwork by clicking the "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox in my menu, then clicking apply, and repeating the process to redisplay them. If I don't do this, sometimes I wind up with a black box where the artwork would normally be displayed when I peruse my iPod. I know that this is a common problem for some people so hopefully there are some on this site and know what I'm talking about. Anyway, to my current problem, when I attempted to do that last night, it was just about at the end of the progress bar when an error message appeared that said "The iPod 'name' cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So, because it didn't complete the cycle, certain albums no longer display the artwork. It's still there on my iPod when I go into iTunes, but when I go through the actual menus on my iPod such as Cover Flow etc. I instead see that annoying box with the musical note in it. Has anyone come across this problem before? I would very much appreciate a solution

I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.
