How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files?

Using PSE9 on 2 PCs. Files are stored locally on each, and updates synced via Windows Mesh.
Use case issue:
1) Add tag to jpg on PC1 using PSE.
2) Execute PSE "write to file" command before closing app
3) Confirm on PC2 via Windows Explorer that tag info is updated on local file
4) Open PSE on PC2, bur additional tag info is not recognized by PSE.
5) Tried to re-import test files in PSE using "Get Files" function, but tag data was still not read by PSE.
6) Manually added new tag to tag list, reloaded PSE, but new tag info still not read on file.
7) Ran Optimize and Repair catalog functions, but problem persisits.
How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files without rebuilding the entire catalog every time I edit a file?

Simple : you can't.
Why ? Because the tags are stored in the database of the catalog. When you 'write' metadata to files, you can see it does work. The new tags are written to the files. But the new tags are ignored by the catalog in the second computer. You'd have to delete the file entry from the catalog and reimport it, supposing the tag is already in the tag list. Otherwise the tag would appear in the 'imported tags' category.
The Organizer is not meant to be a multi-user database.
What you can do to share media and catalogs between two computers having the same Elements version is to store the media files and the catalog on an external drive you can plug to each computer when needed. Note that the drives should be recognized with the same drive letter.

    How can I get VoiceOver to read two languages correctly? in a dual-language book (English and Spanish)? I've used the <lang> tag, but VoiceOver doesn't switch from reading in English to Spanish. Both languages are selected in Settings. Does VoiceOver have this capability?

  • When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

    When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

    I ahve this problem too, my macbook is set up as an imap account for gmail, say I get an email and it shows as new in my gmail, iphone and macbook, and I then read it in my gmail, it is marked read on my iphone but stays as unread on my macbook.
    This is really annoying as if I read emails during the day on another computer I can come back to them all being new on the macbook.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • How do is get back to Read & Write permissions on HDs ?

    Hi gang,
    I was trying to set up one central folder for 4 iTune users (accounts) in our household.
    One of the blogs said put in "Shared" folder and set permissions to "Read & Write".  I tried but on "Everybody" is does not offer the "R&W" option, just "Read".  They also said to be sure you clicked "Apply to Enclosed Items" in the drop down.  Although I could not set "Everyone" to "R&W", I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" and the hard drives clicked for at least 15 minutes.
    Afterward I got a pop up that said...   System Extension "/System/Library/Extension/ACard6280ATA.kext" was installed improperly and can be used.  Try reinstalling.  and an OK button to click.  I clicked OK and at least 100 more popup appeared, one after the other as I clicked OK.   They all had the same basic message except the info after  /System/Library/Extension/, it kept changing slightly on each new popup.
    The big problem is I now have three of my four internal hard drives locked to my access and all they say custom on the permissions Privilege window.   Only my main HD is working, thank God.
    How do I get back to Read & Write on Privileges, and on all Hard Drives?
    Thanks for any help, I just made the move to MAC but have good background with windows operating system.

    Thanks for all the reply's, I really appreciate your time.  I have Apple Care so I worked with Apple tech last night and today, but they had to pass problem on to their engineers.  They did a great job trying to help and spent 2 hours helping me input in code through the Terminal screen.  It helped a little, but we still can access drive 2, 3 and 4 due to the global permissions that were changed.   All in all, it looks like we have to reinstall the OS on a washed HD.
    I found out that the Repair program (Disk Utilities) only repairs permissions that were created after the initial set up.  It won't correct original setting and that's what happened when I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" at the root level.  Likewise Time machine does not clone the main operating system so a restore would probably not get all the pieces back in their proper places.
    I was thinking of doing a reinstall of the whole Mac HD drive (boot drive) with an exact copy I made with Carbon Cloner a month back, but the techs seem to think they will have to work on of the 4 individual HD I have.
    Thanks again for the quick responses, I will let you know what happens in a few days.

  • I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files  from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

    my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW  files?

    iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

    Hopefully you have the library files on the drive too, or access to the original computer where the library still works. See Make a split library portable.

  • How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system?

    How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system? It works with firefox. It worked previously but I think the automatic upgrade to reader 9.4 messed it up - so how do I fix it?

    Hi,
    It looks like the default association of your PDFs was set to Adobe Acrobat, when you installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I would request you to either uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and install it again. This time around, you will receive a window asking you to chose between Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application, make sure you select Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and continue on. This will associate Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application and your internet explorer will be able to open PDFs without an issue.
    If an uninstall seems out of the question, you can change the following registries to point to the path of AcroRd32.exe (i.e. the path wherein you have installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. By default it would be something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe). The quotes mentioned below are intentional and must be included.
    i.   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    ii.  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Open\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
    iii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Read\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
    This should set the default application to view PDFs as Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and let you view PDFs in browser as well.
    Hope this works.

    This really needs to be posted in the Safari forum but I will answer it here.
    What do you mean by get out? You want to see the list? Clicking on the pair of glasses controls the display of the list. The glasses are in the gray bookmark bar. Click once to open and click again to close the reading list.

  • Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

    Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

    First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
    VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
    Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
    Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

  • How do I get iTunes to read and import track information?

    How do I get iTunes to read and import track information from compilation CDs? Typically, the compilations have been burned to disk using iTunes or Toast 8 Titanium. I have checked data boxes as available with both softwares. My REGA Planet CD player as well as my car CD player can read the track info but neither my nor my friends' iTunes can read the tracks for importing.

    I don't believe that iTunes can read CDText.
