Images imported... some ruined with blank white and color banding

I'm using Lightroom 4... i've been importing my RAW images from my external harddrive. Some show up in the catalog as ruined with a blank white section and color bands.  I've checked the actual image on the external hard drive and it is fine. I've deleted the ruined files from the LR catalog, then re-imported those problem ones... still come in as white with banding.  I've even tried deleting them from the catalog, then from the harddrive... then back onto the HD from the camera, then back into lightroom. Some look ok until I look at then in loupe view... and the same problem happens.  Meanwhile the images on the HD and on the camera's CF card are fine.  Suggestions???

You have to troubleshoot and eliminate the bad hardware that is causing the corruption.
It could be anything from the camera writing bad image data, to the card not accepting the image data, to the card-reader or camera-cable corrupting data as it’s been transferred to the hard-disk failing or the computer memory failing.
Only you or someone at your computer can only determine which of these is the problem by changing one component at a time to see which one makes a difference.  The most common issue is the memory card, and the next common is the card read or cable, but it could be other things.
The first thing to try is copy the same images, again, and see if the corruption occurs exactly the same or not.  If so then the image data is likely bad on the card, so the card or camera is at fault.  If the corruption is different the second time the images are copies, then the corruption is likely happening in the transfer or on the computer, so that eliminates the camera (and maybe the card).

    I have been trying to watch tutorials on how layering works. All I want to do is this: I have one image of a radio with a white background. I need to have just the radio extracted, then on a new layer (white one/blank/plain) I need to copy and paste the image of the radio two times. How can I DO THIS!?!?!?! Thanks!

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the radio from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the radio B on a separate layer.

  • Can message filters cause messages with blank subject and 1969 dates

    I have done many things to try to trace why I get messages with blank subjects and 1969 dates.
    downloaded TB
    created all new folders
    moved only persdict and msfFilterRules to the new profile.
    At this try
    set the option NOT to download messages on startup
    went off line and compacted all folders.
    emptied the inbox and all subfolders.
    Exited TB.
    deleted all files under pop.verizon.net except msgFilters rules.
    Deleted all msf files for local folders in my profile.
    opened TB.
    a few times
    --With Firefox went to verizon webmail and moved a few messages to the Verizon inbox.
    --moved to TB window
    -- Clicked <get messages>
    -- still received blank messages with 1969 dates
    -- deleted those messages
    -- emptied trash
    went to the filter rules and unclicked all filters that send files to local folders
    left 2 rules in place
    (1) if a sender was in my address list send the message to inbox folder called "Known sender"
    (2) if the subject was NOT a weird string like "&*%$@!+=?><" send the message to inbox folder called "Suspicious" This filter is because there is not an ELSE function in TB it is extremely unlikely that a message would have such a subject.
    [These two filters should move all messages except junk to the two folders.]
    I then tried the above procedure of going to Verizon, moving messages to Verizon Inbox, etc. a few times.
    I did NOT get the messages with blank subject and 1969 date!!
    Questions:
    (1) Is this just a fluke?
    (2) From understanding the internals of TB is it reasonable that some now-unchecked message filter(s) had caused there to be the oddball messages?
    (3) if It is a filter rule, how can I find out which one it is?

    I looked though all the condition specification options I do not see how using header info in a condition specification would '''change '''the header info.
    I looked at the possible actions on filters.
    I only see "tag" and "Star" as ones that might change header info.
    However, I found out that when I unchecked the first 17 of 19 filters and just had the two I explained above I would sometimes get a message with the 1969 date.
    Since then I deleted those two rules and made new versions and moved them to the bottom where the earlier versions had been. I have not had the 1969 messages since!!
    I have put a new filter at the top of the list that checks whether the date is before 1/1/971. If teh date is before 1/1/1971 the filter tags the message as important and moves it into the inbox folder named "Suspicious".
    I have not seen any 1969 messages since then.
    Since the problem was intermittent and because I was not able to create conditions whereby The 1969 dates would or would not occur, the problem may not be 'fixed'. I'll watch it for a while
    Meanwhile, I'll continue to manually go though the webmail on Verizon and as a test only download mail that I do not want to save for the long term. Messages I want to keep I'll move messages I want to keep for the long term into foldrs on Verizon. '''If '''after a while, I do not get any more of the 1969 messages, I'll move messages I want to keep into the Verizon inbox and download them into TB

  • Create image server operating system with Hyper-V and virtual machines

    Friends,
    Need to replicate the environment they currently have, but wanted to optimize this operation by creating an image of windows server with Hyper-V and virtual servers already installed, what tool do I use? Can someone guide ???
    Dreyher

    I recommend you separate the task of protecting the host from the task of protecting the guest VMs. 
    By "replicate the environment", do you mean backup the VMs in a recoverable state? or do you intend on migrating the VMs to another environment like another physical location? How much down time can you tolerate if any?
    To backup the VMs use a VSS based backup solution. There's plenty out there, including Windows Server backup, Altaro, DPM, Veeam, and many more. This does not require installing agent on any of the VMs, and will not down the VMs during backup. Here's an
    example Powershell script to backup all VMs on the local host:
    Install-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Server-Backup
    $BackupTarget = "\\server\share"
    $WbTarget = New-WBBackupTarget -NetworkPath $BackupTarget
    $WBPolicy = New-WBPolicy
    Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $WBPolicy -Target $WbTarget
    Add-WBVirtualMachine -Policy $WBPolicy -VirtualMachine (Get-WBVirtualMachine) # Add all VMs on localhost
    Start-WBBackup -Policy $WBPolicy -Async
    If the intent is VM migration from one location to another, there are plenty of tools to do so with minimal or no down time. Just bing it..

  • My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

    my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them. 
    What's the answer?
    Thanks 

    Many thanks to  responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
    Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server.  Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
    One more question:  I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
    Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
    Thanks again for your help ...

  • Accidentally delete iPhoto and now left with blank photos and blank events

    Hi,
    I have accidentally deleted iPhoto app and now i am left with blank photos and blank events in my iphoto.
    I tried eveything. Ranging from removing the pplist, installing, Iphoto Library manager but it seems to get worse.
    i have the original package content
    and this is how my iphoto library icon looks like.
    And when i try to drop my original content package into the new iphoto, it will show an error message.
    Kindly tell me what else can i do?
    im using iphoto'09

    Outside chance: try recover the deleted files with an (expensive) app like File Salvage
    Other than that, no hope.

    I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged  my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

    Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout
