Images missing or off-line

when i want to go to edit in cs3 or to develop module, i get the error message that images are missing or off-line, despite the fact that the images are still on my desktop as well as backed up on the external hard drive(which is turned on). help. also, is there any way to reconvert dng images back to raw or tiffs?

If the image in grid view has a ? icon in the upper right then LR does not know where the source file is. Click on that icon and tell it where to fine the file. If all your images where moved outside LR then LR would lose track. You could also try to synchronize the folder if they are all in the same relative structure.
Unless you stored the original RAW file in the DNG there is no way to get back to the original RAW. However, with very few exceptions all of the original RAW information is in the DNG file so there's no need to convert back.

Files missing or off line

I reciently downloaded dng files to a removable harddrive.
I can see them in Lightroom (library)but get a message that they are off line or missing when I open the develope module.
I can see them on the hard drive and when I attempt to import them LR says they are already there? I also noticed that about 300 of the dng files went to the harddrive without the jpg thumbnail.

The photos have either been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom. If they have been moved outside of Lightroom (or if the drive letter has changed, which can happen on Windows computers), then you reconnect them via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
By the way, re-importing photos is almost never a good thing to do. It is almost always a bad thing to do. I would advise you to get this idea out of your mind.

Missing or Off Line photos - user problem

Help!! I'm fairly new with lightroom 3 maybe had it for a year and just up graded to lightroom 4 because I got a new camera and I continue having some of my photos missing or offline. I did call the support line with abobe and they did find most of them. Some how I had move them without realizing
what I did. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong when downloading my pictures from my camera card to lightroom? Any websites that I can go to for help on this and for help locating them on my computer? Thanks

The reason photos show up as missing in LR is that you move or rename or delete photos (or the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom. Another reason that photos can become missing (in Windows) is that the letter of the external drive changes, something Windows will do sometimes.
One thought about finding these photos is to look up the name of the photo in LR (for example, DSC_0783.nef), then have your operating system search all hard drives for this photo.

Printing or Editing Off-Line Images

Hi,
I am looking for the best way for editing or printing images that have been previously moved/archived to CDs/DVDs when using PSE 3/4 Organizer. As I understand it once you bring back an image to edit it, the archived version is brought back online., and the one on the CD is basically removed from the catalog. Is this correct?
How does all this work if you are dealing with Version Sets, all of which have been previously archived to CDs?
What if you only want to bring an archived image to print it? In this case, is the high resolution image just temporarily loaded to make the print? I vaguely remember that the answer to this is yes, but I am not positive.
And what if you wanted to make a slide show but did not want to start with the resolution of your proxies?
I do know that I can go and find the answers to each one of these questions myself, but I am hoping to save a little time and possibly screwing up somewhere by asking the question before trying things out. I am also interested on how others are doing the above.
TIA
Don S.

Barb,
Thanks so much for the simple solution. I have tried it and it seems to do just what I want. Let me list the steps to make sure I did what you said.
1. From the Organize mode, I select the off-line photo
2. Click on Go to Standard Edit. I get the message re. picture is no considered on-line.
3. After the image is oopened in the Editor, I go back to the Organizer, click on the Undo arrow. The gold CD icon on the picture, which was not there now comes back, but the red strip with the lock is still over the photo.
4. I go back to the Editer, make my changes and then use Save As with a new name.
5. I close the photo in the Editor, and automatically am taken back to the Organizer, where there is no red stripe, but now two photos in the Photo Bin, the one off-line with the CD icon in the top left corner, and the edited version right next to it that is on-line.
To be honest, I only did Steps 1-3. I am presuming that Steps 4-5 would be as stated. Is this how the whole process works?
PS I did confirm that when you bring an off-line image back in to print it, it is only brought back temporarily and is still considered an off-line image after being printed.
Again, thanks for your initial answer Barb. I now need to see how Version Sets affect the above, if at all.
Don S.

Images are off line

Images are off line. There is a symbol at the bottom right of some images that has an arrow and a red line. The error is. The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again. All I did was copy the aperture library to an external hard drive and copy it back to a newer mac book pro. I am trying to work with the image in my new computer.

Are you running a referenced or managed library? Try double clicking on the library to launch Aperture if it's managed. Try File>Locate Referenced Files... if it's a referenced library.

Icon for on-line/off-line is missing

T-Bird sometimes falls to off-line mode and I never know it until I try to send a message, tells me I'm in off-line mode and would I like to go back online. When this happen THE ICON SHOWING ITS OFF-LINE IS MISSING. At one time it was in the L/R corner. How do I get it back?

From the menu bar select View-Toolbars and make sure the Status Bar is turned on.
No menu bar? Press the alt key.

Reconnect with changed off-line media path

Hi. I've had my catalogued images on a network drive for several years. Recently had a major failure and re-built the drive, re-loaded from backup etc.
Unfortunately, since the overall requirements for the drive had changed over the years, when re-building I didn't re-create exactly the same folder tree as before. While all my images are there (30,000+) and in the same relative tree as when they were catalogued, they are one level higher in the overall tree. As a result, the catalog (PSE7) doesn't marry up with the path to the folders and Organizer displays a red 'off-line' media icon for every single image. (None of the images is marked as needing to be re-connected since Organizer thinks the problem is the media being off-line rather than it being on-line but with a different path.)
With this many images, re-cataloguing the images isn't a realistic option. What can I do to get Organizer to recognise the drive is not off-line media and that the images are all there but on a different path ?
Thanks for any help.

To cut a long story short ... the original network drive was a Maxtor in RAID1. When one of its HDD died, it instantly became unbootable. Support told me there were no user replaceable drives inside and that as it was out of warranty to throw it away ! What's the point of RAID1 if you have to do that ?
Instead I downloaded hacked firmware and rebuilt with two new HDDs, then re-loaded from a USB back-up drive. Had been running fine again since. But its NAS functionality is limited compared to modern devices and I wasn't prepared to repeat the exercise when a HDD died again. So I bought a new NAS, moved the HDDs into it, re-formatted, and re-loaded my Catalog from the USB drive again (ie. not from the re-built drive but from a backup taken before it failed). Downtime for the whole thing was about a fortnight which I could cope with. But the new NAS has different reserved share-names (as well as a different volume #) so I couldn't use the original names that are in the Catalog and anyway I wanted to split the data between more than one share to exploit the additional functionality. So when re-loading I put the images into a folder tree starting at the share-name root rather than one level lower. I expected to have to do a lot of "re-connect missing file" operations.
Instead I found that Organizer doesn't think they are disconnected, but off-line, so doesn't allow you to try re-connecting them. Starting over with the missing tree level re-inserted isn't an option because I can't create the same root share-names on the new NAS anyway, and its volume # will still be different. What looks to be needed is a way to get Organizer to accept the folders are online and allow me to re-connect the images, as if everything had happened on a local drive, not a network drive.
Any ideas gratefully received.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

LR Off-line DVD Storage - Any Thoughts on How to do

After time passes, I like to move raw files from my hard drive to a DVD. I want to continue to keep these raw files that have been moved to the DVD as part of my LR catalog, including their thumbnail image. This way I can easily locate raw files stored off-line on a DVD. So far my solution is to take all of the files that I will be moving to a DVD, add them to a child-collection called for example DVD-32 (parent collection is called DVDs-RAW Files). I also, select all of the files and add the keyword, in this example 32. Then I copy these files to the DVD-32, delete them from the hard drive. The folder(s) shows as red in the LR library folders. Each files thumbnail is still retained. When I select a file, I know what DVD it is stored on by looking at the keyword. The reason I created the collection of files on a DVD is to provide an easy way to know what files are on a particular DVD. This is a more cumbersome process than what I did using IMatch, which was designed to catalog off-line files. I wonder if there is a simpler way to do this in LR.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Also there are some pretty worrying reports about DVD and CD reliability unless you use the Gold Archive disks [that I use, but I no longer archive to DVD or CD].
I now use a grandfather, father, son backup/archive method with grandfather,father in my safe deposit box. When I feel enough changes have been made, I put son in SD box and bring out GF, reformat, check for errors, and do a backup to set the new baseline.
I check my HDs for errors frequently.
I only lost data once, that was when I was replicating deletes and my main HD got corrupted and I transferred those deletes to my backup. I like being able to "look" at my backup/archive files.
People may say that I should still archive to optical media, but to me it is no more safe than my method. I would have to constantly re-read my optical disks to make sure they were not failing.
Also, I expect to pass the 20,000 file mark this year and that is about 25 DVDs [expect 95 GB or so] and making sure they are good looks daunting. Maybe when/if the blue ray technology arrives with appropriate archive/validation s/w I will change my mind.
Meanwhile, I am looking at ads for 500 GB HDs :-)

How to view browser history off-line, full size

hello - i am able to search for and locate web pages i visited many months ago - however i don't know how to view them as they were then. for instance, one was a blog with links i tried to revisit, so i found it, but the blog no longer exists. i figure that since the text and image were saved (obviously i was able to search for the text and view a thumbnail) they are probably available somehow "offline" - how can i view pages visted off-line rather than revisiting them? thanks!

Assuming you are using Safari as your browser, in it's general preferences, there's a "Remove history items" menu popup which gives you choices of when to delete history. Included in that list is "manually" if you so choose. Other browsers have similar options (e.g., firefox).
As for what's kept, it's url's, not whole web pages. So if a url is old enough there is a probability that the page it is pointing to changed or no longer exists.

Framemaker to .pdf part of image missing

Hello
I am using FM 10, Windows XP, Acrobat Pro X
I have converted a book and two images (from about 100) have the bottom 1/8th cut off.
The following may or may not be useful information:
The image is a .png.
The image has callouts drawn in in Framemaker which print fine.
I have replaced the drawing.
The drawing has been rotated 90 degrees.
The same problem occurs using FoxIt.
The same portion of the image is cut off if I move the image around.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I've reimported the image and pdf'd it again and it prints fine. The problem occurs when I rotate the image 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Hmm
MORE EDIT: If I use the 'Rotate Counterclockwise' button, it crops a little bit each time it rotates.
Hmm.

You put a lot of time in to this place, mate, Adobe should be paying you.
I'm just returning the favor. I've picked up several crucial tips here this year. Plus, you really discover if you know something when you try to teach it.
Our company designs lifting tools. The design boys create them and I make a operation/test/assembly manual for them.
So are you working with wireframe hidden lines removed, or 3D solid renderings?
If wireframe, you would ideally want the image to remain vector all the way into the PDF, if the vector count is reasonable.
... png, jpeg, gif, bmp, tiff, emf, exif and wmf.
I don't know EXIF (except as a metadata format). Of the remainder, only WMF has a prayer of delivering vector, and I'm not sure how well Frame supports that mode.
No eps unfortunately. Would you recommend using another format?
Autodesk can surely export DWG or DXF, but they are hazardous to your color catalog. Can Autodesk export vector PDF?
You will need to experiment with stroke weights, depending on your print path and any expected PDF viewing size. I'd suggest starting with 0.2 points (as delivered in the final PDF).
I find Illustrator really useful here. It can open DWGs, DXFs, and the EPSIs our older CAD software emits, and easily set stroke weights for final scale. It can also "simplify" complex drawings to some extent. When the PDF of a vector image gets over 250KB, we take steps (usually flattening it to 600 dpi raster). But we like to publish vector when we can.

Off-line logo

The project has been working fine, but for some reason we've reconnected all the media. It's all there, and plays fine, but some clips are still showing the off-line logo on the time line or in the bins. If I click on one of them in the bins, it seems to change the images around as to which have the off-line logos.
As I said, all our media is there, but it's just a bit frustrating not being able to see the proper clip graphic.
Any thoughts?

Let's see if I get this straight. You have more than one version of this logo? and it's reconnecting to the wrong one? If so you cannot reconnect it to the right one? You can reconnect clips directly from the timeline window, just select the clips and reconnect them en masse to the right version of the logo.

How to put Azure blob Storage service off-line

I am doing a migration and like to make sure Azure Storage service is off-line to make sure no content is pointing to this account before deleting exiting Storage account.
Please help.

Hi,
As far as I know, this is not support now.
If you met the issue such as "Storage account **************** has 1 container(s) which have an active image and/or disk artifacts." when delete azure storage, please go to Virtual Machines -> “Disks” or “Images” tab -> select the images/disks
that you have located in the Storage Account you want to delete -> then hit the “Delete disk” or “delete image” command. Back these up if you need before hitting the delete.
Best Regards,
