Imported DNGs generated in ACR for Windows only show thumbnails

Hi,
Today I imported DNGs from pictures I've created with my 350D through the last year or so. Some of these work completely fine, but others won't show the full-resolution image; they only show a small 256 x 171 thumbnail version.
There is a pattern to whether it's working correctly or not: the DNGs that display correctly were converted on my old iBook - in other words using Adobe Camera Raw for Mac - and the ones that don't work were the pictures I processed on my Windows PC, thus using the Windows version of ACR.
Another thing I've noticed is that apparently the changes made to the pictures in ACR are not recognized by Aperture - is this to be expected?
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to make my pictures work as they should? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE
My solution works but I would suggest a few things to avoid a problem I encountered (see THE PROBLEM below):
- Copy your Aperture Library File to the desktop (after backing it up to your vault), then reload Aperture. Your Library should now be empty.
- Then import your DNGs in batches to this new library
- As each import batch is successful, export the project to a file on the Desktop.
- When they have all been successful, copy your original Aperture Library file back to its original location (after deleting the new one you created)
- Then import the projects you saved to the Desktop one by one
The above steps mean that you don't have to go through the process of restoring your library (and all the thumbnails) should Aperture spit the dummy and crash during a DNG import. If it does, you won't be able to fix it without restoring the library... A pain in the A
THE PROBLEM
I was having a problem with a handful of DNGs which seemed to cause Aperture to crash and exit. I couldn't work out what was going on but now I think I have an answer.
The problem seemed to be with DNGs created with the newer versions of the Windows DNG Converter. Converting them with the latest Mac DNG Converter (v3.4) did not resolve the issue.
So, I downloaded the Mac DNG converter v3.1 and converted the existing troublesome DNGs v3.1.... and it works. I can now import even the troublesome DNGs into Aperture now without a hitch.
There seems to be no way of telling which DNG converter version was used to create an individual DNG although I found that it was related to all DNGs after a certain date (ie. the date I started using the newer DNG converter!)
I hope this of help to everyone and that it has answered the question.
Cheers,
Paul Martin

    I am not certain, but I believe there is a version of Dazzle for the Mac. However, it is not the route I would chose.
    You really need a proper analogue to digital converter, like the ADVC110, to connect to your camera via the usual RCA cables, and to your Mac via firewire.

  • SAPScript:  why the window only show the LAST line

    Dears,
    In my form, one of the window only show the LAST line of the it.
    I have set the window enough space,  also when  debuging the program , open_form, write_form,
    all of those sy-subrc = 0.
    both static texts and dynamic texts are set  in the window,   but only the last line shown.
    Anyone could help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    There are several possibilities to resolve your problem.
    You can work with 2 main windows on in1 page.
    With NEW-WINDOW you switch to the next main-window
    How to use it.
    make an item in main window with that /: NEW-WINDOW command
    if you are ready with first loop call a WRITE_FORM with that NEW-WINDOW statement.
    to cojntinue in the other main.
    Other possibility is. (in case there are not ot many lines)
    Use for every line other variable names.
    Fill these in the loop. And after loop WRITE FORM
    eg. (if maximum is 3 lines)
    &VAR1_1& &VAR1_2& &VAR1_3& &VAR1_4&
    &VAR2_1& &VAR2_2& &VAR2_3& &VAR2_4&
    &VAR3_1& &VAR3_2& &VAR3_3& &VAR3_4&
    Hope this helps.
    Gr., Frank

  • "Use cellular data for" is only showing a few apps

    Hello,
    I just got a new 5S.  I have installed and used maybe 15 or so apps, but when I go to
    Settings -> Cellular -> "Use cellular data for"
    it only shows 5 apps: Calendar, FaceTime, Find iPhone, Passbook, & Skype.
    I would like to see all the apps so that I can control what is using cellular data.  When I read other posts online, it seems like this should show all apps.  Does anybody have any idea why I only see a few apps here or what I can do to display all apps?
    Thanks for any help!

    It is probably one of them that is causing that problem.

  • DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

    Hi, 
    When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer.  I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown.   It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
    To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC.  Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
    I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem.  I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem.  I tried this and indeed it did fix it.  The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)".   This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be.  Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
    My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
    And, my thrid question is this.  If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
    Thanks -- Dan

    Hi David,
    You testing does not coincide with mine.  I have consistently kept "Use
    lossy compression" turned off.  With lossy turned off, it seems that using
    Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
    "Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
    Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
    spec containing "Fast Data Load".

  • Jabber for windows only allows the logged-in AD user to log into his jabber account only

    Hello gang,  
    I have this strange issue with jabber for windows 10.5.  So if you log into a pc with your microsoft active directory domain account and try to log into jabber with the same user credentials, you can log-in fine. However, if you try to log into another jabber account that is different from the AD account that you are logged into the pc with, you will not be able to log into jabber.  You will just get an error from jabber that says that your credentials are incorrect. I actually deleted the jabber folders in the  local and roming data folders, thinking that maybe it was caching the password but even that did not help.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?

    I've also experienced this.  If you are logged in as a local user on the computer you can switch to any other Jabber user, but if you are logged into your computer with a domain/AD account you cannot login as a different user, only the domain user that is signed into the computer can login to Jabber.  Does anybody know of a workaround or fix?  Is this a setting that can be changed?  

  • Activating Family Share for Windows only iTunes Users

    Dear community fellows,
    a search for "family share windows" shows, that the topic was yet discussed in the 4th quarter of 2014 but not yet solved at all, therefore I would like to start and reactivate it again:
    How can I, a Windows only customer and user of the iTunes Store, share my huge collections of bought songs with my family? All ways described in the documenation, especially the one that creates the impression that can be done via iCloud for Windows fail.
    My wife uses an iPad Air, my children use iPhones. When my wife invites me to join the family, I receive an invitation email containing a link to view the invitation, but that link does not work and clicking it always results in a message that this link cannot be opend in the browser (tried via Outlook 2013, Firefox, Chorme, Internet Explorer on a laptop using Win 7 32bit and via Firefox and Chrome and Mail on an Android smartphone).
    When I try to read this mail via the web interface of my mail provider using Safari on my wife's iPad, I am informed after clicking the invitation link, that I am already a member of the family (which is not the case, the status in iCloud as displayed on the iPad for me is already "Invitation was sent" (I use the German interface, so the original message on an English one might be different from my translation).
    So: How can I accept the invitation to join my own family and grant the other members access to my iTunes purchases?
    Kind Regards,
    Franz

    You may move your audio tracks to a public folder on your network and point each iTunes music folder to it.
    It would be very similar to this description: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • Importing Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen

    Why is it Importing WMV Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen.
    Thank You In Advance

    mrtomr4455
    Forget about all the rest until you check out the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the current 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb file. I missed the wmv part of your initial question by focusing too much on the thread title.
    Here is a copy for your convenience
    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.

  • Login window only shows one user account

    Hi,
    Anyone has an idea what's happening?
    I'm running Yosemite on MBPr 15" Mid-2012
    When I power on or reboot the laptop, on the login window it only shows one user account, my account which is the Admin account.  It doesn't show the secondary normal user account I created for my wife.  However once I'm logged in and I hit log-off, then it shows the 2 user accounts available for login.
    Thanks in advance!

    The lock is on the bottom left not bottom right. Sorry mixed that up.
    Letting other users unlock the drive
    If you want to make the Mac available to a user that doesn't currently have unlock capabilities, log in as a user that can unlock the disk. When you see your own desktop, choose "Log Out (user name)" from the Apple () menu. Also, you can unlock the disk, then switch to another user from Fast User Switch menu in the menu bar.
    If you want to grant existing users the ability to unlock the drive on their own, open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences. Select the FileVault tab and click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Enter your admin privileges when prompted. Click the "Enable Users..." button to add existing users to the list of accounts that can unlock the disk.
    Hope that helps,
