Importing metadata and changing locations

Hello!
I've encountered a problem regarding imported data. I was developing a datawarehouse on a temporary system with OWB installed. I created lots of mappings and tables etc. No we have set up a new database server and I've installed the new OWB repository to this new system. Everything seems to work fine otherwise, but I'm having trouble importing the old data.
I have exported the metadata in the old system and then imported it straight to the new system. The process itself goes smoothly, but I am unable to update the location information of the database modules. When I import for example a table module, everything seems to go alright, but the object does not appear in the control center at all. If I try to configure the table object, I see that the location field is empty and I can't set it to any value. The locations and users in the new system are different than in the old system due to bad naming conventions used in the old system.
Do I have to have exactly the same usernames, location names and module names in the new system as in the old system if I want to import metadata AND be able to deploy it as well?
I hope someone can understand what I mean here.
Regards,
Erik

Hello Oleg,
No. I did not install OWB software on Server2. It is an AIX server which is supposed to only host the full production database of our organization and no additional software components. I used the repository assistant to create a new repository owner on Server2. This process went smoothly.
Then I connected to the Server2 repository via the Design Center on my workstation. I then created a new user via the Global Explorer --> Security --> Users. The new user had the "used as a target schema" tagged. I proceeded then to create the database modules as usual.
The configuration for the whole system is illustrated here (Figure 2-5):
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/install.102/b28224/install_rep02.htm#BGBGEFJD
As for Server2 using the Server1 Control Center:
In the (Design Centers) Connection Explorer panel I added a new Control Center (SERVER1_CONTROL_CENTER) in the Control Center menu. I added the Server1 (repository owner) connection details to the prompts. Then I opened up the DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION from my selected project module and selected the new SERVER1_CONTROL_CENTER as the Control Center for the opened project. After this I could use the Control Center normally... except for the mapping deployment bug.
Thanks for taking a look at my issue.
Regards,
Erik

Problem Importing Sequence and Changing Speed

Got a good one. I imported 2 sequences into a new project, but when I try to change the speed to anything over 100%, the end of the clip is black. If I try cutting this part out, what happens is the black screen increases, chopping off more of the clip/sequence!!! I've tried everything, and I know it has to do with the sequence being imported, but is there a workaround for this?? I've even tried putting a title/image in another video track, and same thing happens - more black screen, that cuts off even more of the clip. Help please!!

4) clicking on "speed/duration", and changing the speed to, let's say "125%",
Ok, back to my question of post 1. Where exactly are you doing this? To the individual clips, or to the nested sequence?
I suspect the former, given the results. And this is perfectly normal. When you speed up the footage, it takes less time and creates a shorter sequence, but the nest doesn't automatically shrink to compensate, so the last bit of it will be black. It's no different than if you were to remove a couple of clips from the original sequence. All you need do is trim the nested sequence back to the last frame of footage.
Or you could make the speed changes first and then nest it afterwards. Then there would be no black. (And this is what you were seeing when you went back to the first project and changed it there. The end result was that the speed changed before you nested. The black only shows up when you shorten the original after nesting.)
So, bottom line, everything is working normally. You were just unaware of how it worked.

Import midi and change to software intrument

New to Mac and Logic Pro. Formerly PC and Cubase. New Macbook Pro, Logic Studio, MOTU Ultralite MK3 Hybrid and an M Audio Keystation Pro 88 controller. I am trying to work with purchased midi tracks (full songs including up to 16 tracks). Using parts of these midi projects as backing tracks to fill out a small band. So I'll take a 10 track midi project and drop the piano/keys, guitar and bass and use the drums and strings, etc. as backing tracks; eventually mixing down to an audio file.
Some of these projects I've opened or imported into Logic and I've been able to switch the GM Device instruments to Logic Instruments or even 3rd party virtual instruments like Ivory 2 and Omnisphere. However, I can't get any sound out of certain tracks when I play the midi file even after I've switched the designated GM Device to a software instrument.
Bottom line is that I am asking the best way to use the Notes only from a midi file for multiple tracks, (I delete the other stuff such as Program and Control commands and mix it my own way), get that into a Logic Project so I can assign the tracks to software instruments, and get it to work.

I just installed iTunes on my computer, where I already have all my music. I went to Edit Preferences Advanced, and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location to where I have all my music, in the "Local Disk." But iTunes wont import all my music. Help?

Have you looked in the Music App on your iPhone? On the iPhone music is played by the Music App not iTunes.

How to change location information under metadata tab?

When I use the search box under the Places icon to assign a location to a photo, sometimes Aperture places a pin near but not directly on the place I have identified and puts an incorrect location in the tag. If I zoom in, I can accurately place the pin, and the tag then changes to the correct location. The problem is that both correct and incorrect locations display in the location box in the metadata field. I've tried completely eliminating the incorrect location with Manage my Places. I've tried removing the location from the photo and starting again. In both cases, both original locations remain in the location box under the Metadata tab. This makes using the search function for places worthless since there are so many false hits.
Is there anyway to modify the location box under the metadata tab once in contains inaccurate information?

I tried inserting a screen shot here, but I got a message that said "The content type of this image is not allowed." Let me see if I can explain more clearly.
To assign places, I have begun by clicking on the Places icon on the upper right hand side of the screen where the choices are Browser, Split View, Viewer, Faces, Places, Loupe, Full Screen. When I click on Places, I get a search box where I put the place I want to assign to a photo. Sometimes, when I see the location I want in the search results and click on Assign, Aperture puts a pin close to the desired location (but not exactly on it) and gives it a random place name (not the one I chose). If I zoom in and put the pin exactly where I want it, the place name changes to the one that I searched for to begin with. So far so good.
On the left hand column of the screen, there are three tabs at the top of the column - Library, Metadata, and Adjustments. If I click on the Metadata Inspector and look at the Location box at the bottom of that screen for the photo I've just described above, I see two locations listed - the first incorrect place name as well as the correct location that I changed it to when I moved the pin.
I've tried three things unsuccessfully to get around this problem.
In the Metadata drop-down menu, I've used Manage Your Places to delete the wrong location altogether. It disappears from my list of locations there, but it remains in the Location box for the in individual picture in the Metadata Inspector. From the Action pop-up menu (the gear icon) for the individual photo in the Metadata Inspector, I've chosen Location Name and selected the single name that I want. Both names remain in the Location box. I've had a One-on-One session at the Apple Store. (I took my computer with me so that she would see exactly what I was talking about.) The woman there told me that she thinks that this is a bug, and she doesn't know how to get around it. It was she who recommended that I try the Apple Support Communities to see if anyone has solved this.

How does metadata get changed by both Lightroom and another application??

I am frequently getting the message "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" on images in my catalog. I use only Lightroom to organize, add keywords, do basic adjustments, etc. On the occasions I am taking an image into Photoshop to do further work, it's exported as a TIFF or PSD and the original stays in the LR catalog untouched by anything else I might do to the image.
I have two choices with this message: Use Lightroom's settings, OR overwrite them from disc. The first few times this scared me, as I had no idea where those changes were coming from and why the disc file had something different than the lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata saved in XMP files. But I took the chance and said overwrite LR settings, and saw nothing change on the sliders or image being displayed. I then tried a few saying 'keep LR settings', and again I saw no visible signs of changes. That leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but LR things they are somehow. But I don't like seeing it, I want it to go away unless there really are changes happening outside of LR (like if I went into Bridge or something...)
Any ideas why this message shows up? I just discovered about 100 images in a collection of images I sent to stock agency three years ago, and haven't done anything with them outside of LR since.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Users have complained for years about spurious metadata-has-changed notifications. If you're confident that you're not editing the file itself outside of LR, then choosing Overwrite Settings will rewrite the metadata in the file with the catalog metadata and (usually) make the spurious notification go away.
Unfortunately, LR doesn't tell you which metadata fields have changed, so users are left flying blind. I believe Rob Cole had a plugin that would tell you metadata differences between the catalog and the disk file, but his Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.
ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop is updating some EXIF data fields in the raw file, for example the "edited with software" field. Since Lightroom probably has already set that field, it gives you a warning that something changed.
Interesting hypothesis. I just tested that with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and couldn't reproduce the problem. I exported a TIFF from a cataloged raw file into the same folder as the raw, edited the TIFF and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved it. LR didn't report a metadata-has-changed notification.
In general, I'd be (only moderately) surprised that if you edited x.tif in PS, it would change any metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp.

Changing the language of imported metadata in Indesign

Hello,
I hope someone can help me with my issue...
I am running InDesign CS5 Middle Eastern edition on a Mac and would like to import metadata from bridge - the issue is: when I import the info, which includes numbers, it uses Arabic intead of English language. I have already trashed my Indesign preferences and recreated them all set to English. Is there a metadata setting somewhere where you can set the langauge?

I'm assuming that you're importing an image or a graphic with metadata.
You'd need to edit the metadata in Adobe Bridge. Select the graphic in InDesign. Control/right-click and choose Graphics > Reveal in Bridge. In Bridge, view the Metadata panel. Likely, the metadata is in the IPTC Core section so open that section. Editable fields are marked with a pencil icon.

HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.

I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

How do i force itunes to re-scan my library for changes i have made to metadata and artwork ?

I have a large music library and until 3 months a go I thought it would be too hard to organise it. Thankfully there are some good programs that help with this process and I have made many changes to my files/itunes library.
One program is supported by iTunes but it still leaves me with the old genre catagories in numbers which iTunes seems to deal with automatically ? Pity it didn't change them automatically ? Anyway I'm still not sure what to do with them as I might have a catch 22 situation ? Please read on !
This program also doesn't make cover art changes more specific......for example less than 250kb + <1000x1000 pixels for iphone and no option for embedding & folder.jpg for my Sonos system.
So I needed to use other programs.....Right so now I'm getting to the point!
Now all my changes have been made, it is not so clear what is actually changed ? Some of it might only changed the info associated with the files according to my iTunes Library Database or some of it might actually of modified the actual metadata of the files on my hard drive.
What I want is for the metadata to be correct at the source AND then of course I want iTunes to have the same information too.
I think that whatever way I have been doing it HAS actually modified the files at source but I can't be sure.
What I do know is that the changes I have been making for the last week are not shown in iTunes until I play the track/album.
I have tried suggestions from forums to force a re-scan and none have worked.
I have tried add to library an album already in the album which is supposed to not make duplicates and just update the changes, this didn't work.
I have tried get info on my entire collection and change nothing then clicking OK but that didn't work.
I have tried get info and entering a comment field on just an album to test and it didn't work!
I would really like to know if there is a way to update the library & I would love to know if and how to get all my info in iTunes to be permanently reflected at the source.
Thanks in advance and thanks for listening ;-)

I closed Itunes, went into the Itunes folder in Music and deleted the files ending in .itdb, .itl and .xml, then I re-opened Itunes and it had a button labeled 'scan for media'. I pressed it and Itunes rescanned everything, so my problem with music which I had deleted but Itunes still marked as 'not found' is gone. Maybe this will help you.
Btw, the thread is old, but it's the only one I found not archived and that refered to doing an Itunes library re-scan.

Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty. I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty. I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank. There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos". There are no video clips in the editing window. I have "Show: All Clips" selected. I've tried "group events by disk".
When I have a Project open, it plays just fine. There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing". Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window. So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible. This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library.
I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library. I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem. For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem. This didn't work for me.
I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician).
HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL: After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have. I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive. So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine. I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!! I can't believe this.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Have you ever heard of this happening? Could it have to do with the files I'm importing???
I apologize if my language is confusing. Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person! I hope I've provided all the information you need.
Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date. Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?

Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

OK. I think we're getting close to the answer.
The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata. I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson: Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way. Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC. When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

??? I just installed Lightroom 5 from Amazon for my Mac with 10.10.1 software. When I open it I get: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". It won't import photos and has no side panels under Library. What should I do?

I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

I recently changed my phone. Before I did the guy at the Verizon store said my photos were backed up in my photo stream. I have logged on and cannot locate them. Is their something I can do to recover them?

Photo Stream does not "backup" your photos, you have to do that yourself on iTunes, BUT if you have the iCloud app for your PC/Mac installed, your photos will be on there
