Issues with NAS, iPhoto, RAW file format, AEBSn, Leopard

I think I've isolated it down to a networking stack issue with Leopard, but I was hoping I could get some more thoughts/advice. I don't want to downgrade to Tiger, but I may need to! Either that or host my iPhoto library locally.
Scenario:
My iPhoto library was messed up. Some albums were missing and it couldn't seem to find them. Rebuilding my library was giving me errors. So, I decided to start fresh. I created a new library and began importing files. I noticed that my RAW (.CR2) files were showing glitches in them! These were major glitches, like big squares of blue or yellow and distorted pictures. I checked the original pictures, those were fine. I checked the pictures in my new iPhoto library, those files are corrupted! Not the thumbnails, but the files themselves. I opened the file in Photoshop to verify. Yup, busted.
Attempted Solution:
I tried downgrading to iPhoto 7.0 from 7.1.1, thinking that that might be the problem. Still having issues with the RAW files. Do I need to downgrade to iPhoto 6? I can't believe that's the answer. Even in iPhoto 7.0, the problem persists.
Now here's the interesting thing: not all files are broken. Some files work, others don't. Some files are imported without glitches some of the time; reimporting them results in a glitch. That suggests to me that it's a networking problem.
I'm using 802.11n to an AEBSn2 (gigabit), which has a ReadyNAS NV connected to it by gigabit ethernet. I don't think it's a hardware network thing since everything seemed to work in Tiger.. I think it's a way that Leopard handles the networking stack. Didn't they revise the underlying network stuff for Leopard?
Help!

Are you able to switch to 11g? I heard that helps for some people. I haven't tried it yet. Right now, I have about 7500 photos, so I want to copy everything and back it up. Once I get it backed up, I'm going to try other solutions, but it may be a few days before I get anything tested.

  • ACR 4.1 Issue - Lightroom Issue with Nikon D40x Raw Files

    I am running Windows Vista and CS3 and am trying to process Nikon D40x raw files (NEFs) using ACR 4.1. The images come up properly in Bridge. However, when I try to add metadata using a metadata template, I get the error: "There was an error writing metadata to DSC_130.NEF." When I try to rotate an image in Bridge, I get the same error. If I try to do a Batch Rename, the name does not change. If I double-click on the image, it opens properly in ACR and the image can be rotated in ACR, and it then appears rotated in Bridge.
    I also tried importing the D40x images in Lightroom. The following error appeared: "Problem Importing Files. The following files were not imported. The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."

    Jeff,
    I installed camera raw.8bi (size is 10,187kb)in
    c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    I'm beginning to think this is a Windows Vista issue. I just installed ACR 4.1 on my XP laptop and it works fine. For both the Vista machine and the laptop, my raw files are on an external drive. If I move the raw files on the Vista machine from the external drive to the c: drive, there is no problem. I'm exploring whether there is some permissions issue in Vista that is not allowing me to write to the raw files if they are on an external drive. Ain't new operating systems just great fun!
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto compatibility with Nikon Compressed RAW files?

    Hi,
    Has anyone tried using iPhoto with the compressed RAW files generated by a Nikon D300s? Are they supported?
    The 300s can create types of RAW files: 12- vs 14-bit and uncompressed vs lossless compressed. Which of these 4 types is/are supported by iPhoto?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    I looked into it a bit further, and apparently Apple does not support ANY TYPE of RAW file from the D300s! This is the camera that Nikon (who is not exactly a minor player in the digital camera market) describes as their "flagship" DSLR!
    (Even more frustratingly, the D300s has the same sensor and image processor as the currently-supported D300, so the RAW file formats should be very similar and Apple shouldn't have to do too much work to add D300s support!)
    On the other hand, Photoshop already supports it:

    EDIT: yes I know I should "submit feedback"... already done...

    Hi Jim,
    yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
    I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • OS X 10.7 (Lion) iPhoto incompatible with Canon G16 RAW files

    Can anyone help me with this issue?  I recently decided to shoot RAW on my Canon cameras EOS 40D & Power Shot G16.  No issues in importing EOS 40D RAW files, but not the same with the G16 RAW files.  After the importing phase is finished I would receive an error message indicating that *.CR2 (G16 RAW) is not supported. I checked the support threads and it shows that G16 should be supported.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in Advance.

    The bad news is that the system requirements state Mountain lion or later is required.

  • Issue with Oracle LONG RAW data type

    Hi All,
    I am facing some issues with Oracle LONG RAW DATA Type.
    We are using Oracle 9IR2 Database.
    I got a table having LONG RAW column and I need to transfer the same into another table having LONG RAW column.
    When I tried using INSERT INTO SELECT * command (or) CREATE TABLE as select * , it is throwing ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype.
    I have gone through some docs and found we should not use LONG RAW using these operations.
    So I did some basic PLSQL block given below and I was able to insert most of the records. But records where the LONG RAW file is like 7O kb, the inserting is faliling.
    I tried to convert LONG RAW to BLOB and again for the record where the LONG RAW is big in size I am getting (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error) error.
    Appreciate if anyone can help me out here.

  • Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files?  With the original raw file or in a separate folder?

    Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files?  With the original raw file or in a separate folder?
    Relatively new user of Adobe LR5 and PS CC, about a year old. 
    If they should be stored somewhere beside the folder that contains the originals, where and how to change the settings?
    If I choose to write metadata to the original files, is that sidecar files or does the XMP file show separately?
    To be honest, I usually find a video and I cannot figure this out.  I have never received an answer on any of my questions by the way. 

    Hi there,
    You answered a prior question from me so I wanted to reach out to you about this.   I just need a step by step on how, if possible, to View LRCC on my MacBookPro when the main interface is on my iMac

  • Camera Raw 4.4.1 has bug with Canon 40D raw files

    I shoot with the Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, 1DMII, and the Rebel XTI. The Raw processor is showing an anomaly only with the 40D files. When I load raw images, and when the image is displayed, it is shown at one setting. Then in 3 seconds, its updated again at about 1/2 stop brighter. Each time I click on another image on the left column, same thing. The new image is displayed, then 3 seconds later, updated at about 1/2 stop brighter. THe histogram reflects the changes showing the data moving to the right. This only happens with the 40D raw files.
    Whats up?
    It happens regardless if "Auto" or "Default" is selected. I use "default" as a norm, never letting PS do an auto correction.
    How do I stop Camera Raw from doing the second update? This has to stop.

    I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Does CS6 or Elements 11 camera raw plug-in support the panasonic raw file format rw2

    Hi- I am thinking of upgrading to either one of these products as my current versions do not appear to support the panasonic raw file format rw2 but would like to know if the latest versions do support this format before I buy.

    Note that CP's correct answer implies the fact that each individual camera model must be supported by ACR.  You can't go just by the format alone.  "RW2" alone is meaningless.  Bear this in mind when you move to a newer camera.  Check the ACR compatibility list first:

  • ITunes Library on NAS - issue with saving the library file

    I recently moved my library file and all iTunes data to a NAS. Generally, this setup seems to work (although writing files and editing information is fairly slow). However, when iTunes is open for longer periods, I often get the error message "The iTunes library cannot be saved. The required disk cannot be found." The connection to my NAS drive seems ok, though. I would welcome any ideas or reports of any settings changes that may have fixed the same issue.

    It sounds to me like your NAS is going to sleep.
    From what I have read on this forum using iTunes with NAS has all kinds of issues.
