Keywords Metadata Missing from Copied JPEGs
Im new to metadata tagging with Adobe Bridge CS4 version 3.0.0.464 on Windows XP. I am able to add keywords to JPEG Images (taken with my Nikon D90), but I have noticed when I copy those images using Windows Explorer (or any MS Windows Copy Paste File Action), the copied image doesnt always retain all of its metadata. For example, if I have a folder with 8 jpeg images, all identical metadata, when I copy those images using explorer, only 3 of those copied images will have the metadata while 5 will show up with No Keywords at all (Using Adobe Bridge to see the results). When I copy the images inside of Adobe Bridge, the metadata is copied perfectly. What worries me is that I use a Microsoft utility called Robocopy to backup by files, and this tool seems to suffer from the same problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Are these .xmp files normally in the same directory as the images? I have Windows setup to show all files, even the hidden system files. I don't see any sidecar files. I played around with the the Preferences>Metadata>"Supports XMP" option and didn't see a difference.
I wrote some C# code to open up these JPEGs and found that some of the files that copied had the xmp xml embedded into the image while in others it is missing.

I've just been forced to change from iPhoto to the Photo app and can I say I'm less than impressed. It is so much more difficult to navigate to start with. Half my photos have come across without their metadata such as titles. I spent hours sorting my photo library and naming photos and now I have photos that are missing everything. Is there any way to get it back? Why did this happen to some and not all? Very disappointed that the transfer wasn't seamless. Now I suppose I'll be spending hours again trying to relabel everything. Any solutions?
You weren't forced. Just launch iPhoto and keep using it if you want to.

"Copy" label missing from copied layers
When I make a layer copy the new layer retains the name of the original. That is, it does not say "copy" anywhere! Very confusing! How can I fix this?
Look at the Layers Panel Options and verify you have Add "Copy" to Copied Layers and Groups checked.

Aperture 3 save PDF to folder as JPEG option missing from PDF services?
I have Aperture 3 downloaded from the App store in a MAC OSX 10.6.7 but the save PDF to folder as jPEG option is missing from the print menu? I do not have discs to re-install Aperture so can I add a workflow directly to the PDF services library and if so where can I get a copy of this workflow?
Hi frank, thanks for the advice, I am very new to Apple and Aperture. I think I am looking at the second print menu, I am basically trying to add text to a phot and have followed this online guide
http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/02/07/aperture-book-tool-screen-cast-take-two/
I can do everything except the last part which is save PDF to folder as JPEG. My version of aperture does not give me this option and I only have access to the following:
Open PDF in preview
Save as PDF
Save as Post Script
Mail PDF
Save as PDF-X
Save PDF to iPhoto
Save PDF to web receipts folder
Pictures
Edit Menu
There is no option to Save PDF to folder as JPEG and I cannot add this function from the Edit menu? Previous discussions suggest re-installing Aperture 3 but I downloaded this from the App store so do not have discs to reinstall?
Thanks

How to get Keyword metadata from PDF's ?
Hi,
First of all apologies for perhaps stupid questions that I'm asking as I'm a AppleScript novice
What I'm trying to do is to convert PDF documents to image files (.png or .jpeg), this I can easily accomplish using the Automators "Render PDF Pages as Images" action.
The difficulty comes from that I also want to rename the generated image files (or PDF's before converting them to images) using part of the data that is contained in each PDF's Keywords metadata and for this I think I need to do some AppleScript coding (need to get and parse the Keyword metadata string for each PDF and then use the parsed data to rename files). Any ideas, hints or tips how this should be done using AppleScript ? (any websites / blogs where this kind of processing has been done ?)
Appreciate a lot if you can help in this,
AlanHi Alan,
Typing the following two lines in the Script Editor should list the metadata attributes for the choosen file:
set F to choose file with prompt "Choose a PDF file:" of type "PDF "
do shell script "mdls" & space & quoted form of POSIX path of F
For more information on "mdls", open the Terminal window and just type “man mdls” (and return).
Maybe you might also use the following AppleScript statement in case there were some keywords in the Spotlight comments field of the file:
tell application "Finder" to return comment of F

I just copied a folder from my desktop to my pen drive. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. On doing so it said it had not been ejected properly!!!!! The folder is now missing from my computer and the pen drive. Pulling my hair out please help!
When youi say Eject, the RAM copy of the Directory is written back to the drive. On a pen drive, this can take several seconds.
If you get too excited and don't wait those few seconds, the directory write will be incomplete, and the drive will lose its integrity or lose files or both. -
Time machine only copies User Info and Users (Applications, Library, and System are missing) from my quad core Mac Pro. 45 Gb of 162 Gb are missing. Any one having success with time machine copying all folders using Mavericks?
What do I need to do differently?The late, great Pondini was investigating that issue before he passed away.
See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5125969
I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over. -
"copy to folder" for emails missing from latest Ns...
As already mentioned elsewhere, there are a lot of user complaints about this basic feature missing from many Nseries phones (N95, N78, etc). Is Nokia listening and/or planning a firmware upgrade for symbian S60v3 phones?

To archive email to another folder, the only "workaround" seems to be to copy & paste the email text into an Active note. Active notes so that you can organize them in subfolders, but then you suffer from the slowness of the ActiveNotes app and not being able to search. Is there a way to add the Active notes folder to the standard search locations?
Anyone else out there having found a better workaround? I can't believe that Nokia messed this one up. It was standard on my E50, and apparently in some older Nseries phones too.

HOW do I copy jpeg files from my Windows PC to my iPad2?
How do I copy jpeg files from my Windows PC, to my iPad2?
If you are on iTunes 11 on your PC then you may want to enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (or control-S), which might make it easier to navigate.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad's Photos app. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync. -
Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events, an Album I created, and a slideshow using the photos. This "appears" to have happened when upgrading to Yosemite. When I use iPhoto Library Manager, I see two entries for the Event Information for the date in question, same name, same number of photos, but different sizes. The smaller has the image number but no photo for the given date; the larger has the photos.
Image path for the version with all photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24/IMG_0697.jpg
Image path for the version with missing photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24_2/IMG_0697.jpg (NOTE the _2 added to the image number.)
I assume that I have to get the missing pictures back in Events so I can reload back into the Album. Hopefully, the slideshow will magically be better.
Help!That's an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master file has been broken. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database. -
Error: The following required field is missing from the launch file: jnlp
PLEASE help me.
I was at Starbuck's today trying to install new software for my new wireless internet card and when I finished I could no longer access any of my applications that require java... I have a macbook pro dual platform computer. When I try to access www.bayphoto.com to download my application it says: (see below) (which I think is strange because it's all about Starbuck's and it should be my java code- I think...). Like I said - I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this. Please help me or at least tell me whom to call- I feel so stupid- I just need help- ATT? Starbuck's? Sun?

first codebase is not legal URL, File.separator (backslash on windows) needs to be converted to forward slash in URL's.
second, the href is not to the jnlp file, it is to the jar !

When i try to upgrade to LR5 I see the keywords are missing. Eevn when I import them again, no keywords...
With about 275.000 images keyworded in LR3-4...
MartinIf the sidecar file has the keywords (and it will not have keywords by default, you must tell LR to put the keywords there), then you can force Lightroom to read them via Metadata->Read Metadata from Files. But if the keywords aren't in there, then re-importing the photos into LR5 and reading the sidecar files doesn't get you where you want to go.
It would still be easier (and more data will transfer, data that is never written to sidecar files) to upgrade the catalog as I said. -
"show in itunes store" command missing from video library
updated to itunes 11.1, and ios7.
This isn't a pro or con diatribe, just a list of the minorish bugs that i have noticed:
First (probable?) bug:
With the latest update, the (control click) "show in itunes store" command is missing from all video layouts (unwatched, shows, genres) except "list".
I assume this is just a temporary bug, as it limits easy access to purchasable store content.
This is especially important since "check for available downloads", while still around, has been, as far as i can tell, completely nonfunctional for months.
I now have all my email notifications for passes turned on, and just manually click on the emails to download new content.
However, especially for shows with extra content, sometimes the email doesn't download the actual show, just the extra content.
for this reason, and for non pass shows, and just for general shopping and impulse buys, I liked to use the "show in itunes store" to easily check shows that i am currently interested in.
except that now it is gone.
Another (probable) bug:
I have a lot of purchased content, so i have the cloud turned off to control the flow of menu information. i don't need to see everything i have purchased all the time, only the newest shows that i actually have loaded onto the ipad. I still just load in the shows i want to watch from my main computer after i have downloaded them from apple to the hard drive, which i guess is now a bit old fashioned. ios7 doesn't seem to like this very much, as it initially displays the cloud content when opening the "video" app, before blanking and replacing it with the edited down version. But the real bug is this:
Now when i delete a video on the ipad, it crashes the "video" app.
And, instead of recognizing the delete when i sync to the computer, it ignores it and reloads the video onto the ipad.
......And finally:
There is still a tendency for the ipad and itunes to throw up the "sign in" pop up, often multiple times in a row, anywhere and for no reason, even when i am already signed in. Sometimes i can just hit "cancel" and it disappears, other times it forces me to retype my password. It's gotten a lot better and less frequent than when it first started earlier this year, but it's still around.
Having said this, I'm still, of course, a huge fan of the change earlier this year that keeps track of purchases and allows me redownload, instead of the old "lose it and its gone, tough luck" policy.Ha. Maybe it's just me then. When i control click on a show, i'm getting:
In Library/TV Shows: Unwatched, Shows, and Genres:
play "[show]"
mark as watched
mark as unwatched
[depending on blue dot]
get info
rating
show description
show in finder
reset plays
show in playlist
copy
as opposed to, in List (and everywhere else):
play "[show]"
mark as watched
mark as unwatched
[depending on blue dot]
get info
rating
show description
show in finder
show in itunes store
get album artwork
reset plays
consolidate files
new playlist from selection
add to playlist
show in playlist
copy
delete
uncheck selection
apply sort field
I have my sidebar turned on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is showing or not.
I looked around in settings, view, and window for a way to modify the control click menu, but couldn't find anything.
It's a very minor issue.
If your menu is working, maybe I just need to delete my copy of itunes and reinstall. Or change a setting somewhere. -
My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date
Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M. -
How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?
How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?
You know, in the one screen capture, from the old computer, we can see that the photo has the keyword "bees"
In the other screen capture, from the new computer, we cannot see the keyword "bees"
And better yet, show us the Keywording Panel instead of the Keyword List Panel
I am also concerned that you are showing us the original catalog on the new computer that you created via importing the photos. That's not what we want to see.
So please confirm that you are using the catalog file that was copied from the old computer, and when placed on the new computer, you double-clicked on that exact catalog file, and then created the screen capture. Please confirm that you are NOT looking at the catalog you created by importing the photos.
Maybe you are looking for
