Keywords not appearing in Windows

A quick google search has revealed that this is a pretty common problem - Keywords created in Aperture don't show up in Windows programs. But the why of it is a little difficult to wrap my brain around.
Here's the workflow: I'm scanning a bunch of images into jpg format, correcting and tagging them in Aperture, then exporting back to jpg format.
From what I understand (please check me on this), Aperture stores keywords in IPTC format, which is baked into the jpg when the versions are exported. Since this is a newer format (?) and Microsoft doesn't follow anyone's standards but their own, the IPTC metadata is not visible in Windows Explorer or in Windows-based software. Am I right so far?
When I do this same workflow in Lightroom, the metadata shows up fine. As I understand it, that's because Lightroom saves the metadata in XMP format, which is visible in Windows? Or is it saving to EXIF format? I read somewhere that XMP metadata can only be saved as a separate file (a sidecar). Is that true or is it also baked into the jpg?
Here's the bottom line: Aperture has facial recognition, Lightroom does not. So I would like to use Aperture and have my keywords recognized anywhere by anything. What is the solution? Has anyone developed some metadata cross-stamping software that works? (I tried downloading one made for Windows but it didn't work on Windows 7.) Or is there a plug-in I can use with Aperture to solve the problem?
And this may not be a question that can be answered in this forum, but when I add a keyword in Lightroom, how is it being saved that allows me to see it in Windows? Is that XMP or EXIF?
I've been researching this for two days and have learned just enough to leave me utterly baffled. I appreciate any help y'all can offer.

UPDATE
I ran some additional tests on Windows 7 and it appears that Aperture keywords don't show up in ANY of the following:
- Windows Explorer
- Microsoft Office Picture Manager
- Windows Live Photo Gallery
Notice a common denominator? All Microsoft software.
Picasa for Windows DOES, however, see the keywords (though it has many other problems).
Meanwhile, Lightroom keywords are recognized universally.
I looked at the metadata using ExifTool (what a handy app) and it appears that both Lightroom and Aperture are writing to IPTC, but neither is writing to XMP. That's not what I expected at all. So perhaps they're writing to different versions of IPTC? I can't tell what they're writing to - does Aperture write to IPTC-Core or IPTC-IIM? Whatever it is, Windows does not read it.
Anyone have any more info on how all this works?

Ipod mini does not appear in windows explorer or I tunes

Two days ago, I purchased an IPod mini for my daughter to take to college. Directions seemed certainly clear enough to connect.
Unfortunately, I have spent two days trying to transfer music from itunes, on three different computers (two of of which are about a year old) utilizing at various times all of the USB ports available for use between the three computers.
I have updated windows and the Itunes and Ipod updater software for all of the computers.
I have reset and restored the Ipod numerous times.
On my laptop, the Ipod appears in Windows explorer but not under "Source" in Itunes. On another computer (a 3 year old Dell) it neither appears in Itunes or Windows explorer.
AT no time, does ITUNES automatically start when it is connected through a USB port.
Needless to say, I am frustrated and sorely disappointed that connecting this has become so difficult.
Before returning and giving up on the Apple, I thought I would try this discussion forum to see if anyone had any additional ideas.
Thanks!

Thanks for your recommendation! I did, at one point, try to get the apple logo to appear but it never did and I'm not sure why.
Meanwhile, we exchanged it for a different one.
This time it worked but only after the shop I bought it from updated the software for us.
The ipod, however, still doesn't automatically start itunes when it is connected; for some reason. Itunes has to be started, and the the Ipod needs to be connected. After a short while, it then appears under source and songs can be downloaded.
But, after all that, it now works!!!!!

CD/DVD drive does not appear in Windows 8

My CD/DVD drive no longer appears in Windows Explorer in Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavillion Slimline 400-034 Desktop PC. The drive spins upon boot. I've tried the Microsoft Window 8 troubleshooting with no luck. I'd like to try the HP troubleshooting which requires BIOS access upon boot, but pressing F10 during boot does not get me to the BIOS but instead loads Windows normally. Any suggestions to at least help me get to the BIOS?
This question was solved.

Hello @weatherdoc,
I understand that your HP Pavillion Slimline 400-034 Desktop PC does not detect your Optical Drive and when you tried the HP Support document: CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8) and when you get to the step that requires you to enter the BIO tapping F10 when the computer first begins to start up will not open the BIOS as it should.

Custom painting not appearing on Windows XP JVM

I have an applet that has a JComponent subclass with the following
method:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
if(fBackgroundImage != null)
    fBackgroundImage.paintIcon(this, g, 0, 0);
}where fBackgrounImage is a ImageIcon. Added to this component is
another JComponent subclass, which sits in the middle of the
original JComponent. The latter has this method:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)this.getGraphics();
if(fHighQuality)
    g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
if(fBackgroundImage != null)
    g2.drawImage(fBackgroundImage,
                 0,
                 0,
                 getWidth(),
                 getHeight(),
                 0,
                 0,
                 fBackgroundImage.getWidth(null),
                 fBackgroundImage.getHeight(null),
                 null);
for(int i=0; i<fPathsX.size(); i++)
    int[] pathX     = (int[])fPathsX.elementAt(i);
    int[] pathY     = (int[])fPathsY.elementAt(i);
    int pathLength =
((Integer)fPathLengths.elementAt(i)).intValue();
    int colour      = ((Integer)fColours.elementAt(i)).intValue();
    if(colour == COLOUR_WHITE)
      g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(WIDTH_ERASER*fBaseLineSize));
    else
      g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(WIDTH_PEN*fBaseLineSize));
    g2.setColor(fColourPalette[colour]);
    g2.drawPolyline(pathX, pathY, pathLength);
if(fPathIndex > 0)
    if(fTool == TOOL_ERASER)
      g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(WIDTH_ERASER*fBaseLineSize));
      g2.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    else
      g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(WIDTH_PEN*fBaseLineSize));
      g2.setColor(fColourPalette[fColour]);
    g2.drawPolyline(fCurrentPathX, fCurrentPathY, fPathIndex);
}(fBackgroundImage in this component is actually a BufferedImage)
On Mac OS X, this all works beautifully - the parent component draws
the background image, and the child component draws its bits on top.
On Windows however, the child does not appear. It flickers to
visible while dragging the mouse (most likely because the mousedragged method has a call to the child's repaint() method) but as soon as you stop drawing the child disappears again.
How can I ensure that the child will be drawn on top of the parent?

I didn't think of the QT version. I remember that
when I exported the QT it did use the H.264 codec. I
will try and re export the movies using MPEG-4 and
let you know.
MPEG-4 won't look as good as H.264 and won't be as small a file either. But it works.
Any ideas why the container box is not being rendeed
in the correct place on the page?
You mean the template "frame" that is supposed to border the movie window? I don't know what happened....maybe if I could take a peek at your page?
Does XP have QT pre installed? or would it be
advisable to offer a link to download to view the
content for non mac viewers (which I anticipate).
Nope. No QuickTime preinstalled on XP. It would be a nice touch to offer a link to download QT. You can use http://www.quicktime.com I think.
Would it be more compatable to use flash? if so how
would I go about it.
Flash definitely has its advantages. I have actually pretty much switched over to uploading my videos to Google and then letting them convert it to flash and stream it on my webpage. It takes a little bit of HTML editing, but it's not too bad. And the quality is pretty good too for the size of the movie window. If I had to do that with MPEG-4, then it would have been a huge file probably. Here are some examples from my site:

When i connect my ipod nano 2nd gen, it charges but does not appear in windows or itunes. I tried the reset but it didn't work. how can i fix this?

I bough a 4g Ipod nano 2nd gen for my cousins birthday. When i plug it into my computer it charges but does not show up in windows or itunes. I tried reseting it, reinstalling itunes, everything the site said but it didn't help. I am trying to sync songs to it for my cousin, but it won't work with it not connecting. Could the wire have something to do with it or is there a bigger problem here?

Glossary Not Appearing in Windows 7 64 Bit

I have RH7 installed on XP. All is OK when I view the CHM file in XP. When I view the CHM file in W7 64 Bit, the glossary does not appear.
Do I need to install RH7 under W7 64 bit to get the glossary to work under W7 64 bit? If that is true, one issue is I have Office 2010 which RH7 doesn't support and I'm not in a position to upgrade to RH10.
Is there any way to keep RH7 installed on XP and generate the CHM file that shows the glossary under W7 64 bit?
Thank you.
Shawn

IIRC you’ll have to register the 64 bit dll for CHM viewing – search the forums; this issue has come up before

My Mac HD partition will not appear in Windows 8.1, how do I get read access in windows?

The Mac HD drive doesn't appear in Windows, even though it did some time ago (maybe a year ago?). Running 10.10.1
(was upgraded from Mavericks). Really wish it were there so I could read files off it! Thanks for the help.

Rebuild MBR to match GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The boot flags only impact Windows. The Bootability of OSX is EFI-based.
Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
P (Print list of parts)
R (Recover)
H (chooses Hybrid)
Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2 3 4
Y (Good for GRUB question)
N (part 2 boot flag)
N (part 3 boot flag)
Y (part 4 boot flag, make NTFS bootable partition)
W (Write the new MBR)
Y (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot
Test and verify.

AD services not appearing in Windows 2012 menu

Hi there
I'm building a virtual 2012 environment with separate machines for AD and WSUS.
I've then built another machine called Management. Using the Windows 2012 menu, I've added the 2 machines above as machines to manage however there is a problem.
It does appear to add them as on my left hand side of the Windows 2012 panel, it shows WSUS and AD DS. However the problem is that when I click on the Tools machine to access AD, it doesn't exist. My understanding is that once I add that machine
as a machine to manage, I should get all the management options?
I've pretty sure it's worked in the past...
Any ideas?
Note: My firewall is on
Many thanks

Hi all
I got this query answered on the Windows 2012 general page, located here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/744f70f8-694b-4c6b-b0fc-6ce92e0f48a6/having-trouble-remotely-managing-other-windows-2012-servers?forum=winserver8gen
It seems I needed to add the Remote Management from the Features tab of the dashboard. I, mistakenly, was under the impression that by adding the servers to manage, it would automatically add the required Administration tool, depending on the server
role.
Thanks all for your replies and help.

'Install Updates and Shutdown' option not appearing for Windows 8.1 users

Windows 8.1 users are reporting, and I have verified, that they are not being prompted to install Windows updates while shutting down, even though the updates are downloaded. Here are the relevant Windows Update gpo's from a sample Group Policy Result
for a typical user on one of our Windows 8.1 workstations:
(Note: The "Specify intranet Microsoft update service location" is the last policy in the updates section, and the value specified there is not relevant to this question.)
These same settings when applied to Windows XP workstations used to prompt users to install updates at shutdown. That is, the default shutdown option was "Install Updates and Shutdown". That was a great workflow because all client workstations
were shut down every night and the user didn't have to worry about updates installing while they were using the workstation. All client workstations are now running Windows 8.1 Pro and the only way updates are getting installed is by manually pulling
up the Windows Update dialog and initiating updates from there. That is even worse than automatic updates that install during business hours.
I do notice that
a notification that updates are available appears in the login screen, but one can not take action upon it from there, and most users don't know how to find the update screen once they sign in; and
once updating is begun, then the Install Updates and Shutdown option becomes a default - but by that point its rather cosmetic: that is the only option (to configure the partially installed updates during shutdown) and there is nothing
that could be done to NOT do that at that point.
Is anyone having similar issues? As far as I can tell right now, there is no ability to actually switch the user's default option to
Install Updates and Shutdown in the same way as in previous Windows editions even though the GPO is identical.

Hi,

RoboHelp HTML 7 Not Appearing In Windows 7 Start Menu

I have W7, 64Bit. When I run RH7 HTML, it never appears in my recent list of programs run in the Start Menu. Other programs do, but RH7 does not. I have my Start menu properties set at the highest number of recent programs and jumps allowed. I also cleared many of my recent programs so room could be made for it to appear.
Not sure if this is a RoboHelp 7 question or a Windows forum question. Just thought I'd see if anyone else ran into the same issue.
Thanks
Shawn

Hi Shawn
I think I'd ask the question as well in a Windows forum just to be on the safe side.
Additionally, I suppose it's possible that some type of special coding is required for applications to register themselves with Windows.
Out of curiosity, you are able to make Windows 7 work with RoboHelp 7? I ask because I never could on my own Windows 7 64 bit system. I ended up installing the Microsoft Virtual Machine with XP mode to do that.
I would also encourage you to report as a Bug to Adobe. While I'm pretty certain it won't have any effect on seeing a patch emerge for RoboHelp 7, it will at least put the issue on the radar for Adobe to monitor with any future versions of RoboHelp.
And as a last item, you may wish to configure your Taskbar so that you have the Quick Launch bar. That makes it super easy to launch items. Ether that or try pinning the item. I'm not all that fond of pinning yet.
Cheers... Rick

Ipod will not appear in windows or itunes, but is definately there

Hi,
My ipod touch 64gb 3rd gen stopped appearing in itunes but still in windows. I spoke to an apple support person on the phone and we followed lots of different steps. I was told to send it off for repair/to be looked at. Apple said it was fine and sent it back to me. By this point, I had restored the ipod to factory settings via another pc and lost all my data on it.
After they sent it back, however, windows vista now also refuses to acknowledge that there is an ipod connected. I have followed all the support website steps to no avail.
Certain things make me think the pc is recognising the ipod. For instance, when I connect the ipod touch, itunes will sometimes automatically load itself up. Also, when I connect the ipod I notice in the device manager of my pc it will load the apple mobile device usb driver.
I'm fairly certain it is an issue with my computer as the ipod is recognised on other computers.
Can anyone help?

My phone did the same thing too yesterday after I took a picture. So this morning I called the tech support at my cell provider.
The tech asked me to press the sleep/ wake button (button on top of phone) and the home button at the same time for about 5-10 seconds to see if there was a reaction from the phone. Low battery showed up even though I had 60+ % when the phone acted up.
He told me the 3GS freezes sometimes and the screen will go blank, but the phone will drain the battery as if it's on the entire time. By pressing the 2 buttons, it resets the phone and should be okay.
My phone seems to be okay now. See if that works for you. Hope it helps.

IPod shuffle 2nd Gen not appearing in Windows Vista

Dear All:
I have a 2nd Gen shuffle that will not show up in iTunes or Windows on a Vista Home Basic machine. Vista finds an unrecognized USB device and cannot find a driver. The orange light on the shuffle blinks, and the Vista device manager keeps detecting an unknown USB device, but it goes no further. I am not receiving the "-50" error; the shuffle never shows up in either Vista or iTunes.
I have contacted Apple tech support and searched these forums with no results.
I have also:
-Run a different iPod (30GB video) on the same Vista computer. The 30GB video iPod works fine.
-Run the iTunes diagnostics on the same Vista computer on both the 30GB video (30GB iPod works fine) and the shuffle (shuffle not detected).
-Reinstalled iTunes from scratch on the Vista computer (3 different times) as described in
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042
shuffle not detected.
-Restarted the iPod service on the Vista computer as suggested by
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
shuffle not detected.
-Reset the shuffle and plugged back into the same Vista computer. shuffle not detected.
-Tested on a different USB port on the same Vista computer. shuffle not detected.
-Tested on a MacBook Pro in the same shuffle cradle. shuffle works fine.
-Tested on a Windows XP box in a different cradle. shuffle works fine.
-Searched the mother board manufacturer for updated Vista drivers. None available.
Is there another step that I am missing, or is iTunes, the iPod service, and Vista just not talking on this particular computer?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro + 2 x Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) Windows Vista Home Basic edition on AMD/VIA/Epox Mother Board PC

Hey, I hear ya and can sympathize. I have the same
issue. The difference is that my computer can "see"
my ipod but it refuses to show up in itunes itself;
therefore, I can't put anything on the ipod (from the
computer) and vice-versa. Apple support is clueless.
This is very frustrating to say the least. Itunes
keeps telling me that my ipod is synced to a
"different" computer, which isn't true. It's the
same computer. The difference is that when I first
got the 'pod and used it with this computer (and
everything worked fine), I was running XP. I
installed Vista and after that, all the problems
started. If I ever get this resolved, believe me,
I'll post something here.
I'm guessing that somehow, itunes "sees" what
computer it's hooked to by "looking" at something in
the OS. Change the OS and it "thinks" it's seeing a
"different" computer.
Try reformatting it.

In Photoshop Elements12 (with Windows 8.1) added titles to my pictures do not appear in Windows. Formerly, in PSE 6 (with Windows Vista) added tiltles also appeared in Windows.

Formerly using Photoshop Elements 6 with Windows Vista I could add (or change) titles to my pictures in the Organizer and find the same titles afterwards also in Windows. Nowadays using Photoshop Elements 12 with Windows 8.1 and adding titles to my pictures in the Organizer I do not find these titles in Windows any more. That makes me sad because I want to have the titles in Windows but adding the titles is much more comfortable in Photoshop Elements than in Windows. Please tell me: Is there a help for me?

I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience. That's more a
matter of your display driver not really doing its job. What video card do you have?
FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7. That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment. It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
trying to make improvements.
If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop. I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running. I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
and it just kept working fine...

Drag images not appearing in Windows

The default drag image in Linux is fine. On Windows, there is no default image. Just a cursor with a teeny-weeny box. It just does not look professional at all. Is there anything I can do about this? has anyone run into this before?
thanks,
Geoff

Thanks.
Yeah, totally strange here. On Friday it seemed to have changed. I feel as though I may have changed some sort of setting and didn't know it. However, I changed back all of the settings ( http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html#main_Re storeMac ) to the default ones. Still didn't work. I feel that I may have to unistall then reinstall it again to see if that fixes the problem.
