Keywords not "sticking"

I have a bunch of photos assigned various keywords. When I use the keyword panel to select pictures containing one or more keywords, often there are a few pictures missing. If I do a Show Info on a missing pictures I can verify that the correct keyword/s have been assigned, yet some pictures refuse to appear in a selection. Sometimes I'll have four or five pictures within a roll assigned a particular keyword; three will show and two will not, or whatever. I'm careful to show the entire library before selecting using keywords.
Any ideas?

I have just noticed this exact problem. Did you ever find a way to correct it?
I wondered whether it was because I copied the iphoto library from my laptop (iphoto 4?) to an intel macmini (Iphoto 6). Everything seems to work except this.

  • Keywords not exporting correctly

    OK, I have this tried multiple times in iPhoto '08. I export to JPEG and check the "keep titles and keywords". When I export the file to my Mac desktop and click "get info" on the file, it shows the keyword in the file info. However, if I open the file in Windows via Picasa Picture Manager or MS Office Picture Manager, the keywords do not stick (i.e., they are not visible). Is this normal? How do I make the keywords stick from iPhoto to a Windows-based photo editors? I am working on a photo project for my family, ost of whom are not Mac users. Thanks.

    P-Train
    If you tick the box on the Export panel, iPhoto writes your keywords to the IPTC data of the file and uses your title as a filename. The IPTC data is standards compliant and (I would have thought) ubiquitous.
    You can confirm this using an app like Informator
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12792/informator
    So, do these apps on Windows read this data?

  • How to add a code so my drag and drop movie clip will not stick  once it is dragged to final place o

    Hello all and kglad, I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.
    I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code below
    circle.onPress = function(){
    startDrag(this);
    circle.onRelease = function(){
    stopDrag();
    I am desparate for help on this must get project ready for this afternoon
    Seal55

    there's nothing wrong with that code but it would be better to use:
    circle.onPress = function(){
    this.startDrag();
    circle.onRelease = function(){
    this.stopDrag();
    but that won't solve your problem.  there must be something else going on like a depth issue.  you may need to use swapDepths() to bring your circle under the mouse when releasing.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • IPhoto 9.4.3-keyword "" not working correctly in smart albums

    Every May I work on the 5th Grade recognition slideshow (using Keynote) for our 5th grade students.  In iPhoto, I always give photos the checkmark keyword after I've placed that photo so that I know it's been added/used.  I have many smart photo albums with keywords like "5th graders 2012-2013" and others like the checkmark. 
    None of the smart albums seem to be recognizing and using the checkmark even though it's one of the smart album criteria.  For example, I have a smart album called
    "5th grade-already used" which has the criteria Match All:  Keyword is "5th graders-2012-2013" and Keyword is "✔".  However, even after giving some photos the checkmark keyword, this smart album shows up empty.
    Similarly, I have another smart album called "5th-Still to use" which has criteria Match All: Keyword is "5th graders-2012-2013" and Keyword is not "✔". The photos that I've placed the checkmark on are STILL showing up here.
    These smart albums have always worked before.  Has anyone else noticed issues with the checkmark keyword not working properly?  It has to have happened with an update sometime in the past year.

    When I went to open the library using iPhoto Library Manager, it had to upgrade the library to work with this version of iPhoto.
    That's normal.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

    Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
    Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel.  I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
    I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine.  I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets.  Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file.  How nice.  Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
    1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably:  what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
    I especially dislike obtaining erratic results:  most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not.  Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features.  However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
    2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
    (I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)
    Dick Rawson

    I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
    I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom.  Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata."  I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
    So I'm asking:
    1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
    2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output?  I can't find that Adobe does.
    > Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
    I did export the keywords into such a list:  most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
    My concern is not that the brackets are there.  They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
    > ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
    I haven't, either.

  • Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

    Hi
    I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
    When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
    Thanks Nigel

    Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

  • Mouse pointer does not stick on fader when moving it

    Using Logic Pro 9. If I grab any fader, the mouse pointer turns into a small dot. If I then drag the fader up or down, the dot does not stick on the fader. Instead, I find I have to drag the dot well above or below the fader to make big adjustments. Is there any setting to control this? Or is this just how it is in Logic. In all other audio applications I've seen, the mouse pointer sticks on the fader when moving it up or down.

    No - haven't found a fix for this yet. I can only guess that maybe it wasn't as noticeable when display screens weren't so big. I'm running on a 27" iMac so the effect is quite pronounced. I supposed it could be argued that it gives you a finer grain of control to make small changes - but it really takes away from the 'feel' like you are moving a real fader.

  • Mail preferences not sticking

    I access iCloud email via the web when I'm at work (Win XP SP3 + latest release of Chrome).  Recently (as in over the past couple weeks, give or take) my preferences (not showing images in HTML email, default email address for sending, show BCC, etc.) are not sticking permanently.  Sometimes I make/save the changes and they stay for days; other times (like this morning) they don't even stay set for an hour.  My rules are always there, but the other preferences need to be reset periodically -- and seemingly randomly -- to their default values.
    I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, etc.  I have not tried another browser because (1) it could be days between "resets" and I don't want to have to use another browser for that long just for troubleshooting and (2) I need this to work in Chrome, so whether it works in another browser is more or less moot.  No matter what troubleshooting steps I've taken, the problem recurs unpredictably.  It is very frustrating because I have to keep a constant eye on the "From" address when replying or sending new messages to mailing lists I'm on (which reject messages from the address that iCloud defaults to), plus with the option defaulting to "On" to show images in HTML email, I'm opening myself up to even more spam than usual.
    So two questions:
    Is anyone else having this same issue?
    Why are these preferences apparently stored in cookies rather than persisting on Apple's server?  Or if they ARE on Apple's server, why do I have to keep changing them back periodically?
    Thanks,
    Brent

    As follow-up, just since I posted this message and without reloading the iCloud tab, restarting the browser, or anything like that, the preferences have once again reverted themselves less than an hour after I changed them.

  • Latest OSX Mavericks on an iMac..... Gmail, View, Sort By,  Date does not stick...

    Sort by date does not stick...
    Is there a solution?

    I've tried re-installing my iTunes software and searched throughout the forums and elsewhere without so far being able to determine how to resolve this difficulty.
    In case my original question formulation was not clear, in the past I could click on the header (while viewing my iTunes library in 'Songs' view) and cycle through "Album", "Album by Artist", in either ascending or descending order, and so forth.
    Now I'm only able to chose between "Album by Artist", either ascending or descending. There is no "Album" view option available to me, as there has always been in the past.
    I'm completely puzzled as to how this happened. Perhaps I inadvertently hit the wrong key combination while using iTunes and it changed something, I just don't know.
    I would really appreciate it if any other forum members have suggestions as to how I might fix this!

  • MAX settings do not stick

    Hi - I'm trying to use FTDI drivers to simulate a COM port from an USB connection. Most WinXP SP2 or 3 machines have no problem, but I have one machine where having run MAX to ensure correct port operation, on quit and relaunch MAX shows a port conflict. This can be cleared with the available controls, but recurs the next time MAX is started. The settings do not stick. The subsystem (a TTi QL355TP power supply) does not see the communication either on this machine, and is OK on the others.
    Environment: LV 8.2.1, MAX 4.1 or 4.2.1 . Would prefer not to upgrade LV to more recent version at this stage. LV 8.2.1 re-installed.
    Any help or nudges much appreciated.

    Thanks for reply. I can't obtain a screenshot at the moment, but the MAX display is a standard diagnostic I've seen on other occasions. Select a COM port in 'Configuration', and the "Port Settings' tab at the bottom has 'Conflict' added. The screen area above shows two columns of 'Settings', one from MS Windows, the other from MAX. These columns disagree in (for example) speed or flow control. Pressing 'Validate' aligns the two, 'conflict' disappears, 'Save' at top of screen appears to save correctly, and everything's fine. Except that the application this setting relies on still has a communication problem, and if you restart MAX the screen display resets to how I described above!
    Re-install or repair of NI software does not fix it, nor does re-install of USB drivers. A corrupt data file on this machine would fit the observed evidence - are you able to point me to all the files that MAX may write? A corrupt MS Windows Registry entry might do it also, I guess. Do you know of any tools for checking or fixing such problems? The problem was triggered by a clumsy cleanup of installed NI software that was aborted partway through. The system is installed with a customer making a clean install of everything difficult and we are right at the point of having to write an unattractive workaround that uses a lower level serial interface to allow us to use NI Spy to eke out the required functionality.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Changes made in Book Module do not "stick" when the book has been duplicated

    Lr 5.2 stand-alone version (not CC) – Win 7 64-bit
    I had made a duplicate of the book (right-click the book Collection and select <Duplicate>). Then I made changes to the original book – changed the font for captions and for body; changed the wording of the body text; changed the padding for images. At some point in the process these changes did not '”stick” anymore. The changes were visible as long as I worked in the Book Module. But the changes were gone and the book reverted to the previous state as soon as I went to the Library and back to the Book Module. Same thing happened when I closed Lr and re-opened it.
    Replacing the Preference File did not change this behavior. But when I deleted the duplicate book the behavior of Lr went back to “normal”, i.e. the changes now “stick”.
    In my opinion there must be a bug that prevents that changes “stick” when after a Duplicate of a book has been created.

    You're not the only one using TCS1. I, too, must endure Adobe's initial FM-RH Integration software offering with its limited patches and multiple workarounds (I don't sound bitter, do I?).
    Do you have the latest patches?
    When you say you modified titles in your FM book, did you modify the document titles from the book file, thereby changing the file names? Or did you change heading styles within a FM document/chapter?
    If you changed the file name in any way, verify in the RH Project Manager that all links to the referenced FM files are not broken. If any file links are broken, you can resolve them in the RH Project Manager.
    Changing a heading name within a FM document should not cause you this grief, as long as the file links between FM and RH remain intact.
    As I don't know your level of experience, I'll make an suggestion to someone new to FM-RH integration (although, since you're using TCS1, I presume you are an experienced user). When updating the RH project, are you selecting Force Update or Update All. Force Update applies changes made in FM to your RH project. Update All only applies changes made in RH.
    Also, RH has a feature that allows you to select specific topics to ignore when running a Force Update (i.e. changes in FM won't be applied to the selected topics). Make sure no topics are selected for this purpose.
    If all else fails (and I don't recommend this unless you tried every other possibility), delete and re-import the book. There's another thread that helps you through this process without you having to manually reapply your settings.
    Good luck!

  • Changes made in the PODCAST GET INFO window do not "stick"?

    When working with podcasts, changes made in the GET INFO window do not "stick" for newly downloaded podcasts? In other words the changes are not persistent for newly downloaded podcasts. I want the changes to apply to past, present, and future podcasts.

    thats difficult to say without seeing the code in the template.
    when you dont supply any _tempate value in the url, the system by default uses
    WEBREPORTING_SELSCREEN template.
    your po_selscreen may be a copy of this and modified to change the look and feel or something like that. compare these two and see whats causing the selscreen from appearing completely
