Labels, titles, ratings just disappeared

Thanks

Losing folder labels and ratings

This has been a very frustrating problem that I've had for years, now, and across several versions of Adobe Bridge. In a nutshell, Bridge seems to randomly lose labels and ratings on folders.
Further information: I am not moving nor copying these folders. If anything, I periodically add some files to some of them, but there are several that I don't even touch. One day, I'll give some of these folders a label and a rating, and the next day, some of them have lost their labels and all of them have lost their ratings. Why is this? I know that labels and ratings are primarily meant for individual files, particularly images likes JPGs, but I've never seen anything that says they cannot be used with folders. Also, note that none of my labels and ratings have disappeared from files; this only seems to be a problem with folders. Please help me to understand and fix this issue.

Can't help you much because I never have used labels and ratings for folders. However, like a Raw file, folders itself are not capable of storing XMP metadata, while DNG, jpeg, tiff PSD etc, can store this metadata in the file itself. When you rate or label a folder in Bridge this metadata is stored in a hidden file with a document icon called ".BridgeLabelsAndRatings".
You can check yourself on a folder with subfolders you have not rated before, in Menu View check the option to show hidden files, rate or label one folder and this file will show up. So either something has gone wrong with this file or you did unknowingly removed it somehow, just my guess.

Photos in a project have just disappeared!

Not sure if this problem was there before or after I installed Aperture 3.4.2 (about two hours ago) but in one of my projects a large number of photos have just disappeared. The ratings remain but all you can see is a black space and the size of the files has been reduced from around 28 MB to just 100kb or so.
I have all the original photos this partcular project backed up elsewhere but without all the adjustments I made.
So far this has happened to only one project but I'm a little worried it might be some kind of virus. Help!

Oh and by the way I don't have the filter set on the viewer (it says unrated or better).

LR not getting labels and ratings from Bridge - SOMETIMES?

I'm starting to feel a bit masochistic 'cause I just keep trying to use Lightroom... But, there are enough things that are so much easier to do in Bridge that I still use it for everything but Lightroom's Develop module...
Anyhow, in Lightroom I loaded a directory of images (about 70). In Bridge I examined the same directory of images and rated some with 5 stars, and some of those with GREEN...
Back to LR... None of the changes show up. Looked around LR for something that would tell it to update the images in its library. The only thing I could find was the metadata/XMP/Import XMP thing, and that didn't do anything (is there something else in there that I'm just missing?). Finally, I DELETED the whole directory, and imported the images again. STILL no labels or ratings. I even shut down LR and Bridge and restarted LR to see if that'd help... Then did the metadata/XMP/Import again. Still no change.
Now I KNOW this has worked before, 'cause I've seen the images with the labels and ratings... Any ideas how come it refuses to work on these images?
BTW: If I change a label or rating in LR it shows up immediately in Bridge.

Tried that as part of the "how do I get metadata from Bridge into here" activity... On this set it still didn't bring in the changes... It may just be an aberation but its really bizarre to have different sets of images appear differently... But, since I just got killed by LR and its "Out of Memory" message I'm back to square one again anyhow.

My iTunes Library/Playlist Just Disappeared

Hello, I hope you are well.
I have been using iTunes for years without any major problems. Today, it was fine during the afternoon, but after I shut it down and turned it back on, iTunes greeted me with the screen telling me to add songs to my Library.
The Library that I have been using for years just disappeared, and there are no playlists at all. I checked for the music files on my computer, and they are all there - both the hundreds I've purchased directly from the iTunes Store, as well as the hundreds more that I've purchased or obtained elsewhere.
I just spent the last hour searching up a way to retrieve my Library. I found that there are hundreds of people with the same problem, but most of them do not seem to care that they've lost their Library information. I know that I can probably just drag all the song files back into iTunes, but I really do not want the song information - play counts, ratings, etc. - to disappear, as I've spent a lot of time organizing my Library.
Please help. Thank you very much. I am running Windows 7 Professional and am using the latest stable version of iTunes, 9.0.1.8. I also have an iPod Nano that has all the songs and is pretty much updated to the latest iTunes Library (before it reseted itself), if that helps.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

Labeling and ratings in CS5

Hi:
I'd like to move my image approval and organization process toward a metadata workflow. I know Bridge offers labeling and ratings of RAW formats and they are both captured in the XMP. Are there any existing concerns - that is, is this a persistent solution so that if I need to go back to the file 5 years from now, the metadata will still be compatible in the existing XMP file? I saw some postings on the labels going white, and unfortunately, I haven't had the time to check all the previous discussions. But I'm at the point where I need to implement something different with my team and real soon. I apologize if I'm just a smidge skeptical, but I want to be certain that this will work for the long term. Thanks

I know Bridge offers labeling and ratings of RAW formats and they
are both captured in the XMP. Are there any existing concerns
Yes there are always concerns, specially when using different Raw files and
different users.
Using Raw format and rating labeling creates a separate XMP file for the
original Raw file. This travels with the file automatically as long as you
use Bridge for moving them between folders. The XMP files are by default
hidden files and therefore not visible in Bridge (If you want to check
choose menu View/show hidden files). The first time you add stars, labels or
metadata info like IPTC to a Raw file it creates such a hidden file.
But losing that file for whatever reason causes also los of rating, label
and IPTC metadata. Once developed and saved as f.i. PSD or jpeg the
metadata and rating/label is written into the file itself.
Therefore you might consider to switch to a DNG workflow. All metadata,
labeling and rating is saved into this file so no longer bothering about
losing separate XMP files.
is this a persistent solution so that if I need to go back to the file 5 years
from now, the metadata will still be compatible in the existing XMP file?
DNG is an open standard created by Adobe and as open standard likely to be
trusted for years to come. This is not certain for all the different Raw
files the vendors create for each new dSLR they produce, some of the early
ones are already hard to convert in current Raw apps.
Adobe has a free DNG Converter but if you ingest the files yourself from
card reader you could use Adobe Photo downloader and fill in some options
like converting to DNG, back up original Raw,rename and add copyright
template.
saw some postings on the labels going white,
First of all, planning to work on a filing system for your images also needs
a good back up strategy, there is always a chance something goes wrong...
The labels turning white is mainly caused by switching to other languages or
later in the process change label names to other then the default. If Bridge
can't compare the label name set in earlier times with current changed (or
other language) name it turns the label to white. However it still keeps the
name given to the file when original labeled. This is easy to select in the
filter panel where you can select all the files with same label name with a
checkmark in front.
Personally I still don't trust Bridge for using as Digital Asset Management,
have had to much trouble in the past and also believe you can't create an
app for all functions. I use Bridge very much and for all my files for
ingestion of raw files, rating, renaming metadata, open in ACR using
Tools/Photoshop/Batch, the output module for contact sheets etc etc. And I
really love it despite it is still not the app it can be.
But for my archive with 50K + of images I use Canto Cumulus Single user that
is designed for DAM. Also not perfect but very good compared with value for
money. Have also used Extensis Portfolio (to slow on my system, used
different versions) and for quit a long time iView media until Microsoft
took it over, changed the name to Media Expression and killed it not long
after.

Note just disappeared

I had one of my notes just disappear - poof - from my iphone (while I opened it and had no signal...cell or wifi). I opened it - saw the title - clicked it - then a blank note replaced it and I didn't really know what happened - it was that quick. Then I want back to see list of notes and it was gone. It's a very important note - can I retrieve it? This will kill me to lose all those notes on that particular note pad.

i think i did. i'm totally new to the iphone so i'm probably doing something wrong (and not the phone's fault)
hmmm, i just plugged my iphone into my imac to charge/sync it, and saw my current note vanish into the top left hand corner. so if syncing deletes the note - where does it go?
and how can i stop this from happening? surely must be a way...
thanks!

HT3448 I am at my wits end! :-( My horizontal scroll has just disappeared? I have scoured all of the forums and had no luck? It is not the preference setting to always show scroll as my vertical one is there? Please help??

It is in the title. I am working on a web site and some tricky css and I cannot believe I cannot see where my horizontal scroll has gone? It has just disappeared. My whole day has been wasted trying to figure this out. It is nothing to so with the preferences.....always show scroll as my horizontal one is there? Please please help with this I feel like crying as I have so much to do and I cannot do anything?

That tricky css may have disabled your horizontal scroll. Any help in this stackoverflow link?
Also, do a find in the CSS and HTML (inline css) for an overflow-x: hidden; .

Downloads just disappear from the specified location such as "Desktop" or "My Documents".They are untraceable afterwards.Why does this happen?And because of this I have uninstalled Firefox and now use Chrome.

I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
My problem started with the downloads.
1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Most of my old mail just disappeared. How do I get it back?

Mail from before January 28 has just disappeared from my mailbox. Other mailboxes were not affected. How do I get the mail back?

These instructions apply only if you've been backing up with Time Machine.
Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. You'll see a series of Mail windows cascading back in time, each representing a snapshot of the Mail database.
Scroll back to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox named "com.apple.Mail.backup" in the On My Mac group. From there you can move them wherever you like.
Depending on how many mailboxes you have, you may have to scroll the mailbox list up or down to see the new entry. According to some reports, you might have to relaunch Mail, or perhaps wait a while for the database to be reindexed, before it shows up. I can't confirm those reports.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact. Help!!

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/3.0/en/9889.html
Hope this helps,
