Lost DNG adjustments for a WHOLE WEDDING! HELP!!!

As you can see, I am in a frantic stage. I just finished editing through close to 800 photos of a wedding that I recently shot. After I finished editing them I went to the floder location, in Windows, not Lightroom 3 (huge mistake), and I made a folder inside of that folder called "raw". I selceted all of the photos and then moved them into the that folder. So, the files were in weddings/021812/ and I put them in weddings/021812/raw/ . When I went to Lightroom, of course it said that the files were offline. Instead of finding the missing folder, I clicked "synchronize folder" and pointed towards the "raw" folder. I noticed that the images were importing without their setting and I cancelled the synchronization. I went back to windows and moved all of the photos back to their original folder and now when I try to "update folder location", the photos do not show up in Lightroom. If anyone has a solution, it would be more than appreciated.

This is a much discussed topic ....
The most important thing is backing up your catalog, as this contains ALL information about your images, whereas XMP data only contains a subset (no virtual copies, stacks, collections, flags, develop history).
Some people use writing out XMP as a "last resort" backup, but it is beneficial mainly for opening images with other applications than LR. Be aware that writing out metadata to DNGs updates the update timestamp of the files, so an (incremental) backup of those files will back them up again, although "only" metadata, and not the original, has been changed.
Also, what is the specific step that I need to take, after I edit all of my images, to make this happen? Do I select all of my images and hit ctrl+s? Thanks again for your help!
Yes, Ctrl-S will do the job, or have "Automatically write changes to XMP" checked in your catalog settings. Be aware that writing out metadata takes place in a background thread, and might take quite some time after applying many changes (like applying metadata to many selected images).

Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. Th

Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.

Lost my iphone 5 and want your help to get it. Have my apple id for 2 devices

Lost my iphone 5 and need your help please since i downloaded find my iphone and can only locate my ipad

If Find My iPhone doesn't show a location for the iPhone, then unless your carrier offers some sort of tracking service, there will be no way to locate the phone other than to just look for it. Notify the police in case someone turns it in and change passwords to your Apple ID and any other online services you used from your iPhone.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Help! Lost Installation CD for PD1030.

Help! Lost Installation CD for Creative WebcamPro PD1030. Can someone help me to get a replacement CD ? Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter: Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management. Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”. Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused. Usually, “M”, “N”, “O”, or something similar.
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Also try this (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.

Hi newyorker2014,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are no longer seeing the app in question on your iPhone, but it is showing as purchased on the App Store, you should be able to redownload it directly. You may find the following article helpful:

Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.

.xmp not recognized by Bridge CS 5.5. All previous solutions here not working for me. Please help.

First of all, this issue has existed for me since CS4.
When I load an .nef file into photoshop from bridge, it opens in camera raw. Once I edit that photo and send it to photoshop, an .xmp file is created and those changes should show up in bridge, but they don't. Looking in my folder of raw files, I can see the .xmp file.
To make matters more confusing, this only occurs with one of my two cameras. I have two seemingly identical Nikon D300s DSLRs. One with a 14mm and one with a 70-200 zoom. Bridge's issue with failing to recognize .xmp files only occurs with folders that contain photos shot with the camera with the zoom lens.
I have exhausted all of the solutions I have been able to find on this forum: telling my mac to open .xmp files with Bridge, telling Bridge to always use high quality thumbnails with 100% preview.
Can someone please help?

I have exhausted all of the solutions I have been able to find on this forum: telling my mac to open .xmp files with Bridge, telling Bridge to always use high quality thumbnails with 100% preview.
For several years ago I decided to convert all my CR2 Raw files (I use Canon) to DNG upon ingestion of the files. Not only is DNG an open standard and therefor will it be long supported but mainly because I was growing mad of all the side car XMP files. DNG stores the XMP info into the file itself. No more hidden files no more mistakes in copy files leaving XMP lost in a folder, etc. etc.
Although it is strange one dSLR has this problem and the other not I don't think it is lens related as Curt kindly suggested. To my knowledge lenses affect the EXIF data and Bridge creates the XMP Data as a sidecar file (by default selected in the Camera Raw preferences) with rating, labeling and ACR settings.
By default Bridge also does not show hidden items (that XMP files are). Could you double check with Raw files from both cameras next to each other and after having altered them both in ACR (i.e. plus 2 in exposure to make a real difference) and in the Bridge menu view show hidden files (sort Bridge on filename for easy viewing).
And if one is not showing the altered result could you click on it and with right mouse click menu check 'purge cache for selection and see if this changes things. (If the changes are there in PS as Curt already asked this might also help)
Could you also convert both files to DNG (Adobe has a free DNG converter for download (see also this link or Google it):
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
And could you provide a short summary of the solutions you already tried (all previous solutions is a little vague :-) )
Having set XMP to open in Bridge is not important, XMP is not meant to be opened by the user, Bridge uses it to read and write but other apps also. For instance I just tested on an old CR2 file with XMP and by default it opens in Adobe Photoshop Elements (also on my system like CS5 Suite, Aperture and Lightroom) as I discovered using the get info command. Bridge wasn't even on the list for possible opening options :-)
Also 100 % preview will not help, it just slows things down very much because the cache needs much more time to build and the cache file will grow to huge proportions...
Only if you want to use to compare all files at 100 % you might benefit from that setting.

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

What to get for University? Please Help!

Hello all!
Alright, well. I am just about to start my last year in highschool before I'm off to university,
and of course, I'm going to need a laptop.
I currently have a HP G62. Thinking it would be alright, however the battery life is terrible.
(So I am now selling on eBay)
It lasts about 2-3 hours on a single full charge (WITHOUT) Wi-fi turned on. And brightness on lowest.
This is of course ridiculous, as I won't be able to use it for a whole day of classes in future.
So, for the first time in my life I am going to buy from Apple.
I was thinking of getting a Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 Ghz, and hoping to get $100.00 off with my Mums education pricing.
Approximiately, how many years would this laptop last me without having to replace anything? (Except for Battery)
Please note I am a protection freak, and would use every protection known to 'Zagg.com' to protect my laptop.
Would it last five years? Eight years?
Could really do with your help guys.

Yeah it's problems found by practically (apparently not everyone) everyone who's upgraded to Lion. I'm not 100 % sure on downgrading if the Mac comes with the Lion OS.
My opinion on this is, people come onto these support forums to write about the problems they are having, they don't come on here to write about how good things are. Therefore, most of what you read will be negative.
I have personally set up two machines with Lion and both have worked perfectly since.
I have two friends who work as support techs and both support over 100 machines running lion and they both love it. It can't be all bad.
My personal opinon of Lion, is that it is very intuitive and designed for increased productivity, which is what i'm achieving.
I would love to see a poll of users to see who is having sucess and who isn't.

Freight cost condition for the whole purchase order (Header relation)

Maybe you could help me out with the following difficulty regarding freight costs for the whole purchase orders from the mass maintenance transaction MEK1 for pricing conditions.
I try to have one freight condition for the whole purchase order.
For instance, I maintained in the transaction MEK1 for the condition FRA1 the key combination vendor and purchasing organization (table 44) and entered an absolute value of X EUR.
Unfortunately this condition will not pulled as header costs in the purchase order, because I would have had defined an access sequence in the condition type, but this is not allowed for header conditions in general.
Do you have any workaround to maintain an item condition, which works like a header condition, so that I am allowed to have an access sequence and be able to maintain MEK1?
Any comments and help are very welcome.
Many thanks in advance
Sabrina

Hi,
Fright and discount conditions are called supplement conditon type and they are always matained with main condition type.
Please check PB00 condition type in m/06 transaction. You will find pricing procedure assinged as RM0002 to PB00 condtion type.
So you can maintain fra1 and other supplement condtions in main condtion only in MEk1 trasnaction.
By selecting the line item and then shift + F7 you can maintain fright or discount condtions for PB00 condition types with out having access sequence for supplement condtion types.

Should i use secure sockets for my whole client/server application?

Hi,
I have a client server application, and I want to ensure that the login process is secure (i.e. use secure sockets). but I dont know how to switch back to a normal socket once that is done.
So I am left thinking that i should just use SSL for my whole application, which can last pretty long. But I would rather not. Is there any other way of doing this?
or should I just encrypt the login info using MD5 or something like that, then send it over an unsecure socket?
thanks!

Hey,
Are you sure you haven't confused JGSS for JSSE?
Imagine you have a client-server system and you sometimes want data sent over the wire to be encrypted... JGSS offers you this flexibility; if you a encrypted transmission, run ift through JGSS before transmitting it; if you don't want an encrypted transmission, bypass JGSS and just send the transmission.
The benefit is the security (encryption) isn't hard-wired into you communications protocol i.e. TLS. JGSS has nothing to do with connections it is just protocol for securing messages, not sending them.
You would need to establish the secure context but this could be done at startup and persist for the duration of you applicaiton invocation. You perhaps might need to implement a mechanism to identify encrypted messages on the receiving peer (so it knows to attempt decryption).
Admittedly, kerberos seems like one of those 'inside-joke' things. I've come to realise if you don't have some sort of kerberos realm/server against which to authenticate - you need to swap it out as the underlying mechanism. How this is done I'm not sure yet, but I intend to find out today....further down the rabbit hole I go!
If I discover anything helpful, I will let you know.
Warm regards,
D
