Lost files (not the usual)

I've had Lightroom for a few months now and have some 17,000 images loaded through it from an external hard drive and have done extensive work on at least 2,000 of these images.
Today I turn on Lightroom(latest version) and the folder section on left side of window shows a TOTAL of 300 images. These are the most recent images I've downloaded. There are no folders and subfolders shown with the ? shown....just the 2 folders with these images in them.
My files are still on my hard drive but do not show up in Lightroom. All tutorials and Q&A about this (lost files) always refers to the ? being by the folders in Lightroom. My numerous folders and sub-folders are not even showing up. I hope this can be resolved without me loading some 17,000 images back into Lightroom. and what about all the Lightroom changes I've made to them?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Ed

Ed,
From your post, it sounds like you didn't understand what Paige was asking. He wasn't talking about folders.
Lightroom's catalogue is a file like any other, and it's possible that you have created a second one, into which you imported those 300 images.
Try this menu command and see if it lists a second catalogue:
If it does, click on it and see if your previous images are there.

URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

Hi there,
As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best,

PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

Hello,
We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
Kind regards
Udo

Hello,
Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
- Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
- Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
- GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
- CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
- After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
- Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

Not the usual 'login loop' problem, help.

The login loop problem I'm facing is not the usual login loop problem when starting up mac; it's when I'm trying to log into websites or applications (most of them, eg. facebook, instagram).
I have tried:
using other browsers: Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome
clearing all cookies / caches / keychains / passwords
repairing disk
deleting launchservices cache
using other userid to login
All to no avail.
How do I solve this without having to reformat/install mac?
Thank you.

Hi, are you using Parental contrils or a managed account, or an admin account?

Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

Hi people
it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
Console looks like this:
Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Mar 5 00:37:11 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:39:34 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:40:04: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Mar 5 00:41:15 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting

I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
Cheers,
Daniel

I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
Aaaaargh!
The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

In search results, Summary sometimes shows the top of file, not the text I searched for

I'm searching lots of html files, it's a web site that's not imported into Sharepoint. Search is returning the correct files, but about half the time the Summary contains the text at the top of the html file, not the text surrounding the text I searched
for. It's a big problem, users have to open the file then find the search text to see if it's useful.
If I search for 'potato' here's an example Summary which is ok:
All pages in issue FTDA-1983-0409:
00010002000300040005000600070008000900100011001200130014001500160017001800190020
… today's dieticians, the potato … most of us enjoy a
potato cooked …
Here's a Summary just showing text from the top of the file, 'potato' is present, but lower in the file:
0001000200030004000500060007000800090010001100120013001400150016001700180019002000210022002300240025002600270028
… issue: date: January 19, 1980, page …
Could anyone help me get it to consistently show the text around the search text please?

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
Does this only happen on one specific website?
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
It is possible that there is a problem with that web page and that there is a clear:both CSS rule missing that causes Firefox to start the next line at the horizontal position where the previous line ended.
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

8520 Email-Not the usual

Well...almost not the usual. My 8520 has the Data Services and I've already gone to the Host Routing Table to register. Neither of these have prompted the add email account instead of the Enterprise option on the email set-up. Any other ideas?????

Are you trying to use the Setup Wizard? If so, don't use that. Look for the "Email Setup" or "Manage Internet Email" icon, usually located in the Settings folder.

Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
play.
Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
specified buffer time).
In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
may be a related issue?
Help??? I don't even know where to begin.

thank you in advance.

Try changing the line:
td { }
in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
td { vertical-align: top; }
This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

IMac DV firmware trap- but not the usual symptoms, help?

ok, ok, I admit, I got nailed by the Firmware Trap on my friend's iMac DV 500, but I don't have the usual no-video and shutdown problems typical of the classic firmware issue. The iMac has video, and boots fine from Panther install disks, and does not shut itself down, but it won't install anything, and it won't complete booting from OS 9 install CD (it gets partway thru, but Finder won't load) or utility CDs (only goes as far as splash screen in TechToolPro OS9.2)
I knew about the update firmware issue, but since it already had OS X installed, I thought that it had the needed update, whose exact # I didn't remember and which looked correct to me in the System Profiler.. 4.1.7 (of course, now I remember, it's actually 4.1.9). The install did not give me any firmware warning, but the Panther install failed with massive errors (according to log). Eventually I read that OS10.1 could be (and was) installed and running without the update, as of course it would, having been released before the update... but that didn't occur to me at the time.
There is no working OS on the drive- I'd chosen to erase it first. Before I realized that firmware might be the issue, I (uh-oh) started it up from the Panther CD again, ran Disk Utility (which reported it "repaired" the HD)and (cringe) also booted from an OSX-based TechToolPro CD, which started up, then shut down/restarted when i tried to run tests, and would not reboot from that CD again. If it tries to start up from just the HD it comes to the blinking folder question mark screen... as it would, having no working system installed. Video seems completely normal.
I have tried an Open Firmware reset, pulled and reinstalled the RAM and backup battery, unplugged the HD, reset the logic board- nothing changed. The Sleep button trick won't work because it will not go to sleep, and it has video anyway.
My question... what, if anything, to try now?
I have video and start-up, but i can't get OS 9 to boot far enuf to install, which I need to do to be able to update the firmware. Should I pull the drive and install to it separately, then reinstall it and try to boot from it, or is this a waste of time (ie, does it sound like the logic board is already irretrievably whacked)? Any other ideas?
I tend macs for several friends and relatives who have them (non-profit!), and don't want it to get out that I inadvertently killed one!

I found these links for another topic thread. They have the technician's service manual for slot loader iMacs, in PDF format (both link to the same manual). There is a section in the manual on trouble-shooting, and it includes a section on the PMU reset procedure (pages 196 and 197).

Unable to open PNG files "not the right kind of document"

I just noticed this error today when I tried to open several PNG files, some of which I created with Photoshop: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I'm running Photoshop 9.0.2 on Windows XP Pro. Opening other file types (gif, jpg) works fine. I also noticed that in the save as dialog box that PNG is not a listed file type.

PNG certainly is listed as a file type. I have saved many of them using Save As, many quite recently, using PSCS3; and I just did a couple in PSCS2. Here's the Save As box in PSCS2 with an 8-bit flattened image being saved as PNG:
 
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91_thumb.png" border="0" />
 And here's the Save As box in CS2 with a 16-bit layered image being saved as PNG:
 
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1_thumb.png" border="0" />
 
 Both PNG images opened properly. The second one opened as 16-bit, flattened (layers aren't preserved in PNG).
 
 And both of the above images were Saved As PNG from PSCS2, also.

Total of line items in line item file not the same as in statement file

Hi,
Can anyone give an idea about this error?
I analysed teh multicash file for the totals and line items total ties out with the statement total and formats of the file also seem to be fine.
not sure why the error persists?
Raj/

You should give the exact message, with message number.
If it is FB 777, "DTAUS: Number of line items not equal to control total; see long text", you should see the long text. I think it contains sufficient information:
Text
DTAUS: Number of line items not equal to control total; see long text
Diagnosis
data records of record type 'C' were handed over in the file you
    imported. There must be data records according to the control total
    from the fourth field of record type 'E'.
Processing was therefore terminated.
The DTAUS file was not imported into the bank data clipboard. No
    postings were generated.
Procedure
Inform your credit institution about the error which has occurred and
    let them give you a correct DTAUS file.
No actions are necessary in the SAP System.

How do I to recover lost files on the iPhone 4 due to a restore?

This past weekend, my iphone 4 suddenly stop sending and recieveing calls then wouldn't do anything until I restore it on itunes. So I restored it but since my phone hasen't been synced recently, I lost several songs and apps that I paid for and several photos/videos too. I really don't want to have to purchase those apps and songs again. So, if it is possible to recover those files and whoever knows how to do it; please respond to this as soon as possible.

1. (You KNOW what's coming) NEVER restore or update any device without backing up/syncing first.
2. You can re-download virtually all apps without paying again.
3. SOL for music/media from iTunes - you'll have to pay again.
4. Photos and any other data/files on the phone which were lost cannot be recovered. There are no data recovery methods for iPhones.

Data Guard: standby archivelog files not the same as the primary archivelog

From reading the Data Guard doco, one gets the impression that that the standby redo archive logs are just a mirror of those from the primary, that the shipped and applied archived redo logs from the primary are what end up in the standby archive directories.
However I have noted that the files are not the same (md5sum is different), which is concerning as using Oracle's archive log naming recommendation, the files have identical names.
Does this mean that the Standbys redologs can not be used as a source of redo logs if one had to restore using a backup of the primary database?
i.e. Can you recover using an RMAN backup of the primary, and redo logs from the standby?

Hi MSK, I agree, that's exactly what I thought. I'm confused though why the logs do not match. Perhaps it is just metadata in the log that has changed, not redo data.
Anyone have any knowledge on why the archivelogs are different on the standby to those on the primary?

RoboHelp 10 Context Sensitive Help Displays Full Help File, Not the One Topic

I create WebHelp with RoboHelp V10 that contains context sensitive help to be displayed in a software application. When I click on any of the field names in the application, the entire Help file displays with TOC, Index, & Search, tabs but not the field level popup definition the Map ID is mapped to. I moved the RoboHelp V9 generated version files back to the server and the context sensitive help works correctly. Is there something different I need to deploy to the server to display the correct Map ID? I am using IE8 to test both conditions.
The Map ID's the software application calls to the Map IDs have not changed between the versions of RoboHelp.

Whilst the HHP is required to create CHMs, it can also be used to open damaged projects. Just be aware it will only be as good as the last time you generated some help and not just CHMs.
