Lost labels and flag in Aperture 3

All of a sudden, using Aperture 3, my color labels and flags disappeared from my split view,
I've seen this once before, but I can't find out how to turn in the view of both the color label and orange flag in the upper right corner.
Thanks, !

"View ▹ Metadata Display ▹ Switch ... ".
If that doesn't work, customize the Metadata Overlays at "View ▹ Metadata Display ▹ Customize".
There are some posts on this forum as well.
Note there is a Tool Strip icon for this as well. The Tool Strip is in the bottom border of both the Browser and the Viewer. The icon depicts a paper luggage tag with a 5-pointed star on it.
If that doesn't help you straighten things out, post back.

Updated Ratings, Labels and Flags in LR3?

I understand in LR2 that ratings and labels are global -- apply them in any folder or collection and they will appear everywhere and that flags are local -- apply them to a folder or collection and they will only appear in that local folder or collection.
Is this still true in LR3? Has there been an update so that individual photos in specific collections can have can have their own specific stars separate from the original star in their original folder?

Flags remain local!
No to your other question.

Reminders are not appearing in Mail - and its the only way to set labels for flags.

Every place I look for information about how to set the labels for flags in Mountain Lion Mail shows that they're editable once you click "show" next to "REMINDERS" in the sidebar. However, my sidebar has no "REMINDERS" heading, and there seems to be no preference or option anywhere related to this. I upgraded from Snow Leopard today; I had reminders showing (as "To Do's"). I really really want to change the labels on the flags because they're useless otherwise.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Flags and reminders are no longer coupled in Mountain Lion. So I'll try to explain how to see your flagged messages.
You can see a sidebar in Mail that looks like this. Yours may not display the "Flagged" row yet. I'll explain that in a minute, If you don't see this sidebar, make it visible by clicking that arrow on top that would say "Show" if the sidebar were invisible (it says "Hide" here):
You can flag a message by clicking the "Flag Selected Message" in your favorites bar, which should appear just above the screenshot. Once you have at least one flagged message, the "Flagged" row shown above will appear.
I hope this helps.

URGENT: labels and ratings lost from CS3 to CS5

Hi, I have been using Bridge CS3 for categorize my photos and i have instaled CS5 recently (i have the two now).
All the ratings and labels were lost. In jpeg files, in CS3 i can see the rating in the xmp metadata "rating" (in file info, advanced) but not in CS5 (the xmp metadata is there but without "rating"). In CS5 i can rating the photos with problems.
If i export (save) xmp from jpeg in CS3:

The only difference being xmp is being used instead of xap. I have also looked at CS4 and it is the same as CS5, except they are in reversed order but still show correctly.
I wonder what version of Bridge you have for CS5 mine is .. 4.0.4.2
Sorry I can't help.

Apple steals my money - they lost my UPC label and no rebate!!!

I found a very bad attitude of Apple about rebate claims.
I bought MAcBook and Canon printer with perfect companion promotion.
Then, I sent UPC labels from the boxes.
They lost my UPC label (of course, they deny their fault) and then said no label and no rebate!
I cannot believe this.
I have a copy of it, but it is also non-acceptable.
So, just lost claims and save lots of money from customers?
I'm thinking returning all of items from Apple.

I would have to disagree about the photocopies. You cannot send an original rebate request with photocopies it must be the original upcs. However, I sent in a Sony rebate that was somehow lost I contacted the company handling rebates for Sony and they asked me to send in copies of my rebate coupon, upcs, and sales receipts they were accepted as proof and I was issued my rebate. In some cases this can work, but I don't know about Apple in this case. You might want to try again and send a letter explaining your situation and enclose copies of all docs. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

When iCloud syncs it destroys my "custom labels" and puts "main corporate". I've lost names to tel numbers. Help!

When iCloud syncs it destroys my "custom labels" and puts "main corporate". I've lost names to tel numbers. Help!

Alright so OP here. I used Verizon Backup Assistant to get some contacts back (I have a few new ones I haven't gotten yet) and I merged iCloud with them so I have control. I still want to know what caused this though so I know not to do it again, and how to prevent it.

HELP PLEASE! Export Aperture 1 Library and Import to Aperture 3? Or another way to transfer files WITH changes into new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new MacBook pro with Retina display, to better manage Aperture and Photoshop. I took the advice of the genius (and after spending all night messing with permissions, etc.), opted out of using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant and decided to transfer my files manually (as the two systems weren't merging properly the first time -- it was a giant mess). Long story short, I tried to transfer everything from my previous MacBook (operating on 10.5.8 with Aperture 1), and Aperture 3 couldn't handle it. It was crashing, and crashing so badly that NO button could be activated in the program (I FINALLY got Aperture working by disabling previews, and by moving from a managed library to a referenced library).
I initially dragged and dropped all photos from my previous MacBook to my external, and imported. I obviously lost folders, edit history and any other information that I needed to know what edits had been done on the file. Additionally, any movie that had been imported into Aperture was corrupt (the file was not transferring over correctly). I searched and searched for different methods, and finally found that I could export each project from my original MacBook as a "Library" and consolidate masters, or not, etc. I took the time and did this for each project. When I went to import these into Aperture 3, it said I was not able to because the libraries were from a previous version of Aperture.
Is there any way to bypass this? Or another way to transfer my projects? I understand I won't be able to do this for my entire library... but I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer my changes made, projects and details from Aperture 1 to Aperture 3? (and for those who might pose upgrading my original MacBook as an option, I cannot. It's too old. I think the best I could uprade to is Aperture 2, IF i can update the OS. Though, I definitely don't think I should be forced to do that since I've aleady re-invested in a new computer, AND had to re-buy Aperture for the new one.
Any/all advice is VERY much appreciated, as I really want to move forward and FINALLY start appreciating this program and computer (i.e. my investment) and move forward business wise. Thank you!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

My macbook was recently stolen but I purchased it with a credit card. If I showed the credit card to Apple would they be able to find out what my serial number was and flag it? I cannot find my receipt anywhere.

A man broke into my apartment last night and my macbook is missing. I don't have the receipt or the serial number but I purchased it with my visa card. Would someone at the genius bar be able to take my credit card and find out the mac that I purchased and flag it in case the person tries to bring it in?

Some urgent chart issues : Lost labels & erroneous decimal places

Hello everybody,
we have some new and really urgent problems with some charts.
Lost labels
Like you can see in the figure below, our charts sometimes loose some lables on the graphs.There are some different scenarios for the problem.
1) Two neighbouring bars have similar values and similar height. So the labels would overlap. In that cases, the charts loose one of the two labels. (see the yellow markers on the bars in the figure below)
2) A chart´s graph tends to the maximum scale of its surrounding container div. The chart components then often "decide", that they do not have enough space for a label and so do not display these labels (line in figure below).
Is there any possibility to fix these problems? Manipulating the charts via css doesn´t work, because the missing elements are not created at all. So there isn´t any element in the DOM that could be adressed.
Erroneous decimal places
In addition to the problems above, we have another one that causes ugly headaches. The values in some charts have 14 decimal places. Settings in the query (we use BW queries as DataSrc) or in the initial view are completely effectless. First we supposed that the problem correlates with some chart types, but in the meanwhile we get the problem with almost all types.
Is anybody out there with similar problems or any ideas to fix the problem?
Thanks so far & kind regars,
Sebastian

Hi Tammy,
thank you for your very quick response. I´m working with IE 10.0.9200 and Design Studio 1.2 SP1. The Application runs normally on a BOE-Server. but the problems occur even when i run the application locally.
But first of all i will check the thread you recommended.
Thanks for your help!

Folder labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1"

Hi all,
I was just looking at everything that's on the External Hard Drive on which I have my Aperture Vault. There's another folder on that EHD labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1." Noodling through that folder, it seems to be every master that I've deleted, broken down my year, month, and even day.
Is this normal behavior? Can I delete all those sub-folders, etc.? Should I keep the folder itself? Did I somehow set this up initally?
Anyhoo, thank you all for any suggestions.

Yes it is a normal but unreported feature. When you run the vault command the vault created is a snapshot of the current state of the library. If there is a previous vault for this library then images that are in the vault but no longer in the library are moved to the folder you referred to.
If you are certain you do not want any of those images anymore you an delete them.

Exporting Ratings, Labels, and Keywords to DNG/XMP

I am a long-time Lightroom user in search of an efficient iPad rating and labeling solution. I've recently found PixelSync which provides an amazing UI just for that, but syncing to Aperture. So I got that to see if I can export my ratings, labels, and keywords, and also compare Aperture with Lightroom.
Following Peter Krogh's excellent workflow idea. I prefer to sync my metadata edits back to DNG specifically for the purpose of using it as the package tying the RAW iimage and ratings, keywords, etc. Lightroom syncs such data back to DNG upon demand (a menu choice).
Aperture has a menu item to sync IPTC data back to master, and I see a DNG is updated in some way. Yet I don't see the rating, not label, updated, when syncing to Media Pro (or any other EXIF viewer which reads DNG). There are also some presets which have checkboxes next to IPTC fields; selecting Rating and Label as checked in several of them did not lead to them appearing in the DNG though.
I've bought the Lightbox XMP export plugin, but that wants to run in 32-bit mode, and though does its job, you have to select the location for the export. Similarly, exporting master from Aperture, I could do IPTC4XMP, but then again I have to select the location and I don't care about the RAW. Export Metadata menu item again asks for output location and exports in plain text.
While all this seems scriptable, I wonder is there a way to just sync back to DNG?
Cheers,
Alexy

OK -- the problem was with my EXIF viewer, Media Pro. When I checked the DNGs in Adobe Bridge, I see the ratings are in fact exported from Aperture vie the Metadata=>Write IPTC Metadata to Master. Keep in kind that I found all possivle "IPTC presets" dialogues and checked Rating and Label checkboxes in them, so I'm not sure it will work out of the box.
Now there's a great rating workflow with DNG=>Lightroom AND Aperture=>iPad rating=>Aperture=>DNG=>Lightroom.

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.

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.

What file(s) keep Bridge labels and ratings

Using Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464, and have lost some of the labls and ratings I had given images. I was unable to regain them
from .xmp files, or cache files, so had to get them from backed up folders of those images, though all the image files themselves
were still fine. Would be nice to know as these help me keep track of things if I'd ever lose them again. Thank you.

Dear all,
I read this post and hope to clarify the design and ask some questions:
Issue 1:
How to access folder 'user/app data/Roaming/adobe/bridge' that Curt Y mentioned:
Please note on Windows 7 or Vista, the folder 'AppData' is hiden by default, you can either show hiden files, folders and drives out by changing the OS folder options, or you can directly input the path '[CurrentUser]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5/' to enter the folder directly.
Issue 2:
Where the Labels and Ratings are stored.
For all the XMP-supported files (e.g: include almost all the Camera Raw files, Images file, PDF, Illustrator files, InDesign files, video, audio, etc. An easy way in Bridge to know whether a file is XMP-supported file or not is to show out a property named 'Supports XMP' in metadata panel by checking on the item in Bridge Preferences -> Metadata -> File Properties -> Supports XMP), the Labels and Ratings are stored in the files themselves, or the file's sidecar file (for Camera Raw files, usually it is the .xmp file with same name of the raw file)
For all the XMP-unsupported files (e.g: folders, .txt, .doc, .xls, etc...), the Labels and Ratings are stored in the hiden file named .BridgeLabelsAndRatings which located in the same folder with the XMP-unsupported files you labeled/rated.
As I know, the file's labels and Ratings info won't be stored in the folder '[CurrentUser]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5/'.
Issue 3:
Labels and Ratings lost issue
If you copy/move files inside Bridge, either XMP-supported files or XMP-unsupported file shouldn't lost their label/rating info.
If you copy/move files outside Bridge, e.g, to copy or move them in Finder or Explorer:
- XMP-supported files: Camera Raw files which have sidercar file
   will lost label/rating info because Finder/Explorer don't know their sidecar file should be bandled with the camera raw files.
- XMP-supported files: other files which don't have sidercar file
   Shouldn't lost label/rating info because the metadata has been store in the files themselves.
- XMP-unsupported files.
   Will lost label/rating info because Finder/Explorer don't know the label/rating info is stored in the hidden file .BridgeLabelsAndRatings and won't copy/move the file together.
Questions:
Peterimmn mentioned the label/rating lost when he saved a file, .
- What application do you use to save the file?
- What kind of files are you saved?
- Are the files located on local disk?
Thanks,
Melissa

Bug? - Quick Collections and Flags

I have found that "Flags" do no stick in "Quick Collection". The process I am using is;
1. Add a number of photos to the quick collection.
2. Select quick collection then go through photos and flag photos as selected or rejected.
3. Select something else in Library like "All Photographs"
4. Notice that the photos you just flagged are no longer flagged.
I am running Vista 32bit. I have not tried this with other collections.
Are others having this problem with other OS's?
David.

I would like to see global flags, ratings, labels, etc. I use iView MediaPro right now, and this is how it works, and it works well (admittedly for me). Basically, I would use a collection to narrow down my images to review a "subset." However, once I am done and return to "All Photographs" and then filter by flag status, for example, all of my work is gone. Granted, I can return to the collection to see the "local" flag status, but what if I want to see flag status for all images in my database, not just for a small collection of images?
Add my support to this request.
