LR 5.7 update states all 'Metadata was changed externally'

After upgrading to LR 5.7 all raw images have the icon "Metadata was changed externally".
Trouble shooting steps performed:
- copy existing xmp file
- have LR save Metadata, overwriting the XMP files
- compare copy to the overwritten file
They only items that were changed are items that are specific to LR 5.7
Very confusing as to what is a LR 5.7 upgrade issue or an actual metadata change externally.
Examples
Original file:
xmp:MetadataDate="2014-03-14T12:18:58-06:00"
xmpMM:InstanceID="xmp.iid:2641e498-cab1-6e43-a960-822fe8e76b32"
stEvt:instanceID="xmp.iid:2641e498-cab1-6e43-a960-822fe8e76b32"
stEvt:when="2014-03-14T12:18:58-06:00"
stEvt:softwareAgent="Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.3 (Windows)"
After LR update and overwrite of XMP file:
xmp:MetadataDate="2014-12-12T11:44-07:00"
xmpMM:InstanceID="xmp.iid:fb75b9eb-52eb-324a-a6d7-409c67d4f4bc"
stEvt:instanceID="xmp.iid:fb75b9eb-52eb-324a-a6d7-409c67d4f4bc"

Hi Kevin,
This is a user-to-user forum. Consider filing a bug report to Adobe here (search for existing bug report first):
Recently active topics in Photoshop Family about Photoshop Lightroom
To be clear: my proposed work-around solution assumed that saving metadata did NOT fix the problem, but that reading metadata after saving might. - such is a problem I am familiar with.
PS - Unless this is a new problem with which I am unfamiliar, you probably won't have to go through the work-around "solution" after every new dot version.
PPS - Saving metadata, and re-reading it, all photographs in catalog, should not take more than a few minutes - if it does, then something is wrong.

Metadata was changed externally (in Photoshop)

I am working with mostly DNG (converted from RAW) files in Lightroom, and I frequently go from within Lightroom into Photoshop to make further adjustments, resulting in a PSD file. Within Lightroom these PSD file thumbnails always have an explanation point saying that metadata was changed externally. I am not changing any keywords or similar metadata in Photoshop, so I'm not sure what is being changed.
My option is to "import settings from disk" or "overwrite settings", and I choose "overwrite settings", but I'm not sure what's going on here.
Does anyone know what this is about?
I DO use keywords and other metadata extensively in Lightroom (and export to files), since I think that's the best way to organize photos so they can be found in many different software programs.
Thanks,
Jim Fesler

Espart, checking your statement I see that it is correct. I personally don't feel a need to see that Photoshop CS has created the file (I know PSD's cannot be created directly in Lightroom anyway)so I'll continue to overwrite metadata from Lightroom to the file. Typically I create keywords, creator and address, and other metadata in Lightroom, so that's what I want to have exported to the original files.
Thanks

Apple ID account was hacked; all details was changed.

I received an email from Apple stating my recent purchases.
"Your Apple ID was just used to purchase Fat Face Booth from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID."
Now, I didn't purchase ANYTHING.
So like any normal circumstances, I'd change my password and all is good.
BUT I WAS WRONG.
This email was sent Monday, and I read it Wednesday. When I got to the reset password page, my password was already well.. not my password. so I couldn't proceed. I thought maybe I just forgot about it and so I chose the first option... I'll just ask them to send me an e-mail to retrieve my password. I waited and no e-mail was sent. Huh. That's weird. So I chose the second option, retrieve password through details. The first question was when was my birthday. I put it in and the results were... my birthday was INCORRECT. Now, I clicked the previous button in the hopes of trying the first option and the email was just delayed but it NEVER CAME. I couldn't possibly forget my birthday. That's absurd. And the fact that no email was sent to me means my email address is no longer in use.
How can I reset my password, when it has already been changed?
How can I retrieve my password when my e-mail and details, such as birthday, have been changed as well?
Now, I'm not worried much since I didn't place my credit card details and I chose "none" as my billing option but my billing address is still there. I want to delete my account but I've read that it's not possible.
What do I do? I want to cancel that account.

MIRO, automatic update Amount when quantity was changed

Deal all,
How to make automatic update in line item MIRO, when i change the Quantity then the Amount must update by automaticly, in current system i always change by manualy
thanks
imron

Dear Krishna
I know that the price may change and hence the amount field is kept open for changes, but i want the amount can update automaticlly when i change qty because when we create invoice (MIRO) the quantity not always same with total PO qty (partial invoice), maybe you can look this my illustration :
1 . PO number = 4500000001
     Qty            = 5
     Price         = 10
     Net Price   = 50
2. GR number = 5000000001
     Qty       = 2
     Amount in local currency = 20
3. GR number = 5000000002
     Qty       = 3
     Amount in local currency = 30
4. create Invoice (MIRO)
      Qty =5 -->this default by system, (now we want to change to 2, for invoicing PO number one)
      Amount = 50 --> this default by system (we want this amount automatclly to become 20)
5. create second invoice

Update statement will not commit changes

I'm having a problem in Forms 4.5. I have a stored procedure that updates a table. I can call the stored procedure from a trigger within a form and it will work perfectly. However, when I copy the code from the stored procedure into a program unit, and call that program unit instead of the stored procedure, it doesn't work. It executes without generating any error messages, but the database remains unchanged. If anyone has seen this before, please help.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

In my form I have a block with a button. Within the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of that button I have the following code that calls a stored procedure:
UPDATE_RECORDS(code, date, ord_id);
This is the code for the stored procedure:
PROCEDURE UPDATE_RECORDS (
in_code IN NUMBER(6)
,in_date IN DATE
,in_ord_id IN NUMBER(6)) IS
BEGIN
UPDATE
count_records
SET
ord_id = in_ord_id
WHERE
id IN (
SELECT
cr.id
FROM
count_records cr
,orders ord
,items itm
,work_locs wl
WHERE
wl.code = in_code
AND itm.wl_id = wl.id
AND ord.itm_id = itm.id
AND cr.ord_id = ord.id
AND cr.starting_time >= in_date
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Update of records has failed.');
END UPDATE_RECORDS;
When I click on the button the trigger fires and the stored procedure executes. I can then query the database to confirm that the changes have taken place in the count_records table.
However, I've taken the code in the stored procedure and placed it in a Program Unit. I've changed the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger to call the program unit:
UPDATE_RECORDS_WITHIN_FORM(code, date, ord_id);
This is the code for the Program Unit:
PROCEDURE UPDATE_RECORDS_WITHIN_FORM (
in_code IN NUMBER(6)
,in_date IN DATE
,in_ord_id IN NUMBER(6)) IS
BEGIN
UPDATE
count_records
SET
ord_id = in_ord_id
WHERE
id IN (
SELECT
cr.id
FROM
count_records cr
,orders ord
,items itm
,work_locs wl
WHERE
wl.code = in_code
AND itm.wl_id = wl.id
AND ord.itm_id = itm.id
AND cr.ord_id = ord.id
AND cr.starting_time >= in_date
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
MESSAGE('Update of records has failed.', ACKNOWLEDGE);SYNCHRONIZE;
END UPDATE_RECORDS_WITHIN_FORM;
When I click on the button the trigger fires and the program unit executes. The error message never appears, but when I query the database, there are no changes to the count_records table.
This seems really strange and I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Steve

Metadata: Filter By Update State

If your file has been modified externaly or by another LR catalog, you will notice that LR recognize them and let you choose these option :
Metadata File Needs To Be Updated
Metadata Was Changed Externally
Error Saving Metadata
If you have a lot of pictures, this is not simple to find only the modified files. You can select all files and click the update button, but then the entire pictures will be scanned and somehow rewritten (jpg, xmp, ...), this process is too unfriendly.
Filtering the picture by the state of the metadata would be really simple and fine when working with more than one catalog, computer or software.

Flash,
This is a much needed feature that I some time ago sent in a feature request. A new feature request might be in order - you can file one at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform if you would like.

Topink 9.0.4 not generating an update statement, if the object was changed.

I have 2 tables T_Objects and T_Categories.
T_Objects stores images as a BLOB field. T_Categories stores the details of an article category and references the pictogram in T_Objects via a FK.
I have 2 webpages. One which is used to load the pictogram in T_Objects and the other which is used to maintain details of the category in T_Categories. As soon as the image is uploaded and is displayed on the screen, user fills in the category details and saves them.
Each of these operations is performed in a seperate HTTP Request (and consequently seperate UOW). The idea is that the user first uploads an image, checks the image on the screen and the decides to associate it with a category.
The database is Oracle 9i. Driver used is OCI 8. Binary Steam Binding is enabled for BLOB fields. DatabasePlatform is Oracle9Platform.
The descriptors of both the tables use SoftCacheWeakIdentity and the cache size is 100. Both tables use Optimistic Locking based on a version field using TimestampLockingPolicy.
Coming to the problem, if the delay between the upload of the image and saving of the category details is large (say 20 seconds or so) Toplink generates a Update query to update the details in T_Categories. If the delay is smaller than that then Toplink fails to generate an update query even if the object was changed. Upon debugging I find that just before the commit, the BO being committed has all the correct details including the new PK of the uploaded image.
Assuming that the BO pointing to T_Objects may not be in Cache (owing to images of size 200+ KB) I did an explicit read of this object before attempting to save details to T_Categories. Even that does not seem to help.
Any ideas on what is happening here?

Chris. Thanks for your reply. I did not get your point. However these are the steps being done.
Can you please go through the code and check what could be wrong?
Steps
1) createContent(VmTObjectsVO vo) is called to insert into VM_T_OBJECTS.
This internally calls create ( Object obj, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges )
2) update( VmSubcategoriesVO vo ) is called to update a sub-category details to VM_T_SUBCATEGORIES.
This internally calls save( Object bo, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges )
In the save method at the time of uow.commitAndResume() no update statement is getting generated.
These core methods are used for almost all tables in the application and all of them work.
It is only in this use case I have a problem.
* Creates a new entry for storing the image/document in VM_T_OBJECTS.
* @param vo the content to be stored.
* @return the sequence assigned to this object.

VmTObjectsBO bo = new VmTObjectsBO();
/* copy the properties from the VO to the BO. */
ObjectAssembler.vo2bo((BaseVO)vo, bo);
/* Create the content */
lnContentId = create(bo);
return lnContentId;
* updates a subcategory to VM_T_SUBCATEGORIES
* @param vo VmSubcategoriesVO to update.
* @ return updated VmSubcategoriesVO
public VmSubcategoriesVO update( VmSubcategoriesVO vo ) {
VmSubcategoriesBO boSaved = null;
VmSubcategoriesVO voSaved = null;
VmSubcategoriesBO bo = new VmSubcategoriesBO( );
/* Copy the properties in the VO to the BO */
ObjectAssembler.vo2bo( vo, bo );
/* Save the changed object */
save( bo );
return voSaved;
* Stores the new object in the database and
* returns the primary key identifier with which it was created.
* @param obj The object to be created.
* @param uow Use this unit of work for performing the insert.
* @param commitChanges Should commit changes upon insertion?
* If the client wants to perform the commit operation across several others
* operations, then the value should be set to false.
* @return Primary key of the object created.
public Long create ( Object obj, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges ) {
Object cacheObj = null;
Long lnSequenceAssigned = null;
if ( obj == null ) {
throw new ObjectNotFoundException( null, null, null, null );

uow.assignSequenceNumber( obj );
/* Get the descriptor associated with this object */
Descriptor descriptor = uow.getDescriptor(obj);

/* Register the object */
uow.registerObject( obj );
if(commitChanges){

uow.commitAndResume();

Before I updated to ios5 there was a "number" on the task bar next to bookmarks showing all the windows I like to keep open. Now I can't find the setting to go back to that feature. Help!! I just want to be able to click on the number to get to my windows

Before I updated to ios5 there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!

I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.

I bought new music on itunes for th first ime in years and the updates erased all my music from my ipod and none of the new music that I bought was downloaded...a bunch of stuff I never heard of is now on my ipod. How do I reload my library?

I went to itunes for the 1st time in years and bought music. The updates removed all the songs on my ipod and did not downlaod my purchases. Instead I have a bunch of songs I never heard of. How do I reload my library on my ipod and get rid of the terrible junk that is on there now?

Was this a different computer/iTunes library than what it you had originally sync the iPod with? If so, that would explain why all of your content that WAS on your iPod was erased, since an iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.
As for your current predicament, you'll need to figure out how your iPod is configured to sync music and then adjust it so that the stuff you don't want on it is removed during the next sync operation and the music you DO want on it will be transferred over to it from iTunes.

How do I change my iTunes library from albums listing alphabetically back to artist listing alphabetically. Before the last update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist, now it all is listed by album name. I can't find a way to return it to artist

Before the latest update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist. All albums by the same artist were listed together. Now they are all separated by the name of the album instead of the artist. How do I return to the other format?

Are you viewing it in Artist view or Album view? In Album view, it should still list albums by artist name, then album name. If you're in Album view, you might be looking for Artist view.

Hello WGT52,
It sounds like this error message is preventing you from syncing your content to the iPod. I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

My current iPhoto'11 version is the 9.2.1 one. I just attempted to install the 9.2.3 update, but all I got was an Alert sign stating that "iPhoto 9.1.0 or later is required to install this update." Same thing happened with the 9.1.0 update afterwards.

Put iPhoto back into the Applications folder, not in any subfolders, and ensure it's named iPhoto or iPhoto.app.
