LR3 does not find metadata from XMP sidecars that EM2 does

I use Image Ingestor. When I ingest RAW files and view them in LR3 all the metadata applied using Image Ingester II is visible in LR3. When I ingest my older JPEG files II places the metadata into a XMP sidecar in the same folder with the same name as the file. LR3 seems to ignore these XMP files as it does not show ANY of my metadata except that from the JPEG EXIF from the JPEG file itself.
EM2 reads the XMP files and properly handles the metadata.
Googling turns up quite a few people with this issue.
My understanding is that LR3 is supposed to treat the XMP with precedence over the image file metadata but it does not seem to do this. Is there an option to be set?
This is an example XMP

An update... if I change metadata in EM2 and force it to write it back to the XMP then LR3 can synchronize and suddenly has meta
data for the image.

Importing metadata from XMP sidecar files into Aperture 2.0?

Has anybody found a way to to do this? It appears that the metadata stored in the XMP sidecar files created by Photoshop and Bridge is ignored by Aperture when it imports images. That is pretty much a show stopper when it comes to using Aperture for asset management.

The XMP import capability is limited to metadata/IPTC type info - NOT ACR adjustments and such - those values are specific and make no sense to Aperture. This is true in reverse as well - ACR/Bridge/LR/NX2, etc, etc may pickup IPTC type metadata from XMP or embedded values but NO software will translate adjustment values from another piece of software that are stored ad metadata.

ITunes does not find apps from ipad

Hi,
in my itunes some of the apps are shown with a exclamation mark in a gray circle and when clicking on them I am told that itunes cant find them and asks me to locate them - but they are not in the mobileapps itunes folder.
It seems those are all apps I downloaded with my ipad directly.
I tried to deselect "atomatically sync apps" and reselect it again - no succsess.
Does anyone know how I get those apps get into my itunes?
thanks for your help!
Sebastian

If iTunes has an entry for them then it assumes that they are still there somewhere so won't copy them back off the iPad. Try deleting the entry for them in your iTunes library and then either do File > Transfer Purchases to copy them back from the iPad, or you should be able to re-download them for free from the store (re-downloading)

Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
Ciao.

Adobe premiere Elements does not find my Sony HDR-CX160

When you do use Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder, I think... I don't have a Mac... and you did not say) to copy the files from the camera to your hard drive, do as it says in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1015001?tstart=0 so you don't lose the metadata

AIO remote does not find my printer

I changed Internet providers a few months ago. I have not been able to print from my iPhone or iPad since then. AIO remote does not find my printer at all.

Hi,
Both AirPrint and the HP AIO Remote app relies on Multicasting, a such have to be supported and enabled by your router.
Some routers support a such by default, some require settings changes and some do not support Multicasting which required for a such.
Please clarify your router brand and model to better understand any possible steps to try.

Shlomi

Does not find partition

I have 10.7 Lion and all my apps just stopped working (including finder). I tryed to hit the restart button, but it didnt shut down, so I used the Power Button.
When i started it up again, it goes to Mac OS X Utilities and does not find Macintosh HD. (The partition on my hard drive)
And i really does not want to reinstall it, because I have iOS apps in XCode that im developing.
MacBook Pro 13´ 2010 Model (Dont remember what month)
OS X 10.7 Lion
Crashed after debugging iOS app on my iPhone

It just says that my partition is OK . (And its not, because I cant start up my mac)
But, ill try just wipe out all data and restore it from a Time Machine backup

Bluetooth on iPhone does not find my iPad

I agree.
still...my opinions on Apple.....
If you just try to put yourself in their position you will understand better.
Music Rights, security,every body wants something like this and like that- with all they have to consider and take care to get not sued- it is no wonder thta there are some restrictions.
And why ? because they are the only one to realy care an respond to questions and claims. Ever tried to get help from Sony and other Bigies ? Its like talking to a wall.Their support is just a not specific call center. Or did somebody read recently that Sony Erricson was called before the judge because their Cellphones are failing after third time repair (true story), their batteries are burning, their music devices dont let you transfer the music you bought(MiniDisc) and so on? Seldom right?!
If I read news about Apple, I just wonder how many legal challenges Apple has to face.
Looks like kind of sport in the US, to try to get money out of Apple.
`Oh, my laptop did not work last night so I could not read the email from my love.
I realy became so depressed and my heart aches therefore soooo much . I aske Apple to compensate
for this with ähhh.... 1 million $ ?! `

My iMac does not find my wifi printer or my Chromecast.

My iMac does not find my wifi printer or my Chromecast. I was able to ping the chrome cast and printer and I'm able to connect to these devices with my windows computer, iPhone and iPad. I have OS X 10.9.2. I'm able to print by setting up the printer using the IP address that was assigned by my router instead of letting my iMac do the finding. It seems that the iMac either does not like the info that is receiving or something is blocking the signal (other than the firewall, which is off). Could someone have an idea what the issue might be?

Hi MikeMart0923,
If you are having issues adding or connecting to your WiFi printer from your iMac, you may find the following articles helpful (apologies if you have already seen them):
OS X Mavericks: Set up a printer
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14143
OS X: Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network

Note: This is assuming you have a simple network configuration, with only a single router/WiFi access point.

Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.

When I try to install Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.
I purchased Windows 8.1 Pro, I downloaded the .exe requested file from a Windows computer, performed the steps recommended by Microsoft in order to create the ISO file saving it on a flash drive as well and, as a precaution, on a DVD too.
I performed the "Download the latest Windows Support Software from Apple" step directly into another flash drive and having it completed BootCamp displays the following message:
"The installer disc could not be found – Insert the Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. "
So happens that I have tried this using the DVD, pendrive and also copying the ISO file to the desktop and to the "Documents" folder as recommended in certain websites, but none of this has made the process go ahead. What can I do?
My equipment is a mid 2011 iMac running Mac OSX 10.10.1.

Dear Loner T,
thanks to my coworker, the solution was unpacking from that ISO file which I had recorded (according to the steps indicated by Microsoft), but now using Nero software (Windows) and then recording by the most common way in a new DVD. See the screen of the first DVD before unpacking:
This true saga only demonstrated that the generated ISO file as an option at the time of the Windows installation, is not for direct installation through BootCamp, and as a I could check, even for direct installation on a Windows PC. See the last DVD burned using Nero and again recorded:
The execution of BootCamp, was perfect
Thank you for attention to my problem!

Itunes does not find nano

Have had a shuffle for years, no problems. Just got the 2nd generation nano and Itunes does not find it. It seems to load on windows as a usb device but is not recognized by Itunes so does not appear as a device there...so cannot restore, etc. I have already tried all the fixes on apple's site. Deleted temp files, deleted Itunes completely and reinstalled it. Could not delete the registry files suggested...got an error message. Cannot locate the serial number...none on the nano itself nor on the box. Help says I can find it by going to settings/about. I can't find "setting" on my menu!!! Where is it? My menu only has music, fm, etc, etc and setup. And nothng in setup gives me settings or about.
Please HELP!!

Where did you get this 2nd Generation Nano?
Serial number is in very small type on the back of the Nano towards the bottom below the box that has the size of your Nano. Settings is on the first menu when you turn on your Nano, use the click wheel to highlight it and click the center button. First item will be About, click on it and then move your click wheel and the serial number will be the second item from the bottom.
If you don't have any of this you don't really have a Nano.

Spotlight does NOT find iPhoto keywords

Hi,
maybe you guys can help me.
Spotlight does not find any of my iPhotos attached with keywords.
My System is: Mac OS 10.4.4 and iPhoto 6 (5 did not work either).
This is what I have tried so far:
- repaired permissions more then once
- rebuilt the spotlight database through the terminal
- marked my iPhoto folder as privacy in the spotlight preferences and unmarked it
- removed all keywords (1. try: marked all together; 2. try: marked all together and put them in a new empty list) , closed iPhoto, opened it and gave all an dummy keyword; removed the dummy keyword and assigned one-by-one for some iPhotos new keywords
- archived the iPhoto database and let it built up by iPhoto again
- ran the comboupdater of 10.4.4 again
The last try I am thinking on is a "archive&install" of Tiger but maybe you have another idea???
PS: Whats strange is that when I look at the processes while assigning keywords, the process 'mdimport' starts to work... but again, Spotlight does not find the iPhotos by keywords.

I also had this happen to me several times. Once when I first moved to OS X 10.4 and again when I had to reload my computer. Each time I had archived my iPhoto library to a second drive, installed the OS on a clean formated drive and then copied the iPhoto Library back into my home directory.
From that point, Spotlight would refuse to search for files via keywords. That is, until I updated the photo. By select each photo and changing somthing about the photo, wether editing the photo, changing its star rating to something else and back again, or even adding keywords to the photo, even putting a comment of a blank space in for each photo, doing anything to the photo that would update the xml file would cause that entry to get updated and in turn allow the photo to be searchable by keyword via Spotlight.
There are scripts available that can actually put the iPhoto keywords into the photo file iteself. The one I am using also needs to have GraphicConverter installed. This way I can search either through iPhoto or Adobe Bridge for the Photos that I want to use.

New Retina MacBook Pro does not find WiFi after booting

My Retina MacBook Pro keeps looking for WiFis after it has booted, but does not find any.
I have to explicitly turn WiFi off and on again after booting to get it working.
When I put the MacBook to sleep and wake it, the problem does not occur.
Any hints what could be the problem?

Not sure if this will help, but you can go into System Preferences > Network and, if you haven't already, create a new location (mine is called "home"), then from this location remove all connection methods from the left column except Wi-Fi. Also, click on "Advanced" and remove anything from the Preferred Networks list that you aren't using. Then click on "OK" and "Apply".
