LR3 treats new CF files as duplicates and won't import

lightroom 3 treats all images from a CF card as duplicates and will not import them directly from my card reader. If I save them to the mac and then drag them into LR3 it works. This is a problem that started suddenly, without explanation. I have also unchecked the box for "Don't Import Suspected duplicates" Any thoughts?

Im not sure, this is just a guess, but Id say your ID3 tags are corrupt. I seen something like this in a post before and there was a program mentioned to "Fix" corrupt ID3 tags. I'll search for it if I can
Here it is, its one I posted to, I just forgot, here is the link

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it?

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it? Have done a search for the file extension on PC and two external hard drives. Doesn't show up.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Indesign CS5 file keeps locking and won't save or undo

Hi Adobe forum,
I've recently bought Indesign CS5 and I've already had two problems in two days with the software. I've got a new macbook pro.
The first problem was when exporting a file down to CS4 with the new IDML file format it kept sending it to the background export panel, but it then wouldn't process at all. This was annoying as i couldn't then save or cancel the exporting file. I found a way around this by first exporting a pdf and then exporting the IDML file... it seemed to get it all kickstarted. Please fix this bug Adobe.
The second problem I've got is: I opened an Indesign CS4 file and then saved it as a different file name. I then opened this new file and as soon as i tried to make a few changes it wouldn't let me save or undo or redo anything. This was very odd, and annoying. I checked the file info and nothing was odd and permissions was read and write. Any idea how to get around this? Is there a secret unlock / lock button that I have pressed somehow?
Let me know if anyone can help.
Campbell

Paka222, please start a new thread for your problem. It's not the same as the year-old problem that started this thread. (Maybe someone can lock this one?)
I opened my CS3 files and then successfully saved them several times, but part way through a job, the file froze up and I couldn't undo or save. When I closed the file it asked me if I wanted to save so I said yes, but then it gave me the message that the file could not be saved. In one of the CS5.5 help sections it said to export as IDML file and then reopen the file if you are experiencing problems saving converted files. I did that but it did mess up the file a little (added drop shadows to a bunch of the photos that did not have drop shadows). I'm hoping this will fix the problem, but it isn't a consistent problem so I have to test it. Are you running any type of auto-activation plugins for fonts? I just set up my Fusion 3 font auto-activation plugin for CS5.5 this morning and the problem occurred on the same day. If the IDML fix does not work, I'm thinking it may be the auto-activation plugin since I've read about similar issues before with third party plugins.
You should try exporting your CS3 files to INX and opening that in CS5.5.
If you see a problem when you export to IDML, it most likely means that your file was corrupt from the start. I guess it could also mean you have identified a bugin the IDML export, but I think that is not the likely case.
Given that there are known issues with Suitcase interfering with some background tasks (Preflight), it's not surprising that it might interefere with another (Export).
When you open a new thread, please tell us your OS and version of InDesign as well.

Jpeg files on camera are not recognized by iphoto and won't import

Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS is connected via USB and recognized by iPhoto, however none of these files are importing because the files are unreadable and in an unrecognized format. An example file name and ext that is not importing is "100_2327.JPG".
I do not have a card reader and currently the only way I can get photos from my camera onto my hard drive is using the USB cable.
Thanks in advance for your consideration

Had the same problem after ? upgrade (before everything worked well with my Canon EOS 450) Found out that import worked fine when connecting to my wife's iMac - so, it could not be the camera or formatting og the cameras memory...
Problem was definitively located to connection via USB hub build in to Apple Monitor!!! When connecting to USB connector on keyboard, everything works well - connecting back to Apple Cinema Display (connected to MacBook) is reproducing the same error. I assume that the same may happen with other hubs? But not tested!

I downloaded the album Hullabaloo and the files are protected and won't let me put them on my iPod touch, even though the computer is authorized. How do i unprotect them?

Read the title, that's basically it. It says it can't put the songs on my iPod because the computer isn't authorized, even though it is. The files are "protected" and have been like that since i bought the album. Any help? Thanks:)

De-authorize your computer, then authorize it again.

After data file recovery, files are red and won't open

My HD crashed so I used Data Rescue 3 to recover my files. It worked but now all the files are highlighted red and won't open. The file sizes look right but for instance when I try to open a mov file it says, this is not a movie file. My FCP projects won't open either. Does anybody know what the problem is and what I need to do to get the files usable again?

Data recovery can be hit and miss. Data Rescue is unlikely to be able to recover every single byte from every single file. If so much as a single byte is out of place, QuickTime will be unable to read the file.
I would suggest you give QT Repair a try and if that doesn't work, try File Salvage:

My recovered files are red and won't open

My Toshiba external hard drive broke and a friend used a program on his mac to recover the files. He says it worked but now all the files are highlighted red and won't open. The file sizes look right, but for instance when I try to open a .mov file it says, this is not a movie file. Does anybody know what the problem is and what I need to do to get the files usable again?

Thanks, Courcoul. I did Get Info and changed all the permissions to Read & Write for Me, Fetching, and Everyone. Still doesn't work. But, if I click on the picture of the Lock to Unlock it, I can't do that, because it's a work computer and they don't give me admin privileges. So maybe that's the problem? Though I don't see why. I use to be able to open all the files on my computer.

New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

All files in an album won't import

I recently re-tagged a couple of my albums (Namely my copy of the Final Fantasy X soundtrack) that I had purchased prior to having an iPod. Now, iTunes won't import all the files (They are on the main hard disc, in a folder on my desktop). And with the ones it does, It completely ignores the tagged track numbers (in stead of 1, 2, 3, ... etc.; I get 1,5, 2, 3, 4, 10, 15). All the files in question are in MP3 format. This is incredibly annoying. Is there a solution to this?
Itunes Version: 11.0.2.26
OS: Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1

If the skipping songs are purchased iTMS music, then make sure that you have the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod firmware installed. Then authorize the songs by playing one of them for a few seconds.
If the songs are all imported AAC or MP3 files, then it may be an iPod memory management issue.
Restore Your iPod and reload the music back onto the iPod, from your iTunes.
If the Restore & Reload does not work, see: “Strange iPod Behavior within Windows”

Iphoto doesn't recognize jpg's and won't import pictures

Recently updated from iPhoto 09 to 11 and iPhoto won't import pictures from Kodak camera. Says it doesn't recognize file type "jpg". Imported pic last week from same camera just fine. Also upgraded to OSX 10.6.8– this is when the problem started. I don't want a work around solution, as I know there is a fix for this. Just can't find it.

There isn't a fix. Workaround: use a USB Card Reader.

Had to reset but now files are lost and won't open

I was prompted this morning with wanting/needing to reset Firefox - something I never have never seen before. It was going thru my "old data" and froze. I needed to restart my iMac and in doing so now I can't open Firefox because it says: "Firefox cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have the folder of my "Old Firefox Data" on my desktop. Have I lost everything? How do I get this back?

Hello kuteelagirl
go to ~/Library folder (it is a hidden folder for your 10.8 mac, it is hidden for 10.7 and later mac) from :
Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
'''''or'''''
Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
then find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini file] and rename it to profiles.iniOLD , then when you start firefox again, a new default profile folder will be created and only a single profile, the new "default", will be listed in the Profile Manager.
This new "default" profile doesn't contain any of the profile data or settings stored in your old "default" profile folder, which still exists but is no longer accessible from the Profile Manager.
Your existing Firefox user profile data, which includes bookmarks, passwords, cookies, preference settings and added extensions, will no longer appear in the new profile but you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transfer the data from the old profile folder to the new default profile folder].

Getting error message on import that says can't import jpeg files and won't import

why can't I import from the camera that I always use with my iPhoto? On connecting the camera, error message says "can't import jpeg files." None of my camera settings have changed. Is it a problem of connectivity with old camera and new iPhoto '11?

Not an old camera problem - most likely a memory card format problem - when was the last time you reformated yoru card?
What camera do you have? Does image capture work?

I can no longer get Twitter to work with FireFox. I use 3.6.21. It loads first thing but when I try to refresh to get new tweets it just spins and won't load. If I try a new tab it won't load at all.

I guess the question explains it all. Twitter will not reload all the tab does is spin. It's been spinning since noon ET today with no luck. New tabs don't work either, just says waiting for Twitter. If I close the browser entirely it does work properly for a while but not for long. Can someone help me out?

I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

When trying to download Firefox 3.6, just before finishing I get a message that says the file is corrupted and won't let me knownload

I'm trying to download firefox 3.6 and get a message saying the file is corrupted, or doesn't have authentication. What's up?

Hi,
I think there are some internet problems. If you use a (wireless)-router, maybe a reset will work. You can reset the router by pressing a button on the router itself. Try again downloading firefox.
If this doesn't work, download firefox from another computer and safe it on a USB flash drive.
Kind regards,
Joren
