Maintaining keywords in PC to Mac conversion

I recently converted from PC to Mac; downloaded and installed LR4, and it quickly recognized my photos and photo folder structure.  Also, apparently each individual keyword has been imported.  However, 3 problems:
1. no photos have keywords assigned to them
2. the keyword nested structure (keywords within other keywords) did not transfer, so they are all listed alphbetically
3. I don't see any history on the edited photos, so am not sure if I have originals (unedited) or edited.  If I have edited photos, can I go back and re-edit (non-destructive editing in LR)?

Did you transfer your catalog machine-to-machine or did you just reimport on the new machine? The former does what you want the latter would give you what you got...
Search your PC for the active and most recent LRCAT file and copy it to your Mac and open it. Depending upon where you store your images, you may have to repoint a few folders.

  • Is there a tagging/keyword mechanism in Mail (Mac)?

    Is there a tagging/keyword mechanism in Mail (Mac)?  Right now, I am just meticulous about my organization structure with my current 'mailboxes' and 'smart mailboxes'.  In addition, I will sometimes export messages to finder and utilize it's more sophisticated file structure and keywords (soon to come tabs) to keep all my necessary items in order. 
    Just wonderin' if I have missed something in Mail as it is.  I love the program, but I just need a little more.
    Thanks in advance. 

    Are you using Tiger Server? Are the other mail systems using LDAP? If so, see here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=serveradmin/10.4/en/c7od21.html

  • How to maintain keywords for a original files in DMS?

    Hi,
    How to maintain a Keywords for all original files which are already available in content server? I have done the following steps for full-text search(content search) with in originals.
    1.Configured RFC from TREX to R/3
    2.Created SSR with VERITY search engine
    3.Configured MIME types in DMS
    4.Indexing has been done
    5.We ran RSTIRIDX program as a background job.
    After doing above all for activating full text search in CV04N,  The text box search text is enabled, how ever when we try to search for a text in original we are getting the message:"No documents found with these selected parameters".
    Awaiting for your valuable response.
    Thanks
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    could you please test the search behavior also in transaction SKPR07 because this transaction offers different tools for testing and analysing the TREX search. The class for DMS is DMS_PCD1.

  • Mac Conversion for CS5 Nightmare

    After seeing the FCP Supermeet at NAB this year I decided to make the switch to CS5.5
    I took the following Mac and made these changes to upgrade the Mac in prep for CS5.5:
    Intel Mac 3,1 Quad Core 2008
    3Ghz
    Up'ed the Ram to 32Gb DDR2
    Clean Install (Erase/Reformat) 320Gb 7200RPM Operating System Drive and installed 64 bit Snow Leopard
    Installed updates to make Snow Leopard 10.6.7 version
    Installed base driver for new Quadro 4000 for the Mac graphics card (because of Apple partial support you have to use an older graphics card to install this driver BEFORE you install the Quadro 4000 physically)
    Physically installed the Quadro 4000
    Installed the Cuda driver
    Updated the Cuda driver to current driver using the Cuda Panel interface
    Installed CS5.5 from DVD disc set
    Have separate 750Gb 7200RPM media drives
    Have an external 600mbps read/write dual channed 0 Raid array for media as well
    NIGHTMARE!
    Can barely play 1 track of h.264 video/audio on an HDSLR timeline preset
    Can barely play 1 track fo video/audio on XDCAM EX 720p 24fps that comes with Adobe CS5 Classroom in a Book
    Playback stutters and drops frames, audio glitches even when Playback Resolution is dropped down to 1/2 and 1/4 resolution
    I have used both the Playback with Mercury and GPU acceleration and Mercury Engine Software only - same resulting stuttering playback
    Watching graphical CPU usage  when playing back single track and there seems to be plenty of headroom
    Media is stored on drive and raid separate from operating system drive. Scratch drive is on drive separate from Op Sys drive
    The only out of spec component with this Mac is I am missing "Core Audio sound card"
    But I have seen all sorts of Mac laptops running multiple tracks of HD with all kinds of effects applied and they played/scrubbed through the composition like butter.
    Any idea - this MacPro tower with 32Gb and Quadro 4000 cuda card should tear it up with CS5.5

    All our other edit bays are still at 32bit Leopard and are on jobs.
    We pulled this one and did the noted conversion that we are having the problems with.
    I guess your testing is both good news - the 3,1 model CAN be converted over and do a decent job.
    I assume your co-worker's 3,1 had a Quadro 4000 for the Mac graphics card?
    No choppy dropped frames at 1/2 or 1/4 playback resolution?
    Bad news is the only idea I have left is start all over again and see if that changes it.
    One new item to note, this morning on boot-up, when opening the "About this Mac" panel, the internal bong sound starts going off repeatedly (as if you are holding down a keyboard key continuously. And the scroll bars could not be used - when you drag one down and let go, they pop back up to the top. The only way to stop this all was to re-boot.
    Yesterday I re-installed FCP and that gave me back the codec for nanoFlash XDCAMHD 422 files (and probably a lot of other missing codecs).
    I then opened up a matching sequence in Premiere CS5.5 and was able to import one of these files now - so your advice on the missing codec helped here.
    But when I placed this file on the timeline - video only - no audio, it stuttered and dropped frames no matter what resolution used for playback,
    Then, here is the most telling thing, I rendered the "entire workspace" (1 clip of video only - 20 secs in length) it took 2mins/52 seconds with all 8 cores maxing out to render it.
    I then got the green line above the video in the timeline - AND STILL THE VIDEO PLAYED BACK STUTTERING AND DROPPING FRAMES EVEN THOUGH RENDERED!!
    That seems to indicate I either have something wrong with the video card or it's drivers? And maybe this morning's boot up demonstrates that as well?
    What do you folks think?
    Thank you so much Todd for making the extra effort to help with my problem.
    So anyone following this issue, it appears to not be a CS5.5 issue - but an issue with my individual machine - or graphics card or driver. Would be interested to know what graphics card and drivers you folks were using for this test.

  • Q: If you never initiate iBooks for Mac conversion...

    can you keep using (latest) iTunes under Mavericks to manage your ebook/pdf collections?
    Reason I am asking is that I have also experienced the problems with new, standalone iBooks described here and elesewhere. I have since reverted back to Mountain Lion, but eventually I would like to use Mavericks until Apple fixes the iBooks for Mac. Never initiating iBooks conversion seems like the cleanest solution (if it works).
    Thanks!

    Like you, I reverted back to Mountain Lion until a workaround was found.  It sounds like someone has done it now:
    Re: Not impressed! No edit info, no library management!
    I think this might work, but I'd be interested in hearing whether the simple step of stopping and deleting the bookstoreagent will work as a preventative measure.
    Anyone willing to give it a try and share their experiences here?

  • Windows to Mac conversion of an IPOD

    Can you convert a MS-Dos Ipod to Mac?

    There is no such thing as windows formatted ipods anymore. All ipods are now HFS+; the ipod software in windows does a conversion for reading/writing to the HFS+ ipod.
    For the older ipods, I think you can format them mac or windows. Use the ipod update software to do so.

  • Where is "adobe bridge keywords.xml" located on mac (using CS5)?

    I just installed Photoshop to work from home, and I'm trying to set up my (rather extensive) keywords list. Other discussions have identified the place for this file as '~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS5' but that directory does not exist for me - the Adobe directory is missing. There is a 'Bridge CS5.1 Extensions' directory, but there is no place within it for this file.
    Does anyone know where I should put this file?
    Thanks!

    '~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS5' but that directory does not exist for me - the Adobe directory is missing. There is a 'Bridge CS5.1 Extensions' directory, but there is no place within it for this file.
    You are looking in the wrong library, that file is in the system library at root lever. You have to look in your user account library (the ~ means your 'user name').
    Some other observations, You say you have CS5 but Bridge CS5.1 Extensions points to CS5.5. Not a big deal but that means you should also have a Bridge CS5.1 folder in the App support at user level.
    (It is a bit of a mix up with all different versions of apps in the CS suite. PS is at number 12 and comes with CS5. Bridge is at version 4 in CS5. They made an update for the whole Adobe suite and called it CS5.5. Inhere PS 12.1 and Bridge 4.1. The call some parts CS5.1. Hope you still with me here... :-0 )
    And I suspect that you are already on OSX 10.7 Lion and that means by default your user library is hidden. To show it can be done in multiple ways, fastest way is to google on user library and OSX lion

  • Links in PDF don't work on Mac conversion?

    I am working with Word 2011 on a Mac.
    My document has linked TOC and many internal links and cross references.
    When I convert to PDF, NONE of the work, whether I use "Save As PDF," Distiller, or Acrobat XI Pro...
    Is this a known limitation?
    Is there ANY workaround?
    Or is Windows my only option to make the links in my PDF work the same as in my Word document?

    If you use the MS add on for saving to PDF you might get the links. I use a PC, but as I understand it the PDF Maker that adds the links does not work on the MAC and never has. One MAC user (Phillip Jones) typically drops by and provides some insight into methods for getting the links, but I don't remember the solution (probably because I did not totally understand the solution as a PC user).

  • PC to Mac conversion problem on (older) ipod

    My ipod was set up with a pc (about 1 1/2 years ago). Now that I'm running the latest OS on my ibook G-4, I want to erase it and reformat in mac. I also just bought a new nano. I plugged it into my ibook and everything works great. When I use the same cable to connect my older ipod (still running pc), I have the following problems:
    The computer doesn't seem to "see" the old ipod.
    I get a "do not disconnect message" on the old ipod. The battery doesn't charge with the cable (even though that same cable charges the new nano).
    In fact, the battery on the Ipod seems to get depleted. I don't know if there is a cable compatibility issue, a port issue, the PC vs Mac issue, or all 3. I have a whole new audio library on my computer, so I'd be happy to dump the stuff on the Ipod, but how?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    solved with help on another forum. OIder ipod requires older cable as well. Thanks all

  • PC to Mac conversion

    I changed from a PC to a Mac and the only songs that moved over into itunes are those that I copied from a CD. All of the songs that I purchased are not available now on my Ipod. Is the iPod video only going to work with the original PC to get those songs?

    To authorize the songs just play them for a few seconds (in iTunes). iTunes should ask for your iTunes account information. Type that in an listen to a few songs for a few songs each. Now sync your songs.

  • PC to Mac conversion problem

    Trying to help out a PC-to-Mac convert here. He has been using his iPhone with iTunes on a PC, which has since gone belly up. He just got a brand spanking new MacBook Pro! The problem happened when he hooked up his iPhone to his new laptop and the first thing that happened was his contacts on his iPhone were deleted. He does not want the same thing to happen to the rest of the contents on his iPhone. Any advice that I give this Mac newby?

    Yes. He should use the backup from his PC to move the iTunes library to his Mac. That should contain all of the music, videos and apps he had previously been syncing to his PC.
    This article may be helpful. http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html
    If he did not make a backup of his PC and the drive from the original PC is unreadable, he may have a bit of a problem.

  • Maintain keyword when export photo to memory stick

    When you assign a keyword to an image, is there a way to export the image such that the keyword (e.g. 'family') remains associated with it?
    In other words, the ideal would be that you could export to a memory stick and the keyword would "stick" to that picture so that you could take it to another computer and use iphoto (or some other program) to identify that picture by keyword rather than filename.

    Terence,
    Bad news. I went ahead and skipped 07 and upgraded to iPhoto8. It appears that either your advice was incorrect or this feature was broken in 08. Adding keywords within iPhoto08 does not actually change the EXIF metadata.
    I added keywords within iPhoto08 and exported the image to the desktop. I then used MacMetaShow and found that the exif data was not modified. I did some Googling and found a few complaints that this is still a problem. I suppose it is possible that MacMetaShow is not reading the data correctly so I will try to find a different program to verify this.
    Can anybody else corroborate this problem?

  • What version of Firefox should I maintain if I am using mac version 10.4.11 ( Power PC)?

    I am asked to update Firefox, that the version I am currently using won't be supported for much longer. How can I upgrade, if my operating system is incompatible? All the updates are for Mac version 10.5 or higher (Intel), I have Mac version 10.4.11 ( Power PC).

    So basically, if my computer gets infected, it's my fault because i don't want to spend money I don't have, on a new computer, and Firefox decided that those that have Power PC computers (I bought the computer 1 year before the new chip computers were available), should buy a new computer.

  • Quicken: PC to Mac conversion

    It seems from many of the threads that the Mac version of Quicken is nothing like the PC version and that importing PC Quicken data into Mac version is problematic.
    Looking for feedback on which scenario is preferable:
    1. Continue to run Quicken on PC through 12/31 then switch to a Mac friendly product;
    2. Purchase Quicken for Mac and import pre existing data.
    All ideas welcome and thank you.

    You are asking this in a forum about iWork Numbers so you may not get many responses.
