Message regarding Metadata for this photo has been changed

We recently transferred from PC to Mac. We now get, over each image, an icon that when you hover over it the message says, "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" What should our action be please?

Normally, that message indicates that another program has changed the photo's metadata on disk after it was imported into the LR catalog. But sometimes LR generates that message spuriously, i.e. it's a false alarm. In this case, I think it is likely a false alarm, and you should choose Overwrite Settings. However, before you do so, make sure you have a good backup of your catalog, just in case. See Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog for how to make a manual backup of your catalog when LR exits.

When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing

When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing the metadata and stop it?

Thanks Sean,
I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application...

Often, I am not sure how to answer that one. Usually, I'm not aware of having made any changes explicitly, either in Lightroom, or externally when I get this prompt. Generally what I'm dieing to know when I see this is:
"What is the difference between the metadata Lightroom has for it, and the metadata on disk?"
A feature that could show me what the difference is between the on-disk metadata and the in-catalog metadata would be most appreciated.

Sometimes I know I haven't changed anything in the external file. In this case, the supposed conflict seems to be a bug and I overwrite with Lightroom metadata without exception (but with fingers crossed) - that bug has been reported.
Other times however, I have edited the file in an external editor, and its possible that the external editor wants to add some information that may be worth having, or it may be that its lost the original information - this is when its a dilemma:
If I overwrite disk file with Lightroom metadata, I may be losing what the external editor added.
If I overwrite Lightroom metadata with disk data, I may be losing what Lightroom had and the external editor dropped.
This scenario has not been reported as a bug, since I don't know if it is one. If I could see the difference between the two, then I'd know.

The metadata for this photo has been changed by another application.

getting this message on random photos....in different folders

If file not changed outside Lightroom, just save metadata (from catalog to disk) to extinguish. - prolly a bug..
If Lr still unhappy, then read metadata (from disk to catalog) afterward.
Of course, make sure everything is backed up before doing such stuff.

I am unable to access my email. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up that says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All plug-ins listed are enabled. What am I missing?

I am unable to access my email from Charter.net. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up which says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All of my plug-ins are enabled. What am I missing?

After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

The maximum number of connections per source ('20') for this connector has been reached by this source IP address

Receive connector 'Connector Name' rejected an incoming connection from IP address "IP of our load balancer". The maximum number of connections per source ('20') for this connector has been reached by this source IP address.
I understand that I can up the limit - however, I'm wondering if there is a way to up the limit for ONE specific IP (our load balancer)
TAG

It does not look like you can up the limit for a specific IP but you might be able to create a separate receive connector for that IP address (and then change the limit).
That is just a thought. Others may have more input on why you may or may not want to do that in practice.
What SMTP traffic would not be coming from the load balancer?
Is the objective to *not* allow some other (possibly malicious) source from creating excessive connections to the server?
Otherwise, this is a good discussion about the different parameters that must be considered if you do decide to adjust the values (changing one may not suffice):

Autosave/Versions Issue - 'This file has been changed by another application'

In Keynote and Numbers, I often informed that 'The document xxx could not be saved. The file has been changed by another application.' Clicking 'Revert' simply results in 'xxx could not be reverted.' (The particular box below is actually from TextEdit)
This snapshot is from the informative link: http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/lions-versions-feature/
In the above-mentioned site, the author attributes this to 'changing hosts' and working on documents from different hosts. Indeed, I started the document at home and edited it at another location (where I connected to a different Wi-Fi network). Reading system.log from console, I see my host is actually my wireless network, rather than xxx's-MacBook Pro, as usual. Some examples of the errors (from system.log) are...
Aug 16 16:34:14 wireless-s1-no-xxx-xx-xxx sandboxd[1380] ([29]): revisiond(29) deny file-write-unlink /Users/xxx/Desktop/Presentation.key/1301543_55260978-1.tiff

Error Domain=GSLibraryErrorDomain Code=1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (GSLibraryErrorDomain error 1.)" UserInfo=xxxxxxxx {}
I assume that the link is correct in that setting a new hostname is causing the problem. Unfortunately, I still have no idea how to fix it and I'm uneasy about the reliability of versions/autosave and/or my Time Machine backups.
Any advice, comments, or suggestions that you might have would be appreciated!

Hi Tony,
That's been reported here before, and it's happened to me. Maybe not exactly those words, but something similar, at least. I've always ignored the warning and have had no ill effects to date, that I am aware of. Nor have I ever figured out what the message may have been caused by.

Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

Solution for user limit for this account has been exceeded

I get the above error message on all meetings - even those I host. Cannot close any meeting even tho I am administrator.

I see you are military, are you using DCO? If so, then you should reach out to the DCO support team, Adobe - Defense Connect Online
If not, I would recommend you start by looking at your Meeting Reports to see what meetings are running and how many people are in them. This can be found by going to the following location in Connect Central; Administration > Account > Reports > Meeting Reports. From there you can see all the active meetings and associate it with your meeeting licensing to see where the issue may be.
As to closing meetings, you must be assigned Host rights to the room and, if on the Named Host licensing model, have a member of the Meeting Host group present in the room to be able to have any functionality for Presenters or Hosts. Do you know if your account is using Named Host or Concurrent User licenses?

Trouble with solution for A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that

I tried the solution offered by moving the "Import" folder to the desktop and iPhoto does open now without that pesky message. However, the next step of moving the "Import" folder from the desktop to the trash is troublesome because of the contents. I recently moved 5 years of photos from a backup external hard drive so that I could sync them with Apple TV. All of those photos are in that "Import" folder and I fear having to import them all over again if I move that folder to the Trash.
I would appreciate ideas about safely getting rid of the folder and not losing the photos.
Thanks.

If those photos are in your iPhoto library when you open iPhoto then just more the import(ing) folder to the trash - do not empty the trash and test iPhoto - if everything is still ok empty the trash
