Missing (most, but not all) masters from managed project

I just found that I have a one project in my library where most of the raw master files (NEF) are missing. The project contains 160 photos, but only 14 masters are present and these are randomly distributed in the project (not sequential files). My entire library is managed (not referenced). All photos were imported at one time.
All the edited versions appear in the browser with no problem, including the "full" version and the Quick Preview ("P"). Oddly, when I press "M" to view the master image, it displays correctly with no adjustments, but the message "Master Image not Found" appears where it would normally say "Master Image." I only noticed the masters were missing when I tried to export a version and got the follwing message:
"Versions with unavailable master files cannot be exported. The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."
I searched in the library and vaults for original the filenames, but they do not exist in either location. If all the masters were missing, I would have concluded that I imported that project as a referenced file and later deleted the masters, but 14 of the 160 are still there.
I have two questions:
First, does anyone have any idea how the master files could be deleted so I can avoid this in the future? I am beginning to think this is simply a corruption of the database (not reassuring).
Second, is there any way to recover the versions that clearly exist in the project so I can reimport these as masters? While viewing them in the browser, I can zoom in to the original resolution on both the master and the edited version, but can't perform any further edits to the image (although I can add metadata). I'd be happy to retrieve a JPEG version, even though it appears I have lost the original raw file.
By the way, I have already performed all three library repair options on Aperture launch (Repair Permissions, Repair Database and Rebuild Database).
Thanks for any help,
Dave

From the OP's other thread:
I have three vaults (on three HDs) backing up one Aperture library (two onsite and one for offsite backup). Two of the vaults simultaneously became corrupted and I could no longer back up to them.
That plus the live library seems like 3 to me.
You wrote:
With managed-Masters one can back up a broken Library to a dozen perfect drives and all that results is a dozen identically broken Libraries.
Which is why backing up without verify the backup is a meaningless exercise. This goes for any backup method, How do you know your TM or CCC backup or simple copy of your masters is good?
If the Masters are backed up prior to Aperture the problem resolves (versions still lost).
And this is true also for managed libraries.
If (backed up) Referenced Masters are used and the Library becomes corrupt the problem resolves (versions still lost).
Not sure what you are trying to say here.
Proper use of Vaults also save Versions, but only prior to the time that the Library became corrupted - and we do not necessarily know the instant a Library becomes corrupt.
Proper use of vaults also saves masters if the library is managed. Ans see above for why we verify backups.
Look I agree that the masters need to be backed up in other than the vault (or TM or CCC or any one place). I use the Aperture backup dialog in the input window:
But once the masteres are backed-up referenced masters has no inherent saftey advantage over managed masters. In fact if all you do is backup before import and then place the masters on their own disk they are slightly less secure as they are only in two places.
In my operation I have my masters in three places, the import backup location the library and the vault I create from that library. In fact I have multiple vaults so in fact I have my masters in a minimum of 5 places. And its all fairly transparent.
So continue to sing the praise of referenced masters, for some and in some situations they are the way to go But from a security standpoint they have no advantage over managed masters.

Outlook and Treo 700 wx are missing most, but not all, of my calendar entries

I am running Windows XP and Outlook 2003 (SP3). I have a Treo 700 wx with service from Verizon. I normally sync via USB using ActiveSync. A few days ago I noticed that most, but not all of my calendar entries were missing. I am missing 99% of my future appointments, which of course is my big concern. I am not missing too many historical appointments (at least starting 1 month ago). I have synced the same way for years without a problem. I did try to set up Wireless Sync via Verison about a week ago. I called Verizon support to see if I somehow screwed up my calendar in the process of trying to set up Wireless Sync, and they said I never succeeded in setting it up (which I suspected), so they don't think that was the problem. Do you have any idea what I could have done wrong and how I get my future appointments back?

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.

The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

Officejet 6500A Plus Suddenly only prints red for most but not all occasions.

In the middle of printing a report it switched to RED ink. I bought and replaced black cartridge... though it still had ink. (NO SUCCESS) It prints BLACK for copies, for documents on Pages (I Mac) and from wife's laptop that is connected. SOMETIMES IT PRINTS BLACK when I click on PDF and Print.... but not all the time. It ALWAYS PRINTS RED when I print an e mail. No TROUBLESHOOTING suggestions seem to fit this irregular problem

PDF's are typically send to the printer as graphics, which may cause them to be printed with the color cartridge rather than black. If your cyan cartridge is low (or not working) the print will appear red. To address cyan not printing properly the document here may help.
Depending on your OS you may be able to set the printer to print in Grayscale and Black ink only.

Fix *most but not all* issues with Time Capsule, Time Machine and 10.5.3

There are so many posts related to this issue, that I just wanted to create one short post with a how to fix / quick tips that seems to work for most but granted not all
Issues: Cannot backup, gets stuck into preparing phase or backup volume seems to be corrupted or not working. User was able to use TM with TC w/o problems before update to 10.5.3
1) Turn off TM
2) reboot TC (unplug and plug back in or do it via Airport Utility)
3) Disable energy saving and screen saving features (* see remark at the end)
4) reboot iMac, Macbook or whatever you are using
5) go to finder, unmount the backup volume
6) force a manual backup in TM
7) it will take up to 30 minutes preparing backup and then it should work
(*) I found that if the Mac enters into sleep mode or a password protected screensaver sometimes the backup gets interrupted and one get an error message. This seems like a bug and I reported it to Apple.

Hi! I've had the same problem and in my case I even couldn't access the Time Machine with the Airport Utility though I was properly connected with the network. Now it seems to work, and here's what I did:
- I did a hard reset of TC by pressing the reset button for 5 sec. until the light starts flashing
- I set up the whole network/airport/tc preferences again (what you always have to do after hard reset)
- I manually startet a backup.
When I manually started the back up for the first time, the TM preferences said "Preparing" and then stopped without backing up anything.
I restarted the backup again (manually) and finally it worked like described in this post: "Preparing" for roughly half an hour.
In this time, Time Capsule/Machine finds out, what files needed to be backed up. After that Preparation period, time machine started backing up as usual.
All you have to do is hard resetting and setting up the Time Capsule from new. You DO NOT have to delete the hard drive!!!

HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account. First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point). The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working. However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear. Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that? Or any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts. (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.) Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup. If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

Most but not all iCalendar History has Gone

iPhone 5 (iOS6) has about 10 calenders on it.
Various Macs subscribe to all or 1 or 2 of these claendars = OK (Even those on different accounts.)
iPhone 4S (iOS7) subscribes to all of these, but as of a few days ago, suddenly almost all events before Apr 7, 2104 have disappeared.
Strangely 8 events back to Mar 29, 2013 survive (they are from 3 different shared calenders). There should be several events per day back to Oct 1, 2012.
As far as we can tell all events after Apr 7, 2014 and those in the future survive.
The iPhone4S does not have licence to edit the events that it views.
I have tried plugging it into a Mac, going to iTunes and synchronising - no change.
I am reluctant to Restore as (I assume) many other things will be rest.
Thanks in advance for help. Nic

You are correct. Ideally, it should not have happened but these things sometimes happen. As with any OS update, it is always recommended you backup before updating. Things can go wrong and others have experienced more severe issues after updating.
MISSING DOTS
I have just realised that even though there are events on a day and they can be seen, the dots do not appear under the days in calender view before 25/2/13 (on the iPhone5) but they do on the iPhone4S.
It most likely has not refreshed to show your changes yet. Quit the Calendar app (Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up) then relaunch it.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 plus has dual sided printing. It is attached wirelessly thru my airport express. I can find no way to print dual sided using most but not all of my applications. When I go to system pref..printers..and check out any of the options

Previous suggestions said after sys prfs..Printers..I should either open the print queues then go to printer setup then chose driver, or go to options & supplies and then do settings, or in some way click the driver and pick the settings. None of the above provides the answer. I am using os x 10.8.

Make sure the printer driver you're using is the correct one. In System Preferences, Print/Scan, select your printer, and see what it says under "Kind" on the right-hand side. If it's anything other than the exact model of your printer (if it just says Airprint, or Generic something), you need to delete the printer and add it back in using the correct driver. You may have to download the official driver from HP, but it should work automatically.
Other than that, I'm not sure what else to try. The two-sided option should be in the basic printer page for most printers, as far as I know, but you may have to click the "Show Details" button on a print dialog to see it.

ITunes does not recognise most (but not all) of my iOS devices

Hi,
Recently I have discovered I'm unable to sync a number of my devices to iTunes on my PC.
These include:
a first generation iPad
an iPhone 4S (my wife's)
an ipod touch (generation unknown, 64GB, quite old).
I *can* sync my iphone though (also a 4S).
All the above devices used to sync fine, although they probably haven't been synced for a number of weeks.
I'm running Windows 7.
I've tried:
* Updating the software. iTunes and the device OSs were up-to-date.
* Updating USB driver software
* 3 different connection cables
* Different USB ports. Some are connected straight to the motherboard, others on the front of the PC via a more circuitous route. None are via an external hub
* All devices are suitably charged
* Disabling any software that might cause conflict - so most things in the Startup and Services section of the System Configuration/ms config
* rebooting multiple times
* microsoft's "hardware fix it" (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Tips-for-solving-problems-with- USB-devices)
Aside:
I spent a while wondering if the iPhone which did sync was syncing wirelessly, and doing this when I connected it via the USB cable as this would provide power to enable this to happen. This isn't the case as it will still sync if I disable the WIFI on the device - or if I disable the WIFI in my router. It isn't that.
I have a clue though.
Each of the devices is recognised in Windows, and can be viewed as if it were a camera or other storage device to allow photos to be removed. Each device has a name that you give it:
"Dave's iphone" for example.
The iPhone that DOES sync is reported in windows using this alias - "Dave's iPhone".
Each device that does not sync is reported in windown using the generic "Apple iPhone" or "Apple iPad" not the alias I have assigned to it.
Anyone got any suggestions? I'm all out of ideas.
Phil.

Here's an update for those with a similar issue. I took the advice from another post and downloaded the iTunes DMG file. Installed it, more or less, over the auto-updated version, and it now works.
A little something-something went hooy in the auto update of iTunes I guess.

Most, but not all of my sound is broken.

It all started when I upgraded to KDEmod 4.3. First, my sound stopped working, but after reading the notes I realized I needed to install a Phonon backend. So I did. I installed kdemod-phonon-backend-xine and for a little while all was well. Then sound just stopped working again. I've tried Amarok, VLC, Kaffeine, Flash videos in Firefox and a couple other various programs with various files. For some strange reason Amarok DOES have sound, but nothing else does, even when playing the same files I can play in Amarok. So it doesn't seem to be a problem with the sound itself, but with certain programs, but I have no idea why. I literally did not change a single package between when it was working and when it broke. I'm not sure whether the upgrade to KDE 4.3 was related, but since it also gave me sound problems until fixing them I thought I'd throw it out there.
I'm at a bit of a loss here. Any ideas?

Sorry to revive an old topic, but I'm having the same issues again, and this time much worse. Before it was kind of sporadic and I could live with it. Now no sound outside of Amarok works, ever. I even took out my sound card and tried to use the onboard sound in case it was something crazy like that, but no results. I notice when I start KDE there's a message telling me the device doesn't work, though it doesn't explain why. When I try to play sound in anything but Amarok, I find this message in everything.log
Nov 22 23:43:23 workstation pulseaudio[3139]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy
Despite all this Amarok STILL works, and if I go into the system settings for KDE and play the test sound, that works. Nothing else does.
I'm at a loss as to why the device would be busy.

Most, but not all, website no longer display as HTML. This has been happening since I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.

The websites are accessible but do not display as HTML. Mirriam-Webster is one such site, but there are many others. However, this Firefox site and my google mail site, as well as some others, display fine.
I've pasted in an example of a website that will not display properly on Firefox but displays just fine on Internet Explorer.

How do I disable copy/paste for most (but not all) of a .pdf?

Hello, I'm trying to create a .pdf document that is a "how-to" guide. I'd like to disable copy/pasting from 95% of this document, with the exception of a few sections that i'd like my users to be able to copy and paste and use as email templates. I've gone ahead and set pasword security settings and un-checked the box for "enable copying of text, images, and other content". Is there any way that I can enable copy/paste for just a few small sections of my document? or is it an "all or none" function?
Thanks in advance for your help. -Geoff

Graffiti, Can you please expand on that? I'm using Microsoft Word as my original document. I'll have mostly paragraphs of non-copyable text, with a few sections that contain sample email templates that will be copyable. Example below. Thanks, Geoff
Here is my description of an amazing new process written in Word. To use this process, copy the email template below and customize with your own name.

Dear John,
Copy this email and send it with your own name.

I have a 4th Gen. iPod touch and it won't sync all my music. It syncs most but not all. How do I fix this?

I connect my ipod and it syncs and goes to add the music but it won't finish adding everything. It stops with like 20 songs left and when I click sync so it will add the others it does the four step process thing for connecting and then doesn't do anything.

If it plays in iTunes on the computer then delete from iPod and sync to iPod
Also try deleting and redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
