Missing side panel on import dialogue??

When I am in the import dialogue box on my iMac, the sidebar box for option to import duplicates or not is missing, along with the option to make a second copy backup. But on my laptop, they show up just fine. Any ideas why? We discovered this problem when my partner noticed that he had some backups being done since early February on all his imports. In the lower left corner of the import dialogue box, there's an arrow. Click on it and it shows you less options than the full screen, and it shows the settings for duplicate and backups being set on his computer. but he doesn't have any preset in use, has restored them to default in fact, and cannot change them anywhere. That led us to wonder if it was the same on our laptops, so we checked and that's when we noticed that on the laptop those option boxes are showing.
Did he somehow inadvertently hide those panels? there's no option to click on the 'flyout' arrow to expand - the boxes are simply not there. And this is true on my iMac as well. We admittedly have older iMacs, but why should that matter in this case?
Puzzled, and frustrated, because our main libraries are accessed through our iMacs, and we need to be sure that we can change those settings when we want. In his case, he needs to uncheck the 'make a second copy to' and check 'don't allow suspected duplicates' but can't!
thanks for any help.

Right-click the title of one of the right-hand panels that is still showing (e.g. File Renaming, Destination, etc.) and select Show All.

I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.

InDesign 5.5 Side Panels missing content

After force quitting my program a few times due to unresponsiveness, it seems to have lost all of my preferences along with the side panel content. I can open the side panels but almost all of them are blank. I can see my layers, links, and pages but I cannot see any colors, swatches, text wrap, or alignment.
I have played with a couple of things to try and get it back to how I like it but no results.
Is this one of those super easy fixes that I am totally overlooking?
Help please!! I work in this program on a daily basis and have huge projects that are time sensitive and need to be completed.

Is side panel album artwork no longer visible in iTunes 11.x?

I have been frustrated by the inability to view album artwork in the side panel, for songs selected in list view. In iTunes 10.x, it was possible to add album artwork for a song (or group of songs) by dragging to the box on the side panel. Is this a thing of the past we have to adjust to, or am I missing a simple check box feature that allows the album artwork to be displayed in the side panel?

I'm having this problem too. The artwork was there and it doesn't matter if it's been sync'd to the iphone or not. The artwork has just gone missing. I have noticed that it also does this for the artwork on my TV shows. The TV shows were not purchased on iTunes but imported over. The artwork was there to begin with.
I have also noticed that if I 'Get Info' for the file in iTunes on either music or TV shows then the artwork come back.
However, I don't want to have to do this for all the files that are missing. For Info, it seems that around 10% of my artwork has suddenly gone missing.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Photo in folder doesn't appear in import dialogue

Hi there,
I have LR 3.6 and have created a catalog of pictures from a ski trip I took last year. All of these pictures and the LR catalog are in one folder on my hard drive. After sorting, deleting and retouching quite a few pictures I now notice that one picture is missing from the library. If I open the folder in Explorer (Win 7) I can see the picture, and Windows Picture & Fax Viewer will open/display this picture so it appears the file itself is fine.
However, I cannot get this picture into the library for some reason. When I choose File>Import Photos this one picture doesn't show up in the list of photos. It's as if Lightroom can't see this picture for some reason.
Any suggestions?
Oh, and I don't know if it matters, but there is a movie clip with the same filename but a different extension (obviously) that does show up in the library and the import dialogue. The picture filename is DSC_0001.jpg, the movie filename is DSC_0001.mov.
thanks for any help!

Having a movie file with the same sounds like it might be your problem. Try renaming (within Lightroom) the movie file. Then try to re-import the photo. Or you could do it the other way and rename the image file.

What is"Program Switch" on iMac side panel?

I've had this iMac for a long time and I thought I knew all its features. I came across "Program Switch" in a graphic of the side panel posted by Duane a few weeks ago in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7678269&#7678269
I never knew it existed. I've looked everywhere: in Mac Help, Googled, searched in this forum, looked in the original instruction booklet (which shows it but doesn't name or explain it), but have come up with absolutely nothing to explain what "Program Switch" is.
I suppose it can't be that important since I've been using this computer for the past seven years without knowing, but does anyone know what "Program Switch" is? Thanks.

Thanks Kenichi,
No wonder I couldn't find anything on it. Just did a Google for "programmer's switch" and found lots of stuff. It's apparently only for OS9 and probably isn't anything I could use anyway. But it's nice to know what that little button is.

Photos indicated in import dialogue as previously imported are not found in catalogue

Hey there,
I have a photo that I imported recently. When I search my catalogue for the original NEF file, Lightroom tells me no such photo exists (the find function finds no hits). So when I try to reimport the photo, lightroom grays out the photo in the import dialogue window, telling me that that photo already exists in the catalogue. Though it apparently exists in the catalogue, why can't lightroom locate it? Why can't I view it?
Secondly, if I import photos the same way every time (import--copy--original NEF files into catalogue as originals, not as dng), why do XMP files irregularly accompany some files?
Thanks

Hey Hal,
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately my problem is not an issue with stacking. I'll try to clarify a bit more. I have a file (_DSC9805.nef) and its photoshop edited '.TIF' version imported to and saved onto an external hardrive. When I search for the files, they appear in my macintosh finder directory. In lightroom, however, the photo doesn't appear--neither when I search for it by sorting photos by capture time, nor when I explicitly search the photo's exact file name; lightroom tells me "no photos mach the filter." In the case that lightroom lost the photo from the catalogue, I tried reimporting the photo. This didn't work because lightroom won't allow me to import the photo; the thumbnail is grayed out because the photo file is purportedly already in lightroom. Could my version of lightroom have a bug or an update failure that perturbes the catalogue like this? It's like lightroom doesn't recognize it's own photo. It doesn't even go so far as to indicate a missing photo with a question mark. It's just not there except for when I try to reimport. I'm 100% certain I've not made a personal error in my search querries and such, as i've done the search a number of times. The photo shows up in the macintosh finder, but not the LR catalogue after importing... Any other ideas or thoughts?
Thanks

How to call a BI Query (side panel) with selections provided by "tags"?

With regards to my previous post (has anyone already successfully integrated their own BI report in a side panel?) we're still not there yet. What we actually would like to do is call a BI Query in the side panel and have the variable for that report filled automatically via "wiring" (using a tag).
Basically we have a BI Query on a Transient Provider which "calculates" a couple of key figures with regards to a document number (shipment). The reason being before a shipment is to be "sent out" it should meet a couple of requirements (which are not immediately visible within the standard screens) concerning (sales) value, weight, etc...
We have successfully "tagged" the shipment number in the transactions concerned (VT01N - VT03N). Now, as per my previous post if we just add the BI Query as an analytic list component (WDC_BS_ANLY_LIST_ALV) we seem to be getting errors (as the variable is not passed on). To avoid the error, we have added a search component (FPM_SEARCH_UIBB).
So, now we get a "selection screen" in which we manually need to fill a shipment number and when we do, the results are correctly displayed.
Obviously, we would like to have this "variable" assignment to be done automatically via the tag.
What are we missing here?

found this document on using the FPM_SEARCH_UIBB http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f07c2765-4ee8-2e10-759b-ea7429a430bb?QuickLink=index&…
if only such a (extremely detailed) document would exits on passing on the "tag" to the BI query variable (as that is not as straight forward)

How to Get Side-Panel is Gnome 3 ?

i installed gnome 3 but something is lacking :-/ side-panel , it comes in some additional package ?

Gnome has its own words for describing the UI elements. Please look at the pictures on the gnome help page and report back what exactly is missing.
Also use the words from the help page to describe it.
If you want to have a permanently visible dash on the left, you need modifications, as it is not included in gnome per default.

Anyone understand this strange LR3 side panel behaviour?

In the last couple of days my laptop has developed a piece of strange behaviour related to the side panels. I'm pretty sure it didn't start when I installed the LR3.5 update, but this may have been a contributing factor.
Until recently I always worked in "solo" mode. A couple of days ago, LR's behaviour changed so that opening or closing any of the side panels would cause the relevant side (left or right) to become totally unresponsive. The rest of the program continued to work fine, and the equivalent side panel in other modules continued to work properly until a panel was opened or closed.
In an attempt to understand what was going on, I turned "solo" mode off. This led to some very interesting behaviour indeed:
If I used the triangle to open or close a side panel, everything worked exactly as expected.
If I clicked on the dark grey bar to open or close a side panel, it became stuck in one of the two states.
When stuck in "open" state, clicking in the grey area simply caused the panel to close and then re-open, very rapidly.
When stuck in "closed" state, something similar happened in that the panel opened and then re-closed, very rapidly.
When in "stuck" state, clicking on the triangle had no effect on the displayed panel but it seemed to toggle the internal state between opened and closed.
Once toggled, clicking on the grey bar opened the panel where it used to close it, and vice versa.
When collapsed, the panel displays as pale grey rather than the more usual dark grey. See below for an illustration.
I have a desktop machine as well which doesn't show the behaviour. I've tried reinstalling LR3.5, to no avail. My guess is that we're dealing with inconsistent panel state information in the "preferences" file, but I don't know for sure.
If anyone knows what is happening, or (more importantly) how to stop it happening, I'd be enormously grateful for some help.
Many thanks in advance,
Ian Wilson
Cambridge UK

Further investigation yielded yet more interesting behaviour - and, it turns out, a pointer to the problem.
I tried renaming the old "preferences" file, causing LR to create a new one. The problem was unchanged, apart from losing my registration information...
I tried creating a new, virgin catalogue. This behaved normally, so I thought I was onto something!
I tried importing a folder of pictures into the new catalogue. The old behaviour returned.
I created a new virgin catalogue, which reverted to good behaviour. I then imported one picture into the catalogue. Behaviour BAD.
I then tried removing the single picture from the catalogue and restarted LR. Behaviour GOOD!
Conclusion: Lightroom works just fine for me providing I never put any pictures into my catalogue!!
This got me thinking that, perhaps, the issue was related to the rendering of images. I tried installing the latest nVidia drivers for my laptop, but this had no effect whatsoever. Given the issue clearly related to how images are rendered, however, I wondered whether the problem could relate to colour profiles. BINGO!! I'd recently upgraded my "i1xtreme" to X-Rite's new "i1publish". The profiles created with the latest software are ".icm" rather than ".icc", although this shouldn't matter (and doesn't matter to PS and Bridge). It seems to matter to LR, however, as reverting to my earlier ".icc" profiles made everything work again just fine.
There is obviously a bug somewhere, but it's not clear whether I should be chasing Adobe or X-Rite. I'd welcome any comments or advice...
Many thanks for the suggestions,
Ian.

SAP standard example for Side Panels?

Hiya,
I've read up about side panels (thank you to all those who've written the lovely blogs!) and I think they look great!
I'm so excited about them that I'd like to demonstrate the functionality to our business - hopefully to convince them that NWBC, and side panels, are the way forward for their power users.
I was hoping to use a SAP delivered side panel - would anyone know how/where SAP has a standard example side panel that I could use for demonstration purposes?
Thanks!

Thanks everyone!
In the end transaction BSSP_CONTENT seemed the most useful but now I'm a little stuck on how to proceed.
I mean I found this side panel which I thought would be nice to show the power of NWBC:
So I added it, and other roles, to my user via SU01:
But when I go into VA02 I see no side panel?
Obviously I'm missing something, would anyone know what?
Many thanks in advance!

NOTES, info side-panel

I include notes on events, esp important ones, before and after. I need to view them instantly in a side panel while browsing/scheduling ... w/o double-clicking, clicking 'edit', scrolling etc.
and notes are tags for the search function, which should be able to be continuously displayed.
I SWEAR an earlier version of iCal had all of this...

Sorry, but there was a lot of discussion on it when it disappeared (it was dropped in Leopard). Many people asked for it, but it has not reappeared and we are now on Leopard's seventh version. Soon we will have Snow Leopard, so you could wait and see if the the demand for the return has been sufficient, but I suspect if it was coming back it would be back by now. I have no idea why it went away.

PowerMac G5 will ONLY boot up when the side panel is removed

Hi,
We have a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5GHZ . This mac will ONLY boot up when the side panel and the clear plastic panel are removed. If the Mac is assembled, the Mac will start and Chime, but thats it. No display and the fans are dead quite. Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi, I realised that this problem has ONLY occured AFTER I installed Leopard. I then reformated the hard drive and installed 10.34 ( the OS that came with the G5) and it is as good as gold. I then reformated the hard drive and installed Leopard. After a few minutes the G5 became noisy and unstable. I then reformatted the hard drive AGAIN and reinstalled 10.34 and it stable. How can I install Leopard without the machine behaving erratic? Thanks for any advice in advance
