"modified" files weren't modified

I took a look at the "Modified" folder enclosed in the iPhoto Library package, and noticed a large number of pictures. I found this strange since I don't copy my photo files into the Library and haven't done any editing in iPhoto.
Then I noticed that a lot of these files in the Modified folder were still images taken from video files. So, okay I guess that's just a quirk; I can live with some extra images for my movies files, whatever.
The problem is that some of the files were not taken from movies, and I know for a fact that I have not edited or modified them. The only things I have done is place them in Events and Folders/Albums and maybe give them ratings, but I did some testing and none of this seems to place a file in the Modified folder.
Also, when I click "Revert to original", the file is temporarily removed from Modified folder, but then goes right back a few seconds later. Weird.
Is this happening for anyone else? Can anyone tell me why this is happening and/or how to stop it? Thanks.

What you're experiencing is normal for iPhoto. A file of the first frame of movies is created so that it can be viewed in iPhoto. However, when played iPhoto passes it over to Quicktime. All portrait oriented photos taken with cameras with the auto-rotate capability get a modified version with the correct orientation for viewing and editing. Just the nature of the beast.
As Terence mentioned, there's checkbox in Preview that, if left unchecked, will cause the photo to be physically rotated instead of just using the rotation tag. To uncheck the box you'll need to use the Save As method.
There's a free Contextual menu application, PhotoTool CM that will batch rotate, losslessly, files from the Finder. It would be much faster than doing each photo individually in Preview.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read...

    Ok, here's my problem. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer over all my songs, videos & playlists from iTunes to a new computer. I don't have the new one hooked up yet b/c I need to save all my files first. Well, I thought I was going to need the latest version of iTunes to be able to do this. I have version 7.6 and when I opened up iTunes it asked me if I'd like to download the latest version (8.1). I clicked yes and it opened up an exploror page from apple where it had the download button. I clicked on download and it went through the process. Well, once it finished I clicked on iTunes to open it up and when it did, all my songs and playlists were gone. It looked as if I had downloaded it for the first time. I figured it would be upgrade to the lastest version and all my stuff would be there. Not take all of it away. I freaked out and tried to restore my computer back to it's most recent checkpoint before I downloaded the lastest version thinking it would reset back to the 7.6 version. Well now when I try to open iTunes, I get this message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Now I have no idea what to do. I seem to be worse off than I was before. Even when I plug my iPod in, it gives me the same message. Now I can't open up iTunes at all. So if anyone can help me solve this problem so I can be able to open iTunes again and figure out how to transfer everything to my new computer, I would be most grateful!
    Thanks!
    Seriously frustrated
    Message was edited by: Whitney22

    One thing to remember is I upgraded to the lastest version, but when none of my files where there, I went into my control panel for the computer and restored it to the most recent checkpoint which was last night, thinking it would reset iTunes to before the upgrade. A sort of "go back in time" fix. Which it did b/c it shows it back to version 7.6. Would that make a difference? There is an XML file title iTunes Music Library that was modified on 3-24-09. Here's another problem. I created a folder for the desktop to start moving files into that I wanted to save for the new computer. I moved an iTunes folder into the new one I created. It's there that I see the Past Libraries folder. But when I go to my C drive and the program files/iTunes, there is no such folder. Obviously b/c I moved it. But what I don't get is when I tried using shift to open iTunes, those older library files weren't there to chose from. There was one from todays date and that's the one I picked. But none of my songs and stuff were on it. So I have no idea why one file will be in one place, but not the other and vice versa. Am I confusing you yet? B/c I sure as heck don't know what I'm doing.

  • Windows file permissions problems

    We have an Xserve G5 that was running Server 10.3. I upgraded it directly to Server 10.5. Since then, I am having problems with some of our Windows users.
    When they create a new folder, it puts them as the owner, but gives them NO rights. I am using ACLs to give full rights to the group that needs access, and also setting the POSIX group rights to read/write. So once they leave that folder, they can no longer get back in. I have SMB set to inherit rights from the parent, and the ACL is set to inherit as well. Other people in the group can access the folder, just not the owner! I change the owner permissions and all is well (for that folder at least). How do I need to set SMB so it follows the inheritance I set?
    Once I have the folder set correctly, any new files created there have the POSIX group set to read only. The ACL inherits properly and still has full control. The owner is set correctly, usually. It is not consistent.
    Once someone creates a file in any folder, if a Windows user modifies a file someone else created, it changes the owner name and gives them no rights. It also creates a new ACL record. If the original owner was a Mac user, it creates a new explicit ACL with all rights except execute and delete. If the file has ACL records already, it duplicates them and gives whatever rights it feels like (it seems). One new record may say Allow Delete only, and the next one say Allow Read except for execute. The only thing for certain is it will never match the original ACL. It always adds the new ACLs at the top of the list, and the duplicates are grayed out as if they were actually inherited that way. The most 'popular' file I've found so far had 128 "inherited" ACL records!
    It is also denying access to some folders that the user has the correct permissions for. For instance, I can create/modify/delete files logged in on the Mac side, but when I log in on Windows, I have problems accessing files/folders. It shows everything as read only. Even if I change the properties in Windows, it will revert back to read-only when I apply the change.
    We have a new Xserve that we will be moving the file services to. At that time, all the Windows users will be moved completely to the Mac side - currently the Windows users are accessing the Xserve and a Novell server.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Thy,
    Based on my research, the Trusted Installer is a service, for those resources which only allow Trusted Installer to modify, neither Administrator nor System can modify them.
    I am wondering that how secure the network and physical environment is that you need to create a GPO to prevent users making permissions changes on system files. These system files normally only can be modified by Administrators,
    System or Trusted Installer, which is secure enough when we don’t add users we don’t trust enough to Administrators group.
    >What is the best way to undo this while leaving the audit failures turned on and still retaining the correct permissions on all the files?
    As long as administrators on these machines are qualified, you can remove the Group Policy. If not, please don’t make any user you don’t trust as Administrator.
    >What happens to the files that aren't owned trustedinstalled than now have the trustedinstaller default permissions under system32 and syswow64 if I were to remove the gpo?  What file  permissions would be retained?
    We should keep the default permissions, if those files weren’t owned by Trusted Installer before, we should change the original owner back, vice versa.
    Here are some related articles below I suggest you refer to:

  • Can copying a file from a Xsan volume seen thru local sharing then  be...

    I'm told this and wonder:
    The xsan is mounted on computer A. Computer B connects to computer A and copies a file off the Xsan that is visible because computer A is connected to it.
    My associate says those files copied this way that were then copied to a DVD and sent to a client are unreadable. Is this possible? Even if the metadata is missing a file (photoshop psd or tif) should still have permissions that allow it to be opened, or not?
    thanks
    alan

    If the permissions were set to some local user on your network and you sent those files on DVD to someone else the local users on that system would still be able to open them (first local user is 501 on every mac). As long as the files weren't encrypted it shouldn't be a problem. In the absolute worst case the local admin account could change or reset the permissions, instead of unknown UID if a strange OD account was the source.

  • I-tunes won't open my files from my external hard drive....

    I am trying to upload my files from my old ext. HD to my new one. And I tried doing it a few times, and it wasn't compltely working. Some files weren't copying over, and some files were just getting duplciated, and I had like 10 copies of the same file, so I deleted my whole I-tunes playlist on my actual I-tunes, and I have all of my files backed up. I keep getting a message that says "There is not enough room on your Mac HD to copy all the files. It will copy as many files as it can"
    I forced quit my I-tunes and I am trying to copy my files to the other HD and then add to playlist or import the files into my I-tunes, and hope it will open...any suggestion to what the problem is?

    I deleted my whole I-tunes playlist on my actual I-tunes
    That doesn't delete the music, just the Library. The music files remain, that's why you get a "space" message

  • Bridge doesn't recognize its own .xmp files

    Using Bridge CS3 on Mac OS 10.5.8. I edit RAW (.nef) files in ACR. When I click done, save, or open image, an .xmp sidecar file is generated and saved in the same folder as the .nef. However, changes made in ACR do not show in the preview thumbnail in Bridge, and when I re-open the file in ACR, my changes are lost. The .xmp file is still there, it's just not applied. It's like Bridge doesn't know the .xmp file is there. The icons in Bridge indicating altered develop settings or crops do not appear after adjudstments are made. Star ratings made in Bridge remain. When this issue began, it would ignore sidecar files for some images, but not others. It is increasing in frequency, or may now be consistent. (If I open the file into Photoshop or save an image file out of ACR, the changes are applied to the developed image file, they are simply ignored by Bridge in regards to the Raw file.)
    Files that were adjusted before the problem began still synchronize with their sidecar files. Looking at the sidecar files in a text editor shows that they contain the adjustments made.
    There were no changes in any installations/updates to software or OS at the time of the problem's onset.
    I've tried using a Camera Raw database instead of sidecar files, and the changes are still lost. I've tried purging caches for Bridge and for ACR. I've tried resetting and dumping preference (.plist) files.
    Anyone have ideas on what I can do to salvage this program as my RAW library manager?

    Matthew,
    Same problem here. But I'm using CS5 in Win7.
    Bridge cannot find its XMP files. Bridge does not see its XMP files. XMP files do not work. Camera Raw settings do not show in thumbnails. ACR settings lost.
    I just now figured out the problem/solution.
    In my case, the association between CR2 files and Bridge was usurped by Canon DPP (the Canon raw converter) which I just installed this afternoon. When I installed it, there was no immediate problem. But when I started a new work session tonight, Bridge acted as if the XMP files weren't even there.
    Solution: In Windows, to set a file association, you just right-click on a file (in this case the CR2 file) and select "Open With", and then navigate to Bridge (in my case Bridge CS5). That re-establishes the link between Bridge and its own XMP files. Then simply purge your cache and let Bridge rebuild it using its XMPs (which it can now find again) to rebuild the cache with the adjustments that are stored in the XMPs.
    I don't know how to do this on a Mac, but the principle is the same.
    I hope this solves your problem.

  • How do I move GarageBand files from iPad 2 to New iPad?

    My laptop is a PC, not a Mac.
    At the Apple store I was told it was no problem. I merely back up my iPad 2 and then restore my New iPad (3) from that backup. So far it isn't working and I've tried several times.
    Weirdly, when I first set up my New iPad (3) iTunes set it up as the default "Steve's iPad" which is what I called my iPad 2 on iTunes, and  my GarageBand files appeared on my new IPad (3). So I know it's possible.
    HOWEVER, I hadn't backed up or synched my iPad 2 in a while, so my newer GarageBand files weren't on it.  So I backed up/synched my iPad 2 and then restored my New iPad to original settings, and clicked on "restore from Steve's iPad"  No luck. No GarageBand files. I tried this several times,with no luck.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Here is how you can export a .band folder to your iPhone, it should work for iPad as well.
    This was my steps
    1. Download iExplorer and install it. Connect your iPhone
    2. Find the folder "com.apple.mobilegarageband" in iExplorers browser
    3. Drag and drop your folder .band to the folder "Documents". (!! Your'e not done yet!)
    4. In GarageBand on your iPhone press the plus-button as you would start a new song. Choose "Copy from iTunes". Choose your imported song.
    5. Start rockin'

  • Error While Uploading, hidden file somewhere conflicting?

    I was in the process of uploading some files to Acrobat.com, most worked but a couple of them failed. The progress bar in the upper right disappeared, but my files weren't showing. Figured there was just a problem with the file, so I tried to upload again, one at a time. It uploaded and then said a file exists with that name already and do I want to delete new, delete previous or rename the new one. I say to delete the one that was previously uploaded, and my file now appears with a " (1)" added to the file name. When I try to rename it to the correct name the error it gives is: "Could not complete your request (400) - An error occurred while trying to complete your request, and it could not be completed."
    Is there a way to see hidden files or files that errored so I can clear them out to start fresh?

    I was thinking the same thing, hoping there was some hidden way to get at the files.
    I tried going through incognito mode and through a separate browser that had never been to any Adobe site, same error when I tried to rename.
    I think I'll try to move the files I know are good to another folder then delete the folder where these annoying files are hidden. I would think that would get rid of them then I can start over. I'll let you know.

  • I can no longer open torrent files with transmission without downloading them; I could do this easily before the most recent update, how do I make this right??

    I tried to get a torrent file today, normally I tell firefox to open with transmission, today it wasn't an option. I tried to go to preferences and change it there but torrent files weren't even an option. Yesterday it worked fine, but after last nights update I can't get it to work at all.

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • HT4914 Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

    Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

    I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
    I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
    Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
    Bingo!

  • Can´t open files directly in Camera Raw from Bridge.

    I get this message: "Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
    It has been working before without problems. Bridge 6.0.1.6   OS X  10.10

    I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves.  RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
    If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
    The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
    To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab.  Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
    You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab.  Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure.  It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

  • Inbox folders not being created from msf files

    Last week, I noticed that my Inbox folder files weren't appearing in my profile. I posted a generalized question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/996903
    The response I received didn't help that much. The folder I created appeared on the remote mailbox as empty folders.
    My mail account is synced via IMAP to a remote Zimbra mail client using STARTTLS. I can view my Inbox. The other folders in my Inbox account are not visible. I can send and recieve messages from my INBOX.
    When I select "Manage folder Subscriptions" In the account options, I can see the folders. When I select them, and click the "Subscribe" button, nothing happens.
    Inspecting my IMAP directory, I see the following structure:
