Need help understanding appending metadata and keywords

It seems too good to be true--appending the copyright and keywords to multiple images at a time in Bridge. We started doing it on a server volume of images and it seems to work ... as long as you are logged on to the computer that appended the data as the user that appended the data. Log on to the server from another computer as another user and it's all gone. I thought the metadata was stored in the image when you append it. Why are the keywords and metadata user specific? Are we doing something wrong? It seems a huge waste of time, if the metadata isn't general to anyone searching the photo volume.
Bridge CS3 on Mac OS 10.4x, working on a Windows server volume.

There is a command to Build and Export the cache, I just don't remember offhand where it is in CS3. I'm working on CS4 right now and don't have time to quit and launch CS3. Hope you can find it.

I need help understanding export options and optimizing for web

I have been using FCP X for a short while now and have a pretty good grasp on the editing capabilities. What I'm having a horrible time figuring out is the export/share options. The videos I create are typically approximately 1 minute in length and get posted to a web site (we have our own CMS and video player so I'm not using YouTube or Vimeo or anything like that). In order to post them I need them to be MP4s and then I have to create .webm and .ogv files. The source material I work with is generally great, high quality stuff, so I end up with very large output files from the initial FCP share master file options.
When I use MPEG Streamclip to make my MP4s I end up with files that are still quite large and I can't seem to ever get the file size manageable without losing tons of quality. I do not have Compressor, though if that will solve my problem I will put in for the expense of it. What I'm trying to understand is what sorts of settings I should be trying out to get my file sizes to be manageable without completely compromising my quality. And I know this can be done, because the company I work for pays for a great quantity of video work each year (from an outside production firm) and the clips provided are beautiful in quality and small in file size -- for example, I recently worked on a video and got it into the 40MB range before quality went to crap, working off the same material the production company we do work with had theirs down into the teens and looking beautiful!
To throw an even greater wrench in the works, I am working off a mac. But when my boss, on a pc, saves the mp4s I create (raw files -- not what is posted to the web) locally on his machine and views them from there the sound is always off a tad and the people in the videos look like they're lip synching.
Any advice on either of these is MUCH appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out properly for months, and only today decided to stop seeing if someone else had the same question and just post my own.

Thank you Karsten, this was helpful I have utilized the Quality slider and the frame size options before though with limited results. I've never messed with the Limit Date Rate option as I don't know what I'm doing with it, I see you put 5Mbps. Is that a typical setting that I could use?
Using stream info, here's info on my original source file:
Stream: Charles_0023_2.mov
Duration: 0:00:51
Data Size: 96.51 MB
Bit Rate: 15.77 Mbps
Video Tracks:
H.264, 1920 × 1080, 29.97 fps, 15.64 Mbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 127 kbps
Stream Files:
Charles_0023_2.mov (96.51 MB)
As a comparison, here's the info on a similar clip that the company we sometimes use created:
Stream: Charles_0019_4.mp4
Duration: 0:00:49
Data Size: 4.66 MB
Bit Rate: 0.80 Mbps
Video Tracks:
JVT/AVC Coding, 710 × 400, 29.97 fps, 635 kbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 162 kbps
Stream Files:
Charles_0019_4.mp4 (4.66 MB)
I'm fine with bringing the frame size down some and modifying the limit data rate, but sometimes I feel like I'm forcing my video into something it's not and the quality suffers -- this is where my understanding of video work breaks down LOL. Any suggestions of how I can get my .mov into something like the the .mp4 above?
Also have you had any experience with mp4s not playing back properly on pcs?
Again, thank you!

Need help understanding how ipv4 and ipv6 co-exist

I'm trying to understand something that happened in our network recently. Current, we're all ipv4 based, but a few machines here and there have ipv6 enabled by mistake. Everything has been working ok, but recently we had some dhcp issues. I'm trying to understand how exactly ipv6 and ipv4 work together.
Questions:
- if we have workstations with ipv6 enabled but no dhcpv6 servers, does the ff02::1:2 multicast address exist on the network? If something starts up a dhcpv6 server somewhere, would that explain why several workstations have started sending out dhcpv6 solicit messages?
- If workstations attempt to get an address via dhcpv6 and get no response, will it try dhcp with ipv4, or will it just assign a 169.254.*.* address?

Copying Metadata and Keyword Info when installing Bridge on new computer

Hi, I've just purchased a new computer and have installed Bridge CC on it, but I couldn't figure out what files from my old computer I need to copy/move over so that I can access the metadata and keywords that I had customized in Bridge on my older computer. Both are Bridge CC so there should be versioning issues.
Can someone give me a step by step on what files to copy and replace?
Thanks,
Steve Goldberg
I'm using a Mac Pro, if that helps.

Sigh, it's bad enough that Adobe tech support gave you conflicting information, but for them to shun responsibility by directing you to a user forum is completely unacceptable.
Having said that, I have the following suggestions:
From what I've found on MSDN, that error is generated because either the Adobe software installed on your computer is performing an illegal or conflicting operation; or some Windows system files have been deleted or moved.
So, the things to try are:
Simplify matters by uninstalling all the Adobe software -- PSE8, Premier elements, PSE9, the whole works. Restart your computer and then install only PSE9.
If you still get the error, use System File Check to repair the system files:
Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click
Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
Prompt, and then click Run as
administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for
a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannowThe sfc
/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect
versions with correct Microsoft versions.
Be patient, it can take a while. After running sfc, even if it reports it didn't find any files to repair, it really did, so restart your computer.

Expanded Metadata and Keywording Support

I have been trying to work with Metadata and Keywording for photographs lately, and I have been a bit frustrated with how vague the subject is. I feel that the ability to find photos using a standardized controlled language is a very important topic as digital photo collections grow larger and larger.
I had an idea of one place where Adobe and the Lightroom and Photoshop teams could help and I don't think that there would be too much development work involved.
In the past Adobe worked with IPTC to come up with Metadata templates which are now standard in Photoshop as the IPTC Core. IPTC also has put together an extensive albeit difficult to use (in its current format) set of Codes for the Core fields. My idea is this; incorporate the IPTC Codes into the Core templates in both Photoshop and Lightroom as a dropdown field instead of a free format field. This way photographers could begin to use a globally accepted controlled vocabulary as part of their metadata strategy.
I would also love to see Adobe use its position as an industry leader on standardization to work with leading archivists to write White Papers on the subject of keywording and controlled vocabulary and provide accepted strategies and conventions for setting up a metadata system. It would also be great if these same experts could work on an expanded number of Keyword Sets to help photographers kickstart their keywording efforts.

The utility "psedbtool" will write metadata (keywords, captions, notes, dates, star ratings) to the metadata of most file formats, and for formats that it doesn't understand, it will write .xmp sidecars:

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

Need Help Understanding GoldenGate DR (Standby) Switchover/Fail-over with DBFS and Fuser

Hi, Gurus. We are about to embark on GoldenGate DR failover / switchover configuration and testing using DBFS and Fuser. The details are described in Doc ID 1436913.1 and 1322547.1.
I know the basics of GoldenGate and Oracle DataGuard. But DBFS and Fuser are new concepts to me. I need some help.
1) Is GoldenGate installed in a DBFS partition on the primary? SO, DBFS has to be configured before it is installed?
2) Are these GoldenGate files and directories (ggsci, /dirdat, /dirrpt, etc) visible from UNIX level? Will I be able to navigate in the GG mount or is it a closed file system like ASM?
3) DBFS has to be a part of database. So, what happens if primary database crashes and cannot be mounted? My guess DBFS will not start because the database is down. Or does it run outside of database?
4) Does DBFS store just links to large files in the Oracle database, but the actual GoldenGate binaries files still reside on OS level? Ot they are INSIDE of the database - both GG binaries and trails?
5) How does GoldenGate replicates itself to standby? Because it is a part of database and primary archivelogs and redo logs send the changes to the standby? Or it ONLY runs until switchover/failover on the primary, but afterward it is simply unmounted from primary and mounted to standby by the oracle OS user and the scripts? Or is there a datapump and extract that send trails to standby and after the failure those trails are simply being used?
I guess that is my main question. Why do we bother with DBFS at all? We can simply add a standby extract/datapump to the primary. It will send trails to the standby, that will have only manager running. The manager will accept the trails, periodically deleting all older than lets say one week. At the time of failover/switchover we simply use the same queries as in the docs above to find out if standby became the new primary (the failover had occured). If it did, we can use the same script to get SCN from which this new incarnation started , use a shell script to use an obey file to add the replicat starting from that sequence and voila! Why do we need to bother with fuser and cumbersome DBFS at all? Please let me know what I am missing. If there are alternative to this DBFS DR GoldenGate switchover I would like to use which ever one is the simplest. Thanks.

Looking at the information provided by you. You have created a flashback restore point and then activated your standby database. As you have flashback restore you can flashback your current primary database(old standby) to standby mode but all your changes made on your database will be lost. And you have not done a switchover. you have activated your standby.

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated

I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

NEED HELP about file handling and searching

Hi guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A) I need a help from u i wrote this programme to read from the file and assign the lines for the string array.
import java.io.*;
public class ReadFile{
public static void main(String[] args){
int i;
BufferedReader file;
String line() = null;
String fileName = "xx.txt";
          try {
               file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
line(i)= file.readLine();
System.out.println(line(i));
file.close();
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               System.out.println("File: " + fileName + " not found.");
          } catch(IOException e) {
               System.out.println("Error reading data from file: " + fileName);
the thing is it is compiling but when interpritting it gives the error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException in line(i)= file.readLine();
plese help me on this and
B) i want to know how to search the string array to find 4 letter words.
i'm taking the each element which is line(i) one at a time and search it.
Plese help me on these issues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You try to create an array with line(i) (as far as i see) but you dont need to keep each line in memory. As far as i understand you just need to process lines sequentially.. (Null pointer exception is thrown because you did not create your array properly!)
Look at this code:
http://www.java-tips.org/java-se-tips/java.io/reading-text-from-a-file.html
You just need to define process method in that code. (and of course try to understand). So as far as i see, you will check for 4-letter words inside process method!
For detecting 4-character word, you need to extract the words in the line using StringTokenizer:
http://www.java-tips.org/java-se-tips/java.util/how-to-use-stringtokenizer.html
Then you can just just use length() method of String class:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/String.html
And if you need more advanced logic for processing the lines(currently seems to be the length of strings), you may try regular expressions:

Need help understanding a project please

Hi, i just finished reading through this lab that i'm supposed to do, but have no idea what i am supposed to do. Could anyone here possibly help me understand it in an easier fashion? I would really appreciate it.
Assignment:
For this assignment, we will create a number class that can help us create classes for objects like clocks or angles. The number class will have to be general enough so that we can define different bases for it. Clocks need numbers of base 24 (or 12) and 60. Angles need numbers of base 360 and 60. For now, we are going to simplify things and only define constructors, a toString method, and an increment method. Of course, a complete number class would have many other methods, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, comparing, and negating the numbers. Since a number is made up of digits, we will also define a digit class. The number and digit classes appear very similar because they have nearly the same methods. The differences are in the implementations of the methods.
Write a number class that represents a number with a given base. The number class has two constructors. The default constructor sets the base at 10 and the value to 0. The other constructor accepts a decimal value and a base. The constructors will have to create all of the digits (as objects of the digit class) and store them in some kind of list. Create a toString method and an increment method. These two methods will use the corresponding methods of the digit class to do most of the work for them.
Write a digit class that represents a single digit with a given base. The digit class has two constructors. The default constructor sets the base at 10 and the value to 0. The other constructor accepts a decimal value and a base. Create a toString method and an increment method. The increment method should return a boolean: true if there is a carry and false if not.
For both classes, you can assume that the bases are restricted to binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal and the values are non-negative.
Instructions:
Write a test driver that proves that your classes work.

Am i just reading into the lesson to much and making it way more complicated than it actually is?Like I said, I'm not going to try to interpret the whole thing for you but a) It tells you what to do with the c'tors, and b) I would always assume that "create a method" or "define a method" or whatever he says means "create a *fully functional, correct* method", unless he explicitly states to leave it empty for now.
My advice is to use your best judgment as to what's expected, and get started on that basis. At your first opportunity to speak to your teacher, explain your uncertainty and the assumptions you made.
If you have specific questions along the way, post them here, along with your code or an SSCCE.
