New Catalog and No More Key Words

I did a bunch of file housekeeping (empty directories erased and some movement of files to other drives. I created a new catalog and imported all the files again. They all came but without their key words. Did I screw up? I still have my old catalog files.

Ian,
Thank you so much for such a simple and clear answer. Can I do a Hybrid where I save the metadata on the files that have not been moved; create a new catalog and then manually apply key words to the files that I have moved?
Your question indicates you don't really understand how Lightroom stores keywords. By default, the keywords and other metadata are never written to the actual files. So ... moving the files or not has nothing to do with whether or not the metadata will show up on re-import. The metadata should be written to all of your files via Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-S. And as I said in my earlier post, other information in the LR database will not get written to your files when you do Ctrl-S, and will not wind up in the LR catalog upon re-import. And creating new catalogs and re-importing simply isn't the best way to go. So ... forget this hybrid idea, forget this idea of re-importing, go back to your original catalog before the moves and work with that.

Is it possible to add and view your key words when creating a web site from Lightroom 4?

Is it possible to add and view your key words when creating a web site from Lightroom 4?

Hi,
I had the same problem with
"java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.html.uielib.standard.uradapter.ViewContainerUIElementAdapter.getContent(ViewContainerUIElementAdapter.java:98)"
when I included ViewUsages dynamically in an action handler (outside wdDoInit()).
The code below fixed that problem.
This code creates a new OutboundPlug for the embedding view with the embedded view as target and fires the plug.
<i>// Create OutboundPlug
IWDOutboundPlugInfo outboundPlug = embedderViewInfo.createOutboundPlug();
//Create navigation link
rootViewUsage.createNavigationTarget(outboundPlug.getName(), interfaceViewUsage, "Default");
// fire navigation link
wdThis.wdGetAPI().firePlug(outboundPlug, Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
</i>
I hope I could help you. Probably you don't need the information anymore, but perhaps anybody else has the same problem.
Regards, Alex

My Lightroom 4 wouldn't open. A computer tech worked on my computer to clean it all up, etc. however Lightroom still wouldn't open. He opened a new catalog and that will work, however I can't find my old one with all my photographs. When I click on open catalogs, it goes to documents and I can't find any catalogs there.

What happens if you try File->Open Recent? What happens if you have your operating system search all of your hard disks for files whose name ends with .LRCAT?

I opened a new catalog and now can't open my old catalog?

I opened a new catalog in LR and now I cannot find my old catalog with 12K pictures on it? I've googled this, been on YouTube, tried to reach support. Can anyone help?

The file should be in your recently used catalog list (File, Open Recent).
If not then use your operating system to search for all files with the "lrcat" suffix.
Failing those we might need to know the LR version and your OS.

*Unsolved Mystery* New Mini and my USB key

This has been a real mystery to me. I am usually great about problem solving.
I have a MBP that recognizes and uses the iLok USB key without a problem. I bought a new Mac Mini, and the key will not work on the new computer. I have installed all the latest drivers/software, tried multiple USB ports and hubs, reset the PRAM/other utilities, repaired permissions, and more. Nothing will even get the USB device to even show up in System Profiler.
The ports work fine with every single other device I own, and the key works on my other Mac, so I am truly puzzled what is going on with my new Mini. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Everything you have heard seems to be correct. This is the second one I have purchased and they are pretty problematic. The MBP is running 10.7.3. I am afraid of updating because everything is running smoothly now. I am a musician and I have a big show next weekend so I definitely need the iLok to work on at least one of my Macs.

When I open a new document and press letter key to type i get no response. I can't figure why.

When I open a new document in Pages and pressa a letter key to type, I get no response. I can't figure why.
I also have Mail open on my dock, but when I double click it does not open mail and when I try to quit from dock or from toolbar, it doesn't close. What's up?

You could choose to open a word processing document instead of the page layout one, in the New template chooser.

I had to get a new keyboard and now the keys in the upper row are not working appropriately. How can I fix this problem?

My keyboard stopped working so I went to the apple store to replace it with another one. Now I am back home and the keys at the very top are not working correctly (volumn F12 shows the dashboard, F11 takes the screen up and away, F8 pause button shows spaces, etc.). What should I do to correct this problem - I assume I probably need to download some type of softwear but what? I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 desktop - 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

New network (and much more) monitor for XFCE panel

A few years ago I wrote a tiny app to show a text network monitor in the XFCE panel, resembling the previous one I was familiarized with (in KDE?).
The past month I started fixing a bug and ended in a full rewrite, but keeping the original simplicity (at least in the panel bar) despite that now reports far more than the network activity.
The installation instructions are the same: download a single file (no dependencies), compile it, add a Generic Monitor Applet (XFCE) to the panel and configure it to load the new executable.
I have updated the wiki page, but the full instructions and code is now hosted at github: "Hacker's Monitor for XFCE". Yes, it has a new name also.
Here follows a screenshot with the mouse over the applet to open the tooltip (yes, I was intentionally doing a dd from /dev/sda into /dev/null ):

E72 New Firmware and no more Call Log!!! Please he...

Hello. I just recently upgraded my Nokia E72-2 to version 051.018 and while most everything seems to still work (don't see any major improvements anywhere), I have completely LOST the ability to check my call logs!
If I click on Log from Applications, nothing happens at all.
All I get are missed call notifications on my home screen which never go away obviously as I can't ever "check" them in the Log. So, I have an ever-building list of missed calls in my home screen.
I can't redial anyone as pressing the "Call" button does nothing now.
Does anyone else have these issues? Anyone have a fix? Can we downgrade? I've tired soft reset, hard reset, re-install software...nothing works.
This is pretty ridiculous, Nokia.
Details:
Model: E72-2
Type: RM-529
Version: 051.018
Custom Version: 051.018C00_850.01

Just reset your phones.
I have V51 on my E72 and have never experienced any of the problems mentioned in this thread or in any thread related to the V51 update.
Start by doing a backup of the phone's memory to your memory card (that's in the file manager). Then do a soft reset by dialling *#7370# and providing your security code (the default on all Nokia handsets is 12345).
The phone will then reboot, wiped clean. Go straight into the file manager and restore your backup, and the phone should now work fine.
FWIW, whenever I get a new Nokia handset, the first thing I do is a reset, before even using the phone.

I I am trying to start a new catalog in the organizer and up loaded new elements

Iam having trouble with PSE 11. I uploaded new elements to day from PSE Basics and Beyond. It said it uploaded 100% but I COULD not go any further. the screen just froze. What is wrong? THis is the first time I have tried to use the organizer in 11. I checked not to import from version 10.. What do I do?

Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
Hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys and click Organizer. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
Select your catalog and click Repair. Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
- Try launching Organizer directly from the exe with Admin rights.
Thanks

Lightroom 5 hangs on import. New catalog, from local disk and from SD card.

Lightroom 5.7.1
Windows 7 64bit.
SSD, i5 16gb RAM
jpg or dng from Pextax K3
When importing photos to my catalog the import process hangs and doesn't import anything.
I have tried:
Deleting preference file
Importing from Desktop, Folder on HD, SD Card
Folder without Anything but 1 photo
Folder with Many photos
Created a new catalog and moved all photos across - the problem briefly went away and now is back.
7000 photos in this new temp catalog, but now the problem exists in my main (65k+) and temp (7k) catalogs.

Things to try:
Detach all USB devices except mouse, keyboard, external hard drives (in other words, phones and tablets and anything else), try importing
Temporarily disconnect from internet, disable virus checker and firewall, try importing

I would like to know what application I should use for this specific job. I have 6 photos in Iphoto, and I would like to print them out on one piece of paper with the title and key words showing. Please help.

My objective is to print photos on on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper (4 per page). I want to include the photo title and the photo key words.
I am not sure how to go about doing this.

In iPhoto, create an album with the images you want to print.
Once created, open the album and select all the images (type Command + A)
Go to the menu View and make sure Titles and Keywords are checked.
Go to the menu File > Print
Choose Contact Sheet
In the lower right corner press the customize button
In the next window that opens, at the bottom of the window change the column slider to "2"
You should be good to go. If OK, then press Print at the bottom right corner of the window.

Copy Catalog in Elements 10 to new catalog?

I want to create a new catalog made up of part of my existing one. I thought I could do this by copying my existing catalog to a new catalog and then simply deleting what I do not want in the new catalog, but I can't figure out how to copy the catalog. For both of these two catalogs, the image files will all remain where they are currently.

I would favor a second solution in your situation. Simply make a full backup before cleaning your catalog.
Not sure what happens in new versions of PSE, but making a full backup does not give you a copy of your catalog to work with, unless you also do a restore, which would of course include 2nd copies of all photos.
If the goal is to delete the original catalog once you are sure the copied catalog is ok, it is equivalent to having a backup before attempting a risky change in the catalog. If you are paranoid and don't trust a PSE backup, the only way to test it is to do a restore elsewhere. Not a bad idea (like having belt and suspenders...)
I totally agree with the dangers of having several catalogs. I think that's a good reason why Adobe provides an option to MOVE catalogs, not to DUPLICATE them, even if that's simple. The more I see posts about catalog problems, the more I think the full backup process in PSE is the best advice I can give. Users wanting to use alternative backup methods should absolutely understand how catalogs are stored and include the catalog folders paths into their backup procedure.
My only complaint about the backup process is that it does happen that a user thinks the backup is complete when it is not : missing, empty or corrupted catalog.tly file. There should be a test and confirmation process before issuing the 'restore complete' message. I don't have the problem because my backups have the dual purpose of safety and transfer to another computer : a backup is always followed by a restore.
