Not all NIK software plugins showing in LR Edit in Pull Down

I'm running MAC, 10.6.3 and NIK software all 5 plugins.
In LR 2 when I go to the EDIT IN pull down menu all of my NIK software were available.
NOW, Only one is available Viveza 2. Even if I go to LR pref it only allows me to designate one external editing program which is of course Viveza 2.
When I open Viveza 2 it works fine.
I'd like to have all 5 of my Nik plugins available in the LR Edit in pull down menu.
Any ideas?

It isn't obvious, but you can add as many external editors as you want. In Preferences/External Editing, hit the Choose button, select an application, then from the dropdown select "Save current settings as new preset". Repeat as needed.

Does Aperture show changes made using Nik Software plugins in its metadata?

I recently heard on a photography podcast that when you use one of the Nik Software plugins, Aperture records the changes made in its metadata. I have not been able to find this, but I hope its true. Please let me know where this can be found.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

It was the TWIP Podcast from a couple of weeks ago, and Scott Bourne was speaking. This is from the show notes:
"Scott points out that the one difference between the way Aperture handles and the way Lightroom handles it is that when it roundtrips back in Aperture it retains and edit list of the adjustments that were done so if you ever need to go back and see what you did you can see the steps and not have to guess at your changes."
Now that I am re-reading this, I am guessing that the info. is only available if you re-enter the plugin from within Aperture. Although it is not what I originally thought, it would still be pretty helpful. I will check it out tonight.

Is there a known problem with Nik Software Plugins and PSE10

I replaced my PC with a new 64-bit Windows 7 workstation. Have used PSE10 for a while for my cataloging and editing and I did 'trial' individual Nik Software plugins on my old Vista PC for a while. I decided to purchase the Nik Software collection and also to take the plunge and go to Lightroom 4 as well. I put PSE10 on my new PC as well because I want to consider how I might modify my workflow to use both in conjunction (perhaps LR4 for cataloging and PSE10 for editing)
When it came to installing Nik Software Plugins (they are supposed to plugin to Elements and LR4) it seemed to find some of the plugins compatible with both PSE10 and LR4 , some compatible with one of them and some not compatable (apparently) with either, but installed them anyway. But when I use PSE10 now I cannot go from the Organizer into the Editor, it loads the editor interface but not the image. If you open PSE Editor directly and open an image, the image will load and you see 4 of the plugins and I invoke them but the changes dont seem to get applied in PSE10. Then I started reading up on the web ..... and the consensus seems to be it is not a Nik Software issue but an Abobe editor plugin issue.
On a side issue, the retailer I bought Nik Software from sent me no product keys (they sent me Apple Aperture keys) - now they are about to replace my delivery with a fresh issue and proper keys ... but if I run into the same problems again, I dont know what to do. This leads me to looking for some definitive advice from those in the know!
Should I forget about buying Nik Software plugins altogether?
I see a download is available for LR4-2 .. does anyone know if this fixes Nik Plugin issues there?
I am minded to go the route of using LR4 as my cataloging preference but to call PSE10 Editor for editing and have all my plugins operate out of PSE10, but I could not get the plugins to work with PSE10 as mentioned. How does one get them to work?
Is there some workaround or special "way" or "order" to install things ???
I'm still waiting days for some support from Nik Software ... but they are just going to say there is nothing wrong with their product (and the web seems to concur)
Any help would be appreciated on the PSE10 Issue.

17/10/2012. I installed the update - Lightroom 4.2
It keeps the same product key and found the catalog and the Windows Control Panel only seems V4.2 so the original has been replaced with this upgrade.
This would be the first time I put down Lightroom with Photoshop Elements V.10 already there on the system and I suspect this might have helped with better integration between the 2 products.
I made sure I then opened Photoshop Elements V10 and I could edit an image (that the Organizer invocation to Photoshop Elements Editor did sucessfully load the image) and I could use existing plugins like Topaz and Noiseware. Also I made sure Lightroom 4.2 could use "Edit with Photoshop Elements " and it did.
The supplier who had sent me the wrong Nik Software product keys, sent me a corrected version with product keys for Lightroom
Several web articles I read on Nik Software plugins may be misleading (for example there is one on DPReview) which state that Nik Software plugins are compatable with Photoshop (the main product) but are NOT compatable with Photoshop Elements v10. I can tell anyone who uses Photoshop Elements 10 that they ARE compatable with Photoshop Elements 10, but it can be a little tricky to get them going.
This is how I sucessfully managed to get the Nik Software Plug-ins
working (finally) on both Lightroom and Photoshop Elements v10 at the same time
Remember my scenario ... I am putting together a new 64 bit Windows 7 PC and I want to be able to continue to use my Photoshop Elements v10 and also to delve into Lightroom for the first time. I had read all the blurb on Nik Software and it said the plugins were compatable with both and I had downloaded and tested some of them on an old PC anyway, so I knew the principle of installation and operation.
I had just bought the Nik SOftware Complete Collection in September 2012.
The box and the CD they come with .... this is where one of the problems is. Let me explain...
Step 1:
=======
Some of the components on the CD are up to date .. and when you elect to install them the sofware tells you that it has found both Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop Elements V10 and it installs the plugins no problem and they work. Make sure (in these cases) you take their defaults as to the locations the plugins are instlled to. Typically the dual install works for the following components
Nik Color Efex Prov V4
Nik Silver Efex V2
and the plugins go to
for Photoshop Elements v10 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Plug-Ins\
for Lightroom 4 C:\users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\External Editor Presets\
After each of the above 2 installs finished I invoked Photoshop Elements v10 first and opened an image in Editor and made sure the plugin was working and inserted my product key and activated it over the web. I then made sure it was also working in Lightroom 4.2 - it was!
Step 2:
=======
When it came to installing the Sharpener 3 component off the vendor's CD, it displayed NEITHER of the two applications on its compatability list at all. And there was no "+" sign where one can add one manually. Furthermore if you continue with setup.exe it crashes. I closed the EXE and confirmed there was no plugin in Photoshop Elements v10 as expected for Sharpener.
But when I went into Lightroom 4.2 it shows me the 2 Sharpener entities (the RAW and Output one). And I used it and proved the plugins were working through Lightroom 4.2 and I inserted my product key for it when invoking it for the first time via Lightroom 4.2 as well.
Then I went onto the Nik Software download site and downloaded a more updated version which was Sharpener Version 3.01. When I ran the installer from this download it actually does see and show both Photoshop Elements v10 and Lightroom 4.2 as "compatable" and it installed the plugins from that .. and they both work ... even though I had it working already (seemingly) from the CD install I obviously installed over it and the plugin still works in Lightroom 4.2. It also works now in Photoshop Elements v10. Only issue I had here was I had to re-insert my product key and activate it when I used the plugin via Photoshop Elements v10 for the first time... but if that is the extent of a techincal difficulty - I would take it anytime!.
Step 3:
=======
When it came to installing Viveza 2 off the CD, it only saw Lightroom 4.2 as compatable. I did something similar in this case. I let it install to Lightroom 4.2 as a plugin and proved it worked and activated its produvt key. Then I downloaded V2.009 off the website. I re-installed from it (over the Lightroom 4.2 one obvously again) and it now also sees Photoshop Elements 10 as compatable and installs correctly. Strangely enough I did not have to enter my product key a second time when I went to invoke the plugins via Photoshop Elements v10 in this case. What the hell! - the subtleties of software!
Step 4:
=======
Dfine 2.0 - the setup for the CD again finds NEITHER of the 2 applications on its compatablity list, but it put it into Lightroom 4.2 anyway (like the Sharpener component behaved) and I proved it worked. Then I downloaded version 2.112 from the Nik Software website and it finds both applications compatable. Also I did have to re-enter my product key when first invoking the plugin via the Photoshop Elements v10 editor (like as in the case of Sharpener)
Step 5:
=======
HDR Efex Pro (which comes on the vendors CD with a promise to a free upgrade to HDR Efex Pro 2) .... the setup.exe sees Lightroom 4.2 as compatable but does not see Photoshop Elements v10. Be careful ... this component is NOT A PLUGIN ... to see and use it in Lightroom 4 you must select photos and then do menu option EXPORT WITH PRESET HDR EFEX PRO. It does not work as a plugin within Photoshop Elements (any version) . I obtained my free upgrade too and it works from Lightroom. Dont even try to configure it manually as a plugin for Elements. Instead if you save files as JPG or TIFF you can open the EXE directly in the Program Files area (if you have 64 bit make sure to open that EXE not the 32 bit one) and you can use it in standalone mode. There is only one menu option within HDr Efex Pro when using it this way ... File-Open.
So to conclude ... (leaving HDR Efex aside because we know it will not plugin to Elements) ... I have them all working in both Lightroom and Elements. As I begin to learn Lightroom and move away from Elements for cataloging and edits, I know I can invoke most of my workflow plugins from both products. People say I should persist in Lightroom, but if for some reason I dont, I have the fall back position of having everything working out of Elements 10 anyway. It's been a bit of chore getting to this point, but others might find my workaround useful.

Nik Software Plugin loading time?

Is it me or does any of the Nik Software Plugins for Aperture take forever to load? I have a fast Macbook Pro and I have waited up to 5 minutes sometimes for Color EFex Pro to load. It just says preparing image for editing. Anyone know if there is a way to speed this process up? I also notice that it will open a lot faster if its been open for a while then I select a new image to work on then open another plugin. It will usually open faster that way. I am noticing this with all the plugins in the collection. The only one that loads fairly fast is Dfine.
Also on the topic of Nik Software plugins, I noticed this morning that after I did extensive editing to an image and clicked SAVE, it actually did not save once I looked at the image inside my library! Talk about ticked off! I had to close out of Aperture and open it back up and re edit that image again and when I hit save, it saved it.

I also had a number of Issues with NIK & CS5. I had an email from NIK that new 64bit HDR plug in was causing Silver effect pro to crash, they provided link to old SEP. I continued to have crashes with NIK Sharpen....so I was frustrated for quite a while......THEN...
I recently 'fixed' my system by deciding that a full 64 bit install was the "current Future state.
1) NIK has recently released (mid Nov) all of their plug ins as 64 bit. (finally !!)
2) I partitioned hard drive and did a fresh installed of Snow Leopard (10.6.5) on new partition.
3) I did a fresh install of Photoshop CS5 on this new hard drive partition.
4) I booted SNOWLeopard in 64 bit mode.
5) I enabled CS5 in 64 bit.
6) I downloaded and installed all NIK 64 bit plugins (on at a time) in the new partition. (I have them all)
7) My system works perfectly now...much faster...esp with CS5..
8) I went back to old partition and used app zapper and also hard deleted all nik plugins from old partion
8a) including: Applications, Applications/adobe/photoshop/plugins, user/system pref/nik....
Finally solution..Go 64 bit, with OS, Photoshop & plugins...

CS 4 with Nik Software Plugins

When I load Nik Software plugins into CS 4 it is not possible to use the "N Up" display options for tabbed document windows. The top part of the drop down box is simply blank. Adobe seems to be aware of this issue which perhaps not unreasonably they regard as Nik's problem. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Many thanks

This also happens with Imagenomic's Portraiture 2 plug-in. You can simply open and close the Imagenomic plug-in console from File > Automate, to have it corrected. Sticks only within PS sessions.

Not all of my emails show up in my iphone account. Only about two weeks worth - how can I access all of my inbox emails?

Not all of my emails show up in my iphone account. Only about two weeks worth - how can I access all of my inbox emails? I have hotmail and am not sure if this is a sync glitch or what...?

How are you accessing the "7 days" account: IMAP or POP?
Are there other computers accessing the same account?

I'm using home sharing But not all albums or artists show up as they do on my computer in itunes

I'm using home sharing with iTunes but not all artists or albums show up as they appear on the computer I'm looking at

Sure, but if I have International League Pass shouldn't there be a way to tap into that? I mean, if I can watch it on my computer, why can't I conveniently watch it on the television sitting right next to it via Apple TV. Seems odd...

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

How do i move my nik software plugins to photoshop creative cloud from cs5 on a mac

how do I move my Nik software plugins to PS creative cloud from PS cs5 on a mac?

I would reinstall it, seeing as there has been some issues with a new plugin that they released.

Had a hard time all of sudden opening photos in PS via Bridge. Updated all my software and now halfway through editing a photo, my actions don't work properly. Should I remove all programs and re-install?

TS4391 Does anyone know if this affects the Nik software plugins?

Apple says Aperture 3.4 is not compatible with some third-party plug ins. Does anyone know if this affects the Nik plugins?

I had the same question and asked NIK software support. Their reply was they are seeing no problems with Aperture 3.4. I subsequently upgraded to 3.4 without any problems and verified the NIK plug-ins work as they did before.
Note that NIK updated all their plugins on 13 Sept. I do not know whether you need the updates to avoid problems. I updated my plug-ins prior to upgrading to 3.4.

Preview is broken and when exported in Nik Software plugin, it's black or over bright

I'm working on a project for a Sail championship (last month the J24 European Championship, while this week Interlaghi) and since I started the last one I've really great problems with preview and "exporting" in Nik Software, that I never had before.
This is workflow:
shot image in raw (Canon eos500d)
import image in Aperture3 (images are refered on external drive normally, but now for this project are refered on the desk, I've an 256[GB] SSD with 8[GB] of RAM)
edit the image with Aperture3 controls, if I'm not lucky leaving the full screen the preview (big) dissapear and broken (small)
if I'm lucky open the image in Nik Software (e.g. Dfine) and work on it, when finished if unlucky back to point 3
if not luck the image in Nik Software is Black
so regenerate preview, and similar action are taken (last night I've also rbuilt all archive, with cmd+alt click aperture icon)
if luck I can work and export
if not luck I must close Aperture and keep crossed fingers.
At the begining I thought it could be a problem of too many images in the same folder and aperture-project (1800), but this is not the first time I work with big volume (airplanes shooting in Axalp normally is 1200 shots in one day).
I thought even a speed problem on the archive (the externa HD is 5200rpm on FireWire).
So I decided to relocate raw files on the desk, as I said I've a 256[GB] SSD; but nothing change!
Maybe a problem on TIFF export??
Someone can tell me a solution? the only big change in my usual workflow is that now there is Analog Efex Pro (that I don't use).
extra: I'm using a MacBook Pro (after june 2009 version 5,5 )
Here I post some screenshots:

Update!!!
I just discovered, that the problem is generated by Aperture3 bug: when I go on some image it change setting of CURVE and/or LEVEL

Outlook multi-day (not 'all day') meeting requests showing up as 1 day off on iphone attached Activesync Exchange 2010 accounts

Exchange 2010 SP2 Server
iPhone iOS 5.01 (4/4s) using ActiveSync
Outlook 2007 clients
When multi-day (not 'all day') meeting requests or appointments are being sent to email accounts which have an iPhone attached to the Exchange account via ActiveSync, the iPhone accepts the meeting request but then moves the event one day later than what it was originally scheduled and posts it to Outlook - also 1 day later than it is supposed to be.
For example: A meeting request comes into my that is schedule for 9AM-4PM M-W but when I accept it on my iphone it gets posted to my calendar as an ALL DAY event but T-Thu
We upgraded to Exchange SP2 because some of the threads were alluding that SP2 would fix it - it didn't. I know the fix is to rip out the event to separate calendar events but this will not work for reqeusts coming from outside. And this is too tedious. If anything, it is a serious bug.
Anybody seen this before?
Thanks,
Monty.

I am experiencing a similar problem with a client of mine who is using Microsoft's Cloud-based Exchange server, Office 365. I suspect the Office 365 server is an Exchange 2010 server, similar to your environment. Check out my tests below which I think define when the day shifting happens.
I see that you applied SP2 to your Exchange 2010 environment, but have you also applied Update Rollup 1? See this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324. It would be interesting to know whether that rollup resolves your problem.
I have done some pretty extensive testing and have posted in the Office 365 Support Forum (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/146/p/53396/192332.aspx#192332) Here is a summary of my testing.
I am having the exact same problem described by Jim Edmonds and jkwmail (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/176/p/19921/93304.aspx#93304) with one of my clients who is not very happy about this or our inability to resolve the problem. Here is what I am experiencing:
When an appointment in Office 365 spans multiple days, the appointment gets converted to an All Day Event and moved forward one day on an iPhone ActiveSync client.
I have completed the following troubleshooting:
1 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate single day appointments in the morning from each account spanning two hours and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
    Result: The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook, Office 365 webmail, and iPhone.
2 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate single day appointments in the afternoon from each account spanning two hours and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
    Result: The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook, Office 365 webmail, and iPhone.
3 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate multi-day appointments from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 AM from each account and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
    Result: The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook and Office 365 webmail. However, on my client's iPhone, the time on the appointments had changed to an all day event and the start date was shifted one day forward, Saturday, and the end date was Monday unless the appointment end time was after the appointment start time in which case it created an All Day Event on Tuesday as well. For Example: If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 8 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 8:30 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 7:30 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. This was also true for appointments starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 5 PM, starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 5:30 PM, and starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 4:30 PM as in the above AM examples.
*** Again I would like to note that on my iPhone which is connected to my company's MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 server, the multi-day appointment shows up correctly with correct start and end times and is not converted to an All Day Event. ***
It would seem this is a problem with ActiveSync on Office 365 and iOS devices. What is particularly frustrating is that this exact problem is identified in KB 2563324 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324) Issue 1.6 - "An appointment is longer than 24 hours is changed to a multi-day All Day Event" which states: "To resolve this issue, install Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2)." Since this is a cloud based service, we do not have the ability to either see what the current version of the Exchange service we are connected to is or update the service with this patch level.
4 - I performed the above three tests with my client creating the events in MS Outlook 2010 and inviting my work account on the MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server and got the exact same results.
5 - My client's iPhone is running iOS 4.3 and my iPhone is running iOS 5.1.0. In order to test this without going through the update process on my client's iPhone, I set up his Office 365 account on my iPhone and performed the tests in numbers 1-4 from above, viewing the results on my iPhone, and got the exact same results.
6 - Today, I tried this with a different Office 365 account, performed the multi-day test in number 3 from above and got the exact same results.
7 - Today I also upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.1.1, performed the multi-day test in number 3 from above and got the exact same results.
8 - I have confirmed that all time zones are set correctly. I have checked the iPhone, OWA, Office 365 Webmail, etc.
I believe the problem in my case is with the Office 365 environment and not the iOS device. However, trying to get support from these large companies seems to be very difficult?
Does anyone from Apple know if this is an iOS bug or a problem with Exchange 2010/Office 365?
Thanks...

Not all storedge 3310 disk showing up

I have a storedge 3310 hooked to my V440 running solaris 8 and not all the logical disks are showing up in the format command.

Some (not all) updates to playlist show up on mini

I created a new playlist and a new smart playlist in itunes, that doesn't show up on my ipod... I also deleted the on-the-go playlist, and that still shows up on the ipod, so theres obviously a problem w/ the updating. But I've also added new songs on an existing playlists, and they are showing up on the ipod, so not all updates are being affected. Any ideas? Should I reset?

Yeah, try to reset
Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your screen, then release those buttons. Try to do this while your iPod is plugged into your computer. Do you have your iPod set to manually or automatically update itself? For example, mine updates automatically..as soon as I plug it in my iPod automatically updates all my new songs without me clicking on anything.
