Not updating xmp files

For some reason my Lightroom has stopped writing to the *.xmp files for changes I have made. How can I correct that?

Thanks I had already made that change and noted the files were being updated, but yesterday I updated about 100 files and none of them came across to the xmp file. Not sure why. I rebooted my computer and it seems fine now. Thanks for your quick response it does seem to be working correctly now.

CS3 not reading xmp files generated in CS2.

CS3 is not reading xmp files generated in CS2.
If I open a raw file that was adjusted in ACR in PSCS2 with PSCS3 it does not recognize the adjustments that were made to the file.
PSCS3 opens the file in ACR with the default settings and I lose all of the adjustments and crops.
Is anyone else having this problem. If so: is their a fix or a stting I should use?

First. make sure you have updated to Bridge 2.1.0.100.
2nd, Purge the Cache from the TOOLS menu in Bridge.
3rd, Delete and rebuild your Bridge preferences by holding down the Option key (Command+Option, or Command+Option+Shift work as well) immediately after launching the application.
4th, if that doesn't work, make a fresh, new Mac account and log in as a different user.
Then report back.

Local adjustment brush, not in XMP file

Local adjustment brush, not in XMP file
I shoot everything on location and make minor edits while on location. My location edits usually transfer with the XMP file. I used the new local adjustment tool while on location, however when I got back to my main workstation and transferred the images the local adjustments were not there. Can this be fixed somehow, as it would be nice to only make those edits only once? I do not use as a catalog program, once the job is complete it is removed from the lightroom catalog so again those local adjustments are gone.
Thanks
Mark

The problem may be and I am only guessing here that because no other program
currently supports the adjustment brush options that that information is not
added to XMP file. Not even Photoshop or ACR supports that as of yet. Though
I honestly would have expected that information to be there anyways it would
just be ignored by programs that don't know what to do with (basically
everything but LR 2.0).
Have you tried using DNG files. From what I understand an XMP file it not
needed as the information that is normally in a XMP file in kept inside of
the DNG file. This maybe another reason to go with the DNG format.
Good luck.

LR not writing XMP files in an exisitng catalog

Hi Folks
My problem is regarding XMP files. I read on a couple of forums that turning on the xmp files is a good idea...... (Automatically write changes into xmp) OK so I thought lets try it....
If I turn this option on in my existing catalog it does not work, no xmp files are written.
I have tried creating a new catalog and importing some RAW files and it seems to work just fine..... xmp files are created as expected.
So is this option only for new catalogs or can I use it on existing catalogs....
Many thanks in advance
Regards
batandball
My config is the following
LR 5.7
Win 8.1

The files that were previously imported prior to the activating the "Auto write to xmp" will have to be updated using the menu bar> Metadata> and selecting the option to write to xmp. (or Ctrl-S)
Be aware that the develop module edits saved as xmp is only useful to an equivalent version of Adobe Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop.

Camera Raw 6.7 does not save XMP files

I am running Camera Raw 6.7 on a Windows XP machine.
In the Preferences under "General" I have the "Save image settings in" set to "Sidecar ".xmp" files.
And in the DNG File Handling, I do NOT have the "Ignore sidecar ".xmp." file check-box checked in.
But still when I alter a raw file and press Done the DNG file changes date/size and no XMP-file is
created in the directory. Also when Ioad the picture and "reset" it to "Camera Raw Default" and
press Done, the next time I open it is in the "Image settings" state anyway
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be ?
Regards,
Klas

ACR not using .xmp files after 03/09/2011

I'm using ACR 6.4.1.145 and Bridge CS5 on a Windows 7 x64 Pro machine. Canon S95 and G12 CR2 files created before 04/09/2011 behave exactly as they should: changes aved in .xmp files are recognized and applied in Bridge thumbnails and when the image is re-opened in ACR.
Images created on 04/09/2011 and any later date (tested by altering the file dates) have their changes saved in an .xmp file, but this file is not applied to the thumbnail in Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail does not indicate the .xmp file exists, and the .xmp changes are not applied when the image is reopened unless the .xmp file is loaded manually.
I have purged the cache, restarted Bridge, and restarted Windows. I've moved the images to a different directory, then a different drive. I've loaded the images from the SD card several times now. The problem persists.
All assistance appreciated.

Thanks Thomas.
I am pretty sure the CR2 files don't contain any .xmp data. For one thing, the problem only occurs on my installation. If I use another computer, everything works as it should.
The problem has returned, however. I just tried to make changes in ACR to images created today, and although ACR saves the .xmp, it does not recognize it when I open the image again. I have to load the .xmp manually.
I will bet that tomorrow, the problem has gone away. That would make it somehow time/date dependent. More important to you and anyone else trying to help, it seems to happen only on my installation of CS5. Something has gotten corrupted, I think. If the problem persists, I will probably try a re-install, but I hate the patching proces that follows.

[fixed] rsync - not updating existing files?

I am using rsync extensively to backup various machines to a central server (all archlinux, latest versions on ext4). Yesterday I needed one of those backups, and I found out it is as good as useless, since a lot of files never got updated. Even when I enable checksumming the file is not updated. I am pretty sure I am missing something, but am not sure what it is.
The command I use:
rsync --stats --verbose -xaz --append --delete-during --delete-excluded \
--exclude=[cC]ache/ --exclude=.thumbnails --exclude=.Trash*/ --exclude=*.mp3 \
--exclude=qemu/ /home/user /etc \
backup@servername:clientname/
new files get transferred fine, and some files get updated as well. But not everything; here are some examples:
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup nobody 1445 Jan 11 2009 profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup nobody 618 Jan 30 2008 profile.bash
drwxr-xr-x 2 backup nobody 4096 May 5 10:38 profile.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup nobody 2510 Jan 11 2009 protocols

-rw-r--r-- 1 backup nobody 160 Mar 14 2009 resolv.conf

Okay, the solution was pretty simple, I was using --append, but that is only meant for files that you know will increase in size. Since that isn't the case when backup up /etc/, that flag isn't very useful.

IWork apps not updating iCloud files automatically

My iWork apps (pages, keynote, numbers) on my MacBook Pro quit updating iCloud files automatically. Also the apps will not show files created or updated on my iPhone or iPad automatically. If I restart or shut down my MacBook Pro, then the iCloud files are updated at the launch of the iWork app. The iWork apps were updating the iCloud files antomatically until two days ago. I am looking for suggestions on how to get the automatic iCloud file update feature working again.

Yes I am using Mountian Lion. Automatic syncing was working great up to about 2 days ago. Then it just quit. I could turn the mac off and back on and it would sync, but still would not automatically. None of my troubleshooting tricks fixed the issue. Finally I reinstalled Mountian Lion and now the iWorks apps are syncing. I still don't the know the reason for the issue, but a complete start over solved the issue for now. Thanks for your comments.

ITunes not updating audio files on iPhone 4s

On Mac 10.7.2, iTunes 10.5.1, and iOS 5.0.1. I have made changes to the genre of a few of my audio files but they are not updating on iTunes. iTunes appears to go through the entire process of syncing but no changes are made. I'm assuming I'm not the only one this has happened to so are there any known solutions?
Thanks!

oh no!! try doing a reset

Dreamweaver Template files not updating other files

I took over a website and the site uses Dreamweaver Templates. I'm not too familiar with the way that Templates works. Anyway, the nav (links at bottom of website) need to be updated. I updated the secondary.dwt file within the Templates folder. I uploaded it, but it's not updating the pages on the website that use this template file. Please help!

When you update the template from within DW, you should get a dialog asking if you want to update all of the files that use the template. When you click "OK" everything is updated across the site.
If you updated the template outside of the defined site, it won't update anything and you may have a bit of work on your hands.
In DW, you should have a Files tab with a drop down menu. The drop down menu should have all of your defined sites. Choose the site you are working on and a list of the files in that site will appear. Choose the template and make your changes and it will ask if you want to update everything else.

"Automatically Write Changes into XMP" Not Saving XMP Files

I tried finding some other discussions on this but I couldn't seem to find anything...
I recently checked the "Automatically Write Changes into XMP" setting in my "Catalog Settings". However, as I continue to add pictures to my library and make changes, I do *not* see the XMP files being written to the location of the pictures (Nikon NEF files located on my hard-drive). In fact, I can't find the XMP files anywhere. If I want to output the XMP files I have to do a Ctrl + S (Photo --> Save Metadata to File).
I did notice that when I unchecked the setting and re-checked it, *some* of the XMP files showed up. However, in my import of 24 photos, only 14 had XMP files. I had to manually "Save Metadata to File" to get the XMP sidecar files to show.
Am I doing something wrong? Is something not working right? I'm a bit confused. I assumed it would automatically export the sidecar files.
How often should it be outputting XMP sidecards? If I import a new image should the XMP sidecar file be created? Or is it created the first time I change an original picture?
I am using Adobe Lightroom 2.0 (Camera Raw 4.5) on a Mac OS X 10.5.5.

@Eric: hitting cntrl+s works but can be tedeous on large galleries. I've been doing this but it can be a pain.
@Jeannine: different topic than this thread but to answer anyways... Lightroom automatically saves all changes into your catalogue. You never need to dave your changes (here's the kicker though) as long as you do not move the original file. If you
move the file than lightroom won't know that it's the same image as the one you've edited. Once you are done editing your image you will need to "export" the image to a new file (you don't wan to overwrite the original). If you don't export than only lightroom will have your edits. Lightroom is "non-destructive" Which means that it doesn't touch your original photo. Lightroom keeps a text file containing the instructions on what you did to make the edited version. Since your changes are just text inatryxtions you have to "export" the image to get your final image in a version you can put online, print, etc. But to answer your original question, I think you prob moves the original image. If not, could you give us more info?

Bridge CS5 not recognizing xmp files created on CS6?

An employee of mine edited several shoots, using her own computer. She has CC and used Camera RAW. I still use CS5 and am trying to process the files she edited (I have the RAW and the xmp files). Typically, I process these through Bridge. However, Bridge doesn't seem to recognize her xmp files. Any ideas on 1. why this is happening, and 2. how I can apply her xmp files when converting the RAW to jpeg? We are talking about 1500 images. Thanks!

What camera model is she using? What camera raw version are you using on your CS5? Is her camera model supported by your cs5 acr?
Perhaps she could process her raw files+xmp into dng files to pass on to you.

Template not updating online files

I use one template for 62 files which I have already
uploaded. I made a change to the template which updated my files
offline but do I have to re-upload all these files again? When I
just upload the template, none of the other files online
automatically updated. This is my first use of templates and I
assumed that if you modify the template then the change will carry
over to each associated file that already resides on the server
which would be great. What should I do to keep from having to
re-upload each file after I make a change to the template?
Thanks, Steve

>>do I have to re-upload all these files again?
Yup. That's hw Templates work.
>>What should I do to keep from having to re-upload
each file after I make a
>>change to
>> the template?
Nothing you can do, again it's just how Templates work. You
can however read
about server side includes (ssi) in DW Help and other places
(Google) and
use them to replace some pieces of your Template. For example
put your menu
(navigation) in an Include file. Change just that file when
you need to
modify your menu. Then upload just that Include file and it
will be (what
else?) *included* in all your pages.

Templates Not Updating .ASPX Files in Dreamweaver CC

I have website based on .ASPX pages. I have successfully used templates (.DWTs) to update .ASPX pages page in Dreamweaver versions through CS6. I installed CC and updating the templates no longer seems to update .ASPX pages. It seems I have to open each .ASPX page in the site and choose Modify > Template > Update Current Page and then save the page. Is there a better way to update the pages in the .ASPX website?
I originally posted this in the "Develop server-side applications in Dreamweaver" form, but it was suggested that this would be a better place to post it.

I decided, after the New Year, to migrate my clients (I support 75 websites) from Microsoft Expression Web to Dreamweaver. I bought the latest version (CC) and started my first migration of an Expression DWT to Dreamweaver. I should not have picked a site with 125 pages. I cannot believe that when I change a DWT the changes are not cascaded to the 125 linked ASPX pages. With Microsoft dropping Expression support, where in the world are we supposed to turn for a really good, modern, design platform. I'm calling Adobe to terminate my subscription as this simply will not work. I downloaded the installed the Extension Manager, installed and enabled the .ZXP files for ASP support and it still doesn't work. Really, seriously, disappointed. I was really looking forward to learning this new platform, but I'll have to stay with Microsoft Expression for now...
