? on photo - file found but only linking that one photo even when the box is checked.

In Lightroom Library, a set of photos all have ?? question marks.. SO when I begin to link to the file, it is not linking the whole folder.. but only one at a time.  What can I do?

what happened was files were moved outside lightroom, and its having trouble locating them...
Locate missing photos
Sometimes the link between the catalog and a photo breaks. When that happens, Lightroom displays a Photo Is Missing icon in image cells in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. In the Develop module, Lightroom indicates that the photo is offline or missing. Links between a catalog and its photos can break for a variety of reasons, including because photos are moved in the operating system instead of from within Lightroom, or because photos are stored on an external drive that is offline. If the drive is offline, turn it on.
(Optional) In the Library module, choose Library > Find Missing Photos to display missing files in the Grid view.
Click the Photo Is Missing icon in a thumbnail cell in the Grid view.A dialog box opens and displays the last known location of the missing photo.
Click the Locate button, navigate to where the photo is currently located, and then click Select.
(Optional) In the Locate dialog box, select Find Nearby Missing Photos to have Lightroom search for other missing photos in the folder and reconnect them as well.
you are going to want to do the #4, to reconnect all of them.

Ps. if that doesn't work, trying synching your folders:
Synchronize folders
When you synchronize folders, you have the option of adding files that have been added to the folder but not imported into the catalog, removing files that have been deleted, and scanning for metadata updates. The photo files in the folder and all subfolders can be synchronized. You can determine which folders, subfolders, and files are imported.
In the Folders panel, select the folder you want to synchronize.
Choose Library > Synchronize Folder.
In the Synchronize Folder dialog box, do any of the following:
To import photos that appear in the folders but have not been imported in the catalog, select Import New Photos. If you select Show Import Dialog Before Importing, you can specify which folders and photos are imported.
To remove photos that have been deleted from the folder but not from the catalog, select Remove Missing Photos From Catalog. If this option is dimmed, no files are missing. (You can choose Show Missing Photos to display the photos in Grid view.)
To scan for any metadata changes made to the files in another application, choose Scan For Metadata Updates.
Click Synchronize.
If the Import Photos dialog box opens, specify the folders and files you want to import, and then click Import.

  • Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event??  It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time.  But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars.  Any help??

    I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar.  I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts".  But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days.  I want to change that in my calendar.  When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event.  no problem....just this single event.  but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event.   can anyone help with this???  am i doing something wrong?  is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program???  i used to do this and never had any problems.    Thank you!

    You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
    what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
    The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
    Exactly what you you trying to do?

  • On Mac OSX, Firefox partial download files (.part) are remaining in my downloads folder, even when the download completes successfully.

    Starting about a month ago, when downloading files using Firefox on my Mac (OSX 10.6.4, FF 3.6.12 currently), my downloads folder is showing .part files for successfully downloaded files. They cannot be deleted, and only show up in Downloads "stack". In Finder, the Downloads folder show no evidence of the .part files. I cannot delete the .part files either. Only a reboot seems to clear the problem.
    It is as if the .part files aren't actually there, even though they are being displayed in the Downloads stack.

    Open firefox and in the menu, go to:
    Tools > Options
    Choose the "General" section (light switch icon)
    There should be a downloads block there. It says something like "Save files to [_____________][Browse...]"
    you should be able to click on browse and see where the folder is located. Then hit CANCEL (so you don't change it by mistake before you have found it for sure)
    Once you have found the files, if you would like, you can go back in and change the location setting to somewhere you would prefer if you do not like where they are saving to.

  • In Photoshop CS5, my eraser tool fades an image but doesn't erase pixels entirely, even when the hardness is at 100%

    I don't know when exactly this started, but I can't figure out how to get the eraser tool to just work as an eraser again

    In iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete and re-enter the information for that account
    Or better yet IMHO set Apple Mail as the e-mail client

    I HIGHLY suggest He create a new AppleID for himself.
    He can do it now then simply use the new AppleID when he gets the iPhone.
    Best suggsetion its to have a computer login for him wtih is own iTunes and then he will have his own contacts, calendars and all other data.
    He can do that now & set up iCloud then when he gets the phone, he can simply enter his AppleID and its done.

  • I have an I Mac and Mac Book Pro and want photo stream on both but only permanently on one

    I have an I Mac, Macbook Pro, Ipad, Iphone and ipod touch that under my id and then my son and wife both have Iphones. I want photo streaming on all my devices and my wifes but only want pictures to be permanent on the I Mac. How do I do this

    To make an exact "clone" of the i7 hard drive on the MBP hard drive you could:
    use Target mode to mount the MBP on the i7 (as if it were an external drive) OS X Mavericks: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    use CarbonCopyCloner to make a clone of the i7 on the MBP drive. Mac Backup Software - Carbon Copy Cloner
    It would be easier, however, to just set up file sharing between the two computers, and then they would just have access to each other's files. OS X Mavericks: Share your files
    An even better option is to use some cloud based option for sharing the files, like iCloud Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.  or Dropbox. Dropbox  Then you could open a file on either Mac, and work on it, and it would sync with the other Mac automatically. You could make changes on a file on one Mac, and then when you open the file on the other Mac the changes would be there. And you could also share files easily with others.

  • It has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware.

    it has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware?

    The way something "feels" is very subjective.  We would need to know your actual temps.  You can install the free iStat Pro widget which is available as a download directly from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    Let us know what CPU temps you're seeing at the time you feel your machine is hot.  As you indicated your CPU usage was only 10%, that would imply that you already know that heavy CPU usage would be one cause for your machine to be running on the warm side... but that doesn't seem to be the cause here.

    Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

  • How can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458  it does not show the full 10 digit

    how can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458  it does not show the full 10 digit so on your block page will not let me block it!!!  So frustrated and I am not answering it with all the hackers out these days I don't want to give them access to my phone.

        @lottsandy
    I can understand your frustrations and concerns with receiving these unknown calls!  I would love to assist you with preventing these types of calls.
    Sounds as though you're receiving some type of telemarketing call.  Although you're unable to add the shorter numbers to your call block list, you can definitely add your number to the National Do Not Call registry http://1.usa.gov/1whONxp.  I hope this will help prevent those unwanted calls.  Thanks!

    I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

    Thanks for the links, Limnos.
    If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
    Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
    username-->Music-->iTunes
    HD-->iTunes
    I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
    Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
    - I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
    - also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
    You say:
    /itunes/itunes media/ music
    but it is important to note what comes before all that.
    There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
    Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
    Does that give more clarity into my problem?

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.

    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped
