Problems with metadata being changed.

Recently I started getting a down arrow appearing on 'all new' imported images, informing me that Metadata has been changed in Lightroom. As I import directly from the CF card directly into LR, as a DNG copy and have been doing so for years with absolutely no problem, I don't know what has suddenly changed? I rang Adobe for support and after getting remote assisted help finally got it sorted, or so I thought. Today I imported some new RAW images, which appeared arrow free, (although I now see that arrows have reappeared on other recent 'unedited' imports), but as soon as I did any editing in the develop mode the arrows appeared again and I now have to manually save the metadata changes to disk which I have never done before. Can anyone help me with this issue? 

People have been complaining about spurious metadata-change indicators for years, since at least LR 3. Some of the bugs (e.g. with metadata fields containing newlines on Windows) were fixed in LR 4, but based on user posts, it seems that problems remain in LR 5.    Often, it seems that you've identified a workaround and the metadata-status indicators disappear, only to reappear later -- this is because LR is scanning for changes in background.
Do you renaming files automatically on import?  If so, you might try turning that off and see if that helps.
You can read other users' posts about this problem in the official Adobe feedback forum: Search results in Photoshop Family. Maybe they will give some clues for a workaround that works for you. 
Generally, though, a number of people just ignore the spurious indicators.  If you turn on the setting Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP, then the metadata gets correctly written back to the files very soon after any actual changes are made.  And you can then turn off the indicator in grid view via View > View Options > Grid View > Cell Icons > Unsaved Metadata.

    I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

  • Has anyone had problems with iCloud being blocked by corporate web security?

    Has anyone else encountered problems with iCloud being blocked by the web-security on company computers?   I never had any problems with me.com, but now it appears I will be unable to check my mail via any computer at work. 
    Since iCloud is a portal for high-volume image and file sharing, I can understand why the site would be blocked, but it's very frustrating that this possibility would not have been anticipated, and an alternate web-mail site been set up.  Otherwise many me.com subscribers may be left unable to use the iCloud web-mail portal via computers at work or at internet cafes that may block access to potentially risky websites.
    Has anyone figured out a back door to this problem? 

    I dont beleive its an iOS 5 Issue - i think its hardware...
    Simply because i have been running iOS 5 beta's since june and there were no issues with my iPhone 4.
    When i installed the GM on my iphone 4 (which is the same build as the public release) there were no issues with charging in my vehicle.
    Now, charging my iPhone 4S in my car is practically impossible.
    when i plug mine in, it will display the "Plugged" symbol on the battery display but not actually charge. the battery will still decrease.
    then it will randomly "disconnect" and not register that it is plugged in. then appear to be plugged in, then not, then plugged in, then not.
    This will repeat over and over again without actually charging and the charger being in the socket throughout.
    however yesterday i left it plugged in and my battery was 9% and after the strange plugged-in behaviour i noticed it was charging normally after about 20 mins in the car.
    But when i did the same journey time today, the battery wouldnt register at all.... charging has only been successful ONCE since 14th October on the iPhone 4s
    No idea whats up with it...
    anybody else?

  • Problem exporting metadata after changing capture time

    Hello, I've an odd problem with Lightroom (both 1.3 and 1.4).
    I've all my digital camera's photos organised with Lightroom. There was no problem until I tried to change some photo's capture time.
    In the beginning, the capture time shown by Windows' explorer matched with the one in Lightroom.
    But when I changed some photo's capture time, and then saved the new metadata information to the file... the capture time shown by explorer was two hours later than the hour in Lightroom... it's making my crazy.
    In addition I detected some things:
    - If I told Lightroom to read the file's metadata the issue stayed: the computer showing, for example, 14:00, and Lightroom 12:00.
    - If I exported a photo (Lightroom 12:00) the new file also shows 14:00.
    First, I thought it could be a problem caused by the timezone (GMT+1) and the Summer's time in Europe (I live in Spain). (It makes 2 hours...).
    But the big problem arrived when I discovered that, If I add a tag to the photos, the archive in the computer changes [I've marked that metadata is written automatically]... ¡and shows the correct time! So, it seems that, each time I change a photo's time, I'll need to add and then remove a tag...
    Does it have any sense?
    I would be very happy if someone could help me. Thank you very much. And sorry for my english.

    I'm coming completely crazy...
    without changing again the capture time (I won't use that feature again!) now it happens that some of my photos (it seems that they are the last hundreds photos i've taken) show an incorrect time in Lightroom, now one houre more than the real time.
    The time in Lightroom is incorrect, but Windows' file shows a correct time. I've done nothing unusual...
    What should I do? Stop using Lightroom? I liked it...

  • Problem with layout and changing content

    Hi, I`m new to Swing and I have a problem with layout.
    I want to make a menu using JButtons so that depending on which button you click you`ll get different content in the window. And first of all I don`t know how to center the buttons.
    I have a JFrame called GameWindow that has a JPanel field called content. My idea was to create a JPanel with buttons and then using ActionListeners change the JPanel held in 'content'.
    Here`s the code:
    public class GameWindow extends JFrame{     
         private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
         private JPanel content;
         private Player player;
         public GameWindow(){          
              super("Dawn Crystal");
              Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
              setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
              setSize((int)screenSize.getWidth(), (int)screenSize.getHeight());
              setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
         public void mainMenu(){
              content = new MainMenu(this);
              Dimension dim = content.getSize();
              setLayout(null);                    
              Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
              int x = (int)((screen.getWidth() - dim.getWidth()) / 2);
              int y = (int)((screen.getHeight() - dim.getHeight()) / 2);
              int dimX = (int)dim.getWidth();
              int dimY = (int)dim.getHeight();          
              content.setBounds(x, y, 120, 120);          
              getContentPane().add(content);          
              setVisible(true);
         public void adventureScreen(){
              //so far empty
         public void createNewPlayer(){
              content.setVisible(false);
              content = new NewPlayerCreationWindow();
              getContentPane().add(content);          
              content.setVisible(true);
              //setVisible(true);
         public void setPlayer(Player p){ player=p; }
    public class MainMenu extends JPanel{     
         private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;     
         private JPanel mainMenuButtons;
         private JButton newGame;
         private JButton loadGame;
         private JButton options;
         private JButton exit;
         public MainMenu(GameWindow par){
              mainMenuButtons = new JPanel();     
              //create buttons
              newGame = new JButton("NEW GAME");
              loadGame = new JButton("LOAD GAME");
              options = new JButton("OPTIONS");
              exit = new JButton("EXIT");
              //create action listeners
              newGame.addActionListener(new NewGameListener());
              exit.addActionListener(new ExitListener(par));     
              //add buttons to panel
              mainMenuButtons.setLayout( new GridLayout(4,1));
              mainMenuButtons.add(newGame);
              mainMenuButtons.add(loadGame);
              mainMenuButtons.add(options);
              mainMenuButtons.add(exit);     
              add(mainMenuButtons);          
    }When it displays the buttons are at the top of the frame rather than in the center - I thought that was how the default layout would behave. So that`s my first question - how to center it.
    Secondly I have NewPlayerCreationWindow written but when I call createNewPlayer() I get an empty frame - what am I doing wrong?
    Finally I`d like to ask how can I make the frame appear as maximized when the application is started? The setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); doesn`t help actually because the window`s height is too big and a part of window is hidden under the system bar. I want to have it maximized regardless of screen resolution.

  • Problems with metadata in Bridge CS3

    We have a couple of problems:
    Problem 1: Every time images are rotated we are losing the embedded metadata?
    When an image arrives from a photographer and shows an orientation of 90° in the camera exif metadata (as seen in Bridge) we have to rotate it (or just resave it in Photoshop) so that it appears the right way up. This causes it to lose its metadata.
    Obviously if we do all the rotating BEFORE we input metadata then this isnt a huge problem.
    However it is a problem if the images arrive with metadata that we would like to keep.
    Problem 2 Weve noticed that Bridge doesnt always write metadata to a file across the server. Weve run tests to check this: we write metadata to a file using Bridge but when we open the image in Photoshop its not there. Is this a known fault?
    Thank you very much for any help,
    Susannah

    According problem 1: this is not normal behavior and you could try first to restart Bridge holding down option key to reset the preferences.
    But if you experience this also on the server I don't know if this solutions works. And according to problem 2, you should open a case on Adobe support using the little contact button top right on this page, not many users (including me) of this forum are using a server or know a lot about of that workflow :-(
    You could try a forum search also on the word server (Search for forum only works when you are on the mainpage with al the post for Bridge for some strange reason...)

  • Weird problems with CSS being applied to JSF pages

    I have this really weird problem with my CSS rules being applied to my JSF pages. My CSS rules don't get applied unless one of the following two things happen:
    - A page is reloaded (by redirecting to itself, or if there were validation errors)
    - The previous page in the history had the same relative reference to the same CSS file.
    If a page is newly loaded, and the previous page did not have that same CSS reference, the CSS styles will not show up. Also, if the above is true, and the page is reloaded by JSF, the CSS styles show up.
    Now, my problem could be solved if I put all JSP files in the same level, but the display of the first page would still be without the CSS style applied.
    Is this known behaviour? And if it is, does it have anything to do do with the way JSF handles URLs (always one level back)? Help and input is kindly appreciated!

  • Problem with Doc type change in ME51n

    During ME51N, when I change the document type of PR system keeps on Processing/busy mode, takes long time (almost 5min) to effect the doc type change in drop down.
    there is no processing time taken if i enter the  the other data in the transaction like quantity,Plant,Purchasing organisation.
    So my Problem is that system takes too much type only when I try to change the Doc Type of PR in ME51N.
    (Note: In debug mode I try to locate the pain point, I noticed that system stuck at module 'Even_pie_finished'...there it keeps on processing continuously.)
    Please input on problem. I am putting this on MM forum at times.

    Thanks for Reply,
    But the Problem is not on changing the Doc type rather Problem is with too much time taken by system when I try to change the doc Type of PR. Prerequisites related to changing the doc type are there in place.
    System goes in into processing mode for long time movement I change the Doc type.
    Jurgen sir, Dev & Prasoon please suggest some input.
    Just to correct in my question module name is 'event_pai_finished'
    There must some infinite loop is getting executed in programme i guess.

  • Problems with Hotmail being delivered to phone

    This has been problematic since I got my first smartphone two weeks ago. It would not receive e-mail at all, and gave me an error message saying the account password was incorrect. (It was not, I've had the same password for a few months) Then it cleared up, and the phone was receiving e-mail from my Hotmail account live for a couple of days, over the weekend. Now it does not appear to be syncing automatically, and when I sync it manually I no longer receive the error message, just no e-mail is being delivered at all?!! Anyone else having this problem? Any advice? 

    I had the same problem with my Droid Razr M. Kept on getting error messages such as you're getting. Read in another community to delete the Hotmail account from the "Email Folder." I might add, check the settings and write down all the information, such as port numbers, etc. before you erase the account. Than add the Hotmail account to the folder marked "Other." This seemed to do the trick for me. Another thing you might try is to download an Email server from the Google Play. There are several of them, and some are free. I downloaded GO Email, and it works like a charm.
