PS 10 flagged my photos offline when they haven't moved

Photoshop 10 suddenly has flagged all of my photos as "offline". They have not moved from my J drive. Catalog manager shows the catalog as being on the J drive. However, individual photo properties now show them on the F drive. I have not moved anything. I don't even have an F drive. How do I get Photoshop to understand that the photos are still on the J drive?

Before jumping to a conclusion, let's see your questions:
Why are there 3 records in the Volume table? All of my photos are under a single directory in Windows.
Each time you 'enter' media files in a catalog, the organizer reads the info in Windows explorer to find and record - the drive identification - the full path on that drive - the type of the drive. An internal identifier in the database is created if that drive is not already known. All recorded drives stay in the table, even if the media files are deleted from catalog. By default, the organizer creates two entries in the table even if you don't enter any media. One is of the type database_relative_drive; if no media is present, there is a 'dummy' entry type no_drive.
If you have two drives with the same letter and different serial number or type, they will have separate entries... and the organizer won't know how to interpret the data. That may happen in various situations : you know that if you have a F: external drive and you plug-in other thumb drives before, the Explorer will assign it another letter; or you may have a 'cloned' drive from a drive previously in your computer with another serial number. So, in your case, I can't know why there are 3 records. A screenshot of your volume_table might help.
Is the catalog db fully normalized? That is, is the entry in the Volume table the only place that has metadata about the physical device used for the storage of the photos?
Yes. The record in the volume table is identified by its internal 'id' field.
You can verify that in the media_table : each record (for each media file) show the field 'volume_id' which corresponds with the abobe 'id'. There is no other place to see a drive letter or drive serial number.
What steps do I take to get the PSE Catalog Manager to recognize an existing catalog file? I do not understand the difference between “new” and “convert”.
In your volume_able you should have a record in which:
- the 'id' is the internal drive identifier (the one present in each record of the media_table, as indicated above)
- the drive letter used by the explorer
- the serial number of the drive you have found via the DOS vol command in decimal.
- the type 'built-in drive'
Of course, you should not have twice the same letter or serial, you should delete unwanted duplicated records. All this can be made from the sqlite manager.
The button 'new' creates an empty catalog
The button 'convert' is used if your files and catalogs have not been moved, but you have installed a newer Elements version. The old catalog is read and a converted copy is created.
You are now able to correct the catalog (rather a copy of the catalog not to run any risk) to reflect the present situation. I would not bother now to move the media files or change the drive letter, I would create a working catalog; the rest can be done afterwards when everything is working and you are able to create a backup from the catalog manager.
Modify the last record in the Volume Table:
ID same as existing to maintain referential integrity with other tables.
Description: I will enter “C:”
Serial: the VOL gives the serial as “BAAC-DC6B”. I should enter “47788-56427”. (Should I enter without the hyphen? That is, enter “4778856427”?)
Drive-path-if-built-in: I will enter “C:”
Type: I will enter “builtin-drive”
Use Catalog Manager to point PSE to the catalog now on the C drive. Should I move the catalog to the “default” location? Where is that?
Hopefully by moving to a more traditional configuration I will minimize the potential for confusing PSE (not to mention myself).
What do you think?
You must keep only one good record and delete the wrong duplicates.
- without the hyphen
- to open the organizer with the new catalog on C, simply double click the catalog.pse10db file. The catalog manager will remember the location.
- A catalog (or catalog copy) will work independently from the location of its folder. You can move the folder as you wish. If you want it to be on the default location, simply use the 'move' button in the catalog manager and choose 'accessible to all users' instead of 'custom'.
Once again, you don't run risks in working with a catalog copy. And even if we don't know the reason of the database corruption, the important thing is to get the catalog working.

Imacs go offline when they sleep

Hi,
I have 11 intel imacs and use ARD to admin them but when they sleep they seem to sever the network connection resulting in a communication error when I try to remotely wake them. Also I wanted to look into the use of them as Logic Pro nodes for our main studio G5 but as they sleep the nodes get disconnected.
Anyone know how to disable the network sleep?

As mentioned, your network connection will be dropped when your Macs sleep. There are utilities out there like Wake550 that will allow you to wake your Macs over the network. I have never used it, but have heard good things about it.

Images showing offline when they are not - sequence plays fine

I'm using FCE 4.0 and when I open a project that I've been working on for weeks, some of the pictures in one of my directories are showing as offline.
When I go into that bin and click on an offline photo, it shows me the thumbnail and I some of the other pictures which are offline are now visible and other previously visible pictures are now showing offline.
I can play the entire sequence and everything is available and plays fine. I just can't see the photos to add them to my project.
any thoughts?

Maybe I am stupid but if you delete the imagefolder, it will be gone. You can set your default imagefolder: goto Media-> Camera-> Settings-> Use Memory-> Card. You can also backup your card to PC, reformat the card in your phone, because it makes default maps for images, video, audio,.........and then copy your images back to the specific folder.

V1.5.3 - 'diff' tool flags things as different when they are the same

Using the 'diff' tool to compare databases. Resultant 'diff' script contains a lot of statements like this :
ALTER TABLE "tabl1" MODIFY ("column1" NOT NULL ENABLE);
.. but when i run them on the target, it tells me that the columns are already not null. No, i'm not running on the wrong db. In fact running that command on both the source and destination dbs elicits the same error :
Error starting at line 1 in command:
ALTER TABLE "tabl1" MODIFY ("column1" NOT NULL ENABLE)
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01442: column to be modified to NOT NULL is already NOT NULL
01442. 00000 - "column to be modified to NOT NULL is already NOT NULL"
*Cause:
*Action:
Additionally, the 'diff' script when asked to compare functions includes the function definition in it's output. However running that on the target and then re-running the diff still flags that function as different.

Further, i had a table defined in both db, same columns different column lenght :
CREATE TABLE CDB_R_FIRMS_ADDRESSES
INT_FIRM_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
ADDRESS_UUID VARCHAR2*(50 CHAR)* NOT NULL,
ADDRESS_TYPE INTEGER NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE CDB_R_FIRMS_ADDRESSES
INT_FIRM_ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
ADDRESS_UUID VARCHAR2*(200 BYTE)* NOT NULL,
ADDRESS_TYPE NUMBER NOT NULL
.. and 'diff' failed to spot the difference! If 'diff' does not consider '50 char' different to '200 byte', what does it consider a difference ?Am i not using 'diff' as it was intended ?

GW V2.0.4 shows user offline when they are really online?

I have just upgraded our GW messenger from V1 to V2.0.4. I have just one issue with one user(A). user(A) has user(B) added to her contact list but user(B) shows offline even when user(B) is online. I have no problems talking to user(B) nor does anyone else. User(B) also shows that user(A) is online but not vice versa. User(A) always has to wait for user(B) to start a conversation. I have tried deleting, adding user(B) for user(A), i've uninstalled/reinstalled the client and have had no luck. I know something like this was posted a while back but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas/suggestions or even the answer for the fix?

TS3899 Why do I receive e-mails but not all the mail are indicated, the rest say they have been read when they haven't

My wife & I have an Ipad each, & both of us have the same problem. When we have received our e-mails only certain ones give notice of arrival, & the rest go straight to trash. How can we stop this. I can't find any settings to alter it & this is a problem as most are wanted.Thanks.

What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.

ITunes re-syncs all photos even if they haven't changed

I've found that when syncing my iPhone or iPad, some times, iTunes decides to resync all the photos on the device (i.e. wipe and the sync again).
I've not changed any of the photos so am not sure what's triggering this.
My configuration is set up to simply sync all photos from one of my folders (iPod Photos)
The strange thing is that this issue seems to occure randomly - i.e. doesn't happen every time I sycn.
Anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?
thanks

I don't have a solution, but I can take a guess at what's going on.
My photos are on a shared folder in the Cloud (Mozy Sync). There are two laptops in the family that access this folder on a regular basis (husband and wife). Each laptop has iTunes installed. Wife syncs her iPhone to her laptop using her instance of iTunes. Husband syncs his iPhone to his laptop using his instance of iTunes.
Whether the pictures are re-synced depends on who synced last. For example, if Wife synced last, and Husband syncs, all the pictures are reloaded from scratch. Now, if Husband syncs again, only the changed pictures are loaded. But if Wife syncs next, all of the pictures are reloaded from scratch.
My theory is that the two instances of iTunes are fighting over the thumbnails in the folder iPod Photo Cache. Thumbnails are scaled-down versions of the picture files that take up less storage space, but are suitable for display on the iPhone's screen. If Wife was the last person to sync, Husband's iTunes doesn't recognize the thumbnails, so it proceeds to erase them and rebuild them. However, if Husband performs the next sync, his iTunes recognizes the thumbnails and syncs only items that changed.
If this is the problem, then the question is: How do I get both instances of iTunes to share the same thumbnails without re-creating them each time? Alternately, can I have two instances of the iPod Photo Cache, one for Wife and one for Husband?
Is this resonating with anyone?

My Apps say they have already been dowloaded when they haven't

I have been trying to download the netflix and time warner cable apps on my iPhone, but the app store says that they have already been downloaded. My mom and I share an iTunes account and she doesn't have the apps either. We have tried rebooting, deleting on iTunes, app-syncing(Which doesn't work either), and just about everything else! It is driving me nuts and I need answers.

You could try contacting the iTunes store about your problem. Here are a couple of options: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933.

Is there a way to collect previous purchases from itunes when they haven't

I just had to restore my operating system on my mac, but now can't get back the items i've previously purchased from itunes and didn't have space to back up. Is there any way to get these back without purchasing them again.

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

When I try to view my photos it says they are offline.

When I try to open my pictures it says they are offline, how do I correct this?

You could also try the following so see if you can recover your photos. If they are in the Masters or Original folder of your library but can't be recovered by the conventional rebuild/repair procedures perhaps this method will get them for you.
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

When I send an email with a photo from snow leopard to email of a lion user, the photo shows up in the Lion email sideways. When they email it back it returns to correct position. Is there something in Lion causing this?

When I send an email via MACMAIL with a photo from snow leopard to an email of a lion user using At & T , the photo shows up in the Lion user email sideways. When they email it back it returns to correct position. Is there something in Lion causing this? This also happens when in in using iphoto'11 i share/email a photo to myself and the phot shows up sideways but is in a correct position prior to emailing.

I recently tried sending myself an email through Thunderbird to another email account to see if that was the case, but the email came in with a font so tiny that it was unreadable. I had chosen a font type and size (arial 10) and just coming into my outlook inbox was virtually unreadable.
And referring to the person I work with, she doesn't have problems getting anyone else's emails, just ones I send from Thunderbird.

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
Does anyone know how I can make this work?

Yvonne-
I haven't tried videos on my camera yet. Do you use the Videos App to play them? I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format. You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion. <HandBrake> Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera. I don't know of another Video App that might work.

How do you get a contact's photo to show full-screen when they call?

A friend sees a large full-screen photo of some of his contacts when they call. I only see a small round circle with the name next to it? Is there a setting that makes this happen? Both of us on 5c iPhones with OS 8.

Thanks, RobinD.
I've just solved it through Apple, but want to share the answer for others. Even with ALL of the near-seamless syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, the only way you get a full screen photo of the person calling your iPhone is if you've assigned a photo ON YOUR PHONE to that contact in your iPhone's contacts app. Doesn't matter that Mac's "contacts" already has a photo that you assigned there before. That photo will only show up as the small round mugshot next to the caller ID UNLESS you duplicate the action of assigning the contact with another photo that's in your phone's collection of shots to the contact's listing in iPhone's "Contacts" app.
