Rating Stars Gone

The rating stars no longer show up when in browser mode. I can see them in full screen mode. I assume I accidentally changed a setting. How do I get the rating stars back?

just hit the Y or U key to toggle the meta data overlays on the viewer or browser -
way more here if you want the info:

How to view rating stars on pictures in browser or split view

On an Imac aperture v3.2 I cannot see the rating stars on the pictures in browser or split view. I can only see them if i open the metadata for each individual picture. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on? My husband has a Macbook pro using the same software and he can see them.

The ratings are part of the Metadata Overlays (link goes to User Manual page with full instructions). There are seven different Metadata Overlays. It is helpful to customize each of them. The customization is done via "View→Metadata Display→Customize".
The Browser Metadata Overlay is toggle on/off with "u". "{Shift}+u" will toggle the Browser Metadata Overlay between "Basic View" and "Expanded View".
What is most likely is simply that either your Browser Metadata display has been toggled off. Try each of the toggles above, and see if that doesn't bring back the ratings. If it doesn't, you'll have to add them back to the Metadata View using the customize command above.

ITunes bug? Rating stars won't click-drag left-right anymore

The latest iTunes patch (v10.1.0.54 running on Windows 7) seems to have an annoying bug: When I'm rating a song, it immediately takes my initial click, regardless of whether I hold down the mouse button -- whereas I used to be able to click in the area where the rating stars are, hold down the mouse button, and then drag out the stars to the rating I wanted, e.g. 4 stars. Now, however, iTunes ignores the fact that I'm holding down the mouse button and sets the rating at whatever position I initially click, e.g. 1 star.
The reason this is a super-annoying problem is that I only ever listen to smart playlists that filter out songs with low star ratings. So now as soon as I click a song to rate it, if I happen to initially click less than a 3-star rating, it immediately disappears. After I'm finished cursing at the computer, I have to go find the song under my general Music Library and re-rate it so it will show back up in my "smart" playlists. Grr.
Incidentally, I was able to drag the stars as normal one time -- but other than that one instance, it has not worked at all since the most recent patch. Please, Apple, please please please fix this bug. It's causing me a serious headache.

UPDATE: This bug only affects iTunes configured to allow half-star ratings.
I normally have my ItunesPrefs.xml file configured to use half-stars, with this line:
<key>allow-half-stars</key>
<data>
dHJ1ZQ==
</data>
After testing removal of the line, the click-drag on whole stars works normally. So it appears this bug exists only for those who only use half stars.
Is there any hope of Apple fixing the click-drag problem when half-stars are enabled?

Hoe can i get my rating-stars from my iPhone to my iTunes ?

Hallo,
to my fixed disk went defectively, could I by timemachine my albums again manufacture, however unfortunately not the rating star.
How do I get my assigned asterisk now again into itunes?
I have my stars only on my iphone and if the iphone is connected with itunes, then it wants to delete the iphone, but last then my stars lost.

Thee are two ways that I know of.
- Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one. See:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
- How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
App data is not included with the apps in your iTunes library. Thus, just syncing the apps from your iTunes library will not get the app data like saved games.

Filter Import by Number of Rating Stars and other such

My work flow is to look at the card with Nikon ViewNX2, and assign rating stars to the keepers, then import the keepers
into Lightroom. I can't see the stars in the import dialog, though I can see them once I do the import. LR clearly
understands the rating stars because it can import them. I'd like to be able to see the rating stars in the import dialog and
filter on them at import time. I suspect that there are others out there that would like to filter on color labels and the flags.
Why not use Lightroom for the review? I sometimes don't have the Lightroom computer with me, or any computer at all.
Nikon ViewNX2 is free, and I can install it on whatever computer is handy. It's also fast, and understands dual monitors.
Simliar logic applies to BreezeBrowser and even the free Microsoft software.
There was some discussion of this in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/724396?tstart=0.

Website hit count and rating stars

Please assist I have 3 questions:
1. How to add the hit count on a website so that I can able to see how many people visited my site.
2. How to add the rating stars for music/video so that people can able to rate/vote for the best song/video of the month.
Thank you for your help.

I'm in complete agreement with JoeyD. Hit counters add nothing special to a typical site. Since they don't tell you where your hits are coming from or whether or not these are unique hits, I see no point in them.
@ Shocker. Your argument doesn't hold water. A regular web site is NOT the same as a web forum or blog where user participation is part of the whole experience. It's like comparing oranges to ducks - totally different.
If you look closely at Adobe's main web site or any other commercial site like Apple or Dell you're not likely to see hit counters on them. Why? Because they're irrelevant. The only people who care about site traffic are site owners and developers.

I sometimes get "ghost" rating stars against tracks. how can i delete these?

sometimes get "ghost" rating stars against tracks. how can i delete these?

The iphone//ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
There is no free, or Apple supported, way to extract any other music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
Iphone sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the content of the new computer.

Grey vs Black Rating Stars (in iTunes) [screenshot]

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6969/screenshot20120221at110.png
MacBook Pro (early 2011)
Mac OS X 10.7.3
iTunes 10.5.3
Hello!
Here on the screenshot, you could see grey and black rating stars in iTunes. If I click on the grey star rating to give it a new or the same rating the stars become black.
So my questions are:
1. What do they mean?
2. How are they different?
3. What could be causing it?
4. Anything else I need to know about this?
Thanks,

Keeping keywords and rating 'stars' a permanent part of RAW files

I store RAW files on a portable HD.
I use it for both desktop and laptop.
Keywords and rating 'stars' entered on one machine do not appear when using the other.
How can i make the keywords and rating 'stars' transferrable from one machine to another?

I had a chance to talk to product managers from both Apple & Adobe about this at PhotoPlus Expo in NYC a couple years back. Both seemed receptive, but here we are - years later - no progress.
I think part of the problem is that there's a purist mentality about RAW files. One should always shoot them - and then keep them forever- after all- they're your negatives!
But what about event photography? Or weddings, as you pointed out? It makes no sense to burden your workflow & backup system with 4GB of RAW files of people grinning into the camera. Once the adjustments have been made, the RAW files are just a ball & chain on your data management. And let's not forget, once you really know what you're doing, your jpegs should be good most of the time anyway.
I want RAW files as a safety net for errors in exposure and white balance. Once I know I have good photos, I don't need the safety net anymore- at least not at the price of all that hard disk space and transfer time for online backup. Of course, for my fine art stuff and important documentary work, I'll always keep the RAWs permanently. But not for routine parties/events.
You put your finger on the problem with re-importing jpegs as a solution. You lose your metadata- rankings/album memberships, etc. This is no solution!
What I want is simple, and it would be immediately useful to countless photographers:
1) Let me batch-delete RAW files when the jpegs are ok.
2) Let me do adjustments on my RAW file, render out a high-quality jpeg, and make the jpeg my new master.
Whoever does this first - Aperture or Lightroom - that's the product I'll use.

Nano showing all rating stars

My Nano sometimes bugs up and shows all rating stars instead of scrolling between song progress, volume, and rating stars - in the song view. I can fix it with a reset by toggling the hold switch and holding menu + OK, but I'd like to know the cause to see if I can prevent it.

Extending the rating stars

I was wondering if we are allowed to extend the rating stars which is currently at 5 stars to 10 stars for example. I would like to, but I don't know how.

If you reaaly really really must use 10 stars then you could use a web app... Theoretically, there is no reason why it wouldn't work. Caution!- It will require quite a bit of time but to start you off, here are the ingredients...
-1 Web App,
-{module, url} (http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/145/bc_1455.html?bc-partner)

Setting rating stars in LR4

I just upgraded to LR4, and have found that I can't set ratings simply by typing a number while a photo is selected. If I hold the shift key while typing a number, the rating is set, but the same image stays selected. This is with an "upgraded" catalog that was created in LR3. About 76K images.
I'm running a Mac OS 10.6.8 on a MacPro 8-core with 16 GB of RAM.
I'd like to have the rating stars run the way they did on LR3. Any suggestions?

Steve:
In the event that iPhoto uses a font for those stars and clearing out the iPhoto cache folder doesn't help, try using OnyX to clear out the font caches (the screenshot show just the application caches selected). That may help.
EDIT: it might the the Apple Symbols font so with Font Book see if it's activated. If not activate it and if it is, deactivate and then reactivate it.
Do you Twango?
