Renaming NEF file no longer changes JPG file automatically (NOT BATCH RENAMING)

For the last year I have been able to select a file in Bridge under the 'Content' tab and in renaming an individual NEF file, Bridge would automatically change the corresponding JPG for me. Suddenly it no longer works and I have to change each file independently. Batch renaming still works fine, but I don't want to use that every time, as that is a bit conveluded to change one letter/number in the file.
Not sure if it was an update that changed something since the updates are automatic. I'm not finding anything in the 'Preferences' or any other area to change the setting back. How do I get it back to the way it was???

Hi Don, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

My dreamweaver album software no longer sees JPG files

my dreamweaver album software no longer sees JPG files
any one got any answers please?

Sorry, original post done in error, didn't see that you didn't mention what version of DW you are using. That extension is part of Dreamweaver now.
Have you tried re-installing the extension?

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come before

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come first after numbers and special characters, then letters H, K, M-N, P, W, B-D and so on. I click on the column header again and it reverses the sort, but still messed up. This convoluted sort appears in all views. All the letters are grouped together, so all the "a"s, "e"s, etc are being sorted by some algorithm, but it's not alphabetical. I noticed it after installation of Snow Leopard, but it could have been that way before. I did a wipe and load and just imported user settings from Time Machine afterwards. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Usually, it is (1) a preference file located here
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/
In this case, the problem is not just Finder if it also happens in Mail. Unfortunately, there are a lot of preference files.
Or it is (2) a background process that runs when you log in to your account. If it is something that starts automatically, it may be one of your Login Items. You can look at System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. That list shows processes that run when you log in to that account. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for anything there that might, for whatever reason, change the alphabetical sort order.
Make sure English is selected as language in System Preferences +Language & Text+ pane. It seem improbable that it would not be, but I just noticed there is a setting at the bottom of that pane that says +Order of sorted lists+. Does that have something other than English ?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card. JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card, is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

Thanks Larry,
I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?
I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens, composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time, camera settings, lens type). A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop. I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.

Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files / won't open jpg files because of "missing marker segment"

I am running Photoshop CS6 on a 2013 iMac with OSX version 10.9.2.
1) As of today, Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files. This has never happened before, and the files are coming from the same camera I've used for the past five years.
2) I receive the following message when I attempt to open a .jpg file "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."
This is also the first time this has happened, and happens with EVERY .jpg file I attempt to open.
3) Both of these errors ONLY happen when I am opening files located on the work server. I hit COMMAND K to connect to serveral work servers -- my work space, shared collaboration folder, and an image archive that was recently moved. If I grab the file that I want and transfer it to my desktop, and open it with Photoshop from there, it works fine.
I have run all updates.
I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue (with regard to accessing the work servers) or a Photoshop issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Photoshop does "play nice" over networks, but seems to catch more OS and server bugs than other applications (mostly because we've added more error detection code over the years after dealing with many OS and server problems).

Can No Longer Drag JPG files From Finder Directly Into .fla Stage?

For the past six months I have been following a manual process to convert JPG files (exported from InDesign) into SWF files for display advertising assets.
Using pre-built FLA files as templates (configured with clicktags):
Open FLA templates (3 separate files for 3 IAB ad sizes)
Drag JPG from Finder directly into stage of FLA file, aligned to
Publish to output folder for renaming
Today, for no apparent reason, I can no longer drag anything into the stage of any FLA file. Not just the pre-built templates. Nothing will drag & drop into an FLA stage.
What I have tried:
Restarted Mac
Reset Flash preferences
What I know I can still do:
Drag files from Finder into the Library, and drag into FLA stage from there
"File > Import to Stage..."
This works but because of my naming convention it prompts to import them all each time because Flash sees the sequence
This is not another step I am willing to contend with for my manual workflow
Me and my creative team need to process hundreds of assets like this each week, so I'm very anxious to discover why functionality that was working, suddenly stopped.
Running:
MacBookPro Retina OS X 10.8.5
Flash CS6 v. 12.0.2.529

just want to add my annoyance to the pile here. I can't see any logic behind removing the drag and drop function, especially when adding a new folder is now a multi-step process that is far from obvious. to start a new playlist with local folder content you now need to:enter settingsclick into advanced settings (basically all settings now seem to be "advanced"?)manually find and add the foldergo through the adventure of finding the files in your library.
-- because they may or may not be listed under "local files" - you won't know because Ctrl+F is also removed. so you have to remember/know what the album you added is called and search for that. if you have a mixed bag of file names from various albums, you're basically shafted; there's no way to find them all with a single search.then you can add them to playlisteta: but wait! there's more! if you have more than 15 files? you're **bleep** out of luck, because the search will only display the first 15 hits among your local files, and then show you spotify library tracks.I can't help but feel as though spotify is doing everything they can to stop us using spotify to listen to local files, as bugs that make it more or less impossible persist through multiple versions - and now features that seem to me to be basic functionality are being removed?mega minus points from someone who's been using spotify since 2008.

After updating Macbook to Yosemite, Adobe Bridge CS5.1 will not batch rename .jpgs without corrupting the files. How can I fix this?

I have a student who when he tries to batch rename his .jpgs in Adobe Bridge CS5.1, the files will become corrupted and will not be able to open them. The extension is off. How can I correct this for him?

Wait, I just caught this:

Are you referring to the 3-letter ".jpg" extension being deleted? You can't do that, of course! If that is still the case, you'll have to add it manually to each JPEG file.

File Created time changes when file renamed to previously used name

Any ideas on this one would be very gratefully received:
I am trying to rename a file then create a new one with the original name, as part of a solution to roll over log files after x days.
I found that the new file had the 'created time' of the original file, which messed up the logic badly. I tried to unpick this by creating the new file with a new name, then renaming it. The new file got the correct created time initially,
but as soon as I renamed it to the original name, the created time reverted to the created time of the earlier file.
I even tried simply deleting the old file altogether, but every attempt to get a new file with the original name resulted in the created time being that of the old file.
I have used different filesystemobject instantiations for the old and new files, and I even tried creating the new file in a different run of the script, and in a different cmd session. The only thing that worked was logging out and in again before
creating the new file!
Since the created time attribute is not writeable, I'm struggling to get round this.
Here is a stripped out version that demonstrates it. I have put 5 second waits in, so you can watch the created time get reset in front of your eyes when the new file gets renamed to the old name (might need to add a column for 'created time' to Windows
Explorer)
(OS is 2008 server R2 Enterprise)
$logdir = ".\"
$logfname = "roll.log"
$RollAtDays = 0 # for testing - so it always creates a new file
If ( -not ( test-path $logdir) ){ $newdir = New-Item $logdir -type directory }
$logfile = $logdir+$logfname
$newlog = $logdir+$logfname+".new"
$fso = New-Object -comobject Scripting.FileSystemObject
$date = Get-Date
# if file exists, test whether it requires rolling over
If ( test-path $logfile ){
$fo = $fso.GetFile( $logfile )
$dc = $fo.DateCreated
$RollDate = $dc.AddDays( $RollAtDays )
# write-host "$dc $RollDate"
If( $RollDate.CompareTo( $date ) -lt 0 ){
  write-host "Roll"
  $newPath = "$logdir$date-$logfname"
  $newPath = $newPath.Replace("/", "")
  $newPath = $newPath.Replace(" ", "-")
  $newPath = $newPath.Replace(":", "")
  $fo.Move( $newPath )
  #$fo.Delete( ) #tried both renaming and deleting the original file
  start-sleep -s 5
# some code to create a file if one doesn't exist
If ( -not ( test-path $logfile) ){
$header = "Date"
$fso1 = New-Object -comobject Scripting.FileSystemObject
$ts1 = $fso1.CreateTextFile( $newlog, $True )
$ts1.close()
start-sleep -s 5
$fo1 = $fso1.GetFile( $newlog )
$fo1.Move( $logfile )  # this is where the created date gets changed back
#add-content $logfile $header
# some code to add a line to the log
[string]$logline = "$date"
#add-content $logfile $logline

I have to disagree with the assessment that creation time is not writable:
Get-Item test1.txt | select creationtime
(Get-Item test1.txt).CreationTime = '07/03/2014'
Get-Item test1.txt | select creationtime
CreationTime
3/20/2014 1:15:43 PM

Automator Script - How to Batch Convert PDF files to max 200x200px JPG Files

I have tried several different Automator scripts and can't seem to get it right.
Each day I have 25 different PDF files. I need to convert the first page of each PDF file to a max width and height of 200x200px jpg file (not jpeg).
In automator, how do you do a batch convert of the first page of PDF files to a max width and height of 200x200 JPG files?
Thanks!

Aperture 2 raw files end up iDisk jpg files

When I click and drag (as directed by the help directory) my photo files from Aperture to the picture folder in iDisk, it drags the small image file and not the Raw master file. Example: The master CR2 file for an image is 11.36 MB in the Aperture metadata, after the transfer the data size of the same image file is only 306 km and is listed as a .jpg file. That's the thumbnail size used to view the image in Aperture. I want to save the Raw CR2 master files in iDisk. I checked preferences to find an answer to this problem but no luck. These are master image files that are based in Aperture and have been tweaked with in both Aperture and/or PS CS4. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

The only way to get a master out of Aperture is to export it. Right click on on or more select images in Aperture and choose export master - this will give you the original files that were imported. Realize that there will be no adjustments - it will be exactly the same as it came out of the camera.
RB
Ps. What exactly are you trying to do with iDisk and your CR2 files, as in for what purpose?

Read extended File Info of a jpg-file from a digital camera (recorded date etc.)

Viewing stored digital pictures in the Windows Explorer or with Google Picasa you can get additional Informations from the picture file:
recorded date
camera name / type etc.
How can I acces the informations with Labview

Hi Eldracher,
i´m not sure if there is a function in labview, but you can load your image as binary and search for your information. See this link for more information about the JFIF (jpg file interchange format) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format.
Hope it helps

Cannot import movie or audio files. Can drag jpg files into imovie though.

Hi, I recently re-installed 10.3.9 (about 2 days ago).
imovie was working just fine until i opened it this morning only to find I couldn't import anything other than picture files.
I get this message when i try.
"can't open file (insert file name here) skipping it and continuing"
When i re-open imovie i get a message telling me
"there are x amount of files that don't belong in this project would you like to move to trash"
I'm given the option to leave files alone or trash unused files.
HELP!
I got this response
When you reinstalled 10.3.9 did you repair permissions before and after, as well as repairing your hard disk with Disk Utility on your Install Disk?
After which I tried doing what was suggested but still have the same problem. I even tried using pacifist.
Is there an newer version of imovie available for download?

Sorry, I don't go back that far!
This is the iMovie 5 forum. You might get a more knowledgeable response if you post in the iMovie 4 and earlier forum:

Batch change images in automater not working

trying to batch change picturesfrom pict to jpg in automater but it won't work

It was the Ad Block Plus - I went into the OPTIONS for Ad Block Plus and clicked on the "Disable for this page only" button... then all seemed good. Odd however... when I looked at the "blockable items" list, the only one that showed up was a googlegamepad ad. I unblocked it with no change.
So it is blocking something that it is not listing... I'll follow-up with them and inform them of the problem.

My iMac will no longer import .jpg files. With either iPhoto or image capture

Can someone tell me why iPhoto and Image Capture say that .jpg is no longer a supported format. I've imported hundreds of photos from my camera before and now I can't. I noticed this after I had placed the SD card in my Panasonic Viera TV to view the photos. Is it possible that the TV screwed up the formating on the SD card? I'm still able to view them on the camera, but unable to import them.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem does not repeat itself in the test library then your current library is the culprit.
If that's the case try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
