'Save Medadata to file' - but only some?

Hello, I read an Adobe Lightroom discussion from November 2011. I am looking to start using Lightroom (have been using capture nx2) but need something answered please:
It stated that 'Save Medadata to File' will copy most but not all of the metadata changes that you have made within Lightroom', which got my attention, and seemed a bit worrying.
It suggested that this problem was for both proprietary raw formats with xmp sidecar files, and dng files (also TIFF etc I think). I also understand, or think I do, that it's only a problem
when you export from Lightroom to another editing program (or photoshop at least). I also read something similar on a recent post here, but I didn't find it very clear.
The problem is that some things are not included in the metadata write command....the develop history, stacks, collection membership, flags, virtual copies.
All of these things, apart from maybe flags, I need, and can't imagine that I can't use these important options, so I really must be missing something. And surely I would need to save the
metadata to file to send images to NIK software etc for further editing. I read it that if you stay in Lightroom there is no problem, as I think the catalogue has all the metadada, but that
won't happen, or not all the time.
I don't understand this, and can't quite believe it, so would be most grateful for advice, thanks

Thanks for your reply, which is much appreciated
The truthful answer is that I don't know why I want these items written. It's just that what I read seemed to make a negative out of it, but
I don't know why. Perhaps you might be able to clarify why this might be a problem, if that's what it is - I mean in what circumatance(s)
might this be a problem?
I just presumed that it might prevent me, within Lightroom to use these features - or did they mean that they would just not be available
to someone I might send the files to, or whatever?
I will just need to edit files in Lightroom (I will be changing my NEFs to DNGs, editing in Lightroom, using NIK software/maybe other
software too, and sending photos to a website such as Zenfolio, and also to a printer or whatever)
I suppose you could say that the post I read alluded to a problem, but didn't explain (or I didn't understand) what the effects would be, at
least as far as I am concerned). I mean they didn't say 'this is, or could be, a problem because.....'
Thanks

Weird...cd plays on mbp but only some tracks play in car cd player

really weird. all tracks are aiff files
the burned cd seems to play fine on my computer but only some of the tracks will play on my car cd player.

There seems to be an uneasy and uncertain truce between burned optical media and its players. The two best actions are :
try a different brand of media, or use CD-R instead of CD-RW. I find the "R" versions more forgiving.
use a cleaning disk to muck out the car's player. Players in cars get filthy.

I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account. But only some of them have the cloud next to them. The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

You are getting the 3194 error because you cannot update to 6.1.2, since it is no longer current.
The fact that you downloaded the 6.1.2 file does not matter. If you upgrade, you must upgrade to the latest version.
I cannot imagine why you would not want to update to the current 6.1.3 version instead of 6.1.2.

Strange sound distortion since update (but only some files and Bluetooth)

Hello Community!
My Xperia Z1 compact got updated to Lollipop (14.5.A.0.242) this morning. Moreover, the Walkman got updated to 8.5.A.3.3. From then onwards, some music files are distorted when played with Walkman, but only when played via Bluetooth.
This does not happen when played with another player (tested with VLC app). It seems to be also restricted to a special file type. Nearly all my music is stored with AAC. The files that have the problem are however only the AAC files that use the profile HE-AAC (AAC+ i.e. with SBR). If I remember it correctly, I created these files with Winamp.
Could you please look into this problem? I like the Walkman player more than Google Music or VLC and don't want to convert all my HE-AAC music to something else.
If you need any more information, do not hesitate to ask. Best regards and thanks in advance,
Mattes

Saving metadata manually - saves to all files, not only touched

Since "Automatically write XMP" didn't work properly before version 1.3, I'm still not using it in 1.3. Still a little scared.
My idea is to once in a while select all pictures (or just right click the topmost folder in the folder view) and select "save metadata". But I did some tests now with various images, and this command actually wrote metadata to ALL selected files, even though no keywords, metadata or adjustsments had been made. The import was done with no preset too.
So how do I ensure that only changes I have made are written to the files and that old files remains untouched? And what imaginary metadata does it write?

Hi
Some files may have had metadata written by other applicatons (IPTC - not XMP), but the recent test I did yesterday was fresh files from my cellphone-camera. So what I did was first to select just a few images in the grid and select "save metadata". All files were updated (both the timestamp and the archive-attribute. And with the archive-attribute changes, everything will be backed up again if a normal incremental backup procedure is used). I also right-clicked a folder in the left pane and selected "save metadata" and the same happened.
So I did not do this operation on my whole library, still not trusting LR I prefer to test things in small scale first. Lucky for me.
I checked the files and what had happened is that XMP-data was written to the files. This is just like when I turned on "automatically write XMP" on LR 1.0 - it updated all my image files, even those that was not changed. So it seems I have got almost the same situation again.
So, no - it did not re-write files that had already been touched. This is the first time LR writes to the files, but I don't see why it should write to files that are not changed. I don't agree that LR needs to write to the files once. Why should it? What should it write?
Did this make sense?
Funny, I'm listening to an old Lightroom podcast right now and the team says that one of the design ideas was to be friendly to existing image catalogs. Saving data to unchanged files is not really friendly.

I am trying to upload photos to a library but only some of them uploaded. I even tried to rename and upload to a different library but I can't get it to work. I don't get any error message it just doesn't respond.

I have been uploading pictures for a while but ran into a problem last night that I cannot resolve. I was uploading files starting in Revel and selecting the "add photos to album". I selected 144 photos but only 88 uploaded. I checked and confirmed that the missing ones are not in the library. I tried to re-save and reinitiate the upload on Revel. I then tried to save the files with a new name and upload to a new library. Neither option worked. I do not get any error message. it just fails to upload.
Is there a system problem? Any suggestions?

Hi there,
Are you uploading from the Revel Mac app or a browser from adoberevel.com or from a mobile device?
Thanks!

How can anyone add to a SharePoint list but only some can edit all fields?

My office has a list on our SharePoint for product requests. We were trying to make it so that the "+Add Item" link was available to all who want to request a map but only specific fields such as Name or Description would be editable on their
end. Once the item is in the system, the SharePoint admins in our office could update things like Status or Analyst. However, after talking to the individual in charge of our SharePoint permissions told us that we cannot set this basic ability to "everybody"
and instead need to create a special group with limited permissions. Unforunately we have high-turnover between our office and other locations and see this causing a problem in the near future. Is there a work around such as creating a web app or form that
will push the necessary data into the SharePoint list or maybe just send it via email to designated recipients in our office to process it?

I do not see any simple solutions here. You have various options, each with different limitations and each will require some effort to implement. Mix and match as best meets your needs:
Create a standard list as usual*. In the lists's Advanced settings, in the Item-Level Permissions group, select the options Read all items and Create items and edit items that were created by the user. This approach lets users create their own items
and edit them, and they can still view other's, but they cannot edit other's. Note: some list templates do not provide the Item-Level Permissions group of settings.
Create a custom permissions level: copy it from Contribute. Remove all of the Edit and Delete list permissions. This approach lets your users create new and view existing entries, but not delete or edit them.
Configure Incoming Email, and email-enable the target list. You can configure the list to accept email according to the permissions that person has with respect to the list. Thus, for example, a person with Contribute permission level would
be able to send email to the list but a person with Read permission level would not.
Create the list. This will also create default New, Edit and View forms. Customize the New form in SharePoint Designer 2013 so as not to display the fields you do not wish the user to edit.
Create new site fields and content types: create one content type that displays only a few of these new fields and the other that displays all of them. Add these to the list. Configure a custom content type as the default for the list that displays
only a few fields. Users will see this content type when they create a new entry. Edit the New list form to display only this content type. Edit the View list form to display only this content type.

One File (But Only 1) shows as an icon in List View of a Finder Window

Finder windows has one inconsistency, but only for this one file, which is a JPG photo. In list view with the option to not show thumbnails (under Command J) Then I get generic JPG badges for each file. If I select: "Show as Icon" then I get a small photo icon for each photo. So far, so good. The problem is with one individual photo file. It always shows as a photo icon, regardless of how I set the checkbox for Show as Icon within a finder Window by sing Command J. So the problem seems to be with that individual file by itself. Using Command I for Show Information on the individual files does not give me any options or clues about how to control the presentation of the icon on its individual files.
Looking at the same image but with different file names or paths, then everything is normal and as it should be. The simple answer is simply erase the "goofy" file and replace it with a new version, but I want to understand what the OS is doing. The same issue with the same file was under OSX 3 and 4. I have 10.6 Snow Leopard now, but the issues was there with Tiger and so on.
An ideas?

It always shows as a photo icon
It sounds as if the file has its own custom icon, which is different from the "icon preview" that the system constructs on the fly when a custom icon is not present and you have also checked the "show icon preview" box in View Options. If you want to remove a custom icon, do a Get Info on the file, click on the icon at the top left to select it, and hit command-X.
