Save Metadata not working - please help!
Hi there,
I just purchased LR2 tonight and have imported files from an external hard drive. They are jpgs. I've rated various images and made adjustments in the Develop screen. When I go to manually Save Metadata it tells me "'Writing XMP Metadata' did not complete successfully". When I go to "Edit a photo in CS3" and I choose to "Edit a copy with LR adjustments", I get "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/PERSONAL/ Photos/2009/2009_05_Mother's_Day/2009_05_Everyday_00025.JPG for editing. It will not be opened."
I've tried starting a new catalog, I've tried moving files from my external to my hard drive and importing from there and nothing is working. I've checked the 'Automatically write changes to XMP' in the Lightroom Catalog Settings (I'm on a Mac). I'm THIS close to losing my mind. Has anyone experienced this before? What am I missing? Obviously, I'm a beginner, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wendy
Wendy-
It's going to be all right.... for one, writing Metadata to JPEGs is not going to produce sidecar files, and your catalog will track all metadata changes and edits, anyway.
Now, as to the other problem, the folder containing your images, or its parent folder may be locked or have permissions set wrong. Check with Get Info on each relevant folder in the hierarchy.
Also try renaming the image to a nice short name. The file path as a whole is a lot longer than any on my Mac, and possibly poses a problem.
best of luck!

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.
I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone. -
I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp -

while updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me
I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply -

The built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out.
the built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out. OS: Windows Vista (32-bit)
here is a sample code .
so far you procedure looks good but
i bet you have to specify the name of report , instead of 'filename'.
see this
Plist_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
IF NOT ID_NULL(Plist_id) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(Plist_id);
END IF;
Plist_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Receive_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Receive_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_time', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_time,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Issue_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Issue_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Workshop_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Workshop_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
-- RUN_PRODCT(REPORTS,'..\Reports\Pro_License',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, Plist_id, NULL);
-- here Pro_License is the name of report.
did you tried to see if the parameter passed using a message ?
try
message('parameter name'); pause; write this before "run_report". -
