Saving DNG as copy via Bridge-doesn't work!

Hi, i just started using Bridge CS3 to download and backup (to an external HD). I download them onto my desktop, converting them to DNG in the process (all is well with that); however, when i ask it to save copies to an external HD, hence creating two sets of files, the copies are RAW not DNG. I don't understand that as the point of making the backup copies is to have an original DNG set of files. I thought perhaps i was doing something wrong but all my playing around does not get me DNG files as copies - is that on purpose? Am i doing something wrong? Or don't i understand the purpose of "save copies to:"?
All instructions greatly encouraged, please.

Hi Taiyo,
It sounds like you are using Adobe Photo Downloader via Bridge's "Get Photos From Camera..." menu command.
The "save copies" feature will save copies of the original RAW files during the download process; you are seeing the feature work as designed. Some photographers want to keep both DNG files as well as the original original RAW format files, and others choose to keep only the converted DNG files.
These original RAW can be used as part of a backup workflow, but the "save copies" option alone does not provide the kind of backup workflow I think most photographers want to use. For example if the photographer's intent is to keep the original RAW files as well as the DNGs (I understand that in your case, you just want to backup DNGs), then a robust backup would probably put backup copies of *both* the DNGs and the RAW files on an external hard drive (or more than one external hard drive).
One way you can use Bridge to save backup copies of your DNGs after they've been downloaded is to select the new DNGs in Bridge and use the "Copy To" command in the Thumbnail contextual menu to make copies of the DNGs on your external drive. Right/Control Click on one of the selected thumbnails to bring up the menu. Recently browsed folders and folders you are browsing in other Bridge windows will appear in the "Copy To" list. A "Choose Folder..." command also lets you make copies to folders you have not yet browsed with Bridge.

Safari copy url button doesn't work

I just upgraded from an ipad2 to an iPad air 2. Before, if I wanted to copy and paste a url I'd use the copy button. Now,on the new iPad air 2, the copy button just wipes out whatever I've previously copied, and doesn't copy the url.

You tap and hold down in the URL field until you get the option to select all. Then you choose the option to select all. An option to Copy appears and you select that and then you should be able to paste that URL into a text field.
Safari copy url button doesn't work
I Realize that you must know the steps but I am just double checking. If that is not working for you, and you are not having copy and paste issues elsewhere in other apps, I would try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now force close Safari. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Not a discusion- a BIG problem. My Bridge doesn't work.

My Bridge doesn't work. CS5, used with Windows 7, 16GB RAM. Problem out of the blue. Message: Bridge encountered a problem an dis unable to read the cache. Please try purging central cache in cache in preferences to correct program." Did this. Problem persisted. Uninstalled total CS5 and Bridge. Reinstalled my progra. Rebooted after each step. Bridge still crashes my system. If I open a folder with 5 images it works. If I open a folder with 100 images system crashes. This is not happenign with my laptops, same CS5, same 16 GB RAM. Without Bridge I can't edit.

Have you tried clearing Bridge's preferences by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt while starting Bridge?
Be aware you'll need to re-setup all your preferences.

IPhone 5 contacts local sync via usb doesn't work - updated

Syncing an iPhone 5, AT&T 64GB, with Macbook Air 11" mid-2011, 1.8GHz / 4GB.
OS X 10.10.2; iTunes 12.1.0.50; iOS 8.1.3.
I am trying to sync my contacts from my OS X Contacts App to my iPhone 5 via USB. The contacts do not sync. The contacts are local, "on my mac". I am using a usb cable through iTunes.
The iPhone 5 was just restored by Apple Configurator, set up as new iPhone, and is supervised by the MacBook Air.
I am also synchronizing my local Calendars from the OS X Calendar app; these transfer just fine. This makes me think it is probably not to do with the entire setup of the iPhone, i.e. that it is managed by apple configurator, since some of the sync works correctly.
Under "info" in the iTunes sync dialog, I have selected the "sync contacts" and "all contacts" and "sync calendars" and "all calendars" options.
Interestingly, while the Calendars sync options displays options of "selected calendars" and a list of my calendars available to sync, the Contacts section "selected groups" is grayed out. I have one group in Contacts, and it does not show up by name for "selected groups". Instead, the area where groups should be listed for selection is empty. Perhaps iTunes does not have access to my local contacts? It is not listed under apps with access to my contacts under security and privacy, and it has not requested access to my contacts.
I created a fake contact on the phone and synced it with iTunes. I then turned off contact syncing in iTunes and told it to remove previously synced contacts. The fake contact disappeared. When I turned contact syncing on again, the contact was again pushed to the phone. However, the fake contact did not appear at any point in the OS X Contacts App, and none of my OS X Contacts appeared on my phone -- only the fake contact I had created on my phone and then synced with iTunes.
I also created a (different) fake contact in OS X Contacts. iTunes sync did not transfer this contact (or any others) from OS X Contacts to iPhone.
SUMMARY:
- syncing iPhone 5 via USB with iTunes
- Calendar sync works
- Contacts sync doesn't work
- iTunes appears to have no communication with the OS X Contacts app; in system prefs > security and privacy > privacy > contacts, Pages and Word have access to Contacts, but iTunes is not listed. iTunes Contacts sync "selected groups" does not display my OS X Contacts group names.
- Contacts created on iPhone sync back to iTunes and are restored back to the iPhone if deleted and resynced.
- Contacts created on iPhone do not sync back to OS X Contacts; Contacts in OS X Contacts do not sync to iPhone.
(apologies for premature posting to "Using iPhone"; I accidentally submitted and now can't delete or edit).

Here's the resolution: I went to my local Apple store and spoke to the guy. After some discussion it turned out that one of the staff had had a similar problem. He suggested this course and I can report that it seems to work. So, (1) open your system preferences and then the print & fax setting and delete the printer in question (2) disconnect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (3) shut everything down and turn off power to your modem, your TimeCapsule and your whole system (4) power on each item in its normal sequence (5) wait for your iMac to complete its boot-up, (6) re-connect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (7) open system preferences and search for and install the relevant printer (8) try printing.
This is hardly elegant, but it worked. I am told (by the same Apple store) that hitting the "reset" button in the TimeCapsule might also work. If this is intuitive or obvious to anyone else then my compliments to them ...

Sony Bridge doesn't work on my mac/phone.

So I have a Sony Xperia U and my Mac is version 10.5.8 and I've downloaded this Sony Bridge but it doesn't work, I connect my phone to my computer and nothing happens, my phone just starts charging with the computer and that's it. What version of Sony Bridge should I download then? What should I do?

Try installing Bridge for Mac from this link instead and check if you can get any connection.

Image transfer via AIM doesn't work in Messages anymore

My chat contacts and me are experiences many issues with inline image transfer via AIM since Yosemite, especially if two people have different OS versions. If one party is on Yosemite, image transfer with the standard server settings doesn’t work anymore. I read in one of the other threads here that port 5190 is required for image transfer. The default setting is 443 (and it should change the port for image automatically?). Is it possible that something with the ports or the SSL behavior has changed for Messages 9 on Yosemite? (I have computers with 10.10 and 10.8 and experience issues both ways chatting with someone on a different OS).
It seems to work if everyone switches off SSL which changes the default settings to login.oscar.aol.com and port 5190. If both parties have this setting it works. If one uses port 443 and SSL on it doesn’t. But switching off SSL is not a sustainable solution. Any other ideas? I tried to force port 5190 and slogin.oscar… with SSL but then can’t connect.

Copy and Paste Doesn't Work in Windows

Copy and paste does not work in iTunes 9.1.0.79 in Windows 7.
When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
(Or is copy and paste supposed to work only within iTunes?)
Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated.

When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
Correct.
You are copying the text from the columns displayed in iTunes.
You can paste that into a text document.
To assist others which may have the same question and see this topic, what was your solution?
Just drag the songs from iTunes to the folder you want.

Syncing iOS bookmarks via iTunes doesn't work

Some background on my bookmarks. I always used a utility (Xmarks) to sync my bookmarks with their cloud service. With iCloud and Safari 5.0 this had some major problems and still does. So basically I copied over my bookmarks to Safari and continued using it. For a long time Safari and my iPhone had similar but not quite in-sync bookarks. A week or so ago, Safari 6 (which has been horribly buggy for me) deleted all my bookmarks after one restart. The bookmarks were on my iPhone. I didn't mind much because iTunes hadn't been syncing my bookmarks anyway.
I tried to fix that today to get my bookmarks back on my Mac. Turning off and on the bookmarks syncing for my iPhone in iTunes seemed to have no effect. Eventually after a restart of iTunes, I turned on bookmark syncing and it decided to sync my bookmarks. Unfortunately it deleted all my bookmarks on my iPhone. I did a restore and I'm back to where I was.
Any way to fix the bookmark syning via usb cable from Phone to Safari?
I'm running iTunes 10.7 on up-to-date snow leopard.

I would try another cable. Make sure to be connecting directly to the computer instead of a keyboard port or Hub. Try another computer.
Otherwise I would take it directly to Apple so they can either try a restore or determine if it's hardware related.

Copy paste color doesn't work?

Copying and pasting background colors of boxes doesn't appear to work. Any workarounds?

Well I read the forum rules and it doesn't say
anything about not using URGENT. Sounds like you are
going based on convention.Consider basic good manners. You have just approached a bunch of strangers and asked them for their help, for free. By telling us it's urgent, you're really saying "my problem is more important than these other people asking for help", which is only true as far as you're concerned. Everyone considers their own problem more important.
The forum rules may not say anything about not using "URGENT", but since the people answering the questions have the power to do so or not, you just have to abide by what they say. Like it or lump it, basically. Or cough up some hard currency

Start BEX via RRMX doesn't work

Hello
BW 3.5 /SAP GU 6.2
It is possible to access bex via system-> program-> BEx -> analyzer.
However transaction RRMX doesn't start BEX . There is also no error message. But the EXCEL Process starts ( seen in the Windows Task Manager) and disappears immediately.
I have also checked authorization, where everything is ok.
Please has anyone a good idea how to solve or at least some investigation ideas.
Best regards

Hello
Thanks a lot of your answer. Perhaps I didnt write all important information on this issue down.
It is a user, who is not able to start Bex via RRMX. However when I start RRMX it works perfectly and we are on the same platform.
Do you have another idea?

Copy and paste doesn't work

I have attempted to copy values using copy/paste. When I apply the paste nothing is put in the designated cell. I have attempted to copy titles as well and they were not pasted.
I opened a new spreadsheet as a test and found that the copy/paste technique works on it. Why does this work on one spreadsheet and not the other? Have I turned something off or on which prevents this from working on the spreadsheet? Is there a preference that is involved?
I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac.

I had the same problem with a Numbers '09 SS that I got as an email attachment. I couldn't copy and paste cells, no matter what was in the cells. I couldn't move cells or groups of cells. The only thing I could do was highlight the contents of one cell and copy and paste that. But that gets old fast.
So I tried exporting the SS as an Excel document (I don't have Excel, but it doesn't matter) and then opening it again in Numbers. It Worked!! Now I can move and copy and paste cells, columns, rows.

What is the best way to shut down an iMac that has frozen during a data transfer? The disk I was writing to will not eject. Stopping "copy items to" doesn't work either_ it is frozen as well. Is there a way to force eject the disk so I can shut down?

Some more information on the above: OS: 7.2
1. None of the shutdown commands would work so I held the power button down and received a prompt that asked if I wished to force eject the drive, I selected
the force eject and then shut down.
2. Just recently I installed an eSATA _ Thunderbolt_ port multiplier compliant PCIe card (Seritek Q6G) into a thunderbolt external chassis (OWC Helios) (seritek Q6G).
This freeze data transfer also happened when I connected a Firmtek 5PM external tower to the iMac via thunderbolt cable.
The driver for the seritek Q6G was installed in the iMac previous to connection of any of the devices.
Both external towers mount ok on the iMac but have frozen during data transfer.
The initial freeze was with the Firmtek 5PM which is (JBOD)_ I thought that might have had something to do with the freeze_ it being JBOD_ so next I tried the Mercury Elite AL Pro Q2- which is formated in RAID 5. But then froze too.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Maybe I need another driver?
Or maybe some update to my OS?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

Vim via FTP doesn't work

Hi there,
I've got an error with netrw and vim: when i try to open a file on my ftp server (either with "vim ftp://login@host" or via Nautilus), i get a:
**warning** (netrw) cannot determine method (format: protocol://[user@]hostname[:port]/[path])
error message.
FTP with other tools (gEdit for exemple) works fine.
Do you know where the error came from ?

> If you are asking me how to disable sftp but let ssh work, it can't be done
Oh, but it can.
SFTP runs as a subsystem to SSH.
If you check /etc/sshd_config you'll find a line near the end:
<pre class=command>Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server</pre>
If you want to run SSH, but not SFTP, comment out this line.
