Simple Bridge script will not read metadata and triggers Adobe Stock Photos
I have been trying to learn to write scripts for bridge but can't get past the most basic tasks. When I run the script on an open window in bridge it throws an "Uncaught exception metadata" error. The most bizarre thing is it sometimes causes an Adobe Stock Photo script to launch in the extendscript toolkit and throw and the "Uncaught exception metadata" error in that script. My script is as follows:
#target "bridge"
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge")
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails
for (i=0; i< items.length; i++)
item = items[i]
md=item.metadata
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
Window.alert(md.Title)
Window.alert(i + " "+ " Files Finished")
Basically I was asking to extract the title of each thumbnail from the metadata and show it in a window. I figured if I could do something as basic as that then I could move on and tackle the more complicated tasks that I need to do.
Any ideas of what is going on? Has anyone else accidentally triggered Adobe Stock Photos?
Another bit of info.... As I looked at this further, it seems to be occuring only on those photos where I previously ran camera raw from CS3. I've upgraded to CS5 but have not rerun camera raw since. I understand the camera raw engine in CS3 was different. Could this be involved? Could Lightroom be changing the metadata because the engine is updating the information and I have to save TO file to get this to synch?
update about this camera raw engine possibilty..... it would not appear to be the answer. I have some files that synch even tho lightroom develop says they are using the 2003 process version. I have some files that are on the new version that won't synch.

Bridge script could not read PSD file metadata reliably
I'm trying to read metadata (specifically, xmp.CreateDate and tiff.DateTime) of a bunch of PSD files using a loop. Bridge script seems able to read most of them but always fails to read some (returns empty strings), though not necessarily any particular ones. That is, if I run multiple times, it fails on different files. Basically, it's just not reliable. Is there a solution for this? Please help. Thanks.
Hi skc_chat,
According to the error message, you may do not have the permission to view the metadata. Please follow the steps below to grant the permissions to the current login on the SQL Server Management Studio:
Right click on the server name and select properties.
Click on the Permissions tab.
Select the login name.
On the Explicit tap, Grant "View Any Definition" to this login.
To grant this permission by T-SQL:
GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO <loginname>
Go

Week old macbook (white) will not read discs and ejects after a few seconds
Hello, my mother got her macbook a week ago, and while I was at school this week she hardly used it. I've come home today with my office mac 2008 disc and while trying to install I learned her macbook would rather spit the disc out than read it (does not even show up on the desktop). I know for a fact that the disc is not the problem, seeing as I just loaded it on my macbook earlier this week. I'm about an hour and a half away from an apple store so visiting is sort of an inconvenience. However Best Buy is about 10 minutes away, but I'm not sure if my apple care insurance will work there. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance guys.
Apple has a 14-day return policy, so if the MacBook is only one week old I think it would be worthwhile to make the hour and a half journey to get a replacement, if necessary. For me, that would be better than taking it in for repair. Of course, while you're at the Apple Store they will take a look at it and perhaps they can quickly correct the problem rather than replace the MacBook.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.
Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

I shot three video clips on a Sony Z1 camera. As I only had the cable to plug it in to my PC, I uploaded the footage on to the PC and then copied it on to my hard drive. I then put the hard drive into my MacBook Pro so that I could continue to edit it on there, however it will not read the files. The audio is WAV and the video footage has come up as M2V files. I need to be able to import it in to iMovie to edit however it is not letting me do so.
Is it because they are M2V's or do I need to upload the footage directly on to the MacBook and not on to a PC first?
If anyone could help, it would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Molliere-post in the iMovie forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie. Good luck.

My optical drive will not read any music cds or recognize a blank cd. it might read some data cds. what is wrong with it and how can i fix it?
The optics might be dirty. Try running a cleaning CD through it and see if that makes a difference.
If not, it will have to be replace.

I've installed Adobe Reader twice and it still will not read a PDF file. What's up?
I've installed Adober Reader twice now and it still will not read a PDF. What's up?
I have the same problem. Adobe Reader worked fine until the last few days. I run Windows 7 and all I get is a small black cross in the top left corner of the screen. I can open downloaded pdf files, but not anything new from the internet.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and have run every type of scan I know of without any change.
This seems to be a common and recent problem, so I would like to know what's being done about it. -
I installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer a month ago. It opened several times until yesterday. I uninstalled it and now am trying to reinstall from the CDs that I own and it will not read the disk. Nothing happens. I had previously downloaded it to my laptop and work computer. How do I install it again?
You can't run PSE from a USB drive, nor can you transfer PSE to a different computer via a USB drive. PSE must be installed on a computer using the installer program provided by Adobe.

I have a San Disk Memory Stick PRO Duo 4GB and my MacBook Pro will not read it. I have also connected the card into a card reader and connected it to the USB port and nothing happens. This is really frustrating. Why wont my computer read my card?
Are both , the printer and the mac in the same network?

I updated to FCP X 1.6, now my projects and events will not read
I chose the option update projects and events upon launching 1.6. Now my hard drive is being read as a camera, and I can't load my old events and projects. Strangely when I first open FCP, it appears to read the projects and events, and opens showing the drive and events, but then they simply disappear. Any ideas how to load the events and projects?
P.S. I tried going back to 1.5, but now that I chose the update events it will not read.You have a folder at the root of your hard drive that is confusing FCP X.
Common names are "Private", "DCIM", "Video", and others.
Rename or put the offending folder inside another folder (i.e. not at the root of the hard drive). -
I updated HP Printer Driver yesterday. Although I can pring and scan, none of the Printer Utility fuctions work - it will not read my printer details, clean print heads etc
This has happened with previous HP updates, so I suggest you go to HP's site to see if there are other complaints/responses.
