Solution for missing EXIF tags and untranslated values

A few weeks ago I asked how I might have Aperture use words rather than numbers to describe various camera settings. It doesn't help much to know that that the exposure program setting was "2" when it fact it was Av. I was old it could not be done.
A freeware product called ExifTool already does this - translates EXIF numerical data into ordinary english. And, while I've never tried to do so, it will also create new IPTC tags based on other tags values. This is a potential solution for getting readable information from EXIF data as well as the EXIF's Aperture doesn't even try such as Bracket Mode, Lens Type, or the auto focus point(s).
There are two things I don't know...
1) Will Aperture correctly handle any IPTC tag it encounters during import?
Maybe - they can be created from within Aperture.
2) How to get ExifTool to actually create a tag?
The provided man page example does not work for me...
[AL3:~] irwin% exiftool -Comment='This is a new comment' ~/Desktop/u/Experiment.CR2
0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged
...or even...
[AL3:~] irwin% exiftool -Comment+='This is a new comment' ~/Desktop/u/Experiment.CR2
Can't add Comment:Comment (not a List type)
Nothing to do.
I'm asking that someone more experienced than me suggest why I can't create this new tag.
There's light at the end of this tunnel,

In the newer versions of itunes 6+7 (don't know about 5) iTunes by default will rename the file on the HD to match the info in the "Name" column of iTunes - this is true if you have the "Keep" option selected in iTunes prefs>Advanced>General.
With iTunes 4 this was not true. I would use one of Dougs scripts to rename all my files on the HD to be Artist-Song Name. You can still do this in iTunes 6+7 if you turn off the "Keep" option or you don't edit any info in the id3 tag once you have run the script.
I know nothing of the Sonos and other stuff - I can only think that is reading only the file sname and not the id3 tag info. If it doesn't have the capability of reading and displaying the id3 tag info then I think you are out of luck. iTunes is reading the id3 tag info.

My solution for the "Error -50" and/or "Syncing" problem

Hi
After upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.2 I also had the "Error: -50" problem"
How have I solved this problem => also with the help and tips from other forums.
Before the upgrade all my pictures from iPhoto were available on my iPod Photo (30 GB)
After the upgrade of iPhoto to 5.0.2 I received the "Error: -50" every time I tried to synchronize my iPod. Strange, strange, strange, ...
=> first I detected that putting pictures on my iPod starting from a folder (in stead of iPhoto) worked fine.
Trying to change back to iPhoto did not work and no albums where available in the iPod Options view!
=> then I tried to create a new iPhoto library (press and hold Option(alt)-key while starting iPhoto), put some pictures and albums in it ... and even this did not work.
What did I do to solve this problem!
1. I thrashed my iPhoto application (DO NOT empty you trash, because you have to put it back again)
2. I used "Disk Utility" to repair the disk permissions.
3. I put back my iPhoto application from the thrash (same location as before - Applications folder)
4. and did again a "repair disk permissions"
5. then I tried to sync my NEW iPhoto library on my iPod and EUREKA this worked.
6. Then I switched back to my original iPhoto library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key).
7. Tried to sync ... again the same problem => no pictures and albums available in the iPod - Optoins - Photo tab.
=> conclusion : the problem has to be in my iPhoto library
8. after trying many things (such as eliminating albums => trail and error method) I found the cause for my problem.
=> I used KEYWORDS in my iPhoto library with strange characters and had SMART albums using it. In my situation it was the "&" character.
Replacing or removing this character solved my problem. All my pictures and albums were available in the iPod - Options - Photo tab
9. Sync could be started ... Youpi!
After synchronizing my iPhoto library I noticed that not all pictures were available on the iPod. I start looking which pictures that were missing on my iPod. When I found them I wanted to know why they were not synchronized.
I found the explanation in the file "AlbumData.xml" in the "iPhoto Library" folder.
If you open this file with TextEdit and search for this missing file then you'll find that (at least in my case) corresponding path does not exist (any more). And that was the case for each missing file!
How solving this problem?
1. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library => launch iPhoto holding the Option and Command keys. This did not work.
2. What did I do?
2.1. First I exported all my Pictures from the active iPhoto Library (Share - Export)
=> VERY IMPORTANT NOTE : all extra info such as "Key words", Albums, ... will NOT be saved!
2.2. I created a new iPhoto Library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key)
2.3. Then I imported all exported pictures.
=> if you check the file paths in the AlbumData.xml file, you'll see that this info is correct!
2.4. At least I recreated (manually) all "Key words", Albums, ... so I had a duplicate of my original Library.
I hope this also works for other people with the same problem.
Greetings
P@nt@ni

Here my solution for the itunes' "unknown error -50" and not showing any albums in the prefs' tab:
1. All rebuilding options in iphoto didn't resolve the problem.
2. I opened the file "AlbumData.xml" in the iPhoto-Library-Folder with a text editor. I figured out, that the problem wasn't in the Albums, but in the "Master Image List"-Section. They look like this:
<key>1741</key>
<dict>
.. titles, filenames, ....
</dict>
After making a backup of this file, I started deleting entries here (you know, the fastest way to do it is to split it always in halves and check in iTunes if the error still exists). After about half an hour I got the problem key.
3. The problem was: Some (curious) white spaces at the BEGINNING of the comment! Curious, because they weren't visible in iPhoto's comment, but I could delete them in Iphoto! I guess they weren't normal space characters, but any special symbols (line feeds? whatever)
4. After that, the -50 error was gone. Now I could see the Album Names. But the sync stopped after a while with a "... file not found...." - error.
5. Again, with trial&error I found out, that 4 pictures in the last 3 months' rolls made this second problem: I just duplicated them in iPhoto and deleted the original ones. So I still don't know why they have produced this error... anyway,
6. Now all of my photos sync well.
.. well, the whole story took me 2 evenings. I really didn't switched to Mac to play debugger for Apple. Do they read these groups here or do I better write them anywhere? They should get those problems fixed asap! As far as I read in the groups, those errors do exist quite a long time?!
My versions:
iPhoto 5.0.4 (263)
iTunes 5.0.1 (4)
OS X 10.3.9
iPod Nano 1.0

Easy solution for missing shell execution?

Hello!
Because I really miss the feature to start an external
application from my AIR application, I thought about a solution
which is easy to implement and doesn't need too much configuration
effort on the user's side. I'm not a really good programmer so I
hope we can find out together if this solution is fine.
The idea is to run a daemon on the user's computer which
monitors a watchfolder. The AIR application writes the shell
commands in a file in the watchfolder. The daemon reads the command
in the file an executes this command. For knowing something about
the status of the external program, the daemon should write a log
file with the outputs of the external application. This logfile can
be read by the air application.
This means for the AIR application:
- Implementing a class, called "ShellExecution" for example
with the methods
* run (path:String) : starts an external application
* kill (AppID:Integer) : kills an external application
* setWatchfolder(path:String) : sets the path to the
watchfolder
and with the events
* changeStatus : occurs when the logfile changes
* completed: occurs when the external application completed
* failed: occurs when the external application couldn't be
started
Please remember: This are only my non-professional ideas...
The daemon should be programmed in C/C++ I think to make it
platform independent, the tasks for the daemon are:
* monitoring the watchfolder (every 1 second for example)
* if there is a "run-file": start the command inside the file
* create a log file for this "run-file" and writing outputs
and status information to the file
Well, these are my first ideas on that. What do you think
about it?
I guess it's not too hard to implement for a C/C++ developer
and it should really run on win, linux and mac.
And the AIR side should be easy too.
We only have to ensure that the daemon is running on the
user's machine. But for my clients this could be easy to ensure.
There could be a batch-file which first starts the daemon and then
the air application. If the AIR application shuts down, it could
write something to the watchfolder and the daemon shuts down one
second later...
Would be very happy th get some reply and ideas about this
topic.
Hope my english was good enough to explain what I want :-)
Thanks and regards,
Andreas

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
OK, you're right that this is not the most efficient method
to do this. But I don't think it takes too much resources, because
we only read the content of a folder, not a really big work for a
modern computer I think.
Sure, this solution can only be a compromise. And when I hear
"socket server" I guess this is something which I wouldn't call
"easy" anymore. But if someone can implement such a solution, I
would be happy. But remember: the solution should be able to run on
the client's computer without the need of installing a java virtual
machine or php...this is why my solution uses the file
system.

Has anyone come up with a solution for the WD Passport and Mavericks OSX issues yet?

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution for the newer Macbook Pro/Mavericks and external WD Passport not mounting problems?
I have a couple of year old WD Passport that worked fine in my old 2009 Macbook Pro, the problem is the old computer crashed.
My dilemna; My new 2014 Mackbook Pro will not open my WD Passport, called WD Support, their answer, sorry, nothing has been solved.
Is there anyway I can get access to my files on the Passport with any other software, or by using a PC.
I am aware of reformatting the HD, and have read all the forums I could find and have tried installing the WD Update as well, (with the support tech from WD) and nothing works.
I know that my WD Passport works, so please don't suggest checking it, or the cord.
I appreciate all the help anyone can offer, and I am with all the rest of you struggling for solutions.
Thanks so much

Hi everyone, this is what I did
1. upgrade disks to the latest firmware
2. de-install ntfs-3g and MacFuse.
3. Re-install NTFS 3G without Macfuse.
4. Next step: Install OSXFUSE latest version with selection MacFUSE compatibility layer.
5. Last step: Install Fuse Wait
Note: between steps 2 and 5, I restarted my machine.
It worked for me, after about 4 hours.

Assets: provision for differences between APC and Market Value

Hi,
my current client needs to make a provision with the difference between the APC and Market Value in some assets (buildings...).
Our idea is to use Valuation Area 02 in order to reflect those "Market Values" and create another Valuation Area = 02 - 01. With this area we will have the amount the we need to make the provision in GL.
I just wanted to know if FI-AA has anything that could make those provisions automatically. I have looked into help.sap.com, customizing etc... and I could not find anything.
Does anybody knows if there is a standard "provision function" for assets?
I think that we will need to develop an ABAP program for this requirement...
Cheers

not solved but need to close it...

Solution for monitor power supply and raid 5 on x4150 server

Hi everybody,
a simple question :
my compagny have some server SunFire x4150 in some Datacenter, and there is a thing that we cannot really monitored remotly : the status of the 2 power supply and the status of the raid 5 of the server.
(i want to know if a power is down or if a disk is "dead")
We are using Nagios, cacti and munin actually, so can we use these interfaces for that?
if the answer is no, a script can be developed , if only i knew the command that can be used to take informations from the state of the raid5, i'll comunicate later the type of the raid card.
what are the best solutions availables for monitor those things?
thanks by advance

We have some x4150s but they're running Linux. There are separate solutions for each of the 2 problems.
1. For the power supplies, you can use the ELOM/ILOM system management interface (also used for monitoring the fans and temperature). If you've got it configured and connected to the network, you can set it up to email you about any events. We have the older ELOM firmware running, which includes the ability to add some actions to take in response to specific events. The new and supposedly better ILOM firmware doesn't seem to include this. Since this is IPMI compatible you can probably also hook into this using ipmitool or SNMP tools.
2. For the RAID card, assuming it's the standard Adaptec (rebranded as StorageTek) controller, you can install and use StorMan software (it's on the tools & drivers CD if not pre-installed). Once again you can configure email notification from the StorMan GUI, but this time it relies on OS host services to do the mail forwarding via the host NIC.
I'm not familiar with the details of your network system admin tools, but hopefully these tips will provide pointers on what hooks are available for these tools to tie into. Presumably there's also Sun N1 management software which can probably do this in a more built-in way, but it sounds like you've already got more than enough management tools.

TS1559 still no solution for greyed out wifi and bluetooth - what to do? been messing around with it for weeks and now discover I'm just outside of warranty period? WHAT?

I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???

well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

Best solutions for storing text, Word and pdf documents on iPad

I just switched from using a powerbook to an iPad + microkeyboard for my work computer (I'm freelance and need to bring my own device wherever I go), and I love the size and weight of it compared to a laptop.
What I am glitching on is the fact that I cannot save documents to my ipad. Clients email Word and PDF docs to me, and I have (very few of) my own docs, such as resumes, which I need to update slightly and send out to them as well. It's not ideal when I need to send out a resume to dig through my Sent folder on Mail and forward it, creating a new email but just saving the attachment. I also need to access certain received documents repeatedly as reference. I'm surprised iOS for iPad doesn't have a "Documents" folder as OS X does.
How are users working around this problem currently? Please give me suggestions for solutions. I'm hopeful that future iterations of iOS will provide a way to store and access a personal library of documents as it does photos and videos, so I will commit to working through this in the short term. What are your work arounds?
T

I doubt iOS will ever change. iOS does not have a file manager system like you're used to on a laptop or desktop, so it lacks the ability to access files like you're used to. So whatever workarounds you find will likely become your regular work flow. If Apple hasn't added a file manager to iOS in the past 5 (give or take) years it's doubtful they'll do so in the future...the lack of a file manager is why the iOS operating system is so secure, viruses can't infect and use a file manager system to spread if they don't have one.)
iOS ties the access to files to the apps that access them. As you said, photos with the photos app, music with the music app. With your purchase of a new iOS device you are eligible for free Apple apps, amongst them Pages and Numbers, Apple's word processing and version of excel.. You can store your documents in that app and access them that way. Or there are tons of other word processing apps. I use Documents to Go (although it's not free so you may wish to experiment with the free apps first before you start paying)
File transfer....well Apple's work flow is that everyone has access to always on and always available internet, thus their workflow being built around the cloud and using the internet for file transfer, as well as e-mailing stuff to yourself. There are some flash drives out there that have their own wifi transmitter that may help you. You'd plug them into another computer, put the file on it, turn on the wifi transmitter and use a small localized hotspot to connect your ipad to and download the files to your iPad via an app that will come with the flash drive.

Solution for connection between BODS and WCF web service ?

Hi,
we have a unique requirement of connecting BODS to WCF webservice. This web service acts as a layer for connection between proprietary databases (secured) and other external systems. Queries are to be sent to this web service in order to fetch data from proprietary databases.
In order to connect to these web services, we should also provide Address, Binding and contract whose details are already present with us.
Example of web service address: net.tcp://op12345:10101/sd
I heard Adapters are the best way of connecting to the above web service, could you please provide some guidance on connecting through adapters if it is the best solution.
Could someone suggest the best possible approach(ASAP) to bring connection between BODS and web services and to execute the above requirement.
Please let me know in case of any more information.

One solution for missing Linux search bar options in Debian-based distros.

All search options and the ability to add/remove/edit and get more disappeared.
I uninstalled Firefox for politcal reasons in April, then reinstalled it (after a bit of research convinced me my protest was better aimed elsewhere.) The search bar failed to work.
These all failed:
> sudo apt-get remove firefox
> sudo apt-get install firefox
> sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox
> rm -Rvf ~/mozilla/firefox*
menu-->help-->troubleshooting [reset Firefox] nor [open profile directory]
SOLUTION:
When searching for version numbers in dpkg, I noticed two packages for firefox
> dpkg -l | grep firefox
ii firefox 29.0.1 amd64 The Firefox web browser
rc firefox-solydxk-adjustments 29.0.1 all Firefox adjustments for SolydXK
> man dpkg
confirmed my suspicion that the solydxk tweaks to firefox may have been broken by removing and installing firefox. (rc indicated neither properly installed, nor uninstalled.)
> sudo apt-get remove firefox-solydxk-adjustments
> sudo apt-get install firefox-solydxk-adjustments
Everythings working now. dpkg shows both packages installed correctly.
> dpkg -l | grep firefox
ii firefox 29.0.1 amd64 The Firefox web browser
ii firefox-solydxk-adjustments 29.0.1 all Firefox adjustments for SolydXK
I don't know how many Debian forks (Mint, Solyd, Ubuntu, Librenet, etc) might be similarly affected, but I thought I'd get this out there since I know at least one Mint user has seen it this past March.

Note that Firefox 30.0 has be out since Tuesday June 10 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Mozilla.org] so there may be a Firefox 30.0 now from your Linux distro if you choose to use those builds instead.
