Some metadata not or differently exported

Just discovered to my disappointment that when an image is exported LR takes away a lot of meta date. I use Nikon D80 and lots of specific Nikon meta data disappear. Gone from the EXIF fields are also white point setting, compression type and Pixel X and Y dimensions. I wish Adobe would not decide which metadata people wish to keep. I think some of these parameters are now in the XMP fields, but that creates a problem for my image management software, which extracts these data from EXIF. It can also extract them from XMP, but to do both is not very handy. If Adobe starts imposing norms like that, I would rather sacrifice LR than the other softwares.

The problem with Nikon is that many data are only [reliably] readable
by Nikon's own software, which is why iView/Microsoft use Nikon's SDK,
and Photoshop's ACR has its own mini-SDK from Nikon.
Another, as you point out yourself, aspect is that Lightroom is using
the newer XMP standard.

Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
- Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
- Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
- Only podcasts are affected.
- This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
- The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
As I said, this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

Exif metadata not displayed in Metadata panel & searching

Is there a way to customize the exif and/or IPTC data shown in the Metadata panel in LR 5?
And is there a way to search and/or filter on metadata not in that panel?
I needed to find some photos that have the exif category "art filter" and I cannot search for the value in that field in LR, nor does that field show up in the metadata panel. I can see it with J. Friedl's metadata plugin, or in GraphicConverter, so I know it's there. I tried searching on the text, but LR doesn't find it. What I'd really love is the feature where you have the little arrow by the metadata value in the panel and click it to filter by that criteria.
Is there a way to get LR to recognize and display other exif or IPTC data?

I'm not sure which metadata field you want to search -- is it the IPTC field "Category"? That field is displayed in Metadata > IPTC panel in the right column:
Unfortunately, that field is not searchable using LR's text search filter or smart collections.
In general, to view and search metadata fields not fully handled by LR, you've got to use a third-party plugin:
- Metadata Extensions makes additional fields that LR knows about searchable using the filter bar and smart collections.
- ExifMeta makes nearly all metadata fields viewable and searchable in LR.
- Data Explorer lets you more quickly view, search, and browse more of the fields that LR knows about.
- Any Filter lets you search any field LR knows about, writing boolean search queries similar to smart collections.
These plugins have different capabilities and are optimized for different use cases.

Aperture has stopped showing some, but not all, keywords on photos

I imported some new photos today and noticed that Aperture seems to have stopped displaying some, but not all, of my keywords. I'm noticing this on a large number of my existing photos.
For example, I've selected a photo and the Keywords tab of the Metadata pane lists: Amanda, iPhoto Original, Judy, and Zoo. That appears to be correct. However, the Keywords field in the top of the Metadata pane only shows iPhoto Original, and the only keyword displayed in the grid view is iPhoto Original.
Switching to a different metadata display does not help, nor does rebuilding the library. Reassigning the keywords seems to help, but that's not really an option for > 7,000 photos.
Anyone know why this is happening? Can I fix this?
Dave
PowerMac Dual G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Aperture 1.1.2

After poking around with BBEdit in my Aperture library, I think I see the problem. I chose a photo that Aperture won't display all the keywords and re-added them. I then compared all the files in the library for that photo with the same files in a backup library I had set aside.
It appears that at some point Aperture got the IPTC keywords out of sync with the actual keywords on the photos. Looking at the Version-1.apversion file (which is actually a .plist file), I can see that both copies have the same keywords on them (called tags in the plist), but the IPTCProperties.keywords summary does not reflect all the tags actually on the photo. Aperture appears to just display the keywords stored in the IPTC keyword summary instead of checking to see what keywords the photo actually has.
So, the keywords are still there, but the summary that Aperture displays is wrong and a library rebuild doesn't appear to rebuild the keyword summary.
My options at this point appear to be either re-apply all my keywords or write a tool to fix it for me (I guess being a developer has it's perks). I'll definitely be filing a bug on this...

HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop. Only 1:08 seconds exports. I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08. Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop. Only 1:08 seconds exports. I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08. Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try. The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

"The document could not be saved/exported as"

Since the installation of Mavericks, I get this problem that I have been trying to investigate, without success so far:
With all application (could it be Preview, Pages and so on), when I first want to save or export the document, the Save dialog displays the default folder (let's say the Documents folder), then if I try to "save" there, or in a child directory, I get a "The document XXX.xxx could not be saved/exported as XYX.yxy".
If, instead of browsing from this default directory, I go back to the root (that is, click "User" then "Documents" and so on), the error vanishes, and the next save goes OK. Until I close the application and start over.
A hint:
The same thing can happen when unzipping a file, and I once observed, when trying to make a new folder from the Unzipping dialog, a "This folder is read-only" indication. In this case again, selecting the same folder by going back to the root, made this indication vanish.
So my guess is that there is some permission problem with the default path / shortcut for writing documents, but I have no clue about how to fix this.
I tried fixing the disk permissions and running all maintenance tasks of Onyx, but the problem doesn't go away.
I would be grateful if anybody had a clue or solution!
Thanks

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select

from the menu bar.

Audio and video do not sync when exporting

the audio and video content do not sync when exporting to media browser or quicktime.. at times the audio is delayed, or ahead of the video

Wow, I was just about to post something similar. I've tried 4 different times, wasted a few dvds, and tried various ways of outputting to solve this...nothing. Here's my situation;
• I have a series of stills, with music underneath...kind of like a slide show.
• That ends, both music and visual, and I go to a black screen/slug that is :22, to give some breathing room before the video that follows. Also, the audio track fades out at the end of the stills...it does not continue into the slug.
• After the :22 of black, I fade into a video. HOWEVER, everytime I've done that, the AUDIO portion of that video is starting while there's still black on screen, then when the video comes in, it's way behind.
I've adjust the audio to now end before the slug, thinking that was somehow making iMovie go wonky. Didn't work. I've wasted a few dvds before I got smart and started checking before burning. And still, everytime, that section is not syncing, but, i syncs in iMovie, where I made the video.
This is HUGELY frustrating.

Hyperlinks do not work when exporting to PDF (Crystal and Visual Cut)

I have a question about Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Visual Cut 11. I create reports in Crystal and export them using Visual Cut. Some reports contain hyperlinks to files on a network drive. However, the links only work while in Crystal. The PDF files that are printed through Visual Cut display the links, but they are not clickable. How can this issue be fixed?
In case it helps, the links also work when I export reports from Crystal to HTML, Word, and Excel, but not when I export to Acrobat. I believe it is a problem with tagging/accessibilityfeatures. So is there a setting/formula in Crystal or Visual Cut that would allow the exported PDF files to be accessible?

While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks. Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

Crystal Report (visual studio 2005)-Hyperlink not working on exported PDF

I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.
After i exported the report to PDF, I check the PDF file, none of the link contains inside the PDF file.
It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.
Please advise,

Some Podcasts Not Downloading - Error 8006

I am running iTunes 7.4.2 - for some reason, some (but not all) of my podcasts suddenly will NOT update. Instead they have an "!" next to them, and when I click on the exclamation point, I get the following error message"
"There was a problem downloading (name of podcast). An unknown error occurred (8006). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
Any idea what this could be? I just want to update my podcasts and this is driving me crazy!
Thanks.

Hhhmmm!
That rules out my thought that perhaps the Podcasts had changed it's feed. Sometimes they do and then it is simply a matter of accepting two different feeds.
It may be a temporary glitch. Give it a day or two and if you still have the same problem, try ocntatcing the Podcast's producer to let them know of your problem. It may be something they can fix. (Apple are not usually involved in Podcasts.)

I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.) It happens for about 10 of 30/40 files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

Could not complete the export command because of an application error

Every once in awhile I get the error, "Could not complete the export command because of an application error" when using the Save for Web option. It's really confusing because the error is not consistent. I don't get it all the time. In fact, 99% of the time I can save with no problems. When I quit Photoshop and reopen my files they seem to save just fine. Does anyone know why this happens, and how to prevent it from happening in the future?
Here are my specs:
Macintosh: iMac
OS: 10.6.8
Photoshop: CS3 (v10.0.1)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

No idea about the specific issue, but I like to pass on some general advice I have received myself here over time:
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

TS1424 Some but not all of my purchases from iTunes store (TV shows) have been downloading in a Quicktime format that can't be viewed via iTunes or on apple TV (1st gen). I get error message when I try to convert.

Since I have a new iMac and now use Mountain Lion, I am observing that TV shows purchased in iTunes sometimes download in a Quicktime format that will not open in iTunes. In some but not all cases, I right click "open in" and select iTunes and then it will play. However, this doesn't always work. When I open in Quicktime and try to export to iTunes, that won't work. When I try Wundershare's Video conversation program, it won't even accept the file. What's going on here? Any ideas? Please reply [email protected] with any suggestions.

Thanks for the help Ricky.
I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.

Dear All,
Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
After effects:
“[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
AME:
"Can't read from source."
I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.
E.g.

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
Not really an option.
Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:

All help is much appreciated.

Hello Tim,
Thanks for the really quick response!
Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
I've uploaded the crashlog to:
http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running? Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProResCodec.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Martijn
