The metadata for this photo has been changed by another application.

getting this message on random photos....in different folders

If file not changed outside Lightroom, just save metadata (from catalog to disk) to extinguish. - prolly a bug..
If Lr still unhappy, then read metadata (from disk to catalog) afterward.
Of course, make sure everything is backed up before doing such stuff.

When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing the metadata and stop it?

Thanks Sean,
I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application...

Often, I am not sure how to answer that one. Usually, I'm not aware of having made any changes explicitly, either in Lightroom, or externally when I get this prompt. Generally what I'm dieing to know when I see this is:
"What is the difference between the metadata Lightroom has for it, and the metadata on disk?"
A feature that could show me what the difference is between the on-disk metadata and the in-catalog metadata would be most appreciated.
Rob

Sometimes I know I haven't changed anything in the external file. In this case, the supposed conflict seems to be a bug and I overwrite with Lightroom metadata without exception (but with fingers crossed) - that bug has been reported.
Other times however, I have edited the file in an external editor, and its possible that the external editor wants to add some information that may be worth having, or it may be that its lost the original information - this is when its a dilemma:
If I overwrite disk file with Lightroom metadata, I may be losing what the external editor added.
If I overwrite Lightroom metadata with disk data, I may be losing what Lightroom had and the external editor dropped.
This scenario has not been reported as a bug, since I don't know if it is one. If I could see the difference between the two, then I'd know.

Message regarding Metadata for this photo has been changed

We recently transferred from PC to Mac. We now get, over each image, an icon that when you hover over it the message says, "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" What should our action be please?

Normally, that message indicates that another program has changed the photo's metadata on disk after it was imported into the LR catalog. But sometimes LR generates that message spuriously, i.e. it's a false alarm. In this case, I think it is likely a false alarm, and you should choose Overwrite Settings. However, before you do so, make sure you have a good backup of your catalog, just in case. See Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog for how to make a manual backup of your catalog when LR exits.

Autosave/Versions Issue - 'This file has been changed by another application'

In Keynote and Numbers, I often informed that 'The document xxx could not be saved. The file has been changed by another application.' Clicking 'Revert' simply results in 'xxx could not be reverted.' (The particular box below is actually from TextEdit)
This snapshot is from the informative link: http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/lions-versions-feature/
In the above-mentioned site, the author attributes this to 'changing hosts' and working on documents from different hosts. Indeed, I started the document at home and edited it at another location (where I connected to a different Wi-Fi network). Reading system.log from console, I see my host is actually my wireless network, rather than xxx's-MacBook Pro, as usual. Some examples of the errors (from system.log) are...

I assume that the link is correct in that setting a new hostname is causing the problem. Unfortunately, I still have no idea how to fix it and I'm uneasy about the reliability of versions/autosave and/or my Time Machine backups.
Any advice, comments, or suggestions that you might have would be appreciated!

Hi Tony,
That's been reported here before, and it's happened to me. Maybe not exactly those words, but something similar, at least. I've always ignored the warning and have had no ill effects to date, that I am aware of. Nor have I ever figured out what the message may have been caused by.

I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

Cannot save ... The file has been changed by another application.

Hi,
This is to report a wierd behavior when pages is auto saving documents.
An error pops up "Cannot save ... The file has been changed by another application."
Clicking "save anyways" seems to save the document OK, but still this is very anoying.
Saving the document manually (from the menu) isn't showing any error message.
Can someone help with a hint as of when this will be fixed or is there a workaround?
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
Michel.
Pages version 5.0.1 (1478) on OS X 10.9

The phrase "by another application" makes it pretty clear that it is not Pages (or, in your case, Keynote).
What seems to be happening is that between the time that Pages opens a document, or saves it and the next time that it attempts to save it, something updates the document's file on the hard drive. Pages, recognizing that the file contains changes for which it is not responsible, presents this alert so you can decide whether you want to overwrite those changes. The usual suspects are backup and synchronization applications, like iCloud, which may not recognize the "Open" flag on the file, but I think it can also be triggered by AppleScripts, Automator workflows and Services, if they perform a "Save" action on the file.

Here's a fix for "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process"

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/System-Center-Service-fca7af29
A few months ago on the Technet Gallery, I submitted this custom control to be used on SCSM console forms. The purpose of the control is to eliminate the "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process" error
message that we all have seen at least once (a day :) ).
The details are in the gallery description (along with installation instructions for existing forms and your own custom forms).
Here's a "short" description (nothing I ever post here is short :) ): This is a custom control that can be applied to an SCSM form like the Service Request form or Windows Computer form or your own custom form built with the authoring tool or Visual
Studio. When you click "OK" or "Apply" on the form, this control scans the form and Service Manager's database for any changes to the object you have open. If a property that _you_ have changed on the form was _also_ changed in the CMDB
(by a workflow or another user), this control will present a dialog box letting you know what happened. It will also let you choose which value to keep (yours, theirs, or the original value).
Just as importantly (and important in a greater percentage of cases), if a workflow changes a "background" property (like FirstAssignedDate) while you have the form open and you click OK, the control will detect the change and allow the form submission
to go through while keeping your changes and the FirstAssignedDate change that the workflow made. You won't get an error message or even a warning. And most importantly, you won't lose your changes.
That's where the "optimistic" part of the control's name comes from. It applies optimistic concurrency control to SCSM forms, while also providing an anti-collision interface for you to use so you no longer lose any of your changes.
Furthermore, this control will work on related items that are opened in memory; for example, the activities on a Service Request. So if you change an activity's title while the workflow engine sets it in progress, you won't get an error. The activity will
be in progress and will get your new title when you click OK or Apply.
Lastly, (and I admit this part is getting into the deep inner workings of console forms) if your form loads a sub projection at run time (to the root object) this control will detect the load and treat that sub projection as if it were apart of the original
form all along.
I've gotten a little feedback about this control, but I'd like to get more since it's a work in progress. So, I'm announcing it here on the forums. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them here. Thanks,
folks!
Oh, and to answer the most common question right away: It's free. There is no paid version or anything like that. This is something I built for the SCSM community.

Great job!
Will definitely try it out.
Best regards,
Marcus

When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly. Do you want to remove this short cut? The program has opened and worked fine in the past.

You have (probably accidentally) moved or deleted the Lightroom program. You need to find it (have your operating system search for lightroom.exe) and move it back to where the shortcut expects it to be.

The maximum number of connections per source ('20') for this connector has been reached by this source IP address

Receive connector 'Connector Name' rejected an incoming connection from IP address "IP of our load balancer". The maximum number of connections per source ('20') for this connector has been reached by this source IP address.
I understand that I can up the limit - however, I'm wondering if there is a way to up the limit for ONE specific IP (our load balancer)
TAG

It does not look like you can up the limit for a specific IP but you might be able to create a separate receive connector for that IP address (and then change the limit).
That is just a thought. Others may have more input on why you may or may not want to do that in practice.
What SMTP traffic would not be coming from the load balancer?
Is the objective to *not* allow some other (possibly malicious) source from creating excessive connections to the server?
Otherwise, this is a good discussion about the different parameters that must be considered if you do decide to adjust the values (changing one may not suffice):

Workflow fails when page is created through the CreatePublishingPageDialog.aspx. The settings for this list have been recently changed.

Hi,
I've created a content type and attached a workflow to it so when I create a publishing page the workflow should run.
My Page creation is based on the "_layouts/15/CreatePublishingPageDialog.aspx" page in order to be allowed to fill in the required fields on item creation (so I don't have to go to the page afterwards and choose "edit properties").
On my page library I have "Require content approval for submitted items" and "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited?" set to YES.
This design has worked fine before I added my workflow. However now when I click save or check in/publish I get the below error. My guess is that the workflow starts (and blocks) right after I fill in the filename and click next in the "CreatePublishingPageDialog.aspx"
step to go to the required fields.
If I go back to my page after I receive the error below I can edit the required properties again and then publish the page correctly.
How do I avoid this? thank you

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

Hi,
Is there something not working? What is the core issue?
-It is a long story, I will take the short version. I have had several supportcase at Microsoft, I think in two yeas time. We have done RAP as a Service, and no big issue. I have reinstalled the MP just some Days ago.
I started with slow App-V 4 user centric deployment (hours). No I have an case at Microsoft support about Enable Win32_QuickFixEngineering class in the Client Setting hardware Inventory dont get enable at client side.
If I do policy reset I think it take long time 15-30 minuters to all actions show up again.
So I try to understand MP and policy, I have an feeling that something is not right but what?

Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash
