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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

How does metadata get changed by both Lightroom and another application??

I am frequently getting the message "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?" on images in my catalog. I use only Lightroom to organize, add keywords, do basic adjustments, etc. On the occasions I am taking an image into Photoshop to do further work, it's exported as a TIFF or PSD and the original stays in the LR catalog untouched by anything else I might do to the image.
I have two choices with this message: Use Lightroom's settings, OR overwrite them from disc. The first few times this scared me, as I had no idea where those changes were coming from and why the disc file had something different than the lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata saved in XMP files. But I took the chance and said overwrite LR settings, and saw nothing change on the sliders or image being displayed. I then tried a few saying 'keep LR settings', and again I saw no visible signs of changes. That leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but LR things they are somehow. But I don't like seeing it, I want it to go away unless there really are changes happening outside of LR (like if I went into Bridge or something...)
Any ideas why this message shows up? I just discovered about 100 images in a collection of images I sent to stock agency three years ago, and haven't done anything with them outside of LR since.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Users have complained for years about spurious metadata-has-changed notifications. If you're confident that you're not editing the file itself outside of LR, then choosing Overwrite Settings will rewrite the metadata in the file with the catalog metadata and (usually) make the spurious notification go away.
Unfortunately, LR doesn't tell you which metadata fields have changed, so users are left flying blind. I believe Rob Cole had a plugin that would tell you metadata differences between the catalog and the disk file, but his Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.
ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop is updating some EXIF data fields in the raw file, for example the "edited with software" field. Since Lightroom probably has already set that field, it gives you a warning that something changed.
Interesting hypothesis. I just tested that with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and couldn't reproduce the problem. I exported a TIFF from a cataloged raw file into the same folder as the raw, edited the TIFF and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved it. LR didn't report a metadata-has-changed notification.
In general, I'd be (only moderately) surprised that if you edited x.tif in PS, it would change any metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp.

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 fi

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
My pages are created through

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.

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?

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Do you want to import it? Yes or No" Any suggestions?

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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

In Creative Cloud, does the $9.99/month Individual Photography plan come with BOTH Lightroom and Photoshop CC? It is not very clear on the home page. It shows both and mentions both, but doesn't specifically say BOTH come with the monthly $9.99/month plan. Can somebody clarify?
