Unknown camera and unknown lens

Hello,
For some reason today, Aperture is not recognizing my camera or lens when I import images from my memory card. There is no photo or exif metadata being reported by Aperture for the photo's imported today. Photo's that were imported last Monday have the correct photo and exif metadata.
Photo's were taken with a Nikon D7000 and 35mm f1.8 DX lens. I used ViewNX2 to grab the metadata from one of the photo's on the memory card and the camera make and lens information are correct. When I open the file in Preview.app I can see the following metadata in the "Exif" tab:

Lens Info: 35, 35, 1.8, 1.8
Lens Model: AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G
Serial Number: (removed)
I noticed the Lens ID in the Aperture metadata shows -2,147,483,648. That seems odd to me. However, the Lens Model, and Lens Info appear correct. I checked the Lens ID number with Preview for one of the photo's in Aperture where the metadata appears correctly and it is the same -2,147,483,648 number. So, I surmise my camera likely does not use this field. From the "TIFF" tab I have the following metadata:
Artist:
Copyright:
Date Time: 2012-10-14 11:13:36 AM
Make: NIKON CORPORATION
Model: NIKON D7000
Orientation: 1 (Normal)
Resolution Unit: inches
Software: Ver.1.02
X Resolution: 300
Y Resolution: 300
The Make (Nikon Corporation) and Model (Nikon D7000) appear correctly. There is a "Nikon" tab as well which reports:
Flash Setting: NORMAL
Focus Mode: AF-S
ISO Setting: 0, 400
Lens Type: 6
Quality: FINE
Shooting Mode: 1
Shutter Count: 8,823
White Balance Mode: AUTO1
None of this metadata makes it into Aperture for any of the photo's imported today even though the metadata is being viewed with Preview directly from the corresponding JPG files imported into the Aperture library.
Other information that may or may not be relevant:
I reinstalled Aperture a little over a week ago because the names of the adjustment bricks suddenly changed to names that all started with "DG..."
Adobe Flash suddenly stopped working when viewing an online video today and I could not view a flash video from any website after that. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.
OS X 10.8.2 supplemental update was installed today after I noticed this problem (from 10.8.2).
Any idea's?
Steve

Update.
I trashed the preferences and moved the ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture folder. No change.
I created a new library, imported a photo and then could not see the project. Quit and Aperture will not open the library but I can open it with iPhoto. Sure enough, the imported photo does not have the photo or exif metadata. However, if I create a duplicate of the exact same photo from the master directory in the library and import it again using iPhoto, the metadata appears.
So, definitely an Aperture issue. Will try another reinstall.

IPhone 3GS first gives warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID! Restoring failes with error 1002!

My iPhone 3GS suddendly couldn't connect to the mobile provider's network. As I was in a rural place, I though this was because of bad coverage. It was then still possible to use Wi-Fi. After a while the phone asked to connect to itunes and gave the following warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID.
I tried recovering it but procedures failes after hours with error 1002.
Is there a fix for this problem or do I need to go to a service center?

Thanks Carolyn, I've tried all the options, but still it does not finish the recovering process. It stops with still a half millimeter on the statusbar .
Will probably just have to go to a service center. I already read that more people have the same problem and no one found a solution. As I am abroad and my iPhone largely exceeded the warranty time, I wonder what they will charge.

Unknown imei and unknown iccid

my iphone 4g 32 Gb after restore is showing emergency call no service and unknown imei, unknown iccid

If you are stuck on the Emergency Call Screen and have not access to your iPhone, then first step is to Restore the Firmware again, and Set Up iPhone as New.
If your iPhone is ON, then go to Settings App>Airplane Mode and toggle ON and OFF several times to see if you get reception bars, obviously leave it OFF.
If still problem, Settings App>General>Reset near bottom>Reset Network Settings.
If still problem, Restore Firmware and Set Up as New.
If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem.

Unknown coprocessor and unknown other device

I have a Compaq Presario F700 full model F712NR. For some reason 2 system devices windows couldn't find the drivers for.
I have spent several hours trying to find information on what coprocessor is in the system, but have had no luck.
The unknown device is apparently part of the acpi on the motherboard this is the only detail I receive in the device manager.
ACPI\HPQ0006
any info would be helpful. I got the system used with no operating system, and installed windows 7 on it when i finally was able to get a hard drive for it.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

That unknown device is the HP Quicklaunch.
Quick Launch
The coprocessor is part of the main chipset driver. You have the AMD model and I believe it uses the nForce 430 chipset with the nVidia 6100 graphics. You can use the HP Vista driver (32 or 64 bit) which should work fine

or you can use the Vista/Win7 driver direct from nvidia.com here (32/64 bit):

This is a much newer driver than HP's.

My Olympus E-620 and various lens do not appear in the camera profiles

Can the profile of my camera and various lens be added to the Lightroom profiles

Hi David,
It maybe that there are no profiles available for Olympus. I assume it’s an Olympus lens? I can’t see anything in LR5.6 using another raw file, although as you say many other manufacturers are listed.
You could try the tools at Adobe Labs either to download or create your own profile. Use the link below and scroll down to Adobe Lens Profile Creator or Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

Unable to open .eps file "unknown format and cannot be opened" ?

A client sent me an .eps file (logo). I tried opening it in Illustrator AND photoshop (just to see if it was saved in one vs the other program) - however to no avail.
Illustrator gives me a message "unknown format and cannot be opened"
Photoshop gives me a message "photoshop was unable to parse the postscript".
I'm using Adobe CS4, and I've never seen this message before—would love to know what this means and how to resolve?
File attached if anyone is able to open / fix it?
Thanks kindly,
Chemol

Thanks for the advice Scott - does compression improve the .eps? Is it
silly for me to ask them to compress it since the file is only 766 KB
(that's how big the attachment is in my email - though I am unable to open
it)?
My friend is able to open it on his end - however the 3rd person (client) is
the one who sent it, and I have already requested a different version - no
response from them yet. Unfortunately what the company "has" is what he
will likely give to me again (ie: same file / unable to open). So ... I am
curious about how I can resolve this issue on my end - if possible?
Do you know what the AI and Photoshop error messages mean? Could the issue
be a mac vs PC concern? Or is it a corrupt file? Could it be a software
version issue (old vs new) ... or Quark incompatibility?
.... just guessing at this point....Any insight as to what different
scenarios may apply in this situation would be greatly appreciated ..thank
you.

Firefox "stops responding messages" frequently + not sure what the plugins listed under updated ones as "unknown plugin" and " ?research "mean

hi there...
1) firefox has been giving me problems for several months where it just stops responding, meaning I click on one of the 5 tabs open then it gives me msg "firefox not responding", also happens when I am working with xsitepro website builder development software stops me from moving around the xsitepro program and firefox again says firefox not responding
Note: However, when firefox gives me "not responding msg" it responds after a few minutes and gives me access the tab i clicked on but then happens again when i try to click on another tab
2) went to a page that firefox listed plugins http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ and there are several plugins listed that I do not know what it means below the ones it says it is updated, those are listed as " unknown plugin and ?research "
Not sure what does this mean as far as those plugins that are listed unknown and research. I did a search to see if I could find those plugins under addons but did not see them listed so are these plugins being used and installed on my firefox browswer and if so why are they hidden if they are installed or are they not installed at all
I did a copy and paste of the plugin check page so u can see what i see below:

Okay, that's a lot of information. I think the key part for support purposes is this:

Just try yourself. Setup new profile and work a few days or weeks on any theme(s). Do not close tabs (at least ones, which you wanna explore once more). If your PC has 2-4Gb of RAM you will notice FF stopped to save session info after you will have a 50-100 tabs opened (you'll see sessionstore.js or session-backups\*.js script files reached 15-20-30MB long and stopped to change and it's LastMod date/time(s) are frozen) ...<br><br>
... I've noticed FF started to hang more and more and checked previous.js, recovery.bak, recovery.js was last modified on Apr, 14 but today is Apr, 16! I've lost one more hour trying to save tabs, even installed Session Manager, promised session saving on user demand but after a half hour of action against hanging FF, plugin showed me that I have NO ONE tab to save. I've managed to copy a few URLs to the text file before FF have completely fallen.</blockquote>
You're not the first person to report that the sessionstore.js or recovery.js file stopped updating with new activity. However, it's rare enough that I can't recall whether we have gotten to the bottom of it in a previous thread. I'll see whether I can search it up.
Meanwhile, someone might be able to come up with a way to watch for problems and extract some debug information, but I'm not personally familiar with such tools.

Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

You could try this.

I was updating my iphone in itunes, then it said the update went wrong and now does not recognize the phone. Says that it is an unknown iphone and I must restore the phone. How can I get it back without deleting all of my stuff?

I was updating my phone in itunes and the "update went wrong" and now the phone is not recognized by itunes. I unattatched the phone and it wont turn on or off, just shows a picture of the itunes symbol and a usb cord. In itunes it says that it is an unknown iphone and is in recovery mode so I need to restore the phone. If I restore the phone I loose all my pictures, which I dont want to do...and my contacts. Is there any way around this, so I can get my phone back to normal without wiping it all out? Thanks

To be more clear:
Was you phone hacked/jailbroken BEFORE you hooked it up?

TS1363 while updating my IOS to IOS 6 the updating process couldn't be completed for unknown reason and my iphone has nothing but a black screen with an apple and a meter that shows no progess. it completely froze!

When updating my IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 6 and after the download completed the updating of the iphone couldn't be completed for unknown error and the device froze and all i have now is a black screen with an apple and a meter that shows no progress I can't switch off my iphone or do anything!!!

Hi,
I had a similar problem last week with my nice shiny 3 week old iPhone 6. I noticed the Apple logo was on the screen, but it did not progress like a normal boot up. I restarted the phone, and it showed the Apple logo, then a red screen then cycled back to the logo and kept looping. I got the phone to the iTunes connection stage by keeping hold of the power button and the home button until the apple logo appeared then kept holding the home button. iTunes recognised the phone, and wanted to restore, but this was unsuccessful because the phone would keep looping to the red screen and iTunes failed. After loads of Apple support, I was told it was a hardware failure, and like you I live more than an hour away from the store. None the less, I made an appointment with the Genius bods, and they replaced the phone. They said they had never heard of the problem, but really, take a look at these forums and you will see that it is a common problem and I suspect they are keeping it under wraps...
My issue is that as a disappointed customer with faulty goods, why should i have to stick to an appointment to get it replaced? What other store would you have to do this?
The "Genius" didn't even want to see the phone powered up before offering a replacement... Oh, and it turned out they didn't have the exact same model as a replacement so they were going to send me out of the store empty handed.... I kicked off BIG time, and they very reluctantly gave me a phone from the sales stock, rather than the repairs stock..
Not a happy Apple customer anymore, and I feel the more people who know about the lack of service and customer care the better. They need to get off there high horse and join the real world!

I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.

Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

"E:\filename.ai" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened"

My computer crashed. I just re-installed Adobe Illustrator 10.03. Now some of my ".ai" files show funny looking icons and won't open and instead a pop-up that says "E:\filename.ai" is an unknown format and cannot be opened". Some of my documents are just fine. But there are several Illustrator docs in various spots on my hard drive that are giving me this error.
Any suggetions on how to get these files to open up?

OK. Now we're getting somewhere.
Without knowing more about the precise nature and cause of the "crash," we can only make guesses, and here's mine:
Basically, Katie, you're screwed.
My guess is that either the "crash" and/or your boss's subsequent handling of the D: drive (which might have been entirely proper) has caused data corruption on that drive.
If you have no backup for the files on the drive, and if those files are of critical importance, I would disconnect the drive immediately and get it to a data recovery specialist. The longer you have it connected, the more you reduce the chance of recovering data.
If the data are somewhat less than critical, you can try some basic recovery steps yourself. Start by making an image backup of the drive (to an external drive or removable media), then run chkdsk on it with the /r option. Rename any recovered files (with the .ai extension), and try opening them.
Finally, you might send the .ai files that won't open to a specialist who knows the Illustrator file format. He/she might be able to make some partial fixes that will, at least, enable you to open the files.
If you want, upload a few of the files to a server and post the link here. Some of the experts here might have a crack at it. (Put the files in a .zip archive first to protect them against further corruption during transfer.)
