Viewing complete Meta data in PSE6

From the properties window I can only view the brief Metadata details.
If I check the box for 'complete', a further window appears stating that
Internet Explorer is trying to find a solution to the problem, and that
PSE6 will have to close. It duly closes & I have to start from scratch again.
Any suggestions, as PSE 3 gave every imaginable detail of camera settings
after highlighting an image in the Organiser ?

Sounds like PSE is crashing whenever you try to view Complete details in the
Organizer.
To narrow down a solution:
- Does this happen on just one of your photos or many of them?
- Does it happen on photos taken by a particular camera or scanner or
different cameras/scanners?
- Try editing a problem photo in the Full Editor, and do File > File Info.
On the Advanced selection, try expanding all the different groups of
properties in the right pane (XMP Core, XMP Media, TIFF, EXIF, etc.). This
view provides more detail than Complete in the Organizer, but it's less
convenient.
- In the Organizer, trying doing a File > Catalog > Repair and select
"repair anyway" if it tells you there are no errors.

Viewing Photo Meta Data on the IPhone

Is there an app in the app store that will allow me to view the meta data tags for my photos? I tried to find one, but the ability to find apps based on functionality in the app store is pretty limited.

Not sure on your exact need but try this site for app shopping... http://appshopper.com/. Much easier and quicker than the App store. There are a few others you can find with Google.

Viewing Podcast Meta Data?

On my old 30Gb iPod, when I downloaded a podcast (In particular Xbox Live's Major Nelson), I used to be able to click the wheel 3 times and it would show his comments about the podcast. Such as his interviews, and information about what the podcast contains.
If you look at iTunes podcasts you have downloaded, the information Im looking for is in the 'description' field.
Is there a way to show it with the iPhone 3G?
TIA.

The iPhone does not display the comments for the Podcast.
However, you can edit the file once it's downloaded and copy the description into the Lyrics tap in the Get Info window.
When you play the podcast, tap on the center of the screen and the Lyrics will display in the screen.

Meta data (song information) not updating in mini player for radio stream

I notice in the mini player view, the meta data does not update for radio streams. This is a big deal for me because I listen to radio stations all the time, and I don't want to have to switch between the mini player and full player to see the song information. This wasn't an issue in iTunes 10 (and previous versions as I recall), where I could just click to toggle between the name of the station and the meta information.

I understand your concerns, but regarding the headphone jack, this is standard procedure. While you may have checked these things, and know more about the player, a lot of people will not check the basic things before contacting support. The Advisors have to check these things with you first to make sure they've been checked.
As far as transferring data goes, it is true that unfortunately we cannot transfer data over for you or make a back-up. Doing this for all the returns for different players would require a lot of resources, time and money, making the RMA process a lot longer for everyone. In some cases, it's even necessary to replace the harddri've or the whole player.

Edit Capture Time - Meta Data

Ive imported photos into Lightroom from two cameras and noticed later than one camera must have been accidentally set to AM instead of PM. So my pictures arent in the proper order when I sort them by time. How can one edit the time on more than one photo at a time? When I select more than one photo in the Library view the meta data show "mixed".
TIA,
Amelia

In Grid View, select all the images from the camera that was set to the wrong time. Go to the Metadata>Edit Capture Time menu item. Then, choose the "Adjust to a specified date and time" option and set the correct time for the image that is showing. All the selected images will keep their positions relative to that image, but be adjusted by the same amount.It does exactly what you need.

Adobe Audition not saving Meta Data

I'm trying to save file information within an mp3 or wav file for our broadcast software (AudioVault) to read it and the information does not save.
We use versions 1.5 and Version 3 and they both exhibit the same behavior.
I have followed the info below but it doesn't work.
The File Info command opens a dialog box in which you can see and add metadata—descriptive information that a computer can process and search—about the open audio file. For example, metadata can include history, loop, and Broadcast Wave information.
For audio files in WAV, mp3, or CEL format, you can use the File > XMP Info command to add XMP metadata. This extensive metadata can be shared across databases, file formats, and platforms. (See Add or edit XMP metadata.)
1. In Edit View, choose File > File Info.
2. Click the tabs at the top of the dialog box to navigate between different sets of properties.
3. Set properties as desired, and click OK.
To preserve file information when you save files, select Save Extra Non‑Audio Information in the Save dialog box.
It is not saving the start and end date. Here's what I'm doing. Open mp3 file. File-File Info, toggle text field names to Radio Industry.
Fill out Description, Advertiser, start date, end date, click ok. click file, save as (clicking save extra audio infomation)
now close the file and reopen it and the start and end date are gone. Ideas?

After talking with BE I discovered that the following procedure will save
the
meta data providing it is saved in a WAV format (mp3 doesn't work.)
Open your mixdown in the waveform view.
Hit ctrl P and the wave properties window will appear.
Fill out title, artist. Cut number, category and date.
When you save as make sure save extra non-audio info is checked
Then in the dropdown save as type choose WAV windows pcm.
Your completed file can now be dropped into an AV import folder that should
transfer
Into the system with all the information in their proper fields.

How i know the jdbc driver not compatible to this
mechanismBy reading the documentation tthat comes with your driver. Recent versions of the MySQL JDBC driver do support the getExportedKeys/ImportegKeys methods but the table needs to be crated as InnoDB.
So run the SQL command
show table statusWhats under the Type column for your table? If it isn't InnoDB then this isn't going to work.
If it is InnoDB but getExportedKeys/ImportegKeys still don't work then you haven't used the "foreign key" constraint in your "create table" command

Dynamically how to get the meta data of an ui element which is custom one

Hi All ,
In SRM , I want to know the meta data declarations of an UI element in my webdynpro component ..How to know this ..Can anyone help me in this ..I want to know the meta data of an ui element .
Sandeep

You really aren't supposed to read the properties of active UI elements directly. Instead they should be bound to context attributes and then you read these attributes via normal context APIs. If you absolutely needed such access because this is a standard SAP WD, then consider that the WDDOMODIFYVIEW is the only part of th event loop where you are allowed access to the View and its UI elements.

Images (w/correct meta data) are in catalog and on disk, but LR 5.7 considers them new on Import

For reasons explained below, I want to try to re-import all my images into LR and hope that none/few are in fact considered new and are imported. Yet, for some folders, LR is apparently unable to detect that my source images are already in the catalog, and are on disk, and that the source file meta data matches what LR knows about the images. When I click an image in LR and Show in Finder, I do see the imported image on disk. I can edit the image in the Develop module. So, it seems good, but all is not well.   Sorry for the long post here, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could, as I am really seeking your help, which I'd very much appreciate.
Here are some screen shots that illustrate the problem:
Finder contents of the original images
LR folder hierarchy
an image as seen in LR
Finder content of external LR copy of images
import showing 10 "new" photos
The original images ... (I'm not sure why the file date is April 2001 but the actual image date is January 2011; I may have just used the wrong date on the folder name?)
The LR folder hierarchy ...
An image as seen in LR ...
The external folder containing the images in the LR library
But on import of the original source folder, LR sees 10 "new" photos ...
I tried "Synchronize Folder ..." on this particular folder, and it simply hangs half-way through as seen in the screen shot below.   IS THIS AN LR BUG?   This is really odd, since "Synchronize Folder ..." on the top-level folder completes quickly.
I have a spreadsheet of of the EXIF data for the original files and those created by LR. (I extracted this info using the excellent and free pyExifToolGui graphical frontend for the command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey.)   Almost all of the Exif data is the same, but LR has added some additional info to the files after import, including (of course) keywords. However, I would not have expected the differences I found to enter into the duplicate detection scheme. (I didn't see a way to attach the spreadsheet to this posting as it's not an "image".)
I'm running LR 5.7 on a 27" iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, having used LR since LR2. I have all my original images (.JPEGs and RAWs of various flavors) on my internal drive on the Mac.   To me this is like saving all my memory cards and never re-using them.   Fortunately, these files are backed up several ways.   I import these images (copying RAWs as DNG) into LR with a renaming scheme that includes the import number, original file creation date and original file name.   There should be one LR folder for each original source file folder, with the identical folder name (usually a place and date). I store the LR catalog and imported images on an external drive. Amazingly and unfortunately my external drive failed as did it's twin, same make/size drive that I used as a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.   I used Data Rescue 4 to recover to a new disk what I thought was almost all of the files on the external drive.
So, I thought all would be well, but, when I tried "Synchronize Folder" using the top-level folder of my catalog, the dialog box appeared saying there were over 1000 "New" photos that had not been imported. This made be suspicious that I had failed to recover everything.   But actually things are much worse than I thought..   I have these counts of images:
80,0061 files in 217 folders for my original source files (some of these may be (temporary?) copies that I actually don't want to import into LR)
51,780 files in 187 folders on my external drive containing the LR photo library
49,254 images in the top-level folder in the LR catalog (why different from the external file count?)
35,332 images found during import of the top-level folder containing original images
22,560 images found as "new" by LR during import
1,074 "new" images reported by Synchronize Folder ... on the top-level folder in the catalog; different from import count
Clearly things are badly out of sync.   I'd like to be sure I have all my images in LR, but none duplicated.   Thus, I want to try to import the entire library and have LR tell me which photos are new. I have over 200 folders in LR. I am now proceeding to try importing each folder, one at a time, to try to reconcile the differences and import the truly missing images. This will be painful. And it may not be enough to fully resolve the above discrepancies.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help!
Ken

Thanks for being on the case, dj!   As you'll see below, YOU WERE RIGHT!      But I am confused.
    1. Does the same problem exist if you try to import (not synchronize) from that folder? In other words, does import improperly think these are not duplic
YES. Import improperly thinks they are NOT duplicates, but they are in fact the same image (but apparently not the EXACT SAME bytes on disk!)
    2. According to the documentation, a photo is considered a duplicate "if it has the same, original filename; the same Exif capture date and time; and the same file size."
This is my understanding too.
    3. Can you manually confirm that, for an example photo, that by examining the photo in Lightroom and the photo you are trying to synchronize/import, that these three items are identical?
NO, I CAN'T! The ORIGINAL file name (in the source folder) is the SAME as it was when I first imported that folder. That name is used as part of the renaming process using a custom template. However, the file SIZES are different.    Here is the Finder Get Info for both files. Initially, they appeared to be the same SIZE, 253KB, looking at the summary. But, if you look at the exact byte count, however, the file sizes are DIFFERENT: 252,632 for the original file and 2252,883 for the already-imported file:
This difference alone is enough to indicate why LR does not consider the file a duplicate.
Furthermore, there IS one small difference in the EXIF data regarding dates ... the DateTimeOriginal:
                                                                                               CreateDate              DateTimeDigitized                    DateTimeOriginal              FileModifyDate                              ModifyDate
ORIGINAL name: P5110178.JPG                                     2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:01:17 11:29:00        2011:01:17 11:29:00-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05
After LR rename: KRJ_0002_010511_P5110178.JPG    2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:05:11 15:27:18        2011:01:17 11:29:02-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05
So ... now I see TWO reasons why LR doesn't consider these duplicates.   Though the file NAME is the same (as original), the file sizes ARE slightly different. The EXIF "DateTimeOriginal" is DIFFERENT.   Therefore, LR considers them NOT duplicates.
     4a. With regards to the screen captures of your images and operating system folder, I do not see that the filename is the same; I see the file names are different. Is that because you renamed the photos in Lightroom (either during import or afterwards)?
I renamed the file on import using a custom template ...
        4b. Can you show a screen capture of this image that shows the original file name in the Lightroom metadata panel (it appears when the dropdown is set to EXIF and IPTC)?
SO ....
The METADATA shown by LR does NOT include the ORIGINAL file name (but I think I have seen it displayed for other files?). The File SIZE in the LR metadata panel (246.96 KB) is different from what Finder reports (254 KB). There are three "date" fields in the LR metadata, and five that I've extracted from the EXIF data.   I'm not sure which EXIF date corresponds to the "Data Time" shown in the LR metadata.
I don't understand how these differences arose.   I did not touch the original file outside LR.   LR is the only program that touches the file it has copied to my external drive during import. (though it was RECOVERED from a failed disk by Data Rescue 4),
NOW ...
I understand WHY LR considers the files different (but not how they came to be so). The question now is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?   Is there any tool I can use to adjust the original (or imported) file's SIZE and EXIF data to match the file LR has? Any way to override or change how LR does duplicate detection?
Thanks so very much, dj.   Any ideas on how to get LR to ignore these (minor) differences would be hugely helpful.

Materialized view to ensure data integrity over multiple tables

Hello,
I have a problem and I am not able to solve it. Partially, It is because of my poor SQL skills. I have three tables and I am using one sequence to enter data into them.
What I am tying to do is to create a materialized view ( complete or fast, whichever) with refresh on commit option to check that each table contains unique data in comparison to other.
I am posting code so you can get along:
CREATE TABLE table_1 (
ID NUMBER PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE table_2 (
ID NUMBER PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE table_3 (
ID NUMBER PRIMARY KEY
INSERT INTO table_1 VALUES (1);
INSERT INTO table_1 VALUES (2);
INSERT INTO table_2 VALUES (3);
INSERT INTO table_2 VALUES (4);
INSERT INTO table_3 VALUES (5);
INSERT INTO table_3 VALUES (6); I want to write create a materialized view that will give me output only in case that there are same values in two different tables. I got this far.
CREATE MATERIALIZED view mv_test
REFRESH COMPLETE ON COMMIT
AS
SELECT count(1) ROW_COUNT
FROM dual
WHERE EXISTS (
     SELECT a.id
     FROM table_1 a
     WHERE a.id IN(
         SELECT b.id
         FROM table_2 b))
OR EXISTS (
    SELECT a.id
     FROM table_1 a
     WHERE a.id IN
             (SELECT c.id
             FROM table_3 c))
OR EXISTS (
    SELECT b.id
         FROM table_2 b
    WHERE b.id IN
             (SELECT c.id
             FROM table_3 c));
    ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_test
    ADD CONSTRAINT cs_mv_test
    CHECK (row_count = 0) DEFERRABLE; This sql statement itself returns no rows if my logic is correct. And in case there were some duplicate rows in two different table, it would return 1 and constraint would throw an error.
However, I cannot create this with ON COMMIT option. When I try to compile I get:
ORA-12054: cannot set the ON COMMIT refresh attribute for the materialized view I went through documentation, tried creating mat_view logs etc.
I know that one of the mistakes is that I am referencing dual table and I am not sure if I can use EXISTS.
Unfortunately, my SQL wisdom ends here. I need help rewriting the sql, so it would work in materialized view with refresh on commit option. Please, help!!!
I know that since I am using a sequence there is little chance that same value will get into two different tables, but I would like to perform somekind of check.
Thank you in advance.

>
I know that since I am using a sequence there is little chance that same value will get into two different tables, but I would like to perform somekind of check.If you are certain that you control all the inputs to the table and you are definitely using one sequence to insert into all three tables then there is physically no possible way you will get duplicate values across tables.
Writing something to check if this is the case would almost be like writing something to verify that 1+1 really does equal 2 in 100% of cases.
if you must, however. consider something similar to the following which may be more performant:
select *
from table_1 t1
full outer join table_2 t2 on (t1.id = t2.id)
full outer join table_3 t3 on (t1.id = t2.id
                                 or
                                 t2.id = t3.id)
where t1.id+t2.id+t3.id not in (t1.id,t2.id,t3.id);

Can No Longer Edit Song Meta Data In Latest iTunes 11.1???

I just discovered that since the update to version 11.1 I can no longer manually edit the meta data by using the Show info function, all options are greyed out. For instance I can no longer adjust the volume level on a song nor can I edit the fields for song title and artist tec. There is also no longer any tab for album art when using the Show Info function on a song that has no album cover art. On songs that already have an album cover there will be an album art tab but the options there are all greyed out so I can not change the album cover art if I wanted too. This really *****, I can no longer edit album cover art for songs that have another cover already and I can not add any cover picture at all for songs that have no cover art (unless I manage to get the cover from the iTunes store but that is very often not successfull).
Another bug I found is that I can no longer add any video file to my playlists.
So this new update really ***** for me and have ruined my itunes experience.
Do anyone else in here have the same problem?
I really hope Apple will fix these bugs as soon as possible!

I think I finally found a solution to this problem. It appears that for some reason, some songs you download will maintain write protection that the original owner had set on his/hers computer. In my case for this Ellie Goulding album that I had problem with, it turned out my friend who gave it to me had some of the songs stored on his iPad and that caused the files to become write protected it seems, and this write protection was transfered over to my PC. To solve this issue, everytime you encounter a song in iTunes that you can not edit just right click it and select Show/View In Explorer, that will take you to the storage location of the file in question. Now right click the song and select Properties and see if it is write protected, if it is then just uncheck that option and click ok. Now you should be able to edit the meta data for that song again. So it appears this is not a bug in iTunes but rather a write protection issue.

OBIEE 11g Map Visualization Error - basemap is defined in spatial meta-data

Hi All,
I have installed OBIEE 11g successfully on my Desktop Machine, deployed the Sample Applications regarding Mapviewer and its working fine. I have seen all the Maps and they are running fine in fact they are editable and i can easily do anything with those Maps but,
The issue is that when i am going to create a new Report and try to integrate Map on it then it shows an error as display below;
A basemap is required to render a map. Please ensure that atleast one basemap is defined in the spatial meta-data
Error Details
Error Codes: EMGUNIA3
Location: saw.views.evc.activate, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool,

I have also followed this link ( http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2011/01/obiee-11g-inbuilt-mapping-and-spatial.html ) but it is also stuck on the same error at the end.
I didn't understand the problem why its giving an error like this while the Sample Application worked fine so, if there is any way to define a basemap in spatial meta-data plz guide me OR
Is there any way to integrate Map with OBIEE 11g ?
Cheers,
Masood.

This question has been solved!
Basically you need to ensure the database schema where the data source (Navteq) has been imported must have the privilege "Create Type"
This comes from the Oracle manual extract as shown below:
1.4.4.3 Creating MapViewer Array Types, if Necessary
For each database schema that it connects to, MapViewer checks for the existence of
the following SQL array types that support array-type binding variables that might
exist in some predefined themes:
■ MV_STRINGLIST
■ MV_NUMBERLIST
■ MV_DATELIST
If these types do not exist, MapViewer attempts to create them in the database schema
associated with the MapViewer data source. However, if the user associated with that
schema does not have sufficient privileges to create new types, a privileged user must
create the types by connecting to the data source schema and entering the following
statements:
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_STRINGLIST as TABLE of VARCHAR2(1000);
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_NUMBERLIST as TABLE of NUMBER;
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_DATELIST as TABLE of DATE;
Cheers.

Used Relocate Masters to new g-drive. Lost Aperature Library and meta data

how i crashed aperature
1.56 aperature
all updates current
tiger 10.4.11
all updates current
Goal was to move Aperature Library from MBP to g-drive.
what i did:
1. "Relocate Master" to g-drive. Success. Aperature still viewed all Files with all Meta Data normally.
2. Collapsed "Library" in Projects Panel. Did not delete Projects. Did not delete any Photos.
3. Preferences > Image Management > set new Aperature Library on g-drive.
4. Uploaded new photos from a Canon and viewed them successfully.
5. Ejected g-drive correctly.
what Aperature is not doing now:
1. no Projects show up.
2. no Referenced Photos show up.
3. no Vaults show up. Note: the Vault was originally on MBP, but I foolishly did not set one up on g-drive before moving. I also have a back up Vault on a different g-drive that is, unfortunately, not up to date with all current photos before move.
4. Aperature Library on g-drive is there but can not open any files in it. [note: item 3 above]
5. Image files listed in g-drive but won't open in Aperature but do open in Preview or Gimp, etc.
6. Aperature does not show any Vaults nor does it access Referenced Files.
*Can you help ?*
*I guess these would be the questions:*
1. How can I get the pics from the g-drive back into an Aperature Library with all the previous Meta Data attached to each Version?
2. How do I get the Aperature Library - I put on the g-drive - to open in Aperature?
3. If #1 is impossible - I guess I set up a Vault on the g-drive and move what I have from the back up Vault mentioned above.
*Thanks for any advice !!!*

If I an not mistaken, I may have read through your pdf's quite a while ago. I am still trying to digest them and then apply them to my needs. If I had known that small projects may be faster and easier to manage than larger ones I would have done my imports quite differently. I chose to use Aperture in the first place to organize and add information to photos. I archive old photos. In particularly from 350th Fighter Group, WWII in the Mediterranean. So one "Project" of mine is =/-5000 images in the form of TIFF scans. I imported all of these into 1 project. Then I started applying metadata and keywwords like crazy. This allowed me to start to sort the photos into categories and find multiple version of the same image. I started making stacks of all the multiples. Then with smart albums and smart web sites I was able to create what might now be smaller projects. Since I gather information from others by sharing these photos on a website, You are able to see the smart websites here.

One cool thing is that various images reside in multiple smart webs based on common keyword. But now that I have all this organization, it seems it is time to put all my originals in a similar order via Aperture.
By the way, my files are reference files unless I make the mistake of importing them without leaving them in there original location.
I am thinking of starting over with blue folders. But I can't seem to get my head around it.
