What are all of the different metadata areas for?

In CS5, I notice there are lots of areas to enter info for an image, under IPTC Core, Audio, Video, DICOM and a Mobile SWF section.
1. Is all of this info, if entered, embedded into the file?
2. Where can someone view all of this info if they do not have Bridge on their computer?
3. What is the point of using all of it? Is it a convention or standard practice for photographers to enter all of this info for every photo?
Thanks!

1. It is indeed in the file, written to metadata.

2. In any program that can read metadata, and there are gazillions of those. In Photoshop, for instance, you can go to the File menu > File Info.

It's there for your convenience. Use it as you need or as you wish. It's all up to you.
Most photographers make sure that at least the © copyright info is included. Additionally many users put in information specific to the shoot, location, the author, any contact information, etc. Use as much or as little as you want or need or as your clients ask you to include. No more, no less.
Many users strip all metadata.
It's there for your convenience only.

What are the different metadata fields for in the Metadata presets?

The metadata preset box has a comprehensive array of metadata sections and fields. I just don't know what a lot of them should be used for. Some of them appear to duplicate headings in other fields, albeit with different names.
Can someone tell me what kind of information the following fields are meant for?
Basic Info
Label - I've seen this used for the authors credit. The "Creator" and "Copyright" fields seem to take care of this though. Should it be used for something else?
Copy Name - ?
IPTC Content
Headline - I've read that this is for describing the content. Isn't the "Caption" field in Basic Info for this?
IPTC Subject Code - ?
Description Writer - The author/creator? If not, who?
IPTC Image
Intellectual Genre - Same as "Category"?
ISO Country Code - ?
IPTC Status
Title - This may seem obvious, but the title often appears in the caption.
Job Identifier - I'm assuming this is for applying information pertinent to the author's filing system. If I'm wrong, what is it for?
Instructions - as above?
Provider - Author again?
Source - Author yet again?
I'm sure there will be those who will argue that some or even most fields can be used for whatever information we wish to put in. My point is that they must be there for specific reasons.
Oh yes, before someone points me in the direction of the IPTC website, I've been there already and it was full of gobbledygook!
Thanks in advance.

Also on the IPTC photo metadata site is a more approach able guide to using the fields:
http://www.iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/documentation/Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGui de_13.pdf
This guide was written for the original 1.0 IPTC Core specification, but I think it covers most of the terms you want to understand better. Specifically, it talks about the different roles the Headline, Title and Description (aka Caption) play as well as the Creator, Source and Provider.
Examples:
Headline:
A headline is a brief publishable synopsis/summary of the contents of the photograph. The Headline term should not be confused with the Title term.
Description:
The Description field, often referred to as a “caption” is used to describe the who, what and why of what is happening in the photograph. If there is a person or people in the image, this caption might include their names, and/or their role in the action that is taking place. If the image is of a location, then it should give information regarding the location....
Here are three other places you might want to look for or ask about how other photographers are using the metadata:
The PhotoMetadata.org web site
http://www.photometadata.org/
David Rieck's ControlledVocabulary.com
http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/
-See Resources > CV Forum to find the Yahoo! groups forum for the site.
Peter Krogh's, the DAM Book site and forum:
http://www.thedambook.com/

The "Label" field is used to control the colored label that's displayed for the file in Lightroom, Bridge and (when opening multiple files) in the Camera Raw plugin. Both Lightroom and Bridge ship with default values mapped to the six-standard label colors. In Lightroom choose the Metadata > Color Label Set > Edit... to change them. In Bridge, use the Label panel in the Bridge preferences dialog.
You can really use this for whatever you need, but unlike the other terms defined by the IPTC, you should not necessarily expect others to use them for the same thing. Putting the photographer's name there probably doesn't make much sense. I know one Photographer who's assigned the name of a stock agency to each of the label colors so he can track what file was sent to what agency.

Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free?

Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free? When I installed, I was not prompted for any licenses or to purchase anything.
I want to know why this is possible and if there are plans to charge for it in the future?

I don't know Oracle's ATS products specifically, but many of Oracle's products can be downloaded and used for free for learning purposes.
Typically, if you intend to use the products commercially then you need to pay for a licence, otherwise you are using it illegally.
This is usually described in the T&C's you agree to when you download the software.

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
Help!

What are the different Smartforms available for customer letters

Hi Gurus,
what are the standard layout sets available in Smartforms?.. How can I modify them.
I would like to find out the particular smartform in the domain of QM.
I am trying to generate a customer letter in smartforms with the sold-to-party details on top and the material he ordered in the body of the letter with other details like the quality process which we used and also I want to generate this form in .pdf and .doc formats for printing and faxing aswell.
Please help me in this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

for generating a standard type smartform u can find them in TNAPR table entries. but if u wanna have a customised SF then u have to create it.

HT1495 I am a teacher and we all have the same itunes account for school. I started downloading apps and it was downloading on others' ipads too. I shut off all the syncing on my ipad but other teacher are saying they still getting my stuff. What do I/th

I don't know if they just got my stuff from before and are just seeing it now or if they still are getting my information. I don't have anything to hide but it's awkward knowing other people are seeing all you are downloading and even messaging. I want to talk to them more and know exactly when and where they are receiving the information but I haven't yet. I talked with one teacher and she thought they just have to turn off the syncing or automatic downloads on their ipads. Will that stop it?

Turning off automatic downloads will stop the other iPads from getting your downloads. You should all do this on each of your iPads.
Settings>iTunes and App Store>Automatic Downloads>Off.... Music, Apps and Books - All Off.
As far as Messaging, if you are all using the same Apple ID, you will all receive the same messages because Messages uses the Apple ID email address as the means by which you are contacted. Apparently all of the devices were set up with the Apple ID, which is fine, but you should all associate a new email address on each device where you can be reached. One device can keep the Apple ID as the contact address.
Settings>Messages>Send and receive>Add another email address.
Add your own unique email addresses in there. Apple will verify those addresses. Go to the inboxes of those email addresses and read the email from Apple. Follow the instructions in the email in order to finish the verification process.
Then go back to Settings>Messages>You can be reached by iMessage at ..... and remove the Apple email address from all but one of the iPads. Or you can just uncheck the Apple email address as the contact address, select the new email address, and check the correct email address as the "start new conversations from"
You will now all have your own email addresses as the address at which you can be contacted with the Messages app.

What are the different model numbers for the glossy screen and the matte?

I just bought a 2.5 MBP from bestbuy and before I open it up I want to make sure I didn't get the glossy screen. Is there a way to tell from the box? It doesn't say glossy screen on it but I wasn't sure.
I am just switching over from having to use a PC for 15 years back to where I started using macs. What are the benefits of the glossy screen?

You may want to check out your local Apple store where both the glossy and matte screens are on display.
Glossy screens provide more vivid, vibrant colors and deeper, richer blacks. They're great for watching movies, viewing photos, etc.
Matte screens are good for use in high-sunlight environments or in situations where you have a lot of light shining on your screen. Many professional photographers opt for these screens because they more accurately reflect how a photo will look when printed. (Don't be confused -- photos look better on the glossy screen, but when you print them they'll look less vivid. Photographers don't like that because it makes it tough to anticipate how a photo will look when printed.)
Here's my two cents: I've spent 20 years on a matte screen. I used the glossy one for a day and you couldn't pay me to switch back. In my opinion, the glossy screen is fantastic.

What is the best metadata field for picture TITLE?

Hi -- as stated: what is the best metadata field to use to hold the title of a picture?
I've been using the IPTC field "Title", but:
- I think this is actually used for a person's job title, not the title of a picture, and
- I can't get it to show up in BorderFX (though it does show in Images exported and viewed in Preview)
"Caption" and "Headline" seem to be obvious choices. I'm looking for something is widely used, so that the titles I give my pictures will stay with them and be available to other programs and users after I export the Images from Aperture.
Thanks for you advice!
Kirby.

Correcting myself. After reading the User Guide it appears that the title does go in the Title field, imagine that.
IPTC Core Status section
Title
This field can be used as a shorthand reference for the image or “photograph” — primarily for identification. The title of an image should be a short, human-readable name — text and/or numeric reference —and may take several forms; for photographers this might be the filename of their original scan or digital camera file, for news organizations it might be the name of the story for which it’s to be used. (Note that there are new terms in the IPTC Extension which can also be used as image ID’s, if you are concerned about this field being overwritten later in the workflow). The Title term should not be confused with the Headline term, which is a short synopsis of the content of the photograph. There is a button in the panel which can be used to add the current file name to the Title field; however this will not work with a selection of images.
IPTC Core Content section
Headline
A headline is a brief publishable synopsis or summary of the contents of the photograph. Like a news story, the Headline should grab attention, and telegraph the content of the image to the audience. Headlines need to be succinct. Leave the supporting narrative for the Description field. Do not, however, confuse the Headline term with the Title term.
