Why is Lightroom doing this!!!

Every once and a while LR will make an absolute mess out of my images. It's like it's scrambling parts of the file. Then, even after deleting the XMP files, it still re-imports into the library with the crazy mess on it. I've even tried killing entire catalogs, deleting XMP files, and then re-importing with no success at fixing the problem. Then the identical damage shows up in Bridge, Camera RAW and JPEG's that have been output from LR. How do I get the adobe programs to stop displaying them like this once LR munches on them. Capture ONE, and DPP have no problem with the damaged files and output perfect JPEG's and Tiff files. I don't get it and it's making me crazy. Check out the links below to see what I'm talking about. OH! I have emailed one of these files to Adobe and they see the same thing I am seeing when opening the file on there own system (sent .CR2 file without XMP. / They have no solution). The only fix I have found was to replace the RAW file with a backed up RAW file that has not been touched by LR (luckily I back up most of my RAW files before they ever get imported into the program). But it's happening to often to keep doing this.

OK! Heres the newest twist. I just had another file get gobbled up by LR. But this time the damaged image appeared damaged in DPP and captureONE. However, in C1 the image appeared damaged but if I clicked on the focus tab, the details box showed a perfect image. Then, when I output a TIFF to photoshop the image had no problems. But the preview in C1 was still crazy. Then in DPP the thumbnail appeared damaged and when double clicking the image to enlarge it that also appeared damaged. But once I brought it into the develop module it all went away. Transfering the photo to PS showed no signs of damage.
The fix I found earlier in LR did not work this time. But it did once I got DPP to display a clean image. So the problem appears to be related to the previews that are being generated. Since DPP and C1 do not support XMP then that can't be the problem. But why are all these programs sharing the preview information. I'm starting to wonder if maybe it is a memory issue. This is a trouble shooting nightmare!

When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6 After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it. Why is it doing this?

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

No matter how many times I start itunes on my pc I have to agree to the terms of service gain and when it does open my settings have all been changed. why is it doing this and how can I satop it? reinstalling does not fix it.

McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.
Or a repair install of iTunes from the Programs and Features control panel might fix the problem.

I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday.....

I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday..... In addtion, those are the only options I have. I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two. Zero options. Phone works fine though.

I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
In a word, no.
If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

The most likely reason is that your carrier is not providing 3G service in the area where you're located. Contact your carrier for coverage details.

Why does the Video do this? Why is iMovie doing this all of a sudden

WAtch it. near the beginning, the video just freezes and my vid has a lot more.
Why is it doing this in imovie and how can I fix this?
I used mov and mp4 and they bot h did this. I made 2 other videos last night and it didn't od this. This one did.
I tried all thes tuff but it freezes in the video. I don't know why but it happens. how can I fix thi?

Hi M
That the Video freeses can have many origins. Most common is:
- less than 5Gb free space on internal hard disk
- use of external hard disk that is formatted FAT32 /DOS/UNIX/Mac OS Exchange
should be: Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended (journaled)
- other background processes running: Screen/Energy savers, photo as desktop
backgroud - even worse if it changes every 5th second
If You got > 25Gb free, no ext. hard disk and a clean desktop:
Deleting iMovie pref file - should help
iMovie
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
and
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie3.plist
AND I would also
- Run: Repair permisions: Apple Disk Util tool (on hard disk/Applications/Tools/Disk Util tool
and I would also
- Run: Repair hard disk: Apple Disk Util tool - to do this You need to start from
CD/DVD or external hard disk !

My iPhone says "o death" where the date should be on the lock screen, why is it doing this and how do I get the date back?

My iPhone says "o death" where the date should be on the lock screen, why is it doing this and how do I get the date back?

I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
Thanks for all your replies!

I forgot my iphone password, and everytime i try to restore it, it begins downloading ios all over again, which takes up to 5 hours. But my iphone software is completely up to date. Why is it doing this?

So basically i set a passcode and forgot it.. I want to restore my iphone. It's an iphone five and currently the software is all up to date. However whenever I try to restore it, I get this message that it's contacting the apple software server and then it begins downloading i.os which takes up to 5 hours. Why is it doing this?

The only way to deal with a forgotten passcode is to restore the phone.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?
