Why won't LR read my xmp?

I accidentally deleted my photos in my 2013 folder. I meant to just erase the <2 stars photos but erased them all by mistake.
I restored them from the same folder that was saved on an external drive.
Now LR and CS5 do not read the edit, keyword and ratings data from the xmp files.
The xmp file names match the CR2 file names.
Each xmp file is next to its CR2 file as it should be.
I emailed an xmp file to a friend and his LR made the xmp changes to one of his CR2 files. Therefore the xmp files are good.
Upgrading from LR 5.0 to 5.2 didn't solve the problem.
LR still works: If I add new edit, keyword or ratings info, it saves and reads the new adjustments but it ignores the original adjustments.
If I can't get LR to read the current xmp files I will have to re-edit, re-keyword and re-rate about 700 photos. Any help will be appreciated!

In the Develop Panel the History only show that it was imported. No edits are listed.
As DdeGannes was saying, that is expected.

Metadata Status: Has been changed.
I take it if you force Lr to try and read the xmp, then you'd have the 'Reset Settings' in edit history, indicative of the problem we've been battling all this time... - right? And what would/does metadata status say after doing that?
PS - There are a lot of possibilities not yet considered. Lr/xmp is complex. The fact that my Lr5 can read it and yours can't doesn't really mean much, except there's some difference - the proof is in the pudding... - for example: it could be that the problem is due to a lens profile on your machine. Mine didn't have the lens profile (or just wasn't applicable, since I was reading xmp into a different camera model), so Lr silently did without, thus bypassing the problem, etc.......

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

Why won't adobe reader open my jpeg files?

why won't adobe reader 11 open my jpeg files?

Hi Nassman,
Adobe Reader is a read only software for PDF files. JPEG is not a supported format which would open in Adobe Reader. You would need to open Jpeg in application which supports this file format.(e.g. Photoshop, Picture Viewer, MS Paint)
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

Why won't iTunes read an RSS file

I have had Radio National podcasts in itunes for a while but it has not updated since Dec 13 and I went to the website to download the new podcasts and it says that I do not have a RSS reader loaded?
Why won't itunes do it?
thanks
Lee

Are you talking about one of these:
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/podcasts/program/
Click where it says 'Subscribe in iTunes'. When the page opens, click 'View in iTunes'. When iTunes opens and shows the Store page click 'Subscribe'.
If that doesn't answer it, you need to give more details as to what exactly you are doing.

Why won't Adobe Reader install on my iMac OS Yosemite?

Adobe Reader seems to download okay but won't install. Any thoughts?

It is very confusing having two users with two different problems in one discussion.
To the o/p: try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If that doesn't work either, please provide details on "won't install".

Why won't logic read my guitar??

I have input 1 set to instrument. I've tried every combination of phase invert and phantom power (although i dont even know what those things are) and my guitar still won't read. Fresh batteries, volume turned up. I've tried all diff settings on my guitar.

Also, this same input jack works fine with my keyboard, so why not the guitar???

Why won't excel read my csv file created with the powersell out-file automatically.

I wrote a PowerShell script that creates a CSV formatted file. The script simply creates a comma delimited string for each entry and adds it to a collection. Then the out-file command write it to a file.
When you open it with Excel each line is put into one cell. If you import the file and specify the "," as the delimiter, it imports just fine. If the data is saved out again as a csv file, the file is about half the size and opens
just fine with excel.
If you open the original file and the file created by Excel with notepad, they look the same.
So the files are different in size, contents look the same, but Excel won't automatically open the original file.
Any ideas of why this happens? Also PowerShell and Excel are both running on Server 2012 R2. Excel is a remote app.
If I do an export-CSV, I get some kind of information about the object.
Here is the script:
foreach ($group in $groups)
   $header += '"' + $group.name + '",'
   $CSVdata = @()
   $CSVdata += $header
   # Create a user entry
   $users = Get-ADUser -filter * |select SamAccountname, Name | sort SamAccountName
   foreach ($user in $users)
      $Groupmembership = Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $user.SamAccountName
      $userentry = '"' + $user.SamAccountName + '",'
      $user
      foreach ($group in $groups)
          if ($Groupmembership.SamAccountName -contains $group.SamAccountName) { $userentry += '"X",'}
          else { $userentry += '"",' }
       $CSVdata += $userentry
      $CSVdata
      Out-File -inputobject $CSVdata -FilePath c:\batch\GroupMembership.csv

Ok the script works exactly like I want it. Thank you very much.
I am trying to understand the script but I am unable to figure out what the line "$keys=$t.Keys|%{$_}"
does. I figured ".keys" was a method but my search for it comes up blank. Do you have a reference you can point me to?

Why won't adobe reader show text?

I am working for my eagle scout rank and in order to do my service project, a form must be filled out on the computer as a pdf. I started the PDF on my old dell, and i downloaded Adobe reader for my mac to finish it. For preview, it takes the lines of the paragraph and overlaps the words, rendering it unreadable, and for adobe reader, the words are invisible unless editing those words. when the text box isnt selected the words disappear. Why isnt this working and is there a setting i can change to fix this?

Difficult to say without further details. The fact that both Preview and Adobe Reader have difficulties with it suggests that the file itself may be corrupt—or that you have fonts issues on your Mac.
You need to isolate the problem. Download another PDF file and check if it shows any anomalies. Gather info on the problem file; eg, in Preview, use Inspector (Tools > Show Inspector) and check PDF version, content creator, and PDF creator.

Why won't adobe reader open now?

I have just updated my adobe reader software on my ipad as prompted by adobe. And now it will not open. Why?

There is currently a problem with the 11.2.2 version of Reader running on iOS6. The engineers already know about it and will have a fix soon.

Why won't Adobe Reader X let me save PDFs?

This all started fairly recently, like within the last few weeks.
If I hit save when I am in Adobe Reader X, it does nothing.
Scenario 1: Online
If I view the docuemnt within my browser, then click on the icon at the bottom that says Save, nothing happens.
Scenario 2: Offline
If I view a document i have on my hard drive, I can view it fine, but if I highlight something, then save, it says "where do you want to save it" and "are you sure you want to overwrite?" and then nothing happens. If I then attempt to close it, it will say "Do you want to save it?" then the other two questions and then nothing happens. I have to "Revert" then close if I want to close the document.
Per a previous thread that semed to be abruptly cut short on exactly the same topic, i tried their solutions as well:
Right clicking on a link to a file online, and saving works just fine.
However there was no response from the original asker after those steps, and that didn't help me.
Any thoughts?

I've seen the same behavior - floating toolbar save button or main toolbar save button ineffective even though enabled. Win 7, 64 bit + Firefox. Very frustrating when trying to save local copies of financial statements, etc. I did find a workaround that hasn't failed me yet: with a problem document open in the viewer:
Try to save (Ctrl+Shift+S OR floating toolbar OR main toolbar). If it fails ...
Click print (tried both floating or main toolbar, assumbe Ctrl+Shift+P would work too)
When the print dialog window appears, cancel
Try save again.
Works now!

Why won't adobe reader download?

Hi,
I am running windows vista ultimate 32-bit operating system. I had adobe reader 10.1.13. While trying to open an important document, it said that I needed the latest adobe to open. I tried to update to 10.1.4, but it kept getting hung up on step 2.
I finally uninstalled adobe and tried a new download of 10.1.4. But I still can't get past step 2. I have tried to download in both Chrome and IE9 without success. My active scripting is enabled in IE. I finally tried to download adobe XI, but that too failed. I restarted the computer in between each attempt. I had this problem updating updating adobe flash and last week someone provided a link that worked, but I cannot find such help for reader and am hoping someone can help me.
I now have no reader at all and there is a very important, time sensitive document that I need to open from the state of IL. Can someone please help? Thank you.

Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Note that Reader XI is not compatible with Vista; download/install Reader 10.1.4, then update it to 10.1.13.

Why won't adobe reader print a .pdf?

I have worked on this Mac at my job for 3 years. Much of my job is online research, and I frequently print .pdf documents, or "Open .pdf In Preview" and select pages to print.
About 2 weeks ago I found that .pdfs would no longer print or Open In Preview. I can still Select the content and copy it to a Word doc and repair the formatting for printing.
But I would really like to just print the .pdf.
How to find out what's wrong? How to fix it?
I have already re-installed Adobe Reader and downloaded the latest version.
Thank you for any help.

Hi Shayne Laughter,
Adobe Reader is for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia, hence we cannot print documents to PDF using this.
Also, Preview is a default application in Mac used to view and edit images and PDFs. If you are not able to print documents to PDF then the issue is with Preview and I would suggest you to check with Apple.

Why Won't Adobe Reader Find Items in a Document That Are Clearly There?

I performed a regular and advanced search of a document for words that I knew were there and Adobe Reader told me that they were not there. I was looking at one instance of the item that I searched for and Adobe Reader told me that it wasn't there but I was looking directly at one place where the words I am searching are located. Adobe Reader tells me that it is not in the document ANYWHERE, which is a lie because I can read and the words for which I searched are there at least once but Adobe Reader tells me that the words for which I am searching are not in the document at all. This isn't the first time that this exact thing has happened to me with Adobe Reader, I am simply tired of taking extra time out of my day to search a document manually when there are supposed to be tools to do that for me. Sorry for repeating my problem twice but I am frustrated and I want to make myself ABUNDANTLY clear. Can anyone help me?

It all depends on how the PDF was created. One reason text isn't found is because there isn't any text, just an image of text. This will happen with a scanned document that hasn't been OCRed. Another reason is when a font's Unicode mapping table in the PDF are missing or corrupted, which breaks the link between a glyph and its corresponding character code. In short, there is no association between a glyph that looks like an "A" with the letter "A" that you type. If you could post a link to a sample document, we could tell for sure what the problem is.

Why won't Adobe Reader accept my password to convert pdf to Word?

I know my password is registered! And, I cannot believe my year is up on the $20 fee! But, if it was, you would think I would get an email from Adobe reminding me to resubscribe or an error message reminding me to re-register and pay the fee, again!
