XMP metadata is not accepting the copyright symbol

While using the ModifyXMP method to append the metadata with some custom text data, it is found that, if the custom text data is having copyright symbol, metadata modification fails. Error can be caught as, 'Invalid UTF-8 sequence length'.
How to have the copyright symbol added in the XMP metadata?

Hi Patton,
   Could you try the following code to add dc:rights value (© adbe)
char xmpStr[] = { 0xc2, 0xa9, 0x20, 'a', 'd', 'b', 'e', 0x00 };
   meta.SetProperty(kXMP_NS_DC, "rights", xmpStr, 0);
   And please modify the xmpStr[] for your own text.

Modifying XMP metadata does not modify the document

Another from couple questions which accumulated over time.
If I modify layer in document by adding or updating XMP metadata, the document itself is not modified (does not enable save), so far if document is closed without doing some other action which marks document as modified, data are lost.
Question: how to either force document to see changes in XMP meta or how to mark document as modified?
Code snippet:
activeDocument.activeLayer.xmpMetadata.rawData = meta.serialize();
Thanks,

When you ask app-specific questions, you should really specify the app you are referring to.
I'm guessing you are talking about Photoshop. This seems to be a scripting related question, and you'll probably get better answers on the Photoshop forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting

Is there way to make the "copyright" symbol with Notes in Pages?

with Microsoft Word if you type (C) it automatically converts to the copyright symbol (full circle with c in the middle), is there a way on Notes to acheive the same symbol?

You can have Pages do the same thing:
1. Open Preferences under the Pages menu. (Pages>Preferences)
2. Click on the Auto-Correction Tab
3. Make sure the "Symbol and text substitution" box is checked.
4. Look for the (C) symbol in the list of available substitutions. If it's not there, create it by clicking on the '+' plus sign.
Good luck,
Terry

"Writing XMP Metadata Did Not Complete Successfully" Issue

Hi all,
I've been using Lightroom for a bit now. I'm on V2.5 now. I just did a new system build and so reinstalled Win Vista 32. My photos and XMP files are on a seperate external drive and I saved my catalog file (plus did a backup). When I reinstall Lightroom and did the updates I then copied the old catalog 2 file to the right location. All my pics were there with edits no problem. I've done this several times now when I have had to reinstall the OS for various reasons. Never had an isuse
This time I went back to change some status data on a photo that I took before the reinstall. When I went to update the metadata I get a message that says "Writing XMP Metadata Did Not Complete Successfully". I looked in Bridge and the data did not update. This happens for all my RAW photos that were taken before the reinstall. I can make changes fine but cannot get the XMP to write.
Bridge will not make changes either. I tried changing the star rating and color label and it does nothing.
For files that I have imported after the reinstall it all works fine.
It is like the old XMPs are locked or the programs can't find them. I can see them in the file manager so they are all there.
Any ideas on the problem and how to fix it?

I don't think they are locked. I think Vista is just blocking Lightroom. I went back this morning and deleted a few of the xmp's as you suggested and Lightroom worked fine and wrote the files. Then I thought about the potential lock issue and tried opening Lightroom "As an administrator". When I did that everything worked fine. For some reason Vista won't let lightroom open the older files unless it sees it as the admin. All works fine now. Thanks!!

Anyone using Mr Site Pro website software on their iMac, if so how di insert the copyright symbol into my home page?

I am trying to insert the copyright symbol into the home page of my website, I am using Mr Site Pro software, on windows it is 0169 but this does'nt work on the imac, can anyone help?

Or you can try option (alt or ⌥) + G to type ©.
For future reference, enable the keyboard viewer;
System Preferences > Language and Text > Input Sources tab. Top of the left column, tick (check) "Keyboard and Character Viewer", Bottom of window next to search field, tick "Show input menu in menu bar"
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
All the standard diacritical marks and common symbols can be accessed directly from the standard keyboard. ü is produced by pressing alt (option) + U, release them and type U. Similarly é is alt+e, followed by e.
If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the marks will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
Shift+Alt will show more.
These are the results of holding down option and shift+option for a standard UK keyboard (US is similar, but a few keystrokes are reversed)

How do I create the copyright symbol in photoshop CS6?

How do I create the copyright symbol in Photoshop CS6, Windows7? Alt+0169 does not work.

I just use Character Map, and Copy/Paste the © symbol.
With the Alt+ keys are you using the numerical keypad, or the numbers at the top of the QWERTY? Is NumLk ON?
Good luck,

Resolving " Writing XMP Metadata did not complete successfully " Errors

On certain files, when I try to save the metadata, I get this error - Writing XMP Metadata did not complete successfully
Does anybody know why and how to resolve the issue?
Thank you.

Check if your files are write protected! For RAW files, the xmp sidecar file must not be write protected. For JPG and other non-RAW files, the image file itself must not be write protected.

HT204088 When trying to update my credit account information, it will not accept the month of experation even though it has been entered. I shut the phone down and tried again, I sync it to the computer. Will not work. What do I do?

Off the top I dont thing its good practice to post an email address here

Have u access to the old email address? If not and you fail the apple security process then you need to call them
Have u tried to manage ur apple id from : appleid.apple.com

WET54G v3.1 Will not accept the default password for web setup

The setup:
1 2WIRE wireless router for AT&T DSL connection
1 wireless laptop, online and good to go
1 desktop, too far from router to connect with an ethernet cable, this computer does not have wi-fi
1 new WET54G v3.1, trying to setup as a wireless-ethernet bridge to get the wired desktop on the network and online
I have set up the desktop with static IP: 192.168.1.1; Subnet 255.255.255.0; Gateway 192.168.1.226. The WET54G is directly connected to the desktop. I open Internet Explorer and go to 192.168.1.226. After entering the password "admin" and leaving the username blank, the login prompt simply reappears as if the password is incorrect. I have reset the WET54G to factory defaults numerous times (held the reset button for over 30 seconds). It simply will not accept the password.
Any suggestions? I tried live chat but the chat window was so slow and buggy that both times it seemed we were about to make progress the window would freeze up or refresh entirely and disconnect me. Extremely frustrating to say the least.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi brickmonkey,
Sorry for taking so long to get back on this. We left for a long vacation and I got ridiculously busy when we got back. ANyway I just spent some time working on this and wanted to report back. Still didn't get it to work.
Got into the 2Wire and wrote down it's settings:
Router Address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: (???) I did not see this under the summary page, but it was on the internet connection details page., it's a 151.x.x.x number, which the WET54G was not happy to accept as the default gateway. It gave me the error "DUT and Gateway cannot locate in different subnet." Also, on that internet connection details page, an additional subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 was listed, but I'm guessing 255.255.255.0 is the correct one to use, right?
Because it wouldn't accept that 151.x.x.x address, I can't get any farther. I did notice when setting up the SSID and security to match that of the 2WIRE, the channel was fixed at 6 and the dropdown was disabled. I changed the 2WIRE from 1 to 6 in case that was an issue. The WET54G is in Infrastructure mode, as the guide you linked to indicated.
Any thoughts with this new info?
Thanks again for your help with this,
Sean

Do you know what happens if you delete the icloud account from an iphone 4s? Will it delete the pictures, documents, etc. from the phone, or just unlink the icloud from the phone? I want to associate a different icloud account to the phone.

I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

My wife's iTunes ID will no longer work. Tried to reset password but did not get email, tried to reset by answering personal questions' but will not accept the correct date of birth. Has it been hacked? How can I fix this?

My wife's iTunes used ID will not work. Tried resetting the password, but email was not received. Tried using personal questions method, but would not accept the correct date of birth, so could not go any further. Has her iTunes ID been hacked? How can I fix this?

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

Hello buddyacw
You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.
