File is associated with another photo in the catalog?

Hi all

I got LR4 running on a laptop computer and an external hard drive to store my images. I bought an imac and upgraded to 5. I also bought a new large external hard drive and copied all my images on the new drive.

I created a new catalog and began importing images and everything was fine. Then I wanted to work on an old image and couldn't find it so plugged the old hard drive and there's DNG format.

Now, I'm back on the mac, and most of my catalog went gray. I and exclamation mark in the corner! the nail of the thumb. It says it cannot locate the file. If I found the file nothing happens, so I try once Mithraeum locating in exactly in the same place and this time it says the file is associated with another photo in the catalog?

My a few catalogs are a mess, I know. I don't really understand the whole import/DNG/catalog file, storage system. So I watched a tutorial on a combination of catalogs I want just one master, used on my mac, stored on my drive. So, I created a master and used catalog "import from another catalog. I've lived and all imported, so all of my images are in the new catalogue, but most of the images is still grey!

I used the thought of plugin of duplicates which could clean it upward, but no, still the same.

I worked on that a lot of my DNG files are on my old drive in a TEMP folder. I have to sort, move them to my new hardrive and bind them to the images? In addition, to solve the problem together "associated with another photo in the catalog.

Then I can remove the old catalogs (such as a backup has been configured on an another new disc!) and I'm all clean and go back to sleep!

Any help will be much appreciated and I hope to end my life of youtube tutorials!

Thanks Mark.

    Files that I was still using yesterday now are more connected to the catalog.  Try to locate the files I get the message "the file is associated with another photo in the catalog. How can I find and solve.

    Thank you

    This is because this same image, same time date and time of the device, is already in the catalog using a different file name.

    Conversely having not happening again is to STOP Renaming files on import or manually in the file manager or with another image, software.

    Each camera has a system that can be customized if necessary if you have 2 cameras of the same brand and model of separate file naming. And even then, they are separated by the serial number of each camera.

  • "The file... is associated with another photo in the catalog" problem

    I have about 300 000 images stored on a disk in Drobo. Due to a hardware problem with the Drobo itself, I had get a new Drobo. I placed my old drives inside the new unit and everything appeared fine in the Finder. But in LR, everything happens with the "...". the original file is not found. "When I try to locate and correct the association I get, 'the file... is associated with another photo in the catalog. Each file can be associated with a picture. "There are not many copies. How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

    Are the files in the same place exactly as they were before your accident of drobo? i.e. the volume is a not the structure exact same name and folder? If Yes, you shouldn't have to re-associate the files and you should be able to double-click on an image and Lightroom it true already knows where is the image. If it isn't, you may need to stop Lightroom, disassemble the drive and reassemble and then open Lightroom again. I saw Lightroom being very slow to recognize the disk he thought no was not available was in fact already mounted.

  • CER files not associated with the crypto shell extension

    I installed Broderbund Print Shop v.23.1 and it took the REB file type and now when I try to install security certificates in my browser they cannot install because Print Shop is now the default application for the .cer files. Is it possible to change the default file association Windows? I use Windows 7 64-bit. I looked at another machine without printing and RECS associated with Crypto Shell Extensions.

    Hello

    I suggest you to perform the system restore to a date and time before the Broderbund Print Shop program has been installed.

    System restore

    You can reinstall Broderbund Print Shop and try to install using a custom installation if this option is available. So if the option is presented to choose which extensions are associated with you can uncheck the .cer association.

  • IP address conflict with another system on the network.

    Our operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002.  WE have set up on a small network of 6 computers.  On three computers, we get a window that opens by telling us that "the system has detected an IP address conflict with another system on the network."     Any ideas as to how we might resolve this problem?

    Hello Jackie,.

    Also, try the following.

    Method 1: Check the settings for dynamic host, Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on the router. Contact the manufacturer of the router or the access to the same provider.

    Method 2: Release and renew the IP configuration.

    • Click Start. Click Run, type cmd, press ENTER.
    • Type the first command enough ipconfig and press ENTER.
    • Then type the second command ipconfig / renew and press ENTER.

  • Getting the error "There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network." on XP computer

    "There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network." I keep getting these messages on my computer. -What it means and how to solve this?

    IP addresses are assigned to a computer in one of two basic methods: the address is assigned automatically by the device "in charge" of the network (in your case, the wifi hotspot router) or the address is set manually on the computer.

    If the address is assigned automatically, the router is "smart" enough to assign a different address for everyone.  However, if your computer has a fixed or 'static' IP address assigned manually, it may conflict with an address assigned by the router to another computer.

    You do not specify, so I'm going to assume that your computer is running WIndows XP...

    1. On your computer, open the network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    2. Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties
    3. Click on the 'Général' tab, select "Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)" from the list of "this connection uses the following items" and click "Properties".
    4. Select the boxes for two on "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically"
    5. OK your way out.

    This will not adversely affect your computer somehow.

    If the two "automatic" settings were already selected, it is likely that your wireless adapter is managed by a utility provided by the manufacturer of your computer or your adapter wifi rather than Windows.  There should be a wifi icon in the system notification area (near the time display).  Click or right-click on it and see if you can access the menu of configuration settings or to determine at which it is useful.

  • Windows XP SP3: There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network.

    As mentioned, I am under Windows XP SP3.  Starting around June 14, 2011, I get this error message: "There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network."  I didn't any problem access the internet, which is weird considering all the forums I've read the user has had problems with this.

    I followed the steps to solving this problem.  I checked the IP addresses on all devices connected to my network. none match the computer, I get this message.  I tried refreshing and renew my address this computer's IP, but that has not solved the problem.  I've updated my modem drivers; who has not solved.  I checked the settings on my router but nothing.  I have turned off all devices in the House connected to the network, unplugged both the modem and the router, plugged the modem back in (anticipated for a constant signal), then plugged the router and gives him the time, but I got the message again.  I ran scans anti-virus and anti-malware, but neither picked up something.

    I am out of resources in this regard.  I guess that something might be wrong with the router, but that doesn't seem right.  I had no problems with the router as I bought it a year ago, and as I mentioned there are no connectivity issues (always as fast as I'm willing to pay my provider).  Two things have popped up in my mind that could possibly impact this: all about 14, there was a Windows update that has pushed down and the message began not to burst, until, after downloading (but I have not had this same problem on other computers that have received these updates) , and there was a very, very brief power surge (second meaning) in the House around the 16th which caused no (to my knowledge) do anything stop but not a hand a few clocks.  Thank for any help with this!

    No. except if you must move the computer to another network or if you are not actually that responsible for the network.

    As long as you are in charge of your network, you can configure your router to reserve an IP for your machine OR set up so that the DHCP range is, for example, all the IP addresses above to x.x.x.100 and you you give an IP address below that (say x.x.x.99).

    In the first case, you let your computer configured as DHCP - your router just recognize it and gives this machine (and only this machine) reserved IP address.  For the latter, need to change the settings in Windows after changing your router so the DHCP range does not interfere with the static IP address range.  I would say that the latter is more likely to be a problem than the first, especially if there is a chance that this machine moves from one network to the other.

    Personally, I use the booking method on my home network.  In this way my laptop, iPad, etc. all get a given IP address every time (an I know) and I have to set up the real device special somehow.

  • In the face of "the device associated with this extension or the dial number is not valid" when you use DX80 telepresense phones

    Hi team,

    We have EX and DX series telepresence as endpoints agent. But DX series phones are facing issue "the device associated with this extension or the dial number is not valid" when checking in the agent. EX works very well. Both phones are properly recorded in CUCM.

    Can you please help me out here to solve the problem.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sisi.

    In my case, we tried to do a few different modifications here and there on the DX650 but never managed to do work.  Randomly, I was able to connect to the fineness with the DX650 as my camera, then my colleague could not connect to the Finesse with his 9971 as his camera - (keep in mind this was in an environment of model and it was just her and me as agents).  Since I saw this strange behavior and doesn't do not sense, we rebooted the server CCX. Once she is back to the top, we were also well able to connect successfully and had not had the problem since.

    Thank you

  • I use Lightroom 4.4 on windows 8. Less than 500 photos on the catalog and the catalog size is currently at 2.16 GB. Lightroom works fine, but I'm taking a risk by leaving the catalog to grow beyond 2 GB?

    I use Lightroom 4.4 on windows 8. If I have less than 500 photos on the catalog, I do a lot of alterations and cleaning of the images and therefore the size of the catalogue is currently at 2.16 GB. Lightroom works fine, but I'm taking a risk by leaving the catalog to grow beyond 2 GB? Should I close it and start a new catalog? Thanks for your suggestions.

    Many local adjustments (brush strokes, spot healing) can have a huge impact on the overall size of the catalog because they are all saved as stages of the individual history and so I wouldn't worry - there is nothing wrong with your catalog. See my thread here since a few years back: which affects the size of the Lightroom catalog file? where Rob Cole usefully thought of it for me.

    You could delete the history if you wanted and that I'd be willing to bet that the size would be reduced considerably. That said, my catalog file is larger than 10 GB (as I do a lot of local changes as stated in the thread I linked to) and it causes no problem at all, apart from resulting in a backup of slow catalogue (my previews resume another 30 GB or more). I have not yet felt the need for the history of the Reformation, but doing so probably would increase my catalog to about 1 GB, so it's an option if size becomes a problem for me.

    My advice: continue anyway and don't worry in this regard.

    I'm 7 days in LR to the trial. After creation and 'use' to develop to edit 6 catalogues, I find without changing this or that all catalogs when opening, now have a bright red nail in different areas of the photos in the catalog. Some of the catalogues have been created several days ago and were considered OK, but now this 'red' hue appeared in all the catalogues without any intervention by me.

    I don't know why you create several different catalogs. Lightroom is managed much more efficiently using a single catalog. But regardless of this issue, it seems that if you have enabled clipping indicators. Pressing the J button makes the point high and indicators on shadow clipping or out of service. Or you can click on the small square in the upper corners of the histogram. Clicking the square to the left turns clipping shadow power. Clicking the square to the right will turn point highlight clipping power. I leave switched indicators so that I can identify areas that need to be adjusted so that I can eliminate all clipping.
