Help team! I need to find a way to copy the information on a website database to an Excel spreadsheet. It's probably really simple for some of you!
Hey there!
So without getting into too much detail, here's my problem:
I have to take every approved entry from this website: http://eapr.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/CertDetails.aspx
Then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. I need only 'Declared Articles' from each category (aplliance connectors, etc), and then only a few subfieds in them:
-Name
-Certificate Number
-Model Number
-Expiry Date
-Article Class
-Description (Including volts, amps, watts and hertz if included)
-Volts
-Amps (If applicable)
-Watts (If applicable)
-Hertz (If applicable)
At the moment I'm literally copying each entry manually. I can't request a spreadsheet from them, and as you'll see from the website, it's extremely difficult to get these thousands of entries manually. The individual certificates cannot be opened in a new
tab, let alone copied efficiently.
So my question to you: is there a way I can create some sort of macro to take the details from the page? What avenues can I take to get there?
Please note that the Department of Fair Trading is aware of and allows these ventures.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Apologies, 'name' referred to the 'Certificate Holder' field.
Fields should be as below. I'm currently extracting the 'Description' field from each individual certificate, along with the inputs and outputs. The rest is copied then reformatted to suit the current spreadsheet, as it is available on the search page.
Certificate Holder
Cert. Number
Cert. Date
End Date
Equipment Category/Article Class
Description
Cert Standard
Model Numbers/Reference Code
Trade Name/Mark

I'm on a mac and I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space. I've tried 3 times to set them up, but I keep getting the "almost full" message every night.
Can you tell us exactly what the "almost full" message says? Is it referring to your mailbox (ie, email server space), or your hard drive?
If your email server is almost full, you can store folders and messages on your Mac. In Mail, go to the Mailbox menu, click New Mailbox, and choose the location "On My Mac". Then drag folders into that new mailbox to move them to your local computer, and off the email server.
If your hard drive is full, this won't help, and you need a different approach.

my iphone has been lost in my house and i need to find a way to track it and its offline. it wont connect to the internet so there isnt a way to use find my iphone. i just want to play a sound on it. is there any way i can get a app that connects my ipod from a laptop or a different way to find it.
If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way. Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

I lost the app "app store" on my iphone. How to get it back? I couldn't find a way neither on the iphone mor on iTunes Could you please help me in restore this app? Thanks
The App store is a iOS function and cannot be deleted. Try checking other home screens/folders and see if you can locate it. If not, go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Need to find a way to convert mts files to aFinal Cut compatible format --
I hired someone to shoot something for me recently and he used AVCHD. However, he only copied the mts files and did not save the entire folder structure, which unfortunately is what Final Cut requires (at least that's my understanding of it). Basically I need to find a way to convert mts files into a Final Cut compatible file format.
Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.Forum search is your friend. The usual answer you'll find is ClipWrap, transcodes .mts to whatever flavor of ProRes you want.

I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format on Lion
I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format; with Snow Leopard, I could do that using iTunes, but since upgrading to Lion, I can convert the files to a .mov format in Quick Time, but cannot move the file into iTunes in order to convert it to .MP3. If you can suggest a work-around or an app that will work with Lion, would be much appreciated.
Haven't used it myself, but worth a look http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27103/all2mp3

I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro cc on my laptop, but I cant find a way to start the program. No Icon, and it is not showing up in the start meny. It is showing up in add/remove programs, but nt anywhere else.
If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.

I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format
I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

I shot some video on my iphone and can not find a way to upload the videos to my Mac.
I shot some video on my iphone and can not find a way to upload the videos to my Mac. I can not find anything in the iPhone manual or in these discussions. I am sure there is an easier way than emailing each file to myself. Help!
Connect your iPhone to your Mac and start the Image Capture app. It's in the Utilities folder which is in the Appliations folder on your Mac.

On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.
My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
thanks!I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down? -
I have a lot of various book mark folders with websites contained within each folder. I am able to sort the websites within each folder alphabetically by name but I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this other than manually dragging them as this is extremely hard for me due to the fact that I am a quadriplegic with limited hand movement dexterity
Bookmark folders that you created are in the Bookmarks Menu folder. "Sort" that folder.

Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2? I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example). Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.
In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?
Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.
