Using files with MBP from windows7 on TC

As title says. I want to back up all myfiles from my windows 7 laptop. (It’s going in for repairs) I have tons ofmusic I would to have on my TC and use on my 17' Gen2 MBP. How would I go abouthaving these files usable so iTunes can see them on my MBP? Or do I have tohave them locally on my MBP? If I do how can I transfer them to my MBP usingthe TC? Should I use the migration assistant? I guess I want to use my TC as astreamer for music. But I also want the pics from that same laptop on TC so I can access them with the MBP.
Thanks
Jason

  • Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac.  Pages only recognizes text.  What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

    Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac.   Pages seems to only recognize text.   What app is recommended for pdf documents?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
    Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
    They will show up in the iBooks application
    (If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
    Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
    One is Books, the other is Collections.
    Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
    Tap PDFs and you're there.

  • Deploy par files with code from NWDI

    Hello Experts,
    I have migrated some par files to NWDI and they are deployed via SDM as SDA files.
    From eclipse it is possible to deploy the par files with Code. Is this possible from NWDI that the par files are deployed with code to the portal server.
    Regards
    Sundeep

    Hi Satish,
    I am using NWDS, and then check in the Portal DC which is then deployed on the runtime system.
    My question is during deployment via NWDI is it possible that the par is deployed with code.
    Earlier we were using eclipse for par based development, and this was possible in eclips.
    With NWDI i dont think it is possible to control if the par should be deployed on the portal server with code included.

  • Create xml file with values from context

    Hi experts!
    I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
    Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
    Is there any standard used code to do this??

    Hi,
    you need to create three util class for that:-
    XMLHandler
    XMLParser
    XMLBuilder
    for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
    And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

  • Importing RAW files with keywords from Bridge

    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded the trial version of Aperture and have now imported RAW files (Canon 20D) with keywords and IPTC data applied via Bridge.
    The import of the RAW files was no problem however the files lacked the keywords and IPTC data, which I applied in Bridge.
    I also tried to import JEPG files and here Aperture could show me keywords and IPTC data.
    Why does this not work for RAW files? What do I have to do in order to get it to work?
    Thanks in advance for your advise
    /David

    When you add metadata (keywords etc.) to most proprietary raw formats (including Canon .CR2 files), Bridge doesn’t know how to embed that data in to the file—Canon and other manufacturers haven’t told Adobe (or anyone else) what the structure of these raw files is and how metadata can be stored within the file itself. Therefore, Bridge creates a ‘sidecar’ file to go with the raw file: the sidecar file sits alongside the raw file, with the same filename and a .xmp extension. This sidecar file contains any metadata you may have applied, as well as adjustments you have made in Adobe Camera Raw.
    Unfortunately, Aperture doesn’t read these sidecar files when importing raw files, so you lose any adjustments from ACR (not surprising, since Aperture is obviously a different raw converter to ACR so the adjustments would be different anwyay), but also you lose any metadata you may carefully have applied.
    There may be an answer, however. But it’ll cost. That would be to use iView Media Pro (which has recently been bought by Microsoft, but a Mac version still exists). There is a 21-day free trial for iVMP—since my suggestion is to use it as a temporary conduit for importing all your existing raw files into Aperture, you won’t necessarily have to pay the £129 GBP asking price for iVMP (others can debate the morality of that statement, however; fortunately I already owned iVMP and so didn’t have to worry about such things). I believe iVMP can read the XMP sidecar files created by Bridge. Create a new iVMP catalogue with all your raw files which you want to move into Aperture. It should bring all your existing metadata into the iVMP catalogue as well.
    Then, import all the raw files into Aperture. As you have found, they’ll be without any metadata. As long as the filenames are the same in both the iVMP catalogue and the Aperture library, you can use Adam Tow’s application Annoture to transfer metadata from the iVMP catalogue into the Aperture library.
    Sort of circuitous, but possible. If only Aperture read the metadata from those sidecar files, eh? If I’m wrong in thinking that iVMP imports the XMP metadata, then what you can do is get Bridge to convert all your .CR2 raw files into .DNG files. If you don’t know about DNG, read about it at Adobe. But briefly, Bridge is able to embed its metadata into the DNG files and iVMP is able to read that embedded metadata when importing DNG files into the catalogue. I know that for certain: I used iVMP and DNG files (from my own 20D) before using Aperture; when I started using Aperture (which I love, now) I used Annoture to transfer all my metadata from iVMP into Aperture.
    Perhaps someone else will explain this better than I.

  • Can't open files with spaces from gui applications

    When I try to open a file or directory from say qbittorrent or clementine in xfce, I get the message:
    "Failed to open URI "file:///somewhere/filename%20with%20spaces".
    Googling told me this problem was due to passing a "%U" instead of a "%F" somwhere, but I don't know where to change this.

    I don't use any DE or those kinds of gui tools, but the "%U" instead of an "%F" issue would be in the .desktop files.  There are systemwide .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ and you can override these with your own customized versions in ~/.local/share/applications/
    So a workaround at least would be to copy the relevant desktop files from the system-wide folder to your user's folder and edit them appropriately changing %U to%F.

  • Applescript for replacing Original Files with aliases from an Organized Library.

    Hi, all I am new to Applescript and the support community. I am working on developing a script that takes a folder and replaces its original music content with aliases from an organized Library. Let me explain a little better.. I have a list of project folders that all contain folders and original music. My company uses iTunes to store and organize their music. Once iTunes has imported the music and has made a copy of the original file and organizes it accordingly we create an alias within the iTunes Library and manually drag and drop the aliases into our Project folders. I have a Script that reverts the aliases with the orginal file and the coding is
    Code starts here---
    set f to choose folder
    ProcessAlias(f as string)
    -- replacess all alias files in the passed folder path (string)
    on ProcessAlias(this_folder)
    -- get list of folders in this_folder
    set utid to AppleScript's text item delimiters -- store old delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
    tell application "Finder"
    set folder_listing to every folder of folder this_folder as string
    end tell
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to utid -- restore old delimiters
    if folder_listing is "" then
    set folder_list to {}
    else
    set folder_list to paragraphs of folder_listing
    end if
    -- process folder_list
    repeat with sub_folder in folder_list
    ProcessAlias(sub_folder) -- send each folder back to this subroutine
    end repeat
    -- get list of alias files and process them
    tell application "Finder"
    set alias_files to every file of folder this_folder whose kind is "Alias"
    repeat with this_alias in alias_files
    try -- error if broken alias
    set orig_item to original item of this_alias
    set item_dest to container of this_alias
    move orig_item to item_dest with replacing
    end try
    end repeat
    end tell
    return -- you can return a listing of moved originals if you want
    end ProcessAlias
    Basically I need the revers of this process. The objective is to save space and continue to let iTunes organize and copy files for us. I already have made a script that generates aliases into the subfolders of iTunes organized Library withour replacing the file that iTunes created. I also made a script that takes the itunes library and dumps all the aliases into a designated folder. I thought this may be helpful for drawing aliases to files that are in our project folder but seem to be stuck.
    I was thinking maybe if I took my iTunes and made all the aliases all into one folder to draw aliases from would make it easier. I'm not sure but it seems like there should be some easy way of doing this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Also Script above is for reverting aliases into original files as posted by Eatalay of this forum.

  • Action with new file with size from selection

    Hello,
    I try to record an action that takes a copy of the current image and creates a new file with the same dimensions. The action I record always has the file size of the new image hardcoded in it. I tried to set Preset to Clipboard, but this is not recorded in the action. This is with CS3.
    How can I create a new file that takes the current image size into account?
    Thanks for your help,
    Daniel

    You can record the menu 'Image-Duplicate' to make a copy of the whole image without recording the size. If the doc only has one layer you can also record the flyout menu of the layer's panel to duplicate the layer to a new document. The size will not be recorded.

  • Transfer rate when moving larger files with MBP +AEBS over 802.11 n

    Hi Everyone
    I´m very confused about the capabilites of the new AEBS dual band.
    I have a Macbook Pro C2D 2,4ghz late 2007 running Snow Leopard , with an airport card N compatible.
    Recently i add to my home network an AEBS dual band , and i configure it in bridge mode , with support to the N and G nets.
    So when i try to copy a big file (around 2 GB) between the MBP and a FS mounted via NFS, sometime i have transfer rates about 9 to 12 MBytes / s , but after this al the copy´s that y do slow down to 3,4 MBytes / s.
    Also i test this copy operation with a 2,5" USB connected directly to the AEBS, and the results are the same , the max rate transfer is 3,4 MBytes /s.
    I tried with various radio modes , and different locations (Ireland, etc...) due to the limitation in Spain to use the 5ghz band.
    If i look the properties of the connection with de alt button it shows me that the MBP is connected to the N network at 5Ghz and 300 Mbits /s , but the transfers only reach 3,4 Mbytes /s. When i have a G net the transfers reach 2,4 Mbytes / s , i think that i have an limitation in my airport card or a misconfiguration in the AEBS.
    Sorry for my English.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nacho López.

    Hi Paul,
    The last test is....crazy.
    The environment (my home) are the next:
    AEBS dual band
    MBP connected via wifi N (5ghz)
    An old box with ubuntu server 8.10 (Pentium4) with a SATA drive
    External USB 2,5" connected directly to the old box via usb.
    I perform 2 test , a copy to the SATA drive of the old box, and another copy to the external USB mounted on the old box in the directory /opt/COMPARTIDO/usb.
    Here are the results of a scp :
    -----COPY TO THE MOUNTED USB-----------------
    batman-3:Movies Nacho$ scp -r Ironman\ P1\ \[1080p\]\[AC3\].avi [email protected]:/opt/COMPARTIDO/usb
    [email protected]'s password:
    [email protected]'s password:
    Ironman P1 [1080p][AC3].avi 100% 3334MB 19.6MB/s 02:50
    -------19.6MB/S TO MOVE 3,3GB OF DATA IN 02:50--------------
    -------COPY FROM MBP TO THE SATA DRIVE OF THE OLD BOX------------------
    batman-3:Movies Nacho$ scp -r Ironman\ P1\ \[1080p\]\[AC3\].avi [email protected]:/opt/COMPARTIDO/Mldonkey/incoming/directories
    [email protected]'s password:
    Ironman P1 [1080p][AC3].avi 100% 3334MB 15.7MB/s 03:33
    -------15.7MB/s------------------------------------------------------
    So definitly mi issue is not related to wifi N or the performance of my disks. I suspect that maybe the AEBS don´t manage well the protocols like SAMBA (the external usb drive was poor perfomance shared via AEBS) or NFS (the directory shared from the old box also has the same poor perfomance).
    If you can, try it, a simple unix scp can makes fly your files over your network.
    I´ll continue posting what if discover about this.

  • Images chopped off when creating a mobi file with kindlegen from inDesign epub

    I'm having difficulty with a reflowable ebook project which includes line drawing illustrations. They are mainly looking good all sized at 600px wide (all greyscale gifs under 127k) and exporting with object export options set to CSS: relative to text flow. Where they fall in the middle of text on a page they look great, most are landscape format, wider than they are tall. However once they are exported if they fall near the bottom of the page they just disappear off the page, in some cases you just catch a tiny glimpse of the top and the rest has gone, it does not appear on the following page. I've tried a variety of export combinations include page breaks before, after and before and after and it's just not making a difference.
    I'm using Indesign CC (2014) on a mac and then opening with Kindle previewer and letting kindlegen convert to a .mobi. If I open the epub with digital editions the same thing is occurring. It is an mobi file I need at the end of the process. It seems to happen whatever device I use to emulate the preview on The Kindle previewer and illustrations may appear whole in one view then disappear on another, depending on how it's reflowing. I've also sent it to my kindle and it's definitely chopping the images off on that.
    Is there anyway I can ensure the whole image is displayed, I thought adding a page break before would do it but this doesn't seem to be working I'd even live with the nasty gaps that would give me. I've applied paragraph styles, object styles and looked at the export options, wondering if I've got in a mess here somehow - what takes priority?
    I'd like to do this in inDesign, I have looked at the code in sigil and can only tell that the images are consistently coded, not sure how they should read.
    Any help with this would be great as I'm going round and round now!

    Hi Monica
    Thanks for your reply it made me focus on the export options and stop messing with styles. I decided it was time to start again, so I created a new document with the intent set to digital publishing (I've not bothered with this previously and it's not seemed to matter) and copied across the contents of the book I only had to recreate a TOC everything else styles wise copied across fine and I re-imported the meta-data then tried epub export again, in Object settings I selected use original image and selected relative to text flow, and it's working! I wonder if something has changed in InDesign CC 2014 because I never used a digital publishing intent document before as I thought the page setup had no bearing on the epub export..? (This was exactly the same export settings I had tried with my original document which was derived from a print version) Anyway I have a solution, I'm not needing to use the page breaks as the images are being put as I wanted in the text flow if they fit, on the next page if not, which is fine. Now if I could just sort the space before in paragraph styles when it's the first item in a text box, so that a dedication could sit in the middle of the page... but I guess that's another question!

  • How can I open a .buc file with PSE6 from previous PSE6 back up?

    Hi!  I am trying to restore a back up catalog from an external hard drive onto our new PC (PSE6-Windows 7) as our laptop (PSE6-Windows XP) crashed.  I reinstalled PSE6 onto our new PC but somehow the Organizer nor the Editor recognise the .buc file it created!  The first back up I ever made was a complete back up, then I always backed up incrementally on the external hard drive.  I can see a .buc and a .tly file on the ext. hard drive through Windows Explorer 7 (new PC).  I cannot see the .buc file through Windows Explorer XP (old PC)... but that is probably not important...
    I succesfully restored what seem to be my last back up through the File/Restore back up.../ from external hard drive/ original location/... on both PC.  However, the categories do not appear, only the photos from my last incremental back up were restored.  1) Don't understand why it says that I need 30 discs to restore files when I always performed incremental back up on ext. hard drive under the same location (.tly).  Should I have changed the file name at each incremental back up? 2) I read on forum to copy and rename the .buc file as a .psa. file on the c:/ drive. I tried that through Windows Explorer AND through the Organizer but no success.  Exactly how/where can I do that?  I have all the photos saved as B000... on the ext. hard drive, I just want the catalog back as I don't fancy starting all over again, I have over 3000 photos categorised in that .buc file!  Thanks for your help!

    Hi Barb_O,
    Many thanks for trying to help!
    Hmmm.. it seems that I only have the last incremental back up then as I always saved under backup.tly... not a good news but not surprised!
    1 -- Do you have any other backups (taken with different software than PSE) of your photo files ? 
    Yes, I have the photos backed up either separately on Windows alone on ext. hard drive and/or through PSE as B000... on hard drive and CDs.
    2 -- Does the hard drive from your XP laptop still work ?
    Well, when it was last on the laptop, we could see the desktop but we could not do anything else than look at the desktop!  A message used to come up saying a failure was imminent with the hard drive, urging us to do a back up (but we could not as everything was frozen).  Then, I went into DOS (?) did something (?) and the message would not appear anymore but still the whole thing was frozen.  Still have the drive, might take it to a computer shop to recover the data, if possible. 
    3 -- Suggest that you post the folder names and folder structure of all the folders on that external hard drive.
    There are 4,524 item on that ext. hard drive so would be too long a list! I have folders for Word docs, music, etc but I have not structured the back up stuff at all so I open the ext. hard drive and I see PSE photo files from B0000000 to B0004798 including jpeg, .CR2 and .xmp files. Then there is one backup.tly and one catalog.buc and 17 video files.
    4 -- Also, how many .buc files are there on that external hard drive and what are the dates that each .buc file was written. 
    The only .buc file was created 30/10/09 (when I actually started to make back up copies following a mysterious wholeAdobe catalog disapearance, I spent hours re-building the catalog of my then 2,500 photos!) and last modified 11/03/10. Same date for the only .tly file.  Reading the back up command instructions for incremental back up, I assumed that each time I made a new back it was not overwriting it but only adding on to it!...  I have lost my catalog (again), haven't I?  I think I will start a good old hard copy album!!!
    5 -- You say that the Categories do not appear. What about the Tags - do you see all of your Tags ?  There are no tags and no albums, only 213 photos.  Any way I could at least restore the tagging/albums of these photos?
    Any hope to recover the original catalog on the failed hard drive?  I hope so now!
    Many thanks again!

  • Using sockets with java from PL/SQL in Oracle 8.1.7 DBA

    Hey all,
    I've been struggling for a couple of weeks now with a problem. I wrote a framework around a toolkit which makes socket connections to another server. I am attempting to use the framework from within a PL/SQL script, which is calling the framework class files which have been loaded into Oracle 8.1.7 database. The problem seems to be if I grant all permissions, or socket permissions for all hosts/ports, or even the ones I know about are being used, I get a hang when trying to connect. The funny thing is, using the toolkit, if I invoke their classes directly within code written from Oracle's code editor, it will work.
    I suspect there is
    a) Some hidden permission issue
    b) A bug in the sockets implementation Oracle is using for their JVM.
    Can anyone offer insight to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Dave Blake

    Hello,
    I'm trying to investigate the same thing.
    I want to make a soap-client with PL/SQL with 8i 8.1.6.0.0
    Did you succeed some additional information ??
    I tried to run the following example:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/htdocs/samples/dbwebservice/DBWebServices_PLSQL.html
    but it only works with 9i.
    With 8i the errors encountered were : XMLTYPE undefined
    Perhaps if we find the definition of XMLTYPE and we process it to 8i we'll be able to run the example ??
    thank's
