Audiobooks only as one single file - Why why why?

Hello everybody!
For me it is a serious problem that the iTunes store only provides audiobooks as one single file regardless if the running time is 10 minutes or 10 hours.
I have neither received a reasonable answer from the support team nor can I think of any other reason than just refusal for economic reasons.
What is the difference between musical and spoken content???
In the end these are all the same file-types and the recordings originally were all published with indexes - so why do they reduce only the audiobooks to a single file???
Every audiobook with a length of 30 minutes and longer should definitly be provided in seperate chapters or segments - otherwise the handling is totally unpractical!
There are some audiobooks with over 10 hours runnig time that I would love to listen to but still they offer it as a single file - are you kidding me???
Even if I have my eyes non-stop on the counter - One interruption and I am forced to fastforward for hours!!!
APPLE - THINK! (Anyone remember the commercials?)
Who buys this crap so Apple did not have change it, yet?
Is there anybody who shares this problem?
Best wishes

Honestly, nobody around here thinks that this is somehow problematic and that it shows a lack of intelligence or at least ignorance???
By the way, in the meanwhile I have found several other online stores that provide a great range of audiobooks at the same price (or less) and guess what - they are all able to offer them in consumable segments!
Well, from now on I will be shopping there and if you want some links just let me know!
Sorry for disturbing - please keep on weeping for your lost 99 cents or whatever you do in this forum...

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I purchased Adobe XI for a year. I am charged monthly on my credit card. The software only allows one print file to pdf after that it has a pop up marketing screen asking me to purchase it again. If I reboot I can get another print out of it. After an hour of trying to reach somone on tech support I ran across this forum. Any help out there?

In the pop-up screen, have you tried licensing it and signing in? Signing in is crucial, so it knows what you paid for.

How can I save my keynote presentation as one single file and not a folder

I use the latest kerynote version and I would like to upload the presentation as a single file to a collaboration solution.
How can I save my presentation as one single file and not as a folder?

Keynote "files" are not single files, they are packages which contain all the individual files that the presentation requires.
Some online storage systems such as Google Drive show Keynote as a folder.
We use Dropbox to distribute all our file types and Keynote does not have an issue using that.

Multiple Idocs (DEBMAS06) into one single file

Hi All,
Multiple Idocs(DEBMAS06) are sent from SAP in bulk to be sent to FTP server via XI...(Cannot use Append the file as The structure is with Header,Detail(all the idoc details) and Trailer)
I have seen different threads which speaks about the same,
But Please suggest me the best approach to proceed with this kind of scenario...
Multiple IDocs -> XI -> Flat file which is speaking about BPM and also Packaging(SAP note 814393)
and https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30ea2fdf-f047-2a10-d3a2-955a634bde6b
(How Tou2026 Send Multiple IDocs Within One XI Message)
I prefer not to use BPM... but if required then....
Please suggest me which is the best approach to proceed with it..
Thanks and Regards,
Sridhar Reddy

Hi ,
I had tried the scenario Multiple IDOC's coming from R/3 and send all of them into a Single File
But it did not work...
Of course i changed as Micahel mentioned in
The specified item was not found.
(Collect and make pack size to 50) but still the idocs are posting as 50 messages in XI and 50 files are being created ...
But as per his remarks we need customization which is very difficult...
And also i checked Michaels blog
The specified item was not found.
But this is dicussing reverse of my scenario...
and finally i am thinking of going with the stefens weblog...
Collecting IDocs without using BPM
Can any one please suggest any other best way to handle this...
Instead of going for BPM i am implementing as Stefen suggested ... This is because we have many such interfaces where SAP sends collective idocs....

Sridhar Reddy

Concatenate multiple pdf files into one single file

hi,
Could any one help me with a code "combining or merging multiple pdf files selected from the browser into one single document" to send it as one single request to the printer?
Thanks ,

It is called the Big Faceless PDF library.
they have a free trial download.
in regards to doing it yourself, of course.
but this is a pure java library that can do what you want without you having to re-invent the wheel (for a price of course).
they have excellent technical support as well, usually solving your problem within a day or so.

I want to upload one and only that one specific file

Hi everybody,
this may sound like a silly question, but I got a problem which is driving me mad I can't figure out a way to solve it.
So here it comes.. :-)
Every time I upload files within my DW file manager it not only uploads that specific file but also all the others files. For example I change one html file, upload it and when its done it also loads all the embeded mp3s and videos and css and all that crap which takes hours.
I'm sure there is a way to tell DW to only upload the file I want to upload, but I can't find it in the setup.
By the way, I'm using DW CS4.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers!

I don't have CS4, but if you look in the Preferences in the Site section it may have something there to adjust in that regard (Edit -> Preferences -> Site). In CS3 it provides for allowing one to select whether they want to be prompted to upload dependent files. In CS3, deselecting these options is supposed to not transfer any dependent files (mine is unchecked, but still prompts). It may be different in CS4, but in that section there is a Help button that leads to explanations of the settings.
The wondering I have is whether you are getting a prompt or not regarding uploading dependent files when you try to upload the file. If so, then that would be where you indicate not to do so.

Excel file very slow to save - but only for one user! Why?

The problem ...
I have an excel spreadsheet that I share with my partner, i.e. another user on my Mac. The file works just fine for me, but is very slow to save when my partner uses it. Save time for me is about 3 seconds, for my partner about 45 seconds. The problem only seems to be with this one file, and the slow save time is driving her nuts! (I'm not able to upload the file as it contains confidential info).
The file is about 225kB with about 6 worksheets and some macros. It’s stored in a folder below the standard OSX ‘shared’ folder. Both users have identical permissions on these folders and this file.
What have I tried already? Re-saving the file in a different place, renaming it, re-creating it by copying the contents to a blank file, repairing permissions on my partner’s user account, copying excel .plist files from my user to hers, deleting her .plist file & creating a new one. None of these have worked.
System details ... 2.8GHz I5 iMac (late 2010 vintage), 8GB memory, OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Excel for Mac 2011 v14.2.3 (auto updates on & all installed I believe)
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

On the problem Mac...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Stream multiple bitrates but only save one to file?

I have configured FMLE to stream 2 bitrates to Ustream.
For 'Save to File' the manual says add "%i" to name which saves both bitrates to disk.
Is their a way to choose one bitrate to save to disk?
The stream is here: http://phoebeallens.com
Thanks, Joe

Hi Kosta,
I think that the counts only get updated if you automatically sync your iPod. If the iPod is on manual update the count shouldn't change.
Shouldn't be too hard to test but I'm not near my iPod at the moment.

How can i upload more than one single file into a folder in the creative cloud?

how can i upload e.g. 10 files out of a folder on my desktop in one step into a folder in my creative cloud?

You can select multiple files in the Windows Explorer dialog using the Ctrl key, or in Mac OS X Finder using the Cmd key. Once you have multiple files selected just click the upload button. Or use drag and drop from the desktop to the browser.
If you are using Internet Explorer it does not support multiple file upload. This is per design by Microsoft.

Network error 3259 only on one specific file

I think the 1:00-2:00 p.m. file of 24, Season 6 may be damaged on the itunes Network. When I try downloading, it always gets to 116.2 megabytes downloaded, then gets "Error -3259: Network Timed Out". I've deleted temp files, and tried repeatedly from two different computers and the same file craps out at the same place. I downloaded 2:00-3:00 p.m. with no problem.
Who do I report this to to get the file fixed for downloading?

Thanks, but when I've done that in the past they've never answered me.
This time, I'm going to dispute the charge on my credit card. I've spent an hour like a trained monkey clicking the same stupid button over and over in hope of getting the reward for which I've already paid.
I would encourage others to do the same. It will cost Apple a lot more than $1.99 to resolve all of the disputed credit card charges than it would for them to fix their crappy network.

IPod works on XP but unknown on windows 7 and undetected on a Mac, I sent it in and they tell me its a port issue but they can't fix cause its vintage but no one bothers explaining why it works on XP, stupid user experience, help, I want an answer

I got the run around from staff members with none explaining to me why as well as multiple emails avoiding the question and giving me the same stupid answer as below, are you going to tell merge same thing next week when my iPhone/ iPad goes faulty, your apologies mean nothing o me if you can't solve my problem
The iPod was booked in with the fault report, "unit does not connect to iTunes"
Putting the unit docking station, it charges but it does not charge when connected to a computer
The iPod is vintage so the are no parts or replacements for it
Please accept our sincerest apologies upon this matter

thanks 0Ari0, your suggestion of labeling all the files as part of a compilation worked. After I did this i changed the media kind to audiobook, and voila, one single book appeared in the Audiobooks submenu. The individual files aren't listed under their proper artist in the iTunes music folder, but I don't really care about that. I'm ok with having the book listed in Compilations as long as it's all in one piece.
thank you

ERROR ITMS-9000: "META-INF/container.xml must contain one and only one root file reference."

Hi all,
After correcting a table-of-contents error in my .epub file, I am unable to upload it via iTunes Producer. It lists this error message:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "META-INF/container.xml in 9780615431727.epub must contain one and only one root file reference." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
The file has been verified and only has one root file reference in the container.xml file.
Has anyone been able to find a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Hello Forum Users…
For those of you who have run into the upload roadblock, getting an error message similar to this:
Package Summary:
1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
          /Users/slm/Desktop/MUSIC to PICTURE for IBOOK/2012 MTP for iTUNES Bookstore/9780615600918.itmsp - Error Messages:
                    Apple's web service operation was not successful
                    Unable to authenticate the package: 9780615600918.itmsp
                    ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): 'p50': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OPS/content9.xhtml'" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
Following is a "specific" fix, but the idea of the fix will help you with your specifics too.
I tried for 17 days to upload a book that looked and worked perfectly in iPAD via Preview.
After many discussions with Apple, who to their credit stayed with me over 2-3 days, I decided to play a hunch.
I went into a duplicated copy of the book and on every page, (because the error message was not telling the whole story), looked for what InDesign would call "Overset Text."
Now... the "flaw" in iBOOK Author (hint) is that it won't advise you of this "overset text" as does InDesign.
And to compound the matter, the exported ePUB document WORKS in iPAD Preview.
See Screenshots from InDesign:
Okay... Couldn't add it but it is a Warning Box that says there is overset text. (Characters which exceed the text box.)
Nevertheless, I played this hunch, and sure enough found a few boxes with the + in them. In other words I clicked on EVERY text holder and every text block in the entire document.
Where I found + signs, I simply deleted some carriage returns from the iBOOK file... (please note… carriage returns and literally empty spaces that caused the overset text) and then erased all previous copies of the Music to Picture Book on my hard drive, iTUNES and iPAD.
The result? A "text-book" upload with no snags! As my Son would say… "Victory!"
So, first make sure that you are using only PNGs, Jpegs and Movie files to iBook Specs. Then... make sure there are no overset text boxes, which you must do manually.
Enjoy & Godspeed!

Photoshop Action That Only Opens One File Type

I want to create an action that only opens one particular file type, performs some changes to it, then finds all the others of that file type. I can do everything else and use the Image Processor to run it, but I can't find any way to tell the action to only open .GIF files and ignore everything else. Am I just missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Andacar

See this post about the Picture Processor:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5146485#5146485
Another possibilty besides perhaps using a script, is if you have the latest photoshop cs6 version from the cloud, which allows conditional actions.
However, since i'm not on the creative cloud i don't know, but maybe someone else that does have the cloud version can comment.
added: doesn't appear so for the new conditionals

How to Load 2 library files using System.loadLibrary in one .java file!!!

Hello,
Someone please help me. What I am trying to do is load two .DLL files in my program. Program works fine when I
do the following way i.e. I have two .java files and in each I am loading one .DLL file. But I don't want to have
two .java files I want to load both the .DLL files in one program.
**************** Example.java **********
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Example
public native int A(String in);
static
System.loadLibrary( "API2" );
public static void main( String args[])
     Ex ex = new Ex();
     int r;
     r = ex.A("TEST");
public Example()
*****************Ex.java*****************
public class exsysml
public native int A(String in);
public exsysml()
System.loadLibrary("API3");
The above way works. But I need only one .java file to load both the .DLL files. i.e.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Example
public native int A(String in);
static
System.loadLibrary( "API2" );
System.loadLibrary( "API3" );
public static void main( String args[])
     Example ex = new Example();
     int r;
     r = ex.A("TEST");
public Example()
but when I do this way it doesn't work and I get a UnSatisfiedLinkage Error at ex.A("TEST"). While doing the top way it works.
How can I fix this to just have one .java file and load both the library files as done in the bottom program but doing this program doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

what I figured out so far is that we can only load one library file in a single class and define all the native methods present in that library in the class where we are loading it. Means we can't load multiple library files in a single class. It's just my thought else if someone provides a better solution. I may be wrong so that's why I need your help.
Thanks
