Basic question about importing wma files

Hi, I have a basic question about importing wma files. I ripped some cd's on a Mindows computer using Media Player, but now want to copy them to my Mac and use them in iTunes on my Mac. when I use Import in iTunes, nothing happens and I cant even seem to copy them one by one using the Music folder.
Can someone help me?
thanks

iTunes for Mac doesn't support .wma files.
If you can use a PC to convert them, you can use one of many freeware applications. Google for 'wma to mp3'.
For the Mac there's the shareware program EasyWMA that can convert them.
Hope this helps.

Some questions about importing HTML files

Hi, folks
Let's suppose we want to import a pack of HTML files formatted in HTML5 wit's it's CSS into a double-oriented folio. A couple or three questions about that, please:
1. Is there a limit for a reasonable quantity of HTML files I can import into a folio? I mean.. 100 would be way too much, for instance?
2. These HTML files could be navigated and referenced from inside TOC-pages made in InDesign,right? (navto://..., I gues?)
2. Will it be possible, by means of HTML adaptative design techniques, to treat both orientations (vertical and horizontal) as different viewports or screen sizes so that the design adapts for instance the column width with its CSS?
3. That said, will the InDesign final app. respect that adaptative CSS rules?
I am asking this because we are looking for a way to inject big quantities of content with a very similar design into our application in a really fast and automatizable way and I have the suspicion* that importing HTML5 preformated CSS files could be the a very good and simple alternative to importing XML into InDesign templates as we start out content as tagged almost-html files.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo Sánchez (Posting from Madrid)

I assume you are asking about using HTML articles.
1. There is no limit beyond simply keeping things reasonable.
2. Yes. Just use navto://articlename
3. Yes. I've used min-width of 768 and max width of 1024 to control it.
4. InDesign does not enter into any of this with the exception of using the folio builder panel. Everything else is done in Dreamweaver or whatever program you decide to use for the article.
If you want to restrict the HTML articles to one orientation or the other, use the _h and _v suffixes.

Basic question about importing/exporting movies

Hi all! I'm a complete novice with Flash (and moviemaking). I used it many years ago, but haven't used it in a long, long time. Flash may not even be the program I need... so let me know if that's the case.
Basically, I shot a video with my camera. It is a .mov file. I imported it into iMovie and edited it. Then I exported it as a .mov file. I want to embed the video into a web page. As far as I can tell, in Dreamweaver it needs to be a .swf file. But I don't think I can export an swf file from iMovie. So I read online I could convert my file using Flash.
I followed directions I found online, but though it seems to be working... it's not. Here's what I did:
I opened a new file in Flash. I used the default type. I clicked on the timeline and went to File > Import > Import movie (using all the default choices).
I broused to find the .mov file. I clicked Next.
I chose a skin that was the default (Minimal Flat Custom Color Play Back See CounterV...). Clicked Next. Clicked Finish.
A little movie player is now on my Flash screen.
I started adding frames (F5). I see frames are added in the timeline.
But... when I go to play the movie... it DOES play... but the screen is black.
I see I CAN export it as a swf file... but since I can't see the movie when I play it, I'm guessing it's not working (the tutorial I was using said I should be able to see it at this point).
So... am I going about this the completely wrong way? Why is it not working? Thanks for helping me out.
julie
PS I'm using Flash Professional CC v. 13.0.0.759 on an iMac

open your mov file in adobe media encoder. save to flv or f4v.
open flash pro, add an flvplayback component to the stage and assign its source (using a relative, not absolute path) to be your flv or f4v. test.
when you have that working you can publish a swf and html. use the html code to embed the swf in your web page.
p.s. you'll need to upload the flv/f4v, the swf the html file that contains the embedding code AND, if you use an flvplayback skin, that skin.

Basic question about import

I need to import an already existing user from a dmp file.
I am not sure if I must drop and recreate the user before importing or the import would drop all not existing objects, create the new ones, modify those that are different, insert new records, delete those not in the dmp file and update the different ones.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately the advice from the other poster is
just plain wrong.I wouldn't classify it as "plain wrong", "not accurate" yes maybe, but not wrong.
The OP's question was that he needs to import already existing user with existing objects.
Quoting Oracle's online Documentation of Oracle Utilities, Import's IGNORE parameter:
IGNORE
Default: n
Specifies how object creation errors should be handled. If you accept the default, IGNORE=n, Import logs or displays object creation errors before continuing.
If you specify IGNORE=y, Import overlooks object creation errors when it attempts to create database objects, and continues without reporting the errors.
Note that only object creation errors are ignored; other errors, such as operating system, database, and SQL errors, are not ignored and may cause processing to stop.
In situations where multiple refreshes from a single export file are done with IGNORE=y, certain objects can be created multiple times (although they will have unique system-defined names). You can prevent this for certain objects (for example, constraints) by doing an import with CONSTRAINTS=n. If you do a full import with CONSTRAINTS=n, no constraints for any tables are imported.
If a table already exists and IGNORE=y, then rows are imported into existing tables without any errors or messages being given. You might want to import data into tables that already exist in order to use new storage parameters or because you have already created the table in a cluster.
If a table already exists and IGNORE=n, then errors are reported and the table is skipped with no rows inserted. Also, objects dependent on tables, such as indexes, grants, and constraints, will not be created.

Question about imported wmv files

hi all,
if i import a .wmv video into the library of my .fla file,
does the import convert the .wmv into a flash movie? in other
words, when someone views the .swf in their browser, is it played
by the flash player alone, or is windows media somehow involved in
its playback?
many thanks,
macron

Question About Importing Midi Files??

I find breaking down tempos and creating a tempo map easier for me in Pro Tools. So I did that on a file tonight, and just made a dummy midi file in PT so that I could import it into Logic and have a tempo map ready to go.
But now I see that Logic will only import tempo if you OPEN the midi file. But there's nothing in the midi file as I mentioned, it was just a dummy to give me a map.
Now it means creating all my track setups, VIs, everything, everytime I do this. Is there any way around this that I'm missing?
I just want my existing template to import a midi file's tempo created in another program ...
Thanks
Tom

Hi
OPEN the MIDI file, then select all the tempo events (either in the Global Track or in the Tempo List). Copy the tempo events.
Switch to your Logic template project, open the Tempo list then paste in the tempo map. You might need to delete the first (original) tempo event after pasting.

Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

A very basic question about storage and safety:
I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
QUESTION:
Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
*Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

Basic question about NR filter

Very basic question about the (perhaps oversimplified) interface of the noise reduction filter.
Does anyone know definitively whether the first "Strength" slider is a master control for the filter overall (i.e. it controls the power of all other sliders below it), or whether it only affects an individual parameter (such as what might be perceived as luminosity-based noise, rather than color noise)?
In other words, if Strength is set to zero, but Reduce Color Noise is set to 100%, does the color noise reduction effectively become zero or 100%?
Neither the Help Menu nor three of the aftermarket books I have definitively addresses this. There are further redundancies regarding this "Strength" slider when advanced mode is turned on: for instance, if Strength on the "front" panel is set to 0, but 9 on the individual channel panels, what is the effective strength?
Thanks in advance -

Basic Questions About Compiling Source

Hi!
I have some very basic questions about compiling source on 10.6. BTW, if the unix discussions still exist, they've hidden them pretty well, so I hope I'm in the right place for this!
First off, you simply cd to the source dir, wherever it may be - in my case ~/Downloads/source/ - and during the install process, everything will be installed in its proper dir, right?
How do you know which compiler to use? There seem to be several: make, gmake, gcc, g++, etc...
Once you do figure out which compiler to run, the process is supposed to go like this, right?
./configure
make (or whatever)
make install
But this doesn't always work for me. For instance, I'm trying to compile 'arm', but it doesn't seem to have a 'configure' script.
$ ls ~/Downloads/arm
ChangeLog
README
armrc.sample
setup.py
LICENSE
arm
install
/src
Maybe it's that 'setup.py' file? What are you supposed to do?
Of course, it's not only this one that's given me trouble. Sometimes the readme will say I have to edit a certain file for my system. Are there just a few standard changes you always make? Or is it...how can I put it...complicated? How do you find out what's needed in those cases?

This is the place for UNIX discussions. If you have developer-related questions, there is a forum dedicated to that as well: Developer Forums
First off, you simply cd to the source dir, wherever it may be - in my case ~/Downloads/source/ - and during the install process, everything will be installed in its proper dir, right?
Yes. Hopefully the project you want to install follows standard conventions. If so, you can do "./configure", then "make", and finally "sudo make install" to install the software into "/usr/local".
How do you know which compiler to use? There seem to be several: make, gmake, gcc, g++, etc...
The make file will figure that stuff out.
Once you do figure out which compiler to run, the process is supposed to go like this, right?
./configure
make (or whatever)

Yes, with the addition of "sudo" before "make install" because "/usr/local" is owned by root.
But this doesn't always work for me. For instance, I'm trying to compile 'arm', but it doesn't seem to have a 'configure' script.

arm? You mean "arm (anonymizing relay monitor) - Terminal status monitor for Tor relays." You really don't want to be messing with that stuff. The only people involved with Tor that are trustworthy are US Navy intelligence who have their own uses for it. If you don't understand it as well as they do, best stay away.

Basic questions about JAAS capabilities

I've never used JAAS for authentication or authorization in a Java app before. Can somebody that has (or at least has some experience and knowledge about JAAS) please answer the following couple of basic questions about it? (I know I could probably answer these myself with a few hours of reading.)
1. Can I use JAAS to restrict the users that can execute specific methods of my code?
2. If the answer to #1 is yes, is there a way to programmatically determine if a JAAS login user has the permissions to run a method before actually calling that method. In other words, can I ask something like canUserExecute(method) or do I have to just put the call to the method in a try/catch and catch a security exception of some type?
3. Is it fairly simple to have JAAS authenticate against a Windows Domain or a LDAP server?
4. Are there programmatic ways to add or edit user information in JAAS?
Answer to any of these questions are greatly appreciated. I'll even toss a couple of Dukes to the people that answer each question. Thanks in advance.

Basic questions about Notes domino connector

Hi,
I have a very basic question about the Lotus Domino connector for OIM. We have a requirement to provision accounts into the domino mail server and while doing that also update some information directly into a separate nsf file.
I checked the documentation and it seems while configuring an IT resource, we need to give the Mail DB path, and thats the only place where it refers to it.
Could you guys please let me know if this can be done? Can I write directly to a different nsf file, which is not like provisioning to the complete mail server. So the other attributes in the IT resource may not be able to be set up as its just the file I need to provision into.
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks, M

Hello folks, please share your experience working with the lotus notes connector.

Basic questions about Network Licence

Hi,
Before buying, I have some basics questions about the network licence of Acrobat
As an example, if I buy 5 network licence for 20 users.
If the 5 licence are used or if one user is outside and can't access the licence serveur, is there still some basic features available? I mean, is there a "acrobat reader" part that still allow users to read pdf?
In the same kind of problem, if 10 users are using Acrobat just for reading pdf file and that a user now want to use acrobat to create a pdf, is there still available licence or the 5 firsts that are just reading have take the 5 licences available?
Thank you for your answers

Few basic questions about database administration

Hello,
I have a few basic questions about database administration.
1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive. It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive. My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine. But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
Thanks for any insights.
I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

Some basic questions about DAC

Hello
I am just starting to use DAC now and I have some basic questions about DAC..
1: How many different kinda image tables are there, what are they used for?
2: In order to check which ETL mapping with in the same execution plan is taking a long time, what to do? I mean is there a table that stores such info?
3: How to determine which ETL task to run after and which after?
4: Is subject area always map to the Informatica workflow folder? Or what should subject area be?
Please shed some lights on it, deeply appreciate!
Thanks

Hi,
I have problems to understand you question but will do a try:
From a logical point of view objects can be only serialized reasonabely when they have a state of it's own which can be reestablished at a later point in time and space without further dependencies.
F.E. a "serialized file" would NOT make much sense cause it depends heavily on the state of the underlying file system.
You can't expected that is can be deserialized at a later point of time (physical file refered may not longer exists) or on another machine, where the serialized object was transported to.
Technical - at zero approach - it's more or less trivial. Simply implement Serializable and all non static, non transient fields of your object will be serialized automatically.
But there is a couple of pitfalls, you should study documentations regarding this feature.
Hope this helps
Martin
