Best way to extract all images from Messages?

My iPad freaked out earlier today and unfortunately I had to do a recovery and restore (from iCloud backup). I say unfortunately because I was 90% certain I was not backing up photos/video (and there was no way to check before doing the restore). And indeed I had photo/video backup turned off.
I'm mostly back to normal now, except for all the lost photos/videos. I've gone through some of Messages to Save ones I sent there.
What is the best way to extract all images from past Messages so I don't have to tediously load earlier messages? I understand there are some programs that allow one to go through a local backup and go through messages. But for this I suppose I'd first need to make a local backup of everything, no? Are those programs able to extract just images I've sent or do they grab everything (i.e. images others have sent me?)
Related, before I did the initial restore could I have easily retrieved the photos/images on the device through some third-party solution?
Lastly, and semi-off topic.. What determines the image name for an image in Messages? For example, I Copied a photo someone sent me via Messages and Pasted it three times back to her (all at the same time). The image filenames are IMG_6447.jpg, IMG_4820.jpg, IMG_0291.jpg.

Thanks Kirby. I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library. So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop. By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

HT1338 best way to extract a video from a website?

what is the best way to extract a video from a website? THANKS!

how bout a bit more thought on this one, some people are trying to pull a video clip from their 15 seconds of fame on channel 7 news,
or perhaps a short intro video clip, on a site they own becuase it is playing as flash. since they never had hard copy of the video clip, its difficult to ask themselves for permission, if they don't know how, which is, i'm sure, why this fellow did indeed ask.
no such thing as dumb questions...just helpful ones that others may also wonder.

Best way to "transfer" Aperture images from MacBook Pro to iMac?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" to import and edit images (within Aperture and CS6 as an external editor) when I'm out in the field shooting.
I prefer to have all my images in one location and thus desire to copy eveything to my home base iMac when I return home.
What is the best way to "transfer" those images so that my homebase iMac Aperture Library can recognize the new masters and edited versions? Complicating this is the desire to "stamp" each image with a metadata preset upon import that I can do either at the laptop import or upon transfer to the iMac.
I know just enough to be dangerous but clearly there is an optimal way to consolidate and manage images when using two computers.
Welcome any thoughts from fellow photographers!

Best way to copy ALL DATA from song to song?

Hello everyone,
I'm in the middle of scoring a film and have ran into what seems to be a corrupted song, and want to attempt to transfer all data from this song into a new file.
I'm running multiple global tracks with changes in tempos and time sigs all over, multiple audio tracks, and various Virtual instruments. I also have an extensive environment in which I use instrument tracks to access my exs instruments, as well as multi-instrument tracks for kontakt 2. Of course I have this saved as a template, but as you know as projects progress, the current song rarely looks like your autoload. So simply copying and pasting will not work, as I have many new instruments and audio files in different places in my arrange page. Thus when I try to copy and paste, logic sees that the current tracks are not "correct" and asks to "create new instruments" which seems to randomly throw all the instruments to the bottom of my arrange page, making it all out of whack!
With some help from the audio config window and some manual editing of the arrange page, I was able to get my song pretty much back to normal, but for future reference, what is the best way to transfer all of my data to another song, while still keeping the look and functionality of the song intact?
Thanks in advance for your help! If it helps to see what I'm talking about, I'm willing to post my song file for reference, just ask.

I'd LOVE to somehow avoid #4 if possible. As I stated
above, my projects always change from the templates
due to extra audio tracks, audio instruments, etc, so
a simple "copy and paste" does not seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing?
Yup, I was missing something really simple. If you choose NOT to copy instruments, it will ask you to keep the instrument or create a new track. If you keep the instrument (since my instruments names remained the same as the template) logic will connect the tracks with the instruments and only put the additional tracks (i.e. extra audio tracks etc) on the bottom. WAY COOL!
Now my process is a little easier, however if you have any other tips so share please feel free to post.

What is the best way to extract all my information from my macbook pro?

i wanna extract all my info, put it into an external hard drive and erase it from my mac.

If you plan on buying a apple laptop you have two options. You can use time machine or pull the data off of it directly and put it onto the external. I advise the second choice. This way you do not have stuff that you dont need filling up the space on your new drive. Get your applications, music, documents, photos, videos and perhaps downloads and desktop; Put all of these on your external. And then reinstall osx onto your drive.
*** If buying a windows machine next check the format of the drive in disk utility. You will need a program called Paragon NTFS to format the drive window compatibility. You have to pay for the free version but can download a trail version for free.

Intel Hex Format is a text format describing binary data, usually used for chip programming devices. Besides records for the actual data itself it also allows for addressing records, such that you only need to have the data in the file that needs to be written to the chip, even if the various areas are all over the address range of the chip. Since it is a well known format for hardware developers, some people coming here assume that everybody knows what it is. Of course many true softies may never have heard of it.
rolfk, thanks for the information. I was not aware of this. I guess I am a true softie even with my EE background.

What is best way to extract a still from a video clip

In a iMovie project there is a frame I would like as a still photo. Can I extract it from iMovie?

You can do it in iMovie '09 too. To export your still frames as JPEGs:
Choose Share > Export Using QuickTime.
Type a title for your movie in the Save As field.
Select the location where you want to save your movie. If the location you want doesn’t appear in the Where pop-up menu, click the blue Arrow button to the right of the Save As field, and then navigate to the desired folder.
Select the file format you want to export to from the Export pop-up menu (Select "Movie to Image Sequence)".
Click Options to see the default settings for compression, quality, key frame rate, frame reordering, encoding mode, and dimensions.
To change the compression settings (known as the “codec”), including quality and frame rate, click Settings (this option isn’t available for all export formats), and then specify your settings. Depending on the export format you choose, you see different codecs and compression options. If you select “Movies to QuickTime Movie” as your export format, you can make the following adjustments:
To change the compression type, frame rate, key frames, data rate, and compressor quality, click Settings. Setting a low key frame number (such as every ten frames) creates a better-quality movie with a larger file size. Set the frame rate last; you might get choppy-looking video playback if you set the frame rate to less than about 12 frames per second. Higher quality compressor settings result in a larger file size for your movie.
To add filter effects, such as blur, color adjustments, or “aging,” click Filters, and then select a type of filter from the list and make your adjustments. Any filters you apply affects the entire movie. You see a preview of your changes as you work.
To set the frame size, click Size, and then select a dimension setting from the pop-up menu and whether you want to preserve letterboxing. This size setting affects the overall size of your movie.
To export a silent movie, deselect Sound. Or select it, and then click Settings to change the default sound export settings, including format, sample rate, sample size, and channels.
If you will not be streaming this video on the Internet, deselect “Prepare for Internet Streaming.” Or select it, and then select a streaming type. If you select Hinted Streaming, you can further specify streaming behavior, including payload encoding, packet size, packet duration, QT metadata interval, repeat packets, and repeat interval.
After setting your preferences for export, click Save.
To learn more about working with compression settings and QuickTime, see the topics on exporting files in QuickTime Help. To open QuickTime Help, open the QuickTime application and then choose Help > QuickTime Help.

Is there a way to Extract all formulas from Crystal Reports files?

Hi:
I have about 40 Crystal Reports (.rpt files). I need to go through each one and look at formulas if a certain variable/value is used since it has currently changed. It is taking way too long and not to mention inefficent to open each file, look through any place where there could be custom formulas such as when to suppress - etc. Is there are way to easily exact all custom formulas from all those report into say a Text file so I can do a Search for it? That would be the easiest way to find what I'm looking for.
I have Crystal Reports XI.
Thanks in advance for your help.

One option is to use a tool such as rptInspector. See: [http://www.softwareforces.com/Product/ri/pro/3/rptInspector.htm|http://www.softwareforces.com/Product/ri/pro/3/rptInspector.htm]

Best way to call web service from Message Driven Bean

I'm q'ing msgs up and would like to use a message driven bean to forward them to
an external web service. Weblogic workshop does not seem to support web service
controls in an EJB project. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Paul,
A non-trivial alternative, since you have the WSDL, would be to forget about trying
to use generated client code and just use JAX-RPC dynamic invocation instead.
That's how I call external web services from within an EJB in situations in which
generated client code cannot be incorporated prior to deployment. Minimally all
that is required is the WSDL and the service name, port name, and operation name,
although if non-builtin parameter types are used then you will have to manipulate
the service's type mapping registry.

that
it does not

Could you not first use clientgen on the external webservice, then take

I started out by trying to use the Web Service and JMS controls butit doesn't
seem like I can use a JMS control because that requires a conversationID,

What is the Best Way To Move Lightroom Images from Drive "D" to Drive "C"

I just built a new computer, I had all light room images in my drive "D".
On my new computer I have one large drive, and I want to move everything to the "C" Drive
and use 'RAID 1" to back up the whole system.
So,, How do I move the images over and keep everything intact?
Thanks,
Steve

Well, RAID-1 isn't quite the same as a backup, but it is close.
Personally I would (and do) have my C: drive just be for the OS. And
my pictures/catalogs are on separate RAID-1 drive(s).
So,, How do I move the images over and keep everything intact?
Depends. If you start LR, and open your old catalog, all your photos
will be missing (have the "?" on them, since the location changed).
You'd have to right-click on the "?", and "Locate" the files, in their
new location.

What is the best way to extract/consume HR data to and from Peoplesoft?

I have to do integration between Peoplesoft and Oracle ERP to send HR data from Peoplesoft to Oracle HRMS. I will use Oracle Fusion Middleware for building the interface. I don't have much experience in working with Peoplesoft tools, like PeopleTool, App Engine, Integration Broker, Component Interface and Oracle adapter for Peoplesoft. Can somebody please let me know what is the most popular or recommended or best way to extract HR data from Peoplesoft.
The second interface will consume some HR data from Oracle. Once again I need to know different ways to insert data into Peoplesoft.
I appreciate if you can share your experience for the above two scenarios.

Best Way to Make A Movie From Many DVDs?

I'd like to make a montage of select scenes from 20+ DVDs of raw footage using Premiere Elements 7. I can't import all of these DVDs into the space I've got available on my hard drives. I'd appreciate any recommendations for the best way to extract select scenes from these DVDs into smaller media files that I can then import into a project for final assembly.
I can imagine an approach of putting a single scene into a sceneline and rendering it into an importable file type, but I'm not certain which type to use that won't reduce image quality along the way.
Of maybe there's some whole other approach I'm missing, ie using Archive.
Thanks!
JGW

JGW,
Thanks for the clarification and the details. A couple of thoughts:
1.) some of the hardware writers, similar to your deck, do not do the best job at writing to DVD-Video. Many have a rudimentary Menuing function built in. Since a .VOB can contain a lot of "stuff," besides just a multiplexed MPEG-2 stream, the way that they handle the construction can create problems, even for programs, like PE, that can Import and use a DVD-spec. .VOB. It is truely a "sometimes they work, but sometimes they do not." I do not know about the Toshiba. I do not even know about my Panasonic deck, as I have never had to try and work from one of its DVD's. They have always been an archival copy of a client's VHS, or similar. Both might do fine, but both might create poorly formed .VOB's. We'd both have to test this.
2.) while DV-AVI Type II does introduce a bit of compression (someday compare it's file sizes to a DV Uncompressed), it is visually slight. In the case of the MPEG-2's, that was where the quality took the hit. Going directly to DV-AVI will probably not be discernable from the MPEG-2 source files. Now, if you're going back to a finished DVD, remember that you'll be doing another MPEG-2 compression from PE (or most NLE's).
3.) one consideration for quality (at the expense of much more time) would be to do a recapture of your 8mm tapes. If one did this, it would require the camera, or a deck for those tapes. If the camera was a digital, even if the tapes were analog, and it connected via FireWire, PE might be able to do a perfect Capture. Again, one may, or may not loose "device control." If the camera was analog, then something like the ADS Pyro could do the work. Have to say that I doubt, but do not know, that one would have device control, but that's not a really big deal.
4.) there are other ways to rip a DVD. Here's a LINK to a workflow. It's certainly not the only way to do it, and this one is written around Adobe Encore, but should translate almost perfectly to PE, or PrPro.
There are also editing programs that use an MPEG-2 workflow and offer "smart rendering," which means that only footage, that has been altered, will be re-Transcoded to MPEG-2. Unfortunately, I use an exclusive DV-AVI Type II workflow and do not have a clue where to tell you to look for one of these programs. I'd guess that there are some freeware ones, and probably some inexpensive ones. I'm just not the guy to tell you anything about any of these.
As for external storage, the prices are getting amazingly low. On Friday, Fry's (Western states US) had a 1TB unit for US$89. I am ashamed to tell you what I paid for my first 1TB external. Even worse, you should see what I paid for my first 2TB RAID 5 NAS! FWIW, I have been a big fan of and have bought many of the Maxtor 1.5 and 2TB units. So far, not problems.
Steve, or Paul_LS might have some MPEG-2 to MPEG-2 editors for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best way to extract this info?

Hello:
I have information stored in xmltype as follows:

Do I have a condition like this where ... = A1
