Can't import an .AI containing editable text

I am using Flash CS3 (v.9.0.2) on MacOSX (v. 10.4.11). When I
try to import an .AI that contains editable text (not outlined
text), the import dialog box doesn't come up and I have no artwork
on the stage or in the library. I do not get any kind of an error
message, either. There is a brief flash on-screen (like a glitch)
and it returns me to the stage without my artwork.
I've isolated the editable text to be the issue, as I can
easily import the same AI file, minus the text. Also, changing the
font doesn't seem to make a difference.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any insight would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Heidi

got a feeling your headings are wrong ... change "Tape" to "Reel" and drop "Duration"
I would go with:
Name Reel Media Start Media End
cheers

I can't import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user.

1) I create two user both have connect role,and each has its own tablespace, DDL:
create user d2zd identified by d2zd default tablespace d2zd quota unlimited on d2zd account unlock;
grant connect to d2zd;
create user d3zd identified by d3zd default tablespace d3zd quota unlimited on d3zd account unlock;
grant connect to d3zd;
2)Then enter oracle as d2zd and create a table contains BLOB column and insert data to the table.
3) export d2zd as follow:
exp d2zd/d2zd file=d2zd.dmp
4) import to d3zd as follow:
imp d3zd/d3zd fromuser=d2zd touser=d3zd file=d2zd.dmp
the question is the table with BOLB colum can't be import,
it says:have no privilege on tablespace d2zd.
How can I import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user?

Hi - the reason for as our friend already told ist that a blob can be stored outside of the table segment, in another Tablespace, This is for performance reason.
Sou you would need to have Quota on two tablespaces.
the one which holds the table segment the other which holds the blob(segment).

How to export all images that don't contain editable text

Hi guys,
Is there any hack, script or general function to export all images from a PDF withouth them containing editable text?
For instance, i have a pdf that contains some scanned documents - these need exporting, i also have some tables in there that have editable text in them - these are being exported when i select export all images.
Can anyone help?
Cheers!

Search for a word or words in them as a group. Search for .pdf file type and containing....
Use a common word that they all might contain such as "a" or "the", etc.
The files that have been OCR'd will show up in the search. This won't catch 100% of them, but it will allow you to separate most of them.

IPhoto can't import when card contains movies

Hi all,
I have been suffering from a weird problem for a while: once in a while iPhoto refused to import images from an SD card and hung with the color wheel spinning until the next reboot. If interested, the original thread is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?tstart=0
I was never really able to track down the cause of this, it disappeared when the card was reformatted in the camera. Since it happened again today, I did some systematic investigations. It turned out that not only iPhoto, but also Image Capture is affected: As soon as an SD card plugged into the Mac contains a movie, things get messed up. In iPhoto, all I get is the spinning wheel. In Image Capture, all images taken BEFORE the movie are shown as thumbnail pictures, but the movie and later images are not. Even if the card is ejected in Finder, Image Capture still shows it, but it shows no images. This continues even when the card is plugged in again and/or Image Capture is shut down and restarted. It remains until the Mac is rebooted.
If the card contains no movies, everything is fine. All this happens regardless from what card reader I am using (I tried two different ones) and what camera the files on the card were taken with (I tried a Casio Z-1000 recording AVI movies and a Panasonic FT-3 recording MOVs). The issue also appears regardless from the size of the movie file (I took a very short one, even smaller than a usual image file).
It only happens on my wife's Mac (2006 MacBook Pro CD 1.83 GHz, latest Snow Leopard, latest iPhoto). The problem does NOT appear at all on my 2008 MacBook (C2D 2.4 GHz, same software).
I can still import into iPhoto when simply copying the files to hard disk and importing from there. In contrast to what I described in the thread linked above, iPhoto now recognizes already imported images.
Any hints how to solve this are really appreciated!
All the best,
Thomas.
EDIT: This reads just like this one:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15860473#15860473
so at least I'm not alone with this problem.

Phil:
Movies rotated with Quicktime Pro import into iPhoto OK. I downloaded and tried TransformMovie and it wouldn't import. It had been changed to a .mov file. There were some differences in the video portion as indicated by QT Player, mostly in video offset. But changing it to what the QT version was didn't help. When I did a Save As in QT Player the resulting file was importable. QT Pro is worth the money and more. You can do a lot of things with it.
EURIKA! Just change the file's extension back to .avi and it will import.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Transitioned to Photos. Now I can't import pictures to my editing software. The Library is greyed out?

I transitioned to Photos and all my photos are there. Everything was fine. I use a program for editing with my Bamboo Tablet and import photos from my library as a layer to the project I'm working on. The program is called ArtRage Studio if that matters. When I am using ArtRage, and I need to import a picture as a layer, i can't. I navigate to the file location of my "library", which I see both the iPhoto Library icon and a Photo Library icon, but I can't select them. I use to be able to just select Pictures like I do in Finder but now this garbage program Photos has screwed everything up. I have to actually launch Photos view anything. I can't view anything in the finder either like I use to.
This is garbage. I know its a longshot that someone also uses ArtRage, but am i missing something ? Why can't I view my location of the photos I have?

The new Photos is an entirely different app than iPhoto was and requires plugins from the 3rd party editor developers to be able to use them to edit photos in the library. In the meantime we'll need to export the original file to the Desktop, edit it there with the 3rd party app and then import the edited version back into the library as a new photo.
So we're at the mercy of the 3rd party app developers. I know Pixelator just came out with a new version that can access the Photos library to obtain photos to edit. But all edits have to be saved to the Desktop and imported as new photos.

Can i import .pst files containing emails to my iPad Air?

I want to use my iPad Air as a replacement for my laptop.

Can we edit Text ?

I - for the life of me - can't find a way to edit text on it's layer once the check box has been clicked and the text layer is made...
We can transform, size, skew etc., using the tools under the move tool icon but I can't seem to find a way to actually EDIT text or change fonts once the layer has been created.. I am missing something ??
It's a pain to think that every time I want to change a word ( read make a spelling mistake ) or want to try a different font I have top delete that layer and start again ??
Thanks in advance,
Edit - Should also add that I am using the iPad version of PST....

svik12,
Understood this already it's not just a Android thing - - - the text is editable up until you click "OK" and create the layer...
After that point it is rasterized and no longer editable - meaning can't enter the layer and select the text, change font or change spelling...
The double edge of that sword of that process is that even if you export the file to your Photoshop via a PSDX file transfer - that same text layer is ALSO no longer editable in PS either....
Essentially once you have clicked OK and created the "text" layer - if you find you need to change spelling, add words, change fonting - - you have to delete the layer and start all over again...

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall settings.? IDK if I'm even doing that right. Can anyone help out here?

You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Editing text in bitmap image using Fireworks

Hello,
I would like to know how to edit the text in the attached bitmap image using Fireworks. I have attached the image for reference. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
C. Lee

I'm sorry, but you cant. A bitmap file doesn't contain editable text, it only contains a grid of colored pixels. What you need to do is create a new image. For that, you'll need to know the color and the font.
If you don't have the hex code for the color, you can sample with the eyedropper tool. Since the font is so thin, sample at the thickest area you can find to minimize anti-aliasing color blending.
If you don't know the font, try one of these sites:
Identifont http://www.identifont.com/
WhatTheFont! http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
(It looks a bit like Century Gothic, but it isn't.)
Good luck!

How scan a text document and save as editable text not image

I have a new ENVY 5660 and a macbook pro running yosemite. When I scan a text document and try to save it, I am only given a choice of image formats. How can I save it as an editable text in pages or word?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are wondering how to scan a text document, and save as editable text, and not a image, with your HP Envy 5660, on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, it states: NOTE: Integrated OCR software is available only with Officejet 5740 and 8040 models. Which means, this software is not included with this printer. You might be able to perform this operation, if you are able to get third-party OCR software. Such as: ReadIris. Hope this answers your question! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Can't edit text in a client's file... Wisdom appreciated!

A client has sent me a file (PDF) that contains various elements: typography that's editable, illustrations that are editable, and some typography that does not seem to be editable in Illustrator.
The apparently non-editable type shows up each character as an individual element, but not as outlines; the characters are in a bounding box but if I click View>outline, I don't see the character's outlines I just see an empty rectangle.
The file came from an artworker and I don't know if he's got a different version of illustrator to me or what...
Keen to sort this withough having to re-type out all of the detail...
Any suggestions?!
Thanks

Likely a different version. Since you don't see the outlines OR the editable text in "Outline" mode, that tells me the text is embedded as a graphic or Symbol. Look in the Symbol panel and see if there are characters there.
Can you "Jump into" an individual character by double-clicking?
What do you see listed in the Layer panel for each element?

How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
