Can't import DLL

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the libsie API to open .sie files from SoMat (there is a plugin for this data format for LabVIEW and DIAdem but it doens't work). I've previously imported dll's using the import wizard with a lot of sucess but I dont' know my way around c or c++ so am a bit stumped on this one. When I try to import the attached dll (you'll need to chage the extension from .doc to .dll) using the attached header file none of the calls show up. They are there in the header file. I'm wondering why this is. Is it a badly formattted header file or is there some other issue?
I've attached a copy of the zip file that I downloaded from the HBM website. There is a demo .sie file in there if you want to look at one. There appears to be pretty comprehensive documentation on the API on the website.
Any help or pointers gratefully received.
Phil

It doesn't matter what language was used to create the DLL, so long as it exports a C-compatible interface (which it does).
If you make a copy of the header file and remove SIE_DECLARE(), leaving whatever is inside the parentheses unchanged, from each function declaration, I suspect you'll be able to import at least some of the functions. I don't know how well the import utility will handle the pointer data types, you might have to edit each Call Library Function Node to fix them manually after importing.

iMovie cannot edit mpg files, unles they come directly from a supported camera.
I would suggest that you use a free third party app to convert it.
Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is free.
Drag you mpg clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Apple Intermediate Codec, and save it where you can find it. You should be able to import this file into iMovie, using the FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE command.
Note: If your file is an MPEG2 clip, you may need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. Don't buy it unless you have to. It costs about $20. You just have to install the component. MPEG Streamclip will use it in the background.

Import dll

I am trying to import a dll. All of it. I will need almost all of the functions. I have tried using the Import Library Function Node, but I realized that it is very time consuming. Also, there are functions spanning too many different header files. so I am trying to use Tools -> Import -> Shared Library (.dll). I get stuck with preprocessor directives. I am posting step by step:
The message for the first function is:
The function cannot be imported into LabVIEW. This might be caused by one of the following problems:
The function is not declared in the header file but is exported in the library.
Check the header file to make sure it contains declarations of the function.
Undefined symbols can prevent the wizard from recognizing functions and parameters. To correct this problem, check the header file to determine if you must add preprocessor definitions. Click the Back button to return to the previous page of the wizard to add a preprocessor definitionsl (for example, "NIAPI_stdcall = __stdcall" or "NIAPIDefined = 1").

Most of these should be undefined. For example, there is:
#ifdef GENAPIC_EXPORTS
//do A
#else
//do B
And I want it to do B. But this is complaining that GENAPIC_EXPORTS is undefined... How to get around that?
I am attaching PylonC.h file which I think is enough to help me. The rest of the whole api is available on basler's website: http://www.baslerweb.com/MV_Customer_Service_Downloads_pylon-Linux-Text-16855.html. I am using Pylon 3.0 64-bit , C version.

you forgot to add the genapi include directory path in the second step. Your include file references this here:
#include <genapic/GenApiC.h>
And don't try to generate wrappers for DLLRegisterServer and DLLUnregisterServer.
And last but not least, don't expect the Import Library Wizard to create magic. It can create the DLL caller VIs for you but it can not guess at how this API should be used. A C header file only gives information about how to link to the function, but none at all about how to use it. A LabVIEW VI usually also implements quite a bit about how the API is used (preparing parameters such as preallocating output buffers, etc) that is really impossible to deduce from the header file alone. It's what a C programmer continously has to worry about when calling functions and since you are incorperating this API into LabVIEW you have to worry about it too. Otherwise it will just cause exceptions.
So you will have to go through every and each VI and check it for such problems, which is really the hard work. Creating the VIs that call the functions with Call Library Nodes may seem like a lot of work, but once you have done one or two it's absolutely trivial in comparison to the real hard work that the Import Library Wizard can't do for you at all.

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

Programmatic access to Import DLL Wizard

Our company does a number of products, and would like to cut down time when working with the SDK. I am almost pleased with the import wizard in 2012, but I would like a few things changed. I have all the code ready to modify the output from the import DLL wizard with the scripting module, but if I could have it automatically generate and run the whole thing (possibly through a command line post-build instruction in Visual Studio), that would save some hassle.
It's not a big deal. I just wanted to speed up the process a little, since our SDK format doesn't change. We had a custom VI generator for our SDKs before, but it gets 95% of the way there, and the wizard does everything we missed and gets about 95% of the way there as well. That, or I could try to convince my coworkers to accept the output from the wizard.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since the SDK was already released it is probably not an option anymore, but you can certainly increase the chances for the import library wizard to do a good job by choosing standard API parameters. Basically this means to only use skalars (passed by value or reference), C strings and simple arrays. Never use structs that contain arrays (both fixed size or not). Structs only containing skalars are fine though, but don't create structosaurusses, the C equivalent of clustersaurusses in LabVIEW, big unwieldy structs/clusters.
Then you have to review all the VIs that use output array or string buffers to let the called function write into, to make sure they are preallocated to a reasonable size for the used function.

How can I import my old Appleworks spreadsheets into Neo Office or Pages

I am a new MBP owner and have some spreadsheets in Appleworks from my old iMac. I don't have Appleworks on my new MBP. I have downloaded Neo Office and could use it to create a new spreadsheet but can't import my previously created ones. Must I retype then? Or...as an alternative, I have iWorks. Can I import them into Pages? How? Thanks for any help.

The above suggestion didn't work for me. However, I did find this site that helped me--and it might help someone else:

It worked for spreadsheet--now I have to try to convert a data base document in Appleworks.

Upgraded to 10.6.8 and now can't import photos from Olympus camera

1. Recently bought a new Olympus VR310 digital camera. I couldn't get either Image Capture (6.0.1) or iPhoto (9.1.5) to import images from day one, onto my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. However, if I took the SDHC card out of the Olympus and put it into an older Canon Ixus digital camera , and used that to upload, then both Image Capture and iPhoto worked perfectly. So it's not the card. Or the USB connection. It's something special to the Olympus and the Mac. Obviously I tried all the usual stuff about dumping plist files etc. Nothing worked.
2. The problem manifests itself, when the Olympus is connected, as Image Capture being unable to show more than one, if any, thumbnails, and it is unable to import at all. In iPhoto the problem manifests immediately it calls up the Olympus as a connected camera. The dreaded spinning beachball of death kicks off, and the program 'stops responding'. Even after I quit iPhoto and unmount the Olympus, iPhoto will not open without the spinning ball of death until I restart.
3. Anyway, I tried connecting the Olympus to my son's Macbook, (System 10.6.7, Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.1) and all worked perfectly. Hmm… so it's NOT just down to the Olympus. It's something to do with my setup.
4. I also have a bootable USB drive connected to the Mini, so I booted into that, so I then have my computer and my user preferences etc running under the bootable drives System 10.6.6, Image Capture 6.0.1, and iPhoto 9.1.5. That worked perfectly with the Olympus too. So it's not my the combination of my user settings, Image Capture 6.0.1, or iPhoto 9.15, or the Olympus.
5. My guess then was it was some corruption of the system on the Mac Mini. So I reinstalled the Mac Mini system, from the install DVD, so I had a nice fresh Snow Leopard 10.6.0. That gave me Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.5. When I attached the Olympus, everything worked perfectly. Great.
THEN, I updated the system from Apple's Oftware Update, all the way to 10.6.8, which is where I started from.
6. And guess what. Nothing works anymore. Immediately before the update, the Olympus importing worked. Immediately afterwards it didn't. I'm back where I was at the beginning, with exactly the same problem.. I can't import from the Olympus but the Canon is fine. (see 1 and 2 above)
So, it seems to me that the Upgrade straight to 10.6.8 is what caused the problem. And given I could get the Olympus to work on my son's computer (system 10.6.6) it's something between 10.6.6 and 10.6.8. Why the Canon works on all the permutations, and not the Olympus, I don't know. I don't know why the Olympus ONLY doesn't work with 10.6.8.
7. Obviously there are tedious workarounds (but none that lets iPhoto capture the photos directly) which I can use to get the images into iPhoto eventually, but hey, this is an Apple Mac, who wants to be doing tedious workarounds all the time.
I've had Macs since 1984 (I'm that old…) so I'm a fan, and I'm reasonably competent, but this has me stumped.
Any ideas, anyone.
Any help much appreciated.

Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

Hello Salemr,
When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.

Can't import tracks from an older version of iTunes

Since my rMBP has no optical drive I've found a practical use for my old G3 iMac which is for ripping CDs.
The G3 of course is only running iTunes 7.6 (the newest version available for G3 Macs) whereas my MBP is running the latest version.
I've shared the iTunes Library on the G3 and can access it on my MBP, and can even play tracks, but there is no Import button at the bottom of the window so I can't import the ripped tracks into my MBP iTunes. This works fine if I use my wife's MBP (my old one) which is also running the latest version of iTunes.
Have I missed a setting on the G3, or is this a limitation due to the big difference in iTunes versions?
I'm ripping to Apple Lossless if that matters.

How did you share this library? If you're talking about what iTunes has, there is a difference between Home Sharing which is a feature of newer iTunes and enable copying fo files, and plain music sharing which older iTunes had but only allowed music to be played.
Ah, thanks, that will be it.
Guess that means I can't use my G3 for doing this. Oh well, not to worry.
