Can't import or Copy Environment Layers

Hi
Wondered if I could beg some help.
I'm trying to copy a layer from the Environment in one song into a new song so I can use it as a template. I've tried importing the layer from within the Environment of the new song (using Otions->Import Environment->Layer) and also copying all the objects in the environment layer I want, and pasting them into a new song.
In both cases the objects are kind of copied, but none of the audio objects, instruments etc. are replicated correctly in the new song. For example - my environment layer has a bunch of Software instrument tracks, plugins etc. When I paste them into the new song, instead of them being replicated in the same form, all my software instrument tracks have been changed into output channels!
Can anybody explain why Logic does not correctly recreate the environment objects when they are copied or imported? This whole area of functionality seems to be broken, because I have used this in years gone by when songs have become corrupt and UI've had to rebuild them from scratch, and when creating templates from a particular song.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

I just looked at track import and all my multitimbral instrument objects with linked Multi Instrument midi objects are not shown at all, which means I'm unable to import them. I guess this makes sense because they don't appear in the Arrange Window.
I can import all my MIDI, Aux, Audio and I/O tracks/objects but there's no point doing that if the MIDI tracks are not connected to the right instruments and the Aux channels are not being fed by the right instrument outputs.
Yep :-(

What I don't quite get is why I can't copy or import the environment layer. That's the bit which is literally days and days of work to build, and which Logic should be able to import. Do you know how I would have to prepare the new project in order for this to work?
Unfortunately, it can be a massive amount of work. The Env import function has not worked properly for me for some time (can't remember the last time I tried it). The 'accepted wisdom' is that working with an old template (which started life in Logic 8, 7, 6???) can end up carrying forward a whole bunch of problems. It is often better, or safer (?), to start afresh.

You mentioned not needing midi multis anymore - can you explain what's replaced this? I use multis because I can assign an instrument name, icon and colour to each channel of the multi, which then appears in the Arrange Window. IS there a more elegant way of doing this that I'm missing out on?
It all depends why you were using them in the first place.
Back in Logic 7, for example, there were issues with Track-Based automation with some plugins and 'Host Automation' along with Multi-Outputs (for example Stylus RMX), taking into account how clunky Logic was, and is, with multi-timbral instruments. One solution for that was to setup a complicated Enviroment setup whereby you could 'automate' MIDI tracks that were connected to the SI channel.
With more recent versions of Logic, and plugins, particularly with the Host-Automation features, I am not so sure that all this is necessary anymore.
If all you need is a TrackName, an Icon and a colour, you can do this directly. The attached pic shows one multi-timbral instance of RMX:
(All this depends on me understanding your requirements correctly???)

Can i import or copy photo to ibook on iphone 5

can i import or copy photo to ibook on iphone 5 or can i open photo attachement in ibook on iphone5

Here is some more info that might help clarify some of the issues.
My contact card and all of my other contacts show on my iPad (IOS 7)and in iCloud.
Everything after this has to do with my iphone.
All of my contacts but mine shows up on my iPhone 5 (IOS 7)
Siri no longer has a clue to who I am but gives me the chance to be anyone from my contacts...other than me because I am not one of her options.
Contacts are "on" in setting for mail and iCloud.
My info is not in Settings>Mail, contacts, calanders>My Info> contacts
I have backed up my phone and nothing changed.
I have tried a hard reboot.
I have not tried to add my info again into my phone mainly because I don't want to have two of me on everything else.
I have tried to search my phone number in contacts but the more numbers I typed in the list got smaller and smaller until my number was in and the list was blank.
I have made sure that every place I can search with spotlight search was turned on and searched my name and also did a search for my phone number. Only my name showed up in other people's contact info as brother or husband.
I know I am forgetting something but this is what I have gone over so far.

I can not import videos frames to layers.

I can not import videos frames to layers. ( I do have QuickTime )

You may whant to look at your windows creash reports to see where CS4 is crashing, It may help you find a solution if there is one.
Photoshop is not designed as a video editor. Video is more or less and add on.
Photoshop video support was also significantly enhances in CS6. While there is still support for menu File>Import>Video Frames to layers. Its not the best way to get video into Photoshop. Even dropping a quicktime file onto Photoshop is better. I find the best way to get video into Photoshop is using the Video Timeline add media into. Its quicker, You have better control of selecting the frames you want, And you can turn a video timeline into layers and a frame animation if that is what you want to work on.
If you want to do video get a lost cost video editor like Premier Elements. If you just want do do simple video editing spring for CS6 or subscribe to the cloud. CS6 will set you back some $700 for Standard $1000 for extended. Where $10 a month will get you the cloud. Where your get Photoshop Extended and can also use LR. I do not use LR or do video editing. I get the cloud mostly for the improvements being made to ACR and ACR in Cloud Photoshop is a Filter in addition of being a Photoshop and Bridge Plug-in.
Frame Animations and video timeline can be save for web as animated poor choice for video or large frame animation. They can also be rendered out as video. Video file sized are much smaller then Animated GIF have better color and can contain audio as well. Here the 1920x1080 Gif file size was nearly 29MB where the High Quality mp4 with audio was about 6MB.
View Screen capture in new tab or browser window the site scale screen captures very poorly at times.

I can't import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS4

I just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

How can I tell if I am using QT X or QT 7? Do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?
Edit: I downloaded QT 7 and changed it to my default player and restarted my computer. I don't know if this is what I was supposed to do, but the issue is still unresolved. Just wondering, why does it make a difference if it's QT 7 or X? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about these things as I am relatively new to photoshop

Can you import Video Frames to Layers if your video is larger than 1280x720?

I can import a video that is 1280x720 or smaller to layers, but can't import one larger than that or Photoshop freezes up. and then has to be force quit. when i reopen it after force quiting, it immediately crashes and then when i reopen it and try to import any video in any way it gives me the error message "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available."

PSE-10 how do I import and copy from external hard drive into organizer

Can I import and copy from external hard drive into organizer? Under Get Photos, I select import from folders/files but after browsing to the external hard drive the copy option is disabled/greyed out. I there a method to import and copy?

That would be mounted as an internal drive and hence the corresponding option is not checked during Import.
Once you import the media form this drive, you can select all and go for File >> Copy/Move files option and copy them wherever you want to.
Hope this helps
Thanks

How can I import files from a windows environment?

I am used to a pc environment. How can I import files ie. PDF, excel, word onto my iPad? I imagine that this is done through ITunes but am unsure how? Are there iPad versions of say Microsoft office that need to be used?

I use Documents to Go, a program that will open all the file types you listed. With its purchase you also get access to a desktop program that allows you to wirelessly sync documents between computers and your device, without going through iTunes.
The other ways to get data onto your device
Mail it to yourself and then save it to (send it to) the app from the e-mail.
Use iTunes to sync the data into the app that will open it.
Use an online service like Dropbox or others. You put the data 'out there' on your PC, then access it on your iPad and save it into the app.
One thing to remember, the iPad is different from Windows and Macs in one fundamental way. There is no 'windows explorer' or 'finder' for the iPad. The operating system doesn't have access to the whole device and everything on it. Instead you have apps that access bits and pieces of the system and have limited ways to share data across apps.
Think of it as World War Two French Resistence.....all these different groups (apps) working on the same device, but most if not all of them have very limited ways to discuss/contact each other. The apps are 'sandboxed' in that they have limited contact with other apps. So the easiest way to deal with various file types is to find the app that handles that kind of file and use that.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location".. This has never happened before.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have never had this happen before. I use a MacBook Pro

I also have the exact same issue. New IMac, installed LR, imported approximately 900 photos no problem, across the network from a Windows PC. The import stopped when the network connection was lost. Now I cannot import for the same reason "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have plenty of disk space and i have permission to the needed folders. I cannot even import from a folder already on the IMac.

I can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive.

Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.

Where to find .jar files so I can implement import java.util.logging

I'm trying to figure out how to take an application built for Websphere and port it to WebLogic. I've come across this blog entry http://blogs.sun.com/fkieviet/entry/using_java.util.logging_in_bea_weblogic and would like to try creating and using the startup class.
I have not been able to find the correct jar files.
import weblogic.common.T3ServicesDef;
import weblogic.common.T3StartupDef;
import weblogic.logging.LoggingHelper;
In reading the documentation on using the NonCatalogLogger APIs at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/i18n/writing.html I also see some code calling for the following imports
import weblogic.jndi.Environment;
import weblogic.logging.NonCatalogLogger;
1. Does anyone know where I can grab these?
2. There must be a strategy for finding these .jars that people use. If so, what is it?

I thought I understood you, but the more I look at what you've set here, I'll just be honest and admit that the I don't know what you are saying here:
'You should be able to add the "weblogic.jar" in the WebLogic distribution to your classpath.' - What doe this mean?
1. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath / Libraries - Select Add external JARS and navigate to the weblogic.jar
2. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath / Libraries - Select Add Library and try to go from there?
3. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath / Libraries - Select Add Variable and try to go from there?
4. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath and do something else?
5. Something else?
Also, I don't know what you mean here:
'You don't need to (and you shouldn't) copy that jar file, just have it in your compilation classpath. It will be present automatically at runtime.'
Sorry for being so simple here but I've been trouble shooting why I can't follow what look like pretty simple steps to implement over-riding the ApplicationLifecycleListener Class to use existing java.util.logging.Logger code by adding the following to the the weblogic-application.xml:
<wls:listener>
<wls:listener-class>com.qualcomm.weblogic.log.listener.UtilLogWrapper</wls:listener-class>
</wls:listener>
And including as a referenced jar file, a simple POJO class instance of com.qualcomm.weblogic.log.listener.UtilLogWrapper.
My resrouces for this are:
1. http://blogs.sun.com/fkieviet/entry/using_java.util.logging_in_bea_weblogic.
2. http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/drolet-ant.html.
Maybe my weblogic.jar is at the root of the problem.
I hope you can 'dumb this down' for me with a simple explanation of steps to do what you outlined above.

Hoa can I import dns information from another platform

I am having issues with dns at my college. Currently using a SUSE- OES dns server and a netware based dns server , I would like to have my Mac take over the role but would like to import the necessary data rather than have to manually transfer it.

What particular are the issues you are having with DNS?
DNS issues at sufficiently large organizations are usually very visible, or they're involving DNS-based web site or web content or malware filtering. The former usually gets the attention of IT, and the latter configuration is usually directly related to organizational policies.
If you are part of the IT organization (your status is not clear from your posting), then a zone transfer would work, or you can often export the settings from the DNS servers as part of the migration. Picking up the files and transferring their contents using a text editor, most typically. If the cited servers are running a version of BIND that's not from antiquity, then the transfers of the contents of the zone files are usually pretty simple.
(Given the comparatively unique way that Mac OS X Server organizes its zone files and assuming you want to use Server Admin to administer these zone files going forward, you won't be transferring the files directly, you'll be doing a big cut-and-paste of the entries from a copy of the existing zone files into the zone files created on Mac OS X Server. Setting up as a secondary and then promoting to a primary typically avoids this.)
If you are not associated with the IT organization, then you might be able to perform a zone transfer, but the easiest approach is usually to set up your own local DNS configuration with your own (preferably registered) domain name. Policy filtering can have several technical and organizational layers; confirm that this sequence is permitted within your organization, as the IT and security staff can sometimes take a dim view of what they might consider a rogue DNS server.

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.
Limnos wrote:
You say, "This works fine," but "this" is vague. Do you mean Home Sharing from your wife's Mac to yours? If so, then yes it will work because they are both capable of Home Sharing.
Yes, "this" meant importing tracks from the Library on my wife's MBP

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).
