Compress files: NEED HELP

does anyone know how to compress mp4/mp3 files without compromising the sound quality too much? As soon as I go to 64kps it sounds rubbish.

Compressor the app. will turn out a fair Mp4: New default setting>Mp4 at a nice total 72kbs[64kbs bit]. Both media most often occur in 128kbs, why do you need less? It's going to be hard to get anything to sound good at 64. So what program are you using to encode, it should be able to compress the Mp3s by itself, but try Compressor first then your encoder app.

The advice you've received previously seems pretty solid, so let's troubleshoot the problem.

Let's concentrate on this portion of text only.
Gray screen: usually means non-woriking or uninstalled HD
Won't repair: makes perfect sense, since you no longer have access to HD
Advised to copy HD and Leopard installation to a new drive, then erase the HD and reinstall: This is the most important text. It seems you don't use a backup drive. And since your HD is damaged/not working, you need to do the following: (1) remove the faulty drive, (2) install the new drive, (3) when you turn on your MBP, you may need to erase the newly installed HD, and this is where you have the problems. Describe, in detail, what's happening on your MBP screen. Is it still gray? What message are you getting? Where is it asking you for a password, and when?
I'm intereste: since your MBP drive is dead, how are you accessing this forum?

Merging Files --- Need Help

Greetings,
I am pretty new at this program, and I am trying to understand how to do my homework assignment. So I do not need the full code, just some help on how to get started.
I am trying to write a program that merges all files together whose names match a certain pattern, and writes the result to an output file. The input-file pattern will consist of a combination of "normal" filename characters and question marks (?). A question mark in the input-file pattern denotes a single-character "wild card". Thus, the pattern ab?c?.txt would denote all file names that consist of 9 characters such that:
the first two characters are ab
the fourth character is c
the last four characters are .txt
For example, this would include filenames such as abxc7.txt and abqcc.txt.
So if there are files in a folder, for example, called abc.txt, adc.txt, cat.txt, and the contents of each has two similar lines of "This is File ZZZ" Where ZZZ represents the name of the file. Then running the program with the pattern a??.txt and the output file finished.txt will result in the file finished.txt having the contents
This is file abc.txt.
This is file abc.txt.
This is file abd.txt.
This is file abd.txt.
I don't really know where to begin here. Could you help me out? Thanks

Horrible sync with my Music / iTunes Files - Need help!

Hi,
iam very frustrated about options forsyncing media files:
BB Link is not working right or it so **bleep** slow, that 40GB needs 2 days to sync!!!! 2 days????
After syncing 1 album that was bought in iTunes - i missed some files on my phone, so album is not complete.
Why is BB Z10 not playing DRM files ?
Then i tried next way:
Plugged with my Mac and drag and drop directly Music Album to SDCard. After fast transfer, on my Z10 - Music PLaylist is completely destroyed. That means: Music files are not in row and mixed inside.
Also if you transfer next Album into separate folder, it will not divided on Z10 and all transfered Albums mixed into 1 Playlist! Why?
Iam not able at this moment to transfer 45GB of my bought music to Z10.
That is very frustrating device.
For me: No go Blackberry!
Solution?
btw.: I buyed software to remove DRM - but that cannot be the only solution. Iam sitting weeks for transfering/checking files to my Z10.
Iam shortly to sell it on Ebay.
Blackberry: user dont want to be frustrated by their device, it must work. WORK.
Alex

Regarding DRM in iTunes, Apple will only let you sync music purchased in their store with DRM protection to iOS devices. A free way to remove the protection is to burn the music to cd and them reimport it to iTunes. As to your other issues, I''m afraid I can't help.

Unix Executable files - need help to open

Hi folks, sorry i have been looking through previous discussions re these type of files but its all well and truley above me. I have been given a video file and when copied to 'finder' it showed it was a unix executable file and it opened Terminal, again made no sense to me. I was informed to download MPEG Streamclip with no luck and the jargon I have read is goobledegook to me, sorry. Can anyone help pls in simple terms????

One thing you could try is to drop one of the files on to the vlc video player. If the file is truely a video file then odds are vlc will figure that out and be able to play it. It also has a menu to tell you info about the file so you could figure out what kind of file it actually is.
In the case of windows .wmv files you should add Flip4Mac. That would allow you to play those with QuickTime.
Similarly add Perian to add more power to QuickTime so that it too could possibly handle those files like vlc.

Photoshop CS5 is suddenly crashing anytime I try to open a file - need help!

My Macbook was running quite slow this morning (hadn't restarted in a number of days) so I quit all applications and restarted. When I opened Photoshop, then selected the file I was last working on to open, PS crashed immediately (didn't get to open the file). I submitted a report, then restarted PS and tried again with anther file (thinking maybe I had a corrupt file)... same result. I can't get it to open ANYTHING without crashing...
Not sure if any of the crash report is helpful, but here's the first 1/4 or so:
I'm running Mac OS 10.7.5

Disk Full problem, likely related to extraneous printing files - need help!

I won't go into all the details, but have noticed that over the past couple of months, I've been losing space from my internal 500gb drive at surprising clips. After hard disk full warnings recently, eliminated about 50gb by dumping to dvds. Surprisingly, then again this weekend, hard disk full warnings.
Using 10.3.9 to search for files over a certain size, e.g., 100MB, I was still baffled at why my disk was full, as there weren't enough large files to justify filling up the 500gb (couldn't figure out how to do a search by folder size that gave meaningful results). Decided to do a backup to my 500 gb external HD using SilverKeeper v1.1.3, and noticed that there are thousands or tens of thousands of files in the path HD/Previous Systems/var/tmp/xxxxxxxxxxx. not sure of the number of digits but many have numbers like 490ca.....or 490d03f......(since I've been looking, it looks like all start with the 490..., but vary after that, although might not be watching closely enough). After about 50gb of new data was copied, I aborted the copy operation.
Other observations: oddly enough appears the vast majority (at least the ones I was looking at being copied) are at the same size of 2.322 MB or 184KB. Also, took me awhile to figure out, but these are hidden files. When I search using the finder for invisible files with the name "490" I get results of over 17000 files (less than number of files copied using SilverKeeper) and the file sizes are 2.2MB or 184KB (maybe these are the same due to rounding). These are identified in the path HD/private/var/tmp/490xxxxx..... these appear to be different than what I observed during the HD copying (again, I wasn't looking the whole time). Almost all of these 17k+ files were written during 8 hours on Nov. 1, 2008 - looks like dozens per minute, and when I select all, get info, amount to over 20.44 GB, so maybe still not all the files I saw in my aborted copy operation. All of these files appear to be of the "Document" kind. at the end of this post are excerpts from some of the files. Appear to be related to pdf printing.
I cant' tell where all these files are, what they are, or how they got there. I've reviewed a bunch of the articles on discussion boards, and can't find any direct solutions (at least that would appear to help with this situation). Of course I simply want to delete these apparently duplicative and meaningless files. Any help appreciated!

Hi Peter,
Why these temporary files are being created I don't know, but there is some malfunction in your printing system (software side).
Have you tried simply trashing those files from the Finder, or do you think there are too many of them to do it manually?
_Manual method:_
Open Finder > Go > Go to folder, and type in
/var/tmp
Then you can select them in groups and drag them to the trash.
You will be asked for your Admin password each time you move some to the trash.
Every so often empty your trash, to regain the space.
Another method is to use the Terminal Application, but some people are a bit wary of that application. Ask for directions if you are willing to try that.
Having removed those files, monitor your printing, or save as .pdf actions, and check again that folder in Finder to try and locate which action or process is responsible for creating those runaway temporary files there, because they are likely to be created again.

I can't get my print widget to display certificate in PDF file, need help.

I can get my certificate to display with all the variables on the slide, inserted my print widget which asks for a location to save the pdf file. I save it, open it and its blank.
Any suggestions?

Centering an entire page's worth of content is pretty simple, but not as simple as adding align:center to the css of every element.
You likely need to remove a bunch of stuff from your css if that's what you were trying. Seeing the page is going to be the best way to tell you how to fix it.
Many people will use a container like <div id="wrapper"> to center their page, so that's what I'll use in the example. Here is the css that would go in your page's <style> tags, or in your external .css file...
#wrapper {
     width:950px;
     margin:0 auto;
Then in the html...
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
     all of your page's content
</div>
</body>
What this does is creates a 950 pixel wide wrapper around all of your content (the pixel amount isn't as important as the fact that there is a width that is less than 100%). The browser then sets the left and right margin to the same setting using all of the available horizontal space by setting the left and right margins to auto. Basically, if the browser viewport is wider than the wrapper div (anything more than 950 pixels in this example), the left and right margin will split that remaining amount between themselves and center your content.

Error downloading video (corrupted file) need help

I began to download the new quicksilver snowboarding film "That's it That's All" and when i was about halfway through the download i got an error message pop up saying that the file was corrupted and to choose the "check for available downloads" under the "store" tab to fix it. but after doing this numerous times i still am not able to download the video fully and its stuck about halfway. does anyone know how to fix this?
(by the way, the error report code is 8008 if anyone cares.)

Hello
I repeat my offer.
Not only because I wish to try to help you but because I wish to be able to understand what is the source of the oddity.
I'm afraid because I found on these forums some messages about corrupted files.
As my brain is not so large than Apple's offices, I join together these reports and the description of some encountered oddities of iWork products used under Mac OS X 10.5.
At this time I don't know which is the wrongdoer but it's clear that the relations between the apps and the OS are not perfectly correct.

Writing to XML files need help

Guys,
I need to pull out data from the database and write it to multiple flat files in XML.
I can't do it on the database server using utl_file, I need to do it on the client.
Can you tell me the best way to achieve it.
I am giving you a sample plsql that we have built.
I have to create one file for each deptno.
Your values suggestions/inputs would be appreciated.
Dhiren
declare
queryCtx dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
cursor c1 is select * from dept;
result clob;
begin
for c1rec in c1
loop
queryCtx := DBMS_XMLquery.newContext('select .... from emp where deptno = c1.deptno');
result := DBMS_XMLquery.getXML(queryctx);
DBMS_XMLquery.closecontext(queryctx);
end loop;
end;

use the above pl/sql to generate xml.
next step would be to create a folder on the xmldb repository.
this has to be done with SYS user.
DECLARE
l_success      BOOLEAN := FALSE;
l_resourceURL resource_view.any_path%TYPE := '/public/scott';
BEGIN
IF (NOT DBMS_XDB.EXISTSRESOURCE(l_resourceURL)) THEN
     l_success := DBMS_XDB.CREATEFOLDER(l_resourceURL);
     COMMIT;
END IF;
END;
/so now you have your folder as /public/scott under which you can create resources.
resources in XMLDB is nothing but files.
so the generated xml can be saved as xml file under the above path.
to create a resource, you need xmldata and the resource name.
eg.
dbms_xdb.createresource('/public/scott/myxml.xml', l_xml_data);
commit;
now you can ftp the resource to the client,
open <server name> 2100
user scott tiger
get /public/scott/myxml.xml c:\temp\myxml.xml
close
bye
that's it.
good luck.
check the port of the ftp . normally by default it is 2100 unless it is changed by your admin,

Localize app. using Bundle.properties files, need help

Hi! I used tutorial to internationalize my app.:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/jsfinter/index.html
I use Jdeveloper 11g. Have 2 files: LocalizeKokaugi.properties and LocalizeKokaugi_en.properties. My app is internationalized, but when I need to change language then I need use IE or FireFox settings to set language. I have two questions:
1. What I need to do to change language using my created buttons? Can You give step by step to this?
2. Can I set VO -> Attributes -> Control Hints -> Labet Text to #{sampleBundle.myTitle}. I tried this, but then the label value don't comes from my bundle. Where is problem and what to do?
Waiting response from You!

Hello,
Is below method enough to change the locale for Application Module also? I am trying to change the locale using the below code. Messages from UI project changes as expected but Entity labels and error messages from Application Module are still in old locale.
private void switchToLocale(Locale locale)
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIViewRoot root = context.getViewRoot();
root.setLocale(locale);
It should... However I must admit that I rarely push the Locale on the model layer, it does not belongs there, even if ADF encourage that pattern, I highly dislike it and do everything in my power to not have it used in my project. Presentation language is, well, a presentation concern, so should be handled in the presentation layer, not the business one. When the model must send an information, it should be using a code and parameters that then get translated by the view.

Sending .pdf files -- Need Help.

Whenever I try to send a .pdf file, it includes the entire file in the body of my email. I want to send it as an attachment. Most people that I send these emails to have a hard time reading the file.
I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help.

It is being sent as an attachment.
The Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off and is not the same as being embedded.
You can control-click on such an attachment in the message body and at select View as Icon but this does not change anything in regards to the attachment.
Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed which the sender has no control over.
That being said, there are a few things you should not do with a single page PDF attachment.
Do not use the Image Size adjustment available at the bottom right of the message window which is intended and should only be used with a picture/image attachment.
Be sure the file extension is used with the attached file which applies to any attachment.
When sending attachments to Windows user, be sure to select Send Windows Friendly Attachments - which I have on by default regardless of sending attachments to Windows or Mac users.
Are you using RTF for message composition and including a Signature?

Disappearing files, need help! ASAP

Hello everyone,
Im a new user here but not new to mac. I've come up with a problem that I can't solve on my own, and I hope that someone here can shed some light or point me to a proper solution in time.
It's happened to me twice already, this one being the 2nd, luckily the first had a backup, but not this time around. Currently Im working on a short film for a film contest due on the 30th. I had my Imac running premiere pro CS6, it was on for the day. When I came back to it, I noticed one of my sequences with videos were gone. I shot with 2 cameras and the main camera files went missing. Folder is still there in the HDD and the metadata files linking the files to premiere are there, but the actual videos are gone.
There were 2 folders made for each camera for that day. The 2nd camera folders remained intact. Nothing except cfa and pek files were in the main folder.
These are the things I did:
- unhid all files via terminal. nothing.
- checked trash. nothing
- searched name via spotlight. nothing.
- scan with iskysoft data recovery. found files but after recovering they ended up being another video from another folder. weird.
- used disk utility on external hdd, verified disk, no errors.
- used disk utility, repaired disk anyway
- I used parallels and searched with windows to see if it was a finder error. Nothing
- currently deep scanning the hdd using Ontrack Easyrecovery and Disk Drill
Here are a couple things. I have the same file name for a few a videos, since they're numbered like 00008.mts, but they're in completely different folders on the same hard drive. Could this be a problem? If so, I've never had a problem like this before. This has happened before in a similar situation.
If you know what this problem is or have a helpful solution, let me know please! Im desperate.
Thank you in advance,
Bryan

As you can see. Only the video files went missing.
