Filename doesn't get changed when importing (sometimes)

I have the following Problem:
When I import a directory of mp3 files (an album), then some filenames (1-2) don't get changed (there are correct id3 tags). Lets say I have the first song called first song, the original filename is first_song.mp3. After importing the song is in the correct directory but not changed. It should be something like: 01 first song.mp3. When I edid the id3 tag to lets say first songe the file gets changed.
What could be the problem? Itunes bug?

Frame Rate change when importing video into FCP 5

I am importing an HD h264 file into FCP 5. The video when opened in QT shows that it's frame rate is 30fps, what I exported it at. When I Import the file into FCP 5 it changes the frame rate to 29.97fps, which is causing major video/audio syncing issues. Any thoughts on how to stop the frame rate change when importing? I tried changing my system settings and audio/video settings before the import to match the file and it is still picking it up at 29.97, major headache especially since I'm cutting industrial.

yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

Original video file date changes when imported

When I import video files, the date of the original source file gets changed to the date of my importing it.
Premiere Pro CS4 never did that. Why is CS5.5 changing the date of the source file ??
steve

Hi Todd, --
I think you are saying my 'write xmp id to files on import' must be turned ON somehow. I did not do that, so if it is turned ON, it must be ON by default ?
It was both 'date created' AND 'date modified' that were being changed to the date of import.
Ok, I found that. It is turned ON by default, I turned it OFF. I also turned OFF the next one too - 'enable clip and xmp metadata linking'.
I just did a test import, and the 'date modified' of the video files on the hard drive has not changed. Thank you. VERY MUCH.
But, I have other problems too, with PP, and video file dates.
There's a 'date created' and a 'date modified' for video files. Plus, with Windows 7, there's a few more dates - 'date of content' etc.
My original untouched video file dates do not make any sense. 'Date Modified' is showing the date the video files were recorded. 'Date Created' is showing the date I copied the video files from the camera stick to the hard drive.
That makes no sense. They should be the reverse.
Why why why after 30 some odd years have the computer engineers NEVER made video files dates the same as digital photo files, with 'Date Taken'.
Also,
I have multiple cameras. For each event or trip or whatever I often take several 1,000 photos and videos. It's an absolute necessity to be able to mass import chronologically. The only way I can integrate / import them all in chronological order is by Date originally Taken, and then immediately drag all the files to the timeline while they are still all collectively highlighted in the order I just imported them all by date.
PP only allows for imports by 'date taken' for photos and 'date modified' for video files. And, if I don't immediately drag the imported files to the timeline while they are all still highlighted without doing anything else first, the bin window re-arranges them all by filename, and there is no way to later re-arrange them by dates.
This is extremely aggravating and impossible to work with for my need to import then later work with multiple-source recorded files chronologically.
All these 'date' problems for video files really totally screws that.

PDF color changing when imported into InDesign 6

I am importing a customers pdf into InDesign 6. When I do the import the color is changing from the original PDF colors. The original color in the pdf is 0/95/100/29 and when imported to InDesign 6 it becomes 21/98/100/12. Is there a setting I need in InDesign 6 to keep the original PDF colors intact?

Are you using the eye dropper tool to get those numbers? It could be the way the original PDF was created. I have a feeling that the original settings ere set to "adapt" to color workflows or something similar. See if you can open the PDF in Acrobat and set the file to "Leave Color Unchanged" if you can...somewhere in the file's profile or color setting. It could also be the preview in InDesign. If somehow there is a way to find out which color settings were applied to the PDF; you could then match those in InDesign's Color Settings. If it is the preview reading, then the file should proof well. If InDesign has corrupted the PDF's original color, then the file will proof bad. I think it prudent to investigate the PDF's original Color Settings vs. InDesign's. Try posting this question in the InDesign forum and see what you get back. I'd be curious to know what they have to say over there.

Look of photos change when import from D40 into iPhoto 6

I'm using iPhoto 6 and have a Nikon D40. I'm having a problem when I import my photos -- the image quality changes when they go from the camera into iPhoto. The images look more contrast-y, more saturated. I mean, the reds and oranges are so intense it's crazy. They definitely did not look like that when I viewed them in the camera LCD.
I've tried checking in preferences, but can't seem to find anything that would alter the images during transfer. Would this be a camera problem? Anyone using iPhoto 6 have the same problem as I am with their D40?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I am having the same exact problem... iPhoto 6 and Nikon D40. If I import the photos to a folder first, then import from the folder to iPhoto, I can open the iPhoto version and then open the folder version using Preview, just by clicking on the original. I then compare the two side-by-side on the computer screen. The original always looks fine in Preview, so it is clearly a problem with iPhoto over-saturating the photos. I have no solution, but only this observation.

Password file gets changed when an account is locked/unlocked in 9i !!

Hello All,
I observed that in 9i (9.2.0.8 and 9.2.0.6 on Solaris 9), the timestamp of the orapw<SID> file changes when a non-sys account is LOCKED/UNLOCKED. There is no change in the size of the file, but timestamp alone gets changed to the time the account is locked/unlocked.
orapwd<sid> stores the password for administrative accounts, what has it got to do with non-sys accounts( an account with just create session privs ) ?
Is it the expected behaviour ?
TIA,
John

Hi,
You can create a user defined metric which will query the table "dba_users" and check for "account_status" and will alert you whenvr usr is locked.
You can find the link for creating "user defined metric" at "Related Links" section at the bottom of database homepage in OEM.
Hope this helps...

And created delivery document and billing document for newly created Salesorder.
When i have open the Sales order in VA02, then i am getting changed Condition value for conidition type ZK01 in bothe header and first line item and in VA03 there is no change in value.
Kindly let me know the user exit or any related programs to this issue.Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rajani,
this sound like VOFM -> conditions. Do you know which conditions are active during the determination?

Lightroom getting stuck when importing files...

Hi all,
I'm having problems with my lightroom cc when importing files from my desktop.
First, the lightroom is not generating thumbnails from those files, than, when I try to import them, the software stops responding and get stuck as "importing files".
Check the images of my screen attached. I don't know what to do anymore.
Anyone?!!?

Aspect ratio changes when importing to FCE 4.0.1

I'm hoping someone with a better understanding of FCE will be able to help...
I have footage shot in 1920x1080 (16:9) format. I have the sequence set to any of the available 1920x1080 (16:9) formats via Easy Setup. Create a new Sequence with the correct settings. However when importing the footage into FCE it converts to a 1440x1080 (4:3) aspect ratio... This I understand is the anamorphic format of 4:3. What am I supposed to do so that when importing, the original format is not altered.

I do know what 4:3 is and what 16:9 is. First, understand that there is no HD format, none, that is 4:3. They are all widescreen. 1440 is a way of compressing the media to use a limited data rate more efficiently by applying it to a smaller frame size while maintaining the standard display size. The material is displayed at full widescreen. If you have 1440 material in FCE you have probably noticed that the canvas is not 4:3. The canvas is widescreen. That's the display size.
Actually HDV's native format is not 1920. The native format agreed by the HDV consortium is 1440x1080 for 1080i material. That's the compression size. The display size is 1920. HDV is normally shot and compressed to 1440x1080 in camera. That's the native size of the frame.
The HV20 is an HDV camera. The CX12 is not. It's an AVCHD camera. That's a different format. They are not the same, and they compress media in entirely different ways. HDV is an older format that compresses to MPEG-2. AVCHD uses H.264 in MPEG-4. Neither of them are production formats. They are both compression formats that were designed for delivery, compressing group of frames. In their original format they are almost impossible to edit, which is why FCE and other applications convert the media to a production format that uses individual frame compression so you can edit exact frames. HDV is either 1280x720 or 1440x1080 (displayed as 1920). AVCHD is either 1440x1080 or 1920x1080, both displayed as 1920x1080. You can also have 1280x720 AVCHD, though I don't know any camera that actually shoots that excellent format.
"The footage resides on my computer." Perhaps you'd bother telling us how you got it into your computer. What application did you use? Every application will handle the ingest of this media in a different way, consequently it may not work properly with this application. I assumed you used the application this forum is about to bring this material into your computer. Did you, or did you ingest it with something else? How did you get it into the computer for you to import in FCE? Once again the correct size for this material is very likely 1440x1080. That's the native size for HDV sequences that are 1080. In 4.0.1 you can have sequences that are 1920x1080. These are designed to accommodate that AVCHD material shot at 1920x1080. Not all AVCHD material is in that size, and frankly there is no real advantage to it, and probably some disadvantages as the same data rate has to be used for a largely frame size.
All this said, I'm not sure what you're hoping and waiting for.

Scale changes when importing DXF to Ai

Hi,
When importing DXF to Ai (V15.1), the scale/size of the object (a gear) is all wrong....
Is there a way to keep the actual size of the drawing to be identical to the one in the DXF file?
Thank you in advance.

In AI, you can change the units in preferences to cm or mm. You create the DXF file in cm or mm units in CAD, and when you OPEN the DXF in AI, you can choose the scale = 1 , units = 1 millimeters or centimeters. Older versions of AI had scaling problems with DXF that were never resolved, but I think AI 5.1 has resolved that issue.
Are you having a scaling issue that is unrelated to inches verses mm or cm ?

MobileMe doesn't get changes from iPad

My iPhone, mac, and web mobile me are all in sync. I have recently added an iPad to the mix. Unfortunately when I create a contact on the iPad, it doesn't get pushed to the cloud. My theory is that if I create a contact offline, it doesn't go into a queue to be uploaded when I'm online. Is there a way around this? I can't think of any more options to troubleshoot-- vie turned everything on and off everywhere and done test, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Else, let me know whether your browser is getting launched with page not found or the browser itself is not getting launched.

Dates get randomly changed when importing folders into Aperture

I am in the process of migrating my iPhoto pictures over to Aperture. Because I have close to 100k pictures and short clips, I can not import my entire 500 GB library at once because I don't have enough hard drive space to support both iPhoto and Aperture libraries at the same time. I also thought it might make sense to not have one gigantic library. Also I would like to have my old photos separated by years, and I don't know if Aperture would do this if I imported the entire iPhoto library (which does only separate them by events) at once. So it appears to me that the only import method that would work (please correct me if this is wrong) would be to open the "Masters" directory of iPhoto in the Finder, and drag and drop each year's directory into the "Projects/Library" panel in Aperture. Note that I do not want any editing information preserved from iPhoto, so using the Masters seems to be the most space efficient thing. So far so good but there appear to be at least two big snags. Firstly the yellow projects folders within each blue years folder in Aperture are not in chronological but in alphabetical order and I can't find out how to fix this. Secondly (and much more problematically) the dates on many old photos have been altered in an apparent random manner during the import into Aperture! Therefore they do appear in the wrong locations in my events library, according to the altered date. There are many too many photos that have been changed to undo this manually (I estimate it would take several weeks to do this).
But how and why could this have happened in the first place?
I also noticed that even when I change the dates of the Aperture masters to the true ones (by comparing to the masters in iPhoto), they still remain in the same wrong location in my Projects/Events library, according to the date originally (and falsely) assigned by Aperture.
There surely has to be a way to import photos into Aperture without ruining their date stamp?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi iScientist,
If I understand you correctly I should not import iPhoto Masters directly, because they have been altered to be in some kind of internal organization scheme. What I'm confused about is that I thought the "Masters" in iPhoto were just untouched camera files?
Yes, I would also be confused. The more I think about it, the less I know why anything wrong. You stated that you don't care about any adjustments you made in Aperture, so why wouldn't be okay to "reach into" iPhoto's internal database and pull out the masters? Good question. The only thing I can come up with: Maybe that folder isn't really what you think it is.
Were you able look at the metadata in Preview after finding one of the problematic masters in the iPhoto library again? That might give a clue.
When you say "regular way", do you mean going to "Import -> iPhoto library"? The problem with this, it seems, is that my entire iPhoto library will be imported that way, however I would like to import it chunks, split in years and on different physical media
Yes, that is what I meant. There have been various topics in this forum concerning how to import parts of the iPhoto library. I cannot seem to find any relevant posts at the moment. Perhaps someone else has better luck searching...
In any case, you may be better off using *referenced masters* instead of multiple libraries. With multiple libraries, your photos will be disjointed by whatever scheme you devise (like years). So, when you're looking at 2011, and you want that Christmas photo from 2010, you will need to close Aperture and restart it with a new library.
With referenced masters, you choose to store a particular set of *masters only* (maybe all of them) in another location. You can put different sets of masters in different places. For instance, you can have one project on one external hard drive, and a different project on a different external drive. Your versions, metadata, previews, thumbnails, all stay in the library. In this way, you can at least view screen-sized versions of last Christmas even if your "2010" external hard drive is not connected.
Looking at manual for references to referenced may be good for you before you delve too deep into this.
What I meant by order being unchanged/the file being in the wrong location is that in the chronologically organized projects overview the projects that were imported with the wrong date, which I changed to the correct date in Metadata, still appear in the wrong location.
Ahh, that is a bug that users discovered a little while ago. It took me a while to re-find the thread, but you can read up on that here. I (among others hopefully) have provided feedback to Apple concerning that bug.
[http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12981789&#12981789]
I didn't think about that view because that view is not generally as useful as the list view in the Inspector pane. That view is new to Aperture 3 and in my opinion was built to make the transition for users of iPhoto easier.

[Solvd]XFCE mixer panel plugin doesn't get updated when volume changed

XFCE audio mixer panel plugin used to show the correct volume when I change the volume either with my Laptop touchbuttons or keyboard volume buttons.
1. To make sure if I am actually changing the volume, I opened alsamixer and tested pressing keys they work fine.
2. I even opened properties option from the indicator and set it to "Master"(the one I use) of my speaker, still no luck.
3. The only problem is the indicator doesnt update when the volume is changed or muted.
But for unknow reason this problem started last week.
Thanks for the help.

Word Doc Format/Font Changes when Imported into RoboHelp

We currently have RH7. When we went from X5 to RH7 and imported our Word docs (Word 2003), the fonts and styles changed sometimes right after importing and other times after running the Glossary Wizard. It seems like RH7 doesn't want to read Word 2003 styles. Our temporary fix is to import our Word template (that we use for procedures) into each project. Once we import a Word document, we have to change the style sheet to the point to the Word template in order to fix the font and styles. We have to import the template whenever we import procedures or run the Glossary Wizard. Has anyone had this problem? We were able to import no problem with X5, but with version 7 we have to add these extra steps. We did find that when we created a new project in RH7 (not upgraded from Version 5), that we didn't have to import the template and assign the docs to it as the style sheet. Our projects are many and large in volume, so recreating in RH7 is not an option for us. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Isn't the problem here with importing rather than with the webhelp output? I wonder if this post would be better in the RoboHelp HTML forum.
Let me know if you would like it moved.
