Getting random files into vPod with a Mac

I know...I know...There are numerous other forums with the same type question. However, I have read so many other forums with this question that my eyes are bleeding. Nothing seem definitive enough. I have a mac mini, and want to transfer random .avi, .mov, .mpeg, etc. onto my vPod. I have tried them all, with 42 DVD Xplus working the easiest, but quality was super poor. Other programs cost money, and before I buy one, want to see which one is best and relatively easy for my task. (I have a solution for DVD to vPod). Any advice out there that doesn't involve writing a program!?! Thanks.

You could try Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba. It can record any sound from any application and create a file which can then be imported into iTunes. Find it here: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/

Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
Thanks

If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview. Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar. Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
Cheers

How can I get avi files to work with imovie08?

Hi I bought a macbook last year and have loved creating imovie videos by simply using the video function on my digital camera. My daughter was born last year and we have a great collection of clips of her first 7 months. I'd now like to take things a step further and put together a wedding video.
We had our wedding day filmed on a digital camcorder by a friend and he has given my 25MB of avi files which I would like to import into imovie and make into a video however I understand that this format isn't compatible. Is there a way of getting it to work and if so please can you tell me in very simple terms what I need to do to get the files to work with imovie? (I'm not very technical)
Thanks
Matt

I do not know of a way to import .avi files directly into iMovie, and I am positive that this is not actually possible as iMovie only supports the importation of .mov, .mp4 (mpeg4) and .dv filetypes.
What you could do is use a video converter (there are some good ones that are availible free, eg MPEG Streamclip (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html)) to convert those avi movie files to either of the 3 video formats iMovie supports, then import them.
MPEG Streamclip does sound a little complicated for you but it is the best I have found, any more questions just post them here.

How do I get mp3 files to appear with album cover thumbnails?

how do I get mp3 files to appear with album cover thumbnails? when I updated my ITunes now all my mp3 files
that had thumbs have no thumbs...thanks

First, you have to embbed picture into mp3 file with idtag editors (tagalicious, musicbrainz picard, mp3tag, id3tag editor...).
Then you'll have to install at least Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if you're not using Itunes at all.
Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

Hi aho,
You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
What can I do with Reader?
Let me know if you have further questions!

How do I get my file into the time line in Premiere Pro CC?

How do I get my file into the time line in Premiere Pro CC? I am use to Premier Pro CS6 and unfortunately my labtop took a crash and I lost all of my adobe products. I wanted to check out a trial version and I cannot seem to find one for CS6! Please Help Me! My project is due tonight!!!!!

Hi Aneumann,
Welcome to the Forums.
You have to just right click on the clip imported, in the project panel and select new sequence from clip. You can also go to file menu>new>sequence and create a sequence and then drag the clips after importing them , into the timeline.

Can't get past the blue screen with "starting Mac OS X"

I am having problems with starting my iMac. It gets to the blue screen with "starting Mac OS X" but won't go beyond that point. I was able to get the disc drive open with the help of other posts, holding down the mouse while turning on the computer, but the drive won't stay closed with the install disc in it. I have even tried holding down the "c" key while restarting the computer and it wouldn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So much info that I could really use. Also, please keep in mind that I am not too computer savy. Simple language please.
Thanks

If the steps I provided in my earlier post are not helping, then I see your options at this point as follows:
1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
2. Performing an Archive and Install. For important tips on this, see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the specified order.
3. Take the computer in for service. If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, I'd recommend taking it there. You may wish to call ahead to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
Good luck!

Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

Hi All,
Oracle 9i
I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.
Umesh Goel

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.

Access denied. When trying to upload files into SharePoint with PowerShell

AM trying to upload a bunch of files into SharePoint using PowerShell. I have a code that works on my local machine, but when I get on the server, it does not. Here is what my block of code looks like
$webUrl = "http://SampleSite"
$libraryName = "My Lib"
$docLibraryUrlName = "My%20ContentType"
$fileLocation = "C:\test\"
$contentType = "My ContentType"
#Open web and library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$libraryName]
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $fileLocation)).GetFiles()
ForEach($file in $files)
#Open file
$fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()
# Gather the file name
$FileName = $File.Name
#remove file extension
$NewName = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($FileName)
#split the file name by the "-" character
$FileNameArray = $NewName.split("_")
#Add file
#$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibraryUrlName)
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary)
write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..."
$spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $File.Name, $fileStream, $true)
$spItem = $spFile.Item
#populate metadata
$spItem["First Column"] = $FileNameArray[0]
$spItem["Second Column"] = $FileNameArray[1]
$spItem.Update()
$fileStream.Close();
Again, this code works fine on my local machine but doesn't when I move this to the server. When I step through the code, I noticed that when I look at the data returned for my $folder variable in this snippet
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary)
It shows the EffectiveRawPermissions to be "Open, BrowseUserInfo, UserClientIntegration" on the server...however, the EffectiveRawPermissions on my local machine is "FullMask". Does this have any effect on the ability of my code to be
able to upload the files into SP on the server? I have never run into this issue, so am not sure how this makes sense...so I really appreciate any insight. Thanks
I am getting this error when the code attempts to perform the "Add" function...

RunWithElevatedPriv basically impersonates the webapp's app pool account, which should have full control over the entire webapp... this would work, but is not recommended for several reasons:
- first and foremost, you shouldn't NEED to bypass the SP security model
- second and still important, the app pool may be hosting other webapps as well, so the risk of a bug causing security-related problems within the RunWithElev codeblock is no longer scoped to the current webapp, but also other webapps that share the same
app pool account.
- third, same as number two, but for service accounts, and possibly even the farm... not a good practice, but a lot of SP installs aren't configured correctly, so the entire farm may be using one account... now, the RunWithElev is not just a webapp admin,
not just a multiple webapp admin, but may be able to affect service apps, or possibly the entire farm.
- fourth, the audit info (created by, modified by) will reference the system account, instead of your account... not a very accurate audit trail in that case.
If you have a legit need to add the files, you should be able to get the necessary permissions (which is basically just contribute within the library / folder) easily enough.

How do you get copied files into a folder of our choice?

OK so this may sound like a very basic question, but it has been driving me nuts ever since I bought an Apple Mac some 3 years ago and I find it hard to believe there isnt a solution.
Objective: to copy or import files into a folder previously created by me within Apples 'Pictures' folder. E.g. "Holiday 2012".
Problem: on every program I have used, inc iPhoto, iMovie, and just now, Preview, when I get ready to copy or import say my photo files from my iphone, or an SD card or a network drive, it never gives me the option to navigate to my folder! How mad is this?! Instead I get teh choice of just Apples plain old Documents or Pictures folders but NEVER get given any opportunity via the dialog box to navigate to my "Holiday 2012" folder. There just is not any obvious way to do it. So instead I get my hundreds of pictures listed directly under Pictures folder, to therefore added to all the other hundreds of pictures listed there. A terrible way to kep pictures.
What I need: someone to tell me how to do this or if its not possible then to tell me that. It is a basic operation that I have been able to do on Windows PC's since they were built. Wht not on Mac? Maybe the solution is right in front of me... if it is then its not intuitive, thats all I can say!
Can you help please?

Hi. Ok.
I have just tried the process again in Preview and in desperation this time clicked on 'Other' in the dialogue box when trying to Import. Low and behold I found the way to navigate to my own folders instead of being forced to use Apples standard Folders called Documents and Pictures.
So problem solved.
Its daft that you cant click on the first folder names listed like you can in Windows so you can then reveal the subfolders. I guess its just another Apple-ism. Too bad it took me three years to find it but then I suppose I gave up early.

How to load hierarchy from file into InfoObject with compounding Attr & LN

.wma files into my itunes on mac

I had a friend give a lot of music via external HD. Problem is, they are all .wma files. Any way I can import those into my mac itunes with a free application?

Stop being so presumptuous and give the guy a break, why don't you?
You'll need to convert the files first using an app such as: Switch
If your friend uses iTunes on a PC he can convert the wma files into mp3's for you, sadly the Mac version of iTunes doesn't allow this.
