Having a problem importing xml into an indesign template.

I am having a problem importing xml into an indesign template. The xml data is there and will populate the columns on the document but I am having problems matching styles, removing data that should not be mapped and importing repeated same fields but differnet data.
Message me if this is something you can do quickly for a fee.

Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to populate content similar to InDesign?

Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to populate content similar to InDesign?

The only way I see this would be possible is through using JS that you can insert using the Object -> Insert HTML option, you may grab the XML to HTML code from here - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_to_html.asp
In order to test this out, simply download the sample XML file from the following location - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml and save it somewhere locally. Now add this file to your Muse project using File -> Add Files for Upload option, it would then appear within the Assets panel.
Add the code to your page and update the path referencing the file cd_catalog.xml to assets/cd_catalog.xml. Now on previewing the page in browser, you should see the populated HTML from the XML.

Can't Figure Out How To Import XML into a Table?

HELP!
I've been using InDesign for several years now... but everything Ive ever done has been basic one off layout concepts.
I am working on a website for a musical theater actress and for her resume, Id like to make a PDF which lists in table format the show, theatre and role she had for each job.
I could do this manually... but Id really like to learn how to just reuse the same XML data that I have for her website and import it into InDesign.
I have looked at Adobe's help file, I have scoured the internet, and I still can't figure it out... I have done like the adobe support file says... and I cant seem to get the values I create in her resume xml file to show up in a table I create in InDesign.
I even tried to simplify it for the learning process and did something as basic as an XML file that has 5 colors... couldnt even get that working.
So could someone explain it to me like Im a 5 year old... how to take a XML file, import it, place it in a table and have the data actually show up in the table.
thanks,
brian

Are you sure you want to use XML with tables for this? No doubt importing XML into tables is useful for some specialized tasks, such as importing formatting information inside the XML itself, but for most of the familiar tasks that XML excels at, tables are neither necessary nor useful.
In my (limited) experience, if the XML elements are well-differentiated, by which I mean different types of data have their own distinctive tags, then the special powers of XML can be exploited more fully using the more familiar tagged text, nested tags etc. in ordinary text frames using paragraph breaks, tab characters, etc. to achieve a suitably "tabular" finished appearance.
If you must import XML into tables, I recommend Adobe's own PDF "Adobe InDesign CS3 and XML: A Technical Reference" availabe here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_xmlrules.pdf
It sounds very daunting -- the words "technical reference" make me shudder -- but actually it's very readable and not very technical at all. Some nice pics and everything!

Problem importing pictures into lightroom 5.4 on a Mac.

I have lighroom 5.4 on a Mac and I am having some trouble importing pictures into my library on lightroom. The other day I was trying to import some from another folder in my computer and the files were showing up empty (although they were not). And today I was trying to import from an SD card and I was having the same problem. I shoot in raw on a Nikon. So what can I do to fix this problem?
This is what it looks like when I try to import

Ask in the LR forum and provide exact technical info - "I shot raw on Nikon" and "on a Mac" is not.

Howto import XML into Excel table ?

Hi,
I asked this before in the Excel forums but received the suggestion that I ask here instead. The question precis : How to ungrey the "Append new data to existing XML lists" checkbox so I can select it when importing XML data into an Excel
spreadsheet.
I have a local server which provides data in XML form and need to import successive reloads of the XML page into successive lines in an Excel spreadsheet. I found the Excel help page entitled "How to use XML in Excel 2003" at http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/how-to-use-xml-in-excel-2003-HA001101964.aspx?CTT=1&origin=EC001022986
which was useful in so far as permitting me to import the data using the XML Source task pane and mapping the elements I need from the XML source to columns in the spreadsheet.
In order to append successive lines from the XML source page, as I understand it from the link I quoted, I need to change the XML Map properties to "Append new data to existing XML lists". However this checkbox is greyed out in the
XML Map properties dialog box so I can't select it.
Any ideas how I can achieve my aims here ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Thank you for contacting Office IT Pro General Discussions Services.
From your description, I understand that you tried to import XML into Excel table. You selected “Use the XML Source
task pane” when opening the XML file, then you tried to check the option in the
Map Properties window: "Append new data to existing XML lists".
However, this option is grayed out. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
I have checked the issue on my side but could not reproduce this issue. I suggest download the sample XML file as suggested on the page and test the
issue again:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B4BD3283-AD0B-408D-9CE7-AB9C3537BBBB&displaylang=en
If the problem does not occur with the sample XML file, this issue might occur as there are some problems with the XML you were using.
If the problem also occurs in with the sample XML file, this issue might be related to some third-party software conflicts. I suggest checking this
issue by starting Excel in the safe mode.
Start the Office program in safe mode
==============
1.
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
2.
Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click
Microsoft Excel.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable
them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
Disable add-ins
Click
Tools > Options >
Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins,
clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and
restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Sally Tang

How to import XML into SQL Table

Dear all,
There are a lot of books about exporting data into XML format.
Actually, how to use XML Documents? Sorry I am new that I ask such a question.
What i think may be exchange or save data using xml. If so, How to import into MS SQL table? Do it need to do any mapping?
Appreciate for your hints

I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

Having problems importing CDs into itunes10

i have recently noticed that my imac is very reluctant to import CDs into itunes10 - as well as letting me burn data to CDs/DVDs.
sometimes it will let me burn a CD into itunes, but it will be very slow (used to be around x20 speed) and there will be 'clunking' sounds coming from the drive.
sometimes if it does appear to have imported a whole CD, the tracks have a length of 0:00!
is this a faulty drive, due to my imac being a fair few years old (i would hope that apple make their drives last a little longer than just a few years) - or just some kind of bug that needs fixing?
i would really appreciate if anyone could help me out - as i'm not keen on taking my imac in for repair!
mac OSX 10.6.7

Abstractman23 wrote:
ok i'll try toast. but yes, i fear it may be the drive. do think i should take the imac in for repair (probably will cost too much, and be a huge hassle) - or just buy a drive that can burn/import CDs?
many thanks!
Good question. If you do find that the drive is bad, you may want to call ahead to Apple and get an idea what a 1 for 1 replacement would cost.
External CD drives that connect via USB are relatively inexpensive, but leave you with more wires and junk on your table.

Having a problem import my library from an older version of 3

Apple replaced my computer. I did not import my old library before upgrading to aperture 3.3.1. I get a meessage when trying to import the library. "The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again." I don't see how to upgrade the library so i can import it into the new version of aperture.

Unable to import xml into my CS4 project

Hi folks,
I am trying to embed a 3rd party flash component into my current flash project. As a stand alone, the component works fine but when I try and import the xml file for the component into my current flash project library, the message I get:
" one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them"!!!
I have tried importing the xml file into another dummy cs4 project on another machine and again no success, so I believe there are elements within the xml file that will not work with cs4. Below is the xml file code. I would appreciate if anyone can spot anything wrong with this file as to why it wont import into flash. Even try and import it yourself and see what I mean.
Hope someone can help.

Hi there,
Thank you for responding. When I say component, I have purchased a flash component from a company called www.flabell.com. When you buy the component, you get the as, swf, assest, images, fla etc etc.
My goal is to embed this component into a flash project that I am working on at the moment which involves importing the assets/resources from the flabell component folder into the library of my current flash project.
My folder structure at the moment is that I have top level folder call project. In this folder is my actual flash project folder and the flabell component folder. So no the html that embeds my main swf is not in the same folder as my 3 party swf - they are in two different locations. However should this be an issue if I am importing the xml into my main project library anyway?
Hope this info shines more light.

Problems importing movies into Keynote

I have been using Keynote for a couple of years (now using Keynote 08 on a MacBook running 10.5.5). I recently started having problems importing movie files into my Keynote presentations. I usually just drag a .mov file and it plays with no problems, but lately when I do this it doesn't appear on the Keynote slide and when I play the presentation I get only audio w/ no video. I tried importing the files to quicktime and exporting them again to be sure they were in the correct format. This seemed to work a few times, but now that isn't working either. Any suggestions?

I'm having what sounds like the same problem. I have Quick Time video from a Flip Cam that I want to use in a KeyNote presentation. I added the movie successfully at first, but when I opened the file to continue work, it appeared as a black box. It has sound, but no image. I can see it ok in the navigator. I've searched the forum for answers, but haven't found anything that works yet.
Does the display setting have anything to do with this? One of the computers I work on has the display set to use with a LED projector. Thanks

Importing XML into Premiere Pro CC: "Generic Error"

First off, I've read all the threads relating to this problem from others, but I have a few questions. I'm fairly new to Adobe Premiere (used FCP 7 forever) so I'm still figuring it out, so please bear with me.
I received a hard drive from a client who told me he digitized all his files into Premiere. (A screen shot is below.) When I went to import these into APP CC, it says "The Importer reporter a generic error."
In the Video folder (another screen shot below), there are dozens of MXF files. These import fine. Video and audio are both good.
There are 37 XML files, and 37 MXF files, so it seems they correlate perfectly. Should I just disregard those XMLs? Should I be using these MXFs instead?
Again, I'm a newbie, so if anybody could shed any kind of light on this for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Actually, there's nothing wrong here. These XMLs aren't to be imported. They're just sidecar metadata files generated by the camera vendor, they don't import as assets by themselves.
What you really want to do is pull up the Media Browser panel to look at these clips & import your selects into the project, instead of using finder / import files. The Media Browser abstracts out all the junk that you don't care about & will just show you thumbnails of the clips. It'll even represent spanned clips as just one large piece of media.
