HELP: Need To Extract Itunes Files From TM Backup ...

Hi ... I have had Time Machine regularly backing up my hard drive. I just had a complete crap storm and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall OSX. My question is ...
How do I reinstall all of my iTunes media from the time machine backup (a sparsebundle file). I don't want to reinstall all of the other settings and files, just the iTunes files.
Thanks in advance

Never mind ... figured it out myself. Mounted the sparsebundle file by double-clicking it then navigated the "Latest" backup folder to the iTunes folder and dragged it to my desktop. Worked like a charm

Help: need to extract an application from oracle/apex directory

Hi, all!
I worked on oracle10xe and apex 1.3.1 and then messed with partition table a bit so got my windows crashed and I don't believe i'll be able to restore it.
so what i have is an oracle directory from the long-dead windows with apex inside, and i need to extract the applications and the data i was working with somehow.
Any thoughts?
Does anybody knows where does oracle store all its databases and where apex keeps its applications?
oraclexe\oradata\xe\ has some .dbf files in it, will it work if i just write them over in a newly installed oracle+apex?

Hello,
At this point, since you can't turn to Oracle Support (since it is XE), then I would suggest asking amongst your colleagues/friends/etc and trying to find a friendly DBA who will try and help you out for a beer or 3.
Depending on how critical your work was, I wouldn't throw away all hope of recovering your database until you've exhausted all the options.
John.

Help needed to extract a value from Textfield

Hi,
I am new to AWT prgramming .
I have created a menu called " Menu System Test window " and it contains toplevel menu item "File" and File Menu contains subitems "Product Evaluation" and "Exit".
When i click File->Product Evaluation it displays a new Frame named "ProductEvaluationMeasurementTool" with some check boxes ,radiobuttons, buttons , text fields.
After compiling the program if i check some check boxes and radiobuttons and press Button1 it displays the result as no of checkboxes checked divided by total no of checkboxes(which i have declared as 18 in my code) in textField1.
I also have textField2 for entering user input.
now my question is after compiling program i check some checkboxes , enter some value in textField2 and press Button2. The result should be diplayed as no of checkboxes checked plus the value added in textField2 divided by total no of checkboxes(which is 18 in my code) . This result should be displayed in textField3.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
i am sending my code.

Help needed to access a file from and email link.

I received an email with a link to an Adobe document. When I attempt to open the link I receive a message " You do not have accewss to the file" How do I gain access?

Then it is the case I mentioned, the author sent the URL from the address bar viewing the form in Edit mode rather than copying the Fillable Form link.
You'll need to respond to the form author and ask them to send out the correct link/URL to the fillable form (which does not ask for any login). They can go to the "Distribute" tab and on the "Web Form" sub-tab click "Copy Link", if the form is "Closed" it will ask if they want to "Open" the form, the form needs to be in the "Open" state to collect responses so say "Yes". This will copy the link to their clipboard and they can then send that link/URL out.
Also, if they close the form (by clicking the X in the upper right corner) and are looking at the "My Forms" tab in FormsCentral, with the form selected there is a "Link" button in the toolbar along the top which copies the form URL to send out.
Here are a few documents that include information on how to distribute forms: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/quickstart/distribute-web-form.html

Need to extract class files from win32 exe

I have a very old java exe which uses snjrt11.dll and snjawt11.dll files to run java classes packed in it. Is there any way to extract those classes that were packed I guess by Symantec's Cafe...

Why bother? Just distribute the 3rd-party JAR as it is. All it costs you is a little disk space. Why bother to look inside, understand which classes you do and don't need, repackage, ... repeat every 3rd-party release? repeat for every 3rd-party product?
Just ship it the way they ship it.

How to find and move iTunes file from back-up

I have a new drive in my iMac. Now I want to move my iTunes files from my backup, but I want to know how to move it to the new computer so all my equipment will get recognized by iTunes in my new computer. Thank you.

Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the computer. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Restoring itunes library from a backup

I copied my iTunes folder into a backup drive. My hard drive died, and now I want to "re-connect" my iTunes with its library. How can I do it? Simply pointing iTunes to the library location doesn't work.
I need to be able to sync my iphone, etc... Help!

When restoring Itunes library from a backup DVD, will it overwrite anything already in the library?
No.

Need to extract only file name from path.........

Hi All,
I have a parameter.This calls the function
"CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME' to get the file from C drive.
After selecting the file the path is displayed in the Parameter field.
My problem is I need to extract only file name from the path.Please advice.
Example : Prameter id    C:\folder\file.xls
I shd extract only file.xls from the path.Please advice.

Hi,
Use the below logic:
data: begin of itab,
           val    type char20,
        end of itab.
SPLIT l_f_path AT '\' INTO TABLE itab.
The last record of the internal table holds the file name.
describe table itab lines l_f_lines.
read itab index l_f_lines.
l_f_filaname = itab-val.
Hope this helps u.

Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4.
Context Summary:
1. Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible.
2. My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk.
3. Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
4. Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac? If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk?
Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
Worst Case Proposal C: I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible. (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
Or have I missed something? Is there another procedure I should use?
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello Chris,
Answer to your iTunes library question: By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files. I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
Is there any file conversion necessary?
Or inside iTunes, should I:
File->Library->Organize Library? or
File->Library->Export Library? or
File->Library->Import Playlist?
Please advise and thank you again for your help.
As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
So long for now.

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

Extracting .s2p files from 8722A Network Analyzer?

Hi,
I wish to extract .s2p files from my HP 8722A Network Analyzer.
I could not find a driver for it. It is connected to my computer over GPIB.
I am quite new to this, so if anyone could explain the overall process to extract .s2p files from a network Analyzer, that would be much appreciated.
I imagine that one takes a measurement, stores it under a certain filename, then a command retrieves it and sends it to the computer?
Thank you so much,
Nicolas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nicolas,
Instead of extracting the .s2p files, which because of the age of the device (manual I found said 1991), could be very difficult, I think we would be better served communicating with the device directly and not using the files it creates. Instead of the process you described, we could set it to take a measurement, send the measurement to the computer, and have the computer do any manipulation/saving it may need.
This manual discusses the basics of communication over GPIB with that device in chapter 12:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/08720-90135.pdf
GPIB communication is typically pretty simple. The computer will just send the device in question the command or series of commands then wait for the response back, much like the GPIB examples in labview (Example finder>>Hardware IO>>GPIB).
Unfortunately for us, the Agilent website here:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=8722A:epsgro&nid=-536900197.53690...
only has the operating and service manuals, and not the programming reference manual. You may want to contact agilent to get the programming reference manual, as that will list all of the commands you need to send the device.

No luck trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files

Hi,
I am trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files from the Toshiba website, but I'm having no luck.
I am trying to deploy images using WDS on server 2008 and need the inf files for this to succeed, does anyone have the answer to this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this tip:
Someone wrote this:
+You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+
You could also try this freeware application to extract the package:
