Help needed with file import

After happily working on a G5 for many years (iMovie 4.0) I just bought an ibook with iMovie8.
Could it be true that file import is not possible? Can't believe it...
And how can I edit my old movies?
Thanks

Activity window? I'm not sure what that is.
Here's what I'm working with: http://i.imgur.com/vDwvk.jpg
Opening an image in a new window shows the image size in pixels in the tab. (circled in the screenshot)
I can see the same info using Web Inspector. (also circled in the screenshot)
*I need a way to easily see both the image size in pixels and its size in kilobytes.*
Thanks!

Picasa to iPhoto - help needed with folders/importing

I am converting over from Picasa on windows to iPhoto on a new iMac I recently bought. And I have to say, the conversion has not been as smooth as I thought it would be. Any help will be appreciated highly
1. In Picasa, I was able to see my underlying folder structure. At the same time I was able to arrange pictures from multiple folders into albums which became the metadata container.
Question: Is there a way to easily see the folder structure of the underlying file system rather than have the iPhoto library which seems to show simply in terms of years.
2. From other posts on the discussion board it seems like I can simply drag the folder from Finder to the source section of iPhoto to somewhat mimic what I described in #1 above. If that is the only option, I have the next question, and that is -
Question: If I drag and drop a folder from Finder to the source section of iPhoto why does iPhoto not bring everything in as "Originals". I see that some of my pictures go into the corresponding "Modified" folder. It seems like there is an internal "modification" that is done at the time of import which I am unable to check on/off.
Question: Also, in the same method, I see that the picture got duplicated on the file system - once appearing in the original folder which I dragged from the Finder, and the second time showing up under Originals or Modified folders within the iPhoto library folder under Pictures.
How do I elimiate this duplication? Can I eliminate it and keep the "file system folder structure" available?
Thanks in advance!

TD,
Thanks for the excellent explanation of the application and how it differs from what I have been used to doing. Without going into too much details, I would like to say that Picasa may be a file organizer, but it does allow me a concept of "albums" which is virtual and when I choose to put the same picture in multiple albums, it does not make a new copy each time.
But I am not here to compare Picasa with iPhoto, only here to see how to do things in iPhoto the same or better way.
Rolls, on the other hand) in the iPhoto Window (View
-> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll
Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library
Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can
rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you
do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane
(wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are
editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the
Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will
also have the new name.
So, rolls are in fact "real" and not virtual concepts right? I would actually be moving the files from one roll to another underneath when I move a picture in iPhoto from one roll to another. Is that the correct understanding I have?
And, then FYI: A Note about the iPhoto Library
Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the
Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you
have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were
downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that
you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command
- very useful if you don't like the changes you've
made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app
needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Very cool. That makes sense, and I did read about this folder structure in some other posts which is very helpful to get started.
If I drag and drop a folder from Finder to the
source section of iPhoto why does iPhoto not bring
everything in as "Originals". I see that some of my
pictures go into the corresponding "Modified" folder.
It seems like there is an internal "modification"
that is done at the time of import which I am unable
to check on/off.
Your camera has an Auto Rotate feature, right? What
happens there is that your camera doesn't rotate the
pics, it simply puts a flag on them "Display Me This
Way". Part of the core philosophy of iPhoto is to
leave your original file untouched, so it creates a
modified version, showing the rotation. How to stop
it? Turn off auto-rotate or rotate the pics before
they come into iPhoto.
Excellent point. I will change that setting on the camera. Of course for all the pictures I have downloaded already, I suppose there is no way to change the rotation settings, right?
Also, in the same method, I see that the picture
got duplicated on the file system - once appearing in
the original folder which I dragged from the Finder,
and the second time showing up under Originals or
Modified folders within the iPhoto library folder
under Pictures.
How do I elimiate this duplication? Can I eliminate
it and keep the "file system folder structure"
available?
Trash your Original file structure. Let iPhoto do the
file management. Freaky, right? Well don't do it
right away, leave it until you feel confident in
iPhoto, until you feel that you can trust the
application.
The other alternative is to not copy the files into
the iPhoto Library Folder (You can change this at
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced). The down side is
that iPhoto will still create the modified and data
folders, when you delete from iPhoto you'll need to
track down the individual pic yourself to delete it
from the HD and things like migrating the library to
an external HD or a new machine can be trickier.
Ok, now that I understand the application a little better, I see that the original files and folder structure is not useful at all.
But unfortunately, I would like to keep the folder structure on my external hard drive so that if I log into windows on bootcamp, I could use Picasa to access the same set of pictures. I currently have an automator action (backup folder/sync folder) which takes all the contents of Pictures folder and replicates it to the external drive. Then when I log in from Picasa, I have set the option to only scan the external drive.
If I trash the original structure and simply sync the iPhoto Library folder, and then access it through Picasa, will there be any problems if Picasa drops some of its "database type" files (I know for sure it drops a Picasa.ini)?
If I do not move any files from one folder to another, is it ok to let Picasa access the iPhoto Library folder?
Most people who want to keep their own structure do
so because they're afraid they won't be able to find
the picture files: There are three ways (at least) to
get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto
Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a
full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the
iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue
will give you various options, including altering the
format, naming the files and changing the size.
Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a
pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'.
A Finder window will pop open with the file already
selected.
Thanks very much again for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate it.
And, as I said above, Rolls have a direct
correspondence with the iPhoto Library Folder.
And I suppose if rolls are "real" then the virtual equivalents would be things like smart folders?

Help needed with File Formats (Save As...)

Somewhere upgrading versions of Photoshop (Mac), some old File Formats have remained. The result is that I cannot properly select a File Format to Save As... except the native PSD format. Others have to be selected by selecting a format below the one on the list, meaning that I cannot select TIFF because there are no formats below this one. (Accepted formats http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7758a.h tml#WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7754a)
I've looked in the Plugins folder and there are no strange file formats there. I checked Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins but nothing there. I've tried searching the entire hard drive for Compuserve GIF (one of the offending file formats) but nothing matches.
I give up trying to figure out where some of the problem plugins are located. As you can see from the image below, selecting Multi-Picture Format actually will save it as a jpg. From reading Adobe's formats, I think CompuServe GIF is causing part of the problem. I don't know what other one.
Or it may be that I just need to reset something so all formats are properly recognized. Can anyone help?

Curt,
That is great information. Unfortunately I've already checked the preferences and do not have an additional plugin folder specified.
Suppossedly, according to the information from Adobe, the only place plugins should be loaded is in the Photoshop > Plug-Ins folder, or possibly Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins (according to the link you provided). There is nothing there.
When I look at Photoshop > About Plug-ins I see that, for example, there are two (2) versions of CompuServe GIF format. Obviously one is old from a previous install/update, but I cannot find it anywhere. If I could find it, I could remove it. I suspect that is one of the conflicts causing my problem, but I see no way in Preferences to remove a plug-in. The link you gave says to move it outside the folder, but it presupposes you can even find the offending plug-in, which I cannot.

Help Needed With File/Image Size

I need a quick way to find an images _dimensions and size in kb_ on a safari webpage without having to download the image.
What I'd really like is to be able to right click on an image and have the dimensions and size in kb displayed. Either that, or use an app to do it.
Right now I am using the Inspect Element tool in the right click menu to find an images dimensions, but it doesn't show size in kb anywhere that I can see, and it's kind of a pain working with all the drop down menus.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Activity window? I'm not sure what that is.

Help needed with File.canRead()

I'm having trouble getting File.canRead() to return true when I think it should be.
On my Solaris 8 system there should be an empty directory called:
/h/data/local/ME
In order to check if it exists, I have my program create the path to the directory like this:
String pathString = makeUrlFormat(File.separator + "h" + File.separator + "data" + File.separator + "local" + File.separator + "ME" + File.separator);
File tempFile = new File(pathString);
if (tempFile.canRead() == false)
//error
} //end ifThe problem I'm having is that the directory does exist, and has universal read/write privileges, yet I keep getting an "AccessControlException:access denied" exception.
Does anyone have any idea what might be preventing my program from reading from this directory?

You need to actually create the file first -String pathString = makeUrlFormat(File.separator + "h" + File.separator + "data" + File.separator + "local" + File.separator + "ME" + File.separator);
File tempFile = new File(pathString);
// ADD THIS ///////////////
tempFile.createNewFile();
if (tempFile.canRead() == false){
//error
} //end if

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
That's one problem.
The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
Can anyone help ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Answering the questions :
- Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
- Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
- In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
With publishing :
- Please try to rename the image file and then relink
- If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
- Try again to publish
With e-mail from BC :
- Under preferences , please check the country selected.
- If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.
Peace...

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

Hi Nigel
If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

Help needed with BBDM 5.0.1 IP Modem

Hi I was happily connecting thru the Net via the IP Modem in BBDM ver 5.0.1 all this while. Only this happened yesterday. Accidentally during the connection, my 9500 was disconnected from the USB cable. From that moment on, I cannot access the Net using the IP Modem feature. Tried to reboot the laptop as well as the 9500 but now all I get is the connecting message and then a pop up saying there is a hardware failure in the connecting device (or modem) ie the BB 9500.
I even uninstalled BBDM 5.0.1 and reinstalled ver 5.0 and also updated back to 5.0.1 - same story. I can still access the Net via the BB browser etc
Advise please thanks in advance
