Help required with imovie

Help please; imovie driving me mad. I have a new Hitachi HD Camcorder. I would like to put together a short film using imovie. However, when i connect the camcorder to my mac, imovie does not recognise what i have filmed. The camcorder, takes photo's which iphoto recognises. The camcorder comes with an installation disc which the mac does not recognise.
Can someone shed some light on what i need to do to import what i have recorded so that can edit into a short movie?

.. The model is a Hitachi DZHV1074 HD SD Card Camcorder (New model supplied by Comet).
very hard to find any facts 'n specs about this device. by judging its case, I do assume, this is one of those Chinese-'bulk'-devices, which get a brand-name by packaging.. you get here a very similiar-looking device under the in Germany popular brand-name Praktika for lil' money ... esp. that no-optical-but 5x digital-zoom makes me assuming that..
usually, they record in 720p/1080i AVCHD, low bitrates .. so, iM should read the files.
give this three suggestions a try:
• check cam's manual about how to connect.. probably, you have to set the device in some 'PC'- or 'usb'-mode...? often, it helps to connect device to power-line, not running on battery only..
• purchase a simple SDcard-reader, 10-20€ .. insert SDcard, try to import from there.
• after downloading the stills to your computer, erase the stills on/with your cam. try again to import video. sometimes, these devices have some exotic file-structure, which hides video 'under' the stills.

Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.
I now have to go back to Windows 8 and create the PDF's there.
Any one know how to get around this issue?
Thanks in advance

OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

The problem
No sound from any of the speakers. (Exception can plug in headphones at front)
Background
My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). However after reconnecting speakers and restoring the original settings I?m getting no sound from any of the speakers. I?ve followed all the available advice/instructions I can find on this website and manuals to no avail.

Your advice please. A simple step by step guide would be appreciated, many thanks in advance, Jon

"My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). "
Do you have the original installation disk?
If so, try installing THOSE drivers, ESPECIALLY if it worked before. Be sure to uninstall what is there now, first.
Its natural for most people to want the 'latest' drivers for their hardware. However:
After experiencing some difficulties with some CL 'updates' for certain products, I now avoid them UNLESS I am having a PROBLEM with the existing drivers.

Immediate help required with this job scheduling scenario

I have a job that needs to run a procedure hourly but not between 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Can anyone help me with how to schedule this job.

If you use a window the job would only execute if the window opens. If for some reason the window did not open then the job would not execute.
Windows should be used to specify which resource plan should be active for the time interval.
In this case you are better off using FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=; and specify the hours.

@Basva - when will you realize that your table is no good, and needs to be normalized into a more traditional relational table?

Help required with an image

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can help me with the following issue.
If you see the attached image in the top left hand corner their is a square box which is a different shade to the rest of the header.
I need to rectify this and blend it in with the rest on the header colour; however, I do not know how to do this and would appreciate some assistance in doing this.
I'm a noobie to photoshop so any help is much appreciated.

It seems you've copied another portion of the texture to overlay something you didn't want seen...
As opposed to copy/paste of a rectangular region, this is almost a textbook use for Content Aware Fill, which should (assuming it works properly) match the pattern and blend the colors.
Try selecting just the blemish or whatever you're trying to cover, then expand the selection a few pixels, then Edit - Fill - Content Aware.

Help me with iMovie, please!!

I'm trying to add photos from iPhoto to a project and it won't load them. Does anyone have any advice?

Good, if photo booth works with imovie it means a broken link between iphoto.
I assume the photos are ok when you view them in iphoto only? Its just when you try the same in imovie it fails to show them?
Lets try some simple solutions first to rebuild the link:
1. Repair your disk permissions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1452 - then restart
2. Delete the imovie preference file - "iMovie.plist" if you do a search for it - again drag it to the trash, make sure imovie is not running, restart, and open again. It will rebuild itself and re establish links with iphoto.
If this does not work, then we have to move to some more advanced ideas.
Let me know how it goes,
SBB

Help required with ADFS 3.0 client certificate authentication

Hi,
I am currently working on integrating ADFS 3.o for Single Sign On to some 3rd party services along with PKI solution. The basic requirement is that I should be able to choose client authentication certificate as an authentication method in ADFS and then
federate user credentials to 3rd party trust for single-sign-on.
I had done this successfully with ADFS 2.0 and that setup is working fine. I have the setup as ADFS 3.0 client authentication method enabled. When I open browser to logon, the ADFS 3.0 page displays a message as "Select a certificate that you want to
use for authentication. If you cancel the operation, please close your browser and try again." but the certificates are not displayed for selection.
The certificates are valid and have valid chaining to CA. Could someone help me resolve this issue?
Thanks!
-Chinmaya Karve

Hi Yan,
Thanks for your response. I have gone through the posts that you have suggested, and my setup looks pretty much as expected.
So, as I mentioned earlier, I have 2 parallel setups with 3rd party service(SalesForce). Once of them is running ADFS 2.0 and another one has ADFS 3.0. I can logon to the third-party services, from both the setups using username/format. I can logon to SF
using client authentication certificate from ADFS 2.0 setup, but from the same client machine, when I try to logon SF via ADFS 3.0, the browser just does not pick up any certificate. The page just shows message of "Select a certificate that you want to use
for authentication. If you cancel the operation, please close your browser and try again.".
I have checked the browser, and it has the right certificates. Also, the same browser/machine is used to logon to SF through ADFS 2.0 via client certificate, which works just fine !
I am really confused now, as to whose issue this really is...
Just to confirm, I am using Certificate Authentication from ADFS 3.0 Authentication Methods for both Intranet and Extranet.
Any suggestion or inputs where I could have gone wrong in the setup?
Thanks!

Help Needed With iMovie - Thank You

I am working on a project with someone using iMovie. Here are my questions regarding iMovie:
My project involves all stills which i want to animate with pans and zooms.
1. Most important: what is the optimal size/proportion - - in pixels and in resolution -- for adding stills to iMovie?
2. I can't find a pan function under the Ken Burns effect, only zoom.
I want to pan along my vertical images, so that the image moves up or down the screen. Is there a way to do this in iMovie? Is it possible to important an image whose height is longer than the screen size and then move the screen view along it within allowable parameters.
3. Someone told me that i need to work in 640 x 480 format at 72 dpi in order to burn to DVD from iMovie. When i imported images this size, they loaded, then immediately disapppeared. The little screen went white, and so did the clip thumbnail. They did not show while
playing either. Then i figured out that they should be 720 x 480.
Some of these load correctly, and others get cropped in iMovie. The vertically oriented pix that i did not format to 720 have black banding added, which i expected, but are also cropped at top and bottom. How can i avoid this cropping?
Please send replies to me by email at [email protected]
Thank you for helping me.
Sincerely,

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I don't know what version or OS my friend has and she is the one doing most of the work on this.

in addition to Brie's excellent hints... :
in computer lingo you have TWO terms defining the quality of a picture:
pixels and "dots per inch" (dpi)
pixels is, what you see on your screen.. (get closer.. CLOSER.. there: · << a dot, NO! a pixel...)
printed products also have "pixels".. BUT: in print, they define quality by how many pixels dots fit into one inch.. the more the better... way back in computer history (a few months ago...) a "large" 15 screen with 800x600 pixels had.. < math > ~72 dots per inch.. now, if you set a 20" screen to 800x800 pixel.. you'll get < math > .. ehm, less dots per inch/dpi..
a screen has a DEFINED number of dots pixels.. EVERY video screen displays only 720x480, if it is a giant 30" plasma, or a 25years old 7" b/w tube... (OK, now we have HiDef: they offer more pixel, but again a fixed, defined number of pixels....)
different in print:
an average flyer has 150 dpi... a blinky magazine (Vogue) has 300dpi... INDEPENDENTLY of the size of the pic... you can make 1200 pixeldots fit into < math > 4 inches... or 10inches..
so, some pic files contain BOTH data: the resolution (pixel) AND the dots needed for print (dpi) ..
video = fix resolution
print = variable resolution...
read Brie's comment, but why a higher resolution is useful in video/iMovie..

Help required with DAQ and waveform generation

Hi,
I'm using DAQ 6024E card for waveform acquisition using LabVIEW 8.2 version. I've also attached my vi for your reference.
My next step is , I want to add another waveform to the acquired waveform, i.e. I mean to say if the acquired waveform is a sine wave with 60 Hz frequency and amplitude of 8V peak-to-peak, I want to finally display a wave which is 8V peak-to-peak with sinusoidally changing freuency.
To be more clear...I want a sine wave with frequency = 60 Hz + 1*sin( 2*pie**t).
As cane bveen seen in my vi, I can extract the phase and magnitude of the original acquired signal.
Can anyone help me out with this...as I'm not able to figureout how should I proceed next.
Looking forward to hear soon,
Regards,
Rohit

You'd probably want to use the DAQmx VI's instead of the Express VIs, when doing something more exotic. You can start by converting the existing Express VIs to code by opening their front panels and saving them as a VI.

Some help required with logic for a dynamic sql query

i have below code but not sure how to resolve this problem - what i need is to be able to dynamically
the problem:
i have a rabbge of paratmeters coming in from a form and need to be able to create a dynamic query string to go into a prepared statement object.
the problem i have is there are 2 fields year range and year.
if year range is none i need to create the query string as such :
where the value of year can be serached on exactly
str.append("VOLUME_YEAR = ? ");the probelm is if the year range is 5 or year range is 10 i dont know how to maipulate the query string to be able to set the string such that i can then place the year value in the place holder in preparedStatement.setInt(1, year)
how can i create the intial query string ie.- what are the possible things that i can do. - i'm thinking of things like putting some type of between or such type query statement - but not at all sure how the syntax would go - ie. how would i use the year value and how would i create this dynamic part of the query string so that the JDBC regonises it?
thanks for any help.
public String setVolumeYearQuerySt(String year, String yearRange, StringBuffer str){
          String volumeYearQueryString = null;
          Sring doAction= null;
          if (yearRange.equals("None")){str.append("VOLUME_YEAR = ? ");}
          else if(yearRange.equals("5 Years")){doAction = "Nothing";}
          else if (yearRange.equals("10 Years")){doAction = "Nothing";}
          return volumeYearQueryString;
          }

Saish - thanks a lot for the code example.
Although, i think its far too advanced for me to understand and try to manipulate it and fit my problem. I'm pretty new to programming as you can probably see from my simple if else type statements. But i'm going to give it a try and see how it goes.
could you please be kind enough to demonstrate how i could use the above syntax to do the following. --
i have a year being entered in form . in the database there is a column year volume which contains year in single year value format and also in a year range value format - thus as in below - how could i do this -
eg.
user can enter a value in the year field a single value or a range value - then he can select +/-5 or 10 yrs range on that value - the DB holds the values as single values and ranges as below -
one suggested apporach is as follows if a single user is alloweed to enter only a single value in the filed and select a query range +/- 5 etc..
volume year of �1926-1928� and the user enters �1927�, the query has to find all records where
look for records that are �less than or equal to� 1927. It then has to check to see if it contains a range. For those that it finds containing a range, it has to work out what the �upper� year is and check to see if that is �greater than or equal� to 1927. If it is, then that is a possible matchanother approach that is suggested is to have a drop down with all years from databse and user is only llowed to select value from drop down and following logic is suggested :
Because volumes can be received as ranges (e.g. 1964-1966), some extra coding is required where the user asks for a Year Range (such as + or � 5).
Using the Year selected from the dropdown list, split it into 2 values, a low year and a high year. For example, if �1965-1968� is selected from the year dropdown, split it into �1965� and �1968� for the low year and high year respectively. If �1964� is selected from the year dropdown, split it into �1964� and �1964�. Now take the Year Range that the user has entered into account. For example, if the user has entered 5, subtract 5 from the low year and add 5 to the high year. Using these values, include the following search criteria in the query to the database:-
(<low year>     BETWEEN
             left (VOLUME_YEAR, charindex ('-',VOLUME_YEAR + '-') - 1)
     AND     right (VOLUME_YEAR, charindex ('-',VOLUME_YEAR + '-') - 1))
OR     (<high year>     BETWEEN
             left (VOLUME_YEAR, charindex ('-',VOLUME_YEAR + '-') - 1)
     AND     right (VOLUME_YEAR, charindex ('-',VOLUME_YEAR + '-') - 1))regards - i think if i could solve the first approach that would be something good as its most user freindly
thanks

Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
- language switch indicator not working
- show-flags does nothing anymore
Any help fit is required because of usability issues

Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -layout us,ru
setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
# kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
`which kbdd` && kbdd
Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

Help required with oracle user management

My requirement is to hide the developer toolbar that shows at the bottom of all the pages in the application. This happens when I log into the application as an administrator or a developer. When I try logging in as an end user, who does not have developer or administrator privileges, I get a message saying that " Access denied by application security check". This problem does not depend on whether I use apex security or database security for my application, in both the cases, as soon as I login to the worksapce with a user account, this message is displayed. Please help me out. Any sort of help will be appreciated.

Hi Shantanu
When you log in to the workspace, the URL will end with something like: /pls/htmldb/f?p=4550 (it may also end with /pls/htmldb/htmldb_login)
To log in to your application, you need to change the final number to the number of your application. For example, if your application is number 105, then change the end of the URL to: /pls/htmldb/f?p=105.
Your application should have a login page (typically, Page 101) which should be loaded as soon as the user tries to get to your application.

Andy
