Help With Articles on Green Pixels & TOD Files

Hi guys and gals,
A long-time contributor to the Adobe PrPro forum is looking for articles on green pixels (corruption of some sort) with TOD (or MOD) files in PE. I've done some searches, and have turned up very little, and only one article in the PE forum. A couple of the links that I located were from before the forum changeover, so they are now dead. The Adobe forum search engine is about worthless, IMHO, but I swear that I remember discussions on this problem.
If anyone can point me to any article links, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Hunt

There was a recent thread on this. Infact Adobe Tech Support suggested the following solution that worked:
"Go to the Adobe Elements 7 folder in your "Program Files" folder and open the "Plug Ins" and "en_US" folders.
Find a file called ImporterFastMPEG.prm and remove it. I moved it to the desktop"

Late 2008 MacBook Pro 17" frozen with pink and green pixels

Hi all,
Hope someone can point me in the right direction with my Macbook Pro problem. I have a late 2008 version of the 17" MacBook Pro. I've been using it today and it's been completely fine. that was up until I was uploading my recent holiday photos to iPhoto. I left it to upload and came to check on it after 5 minutes. I found the program had frozen and pink and green pixels were spotted all over the screen.
I turned the laptop off by the power button. When I started her up again I found the white screen with the pink and green pixels everywhere and apple logo appear. It starting booting and then just stopped. the screen froze and nothing was working. I've tried booting up in safe mode and again it just freezes.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm lost without my computer. I've included a photo I've taken if the frozen screen.
Many Thanks,
Dean.

According to MacBook Pro (Early 2008 and Late 2008) - Technical Specifications you have a model with
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor with dual-link DVI support and 512MB of GDDR3 memory
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
DVI output port
VGA output using included DVI to VGA adapter
Built-in iSight camera
The 8600M GT has several recalls for GPUs, which had a 4-year free repair from date of purchase. It may be too late in your case. You can find the recall notices via internet search if you want to.
You should run the AHT -Using Apple Hardware Test
Please see MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues

30" with edge effects, green pixels?

Just installed first 30" display on Geforce 6800 DDL in my G5. All windows have a blue edge effect (left side usually) and green pixel fringing on the right and within many objects, icons, text.
Is this a symptom of a bad LCD?
I have a picture, not sure how to include in a post.
Dual G5; FCP Studio 5 + Mac OS X (10.4.7) JVC SR-GS30 deck, DVX-100a

I bought the original 17" MacBook Pro with a 30" Cinema and had the green/blue pixel issue right away. Seemed to only come after the display went to sleep. I brought it back to the Apple Store and they told me it was a bad graphics card and replaced the MacBook Pro. I took it home and the problem was still there. Next they replaced the 30" display. I took that home and had the same problem. I took in both the display and MacBook Pro and they couldn't reproduce the problem using their Cinema Display. The Genius told me it must be an interference issue and to try using the combination in a different place. I moved both to the other end of the house and had the same problem. Next they told me to try a power line conditioner. I bought a 1500VA backup and the problem was still there. Then I noticed that it only showed up when my laptop was closed (I thought I was supposed to be able to do that). I left it open from then on and all was well. Then I upgraded to the Core 2 Duo and got a different problem. Now instead of blue and green pixels, I get a snowy blue pixel dots and lines jumping all over the dark areas of the screen. I can change the desktop picture and it only effects the black or nearly black areas. Watching a DVD is painful - blue static everywhere.
I find it interesting that two different computers with the same video card and the same monitor have similar, but not identical problems. I found a fix in leaving my lid open last time, but I haven't found a fix for the Core 2 Duo. Anyone?

Help with article from learning Flex

Hi,
I was trying the examples on the Learning Flex site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/datamodel_print.html
I did manage to fix all the compile issues (Flex 1.5 to 2.0)
but I stll cannot get it to work.
For starters it doesn't load the info from the xml files.
Second if I use the following :
<mx:DataGrid id="empGrid" dragEnabled="true"
dataProvider="{empModel.employee}"> it gives an error when
trying to add a new employee
if I use:
<mx:DataGrid id="empGrid" dragEnabled="true"
dataProvider="{empModel}"> it adds it properly (minus the
Location which doesn't get loaded). Also when used this way it adds
scroll bars around the panel.
Can somebody explains why it doesn't load and what is the
difference between:
dataProvider="{empModel.employee}" and
dataProvider="{empModel}"
I have attached the modified files:

I have tried just a small example , with a data grid and an

If I move the xml to an external file and use <mx:Model
... it doesn't show up, so it seems that is something wrong with

Can please somebody verify it.

Help with Script created to check log files.

Hi,
I have a program we use in our organization on multiple workstations that connect to a MS SQL 2005 database on a Virtual Microsoft 2008 r2 Server. The program is quite old and programmed around the days when serial connections were the most efficient means
of connection to a device. If for any reason the network, virtual server or the SAN which the virtual server runs off have roughly 25% utilization or higher on its resources the program on the workstations timeout from the SQL database and drop the program
from the database completely rendering it useless. The program does not have the smarts to resync itself to the SQL database and it just sits there with "connection failed" until human interaction. A simple restart of the program reconnects itself
to the SQL database without any issues. This is fine when staff are onsite but the program runs on systems out of hours when the site is unmanned.
The utilization of the server environment is more than sufficient if not it has double the recommended resources needed for the program. I am in regular contact with the support for the program and it is a known issue for them which i believe they do not
have any desire to fix in the near future.
I wish to create a simple script that checks the log files on each workstation or server the program runs on and emails me if a specific word comes up in that log file. The word will only show when a connection failure has occurred.
After the email is sent i wish for the script to close the program and reopen it to resync the connection.
I will schedule the script to run ever 15 minutes.
I have posted this up in a previous post about a month ago but i went on holidays over xmas and the post died from my lack or response.
Below is what i have so far as my script. I have only completed the monitoring of the log file and the email portion of it. I had some help from a guy on this forum to get the script to where it is now. I know basic to intermediate scripting so sorry for my
crudity if any.
The program is called "wasteman2G" and the log file is located in \\servername\WasteMan2G\Config\DCS\DCS_IN\alert.txt
I would like to get the email side of this script working first and then move on to getting the restart of the program running after.
At the moment i am not receiving an error from the script. It runs and doesn't complete what it should.
Could someone please help?

Thankyou for that link, it did help quite a bit. What i wanted was to move it to csript so i could run the wscript.echo in commandline. It all took to long and found a way to complete it via Batch. I do have a problem with my script though and you might
be able to help.
What i am doing is searching the log file. Finding the specific words then outputting them to an email. I havent used bmail before so thats probably my problem but then im using bmail to send me the results.
Then im clearing the log file so the next day it is empty so that when i search it every 15 minutes its clean and only when an error occurs it will email me.
Could you help me send the output via email using bmail or blat?

Need some help with DNG and error parsing the files

Ok, so I found out that I can't open NEF files with CS2 from my Nikon D3100 - unless I upgrade to CS6, or use the DNG converter. I did download the DNG converter that came with the Camera RAW 3.7 (for CS2) in one of Adobe's links, but when I try to convert the NEF files, the DNG converter says "There is an error parsing the file". If it helps, I have Windows 7. Is there a different version of the DNG converter I should be using? Thanks!

A simple Google search will find it. For some reason it isn't on the Adobe website. If you upgrade to CS6 you'll find much improvement in your raw conversions.

Help with scripting: need to import Excel files into PS type layers

Howdy all,
I have a series of TV commercials provided to me as layered PS files. I work in CS3 and export to Avid for editing.
For customization, I need to import their Excel list of phone numbers and duplicate each one into a type layer with existing efx and placement.
There are 30-60 #s, which appear in 2 locations, so automation is key (just finished a 45 # series, and they have more!)
I dont know how to script this, and would appreciate any guidance. I am not asking for someone to do it for me, just help me learn what I have to do.
Dave Koslow

From Excel save your file out as either CSV or TDT from the drop down 'save as' options. Once you have a plain text file script will be able to read the text file using which ever delimiter best suits you and create an array of string variables that you can use within photoshop to assign to the contents of a text layer…

Help with Illustrator Script! Batch convert files including subfolders - please help! :)

Hello,
I honestly have tried reading the other answers and researching to try to solve this problem. I'm sorry for my ignorance in this area. Please help!!!
I'm trying to make a script (for Illustrator CS2) that will batch convert several files to PNG files. The source folder has several subfolders and I need the script to go into the subfolders and convert those files as well. The destination directory should be an entirely separate folder but with the same hierarchy as the original source folder.
The script I have been using (that converts just as I need) is below. The only problem is it doesn't do the subfolders.
Any help would be so amazingly appreciated!

Help with how to read and write files to the applets server

I am writing a form that requires some data to be written serverside(not on the host machine) and I also need to be able to read from those same files.
Can anyone provide any help?
I looked into signing but it seems, to me, that signing is for when you are going to be modifying files on the host...

brianb7590 wrote:
Would I use that to refer to the file like I would with a regular application?Nope. It's pretty complicated. You've got to set something up on the server to accept requests, get all the data and then save files somewhere and on the client side you've got to make the connection and send the data.

Help with creating color schemes in Illustrator file

I'm repeating a particular background image on each page of a calendar and would like to change its colors on each page. There are 2 gradients in the image which use a total of four different colors. I'm not at all skilled in color theory and was wondering if anyone can please tell me if there's an easy way to come up with harmonious color combinations that I can apply to the original Illustrator file? My shortcut solution would be to convert the color to grayscale and apply a color overlay, but the image just looks flat when I do that. I would prefer to adjust the gradients individually but just don't know how to find compatible colors.
Here's a preview of the image followed by a DropBox link to the Illustrator file.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/background1.ai
Thanks!

Couple ideas for you:
First, try using the color wheel on color.adobe.com. Select the middle color and add your hex code to the color. The app will automatically show you analogous colors. See an example here. You can also experiment with the other color rules in the Color Rule menu (just click on one of them).
Second, take a look at themes created by others. If you are looking generally for colors that work well with yellow, you can browse the most popular themes and spot some which use yellow.
I hope that helps.

Help With Writing A Vector To A File

hi
i am having trouble writing a vector to a file
Here is my code

import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
public class Save
     JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
     public Save(JFrame par, mainCollection col)
     try
     ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream fc.getSelectedFile().getName()));
     out.writeObject(col.carCollection);
     for(int i = 0; i< col.carCollection.size();i++)
     Cars cd = (Cars)col.carCollection.elementAt(i);
     Vector v = cd.getModels();
     out.writeObject(v);
     }catch(FileNotFoundException e){System.out.println("not found");}
     catch(IOException e){System.out.println("IO" + e.getMessage());}
Ok now the mainCollection col is from my other class mainCollection which has my main vector in it. This main vector contains car types which contain car models i.e. Ford which contains Falcon. What i need to do is copy the whole contents of vector over in one go to the file.
With the code above i am getting IO Exception errors

If you write the vector, it's content will be written too.
hi
i am having trouble writing a vector to a file
Here is my code
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
public class Save
     JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
     public Save(JFrame par, mainCollection col)
     try
ObjectOutputStream out = new
= new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream
fc.getSelectedFile().getName()));
     out.writeObject(col.carCollection);
for(int i = 0; i<
= 0; i< col.carCollection.size();i++)
Cars cd =
     Cars cd = (Cars)col.carCollection.elementAt(i);
     Vector v = cd.getModels();
     out.writeObject(v);
}catch(FileNotFoundException
ion e){System.out.println("not found");}
catch(IOException e){System.out.println("IO" +
" + e.getMessage());}
Ok now the mainCollection col is from my other class
mainCollection which has my main vector in it. This
main vector contains car types which contain car
models i.e. Ford which contains Falcon. What i need to
do is copy the whole contents of vector over in one go
to the file.
With the code above i am getting IO Exception errors
here is the errors

Whatever all that means
Thanks for your help, i'm really confused

Help with Automator - create workflow to move files to dated folders

If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have no idea how to use Automator, but I think it'd be perfect for this job.
I want to take a folder of files (images) and move them to separate folders which are named for the dates that the files were created on. So, for instance, I have a folder of ten images. Five were created on November 1st and the other five were created on November 2nd. I want to create two folders on the desktop with the dates in the name (like 20071101 & 20071102) and take the five images from 11/1 and move them to the 20071101 folder and the five images from 11/2 and move them to the 20071102 folder (sorry for the run-on sentence).
Is this possible with Automator? Is this an easy thing to do?
Thanks,
Antonio

I'm trying to do something very similar. I need to open an image sequence in QuickTime and export them to a mov file. Easy enough, but I would also like to create a new Finder folder and name it with today's date and save the mov file to that new folder.
What frustrates me is that it doesn't appear you can name Finder folders in any way other than using the Rename Folder action. I was hoping to use today's date that I had copied to the clipboard. Also, I have no experience using AppleScript, so hoping to avoid anything advanced there.

30inch with hundreds of green pixels?!?!?

So I love this 30 in display, but everytime my monitor goes to sleep and I wake it up, there are hundred of green, or sometimes blue pixels on the screen. It looks like someone spraypainted it with MS PAINT..hahah. Anyway, the only way to correct it is to restart. Any ideas as to why this happens or how to stop it???

I have a couple of 30" LCD's. This started on one right after I got it. I was so busy and knew I had time under warranty that I did not worry about it. I also knew that if I could not show it to Apple they would not just replace it. I got a Mac Book Pro, and when it goes to sleep and then you wake it up again the "pixel shimmer" comes back.
I since took it to the Apple store and they replaced the display and now it's just fine. I don't know where the packing slip went from what they replaced to resolve the issue, however I have ruled out Video Cards (I put the same 30" on both a 6800 Ultra (on a PMG5), X1900 (on a dell), and a 7900 (on a dell) and got the same problems. It is not a physical LCD problem as the pixels do not always do this, and they do not always appear in the same place. they are also varried based on the colors being displayed on the LCD. I noticed when you have a photo up it shows up a lot more around the flesh colors than solid black/white on the screen.
I have heard it has something to do with the DVI cable (my cable was not replaced, so I'm wondering if there is an internal dvi cable / logic board assy. that is bad. All in all, the quick fix is to return it to apple for warranty work.

Help with getting array values from a file

Hey ppl. Im doing a programming assignment just now and im completely stumped. I know i can ask my tutor but that will take a week (he is never in) so i was wondering if any of you could help. The basic idea is that you have to store numbers read from a file into an array. The catch is that you are not given the size of the array, you have to discover this by counting the numbers in the file. It terminates when -1 is discovered. This 'count' then states the size of the array.
I got this done ok and i thought I was on easy street after that. All i had to do was read the numbers into the array but alas its not working. The compiler gives it the ok, but when i run the program i get the following error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.nullPointerException
at marks.main(marks.java:48)
By the way line 48 is as follows
numbers[index] = Integer.parseInt(infile.readLine().trim());
and here is the evil program!!!!!
//Paul Rodger ***MARKS*** 14/1/02
//A program which takes numbers from a file and enters them into an array.
//The stream of numbers is terminated when the number -1 is discovered
import java.io.*;
class marks
static BufferedReader keyboard = new
BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
static PrintWriter screen = new PrintWriter(System.out, true);
static public void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
FileReader file = new FileReader("numbers.txt");
BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(file);
//local Data
int COUNT;
double x;
char ans;
COUNT=0; // initialising the counter
//inputs values and calculates the sum
x = Double.parseDouble(infile.readLine().trim());
while (x>=0){
COUNT++;
x= Double.parseDouble(infile.readLine().trim());
// display the count
screen.println("the number of values entered was : " +COUNT );
// stores numbers in the array
int[] numbers = new int[COUNT];
for(int index=0 ; index < COUNT; index++)
numbers[index] = Integer.parseInt(infile.readLine().trim());
infile.close();
Any help is appreciated!

What was suggested is this -
prior to this line ...
int[] numbers = new int[COUNT];insert these lines ...
file = new FileReader("numbers.txt");
infile = new BufferedReader(file);An alternative solution, one which reads the file only once, is to do it this way ...
1. read the numbers and put them into a List (either ArrayList or Vector)
2. instantiate the array based on the size of List (list.size())
3. populate the array from the list

Hard drive crash need help with new iTunes load and backup files

I have looked through the posts and not found my situation.
I had my iPhone synced to a PC computer and the hard drive crashed. I had an extensive library in iTunes, but none of the music was purchased online so I can't simply download it again. It was all from CD's, many of which belonged to friends. I now have an iMac. The music I like is still on my iPhone, but not on my new iMac. When I try to sync the iPhone with my iMac it wants to delete all the music on my iPhone. Is there any way to copy the music off my iPhone first - so I can add it back into my iTunes library?

Yes, luckily I have been in this situation.
You can download a free application that will take your music from your iPhone and place it onto your Macintosh HD.
One of these should suit your needs:
