How can I create chapter markers that iTunes will recognize?

I recently purchased several audiobooks from Barnes and Noble which are encoded as MP3s with chapter markers inserted into the metadata in a proprietary format. I am trying to convert them to appear properly in iTunes.
It appears that I could import them into a GarageBand podcast project, and create markers by hand there, but that is very slow and impractical for dozens of hours of audiobooks.
I would like to simply edit the metadata associated with the file so that iTunes will recognize them.
Here is an example MP3 audiobook file with proprietary chapter metadata:
=============================================================

The resulting file appears to have chapter markers in the same format as the iTunes audiobook format, however the chapter markers don't show up in iTunes, QuickTime Player or on my iPhone. VLC however does recognize the chapter markers.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? I seem to be at a bit of an impasse here.
Edit: I am using iTunes 10.1.2 if that makes any difference.

Hi,
WS20000077 this std. Workflow for the PR Release this has different levels of approvals, Depends on the no. of approvals it will flow.
The approver can picked using the User Exit M06B0001 (EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001), here you have to write a logic to pick the Approver.
The approval workitem comes to SAP Inbox, once the approver click the workitem it will open the Transaction, there the user can approve.
And for BUS2009 issue , discuss with Functional Consultant check configuration done separately for Purchase requisition item.

How can I add chapter markers in the new iMovie (2013)?

I like to have chapter markers in my movies so that when I make the dvd the menu allows me to go to different chapters easily in the movie. The old version of imovie had this feature and I can't seem to find it in this new version.

Since Apple discontinued iDVD the newest version of iMovie can't create chapter markers.
Fine, so how do I set chapters for my Podcasts and QuickTime movie ?

If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

How can I create a custom feature, which will automatically take a custom master page while creating a site ?

Hello ,
I am new in Sharepoint development . I am trying to create a Sharepoint feature to Activate master page automatically while creating the site .Below mentioned code I am using to do this .
But When I am creating any site under site collection .It is not applying automatically . I have to manually Activate that feature .
SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
Uri masterUri = new Uri(rootWeb.Url + "/_catalogs/masterpage/mycustom.master");
rootWeb.MasterUrl = masterUri.AbsolutePath;
rootWeb.CustomMasterUrl = masterUri.AbsolutePath;
rootWeb.Update();
How Can I create a feature that can activate the master page at same time of site creation under Site collection ,Without any manual work ..
Thanks in Advance ..

Hi,
You can associate master page during feature activation as follows:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19933.sharepoint-2010-set-a-custom-master-page-during-feature-activation.aspx
Then, you can use feature stapling to apply automatically on site creation:

How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file? I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page. I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image. This is for a very simple question/answer book. The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something. I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified.
Is this possible?

Have yiu tried the PopOver widget? You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

How can I create chapter marks in order to export to a DVD later?

With the new version of IMovie for Mac, I am not able to find where this function is.

Since Apple has ended support for DVD burning they felt no need for chapter markers in iMovie version 10.
iMovie version 9 is still in your Applications folder and it can create chapter markers.

How can I create a subVI that has state?

I'm trying to simplify a VI that I inherited and I noticed a recurring pattern that IMHO should be a subVI. The pattern is that we have a digital output line that is controlled by a timer. Each output has a start time for it to activate and a duration after which it is turned off. When the state changes, a single line entry is added to a common log file and an indicator shared variable is set so that the remote host VI updates. We have a big while loop that checks the current time against each of the activation conditions. To detect when the state has changed, we're using a shift register (for each actuator). It's one thing to see the same pattern 3 times, but it's worse -- we want to sometimes use a different number of actuators. If I was writing this in C++ (with which I'm far more comfortable than LabView), I'd write a class for the actuator and instantiate it N times. The class would have member data to keep track of its state. I can create a subVI that does the meat of the design pattern, but I can't figure out how to store the previous state in the subVI without requiring it to be passed in. How do I keep the state and behavior of a VI together? Surely there's a way to do this because otherwise I can't see how you could implement state-ful algorithms like, say, a PID controller. But I'm at a loss to figure it out ...
Thanks.
Keith.

To save state in a subVI and not use that state in other subVI calls, make the subVI reentrant. When a subVI that is reentrant is called it creates a unique memory space for that subVI. This is called a clone. That memory space is where state is held for that subVI. Keep in mind that it also means that the memory footprint is going to be larger.
To set a subVI to be reentrant, open it and go to File -> VI Properties and select execution. It will be a choice on the bottom left.
Hope that this helps,

How can i create a playlist in iTunes and have the playlist show up on iPhone 5

I painstakingly spent a considerable amout of time creating a playlist in iTunes on Windows, and now when I sync my iPhone, and open the Music app, I do not see the playlist at all. When I select 'On this device' in iTunes, I can see the playlist listed, but a large number of the songs are greyed out, and do not play in iTunes. These are simply songs I selected from my iTunes library into an iTunes playlist, and I sync'ed my iPhone saying transfer only selected playlists, etc, and now the playlist does NOT show up on the iPhone.
Any ideas?
Thanks

With iDVD, how can I create a DVD that auto plays on insert and then loops?

I want to burn a presentation using idvd which will be played at an exhibition. how do I create a dvd without menu that auto plays upon insert and then loops?

To create a OneStep DVD:
Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
Insert a recordable DVD disc.
iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
------------or-------------
To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

How can I create an action that uses "Find and replace"?

Hi there,
I'm trying to create an action that will use "Find and replace" to change certain words and phrases in my .psd-files. These are words and phrases I change a lot (I'm translating emails and website banners) and I would like to speed up that process using actions.
When I tried to create the action I got the error message "The object "in contents of all text layers" is not currently available".
Then I tried "insert menu items" and chose "Find and replace" and then did my change, but then it stopped when the FAR-window popped up. That's what I want to skip, so it just changes my words and phrases that I want.
Is this possible?
Best,
Carl

Anyway, in the Script in that other thread the function replaceText takes two Strings, so something like
function main () {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
replaceText ("replace this", "with this")
would be a possibility.

How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

And what is the wording of the error message?
