LOSING IT: "Image Loading" from a DVD is NOT!!

I don't know what's the deal. Aren't we supposed to have our photos anywhere? That's how Aperture is being marketed right?
How come I can't edit my referenced photos from a DVD? I import them fine and during the import it seems I can edit the photos. But say that I want to edit some of my photos a week after; Aperture simply doesn't allow that! It tells me that the "Image is Loading", but the DVD doesn't even spin.
It's not the DVD player as I can access the photos in the Finder and even edit them using Preview....
H....E....L.....P.....!

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for the reply. I had tried that to no avail. It's weird because the photos I have in external drives have no problems. Only DVDs.
The screen to manage referenced files (the top part) shows that all files were found (the ones I have referred to in my DVD as well). However in the "volume" column it only shows "All Volumes" and my external hard drive. I'm assuming that here also the DVD volume should also be listed. This may be the reason why it doesn't work. But how can I force it to see my DVD? Any other approach?
Any ideas?

Pavilion TouchSmart PC 20-f323, how to boot from a DVD?

My client has a HP Pavilion 20-f323 TouchSmart PC with Windows 8 on it and wants to downgrade and install Windows 7 Pro instead.
However, my first question here is, how do I boot to my Windows 7 Pro DVD on the TouchSmart PC? I cannot even find a boot menu option to boot from the DVD player.
Any other URLs pointing to this downgrade process would be appreciated!
Thank you very much for your time.
This question was solved.

****Disclaimer*****
HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP will not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
You will need to purchase a new copy of Windows 7 with a valid COA and product key.
The screen shots below are from an HP 15t-j100 notepad computer... the options and configuration screens on your computer may differ.
You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot configuration" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
After saving the changes, the computer will request that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and pressing the "ENTER" key.
If are you are installing from a USB stick and see a "Load Driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing" message, this is because "System Configuration" > "USB3.0 Config in Pre-Boot" is set to "Enabled". This must be set to "Auto". This should clear up the CD/DVD device missing.
Additionally, as the hard drive is most likely partitioned as GPT, you must boot using the UEFI-Internal CD/DVD or UEFI-USB Key/Drive to install Windows on a GPT partitioned disk. Turn on or reboot the computer and tap "F9" or "ESC" and then "F9" when prompted. Highlight the UEFI boot source you are using and press "ENTER".
I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
From the top...
1) Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
2) When the MENU comes up, press the "F10" key.
3) Navigate the BIOS to "System Configuration", "USB 3.0 Config in Pre-OS" and set to "Auto".
4) Navigate the BIOS to "System Configuration", "Boot Options" and set "Secure Boot" to "Disabled" and set "Legacy Support" to "Enabled".
5) Press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes"
6) Computer should restart and display "Operating System Boot Mode Change"... type the four digit code and press "ENTER".
7) Let Windows 8 boot-up and place the Windows 7 SP1media in the DVD drive or USB port, then log-off / shutdown.
8) Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
9) When the MENU comes up, press the "F9" key and then select the correct UEFI boot source (Internal CD/DVD drive, USB CD/DVD drive, USB Flash drive, etc.)... Press any key to boot CD/DVD, if prompted.
10) Select "Language", "Time / Currency", and "Keyboard" settings and then click "Next"
11) Click "Install Now"... check "Accept Terms" and click "Next". Click "Custom (Advanced)".
12) You may need to supply AMD SATA/RAID drivers at this time... Download AMD Chipset Drivers (Chipset / AHCI / USB 3.0)
13) "Where do you want to install Windows 7???" Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated Space" you created earlier and click "Next".
14) Follow all prompts and answer as needed. Enter Windows 7 key when requested.
Please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" (just the text) for all remaining missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below;
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Solaris 10 - how to boot from the dvd media

Hi,
Could any body guide me on how to prepare the dvd media for solaris 10 installation? I downloaded the 5 dvd images and have no idea on how to put them together on a single dvd to boot from it. I zipped all the dvd's and burned them on a dvd but it doesn't boot from the dvd. Any help will be most appreciated. I can't wait to use solaris 10. Thank you.
OC

That is true, but remember that you are doing this in DOS and the file names and locations have to be right. I put the 5 files into a root directory and just renamed them 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
copy /b 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 file.iso
file.iso would be the name of the resulting image. You can use anything, i.e., solaris10.iso instead of file.iso if you want.

How to load from a data model located in SharePointOnline/PowerBI?

PowerPivot has the option to load 'From Analysis Services Or PowerPivot'.
The Table Import Wizard usually expects the full path of the workbook (including the data model) in SharePoint.
However, 'http://myname.sharepoint.com/shared documents/myfile.xlsx' doesn't work.
How can I access my online data model from PowerPivot ?

SharePoint needs to have Power Pivot Enabled. Speak to your SharePoint Admin if you have any questions about that. Once enabled, you would be able to create a Power Pivot Gallery - where you can upload your Power Pivot Models. Once uploaded the easiest way
is to go to the Gallery and click on the "Excel" button next to the model. This would provide you a connection to the file on SharePoint.
See screenshot below OR watch this video for a demo: Power Pivot to SharePoint: Create thin reports connected to SharePoint Model

How to load from one BW System to another BW System

How to edit from a dvd camcorder

hey-can fce hd edit video from a dvd camcorder? i've searched for it but have only found confusing things that wouldnt produce the quality i need (full DV quality). can anyone help me??
thank you.

I think a lot of newcomers get confused with the term "digital video".
Video output from DVD and HDD camcorders, together with that from still digital cameras and mobile phones is all digital video in that it is composed of ones and zeroes.
Some newcomers, wrongly, assume that all digital video is therefore the same.
They do not realise that there is an almost infinite number of types and quality of dv.
The only kind (ideally) suitable for FCE and other good editing systems is DV (capital letters) which is normally produced by tape-based cameras.
There is also a false belief in the general public that the term "digital" is synonymous with "high quality".
They do not appreciate that "digital" can cover everything from the absolutely worst, abysmal product to one of the highest possible standard.

How to load from multiple sources to multiple destination dynamically

I have more than hundred tables in a different server (lets say on a sql server 1). I have to perform load,by getting change records copy of those hundred tables with the some condition in to sql server 2 destination. I know how to perform data
flow task in SSIS to extract data from a source and load it in a destination. With more than hundred tables, I would need to create more than hundred data flow tasks which is very time consuming. So I have heard about from source to destination dynamically
by looping through and creating variables. Now, how do I do this? Remeber, those hundred tables do having similar column names in both soruce and destination server. How can I perform this initial load faster without using multiple data flow task in SSIS.
Please, help! Thank you!

Ok , if the schema of both the source and destination is same , you can just perform an import and export tool and then it can be saved as an SSIS package. If this needs to be separately developed in an SSIS package, the logic can be :
1 - Get the list of tables using sysobjects or metadata table where all the table list is maintained.
2 - Loop through those tables using for each loop.
3 - Inside the for each loop , use a script to access the source connection ( OLEDB source table name) and the destination connection (OLEDB destination table name).
4 - Assign the source table connectoin dynamically to the variable fecthed from for each loop above.
5 - You can also use expressions for the OLEDB source table name and OLEDB destination name inside the data flow task.
6 - At the end the data flow task which is explained above will be used.
Script task and the data flow task will be used inside the for each loop , above which all the objects list will be fetched using execute sql task using a SELECT and assigned to Object variable.
Simplest will be Import and Export.
Happy to help! Thanks. Regards and good Wishes, Deepak. http://deepaksqlmsbusinessintelligence.blogspot.com/

Satellite A350-12D - How to recover from recovery DVD?

Hey!
Recently i purchased a Toshiba A350 disc. I've format both the discs and went with a clean sweap install of windows vista. Now, a few months later i want to use the Toshiba Recovery Discs i made on the first startup, to recover my Toshiba laptop and set it back to the default installation.
With the tool to create Toshiba Recovery Discs, i had to make 2 recovery discs. The first DVD contains the Windows installation, and the 2nd DVD contains SWM files.
I started the recovery by putting recovery disc 1 in my DVD player and boot it up. After boot it installed Windows Vista, and it never asked for DVD2. After the installation, I have a clean Windows Vista, but no Toshiba pre installed drivers, software etc.
How can I recover my laptop to the default settings, the way i bought it?
thnx for ur awnser,
sincerely, Frank
null

Hi
Usually the Toshiba Recovery disk should contain the image.
The image is the package which contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers/tools and the additional software.
The Toshiba Recovery disk Creator can create the Recovery disk using the image on the notebook and therefore its not understandable for me and I cannot believe why you get only clean Vista without the Toshiba drivers and tools and 3rd party software.
You did everything right. In order to recover the notebook, you have to boot from Recovery disk and have to follow the instruction on the screen.
Thats all.
PS: I the drivers and tools are really missing then you could download it from here:

How to install from Tiger DVD on Lombard with CD drive

I've installed Jaguar on a G3 Powerbook Lombard, and downloaded XPostFacto 4. I want to install Tiger, but I only have the DVD version, and there is only a CD drive in the computer. Can I install Tiger from a networked DVD drive, or is there another option?
tim

There has been at least one report of success using an external USB 1.1 DVD drive to start up the Mac OS X 10.4 DVD on a clamshell iBook
Okay, it seems that the DVD will boot from a USB DVD drive after setting the Boot Disk to the USB drive.
However, running XPostFacto returns a "XPostFacto does not work with this model: Powerbook 1,1" (1,1 referring to Lombard). I've also searched around the XPF forums with little luck. Tiger will also not natively install on a Lombard, but I found this article that details a OSInstall.dist code change to allow Tiger to install.

I may try this later, and post back with results. For now, I'll be running 10.2.

How to burn from a dvd to computer

I just want to know the steps to burn a dvd onto the computer. I don't think I am doing it correctly.

You need a 3rd party "DVD ripper" burn DVDs onto a Mac. Is that what you are using to burn your DVD onto your computer? If so, read the instruction (Help) manual.
DVD ripping is kind of a sticky topic in these forums due to legal stuff (if you know what I mean). Therefore, the only thing I can do is to suggest that do a Google search for DVD rippers, check over on MacUpdate and CNET Downloads if you are not using a ripper.
Three very simple to use rippers are Aimersoft DVD Ripper PPC, Mac DVDRipper and MacTheRipper.

I have unpacked the dmg file and dont know how to load from here

Any help here?

Hi,
Can you please give more information? About the product and the version? OS? Are you trying to install or update?
Thanks,
Rameez

How to load a properties from path that is relative to the classpath

Hello;
I need to load a set of properties from a propertie file from inside and EJB. I need to do so that I don't set the full absoulte path of the property file. In brief I don't want to be dependent on the file system struture instead I want to read the property file relatively to the package path name.
Here is my code:
package packagename.com;
import packagename.com.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class PropDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
public static final String PROP_FILE_NAME
= "configuration.properties";
File inputFile = new File(PROP_FILE_NAME);
Properties prop = new Properties();
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
prop.load(fis);
} catch (Exception e) {
Any body have an idea how to so.
Regards
mal

I realize that you are trying to be a pain in the arseNot really. I know that I spent about a day figuring it out and that was after skirting around the issue for a about a year.
with that reply, but we can look here:
public void load(InputStream inStream) throws
IOExceptionReads a property list (key and element pairs) from the
input stream. The stream is assumed to be using the
ISO 8859-1 character encoding.
The original post suggests the author already knows how to load from a file. So this doesn't help at all.
And possibly GASP cross reference this entry in
Class:
public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name)Finds a resource with a given name. This method
returns null if no resource with this name is found.
The rules for searching resources associated with a
given class are implemented by the defining class
loader of the class.
Now you may equivocate that the docs don't
specifically state that the classpath is where
resources are searched for, but I would maintain that
any Java developer worth anything should know this.Really? So where, in the above entry, does it explain the impact of the "/" character at the beginning of the string?
I know how classes are searched for. I know the impact of the class path. How that impacts a 'resource' is less clear. Particularily since the "/" character has nothing to do with loading classes.
>
This should be Java 101. Advanced Topics should be
something that affect people who have programmed Java
for years. (This is usually something that first year
programmers work out). If this is representitive of
the kinds of questions that qualify as "Advanced" then
this forum will become basically useless.So an opposing opinion...this is an advanced topic. Nothing in the java docs makes it clear. And it is even less clear the context of a container.

(I don't have my (no-longer booting) iBook in front of me to check this, but I think this is what I did last night....)
Boot single user -- hold down "cmd-S" immediately after you turn the computer on.
"diskutil list" will give you a list of your disks. My CD drive was disk1.
"diskutil eject disk" should eject the target disk.

MacBook will not play burnt DVDs?

Hi, not sure if anyone posted this topic already so sorry in advance, but i wanted to know why won't my macbook play burnt DVDs. The DVDs worked fine on my dvd player, my other PC etc. When i load the burnt DVD into my macbook it wouldnt recognize the disk and when i open the dvd platey and hit play it would say something like please enter a readable disk. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
Black MacBook 2.0GHZ 1GB RAM 80GB HD; 5TH GEN Black iPod Video Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I have the same problem with my MacBook 2.0 GHz.
The DVDs in question are DVD-RWs burnt with Pioneer DVR-520H, they work fine on my iMac G4 (DVD-Player & VLC) but when I insert the DVD in my MacBook the DVD-Player doesn't recognize the "media type" and VLC player gives me an error log like this :
vcd: search for kIOCDMediaClass came up empty
vcd: failed to get the TOC
vcd: no movie tracks found
access_file: file /dev/rdisk1 is empty, aborting
cdda: search for kIOCDMediaClass came up empty
cdda: failed to get the TOC
cdda: no audio tracks found
main: no suitable access module for `dvdnav:///dev/rdisk1'
macosx: Error: Unable to open 'dvdnav:///dev/rdisk1'
The interesting thing is that the DVD shows fine on my MacBook's desktop, I can open it and when I copy the VIDEO_TS -folder on my hard disk I can play it with no problems with either DVD-player or VLC.
So my MacBook can read the disc, it just can't play it - what could be causing this problem?
I have been suggested trying DVD-Rs instead of DVD-RWs, but I don't think this solves the problem, I wanna be able to play RWs too if they work fine on my iMac G4.
The DVDs have also been tested on PowerBook G4 (works fine) and Intel iMac (the same problem as with my MacBook = doesn't work). The DVDs aren't copied, they have material recorded from TV using the Pioneer DVR-520H (the same machine used for burning the DVDs) on them.
I'm able to play normal, rented or bought DVDs on my MacBook. Both machines are running the latest Tiger OS.
Thank you in advance.
