HT5071 Inserting Music files into an Ebook
I'm about to publish a book that will be available on IBooks but I am not publishing via Apple.
I recall seeing a way to insert music files in an Ebook, which is my desire. I'm speaking of music available on Itunes that either the reader can buy or I can possibly insert into the Ebook. Is anyone aware of how to do this?
Hello Sal64,
Indeed, ebooks can play audio.

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2791
Add an audio file
Choose Media from the Widgets pop-up menu in the toolbar.
Drag an audio file from the Finder or the Media Browser to the widget.
In the Interaction pane of the Widget inspector, do any of the following:
Make playback start over when the file finishes playing: Choose an option from the Repeat pop-up menu.
Choose how users play the audio file in the completed book: Select an option under Show Audio As. You can select one of the following:
Button: Readers tap a button to start and stop the audio file. If the file is stopped before it finishes playing, readers tap the audio file again to resume playing the file from where it left off.
Scrubber bar: Readers can use playback controls to play the audio file.
Image: Drag an image to the widget. Readers tap the image to start the audio file. If readers tap again, the file plays from the beginning.
Important: Images can’t be larger than 25 megapixels (5000 x 5000 pixels) or 50 MB.

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG columnYou may have one of a few errors going for you there:
The error says your column in Oracle is a Long not a CLOB, if it is, then make your column a CLOB.
CLOB's are not suppored in all environments and/or all interfaces (specifically Windoz ODBC has a problem).
I believe a DOC (Windoz MS-Word) file is a BLOB, due to formatting characters in the file.
I had a very similar error using Access and trying to do this, but changing to SAS fixed the problem. It could very well be that your version of ODBC/JDBC drivers does not support it properly. -
Consolidating Music Files into Itunes - File Name Invalid/Too Long!
When trying to consolidate music files into my library, I get an error message stating "Failed, The file name was invalid or too long." ????
I have tons of songs and don't know which file name is invalid or too long???hiya!
hmmmm. we're looking for filenames here where the path and the filename has more than 256 characters in it. (at least i believe that's what the path-filename length limit is.)
possibly the easiest way to check for that is to use a spreadsheet like excel.
right-click your library in your itunes sourcelist, and select "export songlist ...". save it as a .txt file.
open the .txt file with Excel (or whatever spreadsheet application you have on the PC). the column with the path-filename in it is the one to the extreme right (you can delete the other columns and resize them to make looking for things a bit easier).
scroll through that looking for extremely long path-filenames.
can you track down some that seem to be above the length limit?

ok so to cut a long story short my itunes account was on a laptop that broke, managed to get photo and music file backed up onto hard drive.
Can i just log into my itunes account on a new pc to sync andbackup my iphone? or do i need to transfer my music file into the account?
Really need some help!
I have an iphone, Ipod and the account on the old laptop."I don't have the old computer. It overheated and literally melteddown!"
This is why it has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.
Did you fail to do this?
"I have been talked through a back up process of the itouch music on to the new laptop before, but can't remember how to do it. Any ideas on this process."
Again.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. the only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get non-itunes purchased music from the ipod. -
How do I insert one file into another with track changes intact?
I gather that Pages does not have a way to insert a file into a document in the way that Word has insert file. So all we can do is copy an entire document and then paste it into the second document. But when I do that I lose the track changes, except for the odd comment. What is the way around this?
I'm assuming you're wanting to insert the contents of one Pages document into another. I don't have a need to use tracking, so I'm not sure if this applies but I think it should.
You can insert sections from one Pages document into another. Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. If you want to insert the other content into the middle of a section in the receiving document, you will need to insert section breaks at the point you want to insert. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not. -
Hi,
I tried inserting PDF file into a CLOB column , in the below example l_bfile is a bfile datatype.
and I'm inserting l_bfile to CLOB column.
l_bfile := bfilename('C:\test', 'test.pdf');
But It is throwing below error:
ORA-06550: line 9, column 42:

Urgent - pls help - Problem while inserting binary file into Oracle DB
Hi,
I am trying to insert binary files into a Blob column in a Oracle 10G table.
The binary files would be uploaded by the web users and hence come as multipart request. I use apache commons upload streaming API to handle it. Finally i am getting a input stream of the uploaded file.
The JDBC code is
PreparedStatement ps=conn.prepareStatement("insert into bincontent_table values(?)");
ps.setBinaryStream(1,inStream,length);
My problem starts when i try to find the length of the stream. available() method of inputstream does not return the full length of the stream. so i put a loop to read thru the stream and find the length as shown below
int length=0;
while((v=inStream.read())!=-1)
length++;
Now, though i got the length, my stream pointer has reached the end and i cant reset it(it throws an error if i try).
So i copied the stream content to a byte array and created an ByteArrayInputStream like this.
tempByteArray=new byte[length];
stream.read(tempByteArray,0,length);
ByteArrayInputStream bais=new ByteArrayInputStream(tempByteArray);
Now if i pass this bytearray input stream instead of the normal input stream to the prepared statement's setBinaryStream() method it throws an error as
"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested".
Now how to solve this?
My doubts are ,
1) preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex, InputStream x, int length) expects an inputstream and its length. if i have the stream how to find its length with out reading the stream?
2) Also as the length parameter is a integer, what if i have a large binary file whose length runs more than the capacity of integer
3) Alternatively there is a setBlob(int i, Blob x) in prepared statement. But how to instantiate a Blob object and set it here
4) Is there any better way to do this.
Thanks in advance"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion
requested".When the setBinaryStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGVARBINARY or a BLOB (reference: javadoc)
1) preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex,
InputStream x, int length) expects an inputstream and its length. if i
have the stream how to find its length with out reading the stream?no. stream may have no specified length. i think you have wrong understanding about stream.
2) Also as the length parameter is a integer, what if i have a large
binary file whose length runs more than the capacity of integer
3) Alternatively there is a setBlob(int i, Blob x) in prepared statement.
But how to instantiate a Blob object and set it here
4) Is there any better way to do this.use ps.setBlob(1, instream) instead -
I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?
Hi markm11762689,
When you insert pages, you can determine whether they go before or after the first or last page, or a page number that you specify.
If you're inserting multiple files at once, they will all be inserted in the same spot that you specify in the Select File to Insert dialog box.
There may be a way to handle this programmatically, and there are some very clever folks who visit these forums regularly. Let's see if they chime in...
Best,

Slideshow - How to insert music file between two existing files.
I have a lengthy slideshow with different music files dropped into the background (that is, they display behind the images when in Slideshow Split View). I need to insert an audio file between two of these background music files, but Aperture is not allowing it. Removing all of the music files (1 hour slideshow) and re-adding them is not an appealing option.
Certainly we should be able to rearrange (or insert) background music without have to remove all existing music and reapplying? Or, is this, in fact, not possible presently?IFF you legally own the tune, you may be able to do it, but using a computer and iTunes to sync the devices.

Insert XML file into Relational database model - no XMLTYPE!
Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Cheers.
Luc.
Edited by: user6693852 on Jan 13, 2009 7:02 AMIn case you decide to follow my advice, here's a simple example showing how to do this.. (Note the XMLTable syntax is the preferred approach in 10gr2 and later..

SQL>Out of interest why are you so against using XMLType...
Edited by: mdrake on Jan 13, 2009 8:25 AM -
Insert XML file into Relational database model without using XMLTYPE tables
Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Constraints : Input via XML files defined by third party
Storage : relational database model with hundreds of tables and thousands of existing queries that can not be touched. The model must not be altered.
Target : get this XML into the database on a daily basis via an automated process.
Cheers.
Luc.Luc,
your Doomed !
If you would try something like DBMS_XMLSTORE, you probably would be into serious performance problems in your case, very fast, and it would be very difficult to manage.
If you would use a little bit of XMLType stuff, you would be able to shred the data into the relational model very fast and controlable. Take it from me, I am one of those old geezers like Mr. Tom Kyte way beyond 40 years (still joking). No seriously. I started out as a classical PL/SQL, Forms Guy that switched after two years to become a "DBA 1.0" and Mr Codd and Mr Date were for years my biggest hero's. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Tom Kyte for all his efforts for bringing the concepts manual into the development world. Just to name some off the names that influenced me. But you will have to work with UNSTRUCTURED data (as Mr Date would call it). 80% of the data out there exists off it. Stuff like XMLTABLE and XML VIEWs bridge the gap between that unstructured world and the relational world. It is very doable to drag and drop an XML file into the XMLDB database into a XMLtype table and or for instance via FTP. From that point on it is in the database. From there you could move into relational tables via XMLTABLE methods or XML Views.
You could see the described method as a filtering option so XML can be transformed into relational data. If you don't want any XML in your current database, then create an small Oracle database with XML DB installed (if doable 11.1.0.7 regarding the best performance --> all the new fast optimizer stuff etc). Use that database as a staging area that does all the XML shredding for you into relational components and ship the end result via database links and or materialized views or other probably known methodes into your relational database that isn't allowed to have XMLType.
This way you would keep your realtional Oracle database clean and have the Oracle XML DB staging database do all the filtering and shredding into relational components.
Throwing the XML DB option out off the window beforehand would be like replacing your Mercedes with a bicycle. With both you will be able to travel the distance from Paris to Rome, but it will take you a hell of lot longer.

New to Imac,music file into itunes
Hi,Transferred my itunes folder from pc into new imac, using dvd,added to library,i drag file into itunes and it does nothing, sorry very new to this
It would be easier to answer if you use the word "iTunes" to refer to the application, and "songs" to refer to the tracks themselves, otherwise it is confusing.
The reason why iTunes still "sees" your songs is that the database files are still there even if you manually trashed the songs themselves. You need to start over IF you added no NEW music in iTunes on the new machine :- trash the iTunes folder in Music on the new iMac (iTunes should not be running).
Next, link the two computers via their FireWire ports, then start the old iMac in Target Disk Mode (hold the T key down while it is booting). The old iMac will then appear on your new iMac's desktop. Start iTunes on your new iMac, check "Copy songs to iTunes..." in Preferences. Then using Add to Library... point to your old Music Folder which is in the old iMac (and which you can access just as if it was an external HD).
If you had Protected (DRM) tracks on the old computer, you will need to Authorise your new machine in iTunes in order to play them.
