I open .mpg file using QT and there is sound...NONE in FCP

I have an MPEG2 file on the computer, and opening it in Quicktime there is sound accompaning it, like it should be. When I drag the clip into FCP, there is no sound? What is going on here? What can i do to get the sound back? I checked the properties and the audio is demuxed under QT.

It probably means you have a muxed (multiplexed) file. Use a program like MPEG Streamclip to demux the file and convert it to an editable format before importing it into FCP.
MPG is a delivery format - not an editing format.

How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe???

How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe and not in the browser?

You need Acrobat Reader as a Safari plug in.

When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder. Why?

When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder. Why? I have a heirarchical embedded folder structure under \Documents. Usually, as I drag the file to be moved over the various folders, they will blink twice, then expand/open to reveal contents (in Finder). Now, when the file to be moved is held (hovering) over the destination folder, it will not blink or expand, so there's no place to drop the file. If I release the mouse button, the file image disappears, showing that it is "going back to the place it came from", a.k.a. was not moved. This just started happening. I noticed it after upgrading to Mavericks. Is this a bug or could anything else be causing this?

As of today, Apple Support discovered during a remote support session with me that the same thing happens on their own system. It is isolated to "Column View"; the Icon and List views in Finder behave correctly. Issue is being escalated to engineering, and Apple will call to report status in a couple days. In all likelihood, this is a bug that will need to be addressed in a future update.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.

Opening External Files using SWF

Hi all,
Is there a way to open external files using swf? I have gone
through a number of forums and all seem to tell me to open with a
window projector. my problem is, I need to embed the swf into a
html to be viewed online... So I need to do it in swf format.
Any ideas?

When you say 'external files' I presume you mean local files
on the users hard drive.
If that's true:
When you say 'open' what do you mean? It could mean to open
and load a text file/xml file or another swf in flash or it could
mean to launch a document in its native application e.g. .doc
launches word etc. Flash projectors can do the first thing, but not
the second thing. And you need to know the path of the file because
I don't believe you can retreive it from the filereference browsing
support. 3rd party tools are necessary to really add a lot of file
system support to projector applications, and then you can do both
things mentioned here, without the limitations of flash player
security which is only slightly reduced with regular projector
files.
The filereference class in flash is primarily for
upload/download support. You can't 'open' local files with it.
There is, to my current knowledge, no way you can do that with
flash in a html page directly.
The only way I can think that it might be possible (untested)
would be to have a separate local MS Office (or any other host for
a flash activex that gives filesystem access) with some embedded
flash in a document that (perhaps) could talk via local connection
with your html page content and which would in turn talk to its VBA
host to request local file system activity. I don't know if this
would work because I've not used localconnection, but perhaps it
might.

How to open a file using OAF

Hi,
I want to open a file using OAF. I know the path and file name.
How can I open it, if file is in UNIX or in windows, where ever.
Is there any way to do that.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Ankur,
I had something link this requirement, that also for a concurrent program output only, but the output was txt file, and make it a zip file and give a dynamic link and open it.
For that i used the following code, may be it will help.
String zipout = pageContext.getParameter("ZIPOUT");
if(zipout!=null && zipout.equals("Y"))
try
DataObject sessionDictionary = (DataObject) pageContext.getNamedDataObject("_SessionParameters");
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) sessionDictionary.selectValue(null, "HttpServletResponse");
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) sessionDictionary.selectValue(null, "HttpServletRequest");
String requestID = pageContext.getParameter("REQUESTID");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","p; filename=CatExtract"+requestID+".zip");
response.setContentType("application/x-zip-compressed");
ZipOutputStream zip = new ZipOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
try
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
//to get the value of output directory
String fileName = "/o"+requestID+".out";
Serializable[] parameters = { requestID };
//Get the output URL for this requests output.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).invokeMethod("getOutputURL", parameters);
String outputURL = (String)pageContext.getTransactionValue("OutputURL");
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"outputURL in the xxt CO"+outputURL,1);
try
URL fileURL = new URL(outputURL);
URLConnection urlConn = fileURL.openConnection();
DataInputStream out = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream());
try
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zip.putNextEntry(entry);
while ((bytesRead = out.read(buffer)) != -1)
zip.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
zip.closeEntry();
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(entry.getName(), " added.",1);
catch (Exception ex)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"Exception 113"+ex,1);
finally
out.close();
catch (IOException ex)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"Exception 124"+ex,1);
System.out.println("Exception 124 "+ex);
Thanks.

Opening MPG files in Final Cut Pro?

Am I correct in saying that you cannot open MPG files in Final Cut Pro? We have Studio 2 and Studio 3.
From my previous experiences, we have always had to transcode to an MOV in Squeeze or some other program. I guess Compressor would do it too.
We have a client that has 20 hours of footage in MPEG. Yes, I said 20 HOURS! It's low-res, but if my thoughts are correct, we'll have to transcode all of it. I don't know what exact flavor of mpeg the source is in, but regardless...that should take a **** of a lot of time. We only have a quad core with 6 gigs of RAM.
Any thoughts? Would really appreciate it.

Which flavor of MPG are you referring to?
----- MPEG1?
As recommended above, Premiere Pro will allow you to import and edit MPEG1. Adobe makes a 30 day trial version available if you don't have it already with one of their bundles (or maybe it's time to get the Production Bundle and work After Effects and Photoshop into your workflow?)
You could also find a utility that demultiplexes MPEG1; however, you'd probably want to convert it to Photo-JPEG at something close to 320x240 in frame size. You'll have to create a custom Easy Setup and/or Sequence setting. You could start with OfflineRT NTSC and change the compression amount from 35% to 100%.
If you're not going the Premiere route, search Google for "How To Demux/transcode/convert Mpg on Mac" and some options will come back.
Also, if you have Roxio Toast, it might be able to do the conversion for you.
But, with all that said, the only time I use Premiere Pro is when I have to cut MPEG1.
MPEG1 is meant for viewing video on a computer and/or devices that support MPEG1 at "VHS" quality. Or, simply put, this is almost the worst possible source video you could be given. (I'd put Photo-JPEG video streams from early point and shoot still cameras just below it. But then again, those would be easier to try to edit at first only to have the picture completely break apart when you try to export it). Two decades ago, MPEG1 was awesome, but even then you encoded it from an edited master that was on something better than VHS.
If you can find some hardware that will play MPEG1 out via S-Video, it's probably worth patching that to a DV media converter or DV camcorder and pass that through to FCP at DV-NTSC settings.
----- MPEG2?
The MPEG2 QuickTime component should already be installed via Final Cut Studio, allowing you to open MPEG2 streams directly into FCP; however, you'll probably be better off batch converting from MPEG2 to DV-NTSC and then cutting at the DV-NTSC easy setup.
----- HDV (MPEG2 codec for picture and MPEG1 Layer 2 codec for sound)?
I'd guess this isn't the type of MPEG you're talking about based on your post. Also, this is, of course, supported in both versions of the studio that you have.

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You are in the wrong forum; You actually need Photoshop forum at this link:

Hope you can repost your question at the correct link.

Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

Open pdf file using ms access visual basic 2000 (9.0.2720)

I'm using Acrobat reader to open pdf file using a vb proceedure , how ever I can't get it to open a specific file thats in another file folder.
The code I'm using looks like the following: This is windows 7, using the (x86) virtual in 32 bit mode.
Private Sub Form_Click()
'checks for valid msds document
Dim fs As FileSearch
Dim stAppName As String
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_form_Click
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
             .NewSearch
            .LookIn = "c:\program files (x86)\cvmm\msds\"
            .FileName = Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
            .MatchTextExactly = True
If .Execute() <> 0 Then
                    stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\program files(x86)\cvmm\msds\" & Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                      Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
           End If
                 End With
exit sub
Err_form_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
         Resume Exit_form_Click
Exit_form_Click:
        MsgBox " no file found."
End Sub
This used to work when I was using acrobat 5.0,

You should have quotes around a filename that has spaces in it. Older versions were more forgiving for some reason.
Much better anyway is to use ShellExecute, which means you don't have to know or care what PDF reading software is installed and how to run it.

How to search for files using wildcards * and ?.

Hi All,
I've been searching the forum for a couple of hours now and have been unable to find a good example of how to search a directory (Windows OS) for a file using wildcards * and/or ?. Does anyone out there have a good example that they can share with me?
Thanks

Hi All,
First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond to my question. All of your responses where greatly appreciated.
I took the example code that was posted by rkconner, thanks rkconner, and modified it to allow me to search for files in a directory that contain * and/or ?. Yes, I said and/or! Meaning that you can use them both in the same file name, example: r??d*.t* would find readme.txt.
I've posed my complete and thoroughly document code below. I hope it is very helpful to other as I have searched many forums and spent many hours today trying to resolve this problem.
Enjoy
* File Name: WildcardSearch.java
* Date: Jan 9, 2004
* This class will search all files in a directory using the
* asterisk (*) and/or question mark (?) as wildcards which may be
* used together in the same file name. A File [] is returned containing
* an array of all files found that match the wildcard specifications.
* Command line example:
* c:\>java WildcardSearch c:\windows s??t*.ini
* New sWild: s.{1}.{1}t.*.ini
* system.ini
* Command line break down: Java Program = java WildcardSearch
*                          Search Directory (arg[0]) = C:\Windows
*                          Files To Search (arg[1]) = s??t*.ini
* Note: Some commands will not work from the command line for arg[1]
*        such as *.*, however, this will work if you if it is passed
*        within Java (hard coded)

Transfering files using drag and drop to Nano P

I havent installed the supplied disks that came with my Nano Plus but am transfering files using drag and drop from "my music" folder on my computer to the Nano. These files are stored on my computer as the Name of the Artist as the folder name with a sub folder named the CD title (default setting when using Windows media to rip) with the individual track files in that folder.
When I drag the main folder over to my Nano it just displays the Album title on the screen but not by artist and there is no way to select by artist (you can just switch "folders" on the Nano which will then display the CD title. If I used the supplied software with my Nano to transfer the files will I be able to choose by artist, CD, Genre, etc or is this not a function of the Nano?
Is it best to just select the individual song tracks and throw them in one large group on the Nano and then it can figure out which artist, album, genre they belong to?

The player will only show directories that contain music files.
The behaviour you want is common on players that manage their content with a database (typically HD-based devices), but Creative's flash players don't work that way (and the software used on the host computer doesn't have any influence on this - the user interface is controlled by the player's firmware).
