Import format and/or digital copy protection issues

I'm new to the iTunes thing recently purchasing two 3gs iPhones. I have several hundred CD's ripped to FLAC format on a NAS device. When I add the networked folder to my iTunes it seems to read the directory and then add nothing to the library. I have even ripped these in .aac format and I get the same response.
I am now assuming that iTunes is rejecting them because they weren't ripped using iTunes. Cany anyone confirm that for me?
If I do go to the trouble of ripping them again will I be able to share them out to multiple devices? In my case a laptop and two iPhones.
Thanks in advance for the guidance.

iTunes will not care whether a track was ripped using iTunes or another application, only that the track is in a format iTunes can accept, which does not include FLAC. It should work with standard AAC files, , though,so I can only guess that the utility you used isn't creating standard AAC. What did you use to do the ripping?
As to sharing, yes, you can sync iTunes with multiple iPhones.

New MacBook containsa form of digital copy protection - TRUE?

I was told that Apple's new MacBook lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its DisplayPort-enabled MacBook lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
Will this mean that if I purchase legitimate Video/Movies form Apple I will no longer be able to play them on Windows OS, PS3, XBox etc?, I hope not?

Right you are guys, thank you so much for responding!
I found out today that if HDCP was my problem I would still be able to mirror my desktop onto my TV, ie my samsung LN32A450, but I can not. The adaptor works on many other things as I mentioned above but not my TV.
I have been speaking with Samsung today and they have no information about the issue other then sending a technician to my house to have a look and if it's not the TV's fault then I will be charged for the service.
So summary;
Apple = no advice
Samsung = no advice
MDP-VGA company = apple = no advice
Therefore I must trial and error it.
I checked for updated firmware for the TV, placed the file onto a flash drive and inserted into my TV driver was up to date .: no results also no updates for the macbook.
I went to futureshop and tried running my macbook on a samsung 450 series (same as mine) and a 550 series (next step up) and same thing, no video on the TV.
I then moved to a toshiba and it worked instantly, as well when I checked with tech support on campus they brought me to the campus computer store down the hall and we hooked it up to the toshiba in there and it worked right a way.
macbook +MDP-VGA + PC computer monitor = works
macbook +MDP-VGA + projector = works
macbook +MDP-VGA + toshiba HDTV = works
macbook MDP-VGA LG HDTV= doesn't work
macbook +MDP-VGA + samsung HDTV = doesn't work
I have been trying really hard to figure this out with no resolve and it's been terrible, If you guys can figure out this riddle you are doing better then me, Samsung, and Apple combined.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and sorry for the comment about waiting for 10.6, I meant it would be brutal to have to wait for the next OS or replace my macbook again just to get this to work.
It might just be your Samsung TV being compliant to HDCP but not DPCP (Display Port Content Protection) which your Toshiba TV might be.

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video-.with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true?

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video….with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true? Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?

yes and no!
using the intended Import from Camera routines, iM converts automatically in its very own AppleIntermediateCodec. so, answer is yes.
but …
a) Apple claims , aic is non-lossy intermediate codec. working with proRes in FCPX taught me, there are even less non-lossy-ness codecs
b) iM offers an Archive feature, which is basically a simple Finder/copy operation which 'clones' your SDcards content into some folder on your harddrive; e.g. you can later use these untouched 'raws' in another editor such as FCPX. so, answer is no.
c) when you 'override' the import routines by manually re-wrapping mts into a mov container, iM handles the 'native' h264s ... so, answer is no.
d) adding any effect, transition etc. reduces any interlaced source to 540p. (if you're working with 720p source, res is kept) … so, answer is yes. or, in 720p case, no.
< Johnny Depp's voice >… savvy?
Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?
via Import from Camera? No.
via re-wrapped mts>>mov? I was told yes, some say no.
one thing to be kept in mind when talking about these 'issues':
iM, this 12€, is meant as a CONSUMER toy tool.
it supports AVCHD vers1 (=no 1080/60p, no >24Mbps, no 3D).
fingers crossed, we'll see soon some iM/QT/FCPX update for support of AVCHD v2 ........
the main consumer devices are within the specs, iM supports.
using professional equipments makes usage of professional software (FCPX, AP) optional.
sorry for lengthy answer.

Import format and scripts

Hi,
I have been testing an import script in a location but it kept showing me an import error message. Now I had only slightly modified a script from another location which i wrote a couple weeks ago so I was pretty sure I was working in the right direction.
However since the persistent import error messages, i tried copying the exact script that works well in the first location and pasted it in the other location just to see if it performs the same way. I changed the name of the script and the functions name within the script. However, stragely but to my consolation It still shows the same error message. The import files/extract files are identical and now even the scripts are identical but it works in one location and not in the other.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Andy.

Perhaps the script isn't the error with that location and something else is or it's something in the load file that is exposing a flaw in the code.
Any chance you can share the error or the code? Would help a lot.

What is your preferred import format and why?

Just curious as to what people like to use for importing information into PowerShell. It obviously depends on the format of the information, like lists, single text fields and lists of lists.

Thanks, Fred, this is actually for a new user script. I recently migrated our old new user script from VB to Powershell and things seem to be working ok with it, but it's time to expand it a bit and do automatic group provisioning. Each department is going
to send me a list of AD groups each new user should be added to for file/folder access and security and I was wondering the best format for those lists to be in. I was personally thinking have each list be a separate "text" file with each group on
a separate line and just import them as CSVs. What do you think?
Thanks.
[email protected]
That is not a CSV. THe usual and easiest method is to have thembuild an Excel Workbook with users listed by group:
Example:
UserID, Group
jsmith, users1
jsmith, users2
ljones, users1
ljones,users4
This would be easiest to loop through and should be easy to build. THis would be a SCSV or can be read directly out of an Excel WB.
If you want simple text then forget CSV
Use this:
jsmith, group, group2, group3
Now read oneline
and split
Get-Content usergroups.txt |
$userID,$groups = $_ -split ','
# process user
Now you have the userid and an array of groups.

FDM Fixed-Width Import Format & Multiple Accounts/Periods Issue

Hi FDM experts,
I have an issue that I wanted to reach out to you on regarding fixed-width import formats and how to cater for my current scenario for export to Hyperion Planning.
I am working with a flat file (.txt) I need to import to FDM with the current format;
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Z
Year
Channel
Product
Jan-MTD-Account 1
Jan-MTD-Account 2
Jan-YTD-Account1
Jan-YTD-Account2
Dec-YTD-Account2
2013
Channel_1
Product_1
1000
2000
1000
2000
10000
These are all fixed in width so the field lengths will need to be defined in the import format. The requirement for loading to the system is only a speciifc Month YTD value for both Account1 and Account 2.
If my chosen Month is 2013 Jan, I will only require columns F and G to be loaded. These are the issues I have identified;
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to multiple accounts in the same file? Or would I need a separate import format per account?
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to a variable Actual Month period? Or do I need 12 import formats/locations per month?
Your help is much appreciated!
Many thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
the solution you are looking for needs pivoting your source file.
Think that FDM, by default, only accepts files with one single column for amount. You have to pivot your file based on your logic and import the pivoted file.
For example:
Year     Channel     Product     ... Jan-YTD-Acc1     Jan-YTD-Acc2 ...
2013     CH1          PR1               1000                    2000
If your POV is Jan-2013, your data imported will look like:
Year     Channel     Produc     Account     Amount
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC1          1000
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC2          2000
All this process can be automated by playing with Import Scripts.

Can I get a new download for the special features?

andrewfromcarmel,
I experienced a similar issue with 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.
Several questions:
1. What version of iTunes are you using?
2. Is your iTunes library located on a network drive or a local drive?
3. What error are you getting during the download?
4. Do you have the ability to try and download the extras file on a different computer?
Regards,

Fillable forms question - FrameMaker to PDF - Without losing copy protection options

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution that will allow us to integrate fields in a Chapter Review-style question area where users can comment their answers (instead of using StickyNotes). It must disallow printing/copying etc to meet content protection requirements. I've dug through all of my options and can't seem to find any viable method without allowing the "Edit Content" option which allows users to copy the content.
We're currently using FrameMaker 9 but will be jumping to TCS5 soon.
As an example, we would want something like the following question, which exists in a FrameMaker document, to be commented on:
2. Which DID/DNIS mapping is recommended for mapping a single extension?
Thank you in advance for any assistance with this.

> It must disallow printing/copying etc to meet content protection requirements.
ebook format copy protection is largely an illusion. Leaving aside the availability of euphemistically named "password recovery" software, the widespread availability of low-cost (often bundled free) OCR software means: If you can see it, you can recover the text, unless it's heavily CAPTCHA'd.
Even if the user is blocked from reading the computer's frame buffer (i.e., prevented from using the PrintScreen key on Windows), most cell phones now have cameras with more than sufficient resolution for full text recovery. Some users even know how to turn off the flash .
If the supposedly eyes-only document is available on the web, I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that one or more search engines has already OCR'd and indexed every word in it (you can be sure that the NSA's has).
Managers asking for copy protection need to realize that they are making the authoring task much harder for little benefit, and often creating pointless annoyance for end users. Copy protection might briefly deter casual copiers, but is no obstacle at all to anyone the least bit tech savvy.
If copy prevention really matters, each copy of the document needs to be computer-generated for the specific licensed end user, with user-customized, easily traced content.
All that aside, and assuming management can't be dissuaded on the copy protection issue, does TimeSavers support insertion of form fields while preserving security settings?

Multiple FDM Import Formats for One Location

I want to import trial balance data directly from the Oracle Financials database. I'm creating an import integration script to pull the ledgers directly via a SQL statement. My issue is that I also want to be able to write scripts to modify each individual field on the import, similar to a delimited import script where I can have a script for each dimension. Do you know if it's possible to combine import integration and delimited scripts in a single location? I'm guessing it may be a combination of the Import Format and Integration Options settings on the location, but I'm not sure which one should go where. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not possible. Any adjustments to the data would need to be done within the integration script.

FDM - Import Format (Fixed Column Type - No Delimiter)

Hello,
Question on FDM. I've built an import format and successfully imported a Fixed Column type text file. Everything imports beautifully. FYI - The format of the file looks just like a Trial Balance with a column for Debits and one column for Credits. In the import format setup, I am using the DrCrSplit script. Weird thing here is that I noticed it just ignored any of the rows where the balance was over 1 million (but brought everything else in perfectly). I've played with the Start and Length fields to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Good day,
You can add a script as the last item to you amount import format, this will dump the values to a text file which may give you some idea of the issue. Open you file in a hex editor, there may be non printing characters.
Thanks
Function dumpamt(strField, strRecord)
'Declare Local Variables
Dim objFSAppend
Dim objFAppend
Dim strFileAppend
Dim blnCreate
'Initialize the file path
strFileAppend = "\\networkdirectoy\YourFileName.txt"
blnCreate = True
'Open the file system object and create the file
Set objFSAppend = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFAppend = objFSAppend.OpenTextFile(strFileAppend, 8, blnCreate)
'Append Data to File
objFAppend.WriteLine(strField)
'Close the objects
objFAppend.Close
Set objFAppend = Nothing
Set objFSAppend = Nothing
dumpamt = strField
End Function

Import Format script required to work across multiple fields

I am currently constructing an Import Format, and using datapump import scripts on several of the fields to implement specific logic based on the values present. For example:
Function TBNetwork(strField, strRecord)
If Left(strField, 1) = "N" Then
TBNetwork = strField
Else
TBNetwork = "Network N/A"
End If
End Function
However, I need this to also evaluate the values across other fields too, but the default two inputs for the function are strField and strRecord.
How can I achieve this? Can I declare new variables and define as follows?
Dim strCustomer = varValues(23)
Or do I need to look at implementing a different type of script? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

strRecord represents the entire data line from your source file that is currently being processed. You can parse this to get any of the values from your data line to use/evaluate in your script. There is an accelarator script DW.Utilities.fParseString which will do the string parsing for you. As you probably know strField only returns the field from the data file that you have specified in your import format for the associated dimension.

Multiple import formats in one FDM application....?

I wanted to know in my situation where there are 15 EBS Set of Books. whether it is possible to use only 1 FDM application to import all these data into my HFM application.
My ERPi application is like this :
1 source application that is EBS.
1 target application that is HFM.
15 EBS Set of books, for which i think i have to create 15 import formats in ERPi for each set of books. this also implies to the locations.
then I have to do the common period mapping and category mapping.
in the Data load Setup: I have to select each location and do the member mapping. create a data load rule for each location.
FDM Application:
i already have an FDM application which i am using to import data from EBS to HFM using ERPi, till now i have only used 1 set of books just to verify that everything is working fine. now as everything is working fine with the application, I want to add additional import formats in the existing FDM application to answer the import formats and locations created in the ERPi application.
Is it possible to do like this, if so then i need your assistance in achieving this task.
please put your comments in this regards.
Thanks,
Shantan Kommera

You can do this by specifiying the appropriate data load rule to be used by ERPi within Integration Option 1 in the location. This will kick off the data load rule you specify in ERPi that should be tied to the corresponding set of books in EBS.

HT203167 How to get movie back? iTunes crashed after digital copy download.

We bought The Hunger Games blu-ray and digital copy today. My daughter put the digital copy in her iTunes, iTunes crashed before any chance at backup and the digital copy is no longer there and we can't use the code again. How can we get the digital copy???

Turns out it was a silly error. Problem resolved.

I cannot view my digital copy of Monsters University

i purchased Mosters University from the Disney Store. It came with the dvd and a digital copy. I went to their sight punched in the code for the digital copy......it asked me where i would like to view the digital copy...I chose I tunes.........and few seconds later a pop up massage told me my movie is ready to be viewed now on itunes.....I cant seem to find it

From itunes, select "movies" from the dropdown menu (assuming you're running iTunes 11). It should appear there. If that doesn't work, try searching with spotlight for the filename (the magnifying glass in the upper right corner).
