Import only creates track names? Also track file size is incorrect?

I bought a new external Sony DRX-830U and when it imports I only get the track name and related artwork. The file size is about 50K, which is the track name info. It reports that the track length is some rediculious length, like 789:xx:xx, etc.
It is plugged in via USB, as is my external drive, which is where my iTunes music folder resides.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, plus a variety of other things.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks...

Itunes import only missing tracks

When I imported my CD library into iTunes, I had limited disk space, so I only imported tracks that I like. Now that I have a larger hard drive, I'd like to import the rest of those tracks. Is there any easy way to import only missing tracks, leaving the previously-imported tracks (and their ratings and play counts) alone? If I have to manually check each album to see which tracks are already existing, it'll be a huge undertaking.

Just reimport the entire CD. It'll ask if you want to replace the tracks already imported.
Click Yes.
This won't change anything (playcounts, ratings) or anything else.

Import Only First Track

I tried importing a CD as MP3 yesterday, and only the first track was actually imported -- the rest of the tracks appeared in the list of files created, but each was 2K in size, with no content.
When I went to another computer and did the same, it worked fine. Both machines are using Vista ... I am a bit surprised, and would like to know if there is any specific setting that might cause this, or if perhaps there is something that someone knows about that is an issue ... it would be frustrating to have to use the other machine when I will be using the MP3s on the other ...

Your notebook PC probably has different hardware & different drivers. You can mess around trying to fix it, or as Vixen suggested, just rip your CDs using WMP as MP3 files and add them to the itunes library.
If you want AAC or AIFF files, you'll have to figure out itunes & the drivers.

Create folder, name it after file, then drop said file into folder

Apologies if this has already been covered, but I could not seem to find the answer.
I currently have 1000+ files in one MASTER folder.
I want to create a folder for each file with the same name as the file, and have that file dropped in the new folder, nested within MASTER.
Preferably, I would also like this triggered when a new file of a certain type is dropped into the MASTER folder.
Seems simple enough, but I can't quite figure it out.
Thanks.

Hi mcmachete, and a warm welcome to the forums!
First of all it's very bad practice to have a File & a Folder of the same name in the same path, can you devise another method that will satisfy tour requirements?
AS far as a new file being added to a folder...

Why does dragging an imported video into a project reduce the file size by half?

I used a Canon Vixia HV40 to import 1 hour of HD video filmed using 24F and cina mode. My import and project properties were as follows:widescreen (16x9, 24F, cinema, import size = full, original size.
The specifications for the imported file are as follows/:
Size: 22.12GB
Dimensons: 1920 x 1080
Codec: Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM
Color Profile: HD(1-1-1)
Audio Channels: 2
Total Bit Rate: 47,113
When I drag the imported file into a new project, the resulting .mov file has the following specifications:
Size: 9.67GB (approx half the size)
Dimensions 1920 x 1080 (same)
Codec: H.264, AAC (different)
Color Profile: HS(1-1-1) (same)
Audio Channels: 2 (same)
Total Bit Rate: 20,607 (approx half)
What causes the file size reduction and bit rate reduction? Is it a result of the different codec? Is there any corresponding loss of video quality that results from the conversion?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Thanks a lot for your quick and detailed response!
Maximum image quality and file size are not the same thing, for a start.
Yes, but with JPG's they tend to be correlated, aren't they?
When you view a photo in iPhoto it's a composite of the original and the decisions recorded, and applied live as you view.
Oh, I always thought iPhoto makes a copy of the orginial and modfies that ...
If you want to use that photo for something then you have to export it. This make a new file with your photo in it. When you export you have a lot of options - including ones that will make the filesize bigger than the original. This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Ah, that is cool. That solves my problem.
If you use drag and drop from the iPhoto Window that's a form of exporting too -but you have no options there. You get the iPhoto Preview. That's a 'handy-good-enough-for-most-things version of the shot. If you want more options use the export command.
That's what I tripped over. (I used the email feature from within iPhoto for a quick sharing ...)
Thanks, G.

Adding Click Tags to Flash and also reducing file size?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to add a Click Tag to a Flash movie?
I have the file finished but they require Click Tags added to each file.
Also my file is currently around 100kb and they need it under 30kb (last time they got someone to reduce my file to 30kb from 110kb), so Im sure this can be done but not quite sure how. I am using Flash CS4,
thanks,
Paul

I would recommend going to 15 if you are going to play with frame rate.
If you want to know how data rate effects the size
double-click the setting for your movie
look at the inspector
Under the summary tab compressor show you how big the file size will be at _ data rate etc.
Changing the data rate will be reflected here.
When a client doesn't want a file over 15mb I use this tool to know and understand how data rate and other settings effect the overall file. This works for h.264 but may not be the same for every setting.

10.4.3 File Size Shown Incorrectly in Finder Window

Tiger 10.4.3 --- Sometimes file sizes don't display correctly in Finder windows. For example, I was just downloading a bunch of large files from an FTP site. They were all 44.1Mb in size. After they finished DL'ing, some of the file sizes showed a much smaller file size. But cmd-I on those files and the correct size is displayed.
Some of these files show up with the correct size, but only after waiting a loooong time...
Can anyone tell me why don't file sizes show up correctly? Or immediately? Any help will be appreciated!

Is this causing any problems, or is it just a quirky behavior? For example, if you change to list view and sort by date, does it still get the dates wrong?
I'm thinking this is probably a really marginal bug, where Composer isn't telling the Finder to refresh the date as most applications do, but then, Mozilla does a lot of unMaclike things. Eventually the Finder figures out that the files have been updated though. There are probably a host of ways you can force it to update, as you've already discovered. You can also force it to update with a simple AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
update every item of window 1
end tell
This tells the Finder to update everything in the frontmost window to match what's on the disk.

Error received when trying to import/only one track at a time...

When I go to import my cd into iTunes it is only letting me import one track at a time. Also occasionally I getting this error when I try to import a track. "The file 'xxxxx.cda' cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file." What's with this? Any help/suggestions?

XML import only creates one record at a time

Hi All,
I have an XML import map that automatically imports data into main product table. It's working fine when the XML file has only one main record. When it has more than one record, the import manager and import server can only import the last record in the file and skip the rest.
I already checked the record matching tab. It correctly shows that all records will be created and 0 will be skipped. Even the log file indicates all records are created after I execute the map. Yet, when I try to look for them in the data manager, I can only find the last one. If I execute the map with the exact same file again, it will create one more record again and skip the rest.
Someone else posted the same question a while back: Import map issue one record at a time. But it was never answered. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a MDM bug?
Thanks,
Kenny

I uninstalled 3.6.13 tried to install 4 9 beta... it only created folders and made some files...missing many files. Tried to reinstall 3.0, 3.6, 4 4, 4 9... same result no complete install...

my copy of 3.6.13 was getting overcrowded with add ons and plugins and heavy bookmarks and I wanted a clean slate so I uninstalled 3.6 completely... I then tried to download the 4 beta...installer ran quit without errors and then left me with empty start menu folder and half empty program files folder...missing lots of necessary files including firefox exe...I tried downloading an older version 3.0 of firefox...then 3.6.13 again... then a 4 4 beta release then the mozilla site 4 9 beta again... every one did the same thing... what would cause this?

Matt,
I am glad (well not glad, it sucks but I'm glad I'm not alone) to hear you are experiencing the same thing. I have literally tried everything to get this to work. I even took a brand new laptop out of the box and Adobe was the only thing I installed. I can usually follow other posts and fix issues but I am stumped and WAY aggrivated. I love the concept as does my editing team but I'm in charge of installing and updating 5 PC's and my team is now aggrivated that they can't get what they need to do their jobs. Even if you download the trials, you don't get everything you need for the whole cloud process. Not to mention we all need updates badly and really need to start using Edge Animate.

Imported iPhoto pictures show as slightly smaller file size than they did i

I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture (just about all JPEGs). It seems like Aperture reads each file as slightly smaller than iPhoto does -- for instance, 6.7 MB in iPhoto but 6.42 in Aperture. Is this just a function of how each program reads the file, or does the quality of the file become reduced by virtue of being copied into Aperture?

Sharon,
My guess is that it is merely a difference in how the programs show you the size. 1 Kbyte is 1024 bytes, and 1 Mbyte is 1024 KBytes. Some people (even real computer scientists) want to claim that those numbers should be 1000 instead of 1024. Some people claim that a capital letter or a lower case letter changes the meaning of the abbreviation, too.
If your file is 6.42 MBytes (for real), this is 6731857 bytes. If you do the "fake" math, 6731857/1000/1000 is 6.7.

Import only a procedure or functions from a dump file

helllo
i have an entire dump file of a database.and i want to import only two procedures from the dump file.i am using oracle 9i.
suppose AFRES.DMP is the dump file and CALC_PENSION is the package i want to import from AFRES.DMP to my PRIME database.
Regards sourav

What I'd do is import (with ROWS=N) the schema containing the packages you want into a new schema, then copy the things you want to your destination schema. I think this is the only way to do this selectively.
Cheers,
Colin

Importing only packages

Hi Friends,
     I need to know whether there is possibility of importing only packages from an exported dump file into another database.
If yes,kindly tell me how to do.
The problem is I want to retrieve the older version of the package now as we dont have the backup of the same.
Regards,
Marlon

Just a couple of warnings.
1) On AIX and Oracle 9.2.0.7 I tried this and had to redirect stderr, rather than stdin (ie filed descriptor 2, not 1):
imp user/password file=myfile.dmp fromuser=EXPORTUSER touser=IMPORTUSER show=Y rows=N 2>showfile.txt2) The package text is in the form:
"CREATE PACKAGE package_test AS"
"      FUNCTION test_fun(p_test_param IN VARCHAR2)"
"              RETURN NUMBER;"
... etcso you are going to need to strip the leading and trailing double quotes (eg using sed, awk, or your favourite editor macro).
HTH

PS thanks Jens, I knew about indexfile but not about show...

Hi,
You can use the already available adapter module "DynamicConfigurationBean". Have this adapter module at the top of the module list in CC.
Have the parameter value as insert http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File FileName and http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File SourceFileSize (corresponding to the key names)

How to create a button to get File Open popup window and select a file

Hi,
I have an applet that contains Browse button. When user clicks on that, a File Open popup window should be displayed to enable user to select the input file. This file path should be given back as parameter.
How to do this? I have tried using LoadFileData but not able to get the desired result.
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks,
Lalitha Dandibotla

Do you need only the path or also the file back into Siebel?
If you need both, the have a look at any attachment applet, that will give you a good start.
Are you using Siebel in High Interactivity (HI) Mode or Standard Interactivity (SI) Mode?
If you are in SI Mode have a look at the html type
