Imported seq. from PPro won't drop into AE comps

I've used this particular workflow literally hundreds of times with CC, but it seems to be broken with CC2014:
Import a PPro sequence, drop it into an existing AE comp, or drag it over the Create Comp button; at that point, I can work with the PPro seq. as if it were footage, adding FX, using it as a BG, etc.
This seems to be broken in CC2014 (or the workflow has changed, and I just can't figure out how to make it work). Dragging the imported seq. over the Create Comp button creates a new comp that's properly sized/spec'd, etc., but the comp itself is empty. Dragging the imported seq into a comp as if it were footage doesn't work (nothing happens); loading the comp in the Footage window shows that there is, indeed, working footage, but hitting the Overlay/Ripple Insert button, again, does nothing.
Am I missing something here? Is there some zany new setting that I don't know about...?

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Importing video from a JVC HD7U camcorder into iMovie 11

I am having trouble importing video from a JVC HD7U camcorder into iMovie 11. The import screen shows up and recognizes the camera with the time counter activating but there is no image on the screen and the record or import buttons do not seem to do anything. I have followed the instructions from the manual and others found online. Someone please help. Terry

Hi Brady,
I have a new Everio HD that I have been fooling with all day. Finally got a clip into iMovie 6 ....but only once and I'm still figuring this out too.....if you are not using a HD camera this may or may not work for you.
The Everio Quicktime extension must be installed. (Download and install the patch if you upgrade to Leopard).
Is your camera an HD? If so you need to capture the clip in 1440 CDR not FHD (FullHighDef).
Launch iMovie 6. Create a new movie in Video format HDV 1080i . then plug in your camera via firewire.
Put the camera in playback mode (Play/REC), press the Function, select Dubbing Playback (bottom of the menu). You should get a menu with a start button now. Switch to iMovie 6 and select "Import". This should start the clip playing from the camera....you may have to hit the Start on the camera.
This should get your clips into i Movie.
We may be ably to create playlists and get them in that way too but I have not had any luck with the JVC instructions to do this. There are video tutorials on the JVC website too but again they have not worked for me.
There is also a way to get and work the FHD files but that is a USB file transfer followed by a file conversion. I'll tackle that a little later...
Good luck,
Roger

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,
Vinod.V

Import data from few tables and export into the same tables on different db

I want to import data from few tables and export into the same tables on different database. But on the target database, additional columns have been added
to the same tables. how can i do the import?
Its urgent can anyone please help me do this?
Thanks.

Hello Junior DBA,
maybe try it with the "copy command".
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b12170/apb.htm
Have a look at the section "Understanding COPY Command Syntax".
Here is an example of a COPY command that copies only two columns from the source table, and copies only those rows in which the value of DEPARTMENT_ID is 30:Regards

Try copying the whold SD card to your desktop by holding down the Option key and dragging the SD card icon about 2 inches away from the where the card sits on the desktop. This should trigger Mac OS to make a copy of the whole SD card onto your Macintosh's desktop. Once it finishes from there, eject the SD card. Reboot your Mac then open iMovie without launching any other programs whatsoever. Go to the File Menu Import Movies from File... And point it at the copy of the SD card and see if it crashes again.

Importing tracks from non-I Tune libraries into I Tunes

I am a recent convert to the world of Ipod, having previously used other mp3 players like Zen Creative and an old Panasonic that operated off Real Player & Real Jukebox software. I would now like to import my old music collection into I-Tunes, but am having major difficulties:
Firstly, whereas Creative Media Organiser allowed me to import tracks from my Shared folder (C:\Program Files\My Shared Folder)in Mp3 or AAC or WMA, I-Tunes will not let me do this. When I open up the Shared folder in I-Tunes it doesn't provide any music file formats in the file format tab - only has .txt and xml which don't bring up the music files that are in there.
Secondly, I-Tunes won't let me 'drag & drop' tracks from my Creative Media library directly into I-tunes.
Thirdly, it doesn't interact with the Real Jukebox software, so I can't access the files stored in there either.
Help! Any Suggestions?

Hi Tracy,
Some of what you have been told is fine, but there is still some confusion going on.
First, when you try to open a file with iTunes, the reason you only see .txt and xml is because the open command is not the one to import music. It's for opening playlists (.txt and xml). To bring in music you want to use the Add to Library command. An easier way is to find the files on your computer, drag them to the iTunes library window,and drop them there. This will import all formats that iTunes can play.
For those files that are in some strange format that iTunes won't play (such as ATRAC or protected WMA) then the other poster is correct, you'll have to burn and Audio CD and re-rip it, but all the other formats will do the drag and drop thing just fine.

Import data from a Fixed Length File into Oracle database

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text file into a table using HTML DB application.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB application so that the user can directly import the data into the table.
Sample data
XXXYYYYZZZZZ
Data should be read to table that has
Col1 Col2 Col3
XXX YYYY ZZZZZ

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text
file into a table using HTML DB application.AFAIK, fixed length imports are not something you can do directly with the HTML DB tools or available APIs.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external
table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB
application so that the user can directly import the
data into the table.Any fixed-length data needs to have a specification associated with it that indicates which character position begins a new column and what each column represents. Some also include what datatype should be used for each of those.
If you really want to do this I would suggest that you create a table that you can store the file spec in. It would probably have columns for field name, start position, length or end position, datatype and any alias/column name you might want to apply. You would then use this table in a PL/SQL procedure (probably a package with the main processing procedure and various supporting procedures/functions) to read the file into memory, apply the file spec to each line and then do inserts into your table.
Obviously, this is just a concept or strategy. Implementing it will depend on your PL/SQL skills and determination. If you want to pursue this strategy I'm sure you can find some jump-starts by doing a search on the PL/SQL forum.
This may not sound like an answer - but the answer is you need to code it to fit your requirements. Hope that helps.

Importing Video From a Sony HVR-Z5E into Adobe Premiere CS5

Hi,
I am importing video from the Sony HVR-Z5E straight into Premiere using the capture option off the file menu but the colour looks completely different to what it looks like on the camera. Why should this be? When I preview the video in the capture window the video looks fine. its just after I have captured it.
OS: Windows 7 x64
RAM: 3 GB
Please HELP??!!??
Many Thanks

Either your camera or your monitor is not properly calibrated. Lucky for you, capturing is just a transfer of digital data without any modification at all, just like copying files from A to B. They do not change in the copy process. So either it is in the eye of the beholder or you monitor is not properly calibrated or you are just imagining things.
Wish you luck with editing HDV on such a system.

How do I import video from my canon vixia hv40 into imovie?

How do I import video from my canon vixia hv 40 into imovie?

First decide which editing program you intend to use; iMovie, FCE, FCP, Adobe Premier, etc. Read the user's manual or Help files for your chosen application to determine the steps needed: the procedure will vary somewhat from application to application.
Next, with the camera and the computer off, connect the Firewire cable to both units, then power up. Set the camera to VTR (play) mode. Open your editing program and follow the instructions provided in the Help files for capturing DV footage from tape.
Do NOT expect the camera to mount on your desktop as if it were a hard drive or optical disc.

Importing Sequences from After Effects CC 2014 into Premiere

Before the update to cc 2014, I was easily able to import After Effects comps into Premiere using "Import" in Premiere. I would select an AE project to import, and it would ask me which sequences inside that project I wanted to import. Worked perfectly. This was just a couple weeks ago.
NOW, I go to import sequences from an AE project and it only shows ONE sequence out of however many I may have. This has happened twice so far. Quitting & reopening both programs didn't do anything. Has something changed with the update?

Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro if the applications are of the same version---i.e., both CC 2014 versions.

Import mails from customized e-mail client into Oultook interface

The client has a customized e-mail client with a web interface.
It is required to import the e-mails and folder structure into Outlook 2013 interface in a separate tab, without connecting the e-mail account to Outlook (as usually connect an yahoo or gmail account).
The import will be made using methods from a web service which provides information like folder structure, From, To, Date etc. The service returns this in DataTable format.
How can I display the e-mails form the custom e-mail client into Outlook interface, using the information from the web service?

How can I display the e-mails form the custom e-mail client into Outlook interface, using the information from the web service?
You're going to have to be a little (lot?) more specific then the info already provided - such as
- You're saying that you have a web service function that can import data directly into Outlook - is that correct? (Suspect the answer is no) so
- Not sure what you mean by "DataTable" format unless you're using programming terminology. If you want to use the standard Outlook import wizard, the data will have to be converted to a CSV file which will restrict you to the fields supported via
that process. Anything else will require a custom developed solution (outside the scope of this forum). If you need programming advice - better forum would be "Outlook for Developers" -
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlookdev
- As for folder structure - that can easily be replicated in Outlook by creating a new PST file and adding any folders as required either manually or programmatically

When trying to import images from an external hard drive into Lightroom 5 it states no preview for the files selected

Go easy on me here….
Trying to import images from external hard drive into Lightroom 5 but the selected images state 'no preview for file'.
All other images on the external hard drive can be previewed and imported without issue.
I have tried adding the images onto the computers hard drive as well but still no joy.
I've used Lightroom 5 previously and had no issue so convinced its the files I'm trying to import (jpeg files).
Any help greatly appreciated.
