Importing Entire Colour Palettes into Swatch Library?

Hello there folks,
Nice to meet you all, my first post here.
I'm a very basic user of InDesign 5 and know enough to enable me to achieve the very rudimentary goals that I need InDesign for.
Could someone please tell me how to import/load an entire swatch colour library instead of adding just one colour at a time?
If I click on the menu in the Swatch palette and go to New Colour Swatch and then choose a particular colour mode, I only seem to be able to add one colour at a time, I want all of them loaded at once?
Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you pros!

OK, well I see why you want them then and there's probably no reason not to. Illustrator works sort of like that, if you have it (Illy) you could open up a colour library, export from there an ASE file of it, then import into InDesign. In fact I just did it and here's an ASE file of Pantone Solid Coated Swatches. Go to the swatches menu in InDesign and choose Load swatches then select the file. Change the view to Small Swatch for ease of use.

Cannot import a .mov file into the library

I am trying to import a .mov file into my library so I can
create a .fla file. Every time I try to import it into the library
using the import wizard, it starts the importing process and always
quits not quite two minutes into the process. It then returns me to
the front page of the import wizard. I have done this before with
absolutely no problems.
The one thing that I am wondering about is the size of this
particular .mov file. It is 377MB. Do you think this may be part of
my problem? Thank you in advance for anyone's input or
suggestions!

I would consider 10mb to be too big for a flash file. Even if
it was CD
I would load it dynamically to avoid performance problem.
377mb is out of the question way beyond flash ability to
maintain stable
performance, not just the final output but the IDE itself.

IPhoto won't import movies (.mov, .mp4) into the library since last upgrade to 9.5.1 (902.17)

iPhoto won't import movies (.mov, .mp4) into the library since last upgrade to 9.5.1 (902.17). Error message is "File format not recognized". Before that, no problem. Had them first on SD-card over USB, tried then to copy to the HD (Desktop) and import from there, but didn't work. Imported successfully into iMovie and exported as .mp4, but even this is not recognized.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Can't import some CD's into iTunes library

I have the latest verson of iTunes on my MacBook. When I try to import some CD's into the iTunes library, it ejects the CD back out. It doesn't happen to every CD; just some. What is causing this, and how can I import these CD's into iTunes?

Thanks for the suggestion. CD's are clean; no finger prints or dust. Still can't import into iTunes. A little background-- I had iTunes on a PC previously. When I transferred the library to my MacBook, I noticed some CD's were not transferred. This is one of the CD's I had in iTunes on my PC, but is now not in iTunes on my MacBook. Why can I not add this and some other CD's to iTunes on my MacBook?

I can't figure out how to import my native instruments into the library

I'm trying to use Komplete 8 as a plug-in and I can't figure out how to put it in to library.

Load the plugin into the insert, select your patch and then select "save as" from the channel strip menu.

Keywords not imported unless photos copied into iPhoto library.

Hey, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster here.
I just noticed that iPhoto '09 does not appear to import keywords buried in the EXIF data with the photo unless one copies the photos ("Copy items to the iPhoto library" is ticked) to the iPhoto database. This is unlike previous versions of iPhoto, which would bring along the keywords even if one opted to keep the photos outside the iPhoto database.
I for one have always opted to not copy over my photos, but now it seems I will have to do so in order to take full advantage of iPhoto '09.
Anyone else notice this?

The keywords for all my photos are embedded in the IPTC:keywords field using Adobe Bridge (which also embeds the keywords in the XMP-dc:subject and XMP-lr:hierarchicalsubject fields as well). This has been my modus operandi through several versions of iLife now with no problems until now.
I again just tried importing a photo both ways (copying and not copying to library), and the photo that was not copied to the iPhoto library does not display the keywords, but the copied photo does. I did this experiment with a fresh, clean iPhoto '09 library, so I know it can't be corruption from an updated '08 library.
What’s odd is that all other metadat imports, for example, the GPS metadata. iPhoto had no problem parsing those fields, or any of the camera data fields. In light of that, I’m fairly certain that this isn’t any sort of permissions issue either on the photo itself or the volume it’s stored on; plus, I’m pretty finicky about my metadata (using a combination of exiftool, Google Earth, GeoTagger, and Bridge), so I’m pretty sure my metadata is in order and not corrupt.
Did you guys really have no problem when you duplicated this issue? Hmm... odd. Any suggestions?

I recently imported 2 cd's into my library, and then tried to import them onto my Ipod classic. would not do it. What Gives?

I recently imported 2 cd's to my Itunes library, and then tried to download them to my Ipod classic, and they would not download. In my library, but not on my Ipod. What gives?

This topic is also discussed in an conveniently archived discussion. My opinion is anything downloaded and not purchased in the Apple iTunes store is not truly compatible with iTunes and/or iPod Classic - all of the potential space - unusable. I am not holding my breath for an answer nor give a **** if they do respond. No more Apple products for me, now I need to figure out how to transfer everything purchased onto another medium.

Can't import files or folders into the library

I go through the steps to "add file or folder" to library, but it doen't move the music over. It doesn't give an error, it just doesn't do it. When I use the drag and drop technique it doesn't work either. Using XP tablet edition. Any idea's would be great. I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled itunes to the latest version. TW

Create document to change colour of certain graphics using own colour palette

I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it.
I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes.
so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
I know how i have explained this is a bit hard to understanbd but any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

the document is not for me to use but for me to give to a large group of peopleand they will themselves select their own colours, i want to be able to intergrate my own colour palette into it which will have hundereds of colours....very similar to a room planner kind of thing, where you select a colour and the object you selected changes to that colour, but i need it for somthing else.

Custom colour palette in Keynote for iOS?

Is there some workaround that would let me create a custom colour palette in Keynote for iOS? Importing a PPT slide seems to change the palette, so I assume it's possible, but I don't want to have to use PPT just to set up Keynote! Ideally, I'd like to be able to import a Kuler palette into the iOS app using only the iPad (I don't have a Mac).

FOUND THE SOLUTION:
I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

I copied my mac HD into aperture library by mistake, how can I correct this?

I Had some photos saved to my desktop. I selected them to move them into a folder in the aperture library but forgot about the Mac HD icon, which was selected as well
As a result I copied the entire hard drive into the library. This has rendered it unworkable. I tried to delete the HD copy from the library, but I run out of application memory trying.
Any solutions?

Do you have a backup?

How do I import just PART of a song from a CD into iTunes Library?

I am trying to get just a little bit of one of my songs from my CD into iTunes Library so I can use it on a website. I do not want the entire song. Can this be done?

No, not as far as I know.
You can, once imported, change the 'Start Time:' and 'Stop Time:' (Get Info, Options tab) and convert it, using the converter of your choice.
The copy will have the length between start and stop times.
Beware of copyright issues before putting (parts of) songs on a website.
If you own the copyright, it's no problem of course.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to import a cd into itunes library unchecked by default?

I'm in the process of importing all of my cd's into itunes library, but I want the tunes unchecked in the library so they won't automatically update into my ipod. Right now I've got itunes set up to automatically import a cd I insert and then eject on complition. Then I have to open the library, find the songs, and uncheck them. Is there a way to automate the unchecking process? Thanks.

I don't know how to automate what you are doing however if it's all the songs in your library that are affected it's quite easy to check or uncheck them all at once without searching.
To check or uncheck all the songs in a list:
Control-click the checkbox next to a song.
Windows Keyboard Shortcuts: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/shortcuts/
Also, if for a period of time you don't want your iPod automatically updated while you are importing your CDs why not change the update option?
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Cs6, mac, gradients iconsistent colour using swatch library

Hi all
Wondering if you can help?
Using Mac 10.6.8 and Ilustrator CS6.
I'm drawing up some items [300] that are coloured in 1 of 10 gradients.
On the first two drawings I had the 10 swatches and then selected the 'Save swatch library as AI...' command from the swatches file.
On the next drawings I loaded this swatch library and coloured up the rest of the drawings, using some of the 10 colours.
Now, when I look through the illustrations, there are some colour differences on various files. In the swatch palette there are multiple versions of my original swatch colours with numbers on the end... I did not create these ... i.e. 'Red Gradient 2', 'Red Gradient 3'
Where did these come from?
When checking the gradients, they are indeed slightly different colours... HOW? they were all from the same swatch library?
The black gradient is also the same, it's not the same colour and there are 2 & 3 names derivatives.
All files are RGB colour mode, and have ADOBE RGB 1998 colour profile attached.
Any advice appreciated.
GS

@Michael – I second that!
On with my example shown in #2:
There is a hidden feature in the Gradient Panel:
With a right-click in the "red area" I marked in the following screen shot, you can add a new gradient swatch to the swatches panel:
That will not work in other areas of that panel…
