Importing itunes xml file..

Since the other day, about every 1 in 4 times I open itunes, it will stall, then say "importing itunes xml file" before giving me a message that it's a damaged file and then allowing the program to pop up with all the default first-time playlists etc. Why is this happeneing? What can I do to fix this?

Heya. I'd first make sure you're running the latest version of iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
That alone could be the issue. Always have a current backup of your files when experimenting with the XML file as well.

How to import iTunes XML library into MS Acess database?

I have exported my iTunes data to a library XML file. When I try to import these data to a MS Access database (without the sound files of course) I only get strange and stupid table entries.
I would like to use MS Access to create more flexible reports of my music collection.
Has anyone ever imported iTunes XML files into MS Access successfully?
P.S. An import solution to OpenOffice.org as alternative is also appreciated.

In iTunes, you can "Export Song List" and one of the other options is to export as a text file. This actually creates a comma or tab separated values file, which is a lot easier to import into Microsoft stuff than the XML file is.

Itunes xml file corruption

I'd like to ask the community if anyone else is having trouble with corruption of their iTunes XML library file?
Back on October 20th, my iTunes library completely imploded: roughly one third of all songs stopped playing, all my Digital Copy movies refused to play. I had just upgraded my iPad to iOS 6 and pretty much everything imploded. The solution was to basically delete the iTunes XML files, re-install the software and then re-import all my uploaded music.
Yesterday, I connected one of my iPod Classics and saw the same error messages that started the first round of trouble: there were 7 files that iTunes claimed it could not sync with my Classic because they were the "wrong format". I checked each in turn and they turned out to be from 3 of my 650 or so albums. In each case I could click on the iTunes entry and nothing would play: no error was reported.
In each case if I pulled up the track information, I could see that the references for these 7 songs had been corrupted. So for example, the track "We Didn't Start The Fire", from Billy Joel's album, "Storm Front", had "Song Information" that said it was actually located in /iTunes/Crowded House/ - no album name or song name were included. Every one of the 7 "wrong format" songs had corrupted "location data" like this. The choice of the tracks that were corrupted appears to be largely random. However, I have noticed that corruption only seems to occur when I add new material to my iTunes database.
The first instance was a complete meltdown and required a clean re-installation of iTunes - literally hundreds of song entries were corrupted. This time around only 7 seem to have been impacted [though i concede it could be more].
I tried asking Apple support for help and although they were able to walk me through the repair process, they have been unable to explain why this corruption is taking place. I wonder if anyone has any ideas? For what little it may help:-
I am running iTunes 10.7(21) on a Mac Mini (OS/X 10.7.5(11G63)) with the 2.3GHz Core i5 and 8Gb of RAM.
My iTunes Library "XML" file is in my local home directory [default location], but because it's now well over 200Gb in size, all the music files for iTunes are stored in a QNAP NAS [works fine, local Apple folk helped me configure it].
It's difficult to triage exactly what's happening without having access to something like XMLspy and being able to work through the iTunes XML file piecemeal, but it does look like something during the "add songs to database" process is corrupting that file, and, interestingly, it adds new content fine - it's existing entries that get corruption.
My music library is not *that* big: the XML file is 15.2Mb on disc, iTunes is currently holding 659 Albums an about 7827 songs.
Does anyone else have ideas as to what might be causing this? It seems to be a relatively recent development, and since I rebuilt the database completely 6 weeks ago, this most recent damage is definitely a recent thing.
Suggestions gratefully received.

The XML file is a readable subset of the data in the main library file. If the library database becomes corrupt the easiest approach is to restore an earlier version.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
The images are from Windows XP but you get the idea. Your Mac library file may omit the .itlextension.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working I'm told Carbon Copy Cloner can do the equivalent of this Windows based backup tip.

Use XSU to store in multiple tables.
"XSU can only store data in a single table. You can store XML across tables, however, by using the Oracle XSLT processor to transform a document into multiple documents and inserting them separately. You can also define views over multiple tables and perform insertions into the views. If a view is non-updatable (because of complex joins), then you can use INSTEAD OF triggers over the views to perform the inserts."

Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently are their any data services provided to do this?

1. Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently?
2. Will it process it node by node or the entire file at a time?
3. Are there any data services provided to do this?
This for a project use case i also have an requirement to process bulk XML files, suggest me to accomplish this task

Hi Patrick,
I am addressing the similar issue. "Getting data from huge XMLs into Hana."
Using Odata services can we handle huge data (i.e create schema/load into Hana) On-the-fly ?
In my scenario,
I get a folder of different complex XML files which are to be loaded into Hana database.
Then I gotta transform & cleanse the data.
Can I use oData services to transform and cleanse the data ?
If so, how can I create oData services dynamically ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Adobe not allowing import of XML file captured from Media Express through Black Magic capture card

I have been going crazy trying to find a way to import the XML files to fix the digitized look Adobe capture gave my footage. Someone help me
These are not XML from Final Cut. They are files saved from Media Express, a Black magic design program used for Capturing.
THANK YOU.
Please email me if you know how to fix this
[email protected]
THANKS AGAIN!

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to open the actual media files captured with the program?

What XML encoding do I use to get APEX to import an XML file?

Environment:
APEX 3.1.1.00.09 on AIX 5.3
SQL Developer 1.5.5 on Windows XP Pro SP3
Oracle 10.2.0.2 EE on AIX 5.3
Trying to import an XML file generated from SQL Developer into a table using APEX Import utility.
I'm getting the error: ORA-19200: Invalid column specification
All I've done is exported the EMP table from SQL Developer (v. 1.5.5) into an XML file and then tried to load into an empty EMP table in the database (10.2.0.2) using APEX and the Data Load Utility.
I've tried creating the XML file using different encodings out of SQL Developer but so far an still getting the above error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Scott
First of all I was successful in exporting and re-importing the EMP table to and from APEX.
When I exported the EMP table in XML format using SQL Developer, the resulting XML looked very different from the same data exported from APEX. My APEX exported XML looked just like yours. Here are the first 3 rows of the XML file exported from SQL Developer. I'm NOT an XML person so I can't judge whether or not this is valid XML but I can tell you that it doesn't import into an empty EMP table through APEX. I can control the encoding type in SQL Developer and have tried several different flavors.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

Multiple iTunes XML Files?

Hello everyone. I have a problem. I want to move my iTunes library over to my external hard drive. DO NOT post a link on how to do this. I have read all of them. The problem is that I have multiple iTunes XML files. Not just one. I don't know what to do. Can i delete them? Can i combine them or something???

It is difficult to understand your question as the the number of xml files does not seem to be related to your question. If you have a complex question then you need to explain it fully with your current iTunes set up.
The simple answer assuming a default iTunes set up is.
1. Ensure all your music is in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder. Consolidate if it is not.
2. With iTunes closed, Copy the iTunes folder to the external drive.
3. Hold down the shift key (Windows) and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Naviagte to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
If you ever start iTunes with the drive disconnected it will default back to the internal drive and you have to do another shift key start to connect to the external drive.

Can't import an xml file

Hi,
I am using Captivate 5.5 on Windows. I have an .swf file which needs to have an xml file with it in order for it to behave the way in which it was intended. The developer has said that the two files need to be included in the same folder.
I have no problem importing the swf file however I can't import the xml file which is called flashParams.xml. I have been editing the xml file in windows notepad and it is working perfectly outside Captivate. However when i try to import the xml, I get the message 'Cannot import XML'. I have been using File/Import/from xml to get the file loaded but no luck. I have also tried dragging it into the library but no luck here either.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong and how they would approach what surely must be a very simple task.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply.
I think what I could do is to launch the swf by clicking on a link in the Captivate session to an external url (it will be hosted on Moodle). The one problem I have is that when I do this in Captivate, the slide refuses to pause and moves onto the next slide. What I would like is for the user to be able to click on the link for the url and for the slide to pause until the user clicks on a next button to go to the next slide.

what should i do???..i almost done all the editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can XML import other XML files?

Is it possible for a XML file to import other XML files? The idea is, to have several separate data in XML files and construct one big XML out of the many smaller XML files. Is there a "import" or "include" tag in XML?

xml files could be merged with the xslt document() function.
