Making a "book" from single files

I need help on making a "book" or a single file from multi files. I made single files for a manual but don't know how to make them all into one file, can anyone help me out with this one?
Thanks!

  • Importing Addresses in Address book from text file

    Hello all,
    I am attempting to import my address books from Microsoft Outlook into the Address book on the Macintosh.
    More specifically, I have several distribution lists under Outlook that I use to send out various newsletters from where I work. These distribution lists have addresses that are specifically NOT within my Contacts under Outlook.
    So far, I HAVE been able to get the 400 email addresses exported into a plain text file. This text file has only the email addresses, one per line within the text document.
    The problem I have been having is finding some way to make this information "useful" for the address book program. Attempting to import the text file doesn't work (understandably, since I assume the program will only see the text document as "one" card.)
    So my question is, how can I import these 400 addresses into the address book under a specific grouping or distribution list? Is there some way I can create individual vcards for EACH of these addresses, THEN import them?
    Or am I doing things all wrong from the get-go, and need to attempt something else?
    Here' hoping you can help!!
    Thanks

    Here's instructions. I find it hard to believe that this much work is required, but I'm not at home and so I can't experiment with my Mac.

    I was thinking that you might just want to drag contacts from Outlook to a folder in Windows -- all the contacts get exported to individual "cards" which I'm pretty sure you can import directly into Address Book.
    As for your distribution lists -- I wouldn't be surprised if Mac OS requires everyone on the list to appear in Address Book. If you try creating a list manually, can you include recipients that don't go in Address Book?

    Had corrupted (?) files and Genius Bar wiped HD and reinstalled all software.  Need my address book from Time Machine, but cannot allow whole time machine to get to my HD as the corrupted files are on it also.
    They wiped HD 2 days ago and I came home and plugged in TM and immediately had corruption again, so had to return to Store for a 2nd erasure.  Now can't locate my Address book on TM.

  • Making .tar.gz from .tar file in linux

    i had a doubt as to how to create a .tar.gz file from a .tar file in linux as i wanted to take the back-up of the export of Oracle. Please, help in solving the doubt.
    regards

    It's the gzip command:
    http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_gzip.htm
    Also note that Oracle Database 10g provides the new UTL_COMPRESS
    package to compress and uncompress data, with the compressed output compatible with the output of the familiar GZIP and GUNZIP compression utilities.
    Hope this helps. . .

  • I want to load Sprite Frames from single File in J2ME

    I am working on a game for Nokia 7650. I have series of images which represent animation sequence for my game charecters. For saving jar file space, I want to add all images (frames) on same PNG file instead of seprating it into small files.
    It saved me about 15K for each charecter which is very huge.
    Can anyone give me efficiant method to extract perticuler frame from large Image (png) file and display it to canvas. efficiant code is highly desirable due to nature of application.
    Thanks in advace for your help.

    There are 2 quite a serious problem that sun managed
    to overlook when choosing png as the file format for
    J2ME.
    Jar and png use the same compression algorithm, so
    putting png files inside a jar is absolutely
    pointless. (infact, a png in a zip uses more space
    than it does outside the zip :|)True, I a PNG image shouldn't compress any more with ZIP, if it did, then that would indicate less-than-optimal compression of the PNG image to start with.
    However, this is different than taking the raw image data and zipping that. PNG, as I understand it, does 2-dimensional compression, with knowledge of the image shape. This is more efficient than GIF's one-dimensional compression.
    Here is an example (a 477x412 24bpp RGB PNG image). I took the PNG, converted it to raw TGA (also did uncompressed TIFF with the same results), and zipped the uncompressed image.
    image.png - 250K
    image.tga - 576K
    image.zip - 329K (zipped image.tga, maximum compression)
    image.gz - 329K (gzipped image.tga, maximum compression)
    image.bz2 - 231K (wow! this suprised me. bzip2 of image.tga with maximum compression)
    So I was going to prove PNG as the best, but bzip2 beat it. Interesting. If we could get PNG to use the bzip2 algorithm, that would really be cool.
    mobile phones have small screens.
    A small screen size will generally mean your images
    will be small as well.
    The png format is not efficient for small images.
    abu,Yes, there is a bit of overhead with PNG images, although it's the same with almost every usual image format out there. Too bad.

  • Making the CD from .ISO File

    I downloaded Solaris 10 from the sun site. I extracted the ZIP File and got the .ISO Files.
    I successfully burned the CDs for CD 2,3 & 4 but while I m burning the CD 1, my sonic CD Write is trhowing erro "CD is not compatible with source" , I again downloded the CD 1 considring that there was error in downloading earlier. I tried many time but result is same. Can someone help me?

    If you have OS X on a .iso disc image, then you have an illegal copy of OS X. The Discussions is an Apple provided help system. We cannot help you with illegally obtained software.

  • Script for making random thumbnails from single image

    Hi all,
    I need something like a hundred different thumbnails from each image in a series of images, that is, hundred random sections of the same image, saved in a folder as jpg,  and i was hoping that i could find a script for this.
    What the script has to do is:
    select the size of the crop (this would also be the dimensions of the thumbnail saved)
    rotate crop selection in a random orientation and place the crop randomly on the canvas
    save the image as a jpg in a folder
    return to original image,
    repeat process x times before quitting script.
    I dont think this should be to difficult to make a script for, but unfortunately i don´t know how to code.
    Is there anybody that could help me with this?
    This would save me a lot of time!

    You can give this a try:

  • Lost G2 iPhone & can't sync G3 replacement from backup files

    I lost my G2 original iPhone & replaced it today with a current G3 iPhone but am unable to connect my new G3 iPhone to my G4 Ti Laptop - as it has only a USB 1.0 port (the new G3 requires USB 2.0). So I am unable to directly recover my contacts from my G4 laptop - where there is a recent backup of everything.
    I have a new Macbook Pro 15", to which I have transfered all the files from my G4 from (iPhoto library, & iTunes library) However, the Contacts would not transfer from my G4 to the Macbook Pro during Firewire move....). So, I am looking for a means to get the contacts to my new laptop, & thus to my new G3 iPhone...
    Your comments and suggestions are much appreciated.
    Ward

    Hello fido164,
    To get your contact database from the G4 to the MacBook, you can try the following:
    On the G4, open Address Book and:
    For 10.4.x - choose Backup Address Book from the File Menu
    For 10.5.x - choose Export > Address Book Archive from the File Menu
    Save the resulting file to your Desktop.
    Right-click or Control-click the file and:
    For 10.4.x - choose Create Archive of xxxxxxxxx
    For 10.5.x - choose Compress xxxxxxxxxx
    Move the resulting zip file to the MacBook via CD, thumbdrive, external HD, etc.
    Decompress the file on the Desktop of the MacBook (this will transfer ownership of the file to the User on the MacBook.
    Open Address Book and choose Import > Address Book Archive -- this will import the contact data into Address Book.
    You can find some useful information for backing up Address Book here:

  • How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

    how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
    It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
    It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
    I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
    Thanks
    MG

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • I want to Pick the Single file from The source Directory

    Hi,
       My Scenario is File to RFC .. I'm getting the files in the source Directory.. File names  are  SENDER_(TIMESTAP).XML .. but the problem is... When ever  Files  are available in the Source Directory  Immediately  XI was picking  all the files at a time.. But I want to   to Pick a single file at a time..
    for Making  this what we have to do..   After Processing the first file then only my Sender adapter should pick the next file...  (even though Multiple files are available in my Source Directory)
    Regards
    Jain

    Hi,
    the other option was use Adapter specific attributes in the Sender Communication channel..
    or
    while droping the files ask them to drop using time stamp in another directory  and an external validation is required .. and after validation push single file to Source directory using batch file..
    i.e use a batch file using run time operating system or make that batch file to run at OS level ..
    where the batch files needs to validate the time interval of the file and needs to push a single file to the source directory.. where from there we can directly pick a single file and process..

    How do I see my pictures that are in my aperture library in finder?  I would like I be able to select  photos in finder when I am making photo books online without having to export them first from aperture jinto a new folder.

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:
    SamanthaR22 might have written:
    How do I access Images in my Aperture Library in the Finder?  I would like I be able to select files in the Finder when I am making photo books online without having to create them by exporting Images from Aperture into a new Finder folder. Is there any way to view and download my Images directly from the Finder?
    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

  • Updating index from Word file in Book feature

    I prepared a book using the book feature. 15 chapter files making up the book. The client is going to supply the Index as a Word file with page numbers from his book's word file, which I was hoping to spill into a file in the book and Update the page numbers. I have done this when the book is all one file, but will it work in the book feature? Also, what if a thread is broken somewhere (there were lots of photographs and I think that may have happened a few times). Will that effect the indexes ability to update the page numbers (provided it even works in the Book feature)?
    Thanks!

    That's No Good. The page numbers as they were in the original Word file are worthless.
    .. which I was hoping to spill into a file in the book and Update the page numbers.
    InDesign cannot update the page numbers in an index that was created with Word.
    I have done this when the book is all one file, but will it work in the book feature?
    Uh. Perhaps you did not (see above). Only if you made this index entirely in InDesign is when that's possible. (But yeah, "Include Book" is an option in the Generate Index dialog.)
    Also, what if a thread is broken somewhere (there were lots of photographs and I think that may have happened a few times). Will that effect the indexes ability to update the page numbers (provided it even works in the Book feature)?
    Proper or improper threading is not a problem.
    The problem is you must distinguish between an index made in Word and one made in InDesign -- and I mean "made with", not just "typed in". If your writer supplies you an index made in Word, you can throw it out of the window. What good are his page numbers to you? You can only mimick his index (sort of) if your processed InDesign files still contain the original Index Markers that the author used in Word, and then you are using the same workflow, not "updating the author's index".
    If there are no index markers in your InDesign files, that's where it stops for you. Perhaps you want to insert them, one by one, in their original location (using the supplied index as a guide) -- only then you can create an up-to-date index with InDesign and using your page numbers.
    There is another option: if your author used Word's features to generate the index with, he could try the opposite. That is, you hand him a PDF of the latest version of your book, and he inserts page breaks and adjusts page numbering in his Word document to match yours, word by word. This can be done quite fast because all other formatting is not important -- it's the What's on this Page Number that counts. When done, the author can use Word again to re-generate the index, and hey! the page numbers will match the final version!
    Of course this only works when the author actually used Word's native indexing facility -- if he typed in each entry and its associated page numbers, you got yourself quite a job trying to find what word went where in your version.

  • How can I recover a book I started from a file?

    I have recently installed the iPhoto 9.2.1 from App Store.

    I copy iPhoto Library into a external hard disc to safe and start from the beginning. I need to work in one book.
    Second,The photos for that book were in the external hard disc. I imported them into iPhoto and start working. I thought that everything was solved out.
    This morning when I opened the computer and iPhoto, My work, begun the previous day, was not there, iPhoto ask me if I want to recover iPhoto Library and  thinking that that was my last work, I said yes.
    But it was not, It was the old library, but the work that interests me has disappeared.
    How can I recover this work I started? It must be in some place.
    Thanks for your advice

    Sorry, it'll be impossible for any of us (the forum regulars) to post in this thread without making obvious suggestions like this; it's safe to ignore these suggestions, I understand that you are powerless here to make reasonable suggestions like "Fire the incompetent translation firm that can't keep up with its clients and retain one that actually has the licenses for the apps necessary to complete the project."  If nothing else, all of the people who search Google for the phrase "translation downsave CS5 CS4 book" will learn that the best answer is "tell your translation supplier that they will lose your business if they fail to upgrade."
    But in your case - no, I know of no such script to re-save a CS4 book from IDMLs spat out of CS5. The scripting forum is thataway; maybe they know of a script someone else has already written for this purpose. Mostly because, especically in a book file, one of the steps before saving the INDDs and book in CS4 should be "a human compares the IDML opened in CS4 against the INDDs in CS5, or PDFs generated from same, before Saving As CS4 INDD."
