Making Imported URLs into Hyperlinks

I regularly import a list that contains web URLs that I need to make into active hyperlinks.
If I select the data in each cell containing a URL and hit enter, then Numbers recognizes it and converts it into a hyperlink as it should - but, you have to do that to each individual cell for that to work, and with around 1000 lines of data, that's way too inefficient.
I'd like to find a way to select the entire column of URLs, and make them all active hyperlinks in a few simple moves.
The only thing I've been able to find is this old (linked) discussion, but none of those solutions work for me, and the HYPERLINK() trick doesn't work at all.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2530075?start=0&tstart=0
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

DF,
Your data aren't legal URL's, they're incomplete. HYPERLINK doen't guess, you must give it an actual URL. Not only are they not complete, they're in different states of completeness.
Here's an expression that will add the missing data for your examples.

Jerry

Crashing - copy and paste iTunes URL into hyperlink panel

Is anyone else having InDesign crash when they copy and paste an iTunes URL into their hyperlink panel? I am!
Very annoying since I'm making an app that has over 50 of them!
Thanks.

I never use the hyperlinks panel. Instead I find that creating no fill/no stroke buttons gives me a better (more stable) results.

When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

"Unable to log URL" error when importing WSDL into Web Service connection

Hello Experts
I'm using Xcelsius Engage and I'd like to use Web Service connection.
I've developed my own Web service (that is using 2 other web service inside it).
and now I'm trying to import it into the Xcelsius (connection --> Web service connection).
And I get the follwoing error:
"Unable to log URL"
When I browse to my wsdl file in IE the file is loaded with no problem.
When trying to import other URLs it also works fine (for example: http://www.xignite.com/xFinancials.asmx?wsdl)
Any idea?
Thanks,
Miki

Hi Matt
Thanks a lot!!!
Indeed the solution was in the follwoing thread:
VB.net code to create XML
Parsing the query result fixed the problem.
For others who might have the same problem:
Here's a working web service (C# code, for vb code follow the link to the thread above):
public Service () {
    public struct QueryResult
      public string SlpName;
      public string Commission;
    [WebMethod]
public QueryResult[] RunQuery()
      // Open Connection - Query Data from DB table - Close connection
      SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=SBODemoUS");
      SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(
        "SELECT SlpName, Commission FROM OSLP", connection);
      DataTable DT_QryResult = new DataTable();
      adapter.Fill(DT_QryResult);
      connection.Close();
      // Parse data to be forward to Xcelsius
      QueryResult[] QryRes = null;
      QryRes = new QueryResult[DT_QryResult.Rows.Count];
      int i=0;
      foreach (DataRow row in DT_QryResult.Rows)
        QryRes<i>.SlpName = row["SlpName"].ToString();
        QryRes<i>.Commission = row["commission"].ToString();
        i++;
      return QryRes;

How to import URL image into Adobe Muse ?

Hello dear Adobe Community,
I have a (silly) question, I'm building my website on muse and I can't find the way to import URL image.
Are you forced to have all your image stocked in website ? I used to have everything on Google Plus to save me some storage place for the HD image and then to load it via URL in my old website.
Is there anyway to import URL image ?
Thanks you very much for your answers !

Hello,
In case of google plus you can do that. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1. Get the url of the image from google plus by Right click > Copy Image URL
Step 2. Now you need to insert the HTML codes mentioned below in Muse by going to Object > Insert HTML
<img src="ImageURL" width="400" height="400">
You need to replace "ImageURL" with the link you copied from step 1. Please make sure the images are public.
Please let me know if you face any difficulty.
Regards
Vivek

PS Elements 5 (Making images clearer and importing images into PSE)

Hello,
My boss just took a class on elements 5. He said that his instructor brought up a slighlty below average photograph of a fish in a tank and instantly made it clearer and brighter in just a few clicks. Could you tell me the steps to do that?
Also, he says he is sick of going on his desktop to get his photos. Is there a way you can import them into PS Elements 5.0, so that they are right there in the program on the right?
Please let me know when you can. I really appreciate the guidance.

Hi L.S.
The problem with something like that is... the person doing the instruction
could take what is called a "stock image" that is used to demonstrate a
"fix" technique. This technique, as I think Colin is pointing out won't
necessarily work for another image.
As for the images on the desktop, PSE can move images for you, but it sounds
like you might want to take a course in Windows so that you understand how
to move files around.
If you are thinking of something specific, we can definitely help you
here... just tell us what you want to do... for example "fix a picture" is
not really that specific, but "lighten" or "darken" colours is a little
easier for us to help you with.
Cheers

Importing URLs using tagged text

I'm trying to import tagged text with URLs into InDesign. InDesign sees the links, but does not seem to know that the links are URLs (rather than text anchors or page links). I have nearly 1500 hyperlinked pieces of text I want to import, so I can't manually create Destination Definitions for all of them. When I try to send definitions in using tagged text, InDesign (CS2) crashes. Any help very much appreciated.

There are many ways of "tagging" information in an InDesign document. For what you're doing, I'd suggest a unique paragraph style used only for this purpose, then you can search for text in it and use the contents.

FW HTML not importing correctly into DW

Hello,
I have made a navbar in FW and exported it following some tutorials I've watched. I have imported it into some of the pages on my site in DW and the import works fine. However, on a number of other pages, I insert my cursor in the "topnav" div and when I import it, the table goes straight to the top of the code and when I refresh the CSS, all my styles from before disappear and becomes a blank white page. I think it may have something to do with my stylesheet because the other pages that it does work properly on is a different stylesheet, but I cannot figure out where the issue is.
I have attached code below. The first section is what it looks like when I try to import the navbar into the topnav div. The second section is the code for the stylesheet that goes along with it. And third, is the CSS code for the one that works correctly.
I appreciate any help given. Thanks!

With this problem, it would be better to give us a link to an online web page. It's easier to spot the problem than to wade through a lot of code and you would have better success in getting others in the forum to help.
One problem that sticks out is that you imported the code generated by FW into the head section of your document. It should be in the body section. That problem should be obvious to you if you know a little about markup and can recognize javascript. I mention this because if you don't know what you're doing, then importing FW images and code into DW can be very confusing. It might be easier for you to work on the Dreamweaver side and find a good tutorial about building a menu in DW. Most web designers will tell you that it's not a good idea to use code generated by Fireworks although it can work.
Let me make two points. First, if some of your pages are working okay (you said the import worked for some pages), then use a page that is working to override a page that is not working by doing a Save As and then do a little editing if necessary.
Second, if your styles are not working in your page, you probably have a link problem. In the markup you provided, I don't see a link to your css stylesheet on your web page. But, again, if you do a Save As using a page that works, this problem should be solved by acting on the advice of the first point.

PSE12 Organizer - can you copy photo from one folder to another and import copy into Organizer and still have original in other folder

I have been using folders to organize all my pictures and I will copy photos from folder to folder, often having them in 2 or 3 folders based on use. I tried to copy a photo in Organizer PSE12 from one folder to another and you can only move it, that means I can only have one copy of the photo. That is fine if I am using tags and want to search for it, but I want to have mult copies in mult folders. Organizer will recognize that it is there but it won't import it into the new folder. Until I move it, it stays in the original folder. I can drag it out of Organizer and drop (copy) it into a new folder fine, but it won't show in organizer in the new folder. Is there any way to copy and have multiple copies show up in multiple folders?

Hi,
The organizer works on the principle of not having multiple copies of the same photo.
If you have multiple copies spread in different folders, then making changes to one doesn't affect the others. The use of tags and albums are there to give different views of your photos.
You can't have multiple copies with exactly the same name even if they are in different folders. You could select a photo and duplicate it (File -> Duplicate) and then move the copy into a different folder but the name will be different.
If you want different folders for a specific reason, it is possible to use albums to collect the group of photos and then export them to a new folder outside of the organizer. You can also rename on export which is useful if you want to arrange the photos in a specific order.
Hope that helps a bit.

HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can't import Media into FCP X

In the last week or two when I try to import media into FCP X I end up with a very dark and locked import screen. The only way I can recover is to force quit FCP X. It doesn't always happen but it is getting more and more frequent.
I have not updated to Marverik and I'm running the latest version of FCP X on the same iMac I have used since installation.
Any suggestions beacuse it really is starting to beome very, very frustrating.
Thanks

They system is hanging up, waiting on some command to finish, which is not able to. So let's look at ways to fix this. Becasue you never want to do an upgrade to fix problems. Only upgrade a proerly working system. Otherwise, you may just be hauling old problems into a new envoronment, and making things worse. I've seen it a lot over the years.
First, verify that all of your drives have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space. Not enough free space on any dirve can cause similar odd behaviors.
Second, you need to do some housee cleaning. Start by downloading and running the free application "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com). Use it to trash the FCPX preference files. It is easy and safe to you. None of your media or projects will be touched. After that, run Disk Utility to "Repair" all of your drives (ignore "Verify", total waste of time).
If none of that helps, I'd recommand you download the free application "FCS Remover" from Digital Rebellion. Use it to uninstall FCPX. Some folks say to just move the app from the Applications folder to the Trash. That leaves a bunch of other files hanging around that could be bad. Use this app. Once you've uninstalled FCPX, launch the App Store, go to the Purchases section, and FCPX will have an "Install" button. Reinstall a fresh copy, see if that helps.

Import settings into cc 2014

Just "upgraded" to CC (2014), which in traditional Adobe stone age style installs a completely new application. Adobe... why do you hate your customers?
Now all the installed plugins, presets, workspaces and other customisations I use are completely ignored.
Settings syncing is turned on. Does nothing.
I exported settings from CC and imported them into CC 2014. CC 2014 claims the settings file doesn't contain any valid Illustrator settings.
Thanks Adobe. Looks like the annual ritual of setting everything up from scratch and manually copying files from folder to folder is the only solution, unless anyone knows a better way?
Seriously... didn't this method of "upgrading" versions disappear around the same time as shareware?

Waseem: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Stephen: Hello Waseem
Stephen: I have a problem with syncing Illustrator and Indesign settings. I installed CC onto another computer and tried to sync settings from the cloud to the newly installed versions of illustrator and Indesign, but nothing happened. Syncing worked OK for Photoshop and Dreamweaver, but AI and ID do nothing. Now I have installed 2014 apps and the same problem is still there. Why doesn't Adobe fix this?
Waseem: Hi Stephen.
Waseem: I will check and help you with this.
Waseem: I apologize for the inconvenience.
Stephen: This has been a known issue with Adobe since the release of CC, as stated in a previous support "chat" and I have found a workaround in the forum https://forums.adobe.com/message/6482078#6482078 so my question is just this: Why doesn't Adobe fix it?
Waseem: I see that this is more a technical issue and I am sorry our technical team is offline till Monday. In this case I request you to contact us back on Monday.
Stephen: So ok, can you send me a case number and please get the tech team to answer the question "Why doesn't Adobe fix this problem?"
Waseem: Sure, but you need to contact them on Monday only.
Waseem: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Stephen: How do I contact them?
Stephen: This is another problem with Adobe, there is no direct means of opening a ticket on the website apart from "chat"
Waseem: Before coming on chat you need to select the option download and install then you will directly contacted to our technical team.
Stephen: But this is not a Download and Install issue. Surely YOU can create a ticket now?
Waseem: Yes, I understand but they are the one who take cares of this technical issues.
Waseem: Or even you can contact our technical phone support team on Monday.
Stephen: How is anybody supposed to know that "download and install" as ANYTHING to do with their tech issue which has nothing to do with downloading or installing?
Stephen: Why don't they just name it "Technical Support"?
Stephen: Or is Adobe just committed to making things as difficult as possible for the user?
Waseem: I am sorry for the that.
Stephen: If you are in any way interested in a satisfactory user experience can you PLEASE just create a ticket here and now about this issue?
Stephen: I selected "Other" on the menu because this is MOST DEFINITELY "Other".
Stephen: NOT "Download and install"
Stephen: So can you now please create a ticket?
Waseem: I am sorry since our technical is offline hence I can't transfer your chat to them, please contact us back on Monday...

Importing images into projects

can any1 please tell me how to import images into my netbeans IDE projects?this should be such that the jar file that is created displays them correctly- i am having this said problem with .jar files.
plz help!!

i use a function createImageIcon(ImageIcon icon) wfor which i provide a definition.
the definition is as given in the java tutorial as follows
protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path)
java.net.URL imgURL = LabelDemo.class.getResource(path);
if (imgURL != null) {
return new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
} else {
System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
return null;
the program executes perfectly from the IDE when i use the run finction of F6 key. I use netbeans IDE. the images are kept in a folder named images in the 'src' folder of the project. this folder is used to store source files by the IDE. The main thing is i put the images in such a place that the program executes perfectly without errors from the IDE. using the IDE which shows the contents of a .jar file, i verified that the images are indeedd present in the JAR file. however i still continue to get the same error. infact after add ing the images folder and running a 'clean and build' operation , the only difference is that the jar file, which still doesnt display images on buttons, labels etc has increased in size confirming tht the images have been added- i also verified this from the command line.
but the same problem persists.

Copy URLs into email

I am relatively new to the Mac.
It seems whenver I copy a URL into Mail (from the firefox browser for instance), the URL text is copied, but it is not automatically recognized as a URL and is therefore not hyperlinked.
To hyperlink, I must select the URL text (ie, http://dfkfhk.dkfj...), right click and then select "Edit Link" then copy the URL into the edit link dialog box.
Obviosly this is cubersome, and I cannot beleive that apple's mail product would require so much effort to cut and paste a link into the body of an email.
Any ideas on how this can be done with a drop and drag? (dragginf and dropping from the browser URL bar requires the same "edit link" follow up).
thanks in advnace for any help!

You can copy a URL and place the copy in the body of a message but the copied link does not become active until after the message is sent.
In order to turn selected text into a hyperlink, you must do as you provided. Select the chosen text in the message body that you want to hyperlink and at the menu bar go to Edit and select Add Hyperlink placing the URL in the dialogue box. A hyperlink becomes active before the message is sent.
I know of no other way.

Importing Images into IDVD for Slidshow

I am at a loss as to what is the best image size, resolution size, etc. when it comes to importing images into IDVD. I usually size my prints
4 x 6 @ 300 dpi.. This looks fine in the slideshow preview. After I burn the dvd and view it, the images lose quality, etc..
Any help would be appreciated

What you're creating in iPhoto is a movie file that will get cut off in iDVD because of the TV over scan issue. Only stills imported and assembled into a slideshow in iDVD can be scaled to avoid the over scan.
So to get what you want you'll have to import the stills into iDVD from iPhoto and create the slideshow there.
If you have Quicktime Pro you can mask the QT movie with a black mask and cause the iPhoto QT movie to be scaled to the TV safe area. The steps are below. You'll have to experiment with the final sizes to get it exact:
Masking Movies to the TV Safe Area for iDVD
The mask should be 640 x 480 pixels and the movie at approx. 580 x 386 (I arrived at this figure by making a snapshot of the TV save area of an iDVD project with Snapz). You can set this size after you’ve joined it with the mask movie with Quicktime Player Pro.
Import the black mask jpg file into iMovie and and export it as a .mov file at the same length as your movie (there may be a way to not have to create a specific length mask for each movie but I haven't found it. If the times do not match the movie file will be synced to the length of the mask movie).
Open the mask movie in QT Player Pro and then open your regular movie and make it the front window of the two. Now you'll need to run a QT Player AppleScript titled "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2". You can get it from this Apple site: Quicktime Player Scripts.
Then run the script. You can then run the merged movie to check it out. Your movie will be located in the upper lefthand corner of the window when played.
When you open the Movie Properties window from the Window menu for the combined file you’ll see the following:
Video Track 1: the black mask
Video Track 2 : you movie file
Tween track: Have no idea what this is.
Sound track: self explanaotry
Black mask.
To set the size of your movie to the correct size select it in the Properties window and click on Visual Settings pane. Then enter 580 in the first field and hit enter. With the Preserve Aspect Ration box checked the other size will automatically be set.
To center the video track in the center of the mask select the Video Track 2 item and plug in a offset of about: 70 & 45. You'll probably have to play with that to fine tune the centering. Doing the math and subtracting the movie dimensions from the mask dimensions and dividing by two just didn't get it perfectly centered bit with a little eyeballing and trial and error it got there.
Now save as a new self contained movie after checking the High Quality box at the bottom right.
You can now import it into iDVD for preview and burning. One drawback is that you can't invoke the TV save area for a movie in iDVD to check it out. But you can mark it on the monitor screen while viewing a menu or slideshow and then play the movie to see how close you came. I found that the size was still a little under the TV safe area when burned and played on my TV. It may be the difference in normal CRT screens and flat screens, etc.
