MIDI files - opening vs importing and using templates

I think I'm out of luck on this one, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. I spent all morning building a new template with 50+ buses for internal recording of audio (Thank You APPLE!).
I would like to be able to open MIDI files using that template. If I import, only the regions are imported not the tempo map, markers etc. If I open, then I can't have it use my template because it opens in an empty file.
I've gone into the global preferences and assigned my template as the default template and still no love. Any thoughts?

I can import the environment but all of the routing is gone. I've got like 50 buses or something and all of my tracks in the arrange are gone as well. No way to import those I imagine. It'll take me only like 10-15 mins to load them all up again, but still thats 1-150 mins each time. Thats why I built a template to begin with, to avoid routing stuff and inserting tracks over and over.
We need an update on this one stat

Import and use custom Illustrator Symbol Library in Photoshop?

I would like to import and use my own (project-specific) Illustrator Symbol Libraries in Photoshop
Background info
- I create BIG amounts of assets (for UI design) in Adobe Illustrator which I save as Symbols.
- I store these symbols in a custom symbol library so I can re-use them in a different file
- Reason A: to be able to re-use these symbols within the Illustrator file to visualize different "interaction flows" to my clients
- Reason B: I use vector assets because they allow me to accomodate for different screen resolutions in the future
Wish
A: I would like to be able to open the same symbol library I created in Illustrator in Photoshop and drag the symbols onto my Photoshop canvas
B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file
Question
- Does anyone know of a way to do this? A work-around, a plugin or a Script would be fine too...
regards, Koen

B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file

But that is for placed Smart Objects, and would affect changed Symbols in ai-files naturally only if there were instances of them in the document.
Basically I find what you are asking pretty unrealistic* and would be surprised if an easy solution would be forthcoming.
Scripting might offer possible work-arounds that use BridgeTalk to get Illustrator content over to Photoshop, but that would probably be slow and not meet what you are expecting.
The possibly easiest approach might be to have a Script create a new Layer and place one Symbol on it for each one of the Symbols in Illustrator, then save a psd with Layers.
Why do you need the Symbols in Photoshop anyway, if I may ask?
Edit: *) unrealistic in terms of the functionality currently being realizable with a reasonable expenditure of resources; but I’m admittedly a layman with regard to that.

When I open last import and double click on a photo, a caution sign pops up. Any solutions?

When I open last import and double click on a photo, a caution sign pops up. Any solutions?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Cycle Counts, import and use

I see that when importing to the oItems destination via DTW, it is possible to bring in Cycle Count info. There is no sample or template CycleCount sheet, so what I know I gleaned just from looking at the mappable fields in DTW.
Can anyone give me some tips about importing and using Cycle Counts? I confess I find updating any destination via DTW to be a real chore, frequently more work that it is worth.
In this instance I already have items and warehouses and prices and quantities on hand. All I would want to do is import Cycle Count fields. So in DTW would this be considered an update (of existing items) or an import (just of cycle counts)? Since I don't want to change anything for the items, warehouses, or prices, what would be the least amount of data I'd have to show for the already ready loaded areas to get the cycle counts in?
TIA.

By Cycle Counts If you talking about importing prices and quantities
You need to use DTW template StockTaking template inside folder oStockTaking.
Here you will enter ItemCode WH and Quantity
the Prices will be imported using the ItemPrices template in the oItems folder as an Update with the Item main template.
then you will through the Inventory > Inventory Trans > Initial Quantity Reconcile the Quantities imported

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

File extension dictates importer to use?

Anyone have luck in getting unix shell scripts indexed by Spotlight? Perhaps I'm weird, but I don't like my shell scripts to have extensions. When I execute a script, I don't care if it's python, bash, perl, etc. I just wanna execute it After doing some research, it seems that the file extension dictates the type of file that OS X thinks it is, which in turn dictates which importer will be used to index it. My system shows it as a "Unix Executable File" but that's not specific enough for Spotlight to know how to index it.
I even spent hours browsing the low-level APIs, searching for a way to write a little utility to do this for me, but Apple doesn't expose a way to set the kMDItemKind attribute. I was hoping there was a way to explicitly set the file type for specific files, but that doesn't seem possible. Anyone know of a way?
Is it possible to create a user-defined attribute and then have Spotlight use that value to determine which importer to use?
Thanks,

Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

Create and use templates

Hi, experts,
When i created a document from a template,why i can't find the template( which i have created and activated in the system configuration) in the selection?
Thanks!

Hi sandy,
follow these steps
Check and Configure the
Template Service
Task:
Check the template service is activated and define the location of templates and
template groups.
1. Log on as EP300.A-## to check that the template service is running and
define the location of the template groups and templates.
a) In the top level navigation, choose System Administration → System
Configuration and navigate to Knowledge Management → Content
Management → Global Services → Template Service. If Template
Service is invisible in Global Services, choose Mode → Advanced.
b) Ensure that in Template Service, the Active box is checked. Note
the paths for the template groups and templates. The default path

d) Open this folder and create a new folder for the templates. The folder
must have the same name as that defined in the configuration, so use
SingleTemplates.
e) Create now a folder for the template groups in folder Templates. The
folder name must be the name defined in the configuration, so use
TemplateGroups.
Create and Use Single
Templates
Task:
Upload documents that will be used as templates. Activate these templates for a
specific folder and create new documents based on these templates.
1. Upload the documents Exercise.doc, Solution.doc, and Unit.ppt from
\Courses\EP300 62\Exercises\Template Service on the training share to the

PDF WEB FILES OPEN IN QUICKTIME AND NOT ADOBE

I don't know if this is a browser problem or an issue with my G4 laptop, but web pages that consist of a pdf file don't display properly. The page opens after showing a Quicktime logo, but it is only an initial page of the document. No scroll bar and no capacity to move through the document. Problem exists also in Firefox. Saved pdf files open just fine in Adobe Reader. I thought I had rthe problem corrected as per earlier post. Now it is back, and it is the same in Firefox. How do I tell the browsers to use Adobe for pdf?

I would strongly suggest you make this a separate post. Chances of getting it seen by others who can help, now that it has been marked solved are getting smaller. Also, if I remember, you seem to be using an outdated version of Reader, which is now up to version 9.1 and that might have something to do with this.
Also, Preview App. can be selected as the default .pdf applicaton, perhaps at least until you get this sorted out. It works pretty well. And, if this is a Firefox issue you can post in the Firefox Forum.

You don't need to register there to post. Since that forum is not only Mac, make sure you include Mac OS X and whatever version you're running in the subject to get the attention of someone there who knows Mac.

PDF files open in colorsync and can't be printed

In the last couple of weeks any downloaded PDF files open in Colorsync instead of Preview. I can't print them from Colorsync. I have repaied premissions. I don't know enough about computers to toss preferences, and I'm not sure which file to toss anyhow. It sort of feel like I've "lost" Preview, although the file is still on my hard drive. I appreciate any help any of you guys can give me in advance.
Mike Ryan

Thomas:
If I look for Preview in "find" it goes HD>Applications>Xcode tools>Preview.pkg. I Went through an install routine and then tried to open a PDF file using control/click. That lists the default program as Colorsync with option of Virex, Safari, Epson (scanner) or "other." If I select "other," and then "applications," I can't find Preview. I guess I just don't understand these applications very well. Preview used to open everytime I downloaded a PDDF file. thanks for trying to help. I guess I can always call Apple.

How to convert cXML dtd files into xsd format and use them into BPEL application

Hi,
In my BPEL application I have to use cXML dtd files by converting them into xsd format.
I have used 'Microsoft Visual Studio' for converting cXML.dtd file into xsd format, for this 1 dtd file I am getting three xsd files (cXML.xsd, cXML1.xsd and cXML2.xsd).
Please check this once and let me know
1. why I am getting three xsd files for one dtd file,
2. how can I use cXML.xsd file in my application, do I ll have to use all the three files in my BPEL app and
3. what should I include in main xsd file (cXML.xsd) to import other two xsd files.
kindly check this once and let me know your suggestions .
Thanks

Hi,
While downloading the cXML dtd there will be example xml files. Using this xml's we can generate xsd.

Import and using datafiles

hi everybody, i created an import file only for a table on oracle 8.1.6 server using 8.1.6 export utility like that :
exp username/pass file=hth.dmp tables=tablename triggers=n statistics=NONE rows=n grants=n indexes=n constraints=n
this tables has constraints,indexes,triggers. i imported this export file from again this server using 8.1.6 import utility to another server machine (installed Oracle 9.2.0.1) like that :
imp uname/pass@connect_string fromuser=uname touser=uname analyze=n
But after importing export file, i see tablespace from Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, this table fill about 2GB datafiles. i think, this is not normally. i tried this steps for only one another tables the result is the same. for that,after i crated a table on 8.1.6 without constraints,triggers and grants i exported this table and imported to 9.2.0.1 eveythings is normally. what do you think ? is there any problem exporty or import utility or is there any problem oracle 9.2.0.1 server ? where is the wrong i do ? what can i do ?

Hi,
There have been several issues on this topic before. You are right that you cannot use 9i client tools to export from an 8i server.
In order to export data from 8i and import to a 9i server you need to do the following:
Use Oracle 8i client export tool to create dmp file.
Use Oracle 9i client import tool to import dmp file to the new 9i server.
Hope that helps.

How can PDFX-4 Indesign file open in Acrobat and outline the text?

Can Certified PDFX-4 indesign format file open in acrobat pro then outline the text? Because I need to open it in CS6 for final output to CTP with text outline, thx

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated:
Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat once again not a general purpose PDF file editor. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely edit are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator using the “save for editability” option. Otherwise, you risk font substitutions, color space changes (Illustrator only supports one color space at a time), color changes, and either lost or transformed graphic objects.
Plus, regardless of whether fonts are embedded in the PDF file, Illustrator requires the actual font to be installed on the system Illustrator is running on. It never attempts to use the any fonts embedded in the PDF file.
We speak from experience on this subject. One of the greatest sources of prepress problems that we hear about here at Adobe can be traced to prepress personnel who try to “fix things” in any old PDF file by opening the PDF file in Illustrator and resaving, even if they make no explicit changes.
Our original advice stands. There is no need for such outlining of text for CTP RIP operations. The only case where we have heard of such a requirement where there was some validity to the request were in situations where a sign cutting machine that could only accept vector commands was being driven by a retrograde RIP that wasn't intelligent enough to derive the vectors from the font definitions in the PDF file. CTP is certainly not that same type of situation! Most often, such so-called requirements for outlining text comes from uninformed prepress personnel relying on advice from even more poorly informed co-workers (I dare not call them professionals).

How do I import and use the Keynote themes that I've downloaded?

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I searched this forum & didn't immediately find the answer I needed. I've downloaded some Keynote themes (they have a .kth extension). How do I import these into Keynote 08 so that Keynote will recognize and use the themes?
Thanks!

Put the .kth in "Themes" folder under the route Home > Library > Application Support > iWork > Keynote > Themes - it will then appear (at the bottom) in the theme chooser when opening keynote.
