Need help importing a project

I got a virus on my mac so i took all stuff off my computer and put it on an external hard drive including an imovie project. I wiped my computer and imported all of my stuff including this imovie project. I downloaded Yosemite and the new imovie software and now when i try to import this imovie project it doesnt work and will not import it says its not compatible. This imovie project says its format is an imovie project, i just need to import it into imovie again so i can work on it, thanks.

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
Here is the programs code that I've written so far:

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

NEED Help Importing new Activities.

Hi All,
I am working on a project where I have been asked to add two new activities to all the 841 WBS codes belonging to the project. That means I have to add around 1600 new activities. So instead of going through the tedious task of adding those manually, I was wondering if there was an easier way like importing from Excel or anything else to do this. I need to finish this within this week, so I need help urgently.
Please Help

You can absolutely add new activities in via Excel import however how much easier this ultimately is depends on the structure of your project (ActIds, Codes, Relationships, etc) and the underlying data to be added.
In a large project I have some exposure to Excel is used frequently to make activity level additions/changes, but the schedulers spent a decent amount of time early in the project re-naming activity ID's for grouping purposes (I believe specifically to help with excel imports).
If your additions to each WBS follow any sort of consistent pattern then it may be quicker to use Excel. Even if it ends up not saving much time initially, at the very least you will have a process down for the next time you need to make major changes to your schedule.

Hi,
For this kind of problem, I believe you can use the inner class.
Here's the sample code I hope will help:
class MyApp{
B bFrame;
A aFrame;
class A extends JFrame{
public void doSomething(){
bFrame = new B();
bFrame.doSomething();
class B extends JFrame{
public void doSomething(){
aFrame = new A();
aFrame.doSomething();
If you have further question, you can email me your task sample code at [email protected] and I will solve it for you.
With my best,

Help importing WinHelp project into RoboHelpHTML

Dear All,
I am a programmer currently evaluating RoboHelp Office X5,
with the intention of converting our existing WinHelp project to
the more modern (and vista friendly) HTMLHelp.
I have tried using the import function (RoboHelp
Starter/Import/WinHelp Project -> HTML Help.
This is a large (2000 topics) project, with a cnt file, map
file (HM) and topics.rtf file.
Robohelp chugs away for a bit, then opens the new RoboHelp
project.
The screen briefly flashes with the workspace, then
refreshes, and the HTML Files (Topics) folder in the workspace is
empty. i.e. the new project appears to contain no topics.
RoboHelp has produced HTML files (about 2000 of them), in a
topics directory, but these don't appear in the project itself.
Not sure how to progress? Any ideas?
Hope someone can help,
Merry Xmas!
Robin

This post has been duplicated in the RoboHelp HTML forum, see
there for answer.
Please do not cross post.

Need help for my project

Hi there
I need some help with a project. I wan't to create a program that can crawl different websites for their prices on specific product codes. I have these product codes listed in XML format (or another format). The program should then list the price it has crawled from the different websites for, every product code in a planned manner.
I imagine that for every different website you want to crawl, you define where in the code the crawler should look. E.g.: (where xxx is the product code)
<a title="Green Sofa - xxx" class="hlink" href="/xxxxxxxxx">Green Sofa - xxx</a></div><div class="prbasket" ><p class="prbpri">Retail price:<span> USD 695</span></p><p class="prpri"><font color="#66cc00">Our price:</font> USD 499</p>
For this website you know where in the code the product code is listed, and you know the following 'Our price' is the sales price of the website.
For this specific site you add url1, url2, url3... urlN for the pages you want the program to crawl.
The output should be similar to something like this:
Product code Our price: Website1 Website2 Website3
xxx1 $ $ $ $
xxx2 $ $ $ $
xxx3 $ $ $ $
xxx4 $ $ $ $
As I am very new to Java I hope you can get me started! -Where to look and for what. And if you want to help further I would be very happy. Do you know about any OS that can do what I need?

I Need Help Importing my Contacts Onto my New (old) Palm phone.

I need to import my contacts onto my Palm Centro. As of now, they are in a .csv file. When I select import from the Palm Desktop file menu and browse for my contact file, it shows the file grayed out. Even if I instruct the program to allow all file types, it doesn't work. I've read that the Centro needs a .aba file- but I can't find a converter that works.
I'm on a Mac but it has OSX and Windows 7, so I can use any program/service that you guys can suggest. Even if you don't know a program that can do what I need, I also want to know definitively what file format my Palm Centro wants these contacts.
I know this is an old phone, but there must be a way to do this (and avoid typing in 400+ contacts).
Thanks very much in advance!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Have you tried this program?

Need Help Import Project from Adobe Premiere CS6 TO FCPX

Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to export a project from Adobe Premiere CS6 to FCPX.
Many Thanks,
Mat

I am trying to transfer a movie project I made on my work computer (MacBook Pro, iMovie '08) to my home computer (iMovie HD, iBook). I've transferred the files using a Lacie, but when I open iMovie HD on my personal computer, it does not let me open the project I desire.
As you have already found, iMovie '08 projects, as such, are not backwards compatible with previous versions of iMovie. iMovie '08's project basically consists of a list of instructions detailing how a project is to be exported while previous versions of iMovie actually rendered physical file segments ordered properly in a physical timeline reference file.
I can import, but not the whole file, it keeps putting items in the trash. I have exported Mobile, Medium, and Large files.
Basically you have two options. You can either import your raw footage (the Event clips) and "re-create" a project in iMovie HD or export your iMovie '08 project, complete with edits to an HD compatible format (e.g., DV or AIC/AIFF) and import this file into iMovie HD. Unfortunately, this latter approach will not allow you to "manipulate" your previous edits.
Basically, I want to be able to open the file in iMovie, in case I wanted to duplicate it or edit it.
As indicated above, you can import iMovie '08 shared/exported files to iMovie HD but you then have to edit them as source files. To remove a previous edit, you would literally have to delete it from your new project in order to add another.
I also want to be able to continue burning copies of this movie slideshow to DVD (I created a DVD project using iDVD).
Previously authored and burned DVDs can be copy-burned by applications like Toast or used to create stored "image" files that can be used to burn new DVDs on an as needed basis in the Mac OS "Burn" folder or using the Disk Utility application. In fact the "image" file can also be created for this purpose from within iDVD.

HDD crash. Need help Importing Events and Projects

So recently my HDD crashed which had all of my footage/clips/Events/Projects on it. Luckily I had backed everything up (using copy and paste). Only problem is, when I open iMovie, none of my Projects or Events are listed. I realize that somewhere i movie just "points" to the location of the files. How can I re-associate iMovie with the files in the new location?

So, I think I answered my own question and decided to post it here for those of you that may have a similar question. I went to import a new movie and, though it would not let me choose which subdirectory (folder) I wanted to save into, iMovie would let me choose which drive I wanted to save to. I selected my new Files drive and notice that it created a new iMovie Events folder. I thought....hmm, maybe if I just drag my original iMovie Events folder and iMovie projects folder into the root directory of the drive it will recognize them.... I closed iMovie, dragged the files from a subfolder into the new location, opened iMovie, and whalah! it worked!

Need help importing Hi8 footage into FCE4

Hi all,
I have a Sony Digital 8 TRV310 camcorder. I'd like to be able to import the Sony footage directly into FCE 4 but am having trouble.
I've successfully imported Hi8 footage from the TRV310 into FCE 4 in the past (it's been a couple years) but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it (it had something to do with Easy Setup and choosing 'device control = none' or something like that. I can't seem to find that option anymore and the only 'device control none' is 'DV-NTSC DV Converter' and that selection doesn't work for the import).
Here is the process that I am going through:
1. I hook my Sony TRV310 up to my Mac Pro via a firewire 400 cable, turn the camera on and switch it to VTR (play) mode. I manually cue to the beginning of the footage I want to capture.
2. Before attempting to import Sony footage into FCE 4 I go to 'easy setup' and dial in format=NTSC and use=DV-NTSC then click the setup button. I then go to file-->capture and a small window pops up indicating that capture is being initialized.
3. The the 'capture window' pops up with preview screen indicating that 'preview has been disabled'
4. I then hit the 'play' button in the capture window and then hit the 'capture now' button.
A black window with 'Final Cut Express and Apple logo' pops up for a few seconds, then a warning window pops up which states 'this operation could not be completed as there is no video'.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dennis

Sounds pretty close to me.
Try starting a NEW Project the the DV Converter option selected , you may not have initiated the DV Converter option.
Also there is no device control, so the Capture Now will not work, Start the camera manually and use the Escape key to stop capture.
