New user - DV import from PC

Hello,
I am a new apple user desperately trying to get captured DV footage from his PC into iMovie:
- I have a great number of avi files which were shot and captured in widescreen (using Studio 9 on a PC) but which QuickTime plays and iMovie imports at a wrong aspect ratio of 4:3 (squeezed)
- I have looked at various forums whch seem to indicate that this is due to an inability to understand a 16:9 'flag' in the file
- I have tried to reset the aspect ratio with MPEG Streamclip exporting into DV format at 16:9, but this overstretches the picture (black bars on top and bottom now), and also gets ignored by iMovie which again imports into a squeezed 4:3
What can I try - I owuld be very grateful for some fairly detailed instructions...? It must be possible to finalise the move from PC to Mac and get those videos into my MacBook! Thanks in advance for your help!
Henrik

Admin Console not displaying new Users and Groups from LDAP

We created a new Realm in WebLogic, which specifies the location of the Netscape
LDAP server. Our Weblogic application, called TGSLC, is able to find the ldap
server to use for authentication. My problem is this- the Admin Console is not
displaying the new users and groups from the LDAP server. Shouldn't the WebLogic
Admin Console display any users and groups specified in the ldap server, which
is referenced in the customized Realm?

Hi Andy,
I am not sure why you are unable to see the users and groups through the
console., you should be able to. Can you post the config.xml?
thanks,

New User agrement - purchasing from US store while traveling abroad

While attempting to purchase content today (a bunch of it actually), I was presented with, and had to accept a new user agreement that apparently prohibits me from buying from the US Itunes store while abroad. I am a US resident, with a US account, paid with a US credit card currently on a long term assignment in the UK. Do I now have to purchase all my content from the US store while I am actually in the US? If so, this will really tick me off!
Looking for feedback and clarification.

Can a newer version read/import from an older version?

I'm using the hard drive from my dead Powerbook G4 as an external drive in an enclosure. It had iPhoto v. 5.something. I want to view/import the photos on that old drive onto a Macbook Pro OSX 10.5.8/iPhoto 7.1. I get told the older (Powerbook) version can't be read and that I need to use the newer version (the one on the Macbook). On the Macbook Pro, I open the external hard disk icon > Applicaitons > iPhoto, and I cant' get past the dialog box telling me to use the newer version of the application. There is only an OK button, which shuts down iPhoto 5.something. So I can't open it even to get the photos onto a flash drive.
Isn't there a way to see the photo library from a previous version of IPhoto? It would be terrible if all those photos were gone. Nobody warned me about this.
While I'm on the subject of iPhoto, is there any way to kill the dialog box that appears EVERY TIME I launch, asking if I want to use iPhoto when I attach my camera to the computer?
Thank you for any advice you may have.
Sylvia

I'm not sure I follow your post
1. There is in importing involved. You never import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
2. Newer versions of iPhoto Will open and convert older libraries. Once the library has been converted the older version will no longer be able to access the converted library
Does this help?

How to program shift register to read only when a new user is detected from user?

Hi,
I'm currently developing a program for position control in labview. The program is quite simple, whereby user will input the distance that he wants the table to be in the labview program, and labview will send signal to move a motor that will turn a ball screw to move a table horizontally to the targetted position. The criteria is that the profile of the motor depends on the distance it needs to move, whether a two-phase (acceleration and deceleration) or three-phase (acceleration, constant velocity, deceleration) to reach the target position.
The problem occurs when the user wants to enter a new position (second input) for the table, as the input by user is position the table needs to be but the input required to determine which profile the motor follows depends on the distance that the table will move to get to the targetted position. Therefore, I would need a function to store the input by user temporarily, and recall it only when a new input from user is detected. By this, I would be able to use the difference of the input (input [n+1] - input[n]) and feed it to determine which profile the motor follows and the input by user can be kept as the position he wants the table to travel to (to compare with encoder).
I thought of using shift registers to do this, but I am not able to make it to perform the deduction ([n+1] - [n]) only when it detects a new input. When i try using shift register, it travels to the targetted position, and one it reaches it will travel back to the original position. For example, when a user input 90, it means the table needs to move to point 90. As the shift register is initialized to 0, it will move to point 90 (90-0 = 90) but upon reaching 90, the shift register sends a signal of 90 (90-90 = 0) and the table returns to it's initial position.
Is there any way that I can delay the reading of shift register only when a new input is detected or is there another way for me to achieve what i want?
I've tried searching the discussion forum and ni website but couldn't find similar problems. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
I've managed to get what I needed by using a shift register + event structure as suggested by Adnan. However, I face another problem after implementing SR+event. I've attached two files, first the original program and second the updated program using SR + event. (it's only the jpg file as I've forgotten to save the labview program, will upload the program by tomorrow.
In the original program, I have an elapsed time that is able to run continuously when I run the program. In the updated program, my elapsed time don't seem to run continuously when I run the program (as shown by elapsed time indicator). I need the elapsed time to run continuously as a input to calculate my motor profile.
I suppose this is caused by the introduction of the event structure, will adding a case structure to wrap the event structure solve the problem or is there another way to get pass this. Appreciate if someone could drop me a pointer or two.
Thanks

New gThumb no import from ptp camera

Since 28 oct. pacman -Syu upgraded gthumb 2.10.12-1 to 2.12.0-2 it no longer import images from the camera.
Have been using Archlinux for nearly 2 years. Always use gthumb for my photos and using the same Canon S3.
Yes i' m in the camera group. First noticed new gthum atomaticly disabled the import plugin. It was
missing exiv2 so install that but no improvement. oh, and >lshal shows it has found USB PTP camera.
Anyone suggestions ?

The new gthumb seems to be missing many functions of the previous version. It looks like they completely rewrote it, but only included the most basic functionality.

New user; no video from my end of call (modern Win...

A friend and I both attempted an inaugural Skype call last night. I could see and hear her; she could hear but not see me. There was a white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box.
I'm running Windows Pro 8.1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 with an integrated webcam. Skype came preinstalled on my laptop.
After reading some troublehooting suggestions on this site, I uninstalled Skype (online version?) by removing the tile. (Skype did not show up as a program under Control Panel so I could not uninstall it like I'm used to removing programs.)
Then I downloaded the special version of Skype. It did not work (can't recall the details).
From Firefox, I installed the desktop version, went into Tools, Options, General, Video Settings. Again, a white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box.
When I go into the Windows Device Manager, Imaging device, Integrated Camera, General tab, it shows the message, "This device is working properly."
Today I uninstalled the Skype desktop, reinstalled Skype for Windows 8 (again, this appears to be an online version not a desktop version), activated the charms along the right border of my screen, clicked Settings (gear icon), Options, Video, Camera, Integrated Camera . . . that same white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box is present.
I suspect there is some simple setting that I need to change to make my video show up on the screens of people whom I Skype. I just don't know what it is.
Any more suggestions? I've followed the suggestions for downloading new drivers, I've restarted my laptop, I've tried some of the other suggestions I found on a list.

I think I found the answer on the Lenovo Support app, Knowledge Base. I've copied the 10/23/2013 answer and pasted it below:
Some customers have reported that the front camera of Helix is not longer active following an application update, and most recently after updating to Windows 8.1
This grey picture with the Crossed Camera is the privacy mode of the "Lenovo Settings App".
You have to deactivate it in the Settings App under the "Camera" tab.
AnswerSome updates may toggle the front camera to privacy mode. To check this, open the Lenovo settings app on your desktop, and then click the camera settings
LearningCurve comment: I followed these instructions, the Crossed Camera icon is now gone, and there I am on video, live. When my friend gets home and is available to answer my Skype video call, that will be the true test.

Same photos are always included in group of new photos to import from my iPhone to Photos.

Every time I plug my iPhone into my MacBook a group of photos are always included in the group of new photos in the group of new photos Photos selects to import.
How can I convince Photos it has already imported these photos many times before?

What photos are you expecting to stream that are not streaming?
Only the photos in Photo Stream stream to other devices over iCloud. Preexisting photos and albums that are synced to the iPhone do not stream over iCloud to other devices.

New user, XML Import

Hi
This question is about how to view contents of XML files I import into InDesign and whether that might help preserve features of original documents created in other programs (like OpenOffice or Microsoft Word).
When I place rtf copies of text / tables / graphics files which I created other programs (like Microsoft Word or Open Office) into InDesign, I am losing important features. For example, with the Table of Contents, fonts, tables, etc depart significantly from the original document.
I am wondering if I can do better by saving the original doc as an XML and using File > Import XML to bring it into InDesign. So far when I have tried it the "import" appears to run to completion, but the InDesign document appears empty.   Do you know how to display what was imported? I have the feeling there is a simple solution, like I need to creat a text frame or something to view it.
Thanks,

First I need to point out that the OpenOffice document I want to convert to InDesign is more than 400 pages and consists of multiple chapters each with mostly text, tables, and a few figures. The whole thing has a table of contents and an index. Do you think I should be working with an InDesign "book" rather than a "document"?
Most of things that are not going into InDesign as they appear (function) in Open Office have to do with hierarchies and referencing:
(a)    Outline /bullet hierarchies
(b)    Tables (columns / rows may change shape)
(c)    Table of Contents and Indexing
I am wondering if XML import will help preserve functions related to the Table of Contents, Figure captions, Table numbers, etc.
Thank you for your help.

New User: LR imports all Canon RAW's and jpgs Red / Pink

I'm not a guru or professional - I shoot alot with an XTi / 400 with various lenses - been successful using Canon's software. Downloaded LR and imported Canon RAW's and they're all red / pink - entirely red / pink. I have spent 3 to 4 hours reading forums / searching for answers and cannot find anyone else with this problem. I then tried importing jpgs from a Sony - they're also red / pink - very frustrating. Leads me to believe perhaps I have a driver / card issue on my computer.
I'm running a 2.8 P4 with HT, 1 gig RAM, video I think is an older nvidia 9600 (not sure I'm not at my computer this moment). Anyway, anybody with any tips on what to do? I have been through every menu item repeatedly looking for some kind of clue - heretofore the answer eludes me.
Appreciate any help / hints!

My usual suggestion it to start out by adjusting your monitor by eye using Norman Koren's calibration charts, after eliminating any monitor profile in the OS.

If you are not satisfied with those results, you can move on to something like the Pantone Huey or Huey Pro, the ColorVision Spyder series, one another similar device.

How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.

HELP New user, importing Music from library ( WMA )

I am a new user to Itunes ( bit late i know ).
I need to move my music ( my music folder ) into itunes.
I have over 40Gb of music. If i import music folder through Itunes using the file > Import folder menu, i am lead to belive that firstly all my music will need to be converted to Mp3. this is not a problem althouigh i am sure it will take a long time.
My main worry is that when converting the music into itunes the origional my music folder will stay where it is therefore doubling up my music to over 80Gb and therefore will not fit on my hard drives.
i tried to cut and paste my music files into the itunes music folder within my music although it doesnt appear in my library???
Any help appreciated!!!!
Many thanks.
Dell PC Windows XP

Moving files into the iTunes library doesn't comvert them to MP3.
iTunes can only use unprotected WMA files. If you are trying to add protected WMA songs, they won't go into the iTunes library.
You can leave all the music files where they are. iTunes will only copy them to the iTunes folder if you have that option checked.
Here are some articles that may help
