Please help, importing

sorry if this has been discussed, I'm new here. I have a sony HDD camera, my mac mounts the camera and I can access the files but quicktime won't open the files and iMovie tells me that it can't import the files because quicktime can't parse the file. They are MPG files. I'm new to video editing so if anyone caould give me some guidance I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi Gaum and welcome!
The bad news is that iMovie 6 expects to be fed a DV stream from digital tape from a camera connected by firewire.
MPG is a compressed delivery format not intended for editing.
Your camera is incompatible with iMovie 6, but it might work with iMovie 8.

I cannot solve the problem-please help-IMPORTANT

I have got the following two classes. It shows the elements (double-numbers) of a matrix in a frame. The problem is, if the matrix consists of too much numbers , I am not able to see the whole numbers, but rather the first digit of each number.
I want to be able to scroll through the matrix and the numbers should be presented completely in the frame.
But how????;-(
public class MatrixFrame extends Frame {
public MatrixPanel matrixPanel;
public MatrixFrame(double[] [] values,int x, int y) {
matrixPanel = new MatrixPanel(values,x,y);
this.setSize(300,500);
this.setLocation(200,200);
add(matrixPanel);
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
dispose();
show();
}//MatrixFrame
public class MatrixPanel extends Panel {
MatrixPanel(double[] [] values,int l, int r) {
setLayout(new GridLayout(l,r));
for (int i=0;i<l;i++) {
for (int j=0;j<r;j++) {
add(new MatrixValue(values [j]));
//this.add(BorderLayout.CENTER);
setVisible(true);
class MatrixValue extends JComponent {
private double data;
MatrixValue(double d) {
data=d;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Dimension d= getSize();
g.drawString(Double.toString(data),d.width/2,d.height/2);
Thanx for your help
Thomas

Instead of extending JComponent, your MatrixValue should extend JLabel. JLabel sizes properly, thus allowing you to place it within a ScrollPane. Otherwise you will have do something like this:
public MatrixValue extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics _g) {
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)_g;
Rectangle r = g.getFontMetrics().getStringBounds(Double.toString(data), g);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(r.getWidth(), r.getHeight());
g.drawString(Double.toString(data),d.width/2,d.height/2);
}

I want newItemDescriptionPanel and priceEnterPanel to have a scroll bar. but everything I have tried hasn't worked. I am new. You will see the code is ugly and there is an attempt to add a scrollbar.

Mostly I see there is about 100 times as much code as I care to look at.
So you don't know how to get a panel in a scroll pane, and then get that scroll pane into your GUI? Then try doing that by itself, not encumbered with 10000 lines of irrelevant code. Once you have it working, plug it into the big lump of code. Or if you can't get it working, ask about the small problem here.

Can't run very simple DOM parsing source on my machine - please help :(

Hi Guys,
I am trying to run the following very simple program on my machine to parse a very simple XML file.
It just returns Document object NULL.
Same code is working fine on another machine.
Note: there is no silly mistake. i have valid xml file at valid place.
Please help.
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import java.io.*;
class XML
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try{
               String caseFile = "c:\\case-config\\config.xml";
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setValidating(true);
               DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               Document doc = builder.parse(caseFile);
               System.out.println("\n\n----" + doc);
          }catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
}

You could also work with JDOM, which I find easier to use than regular DOM:
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import java.io.FileReader;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.jdom.Document;
String caseFile = "c:/case-config/config.xml";
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new FileReader(caseFile));
SAXBuilder builder= new SAXBuilder();
Document document = builder.build(inputSource);Just an alternate suggestion.

Please help - JFrame, menu, another JFrame, setBackground

I am trying to make a simple program that draws a JFrame with a menu. The menu has one item, which when selected draws another JFrame. That JFrame has a button, which when pressed changes the background color. Many hours have gone into this, despite the fact that I made a similar program a few weeks ago.
The compiler complains about the method getContentPane, when I remove that, it runs and draws the first window, but the menu item does not make the second window. Also, the setDefaultCloseOperation confuses the compiler as well.
Please help.

          add(connectB,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

getContentPane is a method so you should use it that way:
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
getContentPane.add(new Button("Ok"));

Error during import. Please HELP!

Hello All,
We want to export / import some page groups and are faced with the following situation.
We were able to get the transport set of the page group from the source and create the dmp file using the command:
File.cmd -mode export -s portal -p <portal_schema_pwd> -c iasdb -d pqr.dmp
We also created the transport set in the target system by executing the command:
File.cmd -mode export -s portal -p <portal_schema_pwd> -c iasdb -d pqr.dmp -pu <portal-user id> -pp <portal password>
Browsing through to see the transport sets, we could see the status of the created transport set to be "EXTRACT_COMPLETE"
But when we tried to import it, the status changes to MERGE_FAILED and the log shows: MAPPING NOT FOUND AT PAGE ID:xxxx SITE ID:yyyy.
We are not using any web providers. All are DB providers. Our page groups do not share any object. And we are using release 9.0.2 .
Someone must have come across this error. Please help.

Dude, you really should only post in one of the forums. No need to put this in Portal-General, Application Server - General AND Portal Import/Export. Just about everyone who answers goes to all of these anyway. See the Portal-General forum - I posted a response there.

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

IPhoto crasht when importing photos and now it doesn't open anymore. Please help!

I was importing photos in iPhoto, when the program crasht. I tried to restart it, but it never opend. I installed it again and again and made a software update - still doesn't work. What can I do? Please help!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

Please help, need to import .swf/flash media

Hi all, have a little issue here. I have some SWF flash media and I want to bring it into imovie so I can edit it more effectivley then with qt. However, I have been haveing alot of trouble, most time I only get the audio part of it and no image. Most of the media is widescreen, I was able to export the media in qt to dv stream and then import it, however, it lost its widescreen look and was kinda squished from the sides if that makes sense, if anybody has expeirence with this type of media, please help.

Hi Nathan,
I've never "dared" to convert .swf, but I read a lot about problems doing so... probably the Quicktime section of this forum is better to ask...
maybe a much easier workaround is using tools as SnapzPro from Ambrosia; this tool claims to "record" any screen content (and audio) and convert it directly into any wanted format (as dv)...
just a thought.......

Please help me! I imported my pics to iphoto but I can't open them now. I can't see them on full Screen/edit them like before. All I get is a exclamation mark when I double click on them. I don't have copies, can someone please help me?

I imported all my pics to Iphoto and I can't open/edit them now. When I double click on them, I only get an exclamation mark. Please help me I don't have copies. I tried burning them to a cd but it didn't work. Can someone please help me?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:

Importing all my music to iTunes(Please help me out)

Hello,
I just purchased a 20gb ipod today and am havintg some trouble importing all of my music. I have complete music library's in "RealPlayer" "Winamp" and "Windows Media Player", it doesnt matter which one of these i import from(whatevers easier i guess). I have tried the add folder option on "Documents and settings", "my documents" and "program files" and it has only imported around 600 of the 3600 songs in my music library.
Also, i have read pages and pages on this board trying to find an answer. I saw one post which talked about this very issue but it was never resolved. It confronted importing from windows media to iTunes and the answer was to highlight all the music and drag it over to iTunes. This Does Not Work. I highlight all my song, hold down on the mouse and move it over to the iTunes box. However once i leave the Windows media box the arrow from my mouse turns into a circle w/a line acrosse, not allowing me to drag it.
Please Give me an answer on how I can import all my music to iTunes. If you do I will kiss your feet and applaud your genious.
Please help me out.
Josh

Hi,
No. I never found a solution to the problem to import my music libary from Realplayer to itunes.
I have exhausted everything that I know and have read as tips from this and other posts.
Please come back to post an answer if you find a solution and I will do the same.
I am going to go ahead and just synch to Realplayer to fill up my ipod. Then I will see if I can switch to itunes for all future synching and hope that I can find a way not to lose the music on my ipod that came from Realplayer. If this doesn't work, I will have to stick with Realplayer as my main music interface and synching for ipod.

I updated to Itunes 10.6.1.7. over 6 months ago on my windows XP desktop.It's worked well. Recently, on startup, a dialog box appeared which read: Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to burn or import CDs please re-install Itunes. Please help.

I updated to Itunes 10.6.1.7. over 6 months ago on my Mindows XP desktop. It has worked well.
Recently, on startup, a dialogue box appeared which read: "Itunes was nor properly installed. If
you wish to burn or import CDs you have to re-install Itunes." I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
which ended with an error message and a code 2330. I have abandoned that idea. I would like to
re-install V10.6.1.7 or update to 10.6.3. but where do I find these old versions? Which do I use,
32 or 64 bit?
Please help.

I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
which ended with an error message and a code 2330.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Please help, importing
