Problem importing .PSD to Fireworks and Exporting to .HTM with CSS

Hi!
Ok, I've watched 3 differerent adobe tutorial videos about opening a .PSD file in Fireworks and ultimately exporting from Fireworks to an HTML file with CSS for use in Dreamweaver. It seems so easy. I have a very simple PSD. Basically a solid color header with two images on it plus some text which will eventually be a nav menu. Then I have about 500 px of blank space underneath where I will eventually place a flash SWF. Finally, I have a text footer made up of 6 individual text boxes that will also serve as nav links.
When I export, the top portion looks fine, however my text boxes at the bottom end up all over the place and one even loses the "style" formatting.
What am I doing wrong? In the videos, it appears text simply stays text during the export and stays where it was on the page. I don't know why mine is going everywhere.
Any ideas would be so much appriciated...thx!!!

I prefer to work in Photoshop. I never use Fireworks. But I know many people who prefer Fireworks. So pick your favorite graphics editor and stick with it. PSD is not a Fireworks file type thus some things may get lost in translation particularly if they reside in layers on a CMYK project file. Graphics for the web need to be saved as RGB.
More importantly, graphics editors shouldn't be used to generate quality code. Use your graphics editor to make your design comp, slice and optimize images (File > save for web). Use DW to build your HTML & CSS code. DW will do many things for you, but for best results you'll need a working knowledge of HTML and CSS otherwise you'll become very frustrated.

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here. You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network. That's bad. Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network. So stop doing it.
As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information. There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot. Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

Problems getting Reader (9.4 and up) to interact with WSDL, rights-enabled or not

Somehow I must be doing something wrong - My form works just fine in Designer,
Preview, Acrobat Pro, etc as expected. When I open the form in Reader, I am not gett
ing my data back. I have rights-enabled the form, still no go. Am I mis
sing something? Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks - Adobe is certainly misleading about what & where they are calling
Reader Extension. Grrr. Thanks so much for your answer!

Import and Export MDL error with OWB Release 2

Getting the following error when importing and exporting MDL - any assist would be appreciated - never had this issue with previous releases - error as follows:
Error occurred exporting metadata to file "C:\TEMP\MY_PROJECT-20061208_1058.mdl".
java.lang.Exception: CNV0002-0038(ERROR): Cannot write to file ./../../reposasst/converter.properties. Please make sure that write privileges are enabled or that disk is not full.

I got the solution. OWB writes some temporary xml files before importing/exporting mdl and these files are stored in OWB home directory. The problem is write privileges on the OWB Home directory. I am not local admin of my system. Admin installed the OWB client on my system through his userid. Now if i try to create a directory or file in OWB home directory it thorws an error "Access Denied". I got the Admin rights on my local system for my userid and now OWB is working fine.
Thanks.

Compatibility problem importing .psd files

I have a lot of .psd files that I want to import into LightRoom. They were saved without the Maximize Compatibility option checked so I need to open them, check the box and save them.
I was going to set up an action or a droplet to do the job. However, it seems that simply saving then doesn't have the desired effect. The only way I've been able to get LR to accept the import is to choose "Save As ...", enter the same file name and overwrite the file that way.
I have a feeling that using "Save As..." and entering the file name is going to complicate the automation process.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem, and if you found a solution.
Thanks,
Keith

I am not sure but I think the reason that just opening the file and checking
save with compat. doesn't work is because you aren't actually changing the
image. If you have the action do something (non destructive) to the image
like turn the background in to a regular layer or something like that and
then save it would then update the file the way you expect. I suspect that
simply turning on the max. compat. option isn't enough to get Photoshop to
resave the file, it sees the file are unchanged and there for doesn't do
anything to the file. This is just a guess.
If you images have layers then try applying a layer effect and then remove
it with the action, do the max. compat thing and then save. You could do
other non-destructive things that would change the image so that Photoshop
saved it.

Problem:Imported video is choppy and then camera stops playing

I'm using a Sony DCR-HC96 connected to my Macbook, tried both Imovie HD and Imovie 08 and I have the same problem. When I try to import the video, the playback from the camera is very choppy, and after a few seconds the camera stops playing. If I just play the camera without importing, the footage is good. Sometimes the choppy-ness is right away and other times i will be able to import a few minutes and it starts again...
Addendum: Just realized I posted this in the Imovie 11 forum. My Bad, as the saying goes..I will post it in the Imovie 08 as well.

As the drive fills and you're going farther and farther into the disk it gets more and more problematic. When the drive is empty you're writing on the outer portion of the disc. The more it fills, the disk area gets narrower and narrower and slower and slower compared to the outer portion. USB drives that deliver information in bursts have more problems with this than drives that have sustained throughput like FireWire. For video, which requires sustained data delivery, this can be a problem. Depending on the computer and how full its drive is you can sometimes get better performance with DV capturing to the internal. It might be worth a try.

Color discrepancy with imported PSD between Motion and FCP

I've got a Motion project with an imported PSD file as a background element (the PSD was created in Photoshop CS2 for Windows, running under Parallels).
The PSD file consists of two overlapping curved shapes, one blue, one green (part of our corporate look). The colors (RGB) match our official guidelines.
I imported the Motion project to FCP and placed it on the timeline, on V1. In FCP, I then used a color generator to create a small blue rectangle which would serve as a border for a slightly smaller thumbnail image that would get overlaid later on. The rectangle is on V2. I used the exact same RGB values for it as I did in Photoshop for the curved shape.
Trouble is, the blue color in the shape that got imported into FCP inside the Motion project doesn't match the generated color.
See this screenshot, in FCP:
http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/colordiscrepancymotion.png
Three blues: leftmost, the color generator resized to a small rectangle; on the center, the shape that I created in Photoshop and imported into a Motion project, dropped into FCP; rightmost, an instance of Photoshop CS2 running in a virtual WinXP in Parallels Desktop. You'll notice that the blues of the generator and Photoshop match, but the middle shape that travelled the CS2->Motion->FCP route is a different shade.
Narrowing it down further, I decided to import the PSD file directly into FCP (just to see if it'd match - it needs to go through Motion for the final product). Here's a screengrab of Canvas this time:
http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/colordiscrepancy_motion2.png
Again, from left to right: the generated rectangle, the directly imported PSD, the PSD in the imported Motion project. The first two match, but something in Motion or the Photoshop->Motion route screws up the colors of the blue-green shape (as well as the Työterveyslaitos logo on the top left, also a PSD, in the same Motion project). The blue shade is also incorrect in the Motion canvas, pre-import to FCP.
What's going on here, and how can I fix things?
The project settings are PAL DV in both FCP and Motion. No rendering has been done, I'm importing the .motn into FCP as-is.
Any help is greatly appreciated, deadlines loom...

First, double-check that your PSD is in RGB, but I suspect it it or it wouldn't even work in FCP. I suspect a gamma issue moving between the apps:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93794
You might try setting the colorspace in FCP to RGB or adding a gamma filter in Motion to adjust.

Problem embedding video in Pages and exporting as epub

I'm using pages 09 ver 4.2 (1008). I' trying to embed video (.m4v and .mov) I can't find the checkbox 'Copy audio and movies into document'. The user guide says it's an advanced option on the 'save as' but my version of pages runnning on Lion 10.7.4 doesn't have a save as'- just a 'save a version. It apparently does auto save).
I'm using Book Proofer to send the epub generated by Pages to my iPad. The strange thing is that some times the videos work and then I add another and one that used to work don't even appear when viewed on my iPad.
Any one had experience adding video (eother m4v or mov files using pages and exporting as a epub?
Thanks for any insights!
Steve

As far as I know, the Keynote export does not support video, only images and text (and, new with version 3, mp3 audio!).

View jobs with SQL Developer and export to file with delimiter

Hi,
is there a way to view, create and alter my database jobs with SQL developer?
And is it possible to export tables, views or simple queries to file delimited different from the CSV standard?
Diego.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum!!
To select data from a table or a view you must use the SELECT sql command. Example to get the data from your view you can
select ZMATNUM,ZMATCUR,ZMATATTR from ZMATERIALAs you have said you are using SQL Developer just execute the above query in your sql developer and it will show the data. Right click the grid and export the data to excel file.

Problem importing PSD (with multiple groups and layers) into After Effects. Help!

I created a "comic strip" in photoshop (multiple rectangle shape layers, then various shapes within each box for each frame of the comic strip) that I want to import into AE. When I import it as a composition (to keep my layers), however, what appears is an simply a black image with white lines where the lines of the comic strip used to be. I checked the color modes, but they are both in RGB so I don't think that's the problem. Also, when I double click the cartoon strip composition, I can choose certain groups from the mini flow-chart at the top left and view those individual frames. However, I can't view the entire comic strip as a whole, which is necessary for my animation. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as I'm on a tight time constraint. Thanks!

When I asked what version down to the last decimal, I meant it. After Effects version should start with 11, but we need the numbers after that too.
And I understand that you want to pan between them, so just put all the different PSD's you import into the same comp and pan between them.

Import from dsv files and export to csv files

hi every body..
how can I create a project in NetBeans which does:
1- import a .dsv (Delimiter-Separated Values) file content and save it to array
- the values in this format separated by fixed commas
example
"AIG" "Insurance" "64.91" "25/11/06"
2- export into .csv file (Comma Separated Value)
-the values in this format separated by commas
example:
AIG,Insurance,64.91,25/11/06

Well, you need to learn Java so you can read files, divide the data by the delimiters, and then write it out as a csv file.
Can't really give better instructions than that...maybe start by reading the basic tutorials?
We don't give out full program code here so you'll need to ask more precise questions. Such as what is it that you're having problems with.

Problem importing PSD or PNG with transparent background

I am using eLearning Suite 2. (CP5 Photoshop CS5)
I am trying to import a PSD or PNG. I am using it as part of a master slide. It is a simple shape, with a transparent background containing a gradient overlay, inner shadow, bevel and emboss. When imported, it appears correctly in the design area of Captivate. However, when viewed in the browser, it acts as if it is an animation and I get what looks like a red color bar spectrum. I have tried to flatten the layers and I still have the problem. When I save it as a .JPG, it works fine. However, as a PSD or PNG, it is a problem. Seems like captivate may be having trouble rendering the gradient or transparent background. Anyone else run into this issue?
Files below:

PSD File: http://coventry.mzinga.com/content/ss/temp/bottom_wave.psd
Thanks,

So, I thought it might have something to do with the "effects" settings in Photoshop. HOWEVER, I took a regular photo, cut out a part, and put it on a tranparent background. This file as both a png and PSD have a halo that fades in and fades out. I checked timing and I have it set to no transition for the item and show for rest of slide. I did not have this issue prior to upgrading from 4. Hmmmm.

Shared Services 11.1.1.3 - Problem importing Bus Rules from LCM Exports

Hi,
We have some Bus Rules in Calc Mgr that are named the same as the corresponding webform. For instance, a bus rule may be named '2.1.4 - Budget Load'. When we export all bus rules and then try and import them in to target (can be same server), they say they were successful, however none show up in Calc Mgr. After exhaustive testing, we took out the period (.) in the name and made it '2_1_4 - Budget Load' and it worked fine and migrates ok. My question is if anyone knows if this is a know issue bug or are periods not allowed like parens in Bus Rules names? It's weird as I swear this was working on a earlier version of Shared Services. We are upgraded to the latest patch on Shared Services too.
Anyone have an older version of 11.1.1.3 Shared Services that they can test this on for me? Thinking Oracle may not have regression tested :)

Straight from Oracle Support.... What a joke their regression testing is.....
Thank you for your updates.
I found the following Bug for 11.1.1.3. It is as follows :
"Bug 8489999 - Filenames without ext, with artifact ids containing "." are not migrated. "
According to the Development Team, it is validated with Drop 5 build 17.
When discussing this issue with the Development Team earlier today, they wanted to check if this behaviour is noticed even when using 'admin' and Application Owner Account.

Problems Importing pdfs into iBook and sync to iPad air 2

Is there a solution to what appears to be a widespread problem within the community? That of not being able to import books in pdf form into iBooks and subsequently syncing with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1. This seems to be specific to pdfs not 'purchased' from iTunes. In the past I have had all my software manuals available on my iPad, synced with my iMac, all working happily and would dearly love to return this situation.
I then upgraded to iOS 8. Big mistake. iTunes on the iMac (OS 10.6.8) does not sync pdfs to new iPad.
Try syncing from MacBookPro (OS 10.10) still no luck.
There are suggestions to use iTunes, but there is no longer an option to view 'Books' in iTunes.
Can anybody offer a work around until such times as the collective 'apple digit' is removed and a not so 'minor bug' is fixed?
Are Apple working on this problem or even aware of it?

Have you tried the shortcut to add books/pdfs Command Shift O?
Command Shift O is not available in iBooks (Greyed Out)
Command Shift in Finder shortcuts to Documents
Maybe I didn't explain myself very well earlier. When I am working in iBooks, having control clicked multiple files and selected 'Open With iBooks' to get the pdfs into iBooks, (as per your suggestion) a click on a pdf icon initiates nothing, a double click causes the pdf to open in Preview. This I can achieve from the Finder.
The reason I haven't tried to sync from the MBP is that I rely on iPad iBooks as a reference source. At the moment it is working but not the way I want it to (Sync via iMac 10.8.6). When Ibooks on the MBP is finally OK, then I will try.
Thanks for hanging in there.
