PS3 droplet called from command line in XP reads in files but does not execute action

Hello.
I am a researcher interested in anxiety disorders in young children. As part of a functional magnetic resonace brain imaging study we need to compare children's responses to familiar and unfamiliar faces. The latter are no problem, but for the former we need to take pictures of the children's mothers and process them "on the fly" so that they can be incorporated into stimulus sets presented in the MRI machine (otherwise known as the "magnet").
For presentation in the magnet, the images have to be in a particular format. I have created an action that produces the appropriate format, and a PS3 droplet that behaves appropriately (outputs correctly modified files to the stated address) when a Windows XP (SP3) folder is dropped on it.
However, I need to automate the procedure further because it will be executed by individuals with little or no understanding of PS etc.
It occurred to me that I could call my droplet from the XP command line with the folder containing the relevant files as an argument (and then I would be able to incorporate this function into an overall control program).
However, I have found that this approach loads the relevant files into CS3, but that the actions don't run.
I would very much appreciate any help with this problem.
Thank you.
Adrian Angold.

A command line script might work, but would lack a user interface. Error
processing and logging capabilities would also be limited.
I would consider writing a small application in a language such as Visual
Basic or C# that uses Photoshop's automation interface. The automation SDK
is provided on the Photoshop DvD.

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first to print from safari notes print no problem any suggestions?

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first time i have attempted to print from safari , notes print fine no problems. It is like on a desktop my print is sitting in the queue there are error messages only the usual print dialogue. I've turned the printer off and back on with no luck any suggestions?

That's very strange. See if clearing the cache in Safari will make it work. I'll include the steps below. If that doesn't help, install a different browser, such as Opera, to see if that will print from pages that Safari won't. If it will, then something is wrong with Safari. If it doesn't print, then the web pages might have printing blocked. There are sites that are doing that for copyright reasons. Let me know what you find.
To clear the cache on Safari:
Open Settings.
Select Safari
Touch Clear Cache.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear Cookies.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear History.

I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car audio radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. There is a specific way to save the music into folders and name them. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW.

I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. So it plays certain folders, then it skips folders. in certain folders it skips tracks. apparently there is a specific way to save the music into folders onto the USB with regard to naming the tracks and folders.. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW. Can anyone please help.

It is a stick, Cruzer Blade 16gig.
In the manual it says the following about the USB storage device:
1. Playable folder hierarchy is up to 8 tiers
2. Playable folders up to 500
3. Playable files up to 15 000
Under sequence of audio files it says that the user cannot assign folder numbers and specify playback sequences with this unit. It also gives an example of a hierarchy:
01 - folder
Under that is 02 which is also a folder
Under that are compressed audio files 01 to 05: folder number
Under that there is another folder same concept as above - I have attached that part of the manual in this response.
I named my folder - Folder 001 Artists name and then in that folder I added the tracks as:
001 Song title
002 song title
It played the 1st song in the folder and skipped to the next folder, I can't even locate the other tracks.
On another folder I saved 31 songs but only 29 played so I am not sure whether there is a limit.
All I need is an example of how to number and name everything.

TS2551 In order to print from Iphoto 11 , it ask for a theme , but does not supply a window in which to make a theme.

I need to print from Iphoto , but it ask for a theme , but does not supply a window or a way to apply the theme.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad. When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded. When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased". When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased.
I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store. This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases. I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access. As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary). But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
Help!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Could not call batch from command line processing

I am experiencing a strange scenario where I am able to run the FR report by scheduling a batch in HFM and that creates RecRecon successfully. I am trying to do this as a batch script by using the command line script ScheduleBatch.cmd <xml file> <server name> <user name> <pass word>.
This fails to create the report and I see an error message as below
"Problem encountered in 'EMERALD/Admin/RecReport01'
Error executing query: The member user Point of view for Year doesn't exist in this application"
Can any one of you help me recover this issue?

Error while running a Discoverer Workbook with parameter from command line

I am trying to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls on to my local machine. I could do it fine for a simple workbook, but if I add a parameter(madatory) to the workbook and run it from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for, I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr.exe /connect user/password@database /apps_user /apps_responsibility "System Administrator" /eul EUL_US /open C:\Disco\Test.DIS /sheet Testsheet /parameter Period Jan-07 /export xls C:\Disco\X.xls /batch
Parameter value is entered in correct format(Jan-07).
When I removed /batch from this to see if I get any error, Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Did anybody come across this issue before?

Hello,
If you have a few minutes, Windows is also aborting for me:
the differences are, my situation is:
a) am running the command line from a .bat file
b) am NOT running with parms, want the discoverer query to come up for the user
c) am running a query from the database
i am signing in as myself BUT running a query that was created by a generic user called SREG
c) if i run the .bat file from Windows Explorer, the query opens fine
d) if i execute the .bat file from within Microsoft Access using the shell command,
the query opens and then aborts RIGHT BEFORE the parm screen would display
e) btw, if i modify the .bat file, to run a query from MY database signon, then (d) - running .bat file
from vb using SHELL command works
Do you have a ideas as to why (d) does not work? I would be very grateful for your time, tx, sandra
this is what i posted yesterday, tx: Re: Running Discoverer command line
tx, sandra

Query runs from command line, but not from scheduler

We use Control-M to schedule shell scripts to be run on a Solaris server. Some of the scripts have to access an Oracle database and in that case our security team will include the DB user and password in the script, then encrypt it and the sys admin team schedules the encrypted shell script with Control-M. That works fine, but we've been trying to have the DB user and password on a separate encrypted file so that we don't have to ask for file encryption every time it's necessary to modify a script (this is a test environment).
We have the script at ~/system_name/scripts, the query at ~/system_name/sql and the encrypted file and key at ~/system_name/keys. The SQLPlus call in the script is:
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus "`decrypt -a 3des -k ./../keys/key.3des.system -i ./../keys/login.system`"@instance_name <<EOF
@${DIR_SQL}/TEST_QUERY.SQL
quit
EOF
The security analyst has tested is successfully from command line, but when we schedule it with Control-M the job abends and we get the following in the sysout:
+ decrypt -a 3des -k ./../keys/key.3des.system -i ./../keys/login.system
decrypt: cannot open ./../keys/key.3des.system
decrypt: invalid key.
+ /u00/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/sqlplus @instance_name
+ 0<<

Any ideas?

Looks like the command is being split in some way - the connection to sqlplus is being made before it completes the whole string
It appears to be seeing the @instance_name as a script to execute rather than a db to connect to.
Is the database on the same server as the script?
If so, try setting your environment to the correct databsae, so that you can omit the @instance_name part of the syntax and see if it helps
Also just noticed the failure to open the decrypt script. It would appear uyou are not using a full path name. Have you checked which directroy the scheduled job starts in? You may need to look at running some environment specific scripts first.

How can pass the data from Command line to Applet?

Hi,
I am writing a chat application by using sockets. For that purpose I need to pass the parameter data from command line to Applets. Is there any method to receive command line args data in Applets? If so please tell me.

Passing command line arguments to an applet is not possible, but for the same you can try using param tags, within your applet tag.
For eg:
<applet.......>
<param name="xyz" value="abcdef">
</applet>
Within the applet's any method like init call <getParameter("xyz");>
will return u the value.

Hi,
If you are still having problems creating a domain from the command line, the official solution would be to use
{proper_path}/bea/weblogic{proper_version}/common/bin/config.sh -mode=console
This will guide you to the same steps as the visual version of the wizard, but using the command prompt.
If you are using windows, the same works but with the command config.cmd, and mutatis mutandis.

SQL Developer BRIDGE command from command line on Windows environment

Is it possible to call SQL Developer BRIDGE command from command line on Windows environment?

Hi <please supply your name>,
SQL Developer Worksheet is not available from the command line.
The BRIDGE command is only supported in the Worksheet.
Its an interesting idea though. Are you trying to script data move from a non Oracle database to an Oracle database using the BRIDGE command?
The BRIDGE command was initially done to allow a simple data move from a non Oracle database to Oracle. We then build the "Copy to Oracle" feature out of it.
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/cross-database-bridge-statement.html
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/copy-to-oracle.html
Since the BRIDGE command references connection names, which have to be defined in UI of SQL Developer any solution to run this on the command line would have to work this out.
There are number of ways you can do this without using the BRIDGE command.
1) Perform a capture/convert of your non Oracle database and then generate the "offline" data move scripts.
Theses scripts use SQL*Loader and your non Oracle database tool (Ex: Sybase BCP).
These are run from the command line and can be modified ....
2) Use a database link from your Oracle database to your non Oracle database and reference /query the data that way.
I would interested to hear your thoughts.
Regards,
Dermot
