Re-import podcast question

I downloaded a bunch of podcasts from a favorite provider. Since, there were so many, I deleted some from itunes but saved them so they are still in the poscast folder itunes put them in.
Is there a way to import these files so itunes sees them as part of the podcast that they came from, or do they now have to be library files?
Thanks.

Answer is no.
Sometimes no answer to a question means there isn't a way to do what you want. For some reason iTunes doesn't support this just like added episodes downloaded using browser do not show under podcast list

Is there a way I can import podcasts?

I would like to find out if there is a way to import podcasts into the native Playbook podcast app from my desktop without downloading them. I have tried searching the Playbook file system but it looks like I don't have access to a lot of files and folders. Is there a way of accessing them and would that allow me to import podcasts to a podcast folder?
Thanks!

I probably did not explain issue well enough in my first post. I do not have any problem downloading podcasts to my Playbook. What I want to do and I'm not sure if the Playbooks native podcast app supports it, is to import podcasts from my desktop. I was naively thinking that there would be a folder somewhere in the Playbook similar to the music or document folder where I could drag and drop my podcasts.

Importing Podcast Subscriptions

Is it possible to import podcast subscriptions? I have a new computer and would like to move the subscriptions from the old one.

It may be because you are using the same Apple ID in the two iTunes libraries, to sign in to the iTunes Store.
Open iTunes Preferences Store tab. There is a setting (checkbox) that says Sync podcast subscriptions and settings. If that setting is enabled, see if unchecking it makes a difference regarding this problem.

Can't import podcast from cloud

I just got a new Acer computer (Windows 8) and when I installed iTunes I now cannot import podcasts from my subscription to my library so I can sync with my ipod. The new podcasts show in the Feed but when I try to Save I get an "!".
I tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing to no avail. I don't have a problem when using my laptop.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

No option to import GIFT question as pretest

I'm importing a gift file, and it appears to default to "Graded", with no option to change it to Pretest. Not a huge problem with smaller courses but it would be nice to import pretest questions as well. Unless I'm just missing something?

I think the likely reason has to do with where the Pretest questions need to be located (prior to any other quiz questions in the timeline) and the fact that they all need to belong to the same Pretest group.
In any case, I tend to agree that it would have been better (from an instructional designers view) to have more freedom. But we don't build Captivate, only use it.

Importing Quiz Questions

I'm trying to find a way to reuse some questions in my course for inclusion in a Final Quiz, without having to reinput all of the questions.
I made a copy of my course and imported the questions I wanted for my Final Quiz. I didn't think I could use these, as they had the same interaction ID as the questions in my course. Is there a way around having to reinput questions from my course I want to include in a Final Quiz without retyping all and have my scoring work property when reporting to LMS?
Thanks very much.
Susan

Yes, you can change them, just make sure they are unique within the quiz. They are auto generated to keep them from being repeated.
Usually I've seen the quiz import tool create new unique interaction id's for questions. The only time I have seen the interaction ID repeated is if you use the copy/paste function to recreate the quiz slides. However, it has been a while since I used the import quiz tool.
The cat-on-keyboard method is one trick I have seen used to keep the id's random.

How to re-import podcasts

I have about 400 podcasts in my iTunes library. They are all imported correctly -- that is, they show up as Podcasts, not as files in the Music Library.
Now, I need to re-format my iPod, and re-import everything. I have no problem importing my MP3 files; I just use Add Folder to Library and point to the top-level folder. Same with photos -- I can re-synch them with no problems.
But how do I re-import the podcast files that are on my system? I do not want to go back to the source podcasts; in fact, in many cases the original sources are no longer available. (Besides, I have over 500MB of podcast files, and don't want/need to re-download them.)
All of these files are in the \Podcast folder on my hard drive. But if I just use Add Folder to Library, they're going to import into my Music Library as music files, and not podcasts, correct?
How can I tell iTunes that I want to import these podcast files -- AS PODCASTS, just as they were before I re-formatted?? They all have extensions of .mp3 (not .m4b or anything like that). How can I import the files so that they re-create the podcast information (such as the date)?

If they are in your iTunes library then you should be alright. After restoring the iPod, simply sync it to iTunes and everything will be copied over. This only works with auto sync iPod, that is the only way I have ever done it.

So what do you do when you import - a questions for all??

So far I have not had them time to dive into LR 1.1 as I would like to.
Although lately that time has been free'ing up. While I currently do use LR
to import and tag my photos, I have not tried much else except the album
part, but even that has been minimal. I shot mostly in jpeg, but some raw as
well. So my questions to you all, other than just importing as I do, what
else do you do? I mean, do you do auto adjustments as you import? Sometimes,
when I import, I will have 200-600 photos. I know I do not want all of them
and will delete some. And then some, I think I will want to eventually move
into collections to create a digital portfolio of sorts. I know LR is just
in it's beginning stages, but still presents a lot of power.
Secondly to this, do many of you use LR in conjunction with Bridge and PS
CS3 and if so, how do you bring it all together?
I know this could warrant some exhaustive answers, but I think it could be
fun to see what all we do and whatnot and maybe get some ideas from one
another. So let's hear from you!?!?

I don't use any develop preset. I do apply a metadata preset with basic contact and copyright. It also applies a purple label (the only label with no shortcut) which means Rate and Add Metadata. I apply the same keywords as Robert and any others that apply to all photos. I apply the lens and camera tags because folks on flickr appreciate it. Different cameras write lens identity differently so a lens tag is actually easier to use than the MB. After import I'll apply a metadata template for location.
Further use of labels:
none - keep but don't work on further
Red - process
Green - Raw/DNG done
Yellow - full size derivative
Blue - reduced size for web
CR2/CRW files that I process are also flagged as Pick. I export/import a DNG of these to serve as a local backup. The DNG's are not flagged. This allows me see just what I want very easily. I have CR2/CRW files and DNG of the keepers so that I have the native files in case I decide to develop with something that doesn't handle DNG and the DNG's for the possibility that the native Canon files will become obsolete.

Standard Midi File Import/Export Questions

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with Standard MIDI files, in that, after exporting them, and importing them back into another Logic project to test them, some of them will split/demix. That is, instead of one MIDI region appearing, it imports as two MIDI regions, with the notes of the part split between the two regions (the notes seem to split according to velocity, not note value).
Here is my question related to this:
Is it possible to export a Standard MIDI File for each "part" in a project, rather than one SMF for all the MIDI files in a project? (i.e., create one SMF for each software instrument track)? This is what I'm trying to do. The reason is that I'm trying to prepare and save some MIDI files to include with the audio files in a remix pack, and, since it's likely that the various remixers will be using different DAWs such as Cubase, I'm assuming that a SMF that includes all the various parts might not import into their program correctly. Is my assumption wrong? I.E., will most DAWs, like Cubase, etc., correctly import a SMF that includes all parts, and upon import split those parts correctly?
I'm following all the instructions for "Saving Standard MIDI Files" from the Logic Pro manual, except that I am not merging all the different instruments' MIDI regions together; I'm only merging each individual parts' MIDI regions.
Thanks!

Well I think the problem is solved. There was a conflict between Logic and iLife 06. I bought a new computer this week and had to load everything into it. I decided not to put in iLife 06 yet including Garageband and all the jam packs. I loaded all the new .caf files off the Logic DVD
I opened a midi file and all tracks loaded with Logic instruments. the problem was that a lot of the instruments had been erased somehow or over written by Logic studio. Now I believe they are all there and things are working as they should

Import Quality Question

Ok I don't know much about this but,
How much audio quality do you lose when you import from a CD? Also, if the answer is lots, then does iTunes use that lossless audio encoder called apple lossless and if not where can I get and what do I need to use it? kinda 3 questions in one there...

Choose iTunes > Preferences> General pane and click Import Settings.
Choose an encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.
You can listen to songs encoded in AAC or Apple Lossless formats in iTunes and on iPod models that come with a dock connector. If you plan to listen to your music using a different program or MP3 player, choose MP3 Encoder.
If you want to burn high-quality audio CDs with the songs you’re importing, without losing quality, choose Apple Lossless or AIFF. (Keep in mind that songs imported using this format use much more disc space.)
If you’ll be playing your songs on a computer that does not have MP3 software, choose WAV.
Choose a bit rate from the Setting pop-up menu (not available with Apple Lossless Encoder). In most cases, the default selection works well.
Higher Quality: Choose if you chose MP3 Encoder and plan to create your own audio CDs or listen to your music with high-quality stereo speakers.
High Quality: Choose if you play music in a noisy environment. This setting creates files that are about 1 MB in size per minute of music.
Good Quality: Use to fit more songs on a portable MP3 player with limited storage capacity.
Custom: Choose for greater control over the file size and sound quality.
To choose AIFF and WAV import settings:
Choose iTunes > Preferences>General pane and click Import Settings.
Choose AIFF Encoder or WAV Encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.
Choose Custom from the Setting pop-up menu.
In the dialog that appears, choose settings:
Sample Rate: The number of times per second the music waveforms are captured digitally. The higher the sample rate, the higher the quality and the larger the file size. Don't choose a sample rate higher than the rate used to store the music originally or you'll waste space. CD quality, for example, is 44.100 kHz, so choosing a higher rate when you're encoding from a CD is unnecessary. In general, the best choice is Auto, which uses the same rate as the original music.
Sample Size: The number of bits used to store each sample taken as the music is encoded. The higher the sample size, the better the quality and the larger the file size.
Channels: If you don't have stereo speakers or if your audio files are monaural (mono files are about half the size of stereo files), choose Mono. If you'll be listening through headphones or a stereo system, choose Stereo or Auto. Auto converts monaural tracks into mono files and stereo tracks into stereo files.

Import: performance question

Hi, what is the different between these statements for application in term of performance?
import java.io.*;
and
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
Which one is faster for execution?

Neither. Search the forums or web for the countless answers to the same question.

Import numbering question

I've recently made the migration from Aperture to Lightroom. I was using a referenced workflow in Aperture so it was easy to simply import my folders into LR2.4. My keywords and metadata even came in without the use of sidecar files. My question is about numbering new imports now that I have my main catalog migrated.
In Aperture I had been renaming files on import to XXX_000000.CR2. I've imported over 15K images already through Aperture this way. Now that I've migrated into LR how can I continue from where my numbering left off? None of the numbering options seem to be the right solution.
Sequence gives me the option to set a starting number but resets to 1 on each import.
Images keeps the running tally I want but no way to set a starting point that I can find.
Import I'm just unclear on.
I've been searching and not finding any real answers. I found a tip for editing a LR file to add additional digits to the length of a sequence number (LR stops at 5 digits by default) So I'm wondering if there's a similar workaround or hack for the image number. To possibly complicate matters I have separated my images out into multiple catalogs and I'd like the numbering to be maintained regardless of which catalog I'm importing to.
Hope I'm not asking too much. For the moment I'm still using Aperture to do my original import to keep the numbering and the adding the new folder of images to LR for processing as my work around.
Any thoughts? TIA
Mike D.

Yes, This helped me!
Thank you so much for figuring this out. I have been trying to figure this out for months. Finally I can control the numbering.
I Shoot an event on several different cards everytime I imported LR3 reset to 001. Made my sequencing a hassle. I had to go into Bridge or PM to rename the images for an event.

Import Song Question

I am running Itunes 6.0.4 and had a question about importing music into ITunes.
There is a setting under the Pref options in Advanced that talks about "Filter Freq. under 10Hz". Does this setting have to be checked? And if not, what does this option really affect? Also, would having this option unchecked be the reason the music I import sound somewhat flat?
I have one other question as well, The option about Error Correction, is this a good option to have checked?
Thanks

If more than one entry is found for the CD (which can occur if more than one person submitted information for the same CD to the Gracenote service), select one of the entries. If it isn’t correct, choose Advanced > Get CD Track Names again and choose the other entry. If it’s still not correct, you can edit the information yourself.

Import Movie Question

I am importing a number of .avi files into iMovie. All is working fine but have a question. When the Import is selected and the Import dialog appears there is a choice: move or copy the import file. I don't seem to see much difference in the choice as selecting either one seems to leave a copy of the .avi source in the iMovie folder structure. I am wondering if this .avi is any different than the source file? In my case these files are huge (30 GB) and I don't need to keep the source if the the file in the iMovie directory is the same as the original.

When the Import is selected and the Import dialog appears there is a choice: move or copy the import file. I don't seem to see much difference in the choice as selecting either one seems to leave a copy of the .avi source in the iMovie folder structure.
If working properly, the "Move" option should copy the source file to an Event in iMovie and then delete the original file. The "Copy" option, on the other hand, is supposed to copy the source file to the iMovie Event and also leave the original source file undisturbed.
I am wondering if this .avi is any different than the source file?
AVI actually refers to the file container and the manner in which the audio and video tracks are synchronized by the interleaving of data frames -- i.e., like the way cogs of different sized wheels are meshed together so that if one wheel turns faster, the other will also speed up preventing one from overrunning the other. As long as the original data compression formats are compatible with iMovie '08, then files can be imported at the File level. This import does not change or re-compress the data in any way as in the case of "Import from Camera..." operations in which incompatible camcorder compression formats must be re-compressed and modified so as to be "edit" compatible at the frame level in iMovie '08.

Import podcast MP3 to iphone

I want to import a podcast into my iphone as an MP3 file in a separate playlist and no longer have considered a podcast. How can I do that?

Disappointed that I got no help from this community. Maybe it had already been answered so I was ignored? I tried to use the search function but results for searching a variety of compbinations of the words "blackberry, export, addressbook" wasn't turning up much.
Anyway, for anyone else who might be searching for the answer, I figured out that it's quite easy to synch your blackberry to your Outlook (if you haven't already), then sync your iPhone to your Outlook. It all transfers over well and without too much loss of data. The only thing it won't carry (and I'm not sure how many would care) is people's BB PIN numbers. Everything else was perfect. Even contact photos were transfered and placed properly.
Cheers!
