Reading old VB3 projects into VB6

I need to import/read in/translate an old VB3 project into VB6 in order to update and revise. I am new to VB6 (though not new to Basic - since 1976) and can't seem to find any way to do this.

I wrote a vb6 app back in the day to do this I can share if you want, it uses search + replace to go through frm files replacing vbx references with their ocx equivalents among other things, also 16->32 converts for forms that use 3rd party components from the likes of farpoint, infragistics, crystal, desaware, and creates valid 32bit frx
Only problem I can remember with it is forms that have a tabbed dialog on so before conversion copy and paste all tab page controls out to the form and re-add the control in vb6

Updating old iMovie projects

I'm using the latest version of fcpx (10.2) and I'm trying to move all my old iMovie projects into fcp
I have old iMovie projects on almost every version of iMovie dating including iMovie HD, iMovie '11, iMovie 10
I'm very confused between the latest iMovie versions. I believe that iMovie 11 is actually older than iMovie 10? ('11 referring to the year it came out and 10 relating it to os X or fcpX?)
I think its the iMovie 11 software that used the iMovie project and iMovie events folders. I think this older iMovie software expected you to import the iMovie project from the old version earliest version of fcpx? (or export an xml file?) I think the newer iMovie 10 wants you to export the iMovie project to the latest version of fcpx 10.2?
Is it possible to move a project from the older iMovie (11?) to the newest fcpx (10.2)? Do I need to do an intermediary step and upgrade from the older iMovie to the newest iMovie? Do movie trailers work the same way from both iMovie programs if converted first to movie project form?
Thanks

Hi I had the same issue and fixed it with deleting "UpdatedtoiMovie10" see step 4.
n the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
Open the Movies folder.
Move the “iMovie Library” file to the Trash.
Note: If you have imported content or created projects with iMovie version 10.0, do not delete this file.
In the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, you’ll find a file named “UpdatedtoiMovie10.” Move this file to the Trash from both folders.
Open iMovie.
Choose File > Update Projects and Events.

Converting a Final Cut Pro project into one Final Cut Express HD can read..

Is there any way I can convert a final cut pro project into something i can open in an earlier version of final cut, namely final cut express HD?

Tim,
Unfortunately you can not go from FCP to FCExpress. You can go backwards from say FCP7 to FCP6 or FCP 5 using XML's. The XML version depends on which FCP you have.

How to look/ read old messages without plugging into computer

How to get old pictures back and messages

If you deleted pictures without importing them to the computer, they are gone. Messages are kept in the backup, but once they are deleted they are gone as well.
What are you trying to do? Even plugging into the computer will not allow you to read old messages if you have deleted them.

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

Problems importing IOS project into Mac 10.8.5

My good old 2009 Macbook Pro has served me well for 6 years, but now I can't seem to find a solution to what I thought should be a simple issue. Lately I've been doing sketches on my iPad using GB for IOS, 2.0.1 It's an awesome tool, but the sketches need development.
I tried importing into my Mac's GB---"Sorry you need the next version of GB." I tried importing into Logic Pro 9.1.8--- no results/never rendered.
So I thought, well $5 ain't so much for the new GB---now however I find it's not compatible w/ 10.8.5---"Sorry, you need Yosemite."
I've been upgrading my OS on this Macbook Pro over the years, and all it's done has made the computer more quirky, slower, prone to hang, &c. We all know Apple moves their latest hardware (partly) by obsoleting the old stuff through OS "upgrades" that turn your machine into a clunky fossil. The computer still does fine, as long as I don't overtax it---I don't want to buy another and I'm loath to install Yosemite, I saw some horror stories from people who tried putting it on a machine it was never intended for.
Anyway, the question is: anyone out there know of a way for me to import my iPad GB projects into this computer? Would a slightly earlier version of GB for Mac work, and if so, where can I get it?
Thanks,
John in Houston

Which version of GarageBand are you using on your Mac?
Any version of GarageBand 6.0.1 or later should be able to open GarageBand iOS projects.
See this link: GarageBand for iOS and Mac: Project compatibility - Apple Support
GarageBand 6.0.1 comes with iLife '11 installer disks, you can buy them at Amazon or eBay and then update to GarageBand 6.0.5 from the Support downloads page.
Any version of GarageBand '11 is compatible with your MacOS X version. The latest version is GarageBand 6.0.5 .
Since your MacBook Pro can run Mt. Lion, you should be able to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd ask in the MacBook Pro forum, why your Mac is slow. It is not necessarily due to the System upgrades, but can be caused by incompatible software or a lack of RAM.

HT4115 How can I get my Final Cut Express 4 projects into Final Cut Pro X?

I'm going to be switching to OSX Lion, and will have to update Final Cut, since express won't run on Lion. Thus I have to get X. With the new 64-bit Pro X is there a way to open my past projects? I know that at one time you could open up older versions of FC in higher and newer versions. I've heard about Assisted Editing's 7toX for Final Cut Pro application that allows you to convert your old FCP 7 files to be used in FCP X. Does anyone know of the best way I can assure not loosing all my current work?

You can't import FCE projects into FCP X but you can import the media.
You may well find that FCE will work on Lion.
It seems OK on mine.
Why do you want to go to Lion? Snow Leopard is probably a better OS in many ways.

Embed one project into another (nesting)

One feature that I would love to have in a slide show software is the ability to embed one project into another. Is this a feature of Keynote?
Here is where it would be handy:
I was in a band an we needed to put all of the lyrics for our original songs up on the big screen when we were playing. Neither or "set list" nor order was finalized, but was going to be 10 songs out of a possible 15. We wouldn't know until only minutes before going on. Since I play bass and had to be on stage, I had to have it simple enough for a 12 year old kid to run the presentation.
I could figure no way that I could possibly cut and paste and remove all the slides into the correct order right before going on stage. I worried about this for 2 days and figured out what to do.
I used Adobe Indesign and set each song up as it's own file. Then using InDesign's build book feature, I linked all the files into a book file. 5 minutes before the show, I resorted the chapters in the book file, and exported to PDF. I ran the PDF in full screen mode and the 12 year old girl just sat there and hit the spacebar for our songs. It worked perfectly.
Is there a way that I can do separate projects in Keynote and assemble them quickly like I did with InDesign and Acrobat?
Thanks,
Kirk

OK, if you don't want them all in the same Keynote file so you can hyperlink around the file to the desired slide numbers, then try this.
Create your Keynote of a song. Name it easily so you can find it easily. At the end of each song keynote, put a "Return to Index" and hyperlink it to the Keynote with the program. On the program slide you can Name the songs, Song 1, Song 2, Song 3, and Song 4. Of course, you can enter the name of the song in the program slide. If you use the generic name the process of creating the hyperlink is an easy one (it's even easy if you enter the name of the song you want). If you keep all song Keynotes in the same folder with the index, it's a matter of selecting the file title as the Keynote slideshow to hyperlink to. So you can change the four songs in a program presentation in about 2 minutes max. so you get:
File name: Agenda
Modern Church of God
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Reverent I M. Religious, presiding
10:30 am
Call to order
Song 1 (hyperlink to "Rock of Ages")
Processional
Prayer
Song 2 (hyperlink to "Bringing in the Sheaves")
Announcements
Reading
Song 2 (hyperlink to "Ave Maria")
Sermon, "How do we maximize our resources."
Song 3 ((hyperlink to "Jesus Loves Me")
Digressional
Song 4 (Oh, What I friend we have in Jesus)
At the end of the Rock of Ages lyrics Place
"Return to Program" and hyperlink to "Agenda"
For the next week, "Agenda 10/17" Change the hyperlinks for songs to the new selection of keynotes you have created earlier. It will take about a minute or two to make the changes. You do each one by clicking the Enable hyperlink selection box when one of the song references is selected. The pull the pull down menu to Keynote Slideshow. A box will open. Go to your folder with all song and agenda files. Select the song keynote you want to access with the click, when you select the song file and click "Open" your connection is made. You then project the agenda file on Sunday morning. When you reach song 1, you click on it and the song's keynote comes up. When the song is finished, click on Return to Program and your program Keynote is back up.
The only time consumer in this process is entering the song lyrics into their own keynote files. If you have somewhere to copy and paste the words, then it's easy. The mechanics of creating the weekly connection is very easy. Once you have your resources created, preparation time for a Sunday program will be only a long as it takes you to enter the planned agenda components.

Opening old Premiere Projects in Premiere Pro CS5

I have some old video projects which I've saved to disk with the idea that I could go back and edit them later. I just tried to open one of these old projects in Premiere Pro CS5 and it doesn't recognize the old Premiere Pro project. PP CS5 projects now end with *.prel or *.prproj. My old projects (some done in Premiere 6, some in PP CS) ended with *.ppj. I opened the *.ppj file properties and tried changing them from "Opens with Adobe Premiere Pro CS" to "Opens with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5", but it looks like the file suffix remains *.ppj and PP CS5 still doesn't recognize it.
Is there a way I can convert my old PP projects to PP CS5 so they can be opened/edited in my current software?
Thanks.
--Dave

David,
Per my earlier post, if you change that from All Supported Media to All Files, can you Import?
[Edit] I see that All Files did work, and that you are up and editing! That is great news.
As mentioned, the only issue that I had was with a very few 3rd party Transitions, and PrPro was nice enough to tell me exactly where these were used, and what their names were. I just wrote down those TimeCodes, added Cross-Dissolves to replace whatever the previous editor had used, and was up and editing.
Now, I did have to go through the "Where is file ____?" process, as the previous editor had drawn Assest from ALL over an external HDD, with no folder structures, or anything useful - what a kludge! I organized all of the Assets (many thousands) into logical order, and once I had re-established the links, all went beautifully.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - the reason that I asked about platforms is that Pr was X-platofrm, but then with PrPro, through version 2.0, it was PC-only. It was not until CS3, that it went back X-platform. This created a little problem for Mac users, with newer PrPro versions, but older PC Projects. We get about 1 of these issues per year, and the answer is for the Mac user to befriend a PC-person, with the right version of PrPro, do that Import step, then Save_As, and hand off the now, X-platform version of the PRPROJ. Hey, it fosters "hands across the aisle," and we've found several PC-users, with the right versions around here, who have done that conversion, out of the kindness of their hearts. That had zero to do with your Project, but wanted you to know why I asked.

How to bring an Avid project into Premiere Pro CS3?

My client has an old Avid project that needs to be re-edited. I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. Can easily purchase any necessary conversion software (NOT going to buy Media Composer :P). Is there any way to 'easily' import it?
I'm familiar with the Automatic Duck software suite, but they don't seem to have an option for conversion to PPro. What about converting from Avid to After Effects, and then somehow importing the After Effects into PPro?
I'm extremely new to EDLs and very hesitant to use them :). Any advice?

I've had some degree of success going from Avid to PPro through the use of AAF (Advanced Authoring Format). If the project is really complex, the transfer may not work that well, but I was surprised to see just how much transferred cleanly. Check the Avid documentation for exporting a project as an AAF, and the PPro documentation for importing.
One thing to note is that you will have to recapture the media from the original source tapes, as PPro will not work with media files created during capture on an Avid system.

Importing Captivate CS3 project into Captivate CS5.5

Our company has a number old projects that were created and saved in Adobe Captivate CS3. We need up update the material using Captivate CS5.5; however, they will not open in this version. We believe it may be due to older Flash files and the drop in support of AS2 files. We can open these projects in Captivate CS4, then CS5.5, but this is not a long term solution for us. Is there a converter or some other option available??? Thank you very much.

Apart from opening Captivate files with other Captivate versions has you have already done, there is no other solution for upgrading your projects.
Bite the bullet and do this immediately to get your projects into CPTX format files. Cp7 or later versions will not open .cp format files. Only CPTX. So since you appear to currently have Cp versions that will open your old Cp3 files, you are best advised to do this right away. Otherwise your next upgrade to Cp7 or Cp8 later this year could see you tossing all courses built in the older Cp format.

Making a project into an album

I got my Aperture 2 when I was busy trying to install my Time Machine. I automatically put all my new pictures into project boxes as shown at the top of the pull-out tab. Now, since they are varied shots of my three year old grandson, I'd like to make them into folders to store under his name in the program. I already lost one set of photos (I still have the original images. Is there an easy way to transfer the images from that 1st on the list project into an album so that they won't disappear when I semi-close the list?

you can't turn a project into an album ... images live in projects ... albums are "references" to images in those projects ...
projects can live in folders ... projects can contain folders and albums ...
i'd suggest reading these articles:
http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/library/index.php
and getting this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Aperture/dp/0321539931/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220620646&sr=1-1
you need to get the basic understand of the aperture library way of storing and sorting images ...

Cannot open old iMovie project

I have an old iMovie project from 2008 that I cannot open.
If I double-click it, terminal opens.
Recommended applications are Textwrangler, Terminal.... not really the right thing to watch a movie.
Final Cut Pro X cannot read the file, because it's in the "bundle" format. Quicktime is also grayed out.
Is this some weird format that is no longer readable by anything? Or can I turn it into an .mp4 file?
Thanks.

iMovie doesn't support importing one iMovie project to another. When we try, we get exactly the error you quoted.
You can, however, import all the Timeline video and audio as a single clip to a new project. Or you can drag files from the Media folder of the project to the Timeline of a NEW project.
In the Finder, Control-click on the project icon and choose Show Package Contents from the popUp menu. You'll see the movie "Timeline Movie.mov" in the window that opens. You want to import that movie to a new project, or import selected files in the Media folder.
To import, drag the file to the Timeline of a NEW iMovie project. If importing the Timeline Movie, everything on the Timeline of the original project will arrive as a single clip in the new project.
If the project failed on the external drive, it may be because the disk does not use the disk format required by iMovie. Use Disk Utility to check the disk format, which must be "Mac OS Extended". If it's not that format, use Disk Utility to reformat the drive. (Which will erase all the files on the drive, so make backups.)

Archiving old iWeb projects

Can I save old iWeb projects to iCloud? If so, how do I do that? Or must I save them to a new web host ? Thanks.

No. To archive your websites make copies of your Domain.sites file that resides in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. That's the file/package that iWeb uses to create and publish your website. Keep copies of it to preserve the website at the date the copy was made.
If you're running Lion read the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels

I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels. Any easy solution?
Steps:
1. I finished an Aperture 2 (Two) book project and tried to submit it to Apple for printing. At that point I learned (belatedly, obviously) that Apple no longer accepts books from Aperture 2. I don't know how I would have known to even ask if Aperture 2 had been sunsetted as far as book projects go.
2. So I tried to download Aperture 3 ($79.99), only to be told that I couldn't download Aperture 3.5.1 because I was still running OSX 10.8.x. So I read current reviews for OSX 10.9.x, and ...
3. Downloaded and installed the current operating system (about a 3-hours process for me). OSX 10.9.2, here we are!
4. Then I returned to the Apple Store, found, and purchased Aperture 3. [For safety's sake, it would sure be nice to have a .dmg file I could copy and file away. I lost a perfectly legal and good copy of Adobe's Photoshop Elements 3 years ago because I wasn't smart enough to make a safety copy, and when my iMac crashed (fried electronic components), I was left with a copy of the software that wouldn't run, and couldn't be verified as legit.]
5. When Aperture 3 finished installing, I found and imported my COMPLETED Aperture 2 book project, which import seemed to proceed nominally -- the right number of pages, the right content on those pages, that sort of thing -- until I started looking more carefully at the pictures themselves. All of them, about 300 of them, have been imported into an Aperture 3 book project in such a reduced resolution that they are fuzzy at the size the book will be printed. Screen-capture of just one example (at 100% viewer setting):
I don't know what to do at this point to correct the problem, short of going through the entire book project, copy the custom captions (since those go away when you "delete" photo content), delete the photo, re-insert the photo, and paste back the custom caption. Lather, rinse, repeat - ~300 times! An estimated 2-3 hours of additional work.
Or does anyone in this community know either (1) that I did something wrong in the Aperture 2-to-Aperture 3 import (I don't recall being offered any options or choices in the process); or (2) that there is a wholesale one-step solution to my problem?
BTW, I tried to edit my "Product" info, but OSX 10.9.x is not in the pick list. I am running OSX 10.9.2
<Re-Titled By Host>

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?
