Saving in different formats

I commonly save my photos, when I have worked on them, as .psd files, and then again as .jpg files. Sometimes - not always - when I have saved the .psd file, and then save it as .jpg it adds the word "copy" to the name. Is there any way I can switch this irritating habit off?

Files with layers get saved as copies when saving to a format, like JPEG, that doesn't allow layers. Flatten your image first, or use Save for Web to create your JPEGs.

Pictures are saved in different format in Photostream

I have not been using iCloud Photostream but I decided to do so for my iPhone 4S and iPad 2..
So, I turned photostream on for my iPhone and transferred about 300 files to my Macbook-doing so automatically transferred them to my iCloud Photostream.
However, I noticed that some pictures in my photostream look different from the original pictures in my iPhone.
Some are zoomed in strangely... for example, one picture of myself only showing my arm (zoomed in).
This is weird because when I look at phtostream pictures in my iPhoto of Macbook, they are fine.
But some pictures in my iPhone and iPad photostream look zoomed in.
Why is this happening and how to prevent this?

I have this too, but only on selected photos. The affected photos were taken using the front facing cameras on iphone 5 and ipad mini.
As OP reported, they look fine in iphoto but when viewed on either of the original devices they are zoomed in with the rest of the picture cropped. Deleting them from photo stream and re adding had no effect - they came back with the same odd zoom.
I would love to use photo stream to store my photos, but this bug is putting me off!
UPDATE: I've checked and the zoomed in pictures are consistent on both devices so it's not a random thing.

Exporting different formats in the same sequence.

I created a sequence in FCE mixing both DV footage and MP4 footage (H.264 codec). I had no problems importing into FCE and working with both at the same time.
When I export quicktime movie to idvd and watch the dvd on a tv, the dv footage looks beautiful but the MP4 footage is very blurry.
I then tried many different compression options for export, but anything that makes the MP4 footage look good makes the dv footage look terrible.
Is there an export option in FCE that would create a reasonable looking DVD from original source material in different formats?

We used 2 different cameras when filming a project. I don't currently have access to the one used to film the MP4 footage. It saved onto a memory card during filming and I got it onto my computer by connecting the video camera and dragging the clips to a file on my desktop.
An example of the names the clips saved under is SDV_0403.MP4, SDV_0404.MP4, etc.
Properties of a sample clip as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 Movie
Dimensions: 720x480
Codecs: H.264, AAC
Duration: 00:25
Size: 17.6 MB on disk
Channel count: 2
Total bit rate 5,911
Sorry if there's irrelevant info there...I'm not sure what's necessary.
I would just drag the clips right from the file on my desktop to FCE either into the timeline or the canvas and insert them among others. Then render them so I could see them in the canvas, editing and rendering as necessary.
I will try the mpeg streamclip in the future, but I'm freaking out a bit because I've already edited hours of footage, and fear having to go back to the beginning to re-import my source footage and start from scratch. I definitely won't be working with multiple formats in the future. I'm just trying to salvage this project now as best I can.

Re: Different format for email PO

We are currently sending PO as PDF to vendors.
Some vendors are requesting that we send the data in text format to them.
we are sending PO thru INT (communication type).
However, it is linked to PDF format for internet under "Supported Address type".
Do i use back the same node to send and yet under different format?
OR do i need to configure another node under SCOT?

Hi colin,
You have to config in 'scot'
Basic settins required to config
1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor via the SAP purchase order transaction (ME21N, ME22N, and so on).
The system only uses the e-mail address of the vendor that is maintained in the vendor master!
3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail. You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
5. In the condition records for the output type NEU (for example, Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send). Then in Transaction M/34 for the output type NEU add the medium '5' (External send) in Partner functions & Processing routines.
6.Then Create a POGo to Messages>select the output type & medium '5' (External send). Then communication method > Comm Strategy CS01. Remoce Print immediately if it is ticked.
7. Then go back ,Select message>Further data>Dispatch time>Select 'Send immediately (when saving application)'
Back and save PO.
8. Check SCOT. PO will be in the waiting list. If u want to see the detailed list of waiting items then go to transaction SOST. Specify the Send date, select the check box Waiting & execute.
In t.code SCOT you can set the format conversions by using menu path SETTINGS --> CONVERSIONS and specifying that your sapscript out put (I think SCR) should convert to PDF and then put in the appropriate Function module (try SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_SCR_PDF).
You also have to allow PDF in the EXCHG node setup
If you want further details Please check the SAP note 191470.

Inserting data from one table to another in different format

Hello,
I would like to know what I am doing wrong with the following code when I write a data from one another to another table in a different format. I am now learning PL/SQL and am using this as
a test problem.
I have a table called students which has the following columns:
SQL> desc student
Name Null? Type
----------- ----------------STUDENT_ID NUMBER(10)
COURSE VARCHAR2(10)
CREDITS NUMBER(10)
I have created another table called new_student which has the following structure:
SQL> desc new_student
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ------------- STUDENT_ID NUMBER(10)
COURSE VARCHAR2(30)
CREDITS VARCHAR2(10)
The data in the student table is:
SQL> select * from student;
STUDENT_ID COURSE CREDITS
1 Science 4
1 History 3
2 Science 4
2 History 3
2 Math 4
3 Sociology 3
3 Psycology 3
I want to store the STUDENT table data in NEW_STUDENT table as:
STUDENT ID COURSES CREDITS
1 Science/History 4/3
2 Science/History/Math 4/3/4
3 Sociology/Psycology 3/3
This is my code:
DECLARE

(student_rec.student_id,
newcourses,
newcredits
COMMIT;
-- come out of the student id record and go to the next student --id record
END LOOP;
-- come out of the loop
END LOOP;
END;
While doing so I get an error message:
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at line 23.
The error is at the line:

Header and Footer in different format

Hi ,
I am using a single RDF file to generate a report in 4
different formats by giving the destype during rumtime. I am
facing a problem regarding the Header and Footer . My requirment
is to show the Header and Footer once in HTML (Header on first
page and Footer on last page) and in case of RTF andPDF on each
page. The header and footer contains formula columns in which I
query from database.
Can anyone help me how to do this using one single RDF file.
Thanks,
Alka

Hi,
We tried using trigger as suggested by you for displaying the
header and footer once in HTML. Now we are able to show the
Header on first page in HTML but we also getting blank rows
between records wherever we are hidding the Header .
Please suggest how can we remove these blank rows.
regards,
Alka.
hello,
you could achieve this by using the format trigger of the
header/footer-objects, where you could check the desformat and
the page-number in order to dermine if they should be printed or
not.

Action to open and save multiple files in a different format

Photoshop CS5
TCS 3
I haven't used actions before.
I want and to open all files in a folder of one format and save them to a different format.
How is this done?
Thanks
Rob

Assuming you have all one format and would like to just open all the files and save as a different format without changing anything...
One way, using Photoshop and actions and automation, would be to define an action that just does a File - Open then File - Save As to a different file.
To define an action, in the ACTIONS panel create a new set and a new action, then just record the steps on an existing file. Once done, hit the Stop button.
Once this very simple action has been defined, use File - Automate - Batch... to set up to run the action on a whole folder full of files.
You'll likely want to use the [ ] Override Action "Open" Commands and [ ] Override Action "Save As" Commands options. The latter option allows you to do things like specify the JPEG save quality in the action, and not be prompted for it every time.
Your Batch dialog may look something like this:

Different format in one cell by formula?

Hi there,
does someone know if it is possible to grab and connect text with the & operator and set different formats (bold, italic...) with a command in the formula?
For example I have different lines in one cell done with the CHAR(10) and want to have the last line in bold format. Is this kind of manipulation possible?

As far as I know, there is no such function.
We may apply different styles in a cell by hand, not by a formula.
I checked that the concatenation of the contents of cells with different styles result with a string in standard style.

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?

No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.
Thanks for your time reading this!

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.)

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.

I am running out of space on my external hard drive and would like to split the movies and music between two external drives while using the same iTunes library is this possible.
My library is stored on the external drive all of my music etc is stored.

Yes.

My experiences of importing different formats into IMovie...!!

I’ve been through a lot of pain with IMovie for the last 6 months, and cracked it a couple of days ago. I therefore feel the need to write about my experiences.
I have lots of old footage on:-
1. DV tape
2. HI8 tapes
3. Sony mini-DVDs
4. DVDs
5. Sony standard def hard disk camcorder files.
1. DV tape
This was a joy to import. OK, so I had to invest a small amount of cash to buy a new cheapie DV camcorder (as my old one broke years ago), but the import itself was easy. Just connect the camcorder, the import window appears, and away to go. Events are imported with the correct date and time, and it even creates a new event for different days imported.
2. HI8 tapes
As I’ve only got a few of these, I decided to ‘cheat’, so I’ve recorded them onto DVDs using my domestic DVD recorder sitting under my TV. So the problem is shifted from HI8 tapes onto DVDs.
3. Sony mini-DVDs
I’ve been trying to crack this issue for months. Clips are imported in random order, even though they are shown in the correct order in the preview. Hopefully it will get sorted. See the following thread:-
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9404421&tstart=0
4. DVDs
Haven’t tried this yet, until the mini-DVD issue is sorted. I might go down the road of converting the VIDEO_TS folders into DV files using MPEG Streamclip from squared5.com but I’d rather wait and import them ‘properly’ as the software intended.
5. Sony standard def hard disk camcorder files.
Now this is the biggie…..
I had about 1,000 MPEG2 files on my hard disk, that I’ve moved from my camcorder over the years. To my annoyance, when I switched from a PC to the Mac, I needed to buy the MPEG add-on to Quicktime. OK, so no big deal, but even then, all I could get was the video with no sound. After weeks of digging about, I found out that the reason there was no sound is because apparently Quicktime can’t handle MPEG files with AC3 dolby digital sound. As all of my files are recorded in this format, this was a major hurdle.
I then dug around and discovered that on the Sony CD that comes with the camcorder, there is a utility to down mix the AC3 audio to stereo. But it can only do one file at a time – no good for 1,000 files.
Even so, I tried a few files, and yes – they now played under Quicktime WITH audio.
But when doing an import into IMovie 09, the files are greyed out and cannot be selected. So back to the drawing board...
I then looked into various bits of software, finally deciding to get MPEG Streamclip, in order to convert the files in something more Apple friendly.
I did lots of experiments over many weeks in converting files to different formats for import into IMovie, and even though some of them looked excellent, when exporting to different sized export files (e.g. IPod, AppleTV), some of them had artifacts and shimmering all over the place.
Reluctantly I took the helpful advice of someone to convert them into DV files. I say ‘reluctantly’ because the files are HUGE. So much so, I then shelled out (even) more cash on a Drobo to store all the converted DV files.
Next problem...
Because MPEG Streamclip converts the files into DV files, the original date and time information is lost. This is a real pain and means IMovie thinks all the files are 2009.
I then purchased the excellent ‘A better finder renamer’ and ‘A better finder attributes’, to see if I could rename the files. Unfortunately there is no easy way to say ‘change the date/time on the new DV file to be the same as the old MPEG file’ a thousand times over.
I then approached a company about writing a bespoke automator script to do this for me. But it was going to be expensive.
I then set about manually changing some of the dates of the files.
Even then, IMovie was getting confused during the import, and putting some of the scenes in the wrong order. Looks like because MPEG Streamclip is so quick at doing the conversion to DV, that some of the files have the same time stamp, so IMovie gets confused.
I then looked into software to slow my Mac down, so that MPEG Streamclip would run slower (I wanted to guarantee that each file out of the thousand that it created was created in a different MINUTE to the last file). This was proving fruitless however.
I then had useful discussions with Appleman1958 - see thread -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1979095&tstart=0
who suggested that I could rename the files with the IMovie notation, i.e.
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext
I even worked out how to do this automatically using ‘a better finder renamer’.
But there was still one more issue.
When the files were imported into IMovie, the thousand files would just come in as one event (unlike importing DV tape where it splits into days).
Being unhappy with this, I had a brain wave and decided to try something else. AppleMan1958 helpfully suggested putting the files into different folders “behind IMovie’s back”, something I was open to doing, but wanted to try something else first...
I resurrected my old camcorder from my attic, and filmed a few minutes of footage.
I then plugged the camcorder into my Mac. To my AMAZEMENT, the import window appeared in IMovie (just like it does for DV tapes), AND the audio played as well as the video. I was absolutely staggered.
I then noticed an ‘archive’ button within the import window, so decided to press it. It then copied the MPEG file from the camcorder onto the hard disk. But it did so in the structure of the original camcorder (i.e. it creates a series of specially named folders, just like on the camcorder).
I then decided to copy all 1,000 of my MPEG2 files into the new special structure that had just been created.
All 1,000 files were then accessible using the standard import function!!!!
(By the way – I’m sure people already know this information – and I’m in no way taking credit for any of it, as it’s probably been suggested by other people in the past).
I’ve now happily imported all of the files.
(Interestingly, a couple of times it said ‘Error!’ on importing some of the files. The third time I tried it, it worked. How random!!)
What amazes me is that now the Mac CAN seemingly handle MPEG video AND ac3 audio, whereas it can’t handle it by double-clicking the files in the finder. I can’t see why this should be the case. Also, it’s really annoying that when importing the files from hard disk, the files are totally greyed out – but it CAN import them by fooling IMovie into thinking it’s a camera archive.
Ofcourse now I’ve spent all this extra money, it’s time to dust off the old camcorder and use that for a few more years, until I pluck up the courage to go hi-def...
Hope you enjoyed reading – thought I’d share my experiences incase there are any newbies out there with similar issues. It’s annoying that Apple make it seem like childsplay to connect your new shiny camcorder to IMovie, but seem give little help in the more technical issues.
Now, if only they’ll fix the mini-DVD import bug too...!

Hi Brad,
when you use Streamclip to convert media, use the same name for the exported file (only with different extension). Then make a shell script calling
touch -r origFileName.mp2 newFileName.mov
This will copy the exact time and date from origFileName.mp2 to newFileName.mov
The script may look like this (save the file, give an exec permission to it and call it in the right directory):
#!/bin/bash
for i in `ls *.mp2`; do
NEWNAME=$(ls "$i" | sed -e 's/mp2/mov/')
touch -r $i $NEWNAME
done
You may need to adapt the extension names used (in the example above .mp2 is input file to get the date/time stamp from and .mov is the output file to stamp.
Have fun and cheers

Error message downloading OBIEE Report to Excel "is in a different format"

Dear experts:
We just upgraded to 10.1.3.4.1 in our Dev environment and are seeing a pecuiliar behavior when we try to download a report to either "Excel" or "Excel 2000".
After selecting Excel (or Excel 200) from the Download Link, we get the following message that pops up:
The file you are trying to open 'Period Summary.xls' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
We are then given the choice of Yes, No, or Help
When I click Yes, the File does open, but why this message? I can see the users complaining about this message.

I found the link to MSDN site which states that this is a "known problem" and MS will provide a fix at a future date.
http://blogs.msdn.com/vsofficedeveloper/pages/Excel-2007-Extension-Warning.aspx
Also, the following metalink documents address this: 780817.1, 759410.1
This is the expected behavior due to security restrictions implemented in MS Office 2007
Solution
The following is the workaround for this issue:
Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior of the Excel 2007 client in the following ways:

I have searched through OBIEE Oracle docs, but didn't find any mention of this issue.
Has anyone seen any OBIEE workaround for this?

BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Is there any SR raised for this issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

Documents saved in firefox format cannot be viewed in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed to another format. How do I change back?

Documents in Firefox format do not open automatically in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed from the original format. How do I change them back and how do I keep this from happening again. I don't want to have to select a different format every time I try to open a document. That is a pain in the neck. I want to "click to open" and the document be in it's original format. If necessary I will go back to one of the other browsers I have used in the past. As I don't want multiple browsers on my computer it would be necessary to uninstall Firefox. I like it so far other than you all hijacking my documents and altering the way they open. You also might want to remember that even the "legitimate" folks on the internet are seen as predatory, i.e., gathering information, tricking us into installing crap we don't want or need, and in some cases, requiring a specific program to open a specific document. I'd be working very hard to show you are trustworthy. If you have a solution to this and it is complex then you will be wasting your time and my time trying to explain it. You guys created this so, if I'm going to use Firefox, you fix it on your end. FYI, if I have to uninstall Firefox I will, when asked, strongly recommend against using your service. Thank you.

Do you mean PDF documents?
The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
