Unable to import from tape under Win2000

A DBA running Oracle on Solaris used export to create a tape for
me to import into my Win2000 Oracle DB. I have not been able to
figure out what to set the import filename to in order to have
imp read off the tape drive. The other DBA suggested setting the
file parameter equal to the mount point of the tape, but I'm not
sure what that is. I tried \\.\Tape0 but that didn't work. I
have also tried to use NTBackup to read the file off tape first
but it doesn't recognize the format. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how I get get the data off of this tape?
Thanks

Brad,
There are a number of formats that the tape could have been
written to in, the most prominent formats being tar and cpio
I'd ask the Solaris DBA about the format he'd used.
You may want to get a version of the Unix shell(s) and utility
running under Win2000. There's probably more than one source
for these beasts. The one I'm using is called the MKS toolkit
(see www.mks.com), and it works quite nicely with the SCSCI-based
tapes I've been using sofar. It's not exactly cheap, though.
If this is a one-time shot for you, and if you're not under
heavy stress to get it done by yesterday, you could probably
find some shareware tools that will work for you, too.
Hope that helps.
All the best

  • IPhoto is suddenly unable to import from card

    IPhoto was giving me error messages every time it read photos from my camera’s memory card. The message was that one photo (and only one photo) had an “invalid header” or some such.
    So I used my camera to do a “low-level format” of the card, which you are supposed to do periodically anyway. IPhoto didn’t seem to like this, and now when I insert the card into the reader, iPhoto launches but does not offer to import the new photos into iPhoto.
    However, I can see and view the photos perfectly fine in the finder, I can copy them to a finder folder, and I can open them perfectly fine with graphicconverter, so I do not understand why iPhoto is suddenly unable to import them.

    Once copied to the hard disk, can you then import them to iPhoto from there?

  • Importing from tape via firewire - event name created, but no content saved

    I'm importing from my camcorder tape via firewire. Some recordings work just fine and I get the event into iMovie '09 v 8.0.5 (820) . Other events on the same tape don't import. When I import those events manually, an event name gets created in the event window, but there is no content in it. Any thoughts??
    One confusing little addition - sometimes when those events are being imported and the scenes are bad quality (e.g., broken up a bit) they DO import. But when I rewind the tape and try to import them again with the picture coming in better, they DON'T work.

    Are all your clips DV? Are some HDV?

  • Import from tape- One shot/one clip

    When I import my raw footage from tape, I would like each shot to automatically become its own clip.  Is this possible with FCPX?

    Thanks Tom.  I think I've figured out the problem.  The first few tapes I captured were recorded in a Sony DCR VX1000.  They were each captured as one long clip. When I tried tapes recorded in a VX2000 (which I also use as my playback deck), each shot was captured as it's own clip.  Interesting....

  • Unable to Import from my Canon DC220 camcorder...

    I had begun a project with I-movie 6 of which my camcorder was not compatible with...my solution was to upgrade to I-Movie 08 of which the Canon DC220 is compatible with and I-Movie should import from (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306171). Unfortunately, when I plug my Camcorder into the USB and switch it to PC/Computer mode, I get a pop up on the screen stating that I "inserted a Blank DVD" and gives me a few options on how to proceed. I did try to use other USB ports on the Mac...nothing. I did try a couple different DVDs of which I recorded on...nothing. So I was able to eliminate the problem being with the DVD or the USB port I was using. Please advise as I am at a loss. Thanks so much.

    Unplug your USB cable and then press func. to enter the menu on your camera.
    plug in your cameras power supply. Then select Finalize. This will close the disc and prepare it for importing.
    I'm still having trouble, but this is a step you must follow.

  • IMovie clip length when importing from tape

    Having used iMove HD without any problems and up until now have imported video into an eMac, I know but it works, then copied the DV files to my new Macbook Pro laptop for editing.
    Now I have the firewire adaptor for this MacBook Pro I have successfully imported a tape into iMovie 10 but now am completely stuck.
    Each clip is one second long (5 minutes with iMovieHD and adjustable) and I can't do anything with the whole import.
    If I select more than on clip any export function is unavailable. Thought I would export all the clips as one file then re-import as a work a round.
    There is also no timeline for editing. The screen shows all the one second 733 clips (12 minutes).
    Lastly, I have no problem editing video imported as a digital file, i.e. DV
    I may be missing something, but its certainly not intuitive.
    What's wrong?

    Hi
    Help - No I've not got iMovie'13 v.10
    But a thought.
    I would bring in iMovie HD6 (if you got that one - iMovie HD5 doesn't work) into Your New Mac - as it is 100% DV friendly.

  • PSE 9 Organizer Unable to Import from iPhoto '11

    When I try to import pictures from iPhoto '11 using the PSE 9 Organizer, I get the following message:
    There is no media to import from iPhoto
    I wonder if Adobe has not yet caught up with iPhoto '11 that came with recently introduced iLife '11. The iPhoto '09 catalog was converted in some way when I ran iPhoto '11 for the first time.
    Anyone else having this problem or come up with a solution?

      If you go to export in IPhoto 11, IPhoto 11 is not listed  in applications while IPhoto 9 is listed but there is no way to export photos using this or items associated with it.
    Don't understand this, or did you mean in the options for External Editor rather than Export? If so, there should be Other at the bottom of the window. Navigate to the actual PSE 9 editor application, which is the first of the two files in the PSE 9 folder that has a blue square for an icon. You want the square without the version number in the file name, and without the little curved black alias arrow on it.
    If you mean you want to put the photos into the Organizer, you select the photos you want to export, go to File> Export, then put the exported photos where you want and use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders in the Organizer.

  • Unable to import from my video camera even though it has worked before

    I have used my Sony MiniDV Digital Handycam many times over the past few months to import the footage from my DV tapes into my computer. However, my iMovie HD suddenly decided one day that it didn't want to recognise my camera anymore, no matter how many times I restart the programme and the computer.
    It's not a problem with the firewire because I tried it with another camera and it worked. I don't remember changing any settings on my camera. Plus, even though the camera is over 5 years old, it shouldn't be a problem of compatibility since it has worked before.
    I have no idea how to fix this problem. Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions.
    There are a few things to try here:

    Does the camera work on another Mac?

  • Audio dropout when importing from tape

    I have several imovie projects from many years ago backed up on DV tape. I decided to import them to imovie and convert them to itunes format videos
    to store them as computer files. The process had gone well, but I have one project where the first clip loses sound. I can hear the sound when the tape plays on the camcorder and I can hear the sound when the clips are being imported to imovie, but the sound is missing on the first clip - completely absent. All subsequent clips are fine.  The problem is the first 15-sec clip in a 45 min project, but it is critical.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    iMovie'08 to 11 - are far from tools of choice when working with miniDV tape material - as non of them can deliver 100% out to e.g. DVD or whatever You want to do with it.
    iMovie up HD6 and FinalCut are far more better.
    iMovie up to HD6 - Can import even if TimeBase code info is broken - set to NOT import as individual clips.
    If tape is recorded in LP-Mode - Then You got lot's of problem
    • You need the Original Camera that made the recording - even same type and No: doesn't help as tolerances are to thin/small.
    • Import into iMovie HD6
    • as NO individual Clips - set in iMovie pref.
    • and To TimeLine - not to Shelf
    • DIRECTLY after import - Extract Sound (Advance menu - down) - ELSE Audio get's out of Sync.
    Now I use to copy back to tape and CAMERA SET TO SP-Mode ! Just to get a good archive tape !
    Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

  • Unable to Import from My Picture Folders

    I today downloaded Photoshop Album 2 Starter. The following ODBC error message was received (Internal Error : Data Not Found)when I tried to import folders with images from 'My Pictures'. All my images previously held by my previous Photoshop Album 1 software were transferred and are fully functional.
    Also, I have tried Picasa and Roxio and there are no problems associated with them!
    I am a keen photographer looking for (hopefully) Photoshop Elements/Album software but I need to resolve this problem - I am not 'well read' in IT matters so if someone out there can help me please try to keep it simple. Thank you.

    Hi Charles,<br /><br />You may try clearing all your preferences and then use Photoshop Album Starter Edition.<br /><br />Further, Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 is now avilable for download so may try using the lastest version.<br /><br />Please delete psa.prf file (and other files) from <C:\Documents and Settings\<logon name>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Album>. <br /><br />Application data is a hidden folder so you need to change view options in explorer to be able to view hidden files.<br />i.e. In Windows explorer  --> Tools menu --> Folder Options...--> View tab, select options to see hiddden files and folders.<br /><br />Let us know, if your problem is resolved.

  • Unable to import from Sony Mini DV DCR-HC46

    I'm attempting to import video from a Sony Mini DV camcorder DCR-HC46 using a Sony iLink cable.
    iMovie seems to recognize that the camera is attached and control it (clicking Import or Play will cause the camera to start playing). However though the camera is playing video iMovie window remains blank (blue).
    I'm pretty sure that the cables are fine, since I was able to use them earlier with an old G4 power-book.
    I've gone through all the suggestions in the Apple support page.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    -Anthony

    I quote QuickTimeKirk:
    ”Open the Audio MIDI Setup application (Utilities folder).
    Try changing the settings to 44100Hz (CD Quality) or to 48000Hz (typical of the iMovie formats).
    Others call this the GarageBand fix. Opening GB also resets the Audio MIDI Setup.”

  • Unity Connection - Deleted User from DB now unable to import from LDAP

    Hello,
    We are using CUCN 8.6.  I imported a user, and no matter what changes I made calls would always go to default Unity greeting.  If I used that DN for another user it worked fine.  I deleted this user and re-added him back in, issue was still present.
    I then deleted the user from DB through cli using the following command;
    run cuc dbquery unitydirdb SELECT ObjectId from vw_User WHERE Alias = 'ccooper'
    run cuc dbquery unitydirdb EXECUTE PROCEDURE csp_UserDelete (pObjectId='3ede294c-e5fb-4713-bacd-853c6361ec87')
    Now when I try to import the user from LDAP he doesn't appear.  Other new users do.  I restarted directory sync service, performed full sync.  I am going to reboot the cluster.
    If anyone has encoutered this issue or has any troubleshooting steps, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    AK

    Used the following commands, it deleted the user and allowed me import user from LDAP
    run sql select userid, pkid from enduser where userid = 'pjon'
    run sql delete FROM enduserappservermap WHERE fkenduser='745c067f-767c-459d-b2f1-6e88bbad915e'

  • I can't import from my iPhone into Aperture anymore

    Since upgrading last night to 10.10.3 and running the new Photos app, I'm unable to import from my iPhone into Aperture. My iPhone does not show up in the Import pane. Anybody else seeing this? or am I missing something?

    I agree that Apple screwed Aperture users. I don't understand why. Over the last few years, Apple has dumbed down some applications which makes those apps much less useful. Then they slowly start adding some functions back in for a couple of years then nothing. Look at Pages. It still is missing features that the old pages had.
    Apple should have simply given Aperture to everybody and maybe implemented a Simple User function for those people that don't need professional features. Here was an app ready to go and what does Apple do? Get rid of Aperture to come up with a "toy" replacement, as somebody on these discussion boards mentioned. I'm very disappointed in Apple and the direction that some of these apps are taking. I used to enthusiastically push Apple products to everybody but now I mind my own business. It's a sad state of affairs. The whole quality has gone down. All this reminds me of Apple before Steve Jobs took over. Somebody needs to crack the whip over there and focus on quality and useful apps AND listen to the users.
