Using Power Query to import image files for Power View

I am trying to use Power Query to import image data from a SQL Azure database for use in Power View. I've selected both the source image table and the ?images table in the workbook query. The files seem to load as binary data in the Power
Query editor but when loaded to the data model with Power Pivot, the field becomes "text" type rather than binary. Does anyone know the procedure to use PowerQuery to load image files into PowerPivot?

Hi,
We currently do not support loading binary data from Power Query into the Power Pivot data model. This is something we'd like to address soon. For now, you will need to use the Power Pivot import capabilities if you want to achieve this.
Sorry about the inconvenience - we will try to enable this feature over the coming months.

How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

Cannot Import Image Files

Hello, I'm having a issue that has suddenly and unexpectedly happened. After Effects will no longer allow me to import image files. I'm running a Mac with Yosemite. I've deleted preferences, I've restarted the computer. The only thing I haven't done is uninstalled and reinstalled.
Any thoughts on this perplexing issue would be great. Using After Effects CC14

That's bizarre. A reinstall used to be the first thing we'd do (back in ye olde AEv1.0 - v4.0 days). It's the last thing to try these days. But, AE is one of the more complex apps you'll ever have on your machine. I suppose it's possible still as brittle as the olden days.
There are many dangerous methods Mac people try when trashing an application in Yosemite. Most of us have no clue where all of the fiddly bits are hidden. How did you accomplish your reinstall?
I wonder if any of the AE wonks or Adobe folks have an opinion on when reinstalling is simply the easiest thing to do. Is reinstalling only a reasonable option for specific issues?

Difficulty importing image files

I am trying to import image files (jpeg, psd etc. ) into Adobe Premiere but an error message keeps coming up, "The video bit depth of this file is unsupported". I know for certain that these type of files should be supported but I am still getting this message.

It means what it says - your files are 16bit or 32bit or have unsuitable color profiles/ color modes. Convert them in PS.

It's next to impossible to fully merge two accounts on a Mac easily.
This being said, though, please take a look at "The Great Pondini's" site where this specific issue is addressed. There should be information here you can use to get things sorted out.

Hi Yoshihiro,
Can you share an example of the things you are doing in Power Pivot? There are some operations that prevent the query from being refreshed in Power Query; this is not ideal so we are currently working on fixing it.
Thanks for your feedback.

How to link an image file in code view

I can't seem to figure out how to link the image file in code view. It has to be in code view because the image is hidden in Design View so I can't do it in HTML view. Here's the coded section:

Convert QuickTime Video Files for Offline Viewing

How can I convert QuickTime files for offline viewing?

Even with QuickTime Pro, it is possible to protect a QuickTime video file from being downloaded directly. But, if it's not specifically protected, QuickTime Pro will allow you to download many QuickTime videos.
If you come across a video that is protected, you may be able to use a utility like to record the video as it's playing on your screen and then save it as a stand-alone file.

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!
SAM

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

HELP: How do I use iPhoto 08 to import images onto my iPhone 3G?

Hi,
I was wondering how best to import images into my iPhone 3G for viewing.
Most of my image files are large high quality 2 -4 MB files.
Is there an easy way to downsize the files for viewing on the iPhone 3G? Does iPhoto have a setting specific for import/export use with the iPhone?
How do I set a specific photo as the phone's wallpaper and does it have to be specifically sized to use as wallpaper?
I have read the iPhone 3G manual but it was less than helpful just saying "Use iPhoto to import photos onto your iPhone"...

here is a thread with lots of discussion of this topic - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1618079&tstart=105
In general you make album(s) of the photos you want on the iPhone and sync the album(s)

Error while importing text file to Power Pivot via Table Import Wizard

Hello there,
I'm a rookie at handling Excel to be honest. I've been trying to import a .txt file to Excel (it contains around 14 million rows of information) but Excel won't let me since it can only handle around 1 million rows per sheet (too troublesome to do such thing
14 times in 14 different sheets). Then I googled that Power Pivot let me handle around 100 million rows in a Pivot.
I'm trying to import this .txt file to Power Pivot by doing the following:
Home tab > From Text > File Path (insert .txt location here) > Finish
After that it shows the Table Import Wizard retrieving the rows from the .txt file. Problem is... at the end of the import (once it hits row 14,000,000 or so) it shows an error. It states the following:
"Memory error: Allocation failure : Not enough storage is available to process this command. .
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed."
Please note that the size of the .txt file is 900 MB.
Another thing is that, when I select the .txt file from its location at the File Path section, the "preview" field only shows 50 rows, not all of them. Is that okay to happen?
Is it because the size of the .txt file is too big?
Please let me know if you need more info in regards to this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AdiUser,
Only showing 50 rows for the preview is normal behaviour. Based on what you've described, it sounds like Power Pivot is running out of memory when you are loading this .txt file. Are you running the 32 bit or 64 bit version of Excel. Also, if you are running
the 64 bit version how much RAM is available?
If you're running the 32 bit version then the available RAM for Power Pivot is less than 1 GB even if the system has more than this installed. You can address this by installing the 64 bit version. If you're running the 64 bit version then it may be
that you don't have enough RAM to accommodate this amount of data and you may consider upgrading the RAM. Alternatively, you could try and reduce the size of the table in memory by using the preview screen to remove any columns that are not of use. This
is especially important if there are any column with a high number of unique values that aren't actually needed in the model. In addition to removing columns altogether, you could try filtering the data so that only a subset of the rows are imported.
This can also be done from the preview screen.
Regards,
Michael Amadi

Actually, your code is working fine, as there are no returned errors, asserts or crashes.
The reason you are just seeing a gray box, is that the display performance is set to the lowest level in InDesign Server for performance reasons.
Hint: Open the document in "desktop" InDesign, right click on the image, and look at the Display Performance settings for the image.
See
Ken Sadahiro, "[CS2 Server] Controlling display performance, how?" #1, 23 Feb 2006 8:01 am
You can of course programmatically change it to the normal or high res settings from within your plug-in, but it might slow down the performance of InDesign Server a bit.
One additional comment:
In your code where you do this:
importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kMinimalUI);
I would do this, just to be safe:
if (LocaleSetting::GetLocale().IsProductFS(kInDesignServerProductFS )) { importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kSuppressUI); } else { importFileCmdData->Set(db, sysFile, kMinimalUI); }

I can't import image files from my camera to Photoshop Elements

My iMac recognizes my camera (a Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph). I know this because it automatically starts iPhoto and loads the images. The problem is, I am sick and tired of iPhoto, and I want to use Photoshop Elements instead. When I connect the camera to the iMac (via a USB port), I do NOT get a camera icon signifying a new volume or drive on my desktop. So when I open Photoshop 4.0, I can't find the files to import. I could allow the computer to import automatically into the iPhoto library, then manually drag the image files into a different directory for use by PSE, but that seems way too complicated. Why should I have to do that? Please help if you can.
John

I'm using OS X 10.4.11.
Maybe I didn't explain it very well. Let me try again:
I would like to be able to connect my camera to the USB port of the iMac, turn on the camera, and then view the images from the camera memory on the screen using Bridge (the subroutine for file management in Photoshop Elements). I have not been able to do that.
Instead, my iMac immediately displays the camera images by opening iPhoto. There is no option in iPhoto for importing the images to anything other than the iPhoto library. So I have to go find them there, copy them into the directory were I want them, and then erase them from the library (which is a little tricky by itself). Then I can manage them in Elements/Bridge.
I thought when I bought Photoshop Elements that I would be able to open it and then tell it to import the images from my camera, into a directory of my choosing. That would be less error-prone and a lot less work.

Scaling image files for Slide presentation in Keynote

I have had great problems importing and scaling images for Keynote presentations with approx 500+ images. Having tried to adjust the image to fit the full screen the scaling results in unacceptable pixelation. I seem to have solved this now by batch processing my image files and saving them as PDF files. These are then imported from the Aperture Library as iPhoto wont recognise the PDF file format!
It's a pity that Keynote has so many restrictions for use in Slide/music presentations, having seen incredible professional results with Pic2exe (which unfortunately at present is not available in Mac format - tho the Win exe file will run I am told).

Please tell us what you are really trying to do!!
You know like dumb stuff like where are the images from? What's their resolution? If you';re using Aperture you can't be a newbie.
You can achieve incredible professional results in Keynote, but you need to know how it wants to work.
Kelly is right. This is not just a ***** session but a place to get real help from real people.

How to import image file of OS

I was give an .img file of a server......I didn't receive a vm.vfg file at all, I the image was just simply copied from the running_pool on the oracle vm server after it was shut down. Now...can I import this image into another oracle vm server using vm manager or some commands on the oracle vm server itself? I was also sent the following information...
more dns
# Automatically generated xen config file
name = "dns"
memory = "256"
disk = [ 'file:/OVS/running_pool/dns.img,xvda,w', ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:2a:4d:73, bridge=xenbr0', ]
vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
uuid = "4f91b207-a6a5-5bec-9ada-d60cc9254ce5"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
This was generated on the original oracle vm server....should I edit that to reflect the uuid of the new oracle vm server and can I create my own vm.cfg file? The server where this image come from does not have oracle vm manager controlling it, the admin has simply been using the oracle vm server interface itself to mount the domains..is there a way to generate a template from just the oracle vm server and not using the manager?

I would change the name if the image file to something meaningful and simply copy the image file to the storage repository /OVS/Repositories/[YOUR Repo]/VirtualDisks and then simply rescan the storage repo. That should "import" the new image to your repo and make it available for use.
The information shown about the VM indicates that the boot loader is pygrub - that would make this guest a PVM one, so you could simply create a new PVM in OVMM and choose the just imported vdisk as its first disk. The info for this guest also suggests that it's MAC-Address is 00:16:3e:2a:4d:73, so you will need to adjust the settings inside the guest once it is running on you new OVMs.
