Want to import from pictures file and wont let me

I am so so frustrated. I have so many problems using imovie.
I have a mac book pro latest update and leopard.
I don't import my pictures into aperture or iphoto because I can't find the photos after wards. They are imbedded into the program. So I always download into Bridge. I love bridge and photoshop. I don't use aperture to edit. I want more control. So I go to use imovie and it wont let me import from my pictures file. So i finally break down and import into aperture and now all the pictures are split up into a file each. WHYWHYWHY.? Why would it put a picture in each file. I have the file and then 78 subfiles with 1 picture each!!!!! That is so irritating. I tried to download from a camera archive and it didn't work either. This is why i don't use imovie hardly ever. It is just too difficult to get the pictures inthere and if i do put them in i can't find them on the hard drive.

if you don't like the convenience of the iLife package,
_drag 'n drop the pic-file from any Finder Window into project._

no, it is quite easy - you make it difficult.
and a Computer/program is much faster searching and finding files than you.
I like the metaphor:
why naming the drawer, you put in files manually, instead of letting a machine find it for you? I can find a well-indexed/'tagged' pic-file much faster with iPhoto than any manual search ".. was it Sept/08 or Oct/08? Was it 'Vacations/Summers/Islands/Trees' or 'Backgrounds/Nature/Woods/' .. ? " ... tagged-fotos can re-arranged in split-seconds into new folders, new structures, new systems (aka Playlists, Albums, Events..) .. 'hardwired' folder-structures not.
I know, a matter of +Thinking Different+ ...
and Welcome, whitbooks, to the  iMovie boards ..

I am trying to download mp3 files or music files and they are coming up as adobe files when the window pops up and it has no option to change the file type and i have clicked the other options and they dont change anything either (e.g. open, save etc) If you then go ahead and try to download it has finished withina few seconds and you have no music file at the end of it.

.EXE files are not very easy to open on Macs with Mac OS X 10.4.3 or earlier. They typically require an emulation program to run Windows.
See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
Newer Macs are more capable of running Windows, and can do so natively. You can attempt to find a 10.3.9 compatible alternative compatible application as well. Audio and video files don't play very well on emulation, but work fine in Windows native compatible Macs.

Import from dsv files and export to csv files

hi every body..
how can I create a project in NetBeans which does:
1- import a .dsv (Delimiter-Separated Values) file content and save it to array
- the values in this format separated by fixed commas
example
"AIG" "Insurance" "64.91" "25/11/06"
2- export into .csv file (Comma Separated Value)
-the values in this format separated by commas
example:
AIG,Insurance,64.91,25/11/06

Well, you need to learn Java so you can read files, divide the data by the delimiters, and then write it out as a csv file.
Can't really give better instructions than that...maybe start by reading the basic tutorials?
We don't give out full program code here so you'll need to ask more precise questions. Such as what is it that you're having problems with.

How do I change my apply id? the one on my ipod is different from my ipad and wont let me adjust

My apple ID is different from my ipod to ipad. When I try to enter my password, it says it is not valid even though I have changed and apple confirmed it is reset. Seems like a continuous loop.

I did that but when I go into Settings - iCloud - to turn off the Find my IPhone option, it still asks for the old email address password. Any ideas?

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

Lanny -
Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

Imported a video file and there is only audio.

Imported a video file and there is only audio. It was originally captured from VHS onto a PC. It took over 24 hrs to import the 4.24 GB mpg.
Is there something I need to do since it was a mpg from a PC?

I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

How to read from excel file and write it using implicit jsp out object

our code is as below:Please give us proper solution.
we are reading from Excel file and writing in dynamicaly generated Excel file.it is writing but not as original excel sheet.we are using response.setContentType and response.setHeader for generating pop up for saveing the original file in to dynamically generated Excel file.
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>

 response.setContentType ("application/msexcel");

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
 * @param args [0] = source filename
 * args [1] = destination filename
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 if (args.length != 2) {
 System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
 System.exit(1);
 File in = new File(args[0]);
 long fileLength = in.length();
 long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
 FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (in);
 FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (args[1]);
 FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
 FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
 fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
 fis.close();
 fos.close();
 t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
 NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
 System.out.print (nf.format(fileLength/1024.0) + "kB copied");
 if (t > 0) {
 System.out.println (" in " + t + "ms: " + nf.format(fileLength / 1.024 / t) + " kB/s");
}

Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable. The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall. But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again. HELP!!!!

Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable. The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall. But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again. HELP!!!!

I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
But it is not there.
So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
But I do not know where it is to move it!
How can I find it?
While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.

Import From CSV File statement runs forever, no error, does not finish

Hello,
I am trying to import a CSV file in a JAVA program, with the following statement:
IMPORT FROM CSV FILE '/debug/testdatabase/FILE.csv'
INTO "JOSEPH"."TEST_TABLE"
WITH COLUMN LIST IN FIRST ROW
RECORD DELIMITED BY '\n'
FIELD DELIMITED BY '\t' ERROR LOG '/debug/testdatabase/file.err'
THREADS 10
BATCH 10000
I have two HANA instances on different machines A and B:
Both machines run HANA version 1.00.74.00.389160 (NewDB100_REL), while the OS is
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.1 on machine A and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.2 on machine B.
The statement above runs fine on machine A and the rows are imported properly from JAVA as well as when executed from HANA Studio SQL console.
If I copy the file to machine B and try the exact same statement with the same file, it does not finish (neither from JAVA nor from HANA Studio SQL console). There is no error either. It cannot be cancelled, only a HANA restart stops the statement. Also the sample file I use has only 2 rows, and memory does not seem to be a problem.
I seem to have a similar problem to the one described here, but the answers there do not help me: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3396582 I specified the record delimiter, and I used a python script to check for any strange characters that are not supposed to be there, but didn't find any.
If I copy the file to my windows PC and use the "File Menu -> Import -> SAP Hana Content -> Data from Local file" function, it imports the file correctly into B, but I need to be able to do it from JAVA.
Machine A administration view:
Machine B administration view:
If you have any idea what might cause this behavior or where I can find more information on this problem please give me a hint.

Hi Joseph,
First from the pics, the revision of your SAP HANA instance is 73 instead of 74. Since I have no identical environment, I cannot test it for you. But can you try the simplest scenario? You can create a table with only one column table try to import a CSV file with only one row.
Best regards,
Wenjun
