Why isn't Create Archive working for dv file?

I have a 9GB dv file that I like to archive. I highlight the file and "create archive". A .zip file is created immediately, but when I check the file, it is zero byte length. I tried with another file which is a small .pdf file, a valid zip file was created for me. Looks like I did the right thing, but the software didn't. I used Apple help, it suggests checking permission. I have read write permission on the file and its containing folder.
Any suggestion? Can a .dv file file achived in the first place?

It turns out not the file size. I later found out that the archive does not start until like 5 minutes after the empty zip file is created. It estimates that the 9GB will take 22 hours to compress. I guess the 5 minutes delayed response is also due the slow CPU of my old G5 iMac.
Thanks anyway.

  • Why isn't my password working for the app?

    Hi,  Isn't the password the same for the skype account (in a browser) and the VoIP application the same? I can log in and check my subscriptions, credits, and etcetera but CANNOT use the same passoword with the user name in the application. What am I doing wrong?  Best, Ben

    Just reset the TC and start over with a fresh clean setup.
    This will not harm any backups or anything on the hard disk.
    What version TC is it?
    Mavericks is causing loads of problems.. I would be pointing the finger there.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • Why isn't remember me working on sites that I have been using for years on my iPad but fine on my iPhone?

    Why isn't remember me working on sites that I have been using for years on my iPad but fine on my iPhone?
    Both have recently been updated with IOS7

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

    Why isn't "hold" an option for the side switch on the iPad?
    I'd like to be able to let my 3 year old watch videos on the iPad, but young kids want to touch the screen.  I need a method to disable the touch screen.  Seems simple, why isn't this an option?
    Is there a way to write an app that allows the side switch to act as a "hold" switch?

    The obvious solution is to put the iPad screen out of his reach.  Now that's innovative!

  • Oracle text search not working for  WSDL files

    I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
    I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
    Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
    Query details
    ===========
    create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
    select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
    Thanks a lot,
    Santhi

    Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
    Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
    Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

  • How IE works for  flat file

    Hi all:
         As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name  if there is only a flat file on FTP?  how IE works for Flat file ?
         Couldn't thank you more

    Hi,
    For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
    For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
    Is that answer your question?
    Regards

  • "Bridge is unable to create a JPG for this file"

    Some of my exports to Flickr fail with this message. These a larger file but within flickr limits. Does anyone know what are the limitations set by bridge.

    I am having the same problem.
    It worked perfectly until about 6 weeks ago. Then I started getting the error message.  If I selected the images from the exact same directory and dropped them on the export tab, they would usually work.  Also if I took 5 or less images, It would usually work, so I don't hink there is any problem with the directoiry or the files.
    I have reinstalled brif=deg and photoshop.  it is now CS5.1 and all was stable. for a week and now I am having the problem that Bridge is unable to create a jpg for this file.  
    Previously, I did not notice that erroe message, so I could have been having some other error, but now this is the one I am having.  I am not trying to change the size of these images.  Just convert from nef and photoshop to jpeg.
