Working with links and exporting to Quicktime

When i create a Quicktime and play it on a Windows PC, it gets confused with internal lnks. I build in some links that refer to another page into the Quicktime file. When i click them on a PC, they start up Explorer instead of going to that page. CAn't seem to figure it out...

Hi John,
the uploading to .mac usually uses a sorenson codec in a .mov container.
That can be watched on PC just when the free Quicktime Player for Windows is installed. does your friends have done that...?
It tells them they're missing some compressor. Downloading the newest version of QT does not help either. newest version for PC or on your Mac's side?
QT7 offers now the brandnew h.264 compression codec... this isn't supported on the Windows side yet (just experimental/beta)... so using the "latest" is maybe the wrong way...
in the iM export dialog you'll find the option ".avi" (PC container + sorenson codec) try that for a mail (big files!) and your friends should see your movie...
and tell them, they shall buy a Mac, hey, c'mon!
you can offer downloads of your project on .mac, but not as convenient as the "upload to" function. ... but that is another cup of tea......

Cannot load movie with subtitles and export in QuickTime 10 / Os X Lion

Since Os X Lion, when trying to load a movie (DivX) in QuickTime 10 at the same time that the related subtitles file (.srt) is in the same folder as the movie, QT 10 suggests to use QT 7. QT 10 cannot load the movie with subtitles (in Snow Leopard everything was OK). Q& 7 is useless too because it cannot export movies to another format.
Anybody has a solution for this? Thanks for your help!

I do this because Perian don't work with QT10 on Mac OS X Lion:
-Try to open .avi movie with QT 10;
-OS X ask you to open on QT 7;
-Donwload QT 7 and install it. It will be installed on "Utilities";
-Download Perian but don't install it;
-Mount Perian, and click "Show Package Contents"
-Go to "Contents"->"Resources"->"Components"->"CoreAudio" and copy to Desktop "A52Codec.zip" and unzip it;
-Go to"Contents"->"Resources"->"Components" and copy to Desktop "Perian.zip" and unzip it;
-Go to "Contents"->"Resources"->"Components"->"CoreAudio"->Quicktime" and copy to Desktop "AC3MovieImport.zip" and unzip it;
-Then copy all packages with ".component" extention to /Library/Quicktime/;
-Then you can run all movies on QT 7.
Or,
-Install MPlayerX;
Or,
-Install VLC;

Help needed working with layers and exporting from acrobat3d

hi, i am repostng this message becaus eihad no success last time, and I am working under a tight deadline for a school project. any help will be tremendously appreciated
I received an Acrobat 3d file with a model that was originally created in CATIA v4 embedded in it.
I need to export the model for use in rhino. Currently the model size is enormous as an IGES that Windows runs out of memory when attempting to open. This is a bit wasteful since I do not need all of the model, I just need a layer of it. I noticed that when exporting to IGES you have the option to export hidden or not, and I have hidden the layers i do not need (via Isolation) and still I get the whole file.
Is there a way I can do this? export the file With the layers under the model tree? or is there a way I can delete a layer? or how can I make the hidden object feature work when Exporting IGES as not to get the things I dont need?
I read that you can open the model in Toolkit to edit it but it wont let me, open it... no "edit 3d in toolkit" option and when i open the pdf in toolkit it says unknown file....
is there a way i can open the embedded model in CATIA again?
thanks for the help

Please email me your contact information at [email protected] and I might be able to help you.
Thanks.

Does Creative Cloud work with InDesign and linked files?

Does Creative Cloud work with InDesign and linked files?

This will work for online storage.
The preview you will see on the website but will be what you see on your desktop if the the folder was missing. If you want someone else to be able to see a preview online to give comment feedback you could export out a PDF file of the work-in-progress and upload it.
If you just want to work on the project at different locations it might be easier to zip up everything into a single file and upload it. Then download it onto the computer where you want to work and unzip it.

Internal table with Import and Export

Hi All,
Hi all
Please let me know the use of <b>Internal table with Import and Export parameters and SET/GET parameters</b>, on what type of cases we can use these? Plese give me the syntax with some examples.
Please give me detailed analysis on the above.
Regards,
Prabhu

Hi Prabhakar,
There are three types of memories.
1. ABAP MEMORY
2. SAP MEMORY
3. EXTERNAL MEMORY.
1.we will use EXPORT/ IMPORT TO/ FROM MEMORY-ID when we want to transfer between ABAP memory
2. we will use GET PARAMETER ID/ SET PARAMETER ID to transfer between SAP MEMORY
3. we will use EXPORT/IMPORT TO/FROM SHARED BUFFER to transfer between external memory.
ABAP MEMORY : we can say that two reports in the same session will be in ABAP MEMORY
SAP MEMORY: TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS WILL BE IN SAP MEMORY.
for ex: IF WE CALL TWO DIFFERENT TRANSACTIONS SE38, SE11
then they both are in SAP MEMORY.
EXTERNAL MEMORY: TWO different logons will be in EXTERNAL MEMORY.
<b>Syntax</b>
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
On a screen, you link fields to parameters in the Screen Painter. When you define the field attributes of an input field, you can enter the name of an SPA/GPA parameter in the Parameter ID field in the screen attributes. The SET parameter and GET parameter checkboxes allow you to specify whether the field should be filled from the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter in the PBO event, and whether the SPA/GPA parameter should be filled with the value from the screen in the PAI event.
When an input field is linked to an SPA/GPA parameter, it is initialized with the current value of the parameter each time the screen is displayed. This is the reason why fields on screens in the R/3 System often already contain values when you call them more than once.
When you call programs, you can use SPA/GPA parameters with no additional programming overhead if, for example, you need to fill obligatory fields on the initial screen of the called program. The system simply transfers the values from the parameters into the input fields of the called program.
However, you can control the contents of the parameters from your program by using the SET PARAMETER statement before the actual program call. This technique is particularly useful if you want to skip the initial screen of the called program and that screen contains obligatory fields.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
Saving Data Objects in Memory
To read data objects from an ABAP program into ABAP memory, use the following statement:
Syntax
EXPORT <f1> [FROM <g 1>] <f 2> [FROM <g 2>] ... TO MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement stores the data objects specified in the list as a cluster in memory. If you do not use the option FROM <f i >, the data object <f i > is saved under its own name. If you use the FROM <g i > option, the data objet <g i > is saved under the name <f i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.

Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP

I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
Thanks

Hi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers

Product: Zenworks for Desktops 7Sp1 and Zenworks For Server/TED 7Sp1HP5
Subject: Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers ,
all on Linux
Description: We have an exiting environment with 6 ZfS Servers and now we
brought up a new Server for another location. I configured all same as on
the other Server and the new one created all NAL-Apps at the new location.
But in the Application Site list on the golden App is this Application
missing. So I clicked on the Link up site list on the Distribution Screen
in C1. On ApplicationSite list the App from the new location is missing.
So I removed all and added the new from the new location and now i see all
in the application site list.When I install an app on the client on the
new location NAL is connecting alway th the same (wrong location-server
and i get an msi error 1612 or id=53272 with path=\Wrong serverpath to
file.
I looked on the other tab on C1 at the golden app an I see the backlinks
are going to all other servers without the new one. Software installation
on other locations are ok
Regards

Andreas,
I forgot to mention that you can also set the loging level on the Distributor and the Subscriber to 6. to do this at the Zenworks Server Management prompt type "setconsolelevel 6" if you want to capture this to the log file ted.log then use "setfilelevel 6"
Next delete the Distribution from the Subscriber and then re-push the channel.
What we are looking for here in the log is the creation of the object and the linking information about the gold object. it should look like this (not the failure part ;-))) )
In this excerpt you will see the entry
Golden App =
This should be were the link is to
You can check this both ways in the Golden App and in the Distributed Application.
Here is a log from me that shows this info as an example of what you should be looking for.

How to work with DTR and CBS?

Hi
I have designed one web dynpro application. Now I want to work on this application through DTR. Means i want to do versioning and all. How to work with DTR..? I have gone through lot of blogs and help available in SDN but i am unable to understand how to work with it.
One more thing how to work with CBS. How to configure CBS. I have NWDS latest version 7.0.7. In window perspective i am unable to find JDI. can any one please explain me if u have worked on this with example
If possible can any one send me the screen shots how to work with these ?
Best Regards
Ravi Shankar B

Hi Ravi
For you to work with DTR and CBS, firstly u will have to configure JDI on server.
To configure the NWDI, please go through the links given below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/07/f6bc3d42f46c33e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/71/0369404c65587ee10000000a155106/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/26b84d6c823f66e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
In Nutshell, following steps will be performed:
1) logon to Portal Devinf.
2) click on CMS
3) Go to landscape configurator
4) create domain
5) create tracks and add Software components in that track
6) runtime systems ( dev/qa etc are configured
7) in the transport studio, all the files listed are checked in through check - in tab.
8) they move to developement tab.
Once all these things are done, in your NWDS:
1) Setting the devbox host name and server port in Window -> Preferences -> SAP
J2EE Engine
2) Setting Portal URL in Window -> Preferences -> JDI -> DC Pool and ping server,
to check whether server is getting accessed from NWDS.
3) Once server is set, login to DTR and go to DTR perspective. Create a client there, by doing a right click and filling up the required details.
4) In the DC perspective, in the Local DCs view, perform import configuration.
5) the dev track is not configured
6) Under this, after logging into DTR, now you can create your project, check them in and create new versions.
Thanks & regards,
Anupreet

Working with NTSC and PAL

Hey,
So I'm editing a live concert and the director wanted to work with iPhones and DSLRs so I asked them to all film in 30fps (as iPhones only do NTSC at 30fps) but they forgot and now I have to edit with 25fps (PAL) and 30fps. I've multi-camed the four 25 files (so the project is in and got a decent cut but now I'm trying to sync the two 30 files to the project. I've thrown them in the timeline and applied Rate Conform but it's reading the 30 files as 24s so it's applying a "24 to 25" conversion instead of a "30 to 25" conversion resulting in it being even worse out of sync...
How do I manually tell Rate Conform that the files that I want to conform to 25 are 30 not 24?
Also, is there any chance I can add the two 30 files to the multicam to make it easier to cut? Can I just add them or will I have to start the multicam file over again?
Cheers!

… I guess, I'm a bit lost in translation ....
1) adding 25fps material to a 30fps timeline AND 'conform speed' will speed-up this clips, NOT make'em synch! to add 'any' fps to a project, FCPX will care, to keep a second = a second - independently of fps. Or, in other words: clips are synch automatically. 'conform speed' is e.g. to create slowmo by conforming 60fps reecording to a 24fps timeline ......
2) what makes you believe iPhone is 30fps? iOS devices offer a 'variable' fps, under low light conditions, the fps can drop down to 18fps, 15fps .... worse: vary within a clip, weird stuff like 21.67fps! I'm not surprised, FCPX identifies iPhone recordings as 24fps - most probably they ARE 24
3) before import to FCPX, I would 'convert' iPhone recordings with Mpeg Streamclip to a 'steady' clic; open recordings, repair timecode, export as prores/30fps
(and, just to mention: frame-rate ≠ NTSC/PAL ; and iPhone can not record in NTSC nor in PAL ......)

When I design with Muse and export as HTML Dreamweaver doesn't attach the style sheets. Any answers?

When I design with Muse and export as HTML Dreamweaver doesn't attach the style sheets when I open the files with Dreamweaver. Essentially when I design with Muse the files don't render the same with Dreamweaver. Is this a bug? Any work arounds?

Then you will have to install a local server and use live view. It's not that DW isn't rendering it or isn't attaching it, it's that Muse decided to use server-side processing to include it which is ok for a CMS practice when you are combining stylesheets for better caching, but it really isn't ideal for a single style sheet. This is a shortcoming of Muse and one of the reasons many professionals don't back the product at the moment. That and you can't actually buy Muse, so unless you are on a subscription you don't have it. It's trying to fill a void for those who don't want to invest in the professional design tools like Fireworks or Photoshop or Dreamweaver, but want a cross between them to make designs. If you have invested in the subscription though and want a better way to make layouts I highly recommend coding it yourself and using Fireworks or Photoshop to do the layout for you. There is an excellent tutorial on the devnet (3 parts) to show you how its done ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html ). Once you start using Fireworks or Photoshop you will realize just how limited Muse is in design.

Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo. Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind. This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
I come from a photograpic background. I got the Pogo as soon as it came out. I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it. Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids. While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released. So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen. (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me. But, yes, it would be nice.)
I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints. Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340. But it's still Bluetooth only. So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon. IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing. But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case. Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

my iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case. Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
Which version of iPhoto?
If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
If that does not work, contact The App Store Support from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

FaceTime no longer working with Yosemite and IOS 8.1

I have used FaceTime flawlessly for some time with no issue.
After I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBookAir and IOS8.1 on 5S and iPad air, I've had a problem connecting.
When I get a call, all the devices ring (as they should) but it will not connect on the first device I pick up on. It says connecting
but all the other devices keep ringing and finally it says I have a missed call. The connection does not happen. If I turn off
all devices except one, it will work...... do we have a bug here??

Thank you for responding to my issue. I spent the better part of two hours trying to get this to work. Bluetooth is enabled on all devices. Each computer is set in Preferences/General to allow Handoff. All computers and iPhones are on the same WiFi network. I toggled all of the major settings off and on. Rebooted each of my computers several times. I finally conceded defeat. Then my daughter asked to have a try at it. She worked on the first MBP for about thirty minutes and informed me that she had gotten continuity to work. And indeed, on her MBP late 2012 she is able to use the continuity features in both directions between her computer and her iPhone 6. But it only works with Mail and Safari. I asked how she accomplished this feat. She said she turned off "everything" on her computer and iPhone (WiFi, Bluetooth, "Allow handoff" under Preferences/General) and then rebooted both the iPhone and the computer. She then turned everything back on. This worked for her. So we tried the same thing on my MBP and iPhone 6. Now continuity works partially. Email activity is mirrored on both the MBP and the iPhone regardless of which device initiates the continuity activity. But Safari activity on the computer is mirrored on the iPhone but not in the opposite direction. There is no continuity function for Pages in either direction. The telephone connectivity works fine on all of my devices– 3 MBPs, Mac Pro, iPad Air, 2nd gen iPad and 3rd gen iPad.

Handoff not working with Yosemite and iOS 8

I have three Macbook Pros in my household. Two are mid 2012 models and the other a late 2012 model. Each is supposed to support the handoff feature of Yosemite and ios8. Everything seems to work properly between my daughter's late 2012 MBP and her iPhone 6. But on the other two MBPs in our family the continuity feature does not work on either of them. Receiving and sending calls works fine. But the continuity does not work even though all three MBPs and all three iPhone 6 are on the same wifi network.
I've tried all the suggestions that I could find. Toggling off and on the various settings on the MBPs and the iPhones.
