How can you exceed AW 17 Library Limit ??
Im desperate to play FLC animation files externally.
At the moment FLC animation files have to embedded into your
piece or you
put them into AW libraries. But I have thousands of FLC
animations I
need to store and the AW 17 library limit is rearing its ugly
head again.
Why I here you ask do you still use FLC files. There are far
more modern
digital movie formats out there and they have more colours
and better
compression!
My simple answer is "PERFORMANCE". Most of my customers dont
use the
latest PCs, they have old PII,PIII pcs. often little memory
and your lucky
to have a good graphics card.
So, if you want to play several animations at the same time.
FLCs which
are basically sequential bitmaps with no compression, and so
no overhead
on the processor, play brillantly, time after time.
You try and play several AVIs, WMV, MPEGs, Flashs files
simulatenously and
you will see what I mean. Your PC will grind to a halt.
Please Adobe just let me play FLC files externally and you
will make one developer very happy.
And finally, please don't suggest ActiveX as you have the
same problem.
You try and play several ActiveX animations simulatenaously.
and watch
your machine grind to a halt.
Also Quicktime has poor performance issues when playing more
that one FLC.
I just need to play FLC animations externally, surely it can
not be that difficult. Or maybe it is.
I did not realize there was a limit of 17 libraries, but I've
never come
near that many libraries for a given piece. Thus, I've no
idea if
there's a way around it (perhaps split your main file into
two pieces so
each can have 17 libraries?).
Seems a bit extreme. Why use libraries at all? You could put
a decision
icon at the bottom of your flowline and attach as many movie
icons to it
as you want (well, there may be a limit, 256 icons?). That
will, of
course, make your main project very large in file size, but
whether that
size is large internally or libraries may not make that much
difference.

How can you take off the volume limit?, How can you take off the volume limit?
How can you take off the volume limit on iPod touch ?
Which "volume limit" do you mean?
All iPods have a volume limit feature that you can set yourself and on your iPod, go into Settings/Music/Volume Limit. There, you can set the volume limit to maximum, which is the same as turning it off.
However, if you mean the EU (European Union) volume restriction, on all iPods sold inside the EU, you cannot turn that off. -
How can you share a iPhoto library with another account user
I have recently seen the light and swapped from Windows to my lovely new iMac. However I am rather confused how I can configure my iPhoto library so my wife can view the same library in her account on the same machine (this was a simple thing within Windows, using shared folders). Am I missing something or do I have to duplicate the same library and place into my wife's account and then update each time we upload some photo's? Please help!
This may not be the "neatest" solution possible, but it's one that works. Just as iPhoto makes it easy to share photos between computers on the same network, you can also share photos between accounts on the same computer; but you'll have to be logged in with iPhoto running.
1) Configure iPhoto in your account for photo sharing (from iPhoto, select Preferences > Sharing> Share my photos).
2) Enable fast user switching from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options. This is the key to the process, which will allow you to remain logged in while your wife is also logged in. It's also a very handy feature if you and your wife use the computer a lot from your own accounts.
3) Enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Remote Apple Events" from System Preferences > Sharing > Services. [I had already done this step, so I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary]
4) With iPhoto up and running in your account, use Fast User Switching to log into your wife's account (ie, you remain logged-in). [The Fast User Switching menu will be in the upper right of the main menu bar.]
5) From her iPhoto preferences, select Sharing > "Look for shared photos" if it's not already switched on.
Your photos will magically appear in the left hand column of your wife's iPhoto application using the name you designated in your copy of iPhoto.
Caveats: performance is not very good, you must be logged in and have iPhoto running, HP printers (if you have one) don't work well with fast user switching
Other solutions might be possible by "drilling a hole" into your account by altering the Unix permissions. I've used this technique to make my iTunes library available to other users on my machine. Such a solution would no doubt improve performance.
Finally, there are third-party products that allow you to manage multiple iPhoto libraries. I've never used these, but they might allow you to load the iPhoto library from another account assuming permissions are properly set.
Hope this is of some use; I'm sorry if it's a little more complicated than you might have expected. -
This *****! I updated my Itunes, and it asked me to choose a library, and I chose the wrong one, and now I can't change it. What am I supposed to do now?
Firstly, I caution your approach to allow users to alter the orientation of the report. Crystal Reports doesn't adapt too well when the orientation is modified. You'll end up with fields dropped off on the right hand side of the report, or with a large gap on the right. Our engine doesn't do any auto adjusting of fields when you alter the orientation.
In order to see the changes it is best to re-load the page and get a new viewer. You can choose to store the ParameterFields in a Session variable for re-use on the post back so your users aren't re-prompted for values. -
How can you get around Smart Mix limit of foreground or background?
I am having trouble dealing with this limit, when I would like to have three levels of audio. Highest Narration track , then Audio 1, then soundtrack.
I wonder if a solution whould be to have just the audio and narration and then make a new AVI file. Second step would be to go back with a new project and make the NEW audio 1 forground and add a sound track as background. Would this also help in making a DVD by a lot of the processing being done in the first step? I just did a 37 min DVD and my XP system took 2 hours to make the DVD. I have 2 HD and 3GB ram.I would suggest a slightly different workflow. First, one can add as many Audio Tracks, as are needed. I think there is a limit, but it's way up there.
Next, instead of using Smart Mix, Keyframe the Volume of each Clip, or each Track*, to provide any necessary attenuation.
*Whether one chooses Clip Volume Keyframes, or Track Volume Keyframes will depend on how they like to work, and on where they might be in the editing process. I like to do my Audio at the very end of the editing process, so that I have all Clips where I want them. I then use the Audio Mixer to add Track Keyframes, raising and lowering the volume, as I see fit. Note: Track Keyframes are just what they sound like - they are located ON the Audio Track, so if one changes Clips on that Track, the changes still apply, just as they were laid down, regardless of Clips. Hint: I find that the default setting for Track Keyframe Frequency is a bit too much, and have adjusted that Frequency down quit a bit. This is done in Edit>Preferences.
As I often use SmartSound's Sonicfire Pro to do full scoring, I will Export/Share an intermediate reference file, and use that to create my Soundtrack, for later Import. Besides Volume Attenuation, SonicFire has some fabulous controls, with almost infinite settings. All other Audio editing is done in my NLE, and then the finished Soundtrack score is added as the very last step, before final Export/Share.
Good luck,

HT1229 How can you transfer the photo library from an iphone to a mac.
I have a photo library on my iphone which was synced to the iphone from my pc. Now I have a mac laptop and I cannot figure out how to get the photo library onto my mac from the phone. The photo stream has transferred over but none of my other albums.
If the photos are in your Camera Roll on the iPhone connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iPhoto and import directly into your library on the Mac.

"If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model? If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit? I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage. Please advise, Apple. Thank you.
I agree and am baffled by this also. At first I was really excite about this new feature. Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream. I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries. Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does. However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit. This just makes no sense to me. I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB. So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large. Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model. My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

How can you tell how much space is being used up by your iTunes...I am trying to figure out how much space I will need to transfer my iTunes library to an iPod and which iPod to select?
Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies. -
How can you hardcode/force that when a slide within a slide library (in Sharepoint 2010) is updated, that an alert is sent to the user who downloaded the slide to their hard drive so that they may replace the outdated slide with the recently
updated slide. There is a tic box option to set when downloading slides from a sharepoint slide library into power point that ensures alerts are sent when the presentation is opened allowing for replacement of the slide. But, it is an option. How can that
be hardcoded are forced on all slide library users who download slides from the shrepoint library into power point? Is there a workflow that can be written in Sharepoint or an option in power point to do this? Please advise. Thanks.Two things to check:
Add the network folder location as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings and then see if the videos will play.
If the first suggestion doesn't work, get in touch with your network admin dudes and find out if FLV files are disabled from working over the network from that location. Many times unless a given file format is enabled on a network, the server assumes it's not desirable and won't serve it. -
How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library
How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library
Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
WTH. -
How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?
You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod. This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library. In 11 that button is no longer there. How can you do this now?
Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red). Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
Hey presto!
Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?
