I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the defaul for opening a project?

For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
Thank you.

IMOVIE : After stabilizing my project window because disabled!?

Can anyone help, Im trying to complete a imovie project and every time i try to stabilize a video clip i lose the project window to see what i have stabilized ; in addition when restarting imovie i lose all my work as a result of that!
Is there any solution out there for me?

What is the codec if the clip that you are stabilizing?
Hint... Right click on the clip in your event. Select "Reveal in Finder". In the Finder, right-click on the clip and select "Open-With...QuickTime Player".
In QuickTime Player, select Window/Inspector and tell us what is listed next to the word "Format:"

When I click on Firefox, it won't open... the icon flashes as if opening but no browser window opens. It also does not appear in the task manager

I click on the icon and it flashes as if opening.... no browser window appears.... I check the task manager to see if it is open but not displayed... nothing in the task manager..
So I uninstalled it leaving my preferences, and reinstalled it but it does the same thing. This time when I went to uninstall it again wiping the preferences away (in case it is those that is causing the problem) the uninstall program said that I had to close firefox first... but it isn't showing up as open in the task manager....
Final though... the last few weeks I have had a page pop up to advertise a need to update this or that, a need to click on this or that... obviously some kind of bug/virus.... help me get firefox going again...

ICal app opens, stays open, but my calendar window will not come up

very frustrating. I'm all up-to-date with software updates. As of last week, iCal opens, remains open, but I can't see my calendar window.
I go to Window, Calendar... nothing. Any suggestions will be very helpful.
Running Tiger (10.4.9) on a Powerbook 17" 1GHz. iCal version 2.0.5 (1069)
Thanks

I've got a similar problem, though with an intriguing difference. iCal opens, and stays open, but nothing is visible, same as you.
But... day view works, month view works, but WEEK VIEW is completely blank.
Not only that, if I have ever tried WEEK VIEW (and got a blank), then subsequent attempts to use both day and month views are significantly disabled, in that there are no buttons down the bottom right-hand corner (search results/todos/info) - I can no longer show/hide any of these any more, until I quit iCal and relaunch.
Week view was originally my default view, which may or may not be relevant.

Safari open, but no browser window

Running Safari 3.0.4... I leave my system running daily... Sometimes when I try to open Safari, the icon bounces correctly, but there is no browser window... I double check to see if the application is open from the dock and it shows that the window is there... I even checked with Activity Monitor and it show it is running... The only fix I do now is just run the reset system from the Finder menu... No alarms, crashes, or warnings are displayed... No other applications is affected like this... Just Safari... Any suggestions???

Hi chipper,
When Safari does this, do you register an open window under Safari's 'Window' menu? There have been reports of a curious bug in Spaces where if you've assigned an application to a particular space and then disable Spaces, the application's windows can sometimes wander off. In these cases, it helps to re-enable Spaces, clear its list of application-assignments, and then disable it again.

Mozilla browser IS open but cannot find window where did it go

When I click on the Mozilla icon in the task bar to open the browser the browser window does not show up on the screen. I know it is opened because when I drag the mouse over the Mozilla icon I can see the page in the small screen I can click on that but it still does not appear in maximized size. I can click on the x in the small box and Mozilla will close.
I did nothing to cause this just left my desk for a minute came back and could not get the window to reappear. Tried to update the program but that did not change anything.

Are you running the latest version of Firefox? This was supposed to have been fixed in Firefox 24 or so (that the window would be repositioned at startup if it was offscreen).
Here are three different approaches. One of them should work!
'''Firefox Window "off screen" — Arrow Key Method'''
If you know that Firefox is off to a particular side, you can use the arrow keys to move it back on screen. You only need to move it far enough to be able to click the title bar and then you can drag it the rest of the way.
Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination to start moving the window:
Alt+Spacebar > m
(To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the letter m to start moving the window.)
Press the arrow key for the direction you want to move the window, e.g., press the left arrow key to move the window left. Press the Enter key to complete the move.
'''Firefox Window "off screen" — Maximize + New Window Script Method'''
If Firefox is nowhere to be found but you know it's out there, try this method.
Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination to maximize the window:
Alt+Spacebar > x
(To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the letter x to maximize the window.)
''If that works,'' try this:
(1) Copy the following line of code to the clipboard (it's all one line...):
newwin=window.open(window.location.href, "_blank", "width=640,height=480,menubar,toolbar,personalbar");newwin.moveTo(0,0);
(2) In the maximized window, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the web console.
(3) Press Ctrl+v to paste the line of code next to the caret (») then press Enter to run it. A new copy of that page should open in a window positioned at the top left of the screen.
(4) Switch back to the maximized window and close it first, before doing anything in the new window.
'''Firefox Window "off screen" — Remove Settings File'''
If you can't move or maximize Firefox, you can rename or delete the settings file that stores the last window position.
(1) Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder).
From the Start menu (Run box or search box), paste this into the search box and press Enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
This should open a window showing one or more Firefox profile folders. If you have multiple folders, look for the most recent. Click into your profile folder.
(2) Switch back to Firefox and Exit completely.
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your profile folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any luck?

Since I began to use Time Warner Cable internet connection, I find it difficult to get Firefox to open. Firefox.exe opens, but the browser window seldom opens. How can I fix this? I use Windows XP Home.

A few times, I have gotten Firefox to open.

Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
Thank you

IWeb opens but there is no project window

I use iWeb extensively and have never had this issue before. iWeb opens and shows all the menu items but no project window.
I used Time Machine to restore an older version of my iWeb Pages folder, didn't work.
I used this help discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2199580?start=0&tstart=0) to fine and rebuild the iWeb domain or package folder. If I remove the old package iWeb creates a new one and will open an empty project window. Partial sucess, but if I replce the contetns with my old package contents it again won't open the projects and there is no project window.
I can't beleive I never noticed iWeb has no way of opening an exsitng project!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY don't want to have to re build my sites from scratch.
I'm on iWeb '08 2.0.4 and Mac OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks,
David

Well yes, iWeb can open an existing project, but it does have to be your domain.sites file and not a published version of your website because iWeb has no import facility so cannot open html and css.
Find the correct iWeb data file and iWeb will most certainly open it and this can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Your a probably having problems because you are using iWeb 08 with Mountain Lion and iWeb 08 has been reported as having bugs and not working with Mountain Lion. If you want to continue using iWeb, then you will probably need to upgrade it to iWeb 09. Unfortuntately, the only way that you can get iWeb 09 now is to buy it from Amazon. Get either the iLife 09 or iLife 11 boxed set and both of these contain iWeb 09.
iWeb 09 works with Mountain Lion and you can also have separate domain.sites files which you cannot in iWeb 08. In iWeb 09 you can also use direct publishing rather than publishing to a folder.
Try upgrading to iWeb 09 if you want to continue using it with Mountain Lion or your other alternative if you don't want to buy iWeb 09 is to continue to use iWeb 08, but use it on a Mac still running Snow Leopard with which it works.

Imovie project window still image freeze

Imovie '09 issue with project window freeze unresolved. skimmer continues to scan project in project window but still images remains frozen in window pane. audio unaffected. any ideas out there?

I seem to have a similar problem. When green screening some footage in a project the application does not update on the screen. You can still skim, but none of the buttons work. Restarting does not solve it, neither does copying the files to a different machine.
Looks like a bug to me. Any ideas if it is being looked at?

Can not use, or open, a recovered project with extension .rcproject

I had been working in a project for a couple of weeks, I was putting together a bunch of clips from different road trips and re-unions that I had with some friends.
One day I was removing video that I had marked as rejected. I selected the rejected video and tried to send it to the trash by selecting Move Rejected Clips to Trash from the File menu. When trying to send it to the trash my project was erased and iMovie froze right away. iMovie restarted but my project was not there anymore. I looked in the iMovie folder and there my project was, with a .rcproject extension. I made a copy of this right away. I tried to open this weird extension project by double clicking it, iMovie opens when I do this, but my project does not load.
So here's my question, how, if possible, can I review my "recovered" project and keep working on it?

So here's my question, how, if possible, can I review my "recovered" project and keep working on it?
I would normally assume that all of your "resource" pointers were "orphaned" by the removing of the project file. While it is theoretically possible to restore the file to its former location and check to see the pointers are re-instated, I personally would not bother to try and manually correct them if the pointers themselves have been changed. The "forté" of iMovie '08 is your ability to quickly edit content and, generally speaking, I find it easier to re-edit the project material than to manually edit all of the individual project package files.

When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

Thanks for the tip, but I had already tried this and it did not help. The File still downloads and , at the same time, a new Safari window opens - but the Safari window is blank.
Another discussion thread related to this problem is:
How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?
but this deals with Safari 5.1 which evidently has a problem with Adobe Reader.
I am using Safari 5.0, so the suggested solutions do not apply. ( I tried them anyway, but they did not work.)
