Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

    In other words, how does your explanation account for ED (enhanced definition)?
    ED is generally considered to be 576p or 480p, but this is not universally accepted and these resolutions are often accepted as HD also. Additionally an ED signal uses non square pixels just as SD does so the horizontal pixel dimensions should be no more than 720. Exactly how the tv would treat these resolutions I don't know (yet).
    If you have a copy of the source code for the function that displays the HD icon, please post it so I can take a look at it.
    Why should I have such a copy and why is it relevant. The issue here is that the OP believes his video is incorrectly labelled HD which is not the case. There may or may not be anomalies in the way the tv attributes the HD label to some files (although it isn't the case for me), however the OP has incorrectly converted his source video and they are no longer SD, they are also not ED by whichever definition you wish to apply and any such anomalies should they exist are not responsible for the OP's files being labelled HD.

  • TS1630 My iPhone 4 says the headphones are in when they are not. I am not getting any sound from the speaker. Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack.  Any ideas anyone?

    My iPhone 4S  has no sound through the speaker generally, although the speakerphone does work.  It is indicating that headphones are in, when they are not.  Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack.  Resetting the phone has not resolved the problem.  any ideas what could be wrong?

    This just happened to my brand new iPhone5. I tried turning all the way off and then on AND plugging and unplugging. Only to discover that simply connecting to the charger worked!!!
    Very frustrating though!!

  • I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.

    I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Why does my Ipad say headphones are connected when they are not?

    I do not have sound on my iPad1. When I try to turn up the volum it indicates headphones are connected, but they are not. When I do use headphones they do work. I have rebooted the iPad, reset and restored the iPad and the issue still exists. Is this a straight hardware problem?

    iPad has a mechanical switch inside the jack so it knows when the headphones are plugged in.
    It may be stuck.
    Inspect it to see if something is in there, such as toe jam.
    Blow the port out with compressed air.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug several times.

  • Changed over to email, when adding contacts to email, says they are invalid when they are not.

    Since changing over to the new improved email system, so I could be more organized, when I try and put my contacts in, it says they are invalid and doesn't recognize them.  When in fact there are no spelling errors, the emails are typed in correctly, with correct characters.  I am so frustrated.  Any answers? 

    There are no known issues with the creating of contacts. We would like to see the methodology of input  as well as the content you are putting in. I have sent you a private message so we can work further on this

  • What is lightroom doing behind the scenes? Can't figure it out

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is a stupid question or not... I've prowled through some FAQ's and can't find an answer so I'll just post this and see if any of you have an answer.
    This might be because I'm using the trial version, but I can't see how Lightroom 'saves' changes to your photos. I've gone through and made some color corrections to some photos, added keywords, but when I go to the folder they're in, the files aren't changed at all, even after exiting and reopening Lightroom. I guess this is a 'feature' of Lightroom's non-destructive editing, but I can't figure out how you're supposed to get your changes made. You don't have to go through the 'print' or 'web' tabs to export images, do you? Or do you need to export images one by one and then deal with copies of each image (ie, balancing the Lightroom'ed files vs. the originals)?
    Also, try as I might I can't seem to get my keyword updates for images to be reflected in Windows when I right-click and go to properties. It's important to me that Lightroom be able to edit keywords in the actual file, and not just maintain a little library of keywords per image somewhere locally like Picasa did. The reasons are numerous, but include the fact that I'd like to be able to move images around from place to place and have the keywords stick with them.
    Which also brings up the question of where Lightroom's database of keyword synonyms exist at. I'm guessing it's all in one giant file somewhere on my computer? And if that's the case, then when I edit keywords on my laptop and move them to my desktop, the desktop won't recognize the keyword synonyms? I'll need to manually sync Lightroom databases on the two machines every so often?
    Sorry if these are silly questions, but they feel like basics to me and I can't see any obvious mention of these in the FAQ's or manual. If it's located somewhere obvious in the manual then you can just let me know that, but at this point I'd kind of prefer if someone who knows can just give me a yes/no.
    Thanks so much,
    --Allen

    >Remember though that the color corrections, exposure, etc. just get saved as instructions in the file itself.
    Metadata and parametric (develop) settings are stored in Lr's database. This information is only written to disk -- either within TIF, PSD, JPEG, or DNG files, or a sidecar XMP file for proprietary raw files -- when preferences are set to "Automatically write changes to XMP", or you explictly write using the Metadata>XMP menu.
    When you export an image keywords are always exported as well. The OP stated something about Windows file properties not showing keywords. I have no idea what convention Microsoft uses for this information but it is non-standard. For example the free image viewer Irfanview shows this IPTC data just fine.

  • Trying to combine folders within LR4 from two separate drives without creating duplicates--sometimes it won't let me transfer to destination folder because it says files are there when they are not; other times, allows duplicates to transfer

    Trying to consolidate 261K+ of images within LR4 between two drives.  Someone who was "helping" me with my Library in LR4 for some reason took some but not all of the file folders from my main backup drive (M) and duplicated them onto a partitioned hard drive (E) directly on the computer.  The duplication is huge, so I am trying to condense them all back onto the original backup drive M, particularly since I believe there are also folders on the partitioned backup drive E that do not appear on the main one M, and there are many more file folders on M that are not on E, so that is the destination drive.
    CONSOLIDATION:  When I try to drag either the file folders or the individual files from the duplicate drive E to the original drive M to combine the two drives since the folders in many cases for some reason are not identical, sometimes LR4 says the files already exist when they clearly don't. Other times it allows me to drag and drop all files, even if the exact duplicates are already on the destination drive, thereby doubling the number of files per image and creating more duplicates.  Right now I am opening each file folder on the duplicate drive E, looking at what extensions and file names are there, scrolling to the original drive, making sure they appear to be identical, then going back to the duplicate drive E, deleting the images in the folder, removing the folder, and moving to the next folder on the duplicate drive E.  *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    CONSOLIDATION APPROACH: I did start to create file folders names A, B, C and group file folders under them to reduce clutter, since those header folders can be closed down when not in use, but now I am wondering if I should have done that alphabetization to the main backup drive rather than to the partitioned backup drive.
    My goal is to consolidate the two drives down to one, delete as many images along the way that I know I will never miss, then backup the catalog and export it to an external drive and then copy that to yet another drive for offside storage.  Does this sound like the proper plan?  Last time it took almost 24 hours and over a terabyte to export the catalog.
    DUPLICATION:  I also have many file folders that have the exact same image in them.  One portfolio image may actually be in eight different folders, with the exact file, file name, file size, and date, even though I always have checked "no duplicates on import,"  How can this be? What is the best way to sort through duplicates?  Why are the files in some of the duplicate folders not in numerical order? If I do a search and call up a file # and find 15 duplicates, the only way I can find where those duplicates reside is to take each duplicate, right click to Locate Folder in Library, then once I find it, I have to go back to All Photographs>Text.search for file #, go to the second duplicate, right click to Locate Folder in Library, then once I find it, I have to do it all again.  Is there a simpler way to see all the occurrences in their respective folder locations at once?
    SEARCH BY FILE FOLDER NAME ONLY: I also find I can't search for a file using a folder name (for example, "John_Doe").  I can only search by file #, keywords, or camera/lens/date, etc.  Why will it not work to use All Photographs>Text>search for Doe? In other words, if I didn't keyword the individual files as John Doe, I can't search for them by that moniker.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    FOLDER LIST PRINTOUT: Is there a way to print out the Folder list (other than a screen shot)? I have so many file folders on each drive since I sort not by Year/Month/Date but by subject. It makes trying to compare duplicate folders quite unwieldy. 
    SLOW RESPONSE:  And finally, as though that weren't enough, why does LR4 continually blink to a white screen after each keystroke?  Takes forever just to be able to click through images, view info after hovering, etc. All other programs are closed down and the operating system shows very little memory being used.

    A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
    *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    Yes, really

  • IPhoto warning me that pics I'm importing are duplicates when they are not

    I just got a new mac and am attempting to import my pictures from an external hard drive.   IPhoto tells me that pics are duplicate and shows me two thumbnails that are not duplicate pictures.  To be honest I do not know if the filenames are duplicates or if it matters (they are stored in different folders on the hard drive).  How do I get iPhoto to just import these pictures and also keep the ones that it thinks are duplicates?

    It is not clear what you are doing wrong according to your question.

  • ITunes thinks songs are missing when they are NOT...

    I've written about this in the past and I thought I had fixed it manually. For some reason a large number of my songs (about 1300) in iTunes are not able to be found on the drive when I try to play them. Once I try to play them I get an error message saying "The song "song name" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it" and then the "!" symbol shows up next to the song. The songs files ARE there though.
    In the past I thought I solved this problem because I "re-added" using all the songs in my library (about 4500) "File->Add To Library". If the song was one of these "missing" songs it was re-added to the library. The songs that were not "missing" were not re-added. (and again, the song files iTunes is re-adding are the exact song files it is saying aren't there in the first place) After the "re-add" I essentially had two of all the missing songs. One with the "!" and one without it. The newly added songs did not have any of the stats the original song had. So I used a script I was told about that goes through and syncs the song's statistics. Then after the song stats were synced I removed the "!" song from the library. I had to do this one song at a time. Of course, this took a VERY long time and I don't really want to go through it again... especially now that I know it may not be a permanent fix anyway!
    However here is something new I noticed now that I have Leopard: The files that are showing up as missing are also the ones that don't have a "thumbnail" icon of the album cover in the finder. Also, if I go into coverflow view in the finder those files don't have the album as the other files do. However, there should be no differences between the files. For example, one album where each song was ripped at the same time in the same way will have some songs that have the cover icon and some that don't.
    As I reported last time, this is not specific to one machine and has noting to do with the drive the songs are on. This also was happening on both 10.5.1. and 10.4.11 and lower.
    So, why is this happening and how can it be fixed. I'm not going to re-import the songs because then I loose all my stats, ratings, etc and have to re-do the long method of fixin the stats.. There needs to be some way to permanently fix this problem. Is it with the song files or the library? Is there some sort of validation script that can be run?
    Oh, on a side note... pre-leopard the "!" would show all the time. Now, if I close iTunes and re-open the "!" are gone until I try to play the song that should have the "!". This makes things even more challenging because I can't quit iTunes if I want to know which songs are "missing".
    Jeff

    I have this same issue. I use an external HD connected to an Airport Extreme Base station to store my music. On Tiger 10.4.11 iTunes created a music database just fine and found every mp3. I just installed Leopard last night and left iTunes to create its database overnight. It found every song, but there are plenty with the exclamation just as you described. If I want to play these songs I must hit "Yes" to locate the song manually. I can then play any other song with an exclamation point in that particular album, but if I go to try to play another song with an exclamation point from another album I must repeat the process again.
    It's definitely a problem with Leopard as I just got my mac back from the Apple store with a replaced hard drive. I created the iTunes database in Tiger on one day, then the next decided to purchase and install Leopard. So one day passed between each instance of building the database and it worked fine on a clean install of Tiger but not on a clean install of Leopard.

  • Trash Won't Trash Two Items, Claims They Are Open, When They Are Not

    I installed 11 apps from one of those McBundle deals.  They have been installed Applications.  I have trashed the bundle package as it's been downloaded, serial numbered, and put in the Application folder.  When I went to Trash, dialogue box comes up saying two of the apps can't be trashed because they in use. Tried holding down Option/C ommand, and trashing - nothing happened.  It's worked in the past, why not now?  How do I trash these items from the bundle package?  All the other apps were successfully trashed.   Thanks for any help.

    Try this...
    Force the Trash to empty using the Option key
    This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
    Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
    Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
    Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.

    It's an iMovie Library file that you need to search for. By default iMovie Library files are in the Movies folder.

  • ITunes thinks tracks are empty when they are not

    Hi--
    My problem is that when I try to burn imported (original) tracks to disk from iTunes, iTunes says "tracks are empty." iTunes recognizes and plays the tracks; can import them; but seems unable to recognize them when asked to burn to CD.
    Any advice??
    thanks--

    Yes, they are in a playlist--and they play back. I think the files were SDII or WAVs originally off Pro Tools.
    Thanks!
