Red & Green Arrow Icon when Importing

Does anyone know why I have a red & green arrow icon appear, when I am importing a clip (v 11)? I then have to repeat the process, and the clip appears. The first 80+ clips were fine, then this problem started. This is very frustrating!

Hi Bill,
Sorry for the delay in replying. I have spent the time de-cluttering / removing programs, clearing the registry, and de-fragging.
I then carried out a number of tests:
Opened Task Manager and the Resource Monitor. Both registered zero on CPU usage (no programs running).
Opened Premier Elements - both registered between 1 and 2% CPU usage.
I then opened Organizer (from the bottom of Premier) - both CPU usages jumped to 100%. Computer slowed considerably.
It is interesting that Organizer still does not show all my JPGs (between 5 and 10%), the rest are icons - either an hour glass, or the flower question mark. Where some of the JPGs are showing, only a fraction of the ones in the folder have been imported.
I then closed Organizer (exit from Premier) - CPU usage in both remained at 100% (even after 10 minutes)
I then closed Premier (exit) - CPU usage in both remained at 100%.
Organizer is still running in the Resource Monitor (average 96.85%), along with Elements Auto Analyzer (0%) and Adobe QT32 Server.exe (0%). The same is happening in Task Manager, except Organizer is taking 99% CPU usage.
It is 40 minutes since the programs have been closed.
My picture and video folders are as follows:
    My Pictures:   104GB    29994 files    585 folders
    Videos:          269GB    12290 files    277 folders
    HDD:            Used:    488GB
                        Free     432GB
Core i7 2.8GHz
8GB RAM
Win 7 64-bit
My apologies for such a lengthy reply, but I am at a loss as to what may be wrong!
Can I clear Organizer totally, and see if that works?
Should I delete a portion of my pictures / videos? (I have a back-up).
Your assistance is so appreciated.
Michael
P.S. The only way to clear my memory, is to re-start.

Project Assets Red Green Arrows and media not found

There were no results for Project Asset Red Green Arrows? I imported and edited a fair amount of video from one file folder and edited it and rendered. Then I imported about the same number of video clips from another file folder and they time line won't find the media? A box appears and asks me where it is, but it will not accept it when I find and select. The second batch of media remains off line. I am guessing I need to assemble all clips in one file folder? whats going on here and how do I over come it? thanks

The bottom line is that you cannot move or delete source media that went into a project after you have saved closed the project. Otherwise, you will run into a nasty media reconnect situation characterized by those "Where is the file.....?" when you go to reopen the project. Those messages can be used for reconnecting the missing media. Replace Footage feature can also be used for replacing missing media. More on that another time. Let us focus on the "Where is the file....?" for now.
When you import media from the hard drive into a project, you end up with copies, not the originals, in Project Assets. And, those copies need to trace make to the hard drive location where the originals are and where the program recognizes them..
Reflecting back, do you see any place in your workflow when you could have moved or deleted the source media that went into the project after you saved closed it?
Another possibilities that should not be overlooked (as nealeh mentioned), if you are importing your media from an external hard drive, the drive letter of the drive could have change by itself unexpectedly. Did you see such a drive letter change if that scenario fits what you have?
And, if you have existing projects using the media that you are planning on "organizing", beware of what your "re-organization" may end up doing to your other projects, for example, lots of reconnects because of this action.
Please review and let us know if any of what has been mentioned applies to your situation.
Thanks.

How do I make the red-green-yellow icons and the text in window title bars larger?

The title text is a little too small to just see - I have to concentrate on it to read it - and I can't tell the red-green-yellow icons apart without staring at them. Yes, my sight is quite poor; I'm already sitting as close as I can.

sorry about the slang display portal, i just mean the entire screen, like a magnifying glass. There is probably a keystroke, and it's probally all in here:
I do agree it's a concern, as I have a torn retina, and my eye gets strained quickly.

Green distorted video when imported

Several times I've run into a problem with importing .mp4 filetypes. It doesn't happen with every mp4.
They play fine in Movie Maker and VLC. When I import them, they are usually green with pink and very distorted. I've tried Rendering them and it results in the same distortion. I've tried saving them in Movie Maker first and that usually results in the audio disappearing but the video will be clear, plus it makes me feel very foolish for spending the money on Premiere if I have to filter it through another program first.
I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a relatively powerful PC. i7, 32gb ram, win8.
After doing a lot of research I'm really not sure what I should try next. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I need to think about this some more. But, what you could try is renaming just the file extension of the file...
mp4 to .mov
mp4 to .avi
mp4 to .mpg
mp4 to .m2t
mp4 to .m2ts
It looks like you have AVCHD video compression and AAC audio compression with the .mp4 wrapper. Those should be compatible, unless there is some sort of special codec involved.behind the AVCHD tag?
Conversion to another format may be the answer, but let us see. Movie Maker was going to be my first choice, but then I saw that you tried that and found it helped the video but not the audio.
When you are getting this pink green representation in Premiere Elements, did you say the sound was unaffected or not?
More tomorrow.

My iPad 2 doesn't show the green battery icon when charging.

when i charge the ipad2 i see that it is charging on the top right symbol
i do not see the big green battery like on the iphone.
Why is there no big green battery on the opening screen when i wakeup the ipad2?

That feature doesn't show on the iPad2. I only have the symbol in the upper corner as well. You can buy a batter app that when used will show the battery upon wake up.

I get an error message when checking the response arrow icon: What do I do?

When I respond to a message, it sits in my sent folder. If I wanted to see my response, I could check my inbox on the original email and click on the response arrow icon. Now I get a message "error - Mail was unable to find your response to the message "subject of message" You may have deleted the message.
I know I did not delete it so I am not sure what is happening. It worked before.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Although one would think that re-creating the index could fix this problem, that’s not the case. What sometimes works is restarting the computer or doing some cache-cleaning — don’t ask me why, and I don’t know how to fix the problem when that doesn’t work either.
You may also want to take a look at the following thread, where another user reported the problem in his/her case was related to a difference in how the email address was written:

Why do Apple photos lose quality when imported to Windows?

When photos taken on an Apple phone are imported to Windows Photoshop Elements 11, the photos seriously lose quality. Why?

A bitmap image (such as a .jpg or .gif) is basically a grid of colors, which are represented by the values (numbers) for how much red, green, and blue of each pixel in the grid to activate when the image is displayed on a monitor or printed.
Some bitmap images (including .jpgs) can also specify a color profile. Applications that support color profiles will adjust the color values before they are displayed. Photoshop honors color profiles, Fireworks does not. Fireworks does not, because most browsers do not; Fireworks displays images as they will be seen on the Web. Photoshop does, because Photoshop can support color profiles for print devices.
Photoshop has a default color profile. If you open an image that does not have a color profile in Photoshop, Photoshop will apply its default color profile to the image and adjust the color values it displays. Photoshop shows you modified data; Fireworks shows you the raw data. This is not a quality issue, because nothing has changed with your image and the applications are operating exactly as they are supposed to.
What you want, I think, is to be able to open your image in Photoshop, and then save the richer view of the colors you see, but without a color profile.

You can find out more about this whole issue if you query your favorite search engine for the phrase "photoshop save for web color shift" (without the quotes).

Loss of camera settings when importing raw files in Aperture 3

Hello Everyone,
I seem to have an issue with raw pictures taken with a Nikon D90. I noticed that when shooting in raw, any setting I used on the camera (for example B&W or landscape settings) are lost after the pictures are imported in A3. Did anyone else experience the same issue? Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Val

Shooting raw will always give best results and probably simplest to do any adjustments you want inside of Aperture. When you select B&W Aperture is not communicating with Nikon fully or visa versa. It is a simple and more rewarding experience to set B&W or any other settings in the Adjustments Pane in Aperture. There is another small tab also called Adjustments which opens a drop down window. Here there are a range of options to choose from one is B&W. Another pane then opens with red green or blue filters. B&W is sensitive to colour. With these you can change the way the grey scale sees things like the blue sky or foliage.
Another nice feature of raw is no need to worry about White Balance. Leave the camera on Auto WB, any inaccuracy can be easily sorted in Aperture. Nikon has quite good auto WB anyway.
To begin, it is best to consider raw as a starting point rather than a finished product until you get used to the things that do and don't interface twixed camera and Aperture.
I hope that is some help. Welcome to Aperture. Allan

Raw files become dull and lifeless when imported

i have an isue with the fact that i spend time setting up my camera for the rite white balance and exposure to get a quality image that might use some spot removal in post but thats about it, to have the images become dark, dull and lifeless in lightroom when imported. when i try to bring the color back its just not the same. why is this happening and how can i fix it. i am glad that i saved the files elsware first, the raw images look fine in other sofware its just lightroom that is doing this. here is an screen shot of the same image side by side the one on the left is raw exactly how it lookes in camera with canon software and the one on the right is in lightroom. at first it looked the same but 2 seconds later it was dull and imo ugly.

You lack a basic understanding of what a Raw file is and what it isn't. It is data from the sensor siphoned off the camera's pipeline immediately after it is converted from analog to digital data, a checkerboard of the intensities of light received by red-seeing pixels, green-seeing pixels and blue-seeing pixels. A record of the intensities only (greyscale) and not the colors. All the colors will be created by the camera further down the line, on the way to a jpg. The Raw can, at best, be characterized as a b&w image, dark and flat because it is linear. The later processing will also apply a Tonal Response Curve to make it brighter, contrastier and more vivid. Since the Raw has been pulled out of the camera before it gets a chance to do all this, it has to be done by the Raw converter - Lightroom in this case. But the camera needs to display on its LCD a review of the shot, so it does do the rest of what is needed to produce a bright and pretty jpg, purely for display purposes,and then embeds that jpg in the Raw file. When you view the Raw on an application that is not a converter, it shows you that jpg. Open the Raw in the converter from the camera maker and it uses the same processing as the camera to produce a very similar image to that jpg, a more or less finished product. But the initial processing done by LR is more restrained and moderate because it is assumed that if you shot Raw you will want to design your own personal processing, an expression of your taste, judgement and vision. By having defaults that add only minimal processing LR is providing a starting point that leaves the road open to whatever direction you want to take it. But if you don't want to make that investment, Adobe bundles with LR a collection of presets that will move the sliders for you and there are many hundreds more on the internet, both free and purchasable.

PICTURES ARE FUZZY WHEN IMPORTED TO DVD DISC

I'm new to creating dvds. Pictures are fuzzy when imported to dvd disc ( memorex DVD-R). What am i doing wrong?

Hi
Hard to say as You don't suply any info on
• What photo file format, size You use
• How You go from photo to iDVD
And ! - Please do not Yell ! - Capitalized letters = Yelling in most forums and here a low and polite conversation most often will get better and more rapid results.
Some thoughts about DVD Quality
• DVD can only be SD-Video what ever tool used to encode it. And that is much less than what Your Mac screen can show.
• Tools used to create the SlideShow - give a very different (quality) result
iMovie'08 to 11 - discard every second line = less resolution
iMovie HD6 and FinalCut - full interlaced video over to iDVD (as good as it can be)
FotoMagico™ _ Great and even more so if result is burned as a Blu-Ray Disk
Some notes follows - if You are of interest.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
Yours Bengt W

Green Envelope Icon Problem

Hi,
I have a Palm Centro with Verizon. I do not have a data plan. I have picture and video text messages blocked because they charge me for internet data. When I send or receive a text message, I have a green envelope icon at top with a blinking yellow arrow that hangs my palm for up to 2 minutes.
Verizon cant reset the envelope, but said it might be because of a text message with an attached picture in cyberworld that cant get in. Another rep thought it might be trying to sync with an email address??? I have talked to 5+ reps with no solution yet.
Verizon keeps ragging on me to get a data plan. They say I am the only person in the world with a smart phone / PDA without a data plan. I have internet access 24/7 without my phone.
Any help, advise?
Thanks

No, there's no way to make it the default. You can, however, get the miniplayer if you hold down the Option key and then click the green button.
BTW, questions about the Mac version of iTunes will usually get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask in the iTunes for Mac forum rather than here in the iTunes for Windows forum.
Regards.

Red green blue white screen

Opened up the PB from sleep yesterday and was greeted with a blue, then red, then green, then white screen. Fan started up but no chimes. No icons or other symbols on screen. Tried to restart and force shutdown with no improvement. Each time I restarted, the same blue, red, green, white cycle.
Had no apps open when PB put to sleep prior to this problem.
Help!

I just got a g4 15 in from ebay, worked fine yeasterday and today. This evening it went red, green, blue then white. I read the posts and thought great bad logic board. I squeezed the display at the edges (I had a 5300 cs that did a simlar thing) and the screen came back on. Anyone else have any luck with this?

Mail attachments not downloading (shows download arrow icon only)

Mountain Lion's Mail seems to be very flakey.
The main problem I have is that quite often when an email comes in with an attachement all I see is an icon with a download arrow. When I click it nothing happens. Usually I have to open the message in a new window, click loads of times until eventually it opens (usually several copies of it).
These are not big files, images, pdfs or .ppt files usually. No more than a meg. Often there are multiple attachements and maybe one or two ar displayed in the body (if images) the others are download icons.
Activity shows the mail coming in and that it takes a little wile to download as if the attachment is being transferred.
Its getting really anoyying. Never had this problem before in Lion or previous.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
