Simple I'm sure but need to know

Ok so I'm pretty sure this will be simple but need to know. I've got a Final Cut Quicktime Movie file that was exported through FCP version 6.0.2. I'm currently working on FCP version 5.1.4 trying to put some stuff together. I know I cannot import the clip into 5.1.4 but is there a way via another FCS program or something where I can convert it to a different format therefore enabling me to import it into 5.1.4? Let me know thanks.

Well I know you cannot open a project file from FCP6 in FCP5. That's just common sense but let me break it down. I exported a file in FCP6 via exporting "Quicktime Movie..." so it is now a Final Cut QuickTime Movie file. Now I am on my own computer trying to import this Final Cut QuickTime file into FCP5 and it won't let me import it and reads "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". Now the real weird thing to me (but not my problem necessarily) is when I try and open this file in QuickTime by using "Open with..." it opens it as if it is a QuickTime audio file with no video and doesn't even play the audio. Strange I know. Never had this deal before.

    I received LR 5 for Christmas but have not downloaded it yet on my computer. I have had LR 3 for about 4 years.  I am due to buy a new computer soon but need to know how many licenses/downloads I will get before downloading LR 5 on my current computer.  I may also purchase a laptop in the next year so that would require 3 licenses altogether (current iMac, future iMac, future macbook).

    You have one license.
    You can download and install it on an infinite number of computers, as long as it is only installed on two of your computers at any one time, and in use on only one computer at any given time.
    So in your case, current iMac, that's would mean its installed on one computer, no problem. Future iMac and future MacBook ... so if you uninstall from current iMac and install on Future iMac and future MacBook, it's now installed on two computers at a time, no problem, as long as you're not using Lightroom on both simultaneously. And if after that, you got two new computers and uninstalled Lightroom from the previous two, you're still good, it's only installed on two computers at any one time.

  • I am so tired of iphoto crashing, losing work I've done.  I want to switch to photoshop elements 10 but need to know if it uses the iphoto library or if I can import that library into elements

    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

    Per OWC, your 13" MBP will accept up to 16 GB RAM.  I strongly urge you to purchase from them.  Click on the  icon and select About This Mac... and you should get this display:

  • Want to move to from XP to Mac but need to know before hand about security.

    Hi!
    For the past few months, I have been having some serious trouble with my system. Twice every month, my setting change and my emails passwords changed. It happens, I reinstall Windows xp home, change the passwords for administrator and user, turn off remote assistance, turn on firewall and then change my password every week which contain letters, numbers and punctuations.
    But still someone is trying to sneak in. My settings still change and my passwords cracked.
    I am thinking of buying the new iMac and I will be running XP or Vista on it virtually.
    But before I do that I want to know what I will have to do to ensure this doesn't happens on iMac.
    Should I change my user password every day, I will if I have too?
    How long does it takes for a dedicated cracker to crack a say 20 letter(alphabets,numbers and punctuation) password file?
    What else should I do?
    I had a system crash due to some virus and lost 45GB of data that was residing on an external HD it was connected to the system at the time when the system crashed and all was lost. I want to prevent that.
    Please help.

    If the computer you're using now has been compromised and they keep coming back you will have to reformat your hard drive and re-install your OS, that's the only way you can be absolutely certain that the backdoor trojan they installed is removed.
    Once that is done, make sure you use both firewall and anti-virus software. If you're using a router, make sure it's firewall is also on.
    OS X is not susceptible to Windows virus/trojan problems but it's not 100% secure (no computer is). OS X has had some exploitable problems as well, so you would still want to use its firewall as well as anti-virus software such as ClamXav, especially if you plan on running Windows on it.
    My advice to you right now is to disconnect your infected computer from the Internet, reformat its hard drive, re-install the OS and make sure you set up proper security on it as I previously described.

  • Updating files crash - no more information, but need to know what file causes it

    Hello everyone!
    I'm not sure where exactly to look for an answer, so here is what happens.
    My version is RoboHelp 9.0.1.262.
    Documentation department writes help, then it is translated and then I need to compile translated online help. I take translated folders and files (*.htm, *.hhc, and *.hhk) and drop them in an English project. I then open RH, open the project, verify that I see translated files by randomly clicking around. Then I attempt to generate target which is WebHelp. Under Content Categories I change language to correct target and click on Save and Generate. RH goes on with its normal procedure:
    - starting compilation
    - clearing output folder
    - preparing to create WebHelp
    - preparing files for WebHelp
    - Copying file
    - Updating files
    And this is where it crashes.
    I know why it crashes - most likely translators have not added or messed up some tags. What I want to know is where exactly it happens, i.e. what file. If I know the first file or list of files, I can fix them. I just don't know a way how to get a list of such files, or at least the first file. Please help. One may suggest to go back to translators and ask them to make sure all tags are there - this is being done continuously. The problem is that application is so huge (I mean it - huge), that fixes must come from all sides. Please help.
    Thanks a lot,
    Yuri

    Hi there
    Likely you need to use the "divide and conquer" approach. Make a copy of the project. Delete half the topics from the copy and try compiling. You work your way through deleting and compiling until you isolate the problem topic(s).
    Another approach would involve taking the good copy, then adding perhaps five topics at a time and compiling until you isolate the culprit(s).
    Cheers... Rick

  • Okay, a dumb question, but need to know -

    do I need to buy protection software like Norton or Malware Bytes for my mac?  I thought Mac's don't get hacked.

    No.
    It's not a dumb question at all. Most people come to this site after they mess up their Mac. Don't install that junk, and you won't be coming here when you need to fix the problems it causes.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Trying to install Final Cut Studio/Pro that was on my old Mac Pro.  Have old disks and upgrade but need to know the install sequence.

    My old Mac drive died and bought a Air.  Trying to install Final Cut but bumping into error on trying to install Studio.  I have an upgrade to Pro but I have been told that I need to install Studio first.  I have all the original disks.

    Final Cut Studio 2 has a "bug" in the installer program that results in the "PowerPC" dialog box.
    There are two alternative methods to install into Mavericks:
    Use Pacifist:

    Use Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:

  • I ran my iphone over but need to access my contacts/info/pics. I have a up to date backup of my whole phone in iTunes but need to know how to extract the data and load it to my new desktop since it will be a bit before I can afford a new phone.

    I accidentally ran my iPhone over and can't afford another one for a few weeks. Until then I need to find a way to extract the data from my last backup in itunes. I can either put it on my computer or I've set up a cloud account that I was hoping could open it. So far I haven't had any luck with either. if anyone can help me out. I would love to get my pictures/videos, messages and contacts off there. The rest I don't care so much about. If someone could let me know if this is possible I would apprciate it!

    Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

  • I have a download of Social Monkee, but need to know how to add this plugin to Firefox.

    Download the plug in from Social Monkee's site but not sure how to load since it is not part of the Firefox listing.

    ''The information is this post is not applicable to Firefox 29 and newer. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1041446#answer-677749]''
    This all changed in Firefox 29...
    Previously, I think the custom toolbars were added in the localstore.rdf file. It's sort of a nightmare to edit by hand, but if having those on the menu really annoys you, I'm not sure there is a good alternative.
    To locate the file, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing your currently active Firefox settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then right-click > Copy the '''localstore.rdf''' file and right-click > Paste somewhere like your My Documents folder so you have a backup copy "just in case".
    The rdf file is plain text, but is hard to read in Notepad. Ideally you would have some programs that color-codes XML files. Not sure what is best for Windows XP. Anyway, you would be looking for lines similar to the following:
    <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#'''spacer'''" ... />
    The exact contents of the tag would depend on whether there were any controls on the bar, etc. I don't think I have any examples in my own localstore.rdf file.
    I think it's fairly safe to delete the unwanted bars from localstore.rdf, but you might wait for another volunteer to chime in.

  • Thinking of purchasing Time Capsule but need to know a few things

    I currently have the Airport Extreme (no time capsule yet) and share the internet with a roommate. Each of one us has a mac and we are currently we each backup our files to an external hard drive manually - it's a pain I know....So now I'm looking at Tim Capsule. I like the idea that the backups happen automatically, incrementally, and best of all "wirelessly". Since we are two individuals who have personal files, I don't want no one but me viewing my own backups and same goes for my roommate. Do we get two Time Capsules? If so, how do we share one single internet line? If only one Time Capsule, how do we both backup our own files to one Time Capsule and does the other user have access to my files? Please help and advice, we would totally appreciate your feedbacks.
    Thanks!

    For backups, Time Machine will create a separate backup for each of your computers. You each can only access the backups from your instance of Time Machine on your computer.
    For Internet, the Time Capsule is really no different from your current AirPort Extreme ... both of you can access the Internet simultaneously.
    For using the Time Capsule as NAS device to store files outside of backups, you can establish three types of file access: 1) With Base Station password, 2) With Disk password, 3) With Accounts. Based on both your requirements, the last type would best serve those requirements.

  • I'm considering buying CC but need to know does it allow me to store photos taken while on location via a laptop and then once I am back home retrieve them in my pc through CC, thus enabling me to keep memory cards empty at the end of each day shooting?

    This would be the main reason for purchasing CC but I can't seem to find the info to answer my question if anyone can help?

    You can place photos in the Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer and they will be synced up to the file storage. You can try a free trial with 2 GB of file storage to see if the system works for you before purchasing.
