10.4.9 and FCP is apple going to do something about it?

Q: What is Apple saying about this mess ? It is totally not acceptable to have this two apps not working with each other when both are apple made...
D

Well my capturing was completely wrecked when recording to my internal drive. Random video drop out and audio drop out, total desyncing. In the end I capture three times, and pasted bits together to try and create a perfect unbroken sequence (which finally worked). Doing this and resyncing it all took hours, just for a 3-min video interview.
So I don't know why Apple is talking about Firewire because OSX.4.9 and FCP4.5 didn't work for me full stop.
I have since upgraded to FCP5.
I don't know if this is a possible solution, but you could try capturing with Vidi - http://www.mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php - (it's free) if you don't want to downgrade your OS and can't upgrade to FCP5. The only disadvantage is that Vidi doesn't capture FCP-ready (ie no rendering needed) .movs, but you can quickly convert its files with StreamClip to a suitable .mov format. Vidi is also great when FCP is being fussy about broken time code, and you just want to force it to take the media anyway.

  • When is apple going to do something about this recent flood of spam to .mac

    when is apple going to do something about this recent flood of spam to .mac. i have had .mac for 4 years and in the last few months im getting like 10 junk mails a day. all for worthless investment tips. i came on here to find alot of others getting the same junk mail from the same sender. so it is obviously a target to .mac addresses and not just mine. come on apple, this has been happening for a few months now and is getting worse. are you going to do anyhthing about it on the server side of things? im paying over $100 for .mac and expect a fix. anybody else with this problem please please sound off here. we need a fix for this.

    yes, i agree. over 3 years with 3 .mac addresses and this is the first time i've had any sort of a problem... and it's becoming an onslaught.
    plus, not only is the mac filter not working, my mail 2.0.5 filter is not working. can someone let me know why these are not going into my junk folder? i think i've got it set up correctly as these are ticked:
    enable junk mail filtering
    move it to the junk mailbox (automatic)
    (exempt) sender in my address book
    (exempt) message is addressed using my full name
    trust junk mail headers set by my ISP
    can anyone from mac let us know that you are aware of the current problem and are at least looking into it?

  • When is apple going to do something about the speed of iCloud. I am about to give up.

    My connection speed is fast. Gmail is immediate, but iCloud painfully slow and often inaccessible. I experience the same responsiveness on multiple machines. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the speed?

    Now that you have clarified that I did email on iCloud. For me it was the same as when I do mail using Mail.
    By the way I have my iCloud mail account connected to Mail. So I never use the Mail that is included with iCloud. My usual way is to use Mail and then select the iCloud mail account from there.

    I love AI love Apple. I own an iMac, a MacbookPro, an iPad, and an iPhone.  I’ve been a loyal Mac user since the ‘80’s.   But, please, when are you going to do something about iCal and its Reminders component?  Attaching documents is clumsy. If you’re on iCloud, as I am, repeating events is impossible.  The ability to copy text or graphics into either events or Reminders doesn’t really exist.  This is an easy fix.   Why not get it done? 

    Maybe things will improve this summer,

  • Mavericks; is Apple never going to do something about its many problems? I've about had it with Mac.

    Mavericks:
    Is Apple never going to do something about Mavericks many problems? I've about had it with Mac and when today's Mavericks update appeared, I declined.
    I updated to Mavericks 6 months ago on my new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but trouble ever since -- despite numerous trips to the Genius Bar. They all act as though It's only my machine yet I'm reading literally hundreds of similar complaints on the Internet. To start:
    1) My machine now "runs" very slow (as in 1980).
    2) Search and Spotlight yield jumbled information.
    3) MAIL and CCONTACTS are near useless with a spinning beachball the norm.
    My Apple store had my machine for 5 days with no loaner! They did a manual rebuild and shrugged their sholders when it still didn't work after all that.
    I have the distinct impression that Time Machine is at the bottom of some of my problems. I've used it to migrate data from my last three machines and I'm seeing some odd stuff from my other machines. In particular, I used an exact Macbook Pro loaned by a client after my last Mac crashed (I was backed up) and I'm seeing their grayed out login ID autoentered when I try to update Imovie and so I cannot log into my apple account.
    I've used Mac since 1995 when the first SE came out and I'm very tech oriented. I can only wonder how frustrated the lay used might be. Any thoughts out there?

    No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
    If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
    If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

    Trying to update iTunes and i get an error message saying something about "invalid signature". Help?

    " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall. It gave me the following message " The path C:\documents and settings\network service\local settings\application data\apple\apple software update\iTunes.msi cannot be found.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music

  • Computer won't start up after recent version of mountain lion.  My power Mac was running extmely slow this morning, so i shut down to restart.  As it is starting the screen goes black, says something about debugging with the word panic in parentheses. was

    I upgraded to latest version of mountain lion yesterday, this morning my power Mac was running extremely slowly (while typing, had to wait a second or two for words to appear), I shut down to see if problem would clear up.  When starting up, screen went black with programming jargon, something about debugging with the word panic in parentheses.  Screen then goes back to gray, says Mac encountered a problem and has to restart once I push a key.  Apple logo comes on gray screen, icon keeps circling and nothing happens.  This has happened three times in a row after shutting down and trying to restart.  Any thoughts?

    When verifying disk, said could not repair disk, back up as many files as possible then re format disk.  Computer now doing Internet recovery. Should I. Do the following in this order
    1 restore from back up on time machine
    2 re install osx

  • My ipod has logged me out of the game center, so I tried logging back in and it wont let me, it says something about itunes. So I looked online to try and find a solution. I eventually ended up logging out of my App Store and Itunes and now I cant log in

    So I have an 5th generation Ipod touch. I was playing games and noticed that one of them started completely over and said to log into the Game Center. I tried to but it wouldn't let me. So I let it go, but then the Game Center app just poped up whenever I was playing a game and said that I needed to go to the itunes store. I did but I didnt know what to do. So I serched online to try and fix it. In the end I logged out of my App store because it wasnt letting me download anything and I also logged out of itunes. And now it wont let me log back in to any of my stuff and none of my ipod information will download to a computer. And it says that theres an error with my accounts. So should I try resetting the ipod or create new accounts or what? Please help me.

  • T61 Fan noise- are you going to do something about this?

    Let me say upfront that my warranty has expired 7 months ago. 
    Shortly after, I noticed that the fan noise became increasingly noisy.
    This is happening to a ThinkPad? I've used a T42  for 2 years (work laptop) before this and I had no issues.
    The reason I stayed loyal with this brand because of my hassle free experience with T42 (to think that I've abused that).
    What are my options to get to a resolution?
    This T61 fan defect is consistent. There are posted solutions in one thread but I couldn't follow it and I would like to see an endorsement by Lenovo tech support that this is safe to follow. Can't you just once and for all support a resolution? 
    Having said that I've forfeited benefits of a warranty cover. Is there anything I should specify to an independent repairman?
    How much is the expected fees for this? Is this an issue of replacing a new fan? What fan model is available for 
    replacement?

  • Ok, seriously when is Apple going to help us out here?

    There seems to be more than just a few of us with the cannot start iTunes Windows error. Is Apple going to do anything about it.
    Considering the amount of money that I've spent buying music that I can only play on iTunes, this is not an insignficant problem. It represents hundreds if not thousands of my dollars.

    I agree, I'm getting tired of installing and uninstalling over and over again and nothing happens, I downloaded the new iTunes 7.0 not because I wanted to, but we are being forced to, and its not working. It was working at first right after I down loaded but the next day when I tried to open iTunes it wouldnt let me comes up with erro message like everyone else. I am very upset I dont want to loose the songs I've already purchased and the balance of the iTunes card I just redeemed, wont even let me play the files I've got of songs with other media players says it has to basically have iTunes but it wont open.
    I want this problem fixed or I want a credit for every single song that I have purchased and the remaing balance on my account.

  • When Is Apple Going to Fix Compressor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have had nothing but trouble trying to use compressore from quality issues to the dreaded can not find background process error. If finally got it to work for the fourth time after three hours waisted.
    WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO DO SOMETHING AND QUIT IGNORING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am extremly tired of waisting time trying to fix my software. I wish I would have stayed with Final Cut Four and DVD 3 and saved the money I spent on new computer and software. At least it worked!!!
    PLEASE FIX THIS SOOOOONN APPLE!!!!!!!! STOP WAISTING OUR TIME!!!!!!

    I made a post this morning titled "Petition Apple to fix Compressor" and the mods removed it. Not surprising. I think the best thing we can do is send an email directly to Steve Jobs. I have sent emails in the past and have gotten a response from the appropiate team at Apple.
    If that doesn't work, try emailing journalists like Jason O'Grady or the guys at Apple Insider. They'll probably pick up on it and make a big stink.
    Hey.. ya gotta do what you gotta do. It's not right to ignore bugs in a professional application.

  • When is Apple going to fix the problems with FCP and Leopard

    Apple,
    This is a nightmare.
    I wish I never did the upgrade.
    It's horrible that Apple released an OSX update that doesn't work with some of the most used Apple applications.
    I don't know what I should do.
    Compressor doesn't work, export using Quicktime is having problems...and that's just what I've found so far.
    When is Apple going to fix this mess?
    Hingefactor

    Did you heed ANY of the warnings that were posted here, on LAFCPUG.org, or the CreativeCow.net? We gave many pointers on what to do before you upgrade, so that if you do run into issues with the new (and you WILL run into issues with the new OS) you could always go back to the stable version.

    Apple will fix it when they fix it...that's all we can say. Keep sending in your issues and when they can, they will issue updates.
    The rule of thumb is that if you have a good working edit system, don't mess with it. The machine that I use to earn a living, that is still on 10.4.9 and FCP 5.1.4. My laptop, that I use occasionally for editing, but mainly for e-mail, word processing, web surfing, that I updated. And I am testing FCP on this. So far, I am not suffering any issues.
    If you backed up your system, you could have gone back to it.
