A massive THANK YOU

I just wanted to say a massive and warm THANK YOU to everyone in this forum for all the help they gave me when I came along and posted some very desperate questions. Some very strange questions. And some incredibly, horrendously stupid questions.
Thanks to everyones help I have just completed and delivered my first project.
And as it was my first project using FCP5, and my first Apple computer since using one 6 years ago whilst studying, and the fact that I really am not in the slightest bit I.T. literate - I truly would have struggled without the help and answers from you Folk.
My aims now are to finish my Apple Pro Cert training in FCP5 and DVD SP4. And to learn all the techincal language needed to understand my new computer and the software I have.
Alas, I have this feeling that I'll be back here posting questions again very soon - only this time I'm hoping that they won't be a silly and trivial as some of my previous questions.
Again, my warmest and most sincerest thanks.

Alps,
What a gracious note. Well done.
One more piece of unsolicited advice: If they want the masters, don't hand them over until the check has cleared the bank.
cheers,

  • Thank You Adobe for Fixing Bridge

    Wow, that was a very long. painful and frustrating wait to get a version of Bridge that works again. Bridge CS3 was the worst piece of Adobe software that I have used since 94 or 95, Bridge CS4 now actually works again, hooray! Thank you Adobe!
    mark

    >Don't be absurd, Omke. It's not a free fix for CS3 users. Bridge 2.x was horribly broken and it should have been fixed for free, period.
    Well Ramón, I put a smiley in that post...
    But serious, I also (as you have done before) have written many times that Bridge was a free application that came with PSCS. Personal I did not have that horrible experience with it that you had. Yes, there were troubles every now and then but I solved them with the cache, plist and refresh method I often described.
    I do suspect that the fact that I work on an intel Mac has also something to do with that. However, my experience with Bridge 3 is very positive and a massive improvement compared to Bridge 2.
    Yes it would be nice if there had been an update but they have chosen to put al their effort in a new Bridge with some very nice improvements added to the interface (pathbar and better visible menu's to mention a view) and a much better (but not the best) cache management.
    Together with Leopard 10.5.5 and CS4 I fully agree with Ann. The improvement of Bridge is (although it comes again for free with PS... :-) ) alone reason enough to upgrade.
    kind regards

  • THANK YOU - b-noir, dmitry, &c.  Got it working so far...

    First off an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to everyone who's been suggesting fixes for the problems with iTunes 5..... not least Dmitry Byk and others too numerous to mention - but especially b-noir !
    b My system :
    Windows PC with XP Home Edition, Service pack 2, and all up to date via windows update. Also... Norton Internet Security (including Antivirus) 2005, and Webroot's Spy Sweeper aswell...all sitting behind a firewall router.
    b My Symptoms :
    Happily clicked on the option to upgrade to iTunes5 after experiencing no trouble at all to date....
    When I tried to install iTunes, at the end of the install process, the whole system locked solid....no Ctrl Alt Del, nothing ! Had to push the reset switch. Once re-set, the PC re-booted but had disabled my Active Desktop. Everything worked OK in this state, except when I tried to launch iTunes from the desktop when the computer would lock solid with the 'hourglass' next to the cursor - and only a punch of the re-set switch would re-boot it (...and on one occasion I tried leaving it for a couple of hours to see if it managed to 'unlock' itself before resorting to this !) No blue screens of doom, and no error messages - just a total 'lock-up' !
    NB !!! I also suspect that I had not shut down my Norton 2005 while installing iTunes.
    b OK...the fix so far..with HUGE THANKS to those mentioned above.
    First I made a backup of my 'My iTunes' folder to ensure a copy of my files (should have done that ages ago !
    Then removing iTunes was a problem - since it did not appear in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs list !
    Cue a load of dredging around the threads....
    First I followed the advice on the Apple Support page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    I followed every step to clean the machine BUT did NOT try and install iTunes after every step. I just kept cleaning out the old stuff. I did the download of the windows cleanup utility....which found an iTunes entry even though it did not appear in control panel's add/remove programs.
    I now followed Dmitry Byk's steps 1 and 2 here : Dmitry Byk, "Success! All fixes together in one thread...step-by-step...", 12:19am Sep 11, 2005 CDT
    BUT at this stage did NOT start installing Quicktime, Bonjour and iTunes.
    I did download the standalone programs from his links in step 3 & 4 and saved them to a folder ready for use later. Latest iTunes was downloaded from the main Apple link.
    Then I followed someone else's advice on clearing out hidden iTunes/Quicktime folders hidden in Application Data folders, and also the Quicktime/iTunes folders in Program Files.... The step-by-step for this was found on a thread but the name and location I have lost and can't find again. IF ANYONE RECOGNISES THIS BIT PLEASE POST A LINK. The posting took you step by step through revealing the hidden folders and working through the various locations where iTunes & Quicktime leave remnants of folders. I can't remember the name of the person who put it up... although maybe b-noir pointed someone to it on another thread which I followed ?!
    Once I'd finished all the delting... i switched off my pC, left it a while and then came back to start installing.....
    ### ii Before Installing I disconnected from the internet, and then disabled Norton Internet Security and Norton Antivirus by right clicking on the system tray (bottom right of the screen) icon and disbling protection until the next re-start.
    i I also totally shut down my Spy Sweeper software, and then for good measure closed all the other programs with icons in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.###
    Next I installed the freshly downloaded Quicktime and just accepted the file associations at the end of the set-up procedure.
    Next I re-booted the computer, and then went through all my 'shut downs' in the paragraph marked ### above.
    Next step was to install Bonjour just like Dmitry Byk tells you in his posting (see link above).
    Re-boot the computer, and do all the ##

    hang on.... here's the rest !.......
    ...Re-boot the computer and do all the ### paragraph shut-downs again.
    Next I installed iTunes from the setup program freshly downloaded from Apple. I unchecked the 'search for music' options and allowed the 'organise my music' option, and once the install had finished the computer seemed to be working fine.
    Next I opened up Norton Internet Security and went to Status & Settings, Personal Firewall, Configure, and under the Programs tab ensure that the entried for iTunes and Bonjour were set to Permit All in the Internet Access column.
    Now I closed everything and re-booted....
    Once I'd done this I made sure that Norton Internet Security & A/Virus protections were running, reconnected to the internet and double clicked on my shiny new iTunes icon on the desktop......
    AND IT WORKED OK with full access to the Music Store and all my music listed correctly.
    That's the story so far.... My next steps are to do all my ### para shut-downs and install the latest iPod Updater Software as downloaded from Apple (did I mention that I cleared out all of those entries in Control Panel (Add/Remove programs) before starting the installs aswell ?!)
    Once that's done I'll plug in my iPod and try a synch to check all's well...... I was lucky that the total 'lock-up' I was experiencing meant I couldn't even try to synch my iPod and so still had the use of it's music trouble free while I dredged around trying to fix iTunes.
    I'll let you know if this works OK.....
    Now some of the technically minded of you will be able to point out that some of the above steps might not be necessary, but hey - it worked for me and so i thought it was worth sharing in case someone else out there has the same crashing.
    b A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to b-noir and Dmitry Byk in particular. Nothing I've written above is my own clever computer insiight - but a collection of the work done by the good people who post replies with assistance.
    b Moreover - people like b-noir deserve a shiny new Mac System from Apple as a thank you for their tireless efforts to help people out. They are doing some serious corporate-reputation-recovery in their own time and deserve more of a reward than just our simple texted 'thank you's.....
    b ii THANKS to all of you who have suggested fixes - it's greatly appreciated by simpletons like me !!!
    Cheers, Taffmaster

    It appears as if my startup disk has been reversed and not using the fusion ssd portion as it should.  At least its now reversed as to what it used to be originally before.  the 128gb ssd used to be on top.  Is my mac booting fusion correctly?  Thank you for responding as I was about to reformat.

  • I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have.  Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording?  If so, how?  Step by step needed.  Thank you for your time.

    Did you remove Quicktime X?
    On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
    You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
    I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

    hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and, when trying to open a program which I previously was able to, still get the following message:

    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    Seems unbelievable that I previously had no problem and now I do. Have you any suggestions to overcome this? Do you think I can go back further in Firefox history to get a version that will make it possible to access this. Many thanks! Lynn

    Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
    There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
    If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
    Run Rember first... call back with results.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi there,
    Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
