A Really Odd Problem

I am posting this on the Final Cut Pro forum because the Final Cut Express seems to be shut down, and I am REALLY desperate.
I run Final Cut Express on my iMac 24 with OSX 10.5.6.
I'm putting together a short production right now, and everything appears to be working just fine in Final Cut.
However, I have a studio monitor hooked up from my Firewire output of the Mac via a Canopus ADVC110 digital to analog converter. What's strange is this: I can see the output of the timeline to the NTSC monitor, as long as the cursor is standing still. But it will not play in real time. If I move the cursor, it immediately shows the frame where the cursor is parked, but it will just not show motion video! The timeline plays just fine on the canvas of Final Cut in real time.
This seems so strange. Can anybody help me with this? I'm up against a deadline. I think the video will be OK, but if it doesn't play properly out of the firewire output, do I have a major problem?
Thanks in advance.

Really odd problem with WD2002FAEX in MacPro 5,1 mid 2010

Hi all,
Please help.
Current configuration:
Mac Pro 5,1 mid 2010
16GB (4X4GB) memory
Both optical drive bays loaded one Superdrive, one LG Blu-ray burner
One external NewerTech Guardian MAXimus connected FW800
All 4 internal drive bays filled with Western Digital 2TB WD20EARS
Bay 1 - boot
Bay 2 - time machine backup
Bay 3 - itunes
Bay 4 - time machine backup
Problem: initially interested in replacing iTunes drive and boot drive. SATA II drives look to be going the way of the dinosaur. They are starting to get a bit hard to find. Every site seems to state the SATA III drives are backward compatible to SATA II. ok. Here's the problem: When I swap the drive in Bay 3 with the new WD2002FAEX drive, on spin-up I lose my USB ports and Airport card. All communication stops. Thinking it was the drive, I returned it to Newegg. Purchased same drive at OWC. Installed drive, same result. Thinking it was Bay 3, I used another. Same result. Thinking it was the model of drive, I purchased a Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001. Put drive in Bay 3, same problem. I retained the original drive that came with Mac Pro, Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS, put it in, works OK. I'm thinking it's SATA III, but I've searched all over, and I can't find anyone else who has had this problem. Each time I take the SATA III drives out, my USB ports and Airport card return to normal like nothing happened. Also, when I have the SATA III drives in, it seems to take longer to boot up.
Any ideas?

I have found tones of documentation that stays that it indeed compatible, so...
So ignore the Apple support people.
They make loads of mistakes regarding compatibility and are likely the last people that you should ask.
Also, when Apple discontinues a product, or, release a new product, they don't always list compatibility of older parts with newer machines. Also, they don't test the parts, so they don't say that the parts are compatible with new machines.
Users know best..... so does Nvidia. Under Drivers and Downloads:
Mac Pro Requirements: >>To find out if you are running the correct Mac Pro, go to About This Mac to find out what system you are running. You can find this by doing the following:
Go to • About This Mac
Click on the • More Info button
Select • Hardware
The model identifier should be MacPro3,1 or MacPro4,1 (2008 or 2009) or later
Note: MacPro1,1 and MacPro2,1 are not compatible.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_4800_for_mac_us.html
That would make the MacPro 5,1 compatible with the Quadro 4800 FX......
Ignore Apple support.

Odd problems with reading DVD media [concluded]

There is an odd problem I've encountered...(I'm not sure if its a bug with Arch Linux or Linux in general).
Firstly, the details:
* I've updated the systems (using "extra", "current", and "community" respositories). So its the current one (0.80 "Voodoo"). I'm NOT using "Unstable" respository.
* I've already added the user to the "optical" and "storage" groups. So there's no problems in relations to permissions.
* My fstab entries for the CD and DVD drives are default (I didn't touch them)...That is, "iso9660" and "udf" respectively.
* My desktop environment is KDE 3.5.5...And I have changed the behaviour of the desktop icons such that DVD media, CD media, and USB devices will have an icon pop-up as soon as you plug them in.
* I have "hal" loaded in the DAEMONS of /etc/rc.conf
* I'm using 4 different Linux systems with the following DVD burners.
=> Pioneer DVR-108
=> Sony DW-Q120A
=> Hitachi-LG GCC-4240N (DVD-ROM/CD-burner combo)
* There are three Sempron 2800+ (Socket 754, 1.6Ghz) boxes and the last one is on an IBM R40 ThinkPad, and I know you can't read DVD-R media on that. But it should be able to read DVD+R media without issue.
* Two of the Semprons are running Arch, as well as the ThinkPad. The final Sempron box is running Ubuntu 6.06.1
* When I installed K3b I did: pacman -S k3b dvd+rw-tools
* All the DVD media is Verbatim DataLifePlus ones.
Here's what I've done...
I've burnt two DVD media (they're just video files from last year's Blender 2006 conference thing, so its legal stuff).
One is a DVD+R and the other is DVD-R media. Both were done on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 box using Nero 6.6.1.4
What's the problem?
Well, KDE in the Arch Linux boxes doesn't recognise the media!...There is no DVD icon that automatically pops up on any of the Arch Linux boxes!
When I run dmesg on the Arch boxes, the only relevant info I get is:
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISOFS: changing to secondary root
Now if I re-insert these DVD media onto an Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS box...The DVD+R works perfectly! While the DVD-R does not.
When I run dmesg on this box, I get the following:

If I re-burn the data onto a DVD+RW, Arch and Ubuntu immediately sees it, and KDE (or Gnome in Ubuntu), will have a DVD icon popping up! I can view the video clips without issue!
Now here's the really odd part...
When I load up K3b on either Arch OR Ubuntu, they recognise all DVD media! (As in, they can read the media disc information!)...Tools => DiskInfo
If I click on the PIONEER - DVD-RW DVR-108 on the tree menu on the left side in K3b, (to view the contents of the DVD-R or DVD+R media), it can't read and pops up an error message informing about a read problem. It suggests I try dmesg|tail to see what's wrong.
When I do that, I get...
# dmesg|tail
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc

I repeat the same procedure on DVD+RW, and it works perfectly!
Should I use another burning application instead of Nero on the Windows box?
Could it be the way I burn things?
(Some DVD+R and DVD-R are burnt with multisession while others aren't.)
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
What are your "workarounds" or fixes?

It *should* work...But they don't.
I tried this...
mount -t auto /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
I get this...
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I then do dmesg|tail
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
If I try this...
mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
I get this...
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I then do dmesg|tail
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
If I stick in a DVD-R that is burnt in one go without multisession, I get this in the dmesg
UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'SW', timestamp 2006/11/07 19:37 (1000)
It reads this disc perfectly and KDE pops up a DVD icon.
I'm scratching my head as I'm not sure what is the problem.
Could it be hal or the way the DVD media was formatted?

Really odd First Launch issues

Hello All,
I am having som really, really odd issues with my PowerMac G4...
Everytime I start-up from a cold boot (I turn it off during the night...) I return in the morning, and it can't see my network!
I usually just restart again, and everything is fine.... but last friday, I had to fight with it for close to an hour to get it back working.
No patches have been applied, no setting have been changed, it's on a APC UPS system.. it is just used as a workstation...(graphical work)
It is running 10.3.9... (and has been since it was available, this issue has been going on for about a month now)
Any clues to this slightly aggrivating problem?
I don't really want to get a new Desktop until a Commercial MacIntel machine is available.
Thanks!!!

Hi Gabriel!
Why turn it off? Leave it on all night since OS X runs maintenence on the computer during the night. This could be part of problem . I would also suggest booting up from the install disk and running disk utility from it and repairing permissions.
Also, is it possible your APC UPS system is getting turned off at night too? Perhaps the battery is going bad and just needs replacing?
Good Luck!

Odd problems exporting videos: dropped frames, end glitches

Having some strange things happening on the work computer (which is a pre-intel MacPro running Leopard and latest version of FCP). In the last couple of weeks we've been having a lot of files that we're trying to export (by either directly playing them or "Print to Video" via Firewire to a Sony DV/Cam deck, which in turn passes it through to a Beta machine). The videos have been freezing up or giving "Dropped Frame" error messages. To combat the problem I've exported the videos (usually 10 minutes in length) to Quicktime Movie file, and then ran that file (thus making it one big file instead of 40 or so cuts/insertions, etc).
Dropped Frames ceased to be a problem, and it plays smoothly...but now when we get to the end, we get a weird white glitch. Figured it might want a fade out to smooth out the end of the file (even though it already had a fade out) but now the file is freezing up right before it gets to the fade out.
The really odd thing is, it looks and acts fine when I play from 5 seconds or so before the end of the clip. It's only playing it in its entirety that the end acts up.
I'm at my wit's end figuring out options. I've rebuilt permissions, restarted the computer, done a disc utility diagnostic/repair disc. I've deleted the preferences for FCP.
Open to any suggestions!
Thanks

No, I'm not using assembly mode.
The really odd and frustrating thing is that haven't done anything different that I haven't done with hundreds of similar projects. But all of a sudden things are happening (mentioned the dropped frames problem in case it is linked. Increasingly I've been having projects stop printing/playing due to dropped frames with no consistent possible reason, in terms of materials used, transitions, hard drive, etc.). No change of equipment or software (other than updates).
My boss complained about the white 'glitch' happening a couple months or so ago, and thought it was due to forgetting to do a fade-out at the end, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

An odd problem importing footage...ideas please!!

I'm having an odd problem with iMovie that has me stumped so far. I'm currently using a borrowed DVcamcorder to import my footage. So far I can only import footage that was taped using that exact camcorder. I have other footage, (also miniDV format) that was created on a different camera, and it won't import properly. It comes out very jumpy, almost as if the frame rate is off or it's not scanning the fields properly, playing only every other one. The camera also gives me a "clean heads" message that only appears when I try to use the "foreign" video. The heads don't need cleaning, and I've checked the frame rate. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm lost so far!!
I'm using an iMac G5, with iMovie HD.
Thank-you!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
It may be that the "foreign" tape (..i.e; not recorded in that camcorder you're using..) was recorded at LP (Long Play) - a slow tape speed - or even slower than LP.
This makes recordings on extremely narrow video tracks (..because the tape hardly moves forwards while the spinning recording head turns round..) which may not quite co-incide with the exact head position of another camcorder ..i.e; the tolerance is too fine to match properly.
Most manufacturers mention this ..in very obscure language.. in their camcorder manuals, saying that LP tapes from other camcorders might not play properly, or tapes recorded in LP mode might not play in other camcorders.
Most (all?) Sony DV camcorders will play back footage recorded faster than normal, on 'professional' 'DVCAM' recorders. These tapes move faster through the camera than ordinary DV, so they produce a wider track which is less likely to cause signal 'drop-out' failure. I don't know if other makes of camcorder can play back DVCAM material.
If the "foreign" tapes were shot at DVCAM speed (..e.g; on a Sony PDX10 camcorder, or similar), then although they should play back in other, normal 'domestic' Sony cams, they might not play back in another make of camcorder. Could these be DVCAM tapes?
Finally, it might also be that the "foreign" tape really is a Foreign tape: i.e; the recording was made to a different standard. So if it's an American-recorded (NTSC) tape and it's played in a UK (PAL TV system) camcorder, the frame-rate will be wrong, the number of scan-lines will be wrong, the colour info will be wrong, etc. [..But as you mention "fields", you probably know enough not to have made that mistake.]
NOTE: Ooops, sorry, Karl: we must have both been typing at the same time ..didn't mean to step on your toes.

FIXED! K8N Plat. SLI: Odd problem Did Reformat Now Won't Post...:/

Heeeellloo MSI community! After all the madness I went through; I followed up on wevsspot's link (see his post) & read the bejeebus outta this thread here.
NOTE: The above link is for all NForce 3/4 Mobo owners w/ RAID problems attempting a reformat/upgrade using Window's XP and then suffering an UNENDING cycle of "quick-flash BSOD + auto reboot" assualts...!
In brief, the solution is:
1) Make a slip-streamed OS CD w/ Nvidia's Nforce 6.70 RAID drivers (or latest version) integrated using Nlite. (not sure about Autostreamer...)
-1) But before that, you must have the latest Bios flashed or these "new" Nvidia drivers won't be recognized during OS installation!
The link above is VERY informative & I would not be here yapping about if it wasn't for the sleuthing abilities of one wevsspot!
Cheers to Indigian & all who've taken the time to post!
Evening all. I usually don't come for help but I feel I've earned a second opinion after working on my PC for 3 days. After all I've done, this issue is really beginning to worry me. On Friday I was playing some SP BF2 and then my PC suddenly restarted. So I started up again & shut down normally and then I fired up CS: Source, after a few maps, another restart.
Hmm, then I uninstalled Nvidia's current graphics drivers and installed the previous version. Tried CS, same outcome. Well, I have reformated my PC before w/ success so I figured "its been several months" & now this issue surfaces so why not?
Well, I backed up and dived in. Had my original MSI Raid driver floppy ready but there was an error so I followed MSI's directions here & loaded up a new floppy and things went fine (I tried both versions- the version at that link & the most current Raid driver version, 5.53 via Nvidia's site. However, for both versions, the file "nvatabus.inf" in which MSI claims to be there is no where to be found). Now fasy-forward to the 1st Window's loading screen (loading bars...) after OS installation, I see a BSOD flash and then restart, and restart, etc...
Facts & POE attempts in no particular order:
-My Bios is the original, 3.1. Apart from the problems I've read here, I have never upgraded it being that I've never really had to.
-I've noticed that rite after OS installation, where I see my status of my Raid config., the version is still 4.81... & then, the damn restarting begins...
-I have tried switching serial ports from 3 & 4 to 1 & 2. Also disabling the unused ports in the Bios after switching. As I switched ports for the 1st time, I even deleted my Raid config. and built a new one.
-I have tried unpluging my pata cables, unpluging my USB devices, & unseating my memory as mentioned in a several threads I read here about seeing a BSOD just before Windows loads.
-Whenever I reformated, I had to remove one of my BFG cards and thus "flipping" over the SLI chip on the mobo. I learned that XP wouldn't load my SLI rig on its 1st run...
-I tried installing XP originally w/ SP1 or slipstreamed w/ SP2, no go.
-Inbetween these hairpulling attemps @ process of elimation, I tried just one of my Maxtors w/ no floppy help and it WORKED. So that points me to this being a Raid issue.
I apologise for the wall of text. I think I have tried all avenues to getting this odd problem fixed. Any advice or instructions would be great. Thanks for reading.

Cowbell,
During your chipset drivers update (or even possibly during the Windows OS install routine itself) you may have corrupted your original Raid Array. My suggestion would be to enter your Raid Setup Bios and delete the existing array the build one from scratch. If you have another computer, extract the RAID drivers from the original MSI setup CD that came with your motherboard and put them on a floppy. Or if you so choose you could use the RAID drivers from a later chipset driver pack. I'll leave that up to you. After you rebuild your RAID array, turn off computer, turn off power supply, remove power cord from power supply,remove m/b battery and move CMOS jumper pin to the clear position. Leave it like that for at least 10 minutes. Move CMOS jumper back to save position. Reinstall motherboard battery and connect power back to your power supply. Reboot and enter BIOS again. Re-enable the SATA or IDE ports you are using for your array, enable RAID in the BIOS. Exit, reboot and enter RAID Bios setup again, make sure your RAID array is present and make sure it is set as a bootable ARRAY. If everything looks good, reboot once more and enter BIOS. Make sure your RAID array is showing as a bootable device. Do the normal stuff such as making sure your optical drive is set as the first boot device etc.
Save, exit. If all goes well you will be prompted to press F6 to install 3rd party RAID drivers upon the initial Windows OS installation routine.
Good luck.

Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

It should not be a problem, as long as you are careful. Note the delete settings option when uninstalling firefox will delete bookmarks etc for ALL installed versions of firefox.
Firefox attempts to retain the profile information, that include bookmarks etc when updating. It may still be prudent to consider other backup methods not entirely dependent on firefox.
The firefox 4 beta will install by default in a slightly different location, you are then able to run either the current or the beta version of firefox. It is recommended you set up a new profile for the new version of firefox. see

An odd problem

not really a problem but more a puzzle.
Why, when on our I am looking up the weather on http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast in my partition am I not able to access the 5 day forecast, whereas my partner in her partition using exactly the same address when opened in her address bar is able to get the 5 day forecast?

Thank you ROAM for your explanation.
OK - well it seems that there is a slight misunderstanding.
The fact is that the link http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast does work. However the puzzle is that on my computer it works differently in different places.
When the link is opened from my partner's address bar, it allows among other things, the option of a 5 day forecast tab, which when selected opens without any problem. When the same link is opened on my address bar, and the same 5 day forecast tab is selected, it results in the tab flashing but not opening.
As I have said this is not really a problem but it is a bit of a puzzle, and I wondered what the reason for this difference might be.

Really Odd Crash

There's a really odd bug / crash that happens under these very specific circumstances. Unfortunately I can't upload an FLA here, so I've provided a download link from a 3rd party site. If you don't feel comfortable with that, I've listed the steps to recreate the error below.
(Note: Don't click the giant download buttons, click where it says "Save file to your PC: click here")
http://www.2shared.com/file/qJWkGney/PrivateVideoChat.html
http://www.2shared.com/file/M5tNwwRL/PrivateVideoChatExample.html
If you don't feel comfortable with that, here's a description on how to recreate the error:
1. Create a new AS3 FLA
2. Under AS3 Settings -> Library Path, import the flash only player 10 AFCSFlash.swc
3. Import rpc.swc from the FLEX sdk into the library path
4. Create a movie clip and put text object in it. Don't put it on the stage -- leave it in the library.
And then to make it work with the document class...
5. Add a Button component and name the instance connectButton
6. Add a TextInput component and name the instance connectSessionID
7. Add another TextInput component and name the instance myCSessionID
8. Create the document class and link it to the FLA
9. Add your developer credentials (where the constants are defined)
The document class is this:
package {
    import com.adobe.rtc.authentication.AdobeHSAuthenticator;
    import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioPublisher;
    import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioSubscriber;

        protected var _cSession:ConnectSession = new ConnectSession();
        protected var _webcamPublisher:WebcamPublisher = new WebcamPublisher();
        protected var _localWebcamSubscriber:WebcamSubscriber = new WebcamSubscriber();
        protected var _audioPublisher:AudioPublisher = new AudioPublisher();
        protected var _audioSubscriber:AudioSubscriber;
        public var connectButton:Button;
        public var connectSessionID:TextInput;
        public var myCSessionID:TextInput;
        public function PrivateVideoChatExample() {
            var authenticator = new AdobeHSAuthenticator();
            authenticator.userName = this.USERNAME;
            authenticator.password = this.PASSWORD;
            this._cSession.roomURL = this.ROOM_URL;
            this._cSession.authenticator = authenticator;
            this._cSession.login();
            this._cSession.addEventListener(SessionEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, this.onLogin);
            this.connectButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.connectTo);
        protected function connectTo(event:MouseEvent) {
            if(this._cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(this.connectSessionID.text)) {
                this.createNewPrivateChat(this.connectSessionID.text);
        public function onLogin(event:SessionEvent):void {
            this.myCSessionID.text = this._cSession.userManager.myUserID;
            this._audioPublisher.publish();
            this._webcamPublisher.publish();
            this._localWebcamSubscriber.subscribe();
        public function createNewPrivateChat(userID:String) {
            this._audioSubscriber = new AudioSubscriber();
            trace("Hasn't crashed yet....!");
            this._audioSubscriber.subscribe();
            this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);
            trace("Aaaaannnndddd...boom.");
You'll notice if you do any of the following it'll work fine:
1. Replace the player 10 AFCSFlash.swc with the player 9 AFCSFlash.swc in the library path
2. Remove the rpc.swc from the library path
3. Remove the MovieClip with the text object in it
4. Comment out the line "this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);"
Edit: Oh yeah, and to use the application you copy your session ID (from the myCSessionID TextInput) and paste it into the the connectSessionID TextInput in another instance of the swf file (or into the same one -- you get the same results).
I was able to replicate this on another computer using the files above, so I don't think it's my environment that's causing the error.
I have this version of Flash installed: 10,1,53,64

All,
This looks like a bug with Flash player debug plugin.
Please download the Flash player latest version of debug
plugin 9.0.115
from the location
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
The link should show - 12/3/2007 - Update Linux Debugger
versions (aka
debug players or content debuggers)... Download the linux
debugger and
standalone players.
You dont need standalone player though it comes bundled
together. After
you untar the folder you will see /plugin/ directory which
contains
libflashplayer.so
copy this to your $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ directory... for
root users it
is /usr/lib/firefox* ...
Relaunch the browser and confirm if you are running Debug
version of FP
- by visiting this URL

An odd problem when error handling

hi experts
I encountered a very odd problem when trying to show up an error message... and hope someone can help me out.
I defined a standard action in the view, and wrote some lines of code to check the input data in the predefined methodWDDOBEFOREACTIONwhich will call a method from component controller, and that method will call message_mananger->report_t100_message to show up an E type message if any error happened. But the problem is the program does not stop there but go into the action handler(ONACTIONACT_XXX).
I think it should actually stop and show up the message rather than get into the action handler because of the action is standar...
can anyone help?
many tkx

hi,
i went through your code.....the code is fine but as you told that it goes to the exception handler after coming to the message part ...this is because you are using
CALL METHOD LO_MESSAGE_MANAGER->REPORT_T100_MESSAGE
EXPORTING
    MSGID                     =
    MSGNO                     =
    MSGTY                     =
   P1                        =
   P2                        =
   P3                        =
   P4                        =
   MSG_USER_DATA             =
   IS_PERMANENT              = ABAP_FALSE
   SCOPE_PERMANENT_MSG       = CO_MSG_SCOPE_CONTROLLER
   VIEW                      =
   SHOW_AS_POPUP             =
   CONTROLLER_PERMANENT_MSG =
   MSG_INDEX                 =
   CANCEL_NAVIGATION         =
   ENABLE_MESSAGE_NAVIGATION =
RECEIVING
    MESSAGE_ID                =
this function will simply report that message but will not hold the control to the same screen..
so use
CALL METHOD LO_MESSAGE_MANAGER->REPORT_FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE......
and tell me whether it solved the problem or not....
@ sarbjeet i think that Raise_T100_error is an obselete function...rite?
thanks and regards,

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Connecting via Airport express: really annoying problem

I've got a really annoying problem that doesn't make much sense. Have an airport express and my network seems to work OK mostly. My iBook can always connect, never any problem. My eMac however is behaving bizzarely. The longer I'm connected, the worse my connection gets. Until it stops working altogether and I can't access the internet at all. System preferences tells me the Airport card is on, but is not connected to a network. Can still connect to it with the iBook.
Shut down, leave it a good while (a good while too, a short shut down doesn't do it), and it works again.
I can't even think where to start looking, all I can think of is that I have a problem with the Airport card in the eMac (something getting hot in there perhaps). Any ideas?

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure the card is seated properly (it works most of the time after all). I couldn't get it to work when I installed it because it wasn't seated properly, I pushed it in as far as it could possibly go and it has worked since (except after extended periods of use). The Airport express is three feet from the eMac with only a couple of bits of wood between them. The connection does not go down at times which I can link with the use of any particular appliances (When the eMac stops working, the iBook is always fine, even in a similar position). It is the apparently time-dependent aspect that I can't figure out (I only notice it on those, fairly infrequent, occasions when I am online for a few hours at a time). The eMac discussion group is a good tip. Ta.

Really really annoying problem with slooooow Adress Book

I have a really, really annoying problem with Address Book.
Ever since I connected it with the MobileMe service it has this problem, and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried logging out and back into the MobileMe service, resetting the sync history etc., but to no avail.
Each time I open the application it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconts, then that blooming annoying, Windows reminiscent, rotating rainbow circle appears for about a minute at a time. Then it goes away and the application works..........that is until try something demanding like adding a new group or changing a group name, then it starts over. It is making the Address Book almost unusable and very un-Mac-like.
Can someone please help???

Try deleting this plist:
(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
As well, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatibl
