Alt key switching documents instead of Creating Clipping Mask - New Mac Pro 2014 - Please help
I just got a new Mac Pro, and when I use the alt/option key as a shortcut in the layers palette (to create clipping masks and duplicate layers) instead it switches to other documents that I have open. It's only after this happened that I realized how often I use the option key in my work flow and it's frustrating.
Please help,
Thanks,
Lonno
Just solved it. It had to do with my secondary monitor, which is where my layers palette was. I used this link:

and turned off all the mission control settings I don't use. Apparently it was switching monitors whenever I used the alt key.

Cannot create JAVA on new computer...please help
I have not been able to actually view anything I create with Java on my new computer. I have tried installing the latest update of Java but it didn't help. Sun Java was already installed on this computer.
I use Front Page to create web sites and have never had a problem before.
When I create a Java effect, I can see the Java Icon in normal view but as soon as I try to preview... nothing shows up.
The Java effects i created on my other computer show up on this computer...
please help ...Thank you for your response but this doesn't help.This is a forum for Programming in Java. Your question appears to be targeted at something else, Digital Video maybe? Possibly Applets? We don't know, and you aren't giving enough information to make a decent guess. If you have a Java code development-related question this would be the place to post that.
Perhaps you want a Microsoft Forum?
Good Luck

Automatically create clipping masks
Hello,
I was watching this amazing video -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebVFXphyJqw
- and I noticed, that flash has a feature, that seems to automatically create clipping masks.
She starts using these at 1:45. She draws blue paths and applies gradients to shapes that use the blue paths but also underlying art.
I haven't figured out a quick way in illustrator to do it like this. (Draw path - divide - livepaint - new fill can produce such results, but thats too complicated for quick shading...)
Also there is a feature right at the beginning, where she erases segments of circular paths. They are exactly cut at the intersection points. Of course there are scissors and snapping in AI, but that method flash seems to offer looks much more convenient.
Maybe those functions are burrowed in some side menus in AI... I mean, I have Flash CS6, but I feel much more comfortable in AI.
If you know these features, especially the auto clipping mask thing, please tell me
-AndrejWow, the draw inside mode was also new to me. So much to learn!
It's a pity that it does not create merged clipping groups when having two objects selected simultaneously upon entering drawing inside mode.
I have not figured out, how to use the shapebuilder tool with single paths yet.
But I did try out the Pathfinder's outline operation. It seems to give me the seperated strokes I demanded.
Thanks for your help again Monika.

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer? Both computers have OS X10.9.3. Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.
You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

Premeire CC 2014 not playing clips or timeline with New Mac Pro Late 2013 D700
I have used premeire cs5 and cs6 and never had this issue
I just bought a new mac pro and installed the trial of Premeire cc 2014
I import clips like normal, set my sequence and the play button does not work
in the viewer or in the timeline. Can seem to make anything work
also I am on 10.9.5 which from what I can see should be fine.Hi Ernie,
Try this: create a new user with Admin privileges and see if you can get Premiere Pro to playback video once more.
Thanks,

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?
Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen? -

When I click on my icon to open iTunes a box appears that states: The file "iTunesLibrary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Help!
Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

I have just switched from windows and bought myself a new mac mini, only had it a few weeks and already getting message not enough free space. Help, surely cant be out of space already
It sounds unlikely of course. But from your question it's hard to tell what might have filled your HDD. Are you constantly on file sharing or has filled the drive with movies?
Best way to tell is to start checking what folders occupy space. "Get Info" for the HDD and its subfolders is a way to start checking where the data in question resides.
And as BGreg say, call Apple support is also a good way to begin with. -
Captured QT on Kona Card. New Mac Pro Computer will not play the clip.
Hello everyone.
I bought the new Mac Pro 2.26 & transferred my films to it.
I no longer have the Kona Card that I captured my footage on.
The old G5 would play them without the card.
This clip just plays Black, but the size of it, 5 gigs shows.
Error message: Does not support Codec?
How do I change this file into a different codec?
Regards
BonnieHello Shane
I upgraded to FCP 7 when I bought the New Intel.
(I did not want to upgrade because of this very reason, but I could not render or export my timeline on the old G5. The HD files were too much for the little G5.)
The Kona Capture was at 10 bit RGB.
The bizarre thing is, is that all of the other clips that were captured, play.
I thought maybe the file was corrupt, so I opened my back up external drive, & it is doing the same thing.
This is why everyone tells you not to upgrade when you are in the middle of a project!
If I have to, I will rent a desktop w/a Kona Card.
Thank you for your help
Regards

New Mac Pro. Do I need to create a totally new time machine backup?
I Just upgraded from a Mac Pro 1,1 to the new Mac Pro. On my old machine I kept work files on one internal drive and photos on another which were backed up with time machine sparse bundle on my NAS. Now, since I have a Pegasus2, the contents of those drives are now kept in two separate folders on a single volume. Is it possible to have time machine continue backups on these from where it left off, or will I now have to create a new backup?
Per this:
http://pondini.org/TM/4.html
No since it says:
Yes, if it's big enough (see question #1). Time Machine keeps track of which computer is which (by a hardware identifier, not computer name), so it will always keep its backups for each Mac separate from each other.
But you may prefer to back them up to different places, or via a network. See question #33 for options, details, and cautions.
It is advisable, though, to partition an external disk that will be connected to your Macs into one volume for each Mac (see question #5 or #6 for instructions). You can't partition a Time Capsule's disk, but each Mac will have a separate sparse bundle on a Time Capsule, so it's not as big an issue. See the pink box in question #33 for details.
