Any idea why the sissor cut tool would behave differently than it has. It makes the cut several seconds in advance of my marker-now. Previously it was precise. Thx..

The sissor tool is making arbitrary cuts, in areas I have not specified. I have  used this tool alot. Has previously worked as desired.
Any idea what might be controling it to act this way?
Thank you.

    HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?

    You may have something as simple as a corrupt cache. Try resetting in Safe Mode and see if that fixes it. If not another thing to attempt is opening Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions, do this action 2-3 times.

  • Any ideas why the sound only works on about half of my apps?

    Any ideas why the sound on my ipad only works on about half of my apps?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
    if you review the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
    also the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
    you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
    Good luck.

  • Any ideas why the video camera on my imac is not working?

    Does any one have any idea why the video camera on my imac is not working? I have been using skype on my imac for some time and recently I have discovered that it wont work, could this have anything to do with the mountain lion upgrade?

    }

    ...because changing this:
    public class MoneyCollect extends JFrameto this:
    public class MoneyCollect extends JAppletdoes not create an applet. Get a beginning java book and start reading it. I recommend "Java2: A Beginner's Guide".
    Or, you can read the following tutorial to learn why your program is not an applet:

    I have no idea why it stopped working.  But why it failed does not matter.
    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

  • Any ideas why the second HOST call does not work???

    Hi Folks.
    I have written the following code which works fine in all but one respect.
    The code creates a zip file on a server (Accessed over a network) hence the full windows network path name.
    The call to host on the server works in terms of running the zipinvoices.bat file and the zip file is generated on the server in the correct location.
    The prigram unit also generates the correctly formatted mailinvoices.bat file. However, the second call to HOST does not run/execute the mailinvoices.bat file. If I go to the server and run the mailinvoices.bat file directly, it runs perfectly and emails the file to me, no problemo.
    Why does the second call to HOST from the client machine not run?
    Any clues anyone???
    Cheers

    As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
    Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I know this due the the way the date literal is used but i need to be more clearer. Please some one can explain ?
    Thanks
    G

    I am on 9.2.0.7
    The READ ONLY is an extract of the view.
    Well, i think i figured it out. I think it's due to the date format which Oracle chose..
    By writing this way, Oracle chooses the same plan.
    But my doubt still remains..
