At least there's a book on this now
A guy named Alexis Van Hurkman has written an ebook (it could later be published as a real book if enough of us request it of PeachPit Press):
Adobe SpeedGrade: Getting Started, 1/e [Kindle Edition]
You have to read it on a Kindle or download the free Kindle Reader app for whatever OS you're using, so its helpful to have another computer or a second or third monitor to read whilst either doing the exercises which you can download once you've bought the book (go to the back of the book to find the download info), or continue working on your SpeedGrade project while reading the bits of the book that help you do whatever you're doing.
Which is how I"m doing it. And I guess "learning by mistake" is one way to remember stuff, but it sure can be frustrating.
For example...I posted this in the Premiere Pro forum because I initially couldn't find this forum:
I have a long sequence which I now want to grade. I didn't grade the individual clips prior to editing them into a 70 minute timeline. I have tried the following without success:
1. Exporting to SpeedGrade the Premiere timeline: it will do this, but leaves chunks of clips brown, which indicates loss of information in the SG timeline, so if I grade this, I'll have an incomplete graded file to apply back to the Premiere timeline;
2. Importing to SpeedGrade a ProRes 422 file which I then asked SG to divide into clips (the app quit after taking 40 minutes to examine the file, which it did successfully, but when I asked it to make clips, it quit)
3. Exporting from Premiere an EDL which I then apply to the QT ProRes file in SG. This is not accepted because there are certain key commands which SG won't accept, but there's no way to know how to export a "clean" EDL from PP to SG without those commands (I even went into the EDL using TextEdit to see if I could delete certain lines, but that was obviously a losing game)
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Help! I got rid of my old PC and the hard drive was destroyed. I forgot to deauthorize it in Itunes and now I can't access a lot of the songs in my library because it says too many computers have been authorized to play the music. IS there anywy I can deauthorize now, after the fact??
Deauthorize all computers
To deauthorize all your computers, follow these steps:
Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
Click your Apple ID and select Account.
Click Deauthorize All.
NOTE: Apple limits the Deauthorize All option to once every 12 months. -

When i try to print a photo: select photo>file>print a box comes up stating 'no available themes' ' There were no themes located. Until at least 1 theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable'. Mac OS X/10.8.3, iPhoto 9.4.3, HP printer driver up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks.
YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
I was un able to install my Adobe suite 5 web premium, but it will not install my updates, (There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later) have done that have unistalled and reinstalled at least 5 times
Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion. -
There was a problem downloading this book.
I just bought a book, and 4 free classics, and none of them will download. The blue bars fill up on all of them, but then the "There was a problem downloading this book" dialog comes up, and gives me the option of retrying now or later. I tried redownloading them, but this also creates an error dialog. Is there a way to clear out the half downloaded books and try again?
There is basically only one solution- to contact iTunes via the iTunes Store and then you can tell them that there was an error downloading the books and then they can send you a different copy to your computer. Here is how you do this:
-Open iTunes
-Go into the iTunes Store
-Click on your account on the top right corner and sign in
-Click on 'Purchase History'
-Scroll to the bottom and press 'Report a Problem'
-Click on the purchase date
-Select the item(s) you were having a problem with
-Tell Apple about the problem.
Believe me, I know that it is a pain. The same thing has happened to me before, however Apple responds pretty quick and they are very good about resolving the issue. -
I have bought a Macbook Pro Retina, and the iPhoto which comes with it, has a different iPhoto Book menu. I cannot see how to put text at the bottom of the pages of photographs, instead of the default place in the middle. Is there a way to do this?
There are different templates for iPhoto books and they differ from version of iPhoto to iPhoto, so explore the other options.

Can't print a photo. When I select print it comes up with the error message "No available themes" There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. ugh. Uploaded latest update but it still doesn't work. Was going to try and load the software again but can't find the source as a download.

I have an ebook in ITunes that is showing up under Music>more>Genres>Audiobooks, and I would like for it to go in the IBook app. I just added to my phone, is there a way to add this book to that app.?

Audiobooks go in Music, not ibooks. Is the book you are talking about not an audiobook but an .epub or some other format where you read text? -
After years of no problems I sddenly can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable. What are themes? How do I install them? Why has this problem suddenly arisen?
Re-installing does not affect your Library in any way. You don't delete it, only the app.

I have been using IPhoto for three years. Now I cannot print a photo because I get this message: "There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
You need to reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
or from the /private/var/db/receipts folder (10.7 or later)
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.
