Before I tear it up and start again....critique please
Within the last few months I have built my first iWeb site and along the way have learnt an awful lot. First up was the incompatability with IE when viewing photo's and whilst I have tried to convince myself that everyone has a Mac the reality is that most people use a pc and IE.
I have also come to the conclusion that it may just be quicker to start again and re-size / adjust my pics in PS and save as Jpegs. In addition I also feel that I have learnt some invaluable tips by looking at some of your sites so before I start from scratch could I ask you for some feedback. The idea was to build a site where I could share some of my photo's with like minded individuals. I do get asked to shoot for a fee sometimes and would ultimately like to pursue this further.
Any C&C most welcome. Thank you

The only suggestion I would have for you in terms of
streamlining your site is to make gallery index pages
for your photo pages so that you can minimize the
number of links in your navigation menu. Since each
of these links has two separate images to render,
cutting down on the number of links may make your
site load faster and look less cluttered.
Here is one approach to making photo index pages...

organized into albums in iPhoto.
Give it a shot.
This will give you one page where you can group
related photo albums together. There would be a
representative thumbnail for each individual photo
album. When this thumbnail is clicked then the
respective photo album page opens. The good thing is
that this can be done for you pretty much
automatically as long as you have your photos
Hi James
You kindly provided the above link when I enquired about improvements to my site. I did not have the opportunity to make the changes at the time but when I came back to your reply I cannot get the link to work . Has it changed. Thanks for your help

I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again. I haven't had this problem before.
Hi kjackson73,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
Download past purchases

I recently upgraded to the iphone 5 and managed to sort the transition out with little trouble but noticed when I tried to put my music on that Itunes has messed with album info and either it or me has generated several copies of the same albums over the years and it makes it quite dificult to sort it all out before reloading on the phone. To stop the chaos I had hoped to clear the library and start again but cant find a way to do it. I was hoping to sort all my music out in original files and consolidate them into a proper folder. HOw do I do this. I notice there is an add fole and folder button but no take away??? is there an easy way?
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. If you have multiple references to the same files then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

How to delete and start again?
I've finished ripping my collection of 480+ CDs but I really think a big mistake I made was signing-up to Match before I'd finished. I've got various minor problems (such as mismatched art which won't synchronize) and some bigger problems (such as songs which just won't match nor upload) and I think the best thing is just clear everything from the iCloud and start again.
So...how do you do this?
My saviour might be my old Windows XP laptop. It's running iTunes 11 but, unlike my Mac, it only sees my iCloud, ie there are no songs/albums on the PC, it streams everything. If I delete all the albums using that PC, will it essentially clear everything from my iCloud so I can start with Match afresh?
There needs to be a way to wipe the slate clean, surely?Not sure Michael I think I might have cracked it, unless someone's got as far as I have and it turns out to be a red herring
I did as I said in the last paragraph, ie I turned off iTunes Match on my Mac and my iPhone, logged into the PC which only streams via Match and deleted all the items (which of course said 'hide', not 'delete'). Back on my Mac, I logged out/in to iTunes, then turned on iTunes Match. Looking at the 'Songs' view, the iCloud Status said 'Removed' on everything, which looked good to me!
I went to 'Albums' view, hit Cmd + A, right-clicked a random album and selected "Add to iCloud". It now really does seem to be starting all over again with the scan/match/upload, so far having taken about 20 mins on Step 1 and it's about a third across, which is what I would expect if it was doing a proper full scan and not an incremental update. Going back to 'Songs' view now shows the iCould status on all items as 'Waiting'.
I will keep this thread posted with the outcome. -
Adobe Premiere can not find any module capable of playing video. Update the video drivers and start again.

What else can I do?

Please help me. Thank you.
mailto: [email protected]Here is a link to an Adobe TechNote about the same issue with an earlier (much earlier!) version of Premiere Elements and Windows XP.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/324/324938.html
I'll leave it to Steve and Bill as to whether the fix offered in the link for Premiere Elements 2 would still be applicable to your version of Premiere Elements.
Hope this is of some assistance. -
I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?
I guess if stolen or lost it would protect my "stuff", and if I'm travelling would protect my privacy.
You must understand the purpose and implications of encryption before deciding whether to use it.
Encryption locks your data with a password. If you forget that password, the data is lost beyond any chance of recovery. Neither Apple nor anyone else will be able to help you recover that data if you don't know the password.
By the same token, the password must be strong enough to provide the security you want. For example, if you're the potential target of industrial espionage by a government or large corporation, you need the strongest possible password. To create and manage such a password safely is a task in itself, not to be undertaken lightly.
If you're only concerned about casual snooping by someone with no special skill, a weak, easily-remembered password is appropriate.
But regardless of the strength of the password, if you lose it, the data is gone forever.
Another point to remember is that if you encrypt your data on one storage device, you must also encrypt it on all other storage devices that would be accessible to the same attacker. Otherwise the data isn't protected. For example, if you keep your computer and your backup drive in the same room, and the internal drive of the computer is not encrypted, then there's no point in encrypting the backup drive. -
Wiping everything and starting again
Hi All,
Forgive my ignorance but I can' seem to get a straight answer on the web.
My macbook's been getting a bit sluggish so I upgraded to leopard from tiger and this has sped it up a bit, but I've decided I want to wipe everything and start again with a clean version of leopard.
What's the best way to do this?
Is it to "boot" from the leopard CD? How do I do that?
Obviously I have backed everything up and I don't mind investing the time to re-install my apps
Thanks
LukeI agree with Allan that an Erase & Install is probably overkill.
Try these intermediate step before following the directions for the Erase & Install:
Start up from the install disk (holding down the C key during restart);
From the Utilities menu select Disk Utilities and run the Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
Restart and see if this helps.
If not, start up from the install disk again and from the install Options, select Archive & Install.
The Repairs will clean up all the system files. The Archive & Install will replace the old system files with new ones, moving the old system files to a folder named Previous System.
If that doesn’t seem to help, since you have a full bootable backup, you can go ahead and try the Erase & Install. -
i shared an ipod 5th gen with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. i have the ipod now but no password and would like to put it on my email and password so that i can wipe it clean and start again, any ideas?
The iPod isn't tied to an Apple ID, but is likely tied to an iTunes library. If you want to set it up as a new iPod (as if you were just pulling it out of the box), restore it to factory settings in iTunes.

1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU after formatting completes and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
5. After restart into Snow Leopard download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. -
I have a black Apple TV that has recently stopped working. It loads the Apple Logo on screen then goes off and starts again. It's as if it is stuck in a loop. I've tried a re-boot and this has failed. I have tried a restore using a USB cable on 5 different computers, including a Mac Book Pro and it downloads the update file but when it tries to restore I get the error code 9 showing on screen. I just can't get it to do anything.
Can anyone please help?Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?! -
i have a brand new macbook pro that i was doing a data transfer via firewire from an old macbook, it got stopped/cable pulled out, now have spinning wheel of death that wont stop, how do i reboot/stop the wheel of death and start again? (this time il use time machine transfer)
Just power off the machine(s). Shut them down. Migration Assistant gets 'stuck' sometimes - best way to migrate really isn't over Firewire, though it will certainly work, but with both machines hardwired via Ethernet to the same router. You can use a TM backup, too, of course, provided that it's recent. Which is the best? Your choice. I've done it both ways and have a preference for MA, but TM restore can be a bit faster and less quarrelsome.

I updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014, all the other Adobe CC 2014 software works great, but Premiere doesnt even load. The starting page (frame) comes up - my whole computer slows down and after a minute or two it crashes completely and comes up with the message : "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again."
I'm running a macbook Pro 15" (2014) with 16GB RAM and 760GB SSD.
PLEASE HELP!Hi Delarey,
Please go to the following location and rename the folder to old_folder name
User/user library/Application Support and rename Adobe folder
User/user library/Preferences and rename the Adobe folder
Then go to Documents folder and Go to Adobe/Premiere pro/8.0 and rename 8.0 folder

Mail (again!) .. how do I clean all existing settings of Mail and start again?
I have (Yosemite) Mail linking into BT. I have a problem that occurred with Mavericks and continues with Yosemite Mail. Mail works fine for a month or two then goes wrong... almost a pattern! Usually I put it right by deleting the account and set it up again and it works for a while. I am so frustrated because I do not understand the intricacies of software and programming. Now it is refusing to send emails in both my and my wife's account. iCloud works (after I deleted and set it up again). But I need our BT separate accounts. Is there a way of deleting all the old bits and pieces of files that might be 'remembering' bad settings and starting again? Is there a fix? I am alarmed by the smart-alec comments of people with 'level 5/whatever' who say there is no issue. There damned well is!
There are a plethora of problems noted here with BT's email service, but similar could be said for various others.
You could delete the ~/Library/Mail folder along with the containers and preferences.
Note that deleting the Mail folder will delete all of your email stored on the Mac.
Inside the Mail/V2 folder are folders for each account. You could start with deleting those and the Containers, Prefs.
Containers: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
However, if it works for a period of time, then stops working, it isn't dredging up an old setting from somewhere. The settings are what they are at the time; no history.
What can possibly happen, and does seem to happen with Mail periodically, is that the Keychain stores multiple passwords for the accounts.
Open Keychain Access, select login keychain, and then search for your email accounts. Delete any entries you have for the accounts.
Then, open Mail and enter the correct passwords for the accounts. That will ensure there is only one password being attempted. -
Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes. It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
it started skipping again.Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!
