Composite Settings Have No Effect?

The composition settings were working fine until I retimed an animation clip that was set to "Darken". No, the composite settings don't work on this clip or ANY other clip in my timeline.
What the heck happened?

I've figured something out....still struggling to make it look right.
- Composition Settings do NOT work in a Storyline. It wasn't the retiming that broke it, it was putting it into a story line, which I did to this and other clips in order to be able to put a transition on them.
- I can't add a transition to the clip unless it is in a Storyline or a Compound clip.
- Transitions do NOT work in Compound Clips - for the duration of the transition, the clip is solid black, and then suddenly comes on after the transition is over or the transition just has no effect.
The only solution I can find to this is to add a white fill generator than I can apply a transition to and lay it over the top, but it's not going to look the way I want it to.
this portion of the video is an off-white background and I am trying to eliminate the pure white background of the animation clip I am using - normal solution is setting composite to darken or multiply. FCPx just added about 15 steps to accomplish this.

I'm using a pc, (windows 8.1,) and I cannot get a thick and thin line with CS6. None of the brush tool settings have any effect, even in the preview. Is there a setting I need because I'm using a pc?

I'm using a pc, (windows 8.1,) and I cannot get a thick and thin line with CS6. I want to draw, but I cannot get any linework like I should. I also use Sketchbook Pro, and ToonBoom, and I get wonderful linework. But not with Photoshop.

Keyboard Backlight Settings have no effect vaio Control Center

I have a Sony laptop, model SVE14A35CXH, and my backlit keyboard does work, it's just that the settings in Vaio Control Center, under Keyboard Backlight, the settings for that have no effect on the actual keyboard backlight. I make the setting to never turn on, for both on battery and plugged in, the keyboard still comes on when a key is pressed. I change the setting to turn on in low light, turn off after 60 seconds, it always turns off after 15. Any time I change the backlight settings, the actual keyboard backlight always turns on in low light conditions, and always turns off after 15 seconds if a key is not pressed. The settings have no effect on what the backlight does. Help would be appreciated.

Hi Derp-Derpinson,
Are you using a retail version of Windows? You mentioned before that you did a complete fresh install of Windows 8. Please follow the troubleshooting guidelines below:
Power Cycle - remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. This will drain the electricity of the unit. Check again the backlight.
Reset BIOS.
Make sure that these drivers are installed or updated: (Sony® Firmware Extension Parser Device Driver, Sony® Shared Library, Hotkey Utilities). You may go to eSupport to download the drivers.
You may also reinstall Vaio Control Center.
Hope these work.
Regards,
Vincent

Corners and edges settings have no effect on Win 8.1 Stream 8

On my Stream 8
PC Settings -- Under PC and devices -- Corner and edges -- Corner navigation, there are on/off settings for upper left and right.
Upper Left (if on) - click, switch between my recent apps
Upper Right (if on) - touch, show the charms
Neither work as advertised. Tried toggling on and off. No effect.
Not the end of the world as we know it, but wondered if others have run into this as well and is there a fix.

This was discoverd by someone shortly after the stream 7 release.. many of the edge swipe commands wouldn't work. If you use the selector box on the desktop you will see the digitizer is configured so that no touch is registered from about 3-4 pixles of the outer edge of the screen. This makes it hard to impossible for some edge swipe commands to work. Luckly the main ones work like swiping the right side, but alas a bit of a bad oversight on HPs end.

Finder settings have no effect

Hello all,
I am very new to Profile Manger so please bear with me. The instatution I work for is getting ready to switch our 150 macs from MCX management to profile based management. I seem to have incountered some strange behaiver when trying to use the "Finder" payload. I want finder to show all connected Hard disks servers, CD's, and external disks so I have checked these options in Profile Manger. When I push the settings to my test machine they do not take effect, after looking at the installed profile I noticed that it does not show any finder payload, however it does show "Restricted Media". After seeing this I went back into Profile Manager and disabled the finder payload, this removed the "Restricted Media" payload from the installed profile. I then decided that I could just use custom settings and try to use the old MCX keys but this also did not work.
Any ideas?

Hello lilchub101,
I am probably not the expert you are waiting for, but I have been working on Profile Manager during the past days, so I can share with you what I have recently learned.
I did manage to push a "Finder" payload to my test machine. I did this at a user level (meaning that I create. As far as I understand, this is not what you have been trying to do since you settings concern an "IT MacBook Pro". No per say your setting shouldn't work though. And yes, the Media Restrictions correspond to the modifications you are applying to the Finder.
More details about what I have been doing:
First experience:
1. On the Profile Manager web iterface, I clicked on Users, chose a particular user, then Settings and clicked Edit. I Configured a OS X > Finder payload by deselecting all checkboxes of the "Show these items on the desktop" section, except "Hard disks". I clicked on Ok, then Save... and Save again. Since I enabled the "Device Management" option in Server.app for Profile Manager, I then clicked on "General" to make sure that the "Profile Distribution Type" was set to "Manual Download" for this user.
2. As the user, I connected to myserver/mydevices and downloaded/installed the profile specific for this user (actually, I first downloaded and installed the Trust Profile, but did not enroll the device at this point).
3. The settings were correctly applied. Just one (nasty) detail: the checkboxes in the Finder settings were not grayed out but, still, the user wasn't allowed to make changes to the Finder settings.
Second experience:
1. I removed the profile from the user's device and went back to profile manager
2. I removed the Finder payload in the user's Settings and chose "Custom Settings".
3. I uploaded a file named com.apple.finder.plist containing exactly this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop</key>
    <true/>
    <key>ShowExternalHardDrivesOnDesktop</key>
    <false/>
    <key>ShowRemovableMediaOnDesktop</key>
    <false/>
    <key>ShowMountedServersOnDesktop</key>
    <false/>
</dict>
</plist>
4. Ok, Save, save etc.
5. On the client side, I downloaded and installed his profile. Note that the profile description is ugly from the user side.
6. Concerning the checkboxes, the result is the same that in the first experience. Yet, the remaining settings are still editable by the user. The reason is that *all* possible settings are specified when configuring the payload using the Profile Manager gui, whereas only those specified in the pllist file are forced in the second experience.
That's it! In your case, it might be useful to actually check what profiles are actually present on the client computer. You can use the "profiles" command for that. You can have a look at http://krypted.com/tag/profile-manager/.
I hope this helps! Good luck.

I want to use a customized photoshop button with my composition and have rollover effect

I'm trying to place a photoshop button into a blank composition widget trigger. When I cut a paste the image into the trigger it looses its fuctionality and no longer switches colors during rollover. It works fine in the lightbox composition, but the problem with lightbox composition is that it does not have rollover options to display the target only click. How do I get around this problem. I want to have my own customized button with the composition effect within muse cc.

You should check the design layout and states defined for the trigger , if the state is defined properly then it should show the rollover state, but the target container corresponding to the trigger is on the page then it would show you the active state not the rollover state.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Some Windows 8.1 GPO settings have no effects

I´m trying to customize Windows 8.1 visual look By setting some GPO:s, and even when I see with resultant, that my settings are inherited, they has still no visual effect. These settings are:
"Force a specific default lock screen image" - still there is default lock screen, not mine.
"Prevent the wizard from running." - when new user logs in, the wizard is launched.
I´m just wonder, is there a known bug why these settings does not work or has no effect?

HT2490 my audio volume control defaults to mute whenever I start the computer. Preference settings have no effect. Technical support couldn't help.

Audio preference settings continually default to minimum with Mute ticked whenever I start up.
Technical support could not help desite 30 minutes or more of trying various approaches.
The technician "proved" that it is a system issue and not an individual "user" setting that is affecting the computer.
Any ideas about what is causing the problem and how it might be fixed?

Thanks for the inquiry and feed-back. Tech support advised me to unlock the preference dialog box when I was logged in as the administrator. We changed the volume setting to mid-way on the scale and rebooted but the volume preferences reset to minimum volume with Mute ticked. He also had me try what I assume is a reset of defaults on boot-up. I held the Command/Option/P keys and operated the power on switch, then immediately held down the R key which put the computer through a different start up sequence. Once again the volume was muted and indicated minimum when I checked. No luck either when we created a New User account and set the volume control to mid-way as previously mentioned. Other approaches he suggested were too involved for me to accurately relate but involved deletion of some files associated with the sound system. No joy which is why I have sought other advice. Thanks anyway for your interest!

Volume Settings Have No Effect

Hey Guys~
Wondering if anyone else has this issue and if so, have you found a work around?
When I make changes to the volume of a clip on the timeline, that change does not take effect. The setting stays put, but is not actually applied to the clip. I want to mute a clip, but even with the volume set to 0%, the volume remains the same.
Any ideas? Everything else seems to be working ok.
Update:
So I deleted plist for iMovie and the changes I made took effect, but any additional audio changes I made did not take effect.

Include Develop settings in metadata have no effect

Hi.
I've just discovered that option in the "Catalog Settings -> Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files" have no effect.
I tested this with JPEG and TIFF inside LR 3.3 RC1, but it looks like this issue is present even in LR 2.x too.
No matter what you option is, develop settings are always included into the XMP.
I have exported the same image with this option on and off and they are binary equal except creation date in the XMP.
Develop settings are always there, no matter what you have selected in options.

This is sounding like normal behaviour. It should only apply when writing metadata back to original files.
The 'include Develop settings in XMP' checkbox dates back to the early days when ACR was just starting to be able to process rendered files. It was automatically opening any rendered files into the ACR dialog if there were Develop settings found in the metadata. The checkbox prevented those settings being written to those originals so that you could open directly into PS and bypass the dialog, and additional options have since been added to the Camera Raw preferences in Bridge/PS to allow you to use or ignore those settings too.
Once the files are being exported, there's a line in the metadata that says <crs:AlreadyApplied>True</crs:AlreadyApplied> which prevents those Develop settings being applied again.
If you want to exclude Develop settings from exported files, you can either check the 'minimize embedded metadata' checkbox in the Export dialog to remove all metadata, or use Jeffrey's Metadata Wrangler plug-in to specify which metadata to exclude.

EQ settings appear to have no effect on sound with OS 3.0

Since the 3.0, changing the EQ settings on the iPhone appear to have zero effect on the sound quality using stereo headphones. Anyone else?

Any one have link on how to revert to 2.2.1 firmware on a mac? Also I have appointment with BMW on Wednesday next week so will first wait for that to see if they have fix before reverting. Anyone else heard from or tried to contact BMW service? Also I do have a clear work around that works with my 1st gen touch 32gig. Turn off car. Disconnect pod, turn off pod(hold down top button then slide it to off when it comes up with option to turn off). Then Turn on car and turn on pod not connected to car. Make sure car is on something other than aux like fm is what I use. Then once pod is on connect it to cars ipod connector. Now switch to aux and it should work....may have to hit usb as option...(every once and a while mine requires it). Now the bad news. Every-time you turn off car you have to do this again when you turn it on again (so remember to disconnect pod before turning on car). Let me know if anyone else finds this to work with their ipod touch please. Good luck - still surprised there is not more mention of this problem on the web cant believe that a lot of BMW users dont also have ipod touches for use in their car.

When I issue the 'Force group Settings' command what effect will this have on existing flows? Do I need to disable WCCP prior to issuing this command on the affected WAE's?

Hi WAAS Experts,
I have a query, when I issue the 'Force group Settings' command what effect will this have on existing flows? Do I need to disable WCCP prior to issuing this command on the affected WAE's?
Thanks,

Hi Shankar,
A change of classifier/policy on the WAE is not affecting the existing flows so you shouldn't need to disable WCCP if you want to force group settings there.

What composition settings for Black Magic 10 bits AVI 1920x1080 (1,0) 25p

Hi,
I want to use some Black Magic 10 bits AVI 1920x1080 (1,0) 25p footage and wonder what settings I have to use in the Composition Settings Dialog Box.
Thanks! David

Change the project settings to 16 or 32 bit. Drag some footage into the create new comp icon at the bottom of the Project Panel.
Your composition will exactly match the clip. If you check composition settings you'll see:
Or you could just use the HDTV 25 preset. All the standard settings are supported.
You'll probably want to create a custom output module for your blackmagic codec and set that to be the default. Remember to include audio processing if it's important to your workflow.

Does the Flashback malware have an effect on OS X systems without java installed?

Does the Flashback malware have an effect on OS X systems without java installed? Just asking since i do not have java installed...

It's not likely, but better safe than sorry. See
Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
Visit Thomas Reed's site for insight and help: Mac Malware Guide
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. However, be careful about what you do as new variants of the malware circumvent the efforts of earlier tools.
Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
Apple has released Java updates for Snow Leopard and Lion users:
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003; available only for users of Lion with Java installed.
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8; available only for users of Snow Leopard.
Flashback malware removal tool; available only for users of Lion without Java installed.
Install whichever shows up in Software Update. It removes the malware (if present), updates Java (if present) and tightens up Java settings for the future. You may download from Apple's web site instead of using Software Update, but it's important to know which one to get, because the other two won't work for you.
