Compressor 2 problems - a simple solution?

Wow! it seems we're all having problems with Compressor 2. Further to my posting yesterday, surely we should all stop using v2 and go back to good ol' v1 and let Apple know that we don't intend to upgrade until they get v2 properly sorted out.
So, is there anyone out there who can tell us how to strip Compressor 2 off our systems and re-install the old version?
I wonder how many of us need to compress in HD over several machines!

i've been having the same problems. i asked one of the guys behind the Studio counter at the SF Apple Store about the issue and he said to stop using compressor. he said it *****.
i did some tests last night and found that if you export the footage as a QuickTime movie from FCP, then bring it into DVD Studio Pro and do the encoding there, it works fine and transitions come out smoothly.
on a side note, i think we should petition Apple to clean up Compressor and make it something professionals can use. i find version 2 totally unacceptable.

Simple solution to iChat AV 10.4.3 Problem

I know I will receive lots of criticism from certain quarters but there is a very simple solution to the countless problems that thousands of iChat users are getting - go back to 10.4.2.
Clearly there is a major problem with 10.4.3 and iChat AV, and I have been searching this forum for the last 2 weeks to try and solve it. I have read so many posts that talk about opening ports and various reconfigurations of the router and in the majority of cases these have not been successful and are far too complicated for the vast majority of Mac users.
This is clearly a major problem, there are over 800 views of one thread alone. This must just be the tip of the iceberg, there must be tens of thousands of users who no longer can get iChat working. Apple really need to take note of this and do something about it. Mac users expect stuff to work out of the box - iChat used to - now it often doesn't.
Reading all the posts the problem is very complicated. In my own case I can use iChat AV with some of my friends and not with others. All of us are on 10.4.3. After days of frustration I re-installed 10.4 out of the box and upgraded it to 10.4.2. It all now works fine, just as it did before the dreaded upgrade.
The solution is simple - just re-install 10.4.2 and come back here and tell me it now works.

Hello David,
I cannot agree with you I am afraid. iChat works fine for me on 10.4.3. I am sure it works fine for many others too. There are some set up issues, they seem to get resolved pretty quickly in here.
Not a criticism as such David - But suggesting that the best fix is a retro grade one is perhaps not the best resolution to a problem.
I am not saying I can fix your problem - there are many here better than me at sorting out problems ( I won't name names but they know who they are! ) :-)))
Why not post back with some more information about the problem. The set up there. Any error messages you get.... I'll bet you a Pound of Apples and a large Pineapple that some one can get you chatting happily on 10.4.3.
Now theres a challenge!!!
Best regards

A Simple Solution to the Slowness Problem

Here is a simple solution that worked for me and will probably work for a lot of other people too. Hold down the ALT key when you open iPhoto. iPhoto then allows you open a new library or choose from your existing libraries. If you open a new library you can download images from your camera into the new library. Presto! You have a small number of photos to work with and iPhoto chugs merrily along with no slowness whatsoever. You want to go to another library? Simple: close iPhoto, then reopen it while holding down the ALT key again. Choose the library you want. I have hunted high and low for a solution to the slowness problem for months. This is far and away the best one I have found.
If you have a lot of photos in your existing library, you will need to divide it up into smaller libraries. I suggest making a library for each month of photos. If iPhoto is still slow on a particular library, divide that library into smaller libraries. This is time consuming, but at least you only have to do it once. It is worth it to get iPhoto back.

AlexCox, can you clarify that once you get the default model out and save it in the temp var, that your ONLY access to the data is then through temp and never through the JList methods?
Quick question for everyone: Are any of you using JList.setListData to set you initial dataset? I think that is where the bug lies. When I do not use it and start with an empty list, I am able to add to that list, and then remove from that list using the following line:
((DefaultListModel)myList.getModel).remove(###);
And this cast works everytime.
But when I start that list out with some data such as:
myList.setListData(myStringArray);
and then try to execute the above line, boom! I get the ClassCast exception.
I think setListData creates a whole new model which is an inner class to JList (which seems stupid when DefaultListModel seems made for this).
Just my thoughts on where the problem lies. I'll add my data directly to the list and see if that works better.

ITunes won't open after downloading software update. Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8 Simple solution?

iTunes won't open after downloading software update. Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8 Simple solution? And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

It would help to know versions here. I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed. Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago. If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses. Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

T520 Sound Issues...Latency Spikes...SIMPLE SOLUTION !!

Hello All,
Many of us T520 owners have had problems with skipping/cracking/distorted audio as a result of DPC Latency Spikes. I have been reading every available thread on the topic and I found a simple solution in a T420 thread that I wanted to share with any T520 users that may have overlooked it.
The Latency Spikes experienced by many users (including myself) were caused by the Ethernet Driver (Intel 82579LM Gigabit Adapter). The current T520 is loaded with Intel driver version 11.12.38.2001. However, if you revert to version 11.12.36.0 the issue disappears. You can download the driver directly from the HP website. (It is no longer available on the Lenovo Support Page)
Thanks again to the original T420 poster and GOOD LUCK!
Moderator Note: Links fixed.

Just bought a NEW T520 with nVidia 4200 , i5 , 4GB, 500GB (7K2 rpm)....
Had before Y560p, & resplved problems with that by reversing the bios to an older one, I didn't found it on Lenovo web, but hte guy from Thailand sended it to me on e-mail (he had problems too).
So it was OK but I wanted the best U can buy... & bought T520.... Had a BIG problem on a gig 1st time a used it ...
Music just stopped for a second or two.... big spike in latency monitor (I started it before work)... then I put to OFF WiFi (on the switch - left side). OK for about 45 min, then AGAIN.... I have gone crazy .... bought a double priced laptop & have problems again ??!?! Is that possible ?!?!?
BTW the drivers on my LAN card are : 11.15.16.0
Anyone know the answer for this ? Thanks in advance, while I'm reconsidering (not glad about that cose I love the Lenovo brand) buying the Apple Mac Book Pro...

My Notes duplicate as I am typing them and then I have to delete the excess notes. Also, Notes no longer synch to my iPhone. Is there a simple solution?

My Notes deplicate as I am typing them and then I have to delete them. Also, Notes no longer synch to my iPhone. Is there a simple solution to these problems?

Jimyyz2 -
In the Accounts system preference you can see which accounts are being used.
Where are you storing your notes? If you show the folders list (View->Show folders list) you should see a header that has the account name of where the notes are stored. What does it say?

GB 1.0 & 1.1 quitting immediately...a simple solution!

I realize this is not a "new" topic, but it has plagued me for several years and I finally found the cure. I did a search on this very problem (on the Apple site under Support>Garageband 1.0/1.1>+"GB quits after a brief flicker of the "Finder"+) and it came back with a strange but true answer. If your clock is set incorrectly, this will happen every time. If your battery is going bad, the clock starts giving dates from the last century! In my previous posts concerning this topic my solution was to "zero" the drive and reinstall everything.... Ciao!

FCP/FCE anamorphic to iDVD - A simple solution?

I posted this over in the iDVD forum, but I would like to get some response from you guys on this matter too.
I have seen a lot of discussions about how hard it is to get anamorphic material from FCP/FCE into iDVD. There seem to be a few complex workarounds using third party software etc.
Today I suddenly came to think about a possible very simple solution.
1. Export to QuickTime from FCP/FCE
2. Open the clip in QuickTime Pro
3. Choose the Window menu and choose Show Movie Properties
4. Select the Video Track and click the Visual Settings tab
5. Uncheck Preserve Aspect Ratio
6. Change the width to 854 (DV-NTSC) or to 1024 (DV-PAL)
7. Save the clip and quit QuickTime
8. Open iDVD and start a new 16:9 Widescreen project
9. Import your modified QuickTime clip
10. Author and burn your DVD
Is it really this easy? Are there any downsides to doing it this way?
I just tested this workflow, and the finished DVD looked fine.
I prefer using Compressor/DVD Studio Pro my self, but it would be nice to have a simple solution to offer those who ask about bringing anamorphic material from FCP/FCE into iDVD.
I wonder why Apple has not implemented an anamorphic checkbox or something like that inside iDVD. I have not yet found any guidance from Apple on this matter. Have I missed something here?

I gave the usual dimensions for Standard Definition DV Anamorphic as an example. The actual dimensions for DV Anamorphic NTSC and PAL are: 720x480 and 720x576, but when stretched, the right width is 854 and 1024 as mentioned in my first post. The dimentions you are mentioning are for High Definition 1080i/p
If you are editing 720p, the dimentions are: 1280 × 720.
This might be of help:

Poor design on the hard shell... but there's a simple solution / suggest

Do you like using the Micro's hard shell casing as a desk-prop? Are you annoyed that you have to unplug and re-plug the headphones from the jack every time you want to take it out (to change the battery, for instance)?
So am I. Plus, I noticed that in the picture of the wireless headphone transmitter mount there is not such inconvinent bar. Inspired by this, I found a simple solution: Cut a path for the jack through that narrow bar of plastic at the top of the shell. It doesn't seem to weaken the shell, and it frees you up to insert and remove the Micro without fear of wearing out your headphone jack.
It's easy enough to fit, but making it this way at the factory should be something for Creative to consider for the next production run.

I'm not saying cut the whole **bleep** top off, just a small channel through it for the headphone jack; there is still the majority of the top to keep the pressure on from above. Plus, most the resistance is from the bottom and two thicker bands of foam-like ,material on the lateral sides of the case. The tope seems a little superfluous, as shown by the willingness to skip that part in the wireless headphone transmitter base.
That being said, I use the shell as a desk prop far more than as a belt clip, so I may have just never (ie: not yet) come across a belt-clip problem with it after I cut away the headphone jack channel. My major worry is htat I haven't filed the edges down and this might speed the shell's breakage somehow...
anyway...

I am suddenly logged out from whatever program or app i am working on and i have to log back in. one solution suggested is to reset or restore of my IOS software which is quite an involved endeavor. anyone knows of the cause and simpler solution?

i find that i am suddenly logged out of program or an app or website, and i am back to the HOME screen. i have to log back in and sometimes i find back exactly where i left off, some stuff i have entered or written, or sometimes i have to start all over again and re-enter data or write back what i seem to have lost.
i tried a different browser and it does not solve the problem. i tried different apps, website and programs and it happens anywhere and at any app, program or website.
apple staff suggested a complete restore of the IOS software, which is quite an involved process. does anyone know of any possible causes and a simpler
solution without having to reset the entire IOS 7.0.6

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution to this bug?

Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution for this bug? It's been 5-months, I currently do not have quick access to a sync, I thought iMatch for Christmas would solve the problem but it appears that doesn't solve anything either....help please! If I listen to my kid's lula-bye song in duplicate for another night I'm going to seriously loose it on Little Boy Peep. Like really Apple do I need to call IN and pay for this problem?

The possible problem appears to me that songs that were previously loaded onto the iPad device from Mac were duplicated when I started to sync with iCloud. An album will contain one song from the iPad that was originally loaded on sync with Mac and another that will appear either with a little iCloud icon next to the song greyed out or a DUPLICATE song.
I had hoped iMatch would solve the issue magically, but that does not appear to be the case.

A problem on Sap Solution Manager

Hi all,
I got a problem with Sap Solution manager and i hope that you will be able to help me
Ill try to do my best to be understood in English =)
So, here is my goal :
I want to use SolMan as a workbench for test with eCATT. I made a very simple test with the transaction SECATT : A script for a customer creation by the transaction XD01.
This script works well, so Ive done the test configuration, the Test data and the system data.
At this point, I dont have any problem. If I launch the test, it works. (Important point maybe : I work in remote from an environnement dedicated to SolMan toward a production one).
When I try to put this test in SolMan, there appear my problems.
I dont really know SolMan for the moment, but it seems that I have to begin by the transaction SOLAR01 which lead me to the Business blueprint change. But I cant modify anything in it, as the system always tells me the following error : You cannot change (or There are no) Structure nodes.
Maybe Im not going in the good way, but I try every transaction in SolMan, like Configuration, Test plan management or project overview & Administration. I filled all field I could, but its not working for the moment.
I just want to know how to get my test in a workbench, in a test plan on SolMan
Can you help me ?
Thx a lot
R.P.
(P.S : Of course, if you got a step by step document, I would be pleased to receive it ! =))

Hello Papillon,
What I understand from your contribution: You do not seem to have a problem working with the Test Workbench in general but would like to know how to work with the Test Workbench as integral part of SAP Solution Manager.
The basic idea of SAP Solution Manager is that you have the possibility of doing a process-oriented testing (instead of straight module or functioned-oriented testing with regular Test Workbench functionality).
This is why in SAP Solution Manager you would start of with setting up a project (in transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN), in which you define a <i>process-oriented</i> blueprint structure in the next step (transaction SOLAR01) and attach test cases to your process-oriented structure (in transaction SOLAR02) afterwards.
You will find a guide dedicated to testing topics in SAP Solution Manager here:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000213552006E">http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000213552006E</a>
This guide should provide sufficient guidance and walks you through the whole process, explaining why and how you operate the above mentioned transactions and much more.
Best regards,
Doreen Baseler
