Cursor in arrange window won't move when track is playing

Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem I'm having with Logic? I've been away from making tracks for a few weeks and now that I'm trying to use logic again I'm finding that cursor is not moving when I play a track, both in a new session and in old sessions. I am able to move the cursor by double clicking on the bottom part of the ruler but it doesn't scroll as it should during play. Is this a bug and do I need to reinstall logic or did I inadvertently set something to the wrong setting?
thanks a lot for your help,
Mike
p.s. I am running logic 7.1 on an IMac G5

The function you probably want is called Catch. Check out:
Logic Pro > Preferences > Global
There's a tab there (called Catch) that allows you to turn Catch off and on - check out the manual for detailed comments on the three options available.
Also, on the Arrange Window there's a button in the top left corner - looks like a person walking. If that's grey, the Catch function is turned off. If blue, the Catch function will operate.

Flex 4 Chart title won't move when positioned

Hi,
I have an issue with my horizontal chart title in my Flex 4 bar chart--it just won't move when I try to position it someplace other than the default (which is center).
I followed the example in the livedocs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_displayingdata_05.html, specifically the one using the 'titleRenderer" property of the AxisRenderer, and setting it to my custom AxisRenderer class. Here is my code:
package classes.view
    import mx.charts.*;
    import mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartLabel;
    public class ChartTitleRenderer extends ChartLabel
        public function ChartTitleRenderer()
            super();
        override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void {
            super.updateDisplayList(w, h);
            this.setStyle("textAlign","left");
Setting the textAlign property doesn't work. I have tried setting this property in the css as well and applying it directly to the axis, which also doesn't work. I have also tried "this.x = -100" etc, to no effect. Any ideas?
Thanks

Ray,
To do the "masking" that you are referring to, I think that two Effects (explore each, to see which works best for you), will give you what you want:
The Crop Effect, applied to the Still Images in Video Track 3. This Effect can be Keyframed to change, as is required over time.
The 4-Point Garbage Matte Effect.
If the Still on Video 2 is sized to the Frame of the Project, say 1920 x 1080 for Full-HD, it will "cover" the Video on Video Track 1.
Note: it is best to Scale the Still Images to very close to what you want/need, in PS, or PSElements, prior to Import. What you are doing with the Still Images in Video Track 3 is creating a PiP (Picture in Picture). This ARTICLE goes into more detail on
Good luck,
Hunt

Getting the time and date of when tracks are playing for an honours project

Hi people.
I am in 4th year at Glasgow Caledonian University studying Audio Technology. I am doing an honours project on the classification of contemporary music and what I am looking to do is retrieve information on exactly when tracks are played (time and date) on an iphone using itunes.
I know that last fm time stamps each time a track is played and running this through itunes is an option. Does anyone know of a way to get this information from itunes? I have even tried phoning apple but they say possibly only a third party app which I have had no luck finding.
Thanks for reading.
Gerry Gregory

If I understand you correctly and you want to get this information from tracks being played on an iPhone, one of these might work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/app/iscrob/id381910892?mt=8

Windows won't close when you quit Pages '09

Anybody else find that the Special Character and Help Pages windows don't close when you quit Pages? Also, these windows can't be relegated to the background when clicking on an underlying page. These seem to be really sloppy oversights...

I appreciate that the Character palette and Help are separate applications. The problem is that there is no need to keep these windows open once the program that called them is closed. Moreover, when Help is called in Pages '09, the window that is left open after the program quits is Pages '09-specific. You can't use it to submit queries for help with any other applications. Therefore, there is absolutely no sense in keeping it open. I kind of equate this to a messy kid that doesn't clean up his/her toys once (s)he's finished playing...

Any way to update playcount when track is played via shared library?

Hi, I have a laptop and other computer that accesses a shared library on my main PC. This "central" library contains all the podcasts I listen to, and syncs with my iphone. In the past It's been extremely convenient that itunes would delete podcasts for me when they are played from the "central" itunes pc or on the iphone, so I would only have the latest. But now I've started listening to podcasts on computers which connect to the shared library, I'm having to remember which podcasts have been listened to later, and delete or mark as played manually, which is a nuisance.
SO, my question is: is there any option or even a known workaround available that would have the shared library mark a podcast as played (i.e. increase the playcount) when it is played on a computer that connects to it via sharing? Thanks

It doesn't work as I expected. This is what I tested:
Find song that is on both Mac & Win7 machines. Take note of each playcount.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
2                         7
Play song on Mac.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         7
I expected the Win7 playcount to increase to 8, as well, but it didn't.
Play song on Win7.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         8
I expected the Mac playcount to increase to 4, but it didn't.
Play song on Mac through homesharing (the Win7 song actually gets played)
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         9
OK, I guess this is all this homesharing feature does. The Win7 song actually got played so its playcount got updated from the Mac.

Can someone help me understand why the search engine will not do anything when I click the search icon or press enter, and why new windows won't open when I click on a link that should open one?

When I type something in the search engine at the right hand corner of the screen it will not allow the search to take place. What I mean is I either click the icon or press enter and nothing happens. I would understand it better if it at the very least gave me a error message. I have also noticed that things like the opening of a new window via a link will not work. An example is I was just on www.walmart.com and when I clicked on an image in order to see a larger one no window opened. I also recently noticed that when I had a lot of tabs open the shortcut menus and menus in general did not load completely or really at all keeping me from saving the pages as bookmarks. I know this could be from low internet speed, a lot of tabs etc..., but I've had many more tabs open than I had then and it worked. Plus all I did was delete or close one tab and suddenly it worked. I then recovered the tab and it still worked even though I was back at the original amount of tabs. I have the latest version of firefox, not counting the beta, and I don't know of any way to solve the two main problems.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Does anyone know how to do a background in motion 5 that won't move when I'm doing 3d?

When doing 3d camera work in Motion 5, the background i make just moves around and doesnt stay does anybody know what i should be doing or how to fix this? PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Does that work for generators as well? and how do i ensure its 2d?
Yes, if the generator (or any other object type) is place in a 2D group, it will work as Alan stated. You can make sure a group is 2D (or 3D) by doing the following.
Select the group then go to the Inspector and click on the button for groups. The first option will be "Type" you can set the group to 2D or 3D from here. When you do this, look at the Layer List or Timeline. When you change the type you will notice the icons change to help indicate if they are 2D or 3D. On the right hand side, next to the lock icon is a small icons that also changes. If you click on this, it will also toggle the group type, think of it a shortcut. The 2D group icons look like a flat arangment of layers. 3D groups look like layers separated ins space.

The scrollbar won't move when I click the up and down arrows or try to drag the bar, why is that?

I just updated to version 4.0.1. After I updated and got the browser up again, I tried to scroll by clicking the bar and trying to drag it. This didn't work. So then I tried clicking the up and down arrows. This did not work either. The only way I am able to scroll is by using the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard.

Why won't movies or TV shows play on my computer?

When I try to play movies or TV shows on my computer through iTunes that I purchased off of iTunes nothing happens. I click on "play movie" and it doesn't seem to do anything. My computer is authorized and I have Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes. Why are videos not playing? Also, some TV shows will not sync to my iPod touch or iPad 2. It say that they cannot be played on the device but I am not sure why. Can someone please help?

Very likely because the format is not compatible with the iPod. The option in iTUnes Advnced>Create iPod and iPhone version may work. Otherwise you need a computer program like Handbrake (Google for it) to convert the format. You did not say wha thappens when your try.

Downloaded song from iTunes and loaded on my iPhone, song won't start when I push play

Was it downloaded with the same account that your iPhone is logged in to?

In order to find out about the problem I have restarted another fresh install but inside a VM this time so I can take notes and snapshots.
I found that the following official package will break my Gnome 3.6 pretty easily:
- pygtksourceview2 : this one instantly crashes Gnome and you are no longer able to log in.
- pycups and pysmbc : doesn't crash immediately but after 10s you get the oops.
Let's remove them from the real install to see if it fixes the problem.
[EDIT] Tried again to install the above three package inside a fresh Gnome install living into a VM and it didn't crash. See post above regarding my broken Gnome which was related to fingerprint-gui package from AUR.

Output becomes muted automatically when track is played

Strange problem.
I play my track in Logic, it runs smoothly for three or four bars then the volume is completely muted. The output goes to zero (there is no signal), but the rest of the tracks on the mixer have the appropriate signal, as if the song were still playing.
So the individual tracks show that they have an incoming signal, but the output shows no signal. The track is still playing in the arrange as the track header continues to play. But there is no sound.
Can someone please help me with this?

No, but if you play songs from one playlist you can then switch to viewing another, or the main music playlist, without being drawn to current track when the track changes.

Any harm in having over 1000 midi tracks in the arrange window?

The way i like to work is...
to load up like 20 instances of a software sampler, (16 channels on each) and then create tracks for every midi channel in the arrange window. That way, when i'm writing, i can simply switch tracks to play different midi sounds.
Last night I spent hours creating all the tracks, but after I reached 1000, it just says "???" in the track number area. I was still able to create the tracks though, and everything seemed fine.
I should mention that I'm still waiting for the Intel Machfive version, so i can't test it yet.
So my question is, is there a problem for me to have so many tracks in the arrange window?

oh, and one more thing. it said "???" in the arrange window, but it showed the track number in the mixer. This is a good sign, right?

I can't get the pages to move when I highlight them?

I am trying to move a page forward or behind. It won't move when highlight it and drag.

I just bought a movie but it wont play on my computer.

I just bought a movie off itunes. not only did it take 90 minutes to download, now it wont play on my monitor.
I have an mac pro book with 10.7.5.
So I downloaded it to my ipad, connected it through HDMI cable to the TV and it refused to play as well. Said the TV monitor was not authorised.
What is the use of paying $30 for a movie when it wont play on any device? I'm not interested in playing a movie on my teeny ipad. I want it on the big screen.
Error message says it is locked?
I thought maybe I could burn it to DVD and then just play it in the Xbox.
Any suggestions?

I have a 2nd gen. iPod and it wont play a song I
recently downloaded (My Doorbell by The White
Stripes). What should I do? I already tried
downloading it again, and that didnt work.
I have the same issue with the same song. Itunes will play it, but my Ipod will skip several songs on the album before it starts to play.
