There are dozens of free tutorials on the web, both written and in video format.
Ripple Training has about 50 video tutorials which you can download free of charge;-

HOWEVER they are useless for beginners because all the available tutorials tend to be on interesting BUT RANDOM SUBJECTS which I believe is something you DO NOT WANT ?
I think you are probably looking for something that will take you in an orderly and logical fashion from installing FCE and setting up your camera so you can capture the footage, through all the basic processes of editing, explaining them clearly and unambiguously.
If that is the case, you cannot do better than to get one of the books suggested by Michel and written by Tom Wolsky.
It will not only enable you to master the basics quickly and easily but will take you up to a high standard of film-making competency.

    The only way to get songs on an iPhone is by synching the songs from your iTunes library, or purchasing them from the iTunes store on your phone.
    You can search yourself for sites that offer free music.

    Does anyone know what protectio Apple has for this virus that is supposed to shut us out of the internet on Monday?

    There was a security patch made available a few months ago.  So, if you're up to date, you're fine.  Here's a link to check whether or not you have any problems with that:

  • I am a residential appraiser and recently purchased an ipad4 to use for my home inspections.  Some homes are foreclose without power and I am unable to get a good picture without a flash.  Does anyone know of a flash attachment for the ipad4?

    I am a residential appraiser and recently purchased an ipad 4 to use for my home inspections.  Some homes are foreclosed poperties without power and I am unable to get a good interior picture without a flash.  Does anyone know of a flash attachment for the ipad 4? I found a flash attachment for the ipad 2, but it does not work with the ipad 4.

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

  • Does anyone know of any security protection for the IPad?

    Does anyone know of a security protection for the IPad?

    Yes, first get a good case for it to protect it from the elements, dropping, etc.
    Next, be sure to set up your free Find My iPad application for it in case it is lost or stolen.
    When carrying it around with you keep your eye on it at all times and beware of letting others walk away with it. They are very popular and stolen frequently.
    P.S. There are no iOS viruses, malware, etc. so no antivirus, antispyware, etc. apps are available.

  • HELP! Does anyone know a Data Recovery Expert for I-CIoud? -My calender disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from old I-Phone 4 to new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)

    HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Cloud & I-Phone? - My calender disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)

    HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Cloud & I-Phone? - My calendar disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)
    The Apple techs are looking. But they can't find it. Nor can they find a back up on my laptop, Evidently when I backed up my Iphone to computer the calendar wasn't syncing. Since I only use the calander on my phone - I never noticed.
    The Apple store rep that sold me the I-Phone 5 on Monday, was transferring my contacts and calendar thru I-Cloud (I never used I-Cloud before that moment - and always had it turned off). He successfully transferred the contacts - which are still on my phone), but the Calendar weirdly split into 6 calendars (2 of which were linked to my G-Mail which only had a few entries) (4 were linked to my MSN / Hotmail email and contained all the major events/data). I never created calendars that were separate or liked them to 2 different emails. I just typed entries into the I-Phone calendar. However, the calendar did exist on the new I-Phone for 24 hours. Something happened during transfer. When the Apple Genius Bar tech was attempting to back up my Calendar & merge the 6 calendars, everything disappeared in his hand while he was looking at it.
    I am hoping that some really good data recovery expert exists that can restore the calendar that was in both I-Phones yesterday. It is completely devastating if I can't recover it.
    Any help, or referrals, is great appreciated!!!!
    Thanks!

  • I am aware that the iPod Touch 5g has no official date yet, on the site it only says: Available to ship: October. But, does anyone know what a possible, date for the iPod to be released? :)

    Well, I recently checked apple.com, and the "pre-order" button has been replaced with the "buy now" button. This is a very good sign that the iPods will begin to ship soon! There is still no exact date, but I expect that they will ship within the next 3 days. You should get an email when they have shipped.
    Take care!

    Here's the steps to follow if your printer isn't turning on.   
    If you've gone through all those steps and you still don't have power, there are a lot of places that sell a replacement cord and supply for that printer.

    What calendar were you syning to? Outlook? Google? Something else? The directions on how to resync vary a bit.

  • Does anyone know what ppqryErrorList is used for in EssOtlQueryMembersEx?

    Given a calcscript, I'm wondering if I can get a list of errors back it has multiple errors (e.g. member not found, syntax error etc.) when I run EssOtlQueryMembersEx.
    I've looked at the documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_api/api_c/otlc/funcs/apcfqmex.htm) and looks like ppqryErrorList does the job for me. However, I'm getting a NULL pointer to ppqryErrorList regardless or whethere there's an error or not.
    e.g. when I call "@ICHILD(blah)" with EssOtlQueryMembersEx I'm hoping the error list (ppqryErrorList) will contain "member not found blah" but it infact returns NULL.
    This parameter on EssOtlQueryMembersEx must be there for a reason. Does anyone know what this is used for?
    Btw, I'm using Essbase 7

    Well, After Effects has a shattering effect, but I'd guess it was a 3D app that created those effects. To see what you can do with Motion, check out this thread:

    Yes, but it is absolutely critical to delete all existing preferences after upgrading to 10.9.
