DVDSP4 problem-getting no help

I have DVD Studio Pro 4 on a G4 1.25 with 2 gigs of ram.
My problem is I can't get my buttons to highlight to save my life. I looked thru the forum answer data base for answers and all I got were tutorials of various lengths and quality.
I create my buttons by dragging a rectangle onto the menu and go from there. All of the coloring menus seem ok. They just will not highlight.
I have done everything I can think of that might affect the problem and no go. I even trashed the plist file thinking my preferences could somehow affect the problem.
Do I need to reinstall? How can I fix this?
This is what I've gotten so far in the DVDSP4 forum. No help at all from Creative Cow.

How do I post my project?
I have tried creating a button in PhotoShop and I can't get it to import into my project. What gives?
I have spent about seven hours trying to solve this and it is maddening.

Hi:
Try downloading this small BUTTONS/OVERLAY demo project I made for other user of these forums. You can get an idea of what are you doing wrong.
Hope that helps !

I know everyone means well here, but I'm not getting information to address my problem.
PLEASE HELP

Yes you are absolutely correct in awarding the points for a solved problem.
I have spent hours, days trying to figure out what was happening in a program I am reasonably comfortable in, but don't use as often as I would like. So I had forgotten small things I have learned in previous projects. Very frustrating.
I find it annoying that people respond to a post without fully reading or understanding what I or other people write about there issue. Even with the best of intentions. When someone does take their valuable time and do pay attention, it really pays off.
I spent hours looking thru the forums search pages and digging thru printed manuals and the PDF files of the application manual looking for something that 'might' apply.
It seems that most of the time the problem is some small item you have simply forgotten or is a minor change in the application.
I do appreciate the help and no good deed should go unrewarded.

    Hi wdriver,
    It seems like due to some unknown reason permission from the Licensing folder is removed. Please try launching any of the apps by right clicking and select Run as an Administrator, it should fix the issue by doing that.

    My ipad is connected to my wifi, however when i try to sign my ipad into facetime is says that it is having trouble connecting. I use my wifi to get on the internet on my iPad so i have no idea what the problem is. Help Me

    - Did it successfully connect to the network before?
    - Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
    - Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    - Have you reset your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Powered off and then back on your router
    - The troubleshooting here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    -When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod?  If not try that.
    - If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection.  If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

    I cannot find the next and previous button in iTunes get info menu?
    Is there anyone that has also experienced this problem that can help me please
    I have the lates version of Itunes

    I have managed to figure out how to solve this problem, after looking around I saw a lot of people kept saying makesure it is list view however this still did not work, I found the only way for me get these buttons back was to change the Movie to a TV Show and only then did the "Next" and "Previous" button appear. Right Click> Get Info > Options > Media Kind and then Select TV Show, this is extremely inconvienent but the only way that I found that has worked so far.
    Hope this works for you too!!

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
    in response to Johannes666
    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Problems getting selected values from HtmlSelectManyCheckbox

    Hello,
    I am having problems getting values via getSelectedValues() from my HtmlSelectManyCheckbox component. The method returns an object array but the values are the same as the initial selectItems property.
    JSP:
    <h:selectManyCheckbox id="checkBox"
        binding="#{userEditBean.manyCheckbox}"
        value="#{userEditBean.groupIds}"
        layout="pageDirection">
      <f:selectItems value="#{userEditBean.allGroups}"/>
    </h:selectManyCheckbox>
    <h:commandButton action="#{userEditBean.ok}"     value="OK"/>Bean:
    public class UserEditBean extends BaseBean {
        private HtmlSelectManyCheckbox manyCheckbox = new HtmlSelectManyCheckbox();
        private String[] groupIds= {};
        private List allGroups = new ArrayList();
        public String[] getGroupIds() {
                groupIds= backing.getSomeIds();
                return groupIds;
        public void setGroupIds(String[] ids) {
            this.groupIds= ids;
        public HtmlSelectManyCheckbox getManyCheckbox() {
            return manyCheckbox;
        public void setManyCheckbox(HtmlSelectManyCheckbox newC) {
            this.manyCheckbox = newC;
        public List getAllGroups() {
            allGroups = backing.getAllGroups();
            return allGroups;
        public void setAllGroups(List newList) {
            this.allGroups = newList;
        public String ok() {
            Object o = manyCheckbox.getSelectedValues();
        }The problem is, the getSelectedValues() returns the values from the initial state of the page. The is no mark of the changes made by the user. Any help will be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Matek

    Your approach is somewhat odd. The selected values are just reflected in the groupIds, but you're overridding it with backing.getSomeIds() each time when the getter is called.
    Here is a basic working example:<h:selectManyCheckbox value="#{myBean.selectedItems}">
        <f:selectItems value="#{myBean.selectItems}"/>
    </h:selectManyCheckbox>
    <h:commandButton value="submit" action="#{myBean.action}" />MyBeanprivate List<String> selectedItems;
    private List<SelectItem> selectItems;
    // + getters + setters
    // You can use initialization block or constructor to prepopulate the selectItems.
        selectItems = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
    //or
    public MyBean() {
        selectItems = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
    public void action() {
        // The selected items are reflected in selectedItems.
        for (String selectedItem : selectedItems) {
            System.out.println(selectedItem);
    }

  • I just bought a new 2TB time capsule and I am so frustrated that I cant get any help!!!!!

    Yesterday, I bought a new (4th gen) 2TB TC to replace by mid 2007 500gb TC. I did this simple to upgrade the wirelass capability to the very latest as the wifi in our home is intermittent. I also bought a Zepplin recently so that i could use Airplay to stream music but the wifi is also intermittent, it works when it wants to and not usually when when i want it too!! Hence the purchase of a new TC for £249.
    The instructions on the Apple site and in the instruction book all say it is so easy to set up the TC and the wireless network.
    So here I am , 24 hours later and frustrated at having spent hours and hours and gotten no-where. Ive logged calls with Apple Support and even though I am sat by the phone they keep emailing me saying they've tried to reach me and if I still need help then to rearrange a call!! But I'm here!!!
    Here's my problem (apart from the desire to take the TC back and get a refund)...
    - when I open Airport Utility (6.2), I get a picture that shows the world and the word Internet with a line to the time capsule but all the instructions that I have found and read say that I should get a dialogue box that lists the devices on the left hand side. The instructions with the TC say I open AU and follow the instructions and prompts - what instructions and prompts, there arnt any!!!
    - also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
    - there is no option to extend the wireless network
    - every now and then the TC light goes Yellow and airport utility "looses" the TC
    - TC seems to want to back up the entire MAC (c350gb) but it is doing so at a very slow speed and only did about 2.5gb over night. I dont mind a whole new backup to the new TC but it cant be right that it will take 19 days (the last time I looked!)
    My main frustration is that the so-called simple instructions dont seem to replate at all to my system and I'm frustrated because I dont know where to go to get any help....and if Apple email me one more time to say they cant reach me then I will definately take the TC back!!
    Can anyone help me?
    p.s. sorry for the rant, i though this would be a half hour job to upgrade my wirelass and is turning into a nightmare!

    Unfrotunately, this sounds like a dead TC.
    - also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
    - there is no option to extend the wireless network
    You need to reconfigure the Expresses to rejoin the TC's network via a factory reset.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
