FCP Do I have to keep changing capture scratch settings?

I've got a silly little question. I close w/e current project is open, create a folder in a drive (say FOLDER A), set capture scratch settings to FOLDER A, and create a new project and save it in FOLDER A too.
If I work on another project too, and do this same thing to create another project and save it in FOLDER B, when I switch between projects to work on them, do I have to change the settings each time? I may capture and import new material...
I'm migrating from PP3. The project file in PP3 used to save all these settings to a folder that could be moved to any directory.

When you first start a new project in FCP, the very first step should be to give the project a specific name. Once you've done that, FCP will automatically create folders bearing that project's name when you capture footage or render in that project.
There's no need to create the folder yourself. Once you've set the scratch disc in FCP's preferences, FCP does the rest for you.
This may help you in understanding FCP's organization: http://store.creativecow.net/p/63/gettingorganized_in_final_cutpro

HT3529 Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

If the recipient does not have an iOS device (or Mac) with iMessage activated on it, then it will send as SMS or MMS as appropriate. You don't need to change any settings.
The only time you'll run into an issue is sending to someone who used to have an iDevice and neglected to turn off iMessage when they got something else. They will have to address that so that you don't have to forcibly send messages as SMS/MMS.

I did step 2 in the "iDVD: Setting Encoding preferences" but my computer isn't giving me the pop-up in step 3 so i can't push an OK button in regards to the message. I waited 15+ hours for it to burn and it sent me to this page. I have tried to change the encoding settings again, and it adjusts the capacity but no message pop-up appears.

You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
(1) Page Info > Permissions tab
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
(2) about:permissions
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
Any luck?

HT5622 why do i have to keep changing my password?

why do i have to keep resetting my password and my credit card info is gone

Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.

Keep getting capture scratch folder in my capture scratch folder

In my system settings I have set capture scratch like this...MEDIA1:capture scratch. Of course MEDIA1 is one of my drives. But why am I getting a capture scratch folder in my capture scratch folder? Shane, I even carefully followed your instructions not to make the mistake of clicking the scratch folder. I just cannot fiqure this out.
Best,
Tom

thought i'd use this post to raise the whole issue of interface elements held over from bygone days ...
why, exactly, is this folder still referred to as a "scratch" folder. isn't the convention that "scratch" files are temporary? seems to me this is a remnant of old design where FCP 2 (i think) captured media to a temporary file and then moved it over ... modelled perhaps on photoshop's "scratch disk" temporary files? all sounds very temporary and makeshift. how about just a "final cut media" folder?
this is a bit irksome as final cut becomes more and more fussy about where it stores (and keeps) files.
end of today's musing.

Why do you keep changing my customized settings?

When I make customized preferences to the Firefox Browser, you keep changing it to what you want instead of keeping the browser look to what I have selected. Why? I even went by the steps that you have provided on your website; but, you still keep changing it to what you want. I don't appreciate it. Thanks.

Keeps saying capture scratch full but loads space on hard drive

When using capture now after 9 mins or less the capture stops and says capture scratch full. I just click ok and then click now again .it restarts capture. Anyway to capture a 90 min tape without having to stop start all the time?

When using capture now after 9 mins or less the capture stops and says capture scratch full.
This sounds suspiciously like you are using an external hard drive formatted as FAT, which has a 2GB file size limitation, which is about 9 minutes of DV video.
What drive are you using for your capture scratch, and what is it formatted as?

I changed a password to a frequesntly used site. Firefox has not asked me if I want to save this new password and I have to keep changing the saved one to the correct one. How do I get it to save the new password?

I have websites I use for my employer that require a password. The employer requires these be changed periodically. Always before, if I changed the password, about the second or third time I tried to log in and changed the saved password to the correct one, Firefox would ask if I wanted to save the new password. It is not doing this now. How can I get it to save a new password? It keeps putting in the old one.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

HT1911 Why does the Apple ID password on my iPhone never work on my iMac desktop? I have to keep changing them when I login back and forth. Why can't it recognize on either device?

It seems that every time I login on my iPhone to buy iTunes, it doesn't recognize my password and I have to change it. Then when I go to iTunes to synch, it says my password which I created on the SAME APPLE ID is invalid and I have to change it. I tried to change it to the same password each time, but still it was not recognized by the other device. Is it because I'm not on Lion or Mountain Lion? (although I seem to remember this problem happening before there was iCloud)
Thanks for any help.
Therese X.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

Something keeps changing my proxy settings

So I use a proxy to access the Internet at school, the settings for which I set in system preferences. I enter the details and tick the box saying it requires username and password details etc. I go out of that and then press apply. The trouble is, after about a minute usually a box comes up with red sign saying I need to enter my password details. Lo and behold I go back to the proxy settings, and the box I ticked a minute earlier is now unticked, and I have to do the process again. Any ideas anyone? I have had to start using Opera, which I'm not a huge fan of, because it has inbuilt proxy settings, but I can't get round not being able to access the iTunes Store etc.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Mail 5.0 keeps changing my "rules" settings

I have set my rules in Mail to send my mail to either an "archive inbox" or "archive sent" folder after 30 days. Every so often, I will realize that mail has unchecked one or both my rules in preferances without my knowlegde. I will re-check the rule box and it stays that way for a while then it automatically unchecks one of them again! (I also have to reset the "to mailbox:" each time in preferances). This is happening on both my iMac and Macbook Pro. I switched to Apple Mail just before upgrading to lion so I cannot say weather this is specifically a Lion issue. I was using Entourage before switching to Mail. This is just one of several quirky things I am experiencing with Mail. If it wasnt for the easy syncing with all my iOS devices, I'd switch back to Entourage. (I am using MobileMe, if it is a poblem with MM I cannot figure it out?) Thanks!

Hi. I am having a similar problem, except my window is about one month.
Some differences. You mentioned that you have another computer configured with POP. POP does have a setting to "remove downloaded emails after x". If POP is removing the emails from the server, your IMAP would reflect this. Check Mail > Preferences > Accounts on your POP configured machine.

Audio Capture Scratch Files Disappeared....

But not all of the audio files are missing. Can't quite figure it out as some of the originals within the same audio capture scratch folder still exist.
Any thoughts.
FYI: Things were cool until I tried to digitize some new video when a message popped up asking if I'd like to add, continue or abort from reconnecting some 26 missing files. I think I hit continue which may have erased some things. They can't be lost forever, right?
In the meantime--I've restored the project today to settings saved from when all was good yesterday. Also, have adjusted and readjusted capture scratch settings in batch capture mode. However, this provided no new results.

You can import audio files into FCE from any location
on any HD. The audio file itself could be in your
iTunes music folder but if so, I suggest making a
duplicate copy of the song file in some other folder
(your choice, your location, your folder name) to
minimize the risk of accidently messing up something
in your iTunes music folder.
You could even drag a copy of the file from the
Finder into the FCE Browser. Once it's in the FCE
Browser, you can drag the music file onto one of your
audio tracks.
The ideal format is AIFF, 16-bit, stereo, 48Khz.
Truly thanks for that. But... In order to convert the iTunes file to the above, I have to go to the iTunes Pref. window and the folder location field, click the Change button and navigate to the "project's audio media folder"... But I don't have, can't find or don't know how to make that folder. So I can't specify the destination. I'd love to drag/drop, but the format won't be AIFF, 16 bit 48kHz.
When I read the manuals instruction for importing directly from a CD, it also says to drag the files into my "project's audio media folder", so I'm back to the same problem. I guess I could try dragging from the CD directly to my browser, and I will, but even if that works for now, I need to understand what/where/how to create the audio media folder, as I fear I'm missing a basic understanding here.
And why is there no Audio Capture Scratch folder showing in the FCE doc folder? Even if this unrelated and irrelevant, I'm still puzzled about that. I'd appreciate any clues here. Thanks again.

Keep changing my password for iCloud to verify my account?

Why do I have to keep changing my iCloud password for my iPhone to verify my account? That iMac doesn't have any trouble but my iPhone keeps losing the function of anything iCloud related. Changing the password seems to fix this but why do I have to keep doing it?
Thanks for any help.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
