Fear of QT
After the countless horror stories about QT 7 - and the fact Apple
is quickly posting methods of reverting - I have some questions.
I use FCP 4.5, and originally went to QT 7 and 10.3.9 around the same time.
And all **** broke loose, I was unable to get video out of the Mac.
Even after trashing the prefs, etc. Did all the workarounds. Even stumped the gurus at the Chicago user group.
So, I went back to 10.3.7 and QT 6.5.2 and everything is fine.
Is QT 7 safe yet? As per usual, the list of reasons to upgrade
are growing, but I am not going to grab that carrot yet.
Is it possible to rename my QT folder so an install of
7 will not overwrite 6.5.2???
Opinions please, and thanks in advance!
I've had problems with QT 7.0. I reinstalled back QT 6.5.2 and it was OK. Later on I had to reformat my drives and reinstall the OS. When I upgraded all my applications it also upgraded the QT to 7.0... and for my surprise there were no more problems. Strange...

I have two iTunes accounts and was wondering if i can merge them together. I've a new macbook pro and haven't plugged my iPhone in it yet in fear of losing my songs from the previous account.
Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost. -
I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!
Welcome to the Discussion Forums
It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally. -
As I can sometimes do, I did not read the directions before delving into LR. Now I find my self with image history in LR on 2 or 3 of my HD's. I would like to now consolidate it on one HD but fear in doing so I will lose the images I have created within LR. Is there a tutorio or some other way to get me back on track with this application?
Your image history (if I understand you properly) is stored in your catalog file, and nowhere else, and so it is only on a single drive.
Do you mean you have edited photos on multiple drives? This isn't a problem for Lightroom at all, the software doesn't care, and you can leave things just the way they are. But if it bothers you for some reason, you can move the photos to a single drive if you want. In Lightroom select the desired photos or folders (it's easier to do this using Folders) and drag them to the desired drive.
Alternative if you will be moving lots of folders: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders -
A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distressIf she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up. -
Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. . Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.
Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I have lost my iPad. I fear it has fallen into wrong hands. How do I block access remotely?
I have lost my ipad at a supermarket. I fear it has been taken. I would like to retrace it and/or block access to it as soon as possible. I am not sure if I activated "find my ipad," before it was lost. It is linked and synced with my MacbookPro. It is wifi activated and has a micro simcard which is also acrive.
Go to icloud.com on your computer and see if you can locate it, as explaned here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. It will only work if you have Find My iPad enabled, and it has a connection to the internet with your settings unchanged. You have the option to lock it or erase it remotely if it can be tracked (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165). However, if you erase it you will no longer be able to track it.

hello, I want to know if will lose my apps if I upgrade to Mavericks? I I have Snow Leopard, and I have not because I have fear of losing my apps
You will only lose Power PC apps.
To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mavericks.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -

I cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downloads and fear that I have accidentally deleted what is needed to open photos/movies. Any suggestions please? Should re-install the whole Office:mac program, and is it easy to do this without disturbing what I have on my computer?
When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .). -
So, my worst fear came true,
I've droped my ihpone in the toilet and it was off. It went off before was able to pick it up.
I've tried to dry it in rice and after two days it won't turn on , the only thing that does turn on is the flash.
I want to know if i should send it to repair or if i should forget it cause it doesn't worth.
Is there any tip?"It is most likely fried. You can exchange it for an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store."
how does this works ? -
hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?
Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.

I received photoshop elements 11 as a gift 2 years ago. I am fearful that I have lost the serial number. I have the box and the sleeve but neither have a serial number. I have installed the trial version, but hope I can add a serial number. Any suggestions?
If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

Irrational fear of scriplets - revisited
hey all this is a continuation of a very long thread that begins here
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=318105. (if you read it, remember to post any continuations on this thread.
My basic contention is that small scriptlets which do things like get values from beans, or do simple conditionals are fine and that forcing people to use the tag libraries which do these things is not productive. For the record, I advocate MVC, I advocate good architecture, But the debate about tags vs WELL-DESIGNED scriplets usage (i.e. a line or two which call a bean or regular java class, or just does a loop over some collection)is not about architecture it about syntax, and the ethereal concept of readability. (And fear.)
Why do they exist then?
Managers want to make the sofware development process faster and cheaper. Architects somewhere along the line have sold them the notion that a syntax that has carets in it is somehow easier to learn (dumb manager says, "hey that looks like HTML, must be just as easy", sleazy tag salesman says,"oh yeah, it is. Your dog could do web apps now"). The management team then thinks about the savings they could reap with pound puppies. The big flaw in all this is that these tags are not easier to understand than the scriplet which would do the same thing. Why invest time in learning this library of arcane Collection management tags, when a scriplet would just be standard java. Standard Java is here to stay, the Expression Language (EL) and some of the more pointless libraries are a little more "iffy", and consequently not as big an asset to ones' skill set.
Detractors of this argument would say that these tags are intended for "nonprogrammers" or "GUI Developers", but, I'm sorry, once your dealing with hierarchies of objects with the collections tags, your programming. Like it or not. So why not use a real programming language. When james gosling invented java why didn't he do the whole thing with tags, if they're so readable? Also remember that any decent html developer, also knows javascript. How far really is the leap from javascript, to the small amount of java required to call an java class from a scriplet? One of my good hearted compatriots in the original thread suggested that The leap is too far because java is a typed language and javascript is not. Come on, that just doesn't fly. So they should read the chapter on objects, types, and casting. And then come in the next day and get to work. Whatever mental facility would need to be in place to learn the small amount of java to access a class in a scriptlet also must be in place to learn EL and collections tags. Now they're becoming java programmers and maybe architects feel they must continually reinforce the notion in the minds of management that there is an unbending hierarchy of programmers and that some people could just never do certain things. This attitude is necessary to maintain the hierarchy at the top of which the Architect presides. I guess from the management perspective, I would be upset if I taught all my html developers, java and then they all wanted more money cause now they're java developers. But then again, from the human being perspective I don't like to see the careers of others actively stunted. And besides management should have the foresight to see the possible glut of new java programmers would force rates down. It's a win-win-lose, the loser is the Architect whose rate could drop due to more java programmers being around. But he was already a loser. This argument is almost a moot point. Every project I've been on has java developers doing the pages anyway.
I realize that in spite of all these arguments, architects will still maintain the status quo, categorizing the potential of other people into hierarchies of their liking. It's like dealing with Liberals. The main argument always seems to return to readability assertion which is rarely ever challenged, except in private by those who don't want to appear "stupid" by challenging the orthodoxy of their industry. I, However have no problem appearing stupid. And do it quite well, sometimes. Maybe I'm doing it now. I do allow that I could be totally wrong. Someone convince me.
I always held the Unix, Linux, Java world in high regard because they refused to participate in the "Dumb it Down", "Hide The Details" approach that their major rival sells. (Tags are not really even a dumb down in my opinion).
And the parting question. Is there a way of objectively determining readability? Who determines readability?
p.s. check out this thread about a developers frustration with EL and then think about how much easier the scriplet solution would be.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=304696Hi once again jfoltz2.
Trying to raise this topic again I see. Good on you. As you know (from my postings on the original thread), I very much sympathise with you regarding the 'irrational fear of scriptlets' that seems to have infected a substantial number of JSP developers.
It was a pity the original thread died, because while there were some quite strongly held beliefs that TAGLIBS were the bees knees. By the end there were a number of others expressing caution about blind adoption TAGLIBS (mostly from smaller teams/organizations I noticed). It's not so much that TAGLIBS are bad per se, but that they are not a panacea. I particularly enjoyed jlusk4's posting (the final one) which summarised many of my views and concerns too (hope you rediscover the thread jlusk4).
The original thread also strongly re-enforced concerns I have about just how poorly integrated our web tools/languages are. While the details may be different for each user and application, I don't think it would be uncommon for developers of interactive web sites to use Java/JSP/TAGLIBS/XML/Databases/etc on the Server side and HTML/Javascript/DHTML/CSS/Flash/Java/etc on the Client side. Each with it's own quirks and limitations. They are far from seamlessly integrated.
When you consider all the different browsers, browser revisions, differences in implementation between core browsers technologies (e.g. Javascript), container engines (e.g. tomcat), etc. It is clear that developing interactive web sites is difficult and not without pain, in fact it's rather surprising that it works at all. The multiplicity of languages and tools is, in my view, unnecessarily complex and cumbersome and breeds a culture of gurus and wizards (which isn't very helpful either). In short it wastes time, energy and money.
Okay I've gone slightly off topic, so I'll try and bring it back on track. Clearly scriptlets don't help reduce the complexity of integration, but TAGLIBS don't add anything magical either. There simply represent an alternative band-aid/plaster to a more fundamental problem. We should keep this in mind when we're debating whether scriptlets vs TAGLIBS.
Finally, from a sociological point of view, the original thread was interesting, because it demonstrated just how strongly people hold their beliefs about software design (myself included). Holding strong opinions is fine so long as you understand the others point of view and are willing to accept that you might be wrong. From that basis you can make a balanced judgement, for YOUR own work area. Being a zealot helps no one, not even yourself.
Having said that I have to confess that I am a zealot in one way. I'm intolerant of the intolerant.
Anyone want to take the bait ?
Cheers,
Jason.
