Find feature not working properly in FCP 7?

Logged a bunch of clips in FCP7 for an interview-based project with letter-grades based on quality/usability of response.
For example, "talks about effectiveness of campaign and results. a"
The "a" at the end to represent that the clip is good and will be used in the final project. The problem is that when we use the "find all" feature within final cut, sorting by "log note" and "ends with" - it will not generate any results. Any pointers as to how we can implement a grade-based logging system that works with the find feature? or better yet, how to ensure "ends with" will pull the all clips graded with a certain letter?
Thanks!

Have you considered using the label function or one of the comment columns in the browser?

"Filter Finder Items" not working properly

I'm taking my first crack at Automator, and while I've made good progress, one of the built-in actions, "Filter Finder Items", is just not behaving predictably. Basically, I'm doing the following:
1) Get selected finder items - pulls a selected folder
2) Set variable - this gives me a variable for the name of the folder we're working with
3) Create a new folder inside the selected folder
4) Get folder contents of selected folder
5) Filter for three different file extensions - here's where my problem starts
6) Move the filtered files into the new subfolder (though it really seems to be copying, which necessitates the following steps to get rid of the original files)
7) Get contents of selected folder again
8) Filter on the same three files extensions - this time it works properly
9) Move filtered files to Trash
For some reason, the first filter action doesn't seem to be working at all - if I have 15 files in the selected folder, but only three that match the filter, all 15 will be copied to the new subfolder. The second folder action will then, inexplicably, work exactly as it should and move the proper files to the Trash.
Does anybody know why this action doesn't want to cooperate? Has anybody else seen something similar?
Thanks for any hints/help.

Saving the workflow as an application should be all that is needed, but the first action (the one that gets the items to work with) may not be correct for your usage. If the first action is *Get Selected Finder Items*, unfortunately the selection would be the application itself, since that is what was most recently selected.
In this case, the application can be dragged onto the Finder's toolbar (where it will work with the current selection), otherwise the first action can be removed and the application used as a droplet (items dropped onto the application are passed to the workflow) or a Finder plugin.
The first action can also be replaced with an *Ask for Finder Items* action (ignoring input).

Ipod feature not working properly.

The Ipod feature on the 3GS phone stops playing during a song change but is still showing continuous play. Anybody seen this..have a solution?

did you already try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this does not work, try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

Finder window not working properly

This only just started happening, and it only seems to be happening to one or two folders...
First of all, this is what it looks like
as you can see, the file names look funky.
Also, if I edit a picture or delete one, it doesn't register the change unless I exit the folder and bring it back up.
Anyone know what's going on here and how I can fix it? This also happened when I tried to make a ringtone a few weeks back. I am running Yosemite.

Also, I just tried clicking on the sidebar (I tried applications, desktop, and documents) and it will not navigate away from this window. If I exit the window and open a different finder window, it works. So what is it about this particular folder?

Library find feature not working correctly?

Greetings,
My library contains images with filenames such as: CRW_1893.CRW, CRW_1894.CRW, CRW_1895.CRW, IMG_2059.JPG, IMG_2075.JPG.
If I use the Find feature, search by Filename, specify Containing, and key in 1893 in the search field - an image will be found.
If I do the same and key in W_1893 - nothing is found.
If I do the same and key in _1893 - nothing is found.
Is this a bug, is there a problem with underscore character in filenames, or am I missing something?
Thanks so much,
Bob
PS: PC version, Windows Vista, 2GB RAM, 30K+ image library

Underscore is used by LR for something else. They are trying to rectify this. Don't know when.

New 'resume' feature not working properly

Hi All!
As there does not seem to be a manual for Lion, I am hoping someone can answer the following questions for me:
I have assigned various applications to different desktops (spaces). Unfortunately, after a system restart, these are not restored to their assigned desktops, but all open in desktop 1. I think the 'resume' idea is great, but this kind of spoils it for me. Am I just doing something wrong?
Also, Lion does not remember whether an application was closed or open. It will just open any 'active' application to a full window, which is also kind of annoying. So, yes, resume is an interesting feature, but unless Lion remembers the exact state the app was in before restart, it is completely useless.
I am hoping that I am just missing something like a setting or such, and that one of you has already found out how to change it.
Thanks,
Sib.

Great New User works!
I don't have one, so I'm not certain what to look for, but MOST of the User stuff is kept in...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/
One interesting one that I find is..
Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.keyboardtype.0003930b0244.plist
Likely the numbers before .plist will be different on yours, try dragging that, (those), file(s) to the desktop, (we can drag them back later if need be).
Then log out and back in, might have to you Keyboard setup or the Control Panel to setup the KB again.

Dim Display feature not working properly

When I first got my 8330 a few days ago, the display dimming feature worked just fine. Now, with Backlight Brightness set to 100 and Backlight Timeout set to 30 seconds, when I toggle "Automatically Dim Backlight" to ON, the display dims as soon as I save the configuration. It stays dimmed continuously from that point on. To get back to normal I have to toggle the "Automatically Dim Backlight" to OFF, but then it just stays on full brightness for the 30 seconds.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I never thought of that. Ithink that should work, I'll let you know if theres anyproblems. Along a similar line of thought why is it that when I insert aUDA using a load rule, and the option for 'Allow UDA Changes' ischecked in dDimension Build Settings, why does it not overwrite theprevious UDA, instead it creates duplicates, or three or fourcopies of the UDA I'm trying to load. However if I uncheck"Allow UDA Changes" and have "Allow PropertyChanges" it will overwrite the UDA? Is that a known bugin the system?

"Edit templates" feature not working properly for web apps in Dreamweaver CS6?

This is along with the web apps tag list not appearing in the Data tab of the Business Catalyst side palette.
However, it works fine with the existing announcement module.
Is this feature unavailable for use with web apps, or am I doing something wrong?

Hello Daniel,
a similar problem has been reported in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4784051#4784051
We have a bug that prevents correct web app matching if the web app name contains ' ' (space), + (plus), '(', ')', '[', ']' .
In order to work around the bug please remove space, plus or parentheses from the webapp name.

ITunes 'Up Next'-feature not working properly

With the new iTunes 11 update, I started using 'Up next' regularly. It's a nice feature, I think, as it allows me to quickly make 'on the fly' playlists (mostly full albums).
To me, the subtle difference between 'play next' and 'add to up next' is also very likeable.
It appears to me the feature has some minor flaw or is still bugged in this new iTunes version.
My problem is as follows:
Whilst playing songs from album X, I want to add another album Y to the 'on the fly' playlist by clicking 'Add to up next'. Album Y would sometimes be added in a 'play next' manner, on top the current play queue.
The rest of album X would then be played AFTER album Y (album Y being visible in up next as 'Back to: ...' )
This is the exact same effect as the 'play next' option has!!!
I need the second album to be added AFTER album X, as the up next feature normally does.
Curiously, this does not happen everytime. Sometimes 'adding to up next' seems to work just fine, adding songs at the end of the queue. And I also haven't found the source of this flaw (eg. where I would add the songs from: in album view, in artist view, from search results,...) as it occured in all of the mentioned situations.
Anyone who can help me with this? Is it something I'm doing wrong or is it indeed a bug in iTunes?

I think the issue has to do with how the rest of the list is constructued. I noticed that when I am playing on shuffle from a playlist, and add specific songs, they are added at the start. However, when after that, I add more songs, they are added after the previous songs, but before the "shuffle" resumes. This at least is how it has been for me consistently.
An issue I have with Up next, which may be related, is that when I add a song which I don't want to hear next, I will drag it and drop it somewhere in the list of songs that itunes picked randomly out of my list, it disappears. Surely, when I drop it, it will be there, it will stay there when I close the list and check again, however, when the current song is finished and the next one starts, this song is completely gone again. Very weird...
One of the posts in this topic set me on the path to the solution, which is not dragging my added songs down, but move the shuffled songs up. Then everything seems to be working fine, strange enough. So, when I want to hear two songs soon, but not directly after eacht other (say I want 8 songs in between, for example because they are by the same singer and I want it to sound like it is random), I need to add those two songs. And then instead of moving the second song downwards, I need to move 8 songs upwards....

Finder is not working properly mac osx 10.8.4

Hello,
Just recently Finder has stopped behaving as it normally would. Clicking the icon doesn't seem to launch the finder window. I have to right click the finder icon and then click New Finder Window. Sometimes there is no response for sometime and then finally it does open a window.
Can anybody please help me out?
thanks
Sonny

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Notes feature not working properly

Sinec I've had this iPod, the notes feature on it has been a little wonky. When there are no notes, the Instructions file appears and is read fine. When I start putting small plain text files into the iPod's notes folder, the notes feature would read "no notes". I would have to keep hard resetting to get the notes to appear.
I took it to a Genius Bar and we tried loading the Mac version of the latest iPod nano 3G update and the notes appeared every single time we reset the iPod. I go home and reload the Windows version and boom, the problem appears again. This leads me to believe there's a glitch with Notes in the Windows version of the software.
Any ideas?

Droid's "Direct Dial Feature" not working properly....

When I try to add a direct dial to my phone's home screen or on the dock (I use Launcher Pro Plus), it brings up a list of contacts, but it doesn't show all my contacts. For example, I can add my phone's voicemail, my house, parents' house, wife's cell, etc. But it doesn't show my father's cell phone # (they are all in my contacts list).
Anyone else have this problem/solutions?

hi cheryl - your first link works great for me on mac/firefox, pc/firefox and pc/ie6 - that's the one i would use:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=250430714
the fact that it doesn't work on your system might have something to do with the settings you chose when you installed itunes - when you click the link it is supposed to open itunes, but if itunes can't be located i believe a browser page / window should appear telling you itunes could not be found with an option to launch the application manually.
Cheers,
Betty

Finder is not working properly mac osx 10.7.4 it no longer launches a new window when I click the finder icon - I have to right click and open a new window

Hi
Just recently Finder has stopped behaving as it normally would. Clicking the icon doesn't seem to launch the finder window. I have to right click the finder icon and then click New Finder Window. Sometimes there is no response for sometime and then finally it does open a window. If I click finder when a wondow is open it does not shift focus to finder anymore. I am sure this did not use to be the case?
PS. not sure if this is how to put things on the forum as haven't used them before!
Julian

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

Finder doesn't work properly after waking up from sleep?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion installed on it. It travels back and forth from home to work with me, and at work I plug it in to an Apple Display. When I leave work, I put the laptop to sleep and take it home. At home, when it wakes up from sleep, the finder does not work properly. Often, I cannot see any finder windows, and mission control does not show my various desktops, and only shows open applications. I have already tried throwing away the com.apple.finder.plist file, and it did not help.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yes, change your display / colour profile to a different (or the default) profile. Has worked for myself, and many others on other forums.
Hope that helps...
