Firing event once a specified media time is reached. Please help!!

Hi all. I'm a student and a project I'm doing involves JMF. I can't find anyone to help me on this one so please help.
What I'm trying to do is to do some action (for a simple example, just print something out) once the video has been played for a certain time.
For example, at media time of 40 seconds I want to print out a text. How I can achieve this? I can't find any types of events associated with ControllerListener to assist me. I also tried setting a stop time for the clock but the video wouldn't stop playing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Here's some part of my code...
else if (event instanceof PrefetchCompleteEvent) {
           player.start();
        player.setStopTime(new Time(questiontime.get(0).doubleValue()));   //i want to pop a question at a specified time
}else if (event instanceof StopAtTimeEvent) {
       popupquestion();
} The question won't pop up and the video won't stop...

Thanks for the suggestion...
I just got back from the Apple Store for the second visit with the Mac Genius to try to resolve the problem.
First visit we trashed the iMovie 11 application and reinstalled iMovie and ran a software update. Upon relaunching we were pleased that all projects and events ran perfectly from both the HD and the Drobo.
After lugging my 27" iMac back home and restarting it the same problem appeared. I returned to the Apple store for a second visit. This time I left the iMac at the store overnight. The apple service guys were able to duplicate the problem and wiped my hard drive. There appears to be a bug with iMovie 11 (not confirmed) and an elevated report was submitted to Apple engineers.
I am leaving my "old" projects and events on the external drive unless I need to import them. I am not going to restore from back up and will use a "clean" version of iMovie11. No guarantees the problem won't come back. This issue consumed a TON of my time.... hopefully Apple can fix iMove11.

Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

Do you mean that all changes you made to your files are lost, or do you mean that changes to your preferences are lost? For example, pick any small file, make a copy of it, and put the copy on your Desktop. After rebooting, is the copy still there?

Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Lost all event files -- can't locate them anywhere. Please help.

All of my work has just disappeared. Please help if you can. I'll describe my steps to help you understand what occurred.
1. I was working in an event folder with a name "New Event 7-17-09." There were numerous videos inserted as cutaways and other elements.
2. On two occasions I had error messages that a video was not able to copy in. I noticed a half black-half gray icon. I re-generated the videos. The first time I had quit iMovie and relaunched, only to find that all of my source videos were gone from the event pane. I had to re-import them.
3. Just now it happened again. I was afraid to quit and lose the video again so I took a chance and clicked on another event date and tried to import this video that couldn't be copied. Well, it copied okay. HOWEVER, the event date I was working in, "New Event 7-17-09," has now disappeared completely. And again -- all of the source videos are gone when I click around in the project pane. The videos only now exist in the work folder they were imported from...not from within iMovie. They are not in the Movie folder.
4. I checked "Show Contents" and there are no project files in there.
So I am left with a project pane but no event pane with all of these source files. I have lost, in essence, all of my work.
I didn't delete anything, I didn't move anything. I just clicked once in a different event pane, and then all of what I had was gone.
Can you please tell me where else I can look?
Does this program utilize some kind of strange file system or something?
Any help you can offer is very much appreciated.

Timemachine is one of the most underestimated (english?) features of 10.5.
It is as simple as that (a no-click application )
and it is not just a backup of 'all', you can select down to a single file, what to be recovered..
speaking of TBs: I have 3 iPhoto Libs (~20k pics), Timemachine backups on the hour, and I do manually 'clone' twice a year onto a 3rd HDD... -
when hopefully this year I switch from tape to SDcard video, I'll spend another 100€ on the next TB-drive.. latest offer in the papers here: 1TB=66€..
long term storage IS an issue in these 'digital times' ... - future historians will call it the 'Black Hole in History' => no documents of this period in time, due to 'data loss' ...- any cheap paperback lasts longer than any digicam still/video..

Adobe media encoder error message - please help

I purchased adobe creative suite 4 web standard in january of 2010. I'm in the process of learning how to use all the features. I am building a website in dreamweaver and wanted to create and import a flash movie. I opened adobe media encoder from my program files. I added an avi file to the encoder, chose a medium quality for web, and clicked Start Queue. I then got the following pop up error message:

HT201263 I do not want to lose my data/media... Please help

Hi,
I just came back from a trip and tried sync'd my iphone to my itunes on my mac. I have been doing this for months to add music and files between both devices. The phone has been telling me for months that I need to buy/add more space, but I was able to get by. I have not done a backup because everytime I tried it told me I needed to buy/add more space. I've already spent tons of money on Apple products and I really did not want to buy more space when I could easily delete files I no longer needed. (Which I did regularly) For strange reason I selected "update" or something along those lines last night (ACCIDENTALLY) and now my phone refuses to work.
I did some googling and realized this is very problematic. I now run the risk of losing all of the media and images on my phone if I do decide to Restore. Is this avoidable?
I have another Genius bar appointment at 7:45pm. I fear they will tell me I MUST hit restore and then I'll lose some very valuable images and videos that I've recently recorded/documented. Is there no way for them to back up my files and house them somewhere? Can I do this on my own?
Please help.

Apple is not trying to make things difficult and expensive. They have tried to make it as simple as possible by providing multiple ways to back up your device automatically, and have apparently been warning you for quite some time that it was not happening. Finding a fix for that did not require you to purchase any more storage space from Apple, you could have easily set it up to back up to your computer at any time.
The companies that make data recovery software do not sell it cheaply. Why? Because their target market is people who are desparate to recover what they just messed up.
Don't blame Apple for your own failures. They gave you ways to back it up. You did not do so.
What would you have done if you'd dropped the phone in a sink full of water or dropped it down the stairs? would that be Apple trying to make things difficult and expensive as well?

Time Machine Error - please help!

My dad has been having trouble with his Time Machine backups. I'm trying to trouble shoot, but can't seem to solve the issue. Whenever we run a backup we get the message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume" It happens fairly quick after we run a TM backup. Here's what we've done:
1. Repaired permissions on the internal drive (several times)
2. Started a brand new TM set-up and back up.
3. Erased and reformatted the external TM drive
4. Tried an entirely different external drive as the TM drive
5. Trashed the/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and restarted
6. Downloaded the Time Machine Buddy widget to see if that reveals anything. Here's the error message:

Hi Pondini -
thanks for the reply. Your troubleshooting User Tips was what I was referring to all along. I've seemed to have resolve the issue, however, by means of a far simpler solution. I noticed just recently that although the external TM hard drive seemed to have no apparent issues when verified and repaired with Disk Utility, it did hang up and produce some Error messages when simply trying to copy large files manually over with the Finder (not using TM). This caused me to think that maybe it was not TM, but rather something wrong with the data being copied (corrupt files) or the actual drive enclosure. It wasn't the actual hard drive inside, as I had earlier swapped the original drive in the enclosure with a drive that I knew was OK and the problem still occurred. I then noticed that the drive enclosure was connected to the computer via a Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 adapter cable (the enclosure has only FW800 port and the older imac has only FW400 ports - my dad had purchased that specialty cable). When I had earlier swapped drives to check the actual drive, I kept the same cable connection. I now tried reconnecting the drive with a simple USB cable - and wallah! - all my Finder copying worked and Time Machine copying seems to be going fine. SO it seems that the actual FW cable connection was causing issues???? TM is still chugging away at the moment (first copy - large amount of data), but seems to be doing fine. Is there anyway I could have gotten a clue that the problem was something so simple as a bad cable. Is FW more buggy than USB. Maybe those that adapter cables are buggy. I've always preferred FW as I thought it was the faster more reliable method of external HD connection - but maybe USB is a better choice. Obviously here it is. Thanks for the help.

Pre8 won't link to/recognize files in Media tab of Organizer - please help

Today I opened a project that I have been working on and it would not link to some or all of the files that have previously loaded successfully on numerous occasions. The project asked me to locate the files, and when I did, it said they could not be linked because they'd been created with one audio track and now had two. However, these were the exact same files that I've been working with, and have not changed them at all. When I did open the project (it was unrendered even though it had been previously rendered) the files were still in the sceneline and timeline and in the project section of the organizer tab, and appear to work in the movie, but do not show up visibly in the media section, where I just get icons but can't see the image.
This appears to be a problem with my program, because I opened older projects and even created a new one to test with, and same problem with loadng media. It will load, but won't recognize, and when I try to drag into the project,it opens a dialog box asking where the file is, but won't take it.
The only thing that I did immediately preceding this was last night, I tried to load an itunes mp4 audio file into the project, but it wouldn't take because it said the file type was not supported or the codec was wrong.
Please help with this. Could the program be corrupted? If so, how can I fix and not lose the projects I have made?
Thanks, Michael

Going back some years, I tried using USB externals for editing to/from, but found two problems:
1.) frequent read/write errors, usually delayed write failures. Many others were having the same problems.
2.) the speed was so horribly slow.
I then went with FW-400, and got no read/write errors, but the speed, though faster, was still too slow for me. When FW-800 came out, I experimented with these, and have been using them ever since. Now, eSATA would be even quicker.
I wonder if you suffered from some errors on the USB drive. I'd first use G-Spot, a free utility, to check the audio in your files, to see how many channels are shown there. If you find that the files are now showing a single channel, instead of two, you might be able to convert the files with a program like Prism, or DigitalMedia Converter, to 2-channel. You'd want to Move your source files to another folder, and then convert to the same file names back in your source folder.
One tip on using externals: in your OS, you can set your drive letters. These will always be assigned the same, based on the drive's I.D., so that F:\ is always F:\, and G:\ is always G:\, regardless of what else is plugged in, and the order they are turned on. This will keep PrE from asking where is file xxxx.avi, etc.
Good luck,
