For those of you Struggling with videos!

Even though i had been using the videora converter my videos were playing as songs, with only the artwork picture instead of the video. Well to change this so that you are able to view the video and hear the sound all you have to do is go to video settings and change the

For those of you who have the "Perfect Timing" ringtone from the commercial

I posted this in the plain 'ol phone forum but haven't got a response yet. I hope I get one here.
For those of you who have the ringtone from the iPhone TV commercial -- do you remember what portion of the song (or can you check in iTunes) you used for the actual ringtone? If you could tell me the counter (in seconds and minutes) that you started and ended your tone at, that would be great. I'm trying to get it exactly like the commerical but I don't think I have it just right. Thanks! By the way the song is called "Perfect Timing."

"I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer."
...and you're surprised that you had installation issues with iTunes? This makes me wonder whether others who report problems installing iTunes have computers that are equally infected! For reference, I just checked the logs from the last Malwarebytes scan (I run an automated scan twice a week) on my main iTunes system (on which, like the other iTunes instances I run, never seems to suffer from any installation issues) - zero issues

For those of you waiting...

Just an FYI for those of you that are waiting for Merom, it may not be worth it. Although the chip is 64-bit the chipset that is currently out is still only 32. The Santa Rosa chipset is due to come out in the spring which will be 64-bit. Could be why Apple isn't upgrading, they aren't in to "tricking you" like everyone else. So for those of you waiting thinking it will come out any day now, think again. The good news is that even if you don't get a 64 bit system it is going to take a long time for you so really need one since software would still have to catch up.

Bsmit007 is right about 40-bit real support in Core 2 Duo's. However, the thing is that with a pseudo 64-bit support it would be possible to run Windows XP 64-bit OS as well as 64-bit Vista. I'm sure Mac OSX is much better, but I need flexibility with running all sorts of programs. I'm currently looking for a laptop to buy, and have some doubts whether I should wait for Core 2 Duo or not. It's not about performance (which will be just 5% - 7% faster in real life apps), it's rather about the hassle I'll have at the time of the next upgrade.
My question is what chipsets current MBP's motherboards are running on and whether the CPU has a BGA or PGA Socket-M interfase?(which allows to change the CPU). For example, if it's an Intel 945GM or PM chipset, then I could buy MBP now, and in half a year time swap the CPU for Core 2 Duo along with other upgrades, such as memory, HDD and etc.

Looking for one...

For those of you using two hard drives..........

I have two hard drives, and really want to set them up properly so that logic is running on the main drive, and the secondary drive is for audio/samples etc. So for those of you that have done this, what is the best way? Specifically -
1. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder need to go on the secondary drive?
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive? Is it just a matter of moving them and then redirecting logic when it can't find the files?
Your input on the best way to utilize two drives is most appreciated - what has worked for you, and what hasn't.

. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder
need to go on the secondary drive?
Leave the instruments folder where it is, and put your samples folder on the external drive.
You can alias the instruments folder to whereever you want, but you don't really get any performance advantages doing so.
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you
re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive?
Two things to note - you don't need to do anything. When the EXS24 loads an instrument, if the samples are not at the location specified in the instrument, it will search for them, and when it finds them, it will write the new location back to the instrument so next time it won't have to search.
So, if you've moved your sample folders, the first time you access an instrument it will take some time to load while Logic hunts for the samples. Subsequent loads of that instrument will be as fast as ever.
Now, you can use the Project Manager (or Redmatica's EXSManager) to do this relinking for you across multiple instruments or your whole library.
In the PM, do an expanded scan. Then, select your instruments, and choose the "resolve samples" function - Logic will relink instruments with their samples and update the instrument files with the new locations. This can take some time with a big library.
Any more questions, post back.

For those of you that know me

for those of you that know me, i figured i'd drop a note here to say today's my last day at oracle. those of you that do know me probably also know that i'm very grateful to you guys what you've done. for what we've done. back in the day when this project marvel stuff (oracle platform stuff, for you really old skoolers) was new, it took a certain amount of faith to jump on board. we did. we jumped on board believing it'd work, and then we proved it. we've shown the world that this Application Express stuff not only works, but it works well. thanks guys, it's your continuing activity here on this forum and in the global community that have shown so many people how good web app development can be. please know i appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. also, now that i'm leaving the mothership, i'd like to say that the apex team is just incredible. you couldn't hope to work with a cooler or more dynamic group of people. i think you guys get a sense of that when you use the product and interact w/them on this forum, but i just wanted to confirm that now that i'm heading into the afterlife.
somewhat choked up,
raj (soon to be [email protected])

Hello,
I don't know Raj in person, but I read some of his articles on OTN, some of his threads on this forum, and some very kind words, written by Tom Kyte. So, I believe the Apex guys when they are saying he'll be missed.
Usually, when senior staff jumps ship, it's a good reason to start worry. In this case, it seems like Scott Spendolini is building a mini empire around Apex. As I consider these guys to be smart and skillful, their willingness to leave good and secure positions at Oracle, in favor of some new adventure, can only mean one thing they all believe in the good and bright future of Apex, and its ability to provide for them. It seems like a good sign for people like me user who devote a great deal of time learning how to make the best out of this tool.
I wish Raj all the best, and encourage all the others keep on the good work.
Regards,
Arie.

For those of you who cannot afford a proper video editing system...

...don't buy any prosumer video editing program (including Premiere Pro CS5.5). Here's why:
Last night, I ran the PPBM5 test on an Intel i3-2100 system with 4GB of DDR3-1333 RAM, a 500GB OS drive and a 1TB project drive (both drives are 7200 RPM) and integrated (onboard) Intel HD Graphics 2000. (This is the kind of system that one might buy for the purpose of Interner surfing and some limited gaming.) I have just submitted the results to the PPBM5 site.
The result?
With a total time of 976 seconds, that system is around 20 times slower than a fast i7 system (although it was marginally faster than the other systems with dual-core CPUs on the PPBM5 results list). That i3-2100 system also proved that no system with a dual-core CPU performed as fast as a system with even a mediocre-performing quad-core CPU.
In other words, at the lower end, you get what you pay for. This post and thread is to inform how senseless it is to cheap out on the components when building a video editing build.

If you absolutely can't afford the "fully ready" cost of...
16GB DDR3-1333 RAM: $120
4 x 1TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drives: $240
320GB or 500GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive (for OS): $45
You could START with...
8GB DDR3-1333 RAM (2x4Gig)
2 x 1TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drives
320GB or 500GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive (for OS)
And then add Ram and/or hard drives as need and $$ is available
The computer I built a bit over a year ago is described at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... input & output files

To those of you suffering with ATV

This is my story that might help some of you...
My colleague and I each bought an Apple TV two weeks ago and had very different experiences.
I plugged mine into my network and it worked immediately, syncing with my Alu iMac on 10.5.4
His, however, was another story.
We spent a whole week experiencing all the issues mentioned in this forum...
Sync then disappears, Invisible, port3689 error and so on
We went through all the usual stuff and still no luck until I went around there on Saturday determined to make the frickin thing work beore my colleague lost the plot.
His imac is a bit older than mine, the white intel one, by the way.
He had upgraded to 10.5.4, iTunes7.7, etc etc
I went through everything, router settings, etc etc then it started to click into place
Downloaded Bonjour browser and saw that there was a TCP entry for Itunes-ATV but not one for the ATV itself (on my system there were two TCP entries) so i reasoned that the problem was the Bonjour service
Also, no ping on ATV IP address from iMac.
I reasoned that the Bonjour service has been corrupted by a previous version of iTunes so even though he was on 7.7 we cleared it out completely, downloaded it again and fresh installed and reboot, all the while with ATV on ethernet to router.
On reboot and itunes restart there it was in the devices list, whoop! and indeed there were two TCP entries on Bonjour browser, and it started to sync, I then unplugged the ethernet and it also continued on wireless.
At time of writing, 24hrs later, even following a power cut, it is still on the devices list and syncing, my colleagues is considerably happier with life.
I think a previous version of iTunes or upgrade corrupted his Bonjour services and, try everything else as we did, it was never going to work unless that was resolved.
I hope this is of some help to some of you who are struggling with ATV. I really think that most of what is said about these issues are red herrings, for those that have tried everything else, I am convinced Bonjour service is at the root of the problem.
Good luck, because it's a great bit of kit when it is working and I am really enjoying mine.
And come on Apple, I shouldn't have to be resolving my friends technical support issues with your products!
Cheers
Vin

I just wanted to respond to this thread one more time to note that everything seems to be working fine for me, now. I put all the suggestions here to use, but I went well beyond that, because things still weren't working.
My computer was constantly locking up, with the Dock freezing and the Time Capsule not doing its thing. After running Tech Tool and Disk Warrior, things still weren't right on my G4, and much the same on my wife's iMac.
I took the somewhat drastic step of reinstalling the original Leopard OS on both computers, then did all the updates to the latest versions. I reconfigured the wireless network with Time Capsule, too, but it still wasn't working right. Further digging around the Apple Support site led me to a very recent Airport update that I didn't know about, and that my Software Update didn't recognize. After installing this update (June 2008), the Time Capsule seemed out of commission for good, but it churned and churned, finally showing a green light. I then used the Airport Utility and set up the Airport Express, and all was finally well.
Now, the ATV syncs like it should, fairly quickly, and my wife's iMac is able to access the 'net at normal speeds.
I don't know absolutely what fixed everything, but I think the Time Capsule (Airport) update was crucial in my case, and I don't think it hurt to reinstall Leopard on both computers (which would also reinstall iTunes, for those who were considering doing that, as suggested by Vincent.
I really hope others who are having troubles will reach a similar level of success. ATV is such a neat device, and it really should be so much simpler to get it to work.

For those of you having intermittent connection to the internet

If you have a linksys router and having intermittent connection to the internet, here's how.
Be sure to have a LAN cable plug into your router and macbook.
(This is very important if you do not want to get disconnected from the router)
1) Navigate to http://192.168.1.1
2) Go to the Wireless tab, under the Advance Wireless Settings tab, change the beacon interval to 50, RTS to 2304 and Fragmention to 2305, save the settings.
3) When you login into your router page, it first direct you to the setup page, look under MTU, set it to 1300. save it.
Note that if you are still having intermittent connection to the internet, another alternative is setting your MTU to 1365.
That's it, 3 easy steps to get you freed from the frustration.
Cheers for all those having the same problem like me solved.

Hi,
I dunno if this will help any of you, but here it comes:
I purchased the Airport 'N' enabler just a week before I upgraded to OSX 10.4.10. And - of course - after the OS update I had the similar issue with dropping Wifi connections and very slow speed, although (*Touch Wood*) I didn't have any Kernel Panics.
After updating to OS 10.4.10, System Profiler and Network Utility showed that I had the 'n' enabled, but the speed and (lack of) stability of the Wifi connection can only be described as 'Hair-ripping'.
Anyway, after reading through all the threads/topics of all you poor sods with similar problems and utilising somewhat 'hairy' workarounds with varying results, I realized that nobody acually tried to re-install the 'N'-enabler again; at least as far as I recall..
So, I simply installed the 'N'-enabler again AFTER updating to 10.4.10 !!! I was kind of expecting the installer to prompt me, saying that "this computer already has Airport Extreme 'N'-enabler installed" blah-blah.., but it didn't.
And now I have a very stable connection and MUCH faster download speeds as well !
So those of you who hasn't tried this yet, please do. It might work for you as well ... !!
Just me 2 cents

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

Good News for those of you with discoloration...

Apple recognizes, will repair discolored MacBooks
By Kasper Jade
Published: 11:00 AM EST
Apple Computer customers who've experienced premature discoloration on the casings of their glossy white MacBooks may finally see some restitution, AppleInsider has been told.
Click Here!
In an internal bulletin earlier this week, Apple for the first time acknowledged that a problem exists with some of its white 13-inch MacBook notebooks, where the casings of the computer may inexplicably turn shades of orange after very little usage.
"Some white MacBook computers may exhibit discoloration on the top case after some use," the company wrote in a note to its retail sector and service partners. "If this issue occurs [...] and the computer meets certain requirements, Apple will cover replacement of the affected parts under warranty."
In order to be eligible for the extended warranty repair, a customer's MacBook must have a serial number that falls within the range of 4H617XXXXXXXX to 4H627XXXXXXXX. The notebook must be irresponsive to approved cleaning solutions.
In replacing the top case -- the affected portion of the computer containing the palmrest area -- Apple will also replace the display bezel, people familiar with the repair process say.
The warranty extension is being made available to MacBook customers in all of Apple's major markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Customers afflicted by discolored MacBook syndrome should contact an Apple Care support representative by phone (1-800-800-2775 in US) or bring their computer to a local Apple retail store to arrange for diagnosis or repair.
Widespread reports of discoloration began appearing only weeks after Apple introduced the new Intel-based MacBook notebooks, which are available in both white and black (not affected). Since then, some customers have had success in getting their stained MacBooks replaced or repaired through a variety of avenues, while others have not.
It's still unclear precisely what causes the discoloration, however speculation on the Web suggests a bad batch of plastics may be to blame.

Why don't they do the same for the bad logic board? It's obviously an issue; they might as well address it and make it easier for people that don't know why their computer is constantly turning off.

Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
Thanks for your time!
-Monty

The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
So you must have common timecode.
With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
(another third party application)
If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:

Suggestions for hardware/software to VJ with videos from iTunes

I am a digital DJ / KJ and would like to incorporate the videos from my iTunes collection into my show. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

There occurred to me that I should have mentioned that I am assuming that you are using the trackpad and keyboard of the Mac Book which I can understand your Dad really disliking. My suggestion is that you blow a few bucks and get the extra keyboard and trackball as a present for your dad and plug it into the Mac Book USB port. You might also find it handy to hook up a monitor (20" or so). It will be so much easier to read the larger screen. You might also be aware that with mouse, keyboard and display hooked up you can close the lid on the Mac Book and the display will look a bit better not having to share the video processor with the Mac Book display.
The other thing I would mention is that it might be wise to download one of the programs that make an audible click through the speaker with each keyclick, mouse click and scroll wheel turn. I use a little Preference Pane called "Keyclick" which gives you many options on how you want it to sound (I make my keyboard sound like an old fashioned typewriter - which is a sound your Dad would be quite familiar with!) With this installed, your Dad will have much more feedback and it will make typing and mousing much easier for him.

For those new to mail with issues sending and receiving mail

I was surprised that I did not see anyone referring to this amazing and invaluable tool, the Mail Setup Assistant:
http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/
This tool get's me through troubleshooting sessions more than anything else. Most problems are due to settings when it comes to Mail. Half the time issues with sending emails is just due to SMTP settings, sometimes you do not need to have Authentication for outgoing mail. Sometimes your password is just incorrect. Use Mail Setup Assistant it is pretty **** accurate I use it on a daily basis.
Sometimes the settings are perfect and sometimes you just have to erase mail completely by doing:
~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist pull.
~ refers to your home folder!
Hope this helps!

It is a very good idea, however many of us do not live in the USA, so cannot yet take advantage of this tool.
Pity!

For Those of You Who Burn Discs, This Might Be of Interest!

Well, I suppose most of you have now seen my query about why I could burn BD-RWs, but NOT BD-Rs, In that I indicated that I use Verbatim exclusively, and that I was recently stopped within Encore from burning Verbatim BD-Rs. There is a good chance that my difficulty suddenly and inexplicably rested not with the Verbatim discs per se, but the fact that both of my Pioneer burners were rated at X2 writing speed, while the BD-Rs were rated at X6. Now and subsequently, I have no difficulty burning Verbatim BD-Rs rated at X2.
If you ever have difficulty in even starting the burning process in Encore, or in utilizing such programs as imgburn, the stated disparity may be the basis for the problem, and if you have read this far, that should be enough!
After all was said and done, I looked at the cylindrical cases in which the Verbatim discs were delivered, and discovered the following: "CAUTION: For use in drives or recorders that support 6x speed 25GB Blu-ray discs without cartridge. Insertion of this disc into non-compatible hardware may damage data, disc, or hardware." I had used quite a number of these previously from other packages, and the ones I had difficulty with were from two newly opened packages of 50 discs each. These discs were made in Taiwan, according to the package, with a part number of 97339. Apparently I am not alone with this disparity; although the sample of user data is almost next to zero, here is the reaction of one reviewer on Amazon, a reaction similar to mine, until I examined the package, and thought further about the issue: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Z4Z7B9SWCVWJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2Z4Z7B9SWCVWJ . The Part Number of the identified discs is different (reflecting a new manufacturing process of Verbatim, according to other sources), but the specification for the discs is otherwise the same. I have now ordered a couple of packages of Verbatim X2 25GB printable BD-Rs - it may well be, given the notable difficulty that I had in even finding these, that Verbatim has ceased manufacture and distribution of the X2 discs except as individually packaged discs. All of this makes streaming even more attractive!

Jeff, no I don't remeber where I purchased them, and could only identify the
supplier by going through very extensive receipts kept for tax return support -
so until the IRS audits me, that will probably remain a mystery.
In the meantime, I have just ordered a Pioneer 6x BD recorder! About time,
IF 6x will prove as reliable as 2x!
Regards,
Bill
