Has the way FCPX synchronizes clips changed recently? FCPX no longer syncing in background

(I am using FCP 10.1.3) I just stared syncing clips for my latest project to day and have met an unrecognizable process/workflow. It would seem that fcpx is no longer syncing in background? And quite frankly I don’t get it and it is really slowing me down.
What I am expecting to happen:
1. I select my video and audio file
2. right click
3. click sync clips
4. New compound clip is created in event and progress of syncing is shown in the background tasks window/wheel.
5. Once I have synced clips in a scene I search "sync" and check them
What is happening instead:
1. I select the clips I want to sync
2. Right click
3. Select sync clips
4. A dialogue box asking where I would like these new compound clips to be stored and what they should be named. (Thats cool I guess, except I am fine with the default and clicking ok adds another step to my workflow)
5. I click ok. FCP greets me with a progress bar, which prevents me from doing any other work.
6. Once the progress bar is done FCPX removes me from my smart folder or any search to the top level of the event I am in and selects the new compound clip. (This could be convenient in some cases, except I am trying to synchronies around 600 clips.)
Is this new in some update in the last few months? Or did I forget something about how I used to do it that made it faster? Is there something I am missing about this new setup that would enhance my workflow? This is currently looking fightingly laborious and slow, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you very much, Russ H.  It sounds like i'm approaching this tool the wrong way.  i have not understood the purpose of the Event window and have intentionally glazed over it.  Guess i need to do some research....
Is it unusual that ALL of the files did not lose the link?  Once i connected the external drive and copied the iphoto library onto it, i deleted it from my imac to create space.  It's backed up to both Time Capsule (via time machine) and external drive (copied).  When FCPX choked, i copied it back to the imac, deleted FCPX and re-installed.  But around 40% of source clips are still present.  
Still a young mac user...

  • How do I change my short name on Yosemite OS X? I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.

    I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.
    There was a text box after I clicked on the lock after I went to Users and Groups in System Preferences, but now it's gone.
    By short name, I mean the name that appears on your lock screen when you log in.
    P.S. I use a MacBook Air Early 2014 version, 13-inch.
    I upgraded to Yosemite 2 days ago.

    I found how to do it.
    Go to SystemPreferences - Users&Groups - Right-click on your account at the left hand side bar- change your FULL NAME ONLY
    If you change anything else the system might break but changing the full name causes no damage.
    So I changed my name and am working fine with my Mac.
    Cheers!

  • TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

    Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

    Hi Andy,
    As Ibai already replied in the SAP Business One Forum there are several options.
    If you want to use "SAP Business One Integration..." you may have to do quite some work to connect two SAP Business One systems ASFAIK.
    This hasn't been in focus for the first release of this integration platform (which is currently in Ramp-Up), but Integration to SAP R/3 / mySAP...
    Maybe some colleague - or partner developer who eventually already worked on that knows better?

  • Has the SDN forum search facility changed?

    When in any of the forums I used to be able to search in relation to the forum area that I was in. However, that option seems to have gone and I only have the option shown in the top right corner to search the all forums. For example, when in the CRM WebUI forum and search for 'Remove button from toolbar' I get loads of ALV/ABAP postings from another forum area.
    There used to be another search option for the particular forum you were in. Am I alone in not being able to see this?.
    I noticed that this sudenly happened about a month back.
    Jason

    I'll try the solution suggest above, but I should not have to.
    One of the prerequsites steps is for us to check SDN before raising a support call. The way the site works now makes this a little harder, or at least more effort.
    Regards to all.
    I'm sure they'll get it sorted, eventually, especially as we are possibly raising a few more support calls now as many people can't be bothered to go through the extra effort to try and find a solution using SDN. So I guess it's in SAP's favour to get this working ASAP.
    Regards

  • Has the FTP Root Directory specification changed in CS6?

    I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 and it appears that the method of specifying the root directory for the remote server has changed. For example I had a root file specification of /htdocs/milehighmgc/ that worked perfectly in CS5.5 both in the Site Manager and when I connected to the server from the Files Panel. After upgrading to CS6 it sttill would connect from the Site Manager but when I tried to connect from the Files Panel I got an error message that said "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to the host." I was able to get it to go by adding another / to the root folder definition so that it read //htdocs/milehighmgc/.
    Has anyone out there seen this? Is there a proper syntax that I am not aware of after using this stuff for 3 years?

    No, it hasn't changed, and I've never seen a double-slash at the beginning of the path, either. How odd.

  • Has the behavior of 'run script' changed in Snow Leopard?

    These work fine:
    tell application "Safari"
    return URL of front document
    end tell
    tell application "Safari"
    set longURL to URL of front document
    return longURL
    end tell
    This does not:
    set getFrontmostURLCommand to "URL of front document"
    tell application "Safari"
    set longURL to run script getFrontmostURLCommand
    end tell
    return longURL
    Why? It looks like a script interpretation error but I can't figure out what's wrong.
    The error returned is:
    error "Safari got an error: Can’t get URL of document 1." number -1728 from "URL of front document"

    I see. Is there a way to make the application variable? I'm writing a function because getFrontmostURLCommand works with a couple of different browsers and I want it to be run conditionally based on the user's browser. Something like this:
    set defaultBrowser to GetDefaultWebBrowser()
    on GetDefaultWebBrowser()
    set _scpt to "export VERSIONERPERL_PREFER_32BIT=yes; " & -
    "perl -MMac::InternetConfig -le " & -
    "'print +(GetICHelper \"http\")[1]'"
    return do shell script _scpt
    end GetDefaultWebBrowser
    on defaultGetFrontmostURLCommand(defaultBrowserApplication)
    tell application defaultBrowserApplication to set longURL to URL of front document
    end defaultGetFrontmostURLCommand
    on caminoGetFrontmostURLCommand()
    tell application "Camino" to set longURL to URL of current tab of browser window 1
    end caminoGetFrontmostURLCommand
    if defaultBrowser is in {"Safari", "WebKit", "Opera"} then
    defaultGetFrontmostURLCommand(defaultBrowser)
    else if defaultBrowser is "Camino" then
    caminoGetFrontmostURLCommand()
    end if
    set the clipboard to longURL

  • Has the official Photoshop CS6 release changed from the beta version?

    That's it really. Are there any substantial differences  or changes in the official release?

    It should look the same to the users. No big new features were added, just some bug fixes.

  • Has the Calendar share backup process changed?

    I have been using the following apple process for exporting a calendar from icloud for a while but it now results in a file not found error. Does anybody know if there is a new process?
    iCloud.com Calendar
    This method of backing up starts with publishing a calendar that you can then download to your computer. If your calendar is already on your computer, skip to the OS X or Windows instructions.
    Go to iCloud Calendar at icloud.com/calendar and sign in using your iCloud Apple ID and password.
    Publicly share a calendar.
    Select and copy the URL (web address) from that shared calendar and paste it to the address field in your browser; do not press Enter or Return yet.
    Change "webcal" to "http", and then press Enter.
    An ICS file will download to your default downloads location. The calendar can be added to a calendar client like iCal on Mac or Outlook on a Windows PC.
    Once the download completes, unpublish the shared calendar.

    Hello Vickfromtx,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following resource will instruct you on how to share a calendar with others.
    On an iPad (with iOS 6.x), tap "Calendars" in the top left corner. Tap the blue arrow to the right of the calendar you wish to share, then choose "Shared with: Add person…"

  • Has the discover double cash back changed your lineup?

    so with the double cash back promo i no longer use my 1.5% cash back NFCU cashRewards because it doesn't reward me as much now. has this new promo made you SD any cards?

    fitchaber10 wrote:
    For me it definitely has not. DC is still better for everyday purchases because you get the second 1% as soon as you pay. You don't have to wait for a year to get it, unlike Discover. To me, the non universal acceptance of Discover means it is only good for the rotating categories and Discover Deals. For everything else, your best bet is to use a different card.Exactly ^^^^^ I don't have Double Cash (BK7 still reporting) but I use Barclays Rewards MC for 2% rewards on gas, groceries & utilities, and Quicksilver 1.5% for most other purchases, I'm not going to wait a year for another 1% from Discover first year double cash back. I use Discover for Discover Dealss or current quarter 5%. I did a nice purchase at HomeDepot.com for 5% through the Discover Deals portal + 5% for current qtr home improvement. Now waiting a year for another 5% or 10% is definately worth the wait.

  • Why has the /usr/ucb/ps behavior changed?

    /usr/ucb/ps -auxww should return the long command returned from the process list.
    Something appears to have changed the behavior so that only the owner of the process or root can see the long command.
    Anyone else gets the response truncated to 80 chars.
    Why did it change?

    Security concerns and probably some internal changes in access.
    The "long" name is only stored in the process itself. Normally access to the process is only available to a privilged user (owner or root). Such users should see the old behavior.
    Otherwise you'll have to use sudo or make 'ps' setuid. 'pargs' will give the same information and should be subject to the same limitations.
    # /usr/ucb/ps ww 743
    PID TT S TIME COMMAND
    743 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections
    # pargs 743

  • I have the IPOD Touch Generation 3.  I can no longer sync songs from itunes.  They said it is an Apple issue not Itunes since they are downloaded.  How can I syn the new songs??

    I have been given to itunes numerous times by Apple. ITUNES have referred me back to Apple as I may not have the current software on my IPOD TOUCH, model MC086LL.  I have purchased/downloaded songs, but they will not sync to my IPOD.  ITUNES again said this is an issue with the IPOD TOUCH software not them.   Does anyone know how I can get this resolved?? 

    Carolyn Samit, what are yo saying? He say he has a MC086LL at iOS 4,2. That is a 2G iPod. The software update comes with iOS 5 and the 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    For 31MToweVe
    31MToweVeWhat happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • On my mac iBook computer it will not let me update to the latest version of iTunes and I can no longer sync my phone, which is on ios7, what do I do?

    So I have a Mac iBook and it says I'm on the latest version of iTunes but when I plug in my iPhone it says that I need a newer version And I want to move music onto my phone, what do I do?

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!
