Having trouble downconverting from HD to SD

Used Shane's stock answer #42 but everything looks stretched vertically. Used pan and scan in DVD SP. What can I be doing wrong? Would really appreciate some thoughts from the folks in the know. I exported a reference movie out of FCP then dropped that file into DVD SP.
Thanks,
Tom

hello you should probably post this in the DVDSP forum but try 16:9 letterbox rather than pan and scan on your track and your menu.

I am having trouble printing from my computer. The printer keeps giving me an error message.

I have an hp officejet 6500A printer, i am having trouble printing from my computer which is an hp windows 7 64-bit to my computer. I keep recieving an error message on the printer stating that the paper size or type does not match. What do I need to do to get my computer to print to my printer?

Hi - A couple of things to try. First, in whatever app you're in, go into File, Print and Printer Properties and set the paper size appropriately. After that, go into Page Setup in whatever app you're in and set the appropriate size in there as well. In many cases, this problem is caused by different sizes being set within the printer driver and the app. If that doesn't work, go back into Printer Properties and try choosing a different paper type (Plain Paper). I've also had that resolve the problem before.
Hope that helps.

OK.
If you have a question, then explain your issue and ask it.

I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD. Sometimes it looks like its searching and other times I get a red exclamation point.

I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD 2. Most of the time it looks like its searching or I get a red exclamation point.
I was only able to send 2 texts. Help!

iPads cant send regular texts - only through iMessage meaning that the other device will need to have iMessage too.
If you can't send a text that means the other person does not have iMessage and iMessage is only installed on iOS devices or OSX Lion

Having trouble downloading from my sony hdd camcorder to my mac

I am having trouble transfering/downloading videos from my Sony HDD DCR-SR40 camcorder to my Macbook Pro,How do I get them to transfer?

I am having trouble transfering/downloading videos from my Sony HDD DCR-SR40 camcorder to my Macbook Pro,How do I get them to transfer?
Since you did not indicate the nature of your problems, I can only make a couple of generalized comments. 1) Most people import/capture DCR-SR40/60/80 "muxed" MPEG-2 content using iMovie ('08, '09, or '11). This workflow converts the files to QT edit-compatible formats (all I-frame M2V video with PCM audio) that is compatible with both QT 7 and QT X applications. 2) If you are already trying to use this workflow and are having problems getting the iMovie application to recognize the media/camcorder, recommend you change the order of connecting camcorder, powering-up camcorder, and booting the iMovie app.

Having trouble upgrading from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

I'm having a problem upgrading my operating system to SL 10.6.3. When I insert the install disc my iMac just rejects the disc without mounting it. My hard drive is not cluttered with applications because I mainly just surf the web. The several times I was able to get the install disc to mount, when I try to install the disc just ejects. I'm having the same problem with the Tiger 10.4 install disc when I try to restart in 10.4 so I can run disc utilities disc repair it ejects even holding down the c key. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. jwgpp

Hi, not positive, but it sounds like maybe the Optical drive is flaky, but a lomg shot...
I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterpretable Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

I'm having trouble upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro

I'm having issues trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard but everytime I try to buy the app in the apple store to upgrade to Mountain Lion it alerts me that my system is not compatibale. I don't' understand I read all the requirements and I meet all of them. My MacBook Pro is from mid to late 2007, I have 3G's of RAM, I have an Intel Duo Core 2, I'm running the latest Snow Leopard.
Anyone else encounter this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Having trouble printing from remote computer

I have an Epson CX4200 connected directly to an iMac G5 running OS 10.5. I access the internet wireless through a router. When I was running 10.4 on the iMac G5, I was able to print via printer sharing from my iMac running 10.3.9 without a hitch. After installing the new OS onto the G5, I choose "print" from the file menu on the older iMac, select the Epson CX4200 from the shared printer drop down menu (it's the only one in the house) and click "print". It looks like the data is spooling to the printer and the printer icon appears in the dock. Then nothing. I go to the iMac G5 and open the printer window. NOthing has been sent. I can't understand why these two operating systems cannot communicate with each other. I am not able to install 10.4 onto the older iMac. When I insert the disc, it just pops it back out. Don't know why that is but I thought if I installed the 10.4 onto the older iMac, that would solve the printer sharing issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try?

Okay, so I tried your suggestion and no luck! I also tried every other scenario that the computers allow and nothing. When I went to add a printer, the rendezvous popped up and my printer that is connected to the iMac G5 showed up. If I just choose that and don't select a printer model, just generic, nothing happens when I try to send the job. A printer dialogue box shows something for a split second then returns to "no job printing". However when I choose the printer in rendezvous and then Epson down below, my printer doesn't appear in the list of models. So I chose one that was close and I ended up seeing something happeneing in the printer dialogue box. It says it's connecting to the ip address of my iMac at port 631, but it just spools endlessly and never sends the job.
Do you have any other suggestions or does anyone? There has got to be a way. I can't imagine that Apple would deny people access to a shared printer on their own home network just because the two computers were using different versions of OS X.

Having trouble printing from windows 8.1

not printing from elements after upgrading to 8.1

Hi maryrfry,
“we've uninstalled and reinstalled the print drivers and still the laptop can't connect to the wireless printer”
The printer is not listed in the “Devices and Printers” or it is listed but cannot work ?
If it is not listed ,please check whether the "Turn on network discovery" has been checked (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings)?
You may need to manually add the printer from the “Devices and Printers” interface again. To do this :
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers\Add a printer \The printer that I wasn`t listed and add it again and follow the wizard.
At the same time ,it is recommended to download the driver for the printer from the manufacturer website.
If the issue persists ,clear the printer cache to have a check :
a. Search “Service.msc” and navigate to “Printer Spooler” service and stop it.
b. Look for this folder "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers" and delete all files in it.
c. Restart “Printer Spooler” service.
Best regards

Why am I having troubles printing from both the Illustrator program and the PDF I save?

I had a large Illustrator file that was made up of AutoCAD linework of an entire university campus. The file works fine and I can do anything I please. I made a 24" x 36" artboard and scaled an area to fit nicely. I also deleted a lot of contours and additional linework so the file size was not so large (went from about 40 mb to 6mb).
However, when I go to "save as" and select my artboard and save as a PDF. I open the PDF, which is 2.5mb in size, and it takes about 1 minute because of all the contours going in one by one. After I let it load, I print to my plotter as I do all the time in Adobe Acrobat X and it will bring up the window that says "Flattening" and gives "1%". After 10 minutes it reches 2%. After patiently waiting 1 hour, something popped up saying Acrobat failed to complete task and needs to close. Tried several times and it just wont print! I am Beyond frustrated. I even try rasterizing the PDF by opening it in Ps
Something I note is how my computer is working...that is how it is handling its processes via the task manager. Both times when I try to print from Illustrator and Acrobat it never makes it because it times out. My 8GB RAM desktop computer reaches max capacity in this process and devotes 6GB RAM specifically to Acrobat or Illustrator as it tries to print.
What is the deal here? I have "Save As"ed PDF's from Illustrator hundreds of times and sent them to our plotter from Acrobat. Is there something going on with my Illustrator File? I idn't think it mattered if linework was outside of the artboard when I save PDF of an artboard. I have a lot of layers in the .Il file, but most of them are off and it is just linework, no images or effects being done.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Agree with what Scott said. It may just look like single lines but due to how CAD programs construct the visual appearance based on drawing primitives rather than "paths" as it is understood in AI, there could be an awful lot of them in the same place even in seemingly simple drawings. I'm sure you'd see the same performance issue if you attempted to manualyl flattening the file in AI... You will have to go in there and clean it up or even better, clean it up in the CAD program and export it differently from there...

Having trouble migrating from macbook Pro to macbook Air?

Apple has kind of messed up with migration from older laptops to Macbook Air. With 140 GB to transfer onto my new Macbook Air, I took a big gulp when my new Air told me casually that it would take about 36 hours to migrate my stuff from my Pro to the new Air over the wireless network. OK, so I have a slow network, sue me. Apple's technical help was no help, and that's getting pretty common. The solution? A data transfer USB cable (PCMACLINK2 USB to USB Data Transfer Cable for Windows and Mac, Startech). A simple USB-USB connection and data transfer rates of around 480 MBS. I think we are good to go. BTW, why didn't Apple release a Firewire/Thunderbolt dongle? Making a new set of dongles for every new Mac seems to be de rigeur these days, so why not add one more? Oh, and Apple doesn't seem to carry a data transfer cable. FAIL!

Hello,
I've been pondering getting a Macbook Air but I want to find out if I can copy over Endnote X4 and Office from my Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard) to a new Macbook Air (Lion).
Is it just a matter of drag and drop or using Migrate Assistant or is there anything to worry about between different Macbooks, different versions of OS or some restriction on copying Apps?
Also, assuming a migration is possible, can I just use my Timemachine external drive or should I buy a cable instead?
Thanks,
Jason.

Having trouble connecting from office to home

So I downloaded ARD last night finally to address the daily questions from the kids and wife (how do I do this, Can you install this program, etc.) Played around with it a bit last night at the house (FIOS Router to Time Machine Bridge Mode) and locally it was working like a champ!
So excitied to get to work today and try things out and no go. IT say no outbound trafic is blocked and sent him the list of ports for ARD
I have the iMac's IP address and when I search by ip and try and log in it fails with the user name and password that worked locally last night.
Any thoughts from the community.
Thanks
Robert

Here the skinny, or catch. Some times a internet connection, may block ARD. So even if you configure every thing right. It may still not work. And even if it dose, soon as you go to another ineternet connection, you may be find yourself blocked. Also FiOS may change your IP, this is a very common and frequent practis for many ISPs.
Have you considered using a program like logmein.com ? It's really easy to use, and it's desgined to do just what your trying to do.
If you want to troubleshoot ARD:
When you say you have the iMacs IP address, is that the IP address from, System Prefrences, Network, Active network connection? or is that the IP address you get when your on the iMac and you go to a website like whatismyipaddress.com?
On the computer your using at work, have you tried:
1) opening Apple Remote Desktop
2) click on "All Computers"
3) Menu bar, File Menu, Add Computer by IP Address
4) Put the IP Address you got from whatismyipaddress.com in the address field
5) the login info you've been using at home.
6) click the advanced arrow
7) uncheck verify user namd and password
8) uncheck apply defualt offline reporting policy
9) click add
10) select the added record
12) click control, see what you get.
if your still not able to connect, you could try setting your iMac as the DMZ on your FIOS router. (to rule out your firewall)
Also the computer need to be on, and awake for you to be able to connect. So ether make sure the kids have it awake. OR configure your mac to stay awake.
if youw ant to configure your mac to stay wake:
Apple Menu, system prefrences, Enegery Saver, unlock, Slide computer sleep to "never".
You'll probable want screen slider set to sleep after some amount of time so the screen isn't always on.

I'm having trouble printing from my HP Photosmart Plus Model: B209a from my Mac OS X.

It's wireless and has a signal, but no matter because I've got the usb plugged in. I've restalled many times but nothing. Now when I go to reinstall it doesn't find any connection. About 2 hours ago I had a test page printed, and it didn't come out until about 20 minutes ago.... so it's recognizing it... but not always I guess... has this happened with anyone else?/ Does anyone know how to fix it?

Have you downloaded the latest OS X 10.6 drivers for your printer from the HP site at http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
