Help for a furstrated new Motion user...

Hi,
FCS2 arrived the other day, and im fine with FCP6 and the other stuff, but Motion 3 is really confusing me. I have never used motion before, so it is all new to me. I know FCP inside out, so hopefuly some of the knowledge I have from FCP will apply to motion.
Any essential tips you could give me that might help the whole system click into place in my head?
I desperatly want to get good at motion, as I am currently working on a video for Heathrow Terminal 5, and it would be great to be able to use some custom motion graphics for the video...
Thanks for any help,
Pete.

Well what Is a title sequence of sorts, and some lower thirds and cut sequence graphics that are all around a central theme.
Some 3D stuff would be good but to be honist anything would be good. I wanted to do a lower third with a cuban cigar, and I have a freind who is a product photographer who can take a proper photo of a cigar, its just animating it in a way that is interesting and not so simple that I look under-skilled!
I dont suppose there is anyone in the UK, south east, near Maidenhead and High Wycombe that could give me lessons?!

CLM How to add search-help for extension field(New Company Field) in MA.

Hi all,
Based on demand,I need to extend a new field(Company) in Master Agreement.
But I do not know how to add search-help for this field,just like User Accont page.
Anyone can help me ?thank you very muck.
Regards,
JackyCheng

Hello Jacky,
To combine all the answers above and have a topic-based reply please go through the below steps:
#1. Inactivate the current extension field Company (I see it is actually a String value and this is not what you want to have)
#2. Go to Setup -> System Setup -> Extension Reference Types
Check if you already have a Company reference type
If not, create a new Extension Reference Type for Class Company. Fill in all required information.
#3. Create a new Extension Attribute
Select Data Type: Object Reference
Now you can add the Company type as reference

icalentor and ilife keep asking me about the keychain password ,wich i don't event know about (login password dosn't work), if any one knows about this ,and how to avoid from that ? thank you ! please help ,.i am a new mac user .

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Can I use my iMac as a display for a G5 - New Mac User

I am still a fairly new iMac user, I would like to know if I can use my exsisting iMac with someones elses G5, and use my iMac as a screen display for his G5. Im sorry if this topic does not belong in this forum, I did try searching thru other forums to post and read up on this info.
Please direct me to the right place, or answer my question. Thanks in advance.

Here's the scoop, if you want to use any iMac as an external display for a G5 Mac you have these options.
1. Target Disk Mode, only available on iMacs with Firewire:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58207
This only gives you access to the data files of that Mac and basically treats it as an external hard disk.
2. Networking via ethernet, wireless, or Firewire, you can setup Virtual Network Computing or Remote Desktop:
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=VNC&os=macosx
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?os=macosx&keywords=remote+desktop
3. As others have suggested, somehow to remove the VGA cable from the logicboard of the iMac and connect it to the Mac externally.
The external VGA port of iMacs only display what is on the Mac itself and as far I know can't be used in a reverse signal application.

New motion user here, questions

Hello all,
I am new to apple motion 2 and new to video and motion graphics as a whole. I just brought home a new dual core 2 ghz G5 and a 23 inch apple display about a month ago. I currently work doing still graphics, mostly layout and some illustration - working in photoshop, illustrator and indesign primarily. I also do a bit of audio work as a hobby using ableton live.
I have always had an interest in video and animation, but have never gotten into it for some reason. When choosing this machine I had considered the dual 2.5 but decided on the dual 2.0 primarily because "I don't do video, animation, or 3D work".
So, what does my wife buy me for Christmas? A digital video camera! I am not sure if I will pursue video and motion graphics on a professional level, but what I really want to do is artistic experimentation - video art if you will, combining my own video clips, graphics, sound effects, music, creativity and vision into motion monsters.
So, after talking with a few people I ordered motion 2 today and should have it by the end of the week. I do not even have the software yet and I am completely overwhelmed by the creative possibilities - and I am not even sure what they are yet! I am very excited to get into this.
One thing I am wondering about; as I stated above, when I chose my computer one of the reasons I chose the dual 2 ghz was specifically because I do not do this type of work. So now, of-course, I am worried that my machine is not going to be quite up to the task. I see that people are running motion on their powerbooks so I imagine I will be fine, but I suppose I am looking for some re-assurance to help quell my obsessive mind.
My stats are as follows:
Dual Core 2 GHZ G5
2.5 gigs DDR SDRAM
160 GB Hard-drive
NVIDIA GeForce 6600LE 128 mb VRAM
23 Inch Apple HD Display
Is my system going to be up to task? I am already thinking that I am going to need to upgrade my video card and probably buy another hard-drive. Not now, but sometime later in the year. Also, more ram is always good.
Can I expect to run into any limitations out of the box, and in my early stages of learning?
Again, I am sure I will figure this out on my own when my copy of motion arrives later this week but any advice about what I should expect would be great.
Also, any learning resources I should know of that are not immediately obvious on this forum? Suggested reading, books, online, etc. Tutorial dvd's are great for me. I purchased the 1st quicktime tutorial, "getting started in motion" from rippletraining.com and was utterly blown away by that simple lesson. Also, any online resources of work people have done using motion, especially video/audio integration. Bear in mind that although I do design and layout, and audio work I have exactly zero experience in motion graphics and video.
I'm really excited about the possibilities! So yes, if anyone could address my concerns regarding my system, and point me in the right direction for resources to get started I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards, and thanks in advance -

Hi Graham, and thanks so much for your response.
Like I said before I am really in the dark when it comes to video and motion graphics so I bought motion on someones recomendation without knowing exactly what it is. Silly maybe? But I have a feeling I am going to be happy as I do not want to limit myself strictly to video alone.
I was a little worried that I had made the wrong choice, as I started to realize that motion is geared towards the creation of motion graphics, but regardless I think I will enjoy learning it and finding a way to integrate it into my vision (whatever that may be).
As far as a basic video editor goes, I will look at finalcut express but probably will need a couple of months before I can justify another purchase to the boss (my wife :-P ). In the mean time will iMovie suffice in your opinion for very basic editing and building? Does iMovie play well, or at all, with motion in your opinion?
I imagine I will be able to edit clips to a desired length and output them to motion then dump them back into iMovie if I'd like. I suppose I will find out.
Sheesh, so many questions! Anyway, I planned on getting final cut and after effects at some point down the road and am still excited about diving into motion.
Again, thanks for your response and once I am up and running I will be sure to post my work.

I need help for all you wise Mac users... please

Yesterday, my beloved Mac started acting strangely. Just before that, I uploaded some photos my daughter emailed to my yahoo address. I placed the 8 photos in IPhoto, then tried to go back to Pogo.com where I spend most of my puter time. (Pogo is very Java-based, so I empty the cache, delete cookies and temp files regularly.) Pogo home page just barely loaded, very slow, and none of the games would open. When I tried to stop a game from loading, it froze. I finally had to Force Quit Safari.
In the past when Safari has acted up, the first, and most times the last thing I do is repair disk in Disk Utility. That did nothing to help this new problem. So I came here and started following suggestions I found. So far (with no luck fixing the problem) I have:
1. Made sure Javascript is enabled in Safari/Pref/Security. It was.
2. Trashed cookie.plist, then restarted Safari
3. Trashed Safari cache folder in Library/Caches/Safari, then restarted Safari
4. Booted from Install disk, repaired HD in Disk Utility (disk was fine, verified no problems)
5. Did the Apple Hardware test, that was fine (thank goodness!)
6. Installed Shiira to see if it had the same slow, hang, freeze that Safari has. It does. So, in fact, does Firefox.
I'm sure there were a few other things I tried, but can't remember them now. What the heck is going on with my browsers? And how can I fix them? Help, please.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You have done your homework but perhaps it's the Safari preference file... they can become corrupted. Locate this file; com.apple.safari.plist
It's here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to your Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it still acts up, drag that com.apple.safari.plist file to the Trash. It's the culprit. Reboot your iBook. And your Mac will create a new Safari.plist file for you. You will have to reset your Safari preferences but it just might do the trick.
If this doesn't do the trick, post back. ** You will get more feedback... just be patient.

Help for a female non logic user!

Hi all, I've posted this in here in the hope that all you Logic users will be able to help.
I have a MacBook Pro and I want to play a movie from it to my v. old TV (PAL).
I have seen that you can get the DVI to Video Adapter from the Apple Store. If I look at the description for the Apple DVI to Video Adapter is says I can use on a MacBook Pro but no mention of PAL. If I look at the Apple PAL DVI to Video Adapter it mentions PAL but no compatibility with a MacBook Pro.
So can I use either?
If I can what cables do I need from the adapter to the back of my TV/DVDr?
Don't want to buy an AppleTV or an expensive projector.
Would much appreciate your help.
Hayley

Hi, Hayley. I had another thought later. Could you burn the movie to a DVD and use a player to watch it? The burn folder [partof the mac os] will do it, but a more sophisticated program is called toast. That will burn cds, dvds, etc, but it costs money. In Australia its about $180. I'm not sure whether you could load the origianl file into Idvd or imovie, but they might be cheaper, easier options, but I'm not sure if they're applicable cos I don't know exactly what you're doing. Apart from toast, all the others I've mentioned come with OS X, so they're free. Better on the wallet! If I can think of anything else, I'll write some more. All the best. Scorpii.

Plz help for upgrading to new OS X Mavericks

I purchased MacBook Pro in May'11 with Mac OS 10.6.6 installed. Few months back i downloaded DMG file elsewhere for upgrading to10.6.8 and successfully upgraded without loosing any file & other OS i.e. WINDOWS XP. Now i wish to upgrade to new OS X 10.9.2. Plz help me for doing so.

Thanx for replying, but there is no Apple Store in INDIA, there are only resellers. I approached the outlet from where i had purchased my MacBook, but he has refused for update.
Plz tell me if i can get STANDALONE INSTALLER from "apple.com
". I searched for one which updated directly from 10.6.8 (my present OS) to 10.9.2 at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338?viewlocale=en_US", but in vain.
Please let me link from where i can download installer in a PC working on WINDOWS 7 with gud internet speed.

This might help for the t new ios 6.1.2

Ok, this is something I did on my iPhone 3G, and now I can get apps from appstore again. It's pretty simply all you do is go into wifi and then the wifi hotspot
You are in and go into dns you can ether delete the whole dns number and then press wifi ( don't put anything in the dns box) or I hope this will work for you put this dns into it 192.168.1.1 that is the current dns I have! I'm going to check on this form.as much to make sure it works for everyone! Plz try it and let me know

I had recently upgraded my 4S to iOS 6.1.2. All was well except Facetime and iMessage. For "Waiting for Activation" under the iMessage setting, this is what I did after 2 days of waiting:
Plugged in to PC
backed up contacts etc on iTunes
Reset the iphone from settings>general>reset>erase all data and settings
Set up the phone as new
after setting up restored from back up on iTunes
iMessage working!
Oh and first it was working from the emails i set up. I had to uncheck all emails from Settings>Messages>Send and receive, to make iMessages shift to my phone number.
Also in my experience saying "OK" or "Cancel" to "Carrier may charge for an SMS" did not make a difference.
Hope it helps everyone stuck at "Waiting for activation"!

HELP!!! New ibook user needs help really bad

I just purchased a new ibook g3 or g4 off Ebay. I'm new to the mac world but I'm getting into graphic design and the mac is the way to go...anyway....I bought this mac off ebay and all that came with it was the computer and power cord. Now I'm having issues with it and to fix the issues I need the start-up disks or the systems restore disks which I don't have. Can I get those anywhere from Apple or am I S.O.L.? Thanks

Hi mama392! And Welcome To Discussions!
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
More info here Tip: Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs.
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the 10.4.7 Combo Update.
Tiger System Requirements
Additionally,
"Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

Help for a British NTL internet user.

Hello guys, my powerbook takes the internet wirelessly from an Airport Express station that is connected (via ethernet) to a old desktop pc. Such pc takes the internet from a blue little device which I have been told to be an sort of modem. The NTL set box, which is in another room, is attached with a long cable to that blue device.
I was wondering if I can install some sort of modem-router in order to provide both computers with internet connection independently from one another. As you know, the pc has to be on for me to have internet in my mac.
Also, I feel that sometimes the simple usage of the pc interferes with my internet connection (which I use a lot iChat videoconferences and needs to be optimum).
Having said all that I mean to ask if any of you know what device should I get.
I know that our household internet speed is supposed to be 3Mb, but I feel nothing close to that in my PB. The pc browses the internet way faster.
Please help.
Thank you.

Does the blue box have a make/model on it ? It sounds like it might be a router of some sort as the set-top-box usually has an ethernet output on it.
You could always add a wireless card to the desktop PC and have the Airport plugged into the NTL line and have the Airport share the connection for you and both computers would access the net wirelessly through the Airport Express without needing either computer to be on.

Dual display help for a recently converted mac user

I have a 24" Intel IMac and I wanted to set up dual displays. I may have jumped the gun a little because I didn't do much homework but I found a big cheap monitor at Best Buy which is an HP w2338. I bought that and the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. I hooked everything up and both monitors work but I have a couple small issues that I can't seem to find how to fix. First, I have about a 1.5 inch strip along the left side of my hp monitor that isn't used at all. It is just a black strip that taunts me. When I drag things from my IMac to my HP it drags fine, but it just acts like the monitor is smaller than it is. The resolution on my IMac is set to 1680x1050 and on my HP it is 1920x1080. Second, I have very faint vertical stripes in my new HP monitor. They can be seen the best in the grey parts of my windows. Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated.

On your 24-inch iMac's screen, the native resolution is 1920x1200. You can use a lower resolution, but the display will seem a bit fuzzy (the pixels are being approximated). So you should use 1920x1200 on the iMac's screen, unless you have a good reason to use something else.
On the HP display, it sounds like the native resolution is 1920x1080. That's the resolution of an HDTV, so it should work. However, when you connect an HDTV, it connects with a digital connection, HDMI. So I think it will work if you connect it HDMI. If that monitor happens to have DVI, use DVI.
If it only has VGA and HDMI, there was a recent topic that was very similar (same display I think). Is your iMac the older model (not the brand new 2009 model) with a Mini-DVI port? If so, take a read there to see if the information is applicable to your situation.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9247482
Now, if that display you have is different, and it has a DVI connector, please post back.
