HELP! Major Project due tomorrow...need quick fix advice

I have just finished creating a movie and my deadline to submit is tomorrow. Everything looks good, but when I added in a few clips, following this... it speeds up the rest of the video (i.e. the audio is normal, but the video looks like it is moving in slight/fastforward) is there a quick fix for this? I have not experienced this before...

You give too little details.
iDVD can appeear to be frozen, but it still works. This is especially true for the audio encoding. Depending on the complexity and duration of your project, as well as the power of your machine, the encoding phase can take long hours.
I understand you don't have time for experimenting, so here's what you can try:
- open Font Book;
- select all fonts that have a dot on the right;
- do Edit>Resolve Dupplicates.
Then try again with iDVD and your project. This time leave enough time, even if a right-click in the iDVD's icon in the Dock tells it's not responding.
And check you have enough free space: at least 10% of the HDD (general rule for Mac OS X), or 10 GB (some even say 20 GB).

NEED HELP SCHOOL PROJECT DUE TOMORROW @ 7:45

Just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error; now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes. how do i resolve this ?

just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.
how do i resolve this ?

By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library ..."
You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
Does your iTunes library open without the error?

Need help asap, project due monday!

Hey everyone,
I'm a college student and I have a final project due on monday.
I'm running into a MAJOR issue which I've never had before. I know this is probably a noobie issue but any help would be fantastic.
I have text on it's own layer, typed it directly into flash, there are two text fields on this layer. I created at motion tween to move the text from the center of my stage to the top of my stage at about halfway on my scene1 timeline and then it sticks there til the end of that scene. My issue is, my text will display and animate when I run the timeline in flash. But when I hit CTRL Enter for the preview, it's no where to be found. I've even tried embedding the text to see if that would help! Kinda freakin' out here, so any help would be great. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm using Flash Professional CS5 with an ActionScript 3.0 file.
Kindest Regards,
Dingo

post a link to your .fla and i'll take a look

Lost project due tomorrow: blue folder, no images

I have a project almost completed. I just needed to drop in the audio. It is due tomorrow.
I turned on iMovie 08 this morning and saw no project, only 2 blue folders. A first level folder said, "St" (my project was "St. john's"), and the nested folder said, "Quicklook." But both are empty and my photos (all with Ken Burns effect applied. Approx. 75-100 photos.
Never had one problem with iMovie 08 before this. Never.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please!!

marie2boyer,
I think that your mac friend is right. I came to the same conclusion, & have overcome the problem.
I first tried to rename the project without the punctuation, but it didn't work.
Below describes what did work:
I created a new folder in the same location as the original project file (finder/movies/iMovie Projects) and named it something similar (and making sure there were no punctuation, brackets etc) I then open the main corrupted blue folder & dragged all of the contents into the new folder. Then & only then (this is important) rename the extension of the new folder to .rcproject. Double click on the new folder OR right click and click on 'open with'.
It worked for me & saved lots of hours of re-work.
If the file is still corrupted you could try the contents of a backup copy.
I hope this helps. Even if it is too late on this occasion, it might be handy in the future should this happen to someone else or happen again. I also suspect that the punctuation was the problem & I too won't be doing it again.
Thank you for your time & your reply.

HELP! Project due! iMovie 06 acting weird!

Sorry
Somehow I accidently posted this in the iMovie 08 discussions and I realize it needs to be in this section -- so here's my question:
Hi! I'm hoping someone can help us! My daughter has been working on a short 10 min historical documentary in iMovie 6.0.3 Everything was going great (we use this program often.) It has lots of still image clips that pan in out with the ken burns effect. She added audio to it using Quicktime audio files (which before she just drag and dropped into the timeline -- now she had to move them into iTunes and add them from the media window but that is no problem really except it seemed like the program was acting squirrely) She has had to redo some of the audio recordings and as a result some of the lengths of the photo image clips need to be changed. The problem is that suddenly all the clips are dimmed in the timeline (they weren't last night!!!) and we cannot grab the edge of a clip/image and lengthen it. It won't show us the little handle thing. We can change the length manually in the photo settings window but it's a real pain since we have to mess with it to get it it to just the right length!!
I have no idea what changed -- what we might have accidently reset. I have shut down and restarted the program and the computer several times. I have checked the preferences and then discarded the preferences list and emptied the trash and restarted the computer. I have tried to open other iMovie projects that we have started and the timeline items are dimmed on those, too!
What did we do? And how can I change it -- this is at a bad time since this is now due for a competition and she needs to fix these items before she can submit it!
Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Check to make sure that iMovie has sufficient free disk space to operate--at least 10GB. Update all of your iLife programs to current versions. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Do the permissions repair whether or not you update.
Usually when iMovie acts strangely, it often helps to close iMovie and trash the file com.Apple.iMovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. But, you said you already did that.
Good luck with this.

Please Help | Major Problems | Lost Job/Need Fix

Hello guys, I have an Early 2011 Macbook Pro with many problems and I don't know where to begin. There are so many things that Ill just list a few to get started.
Here are my specs:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
NOTE: about a week ago I reinstalled the OS to fix a problem temporarily Ive been out of work for 3 months now because of these problems and am now out of money so I cannon afford to take it to a shop or the Apple store for fixing. If I cant get this fixed ill be unable to start my work again and that would be terrible.
SOME PROBLEMS TO START: I really need someone/something to look at my computer and determine ALL the problems with it both internal hardware and also within the OS itself.
*The core of all this is that i NEED windows 7 installed on my mac for work and bootcamp wont allow me to do it for some reason, I also don't want it installed virtually. I want windows installed cleanly. If i could install windows in place of the Mac os and then bootcamp Mac OS I would rather do that.
- Console has so many errors its crazy.
- Computer randomly restarts when I play games or am watching a movie
- I CANNOT install Windows 7 via bootcamp or any other method
- My Optical Drive failed so I have removed it so my only option is to install windows via a usb drive
- For some reason my External HDD that I save everything on now all of a sudden wont read.
- Disk Utility reads it and if i verify it and repair it it tells me everything is ok but then also reads that its updating drivers but nothing ever happens
I THINK IF I CAN GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED THEN THE OTHERS MIGHT GO AWAY
Please respond asap as every minute my laptop sits like this is another dollar that I am losing

Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them test you MBP and define what is exactly wrong with it. The evaluation will be FREE!
Ciao.

Need help fast, project due in Three days...

I made a really basic video on iMovie for school, my very first movie, and am having some problems with the quality. The movie was all finished then I shared it, or exported, or whatever to the desktop as and mpeg. The quality though was all pixelated and blurry after it finished. I can't burn it directly with iDvd because my laptop does not have a dvd burner. I need to save it in a good quality format, burn it and turn it into a dvd on my desktop. What is the best way to save my movie without damaging quality, because one of the requirements is to not have blurry images. If you could give me all the settings of what you guys use or any other tip I would appreciate it.

Another option would be to creat your idvd on your present mac but when you come to the point where you are going to burn the disk, make a disk image (under the file tab). This is a smaller file and you can transfer it to another computer and burn it using apples disk utility.
Another simple way is to connect two macs together via a firewire cable. Boot your mac holding down the "T" key until you see a yellow symbol on a blue background appear. On the other machine you should see your hard drive appear on the desktop. Open your hard drive and get you imovie file or disk image out and add it to the 2nd mac. Close your hard drive and THIS IS IMPORTANT Eject it by dragging it to the trash. It is now safe to disconnect your two machines.

Buttons (boxes) have squared corners in Design Mode, and after quick preview and export to BC test pages, they are rounded? Need quick fix.

Please if anyone can give us some help fixing this bug, tried going into every single state of them individually. We have no other portions of the site with round corners so these are sticking out like sore thumbs. Perhaps it could be other live areas on the site in Tools such as TOOL TIPS which we have changed a bit from normal usage to suit our needs. Please let us know what other bit of information you may need form us, We may have trouble loading full pages, but can load elements.

A link or screenshots would help.
Make sure you have your border radius set to '0' for those elements.

Help! Project due 03/06 to create horizontal 4-button menu-cloning buttons.

I can create or import and tweak beautiful buttons. When I go to clone them as Fireworks CS4 Help menu says, an error pops up that they might become unstable- well, they are. I can only get three side by side, they distort, lose their states and all act as one. I need four buttons side by side with different text and 4-states each, different urls and behavior. I have tried using slices- once the whole edit page just zapped off the screen! I have been to a number of websites, not much help. My college textbook mentions nothing about buttons in Fireworks. I need to figure this out so I can help others. So, to simplify my problem- how can I get four 4-state buttons side by side in a horizontal menu, link them to urls, and save/export them as an .htm file (Using Fireworks CS4 only?)
con calma

I'm sorry, but I've been there, done that. The Help menu is not helpful. It says to clone, but I first got an error message saying that the images would become unstable. I've created my own symbols- buttons, dragged one over to the edit- new symbol editor,tried cloning, was able to finally get four buttons with four states each, was able to highlight them separately, add text to the other three, and copy over, added urls in the behavior/url window, etc., made a marquee around the buttons, saved them to a .png file as requested by the instructor, then opened and exported to an .htm file and images format. Unfortunately, all the buttons smear together when I open the .png or .htm.
I need the correct steps; I did the file, new, edit, insert, new button, then imported my previous creation from the common library. What's next? Shouldn't I have slices? Did I miss a step in making them buttons? I did specify "buttons" for the symbols but saw no slices. I have followed old information online, but something is still missing. I only have a few days left with Fireworks, then moving to Flash, so I have to resolve this to keep my grade up.
con calma (for the moment- ready to lose calma soon!)

Need Help - Projects Due Next Week!

Hello all,
I am trying to absorb all of the information available for ODI/ODP/ODQ. I have several Proof-Of-Concept projects due next week.
The following are the project POC requirements:
Scenarios:
Duplicate Person - Based on a single source table, de-duplicate the records based on LastName plus 1st character of Firstname plus (DOB -or- SSN).
Inconsistent Data - Single table with thousands of entries separated out by a "division". Each division could use a column for differing purposes. For example, Division A uses ColumnX as "Achievement Level" and Division B uses ColumnX as "Work Skills". There are two targets in this case. So I would have to route the records from Division A to TargetA, and records from Division B to TargetB.
Dirty Data - Table containing "standard" code columns with invalid values. Need to compare these values to a code cross-reference table formatted like:
CodeXRef Table
Category VARCHAR(20)
SourceCode VARCHAR(100)
TargetCode VARCHAR(100)
The standard code from the source table would be "looked up" in the CodeXRef table (by field category). The TargetCode value would be used to populate the target. If a match is not found in this case, I need to record the error and move on.
Now to the problem - The install of Oracle DQ (which I assume I need for Scenario - Duplicate Person) does not work on my Windows XP machine (TSS Scheduler doesn't respond during install - see previous thread I have left). The install works on a Win 2003 server we have, but going through the DQ tutorial, on the last few pages, it gives instructions on how to export the sample project for ODI. However, after following the instructions I receive several errors (see a previous thread I left today). So far this tool does not seem to be ready to use, at least for Windows platforms. Does anyone have a few moments to help me out? Perhaps walk through fixing the install? Give best practices/tips on how to achieve the scenarios listed above in the short time frame I have?
I have read the instruction manuals, read this forum (almost all threads) and still don't have answers. I have several types of Instant Messengers installed, so communications should not be an issue.
Thanks!
Ben

Although the default action of the submit button is to send the data to the processing script identified in the action attribute, you don't want the form to be submitted when you're using Ajax.
The following is a very simple script that outputs to the browser console the value entered in the form field. To keep the script simple, I have used the W3C Event model, so this won't work in IE 8 or earlier. But it should help you understand how to get the value from a form input field using JavaScript.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
    <p>
        <input type="text" name="user_input" id="user_input">
    </p>
    <p>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
    </p>
</form>
<script>
// Add event listener to submit button
document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', getVal, false);
function getVal(e) {
    // Get the value of the input field
    var val = document.getElementById('user_input').value;
    // Output it to the console
    console.log(val);
    // Prevent the form from submitting
    e.preventDefault();
</script>

well forget what i said then. I see what you are trying to do and it can be done this way but I don't really like it. My opinion however is not important yet!
I suggest you start by calling the init() method in the constructor. I don't see where you called this method and since you didn't then none of the text fields are created.

   super(f);
