Hey guys i need some help!!!

I have a slow iMovie4 but only when I am in timeline view.

sometimes, when a project gets a degree of 'complexity' it could start to behave odd...
how long is your project?
have you done 'zillions of trial & error edits'?
is it possible for your workflow, to export the whole project to tape, and re-import into a new iM project (=no quality loss...)? that 'consolidates' the internal files of a iM project and it is a 'fresh' start...
and set iM's prefs for Playback to 'Standard' ....

  • Hey Guys, I need some help here

    Im doing some create view and create procedures for my work.
    In creating view, its just done perfectly.
    However with create procedures work, I got some problem with the result.
    So here is the coding:
    create or replace

    After i run this coding.
    I got these errors :
    1)Error(46,5): PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored.
    2)Error(46,5): PLS-00394: wrong number of values in the INTO list of a FETCH statement
    It says that the error is with this code "FETCH v_cursor INTO v_row;"
    Can someone please help me.

    ok let me explain with emp table.
    DECLARE
    CURSOR c IS SELECT ename,sal FROM emp;
    v_ename VARCHAR2(2000);
    BEGIN
    OPEN c;
    LOOP
    FETCH c INTO v_ename;
    EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
    Dbms_Output.put_line(v_name);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c;
    END;Here i'm selecting 2 columns in the cursor and getting into one variable.
    So i'm getting error like this
    ORA-06550: line 7, column 1:
    PLS-00394: wrong number of values in the INTO list of a FETCH statement
    ORA-06550: line 7, column 1:

    DECLARE
    CURSOR c IS SELECT ename,sal FROM emp;
    v_ename VARCHAR2(2000);
    v_sal NUMBER(10);
    BEGIN
    OPEN c;
    LOOP
    FETCH c INTO v_ename,v_sal;
    EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
    Dbms_Output.put_line(v_ename||v_sal);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c;
    END;Here i'm selecting 2 columns in the cursor and getting into two different variables.so no error.
    DECLARE
    CURSOR c IS SELECT ename,sal FROM emp;
    v_row c%rowtype; -->record type declaration
    BEGIN
    OPEN c;
    LOOP
    FETCH c INTO v_row;
    EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
    Dbms_Output.put_line(v_row.ename||v_row.sal);---> Here i'm mentioning which column to be printed
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c;
    END;Same thing i'm getting all columns variable into the records so no error.

  • Alright guys I need some help here with itunes and my music files

         Basically, I've had two apple accounts in the past like 4 years.  One day I connect my Ipod touch to my computer and downloaded an update from Itunes, not knowing that it erases all your content.  I didnt have my music files backed up either, so I ended up losing over $300 worth of music and apps.  Ever since then I never updated my touch, from the fear of losing my music.  Now that I have my own apple account, I have music files from the first account and my account.  My question is how can I back both of these groups of files up and update my ipod without losing any of this content!?  I would really appreciate a step by step process etc.  Thanks guys for helping me out!

  • Guys I need some help. String token of a wired message

    well this is my code.

    let me explain a lil. The program is actually a daemon. It works fine. In the body run, that's the thingy which did string token. It works fine. But
    i am creating something that will split (1a) into 2 piece, and another will spilt the other piece.
    The senario, the daemon will receive a string, like "*abcde,1,2,3,hello%"
    where * = STX (ASCII 02) and % ETX (ASCII 03)
    the first loop will eliminate the STX, then seggregate the text to a loop, for example a=abcde, b=1, c=3, d=hello%.
    *what i managed to do is only string token the normal characters, not the ASCII characters 
    then the final loop will grab strtoken the % char.
    i have been trying tht for 1 whole days.. n e ideas guys ?
    thanks in advance.

    my iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
    If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
    If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
    Let me know!

  • Need some help in Rounding a double value to a whole number

    Hey Peeps,
    Need some help here, I got a method that returns a value in double after a series of calculation.
    I need to know how can I round the double value, so for example,
    1. if the value is 62222.22222222, it rounds to 62222 and
    2. if the value is 15555.555555, it rounds to 15556
    How can i do this
    Zub

    Hi Keerthi- Try this...
    1. if the value is 62222.22222222, it rounds to 62222 and
    double d = 62222.22222222;long l = (int)Math.round(d * 100); // truncatesd = l / 100.0;
    double d = 62222.22222222;
    System.out.println(d);
    long l = (int)Math.round(d * 100);
    // truncatesSystem.out.println(l);
    d = l / 100.0;System.out.println(d);
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
    {    d -= 0.1;}
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)

  • Need some help with sound quality

    Hi guys, new here. I'm working on creating an album on my own. Bass and vocals are real, everything else is using software instruments. I have about 8 songs done, but the problem is I don't really know what I'm doing as far as recording and levels go.
    I'm using studio headphones and everything sounds fantastic through them, and even pretty good if I just hook up some earbuds, but when I bounce out a track and burn them to do a disc and play it in my car, it sounds awful. Suddenly the guitar is too low, drums are too loud.
    I really need some help here. I'm even willing to pay someone to get me on the right track. Using paypal or whatever.

    AecDuck wrote:
    Where's the fun in that? Maybe you have different motives, but I got into home recording because I like doing things myself, even if I have to learn the hard way. If you know enough to get good bass and vocal recordings and mix that with virtual instruments, then you are well on your way to making a decent sounding mix. Mixing in headphones can be very deceiving. Things simply sound different in headphones. You need some monitors, even if they are crappy because if you can get it to sound good in crappy monitors it will likely sound good on other speakers.
    The fun and experience comes from getting a good balance that sounds good in headphones, and in the monitors, and in your home stereo, and in your car stereo. Use the different audio systems as a reference. If the drums are too quiet in the car, bring them up a bit. If the bass is too loud in your headphones, put them down a bit.
    If you bring in your recordings to be mixed by somebody else, first of all you're going to end up paying hundreds, if not $1000+ dollars, even in a sub-par studio. Secondly, it's never going to sound how you want it to sound. It's going to sound how THEY want it to sound.
    I know it takes longer, and it's hard work, but you will have such a tremendous amount of satisfaction when your project is done knowing that YOU recording it, and YOU mixed it on YOUR equipment. It will be 100% yours.
    Where's the fun? How about the fun in interacting with another human being? How about the satisfaction in having another validate what you've been trying to produce?
    I don't think it's helpful to make generalizations about what type of experience the OP might have in getting professional help. I have had good experiences working with mixing engineers, and perhaps I have just been lucky, but I've been able to produce music that sounded how I wanted it to sound, but at a level beyond which my skill at the time would have been able to produce, AND I gained some insights to help me in the future.
    It IS satisfying to teach yourself a new skill. And it takes a lot of patience, trial and error, and you might miss the mark more often than you hit it. If you're in a rush, it might be a viable solution to contact some studios and see if you can work with them. Learning from others is perfectly acceptable.

  • Need some help with wine + midi

    Howdi guys!
    I need some help. I'd like to run an application which is only available for Windows and OSX, so my choice is wine. This application needs to send midi signals to the hardware it is supposed to control.
    In the product's forum there is a thread which shows how it can be done. But the newest releases of wine don't allow this, because it doesn't support jack anymore.
    I think basically it doesn't matter which application it is I run in wine, the question is, is it possible to send midi signals in and out through wine? If so, how? Might be that it's quite trivial, in my defense I have to say that I never worked with midi before.
    The soundcard I use is an Edirol UA-25 which is fully supported in Linux, midi works.
    Thanks for any ideas!
    edit: Forgot two things: I know I could try older versions of wine or running it in a virtual machine, but I want to avoid this.
    Last edited by Army (2012-04-27 07:15:33)

    For that app, you will probably be using the ALSA-midi interface. So, you shouldn't require Wine to have jack support. - In fact, that picture clearly shows that Wine is using ALSA-midi, but he is using jackd + a2jmidid (which exposes alsa-midi 2 jack-midi).
    As long as that software doesn't require a special driver, you should be able to use it. As for the specifics, i would imagine that you would start jackd, start a2jmidid and then start your application. - you also have to make sure your midi device is connecting before launching your app in wine - otherwise the device won't show up in your wine app. You also will need to select your midi interface in your application. After this, you should be able to connect your wine app (through the a2jmidi bridge) to your hardware.
    But if for whatever reason you can't get it too work ~ i do actually use a VM for updating firmware on 2 different audio devices (a soundcard and midi-controller) - and it works great. I am using VMware, but i would imagine virtualbox would work very similar..

  • Need some help frist time useing dreamweaver

    Hey all,
    I am totaly new to Dreamweaver and am needing some help. I am
    needing to make a feedback form. Would need it to e-mail me the
    feedback to something like [email protected] I also need to know
    how to make a footer for the copyright and desiged by, on each page
    without having to manually entering them. Any help I could get
    would be awsome.

    There are only two ways to process form data -
    1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
    2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
    form's data, b)
    process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
    formulate and
    send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
    redirect the visitor
    to some ending page
    Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
    depends both
    on your visitor having an email client already installed on
    their computer -
    this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
    clients
    installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
    email client
    responding to
    the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
    send the
    visitor to a
    thank you page as well.
    Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
    problems of
    method
    1, but it means that you have to grapple with
    server-scripting somehow (ASP,
    CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
    Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
    like

    You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
    your needs,
    but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
    they provide for
    form
    processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
    carefully.
    For your footer, investigate the use of DW's Templates (use
    F1 Help to read
    about them), or of server-side includes (again, F1 Help will
    give you some
    info here, as will Google).

  • Need some help and guidance please!

    Hi everyone,
    I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end.   In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US.  Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional.  Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error.  I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.  
    I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie.  He/she said that she could see no issue.  (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well.  He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
    I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning.  They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP.  I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP.  I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
    I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device.  The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor. 
    That is where I stand.  HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware.  I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support.   Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue?  I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair.  If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?   

    Dear ndjumpball,
    I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice.  Regretfully, I do not.  I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school.  My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7.  Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable.  I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
    I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for:  decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay.  Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too.  It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard.  Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment.  Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install.  In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you.  The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care:  "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not.  If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
    After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology...  Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series.  (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
    A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working.  After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro.  After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
    My personal recommendation:  clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install.  Bottom line:  your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine.  You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
    I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent!  :-)
