How can I get an object to rotate around another object in Motion 5? Also, can I export on a transparent background to FCPX?

Attempting to make one .png (its and arrow) rotate around a circlular logo which is also a .png. I need to them come out of Motion 5 for FCPX on a transpartent background. Anyone have any help for me. Stuck on this for hours now.

Thanks Russ...
I spend severale hours (new to Motion) trying to figure out how to set the orbit around the cicular logo. I was able to finally get it. I was missing the square under the orbit behavior that I could plug in the circular logo. lol... Once I got that set, I added to the align to motion behavior and set the drag to that behavior to get it all to rotate and work right. I then published as a generator to FCPX. After setting the background to transparent.
Works like a charm. Just took most of my day trying to figure it out. lol.. But thats how you learn I guess.
Thanks for the reply!

HT1459 I can't get my ipod shuffle to connect to my computer and I also can't find the serial number on it

When I go to download my book the computer tells me that it's not connected. What is all this nonsense I just want to get this I pod to play books, I have now spent three days trying to get something on to it and all I get from the computer is pages and pages of stuff, and that is not the s word I want to use, to read. None of which has been helpful.

Try these:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- Make sure the router is using one of the 2.4 Hz bans since the iPod does not support the 5 GHz N band.

Having trouble with multiple rotations around an objects poles

Hey all, i am new to java 3d (only started coding today) but i have been coding in Java for a while..
I am having a problem understanding how to perform the rotations i want to. I have read the majority of the literature i can find on performing these kinds of rotations. I realise that i need to have correctly linked nodes in the graph so that i am rotating around the correct points and i think i have accomplished this. However, i cannot get the system to rotate around the objects poles. To clarify, i can get the object to rotate around one of its poles (x , y, z) in some cases but trying to do multiple rotations causes problems.

     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          new TestRotation();
}As you can see the code is a full class so you can copy and paste it to run it... In the 'begin' method you will notice the variables that update the rotation, currently when the cube rotates on the y axis the cube is rotating around the viewers Y axis and not around the objects y pole. However, if you change the values so the cube is set to rotate around the X axis then it will treat the x axis as the objects x pole and not the viewers x axis. I presume this is because of the multiplication of the matrices.
What i want to know is how can i set it so that if i say rotate around the y axis it rotates the cube around its y axis (as in the y pole) regardless of where the y pole is. Not only that but i need to be able to rotate around multiple axis ensuring that it is rotating around the objects poles correctly.
The reason for this is that the object will be turned into an auv (underwater vehicle) fitted with thrusters which are going to turn the vehicle so no matter how the vehicle is positioned (facing up, upside down etc) the thruster always rotate around the same axis on the block.
Hope this makes sense, sorry for the long post!!

Since the 2-Wire gateway is providing both modem and DHCP services, you would want to insure that the Time Capsule is not also configured to provide DHCP services as well. If this were the case, that would mean two routers are trying to do the same thing on the same network. You only want one device on a network performing as a router.
The reason for this is that a two router setup is likey to create IP address conflicts on the network, which likely may be your issue.
To check, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is set to Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save the correct setting
Then power cycle the entire network by powering off all devices in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Start the 2-Wire gateway first and let it run a minute by itself
Start the Time Capsule next the same way
Continue starting devices the same way until everything is powered back up.
Power off the entire network...all devices...and wait a minute

No... do not move programs.

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

My video's have moved a few times so I have many of the movies showing up 4 times. But only one of the 4 is the real path. How to I get rid of the invalid paths in mass? I know I can get rid of them one-by-one but I want to do a bulk clean up.

I have many movies. I have moved them a few times. Now each movie shows up about 4 times in the video list but only 1 of the 4 is a valid path. How can I get rid of the invalid one in-mass. I know I can do them individually but it would take too long. So I want to do a bulk clean up so all the links are valid but I can't find a way to do it.

Install iTunes Folder Watch and set its option to check for dead tracks on startup. This will root out any tracks that are no longer in your folders, and can add any that are in your folders, but not in iTunes.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

There is no activation mechanism in Lightroom. Hence no Help > Deactivate.
Only need to uninstall. Or leave it installed since the license allows two installations.

I can not get some apps to rotate to the landscape or horizonal position. Help !

Not all apps support landscape positioning. If you'll post the name of the apps you are having problems with, someone can probably tell you if that is indeed the case in your situation.
