How did it become 720x480??

I imported some footage from a video camera into iMovie a few years ago and just noticed that this footage is 720x480 rather than 640x480. How could this have happened? Does this mean the aspect ratio has been modified?
It is possible that I wrote out the footage in full DV and then moved it back into iMovie. Perhaps this is when the aspect ratio got messed up.

This is probably normal if your file was captured/imported in the NTSC standard. If you open the file in the QT Player and check the "Inspector" window, you will probably see somethings like this:
As you can see the format is listed as "720 x 480 (640 x 480)" which indicates that while the file will display as 720 x 480 on a "rectangular" pixel device, it is displayed properly on a "square" pixel device as "640 x 480" in QT applications unless the "Current Size" settings have been modified.

How did songs become corrupt?

An unknown portion of the AIFF's in my collection that used to play well, has become corrupt. The AIFF's aren't playable anymore. Everytime I click the play-button, the beachball pops up and the hard disk starts clicking.
The corrupt AIFF's can be repaired by deleting them and than adding them to the library again. But by doing so they loose the meta-data.
Also, the corrupt AIFF's can be copied by choosing 'Convert selection to AIFF'. The copy of the AIFF is playable and the meta-data is being kept. But the copyprocess takes a long time and makes the HD start clicking.
What's happening?

Before you do anything else, you should change the drive letter associated with your iPod.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time. Hence the different iPod showing up when you connected yours.
Once you've sorted out this confusion, you can sync your iPod with your library to reload the songs.

I bought my copy of leopard today at Compusa...I realize the clear dock in some of the computers they have on display...I ask him and he doesn't have any idea of how this is done....
i found this out but it's not the same thing:
open terminal and copy this line of code:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
( if you want to bring back the glassy looking dock just change YES with NO, you need to restart the computer everytime to see the changes.

In iOS 7 how did I search songs in my music library?

In iOS 7 how did I search songs in my music library?

How stupid is this design?! Unless you happen to be positioned the top of the displayed list (song, artist, album, etc.) there's no way you'd find the search (aka, spotlight) option.
Why not put the option in a non-scrollable area of the screen, so it's always visible?
As iOS 'evolves', it's interface seems to be becoming less intuitive. Sad.

How did my site get hacked?

Earlier this week, 7 sites on 3 different servers (Go-daddy, Lunar Pages, and another ) were allegedly hacked and blocked in Firefox, Chrome and Google search results.
I use iObit and advanced system care to keep my pc clean. My pc, as scanned by these programs has no malware. I have over 40 sites in my Dreamweaver site definitions
On 6 of the sites, I removed everything on the server, re-uploaded the sites and requested a review.
On 1 of the sites, the hosting provider scanned the site and found nothing.
On 1 of the sites, I did nothing and requested a review.
All 7 sites were restored/unblocked.
I've spent hour upon hour researching including but not limited to stopbadware.org and antiphishing.org and can't figure out how/why this happened and since my pc is allegedly clean,
I am wondering:
A) if there is a security hole in the Dreamweaver communications with Adobe.
B) They were false Positives =( My webmaster tools currently say Google has not detected any malware on this site.)
I've always practiced "safe computing" and don't know what else to do to prevent this from happening again.
Has anyone else had a problem such as this recently?

Sites, especially popular ones, often become targets to hackers & robots who find vulnerabilities on the server or in your forms & scripts which allows them to inject malicious code into web pages. I had this happen about 2 years ago on a dedicated server. Fortunately, the files on my local drive were clean so I was able to replace the remote site in a few hours.
How did it happen? According to the hosting company nothing was wrong at their end. So we may never know exactly how the hackers got in. The server hosted 5 sites at the time but only one site was hacked.
WordPress and other open source frameworks are especially attractive to hackers. If you use PHP & MySql, take necessary security precautions.
Use strong passwords for everything. A minimum of 17 characters, alpha-numeric, upper & lower, with symbols. If you can remember your passwords, they're not strong enough. Write them down. And change your passwords regularly.
Consider getting Secure Live which stops & blocks attackers IP addresses and sends them to the FBI's database. https://www.securelive.com/

How do I become Authorized?

I was given an ipod nano by my friend with music already on it. I took the music from that and put it onto my iTunes. I tried to put that music from the nano onto my ipod touch but it says that I was not authorized to listen to it. How do I become authorized?

iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
You need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account that purchases the items.
Just delete the songs. The music did not transfer with the iPod hardware.

My Blackberry ID is not an actual e-mail address... How did it get accepted???

Hey fellow BB users,
Unfrotunately my Blackberry ID was created last year, using a mis-entered email address...
Its an address with a domain that doesn't even exist...
<<[email protected]_extra_characters_put_here_accidently>>
So I'm now on my final attempt (9/10) at guessing my password, after trying every possible combination of my usual ones...
Before I try my luck at it, I wanted to know two things.
1. How did an account become active without e-mail confirmation?
2. Is there anything else I can do, besides get my final guess wrong and initiate the security wipe???
Thanks!!!
Solved!

It is built in to do so...there is no requirement to Validate the account prior to use. However, one of the recovery methods does require that the account have already been validated in order to recover the account...unfortunately, that's the one you'd need to fix this, and so that won't be possible.

There will be no Security Wipe after the last failed attempt on this...refer:
Article ID: KB24157 BlackBerry ID lockout behavior
The Security WIPE would only be initiated after too many failed attempts at the Device Lock password, but not the BBID credential.
There is nothing you can do. With your situation, the "original sin" was the erroneous use of an invalid email address at the origination of the BBID account. There is no way to now "fix" that. But, refer (just in case):
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
What I predict will be needed is for you to indeed WIPE your device, then create a new (and valid) BBID account as part of the initial setup, then reconfigure manually everything on the device as if it were brand new. You will lose any purchases made under that invalid BBID, but that's the result of the "original sin".
Good luck!

How did my desktop appear on another computer after Leopard install?

I have a Mac G5 connected by ethernet to a cable company. I bought a MacBook for Chicago which is 2,000 miles away. After upgrading my G5 with Leopard I physically took the Leopard CD to Chicago and installed it on my MacBook in Chicago where I have wireless (router) After the install, my desktop was duplicated on this MacBook from the G5 in California. I never had these two computers connected, nor have I ever done a file sharing manipulation between these two computers.
One of the files on the desk top on my MacBook, when opened reveals all my files just like the one in CA except I can't open any of them because the program cannot be found. That is not suprising at all because I never installed any of these programs.
One program did open and can be used however and that is PhotoShop which I use lot on my G5. I never installed that program on my MacBook.
How did this stuff get on my MacBook? I believe there is a bug in the Leopard CD that performs all the functions I could do manually to get this desk top to duplicate.
What do you say?

Lizard33, Welcome to the discussion area!
Do you have a .Mac account? If so you are probably seeing the new Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature in operation.

I lost my status from Administrator to standard. Now I have no way of accessing anything into my mac. How did this happen? And how can I go back to being a admin? I'm the only account on my mac and now I cant access anything. Help Help!!1

which model Mac do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

Safari 5.1 now is garbled with many of the sites having lines on top of each other. Is any one else having that issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks in advance for any help.

"Did you make the .psd file with a transparent background (checkerboard) in Photoshop? And when you placed it in AI did you choose the top option Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects?"
Yep, and it still didn't work.
But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
Thanks so much, and thanks A MILLION for being so patient.
Jeez, when can I get some textbook to learn all the intricacies of Illustrator?

How DID I get this much data on my iPod Touch 1st gen?

ITunes on my brand new MacBook Pro shows 3762 songs at 62.84 GB with 99.9999% of them being AAC encoded.
My 1st gen 32GB iPod Touch holds ALL of that data, plus 210 apps -- and everything works/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png Select any song at random and it will play. Select any app and it will run/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic__ _/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png 62.84GB of songs on a 32GB Touch?? How did I do that? Plus, it STILL has 6.7GB available/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsst atic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png It's running iOS 3.1.3. I've added songs and apps over the years without any problems whatsoever.
My wife has a 30GB iPod Video White (5th gen) -- it has 4342 songs, with 9.4GB still available/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png I loaded everything I had in my iTunes, and she's been adding songs on her own. So hers ALSO has more GBs of songs on it than it was made to hold. And hers works fine as well.
Now we get a brand new up-to-date 32GB iPod Touch 4th gen (Retina Display, FaceTime, etc). It's the latest and greatest (she got it through an employee incentive point plan at Boeing). I wasn't even thinking about how much data was in the 1st gen Touch -- my brain was just saying I've got all my songs and apps in my 1st gen, so I should be able to get all of it in the new 4th gen model. They're both 32GB, and the overhead (system, etc), is almost identical (okay, the 1st gen had 29+GB free and the 4th gen has 28+GB free). Still, pretty comparable.
I tried to sync iTunes with the new 4th gen iPod Touch and it says only about 1500 songs (of the 3762 total) can be loaded. That's it. No more/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png That would also mean NO apps at all.
We tried to get this explained at a One-to-One meeting AND the Genius Bar at our local Apple Store, but NOBODY had an answer.
How is it that my old 1st gen 32GB Touch can hold more than twice the GB of songs AND 210 apps at the same time, and work, while the new 4th gen Touch is doing "sorta" what's expected of it -- that is, running out of space with only 1500 songs
One possibility is that both old iPod's began their lives under iTunes 9.x. But I've updated iTunes consistently as it has moved into v10 and both older models have had apps and music added using whatever the latest version of iTunes has been released.
Could that be the reason? Has anybody heard of this before? Can anybody explain it? The guys at the store were stumped. So am I. They "apologized" and said they understood how we felt, but there wasn't any resolution to the question. Other than -- DON'T mess with the old models as long as they are working Yeah, but I'd like to see the NEW model behave the same Wouldn't we all?

No, the option you mention is/was NOT checked. When I talked to two people at the Apple store (One-to-One) and the Genius Bar, they said that it was correctly set (that is, NOT checked), considering the files were ALREADY AAC encoded.
As I posted, pretty much all of the songs are already encoded as AAC files. They have all been captured off CD's in that format, or purchased from iTunes in that format. They were transferred to the 1st gen Touch in that format, and the attempt was made to make the exact same transfer to the new 4th gen Touch in the exact same format -- with the result that barely half would transfer over to the new Touch.
One would think that it might be set one way for the older model and one way for the newer, but that's not the case. As an FYI, I DID try checking that option after the first failure of getting everything to load, but it didn't make any difference.

I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

How did you feel about your first mac?

As an early christmas present I received a 13 inch macbook air, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual core cpu.
I am mostly used to PC laptops running linux or often I put solaris on them. I study Computer Science and have Asperger's Syndrome.
I got my mac as windows had too much bloatware and Linux was too unstable on my 64-bit hardware (needed 6 GiB RAM for large compilations). I was going to use the macbook air to take notes and some minor work between classes such as writing assembly subroutines, C and java. The primary use of this system was going to be as a personal assistant to have my calendar and files etc.
The system is so powerful with a full 12 hours battery life when working on the localhost that it can out-do a 2.4GHz dual core with 6 GiB RAM PC running any OS. This system is now used for all my work due to it's capabilities and portability. After only one week with a mac I dont know how I lived without one, and my carer says it has made me show immense improvements day-to-day. I am now tempted to learn Objective-C as well as how to use Cocoa from Python to be more efficient, especially after seeing the perfection in this system.
How did you feel when you got your first mac?

A related question might be, what did you think about the introduction of the IBM PC?
I had been designing digital systems and working with computers for a few years before the PC's introduction in 1981. The mainstay systems were 8 bit Z80 or 8085 machines running at 4 or 6 MHz. They ran CP/M with its command line interface. Although the maximum memory these systems could use was 64 MB, being a single user, single-task operating sytem, even the most resource-hungry programs (word processors for instance) ran very fast. CP/M itself needed only a few K.
Dual floppy disk systems were common, 180 KB per disk unless you had double sided floppies - 360 K. The A drive booted the operating system, after which you could insert a program disk. The B drive held your data. I had one machine with a whopping 5 MB hard disk - the C drive. I treated it with special reverence.
When rumors began about IBM producing its version of a desktop PC, many people including myself had grand expectations. Clearly Big Blue would emerge as the leader in desktop computers, since they had the resources to dictate what the standard would be. Everyone knew the others would be left in the dust. What kind of processor would it use? How much memory? Would it have a slimmed down version of the multiuser, multitasking operating system used in its System/34 minicomputer? Or would it resemble something that DEC used in its PDP-11?
Well, when the IBM PC came out in 1981, needless to say it was an enormous disappointment. It wasn't much better than anything else I had already been using for three or four years already, except the PC was much, much more expensive. No hard disk unless you wanted to buy an upgraded power supply (more $$$) and then all they offered was 10 MB. Forget about multiple users or multitasking. It didn't even have the equivalent of CP/M's PIP. The whole thing seemed... intentionally crippled. This was supposed to be the future of computing? In my opinion it was a major step backward. The XT that followed it offered only minimal improvements. I rejected the IBM PC as not cost effective and kept using my CP/M dinosaurs.
So, when Apple introduced the Macintosh a couple years later I finally saw, in the flesh, what I thought a computer ought to be. A totally bit mapped display, a robust 16/32 bit processor, real sound capability (everything before it could only "beep") and a true graphical UI. You could name a file anything you want, no 8x3 idiocy. +To this day+ Windows carries remnants of 8x3 filenames!
The Macintosh blew away the PC, if not in performance, in its potential. Unlike the "crippled" PC the Mac seemed limitless. This was cool. The Mac wasn't without limitations though - there was no good way to install a hard disk for instance - but for some reason I considered those limitations trivial and believed they would be overcome in the near future. I waited for the first "upgrade" - the "Fat Mac" with a whopping 512K memory. Half a megabyte!
I used that computer for several years, until the SE/30 came out, which I kept in service for about ten years. I ultimately expanded its memory to 32 MB while PC users were struggling with extended memory or expanded memory - you had to know which was which - to get beyond the PC's stupid 640K barrier. My 30 MB HD eventually grew small, but that was easily remedied with an external SCSI drive. Although the computer did everything I ever expected it to do, the Internet eventually made it functionally obsolete. It could run a browser (forget which one) but the black and white limitation made it marginally useful.
I eventually replaced it with an iMac, which echoed the original Mac's introduction with its forward-thinking design. The iMac opened up a new world in much the same way the original Macintosh did in 1984.
All my Macs still work.

That pretty much sums it up.
In retrospect, I believe that IBM and its marriage of convenience with Microsoft delayed the evolution of desktop computing a decade or more. I cringe whenever I think of the aggregate productivity loss and utter frustration shared by millions of PC / Windows devotees all these years.

How did it become 720x480??
