How do I create a new event from a section of a long video clip

When I try to select a section of a long clip and drag it to a new event in the iMovie event library, the whole clip moves into the new event. Isn't there a way to just select and move a section to the new event?

This does work, but the process is crushingly difficult for my mother. (Try to explain to a 60 year old that you need to reveal the clip in finder. Trim it, save it, trim it, save it, etc for each part of the video. Then re-import those clips into iMovie and delete the original large file from your events). This could have been accomplished with one keyboard shortcut or menu command.
I'm opposed to creating projects to organize events because it doesn't make sense when creating a Christmas montage to open a project and look for a clip then find it in the events when you could otherwise just look through Christmas 1984 and pull the clip you want. It creates a dual paradigm.
More than anything I want to attract Apple to this glaring flaw in their product. I can't see the downside of in-app splitting of events which was a feature of iMovie v9. Why remove it entirely? I know it's a rarely used feature, it could have been suitably hidden to avoid accidents. It wouldn't frustrate the average user, but it has confused the ever-living **** out of my mother.

How do i create a new Event in the new Photos?

I have imported some photos into my new Photos library but unlike before they don't show up as an Event. How do i create a new Event and move them into this Event?

You don't. Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.

How do I create a new event entry for a specific calendar?

In my iMac Calendar app, I have created a few calendars for different functions. But every time I try to create a new event entry for a specific calendar, the app seems to prefer a different calendar instead by default. I cannot enter events in other calendars. Is there a way to do this? In previous versions, I would highlight the particular calendar I wanted to work with and the entry would go into that calendar. Thanks!

How can I create a new event without it automatically being an all-day event?

When I create a new event in iCal, it automatically creates an all-day event. (By create, i mean double-clicking in the month view.) Is there any way to change it back to hourly when you create an event, like in Snow Leopard? Although this is easy to get around, it's just annoying as I rarely create all day events.

I was really frustrated by this change in Lion as I prefer to use the month view and I hate the way it defaults to an all day event. So I was very pleased to find this solution in the Mac OS X Hints. Simply type "Dinner at 6 pm" and it enters "Dinner" at 6 pm for one hour. If you want anything other than an hour, put "6 - 8 pm" (or whatever period you want. Brilliant. Just wish Apple figured out a way to tell me that without having to search the communities here for an answer.
Thanks Ferd II.

How can I create a new table from a filed cell?

Every time that I fill a row of cells I want to creat a new table with the content of that cells.
How can I do it?
Donw here it´s the example.
From the top table, I want to fill these rows, and everytime that it´s done, I want that a new table apears like the cells under.
There is any Way to do it?
In the Spanish version of Number I found in the references formulas, one formula called "DIRECTION" that describes to do this.
But I found no way to do it.
The above formula it´s this:
=DIRECCION(row; collumn; type of direction; stile of direction; table name)
Anyone can help me?
I really need this solution.

Otto,
Based on the syntax you quoted for that function, the english equivalent is "Address". It doesn't create a Table, but rather it creates an Address that references a Cell, in the form of a String. The common, and only, use that I am aware of for Address is to use it as the parameter for INDIRECT. For example: INDIRECT(ADDRESS)) will produce a reference to a table cell, but it will not produce a table.

how would i create a table from the addresses.sql file?

stmt.executeUpdate("\\. addresses.sql");This, of course, will not work.
You might even execute it the same way you do from command line with some Runtime.exec() jugglery but I would suggest you to work with my first suggestion unless someone else came up with something better.

Thanks

This is the forum SQL Developer (Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions).
Your question would probably be better in a Google forum since the answer is probably somewhere in google's API. Or if you want to extract items from your file, try the SQL and PL/SQL forum here, or possibly one of the XML development forums.

How Do I Create a New Template for iBooks Author?

Apple's provided templates are way too narrow for some of the ideas I want to implement. I do not see any real method for creating a template from scratch. I stripped one of the available templates down to nothing and rebuilt some of the pages and then selected Save As Template... but iBooks Author keeps the original template as the content instead of allowing me to use my own created Chapter, Section, and Pages with the Add Pages.. Button.
How to you create a new template from scratch? I think it is absurd if you can only create a new template from one of the 6 predefined templates.

Be careful on unlocking and deleting stuff, cause this very easily can destroy the layout and your current arrangement
About dimensions, If i am not mistaken, i read on another thread that this cannot be happen.

How can I create a new Music Library?

Had to buy new laptop which of course has Vista. The old unit was acting up(I think Windows XP was corrupt), so I saved my Library Files but it looks like the old machine only saved portions not the whole Library. I had approx. 13,000 tunes (35GB) in the LIbrary and all that was saved seems to be 319 tunes. I have all the music on an external HD and only the Library was on the laptop. My question is, how can I create a new Library from the external HD music? Is there a way or am I SOL? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

You need the entire libary on the external, not just media.

Once you get a complete iTunes folder on the external drive, start iTunes with the option/alt key held down and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive. You will also need to do this with your main computer or the libraries will become unsynchronized.
Alternatively you can make a separate library using the same media on the second computer. Start as you have been doing, let iTunes create a new, blank library file which will be on hte internal drive, set the media folder location in preferences to be the one on the external drive, then add the files to the new iTunes library. Unless you are a super-organized individual, or you don't care if your libraries do not have the same content, you are better off using a single library file that is on the external, not setting up separate library files.
