Any ideas?

Hello again
To the best of my knowledge, here is how it works. If you
have selected a preloader (meaning a SWF file and NOT a "Loading
screen" - there are two types) You will notice a progress indicator
of sorts. Normally you see it count up to 60% and the project
begins to play. What this is designed to accomplish is that the end
user would never encounter a wait for things to buffer, play a
little, wait, play a little, and so on.
So with a preloader, 60% of the project is received from the
server before the playhead is released and begins to play. The
thought behind this is that with a linear movie that plays from
start to finish, by the time the playhead would ever reach the end
of that 60% part, the remaining 40% will have downloaded and the
user will never encounter a pause.
As I understand it, the loading screen (static image) is used
when you insert a Captivate in a PDF. It serves as an indication
something is present and must be clicked to play it. I'm sure there
are other uses as well.
Cheers... Rick

Try installing Perian. No Mac OS X component or combination of components is capable of opening all AVIs.

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How do I get CS4 Change Quality Presets to be used and remove black bars?

In Encore CS4 I CAN change the quality preset to what I want, but then when I go back to the project it does not stick. I tried to get to transcode settings, but they are greyed out. There does not seem to be a way to "USE" the quality preset I have saved!
This is a single video clip that I sent to Encore from Premier Pro CS4 so I could make DVD and BD's. However it seems I am unable to make a DVD at 4 Mbps (so I can combine this Premier Pro Project with another on a single DVD) no matter what I try. Also I notice the BD I made was not m2v like I am used to in CS3, and therefore are not sure I can combine it with a menu and another clip on a single BD as I have done numerous times in CS3 Encore.
I also notice as I look at preview, and then also when a made a default setting DVD that there are black bars on either side of the picture. This was a 1440X1080 60i project in Premier Pro CS3 and I am desireing to make ait a 1920 X 1080 DVD.
Neither of these were problems in Premier Pro CS3 and I am thinking the way around this is to spend the day or two and redo the project in CS3. I have done many projects successfully in CS3 and mistakenly thought I could just pick up the project in CS4 and be successful again. If anyone knows how to resolve these in CS4, it would save this extra work, if not, I will join the crowd with CS4 "issues" and go back to CS3.

First, on the black bars. I do not want them at all. I cannnot post a screenshot now as
file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side. Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
On the options and is the preset saved. I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource... When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out. I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does. I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works. Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3. I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster. Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial. So first rip every Adobe product off my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done. Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

How do I get my notes to sync between my iPhone and the Notes App on my Mac?

I recently upgraded to the new OS 10.9.1 and I understand that without warning us, Apple has decided to remove notes from Mail and make it a separate App. That's fine, but none of the notes on my iPhone are showing up in the Notes app. I have tried creating a new note in the Notes app, but none of my notes seem to be syncing in either direction. This is a HUGE annoyance as I am constantly putting together memos and lists on my computer that I need to be able to view on my phone later or vice versa. How do I get my two Notes apps to sync with each other?

Ok, I signed out from iCloud and it told me that it removed all the data from my computer. I signed then back in and made sure to recheck the box to sync Notes and still the same problem. It has been over an hour and still none of the notes that are still on my phone have shown up in the Notes app on my Mac. The test note I created in the Notes app on my app is not showing up on my phone either. Furthermore, when I click on the Notes app it is still telling me that this computer can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [email protected] .

How do I get all history when I click on it in the menu bar? My history shows just one day, and bookmarks folders.

What shows up when I click on History is a window displaying a folder for history and a folder for bookmarks. In the history folder is listed only the current tabs that are open, that's all. The other folder is bookmarks, and it shows subfolders for all bookmarks, every one of them. The prior complete display disappeared just recently, a week or so ago.

Are your using the '''Show All History''' menu item?

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to.

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

You don't. The HDMI socket on your MacBook Pro is an output, not an input.
