How do I get LP7 to treat OMFs like PT does?

I've been working with student films recently and they all use Avid for their video editing. They deliver their projects to me for mixing as a Quicktime file and an OMF from Avid. We have tried exporting it from Avid with different options. Protools opens them flawlessly, but I prefer to use Logic and I don't want to have to purchase that overpriced OMF import tool for PTLE. Also, getting VTC sync going in PT is $$$ but all I need to get for logic is a Unitor8 to go with my AMT.
How can I get Logic to open OMF files correctly? When I open one, it doesn't seem to do the timing correctly on it and ignores the "handles" that most of the files have. When I go to play the file it's a real mess and the director is looking at me like "What is wrong with this studio?".
So how to I get the OMF's to work in Logic correctly? I'd like to have the volume/pan automation and the mutes/handles work correctly. I don't see any settings to change this behavior, and there is little in the manual about it.

When I get home i'll post some screenshots of what i'm seeing. I'll make sure they are OMF 2 files also.
It just seems that Logic messes everything up on the import. By "handles" I mean that each audio file generally has up to about 30 seconds of sound muted at the beginning and end of the region, but the area has been pulled in and muted so that only the desired part plays. You keep them around so that you can catch the click cue to the video when they snap the board on set, but of course you don't want to hear them all of the time. In protools you can just grab the Region Size tool and stretch out the beginning or end of the region to hear them. Fairly standard in post work I believe.
When I import the file into Logic, all of the regions are playing, with no mutes, no "handles", nothing. It's really annoying and basically I have to manually go through every single sound and resize it for it to work, which is hours of work for every revision of the film. Sometimes its downright impossible.
Whatever i'm doing, Protools opens it flawlessly when I click "import OMF" but Logic gives me junk.

How do i get shift f3 to work like it does in my windows machine?

In Word for Windows, the shift-F3 command toggles case. It doesn't in the Mac version of Word. How do I accomplish that?
TIA
Adam Rodman

In MSWORD for Windows, shift-F3 changes the first letter of a word (or highlighted words) to a capital. Coninuing to hold down the shift key and pressing F3 agan capitalizes all the letters in a word (or highlighted). Pressing F3 for a third time, while still holding down the shift key, makes everything lower case. This is a very useful command and I am sure there must be some way to do the same thing in APPLE WORD.
Ideas?

How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does. What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

I Finally resolved my problem after much research. On my I pad 4 with retina in the field under settings there is a list to choose from-- ex. Aol,Google, yahoo, etc. I chose other and entered att. Used pw and bingo! Problem resolved. It is somewhat configured a little different; but at least I can get all of my 500 e mails.
apple takes IMAP but this is under pop And at least my persistence paid off. You would think something so simple would be informative to us in a better way.

How do I get a virtual lab to play,quicktime does not work with this CD,I have quicktime on other computers works fine with this CD. Technician said Cd could

How do I get a virtual lab to work on this computer. The technician said the CD is not compatible. Maybe corrupt. He seemed he did not know
what he was talking about. I asked him was it any software I could download he said no. This CD works fine on my other computer, no it is not an apple computer. And I use quicktime on both computers. But on this apple computer quicktime does not play this CD, which this type
of CD works better with quicktime. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem. This is a new computer, I would hate to think their is nothing that can be done.

I need step by step instructions on how to get my virtual lab cd to work. The technician said cd not compatible or is corrupt. I do not believe their is nothing that can be done. When I put the cd in the side slot nothing comes up on the screen. I have tried several ways, the technician did not seem very knowledgeable on what to do. Also this cd plays fine on my other computer which is not an apple computer. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

Does firefox 5.0 exist and how do I get it? Zynga games says it does and recommends it

Zynga games makes mafia wars, cafe world, and other games for Facebook and Myspace. I have been having loading issues with their games and asked their customer support for help. The link referred to Mozilla Firefox 5.0 and Google Chrome 8.0, both of which are news to me as I am working with Firefox 3.6 right now. What I want to know is does it exist, how do I get it, or was Zynga lying to me? Also SHOCKWAVE KEEPS CRASHING. The Firefox page specifically addresses that issue and says not to worry about it, but it creates an unkillable lag

No, there is no Firefox 5.0. Firefox 4.0 hasn't even been released yet, it is due next month or in February.

How do I get the accuweather to be blue and how do I get the Ovi store thing on the bottom?

That is NOT a picture of a PHONE. The colors, widgets etc are made up, they're not real. As far as I know there is no way except to make your own widget background, hack into the program's code and replace the widget background to your own. I would guess that it's not open source code so good luck. The programming may not be that bad depending on what language it's done with. I have no idea, not a programmer, but sometimes images like backgrounds are stored in DLL files.
To customize individual apps design you need to rebuild the actual software of the app itself. That is not a theme, it's not even a picture of a phone LOL
It's a drawing so they could make stuff any color they want (the blue is probably just a mistake)
edited: The OVI icon I've never seen before. Maybe it's on other carriers but I've never seen it. I know the contact pictures are set in the contacts list, I don't know how to choose an icon for an application shortcut but I know it's possible. Theme makers do it so it mnust be possible to do a single icon.

When signing onto my internet server, firefox brings up a box saying SERVICE CONFIGURATION, how do I get rid of this box and what does it mean?

The box looks as follows:

Is this about Firefox on a desktop computer as your user agent would suggest (the thread is tagged as Firefox OS)?
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup
