How do I get Streamclip AVI files that were saved without first installing Quicktime ALternative 1.81 to play in Premiere Elements 11?

I had Hi-8 "home movie" tapes transferred to mp4 files. To pull many short clips from these long files, I used MPEG Streamclip 1.2. The default save for these short clips was mp4. Either they didn't work in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or I thought they wouldn't -- I can't recall now -- so I saved each clip as AVI. These AVI files won't play at all in Premier Elements. I Googled for advice and found that I needed to convert to Quicktime Alternate 1.81. I fear this had to be done before I saved the clips, but I didn't realize that. Still, I just now uninstalled Quicktime 7 and installed Quicktime 1.81, then tried converting the AVI clips files, first back to MP4 (didn't work at all in PE11) and then to MOV (only played audio). The AVI files play fine in Windows Media Player and VLC. All I have are the original files saved as AVI in Streamclip. Is there any way to get these to play and be editable in Premiere Elements 11? I've attached a jpeg capture of a gspot readout for one of these files. THANKS!

Glad that you finally sorted out what you were doing and discovered DV AVI.
In your particular situation Prism would serve your purposes of generating the DV AVI 4:3 since your footage is 640 x 480. However, for others with different footage, the free Prism shortcoming is that it cannot offer DV AVI widescreen 16:9; whereas MPEG Streamclip can do the job for 16:9 as well as 4:3.
QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 that does come with the MPEG Streamclip's required MPEG2 Playback Component (free) also meets the Premiere Elements requirement for QuickTime installed on computer with Premiere Elements to work. This works in spite of the fact that QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 is not the latest version of the regular QuickTIme.
In post 2 of the following older thread, I detail the use of Prism (for 4:3) and MPEG Streamclip (for 4:3 and 16:9) to produce the DV AVI file.

Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Moving forward, do not use AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) or H.264.avi in Premiere Elements. It is not supported.

How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have? You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone

How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer? I need to free up space on my iPad

Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch. If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

This is an Adobe Illustrator File that was saved without PDF Content.

Hi everybody,
I'm working in illustrator CS6 and I am trying to save my file as PDF. However I can't seem to do it.
I save the file as an ai. file and click the "Create PDF Compatible File" option. Then when I click >save as >and opt for the PDF version and click save the PDF file comes up with no images and just the .....
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was
saved without PDF Content.
To Place or open this le in other
applications, it should be re-saved from
Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF
Compatible File" option turned on. This
option is in the Illustrator Native Format
Options dialog box, which appears when
saving an Adobe Illustrator le using the
Save As command.
This hasn't happened before when saving to PDF previously. If you could offer any help or advice I would much appreciate it.
Cheers

Rosie,
This is seriously weird: even if you have Create PDF Compatible File unticked you should be able to Save As PDF.
There may be something corrupt, so the list may be worth trying:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How can I get rid of files that cannot be imported error message

Hello, this is my first post. I am a new mac user. I have imported my jpgs from an external hard drive which was in the most part successful, however, 14 of the files appear to be corrupted and every time I open iphoto9, I get the error message, '14 of your files could not be imported, would you like to import them now?' I have tried choosing both options yes and no and it then writes error message telling me it has created recovered photos folder. When you go to this folder it is empty and every time I restart iphoto, I get the same message. I have tried deleting all the files and re-importing only to find that the number of corrupted files has now doubled. I have also deleted the iphotos library recovered photo folders to no avail. I have tried creating a new library and importing the files to that but the same problem occurred. How can I get rid of this repeated error as I am now up to recovered folder number 47! Help!

P Robbins
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (in the pictures folder by default) and select the show package contents command - find the import (or importing) folder and drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - you should be fine now - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them then trash the folder

How do I get access to files that I transfered from migration assistant

Help? I had to do an erase and reloaded the software on my 2008 imac, and did a file transfer from my time capsule using the migration assistant. I see where the files are, but have no access...can anyone help me ? how do I now get access to the files that I transfered?

I realize it is not good to get time-machine created files back by going through finder, but that seems like that is my only option.
Were you trying to access it via either Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant? If those don't work, you still may be able to use the "Star Wars" display to see and restore some data. It all depends on just what and where the damage is.
If you can get into the display, you may be able to restore the iPhoto Library; start with the most recent backup, and work back in time.
the problem now is the folder is locked with a big red no go sign, and command-i cannot change it (not even when i do it on the computer on which the file was created).
Correct; Time Machine protects it's backups with very restrictive ACLs, basically "nobody can do anything," so us mere mortals won't damage them.
If you use the same user account on the same Mac that did the backup, via the Finder, you should have read rights, and you may be able to copy from the backups.
if i succeed, am i going to see my iphoto library file in that folder?
Yes. Each of those date-stamped backup folders should contain a set of "hard links" to the backup copies of everything that was on your system at the time of that backup, no matter when each item was actually backed-up. If you can copy the most recent one successfully, that will get everything.
The iPhoto Library looks like a file; but it's actually a special kind of folder called a "package." If you can't copy it, right-click it and select Show Package Contents to see inside it, but don't copy individual items except as a last resort -- at best, you'll recover raw photos, with no organization or data, and probably no editing, either.

How Do I Get Rid of Files that Always Lose Permissions?

Seem to be having numerous system problems lately and in working through these, I'm rebuilding permissions frequently
What I see are pretty much the same files over and over whose permissions "differ." Many of these files seem to refer to resources for languages other than the one I typically use (English), such as:
"System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
"System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Italian.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/Spanish.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/French.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
"System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Japanese.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
These aren't the ONLY files whose permissions need to be fixed but the files mentioned above show up over an over again.
The question is - do I need these files to begin with? If they're optional, how do I get rid of them?
Thanks for any help offered.

However, if you'd like to elaborate on the problems that you were experiencing, some of us may be able to offer more advice.
It began with having QuarkXpress (ver 8.5.1) freeze EVERY time I Quit the app. Occasionally, Photoshop (CS5) would also unexpected quit. Went 'round and round with that - the crash reports always seemed to mentioned Suitcase (a font management program) so I got rid of that application. Photoshop is more stable but Quark still chokes every time.
Next I noticed a huge system degradation whenever Time Machine was doing a backup. I use it wirelessly due to the location of the Time Capsule relative to my computers. Specifically, applications would slow down so much that they often froze. I opened an Apple discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3624170 on that and received helpful advice. In that process, I reinstalled system software via the Combo Update.
When I was able to diagose the Time Capsule hardware, found there to be a problem which was repair via Disk Utility.
HOWEVER - even after all of these things, I'm still experiencing applications hanging up / freezing entirely ... often, still, while Time Machine is backing up, but not always ... if I must Force Quit applications, it often leads to the Finder getting hung up as well and if I choose "Restart" everyone on my desktop disappears except the wallpaper then the system just sits there.
Can't tell you how often I've had to shut off the CPU using the button on the front. Hate doing that but I don't have much choice at that point.
So there's my sorry tale. If you can make sense out of any of it, I would be eternally grateful.

How do I get rid of files that only show up on my iPod, but not on my computer when connected? These files appeared after I reconnected my iPod to my computer, and appear to be music files linked to a website.

I purchased an album on itunes and everything was fine. Then when I reconnected my ipod and it did some autosync (which I have it set up to do manual sync) it added every single song a second time, but apparently they are some sort of internet file, that will only play when I have internet connection. These files won't show up through my computer at all and I can't figure out a way to delete them directly from my ipod either. It's incredibly annoying as when I try to listen the album it plays through two songs, then automatically quits playing when it gets to these phantom files...

This is not an itunes question at all.

How do I get my AVI files to play with Lion

I uploaded my AVI files from my video camera and when I try to plan them with Lion my computer tells me that a required codec isn't available. My photos from the same camera do not have any issue uploading and are able to be viewed. Please help.

I uploaded my AVI files from my video camera and when I try to plan them with Lion my computer tells me that a required codec isn't available.
AVI is is a frame interleaving container. While the file container is supported by QT, its specific audio and video compression formats may or may not be supported. In addition, it is a very old file type for which official support was dropped more than a decade ago. Since you did not indicate which specific audio and/or video codecs are used by your camera, I can only discuss generalities and not any specifics here. Firstly, the file may contain older "lagacy" audio and video compression formats which may require the QT 7 Player and its older 32-bit QT routines for proper handling. Secondly, if codecs are missing, your best option may be to install the Parian codec component package for use by the QT 7 Player. This package contains codec support for many commonly used AVI audio/video compression format combinations. However, be advised that many AVI codecs whave never be transcoded for use on a Mac or for use with OS X or the Intel based systems. In addition. installing the Perian package may may create codec conflicts with other third-party codecs like DivX, XviD, etc., so be sure to read the Perian support page if you install this software. In any case, once Perian and QT 7 are properly installed on a Lion platform, AVI files using commonly used AVI codec combinations should become playable in the QT 7 Player app.
As previously mentioned, your other options would be to use a third-party multimedia player like VLC which contains its own built-in codecs for playback or use a conversion application like FFmpegX or HandBrake to convert your AVI files into fully compatible QT files.
