How do I know what codec I need to install?

I have been trying to create a slide show and use my music in Itunes. PSE is not allowing me to include most of the songs in my itunes.  What gives?
Thanks

Try deleting album art first. Then add the track to the slideshow.

  • How do I know what battery I need for my MacBook Pro?

    Hello, Is there a way to find out what model the battery is that I need for my MacBook Pro without tearing it apart? I have the serial number and also the Hardware UUID, whatever that is. If I have to tear it apart I will, but I'm hoping to keep that to a minimum as I'm afraid to tempt fate!

    skink - thanks for the kind words.
    Depending on your model (check under the Apple menu, "About This Mac", "More Info...", "System Report..." and tell me your Model Identifier. Mine, for instance, says (under Hardware Overview):
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name:    MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier:    MacBookPro8,2
    Depending on your model, a 'good' number of cycles might be as low as 300 or as high as 1,000. But if the condition is "normal," as you say (and as mine reads) you really shouldn't have anything to worry about.
    If it's a battery that needs to be replaced by an Apple tech, it's 'built-in,' meaning you can't just turn it over and change the battery (such was the case with my 2006 1,1 model and some models after that).
    It's always good to keep an eye on battery health and to use some methods of keeping your CPU load at a minimum when using battery power. Viewing movies, whether in the DVD player or those that are on your computer, will really tax your CPU and result in lower battery life. To maximize your battery life, try to have as few apps open as possible when under battery power - particularly those that drain your CPU. You can keep and eye on this by keeping Activity Monitor, in your Utilities folder, open at all times. If you see a process that's taking 10+% of your CPU load, that's an app you should close or at least keep an eye on - my Firefox browser will sometime get in the 13% range, but I don't worry about that.
    Battery use is, for me, primarily about Internet browsing and email. I keep open Firefox, Outlook, Activity Monitor, Word, Acrobat, Word, TextEdit, and a few other small apps and I generally get 7+ hours on battery time.
    I would also suggest using two little utilities to keep an eye on battery usage - one is "Battery Health" available at the App Store free. The other is gfxCardStatus which will let you use discrete graphics, changing your GPU to the less intensive processor. It's available at http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus and is "Mountain Lion ready" as of it's latest release.
    Good luck - see how many more hours you can eke out of that battery before thinking about having it replaced. As much as I use mine, I know that I'm going to go over the 1,000 cycle mark before my AppleCare expires, so I know that I'm going to have to get it replaced. But for now, I'm getting the advertised hours and am quite happy.
    Regards,

  • How do I determine what codecs I need

    I was attempting to edit/combine several flv files into one file in order for it to perform on my windows media player 11 for windows7 operating system.  My Adobe premiere 10 said I needed the correct codec.  Needless to say, Adobe Premiere Elements 10 offered no assistance or information.
    Might anyone provide me with enough information to continue editing my project?
    Thank you for your time in reading this and for your future assistance.
    Respectfully,

    This is a old matter which seems to find the same answer which is not looking for and installing codecs.
    The answer is the Premiere Elements does not support the import of .flv files (never has) although you can export a .flv and f4v file from Premiere Elements (using in your case of Premiere Elements 10, Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video).
    This is an old topic. One of the more recent discussions of it can be found in this 2012 thread here
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4155326
    A Moyea plug-in used to work as a plug-in for Premiere Elements so that it would be forced to accept .flv files, But I have not found that possible in later versions. I will double check that anyway.
    But the answer is....Convert the .flv to another format and then import the new format into Premiere Elements 10 project.
    ATR
    Add on...I think this is the Moyea Plug-in mentioned. I suspected that it worked with Premiere Elements up to version 8.0/8.0.1.

    I remember working with it successfully in the days of Premiere Elements 4.

  • HT1222 I dont know what password they need for installing the latest version of itunes because it isnt the same as my apple id

    The password being requested is, as for any Mac OS X software update or application installation, the password to your user account in Mac OS X, or the user name and password to an account in Mac OS X that has administrator privileges if your account does not.

  • How do I know what Adobe Acrobat License # is installed on my computer?

    I need to deactivate some of our licesnes to install on new machines, some are in use, some are on machines thatr we no longer have. I need to figure out which ones are in use and can't find this on the computer or the ADBOBE self-help site.
    THANKS!

    Moved to Enterprise Deployment (Acrobat and Reader)
    Do you have a volume license? Are you using a license server. It you are more than a couple of users, the volume license is not only cheaper but is easier to maintain in situations like this.

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I know what OS I have on mu iMac? I've used it as a PC for years and need to switch over but I may be out of date with current software.  I think I read Lion somewehere....?

    How do I know what OS I have on my iMac? I've used it as a PC for years and need to switch over but I may be out of date with current software.  I think I read Lion somewehere....?  OS 10.5.8

    Click on the Apple icon at the top left of your menu bar, then About this Mac.
    OS 10.5.8 is Leopard. Lion is 10.7
    As for upgrading:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I'd like to replace my hard drive.  How do I know what to buy for my 15-inch early 2008 MacBook Pro?

    I am out of room on my hard drive.  I'd like to get a new hard drive and restore my data to the new drive from Time Machine.  How do I know what kind of hard drive to buy for my 15-inch, early 2008 MacBook Pro?  Also, how hard is this to do? 

    I have changed HDDs several times on the old MBP.  Currently it has a Hitachi 500 GB HDD that came out of my new one.  My adage is that one cannot have too much storage and I think that the 1TB HDD is an excellent choice.  Not only do you get generous capacity, the performance should be (theoretically) comparable to a 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD.  I will be very surprised if there are compatibility problems.
    If you bought the HDD from OWC, you should have received Installation instructions.  If not, go to the OWC website and look at the video.  I actually downloaded it so that I could hand write the instructions down step by step.  Also check out iFixit website.  They have step by step instructions that may prove to be useful.
    Tools you need:  00 Phillips and #6 Torx Drivers (get good ones).   The instructions make mention of a plastic pry bar (spudger).  I use a stiff piece of plastic like a credit card.
    Tips to keep in mind:  Get a large open table space and place a large clean towel on it.  That will protect your MBP and when you drop a screw (and you will) it will not bounce far so you will not have to spend an hour looking for it.
    As you take out a set of screws, keep them together (I use wide masking tape.  The little screws will stick to it.)
    Keep the sets in sequence.  That will make reassembly much, much easier.
    The most difficult steps are removing the keyboard from the MBP body and removing the ribbon cable from the mother board.  In case of the former, work from the back (the display) to the front.  You will initially have to pry it up and then do a lot of jiggling to remove it.  Don't be too timid about it.  At the end of the ribbon cable there is a rectangular connector.  Use your credit card to remove it.  Just pry it off.
    The #6 Torx driver is used to take off the 4 mounting pins on the HDD and if I remember correctly there is another place where it is needed, specifically in the battery compartment ( I think).  If the instructions don't say so, keep that in mind and inspect the screw before you select the driver.
    Good luck and make sure that you don't have parts left over.
    Ciao.

  • How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

    Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies.  I don't want to delete important files.  How do I go about doing this? 

    How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
    Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
    For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
    If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

  • How do you know what generation your iPod touch is?

    I have just bought an iPod Touch - my first iPod of any type.  How do you know what generation it is? There is nothing on the packaging and the only clue in the 'About' screen appeared to be the version 4.3.3.  I am trying to purchase a universal dock adapter and need to know the generation in order to get the right one.

    you can inform Apple of your displeasure by leaving a comment via iPod Touch Feedback.

    The following is for this Apple document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later

  • How can i know what SubVI is on SubPanel?

    How can i know what SubVI is on SubPanel?
    In the main of my application i have three subpanels that open many different SubVI, i need to know what reference of subvi is actually open
    what could be the best way to do it?
    thanks,
    Andres

    I'm not aware of a way of directly getting the VI reference from the subpanel control after a VI has been inserted into it. Seems like an oversight to me if it's not there. This means you will either have to create a mechanism for saving the reference that's currently open at the time that you invoke the "Insert VI" method, or you can use a roundabout means like getting the run state of a VI or reading an indicator's value, as mentioned in this thread.
