How the Heck does this software work? I am so frustrated!

I followed the instructions and imported my videos into the adobe premier elements organizer. .
I see all of the videos in the organizer. I then added the videos to an album. THIS IS WHERE I GET STUCK
Question is what do I do from here. I right clicked on some videos and chose EDIT WITH PREMIER ELEMENTS.
The software then opens up another screen which is all blank and pretty much every thing that I try to click on is greyed out.
Once I import my videos HOW DO I EDIT THEM. PLEASE HELP

Take a look at this FAQ Entry. Steve Grisetti, our tireless MOD and world-class author, has a wonderful Basic Training series (plus many more articles in the Learning Series) on Muvipix.com. He also has some great books on PrE 8, plus some other programs, like Sony's DVD Architect, and a soon-to-be-released Tips & Tricks for PrE 8 book.
As for where to go from there, you will need to create a New Project, and choose the Preset, that matches your AV files 100%. If you do not know the full specs. that you camera shoots, the great, free utility, G-SPOT, will give you everything that you need. What camera was used to shoot the Clips?
I'd use the Timeline View Mode, and then just drag the Clips to the Timeline, where you can Trim them, shuffle them around, add Effects, and Transitions to suit.
Good luck,

How the heck does datasocket work?

I've been playing with the example vis DSReader & DSWriter, and reading docs all weekend. The only way DSreader finds the data from the DSWriter (on another machine on the network) is if I give the reader the IP of the writer machine. dstp//localhost/wave works when both apps are on the same machine but there's no network traffic at all according to ethereal whether the apps are on the same machine or not. I thought, from what I read, was that any machne could find the data through the URL, but no. I want multiple machines to broadcast and receive and all share the data. The docs say this will work but I really can't see how from the examples. I have been using the UDP functions for years with no problems but I can't make this work even per the documentation. What am I missing? Love Labview, not happy with this.
Thanks,

Andy,
communicating locally using TCP or UDP do not create networktraffic. This is because the data is never really sent out in the network. Only the IO buffers are used. So the connection should show up if you use something like a network sniffer. Even the DOS-prompt command netstat shows the datasocket-connection on port 3015 (dstp).
So the only thing you have to make sure if using dstp in a network (so not only local) is that the dstp-port (3015 by default) is not blocked by any firewall or used by another application.
hope this helps,

How the heck did this guy draw with his pencil 3d extruded?

In the following video Mr. Smith first extrudes some text. Then about 40 seconds in he takes his pencil and draws a line and it's automatically extruded. How the heck did he do that? It looks like it's extruded just as soon as he releases his click. Am I just missing that he's doing "shift-control-e" to apply the same 3d effect immediately to his line? Sure seems like he didn't have to do that.. I can see in the Appearance panel that there is "no selection", but that 3d extrude effect is shown there.

Understand also: Effects (including 3D Effect) can be applied at the Group or Layer level; not only at the object level. So you can "draw into" a Group in Isolation Mode or "draw onto" a Layer that has 3D Effect applied. In that way, When you do, the various objects you draw not only have the same 3D Effect, but share the same 3D Effect; so they share the same perspective.

Spell Check in New Forums- How The Heck does it work?

Can somebody please tell me how the spell check works in this new forum format? I click on the abc icon and it does nothing. I do a two finger click on a word that is misspelled and it give me Insert Options. I really like the new format but hate the spell check. Can anyone offer advise? Thanks.

The built-in ASC spell checker is -- to put it kindly -- quirky. First, you must turn it on using the 'abc' tool on the right in the editor toolbar. (When it's on, it highlights.) But it won't stay turned on if you click on the tool before you enter any text -- it will just tell you that no misspellings were found & won't stay on. It also sometimes fails to check the last word if followed by a space. You can tell it to ignore misspellings, but you can't tell it to learn words because the spell-checking dictionary is actually on the servers running the site, not on your Mac or PC.
But from your remarks, you probably aren't even using the built-in checker. Instead, I suspect you are trying to use the far superior system-wide one built into OS X. The problem with that is the ASC editing tools are powered by Javascript supplied by the Jive SBS software running the site. Because that is platform independent it doesn't know anything about OS X's contextual menu (which includes suggestions for misspellings, the Dictionary lookup, & so on).
So to make a long story short, what happens when you try to right click on a word the OS X checker has underlined in red, instead you get the Javascript's response to a right click, which brings up the editor's insert/alignment popup menu instead of the OS X contextual menu.
The solution is to control click on the word -- believe it or not, within the ASC editor window a right click & a control click are not the same thing! You literally have to hold down the control key on the keyboard when you click to bypass the Javascript's right click response.
To make things that much more confusing, this only applies if the pointer is not over empty space in the editor window, which in this case excludes lines that have any text on them, including invisible text like spaces or returns. (To see what I mean, drag the tab at the bottom right of the editor window down so there is a lot of empty space below what you have typed. In this empty area, right & control clicks both bring up the OS X contextual menu, but anywhere in the text you have typed, they behave differently.)
In short, the problem is not that Apple has changed how the buttons or clicks work, it is that the new software that runs the site (not developed by Apple) does.
Hope this helps.

How the heck does one change one's email address in the Control Panel

I know this is the wrong place to post this but I don't know where the right place is!
In about a week I am changing to a different broadband provider and the email address I have associated with these forums will no longer be valid. Obviously very easy to deal with - just go to "Your Control Panel" and change the email address ! I must be missing something because I can see my email address but cannot see any way to change it ! What am I missing?

What a wonderful bit of software this forum software is.My +5k post count did not make it through the migration;
When the migration guidelines said you have to use the same email address in the old and the new account I just changed the email address in the old java forum account to be a current email address, then signed up to the new forums with that... They could have said it must be the email address you used when you originally signed up in the old java forum - but that was back in '98 and I probably did not have access to that when the migration happened...
I don't particularly care about the post count, but as my old posts are not linked to my account it makes it difficult to search through them...

I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
Thanks

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?

On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?
I have bought full access to it.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried a number of different values. Usually when I do a negative offset they're very small values, like -.25 or -.5.
An Update- I took the art work into Ai CS 6 and It still did not work, which is really strange. And I've used it hundreds of times with success in the past. Also I tried it with live type and outlines, ungrouped, un-compounded still could not get it to negative offset.
Thanks for the help.

Where is my CC Photoshop? Is it installed on my computer? I can't find it anywhere. How the heck am I supposed to use this thing?

The title sums it up. I miss the old tangible versions of PS. Am I supposed to log-in somewhere every time I need to use PS? Endless redirect pages on-Adobe site to nowhere. How does this all work? I just want to edit a freaking photo!

Fishbelly66 for information on how to open your installed Adobe Creative applications, including Photoshop, please see Launch CC apps after install - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/launch-creative-cloud-apps.html.
I would also recommend reviewing Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html which discusses the installation and update process.

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

You have to look at the email protocol being used. the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

My husband has retrieved emails from my exchange email account. I deleted them from the trash bin. How is he doing this?

OK, let's come back to the original issue; how are deleted messages retrievable?
First, is the account set up as an Exchange account or a POP account? I'll assume it's Exchange. If it were POP the answer is obvious.
If it's an Exchange account are you deleting the messages from the phone or from some other computer? If you are deleting them from another computer they will not be removed from the Trash folder on the phone until the phone next syncs AND the Trash folder is opened. But this will take time. You can force the Trash folder to sync in near real time by going into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap on the Exchange account, tap on Mail Folders to Push and check "Deleted Items". Note that doing this will result in increased data usage and reduced battery life.
If I haven't described the situation tell me what assumptions I made that are incorrect.

I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation. It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0. How can I get this to work?

Oaky, at least we got that far. Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers. Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number. Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
Here are some that will remain as strings:
+123
123 with a space after it.
