Did you save it with the same name?
That can cause a problem.

How to downgrade from OSX 10.8.5 to Snow Leopard, on an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, without the original installer disk?

Hello! So here are the specs.
I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, which came with OSX 10.6.6 by default.
I've lost my installer disk so I though I'd buy a retail one from the online Apple Store, and version 10.6.3 is what they sent me.
Simply running the install OSX app won't work, I get a msg saying:
-- You can't use this version of the application "Install Mac OS X" with this version of OS X. You have "Install Mac OS X" 23.1.1. --
So, I've tried booting from the new disk hoping to erase my current drive and install Snow Leopard, but no can do, I get 3 beeps and have to force shutdown (not RAM related, see below). Laptop works fine when I spare it this maneuver.
After some research I understand 2 things:
1. Only the original installer disk will let me restore factory settings (and I don't have it).
2. I can only install the default OSX (10.6.6) or a later version (that 10.6.3 DVD may not have the correct drivers for my system).
Are these conclusions right? If so, would the Apple Store replace my disk for an updated 10.6.6. one? If not, then what are my options?
Thank you!

How can a make avi files without the length changing?

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm posting it first here, as the process also involves FinalCut. If there's a better place to get an answer, maybe someone could streer me in that direction.
I'm doing some subtling which will then be coded onto professional tapes using FCP. I don't have the equipment (digibeta machines) to do that process at my end, so I'm sending the files to a studio and they're going to do the rest for me.
I have software that'll let me lay down subtitles and then export files with time code, but the software previews with avi files. After messages from the studio telling me that the subtitles were falling out of sync, I finally realized that the avi files I had made from the 30 minute DVD screeners were 4 seconds shorter in length than the material on the screener. I made more and more avi files to double check, each one came out 4 seconds shorter than it should have been. So that's my problem.
Does anyone know of a way to convert DVD (or VOB) files to avi without losing any time? Alternatively, does anyone know of a program for subtitling that works straight from DVDs? (I looked into Belle Nuit Subtitler, but it's impossible to tell how it works without paying for it and waiting three or four days for the order to manually process.)
Thanks for any help and sorry my question is so convoluted.

The best solution to my particular problem seemed to be putting the avi file on the timeline in FCP, selecting it, the choosing "Duration" from the "Modify" menu and resizing it to the length it should have been.
I'm actually getting a friend to adjust most of the files in Premiere with his PC as I'm still on a G4 PowerBook and the rendering time for the avi files before I can manipulate them was half a day each. (Premiere has a similar feature.)
Thanks again to Andy for the MPEG Streamclip tip...it looks like it'll be useful in the future, and it's free! Cinematize also looked like it could have helped, but the demo mode only let me test 10 second exports at a time and that wasn't really enough for me to tell if the length changed or not. Didn't buy it this time around.
I also get the point that there must be a lot of people who use the term "urgent" to mean "hurry up and help me, I don't have time to read" with prolific good Samaratians no doubt tired of being bossed around in that way.
Fair enough.
Anyway, the "Duration" option within FCP is one way to fix DVD burns and other format conversions that come out with different time spreads from the original. Rendering can take time on slower Macs though.

Download Helper - How to download & save .wmv files WITHOUT the video being downloaded playing on screen?

Windows 7 Pro
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player and VLC are installed
When I download a video file (typically .wmv) the video begins playing on the monitor screen prior to my being able to use Download Helper to download the video and save to the hard drive. This typically results in the video stopping and playing and stopping throughout the download process because of the download speed available. There is never any issue with the final download on the hard drive.
Today I installed latest version of Firefox and Download Helper on another computer.
Windows 7
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player (only) is installed
Downloaded the same .wmv file downloaded above and the video did NOT begin playing on the monitor screen. Download Helper allowed me to download the file to the hard drive WITHOUT constantly listening to the video start/stop/start/stop etc.
What option (in which program) would allow the playing of the video to be toggled on or off while downloading the .wmv file?
Thank you.

Once the download has started, you can go to another web page. The
download should be a separate function.

How Can I restore my mac without the original software disks?

Hi I have a preowned macbook pro that i got from a friend. I would like to restore the computer back to its original settings because it is asking me for user passwords when i go to install something and the old owner does not remember the password. I do not have the disks the computer came with. Is there any other option to restoring the computer back to its original settings without the disks? I am still trying to figure out the mac "world" so may not be aware of all settings.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, open "System Information" app or "System Profiler", and copy "Model Identifier", and copy it here. I'm not completely sure if you have a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Instead of reinstalling OS X, first try resetting the user password. To do it, open  > About this Mac, and see "Version". If it's 10.7 or 10.8, follow these steps > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 If it's 10.6 or older, you need the DVDs, so call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator user for you

I seem to have caought some kind of virus. Firefox says it cannot find the server for whatever site I have designated. I deleted and reinstalled to fix any corrupt files but the problem persists. Firefox simply does not work.

It will only open the firefox opening window, nothing else. If I put in my home page, Yahoo, it says it can't find the server. Same for any other URL. I fully deleted Firefox, including the FireFox folder in applications, and reinstalled to no avail.

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

You can but it will not fix anything - you have a corrupted library = not an corrupted application

How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
Thank you!

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

How to fix "DRM Error 3321" withouting connecting PC to internet?

How to fix "DRM Error 3321" withouting connecting PC to internet?
Currently, we are encountering "DRM Error 3321" because our PCs/Notebooks do NOT have connection to internet for “http://individualization.adobe.com”. Thoese PCs are in isolated network and can NOT connect to internet.
Is there a way to solve this issue without connecting their PCs/Notebooks to internet?
Thank in advance.

Hi Soe,
Unfortunately there is no way to resolve this error without connecting to the Internet at least once. This initial connection is required to create and download the device specific key as mentioned in this post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/6240315). Once you have established that initial connection, you can play content offline assuming your content licenses are constructed correctly. Some content providers will require at least an initial connection to their license servers as well, although once you have the device specific key you can play files protected with PHLS or PHDS without further license acquisition.
If you are content provider, you can find more details on how to do protect your content for offline playback here:

Protected Streaming (http://www.adobe.com/support/adobeaccess/pdfs/server/AdobeAccess_4_ProtectedStreaming.pdf)
This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but hopefully this helps a little.

Fix for Corrupt File That Prevents Publish

Since last night I've been getting an error when trying to publish my site. The error is pointing to one of the background images in the template stating that the disk may be corrupt or that I don't have access rights or something like that. I couldn't seem to figure out how to fix this - I even overwrote the image file hoping to fix it, but nothing worked. I figured I'd reboot in the morning and see if the system automagically would clear it up.
Well funny thing... I use Super Duper for my backup application and it choked last night on the very same file that iWeb was. However, Super Duper gave me the actual path of the corrupt file.
| 04:30:38 AM | Error | SDCopy: FTS_NS error for item: '/Users/suzanne/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites/rptilev6-2.jpg' err: 22, Invalid argument
This seems to be some kind of secondary cache of images that iWeb uses to upload to .MAC. I opened up that folder, replaced the file with a new version and everything worked again.

Had the same problem, but with music only. Thank you for the information

How to repear a corrupt file with Numbers

How to open a "corrupt" file with Numbers.
With excel it is possible to open such a file with the following error message :
"The file you are trying to open, 'filename.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking YES, the file is opening correctly with XLS.
How to do the same with Numbers?
When i try to open the same file with numbers i have no "error message" but the information contained in the file is not readable.
Many thanks for your help

Yeah that's true to an extant; microsoft did a good job fixing that but unfortunately allowed it to be re-introduced in 2006 with windows vista where they allowed file naming to receive destructive values (wasn't very fond of this);
in previous versions of windows such values once entered would be followed by an error message telling you those values couldn't be used
I wasn't aware it would pop its ugly head back up into windows 7 but I see otherwise as in the case of mine
(I forgot to mention the period preceded a parenthesis which in turn can be destructive to the file's original format)
Anyway photoshop wont open the file after changing it to .psd leaving an error message stating....
'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop'
