but IF you're relaxed, opened your mind, follow the bright light, ommmm.. for Events & Stuff:
your intended workflow will add another step of quality-degradition (8mm>>avi>>mp4>>iM08) ..
consider the free tool Mpeg Streamclip www.squared5.com for 'chopping' that 90min beast into pieces..
rename these new chunks, follow advice given on my site:

I can no longer use the address bar to change websites. I can block text with the mouse and input a new URL but when I hit the enter key or left click on the right arrow it has no effect and the page does not change.

Also Ctrl+Enter no longer adds www+.com to words entered in the address bar. I can use bookmarks to change to other web sites or my password manager. Re-booting my laptop makes no difference. Please help.

Hey CaptRobyn,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. It might be related to an extension. Then you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
Hopefully this helps!

I can't right-click the Outlook 2010 icon on Win7 desktop taskbar and make a new task, appt, contact, email, nothing...Help

I need help figuring out what happened to the Outlook 2010 icon on my Windows 7 desktop taskbar ribbon.
I keep it at the bottom of my desktop screen. I used to be able to right-click the Outlook icon and I could see options for: New Email Message; New Appointment; New Meeting; New Contact; New Task. I see the options, but it does not create a new anything
when I click on one of those options. It does nothing. I have even right-clicked on one of the options and there is a window that opens saying, "Open." I click it and still nothing. Did I click or unclick an option somewhere under properties
that took that time-saving tool from my choices?

Hi,
Please right click on the Outlook icon in the taskbar, click Unpin this program from taskbar.
Then go to Control Panel, repair Office in Programs and Features.
Start Outlook again, right click on the Outlook icon in the taskbar, choose
Pin this program to taskbar.
If this issue persists, please try the same feature for other programs to determine if it's an Outlook specific issue or Windows Client issue.
Regards.

I upgraded from 1 to 4 but I need a 2 or 3 to work with certain programs and plugins

I have Version 4 but I absolutely need 2 or 3 to work with SEO Quake and No Follow Plugin
I lost my bookmark tags too
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.....I have a new Mac

Those are Extensions as Plugins refer to say Java, Flash and such.
The SEO Quake is said to be compatible with Firefox 4.0 according to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/seoquake-seo-extension/
Not sure what No Follow extension you are referring to as NoDoFollow is said to be compatible with Firefox 3.6.* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nodofollow/ but the author has not updated it since 2008.
If you must downgrade then try Firefox 3.6.16 which is found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Full HD camcorders that works with iMovie 11

Is there a list of Full HD camcorders that works with iMovie 11 directly - plug & play (import, edit,...), without need to use any workarounds ...
No compromise as to the quality of video.
I am about to buy a new camcorder and am bit confused reading practical/real life user experience presented on the Internet ...
Thanks, Ivan

Here is the list.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
iMovie will not import 60P video without a lot of tinkering, nor will TV sets play 60P video. So that is a feature that helps sell cameras but is not currently a must have. If you shoot a lot of slow motion, 60P can be very useful.
Make sure the camera you buy will shoot 30P, 25P, 24P or 60i.

I had this video file and I was trying to flip it to a format that would work with iMovie. It used to have the Quicktime image with it. So, I assume it was a QT file. But, somehow I've changed the file from a video to a folder.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
Hope I'm making sense...

TS3391 iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project.

iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project. I googled the problem and there were discussions about deleting files in various folders and renaming clip extensions. I don't like the solutions I saw there and I am not sure they will work.

Nobody replied so I called Apple. They seemed to think they could fix the problem but I had to agree to pay about $20 first. I told them to put it down as a complaint. I only want to use the software I bought. I can't see that it is my fault it is malfunctioning. I guess I will have to pay. It doesn't seem right.

I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7

I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7. Surely there is software that will allow older scanners to work on OS10.7. My MacBook Pro runs 10.6 and the

Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot). It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture. I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below: Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c. I have a new all in one printer-fax-scanner but the old one can scann in slides and negatives which I have.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
