I am a month or so into my new FCPX, I want to copy my first test project to my toshiba external drive but it seems to be harder than I thought. I would welcome any help

I am a month or so into FCPX and a new imac and I seem to have trouble sending my first project to a toshiba external hard drive.
I am following larry Jordans tutorial but it seems to differ slightly from my own.
I simply want to copy the project over to my external drive so i can take it to work to show it.
Thanks in advance

I notice it says the file is already saved do I want to overwrite but it keeps saying the same thing and I can't find the file on my external drive.
I managed to get it also copied to my desktop.
I might add at this point, I am not so smart on computers and am using the new iMac and FCPX as a way to really learn
The system thoroughly.
Kind regards,
Dave

My Seagate 80GB EHD is shown in Finder Mac External Drive but it will allow action to Verify or Repair. If there any hope to fix with software like Paragon NTFS?

My Seagate EHD seems to have died long ago even though it was spinning, the LED was on and I thought everything was backing up automatically. Working by phone with an Apple CTU Advisor 03/15/2015 to correct iCloud Keychain Security Code prompts, we determined there is reason to suspect the Seagate EHD failed way back whenever. Before I give up on the Seagate I'd like to check and use all resources and advice of others. With guidance from Seagate Tech Support I ran their diagnostics procedure which failed at the Verify step. I presume the EHD cannot work and will probably have to replace it. Can anyone out there in A. C. help?

Are there files on the drive that you're hoping to recover? If so give DataRescue a try http://www.prosofteng.com/datarescue4/
it has a free demo you can try to see if there are recoverable files and if there are you then need to pay for the full version if your files are worth it. If you're not worried about files throw it away 80GB isn't worth fooling with.

HT4904 Help. I have an older 20 inch iMac and had Lion running on it but the internal hard drive died. I'm trying to install Lion on an external drive but it doesn't look like Lion Recovery is supported. I have Leopard installed but am stuck.

Hello,
My 20inch iMac's internal drive died and I'm trying to re-install Lion on an external drive. If I could get the Lion DMG file I think I'd be all set but am not sure how to do this. It doesn't look like the Lion Recovery feature is supported in my older iMac. And I have Leopard installed on the external drive but there's no AppStore to download the Lion DMG file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Lee

Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear???? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this. If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I have a MacBookPro6,2 and would like to connect an older Dell flatscreen, model L17BNS. I would welcome any information about the type of cable I need and any settings I might need to change, etc. Thank you for your time.

According to:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/p/19351107/19767627.a spx#19767627
It has DVI ports. This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI. Note there is no audio that carries over DVI. What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.

It means that the application cannot find the Modified folder, which should be in your iPhoto Library Folder (inside your Pictures Folder).
Have you contacted the developers of iPhoto Diet?

In iTunes, I have a number of tones stored. I don't know how to access them to add to listed people on my iPhone. I would appreciate any help.

Drap and drop the tones from iTunes onto the phone. Select the contact you wish you add the tone to. Click edit and select ringtone.

I am having problems using Numbers package, unable to add specific cells in a column, when I tap "sum" it totals the whole column, rather than the specific cells I want. Would appreciate any help. Thank You Francis

I am having a problem with adding selected numbers in a column. When I select "sum" the whole column is added, not just the selected cells. I would appreciate any help how to rectify? Many thanks. Francis Anthony

I don't know if this is the best way but it's pretty easy.
1.) Select the cell you want the sum in.
2.) Select the sum function
3.) In the line where you see =sum(B2:B8) using your finger tap the B2:B8
4.) Use the backspace key to delete the B2:B8 and it will then show "value"
5.) You can now tap any cell you want in the sum
6.) When finished tap the green check mark button at the end of the sum line.
That pretty much sums it up.
Good luck.

I've had my new iMac for about a week now and am totally sick ofthe vagueries of Mavericks,

I understand that Mountain Lion has never been released on disc, so that would seem to be the major problem.
Thanks in advance

If the Mac came pre-installed with Mavericks you can't downgrade. Have a look at mine and den.thed's comments here:

I would welcome some help with colour gradients in CS5 - please.

I am using CS5 and want to draw a curved line (with say line tool ) which has a coloured gradient running top to bottom uniformly within the stroke (or line) size.
Yes it sound simple but..........
I am happy (well I think I am) with Linear gradients and setting alphas etc
I have played with "extended colour" and reflected and repeated.
I have also looked at using the gradient transform tool But I can not find out how to produce a curved line with that magic vertical
Sorry if it may not be clear what I want to do but if you have a look at the pic below
I welcome any suggestions
Thanks for reading.

I don't. I am positive that is how the image you showed originally was done if it was done in Flash. Your attempt doesn't do what I described (not sure what you did), and having contrasting color areas in the image makes the effect come off somewhat differently as well.

I uploaded 2 powerpoints with no problem, now it looks like it has uploaded to icloud but the icon is a page with a "P" on it. Any help please?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either.

I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either. I am a newbie at this and don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I can even use an external drive for my photos and catalogs (I did enable smart previews so I do know how to do that part). Help!

You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
and start LR.
