I think you have downloaded .img file. If you want to install that program follow the given instruction.
download open source magic disc viewer software.

After installation, right click on notification icon of magic disc, click Virtual CD/DVD ROM -> No Media -> Mount,
Select disc image file of project professional 2013.img.

Can't open a few files

I can't open some documents I made in Pages. The documents can only be found if I click Pages then click "recents" yet even then the documents are gray instead of black and unclickable. If I click at the tab "file" at the top bar of the desktop with Pages open, and click "open recents" I see the files there however if I click on them I get this message "The document “Plant Reproduction” couldn’t be opened because the volume “NO NAME” couldn’t be mounted. Mount the volume and try opening the document again." What does this mean?

You probably had an external volume the files were located on that is currently either not mounted or not attached to your Mac computer. If the disk titled "NO NAME" is not attached, then attach it to the computer and you will likely get access to your "missing" files. If the disk is attached but not mounted, then you can try to use the Disk Utility to mount it. If you're not familiar with using Disk Utility take a look at

I can't open the inspector window in iMovie 11.

Hi everyone. I'm working on a project in iMovie 11 and suddenly I can't open the inspector window. I really can use some help. Maybe by mistake I hit a button. Thanks

Normally you open the inspector by clicking on the little gear icon in a clip. If that is not working, I would suggest...
1) Shut down iMovie.
2) Trash the iMovie Preferences. See this post for instructions.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
3) If that still does not work, delete the iMovie App and reinstall from the App store.
4) If that still does not work, reinstall OSX.

Can't open Excel File manually after MS Project has opened it via VBA

I was testing a section of code I got from a forum that opens a Excel Workbook via MS Project VBA so that I could use it to update a Excel Workbook that I have. The macro opens the Workbook as intended but the main problem I'm encountering is that
after I've run the macro, saved and closed the Workbook again, I'm unable to open it manually either from Recents or directly from folder location. I'm using Project 2010 (non Server) and Excel 2010 - Windows 7.
I'm also having trouble getting it to select "Sheet2" of the Workbook when it opens so I've Commented it out, but it would be a bonus if someone could shed some light on that one as well.
Edit: I worked out how to select the Sheet...I've updated the code Below.
Sub OpenTest()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWkb As Excel.Workbook
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open_ ("C:\Users\myName\Desktop\Export Test1.xlsx")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Set xlWkb = Nothing
End Sub
Thanks!
Matt

Matt,
Actually your macro code works fine and I can re-open the file without problem.
I don't recall asking in your other post but do you have SP2 installed for Project 2010? And, do you have SP2 installed for Office 2010, which will cover Excel? They are separate updates. It would also be a good idea to install the June 2013 cumulative update
for Project 2010 as it was released after SP2 and it does fix some VBA issues as I recall.
As I indicated, your code works fine on my PC which is also Project 2010, Office 2010 and Windows 7. Try this. After you run the macro and then save and close the workbook, does Excel also get closed automatically? If it does, (and it should), after you
close the workbook, take a look at the applications manager to see which Windows applications are currently running. Does Excel still show up?

How can I open a .mov file with iMovie?

Hi,
I keep trying to open a .mov file in iMovie and it isn't doing it. Is that not a recognized file extension? Should I convert the video file somehow?
Thanks!

.mov is just a container for a variety of video codecs, some of which are not recognized by iMovie. You will need to convert it first with a third party app such as Media Converter (which is free, see: http://media-converter.sourceforge.net).
Another free app VideoSpec (see: http://videospec.free.fr) is useful for identifying all the details of a video clip

Can I copy iPhotos from an existing iMovie Project to a new one?

Hi---I have iPhotos in an existing iMovie project (currently iMovie 11 version). For some reason, I cant seem to find them in my iPhoto library. But I want to use those photos in a new iMovie 11 project. I can highlight the photos and it allows me to click "Copy", but when I go to my new project to hit paste, they just don't show up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I really want to use these photos in my new project, but can't seem to figure out how to use them again. Thanks, Todd

Hi Todd,
It appears that your photos have been converted to video - hence the DV file extension. There are 3 things I can think of that may help.
Firstly, play the movie project full screen. Use the slider to locate the first image you want. While paused in that position, use the key combination Command>Shift>4 - a cross hair cursor will appear. Click and drag this diagonally across the image - as you release the mouse button (or track pad) the image will be saved to your Desktop.
The second option (and probably better) is to use MPEG Streamclip to extract stills from the video. It's available as a free download from the developer here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag the the first video clip containing the still you want onto MPEG Streamclip's interface. Navigate to the exact frame, then from the menu select File>Export Frame - you can choose between JPEG, TIFF and PNG.
Another option is to duplicate the iMovie project then delete everything but the images you want from the duplicate. Rename the duplicate and use that as your starting point for your new project. To duplicate, while in Project Library view (not Edit view), click on the project then select File>Duplicate Project from the menu.

Problem setting up iDVD opening page after dragging in iMovie project

Had a problem at one to one training yesterday to finish my project. I had completed my slide show with photos and video in imovie. I had premade the "opening" on iDVD with a title and subtitle.
When we dragged the imovie file into the idvd opening page it brought in the title of the idvd name of that file. I typed in the name of the imovie show into that space. THen we typed in the title of project into "Revolution" space. At this point , the subtitle that i had previously put in would not work properly. AFter I gave up on the training and spent 4 more hours at home on this:
I could only set up the opening idvd page properly AFTER
publishing the movie..then dragging it into the idvd page...THen retyping in my subtitle info into
that space (which will start the video on TV) and typing the title into the "Revolution" Space. This was very time consuming as each time I made a change in the imovie project..then republishing it...EACH TIME I had to remake the idvd beginning page as I just said. SOOO....it is not possible to set up beginning idvd page first ????ANy suggestions here ????
THank you for any help.

That;s the wrong way to move stuff to iDVD. Apple really blew it on iDVD and iMovie 08.

How can i open a few windows or tabs side by side?

Hi firefox crew!
Okay, I know how to work the tab groups. But I'd like to be able to open a window(or tab) side by side with one or more others, as often I want to compare a couple sites/web pages. I really would rather be able to easily do this! So I'm wondering:
is there any way to, say, choose some setting or option/customize to have firefox automatically open a second window (or tab) as a half-window, whilst shrinking the first fullpage down to the other half of the screen (or window)?
And, even better would be if I could select a few tabs of my choosing at once (eg. by ctrl-clicking each one i want from among the tabs i have open along the tabs bar, say, A, C, E, and F out of all my 7 tabs A-G), and right-click to bring up a context menu, and from there select an option: "open tabs in a grid", and have that work to display (all four of) these tabs side by side.
(And, theoretically, each successive tab/window opened in this manner would effectively add to the grid, thereby shrinking each one proportionately.)
Any ideas on how to make this work? Much appreciated!

OOH, to let you all know (both experts and other newbies who might benefit!)--
i think i found my answer! :)
To tile open windows horizontally(side by side), if i right-click on an empty Taskbar area i can choose Tile Windows Horizontally (in Windows XP).
To tile windows vertically, i can right-click on an empty Taskbar area and click Tile Windows Vertically (in Windows XP) or Show Windows Stacked.

I can't open Final Cut because of huge project

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a timelapse project in 10.0.9 on my MacPro5,1 with OSX 10.9 (13A603). I have the OS, final cut and the project and event files running on a 240 solid state SATA drive within the tower. AND lastly I have 16gb of RAM
So basically my problem is that this timelapse project is about 33gb large and when opening Final Cut it lags for anywhere between 2 and 5 hours to open. Once it is open I have to wait for the project to load which takes no time at all (1 minute or so). But when I start playback, pause and then try to play again I get the spinning beach ball of death.
I know my project is immense, but this can't be the biggest project of all time. Especially with the new RED cameras and RAW 4k footage. So what am I doing wrong? I don't want to throw out and start all over, but at the same time I know that that is a possibility that I'm going to have to cope with.
Also I've done the Repair Permissions, Repair disk and cleaned many extra unnecesary files within the computer already. So that's not an issue.
Can anyone help me? I'm supposed to have the project done by this Saturday, November 30th, 2013.
I appreciate any and all help.

For a start try trashing the preferences with this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash and the job is done.
Perfectly safe as the preferences are separate from the app and when you re-open FCP X it will create new ones.
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do.

If you update to QuickTime 7.1.2, that will solve the MP3 issue. It did for me.
but what is this?
I think you mean the "answered star" when members gain points that way. You'll see members "ranking" on the right-hand side of the main page of each different discussion group.
I don't do this for stars, but thanks for supporting "the system."

Can I open an Adobe Premiere Pro V6 project in Adobe Premiere Pro 5?

Hi,
I just received a project started in V6. Can I work on it in my older version V5 or do I have to upgrade my system to V6?
Thanks,
Spary

Since PrPro project is an XML file, you can open it up in any script editor (e.g. Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit) or even text editor, in fourth line find Version="25"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PremiereData Version="3">
<Project ObjectRef="1"/>
<Project ObjectID="1" ClassID="62ad66dd-0dcd-42da-a660-6d8fbde94876" Version="25">
and replace it with Version="23".
Although it works just fine most of the time, bear in mind: everything is at your own peril.
