I don't want to fix, tweak, adjust, or God forbid, REINSTALL anything.

I bought Adobe Premier Elements 7 with a new Dell XPS Studio with MS Vista, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB of disk space, and 1GB of video RAM. It came pre-installed. PE7 barely runs. Most times, I do not get to the "Share" phase because PE7 says there is an unexpected error and shuts down. I even get MS Visual Studio C++ Runtime errors. The dialog says MS is looking for a "solution", but it never responds that one was found. Other times, the Open Project fails, so that I cannot even open a saved project. Very frustrating. Normal (i.e. non-esoteric) program usage like adding scene transitions, or merely clicking on the scene scroll bar also causes the program to crash, but even that is not the worst. The worst comes after three hours of video crunching, the disk write fails causing all that time to be lost.
Even with my powerful PC, I've taken all the normal precautions-- I run nothing else concurrently, only on a fresh startup or re-boot etc., but none of this seems to have any effect.
I cannot imagine how or why a company like Adobe would release a program like this that is so not ready for prime time.
UPDATE: After hours of re-doing yet another project, the program failed while processing the video during pre-burn processing. After walking away from the computer, I returned to find it re-booted and now although Premier Elements itself will start, that project will no longer load, causing a fatal error that causes the program to close. I've once again lost hours.
Frankly, I'm not in the mood for yet another lame "fix." The program (pre-installed by Dell) does not work on a brand new, top-of-the-line Dell. I don't want to fix, tweak, adjust, or God forbid, REINSTALL anything. How can I get my money back?

Venting and a loud rant is good for the body, the mind, and the soul.
We've all been there.
After all the rants, the sad part is that nothing has changed to enhance your video editing experience.
That being said, it might be something as simple as the source of your video assets, Project Presets, or exceeding the limitations of the application.
If you decide to post some additional details, you may be pleasantly surprised at the help available on this Forum to get you to the primised land...

19 working fine, downloaded 20 - it crashes frequently, hogs memory, runs scripts and slows down internet. I don't want a fix, just reinstall 19

FF 19 was working fine. Downloaded 20 and within 5 mins. it crashed. Script running problems again and it slows down my internet connection tremendously. I don't want to fix it, I want to go back to FF 19 but can't find it - it doesn't exist Running XP SP 3. If I can't go back to FF 19, then I'll just remove it and stick with Chrome. I like the old private browser in FF 19 better. I run 20 - 40 tabs open at a time and the way the new Private browser works with the existing window open just uses more memory Thanks!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Proximity sensor in my iPhone4 doesn't work. ServiceCenter don't want to fix it.

Hello my name is Igor Katykov
For my girlfriend I bought a Iphone on 28/07/2011 at the MediaMarkt in the Netherlands. After a while we recognized that the proximity function of the phone was not working. So I went back to the MediaMarkt and they sent it to Solid Vision ServiceCenter for repair. This is the answer I got:
The repair of your unit is not covered by the warranty due Repaired by third parties. We have made this conclusion because the barcode sticker in the phone is not the same as in the software of the phone.
Quote from their answer:
We asked the repairservice to be more specific about their costestimate.
They say the barcode in your phone does not correspond with the imei-number, this is not a right combination, that is why the repair service said they think that a third party has wordked on the phone, this is not within warranty.
Bart Schoonens
Mediamarkt Utrecht
service department
Because of this conclusion they want to charge me 561,67 euro for replacement or 13,95 euro to get my broken Iphone back!
I would like to clearly state that the device was never repaired either by owner or any third parties. It is logically unreasonable, as the device was bought and it has 1 year warranty.
I don’t really understand how that can be. How can I really change it, if I would like to do this? Isn’t is a Apple production fail, and why I have lost warranty due to this?
Who can help me!
Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with the cards. I enter .jpg files from them into I-Photo by connecting my camera to the IMac via USB cable.
What I'm trying to do is to is to get the SD card reader to work. I understand from a conversation with an Apple tech this afternoon that the card reader is, in fact, a two way device, so I could use it to write on the SD card with pix files downloaded from my desktop. I want to do this in order to get my .jpeg files to a local lab for printing instead of using CDs that have much less capacity (700MB vs 8.0GB).

Donot want to fix the schedule lines at an Early date even P.O is the creat

Hi ,
If a material is sourced via a Scheduling Agreement, then MRP automatically creates schedule lines for this to meet MRP requirements.
However, if a separate PO is raised for the same material (irrespective of the supplier) at a date after one or more of the scheduling agreement schedule lines, MRP creates a message to reschedule in the PO in front of the schedule lines even if this is known to not be possible. the result is that the schedule lines for standard supply are not put in early enough.
And We don't want to fix the schedule lines in a t an early date to over come this.Is there any settings for the same.

Hello,
If you want to control MRP messages for rescheduling you can make settings in tcode : OMDW either at plant level or MRP group level.
You can introduce Tolerance value forward & Tolerance value for displacemt in No. of days here.
If system finds requiremnts within the tolerance no of days it will not create MRP Exception messages. This way you can avoid unwanted messages.
Thanks,
Ram

Don't want to use new Numbers, but 'get info' fix doesn't work

Hi All,
I made the mistake of installing the new Numbers a month or two ago. I don't want to use the new Numbers because I need to work on the same documents on older machines that won't work with the new Numbers. On my machines with both versions of Numbers, I want to be able to just double-click on the documents and open with the older version. The usual fix is to use get info on a document, select the app I want to use for this type of document and then hit 'change all' for that type of doc. Well that's the theory at least. I've found that this setting doesn't stick in this case. (I've never seen this not work). It still opens with the new Numbers.
I've tried removing Numbers, but Software Update keeps nagging that there is an update available jfor Numbers, and wants to reinstall it. They 'dumbed down' Software Update so that you can't remove updates you don't want to be bothered by. (I hate it that Apple continually removes features, then adds them back in a year or two!) So I'm stuck.
Any one else have this happen? Any fixes?
Thanks!

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. The Mac OS will always default to the newest installed version & has for as long as I can remember. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what worked for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "Applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.
Since the last update I've used the solution Peter Breis posted (4th post in that thread) in iWork Tips 'n' Tricks with a little "tweak."
Making Numbers '09 the default whilst keeping Pages 5
1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder (I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13)
2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
2) Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
3) Select any Numbers file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
4) Re the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.

I recently purchased a song and my entire song library was deleted after it downloaded. The photos and aps are still there, but no tunes. Anyone know how to fix this? I have songs loaded on the ipod that I don't want to loose and they are not in MY itunes

I recently purchased a song from itunes and when the song downloaded, it deleted/removed my entire song library. Only leaving the one song.
My photos and aps are still there, but no songs. Anyone ever encounter this and how do you fix it? I don't want to loose my songs as some are not in MY itunes library. Help

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now : )
Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!
I Hope All Is Well In Your World : )

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

When I open gmail the account that I want to come up doesn't. Even when I put the account in manually and check "stay signed in" everytime I open gmail the account that I don't want comes up. How can I fix this???

When I go to gmail the name of one of my accounts and the password are already written in. I don't want this particular account to be the "default". I want another of my accounts to be the "default". I can't find out how to fix this situation. Going into settings on these accounts doesn't seem to help. Basically I want to undefault one account. Help. This is very frustrating as to get into the account that I want I have to write the account name and password in manually every time. I'm so frustrated that I will stop using Firefox if I can't fix it and go back to Safari which I really don't want to do.

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust one and then have to copy and paste this length.

Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust a text clip and then have to copy and paste this each time. Ideally, there should be something in User Preferences but there is not. Thanks.

Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project. And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip. Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad." When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as.
I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.

This was my question exactly. Thanks for getting to the answer even though it's not what I wanted to hear. When I tried calling Apple earlier today to get an answer, I was unceremoniously disconnected twice while on hold for several minutes.

I have the photographer plan With Photoshop and Lightroom. Now suddenly The creative cloud app says that Lightroom isn´t installed. It is and how do i fix this. I don´t want to loose any pictures. Tried logging in and out. Also restarted my Imac with no luck.

This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

When I adjust one side of the firefox window, It messes with another side! I Don't want it to do this EVER! How do I stop this?

If I adjust one side of the firefox window to a new size, that is the ONLY thing I want to change! Why does it do this weird stuff I don't want it to do? Older version didn't do this. What's up with that???????

I can't make it happen. I'm trying to think of a convenient way to see what you're seeing without having to record a screencast, but I can't think of one.
Does the same happen in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?
