I'm doing a bunch of edits in iMovie and it suddenly quits then I notice my iDisc has turned into a cloud.
Does Apple just go into your computer whenever they feel the urge?
I checked and I haven't installed the latest update

I call Applecare and he says Mobile-Me is having problems and they're down now. (This is why I didn't want it right away).
System Preferences has the Cloud now instead of the blue ball and he says Apple downloaded the Cloud because I wasn't signed out (of .Mac) so I try to sign out but because MM is down I get an error. I check my Tiger eMac and it's fine, still a blue ball and it doesn't say anything about signing out so back to square one. Apple did this stuff with out informing me.
I wonder if Leopard has anything to do with it since the emac is a Tiger ?

    Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    that depends whether you were using the subscription cc version or the perpetual license version.
    if you can open, for example,  pse, click help and if you see activate/deactivate you have the perpetual license version and do not need to renew.  if you see sign in/sign out, you have the subscription version and will need to maintain your subscription to continue to use your cc program(s).

  • Does Measurment Studio Standerd edition contains graph and chart ActiveX controls for VB6

    A Very Simple quistion:
    Does Measurment Studio Standerd edition contains graph and chart ActiveX controls for VB6?

    Shady -
    Measurement Studio 7.0 Standard Edition provides support for Visual C++ 2003, Visual Basic .NET 2003, and Visual C# 2003. It just so happens that the Visual C++ support includes ActiveX controls, which are usable in VB6. The CWGraph ActiveX control provides both graphing and charting functionality.
    However, full Visual Basic 6 support, including examples and documentation is not in the Standard edition. It is in the Professional and Enterprise Editions.

  • I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

    I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

    At what point is the video quality bad?  Is it bad on capture?  I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead.  They capture the video at a higher bit rate.  If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder.  They capture and compress in one shot.  If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

  • Just bought a new Canon Vixia HF R300.  It looks like I have basically two recording modes--either AVCHD or MP4.  I have a year old Mac Mini on Lion with increased ram.  I edit on iMovie and upload to You Tube.  Which recording mode would be best?

    Hi...
    I just bought a Canon Vixia HF R300 camcorder.  It looks like it gives me a choice of two recording modes AVCHD or MP4.  I will be uploading onto a year old Mac Mini with the Lion Operating system and increased ram.   I will be editing in iMovie '11 then uploading to You Tube.  Which recording mode should I use?  Obviously I'd like to get the best quality but I also want it to show well on You Tube.   What do you think?  Thanks for the help.  Bill

    Hi
    What program can you use to convert AVCHD to a DVD format?
    Share to File (in iMovie) - AND AS 480p - NOT Higher as DownScaling will be done badly.
    Use this file in iDVD or Roxio Toast™ or what DVD Authoring program You've got.
    To make a VIDEO-DVD You must use a DVD Authoring program - to get the right compression format AND Structure - It is a MUST.
    There are free alternatives - but resulting DVD hasve been far from what quality iDVD (and Toast™) will deliver.
    To get best possibly DVD - also this counts.
    - DVD brand used - I only Verbatim
    - DVD type used - I only DVD-R Single layer (4.7Gb)
    (DVD+R works for many and DVD-R/W usually don't work OK and Double Layer also are a problem to it self)
    - BURN SPEED - I set this as low possibly (usually x2)
    - Free Space on Start-Up Hard Disk - MATTERS - I never go less than 25Gb
    Good Luck

  • Whilst editing, final cut pro 7 suddenly quits, can anybody help?

    Hi, Whilst I am editing pro resNT footage on my copy of Final cut pro 7, the program suddenly quits, and i have to constantly re open and carry on!!! Can any one advise me as to how to cure this problem ?

    Thanks for the advise Todd, my original footage was shot on AVCHD, which as you know is MTS codec, this was converted into MP4, and stored on a 1 TB hard drive, but it was connected to my Mac  with a USB connection. The MP4 footage  made FCP perform irratically, so I was advised to convert to Pro res NT, which i have done, FCP now runs perfectly, but now I don't use the hard drive. Could I use the hard drive, regardless of it not having a Firewire connection.

  • I edited a photo and saved it.  Then couldn't find it in the organizer!

    I had a couple photos in the organizer that I edited.  After editing I saved them (I'm pretty sure).  Then I couldn't find them in the organizer.  They seem to have disappeared.  Where did they go?  I certainly never deleted them!

    It was Elements 12.  The photos were opened from the Organizer.  99+% of them return there OK.  A couple didn't out of thousands.  I don't remember what I did to them specifically in returning them--assume I did the same with all.  With thousands of photos, I can't remember the file names in order to search for the ones missing.

  • Why does Itunes Windows download Numbers, Pages, iMovie and iPhotos in Library and I can't even open it. It is taking up space, safe to delete?

    Thanks for helping me out in advance. I recently installed Itunes and figuring things out.
    So I click the thing that said downloads available and the download screen started dowloading the apps below. It takes a huge amount of space in my tiny hard drive (256 GB), I clicked, double clicked, hyper-clicked and nothing really happened.
    Is it safe to delete in iTunes, or windows explorer window?If I delete it would it delete it from my iPhone? Pardon for my newbness..

    Hello traderjohn,
    You can absolutely delete those apps within iTunes. If you ever need to download them back in you can do that as well. It should not affect anything on your iPhone and when you sync your iPhone. Take a look at the articles below for more information. 
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

  • Can I import AVCHD to iMovie and edit

    Hi - new to this, but have just been bought Panasonic HDC-SD800 HD camcorder.  Before I play with it, the instructions suggest that the only format I can use with imovie11 is 'i frame' which is 960x540/25p.  As I already have a similar 'standard' canon camcorder with similar definition, is there any point in keeping the new Panasonic. Am I missing something here, or is this 'new' Panasonic just not Mac friendly?

    If you have the camera, your best bet is to shoot a minute of footage with it and see if it will import to iMovie. I think it will. Check your owners manual for recording mode. You should have several choices, including 50P, 50i, 25P and iFrame. If you choose 50i, 25P, or iFrame, it will work with iMovie. If you choose 50P, it will not be editable in iMovie without some bit twiddling.  I think you will like 25P the best, but if you are shooting sports, you should also try 50i. In fact, try it anyway so you get to see both and choose the one you prefer.
    iFrame produces movies that will look almost as good as the AVCHD (you probably will not be able to tell the difference) but the import is much quicker, and the fill sizes are much smaller.
    Let me seeif I can decipher the manual for you.
    "This unit is based on AVCHD format/MPEG-4 AVC file format.
    Video signals for the AVCHD that can be played back with this unit are 1920x1080/50i, 1920x1080/25p and 1440x1080/50i. Video signals for the iFrame that can be played back with this unit are 960x540/25p
    Like I said, stick to 50i or 25P if you want to edit in iMovie and/or play back on a TV set. Use 1920x1080 for highest quality (but this will also be the biggest file size. 50i and 25P are about the same in file size. (50P would be 4 times bigger in file size - but do not use 50P mode if you want to edit it.)
    When motion picture is recorded in iFrame format
    You can play back on Mac (iMovie11)
    It is not compatable with motion pictures recorded in AVCHD format."
    This means basically that you can edit and play on the Mac. From there you can share to a Blu Ray, DVD, Apple TV, iPod, iPad, iPhone, the Web, etc. etc.   The key message is that you cannot edit the iFrame on a Windows computer.
    It is also possible to record in 1920x1080/50p at maximum quality.
    Quote-
    "The scenes recorded in 1080/50p can be saved or played back by this unit or the HD writer AE 3.0"
    It is possible to record in 50P at maximum quality, but what they are telling you is that you will be limited to playing it back on the camera. Television sets will not play 50P. iMovie will not natively edit 50P. I assume the HD writer AE 3.0 is a proprietary Panasonic disc burning program. It is likely Windows only, so it will not work on your Mac.
    If you want to edit 50P on your Mac, here is an excellent blog post on how to do it. You can judge for yourself whether you feel comfortable doing it.
    From the above, can I move HD from this unit into iMovie and edit without too much hassle or do I return it and stick with the perfectly decent 5 year old Sony not in HD that just 'works'.  I have happily played with iMovie for 3 years and want to be able to tidy up family videos.
    If I were you, I would keep it and shoot at 25P. I think you will really like the HD quality.
    Keep in mind that if your final result is DVD, then evertying will be converted back to standard definition anyway. You will need to find new ways to share your results with your family.
    The Apple TV is a great way to do this. Also YouTube does a great job these days making it easy to share 1080P video with friends and family. Finally, you can invest in a BluRay device. I don't generally recommend this, because if you want to give copies to family or friends, they would need a BluRay player as well.
    There are a lot of nuances to BluRay. Come back and ask if you want to go that route.
    Good luck.

  • I am new to ipad and iphoto.  I edited a photo and then selected undo, to return it to the original.  Now there is a spinning disk on the screen and the program is frozen. What can I do now?  I can still access the same photo through the camera roll.

    I am new to ipad and iphoto.  I edited a photo and saved it.  Then used "undo" to change it back.  The thumbnail shows the edited version and the larger window shows the original version.  There is a whirling disk over the orginal version as if the program is stuck saving the reversion back to original.  None of the other features will work.  Turning it off doesn't help.  leaving it on indefinetely so it will "complete saving" doesn't work.  I don't have some of the keys and choices outlined with other posts about stuck iphoto on Macs.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Quit the app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
    Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
    In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
    Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
    Good luck.

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people :(

    I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people

    There is no way to export Faces information.
    I'm not sure why you would do this:
    If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again,
    If space is an issue then move the whole Library to an external drive:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
