I'm using imovie 8.0.6. The timestamp is always off by length of video. Any ideas how to fix?

My job requires a correct timestamp. However the timestamp in imovie does not match that off my Sony DCR-SX45. For example: If I start filming at 10:00 and film for 5 minutes it should show up in imovie as a video clip that runs from 10:00 - 10:05. However, after it's imported imovie shows a start time of 10:05. This means it ends up indicating that the video runs from 10:05 - 10:10. Some of my videos can be almost an hour in length and this is a major issue. The timing is always off by whatever the length of video happens to be. Aside from manually fixing this for each and every video clip are there any ways to fix this? I have tried other cameras such as Canon and this creates a different issue regarding timestamp and seems to be related to time zones. Oddly enough the minutes are correct, but the hours are way off. Even though I am in the Atlantic time zone I have to set up the system as though I was in Portugal. My main concern, at this time, is trying to fix the issue with my Sony. Is there a setting that I can fix that will make the imported videos have a timestamp that actually starts at the moment that the camera began recording? Any help whould be greatly appreciated.

iMovie can not read from Dropbox.
Copy the file via web-browser action to your local hard-drive, use it in iM from there.

If you're talking about the physical button, bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does this happen when you try to update?

IPhone 5 battery is very very bad. Used it for 2HR & 30MIN and down to 50%... Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

I got my iPhone 5 64GB last Saturday and the battery is a pile of wank!!! Does anyone have any idea what I could do to sort it? I know about brightness and wifi, I do all that! Many thanks.

Your battery experience is unusual. While I don't use my phone a lot it is on 24/7. The mists I've seen my battery run down is to abut 45% after 10 hours offi the charger.
Here's how to reset (reboot) your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If that is what you did I suggest making an appointment at and Apple store for a consultation.

My iPhone 3G phone button no longer works. If I push it I get a black screen for a few seconds then back to the home screen. Everything else is ok. Any ideas how to fix this?

The phone button on my iPhone 3G no longer works. Everything else on the iPhone works fine. I can receive incoming calls. I can make calls directly from Contacts. But if I press the phone button I get a blank white screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I've tried the hard reset and also restoring orignall settings via iTunes but keep getting the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you, Neil.

Thanks for the advice but I've tried resetting network settings and also the reset by pressing home and sleep buttons until getting the Apple logo. Still have the same problem. To be clear (because I mistakenly typed black instead of blank in the title to this thread): If I press the phone button I get a BLANK WHITE screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I doubt it's the SIM card as I can receive calls and make them directly from contacts. What I can't do is view my favourite numbers or missed calls or access my voicemail, i.e. all the things you get to via pressing the phone button.

Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

Hi all,
Finished editing a short movie.
Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
thanks
Louis B

Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
First steps
- Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
- Delete project and events render files
- If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
Next Steps
I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
best wishes,
Louis B

I have upgraded to Firefox 5 and now the Customize toolbar option seems to be disabled. Any ideas how to fix this as I've now lost all my toolbar buttons?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.01 and now 5 the Cusomise Toolbar function does not appear when selected. No error message appears and there is no resonse whatsoever. I am running on an XP sp3 desktop. Firefox 5 seems to run fine on my Windows 7 laptop but the desktop just doesn't want to work.

Many users have restored the functionality of Google toolbar by installing the '''''Add-on Compatibility Reporter''''' extension. Google needs to test the toolbar in Firefox 5 and change one line of their code to make it compatible with Firefox 5.

In sounds my email notification is stuck on minuet and although I change the sound it will not budge. does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

This is very infuriating as the sound will not be changed. Does this mean I have to do a system reset.

After doing software update to 5.1.1 on iPad1 the photo feature doesn't have edit button. Any idea how to fix?

Can't edit photos after upgrading ipad1 to 5.1.1

The edit button for photos is alive and well in iOS 5.1.1. There is no logical reason, why you would not have the edit button. When you open an individual picture in Photos on your iPad, the Edit button should be at the top on the right hand side. If you don't touch the picture for a few seconds all command buttons disappear until you touch the screen again.

Hi Every body, after i updated the photoshop to cc 2014 version it become slower any idea how to fix it

the new photoshop cc2014 dosnt work properly in my machine

CC 2014 performance has not change much from prior versions. It sounds like an installation problem. Something in your system configuration is not quite right. A device driver like a wacom tablet driver. A display driver. Bad system fonts. Corrupt Photoshop cc2014 preferences. You need to track down the cause.

All websites automatically going to Mobile versions when using safari and firefox (likely started after mavericks update) Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Not exactly all websites but many seem to be defaulting to their Mobile versions when using my Macbook Air... this is not dependent on browser type (Safare, chrome and firefox have been tried)... this is a new problem and may have started after the Mavericks update (although I am not 100% sure about the timing).
Has anyone had this problem? Any idea how to fix this?
