I'm using wrong settings on FCP, but don't know why
Hi, I'm a photoshop expert starting a new way into photography with slideshows.
I did some projects with Premiere with no problems, and now in studio we have acquired the Final Cut Studio, but I can't initialize a project in the right way, I guess.
I'm using a recent MBP, unfortunately none of the Mac Pro here are Intel Based (we just ordered a new one) and encountering LOTS of problems with FCP. It's slooow, and note that I've just added 40 photos to the timeline, no transitions, no effects, and it can't even preview the movie, it just freezes.
I'm making slideshow with still images, I rarely need to use some videoclips, few After Effects sequences.
Projects to be published on web or to be projected in HD resolution. Nothing else.
Images I'm using are resized properly with Photoshop.
I have two questions please. The first of all is about a manual or a well written web article to learn something on the huge amounts of HD codecs and formats I have when I start FCP. I guess it's not an easy issue, and it's time for me to study it.
The other one, in the meantime please help me choosing the right format and codec to have a good quality product but "light" enough to work on easily.
Thanks.
Normally you would use an Easy Setup and Sequence setting that matches the codec that your video uses. Of course, that does not apply to Photoshop images because they don't use a video codec.
I always use .tif images in FCP for maximum quality, .png can also give excellent results.
Ideally, you should use a ProRes or DVC Pro HD Sequence setting with the pixel dimensions at 1920x1080.

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
thanks, JeanHello fane,
Re: duplicate images in finder.
Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot for what I do.
I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks for your help,

Gx 740 not working - but don't know why!
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I apologise if I've put this in the wrong forum. If so, please feel free to move it.
I have an MSI GX740 and recently it stopped working and I have no idea why and was hoping someone here could help me try and discover the source of the problem at least so that I know what I'll be looking at in terms of expense to get it fixed. I'll try to give as much as detail as I can.
I had no problems with the laptop itself (no history of crashes or anything) until one morning when I went to turn it on, and it wouldn't boot up. The lights came on and the machine whirred as usual, but no POST screen appeared. So I turned it off and tried again, but to no avail. So, after looking online (in the library) and using all the tricks of unplugging the battery and adapater etc. I decided to leave it for a while. So I tried it the next day, and it managed to boot all the way to the dekstop. When I was on the desktop I managed to play a music file, move some files and delete some other files, but when I went to play a game, the game wouldn't run. So I used CTRL-ALT-DEL to end the task, and tried a different game, and the screen went black (as it always does before this games starts) but it just stayed black so I turned it off, and couldn't boot again. This suggested a video card problem, but the first game I tried to run was Championship Manager 2000/2001 which hardly uses graphics at all! (That's not a typo, I downloaded the old game through freeware).
So, again after reading internet resources, I waited a while and turned on the laptop and got to the POST screen. I pressed DEL to enter setup and reset all the bios settings, but this had no effect. So then I restarted and tried the F3 OS recovery method. Whenever I do this though I either get a message that says "reagentc.exe FALSE" and it keeps going but nothing happens at the end or, more commonly, I get a BSOD with a message about IRQL_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL or something along those lines (I'll make a proper note of it later).
So basically, I now have no idea what's causing this, and I am going to get it fixed, but having no knowledge of the cause I have no idea how much it's going to cost, or if it's something i can even try myself (I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of computers, but I have installed some PC components myself in the past.)
I've read that the reaganetc.exe message means I need to reinstall Windows 7 completely, but I don't have the Windows 7 disc (I travel a lot and think it's been lost in transit, or I just didn't get one in the first place - I genuinely can't remember). I spoke to a guy in a computer shop today who said that msi should be able to sell me a recovery cd which might solve the problem and would cost something like 20 AUD and if it doesn't work, I've only wasted 20 bucks, rather than the 300 bucks it costs to buy Windows 7 itself, when that might not even be the problem.
But I've also been reading that the BSOD message suggests it may be a hardware problem, but I have no idea which one would be failing.
Because the laptop is clearly not working in some aspect, I don't mind opening it up and having a go myself as the warranty is more than likely void anyway, as I have a chip in my casing (bottom left of the screen) so MSI would more than likely say the problem has been caused by misuse. (I didn't drop the laptop, but the bag I have it in doesn't hold it very securely, and I do travel a lot so it was just general wear and tear that caused it. I'll be buying a proper laptop bag when I get this one fixed!!)
My current status is that if I leave it for a while I can get it to the POST screen, but because of my previous efforts to recover the OS (which meant wiping the C drive) I can no longer get into Windows. If anyone has any ideas at all I'd be so grateful to hear them. If you need any more info I'll gladly provide it. However, I am based in Australia so please accept my apologies if my replies take a long time due to the time difference.
The laptop is an MSI GX 740 as I said, so these are the specs:
http://laptops-specs.blogspot.com/2010/06/msi-gx740-specifications.html
Thanks in advanceI also had the same problem. I have the A6200 laptop.The msi recovery on the hard drive failed with "reagentc.exe false" error. Same thing with the recovery dvd i had created earlier. same thing with the recovery dvd that bought from MSI. I tried installing Win7 from a installation dvd which failed as well. Then i ran a memtest86 and found out that one of the memory sticks was bad. you could also run the memory diagnostic on the Windows Recovery DVD (WRE) as well. So i just took out the bad memory and the MSI recovery worked flawlessly. I wish i had realized that this was due to bad ram. i wasted money buying a new recovery dvd from msi and wasted days trying to fix this. So if you are getting the reagentc.exe error check your memory. I am not saying this is the only source of the problem, but it could be and i haven't come across anyone suggesting this anywhere else. Also the reason i decided to do a clean install in the first place was because windows kept crashing randomly, which should have made me realize that this was a memory related issue. I hope this helps.

i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated
Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen. -
I just bought and iMac and have lion installed. I'm trying to use interactive graphs at yahoo finance. Nothing shows on the screen. I assume I have to download something but don't know what or where.
WhyWontThisWork:
I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
Touch Settings.
Touch SD card & phone storage.
Touch Unmount SD card.
Touch Format SD card.
Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion. -
I updated my I Phone 4 to the os 5.1.1 but lost all of my contacts. I believe it should still be stored in my laptop Apple file but don't know how to restore. I only see the restore option to the factory settings. I have never used the I Cloud.
If you did not sync afterwards, follow this article to restore from your latest backup:

I broke my iPhone 5 now using a 4 but don't know if or how to get my photos ect..from the 5 to the 4.can I do this and how plse help
Restore the backup of your iPhone 5 to your iPhone 4. It will contain your camera roll photos.
To do this, first make sure the iPhone 4 is running the same or higher version of iOS as your iPhone 5 was. If it isn't, you'll need to update it first. Then, to restore the iCloud backup, you'll have to begin by erasing the iPhone 4. If you have any newer data on the iPhone 4 that is not contained in the iPhone 5 backup, you'll need to save that first. When you're ready, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the set screens on the iPhone 4 and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompt, choosing the backup of your iPhone 5 to restore to. Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup. -

I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5. I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appericated.
I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck. -

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?
Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!! -
