Make a bootable backup of your current system before upgrading or make a new partition on your hard drive and install the new OS on the new volume. Now two more things for someone who believes they are competent:
1. Don't believe everything you read on these forums. Only users with problems post here. Millions of other users don't post here because they manage not to have problems.
2. Don't use all CAPS. That is considered shouting. Shouting is bad netiquette. Please use mixed case.

  • Problem importing video from a DV camera into the new imovie 10.0?  I have a Sony DCR TRV17 connected via Firewire port that worked in 9.0.9 but not under 10.0...

    I have a Sony DCR TRV17 that I used to pass through VCR tape video via Firewire port to my Mac Pro under Imovie 9.0.9 without an issue.   Now under Imovie 10.0 the video shows in the import window, I can start recording yet when I stop recording the recorded clips do not show up anywhere.  The movie file I'm creating still indicates that I still need to import video.   Anyone having similar problems?

    Hey Dave,
    I had this issue only once before but was lucky enought to find it was a specific event causing the import to freeze. It took me some time to isolate the problem though. I would recommend letting it sit there for some time before you try any troubleshooting. Larger libraries can take long periods of time to update.
    This is a good thread for this issue.  I would first try removing the iMovie.plist as elikness mentions.
    1. Open Finder
    2. Click on "Go" in the menu bar.
    3. Click on Go To Folder on the dropdown menu.
    4. Type "~/Library/Preferences/" in the text field and click Go.
    5. Find the com.apple.iMovie(some number).plist file and move it to Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iMovie to see if this took care of the issue before attempting the next step. If you're still having an issue then you can try what I needed to do which is isolating the problem event.
    1. Open Finder.
    2. Go to the Movies folder. You should see iMovie Events here.
    If you have a larger event library I'd recommend renaming the iMovie Events folder to say, "iMovie Events COPY". Then create a new empty folder named “iMovie Events”. When you launch iMovie 9.0.9 all events will be missing at this point. Quit iMovie if it is open. Then you can either drag each event from iMovie Events COPY to iMovie Events or you can select and drag several at a time. Each time you drag an event folder back into the new iMovie Events folder launch iMovie 9.0.9 to see if you are having the same issue. Wash and repeat until either you have found the problem event or you have imported all events.
    If you find the problem event you can reimport the clip from iMovie 9.0.9 by going to File > Import > Movies and navigating to that events iMovie Original Movies folder to find the clip.
    Hope this helps!

  • I downloaded the new 4.0..I don't like how everything is set up now. How do I get it back how it was set up on the page? Plus my cache doesn't work now.

    I would like to know how to get it back how it was set up for bookmarks, history etc. I don't like how it is set up now.

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth it??

    I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth the upgrade and hassle or will this push me back to Google for e-mail, calendars and contacts? I love my Mobile.Me... Why change whats working for an OS thats not working ?

    The more you read these forums the more you'd mistakenly think that Lion is generally a problem.
    For every person who comes here with a problem there's many thousands who are running Lion hassle-free, including me.
    I've used MobileMe since the beginning and have happily moved to iCloud, There's a couple of things you may miss from MobileMe in the short term but those things like iWeb hosting are going away anyway in June.
    I suggest you join the millions of Happy Lion Users. Just back up your data in case you absolutely need to do a clean install back to Snow Leopard.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

    hello my name is kirstie, i updated to firmware 4.2.1 .....my iphone 3g stays on the apple logo for about 4 minutes then flashes white and goes back to the apple screen, it repeats untill battery is flat,  every now and then im lucky enough to get it to turn on but not very often and then it freezes and repeats the same problem?? (if i turn the phone off my pressing the two buttons it wont keep rebooting, its only when i leave it after turning it on)
    I have reset the phone, full firmware restore, even downgraded back from firmware 4.2.1 to .3.1.3 official by using dfu mode and still doesnt fix.
    (i correctly got out of dfu mode after the downgrade)
    i can enter dfu mode and recovery, and update through itunes with no problem, but it doesnt fix the problem,
    i have searched and found no answer to this problem, every option availible to try that i know of i have tried and failed. i dont care about preserving my content i just want a fix. i have a good understanding how to operate software on a computer and shouldnt be too confused by any advice given, so plz even if the answer is very complex i wish to try anything, please help me to get my iphone working.

    Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

    Hi
    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
    I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
    Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
    Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
    (I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
    So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
    While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
    My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT:
    If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
    I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!
    OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
    Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
    Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

  • Question about the new i5/i7 processors

    I have been wondering if anybody had a definitive answer as to whether the new i5 and i7 processors are the desktop chips or their mobile counterparts? I know previous gen imacs use mobile parts but I've heard conflicting reports about the new 27 inch imacs. Some people say they are using desktop parts now while others claim they are still mobile processors...does anybody here know? I can't seem to find the information because I'm not really a techie so I don't really understand intels system for identifying their processors. The reason I ask is I recently placed an order for the i5 imac, I was comparing some i5/i7 benchmarking tests and ultimately decided the i5 was more than up to the job...however, now I don't even know if I was comparing the right chips (I didn't know there were different versions of the i5 and i7). Also, I had some concern with the heat issue, from what I've read the i7 produces tremendous heat so I also factored that in to my decision. I know Apple makes quality stuff (I love my MBP) and they placed the GPU and CPU on opposite ends of the imac, AND it has 3 fans AND the back is basically a HUGE heatsink lol...but I still wonder if the heat will cause the i7 to have a shorter expected life than the i5?(which is also pretty hot I guess). I thought I had my mind made up but this is turning out to be a very confusing process for me. If heat will effect the life cycle with only a relatively small power boost I'll stick with the i5...but if the versions of the chips they are using are mobile or not going to have this problem than I don't know what to do lol. Also, could you replace the i5 with an i7 later on down the road? AHHHH....can somebody help I'm spending so much money here I don't want to make a mistake :/

    thanks for the help everyone. After reviewing all the information I think I'm gonna go with the i7...it will be $180 for me because of a student discount so in the end I guess thats not too much to pay for the increased speed and hyper-threading (which I probably will see no benefit from now but down the road...who knows). I had to cancel my order for the i5 anyway because after going into the Apple store last night to fondle the 27 inch imacs (which I hadn't seen in person yet) I realized I did not like the new keyboard ( don't get me wrong its a nice product but I use the Adobe CS4 software for digital art and animation so so lacking a numerical keypad for keystroke shortcuts is a little impractical for me).
    Since I had to cancel and reorder anyway I'm now thinking I may as well upgrade to the i7 and be done with the doubting my decision lol. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I will probably order today. Apparently the i5 and i7 have the same wattage so I guess if one will overheat the other will too so that kills that debate in my my mind.
    BTW if anybody has not yet seen the 27 inch imacs in person yet they are behemoths...beautiful behemoths. I can't wait to have that much canvas space to paint in Photoshop.
    Thanks again everyone.

  • What do you think about the new and improved SiriusDecisions Waterfall?

    SiriusDecisions launched their new and improved Demand Waterfall this week at their Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I have attached the PDF for your viewing pleasure. What do you think? What's strong? What's weak? Do you agree with Tony Jaros that teleprospecting is a required step in the Marketing Qualification process?

    It makes a lot of sense from our perspective.  Our sales organization has always generated the bulk of our leads, so it makes sense to account for them and to build programs to support them.  It was a great conference - my first SiriusDecisions Summit.  I came away both energized and overwhelmed.
    Our Inside Sales team qualifies almost all inquiries via telephone, so it makes sense to me that "teleprospecting" is a required step.  The only exceptions are sales-generated leads, so the waterfall reflects that perfectly.
    What I like most about the new waterfall is that it creates a clear structure for us to focus more on developing lead nurturing and pipeline acceleration programs specifically for teleprospecting- and sales-generated leads.  I'll admit that we've neglected this (simply including those contacts in our marketing-generated lead nurtures).  Furthermore, it reinforces the need to tailor nurtures to the buyer's stage in the buying process.  We tend to move all of our contacts through the same campaign and nurture activities as if they're progressing together, which obviously isn't the case.
    I'd be interested in learning how other Eloqua users are getting data back from their CRM on a contact who has turned into a qualified lead.  How do you find this information out?  Do you then put them through an individual nurture that is focused on accelerating the deal?

  • Two questions about the new iWeb

    Hi
    I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
    1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
    2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
    thanks

    Ah well... thanks for the quick answer
