I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Is there any way to prevent Pr from seizing the foreground?

I'm on Mac OS, when I launch Pr, and go back to my email, Pr persists in taking control of my computer and making itself the foreground application, interrupting my work. It does this even before the Project is completely open; so this can happen two or three times before it's really ready.
This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING, and I can see little benefit to this behavior. OK, maybe it would be nice to know when Pr is ready for projects that take a really long time to load. But, it seems to me that seizing the foreground should be an option in the Preferences. Many many many more times than not, I don't want Pr interrupting me.
I have already submitted my Feature Request, but if anybody knows a hack to the app that will stop this, I'd be most grateful to know it.
Oh, and "You Know Who," I know before you even say it what you're going to suggest: "Don't run any apps along with Pr." Thats doesn't cut it. Because Pr also seizes the FG when I'm working in Ae or Ps, and the CS is designed to have multiple apps opened at once. Modern OSs are designed for multi-tasking. We need to have FTP client, email, browser, etc. open all the time to conduct business. And having two computers isn't in the cards for all users. But, preventing annoying and mostly useless functions are.

I anticipated there would be some unhelpful responses to this, especially from Windows users crowing about not having this problem.
Those of you advocating patience are the same people who get annoyed by other irritations in software, I have no doubt.
As you know, ten or twenty seconds (or whatever your typical launch time is) wasted 300 times a year adds up. Software is supposed to help us; not get in our way.
I'd appreciate it if you forum people with insane post counts could refrain from commenting on every post, especially with unhelpful information.
This is not a Mac thing; it's an Adobe on Mac thing. None of my non-Adobe apps do this. Just Pr and Ae. Ps, Ai and AME load in the BG and stay there.
If you know of a hack (besides switching to Windows), please advise.

I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

Is there any way to prevent Aperture from Auto Cropping an image?

Is there any way to prevent Aperture from auto cropping an image? I use the "Do Not Crop" aspect ratio often and Aperture constantly picks cropping aspects for me, which is driving me crazy. Can I set "Do Not Crop" as the ratio I want on a more permanent basis anyhow? Thanks for the help.
Chris

This is a current bug. Please report it via "Aperture→Send Aperture Feedback".
Just to clarify, the problem is not auto-cropping, the problem is the the crop tool aspect ratio is arbitrarily set (in my case, always to something close to the current crop aspect ratio). You can reset it (on a per-crop basis) to "Do not constrain".
It is very bothersome.
You might try trashing your prefs. Details on the Trouble-shooting page. I have had the bug return more than once.

Is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten when importing data via xdp-file?

In an pdf-form designed with LCD everytime the form gets merged with an xdp-datafile content of all fields get overwritten, regardless which data-binding (normal, global, none) is assigned to the fields and regardless if the fields are exluded in the xdp-datafile. Is this normal behavior and is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten?

The xdp-file is first exported from Acrobat Professional 8 (export data as *.xdp) to get the complete structure. Then in the xdp-file some fields are removed manually and other fields are filled with data. When the modified xdp-file is opened again with Acrobat Professional 8 it grabs the original pdf-form and merges the manually filled fields into the form. With the merge all other fields in the form are overwritten, even if they are not defined in the xdp-file. And that is what I want to avoid. I want to merge the xdp-file into the form and keep the data in fields not defined in the xdp-file.

After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait. if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses. as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether (unless you use them again). Have patience, it will go away.
Or do the update....

Is there a way to prevent AnyConnect from caching the username of the last person who connected to the VPN?

Is there a way to prevent AnyConnect from caching the username of the last person who connected to the VPN?

This can be done via specifying the "RestrictPreferenceCaching" parameter as described in the Anyconnect Admin Guide here:
By design, AnyConnect does not cache sensitive information to disk. Enabling this parameter extends this policy to any type of user information stored in the AnyConnect preferences.
•Credentials—The user name and second user name are not cached.
•Thumbprints—The client and server certificate thumbprints are not cached.
•CredentialsAndThumbprints—Certificate thumbprints and user names are not cached.
•All—No automatic preferences are cached.
•false—All preferences are written to disk (default—behavior consistent with AnyConnect 2.3 and earlier).

No, if it doesn't have a sim slot. However, the model number you posted is for a Verizon iPhone 4S. That model does have a sim slot, & if Verizon unlocks the sim slot, it can be used on GSM networks outside of the US.

Is there any way to prevent iTunes from making duplicates of all my tunes?

I've a repeating problem that iTunes duplicates my music files every time I open it. After it had made duplicates (and triplicates) of every tune, I blew away the library, went through my music folder and got rid of all the dupe files, and reimported it into iTunes. I haven't used iTunes since, but when I opened it today to start rebuilding my playlists, it is again making dupes of my files. When I open it, it says it is "Updating iTunes library...', and after it finishes there are more copies of files already there.
Any way to prevent this?

Yes the 2 main ways are with an ipod and external drive. Apple covers doing it with an ipod but you can follow the same steps, just skip afew http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

Is there a way to prevent airplay from restarting the playback?

Sometimes when I'm out I'll watch a video on my iPad, then when get back home, I decide to continue the video using airplay on my TV. Every time I do this, the playback restarts from 00:00, and not where I left off. Is there a way to prevent this and have the airplay continue from where I left off? The video I am usually watching is an iTunes U lecture.

Is there a way to prevent users from changing the Advanced, Connection, Settings Tab?

I need to stop network users from changing the proxy settings to avoid the firewall. Is there any way to disable or prevent them from getting to the advanced, connections tab, and changing the settings for the proxy?

You can lock the corresponding prefs, then users won't be able to change the settings.

Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone from taking the quiz, without going through the conte

Hi.
Is there a way in Captivate 5 to prevent someone from clicking on the quiz to take it, without having gone through the content?
CB.

Hi.
Regarding preventing someone from taking the quiz without going through the content...
I decided to separate the quiz out of the project as a separate item.
We are going to use a Learning Management System which will house the module to control the access.
The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the Quiz link, until they have gone through the content. (So they cannot by-pass the content and just do the quiz).
I was trying to find a way to control this from within Captivate 5 and keep people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz inside the original project).
However, this LMS solution will work for this module.
Thanks everyone!

Restoring a SQL Server 2005 DB to a SQL Server 2014 install, is there any way to prevent it from being upgraded

Does anyone know if there is a flag I can use to prevent a SQL Server 2005 database from being upgraded to SQL 2014 when it is restored to a 2014 instance?
Don't ask why, I just need to know if this is possible or if 2005/8 DB's are required to be upgraded if they are going to run on SQL 2012/2014 instances. The documentation seems to say this is so, I just want to verify that.

First: You cannot directly restore a 2005 database to
2014. MS supports migration over 3 SQL Server version steps; means you can restore 2005 to 2008/2008R2/2012, but not to 2014. You have to do a migration step between.
Olaf I was looking for this today, because I'm working with a new customer that have SQL 2005 and I have SQL 2014. And needed to restore a backup form the production server in my test server.
When I read what you write I think, oh no!! I have to install SQL 2012 in my server. But that it's not an option for me, and I say let me try to restore the DB first in 2014 and if not work install 2012.
You can restore a 2005 database to 2014 directly, and it works.
For reference the version number in the servers 2005 (9.0.4035 SP3) and 2014 (12.0.2000 RTM)
This is not related in any way to the original question that you answered (the file format will be upgraded to the new motor, that is sure).
I put this lines because in the future there will be some people searching about if possible to restore a 2005 DB to 2014, and like me will read your lines and think it's not possible and that can make a decision to buy 2012 and not 2014 to that new server they
will migrate.

HT1660 Whenever my computer does a hard shutdown I lose all of my playlists and have to reimport them, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I had to hard reboot my computer again, which is a rare occurance and the previous time and this time I noticed that all of my music from CDs was missing and all of my playlists were gone. I can go back and reimport them, but that takes a long time because I have over 100 playlists because that is how I like my music organized. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening and is there a way to speed up the process by transferring them directly from my ipod touch? Thank you.

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
