IMovie '11 is not showing Viewer. Plus Error -50 on export

Hello all,
I am having two annyoying issues with iMovie.
Before the summer, so back in June time it was working fine. I havent had need to use it till now. When i open up an event, one i knew was working last time. I dont have anything showing in the viewer window. No black box, no anything. Just light grey as if nothing exists. Any ideas on how to get the viewer back? It is as iff it has disapeared.
The second issue, is no matter what i do to try and share the projects, iDVD, iTunes, Export Movie or using Quicktime i always get the error.-
Unable to prepare project for publishing - The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into

I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
from: jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
from Karsten S
Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
Bengt cont.
Set-Up might differ
• Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
• iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
Action taken
• Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
• Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
fps - set
• I only use PAL (25fps)

Insert into viewobject in app module does not show entity validation errors

Hi everybody,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3 and ADF BC/ADF Faces. I want to have a button on one of page and I want that whenever user clicks on this button a records is inserted in a table. so I created an application module service method and exposed it on the client interface and the put it on my page using Data Controls Tab.
Here is some part of my code in application module :
public void setMember() {
HrMembershipsViewImpl membershipView = (HrMembershipsViewImpl)am.findViewObject("HrMembershipsView1");
HrMembershipsViewRowImpl newRow =(HrMembershipsViewRowImpl) membershipView.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("MemberId",memberID); //this.getCode());
newRow.setAttribute("MembState","1");
newRow.setAttribute("CardState","1");
membershipView.insertRow(newRow);
trans.commit();
When this method tries to insert a record which violates a validation rule in the Base Entity Object, the screen does not show any error regarding to violating the business rule but nothing is inserted. I changed my code and captured the exception around the commit and I found that a JBO-27023 Exception happened after commit ( which was very surprise since the page does not show any error).
Now I can change my code to to the following to show that error happened.
public void setMember() {
try {
trans.commit();
catch (JboException ex) {
getDBTransaction().rollback();
throw new JboException ("There is an error during commit");
throw ex;
But I believe it shouldn't be like this. Normally, we should be able to insert programmatically in a view and if the business rules are violated we should get the violation error messages. If I use the above mentioned method we can not understand what business rules are violated.
Does anybody know what is wrong with my solution? I have seen a lot of times that using application module is the best way for adding functionality to the application pages but I really feel that something should be wrong if we can not get business rule violation messages.
Any help or references would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Hello Navid,
it should work without try-catch.
1. When you add try-catch, does your error message appear on the page?
2. Does your page contains af:messages component?
3. Does your button have any navigation to another page?

You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

Cache Monitoring in Runtime Workbench not showing status/throwing error

Hello Friends,
The Cache Monitoring in Runtime Workbench is not showing the status at all. Below is the error message that is displayed.
Connection to system RUNTIME using application RUNTIME lost. Detailed information: Error accessing "https://us-medpiqas.ww005.siemens.net:50001/run/value_mapping_cache/int?method=InvalidateCache" with user "null". Status of response is HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized - Unauthorized
It was working fine few days before. Now the messages are not getting processed as they are not able to access the message mapping at runtime. I am surprised as to how this happened. Can anyone of you tell me what I can do to proceed with the problem?
FYI: SXI_CACHE in ABAP Stack shows updated status and is green.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Export command do not show missing font error

Our plug-in is using the SDK's PDFExportCmd to export InDesign file to PDF.
Every thing works fine, except we got into a serious issue when one of the Font is missing in the Indesign file.
When an InDesign file having missing font is exported it successfully converted to PDF without reporting any error, by replacing the missing font with default font!
The PDF preset used has following properties but looks like InDesign completely ignore these property.
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Warning
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Error
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Ignore
Please note that when same InDesign file is exported using InDesign's Export... it reports the error message saying Font is missing!
Are we missing something?
Is there some properties that need to be set while exporting to PDF?
Or is it a serious bug in PDFExportCmd?
Alternatively is there a way to validate the InDesign file before exporting?
(I saw the api IExportValidationCmdData, but there is no documentation on it usage.)

There is no difference in the contents of the trial of iWork you get with a new Mac or with iLife '06 & the retail box.
I've learned not to delete any of the fonts that come with Apple apps any more because of things like the error you got. It's odd that a Pages document is using that particular font. I have two copies of that font on my G5, one in the main fonts folder & another in a folder of fonts that came with AppleWorks. The one in the AppleWorks folder has an Apple version 3.3 © & a date of 2000. Both have an Esselte Letraset © with a date of 1990.

Preview window in premiere 10 will not show view video images

My Premiere 10 preview window will not show video images. There has been some on-line discussion that nVidia GeForce video card automatic updates is the problem and it has been suggested that I roll back to a previous card however the rollback button does not light up and can not be activated. Also I'm not sure that I'm using the correct settings for the preview window, what are the default settings?

I recommend that you try your question in premeire forum, so you have a better chance of getting an answer.

Templates not showing & unknown publishing error

I have been unable to publish my site, even to a folder and I think the problem could be related to the fact that the templates are not showing (though when I pick one, it works) and the pdf on "getting started" says something like "not available". Do I have to get rid of the published site that I am replacing also, although I do think that is not the problem since I cannot publish to a folder.

Try the following:
Quit iWeb
Delete the iWeb preference file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist.
Restart you Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.

Imovie 11 is not showing the photos all phots in the preview window. it either shows as black or teh previous photo, but distorted. Can anyone help?

im working on a project, and have done many before, I have just updated to the lastest Imovie update, and all of a sudden, on certain photos when I add them into the project, some of them either show as black, or show the previous photo, but distorted.
I have tried re-starting and, doing a new project with the photos that dont work in, and they work in the new project, I've also re-done the thumbnails in Iphoto as suggested on other websites, but tat dosnt work either - this is really annoying.
Has anyone come across this or know how to fix it?
Thanks

Did you by any chance upgrade your Mac OS from version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.7 (Lion) during the time you were working in iMovie on all these projects?
If not, start by deleting the iMovie Preferences file.
Go to the Desktop
Hold down the Option key and choose the Go Menu > Library
Go to Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Move the .plist file to the trash and restart iMovie
See if the Project files react any differently. Failing that try doing a Repair Disk Permissions:
Restart the Mac, hold down the Option key continuously until 2 hard drive icons appear
Choose the Recovery Volume as your startup disk and let it run until you see the Desktop
Choose Disk Utility from the Recovery Menu
Run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility
Reboot the Mac and when you see the Desktop appear launch iMovie
See if the Project files are the same or different. Next step after this is to one at a time take the Project folders out of users/me/movies/imovie projects. Move one to the desktop and start iMovie. Try skimming the projects that acted up recently. Moving one project at a time might help isolate which project may be causing problems. You can also place project folders back in their original location after doing this testing and iMovie will recognize them on the next relaunch. It won't hurt anything.

IMovie '11 does not show Smart album pictures

iMovie isn't showing the pictures in my smart albums. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem? Created and verified content in iPhoto. The smart album titles show up in iMovie but when I try to drill down into the pictures nothing happens; no photos. Shut everything down in case it had to do with file handles not being closed properly, restarted and still the same non-result.
Any Suggestions?

Unfortunately, from reading the iMovie Discussion Board every day religiously this seems to happen. Somehow something clears up after having a big problem for a while. One thing to try is have iPhoto 'rebuild' its Library file by hold down Command key + Option key then launch iPhoto. This will bring up a dialog box with a number of options/check boxes. I don't know enough about each one to say which ones to check or uncheck. Possibly check all of them and let iPhoto run it's course until it finishes. You will have to wait a while if you have very large iPhoto library, but it might clear up this problem of importing photos from iPhoto especially after a OS X 10.7 Lion update.

OBIEE Metadata utility export not showing view SQL

Kind of a random question, but want to make sure I am not missing something.
Using OBIEE 10.1.3.4, I run the Generate Metadata Dictionary utility. It gives me everything EXCEPT the SQL for views that we defined within the OBIEE admin tool. Instead it just calls them physical tables. Is there a way to see the SQL in the dictionary? I've combed through every file it generates, but it isn't there.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
We used to view the log details (physical SQL) using Manage Marketing Jobs in OBIEE10g.
In OBIEE11g we can see the job details and when selecting a job (under Action column Details link) there is an option in left pane as 'View Log'. If I click on 'View Log' it is showing as 'No Logs Found'.
Just wanted to confirm if this is an issue in OBIEE11g.
Also, I believe there is a limitation in 'Manage Session' to view the number of job details whereas in 'Manage Marketing Jobs' section we can increase the number of jobs to be displayed.
Thanks,
Prasanta

Tabs not showing but no error

hi i am building a basic gui interface for a email client and have only just startted but i am having a bit of a problem below is the code for what i have done so far and i can't get it to work in the sense that i have a menu system showing up well but i can't get the tabs i have implementeed to show up. the code compiles without errors but the tabs i have wrote code for doesn't show up can n e 1 help?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Interface {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create the frame
String title = "Duttmail- Mail client";
JFrame frame = new JFrame(title);
// Create a component to add to the frame
JComponent comp = new JTextArea();
// Add the component to the frame's content pane;
// by default, the content pane has a border layout
frame.getContentPane().add(comp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// Create the menu bar
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
// Create a menu
JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
JMenu edit = new JMenu("Edit");
JMenu tools = new JMenu("Tools");
menuBar.add(file);
menuBar.add(edit);
menuBar.add(tools);
// Create a menu item
JMenuItem exit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
JMenuItem copy = new JMenuItem("Copy");
JMenuItem paste = new JMenuItem("Paste");
JMenuItem delete = new JMenuItem("Delete");
JMenuItem account = new JMenuItem("Account Settings");
// item.addActionListener(actionListener);
file.add(exit);
edit.add(copy);
edit.add(paste);
edit.add(delete);
tools.add(account);
// Install the menu bar in the frame
frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
// Create a child container which is to be associated with a tab
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// Add components to the panel...
// Specify on which edge the tabs should appear
int location = JTabbedPane.TOP; // or BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT
// Create the tabbed pane
JTabbedPane pane = new JTabbedPane();
// Add a tab
String label = "Inbox";
pane.addTab(label, panel);
// Show the frame
frame.setSize(600,600);
frame.setVisible(true);
}

The problem is that only one component can be added to the Frame. The way to get round this is to add all components to a Panel and then add that Panel to frame, like thus.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Interface {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create the frame
String title = "Duttmail- Mail client";
JFrame frame = new JFrame(title);
// Create a component to add to the frame
JTextArea comp = new JTextArea();
// Create the menu bar
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
// Create a menu
JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
JMenu edit = new JMenu("Edit");
JMenu tools = new JMenu("Tools");
menuBar.add(file);
menuBar.add(edit);
menuBar.add(tools);
// Create a menu item
JMenuItem exit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
JMenuItem copy = new JMenuItem("Copy");
JMenuItem paste = new JMenuItem("Paste");
JMenuItem delete = new JMenuItem("Delete");
JMenuItem account = new JMenuItem("Account Settings");
// item.addActionListener(actionListener);
file.add(exit);
edit.add(copy);
edit.add(paste);
edit.add(delete);
tools.add(account);
// Install the menu bar in the frame
frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
// Create a child container which is to be associated with a tab
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// Add components to the panel...
// Specify on which edge the tabs should appear
int location = JTabbedPane.TOP; // or BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT
// Create the tabbed pane
JTabbedPane pane = new JTabbedPane();
// Add a tab
String label = "Inbox";
pane.addTab(label, panel);
// create a Panel to put tabbed area and text area onto it
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
contentPane.add(pane, BorderLayout.NORTH);
contentPane.add(comp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// Add the component to the frame's content pane;
// by default, the content pane has a border layout
frame.getContentPane().add(contentPane);
// Show the frame
frame.setSize(600,600);
frame.setVisible(true);
}Not sure if this would interest you but here is a templete based on the websites Java tutuoral Swing source code program (1.4 version). I find this makes source code easier to understand
import javax.swing.*;
* Templete for Swing applications
public class SWINGTEMPLETE extends JFrame
     public SWINGTEMPLETE()
         // add components to Frame here
       getContentPane().add(statusPane, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
    * Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety,this method should be invoked
          *from the event-dispatching thread.
private static void createAndShowGUI()

    final SWINGTEMPLETE frame = new SWINGTEMPLETE();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    //Display the window.
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);

}

I cannot find my bookmarks and my home page does not show view etc as per the help advice on bookmarks

I deleted some search tolbars that I did not want and the whole of my start page changed. I cannot even move back or forward I have to exot Firefox and re-enter

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
