IMovie Drop Zones for Themes in 6 HD--Not appearing

All of the iMovie 6 HD themes open fine, but the drop zones do not appear. Any suggestions? Debbie

I have 'somewhat' found my own answer .... I did a re-install via original iLife 06 CD all iMovie Themes ... did a few runs to see how it all works and it does - they are no longer missing ... but, did have a crash of iMovie after doing several various trials using my Themes ...
Have reported this to Apple via 'Report Bugs to Apple' ... hopefully they will read it.

HT1535 The option for "On this IPad" does not appear?

Despite having a manual set up of content checked, the option for "On this IPad" does not appear? Why is this?

Hi pmbrady,
The "On this [device]" tab will only show up if you are in the non-sidebar view of iTunes. In short, if you have the sidebar on the left hand side, you will want to use the disclosure triangle (left of your device name) to view what is on the device.

With Firefox as my default browser for a desktop iMac, a note appears "An attempt to change your home page and default search has been blocked" It won't go away

With Firefox as my default browser for a desktop iMac, a note appears "An attempt to change your home page and default search has been blocked" It won't go away. It tells me to click on the checkmark to change settings but that doesn't work and the red x in the upper right hand corner doesn't remove the note which is in the upper left corner of my iMac ??? The only thing that removes the note is quitting Firefox but it reappear as soon as I start Firefox back up ???

If that does not work,
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Adding Drop Zones to Themes

Playing around with iMovie 6 and so far, so good. However, in working with the themes I haven't found a way to add drop zones to the Drop Zone pane. Does anyone know how to do it or if it's possible?

A trick I have used to compensate for the limited number of themes instead of using transitions is to create the same theme and reverse the direction. The last picture on theme #1 is also the first picture on theme #2. Then I change the other pictures on theme # 2 to whatever I want.
The theme zooms on a picture, pause there for a second and then zooms back out and continues.
Yes I know on theme #2 the pages get turned in reverse, but I guarentee, most people are so amazed, they don't even notice.
I am sure there will be third party themes in the future.

How do I get pics into Drop Zones for Templates?

I am having a problem that is probably simple, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I opened a templated in Motion and noticed that some of the templates have drop zones, a la iDVD.
Okay, so I found some pics in the browser but when I went to drag them into the drop zone, the image did not go into into the drop zone, and instead a new layer was created. I've tried this countless times and can't seem to gt the pictures to go in the drop zones.
Am I doing anything wrong?

The problem is one of interpretation. What you are seeing are grey "replace media" items which need to be replaced with what you want. They aren't 'drop zones' ala IDVD or DVDSP (basically it's an image with a mask or overlay over it giving it that 'drop zone' look)
There are many ways of changing/replacing the "media" items (this is Apple after all ;):
1) If you press F5, you open up the "Layers/Media/Audio" window. Click "Media" and you'll see all the elements used to make up the template, including "replace 1.jpg" etc.
2)Click on one of the "replace" files. Then click the "Inspector" tab in the Browser window. Then you'll see a window that says "Linked Objects." and below that "replace media file." Click "Replace media File" and then choose the file you want to insert/replace (you'll have to de-select "Show Matching Names Only" to be able to replace it with your own file)
OR:
1) press F6 and open the Timeline window.
2) Scroll down and you will see a layer called "Replace"
3) Open up that layer (click the triangle) and you will see Replace 1, Replace 2, etc (depends on your template)
4) Drag the image you want to insert/replace into the template to the sublayer called "replace 1" etc.
There are other ways, but these two are the most 'stable' I have found.

What is a drop zone for?

Hi folks. I'm a little confused in iDVD6 about what a drop zone is for. Is this to link to a submenu or movie or is it just a graphic as part of the menu? Super confused here. Trying to make my first DVD and it's not cooperating. Thanks.

Trying to find termplates with drop zones for FCP 6 Help please.

I'm on FCS 2 (FCP6) and I'm looking for some templates that I can use to create a short video montage. I wold like to have images moving slowly around the screen with 'firework' effects going off around them. I've seen this done with a template but that was done on FCP 7. This would take the rest of my life to do manually so the question is are the kinds of templates WITH DROP ZONES available for use in FCP6? I've searched around but can only find templates for fonts, transitions and so on. Any help much appreciated.

I've just realised that the template I was looking for in FC is actually available in Motion and I'd failed to install it, so I'm sorted. If there is a source of free templates I'd be thrilled to find them.

MOTION 4 - I can't locate correct drop zones for template

I'm working in MOTION 4 and a template I purchased online.
I'm not deeply experienced with MOTION (one of the reasons I prefer
templates), but I have used built-in MOTION templates and those from 3rd parites
and other sources on many prior occassions. I'm familiar with dragging
the elements you want to customice into the drop zones.
The problem I'm having is with a Calendar template. I've been
playing for hours now trying to get
the video or image into the drop zone. For instance this template is
made of of a bottom part
that shows a January calendar, and the top of the calendar is the drop
zone where you drop in
the picture you want to customize to represent January. And there is a
counterpart for all 12 months and it flips through all 12 months.
No matter how hard I try, I can't drag my images into the right area of
MOTION Canvas or layers area to get it into the right
drop zone corresponding to the month I'm shooting for.
This seems straight forward, but the template is confusing. I've tried
trial and error for hours now, but they're not
ending up where I need.
Is there someway to see ONLY the drop zones in MOTION? I keep replacing things
I don't intend.
Any quick assistance would be appreciated. I've contacted the 3rd party I purchased the template
from but haven't heard back yet and on deadline. Help!

Yes, I tried xrandr:

At first this didn't work at all, so I tried to mess with screen resolution applet and got output on the second monitor, but not at the desired resolution.
I tried running these commands again and got output on the second monitor, but at the wrong resolution. The strange part is that the resolution I want is listed by xrandr:

Drop zones for both portait and landscape photos?

I'm looking to create a template similar to the Appletv screen saver. I can figure out how to stack the photos in 3D and do motion paths. My question is specifically how to create drop zones into which I can drop either portrait or landscape photos without having to worry about them getting squeezed or cut off. Or is there some other software I need to use?

Thanks so much to both of you. Mark, you are exactly right. I would like to be able to somehow dump a bunch of photos, regardless of orientation, into existing drop zones and have them look correct. I tried placing a portrait photo into the existing drop zones in the appletv motion project and it cropped it. On the actual Appletv itself, it does not crop or squeeze portrait photos.
Do you know of any workarounds to help me do what I would like to do, other than learning how to program core animation?

Standard New button for creation of bp is not appeared in ic agent bp role's main page.

I have checked in.htm page of ICCMP_BP_MUL_S/BuPaSearchB2B which is getting called in web.
in line no. 45 of .htm page there is condition to check whether new button should be displayed or not, when this condition is true no_bp_create is initial then only new button appears in ic agent.
I have debugged so many times but unable to find out from where no_bp_create flag is populated and in conclusion new button is not appeared .
I think there is some authorization which should be assigned to user for creation of bp so that above said flag (no_bp_create) is not getting populated.
if i am on right track so please let me know which authorization is to be assigned to user so that user can see new button in ic_agent.

Hi Sunny,
The parameter no_bp_create is being set in the do_init_context method of the view controller class of same view but the value is being fetched using a badi.
The authorization to create BP can be enabled by implementing the BADI BADI_CRM_BP_UIU_AUTHORITY (or enhancement spot CRM_UIU_BP_ENHANCEMENT).
Users can be authorized to create/edit data for different UI components using this badi.
In this badi put the condition for the application name may be as (based on your scenario or explore more) cl_crm_ic_bp_constants=>gc_bp_create OR OR cl_crm_ic_bp_constants=>gc_bp_edit and set the value of parameter cv_not_allowed = abap_false. Then you should be able to see the New button.

I used private browsing for over a year, I used to keep a sign in seal for yahoo, now the sign in seal does not appear, how can I
get the sign in seal to appear again?

I didn't change any settings nor stored it anywhere, it stopped working today,
it happened in the morning, I checked at 10: 05pm, now it is working again,
perhaps something happened or somehow someone corrected the issue,
I appreciate your prompt response, thank you, best wishes to you all, Miguele

Field Headinds for some Z fields does not appear in SE16n

For some custom defined fields, headings does not appear if we use transaction SE16n. But that appears if SE16.
Please reply if you got similar issue.
Thanks
Manish

Hello Manish,
This is because all the the custom fields those are not created with reference to a data element won't display the filed names in Se16n.
So if you want you can make your custom field of the append structue to refer a data element.
Thanks,
Greetson

The time on my firefox browser is not correct. How do I set the time zone for Firefox? It is not the same as my mac computer setting?

I am using a hotmail acount with bigpond. The time that it says I sent an email is out by 11 hours... can you please tell me how to set my firefox browser to be at the right time? My mac is set at the right time zone...

I was able to do what you suggested, and the time listed in the code field was correct. However, when I sent a test email to myself on the bigpond site, it said it was received at 8:04am when it was actually 18:04. So there is an error of more than half a day. I have a snapshot of the screen if that is helpful. I asked Bigpond about this and they said it was a Firefox problem... Please advise.

Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

Nikon encrypts RAW file data
ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
<IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.
