IMovie newbie with problems and questions

I first posted this in iMovie 9 which was incorrect. I am at iMovie version 6.0.3.
I am new to iMovie and am struggling with my first project. My current problem is with transitions and playback. I have added a transition between my first and second clips and it shows in the clip viewer. However, when I click on the first clip and click play the clip plays to it's end but the transition does not start. If I then click on the transition and click play it goes through the transition but the next clip doesn't start to play. In fact, none of the clips play unless I click on the specific clip and click play. I would expect the entire movie to play from start to finish. Am I missing something? The iMovie Getting Started instructions are not very helpful
Thank you
John

Sorry guys (Klaus and Karsten). I didn't look thoroughly enough (most unlike me)! When the iMovie Help window appears (following the link Klaus provided), it is blank. But then I clicked on the Home button - the middle icon shaped like a house at the top left of the window. Immediately, the Help Index appeared from which I could access all the items.
How embarrassing - I should have known better, having used Help many times in the past (in all versions of iMovie).
Apologies also for my comment about Apple removing Support articles! I think baby sitting yesterday threw me off a bit
For the benefit of other users (including John Hendrie, the OP), this is the link we are talking about (as kindly provided by Klaus): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1096.html

Some problems and questions using OWB

For Igor or anyone who can help me :-)
Hello Igor,
Thanks for all your help concerning my mapping deployment problem! Now its working better ;-)
I used the OWB Runtime Assistant to create a new runtime target schema and i use the owner of this schema as user while logging to OWB.
Now i can create and deploy without problems mappings, tables, functions, procedures, packages, dimensions, views, materialized views, process flows (i have installed the Oracle Workflow Client 2.6.2.0.0 with OWF builder and OWF mailer ).
However I have still some problems and questions :-)
a) After deploying a mapping or process flow i can execute them from OWB Deployment Manager. How can i schedule the execution of a deployed precess without using OWBDM ? (I want to execute a process every day to perform ETL).
b) I think i have a problem deploying cubes. I create a cube in OWB, the validation is OK, the deploment succeds, but if i look with OEMC in the tree in the Warehouse OLAP section no cube is created. Only the fact tabe is created. If i look to the scripts from the Pre Deployment generation results i found DDLs only for TABLE, INDEX, UNIQUE KEY, FOREIGN KEY and ANALYZE object types, meanwhile during a dimension deployment i found also a DDL for the DIMENSION type object. WHY ?
c) If I look in the procedures of the new created OWB Runtime Target Schema I found 3 procedures which are in error and when I try to compile them I receive the following error messages :
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_CUBE
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWCUBELOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION_GENUK
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
How can solve this problem? Is there any link with the fact that the cube is not generated?
d) When I first acces the deployed DIM in the OEMC tree I receive a message saying that the dimension does not have complete metadata as needed for use by Oracle OLAP services (because is created either in an earlier version of Oracle database or it was created by an an other application than OEMC) and OEMC automatically generates the default needed metadata. Is this normal ?
I work in an environment with
- Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Products 9.2.0.2.8

Some problems and questions

I have some problems and questions about my MSI MEGA PC 180 system...
One problem is that MSI live monitor only works one time after every new installation then is just say "The URL is invalid" every other time I try to search for updates.
One problem is that one of the fans doesn't turn off when I turn of the computer and the only way to get i to turn off is to turn on the hifi mode and turn it off then the fan stops. And some times the fan can start after a while when the computer has been turned off.
There are two fans for the cooling of the CPU but PCALERT only shows the speed of one of them.. why? according to the manual one of the is called CPU fan and the other one is called sysfan but only CPU fan showes i PCALERT.
Are there no other way to control the Tv other than with the Home Teather system than I find way to slow if you use 1280x1024 resolution on the screen like I do. And are there no way to sort and remove channels in home teather? As i is now I can't move the channels in the order I want and I can't remover channels that the auto search thaught was channels but aren't?
An other thing that I find annoying is that the fullscreen mode of home teather doens't cover all off the screen it doesn't hide the systray and leaves a small but annoying kolumn to the right that showes the backgrund and that is very annoying to watch tv if you have a light backgrund because the kolumn are so bright.

Welcome Kabbo,
I see you agree that MC III is far from perfect. Perhaps you can try the combination of Media Portal and Ir2Key. Just read some of the other posts including "WinIRX.ocx internals/usage" by ddookie. Another possibility is to try Dscaler, but this program is only for watching TV.
Regarding the processor fans: its normal that only one of the two shows up in PcAlert; when you look closely to both fans you'll see that one has only a two-wired connection.
The problem of a fan not shutting down is new to me, I suppose you have checked the connections to your mobo?
Greetz,

TS1440 iMac freezes, no choice but to hard shutdown, turn back on, white screen with folder and question mark appears

Hi,
so my iMac (it's not the most recent iMac if it makes any difference, and I'm running mountain lion 10.8.3) often freezes and I do a hard shutdown as I cannot force quit the applications or click on the apple in the top left to shut it down. When I come to turn it back on, I'm greeted with a white screen, in the middle of which is the dreaded folder with the flashing question mark in it. I've noticed that just before a freeze occurs, it starts running slowly and if I try going onto Facebook for example, it says that it cannot connect to facebook.com despite the internet connection being fine as I can browse things on Google. I have also noticed that before a freeze, in Finder, in All My Files, no files show. I went through this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440 and the problem still persists. Sometimes it does load fine if I shut it down again but when I eventually open up safari, if I had been on youtube for example, it will reload the page from a few videos before and not the one I was on when it actually froze.
Any help would be hugely appreciated,
Thanks
Side note: When it says I must choose a community in order to post this, it only gives me a choice of 3 which are Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, v10.5 Leopard, v10.6 Snow leopard, so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place - is there any way to get it moved to the correct place?

Yes,easy fix but difficult to buy,think you can get them from the states (off the top of my head about £15).When you go to the apple store,tell yhem what you suspect and they will test if it is the cable or if its the hard drive,dosn't take that long and it's free.If you know what to do you can take the back off and with strong magnifying glass you might be able to see the fray look at the bend of the cable.

PlayBook .. problem and question

hi
I have a problem and a question
the problem is i connect my bold 9700 with the playbook by the bridge. it connected sucsseful and i can open the files, messeges, notes, calendar.. etc. the problem is the bbm cant opened. it stuck in the loading wheel screen. i wait for more than 30 min. but nothing happened.
the bbm version is 5.0.3.22
the bridge in the bold is 1.0.0.83
the playbook software is 1.0.3.1868
thanks

Well, I'm surprised that this is playing you up. Anyway, before doing anything else I'd try deleting ALL bluetooth associations on the BB and the PB, uninstall the Bridge App. Reboot both devices and try again. You never know...
If it STILL doesn't work:
I'd suggest a couple of things.
1 - I'm running 6.0.0.534 with no trouble - give that a go. Backup first, obviously.
2 - Try installing and connecting the Bridge before you restore all of your data and apps. If it works, then restore and try again.
I'm working on the assumption that either that particular OS is causing trouble (unlikely), or that there is something on your phone that is meddling with the Bluetooth connection somehow.
Good luck!

T30 Problems and Questions

Ok I have a T30 that I do not know what could cause the problem and thought I could post the question here and see what other users could recommend trying.
First off all Keyboard functions work properly.
Second the power button and such works properly
Now the led lights for power, hard drive activity, battery indication, these do not work.
I think the power button and these LED's are on the same board, although I could be wrong. But it just seems odd that none of the LEDs including the ones on the lower side of the display are working.
Any ideas on what could cause this? Anything I can check? All assistance greatly appreciated.

It's been years since I've last opened a T30. And even back then, I was not playing around with the fuses.
To make one thing perfectly clear: these fuses are *NOT* meant to be user replaceable and you're looking at a board level repair involving components that are beyond tiny. Unless you're very experienced with a soldering iron, you may just want to get a replacement board or an entire barebone T30...at today's prices, that's what I would do.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Udev kernel 2.6 boot problems and questions

Hello there.. During these days I'm trying to install a new linux kernel. I have the insane Idea of installing an old kernel. I compiled the "new" old kernel and I can't manege to get it to work efficently..
I keep receiving a message this message during the boot.
Failed to start udev Kernel Device Manager
Although I followed the requirements for undev related to the kernel 2.6
Why am I trying to install and older kernel? Well, the my reason is simple: my laptop keyboard that it's so annoying.. Every once and then it's not recognized at boot and it force me to reboot the system even for 4 or 5 times consequintely..
With the kernel 2.6 I never had such problems and so I thought It was worth trying..
Another interesting question that keep coming to my mind is related to the kernel that it's been update after pacman -Syu.
I notice that in /usr/src there is a a new directory eithe the new kernel called linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH, well if I try to build the kernel inside thi directory I get a message
linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH]# make
scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile'. Stop.
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2
The linux-headers are seems to be correctly installed to me...
Any Idea or explanation or suggestion would be very appreciated.
Thank you

Arch userspace is too new to survive with an older kernel. This isn't going to end well for you.
If you want your keyboard to function properly, I suggest you file bugs against the relevant parties and work with them to get actually get it fixed rather than go down this bizzare rabbit hole.
edit: even our LTS kernel (3.0.x) is too old for Arch userspace.

K7N2-L motherboard problems, and questions!

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I think it is.
I have a K7N2-L motherboard that is giving me fits! I can't find this board in the data base to try and trouble shoot my issue, either.
Here's my questions:
Problem 1) There are three empty spaces in the floppy drive connection (plug) of this motherboard. Two of the spaces are in the second row, and are side by side, and don't appear to have ever had pins installed. This may be normal. These two empty spaces (blue X's) correspond to spots that don't even have holes through the motherboard to even install any pins. However, the third missing connector pin does appear to have had a pin soldered into it (red X), but now there is no pin. Also, when I attempt to start the system, the motherboard does post and will allow you to enter the BIOS set up. However, at the same time, I get a "Floppy Drive - FAILURE" warning during this part of the start up. This indicates to me that the drive is not being detected, and it may be caused by the suspected missing pin (red X). Here is a crude visual of the floppy plug lay out in question. The green I's indicate existing pins, and the X's the missing pins. The blue X's are the ones that appear to never have had pins, but the red X appears to have had a pin, as it's soldered, but is missing. Please, note the notch at the top of this crude illustration for proper orientation of the plug. If you have any info on this, please, give me some insight as I can't find any way of referencing this problem.

Floppy Connector Layout
Problem 2) It's possible this problem is a BIOS problem, and could be corrected with a BIOS update. However, since I don't currently have a floppy drive, I can't update the BIOS. I've set the BOOT priority in the BIOS as, 1-Floppy; 2-CD-Rom; 3-HDD0. However, the board selecting the devices in the proper order, and thus I can't get any of my drive to boot from either a CD or a Hard disc. I do know that the processor I'm using is good, as it came out of another operating system board. The processor is an AMD Duron 1800/266 FSB. Here's what is being seen with the BIOS with regards to the processor. If, in the BIOS, I set the FSB to 100MHz the processor shows as a 1200MHz processor instead of an 1800. However, when I reset the BIOS FSB to 133MHz (as it should be) the BIOS now shows the processor as a 1900+. Neither of these is correct. Any ideas as to what may be going on?
Thanks in advance.........

Hi
I just checked 8 motheboards that I have laying around from MSI, Asus, Intel and Biostar. The pin location that you have marked in red does not have a pin in it. The ones that you marked in blue do have pins in them. If you are not the original owner, it may be that someone tried to replace a couple of broken pins and gave up.
A bios update should take care of the failure to recognize your Duron 1800. I have provided a link where you can see the later bios revisions.

Black screen with triangle and question mark

I was rotating some pictures in iPhoto (11-9.5) and all of a sudden in the large image window there is now a black window with a triangle and question mark in the middle. Nothing I can do makes this go away so I can enlarge my pictures in this window. iMac 2009, OSX 9. Please help!
Thank you
Carl

OT,
Thank you. This didn't solve the problem. I saw somewhere in another post about doing some more manipulations but I was too uncertain. I called Apple. The first problem was I had a problem in my disc that had to be solved through a series of manuvers I don't remember. Then I was referred to a senior tech for the iPhoto issue. We spent several hours altogether on this. If I understand it correctly, some of my photos from the earliest time were converted into PSD files. The originals could not be found anywhere on my computer. The PSD file could not be worked with in iPhoto and that was why I got that symbol. I have a time capsule that fortunately had data far enough back we could retrieve JPGs. Again through a series of manuvers I don't remember we brought those up, deleted the PSD files, and put in the JPEG files. Seems to be working now.
Thanks again,
Carl

Custom Report with Problems and incidents

I'm trying to create a custom report of all problems and related incidents. I can query the problemDimvw table, but I need some assistance linking to the incidents. Anyone have a query or point me in a direction to join the necessary tables?
What I'm trying to get is Problem ID, Title, Description, and Incident IDs linked to it. Thanks.

E50 problems and questions

Hello, I have a few questions aboyt e50.
i own to phones model e50 and this is what i need:
- big font size for contacts
- is there any way to have wireless on e50?
- the multi task doesnt work ... i tried to upgrade the software...but the same problem
- and the last question is:
how to activate PTT? is says to check the settings...but i dont know these settings.
thanks.
Message Edited by alexrose on 26-Jan-2008 01:37 PM

You cannot increase the font size of S60 3rd edition handsets as it is not a feature they support, you can however download an application called font magnifier from Nokia Software Market http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com
You unfortunatlye cannot get WLAN for the E50-1 either as there needs to be hardware support for this feature too. The E50-1 was the entry level Eseries handset more voice centric therefore no 3G or Wi Fi.
As for the multi tasking, all S60 devices support multi tasking, simply hold down the menu key to open task bar, if you need to minimize an app and keep it running in the backround, simply press the menu key once when in that app, do whatever you need to then hold down the menu key again and select your previous app from the task bar to continue!
PS: Don't keep to many apps running to prevent slowness and?or freezing

VOD - Problems and Questions

I'm in VHO 7 and use VOD all the time mainly for the network shows and premium subscriptions. Been having a tone of problems with VOD not being updated for days/ sometimes weeks at a time on and off for these past 6+ months . Also have the bizzar hourglass icon which has taken the place of the 'new' and red triangle icons. None of the free titles show the avaiable until date. A big problem also is that many times the HD VOD does not match the SD vod - folders available in both sections will not have the same episodes or HD will be missing episode thats available in SD. I've contacted Verizon nearly every way possible, so now I'm turning to this forum to see if anyone else is having the same problems and to see if anyone has any support? Maybe by chance someone at verizon will offer an explanation? Twitter has failed, emailing them through contact us has failed, tech support has failed - what else is there?
I'd also like to know why verizon does not offer all the HD VOD available on the market? I have used Comcast, TImeWarner, and Cablevision VOD in the past and they all have a ton of free HD VOD from the networks that verizon does not offer. They even offer HD VOD of networks not even aviable in HD on the network. I sent the same message to the person who runs FIOSTV twitter and he replyed the with standard issue PR message claiming Verizon offers nearly all HDVOD available and its up to the providers. We all know thats a load of crap. I like the service or I wouldn't still be with them. Just do not like lame excuses and poor response to problems.

Hi we just went to a one bill with fios TV int and wireless and within the first week of service I was already on the phone trying to find out why I lied to too. vod is advertised as to be on demand within 24hrs of original air date but I wasn't receiving most of them for several days later if not a week later. So I called and spent several hours on the phone and all they told me was everything on their end was working fine and they put out a trouble ticket so I got a phone call and we talk and I said why I'm I not getting them on time and I was told bc it's up to when the tv stations release it to them and then they would release to us and I told them that's not the way vod works I told them to provide a service like that theirs a contract between Verizon and the carrier's so he said he would keep a trouble ticket and I would here something back within 48hrs I waited 3 days and I called back only to find that the ticket was gone they told me the reason for that was he put in problem resolved and we were no where close to fixing the issue so I spent more time on the phone with someone different only to here the same thing and I told them the same thing and he finally called someone else and he got back on the phone and said I was right the reason why I don't get vod on time BC I'm not in a high volume market Verizon has states and county's broke down into blocks and were I live is a low volume market so it doesn't get released to me within the 24hrs. But if I lived in a high volume market like a big city with lots of customers I would get it. After my one year contract I'm done withem. comcast has no issues with this problem in my area and that's were I'm headed and this is not the only issue I've had hope this helped

Identity Sync for Windows problems and questions.

the setup:
2 multimaster 5.2 LDAP servers sending updates to a slave replica 5.2 LDAP server.
The slave replica is the instance that has all of ISW software installed, ISW itself and the plugin.
1 2003 AD server is accepting password, cn, and other attribute changes from the slave LDAP replica.
the problem:
When changing a password, or any other attribute on the slave replica, all the changes get synced to AD tree.
When changing any attribute, except for the password on the master LDAP servers, all the changes get synced to LDAP replica and AD tree, except for the password entry in the AD tree. All the password policies have been disabled on all 4 servers.
An interesting detail - eventhough the LDAP replication updates the password entry from LDAP masters to LDAP slave replica, that same change doesn't propagade to the AD tree. Any other attribute changed on the master server, propagades all the way to the
AD tree. The only way to actually force the password change in AD tree, is to initiate the change from the LDAP slave.
Why is that and what can be done to fix it ?
Also, on the subject of replication. Since ISW configuration is stored in the main suffix tree, any attempt to reinitialize the slave replica ( aka ISW server ) erases the configuration completely, requiring a VERY long reinstall and reconfiguration effort.
Is there a way to preven the replica init from erasing ISW configuration ?
Any other suggestions or workarounds ??
thank you

Agree with you on most points. However no all the evnironments are continuously static. In ours, we need to add servers when demand grows
and with LDAP it does so continuosly. Different departments constantly coming up with more and more applications that take advantage for different data in the directory, some demanding authoritate control over various attributes, so I can see there's going to be need for 2 or more multimaster servers down the road. Hence the concern with replica initialization with IDSYNC present on a consumer.
The procedure for replication is defined clearly and the one step that troubles me ( if IDSYNC is present ) is replica initialization, since it completely erases all LDAP data from the replica. That's the problem.
If I restore the replica from the backup, restoring IDSYNC configuration with it, perhaps you're right,it may continue working, but at this point I see it as a design flaw and a major risk anyway.
I didn't see any options during the IDSYNC install to chose another directory
suffix to store IDSYNC configuration, which would've been a simple work around, since replica init erases everything under a specific parent suffix.
I'm just searcing for other ideas how this can be prevented, maybe
using some restrictive ACL to prevent IDSYNC config from being erased by
"Replication Manager" or something along those lines.

I have a grey screen with folder and question mark-why?

When I turn my computer on I see a grey screen with a folder and question mark over it. The folder and question mark are blinking then a couple minutes later the screen turns black. Help please!

Kfrost5792,
if your MacBook Pro didn’t originally come with grey installation discs in the box, then you can substitute “booting from Recovery mode” for “booting from your grey Mac OS X Install disc”, and from the OS X Utilities menu that appears on the desktop in Recovery mode, you can select Disk Utility there to erase your internal disk, which will allow you to perform an OS X Internet Recovery the next time that your MacBook Pro is powered up.

Imac boots with folder and question mark

I have been getting messages about a corrupt index on Mail. Although I followed the instructions to rebuild nothing seems to have changed.
I now have a situation whereby on reboot I get a folder with a flashing question mark or just a white screen.
I have tried to reboot from a snow lion disc I have; it spins up but I just get a white screen.
Is the HD faulty?
Is there any way I can boot to check status. I read about holding down the option key or CMD+R but this does not appear to have any impact.
