Is the '11 update worth the hassle that I am reading?

I am a longtime iMovie user and am very hesitant to get the '11 upgrade after reading all of the reviews. I need factual opinions from fellow iMovie veterans. Thanks.

using iM since vers2 ... hope this is veteran enough ...
iM11 is actual the best version of iMovie-b (=iM-a is vers.≤6).
it handles my Cam's AVCHD video perfectly, offers all the 'effects' I need for my home-videos (mainly soccer game documentation), and is fully integrated into iLife suite of apps.
what it lacks: no option for plug-ins (as for more transitions), no option for add-ons (more Themes&Trailers as 'Jam Packs'), no integrated pointers (I'm using the well-known .png trick), the delivered, pre-defined Soccer-theme doesn't hit the needs of this sports (hey, the 'weight' of a player is nonsense, but what about goals, points, places?) ...
technically I don't notice any 'hassle'.

    Are you sure that you are not talking about the Kindle App? I might be missing it, but I don't see an Archive section in iBooks categories.
    You can create a section for the books that you have read in collections in the iBooks app.
    Tap on Collections, tap New - name it Archived if that is what you want to call it. Tap Done, then tap the bookshelf anywhere. Tap the Edit button, tap the books that you want to move to Archved - tap Move in the upper left and select Archived.

    I have turned my keychain 'on' on both my i phone 5 and my ipad. the instructions online say I should just follow the on screen instructions to set this up, but there are none. What I am doing wrong?

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

  • HT204053 It seems as if I have 2 accounts.  I would like to combine one account with the other.  How can I close one apple ID and combine it with the other that I was not aware I had set up???

    I would like to close one account and only use the other.  D

    You can't close or delete accounts (you can only remove any personal info from them and stop using them), and you can't merge accounts or transfer purchases to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded them.

  • I want to build an array using the data that I get through the serial port

    I am reading data through the serial port, but I want to buffer these data. I have seen a function, but i think that i can use this if I am reading data from I/O intrument, so I don´t how can I fill an array, with the data that I am reading!!!
    Thank you!!!

    I'll hazard a guess that you are reading data with VISA as a string. Then you want to convert that (probably with Scan From String) into a number. Then, you want to collect those numbers into an array.
    We don't really have enough information to tell you the best way to do this. Here are some ideas.
    If you are reading all the numbers from the instrument at once (e.g., a waveform from a scope), you might consider using "Spreadsheet string to array". Most scopes return the data as ASCII with commas between the values, so you'd wire a "," to the "delimiter" input of the "Spreadsheet string to array" function.
    If, however, the instrument is returning a single point at a time, there are more questions. Do you want to do this continuously, or do you want t
    o collect only a certain number of data points, and then process them as a block?
    If the latter, then you'd just acquire each data point, convert it to a number, and then use output indexing on the for loop to create your array.
    If the former, then you may want to store the data in a queue, and read it from the queue elsewhere in your program.
    If you let us know what you want to do, we can probably provide more precise help.

  • Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

    Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

    C. Raio
    We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
    In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
    The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
    And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
    Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

  • My iphone 4s will not sync any music, it does the apps etc and the contents but not the music that i have selected

    I have been doing itune for years and this one's puzzled me?

    Hi im a newbie here and i recently bought an iphone from a friend (wahh i know i should have bought it legitly but i wasnt paying that price sorry),
    I have a 32 GB Black Iphone 4s and theres a problem.
    Yesterday i decided i wanted music on my phone and decided to sync my phone to my itunes and computer..
    But lets backtrack first... Earlier in the day i decided to plug a (non iphone heaphone into the headphone port) and much to my ssureprise it worked (all ive ever dealt with is blackberry) unplugged the headphones and a few hours later this is where i synced my phone tried to play music an GASP nothing..in the music app the volume nubs are gray and cannot be moved left or right and no sound is being heard.. also when i tried to check to see if my ringer was going up and down it was displaying the little speaker but not the bar that moves. Read the discussions here and it seemed that we've all been screwed now i love my iphone and all its features only phone ive ever wanted but i would love this to be fixed.
    I have tried:
    Restting all setting
    Hard Reset
    Restore
    Restore from back
    Changing everything imaginable in Setting and nothing has worked
    Making a voicenote and i actually got sound and my ringer started to work! YAY right.. WRONG
    Cleaning it with nail polish removeer
    Brushing it with a brush
    Using a paperclip and scraping it
    *i did find some fluff but it came out*
    After a few futile attempts at trying to play videos and games with sound and getting nothing i have decided its time to put my tail inbetween my legs and hope that someone can help.
    Im not sure if was the type of headphones that i used or hat but i need help
    PLEASE REPLY I NEED MUSIC
    I AM ALSO A YOUTUBER AND FILM OFF MY IPHONE AND I NEED TO HEAR WHAT **** I AM TALKING AT THE END OF A VIDEO
    THANK YOU

  • My brand new Macbook PRO crashed completely after it went through the iOS 10.7.4 update, I lost everything and Apple just wants to replace the HD and let me deal with the hassle.

    Last Thursday May 10th I received a prompt from the Automatic Update to update the iOS to Ver. 10.7.4, set the start and was watching the progress when it stopped with an error message saying that it was not able to update, right below there was a buttom "RESTART", pressed the buttom and waited to re-boot.....That was the end of my computer, somehow the update crashed my HD beyond recover, it would only show the gray screen with Apple logo in the center and kept beeping, BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....on and on and on and it never past that.
    Friday May 11 I took it to a retailer where I received the bad news that the HD was crashed and the teck couldn't even try to copy anything from it as it couldn't locate it. I checked iCloud on a hope that all my stuff would be there but new surprise, iCloud didn't kept all of my stuff as it was programmed to.
    Now here is the funny part, the tech from the retailer informed me that the only thing they could do was to order a new HD for my 4 months old Macbook and that the time to have my computer back will be at least 15 days, now that is the funny part, I fail to understand why do I have to suffer the hassle of loosing all my data plus wait at least 15th days to have my computer back (meanwhile loose work) on a problem caused by Apple, PROBLEM, not machine defect, clearly my computer had no problem untill I followed the procedure to update.
    On Saturday May 12 I contacted Local Apple Support (I have failed to mention that I live in Brasil) and they informed me that what the dealer said was the only thing that could be done, too bad for me if I lost everything, going to loose several days of work and whenever I receive my computer back will have to re-construct all my life and deal with the forever lost data.....DEAL WITH IT
    After a couple of discussion with Apple Support and the Dealer, I made my decision to take the Macbook to the dealer today for repair and meanwhile I'm opening a case with the Brazilian Justice to have Apple honor with all the trouble and hassle that it is causing me, it's said that I have to take this type of action as I'm a very fan of Apple and it's products, have had several iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, Keyboards, Mouses, Apple TV, etc.....This i the first time I have a problem with a Apple product and got a taste of the "Apple Care", it seems like Apple is more concerned on seeling products then keeping long time customers happy.
    One last thing, today when I was at the dealer to drop my computer for repair, the Technician informed me that he also had a computer crashed and the HD erase on Sunday May 13th in the same way of mine, after the update everything was gone, also he said that we were not the only ones, iPads and iPhones were going trough the same situation, update causing complete breakdown.
    WORD OF ADVISE, BE 1000% SURE THAT YOU HAVE EVRYTHING BACKED UP BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH AN UPDATE.

    That's exactly what Time Machine does for you.  It backs up every hour, so you don't have to.  While it is backing up, you keep on working.  Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
    The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail.  Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes.  They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time.  Your mileage WILL vary!
    If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four.  You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem.  And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
    Apple hardware and software is very, very good.  You have documented your experience of this.  But NO hardware or software is perfect.  You also have experience of this.
    It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

  • HT201270 Has anyone done this update? Is this update worth it? what are the main features of this updates?

    Has anyone done this update? Is this update worth it? what are the main features of this updates?

    What version are you on now ? If you are on 5.1.0 then the update to 5.1.1 is very small - from here :
    Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using the Lock Screen shortcut
    Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks
    Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances
    Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List
    Fixes an issue where 'Unable to purchase' alert could be displayed after successful purchase
    If you are on an earlier iOS version then you will get the intermediate updates as well e.g.
    iOS 5.1 : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1504
    iOS 5.0.1 : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1472

  • Is the new OS update worth the effort ? ...

    Having a hard time updating my iPad to the OS 4. whatever version. What exactly are the benefits of the new version over the installed version that's already on the iPad? I like it and can use it for everything the way it is, but lots of people seem to be having issues downloading and after installing the update. Is it really worth it if everything works now ???
    Thanks everybody ... Happy Holidays ...
    Dave

    If everything is working, and you don't want/need any of the new features (multi-tasking, folders, Airprint/Airplay) then you don't have to upgrade. But you may find that over the coming weeks/months any apps that you have may get updates that require the new iOS - in which case if you stick with the version that you've got you won't be able to update them.
    There are a number of people who have had, or are still having, problems with 4.2 - I havn't had a single problem, but there is no guarantee that you won't be one of the (probably) fairly small minority who have had. And most people who post on forums like these are those with problems; those who are ok tend not to sign up and post.
    If you having problems downloading the update, then a number of people have had success after temporarily turning off their firewall and anti-virus.
