Is this the most confusing manual ever written?

I think so. Just trying to do a simple DVD in Version 4 and I'm reading a manual that seems to have been written by cyborgs with hypo-polycarbon series 442k119 ntellect chips placed in their data dispersion centers.
Next time, how about a chapter that tells you how to just do a simple one to five button DVD? If my friend can explain it to me in 5 minutes over the phone, why can't Apple put it down in their manual as clearly and concisely as he did?

I spent a week studying the manual carefully from cover to cover, but found it poorly organized and difficult to follow. I've learned more from diving in and asking questions when I'm stuck. I think it's an excellent program, very powerful and intuitive. I think the manual scares people who might otherwise use it and get comfortable with it. DVDSP gives me a lot of flexibility when clients blithely ask for something that would have been impossible with my previous template-only software, which is why I bought it.

I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it xtill says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this?

I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Premiere has the most enoying error ever in history

Hello people, I'm working at a project that involves a lot of Premiere and after I've progressed with it, it gives me the most killer error ever. How can I solve this? I can't recover my work, so everytime I have to start over from some point it auto-saved. Please help me with this!
I'll be waiting for your suggestions.
Thanks!

So... this isn't actually any help, but I would have to say the most annoying error message ever is FCP's "General Error". Which would then be followed by your system crashing. Has to set a record for least informative error ever, and it used to come up fairly often.
I'd follow Steven's advice, and import either you project or sequence into a new project.

iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

Is this the most up to date version of Adobe Muse CC ?

Hi, I just installed Adobe Muse CC from Creative Cloud. It installed perfectly except the version that installed (7.1 and 7.1.329) was not current. I know this because under effects tab: missing scroll effects. Creative Cloud shows it is up to date, but is this the most up to date version? Platform is on Windows 7. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Friend!
The last update is v.7.1, Build 329, CL 778884.

The most confusing broadband problem I've ever com...

Well, This all started about 3-4 days ago now. I was online one night and suddenly, everything Disconnected. However, not entirely.
The network shows that I am online with Internet access (Hence how I'm here right now posting this) But this is where it gets confusing.
I can do some things and I cannot do other things that require a simple Internet connection.. By all means, it Should work.
Here's some examples of what I can and Cannot do.
1. I cannot load a webpage like normal. eg, Google.
2. However when I use a Proxy, I can load a webpage. eg. Right now.. I'm using a proxy called Tor Network to access the site.
3. I cannot sign onto Windows live Messenger. At all.
4. I can sign onto Skype. Confused yet? : o
5. I cannot sign into my account on Imvu. (Yeah I use that)
6. I can sign into an MMO and play it. (For the noobs out there, MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online)
7. I cannot load emails through my usual program.
8. However my Mother can. :\
That's about it.
Some small details here..
This does not only affect my computer, but everyone's computer/Mobile/iPod that connects through this network.
We have had an IT Technician come in, and he was utterly clueless as I am. (I'm fairly experienced with computers and IT and so forth... This has me confused like nothing else)
We have tried turning the router On and Off again, many times. Including unplugging it. Does nothing.
We've tried doing 'repairs' on the computers, of course.. Nothing
Also whatever the IT guy tried did not work either.
So please, if anyone can help us out with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. : )
Thanks ^^

what kind of network do u mean.
"...affect everyones pc...mobile phones..."
If u just still mension HH shared for others then I will recommend u check line stats.
Have u changed router/modem with own ?? or been using own equipment?? this like to happen when u dont change MAC code to match MAC from oryginal HH. It did happen to me when I was on adsl2 with BT.
Simple change mac address to HH, and left disconnected router/modem for 30 mins and after that time.
Works without any problems till the end of contract. Similar sytuation I had with O2. Sometimes stopping work, again help change MAC code to the oryginal one, after change havent got problem with wan connection.
Disconnect for 30mins -- min. The system will realase assigned MAC code and will assign MAC of router/modem again. With oryginal provaided routers/modem's this helps also.
Hmm.. some one make u bad "joke" and change settings in router or your son been try set port forwarding and activate function "BT power save" <-- this function,work sometimes, some times does not respond and HH hard reset is needed to get back online) and mess with firewall. Just been try everything to play online or due to bad pings think that was something to do with port forwared firewall and mess about it.
Check adsl filters as well to make sure that all are ok and none of the phone at home is connected without filter ( if u use NTE5 u dont need filter)
If everything fail. borrow router/modem from anybody and connect or take your HH to your friend which has BB from same provaider and connect to the landline and check that is working. If not then call BT for replace and send back your router to them for either repair or replace. The adsl port could be damaged as communication dont work proply. HH could get overheat due to hard use etc. and keeping it next to wall heather.
Check what ever u can check at home and check HH. Once u get this checked ring BT. Trust me u will save your time, if someone will want to carry the check by u just wait 10sec yes dont work etc. and u will get new hub or if its fine then eginner will take a look at DSLAM etc.
you can also remove face plate and check that both wires seat tight in "V" shaped slot's. Just touch them and let see that move, if move then u should ring BT as this is their problem, or u can do this on your own, push them in tight.( just dont mension that u ever did this, as u get any other problem in future the BT will say that u broken it) If u are familar with IT etc. You cannot do nothing wrong.
I think if u hold for 5sec reset buttons it will restore to defaults. ( just carry the checks once u check line stats and website for any problems with your exchange etc)

Why did they change Pages icon??? - it was the most beautiful I ever saw!

I wonder why version 5.0.1 of Pages (that which comes with the new Mavericks OS has been changed. The previous one (an ink bottle with a stylographic pen) was the most beautiful icon I have ever seen. I particularly appreciated the transparency of the glass! And the icon was also functional, so different from anything else in shape and color and so nicely contrasted resulting in high visibility.
Can someone tell the reason of this choice? Can I get back to the previous version of Pages (keeping the new OS) to have my beloved icon back?
thanks
Dario

I suspect that they simply changed the icon so that it was clear you were using version 5 of Pages and not the earlier version.
I agree that the new version is lacking many of the advanced options of the old version but I am sticking with it and finding ways to do most things I need to in the new version.
As I share password protected files with others using Word on Windows PC's, the new facility to password protect .doc files and then open them in pages is a godsend. I spent half my life borrowing my wife's laptop to add passwords to documents via word, or strip passwords so I could work on the documents in Pages. Now no longer have this issue Hurrah!!
By the way, if you had Pages before and have installed the new Pages 5.0.1, then look in you applications folder, you should have the old version still there and can use it without needing to do a time-machine rollback.

Firefox Sync is the most infuriating thing ever, how has it lasted this long like this?

I'm sorry if this comes across as more of a rant than a query, but I am absolutely disgusted with how incredibly difficult it is to get Firefox Sync working properly (or perhaps how easy it is to break it).
I opened a previous support thread @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/983868 but I was unable to get any advice that seemed to change anything.
I have tried 2-3 more times on the latest Firefox (27 I believe) with new profiles, clearing my sync data, and every possible combination inbetween, and I can never get my devices to sync reliably past, even the "First sync" progress bar fails while adding devices #2, 3, etc.
I got so desperate that I decided to try Nightly's new Sync (Firefox 30), hoping that things would have improved without the need for a Sync key (since I was confusingly getting sync key errors, despite entering it manually). Low and behold it STILL does the same thing, except that now I'm provided with an even more transparent service. I am unable to view my data quota, and Firefox doesn't even ask me for my master password now when I hit sync. That, and it's STILL complaining about the lack of a recovery key, when there is no such thing as a recovery key anymore, what the heck?!
In the course of a few hours I have created dozens of error logs, and this is all by trying to use just 1 Desktop installation and 1 mobile installation. I have probably approached burning over 20 hours trying to get Firefox Sync to work, and it's apparent that the feature is just flat out broken.
Even with all of the errors, some things sync properly like Tabs and occasionally preferences, but other things like history, bookmarks, and add-ons never work after the initial sync (or even during the initial sync). It seems though that the further away I get from the initial sync point, the less reliably these features work.
This may fall on deaf ears, but I thought I'd reach out for help one last time to see if anyone can help, or perhaps point me to a place where I can receive more technical support. If anyone is able to help, it would be greatly appreciated. My logs can be found here
Firefox 27: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KtJAZ-pKFqZkMyZ3R5MTVRWFE&usp=drive_web
Firefox 30: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KtJAZ-pKFqWXFtb3Y2ZWxiQ1U&usp=drive_web

I'm not exactly sure if that's a statement or a question, but it doesn't really pertain to my predicament.
I created an entirely new Sync account with brand new Nightly profiles, the only thing I brought over was my places.sqlite file, as I could not transport my history via any other means (passwords, bookmarks, add-ons, etc I all did via other methods).
The initial sync usually works, but after that things just don't seem to work correctly.
I also ran into another problem in that I cannot delete my sync data via
* https://account.services.mozilla.com/
I also tried deleting the account, which kind of seemed to work as I was no longer able to log in via the above website; however when I tried to create a new Sync account with the same e-mail address, it said an account already existed. I tried logging in to my deleted Sync account via Nightly, and it logged in as if it was never deleted.

Is this the most expensive "Mickey Mouse" phone ever?

I have recently got my iPhone 3GS and it’s and impressive device. The market leading MP3 player and the best mobile browsing device ever - with an innovative and intuitive user interface that is way ahead of its competitors.
As a PDA its OK – but lacks the functionality and integration of Windows mobile devices. Doubtless the apps will come to resolve that and at the moment – there are work arounds.
As a phone though – the last phone I had so basic and functionless was 9 years ago. Apple’s heritage shows in this device – reliable quality computing and audio. A lack of phone experience.
*Key issues that irritate*
==========================
There are no profiles and no way to create profiles. When I go into a meeting I don’t want to have to take my phone from its case and hit the silent button and put it back – and I don’t want to do the reverse when the meeting’s over. The same when I get in and out of the car – I want Bluetooth switched on and voice dialling on one profile.
There is no means to create a shortcut. So to get in the car I have to go to settings, general, Bluetooth and switch it on – the same when I get out.
There are no user groups in the address book –which can share a ringtone for example.
There is no way of filtering calls e.g. when in a meeting – only accept calls from users in the VIP group, or from 'Tom' etc.
I’d like Apple to resolve these issues in a future OS update. What else should they address?

Your post just strengthens the idea that everyone uses their phone differently.
I have a belt case for my phone, and the silent switch and power button are accessible without taking the phone out. So when in a meeting, I can quite my phone without having to remove it from the case.
Other then a shortcut for BT or Wifi, the rest of your needs don't coincide with mine or anyone I know.
Something I would like to see is scheduling of email/sync - Turn it off from 11pm to 6am. Same for Fetch email.
I do agree things are missing, but my needs are different then yours.

Is this machine the most annoying PC EVER?

is there any way that I can speed up my internet performance? I am so sick of watching that stupid little circle spin that I'm ready to buy a mac and just be done with it all.
What are the tweaks that will smooth out how this thing operates? Does anyone else see the same issue? Blame it on Vista if you want, but I have another vista box that does not have this problem.
Why is it that when I click a link that the little circle needs to present itself and spin for a few seconds before it decides to go to a link?
ALSO, what does that stupid circle continue to recycle every few seconds?? I JUST DONT GET IT?!!!!
By the way, I do not have McAffee.... Using Trend; which, all my other machines use as well.
What can I do??
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Described problem has nothing common neither with Vista nor Lenovo. It's your Internet - it may be slow or you may have problems with your router or you've launched torrents/eMule in backgrond. Many things can cause such behaviour but none of them can be adressed Lenovo or Vista.
Plese try using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 instead of IE that is buggy. Also test your speed and post it here - that'll help to resolve the case.

This is probably the most stupid question ever but..

how do i log out of the apple site on the computer? lolz. i am using the school computer and i dont want to leave and then have my account used.

What "Apple site" are you referring to? If you are referring to the iTunes Store, go to the Store menu in iTunes and choose "Sign Out".
If that's not what you mean, please explain further.
This wouldn't seem to be related to an iPod touch, BTW.

HT4061 Help....this is the most confusing mess I've encountered in a loooooong time!!!

I merely would like to change the security questions.....I answer correctly and it shoots it back to me!!! Help???

Contact Apple Support, have them verify your account and send you a reset link.

Flash Player is the Most annoying thing ever

Cant get adobe to work. It keeps freezing my computer for about 60 seconds when i try to watch youtube or something. 'Adobe flash player has crashed do you want to send crash report?' comes up on the screen. Then low and behold it starts working maybe 2 days later then it stops working again in another 2 days! And its a constant cycle like this.Its simply wrecking my head. I've read all the forums and tried everything, nothing seems to be working, and the 'great' people at the help centre gave me great advise, they told me to go to the forums!!! Is that their job to redirect people to the forums? Easiet job ever, i want that job, muppets! Sorry i'm ranting now but its so frustrating!

Hi, you didn't mention any computer info, but you are probably using FF(Firefox)? No one is going to help you until you post your computer information, 64bit or 32bit, browsers Installed and version numbers.
Flash Player is not the problem, it's everything that a user has Installed into their browser most of the time that causes problems. Or they don't have Flash Player Installed correctly and a hundred other reasons:-)
Thanks,
