It's finally finished and it works!!!

Earlier today, I was stuck in the same mess many are - error messages that would not allow me to "restore" after it appeared I'd backed up and downloaded the new software.  I gave up and went about my day.
Late tonight, I tried again and this time it went through the entire process.  What I had NOT realized was that even after ones regular phone screen returns to normal, the entire upgrade process is NOT finished!!!  iTunes continues to download all the photos, music etc and this takes a LONG time.  In the meantime, one can go ahead and set up the new software on the iPhone.  It's a fairly lengthy process and one needs to open each setting box to be sure all the proper things are turned on/off as desired. 
I was asked multiple times for my Apple ID and that is where it gets dicey for many of us - many of us have had Apple products for 20 years and have over the years, ended up with multiple Apple ID's.  It is my understanding that we need to somehow get them all together.  Fortunately for me, I've used the same one pretty much all the time for the last 10 years or so.  The unfortunate part is that it is an email address I had years ago and no longer use.  Fortunately, it is at least on the same ISP I still use. 
I have also recently run into problems as a long-time MobileMe user - used it when it was .Mac.  In the past, MobileMe seemed to be fine with my using the old [email protected] instead of the newer [email protected].  I think I'm going to have to try to figure out every single thing I'm subscribed to online and change my address to the new me.com as iCloud now wants to use that one.  Oh well...that should only take a day or two - good thing I'm retired!!!
All in all, it was a fairly simple, if lengthy, process but perhaps could have been better explained ahead of time so one would know what to expect.  And the earlier "error" messages where in fact, "busy signals" on Apple servers. 
When did we all become desparate to all upload new software at the same time?  Of is it that Apple has become SO much more popular that what was once no problem has now become a problem of popularity?
Hang in there, folks!  It will ultimately work and you'll be up and ready to do all your other devices.  I believe I'll now go to bed and tackle my iPad and iPod tomorrow.

    Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version.<br />
    You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X

    Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
    I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
    The speed of upload e download is good?

    The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

    i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone.  I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone.  My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I hooked up mine and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser get stuck.  how di fix this?

    i hooked up mine airport and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser gets stuck.  how di fi?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • HT3964 Finally got to the reset SMC step and this worked. Powered the Mac Book Pro A1150 on the following morning and again grey screen and this time the SMC reset refuses to work!

    After following the Apple knowledge base support notes on resetting the SMC I finally got to the reset SMC step and this worked. Powered the Mac Book Pro A1150 back up on the following morning and again grey screen and this time the SMC reset refuses to work!
    The battery still as before indicates not charging and no lights on the battery pack confirm this along with the system profiler which suggests the battery should be replaced. The charger itself actually works ok.
    Any further advice would be useful.

    Replace the battery.

  • Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

    I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
    I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
    I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
    Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
    There are no markers.
    Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
    The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
    The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
    The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
    If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
    If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
    Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
    However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
    FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
    I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
    I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
    Thank millions for a solution.

    It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite.  I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating. 

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

  • Final Cut and Serial Number

    I had Final Cut Studio 5.1 intalled on my Powerbook G4. Then, my computer was sent in and I was without for a month. So while it was away, I put Final Cut Pro on my home computer to finish my film for school. When I got my laptop back, I tried uninstalling Final Cut Pro on my home computer, but didn't have the installation disk, so I just simply trashed the 'Final Cut Studio System ID' on my home computer so that I couldn't use the program.
    So, now Final Cut works fine on my Powerbook. But, I accidently updated to 5.1.4 - while my school computers are still on 5.1.2. So I wanted to uninstall Final Cut, and then re-install it so that the applications would be compatable. But, when I insert my Final Cut Studio Installation Disk, it asks for my serial number, which I put in - but the 'Continue' button never lights up.
    I also went to the website to register my product so that I could download the 5.1.2 update...entered my serial number and it told me it was an invalid number.
    I'm entering the exact same number in the exact same way that I originally did on my Powerbook. Is there anything I can do? The only time the serial number has ever been on another computer before was when it was on my home computer, but I hadn't registered it, and then I removed it - so my laptop is the only computer I have Final Cut on. Why isn't this working? It's quite frustrating when I need an edit for my class tomorrow and I can't work on it.
    Thank you for any help, suggestions, or support.

    That's good to know, thank you very much. I was wanting to use it on my G5 this Summer (same one I installed it in before).
    I'm entering the fields exactly as I had originally entered them, and I'm using the right letter/number (O/0 or I/1) when applicable. But it still won't let me continue.
    I even trashed the 'Final Cut Studio System ID' on my PowerBook, then opened Final Cut, it asked me for the serial number - I entered it, exactly as I had been trying with the disk, and it worked. But it still won't work on the installation disk.
    Also, I did a bit of editing on the PowerBook (5.1.4) and then moved to my school's computers (5.1.2) expecting them not to be able to open the file, but it did. I know that 5.1 and 5.1.1 weren't compatable with 5.1.2, so how is 5.1.2 compatable with 5.1.4? Regardless, this is good news.

  • Ripping dvd footage to Final Cut and re-exporting to DVD

    Greetings,
    I'm taking footage off of various dvd materials with the intention of bringing them into final cut and re-exporting an edited product onto dvd. My method has been, thus far: to rip whichever chapters I'm looking for using Mac the Ripper, bring the chapters (VOBs) into MPEG Streamclip for 100% quality conversion to the 'Apple DV - PAL' setting, and then bringing those files into final cut for editing. However, it seems no matter what my export setting is, I'm getting quality loss on the finished product - a bit of pixelation (most evident on high-def televisions), etc. Converting the .VOBs to an Uncompressed setting wouldn't work as I'm working with hours of accumulated footage and the space it would consume wouldn't be a possibility. What I don't understand is why, when I burn a cloned dvd using Mac the Ripper there's hardly any quality loss at all, but here I'm getting quite a bit. Is this due to a re-compression happening somewhere? And is there any way of getting rid of it? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    There is about four or five generational losses in your workflow.
    There isn't a way around that.
    Use the original footage to preserve quality in the process.
    Plus, why is MacTheRipper necessary with non commercial DVDs?

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
