It should be so simple, but...

Using my MacBook Pro I took some TV stuff off my Tivo using a Canopus analog to FW converter. I used iMovie '09 on the MBP. Then I copied the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects directories onto a brand new internal 1TB hard drive in my new (refurb) Mac Pro. My plan is to use this drive for data only, leaving the 300GB drive for OS and apps.
I started up iMovie '09 but I can't seem to get it to use the 1TB drive. It wants to create a new project on the app drive. How do I tell iMovie that the Events are on the other drive and to use it?
Thank you.

The external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). iMovie will not recognize a FAT32 drive. If necessary, you can reformat the external drive with Disk Utility.
ALso you should use iMovie 09, not the Finder to move the Project and Event to the external drive. This way, the links will be updated. If you move stuff with the finder, it will no longer work on your MBP. (You can move the files back to the original locations, make sure it is working, then do the following.)
Hold down the Command Key as you drag the Project to the External disk in the iMovie Project Source list. Then, with the project selected click FILE/Consolidate Media.

  • When did Adobe decide to market a product that manifestly doesn't work? It should be so simple, but it's made so difficult. Even the process of getting help is a nightmare. How do I get a PDF converted?

    How does anyone get a point over to Adobe? Not everyone needs or wants a bewildering range of product permutations. I bought the product to do just what it should - convert PDF to word. It worked once, I had the 'Welcome' email, and from then on, it's failed in every possible way. How many others using this forum have a similar experience?

    Kamal,
    Thanks for the help. I have been really trying hard on this and appreciate your help. I know that I have put at least 40 hours in trying to get a simple connection to a database with a c# program with VS2005.

  • How do I save to mixdown in mono, 0 db reduction in volume, in 64 bps mp3? Sounds simple, but none of the support staff has been able to do it.

    How do I save to mixdown in mono, 0 db reduction in volume, (Same volume level as in the files-no -3db reduction) in 64 bps mp3? Sounds simple, but none of the support staff has been able to do it.

    Several solutions to this problem.  I believe we may have discussed this over the support e-mail, but I'll share it again here so that it can help others as well.
    First, as I discussed in the e-mail, Audition defaults to support Pan Law which prevents content mixed to the center of a Stereo field from being louder than the same content panned far left or right.  This provides a -3dB drop to center content by default, but you can disable this completely by entering Preferences > Multitrack and setting the Default Panning Mode to Left/Right Cut (Logarithmic)
    Now, when you create a new Multitrack session, there is an option to specify the Master channelization.  Here, you can select Mono, Stereo, or 5.1 and this will be the default channelization mode for a basic mixdown operation regardless of your clip content, though can be overridden when exporting a session mixdown.
    Next, if you just choose the menu item Multitrack > Mixdown Session to New File... it will always default to the Master channelization.  This command does not write to disk, it is a preview or pre-processing step.  If you wish to export your multitrack session mixdown directly to disk, in your desired channelization and file format, please use the command File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session...  You will then have the complete set of output options, including the option to output at any channelization you like and the format you prefer.
    Here, I've disabled the default 5.1 output and selected a Mono mixdown instead.
    I've now changed the file format settings as well to MP3, 64K.
    With most of these configuration details, you should only need to set them once and these will remain the defaults for any subsequent projects, unless modified again.  The Export Multitrack Mixdown dialog will reset the Mixdown options to match the default output, and the MP3 settings may update to reflect the kBps setting nearest your session sample rate.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.

  • Extremely simple but baffling to me: Constructors.

    I haven't a clue what they are. I've read about them online and in the Java API, and I still have no idea what they are.
    My current understanding is this: a constructor is code dedicated towards defining how to treat a variable.
    But...I have to write two programs using constructors and I have no idea what to put in them. And in fact everything I've tried gives compiler errors. I'm sure all of you know the quiet desperation and frustration I'm feeling.
    Anyway, the assignments are:
    1) Create a class called Employee that includes three pieces of information as instance variables - a first name (type String), a last name (type String) and a monthly salary (double). Your class should have a constructor that initializes the three instance variables. Provide a set and a get method for each instance variable. If the monthly salary is not positive, set it to 0.0.
    Write a test application named EmployeeTest that demonstrates class Employee's capabilities. Create two Employee objects and display each object's yearly salary. Then give each Employee a 10% raise and display each Employee's yearly salary again.
    2) Create a class called Date that includes three pieces of information as instance variables - a month (type int), a day (type int), and a year (type int). Your class should have a constructor that initializes the three instance variables and assumes that the values provided are correct. Provide a set and a get method for each instance variable. Provide a method displayDate that displays the month, day, and year separated by forward slashes.
    Write a test application named DateTest that demonstrates class Date's capabilities.
    It all seems extremely vague, to me.
    For the first assignment I've got:
    public class Employee
         public String FirstName;
         public String LastName;
         public double Salary;
    Which I think is right. But all attempts to create a constructor that have failed...I don't even know what one does. It seems kind of absurd for my first two labs to be so simple, basically logic exercises, and this to be so mind-destroying.
    There's got to be an if/then to see if the salary inputted is negative, which is simple, no problem.
    But the set and get methods...there's no data inputted into this program, so what the hell is it setting and getting, and how would the syntax work?
    Like:
    public void setFirstName( String FirstName )
    FirstName = FirstName;
    Doesn't work. And I think it's because it refers to itself for its own definition, which is nonsense. But I can't figure out what's right.
    The second assignment is simpler, but it also makes no sense to me. The day, month, and year are not variables. And even if they are variables, the user doesn't input them only to have them displayed, right? So what is the assignment even asking for? This is all taken directly out of the book.
    Any help is appreciated. =/

    Which I think is right.Well, generally fields shouldn't be public; they should be private. Also, you're not following Java naming conventions. Fields should start with a lower-case letter ("firstName" not "FirstName").

    I'll give you a hint. The assignment says:
    Your class should have a constructor that initializes the three instance variables. This means that the constructor will need to take arguments, so you can use the arguments's values to assign to the fields (instance variables).
    But the set and get methods...there's no data inputted into this program, so what the hell is it setting and getting,The assignment tells you exactly what's going to be invoking the setter and getter methods:
    Write a test application named EmployeeTest that demonstrates class Employee's capabilities. [etc]

    Like:
    public void setFirstName( String FirstName )
    FirstName = FirstName;
    Doesn't work. And I think it's because it refers to itself for its own definition, which is nonsense. But I can't figure out what's right.Right. In this case, the parameter name is obscuring the field name. This is where the "this" keyword comes in handy:
    this.Firstname = Firstname;Your textbook and teacher should have mentioned this.
    The second assignment is simpler, but it also makes no sense to me. The day, month, and year are not variables. What do you mean they're not variables? The assignment clearly says to make them so.
    And even if they are variables, the user doesn't input them only to have them displayed, right? So what is the assignment even asking for? It's just a super-simplified example. You're right; it's worthless in terms of real-world practicality. It's just something pointless but simple for you to get practice with. Don't worry about it.

  • What should be a simple 'button' script

    Too old, too many hours working on this and too tight a deadline. This should be a simple script, but I'm getting nowhere fast!
    User enters a dollar amount into a field called 'Pay', clicks one of four radio buttons called 'Frequency' labeled 'Weekly', 'By-weekly', 'Monthly' and 'Annual'. Based on button pressed, a field called 'Annual' is updated to reflect the results of:
    Weekly = Pay * 52
    Bi-weekly = Pay * 26
    Monthly = Pay * 12
    Annual = Pay * 1
    Eventually, this form will be distributed throughout our entire organization, with completed forms being emailed to a central office. As a result, I'm working in LiveCycleES and Java, both of which I'm a novice with.
    Any assistance from this forum is greatly appreciated. Even a link to a working example of this process that I could decipher on my own would be a great help.
    Thanks so much.

    For a radio button group called 'frequency' where the value binding is
    1 - weekly
    2 - bi-weekly
    3 - monthly
    4 - annual
    you could add the following client-side JavaScript to the 'frequency' change event.
    var frequency = form1.subform1.frequency.rawValue;
    switch (frequency) {
    case "1":
    form1.subform1.annual.rawValue = form1.subform1.pay.rawValue * 52;
    break;
    case "2":
    form1.subform1.annual.rawValue = form1.subform1.pay.rawValue * 26;
    break;
    case "3":
    form1.subform1.annual.rawValue = form1.subform1.pay.rawValue * 12;
    break;
    case "4":
    form1.subform1.annual.rawValue = form1.subform1.pay.rawValue * 1;
    break;
    default:
    break;

    CAN ANYONE HELP??  I ALSO NEED TO KNOW WHICH/WHAT TO PICK FOR MY MAIL CLIENT. I'VE TRIED THREE DIFFERENT THINGS AND NONE OF THEM WORK!

    Mail would be a good choice, unless you are using another email client, like Outlook. There is likely something wrong with the account setup in iPhoto. You may need to delete the account you set up and enter it again if you want to send with iPhoto instead of with Mail.
    Give this a try to see what might be wrong: Drag a photo from iPhoto onto the Mail icon in the Dock. It will create a new message with the photo attached. If you click on the photo in Mail, it should show a popup menu to allow you to set the image size to send.
    Check out some of the links in the More Like This section to the right. There might be some other suggestions.

  • It might be simple but...

    Hello Illustrator group:
    I just began learning the program, after years of working on PS, ID, AF, PrePro, etc. and have been working on a project that requires Illustrator. It should be simple, but for the life of me, I can't figure out a way to do it.
    I already put a graphic together in PS CS4 but it prints a little blurry, the reason I want to do it in Illustrator.
    Any suggestions, or observations will be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance

    The logo is a musical clef interwined with the letter C.

    The file looks very good, but I keep having the same display problem with Acrobat. I know the whole file is there by the thumbnail. Also, if I export it to jpg or tiff the file looks fine.
    Now, this is something that never happened when I used the graphic from PS CS4 as the logo. I started having problems when I placed the AI CS4 file in ID CS4, then export to Acrobat.
    The problem with the faint lines disappeared once I traced the original clef from the PS file in AI. Before I used the clef glyph and increased its size to specs.
    One last item is that I'm noticing that the black background is not as rich as I would like. Is there a way to improve this? I included a link so you can download and view the test file. Let me know if you see the black background.
    Thank you one and all.

    PS: I output a pdf file by "printing" to the pdf printer, instead of exporting and I see the file fine. Does this mean that it is the "exporting" parameters that are giving me trouble?

  • Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Simple but reliable small office setup

    Hi group,
    I need some advice on setting up a simple but reliable small office wireless network. Up until now, we had a consumer AP combined with wired connections. However, we're moving to a new office where it's difficult to implement a wired network and we decided to implement a good quality wireless network.
    So, I was looking into business quality wireless AP's and it looks as if the Aironet 1600 is an interesting option. However, I'm not a (wireless) network specialist and have no knowledge of controlled AP's.
    The office is (only) 278 square meters (24 x 11.6), divided in two main areas by a supporting wall with two large doorways. I would like to keep the setup costs to a minimum, ideally using only 1 AP. This might mean placing the AP on the ceiling near the dividing wall (which is roughly in the middle), or on the wall itself.
    We need to support fast wireless connections from 15 laptop computers now, and up to 25 in the near future. Also, we'd like to support 15-25 mobile devices, i.e. tablets or smart phones.
    I've found some info on the differences between the AIR-CAP1602 and AIR-SAP1602 models, as well as the Internal and External antenna versions. It seems to me we could use the Standalone (SAP1602) model. However, I don't have enough knowledge to determine if the Aironet 1600 is actually appropriate for our requirements and if yes, which model.
    I would very much appreciate your advice!

    A 1600 would work or even a 2600. I prefer the 2600/3600 though but cost is your concern. I would also place the AP on the ceiling but belies the ceiling maybe in the middle if possible. Don't place the AP above the ceiling because you will loose coverage. Internal antennas are fine and just to note, rule of thumb is 25 users per AP so just in case you need more throughput, maybe using two separated by 3-5 meters would help also. If the 1600's are the choice for you then look at having one or two APs.

    Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

    CS6 was the last version capable of opening Pagemaker files. It's included with Cloud subscriptions, so if you don't have it installed (or an earlier version) you can download it from your cloud subscription.
    To open them you use File > Open..., but the quality of conversion can range between nearly perfect and total garbage, depending on the PM file and the status of links (unembed images before trying to convert).
