Landscape typing not quite there?
As I continue to get accustomed to this new update to 3.0 I am noticing some things that could be improved. Today I viewed a voicemail and tapped the arrow to the right of it for more detials then saw there was a share contact option there. Tapped the option to share and it opened a new window for an email. I turned the iPhone so I could type the email in landscape mode and no dice. Looks like when you are sharing contact info you will have to type it the old school way.
Works fine for me. Shouldn't matter how you go there, as it is still the same email app thus the same code. It isn't a special screen or app.

BWF Import, not quite there yet...
Hi there,
I just downloaded the 5.1.2 update and was quite excited by the new (at last) BWF import feature. So the first thing I tried was to import some BWF files to see how it works. The files I have at hand are BWF, Polyphonic files, with 24fps Timecode. They were originated with an Aaton Cantar and polyphoniced' using Majax.
I have to say that I'm not impressed:
- The resulting Clip in the browser has a 25fps TimeCode. It cant' be changed.
- The sc/take info, as well as the info typed in by the sound recordist don't appear in any of the columns.
Am I doing anything wrong?
PierreHi Pierre,
I think unfortunately the BWF support announcement makes it sound a little better than it actually is. Its a good step, but there is by no means full BWF support in 5.1.2. For a really detailed intro to what's going on here is a post from Andreas Kiel (who develops BWF2XML):
Hi all,
One of the new features in Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 will be enhanced QT metadata support and
support for the Broadcast Wave Format. (More informations about BWF can be found at the
EBU Website.)
As I did one of the (living) applications to integrate BWF into a FCP workflow I got a lot of
questions from users and potential user about the "BWF compatibility" feature in FCP 5.1.2
and how BWF2XML compares to the options in FCP.
Some additional information about uncompressed/HD/film workflow and audio can be
found at:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/white_papers/L328398A-
USL328398A_HD_Workflow_FilmTV_FCPwp.pdf#search=%22L328398A-
USL328398A_HD_Workflow_FilmTV_FCPwp.pdf%22
Introduction:
Beside all the other improvements with this new version of Final Cut Pro, one of the big
improvements is that this new version makes extensive use of all the new QuickTime
structures, allowing QuickTime metadata access and tc64 timecode (which is audio
timecode). This last feature has been tested with a lot of different files, and nearly all files
with tc64 information showed up correctly.
The QuickTime metadata access will allow third parties to create QuickTime components
with metadata - like the DPX/Cineon component from Bob Monaghan at GlueTools, the
first of it's kind. This will also allow other companies to create a QuickTime components
for MXF, IMX etc., and you'll be able to drag a MXF (or something like that) to the timeline
with all the metadata included. So stay tuned for future announcements from third parties.
tc64 audio timecode is something new in QuickTime:
QuickTime is interpreting the BWAV header entry for the samples after midnight - most of
you (at least those who are interested) can already check that: just open a BWF file in
QuickTime Player Pro (7.1.3), press cmd-J and enable the TC track. You'll see the samples
after midnight (don't save when closing the file).
Final Cut Pro now makes use of this this QuickTime feature, and creates a timecode based
on the tc64 samples after midnight and the sampling rate. This will result in seconds after
midnight. The seconds can be converted to timecode by extracting hours, minutes,
seconds and partial seconds, where partial seconds will be converted to frames based on
the timecode base.
The timecode base is complicated to figure out, since mostly it's not written to the header
of the BWF file. And even if it is, QuickTime won't interpret it, since it is nearly impossible
to automatically interpret all the ways the header is set up. There maybe other information
in the header like reel, scene, take, note etc. However, this currently won't be interpreted
by QuickTime as well. As opposed to a QuickTime timecode track, reel information is not
kept in a tc64 track. So if QuickTime doesn't interpret it, Final Cut Pro can't either, and for
the timecode, it will probably take the current timecode base of the project, which might
differ from the original sound recording.
With audio, there are also things like 29.97 NDF (which is not available in Final Cut Pro
right now), and the samples after midnight also may be based on either real world seconds
or NTSC seconds. Plus, there may be playback instructions in coding history. All of this is
quite a complicated thing, and it will be left to the user to think about the setup in
advance.
File formating and appearance:
BWF can show up in either polyphonic or multi-mono format. Both of these formats do
have advantages and disadvantages.
Polyphonic files are easy to handle. As all tracks are included in one file, they are faster on
transfer from the audio harddisk recorder than mono files. Polyphonic files are also easy
to import with the new Final Cut Pro feature. They have the disadvantage that removing
unused tracks is difficult when it comes to exchange with other audio workstations or
when using XML and reconnect, since they are interleaved.
Mono files take longer when transfer from the audio harddisk recorder since the de-
interleave has to be done prior to transfer. They also have the disadvantage that they can
only be imported as discrete files, and need to be connected "channel by channel" within
Final Cut Pro, which makes the process much more tedious. The big advantage of using
mono files though is, that you can remove (or even add) channels and will have no
problems when doing an interchange with DAWs, via XML, or with content management
systems. The channel files can be handled by Media Manager up to a certain extent when
left untouched, or fully when converted to a .mov format.
More detail about the two kinds of timecode tracks:
The QuickTime timecode tracks we are used to working with behave, let's say, just like
another "movie" track, so you can step thru frames.
tc64 reads the timestamp of an BWF audio file - this happens only once, so it behaves like
a long frame, which can't be stepped thru by samples, frames, seconds etc. It's just one
frame when activated - even though it shows the samples during playback.
The QuickTime timecode track forces a file into a specified playback behavior, which is
user-defined, and even can be changed within Final Cut Pro (within certain limits). It can
also be used as AUX TC in synched clips.
tc64, when used in QuickTime/Final Cut Pro, just gives a reference which relies on the
sample rate to get the time. To change the playback behavior, you need to change the
sample rate "virtually". This means that the file's samples are not changed but the "this file
is sampled at" description will be changed. This can be done with a third party application
outside of FCP (this is our current info about changing playback, and it might be wrong).
As said above, with QuickTime timecode there is timecode timebase and reel info, with
tc64 there can't be timecode timebase and reel info.
What about bringing BWF2XML and the new QuickTime/Final Cut Pro features together?
This should work cool, since Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 will accept the tc64 for first time ever, and
BWF2XML can supply you or Final Cut Pro with the additional metadata without converting
to QuickTime timecode (though there are still a lot of advantages doing that).
But it needs some additional steps done with BWF2XML, like changing playback settings to
apply pull-up or pull-down. If that's done, BWF support in Final Cut Pro will be exceptional
compared to other NLEs, and conversion will be lightning fast - even if there is no direct
import plug-in for this "combined" import. With the new XML version 3, things may
become easier and BWF2XML may work as a pseudo importer plug-in.
Conclusion:
So why do I write all these mostly "negative" things (about FCP)?
Pretty simple, since working with these relatively new formats and devices isn't that simple
for most video and postpro people.
Apple made another big step into the tapeless future, as well as some of you who made
this step using "new" devices and formats. With new devices there is always the problem to
establish something like a "common sense" for set up and workflow, which doesn't exist
right now.
So if a BWF import into Final Cut Pro would give you an erroneous result, don't blame
Apple and don't start threads about blaming Apple, they made the above step, and they
too will probably run into similar problems as any of the other companies - like me - who
are dealing with BWF, machine setup, file setup and naming as well as user setups.
Other companies just restrict, maybe by the amount of channels, maybe by the titles/
names of metadata entries, maybe by kicking out metadata entries - and still the other
companies look to be a little bit ahead.

Miguel is right, your query as written would not return the data you seek. Even if it did, your nested <cfoutput> would not display each individual firefighter like you want, either.
In both cases you are misunderstanding the use of the grouping. When you use "group by" in SQL, or "group" in cfoutput, you are asking for detail rows to be discarded from the results. I suggest studying your SQL documentation and your CF documentation.
Meanwhile, this should work better:

Broadcast quality, not quite there....?
Looking for some advice from the powers that be! I have been editing for web based stuff for years and had a client that wanted me to do a TV commercial. After upload to HD TV, ABC Network it looked ok, but not what I wanted. I will explain my workflow and please tell me what I should do different...
Sent spot in H264, 59.94fps, 1280x720 as requested by network. Shot the footage in 29.97 1080p, converted with Mpeg Streamclip
-After I saw the spot on HD TV the color was off which I can change, needed to lower the saturation. I am editing on a Macbook Pro (new Mac Cylinder shape computer with thunderbolt monitor on order). Do I need an external such as a TV, to edit on so that I can see the outcome as it will be on TV?? What is my mode of operation here?
-Next, there is a curb going up a road from bottom left to top right of the screen, so the curb is diagonal, but there is very tiny lines that run horizontal (left to right) on the curb..? Wondering if that is a "deinterlacing" problem? Will it fix this if I choose the deiinterlace function on Mpeg Streamclip?
-This sort of pertains to the above question. My graphics, letters, where the "S" is in the words on screen they look kind of like the curb I described above? In other words if it is not vertical or horizontal line it appears to be broken on TV.
As a side note EVERYTHING looks perfect on the web version! Not bad on TV, but not perfect... Please advise?? Thanks in advancequalityI don't use a broadcast monitor so I'll let others who do address your color question.
As for the image artifact, there shouldn't be any interlace combing if it were shot progressive. But from your description, it does sound like interlaced. What's the camera?
Wondering whether it was progressive shot in an interlaced stream and FCP isn't reading it correctly.
Also, try a custom test project set to 720p. Bring one of your 1080 clips into FCP without reformatting in Streamclip.
Export the clip as a Master File. Check for artifacts in QTX.

Solaris 10 6/06 ZFS and Zones, not quite there yet...
I was all excited to get ZFS working in our environment, but alas, a warning appeared in the docs, which drained my excitement! :
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuous?a=view
essentially it says that ZFS should not be used for non-global zone root file systems.. I was hoping to do this, and make it easy, global zone root UFS, and another disk all ZFS where all non-global whole root zones would live.
One can only do so much with only 4 drives that require mirroring! (x4200's, not utilizing an array)
Sigh.. Maybe in the next release (I'll assume ZFS will be supported to be 'bootable' by then...

non-global zone root file systems..Yes. If you can live with the warning it gives (you may not be able to upgrade the system), then you can do it. The problem is that the the installer packages (which get run during an upgrade) don't currently handle ZFS.
Sigh.. Maybe in the next release (I'll assume ZFS
will be supported to be 'bootable' by then...Certainly one of the items needed for bootable ZFS is awareness in the installer. So yes it should be fixed by the time full support for ZFS root filesystems is released. However last I heard, full root ZFS support was being targeted for update 4, not update 3.

Macbook not quite there...
Hi,
My macbook pro has been running brilliantly until yesterday... Hopefully someone here can help!
I think the problem may be that I left my mobile charger at the inlaws house so used my usb cable to charge my phone whilst I was using my mac. That is the only thing that I can think of as to why my mac is not not starting up.
All that happens now is I get the grey apple logo screen with the spinning icon for about 5 seconds then the whole computer shuts down again and just powers off to be back at square one.
I am not the best mac user but I do need it for my business which I run from home so any fast help would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
JarrettHi jarrett;
Charging a phone on usb should not cause the problems you are having. My suggestion is to put the install media for your MBP in the optical drive and hold down the "D" key while booting. That should start Apple Hardware Test which will check your hardware for you. Let us know the results.

I'm experiencing a not-quite-crash every time I attempt to open firefox on my new computer. What happens is that the menu bar (which I prefer to have visible instead of that orange single-button menu) has all the letters on it turn gray, and I lose my ability to click anywhere on the page, including to close it. If I attempt to close the page via the taskbar it doesn't let me. It does, however, let me open new windows via the taskbar which don't have the same problem, which allows for an easy-but-inconvenient fix. I've tried it out and it does not have the same problem in Safe Mode. As a result of not being a "true" crash I can't give a crash ID, so you won't be able to trace it that way, sorry.
''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.

Iphoto will not quit or force quit
iPhoto will not quit, will not force quit, and if I turn off my mac and turn it on again, it is still trying to import photos from my disconnected iphone6. What shall I try next??
Open the iPhoto Library Package:
Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
Then launch iPhoto again.
If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.
If you cannot quit an application even with force quit, you can usually kill it from the Terminal.
Open a Terminal window.
Then try first to stop iPhoto by typing
killall iPhoto
If that does not suffice to terminate iPhoto, try this modification:
killall iPhoto -KILL
The "kill" command sends a signal to the process to be terminated. Without a signal name as parameter, it is the "TERM" signal, the same as "Force Quit" will send. This request can be ignored. The "KILL" signal is the ultimate killer, it is not catchable and cannot be ignored.

ITunes (Windows) does not quit properly
Closing windows version using "x" at top right corner of screen or selecting Exit from file menu makes iTunes clear the screen, but it's still runnning.
I have to do a ctrl-alt-del and then manually quit the process tree.
Otherwise, re-clicking on the iTunes shortcut or even doing a "Start->iTunes" will get you a spinning clock and then nothing on screen.
Windows task manager will claim it's running, but there is no interface.
Sometimes Windows shutdown is hung up because a program named (looks like about 20 open boxes but with an iTunes logo) is running, but will not quit.
itunes Mac on same network connection works flawlessly.
Any suggestions?

Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER
<UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
Problems:
1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
I have repaired disk permissions.
I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

Firefox will not quit when closed.
I have two problems with Firefox. It "hangs up" after a couple of minutes and will not quit and when I go to restart my computer, I now have to manually close some windows to get the computer to restart.
I was on Firefox 3 something and Firefox would go along nicely for about 10 minutes and then hang. The computer wasn't frozen - it just hung and you couldn't go to any other pages or connect to any other links.
I upgraded to Firefox 7. Same problem. I upgraded to the latest version of Flash player. Same problem. I uninstalled the latest version of Flash player, reinstalled the earlier version, and then gave up when nothing changed and reinstalled the latest version again. That's the first problem.
The other problem is that when the Foxfire window hangs and you close it down, Forefox is still running in the background and nothing, I mean nothing, not the Task Manager, but nothing will close it except rebooting the computer. If you restart, you get window that says nsAppShell:Event W... and you have to manually close that window to restart your computer and it takes for freaking ever.
I have done everything I can think of and everything that has been suggested, as far as I know. I have uninstalled Firefox 7 and reinstalled it again. I have deleted the parent.lock file (yes, I remembered to delete it when I reinstalled FF7 again). I have checked every extension and plugin I have. I don't have many, but I did check them all. Doesn't matter whether they're disabled or not, Firefox still hangs up, although sometimes I get the nsAppShell window again and sometimes I don't. If I disable one plugin, I will not get the nsAppShell, but then the next time with everything else the same and that plugin still disabled, I will get it again. Now I'm getting a window about fonts that needs to be manually closed before I can restart the computer.
I'm at the end of my rope. I love Firefox, but tomorrow for the first time in 6 years, I'm going to another browser because I need to be able to use my computer. You guys have no idea how absolutely frustrating this is. I'm having to use IE right now and I hate IE. But if I can't use Firefox, what else can I do?
By the way, my computer worked fine all day yesterday. Last night there were some Microsoft updates that went in automatically when I shut down. Maybe it's those? But there is one other thing I saw and that was that Grease Monkey was updated today. Now I disabled Grease Monkey and still got the nsAppShell window and Firefox still hung up. So I uninstalled and reinstalled that too, and it still didn't make a difference either way. But maybe it has something to do with it, although I wouldn't know how to fix it if disabling Grease Monkey won't fix the problem.
OK, post script: I closed Firefox down about an hour ago or more ago and couldn't get it to quit again. I decided to not restart the computer again, so I just left it go and went to IE. I just now, for a lark, tried to restart Firefox and it did restart, but it's taken an hour to do that. I went to another page and it hung up again. So I don't know, but I have to be able to be able to use my computer and right now that's impossible using FIrefox.OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox! -
