Made the leap to Leopard. All is fine, except.....

Did a Clean and install and all went well. FCP working fine. I knew I would have trouble with Motion templates ( not there ) but I also am finding that every time I play a motion graphic in the time line it locks up ( beach ball of death ). If I render first I have no problems. This even happens if I export out of Motion as a QT instead of a Motion file. Orange line. Did not have this trouble in Tiger. Could al least play without a lockup. I know, I know. Shoulda waited, but I had some free time over the holidays.
Any hope on the horizon?
Best,

What version of FCP/FCS?
I'm of the opinion, unless you are running FCS2, stay away from 10.5.
But then again - the Apple marketing juggernaut is not to be denied.
Cheers,

  • When I share a video with fcpx and it goes to Quicktime, the last few seconds goes mute. I checked the clip and sent that the same route and all is fine. It is only when I send the whole 3gb video. Any ideas?

  • I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

    I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

    Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
    If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
    If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions.  That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

    Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a  64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK  for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

    I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

  • Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it 2 weeks ago, all works fine except monitor display.

    Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it two weeks ago; all working fine now except for the monitor, display is dim and photos not appearing properly. Any suggestions? Apple said would cost too much to repair, anyone had any luck with outside repair facilities? thanks.

    I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

  • Everytime I start time machine, my computer backs up +/- 250MB, then freezes.  Tried it with 3 different external drives, all stop at about the same point (they all work fine on other macs). Any suggestions?

         The drives I have are Seagate 1TB GoFlex portable drives (one has UBS 3.0, the other USB 2.0), and a WesternDigital 1TB passport (USB 3.0).  I originally tried to backup with Time Machine using the Seagate USB 3.0, and when that didnt work, Seagate suggested maybe since my operating system is a little older, that I try with a USB 2.0, so they sent me another NEW external hard drive, with the USB 2.0.  Had the same issue.  Frustrated and convinced that Seagate just  sucked, I went and bought the 1TB WesternDigital passport (USB 3.0).  Have the exact same issue again.  Every drive was new, and formatted for mac.  When I started time machine it started to back up my files, but froze after copying give or take 250 MB (usually 252.5MB, to be exact).  I went and tried the drive on several other macs, and none of them presented any problems.  I also tried dragging individual files, but it still freezes on pretty much anything bigger than +/- 100MB.  Disk Utility says that all the drives are fine. Obviously this is a problem with my computer, and not the 3 brand new external drives.  I thought about upgrading to OSX 10.6, but don't know if this'll help or not (plus, I'd really prefer to have all the files backed up on a drive before doing that, just in case).  I dont know what else to do.. called apple, but I'm not about to pay them $50 to have them MAYBE give me a solution (done that twice now for previous unrelated issues, and each time they just told me to take it to a computer repair place.)  Just seeing if anyone out there has a solution before I cave and take it back to the certified computer guys for them to figure it out.. Also, I live in Montana and theres no apple store anywhere close (not suprising), so taking it to an Apple Store is just not an option.
    Side note:  Seagate tech support is awesome; they tried everything to solve the problem, and they even bent their rules a little to send me a new drive, even though it wasn't a malfunction issue with their drive.  Really helpful, friendly people, which is much more than I can say for Apple at this point...

    this is what you need to do to exclude everything apart from desktop.
    on time machine preferences, click on Options
    click plus sign, on the new window, click macintosh HD
    do a Control + A then deselect users then click okay
    go to options again, plus sign, go to users, control +A then deselect your user account
    go to options again, plus sign, go to your user account, control + A, deselect desktop
    start the back up.

  • Suddenly I can't burn any tunes to disc.  I receive an error report - 4280.  What's the problem?  It all worked fine last week.

    Suddenly I can't burn any turnes to disc.  I receive an error report - 4280.  What's the problem?  It was all fine last week.

    Additional information: 
    -also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
    -am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago.  Tried another brand also to be safe.  None worked.
    -ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
    -also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
    -tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
    -Apple suggested it was a copyright issue.  I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
    -They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently. 
    Solution:
    Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked!  Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there.  That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings.  Not sure why.  Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

  • When I go to a link all is fine except the link takes up the entire screen and there is no way to move out other than control alternate delete and brining up task manager to exit out of firefox, help

    again, I am able to use search of firefox to get to a link but then all the tool bars from my operating system are no longer available as the link takes up the entire screen (there are no firefox toolbards either so I can't shrink the page etc).. Thus I cannot move around and am stuck with no option but control alt delete to get to task manager to close firefox.

    Thank you so much...
    1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
    2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
    3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
    r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

  • I burned a DVD from imovie.  All was fine, except the DVD dropped the sound at least three times.  ???

    Why does conversion from IMovie to IDvd result in periods of dropped audio ?

    Hi
    A. I do not use - "Share to iDVD" from within iMovie - but - Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD)
    B. My notes on this
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
    Yours Bengt W

  • I have succesfully replaced firefox 4.0.1 with 3.6.2 as I have a Mac Mini but not the intel chip. Everything works fine except I can't get rid of the install window and the firefox logo in a simulated drive on my desk top home screen.

    When viewing videos, they would seem to running in slow motion. I thought that by reverting back to an older version that was compatible with my system that I might correct the problem.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Requested trial for Ai, Pr, and Ps - All downloaded fine except Media Encoder. I get unable to see server. Any ideas why it would seem our firewall dislikes this single install?

    To check the install was done I have run Ps and wasted a major part of the trial waiting to get the encoder.

    Kevino24635473 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for Premiere Pro to determine why Media Encoder is not being installed.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • My Calendar synced to the cloud and now all but three months are gone! How do I get the rest back?

    I upgraded to the new iso and all was fine last night.  Over night, I guess my phone must have been backed up to the cloud and when I got up this morning, everything but three months was missing!
    I did a manual sync before I updated to my computer will it still be there?  How would I recover it?
    Thank you for any help you can give me...

    I have EXACTLY the same issue.  I would appreciate the response also.  Was not prepared for this.

  • Audio stops regularly on all on demand except ipla...

    My youview box was delivered yesterday.
    All seems fine, except that the audio stops and starts regularly on ondemand programmes, except iplayer. Even iplayer HD works flawlessly.
    What could the problem be here? I have a 10Mb connection that the box seems happy with.

    This started happening again and the only thing that will fix it is a reset.
    has anyone else had this problem? I need to know now whether to send this back.
