Media Manager...am I doing the right thing?
I'm making an amateur film in Final Cut Pro. Since I'm doing the sloppy (although much less time consuming for me) batch capture method, I have right now far too much DV footage for my scratch HD.
To fit in the final scene, I have to delete some material. I was going to use the media manager, set it to "Use Existing" media and delete anything that was unused in a few of my sequences. I tried this in a test sequence by selecting the sequence alone and then performing the media manager operation. It seemed to work fine.
My questions are these--
1. If I captured my footage as one big clip, then split up the big clip and made the split clips into "independent clips," am I doing anything egregiously wrong with the Media Manager with these settings?
2. Is there any tutorial/link/settings anyone can recommend in the media manager for a newcomer to FCP like myself? Any suggestions about how to make sure I won't delete something I don't want to?
Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately, no. Media Manager is a failure in FCP
that has been completely ignored by Apple since it
was introduced.
Not quite true... It's been rewritten several times... the interface isn't friendly, partly because it does so many different things other than just consolidating media...
But no one seems to take the time to read the top box which explains what you have set the MM to do... it's there and very understandable - just nobody seems to read the dang thing...
For some folks, MM works perfectly
and predictably.
Like me who reads the summary, and consistently use it before the media has taken all the space up and there's no way to make "copies" first... And when the audio is finished in the offline, I'll copy and paste the clips to the mm'd sequence, or export a stereo mix and edit that into the MM'd sequence.
I encourage you to search the forum for Media Manager
posts. It will take you several hours to wade through
the screeds but you will find many helpful
suggestions.
The explanation in FCP's manual explains it pretty well... again user's are not reading the manual... See section IV-77 of the manual (available online thru help if you don't have the printed copy handy).
Because of this, my next commercial training effort (a DVD) will have a very detailed explanation of the MM... and it's not going to be a reading exercise... rather a QT movie of it all... no reading required.
And in answer to the original post, the only thing that could cause problems is the fact that "using existing" will delete the original files in the process and if there's a hitch there (like a corrupted copy, or a crash etc.., you can't recover as easily. It's safer to use "copy" instead, but that of course requires that you have open space for the copies that you can check before you delete the original files so it's really not going to be useful to those who didn't think ahead... pretty common problem.
I'm not saying that MM is without flaws (the confusing interface is one of them apparently), but am saying that there's a way to use it properly and have a lot better time of it...
Jim Cookman here has a workaround that works very well too... Don't use it. Instead, Jim logs clips as individual master clips first, so he can manually delete media that is no longer needed... Of course this takes the patience that most users don't seem to have for what ever reason.

I agree..I'm not going to get ahead of myself and plan out what I want to buy before anything is really gone into detail. But I do say if it's just for the Apple online store (not iTunes store) then that Apple protection plan for the iPhone that I haven't got yet looks pretty nice. But if it's for iTunes as well then I'm getting $100 worth of 24 season 6, ringtones, and songs. -
Am I doing the right thing of selecting MBP instead of rMBP?
Hi,
I'm a game developer and am getting my first Mac computer just to jump into iOS game development. I currently have a Core-i3 17" laptop and it's doing what I want but can't make iOS files. I'm not sure what to do with my current machine when I get the Mac, maybe I keep it for our game development team, maybe not.
I spent 3 weeks reading reviews and forum boards regarding MBP and rMBP and finally chose MBP but as I've read more MBP reviews, reviewers despite saying that MBP is a good machine, say that it's the last iteration of Apple in the design and "a thing from the past".
Let me tell you about my thought process and hopefully people can help me:
Display:
rMBP's best thing against MBP is it's display, which I don't think I have any use for. I usually work with text editors to write code and almost never watch movies with my laptop's screen and always connect it to my TV via HDMI and no game engine is Retina-enabled as of now and I don't have images that fit that display nor I do film editing or intensive photography/Photoshop. So if I get the Retina display, I'll mostly switch it to 1440x900 in order to "work" with most softwares and as I'll be still using Windows alot, the 2880x1800 has no usage there as none of the softwares that I work there updated themselves. But it's IPS/LPS technology will be lovely for me and I don't forget first time I saw one of those 27" Apple monitors that blew me away.
rMBP wins here but I'm afraid it will hurt me more than being useful to me.
HDD:
I'll surely install Windows there so a 256Gb SSD will fill up way easily. I'll keep a lot of stuff on my machine and getting a better external drive helps but if I get rMBP I'll have to buy one, which adds another $100 or $200.
Also give that if you fill up an SDD, you'll lose performance gradually, I'll probably have to invest around $200 to get an external HDD if I end up with rMBP.
Also I want to install games on Windows to use it's GPU and with 256Gb, that will suffer if you use more than it's %85, it will be a waste. I know I can install games on external drive but that's not cool.
Yes SSD is fast, and my helps my work and loading games but I think here the size matters more than speed.
So MBP wins here. (I can later change MBP's optical drive to an SSD and put my OS'es there)
Upgradibility:
Since I'll probably leave for a teaching job and there are not apple stores there, if I want to repair my machine, I'll have to use unauthorized repairs so fixing MBP's are hard already, give the glued battery and soldered RAM, makes it almost impossible.
And also if I get rMBP, I'll have to panic and upgrade RAM at least, even though even games do not need that amount of RAM and when they do, my GPU will be the bottle neck years before that.
(Very nice article regarding thsii: http://ifixit.org/2763/the-new-macbook-pro-unfixable-unhackable-untenable/)
MBP clearly wins here.
Weight & Size:
Yes I, like most people, prefer a lighter machine but since I'm to a 17" HP and an old Core Due Toshiba, I think the 15" MBP will be light enough and that extra lightness is not mandatory for me.
rMBP wins but goes to some extra points that MBP aldready has.
Optical Drive:
I almost do not use it, so I can live without one. But I like the fact that I, apparently, can remove MBP's super drive and put an SSD there, maybe I'll do this like in about a year or so that I'll upgrade it's RAM, give that I take MBP.
MBP wins, because I can remove the optical drive and put whatever I want instead.
Resale value:
rMBP wins, clearly. Because most people's brains are in their eyes.
Possible error:
rMBP is first generation and new batch of a new electronic product and we've already heard and read about defected machines and me living overseas will make it even worse if anything shows up.
One of the things that I don't like about MBP is that I feel like I'm buying a last-generation thing because clearly Apple's aim is towards Retina and SSD but I'm going against it. Maybe I'm all wrong and should trust Apple.
So what do you think on this? Please be specific as you like, I hate general sentences without proof. And if you compare things, please show some website or proof for it so it will be easier to talk on a solid base/accusation.
Thanks in advance. It will be my first Mac that I'm buying with a looot of savings, that's why I'm scared a bit.Ordered 7/16/2012 the 2012 15.4" Macbook Pro (NON retina)
With:
2.6GHz i7 CPU
1GB GPU
HR Antiglare Screen
750GB 7200 RPM HDD (soon to be replaced with Crucial M4 SSD with a fresh install of Mountian Lion)
I really wanted the rMBP but just could not see the real value of the Retina display when the (HR) 1680 X1050 is really ideal for me. I also have the late 2011 Macbook Air that has 1440 X 900 resolution, it's not antiglare and not glossy either. I also have a 2006 Black Macbook with 1280 X 800 and it's not antiglare and not glossy. If the rMBP offered a antiglare display I'd probably still be deciding (took 3 weeks already).
The thoughts that keep me on the fence between the 15" rMBP and 15" MBP was "I need to buy the future and not invest in the past".
And since I made the decision Im glad I did (15" MBP Antiglare).
my Pros/Cons list
rMBP MBP
Speed X X (tie, if add SSD)
Expansion X
Weight X
Generation X (decided long ago to NOT buy 1st generation anything, if possible)
Repairability X
Resale X (not sure here but makes since, new beats old)
Antiglare X
Cost X
Ports X (FW800, Gigabit Ethernet, DVD/CD drive)
Value X -
Thought I was doing the right thing...Protecting my phone
New to the forum. I didn't see this on here already. Bought the new Z10 learned from my past experiences, so I bought the blackberry hard shell case. Aafter not even a month of using the case. I now have a line in the display. the case has two sections on the front that fold nicely into a stand. But where the fold happens there is a line forming in the display its not dirt its actually in the display. like something is wrong with the pixels extremely visible on a white screen. This is a "BLACKBERRY MADE" case and its screwed my display. Contacted my carrier, my carrier told me to contact blackberry. I can't find a way of contacting them in their support section. Does anyone know of a way of fixing this? Or how I can get in touch with someone at blackberry?
thank you for the help.The only way you're going to get through to BlackBerry without paying an incident fee is by going through Rogers. Rogers is contracted to support your device and if they cannot, they're to escalate your issue to BlackBerry. Even if it's the case that caused this and perhaps not the phone itself, your phone is new and it's having an issue which Rogers cannot fix so call them and ask them to escalate your issue to BlackBerry.
Keep us up to date on your situation.

JPA does the right thing for select but not for update
Hi,
I'm struggling a bit with my first JSF application: at the moment on the persistence. I am using classes generated by Netbeans. I have a JSF page which is deployed on Sun AS.
The select, update and new are all done from the same backing bean. Only the select works, even though they all use the same EntityManagerFactory.
I copy the 3 methods below together with persistence.xml. May be someone can suggest why no updates;
......The injection code
@Resource
private UserTransaction utx;
@PersistenceUnit(unitName = "PortGenPU")
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
private EntityManager getEntityManager() {
return emf.createEntityManager();
.....The selection code: This works.
public DataModel getUserProcessess() {
EntityManager em = getEntityManager();
try{
Query q = em.createQuery("select object(o) from UserProcesses as o");
q.setMaxResults(batchSize);
q.setFirstResult(firstItem);
model = new ListDataModel(q.getResultList());
return model;
} finally {
em.close();
....The update code. This gives a success message but doesn't change the db
public String edit() {
EntityManager em = getEntityManager();
logger.info("In Edit name = " +userProcesses.getProcessName());
try {
utx.begin();
logger.info("In Edit trasnaction = " +userProcesses.getProcessName());
userProcesses = em.merge(userProcesses);
logger.info("In Edit after merge id = " + userProcesses.getProcessId());
utx.commit();
addSuccessMessage("UserProcesses was successfully updated.");
} catch (Exception ex) {
try {
addErrorMessage(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
utx.rollback();
} catch (Exception e) {
addErrorMessage(e.getLocalizedMessage());
} finally {
em.close();
return "userProcesses_list";
....The insert code: This also gives a success message but fails to change the db.
public String create() {
EntityManager em = getEntityManager();
logger.info("In create name = " +userProcesses.getProcessName());
try {
utx.begin();
em.persist(userProcesses);
utx.commit();
logger.info("In create after persist id = " + userProcesses.getProcessId());
addSuccessMessage("UserProcesses was successfully created.");
} catch (Exception ex) {
try {
addErrorMessage(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
utx.rollback();
} catch (Exception e) {
addErrorMessage(e.getLocalizedMessage());
} finally {
em.close();
return "userProcesses_list";
...Now persistence.xml ("portdev" is a sjas jdbc resource)
<persistence-unit name="PortGenPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<non-jta-data-source>portdev</non-jta-data-source >
<class>anicca.portfolio.data.UserProcesses</class>
</persistence-unit>this an example of how to update a record through
jpa:
public void alterOrderQuantity(long orderId,
int newQuantity){
EntityManager em =
jpaResourceBean.getEMF().createEntityManager();
try{
em.getTransaction().begin();
Order order = em.find(Order.class, orderId);
order.setQuantity(newQuantity);
em.getTransaction().commit();
}finally{
em.close();
Hi.
Many thanks for the help with update. I had seen an example like yours before but forgotten about it. Do you always have to have a em.find() inside the transaction? (We are talking about a user submitting jsf page to be updated.)
And what about em.merge(). What is the purpose of this function? It is quite unclear from the javadoc. -
Computer retailer does the right thing.
All too often suppliers come up as the bad guys on these forums. Frustrated comments from people who have had major problems with their machines and not been able to get a successful resolution from their supplier.
Well, I'd like to do the opposite. I want to compliment my supplier.
You see, my Toshiba Satellite L650-0E8017 died. Either hard disc or motherboard failure. The computer was only two weeks old and it was dead.
Harvey Norman Electrical (Oxley, Queensland, Australia) immediately replaced it with a brand new Toshiba Satellite L650-0ED017. Now that is customer service, congratulations gentlemen.Refreshing to see a positive comment on customer service here.

Can an ipod get a virus from a pc that has a virus. After connecting two different ipods to my pc to download music they both are not working correctly, could the virus have transferred to the ipod, if not why would both ipods not work and be doing the same thing? When trying to click on a game it just stays on the main screen.
- I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
- Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
Other apps? -

Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!
If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

Given the fact that the Network Extender can be set for managed access or open access, clearly it can technologically be configured so that a closed network could be set up so that ONLY those users that are included in the "priority list" could access the Network Extender.
If I had to guess, Verizon, prefers to benefit from your internet connection and your investment in a network extender by bolstering their network in poor reception areas for all of their customers in the vicinity on us Network Extender owners' backs rather than to do the right thing and permit a customer who has paid for the device as well as their internet access to close the network.
I find this sleazy and hope VZW will rethink its approach to this. We who subscribe to VZW for our cellular service pay the highest rates, on average, in the country for cell service. We have also paid hundreds of dollars for the Network Extender, and pay for the internet that is used to facilitate the phone calls made through the network extender.
Once it a while it would be nice if VZW did the right thing for its customers and not blatantly, at least, put their corporate greed about the needs of their customers.I called Verizon tech support, and was informed that there is an option to close the Network Extender. This would allow only numbers on the white list to connect to the extender. Is the information I received incorrect? I spoke to them just the other day. Have you tried to configure the extender recently?

Cursor Hover Pop-up Doesn't Say the Right Thing?
Hello everyone,
I'm a fairly new Macbook user and I'm beginning to notice that the the yellow boxed pop-up doesn't always relate to or say the right thing. For ex. if I had about 6 to 7 tabs open, the tabs found further right have no problem giving me a brief description as to what the tab is about if I hover over it. On the other hand, the tabs more on the left would give me links to Twitter, Wikipedia, Apple, etc (basically the shortcuts above the tabs) even though they're something completely different.
I also couldn't help but notice that the little bubble that pops-up sometimes displaces itself too (top left or right corner). I thought both of these issues were happening because I hadn't updated my OS X system but even after doing so, the same thing occurred. It's not a huge problem but I personally find it annoying, especially when I have many tabs in one window and can't always make out what it says. I kind of like the hovering tool when working.
Any help would be appreciated.Care to share which OS you are using?

[SOLVED] Some keybindings in i3wm doing the wrong thing
I've been using i3wm for about a year now, and up until today it's worked perfectly.
After an update, some of my keybindings are just plain doing the wrong thing. The rest seem to be working perfectly.
mod-i is for "go to the window to the right", it now opens emacs
mod-k used to close a window. It now has no apparent effect
There's no issue with the keys inside of windows. For instance, I've used the 'i' many times in this post, and it works as expected.
Here is my ~/.i3/config:
# This file has been auto-generated by i3-config-wizard(1).
# It will not be overwritten, so edit it as you like.
# Should you change your keyboard layout somewhen, delete
# this file and re-run i3-config-wizard(1).

Here is what I tried:
Restarting X11
Rebooting
Reinstalling i3
None of them had any apparent effect.
Edit:
Upon further investigation, this is a bug in i3: https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/1302#is … t-77648601
Hopefully the fix is coming soon.
Last edited by pharpend (2015-03-09 16:54:04)Same issue here, on 2 different laptops. Things were working fine, and suddenly my mod+123456789 keys to switch workspace won't work anymore (and maybe others that I haven't noticed yet).
Since I have a Fr-pc keyboard, actually those are:
mod+ampersand
mod+eacute
mod+quotedbl
etc...
By chance, mod+cedilla is working and open and switch to Workspace 5 (instead of Worskpace 9 but let's not be picky..) ! thanks god, life was awful with one workspace.
I hope they'll fix this soon. -
I try to download music I purchased and it won't download. It comes up and says "download error. Tap to retry." Every time I retry it does the same thing. Why is my phone doing this??
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
