My buttons look just awful - what am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to make some simple text buttons that are gray when not selected, and white when selected. I've attached a picture of what this looks like when I try to do this with a DVD Studio Pro button in a "normal" (non-layered) menu (note: I did not pick this heinous color scheme). The top button is "selected," the bottom button is not activated at all.

The gray bleeds through for some reason, and I can't seem to fix this with the grayscale overlay color menu.
Any hints?
Hi,
I'm having the same issue. Here's what I found so far. If I play the DVD on my 10.6 Mac with DVD Player 5.4, I see the same ugly overlays you get.
If I play the DVD on my 10.5 Mac with DVD Player 5.0.3, the overlays look fine.
If I play the DVD on my Sony BD player connected to my TV, the overlays look fine.

I'm trying to update my iPad to ios5, as I want Sky Go on it to watch the cricket, so I've gone thru Settings, General, but there is no update available...what am I doing wrong? Or is this iPad not able to get updates? Thanks
You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
There are some important things that you should know before you update.

The updating instructions are in this article. Make sure you read the part about using iTunes.

'optimized' photos look terrible. What am I doing wrong.
I have a 3GS and have synced with my laptop before (HP pos), I also use the same laptop to sync to my iPad.
Now that I have upgraded my iPhone to iOS4 all my synced pictures are of terrible quality, they look ok on the iPad still and ok on the laptop but the iPhone looks very bad. I know that iTunes 'helpfully' decides that I want to save space and optimizes the images for me, is this a bug or can you adjust this in the settings some where.
Ned.Deselect "sync photos", which will take off all of your pictures during the following sync. Activate the option again and put them back onto your phone, that should solve your problem.

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?
Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.

I just purchased PDF PRO 10. I can't make EDABLE .doc, only "read only". What am I doing wrong?

Hi karenb60536875,
There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.

I just received my ipad2 today, and did all the sync routine. The wifi is working, but I can't seem to access the net. I get an error message stating "Cannot open page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet." What am I doing wrong?
Tap Settings in the Home screen then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart the iPad. Press and hold down the Sleep / Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to the right to power off, then hold down the Sleep / Wake button until you see the Apple logo.
If that didn't help, try the iPad Wi Fi help here. -
I just tried for the first time to convert a pdf to Word. Result was total gibberish, a bunch of meaningless symbols. What am I doing wrong?
You've done nothing wrong. The issue is how the internals (not what you "see") were painted to the PDF page (yes, PDF page content is "painted").
Export of PDF page content is very much a GIGO process.
Goodstuff In = Goodstuff Out
or
Garbage In = Garbage Out
Looks like you have the latter.
Anway - Provided one has a well-formed Tagged PDF (see 14.8 of ISO 32000-1) export is typically rather pleasing.
Tagged PDF has two core design criteria - support Accessible PDF and support repurpose (aks export / save as other) of PDF.
For that well-formed PDF you want an ISO 14289-1 (PDF/UA-1) compliant PDF.
Best is to output the well-formed Tagged PDF from an appropriate authoring application that has robust tag management.
But that's the job of the content author rather than you.
About all you can do is to communicate to the PDF provider that they are delivering flawed "goods".

I sign-in with my Apple ID to update my apps. Asks for my password. Type it in and it just takes me right back to the update screen. What an I doing wrong?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

I purchased creative lightroom presets. I see the zip file in my download file and I try to import to LR but it just keeps creating a bundle never giving me the option to import (greyed out). What am I doing wrong?
Try unzipping the file first. I have no idea regarding your level of technical expertise so advanced apologies if this is really basic. A ZIP file is a compressed file containing one of more files within it. To access the files you will need to expand it. If you double-click on it first, it should open up for you. If it does not automatically expand, you can select the files and copy them to a new folder. The copy will unload them into an uncompressed form. Once they have been uncompressed, you should be able to import them.
If the import is still giving you problems, go to your Preferences, click on the Presets tab and click the Show Presets Folder button. You can then copy your purchased presets into the folder shown. You will want to copy them to the User Presets subfolder. -
What am I doing wrong? Text looks BAD
What am I doing wrong here? Created a Motion opening sequence, and exported to movie with Animation as Compressor. Looks GREAT! Then import it into FCP6, and what ever I try, it looks REALLY BAD! I know it probably has to do with the compression I am using, but not sure what to choose! End result is for a DVD.
In iMovieHD(6), I can Export a video directly to iDVD and all looks great. Not sure if this is the problem I am experiencing in FCP? I can't just move it to iMovie, do to the number of cuts/length/video tracks involved, so any suggestions?
Thanks!Bill,
As was noted in your other thread, video is not simple. If you want simple, stay with iMovie. If you want control, well with great power comes great responsibility. And great responsibility requires continuous study.
DV is one crappy format. It compresses images 5:1 and works in a 4:1:1 color depth. All this means when you go to composite something (.eg text), it will likely look like crud.
One strategy is to increase the color depth in the sequence to 4:2:2. DVCPro50 or ProRes422 DV will do this. These codecs will not improve the original image, but will give a bit more breathing room for color in compositing.
Good luck,

Hi, just bought my daughter an Iphone 4s and I can't get it to let her on youtube, Facebook etc., keeps saying no internet connection. My husband and I have 3G smartphones and we can get on them on ours, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, my other daughter has the same phone and has no trouble getting on these sites either. Any information to help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Well, did you activate this new phone?
