My latest project
In my humble opinion, computer building is an art, so why not put it here.

Nice job. I would agree with Peru Bob that the angle of Wonder Woman's shadow needs to be adjusted (rotated to the right a few degrees.) I would also shift the shadow more to the left so that it lines up better with her feet.
Also, a basic concept to remember about cast shadows is that they are at their most intense (darkest) nearest the object that is casting the shadow and gradually get lighter and softer the further away it gets from the object. In other words, if you soften the upper part of the shadow, e.g. with a soft eraser set at a low opacity, this will give it a more natural look. For example, look at the gas pump on the right. See how the shadow is darker closest to the pump and gradates to a lighter tone the further away it gets? Your Wonder Woman shadow does just the opposite and gets darker instead of lighter.

I HAVE COMPLETED SEVERAL IMOVIES AND FINALIZED JUST FINE. NOW I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM MY LATEST PROJECT. "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)"! What is going on?
Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Re-launch Mac

IMovie won't upload my latest project
I have uploaded many movies to youtube, even some that are just under an hour. BUT, I am trying to upload my latest "small" project a trailer and it is refusing. I is giving me an error message "Sharing requires more memory to be available - Quit iMovie and relaunch it" Then it only gives me the OK button. I have plenty of memory computer only 6 months old. Anyone have any ideas, really need to get this project up.
Thanks AppleMan, but I have done all that many times......I am really stumbed here. Any other ideas.
Appreciate your help.

My latest project. Critique please.
Here's my first real project in Photoshop, I'd like to know what y'all think of it, and what I need to work more on.I'd like to say thanks to 99jon, his help was great.

Really strange issue. Only on one project.
If i open the file, i can see logic running through the list of instruments, but the only window that opens is the fixed note length Midi transform window. I cant see the arrange window anywhere!
If i khit play on my midi controller keyboard, i can play the project and hear everything as it should be, but just cant see the arrangement.
If i attempt to close the Midi transform window, it wants to close the who project.
Any ideas on what i do!?
ThanksThanks, but i'd already tried that and it didnt work.
I have managed to fix it though, and for anyone else with the same issue, here is what i did:
Find your Logic project file
Right Click on the project, and choose 'Show Contents'
Open the displayed folder 'LgDoc'
Remove the file 'displayState'
open the project, and all should be good! -
Been working for weeks on this new movie project. Almost complete. 1hr 20 min or so. Have had the usual odd bugs now and then but never encountered what happened just a few hours ago. When I try to open my saved project (which is stored on my LaCie 1 TB ext. drive), I see it starts loading, then all of sudden the imovie application icon shuts off and I can't view my project. I've tried re starting both the iMac and the drive but to no avail. Is my project likely "corrupted" ? What are the options. Thanks
I would try the oft applied maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window seclect your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and see if you still have the problem. iMovie will recreate the .plist file that you deleted.

My latest Project Siena App is now in the store
I decided to build yet another Project Siena App the other day when I was semi snowed in.
My NWS-NOAA Weather Prediction Mini Center Windows 8 app lets you quickly view the National Forecast Chart for three days, shows the Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts for up to 7 days, and view Excessive Rainfall Forecasts. It’s available now in the
Windows Store (for USA). You can read more about it (and my love for Project Siena) at
http://digitalmediaphile.com/index.php/2014/02/20/my-weather-prediction-mini-center-app-is-now-available/.
This very simple app went through store certification in record time yesterday. Made my head spin.
Submitted at 1:15pm
Approved at 2:10pm
Available at 2:45pm
All times above Eastern.
Main screen:
Can't wait to see what the next release of Project Siena brings. Hoping for Portrait view CSS support and Windows 8.1 target support.

that's really cool. I like that alot.
After I saw your post about the app, I stopped playing with mine ;-) Maybe
I'll finish it... But since yours works, I didn't see any need <G> as I was not sure how to fix the messy HTML tags in the description. Like I said, MS has an RSS feed that leaves a lot to be desired.

Suggestions would be welcome!
Dear ATR
I am using Première Elements 10 on a Mac Pro
I was trying to burn to DVD-VIDEO widescreen, although I tried all the
options in desperation including folders!
Space required was about 3.7 GB, but instead of filling the space
available, as it didn¹t work, I tried 2.5 GB without success.
I use all Timeline menu markers including red ones to indicate the end
of a movie, as there are several in the project. Scene markers and stop
markers can therefore be close. Where there were red frames around button, I
moved the buttons away from each other as required.
By complicated, I meant that my movies tend to include transitions
throughout movies and stills background music titles - clipart and
dialogue, which I considered might be too much for the system to handle!
Since I posted my query, I have taken a lot of transitions out of the
movie (I usually choose a default transition of ³cross dissolve² between
each video/still in the set-up). This has worked, and subject to re-viewing
the movie, I am hoping that it is the cure and I will reset the defaults
accordingly.
Thanks for you interest in my problem.
Best regards,

Latest dvd project won't play in DVD players...
I have a iMac G5 and iDVD 4. I use FCP to edit. I have made many DVDs from files I make with exporting my sequences to quicktime. Then I import that export into iDVD, and this has always created DVDs that play in my computer and in DVD players.
For some reason, my latest project will only make DVDs that play on my computer using this method, not any of my 3 DVD players. I've checked to make sure I'm still set to NTSC, and I am. What could be causing this? Did I change a setting in FCP that I'm unaware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've wasted a good many blank DVDs from this glitch. Thank you!Haha. I would love the luxury to just stop and not worry about it but unforunately I need to burn the DVD. I do not have another burner, I only have my internal one built into the iMac G5 I have.
Plus if you read through, you'd see that I have successfully burned older DVD projects just fine this week. It's just this latest project that won't burn.
If you have any suggestions related to what I might have changed or what might be different in FCP, that would be helpful. Unfortunately just stopped after 10 bucks worth is not an option. -
Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 project crash, HELP!
This is the first time I am using these forums, so I hope I posted this in the right sektions.
I need help and solutions for a Project which constantly crashes on my Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9. This program has been awesome and helped me create some projects and videos successfully, up until.... well for about 3 days ago when my latest project crashed when I had just antered and checking the storyboard etc, triggering a "Serious Error" message and then it shuts down. I try again and again, but everytime I try to put something (any sound or video etc) on the storyboard and start working etc the same damn "Serious Error" message and then allways shuts down. It's allways this same and only project (which has worked fine before) that crashes like this...
In an attempt to first solve the problem myself I went through the Premiere Elements 9 files and deleted finnished projects and automatic saved process on projects etc, but still won't work even better... The funny thing is that when I open another project (a finnished project I left saved just in case) and go through the storyboard there and messes around a little and such, it won't crash nor trigger the same message as my latest project. And that program even has some effects on every footageclip on it too, but still it works fine. Haven't touched the program or the program until and since yesterday night to give it some rest but it still won't work, the project just keeps crashing like when and since it first started a few days ago.
I have also read through and tried some things from this Help/Troubleshoot page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html
I have so far been doing 1 and 2 of the "Beginning Troubleshooting", otherwise I have been reading it all and such. I am also kinda afraid to do the 3 of the first quests because I worked so hard on this project and even tough it just keeps crushing, I'm afraid to lose it. Other, I have deleted audios and such from my filegallery on my Adobe Premiere Eements, stuff I don't need anymore because its projects are already done. After I did that I also tried to create a new project just for testing. The amazing this about this is that this the new created project I created works just fine, I could do all kinds of the stuff, effects and advanced editing which I did on the same project before it started crushing. Tough I didn't save that test-project since I didn't find a reason to since it worked so good. And so the thing is that I can start and create a new project and start working and do usual stuff on it with no problem, same when I open up another project and do stuff, it all works just fine! It is just this one and only project that keeps crushing with this "Serious Error" message, all the time... Does anybody else have, or has had the same problem? What could the problem and error be and how to fix it?
This crushing project do has some effects on every footageclip/videoclip on it, to set the right mood for the musicvideo I'm making. I am making a musicvideo, and I haven't even done the half of the project/video. The song I am making this musicvideo with is about 00:07:32 in length, and (tough this detail may have no influence or meaning) the music is Symphonic Metal. The actual file of the song is 6,96 MB in size. This is also not the first time I've done such projects with such long songs on this same program either, one of my last videos I managed to successfully make and create a musicvideo with a song which was about 13 minutes and 30 seconds in length, and I also used effects on pretty much every videoclip on that project too.
The current filesize so far on the actual project.prel-file of my project that keeps crushing is 9.73 MB.
I am also using Adobe Premiere Elements and doing this troubleing, crashing project on a PC, a Fujitsu Windows (I believe Windows 7, or even updated to a newer version?). It has a regular ATI-card. The computer also has 2 modems and there's still some pretty GB amount free on them. The PC's main system also has a RAM in 6.00 GB and the operative system is the 64-bites.
In short, the PC should just fine be able to handle Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 and all its projects, just as it has handled it all before plus all my PC games at that. So it must be something with my Adobe Premiere Elements and that specific project which is the problem, but what is the problem and the serious error and how to fix it?
Could it help to save and create the actual video in this crashing project, delete that project then start a new project, upload and put in the videofile of the crashing project in that new project and then continue from there?
In either cases, I need help with this. Please, help!Thanks so much for your reply, Steve!
Even tough I trust you guys enough here on the official Adobe site/forums to answer those questions as best I can, I am at the same time not very fond of giving away too much information because of safety. I understand I have to If I'm to recieve the accurate answers and solution, but as this is the internet you can never know. But again, I trust you guys enough on here and thus I'll try to answer those questions as best I can, even tough I am not very good with such stuff about computers. The PC I am using is also not only mine, it is the family computer also which me and my whole family uses.
The operating system on my computer (according to the computer propotions etc) is a 64-bites operating system and the computer/PC is also a Windows 7 Home Premium.
The processor the computer/PC have is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU and the RAM is 6.00 GB. However, (and I hope I make this understandable because the computer/PC is in swedish)the subscore of RAM in the computer's Performance-Classification/Ranking is 7,5. The processor subscore is 7,3 per second. And the free space? Well, we have two modems, let's say a modem A and a modem B. Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 is set to save all its stuff etc on modem B, while modem A is the main modem and spaces all main stuff and other things of the computer/PC. Modem A has about 314 GB of free space, while modem B has 207 GB of free space. Modem A's capacity is a total of 489 GB in which 175 GB has been used, the modems filesystem is a NTFS. Modem B is also a NTFS filesystem and its capacity is a total of 439 GB in which 232 GB has been used. And the Disk Cleanup? I believe my that latest ran it for about a few weeks ago. We also have a CCleaner also. But about the Disk Defragmenter, I have no idea. What exactly does a Disk Defragmenter do?
You mean, entering my project that keeps crushing and simply rename it by using "Save As"? If that is what you mean, I dunnow If that actually worked. When I still tried to do stuff and edit the crashing project (tough as said, it hardly took any changes and process before it triggered that message) and then crashed and shut down, and I opened up the program again (trying to open the same project that way), it asked me If I wanted to re-create the missing process from the last crash of the same project. I tried it and it automaticly was renamed to a for example Project.copy. But when I tried to work with that it was to no futher success, the project kept crashing. I haven't renamed the project by "Save As" tough, but I doubt it'll work, I even tried to rename the actual project file in the Adobe Premiere Elements files but nope... the project keeps crashing. But also about the same question, "Save As" under a new name but in its own folder? You mean the actual project folder or Adobe Premiere Elements preview folder of the projects?
My camcorder is pretty old by now, have had it since I turned 15, it has worked pretty good since then. Its model is a Sony Handycam, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar OPTICAL 20x. Even tough the last thing maybe doesn't say anything, this is all I know about my camcorder, except that it is a model no. DCR-HC17E PAL. But in that Project which keeps crashing, there are only a few actual camcorder clips used as I am making a Game-MusicVideo and most of the footage of the Video-game (actually a PC game) I'm making a musicvideo of is downloaded from Youtube mostly from a guy I asked permission for to download his recorded footage of the game. I used a Youtube downloader called ClipConverter. As I don't have a SD card I cannot make this footage myself. But some footage I recorded on my camcorder, but If I can find high quality clips and get them, I will. The other footages is actual official trailers of the PC games which also was downloaded from the net. But I can give you the stuffs filetypes and hoping that may help. The downloaded footage which was downloaded by this ClipConverter, are MP4 files. The other stuff (which were official trailers) and most of them are also MP4 files, the others are QuickTime-film files. Many of these downloaded footages and trailers are also in HD quality, at least some of them I think.
The actual filetype ofthe footage I myself recorded with my camcorder are, well.... it says Videoclip in the file. Maybe it is AVI?
The project settings? You mean the settings you set at first when starting as a new project? The general settings are, in editingsettings it is AVCHD 270p square pixel. This is kinda hard for me to tell since everything is in swedish in my program. But these settings has worked perfectly before, same with all files, footages and videoclips I have been using, also all the soundfiles etc. Even the actual crashing project worked perfectly before it started crashing... So why does it so suddenly start crashing now?
The audio is a song I copied directly from its album and CD into the computer/PC and it seems to be in WMA format in filetype.
And lastly, no I haven't rendered the timeline of the project ever, not even on my other projects. What does the rendering do and is useful for? I have very little knowledge of it. Other, I keep the Timeline mode open all the time because I can edit my videos much better with it, but perhaps that editing method make little influence of the actual problem.
Other, yesterday when writing the post and topic, I forgot to mention that I restarded my computer right after I created a new project, that testing project. When finnished with the testing I restarted the computer. Since then I haven't touched the crashing project since now tonight, when checking its settings for this post. I am also right now trying to create and save the actual videofile of it, saving it on my computer. I'll soon see If it's successful without any crashing interruptions, plus that the video itself works and is smooth when I'll play it on Windows Media Player like all the rest of my other videos. I do this just in case I must create a new project to be able to continue with my musicvideo, as the first part of it I worked very hard on.
Other and again, I am still puzzled about why this is even happening, that this project which worked perfectly fine before, just suddenly starts triggering that "Serious Error" message and crashes. And in this program which worked so perfect before. Has this happened to anyone else before? Has anyone else experienced the same issue I have? Is this a knowledgable issue which has solutions and ways to fix it?... :/ -
Opening two projects at same time
I'd like to drag over clips from one project to another project. Anyone know if this is possible with IMOVIE HD v.5.0.2?
thank you.
bethI'm actually in the "transition" from iM5 >> iM6 ...
that copy/paste thing between projects is what I missed most in iM5, and do use excessively with my latest project (two cameras, two perspectives, filming one event... two tracks would be nice, but copy/paste does work in this case, no need to fire-up FCE) -
Project won't open but others will in GB.. HELP PLEASE! MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Hello people:
I think this will be the most difficult task to solve or maybe fix; if even possible..
Ok so basically i was working on my latest project last nite: a 5 min track with all kinds of midi and real instrument channels, effects and AU, VST and automations, mp3 samples and everything u can possibly do in GB.
I called it "My song2", and after an hour GB crashed all of the sudden...
So i restarted the mac and open "My song2" directly from the GB folder and the project will seem to initialize but then instead of saying: "Loading (piano...) ,etc" it doesn't say anything n it just stays there forever or until i force quit...
Strangely enough GB will open other projects tho... So i automatically though that there was a problem with "My song2" only and not GB....
I found out that the projectData.xml file was the problem.. at first it wouldn't open with Textedit because something was wrong... so i changed the .xml file extension to .nfo that by a miracle it could open with NFO viewer..
Now it looks like the <data> content in the projectData file has a bunch of weird symbols in the middle of the entire thing... like "<,>,▀,╫,╡,⌡,╧" and so on..
NOW
here comes the ?!
Can i recover the project by altering the <data> content in the projectData file? or anything to bring that project back to life? maybe a 50% recovery? anything??
=
If you could find a fix for this... you could be the next genius that the world needs nowadays.. i mean it, seriously. This is top grade stuff..
Anyhow
i've tried repairing permission, deleting preferences, creating new projects and pasting the old one with all those weird symbols deleted and NOTHING...
im like 99.99% sure that it's a lost cause n that i need to start all over again
BUT! that 0.01% can mean a world of difference..
Please if anybody out there is willin to find a solution please let me know.. im sure many ppl have had a similar and a frustating case like mine.
God bless you all!!

your help is much appreciate it.

<Edited by Host>That looks like a pretty damaged file! I think I have revived a project in the past by messing with the data file, but maybe I was just lucky. I think I took the <data> part of the file and copied it into another project.data file from a project that worked. But if your data itself is messed up (mine contain only letters and an occasional + or / sign), that might not work for you.
But you know that you can retrieve your raw audio recordings, right? So that's the first thing to do, even though it doesn't give you the midi data, and you have to redo your editing. -
Burn Problem with a 4GB project: "Layer 0 Exceeds"
First off this is not the usual Dual-Layer problem. I know all about Layers how they work and how to make them. Although the error I receive deals with DL my projects or nowhere near that size.
I recently had DVDSP 4 crash on me. Ever since than its been running really funny. The biggest issue I am having is that it won't allow me to burn a DVD 5. My projects usually range from 2.5GB - 4.5GB. Let me also say that DVDSP 4's Disc meter has always been a pretty good gauge as far as I am concerned. It's always been right on telling me if something was going to fit on a DVD 5 or 9.
My problem ever since the crash is that DVDSP will not allow me to burn a DVD unless the project is under 3.5GB. I have tried everything, including a Full Re-install of DVDSP. Every time I try to burn a DVD I get the following error message:
+"Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed. Please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition."+
My latest project is dealing with a 4.4Gb (according to Meter) 4.32GB actually. It is impossible for me to burn a DVD because of the error message above. I can however run the project out on a Single DLT. How does that work?
Has anyone else had a problem like this? Does anyone have an suggestions?
I have checked all the obvious settings in DVDSP and all seem to be right. I can't figure this one out.I've never had a problem burning a 4.4 disc on a DVD 5 until now. I actually went back to some of my previous project that were a DVD-5 and I am unable to burn those now too. Everything really got screwed up on that last Crash.
Yes. I am using AC3 audio.
I have not yet tried burning my DVD project through another program...but thats a good idea.
I usually burn a DVD and DLT for the replicators...but I know they prefer a DLT. What I find odd about all of this is that I am able to run out a DLT with no errors at all. It only seems to be on the DVD side.
In regards to the uninstall...I used the exact program. I am actually in the process of doing a full reinstall of FCP2 Suite.
I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the suggestions.

FCP 5 has problems with how I did projects under FCP 4.
For the most part, I've been very happy with FCP 5, but it's very buggy in a couple of respects that pertain to how I create my projects. Now, I'm getting an error that is preventing me from finishing a project, so I don't have to tell you how critical my issue is, nor do I have to emphasize how quickly I need an answer.
To begin with, I will explain how I did my projects under FCP 4. I would begin by capturing all the raw footage in OfflineRT with my Power Mac G5 dual 2 GHz, then copy the project file and all media files to their respective locations on my 12-inch PowerBook G4, for portability. I would complete the offline edit on the PowerBook, then create an online project file, which I would then transfer back to the Power Mac. I would recapture footage in the new project, everything would fall into place, and all was well.
Since "upgrading" to FCP 5, this method doesn't seem to work anymore. The first sign of a problem was when I created the online project file on my first FCP 5 project. After an attempt to re-capture the footage on the Power Mac, I got an error message that the video was in an incorrect format, or something like that (unfortunately, this was some time ago, so I don't remember the exact phrasing of the error message). I was able to resolve the issue by unchecking the box in the media manager to delete unused media from duplicated items. This forced FCP to create an online file that captured every frame of my original raw footage, not just the parts that were used in the online edit. It took up more space, but at least I could get the project done.
Now, I'm getting more strange behavior, and it's preventing me from completing my latest project, even though I'm following the same steps I did on my previous project. The first thing I noticed this time was when I first tried building the online project file using Media Manager, it took a VERY long time to build the list of used media - something on the order of 15-20 minutes, when before it only took seconds for similar projects. Then, I got the following error message once the new online project had been created:
"Reconnect Media Failed: An unknown error occurred while trying to reconnect C-2 to the new offline file." This error kept occurring multiple times when I clicked continue until I finally checked the box next to it asking to ignore these reporting errors.
C-2 is one of the master clips for my project.
Undaunted, I proceeded to see if moving the new online project file to the Power Mac and re-capturing the footage in NTSC DV would work. Curiously, the Power Mac needed to capture C-2 twice. Although the length of the clip is only 45 minutes or so, FCP needed to capture 90 minutes. Unfortunately, after capturing, I got the same error message as before, but with different phrasing:
"Reconnect Media Failed - An unknown error occurred while trying to reconnect C-2 to the newly captured media. Try recapturing this clip to resolve the problem."
Recapturing the clip doesn't solve the problem. I keep getting the same errror message. Since this clip is one of my master clips, I simply cannot complete the project unless I can capture this clip somehow and have it reattach to the offline files.
The only thing I can think of, since I've been making projects this way since FCP 3 with no issues, is that it has something to do with FCP 5's new multiclip function. I have been using it extensively, and I suspect the error I received the first time was because every clip was linked to others through multiclips, and some shifting of in or out points may have occurred, which broke this link. Forcing FCP to capture all raw footage in its entirety resolved that issue the first time, but not this time.
Would someone PLEASE tell me ASAP how to fix this? How can I complete my project in online, DV-NTSC quality? Is there a possibility I can recapture the files in my offline project in DV quality, perhaps?
How can I prevent this from happening in the future? As I said, this never happened before I upgraded to FCP 5, and if this is the price I have to pay to have multiclip editing, I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe I should get a refund.Finally found the answer myself. My camcorder glitched during the offline capture session, and it didn't recreate the glitch during the online capture, so the frame counts were different.

Problem with rendering my project
Hello,
today I tried to render my latest project in Premiere Pro CS6 to upload it to youtube. With an estimated file size of ~2 Gigabytes I started the rendering process and waited for it to finish (about 50 minutes).
After it had finished with rendering I checked the file and what I saw was a 35 Megabytes file with the worst video quality one can even imagine. What is wrong with my premiere pro -.-
I've put many time and effort in my project and now it doesn't render properly. The interesting thing is that the preview in the full resolution inside my premiere pro application looks way better than the rendering result. WTF!?
Later I tried the option "render workspace" which took just about the same time (about 50 minutes) and brought me 7 rendered video previews... summed up 40 Gigabytes.
I am like kinda mad and sad at the same time and really can't figure out what is wrong. Please help me.
Here are my Output settings:
H.264 codec
1920 * 1080
29,97 FPS
high profile and 5.1
Bitrate: I tried everything from 8 to 100 (output always about ~40 Megabytes)
maximum depth
and maximum render quality
Please mention it if you need more information about this as I will be happy to provide detailed information and excuse my bad english, it isn't my mother tongue.Yeah, but as you could may imagine i watched the render result
I could just go ahead and render it in 240p same result... Its way off in points of quality even compared to the preview on the top right
I mean I am not using premiere pro for the first time and this is the first time that i have to encounter this kind of problem. maybe I should try to render some of my old projects to see if they too result in 45 Mb ****** videos.
Someone help me

Read file from local disk (little bit urgent, thanks)
Hi all. We're facing a problem using a signed applet. We think it's a matter of versions of the java plugin. The fact is that with version 1.4.0 there's no problem on reading a local file from the applet. Not the same can be said when using version 1

Does Apple offer support for iPod?
My son's 8 month old iPod 80 gig classic (I guess) has crashed and burned; the Apple site says the serial number is invalid, and I see nowhere on their site any way to get help. He thinks it's more than just a dead battery. Any ideas? PS I'm in south
