Need help dealing with permission bugs in 10.6 during migration of old user

hi
i just erased, formatted and re installed 10.6 on my computer for the 4th time.
I have been trying to migrate my old user account to avoid re installing tons of applications, i successfully did this before but it seems my user account may have some issues, no matter what way i try to copy documents and preferences, after i do for some reason i can not change a single thing in the preferences, it allows me to select anything i want, make my choices but does NOTHING, for example i change the desktop picture, NOTHING, i restart firefox, the same tabs re appear, nothing i last used will appear,
i ran disk utilities both from within the user account and from the dvd re starting and all still fails, i would like to know if there is a way around all these permission issues, i need to use the same old user becuase i have tons of passwords saved for silly graphics sites etc and it would help me save allot of time just migrating all those keychains as well rather then going through a hoop one by one through many to fix them.
I use CCC to clone, migration assistant to migrate, Disk utilities to repair permissions and HDs., if anyone here knows better which way to re install and use old user keychains and prefs again with a fresh set up do advise me
cheers

OK. Not the way I'd do things, but then again, I don't deal with mobile devices. Seems simpler to me to keep both accounts exactly the same. Never had an issue with accounts or permissions.
what do you mean by exactly the same, 2 accounts with the same name and files on one computer?
sorry if i missed something here,
i also wanted to mention that i found a issue with a folder in my libray app support called RAYNER that contains a file called NETSHADE3. i tried a demo by them last year but thought i un installed everything after it expired,
During my recent *carbon copy clone* experience i tried to clone using their *incremental method*, and now notice that nothing i bootable on my clone if the RAYNER NETSHADE folder is removed.
i wish i knew how to post a screenshot here

Need help dealing with nested audio in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2

Hi, so previously I have been working with nested multicam video and nested audio together (one video track, and one audio track).
However, I am hitting some issues with the nested audio workflow, and am hoping someone could help me iron out my issues.
1. Once I've completed my edit, how do I efficiently flatten my nested edits so I have all of my original audio back? (For mixing purposes)
2. Audio nesting sometimes seems glitchy. When making new nests, sometimes I will only get the topmost audio track in my nest, and I'm not sure what's causing that to happen.
I REALLY need helping getting my workflow together, as it's at a bit of a stand still right now. I think I'm going to switch to unnested audio to avoid issues, but still need to flatten my existing edits to do that as well.
Many thanks!

This bug is NOT FULLY FIXED. I'm on a tight deadline so i'm not looking very hard online to see if i'm alone - so please forgive me for just posting here...
I'm using CC7.2.1 it's 1/21... very grateful that match frame FINALLY works on merged clips, but, again, this insert/overwrite bug is only PARTIALLY FIXED.
Insert/overwrite with merged clips on 3-point edit now works, but ONLY when cutting in BOTH merged video+audio... if you're just trying to cut in the audio from a merged clip using a 3-point/4-point edit via hotkey, it's a no-go.
I, for example, needed to re-cut in audio under some video with effects on it. So, I unpatched the video source completely and patched source audio tracks 1-4 to the appropriate sequence tracks. Upon hitting insert or overwrite multiple times, nothing responds. The only way to cut anything in from the source (merged clip) was to patch the source video back into the timeline on an unused video track, then cut ALL the tracks from the source in, I then had to delete the video track re-link the now free audio to the original video. Not a big deal, but annoying enough & waste of precious time on tight deadline.
So, yeah, I have a workaround but is still not appropriate to have a core function not work properly. Especially when I'm working with a very complicated timeline.
That said, thanks for keeping on top of our gripes, Mark.

Need help dealing with media

I use aperture to store all of my clips (HD from DSLR and iphone clips) we do a daily video on our site (noahsdad.com) and so every day I have to import into aperture, find my clips, export to desktop, import to fcpx. Not only does this seem like a huge hassle, but I end up duplicating a ton of videos which is not only killing my hard drive space, it just seems like a ton of extra space.
Is there an easier and more effective way to do what I want to do? I want to use aperture to store and manage my video clips so I can search and and organize them, but I want to use fcpx to make my project. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

Is there a reason you do not want to use Final Cut Pro X events to store and manage your clips? They basically work like folders and each import from your device lets you either choose the event the clip will be placed in or you can create a new event. They also can be placed on multiple drives as volumes and be accessible from within FCP X at any time. Then they can be scanned quickly right there in the event browser to see if there is content in a clip that you are looking for. Having found a clip or section of the clip you like, you can mark either that whole clip or individual sections of it as a favorite and also assign keywords to find them later with searches. I also like Aperture, but as you stated, it can take a lot of space to duplicate the functions between these applications. Best wishes.

They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
Let them know that you would like this:

Not sure this is a very useful thing. It would run down the battery. All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked.

Need help urgently with OS X and Windows 7

I need help urgently.
I installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro with OS X Lion. After installing Windows7, I accidently converted the basic volumes to dynamic volumes and now i can't even boot to OS X.
Please help me how to recover my OS X Lion. If I have to delete Windows and bootcamp partitions, it is OK.
I just want to get back my OS X bootable.
Thanks

I can't even see the OS X partition when I hold down the "Option" key.
I could see OS X and Windows partitions if I hold down Option key before changing the partitions to Dynamic partitions from Basic in Windows 7.
Now can't see OS X partiton and only see Winodws partition but when I tried to boot onto Windows7 , I got BSOD and macbook pro restart.
Please help
The usual reason for the OSX partition to be invisible under these circumstances is that it has been trashed by Windows.
Do you have a backup?

Need Help/Advice with Photo Web Gallery coming from SQL Database

This is my first attempt at a database driven website. I assume what I am trying to accomplish should be fairly easy for more experienced but I am stuck at this point.
First, let me explain what I am trying to accomplish.
I want to create a thumbnail photo gallery displayed in columns and rows. I want to be able to hover over or click on the thumbnail image and have a lightbox script display the image over the thumb page. I am developing locally right now with intent to upload to the hosting site upon completion.
I am developing with ASP vbScript pages. I have an SQL database where the paths to the image thumbnails and pictures are stored in a table. On the gallery page, I have created a div tag to hold my image recordset. Within this div, I have inserted 3 absolute positioned divs to hold the pictureID, the pictureName and the image inserted as a datasource. I then inserted the information from the bindings panel of my recordset. Last, I used a horizontal looper extension from Tom Muck to get the thumbnails to display in columns and rows. Everything works up to this point just fine.
Now, I want to be able to hover or click on a thumnail image and have it displayed in a lightbox. I downloaded and used a javascript called Lightbox 2 which contains 3 javascript files and a css stylesheet. I inserted the files into the head tag like instructed to but could not get things to work properly. Here is where I need help. Currently, I am clicking on the thumbImage binding within the image Div and creating a link holder. I am then binding the larger pictureImage to it with the a.href selected in the bind to. I am then adding the command to call the lightbox javascript. Now, when I test my page, my thumbnail images do not show up (my alt text does in its place) but the links are in place and you can click on the alt text and it will return the correct larger image, but not in the lightbox, just in a new window with no styles.
Am I going about this correctly? Can you use lightbox scripts with data-driven galleries? Does anybody have any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong or missing? Are there better ways to go about accomplishing this?
Any help would be appreciated as this dynamic data thing has my head spinning. Although I know a database is needed to simplify the update and maintenance of the photos while allowing them to be searchable by keywords and tags also set up in the database.
Thanks

As I explained, I am developing locally a the moment. I will see about getting the databased moved up to the hosting server and then provide a link for an example.
In the mean time, can you or anyone else explain a way that you would go about displaying an image thumbnail photo gallery laid out in rows / columns, with any lighbox script that would overlay the larger image over the existing page instead of opening a new browser window?
I don't have to use the method I tried to describe.
In all of the lightbox examples I have looked at thus far, they give instructions on how to append that javascript to a single static image or a group of static images, not images from a datasource. That is where I am getting confused.
Don't know if this will help or not but please see code below:
Javascript and CSS positioned in head tag

<link href="CSS/lightbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="Scripts/protype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Need help ASAP with photoshop elements 11

Please I need help its photoshop elements 11 but I can't put up the pic I need help with could someone help me out by using Facebook, Amanda Jayne Clarke I have a pic of a little girl n a horse
Please i need help ASAP

well you can find many tutorials about how to change background in Photoshop Elements. It ranges all the way from using magic extractor to making a selection using lasso and magnetic lasso tools. But I really prefer using a mask for it. Here is how I would change the background of image A and use Image B as the background.
Open image B in photoshop elements editor- expert mode.
go to file->place and choose the image A to place over image B
go to layers panel by choosing Window-> layers from menu bar. Right click the layer A choose simplify layer.
with layer A selected, choose layer>layer mask> reveal All from menu bar. It would create a layer mask on the layer A.
Select the mark layer of layer A, choose the brush tool and change foreground color to black. Paint all over the are you want to remove from the layer A. if you make an error, change the color white to get your image area back. it is a good practice to use lower opacity(~60) while using layer mark as it gives you more control over with how much opacity you want to remove the background
Happy Editing

Need Help Please with Ipod 20G

Long story short....I had my Ipod 4G and computer stolen several month ago on a business trip(have police report). A friend of mine recently purchased a new Video Ipod and gave me his old 20G...pretty nice of him! I am about to have iTunes loaded on to my new computer. Here are my questions I need help with please.
1. Will I need to setup a new iTunes account or can I use my old one?
2. Will I have to reset my newly acquired Ipod before I can place my music on it? I did back up about 80% of the songs from my old Ipod. Or will I be able to keep the 1500 songs my friend placed on it?
3. Or would it be easier for me to give him back his, cough up the $300 dollars for a new one and start all over?
Can't think of anything else I might need to know. If there is something I am missing and you could help fill in the blanks for me I would truly appreciate the help.
Thanks so much!!
20G Windows 2000
20G Windows 2000

1. No. You can use your old one.
2. Will I have to reset my newly acquired Ipod before I can place my music on it? No, but iTunes may automatically do this, I will explain.
I did back up about 80% of the songs from my old Ipod. Or will I be able to keep the 1500 songs my friend placed on it?
Sorry, but it would not be legal to keep the 1500 songs on this iPod that were your friend's songs, assuming that he's still using/listening to them on another computer.
3. No, I think it would be worth it to keep going, and use the 20GB iPod on your computer. It's not many hoops to jump through, and you should be up and syncing in no time.
Overall, it's fairly easy, and I would suggest that you keep going with this iPod.
My note from question #2:
If you connect an iPod that hasn't been attatched to your computer before, iTunes will most likely display [to the effect of] this message when you connect the iPod for the first time:
"The songs on the iPod "~~" are linked to another iTunes library. Would you like to replace the content of the iPod with this current iTunes library?"
Be sure to click on "NO" when you recieve this message.
Then, click on your iPod's name in the left panel of iTunes.
Click on the "Music" tab.
Deselect "Sync Music" if it is already set to this option.
This means that your iPod is on manual managing now, instead of iTunes automatically transferring songs to your iPod, or deleting them, which is not what you want at this time.
Now, if you have any songs on the iPod that you need to keep (i.e., if you have some of your songs on this iPod)you have a few options to transfer your iPod songs to your computer.
Method 1 - Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes using MacMuse's post. See it here -> iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)
Method 2 - Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). Read this post here -> Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes
Method 3 - Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod
I hope that info helps you.

I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot

Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...

I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.

Need help please with ipod mini

Hi,I had my ipod mini sent into service as the pasue button was bust and I now have a totally new ipod mini send out and Im trying to install it on the pC and it doesnt let me,need help pls

You may need to format the iPod for use with Windows.
Try this instead of using the supplied installation CD.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then follow the set up procedure.
If this is what you are having problems with, then post back with what happens and any error messages you see.

Help dealing with Firewall, and URL Services

All,
We have recently installed the PDK URL Services for Portal to help

Need help fast with a buying decision - Leadtek 6800 GT

Hi there, I have the opportunity to swap my Club 3D 6800 GT for a Leadtek 6800 GT. The reasons I would do this would be the cooling and the games bundle.
I just wanted to know if anyone knows how the cooling is on this particular card and if it would be better than the reference design?
My other concern is that it has a huge copper heatsink on the back of the card, this would sit directly under the CPU HSF. There really would only be a few millimeters between them and due to the position of the socket on this board, the heat sink fins go up vertically. Would the heat from the card's copper heat sink rise up into the CPU HSF grooves and raise the temperature of the CPU?
Thanks for any help
I kind of need help fast as someone said they were gonna buy my other card of ebay today, there's still time to stop them if this is gonna be a bad idea

i would definately take the leadtek one over the club3d card, the cards themselves are all based on refrence designs just different cooling solutions and bundles
and the cooler on the leadtek is a lot better, and it isnt more noisy then the club3d one at all
it has better cooling, and they seem to be the ones which are the most available, and they overclock very well due to the better cooling
