Never seen such a buggy application...
Are there ANY professionals out there using Premiere Pro within CS5 that are happy with it?
I just switched to this god foresaken program and I can honestly say that I wish I could go back to Liquid or Avid simply for the stability of the programs.
As I read through these forums I have come to realize that life with Premiere is an ongoing, never ending search for fixes to problems that seem to arise from NOWHERE.
I have a completely compliant machine that I spent a lot of money on, as most of you have done. I have followed every installation instruction to a T, and still this software crashes at will, at any given time, and has caused me to miss several deadlines for clients. I'm going back to Liquid (7 years old) until I find something else.
How do you people do it? I can't anymore.
Many years ago, I switeched from AVID Liquid, and have actually never looked back.
Is PrPro perfect? No way, but it is getting better, and better. Does it crash? Actually, I have had two crashes in about 6 years, and at least one of those was pure OE on my part.
Am I a professional? No. I retired in Jan. 2011, but still use the program, and at some fairly high levels.
Now, let's all exhale, step back, and look at things with a freah mind-set.
What are your problems? I know that you are experiencing crashes, but if you could please list your computer's specs. (more is much better), then your Sequence settings, your Assets (Source Footage) and finally, what you are doing, when you get the crashes, we can get started trying to get things sorted out.
Can I promise 100% success? No way, but this is a very good, and helpful forum, and we have a wonderful benefit - we have a strong Adobe presence here.
We will do our best. Actually, Colin (regardless of his kidding) is one of our best, and can help so very much.
Good luck, and please do not give up yet. The "light at the end of the tunnel" is NOT the 4:15PM Express, heading your way.

Why has Apple released such a buggy application as FaceTime?
Just set up my gf's dad's iPad, and his Apple ID was verified. Tried calling him via FaceTime, over the same wifi network (which should NOT be a problem, right?)
No FT calls to or from his iPad would connect, at all.
I have different apple IDs for my Mac Mini, my iPad and my iPhone -- so that I can speak with my Gf when I'm on the road (which is a lot). Well, the iPad can call the iPhone, but not vise-versa; the Mac Mini will make the iPad ring, but no further connection is possible.
I am very disappointed that Apple has released SUCH a crappy product onto the market--- AND they're charging for it on the Mac App store!

ETC> a 1-800 # = good startA 6 year user of Firefox, and all of a sudden you are complaining about the lack of a toll-free telephone support number?
Mozilla has '''''never''''' provided telephone support, and probably never will due to the cost involved.
How would they amortize the cost of that type of operation, while providing a free browser to everyone around the globe who uses it?
If you can figure out a way to do that, I'm sure they would listen to your proposal.

frozen rogue image on macbook air: synced iphone, was asked to download from itunes, to restart, did this. when restarted there was photo of chocolate saying 'love you'. never seen image, it will not delete, the techs at work tried too. No luck.Virus? any ideas?
I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform. -
My phone started acting up and I noticed my text messages were not being sent. So I turned my iphone off. My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a UBS pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. I try to turn it off and on again and same message over and over. If I hit the any button on the phone nothing happens. Does anyone know what this means or seen this itunes messaging ? meltdown? Please help.
Hello Raja,
Thank you so much for your response. I had these photos backed up on iCloud but, had I not, its good to have an alternate solution as the one you suggested. Actually, I went to the Apple store today and yes, you are absolutely correct Restoring in iTunes will result in permanent loss of photos unless backed up somewhere such as iCloud or other solution. Well, what they did was restore the phone in itunes ( I did not have iTunes downloaded to my computer which is why it did not work when I went to do it myself, I needed to go to the iTunes site and go to the download iTunes button because my windows based HP laptop does not come with itunes already downloaded). This retoration process took a while and I was forced to upgrade to the latest 7.1 iOS software which I was not too happy about -sometimes you like the way things work now :-) Anyhow, they said this restoration request happens as a result of a software update (which I was NOT in progress of an update or doing an update) or sometimes when you remove the power cable too quickly from the iphone (which I do not recall doing this either but...). Since I had backed up on iCloud all of the photos were downloaded back on my iphone 4s. Best of all was that my phone was back up and runnning and there was NO CHARGE at the apple store for this service of restoring my phone. Well, I just wanted to share the results and I appreciate all the responses and support I received. Thank you kindly. -
Cannot auto size columns in iTunes 10.4. Columns are all mixed up with headings I have never seen. Cannot change by right clicking on columns. Cannot order albums alphabetically by double clicking on heading.
Very many thanks to you, Putaro! Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

I have installed adobe reader onto my Mac but when I open up an adobe pdf it tells me that i need to accept the end user license agreement, quite, and then open up a new browser but i have never seen the end user license agreement. What should I do in order to accept the end user license agreement even though it never pops up when i install adobe reader?
Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

Kind of a weird response, I usually get not enough experience with current credit limit I don't know of any 'pending' legal action that shows up in credit reports (any reporting agency)? I though only finalized judgements, etc? Also, surely some of this stuff doesn't show up on soft pulls? So my first thought is how does Cap1 know you have anything legal 'pending' unless they're the one's initiating it? That too doesn't make a lot of sense because you would think they would have maybe cancelled the card(s) you do have with them, but I've known them to grant credit even when a person already has a card in collections with them). Do you (or spouse even?) have anything in default with Cap1? There are plenty of ways garnishments can be seen by creditors. See CreditCuriousity's earlier response. Be careful suggesting that CapOne is initiating some type of legal action. They aren't and this is very easily explained by the garnishments.Was a thought put to question, and wasn't my intention to suggest anything about someone else's finances that I'm not familiar with.
I guess the word that has me confused is 'pending'. How can garnishments be 'pending'? Don't legal matters need to be processed before showing up in any reports?
(I'm not familiar with them and asking for that reason, thanks)His garnishments have been processed. 'Pending' can be interpreted many ways. It's pending even though it's also ongoing in the sense that money is going to be taken out of his accounts this week, next, week after, etc until his garnishment is over., -
What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event? I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.
Greetings,
Hm. I've never seen that in iCal. In some other Applications the tilde "~" indicates a restore point or a before / after for a file. My guess is there is a broken cache file in iCal.
Try:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
If that doesn't resolve the issue:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard. You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps. -
A Mac Pro Help Challenge. I've never seen this before!
I am having a problem with a Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Quad-Core with 16 GB RAM 750 GB HD with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500.
The machine has had several problems. Including Illustrator loosing quick keys such as the ability for it to recognize when the SHIFT Key is pressed? Or the ability to quickly change from tool to tool.
It freezes from time to time.
When I shut it down, let the computer power cycle then start it up, I will see the small light on the 23" apple display blink 3 times rapidly then pause then repeat. I can only get the computer back up by pressing the power button for several seconds.
I've come back to the computer to see the RSS Visualizer screen saver blinking. It was strange.
And you really need to see this.
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k142/semilion/Picture2.png
That's a link to a kind of warping effect I get when opening or saving or utilizing any dialog window. I've never seen it occur before.
Can you guys/gals offer any help?
I can't go to apple support. It's my work computer and the IT people here are not Mac Geniuses. I am trying to get some ideas so that I could throw their way.16 GB of RAM sounds great, but who ordered it? IT will usually buy the cheapest memory they can get. Try pulling any non-Apple memory and see if the problems go away. I hear the Mac Pro is pretty sensitive when it comes to memory.

I have os x 10.5.8 and noticed a menu extra that I have never seen before. Is there a way to identify it? I tried to delete it i.e. comm + drag, didn't work.
If you can't CMD+ drag it off, try this...
You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).

Over the last several weeks I have had TERRIBLE service. Dropping calls, can't make calls, etc. Been a verizon customer 10+ years. I've never had such shotty service. WHATS UP!?!?!

We live in a rural area and are still not offered anything better, so we have used dial up internet for several years. Quality has always been just fine, getting connections of 28.8-40k or higher, which is perfectly normal for dial up. However lately we have seen a rapid decline in the quality and speed of connections. While still useable, it has been annoying. This last month however I can only rarely connect at a speed higher than 9.6kbps. Sometimes it is even lower at 7.2k or even 4.8k. I know verizon is only obligated to provide high enough speeds for phone calls, but these low speeds are simply unacceptable for dial up internet use. Many programs wont even connect at all at speeds lower than 14.4k. Atm my dial up account that i'm paying monthly for is basically not useable at all.
How can I actually get verizon to do something about this. I don't want to be given the runaround by someone over the phone telling me they don't have to give use any higher speed connections. This is a complaint about suddenly dropping use to such terrible service compared to what we used to have for several years. Shouldn't this be addressed so that I can actually use my dial up account without so many problems?
I feel like our line has somehow been limited to only connect at these low speeds. Is something like that possible? How can we get verizon to stop doing that and actually connect our calls at decent speeds? I just want a return to the good service we used to receive if they aren't going to bring dsl/fios out here.
Did you try calling oyur ISP to see if it's something on their end? I know when I was on dial up years ago I had to change to a different number once in my area as something was wrong with the one I had always used to dial into AOL, maybe that's it. Mary -
finished, at about 26 chaps, 1) hard-drive went out, 2) visited site & then got "ur virus is infected buy us now" pop-ups (only time in 3 year. of using a mac, and 3) (forget what but an issue. Spent hours on-line, and at store. And finally w/an attorney when I kept being told it was user error. (I"m getting to book isssue I promise) During this time, Harddrive was wiped, external b-up replaced, something about "separated" etc. etc. and even computer replaced w/same issues afterward. Final vrdict 1 yr. later: 1_ we've never seen it 2_ we don't know what it is--not a virus, not harddrive malfunciton, not software issue 3_ we don't know how to fix it. Live w/it w/multiple errors and oddities every time you try to type or start all over. Got an attorney, and took it in again, and miractulously, "he" fixed it. However, in meantime, I wrote many duplicate chapts. when I couldn't find missing, or edited, some, etc.
Everything was writen in Pages, chapt. by chapt. Now I have a 27 chap. book(my first) in pieces--w/many duplicate or slightlychanged chapters all over the computer. I'm trying to reconstruct. Some chaps. I just can't find, some are garbled, some do strange things like left justifying and changing to single space (and can't change back to double, just have to erase and start over, on those old documents. Needless to say I have felt so defeated it's been really hard to get back to the almost finished book for last re-write.
The Questions: 1)I'm trying to find the chapters, and as I find and edit them I need to know how to make this massive achievement work. Should I continue w/chapter by chapt until all are finished? Or start putting them into single document as they are finished? How do I find anything? If I put finished in PDF to send to publisher, even tho it's my PDF, I can't go back and edit my own, except in a duplicate entire document, is that correct?
I cant' find the string to start unraveling this mess. I do have hardcopies made and presented to writing group so need to edit those chapters.
I'm used to paper typewritten copies of everything for manipulation, and I know things now I should have done on the Mac but didn't when I started. (I"m also having trouble getting a Table of Contents to work, which is making it doubly hard to find anything.)
To sum it up, I think, How do I write a book, with chapters (no technical sstuff, only a few footnotes & I may group them at the back of the book.) as far as manipulating documetns/folders, have ready for export, etc. Probably too long a question so go ahead and chew me out. (And I havent' used any other document except Text Edit in years.) I am overwhelmed an book is wasting away.If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

Hey;
I've heard great stuff about flex but I've never seen it for sale. I've read that it is better for real time programs than flash. I don't know if thats true or not. What does flex offer that flash doesn't and how is the flex language better than the flash language? Or am I totally confused and is flex like an addon to flash??? any guidance would be really appreciated. I'm working on something Object oriented that needs to be in real time so I'm looking for the best program that offers that.I'm pretty new at all thsi stuff too, and all these terms killed me for my first few weeks in this arena, but I've got my feet under me now.
Flex is an opensource SDK provided by Adobe (previously Macromedia). It used to be something they sold, but they opensourced it, Hoorah!!
Flash is the set of APIs that start with flash.*, and you can fully create flash animations with just the standard flash APIs.
Flex comes with a ton of very useful components, features, and functionalities that are built on top of flash. You should definitely download and get familiar with flex.
The flex api's start with mx.*
Flex also provides the ability to compile MXML documents into flash. MXML documents make it very easy to build Flash, full with animations, customizations, etc. in an HTML-like format. Take a look at the component explorer link below and you'll see the MXML generated for the example components. You can copy and paste that MXML (simple looking stuff eh?) and get a working app that you can expand on and play with as you learn.
Here are a few helpful links to get you moving in the right direction:
