NEWBIE - Help Needed Please!

Hi - I am new to iMovie and have iMovie '08. I need to create a project as follows. I am trying to recreate some movies that when played will look like a Trade Test Transmission with music. Viz:
The movie needs to be a static caption that lasts for about 1 hour
That caption exists as as a .jpg file.
I need to play an hour's worth of music with that caption
I can import the picture and add music but I cannot work out how to make the picture stay on screen for 1 hour - is there a simple way of doing this?
Sorry for such an easy question - iMovie is about the only Apple Software I have never used!

.. The maximum length it will allow me to enter seems to be 60 seconds. ...
oops, you're right!
I'm an old iM user, vers. ≤6 allowed longer durations than 60secs..
the '4 sec increment' is defined in iM's prefs, you'll find there a slider, but it offers 10sec max. ...-
soooo, 60x paste/copy, OR using iMHD6 ...
Plan B)
import your pic into iPhoto; create a slideshow containing just that single pic... set duration to 3600secs.. add music .. export 'movie' ...

    Hello,
    I am attempting to sort an array which is defined in the main method, but the array must be sorted through the use of another method. From my understanding, this is tricky, because as I found out last night, you cannot use another method from within the main method (this kind of makes sense). I think I am pretty close but am getting non-static referrence errors. Here is the actual error and code. Thanks for looking at this.
    error:
    D:\School\IT315\Programs\Inventory.java:64: non-static variable sortItem cannot be referenced from a static context
              sortItem = ("myItem[0].getTotal()" + "myItem[1].getTotal()" + "myItem[2].getTotal()");

    oh yeah. sorry. Two new errors were generated (same
    type). ...Yeah, sorry I didn't look closely enough.
    May I suggest a different approach? This is far from perfect, but is a big improvement of your current code:public class Inventory
        public static void main( String args[] )
            Iteminfo[] myItems = new Iteminfo[3];
            myItems[0] = new Iteminfo( 01, "Laptop", 15, 2000 );
            myItems[1] = new Iteminfo( 02, "Desktop", 25, 1500 );
            myItems[2] = new Iteminfo( 03, "Server", 10, 5000 );
            System.out.println("Inventory Program Part 2\n\n");
            displayItems(myItems);
            System.out.printf( "The total of all inventory is: $%.2f. \n\n", getInvTotal(myItems));
            System.out.printf( "The sorted inventory list is: ");
            sortItemInfo(myItems);
            displayItems(myItems);
        static void displayItems(Iteminfo[] myItems)
            for(int i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++)
                System.out.printf("Item "+(i+1)+": \n\n");
                myItems.displayInfo();
    static double getInvTotal(Iteminfo[] myItems)
    double total = 0.0;
    // Do the same thing with the for-statement here as
    // well, and add everything to the variable total.
    return total;
    static void sortItemInfo(Iteminfo[] myItems)
    // your sort algorithm here
    Try to finish it.
    Good luck.

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

    Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable")  and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
    I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
    If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

  • New Hard drive, can't access certain aspects. Help needed please

    Hi everyone.
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea laptop.
    I've been having problems with the hard drive so got a new one installed.
    My main issues are since getting it back, I can't access any of the original HP installations etc (I've downloaded all the drivers I know about through HP).
    The 2 main things I'm missing are 2 things that came with the laptop.
    1: Beats Audio sound system 
    2: Video Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB DDR5)
    and I have no idea how to get them back. Can anyone help. Do I need to install specific drivers? I can't find any trace that they exist on my laptop now apart from the stickers on the laptop! Any help is greatly appreciated. 
    I never had any CD back ups for the laptop. I do have the old HP back up etc saved on a USB but I don't know enough about the folders and files to know what I need to look for. (I still have the old hardrive.)
    Again, any help is massively appreciated. Thank you!
    Tony 

    If you used your HP Recovery Media, all factory install drivers and software would have been installed. If you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
    If a generic Windows 7 installation disc was used, you will need to install all HP specific driver for your computer. Please try IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver, Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver, and AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver to resolve your missing drivers issues. Windows 7 64-bit driver for your computer can be found on the HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.

    Hi everyone
    Programming help needed here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
    I have been assigned some work for a program called Processing 1.0 availale at http://processing.org/download
    I was give the 9 individual programs I needed to make however they were converted to Java files from .pde files. The program is based on Java but only runs .pde files and NOTHING else!
    I decompiled the files and got the source code, but it is a slight variation of the original someone made in processing, and needs some tidying to get it to run.
    I think the programs are very simple for a programmer, although I AM NOT.

  • MP3 burning help needed please

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me please.
    I'm wanting to burn a mp3 cd but with the songs in separate folders so that when i play them in my car i can flick between the albums instead of having to go through all the singles one after another.
    Does anyone know of a good mp3 burner that can do this, and where to get it from too.
    All and any help in this matter is greatly appreciated
    Cheers
    Paul

    You want them in separate Album folders?
    Put the songs into the playlist.
    Sort the playlist by Album then burn it as MP3* disc.
    This will put the songs into Album folders.
    Likewise, if you sort by Artist, songs will be put into Artist/Album/ folders.
    * Note that only MP3 files will be burned to the disc. If the files are not already MP3 format, they will be skipped.
    If you burn it as a DataCD, it wil work the same except it will copy the files regardless of format. I do this as my CD player will work with both AAC & MP3 formats.

    I am pretty new to Oracle Application Express. I have two problems when I try to create Page with type of "Report and Form". I hope you guys could help me out:
    (1) When I create Pages with the type of "Report and Form", the first column, primary key does not show up in the report page. Why?
    (2) When the table has two primary keys, I have problem when I click the button to go to form page from report page to update the record. It always show error said "Fetch returns more than one rows". How can I tell the application that I have two primary keys?
    Thanks,

    Put in "HTML Expression [Insert column value]" part of field which will be a link:

    where :
    <li>"&APP_ID." is the page in which you want to open and start edit</li>
    <li>"PX_PK1,PX_PK2" are items on that page (probably hidden) tha will represent primary key</li>
    <li>"#PK1#" and "#PK2#" are primary key values on current page (from table grid represent with query "SELECT PK1,PK2,...from MyTable"</li>
    P.S.
    I read somewhere that life with Appex should be much easy when people should use PK base on one coulmn (sequence).
    To ensure PK on those fields create UNIQUE index on those two fields and in table define NOT NULL on those two columns.

    The biggest problem in your code is architectural. You need to learn about a few things like event-driven programming. As but one example you have an administrative operations VI that would be much smaller and much more efficient if it were built around an event structure and not multiple case statements. Your main application uses sequence structures - which are never necessary. As I recall, the last sequence structure I used in deliverable code was in the spring of '88.
    You also are not handling any of errors - which I suspect might be the source of your problem. It's possible that due to an error (which is going unreported) that a connection is being left open when you think it is being closed. But at this point that is just a guess.
    Fix the structural problems and you'll then be able to troubleshoot your DB problem. Shoot, in the process of fixing the structural issues, you may fix the DB!
