Newbie ~ Need iWeb / movie help ~ PC's having problems

Hello, please bear with me, I am a newbie. I am using iWeb to create a site for family and friends to keep up with my kids.
www.jimcreighton.com
or
web.mac.com/creightonfamily
I have recently tried my hand at a small movie clip. When I go to the site I see it just fine. When I use my sons PC, using IE, I see it fine. However I am getting lots of emails from frustrated grandparents and others that they are either totally unable to see it at all. (A white "box") or they are able to see the screen but when they hit play, they get sound only.
Is this an issue on my end? Or on thier end?
Please remember that I am a total newbie at this, so be kind in your replies! Thanks in advance for any and all help.
G5 iMac, G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Those that get a white "box" and sound are using older versions of QuickTime.
Ask them to download QuickTime Player version 7 from this link:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Once they've installed version 7 they'll be able to see your movie.

  • Can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old  backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one or find it on computer

    Hi can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I
    accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old
    backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one
    or find it on computer

    The following says how to restore from backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

  • Help, we're having problems with Flash Player

    Hi.
    Up until yesterday we had flash player and it was working normally.  Yesterday when we went onto IE8 we didn't have it any longer. Me and my mun tried downloading flash player for Windows XP on Internet Explorer again.  We untick the box saying to add a google toolbar which is optional. We click the download button at the bottom of the page and on the download page a blue box is meant to come up involving ActiveX.  The page comes up with the blue box but then the page goes off and a new page coming up with a cross in a red circle and next to it, it says "Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer" "A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage.  Below this it comes up with a list of options:
    Go to your home page
    Try to return to Adobe.com
    More Information
    We have tried clicking "Try to return to Adobe.com" many times and repeating the same process but the same thing still happens.
    We don't know what to do as without Flash Player there is a limited number of things we can do. We have tried altering some of our settings but still no luck.  We are going round and round in circles.

    Hello, Sorry you are having problems. I would like you to go to this Adobe test site with IE8. Can you see the animation and what version of Flash Player does it say you have?
    If you use any other browser, test with it too.
    Are you the Administrator and are you using that Account? It is necessary when Installing Flash Player.
    After that you can download the Uninstall and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download and SAVE the Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    For now  just put these on your Desktop and then to the test above and let me know.
    Also What Anti-Virus do you have?
    Thanks,

  • Total Newb needs Iweb Storage info

    Hello,
    I currently only have an e-mail account. Not the Full.mac account.
    So before I jump into that, how much space does an Iweb site hold in Maxium Storage space? Can I be a Store and sell things off that site?
    Can I take credit cards?
    I will be displaying images of my Stock art for sale as well as Video tutorials. Can I do this? Does Apple premit this or do I hav eot get some sort of Bueiness account?
    The ads don't go into details like that as far as I found.So, I gotta ask here.
    Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hello, and Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The space that you need depends on how big the site you create is. If you have a lot of images on your website, you can really eat up space.
    Secondly... iWeb does not support creating dynamic pages for taking credit card orders, etc.
    You can however put up video tutorials (as long as you don't want to charge for them, because iWeb does not support the Dynamic pages). This tutorial shows you how to add movies to iWeb: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iweb/1.0/en/bld1124.html.
    Hope this helps,

  • Photoshop Elements 7:  Newbie Needs Drop Shadow Help, Please

    Hello.
    I'm brand new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and need help with the Drop Shadow feature, please.
    I've read the documentation, but it's not crystal clear to me, so maybe someone can guide me through it.
    I want to create text on a blank white canvas, and add a little bit of drop shadow to it. That's all I want to do--plain and simple.
    I can create the text, but I can't for the life of me find any drop shadow options.
    The documentation I'm using is the on-line, web-based help. I type in Drop Shadow in Search, and select Add Text to a Slide.
    The third step says, "In the Properties palette, set any of the following options" and then offers some options, including Drop Shadow and Drop Shadow Color.
    I'll be darned if I can locate the Properties palette. Obviously, I'm not well-versed with Photoshop, so if anyone can just steer me towards this feature, I'll take things from there.
    I know this is probably rock-bottom basic, but I'm stumped. Thank you!
    J. Danniel

    I need a lot more help with this than I thought.
    The problem I'm having is this: After creating the drop shadow effect, when I try to save the image as a transparent GIF, it quite simply.... looks horrible.
    Here is what I'm doing in detail:
    1. New/Blank File.
    2. Blank File is set to transparent. (Is this the right way to make a transparent GIF?)
    3. Creating text.
    4. Cropping text.
    5. Selecting drop shadow effect.
    Now, here's where I get confused. Do I just select File/Save As, or File/Save For Web?
    When I just use File/Save As, and select the GIF format, the drop shadow effect in the final file looks horrible when I embed the image into a web page. The text looks good, and the file is transparent, but the effect is ugly.
    When I try to use Save for Web, there is a Before/After screen. The Before side looks decent; the After screen looks horrible, too.
    So, now I don't know what to do. Can you or anyone guide me through this a bit further, please? Thank you! Jd

  • Newbie needs some simple help on triggers

    Hi there. I need to create a trigger and am very new to this language and would love some help.
    I have tables STUDENT, BOOKS, BORROWING.
    When a student borrows a book, a composite entry is created in the BORROWING table. In the Books table, their is an attribute 'Borrowed' with a Y or N.
    When a new record with the same Title as a book is created in borrowing, the value of 'borrowed' needs to be set to Y. So far I have the following, but forgot that I need to insert a WHERE clause so that it doesnt update every book, but only the book that causes the trigger.
    I am having trouble with this- how would i go about doing this? Any help appreacited...
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_returned_trigger
    AFTER DELETE ON borrowing
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    UPDATE books
    SET
    borrowed= 'N';
    END;

    Hi guys. Am really having some trouble now. Funny thing is I had it working!
    I have the following tables:
    >
    CREATE TABLE STUDENT
         studentID VARCHAR2(8) NOT NULL,
         firstname VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
         lastname VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
         gender VARCHAR2(10),
         dob DATE,
         address VARCHAR2(20),
         suburb VARCHAR2(20),
         phone VARCHAR2(8),
         PRIMARY KEY(studentID)
    CREATE TABLE BOOKS
         title VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
         publisher VARCHAR2(20),
         year DATE,
         borrowed CHAR(1) CHECK (borrowed IN ('Y','N')),
         PRIMARY KEY(title)
    CREATE TABLE BORROWING
         studentID VARCHAR2(8) NOT NULL,
         title VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
         PRIMARY KEY(studentID,title),
         FOREIGN KEY(studentID) REFERENCES student(studentID),
         FOREIGN KEY(title) REFERENCES books(title)
    >
    My Triggers look like this:
    >
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_borrowed_trigger
    AFTER INSERT ON borrowing
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    UPDATE books
    SET
    borrowed= 'Y' WHERE title = :OLD.title;
    END;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_returned_trigger
    AFTER DELETE ON borrowing
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    UPDATE books
    SET
    borrowed= 'N' WHERE title = :OLD.title;
    END;
    >
    and some sample date:
    >
    INSERT INTO student (studentID, firstname,
    lastname, gender, dob, address, suburb, phone)
    VALUES ('34025492','Sally','Field','Female',
    '26/FEB/1970','123 Latrobe Pde','Dromana','59812553');
    INSERT INTO student (studentID, firstname,
    lastname, gender, dob, address, suburb, phone)
    VALUES ('98503345','Ray','Blackburn','Female',
    '9/NOV/1954','52 Murawa Dve','Sorrento','59812433');
    INSERT INTO books (title, publisher, year, borrowed)
    VALUES ('Harry Potter','Roundhouse','1998','N');
    INSERT INTO books (title, publisher, year, borrowed)
    VALUES ('Twilight','Jones Books','2000','N');
    INSERT INTO borrowing (studentID, title)
    VALUES ('20737785','Harry Potter');
    >
    Now I cant get this trigger to change the value of the 'borrowed' column in 'BOOKS' to Y when I create a new record in the BORROWING table that references one of the Books.
    Any idea why? I cant see why! Thanks for the help so far guys

  • Newbie needs scroll bar help

    Hello anyone,
    I am fairly new to flash, I am using the MX version. I am
    having trouble getting my scroll bars to load with the page load?
    The bar shows up, but it does not give the option to scroll. If I
    click off the page and return to it then the slider is there and it
    works, but not on initial load. I have tried to set the action
    script run on load but this has not worked. I am a little confused
    and any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Also as an aside issue, can you load images into a text
    box?

    am I on the right board for this type of question? I am not
    very knowledgable in action scripts, but I have been trough the
    tutorials and I bought the action scripts for dummies book, however
    I have done everything that they say to do and still can't get the
    bars to work right.
    any help or redirection for help somewhere else would be
    greatly appriciated.

  • Verizon DSL Newbie needs Home Networking Help

    I am a brand new Verizon DSL user (on my i-MAC G3 OS Panther) and I would love to be able to access the same DSL connection with my i-Book G4 (also OS Panther with an Airport Extreme card built in).
    I tried looking this up on Verizon's website and quickly became totally confused. Verizon seems to think MAC users are second class citizens.
    Would someone be willing to tell me exactly how to do this? Do I need a router? Do I need an Airport Base Station?
    Thanks much, and please forgive my ignorance.

    I have a verizon westell dsl wireless router which is working fine when the 3 macs (1 g3 powermac, 2 ibook g4's - all panther) on the network are hard wired.. but when you try to connect wirelessly, the ip address found in the TCPIP DHCP is a 169 address.. not 192.. and even though it seems to see the router.. you cannot connect to the internet. Anyone have a clue... I've tried manually typing in a 192 addy in the range which for a moment fools Airport and it states in Network Status that is's connected to the internet.. but it's not... I've also done the old un plug the router. restart the mac.. turn airport on and off drill and again.. nothing...I'm stumped... At one time we were able to connect wirelessly to this router.. but now no...HELP PLEASE!

  • Newbie needs InDesign CS5 help: text overflow into new page

    Hello...  so, I've been using InDesign CS5 to create a document, because it transfers nicely into the pdf format.  I had written most of the stuff a couple months ago, am transferring it to InDesign via copy and paste, and then have to go in an "re-do" the bolds and italics and hyper links etc, b/c it does not transfer those things to InDesign.  I can live with that.  However, with this 10+ page document, how can I copy all my text and paste it onto 10 pages+ of InDesign, rather than piece-by-piece on a page-by-page basis?
    As of now, I have to take the first page of my original, and then copy and paste and estimate, add and subtract until the sizing is right...  and then I have to do that with page 2...  and page 3... and page 4.. and... well, you get the idea.  More than 10 pages of this!  Now, the straw breaking this camel's back is the fact that I have to go in and do a revision in one part...  so that I have to move and shift part of page 2 to page 3, and page 3 to page 4, and page 4 to page 5, and...   ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! 
    Is there ANY way to get text to simply overflow from one page to the next?  When you try to drag a text box down to the next page you've added, it stops at the bottom of the page and will not let you flow into the next page.  I am not particularly tech savvy and don't know coding or html or etc.  I am looking for a way to allow text to flow from one page to the next as if you were writing a Word doc.
    I have 80 more pages and 7 more documents to do this with.  Please help!  I want to cry at the thought of dealing with this in every single 8 to 12 page document I'm recreating. 

    All is not lost for autoflow even using copy paste. Here's a nifty little trick that will help you:
    ID does not require a text frame before you paste, so if you don't start with one, or don't use the one you've already drawn, ID will conveniently draw a 2" square text frame in the center of the screen if you issue a paste command. This frame will contain all of the copied text, but most of it will be overset (you'll see a red plus sign inthe "out port" on the lower right of the frame).
    Overset text can be picked up and flowed using autoflow, just as if you were placing a text file, so use the selection tool (black arrow) to select that small text frame if it isn't already selected, then click the red plus sign to pick up the overset. You should now have a loaded text cursor that looks sort of like the upper left corner of a page. DON'T click it anywhere yet.
    First press backspace to delete the small text frame (which should have remained selected). Now you can start your auto-flow holding the Shift key and clicking your loaded cursor wherever you like. All of the text, including what was visible in the now deleted frame is in the cursor waiting for you.

  • ITune Newbie needs Log-in Help

    I just purchased a iPod Classic last week and should receive it tomorrow. In the process I created an Apple account.
    I want to purchase a few songs before the iPod arrives but the iTunes account does not reconize my password. I have reset it three times but still can not get into iTunes.
    Do I have to create another different account for iTunes?
    Thanks for your help,
    Doug

    Wish I had been so lucky. I have now been in e mail discussion with the iTunes support centre for a fortnight with what sounds like the same initial problem.
    I have a fully functioning Apple Id which i can use successfully in the Apple store, but this is not recognised by the iTunes store. Unfortunately I am not getting the follow on message allowing me to create the iTunes account under my Apple ID.
    Has any one else had this problem? If so, please let me know how to resolve it as I have had no luck with iTunes support to date.
    Thanks

  • Help, I am having problems syncing songs from itunes to my ipod.

    I am having great difficulty in trying to sync purchased songs from itunes music store to my ipod.
    I have just registered my ipod to my home computer after having it originally registered on a friends computer. Now on my own computer I have purchased 14 songs and have tried to sync them onto my ipod. However it keeps coming up with a message that my computer is not authorized to play them. Therefore its not copying onto my ipod.
    Any solutions/help would be greatly recieved, thanks.

    I'll wager that you have a second account that you forgot about. Fire up iTunes but do not log on to your account. Try to play one of the problem songs. A popup window will appear asking you to authorize your computer for that account.

  • Help I am having problems with installing itunes on windows 7 64bit

    I keep installing Itues but for some reason it will not sinc with my Ipad or iphone.  Each time i do get it installed it tells me to delete and start over.
    Help? with installing itunes on to windows 7 64 bit computer that will work with iphone and ipad...
    thanks kevin

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • This may help who's Having problems with wifi Net...

    The epic story First; Then the happy ending at the end of the tribulation?
    I have recently upgrade to BtInfinity Option2 and had already a hh3 wich the BT engineer sayd was just fine for the job; I had a exellent speeds of about 75 Mbps up and 20Mbs down aon cabled connection and 35-45 Mbps up and abut 11 Mbps on Wireless connection to the HH3 also my Home Network was working without faults! But this lasted only for about 2-3 weeks!
    The HH3 started to go crazy it would reset and restart by it own accord quite often speed dropped to only about 13 up and 1 Mbps down on wireless altough the cable connection was consistent in reaching the same good results as before Home Network was not a problem ever! Phoned BT Customer Service they made me made what they call a " Power cycle" of the sboxes on the wall, HH3, PC reboot etc.. all on the phone and all the procedure took ages!   This did Not solve the problem, as a matter of fact at times was getting even lesser speeds on wireless and the HH3 was still going crazy resetting and restarting on its own; Home Network and cable was fine all the time, So I went to another call to BT and got the same results and procedure to go trough "Power Cycle";  the wireless speed and HH3 problem was never resolved!  The BT people told me that after all I was getting what should be expected that my cable connection was fine and that probably the fault was on the wify Lan card on my Pc. but it was the same with my other pc and laptop connection!
    So I thought that the problem was on The HH3 and decided to order and buy a HH4 and the Broadcom USB dongle to connect with it! BT Never offered me to exchange the Modem for free as I think I was entitled even because the installation date came on the dates they offer a Free HH4 for Upgrading to BTInfinity.
    Got the new HH4 and USB dongle delivered, got them installed and powered up as per instructions, and BINGO!!!
    Tested and now getting same speeds either by cable or wireless trough the Broadcom USB dongle!! 75 Mbps Down and about 19-20 Mbps Up!!! Hurray!!
    But after that discovered and noticed other problems: The Home Network was no Longer working!
    I went trough all the setting in the Networking Sharing Settings and every thing was alrigth just the same settings as always and before..the only thing different was that my PC was not Broadcasting on the Home Network, Invisible to all my other devices!
    Went to check the wireless settings on my PC and noticed that my old connection trough the Network with my PC Wify card was still there even if not conected, I decided to connect that instead of the Dongle provided and bougth for The HH4 and presto My Home Network appeared again, so as last test went to test wireless speeds and was still better than with the HH3; About 20 Mbs Down and 11 Mps Up good, but not as fast as with Broadcom USB dongle!
    At this point I plugged the Dongle again and noticed that both the Pc Wify card and the Dongle were broadcasting to the same HH4  at the same time another decided to connect both to see if they connected, and they did!!
    Guess what: Now I got the Maximum Speed of 75-76 Down the Home Network working just fine!
    Hope Is going to stay like this for at least 2 years now! BT Infinity looks Great now!
    PS:
    Another little issue: with use the Dongle gets very hot, and when is too hot the speed drops dramaticcaly to about alf the speed, but if you let it cool down for a minute is going to function just fine again, at the same time I never loose connection because still got the PC Wifi card to connect when I want or need anyway!

    I finally got my DCR-HC21 to work a few weeks ago by
    unplugging all of the cables connected to my iMac G5,
    waiting 4 minutes and then plugging everything back
    in. It worked perfectly right after that.
    Hello Brian,
    I'm about to purchase a DCR-HC21 and wondered if its still working with your iMac G5 after you did your plug-unplug workaround?
    TIA for any feedback!
