No Problems @ all

Hi there,
I know this could sound strange for the philosophy of the Forums, but I felt I should post this because most of the times, when I access these Forums is mainly because I have a problem.
Sure this is how the Forums were conceived and that's all about them, but everytime I surf these pages I think about someone else who would be thinking about switching to Mac and that they would be overwhelmed by the number of problems and issues here exposed.
So, this is my experience with Snow Leopard: Absolutely no problems @ all.
I installed it on my MBP, which is an A1211 model (2.16GHz Intel C2D-2GB RAM) built in March 2007 that originally came with Tiger.
The new Cat acted like a puppy: The installation process (over Leopard) took about 45 minutes (including a re-boot about halfway of the process) with absolutely no inconvenients whatsoever.
The machine is now very fast surfing the net, shutting down and opening apps like Photoshop and Flash.
I'm more than satisfied with this upgrade, and those were the best 29 Euros I have ever spent on an Apple product.
I encourage everyone who is thinking Macs are lemons judging by the many cases exposed here, to try one for themselves, and though mine could sound like a lonely voice in the desert, I dare to say: Macs rule!
Enjoy every Apple.

Congrats on smooth sailing. I have to say that besides one tiny glitchy that happened once, everything has run perfect for me too. The biggest thing I notice is increased battery life and the laptop runs much cooler in general. Things that used to get my laptop pretty much on fire are taking up significantly less resources. Lightroom and Photoshop seems to run better too.
I couldn't be happier with the switch. It is a much happier system now.

    Hi John,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that you have installed ad aware and a spybot two weeks ago and the advertisements on hulu will not play. I also understand that when you download that the last 1% will not finish.
    In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
    # In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
    # Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
    # Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in scanWhenDone. You should now find the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone preference.
    # Double-click on that preference to set the value to false.
    # Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.
    Please reply and tell us whether this helped you!

  • HD Capture problem all of a sudden

    Hi all,
    Very strange thing happening when I try to capture from our usual JH3 HDCAM machine into PPro CS5.5.0 (via blackmagic card- specs below in sig)...
    via HD-SDI port I am seeing video and via remote I can control the deck and log clips, etc. But when I go to either batch capture from project panel, or capture direct from capt panel it is going through the motions and says 'Capturing...etc' however the recording counter and GB writing to disk info doesn't move - stays on 00:00:00:00. Nothing writes to disk. The tape will just carry on playing to the end unless I hit ESC to abort.
    Log report just says failed - abort (because I hit ESC) and no resulting file is written to disk. No dropped frames, just nothing!?? I am capturing HD 1080 50i uncompressed 10bit. Also tried JPEG/DVCPROHD but nothing.
    HOWEVER - Bizarrely, if I switch output on machine to SD-SDI and then change capt settings in PPro to SD PAL 16:9 it works. Also if connecting our digibeta machine capturing standard SD it is fine.
    I've not updated OS, PPro or BMD drivers and prefs are same as always been. I'm not keen on updating to 5.5.2 in middle of a project incase it throws up conflicts with other s/w & drivers - unless there is a known fix for this I've not found?
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance! nightmare!!
    Cheers,
    Jim.
    Production Premium CS5.5 - Mocha v1.5

    Decklink Extreme+ 3D / 3TB RAID-0 local / 6TB XServe + United Digital RAID on 10GbE

    Yes, I tried that route...seems it's not a hardware/driver problem. HD capture works via Blackmagic's Media Express, but unfortunately using that is not an option for logging/digitising this project.
    It's a weird one - like I said, it all worked fine a few weeks ago with the exact same kit/configs and nothing has been installed/updated since.
    Do any Adobe engineers read these forums, or do I need to submit a bug report? Last time I did that it took months to get anywhere! :-(

  • Suddenly, non of all my projects are starting when opening my Premier Pro 6.0. What is the problem, all of a sudden?...

    HI!
    Please help me! I'm a kind of desperate since my Premiere Pro suddenly doesn't seen to want to open all my files I'm working on. A message appears instead: "This project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or containing outdated elements." I don't know what the problem is and what to do. Please help me!... Everything worked just fine less than a week ago!
    I'm looking forward for your message!

  • Lion Address Book problem - all of over 2,000 contacts disappeared - one mysteriously reappeared - then they all reappeared during resync with Gmail!

    The subject iine pretty much describes what happened.
    I am wondering if it is anything to do with what looks like an odd file in the directory ~ Library -> Application Support -> Address Book
    As well as the "real" database file there is this zero bytes one:
    AddressBook-v22.abcddb.0F392545-78F2-4AE6-8D30-457C138332B2.unknown
    From the date, it might be something to do with installing and linking Cobook to Address Book maybe?
    These are the files and folders in that directory (sub-directory files not shown):
    I have enabled the debug menu in Address Book but have not been able to find any info about how to use it.  I lie!  I did read that I might possibly have been able to "retrieve" the contacts using the debug menu "Force Refresh" - however that was after I had started to resync with Gmail contacts.
    I realised that something odd was going on during resync when I saw that there were over 4,000 contacts being processed rather than the 2,000 or so that I was expecting.  Initially, none of the contacts groups from Gmail were showing in Address Book after this partial sync (I stopped it when I saw what was happening).  However, after quitting and restarting Address Book, the groups appeared again.
    I have not lost my contact data - as well as Gmail contacts I also have an Address Book backup from about two weeks ago and also the backup created by Cobook about two weeks ago.  (Installed Cobook as it looked like a very efficient way of getting to view individual contacts quickly - Quicksilver just isn't finding them at all).  I used third party app "Contacts Sync for Google Gmail" to link Address Book with Gmail as it gives you options about what to do for each duplicate card that it identifies.
    I then spent a lot of time sorting through the contacts on Address Book, finding duplicates, updating data, etc. with the intention of managing contacts in Address Book from then on, rather than in Gmail. Not all of these changes are reflected in the Cobook backup or Gmail.
    My worry is, with Lion being such a god-awful Pig's Ear in so many more ways than this, that this Address Book mess might happen again.
    I seem to have spent most of my time over the last month wrestling with the numerous problems that keep cropping up with Lion and getting little to show for it. 
    WARNING! FOOT-STAMPING WHINGE ABOUT LION - LOOK AWAY AND DOWN TO THE HOWLING FACES - IT WON'T BE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE:
    I gave up on OSX when I tried Panther - that was dreadful - but was lured back by Tiger, have used Leopard very comfortably for about 5 years, had a very happy couple of months with Snow Leopard and now - this mess that is Lion!  I have repaired OSX install permissions and "home user" permissions time and again, TinkerTooled it until I am blue in the face and it seems that every few days I manage to fix something and then almost immediately something else screws up. I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion on this machine and am seriously considering installing or running Linux as these problems with Lion are just never-ending - and then there are all the other stupid changes that have subsequently been sensibly reverted, mitigated or worked around in ML).
    I have never bothered much with Address Book or Mail in the past as I have found them too limited.   I have used either the Gmail web interface or Thunderbird.  However, Gmail has started crashing my favourite browsers (Seamonkey and Firefox), Thunderbird has got just a bit too complicated and I cannot get Quicksilver to play ball with Gmail.  The Lion version of Address Book is better than Gmail Contacts and Mail Smart Folders can emulate Gmail filters and labels - a huge improvement.  So, just when these apps look good enough to be worth bothering with, they come part and parcel with what I have seen mocked, and rightly, as "Apple Vista"!
    Sorry for that  but I am about at the end of my tether with it all ;-/
    I would be very grateful if anyone can offer any advice about:
    1) That strange looking zero bytes file in the Address Book folder.
    2) Whether the Address Book debug menu options might be of any help in this situation?
    There seem to be lots of people having problems with Address Book in both Lion and Mountain Lion, if not exactly this issue, so maybe the answers will help others too.
    Fingers crossed!
    Ms Mousette
    ps. In the product list to tick for this question they are grouped so I cannot specify that this is actually nothing to do with the iPhone.  I have got a load of contacts on my iPhone too but I am not going to sync them until I have got this issue sorted out.

    Could this font be the cause of the problem?
    Possibly, since that font is not the one that Address Book uses and there is no method to specify or change the font used by Address Book. You could have recovered your Address Book contacts without syncing, so that could also be part of the problem. You should always make a keep a backup of your Address Book on your computer and in another safe location whenever you make any change to it.
    May I ask why you haven't updated to 10.4.11 yet, as it provides various bug fixes and security enhancements?

  • Having a problem all of a sudden....

    so i'm at my house typing about my boyfriend's computers....here's the situation....
    1 imac....1 macbook....when imac was set up (had macbook and pc before) we had no problems what-so-ever hooking it up to the internet and getting the wireless to work. however, the whole comp system is on an outlet with a switch...so someone turned the switch off (which has happened before)...except this time, the internet is not working. the main comp, the imac, won't connect for whatever reason and of course there's no wireless. like i said, the settings were all straight from the box, nothing changed...and it worked...and now it doesn't.
    don't know what happened...any thoughts?

    It's MacBook Pro 10.74

  • IMAC Wireless Internet Connection Problems All Of A Sudden

    My Imac is well over a year and a bit old and has been able to connect to my wireless internet connection absolutely fine until the past week and a half. At first the connection wouldn't work and when I would turn my airport on and off and reset the router, it would eventually work, now that is not working at all. My airport status is either showing 'airport is turned on but is not connected to a network' or 'airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet'
    I have formatted my imac twice and still no avail and the last format I tried to join wirelessly straight from boot but it wouldn't join saying 'there is a problem with the wireless connection and you're not connected to the internet.' the annoying thing is I can see the network sitting there and can't join it, my network is also unsecure so no need to input a password. All my home PC's and my Iphone and Blackberry find the network easily enough, although recently the Iphone has began showing only 1 bar of wifi connection.
    I am at my wits end as I am unable to connect at all now, I am all out of ideas and have been bashing my head off a wall for the past day without any connection at all.
    My router is a buffalo AirStation wireless G high power model, my IMAC is an intel core 2 duo 20", if you need anymore information of my hardware I will gladly provide it. I'm running MAC OSX Leopard 10.5, out the box as I've been unable to run any software updates as I can't connect to the internet.
    Please, if anyone can shed any light at all on this issue I would definately try anything.
    Thanks in advance and regards.

    Anytime you see a self-assigned IP address in your network prefs you know it surely is a problem
    with your router configuration. Power down all equip ... make sure modem is off for at least 5 minutes
    restart modem, restart iMac ... check your network pref on iMac and make sure it's not 169.x.x.x
    If so you will need to recapture the settings from your ISP's modem to the Buffalo.
    Always use a secure wireless connection (WEP, WPA, WPA2) or else the whole neighborhood will suck down your bandwidth the slow down what your paying for. I use Time Capsules or AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Stations) that allow you to stealth mode and lower signal output and make the device
    as a "closed network" ... meaning no one else can see and tap into your WIFI home network!
    802.11N is better than G. and especially when you can use dual bands 2.4 / 5GHz to stop various home interferences. The backup of Time Machine only makes life much easier also! Xtech

  • Lots of problems all of a sudden!

    Hi everyone - hope someone can halp me - I'm pulling my hair out!
    Until yesterday, my Mac Mini was running just fine in every regard.  Now everythings seems to have gone weird.  Here are the symptoms:
    1) Certain web pages take forever to load or won't load at all.  Google and bing results will flash up instantly, but loading certain websites, the blue bar on Safari gets so far then stops whilst the grey spinning wheel on the tab goes for ages, sometimes the blue bar then disappears and a second grey spinning wheel apears at the end of the progress bar.  I have tried Firefox and the issue IS NOT just with Safari.
    2) When trying to connect to the mac App Store, I get the grey spinning wheel for ages before I simply end up with a blank app store pane with a message in the centre saying "Cannot connect to the App Store".
    3) When I try and connect to the Itunes store, I get the "Accessing iTunes Store" progress bar at the top for ages until I get a box pop up saying "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store.  The network connection timed out.  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
    4) Some of my widgets on the dashboard are refusing to load data from the web.
    PERTINENT (maybe) INFORMATION:
    - I know my internet connection is fine as my iPhone is using everything just great.
    - Some webpages (including this one) are happy to load as usual.
    - Whilst I was typing all this a few minutes ago I abandoned it as everything started working again randomly (the same problems reappeared minutes later and so I came back).
    - I downloaded the iMesssage Beta from the Apple website yesterday.
    WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
    I have uninstalled the iMessage Beta, closed all apps and restarted the Mac.
    SYSTEM SPECS:
    Mac mini (early 2009)
    Intel Core 2 Duo (2 GHz)
    2 GB RAM
    Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Here`s the screenshot.
    But anyway:
    The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
    So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
    If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

  • Bluetooth problems all around - Modem in the first row.

    Hi there,
    I've got a really annoying problem with the Bluetooth Setup of my Mac. Like you can see in my system description, I use Mac OS X 10.5.6. For a long time I used my old mobile via Bluetooth and GPRS as a Modem. Now it was time for a change. I bought a new mobile which supports 3G (Nokia 5800 Xpress Music).
    I used the Bluetooth Wizard and told him to use all possible bluetooth functions of my device. I looked in the internet for the right configuration (APN, CID,...) and choosed to use the Nokia GPRS/3G Modem script which is preinstalled in Mac OS X (I also tried another one from www.taniwha.org.uk, it didn't work either).
    The very strange thing is, the first connection worked without any problem, but after disconnecting and reconnecting it didn't work anymore. Instead I've got a message that the RFCOMM-Channel can't be opened.
    I tried to fix the problem myself by searching wrong settings in some plists, but although I restored the original settings after recognizing that my changes didn't work, I've got a new problem.
    Now the status symbol of the bluetooth modem always shows up that no modem configuration could be found, although I can still try to connect via Network -> Bluetooth. Of course it doesn't work this way too.
    Sometimes the bluetooth modem works once after a reboot ( not after every reboot ). But only once!
    File Transfer always works! The Nokia Multimedia Transfer also always works.
    I definitely need advice of some of you, experts.
    I'd love to hear from you!

    Hi,
    sorry, but the problem isn't solved yet. I tried different things but nothing helped:
    I backuped and deleted the following Files:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/Preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    /Users/benutzername/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.BluetoothHASH.plist
    But it didn't help. In fact it made things worse. Therefore I restored the backuped files.
    I deleted all bluetooth devices and installed just my new phone a bunch of times. - No change at all.
    I used FSEventer to control the Filesystem Access. That leaded me only to the files mentioned above.
    In the log-file:
    /private/var/log/ppp.log
    is the following error message logged:
    Failed to open /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem: Resource busy
    Up until now, I don't understand why this resource is busy.
    I figured out, that the modem works using a USB-connection. That isn't a satisfying solution but it works for now.
    Nevertheless I am still really interested in resolving the Bluetooth problem.

  • Strange Problem - All of my preloaded .swf files play at once

    Hey guys,
      I've been getting a strange problem that I haven't been able to debug.  I recently developed an interactive audio and video treatment program that users click through in which a master swf file (DTM-Start.swf) uses ActionScript upon first being loaded to load the rest of the program in the background.  Here's how the code looks: 
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.Event;
    // create movieclip objects to hold the loaded movies
    var intr1:MovieClip;
    var maladaptIntr1:MovieClip;
    var maladaptIntr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
    var maladaptIntr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Maladapt1.swf");
    maladaptIntr1Loader.load(maladaptIntr1Request);
    maladaptIntr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, maladaptIntr1Loaded);
    var intr1Loader:Loader = new Loader(); 
    var intr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Intr1.swf");
    intr1Loader.load(intr1Request);
    intr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, intr1Loaded);
    function maladaptIntr1Loaded(event:Event):void
        maladaptIntr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
        maladaptIntr1.stop();
        addChild(maladaptIntr1);
        maladaptIntr1.y = -1000
        trace("maladaptIntr1");
    function intr1Loaded(event:Event):void
        intr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
        intr1.stop();
        addChild(intr1);
        intr1.y = -1000
        trace("intr1");
    function playIntr1() {
       intr1.y = 0;
       intr1.play();
    function playMaladapt1() {
        maladaptIntr1.y = 0;
        maladaptIntr1.play();
    So that's the idea.  What's strange is that when I load a .swf file compiled with AIR 2.6 (because the user interacts with the movie and a text file is output) it's fine too, but as soon as I add any actionscript, even if it's just a stop() command, to a .swf file compiled with AIR, the DTM-Start.swf loads and then plays all of the movies simultaneously so they're all going off at once.  Essentially, flash seems to be ignoring the maladaptIntr.stop() command in the Loaded function, for instance.  I just don't understand why adding any Actionscript whatsoever to a .swf compiled with AIR would make my DTM-Start do this.  I am very confident this is the issue too, because loading .swf files compiled with the FlashPlayer with action script are fine...AIR .swf files without Actionscript are fine too, it's only AIR .swf files with ANY actionscript that cause this problem....
    Any ideas?
    Much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ricky

    One solution is simply to have a stop() in the constructor of the document Class of each swf you're loading. Another solution is something like:
    package {
         class MainDocument extends MovieClip {
