Now my Forum name is martcol-BiAuTr - What's that About?

This morning my forum name changed.  I don't like it.  It's freeking me out almost as much as the Green LED on my DVD player.  It's just not right.
I also notice a strange collection of letters by my email on the hover pop-up for my user name.
Am I being infiltrated or something?

The three magic words are, "It All Depends".
Different people will give you totally opposing, yet true, advice depending on their situations.
In an ideal world, where money is of no importance, bigger is probably best. However, most people live in the real world where there are financial constraints.
If you are a video professional whose very survival is at risk, you will naturally get the "best and biggest".
However, if saving a few seconds here and there is not so important you will reach a compromise.
Look at the equipment I am using. Prehistoric ! Yet it happily runs FCE 3.5 and FCP 5.1.4. Admittedly it won't let me use Color or Motion.
The cheap MBP should be easily capable of handling everything you require.
Incidentally, if video is just a sideline, you may be better off getting FCE 4 for about a fifth the price of FCS 2. It is the same program minus a few of the unnecessary bells and whistles and less the extra applications of the FCS suite.

  • HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

    I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about?

    You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud.  Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
    You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
    If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean?

    My Ipod mini will not sync.  I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
    Thank you

    Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
    Open My Computer
    Right-click your iPod  -> click Properties.
    Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
    Check "Automatically fix file system error"
    k Start.
    Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
    Good Luck!

    Usually, where there are issues like that, it has to do with incompatible programs that may be loaded at system startup. So, in System Preferences, look at your login ID, and login items, and see if any programs listed there should be updated to run with Snow Leopard. While in System Preferences, look at the bottom of the window where you may find some programs listed also. Check them too.
    On your scanner, HP changed the way the scanners work under Snow Leopard. See this HP document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=3739150&sw_lang=#N377 . Scroll down and click the scanning twistie.

  • Problems with credit card or removed credit number and itunes doesn't let you update/download already purchased items - what is that about?!

    I took my credit card number off b/c I was having problems with it and I was waiting for a new card , and itunes would not let me update and already purchased apps and TV seasons! What is that all about?!

    I just called the 1-800-My-Apple and the said there is really nothing they can do about it. They said I had an outstanding payment of $8.54 (or something like that), I said I know b/c of the problem I am having with my bank, but NO previous completed purchases should have anything to do with this outstanding payment . It should not keep me from being able to update or download previously completely paid apps, TV Shows, or movies - they are mine, and I paid for them. I submitted a complaint.. that just isn't right!

  • My bill show text messages from my cell number sent to my cell number what is that about

    MMy bill shows text messages from my cell number sent to my number what does that mean

    Jackie, this usually happens when the number that was texting you was blocked or  unavailable.  The billing system uses your own number as sort of a placeholder. It could be another reason, but as far as I know, that's the reason.

  • I've downloaded the software, but now it is taking hours to "extract" files - what is that about?

    How long will "extracting" take - and how do I delete this process if it's taking literally days???

    Did you customize the download location?  This often happens when users select their Program Files folder which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have permission to write too.
    Have you tried clicking on the cancel button within the Adobe Download Assistant?

    Pls help!

    HI there Annette, I Movie. Its a little more intricate, but gives a lot more options. I usually always do my slideshows in there. As far as the I Photo slideshow. Once you have your album photos and after you click the slideshow icon at the bottom, go to the settings icon. Once you are in there, you have a lot more options. I just kept changing them till I have what I wanted. Then go to the music icon and you can import some songs. If you want more than one song, First make a play list in I Tunes, with the desired songs. when you open the music icon, than all you have to do is select the playlist, not the individual song. I happen to like the Ken Burns effect. So if you want to have that motion you will have to adjust each photo so nothing gets chopped off. I also do not scale photos to fill screen, as that always chops off something. Just keep doing it till you get what you like. okey doke. I always print directions as well, than I can look while I do. Good Luck
    PS. If you do not want Ken Burns, do not click it in the settings tab, leave it unchecked. If you do want it on some photos, there is another icon at the bottom near the settings, that you can add him to individual Pics.

  • Most songs come up with a message "unable to locate original file".What's that about and how do I fix it?

    In my library, many listed songs, when activated to play, give a message "unable to locate file, do you want us to search for it?". If you say yes, it never finds it, as it the songs are gone. Any thoughts on what's going on?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
