Odd, Points showing and then taken away?

Hello everyone,
I just noticed a rather odd thing happen to my point count in 10.3 and ealier usage forum. My point accumalation was such that it was showing in the sidebar "Top Rated Members" as 570 points after I had been awarded what appeared to be 10 points. I didn't at the time know where the points had been awarded but went off searching of my post and saw a "Helpful" 5 point award in one of the last topics I had posted to but I could not find the other 5 points........
With the above as a preface, I now just saw that I have 565 points in the sidebar of the 10.3 and earlier usage forum.
Is the forum software giving errors of point totals and then correcting?
Has anyone seen this before? Perhaps it's a common problem that I have just never noticed before?
I'm truly not concerned about the loss of points but just more interested in what could have caused the problem.....

I have seen this happen to me as well. I saw it when I received points in a thread that was then removed and thought that it was just plain gone.
However, they aren't really gone. The current forum software doesn't allow for posts or threads to be deleted. They are actually moved to an administrative area that is not for everyone to see.
If a thread is moved, the points are still on your ID, but they will show in that administrative area instead of the 10.3 area in this case. They are still part of your overall total, but not part of the 10.3 total. I saw this myself when either Kappy or Tuttle showed me this area where I am one of the Top 10 - LOL!
Hope that makes sense.

  • I would like to create a slide show and then burn to a DVD.  I may be interested in adding music.  Should I use iPhone, iMovie or a simple Powerpoint?

    I am going to be creating a slide show and then burning it to a couple of DVDs.  I have used PPT in the past for simple slide shows for speaking engagements, but I am interested in adding music to this slide show.  What is the best/easiest application to use?  iMovie, iPhoto or Powerpoint?
    Thanks!

    burning it to a couple of DVDs
    Is it your intention to create video DVDS that can be played on TV sets via DVD players?  If so you'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Buying a TV Show and then putting it onto DVD

    Is there a way to buy TC shows and then burn them onto a DVD disco or does iTunes not allow you to do this

    You can only backup iTunes TV shows or Movies to data DVD for storage purposes, you can't burn them to a regular playable DVD to use on other players.

    Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences.  To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

    If my Adobe Muse and Air apps are both up to date (as of today) and I cannot open a Muse file, what are my options? While Muse is relinking assets I get an error message regarding the Progress Window "showing" and then Muse crashes.

    Hi there,
    Do you get this error while opening a particular file or all files?
    Please try opening a different .muse file, and check if it does the same?
    Ar you opening a .muse which is saved on a network drive?
    Thanks.

  • About a month ago, I began periodically getting the spinning wheel while trimming, adding titles or transitions, etc.  It lasts for about 15 seconds and then goes away.  This seems to happen once every minute or two.  I have more than enough RAM/Power.

    About a month ago, I began periodically getting the spinning wheel while trimming, adding titles or transitions, etc.  It lasts for about 15 seconds and then goes away.  This seems to happen once every minute or two.  I have more than enough RAM/Power, etc.  About every other time I use FCPX it will spontaneously close (typically when editing a title).  None of these things were happening previously.  I have lots of projects that I store on Promise Pegasus drives via Thunderbolt.  I only keep a few projects and the associated events open in FCPX at a time, otherwise I use Event Managaer X to keep track of them.  Can anybody give me any suggestions as to why this is occurring and what I can do to remedy it?  I have the latest version of FCPX as far as I can tell.  This is driving me mad and costing me significant time while editing.  By the way, I am doing just basic editing.  Essentially trimming, cutting and adding some transitions and a few title screens.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    These apperarances of the spinning wheel tend to be related to some io operation that takes too long. Maybe the finder is trying to reach a network server that became unavailable.
    I would try clearing caches and do an overall maintenance with an utility like OnyX.
    Also, trashing preferences does no harm and is often the first troubleshooting measure when FCP X misbehaves.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • So my i just dropped my iPad and now it won't start up. It just keeps turning on and off. Like the apple symbol shows up and then goes away? What happened and is there a way to fix it. I tried restoring and that didn't work

    I pretty much stated it in my question. I dropped my iPad and now it won't boot itself up. The apple symbol shows up, then the screen turns all black and weird looking with a strange green color at the bottom, and just turns off. It keeps doing this over and over. What happened and is there a way to fix it? I also tried connecting it to itunes and that doesn't seem to be working. It detects an ipad but can't seem to read anything else. It tells me to try and restore it but I can't. HELP!!!

    Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
    Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.

  • If firefox starts, the startingpage (whitch is google) shows up for a few seconds, and then go away, and i get a white background with nothing on

    Firefox is gisteren beginnen raar doen, je opent de browser, de startpagina komt er 2 seconden op, en dan verdwijnt die, ik krijg dan een wit scherm, en het is zo bij elke pagina die ik open, (facebook, youtube....) Wat kan dit probleem zijn?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Downloading content to use with apple tv on television, can you download multiple shows and then watch them later or just one at a time, watch then download the next one??  If multiple downloads are possible how does one do it?

    I just received apple tv as a present this Christmas and the shows take too long to download when I want to watch them.  Can I download multiple shows overnight or during day and watch them in the evening??  If so how?

    The ATV stores no content.
    Content can be downloaded to iTunes on a computer and then streamed to the ATV via HomeSharing.

  • Why do I get an install box and then taken to the foxfire page each time I open foxfire

    Foxfire was working fine until I got a message that updates were ready. After the install each time I open foxfire I see a very brief software install box and then I'm taken to the foxfire welcome screen.
    I've tried reinstalling foxfire with the same results

    Google adds that extra data to make it possible to check the sites via its phishing protection database.<br />
    You can see the links change if you right-click a link.
    If you see that data in the location bar then you may have an extension interfering.

  • Firefox will not open at all. After click the hourglass comes up and then goes away and nothing happens at all. Nothing will load past the desktop. I cannot get into firefox at all to enable anything or disable anything.

    When i click on the mozilla icon on the desktop the arrow will spin (VISTA) and will then disappear. Mozilla will not enable or even pop up or anything. I am still looking at the desktop and not mozilla. I lick on the icon many times and nothing ever enables, still stuck looking at the desktop and no Internet. Not to bring up your rival, but IE will open half way and then say not responding and will freeze and i must restart the computer every time. I have to use opera now because IE and Mozilla will not enable and Mozilla wont even pop up or enable or anything...just the desktop and no net. ONCE AGAIN MOZILLA WILL NOT ENABLE, SO I CANNOT GO TO TOOLS OR ANYTHING.

    I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
    Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

  • Today all my Bookmarks disapeared from Safari, when i checked my iphone they were there and then went away the same happened on my ipad. Any ideas on how to restore?

    Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.

    Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
    First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
    That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
    For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
    iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
    Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
    Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
    Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution.
