OK - Just came back from MAX - first time, just learning,

I want to use After Effects for creating some animation. Absolutely gone brain dead on how to get started. I want to go into the preset animation backgrounds, capture one of the presets and import to my workspace.  ????  My goal is to capture and manipulate the preset animation to look like flow in a pipeline.

  • Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

    If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
    If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

  • Updated to iOS 7, when my phone came on for the first time I could see I had 2 new viber messages.  When I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone.

    Hi,
    I have only just upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and am having a  problem with Viber. When my phone came on for the first time after the update I could see I had 2 new viber messages, when I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone...
    I still have an itunes backup of my phone just before the update, I restored it to this backup, followed the same process and now viber will not even work (the access code wont sms to me and the phone call option for recieving this code also come up with some error about not being able to do this at this time).
    I have been able to access viber using another phone number (I have two sims which I use as I am currently overseas in south korea, my referenced australian sim has worked previously on viber overseas and I definently do have roaming on) but again I have no message history.
    So to questions:
    1) Why is my activation not working under my referenced australian number?
    2) Can I recover all my message history which should be saved in my itunes backup?  I am willing to revert to this backup state again if needed.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

    If you have not done so, try exiting the Photo app (and maybe more apps if you have a lot open) from the Open Apps List and see if a discount/reconnect opens the app. If that does not work, try powering down the iPad and test. If it is still not working try a hard reset by pressing both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time until the Apple graphic appears, ignoring the Slide to Power Off button.

  • TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

    My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day.  The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.)  It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini.  Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini.  It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look.  It doesn't update at all.
    I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
    Maybe its Safari?
    I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
    I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
    If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
    If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks in advance...

  • How do I loop back from the first frame to the last frame?

    Hi there,
    I'm currently working on the framework for a product viewer.
    I have:
    a movie clip called 'viewer_mc' which contains the images take from different angles of the product. The actionscript generates a script on the last frame of this that returns it to frame 1.
    a button instance called 'autoplay_btn' which plays through the movie clip from whatever the current frame is, and stops on frame 1.
    a left and right button which serve to move the movie clip frame, to give the appearance that the product is rotating.
    I have succeeded in getting it to:
    have the movie clip play through once, return to frame 1 and stop.
    have the buttons return functions when held down, that move the frame in the movie clip using nextFrame and prevFrame commands. The right button successfully loops round to frame 1 and continues functioning to give the appearance of continual rotation.
    The last problem I am experiencing is getting the left button to act in the corresponding manner, going from the first frame to the last and continuing to function.
    Here is my actionscript so far:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
    var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
    var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
    1. This is the part that gets it to play through once before returning to the first frame. I think perhaps the problem I am experiencing is because of the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' part i.e. although I'm holding the left button, its returning to this script and therefor getting bounced back immediately to the first frame. However, there is no flicker on the screen which you might expect if this were the case
    Note - as this is a generic product viewer which I can use as a template I am using lastFrame etc. as opposed to typing the value in
    function toStart (){
              viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
    2. This is the functionality for the autoplay_btn that will play through a rotation / return the viewer to the initial (frontal) view of the product (frame 1).
    autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
    function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
              var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
              viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
    3. This is the functionality of the right button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the next frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'nextFrame' command. It loops back round to the first frame due to the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' script generated on the last frame of the movie clip, as is desired.
    right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
    function rightDown(e:Event){
        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
    function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight);  //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
    function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
        viewer_mc.nextFrame();
    4. This is the functionality of the left button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the prev frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'prevFrame' command. And this is where the problem lies, as although it works for getting the movieclip back to frame 1, it does not loop round to the last frame and continue functioning, as is wanted.
    left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
    function leftDown(e:Event){
        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
    function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft);  //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
    I'd imagine it is probably my logic for this part that is really letting me down - I can do a similar function in actionscript 2, but am trying to learn actionscript 3 just to move with the times as it were, and struggling a bit. Still this is only a few days in!
    function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
              if(thisFrame==1){
                        gotoAndStop(viewer_mc.totalFrames-1);
              } else{
              viewer_mc.prevFrame();
    Any help you can give me would be gratefully received. For an example of the effect I am trying to achieve with the autoplay button etc. I recommend:

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    Here's the code without my comments / explanations:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.Event;
    var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
    var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
    var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
    function toStart (){
              viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
    //last image of viewer_mc = first image of viewer_mc
    autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
    function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
              var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
              viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
    right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
    function rightDown(e:Event){
        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
    function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight);  //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
    function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
        viewer_mc.nextFrame();
    left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
    function leftDown(e:Event){
        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft);//while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
    function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft);  //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
    function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
              viewer_mc.prevFrame();
    The definition of the rotateLeft function is where the problem lies I think - I've taken out my poor attempts at doing the logic from the previous post. If I were to write it out long-hand the statement I want to write is: 'If you get to frame 1 and function rotateLeft is called go to the end of the movie clip'.
    The reason I have to use the viewer_mc.totalFrames-1 definition in the addFrameScript call is the addFrameScript function is 0 based i.e. if you want to call frame 1 of the movieclip you have to return a value of 0 in the addFrameScript (or such is my understanding of it anyway). As such, the last image in the movie clip will need to be the view obtained at 360 degree rotation, which is of course the same view as at 0 degree rotation. As a consequence, the last frame in the movie clip is superfluous for the user, but necessary for the overall effect to be achieved. And, in addition, to keep up the effect of a 360 degree view when the rotateLeft function is called it needs to skip that last frame to go to the lastFrame-1 (or totalframes-1), or in other words, the view of the image prior to completing the full 360 rotation.
    the variables thisFrame and lastFrame are defined at the very top of the script. Like you said they might need to be defined or called on again elsewhere.

  • IMac came back from repair with a loose hinge..

    So my iMac had some fan problems, went away for repair under AppleCare, and came back fully working with a logic board replacement. Excellent, no problems. However, the hinge seems much looser than it was when I left, such that a bang or knock on my desk causes it to begin to droop downwards. It means I need to re-situate it somewhere between 5 and 10 times a day, and presumably it'll only get worse.
    Can I tighten the hinge myself? I'd REALLY rather not lose the thing for another two weeks while they get a screwdriver in there. Is this something I can fix?
    Thanks!

    They collected it from me the first time, and it wasn't a separate courier or anything. I called the people who repaired it and the engineer is going to return my call, but it seems like something I should be able to do myself. How do you get the stand off? Presumably it's doable, to add the VESA mount?

  • IPhoto 9.2.1 displaying wrong time on photo after changing back from daylight savings time

    Europe went back to standard time (from daylight savings time) on Sunday morning, Oct. 30.  In my Nikon D7000 I changed the time accordingly by retaining the time zone (UTC+1) but switching Daylight Savings to OFF.  The times on the photos display correctly in the camera and in Finder.  They also display correctly in EXIF-O-Matic.  In iPhoto 9.2.1, however, they display with one hour added.  Has anybody else encountered this problem?
    Just tried to reproduce the error but could not.  Without changing any of the time zone settings I shot a photo and imported it into iPhoto.  The time in iPhoto is now correct.  I am absolutely sure that I set Daylight Savings to OFF in the camera before taking any photos on Oct. 30.  Perhaps the problem has to do with importing on Oct. 30, the day of the change?

    You should not be importing that Library.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    You simply restore the Library from Time Machine and then open it.
