Old problem... no solution at all!

Hi (again!)
Two post in 5 mins... man... am i crazy?
I thought Apple guys solved it... i´ve just captured a 5 min clip (here they are... the 5 min) in "capture now" mode... and it´s out of sync!
What is happening with this... "bug"... from FCP...
Have you guys tested with FCP 6.0.3?
Bah!
Thank you!
HBars

When you used "capture now", did you:
a) hit play on your dv tape, then the "capture now" button, or
b) vice versa?
I've had this problem before, and through some painful trial and error, found that in situation (b) my footage would appear to be captured fine, but when played, the audio would drift out of sync. But using method (a), it would be just fine. Not sure if this is still relevant with the latest FCP, hope this helps anyway, and good luck!

  • So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

    So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

    If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
    If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

  • Found the Solution to All of Aperture Problems! Easy Fix.

    [ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
    After much tinkering with Aperture 1.0, 1.0.1, and 1.1, I've found the solution for all the problems that Apple is having with Aperture:
    They should simply acquire Capture One Pro and use that as the foundation for the RAW conversions in Aperture.

    Hello,
    in my opinion Aperture 1.1 is a killer application for editing files. The support for systems with two displays is the best I have worked with. But there are many fields to improve.
    - Quicker, easier and reliable IPTC keywording like iView Media Pro offers.
    - Still needed: better conversion of RAW files. Capture one Pro´s Color tools are very precise. When you are shooting portraits stay with C1. I have to open nearly every image converted with aperture within Photoshop. This is barely needed with C1Pro.
    - The HUD experience is still weak I think. Tweaking an image exactly is painful because the sliders are too small and sometimes a little move of a slider meens a lot of change inside the image.
    - Generated Webpages are full of coding errors. Weird thing: the templates are correct.
    - Versions of images should be marked more clearly. Please show me names or Pop-Up notes or something.
    - Having a closed vault looks good and sounds cool. But for now my vault holds 36 GB. This will grow quickly. I don´t feel good about it. I could use several vaults. For every month, every year. But am I able to search in all of them at the same time? Does Spotlight searches inside Aperture libraries? I dont think so. iView does. So I use iView to keep an eye on my aperture lib. That sound like a joke...
    But I like Aperture a lot. It is a revolution. When I work with images I usually have 2 to 6 versions on my harddrive. Plus backups. One original. One for print, one for the web, one for the client and so on. This is all gone with Aperture. And that´s great. But a revolution is not an easy thing. Many things are to improve. And they have to be improved without loosing this Aperture thing.
    My conclusion for now: Aperture is a workhorse. It helps a lot to edit images and to distribute them. It helps to keep images organized.
    It is not a digital archival system nor a high precision raw converter. When you are shooting lots of images during events - use Aperture. When you are shooting high quality productions use anything what makes sense to you. Aperture is a version number 1.1 We have to be patient until the revolution evolves.

  • Want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

    want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

    Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution wo

    I have a Zen Vision 30GB (not a Zen Vision M or W, just a Zen Vision). On Friday I was trying to add songs to my Zen and halfway through adding the songs I got an error on the computer saying "player not connected". So I undocked the player, turned it off and reset my computer. Saturday morning I turned on my Zen to try to add songs again and I got the error message on my Zen?"Firmware Problem" and it put me in "Recovery Mode". The first thing I did was try to reload the firmware, but when I plugged the Zen to the computer it says "docked", but I cannot move through the menu. When I unhook it from the computer I can move through the menu. BTW I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I have uninstalled the Zen software and installed the software off the Creative website for Vista, but when I try to run the firmware it says "Player not connected, please connect player."? When I plug the player in via USB my computer recognizes it and prompts me if I want to sync my player, so there isn't anything wrong with my USB connection. The?Device Manager recognizes it however Windows Media Player does not. I get the same error message when I try to do the Recovery Tool on the Creative website. I have looked for solutions on the forums and just doing Google searches, but I have not been able to get anything to work. Please help me!? The player is less than a year old. I have never had any problems with it before, never been dropped or anything like that, so i am not sure what is going on. Any help or suggestions would be great!? I sent an email to customer support yesterday and the reply I received this morning was no help. First they thought I had the Zen Vision M, even though I specifically said I had the Zen Vision and gave them the serial number and everything. I sent them back a message today and hopefully they can help, but it is frustrating having to send an email and wait around for a reply.

    Re: Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution works\ I recently had this problem with a player i got off Ebay. What I did was format>cleanup>reboot the device thru the recovery screen on the the player. Problem solved . Be advised this will erase all the files (music ect.) http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

  • I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

    Greetings everyone
    as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive  and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
    The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating  8500 music files individually!
    Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
    i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
    If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
    This complicates you situation considerably.
    iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
    Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
    Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
    Step 1
    Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
    Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
    Look for lines starting:
    Location
    These contain the paths to tracks.
    You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
    Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
    Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
    After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
    Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
    If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
    File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
    This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
    Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.

  • My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    Hello Douglas,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro.  I recommend the following steps for this issue:
    Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Can anyone help; re: Faxing problems with my 6200 all in one

    Our HP office jet 6210 which we use only for faxing and minor printing intermittenly goes crazy with blinking red and amber lights
    when a fax is being received or when we are sending one.  When the fax fails and we stop the blinking lights, it self tests then turns off.  Sometimes when it does this we get an error message printed that says "Power Failure."  The party being faxed gets 1/2 a fax or 1 page out of 5.  I'll unplug it from the electric and plug it back in and then it will work fine for a day or two.  We have tried faxing from the glass when we have problems and that seems to work when self-feed faing doesn't.  We have not installed any drivers as this is not plugged into a computer but stands alone with it's own designated phone line.
    Any ideas???  The machine is 5 years old and has never given us any trouble until now.  Is it time to upgrade?
    Thanks so very much!!!!
    Joanne

    I have a new photosmart plus printer B209a CD035A and I have never been able to set up the fax, I get a message saying that the phone line is not connected to the modem, the phone is connected to my modem or I would not have an internet connection, perhaps I am not understanding it, I have the printer set up wireless now but it was wired before and I still could not set it up, I purchased it in April this year along with my new desktop Elite HPE-150f model AY603AA,  using windows7 64 bit, now I have a problem with the alignment, all the fonts are cut off down each side which makes it hard to read instructions, can someone give me some help with this. The alignment problem has only just started this past 2 weeks. thanks

  • When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano in which both have manually managed music, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced".  This problem started to occur all of a sudden. Any ideas other than the resyncing?

    When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced".  Everything was working fine and transferring successfully and then this problem started to occur all of a sudden. My music is managed manually and always has. I looked online for a solution and they all involve resyncing the library and unchecking voice memos. Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to resync my music or reinstall itunes?

    Have you powered off and then back on the router?
    Have you done anything to the router recently like changed a setting?
    Have you tried:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Resetting network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network SettingsTo me the error sounds like a network/router problem vice aan iPod problem.

  • Best Practice on Knowledge Management, IS01 Problems and Solutions

    Been Playing with KM and looking for insight from other users (will give points) using it for ICWC.
    We have mulitple product lines where we have documents with Q & A's in each line.  As I look at moving that into CRM via IS01, I am looking for any Best Practices or recommendations.
    1. Create a single problem and solution for every question.
    2. Create a single problem (list all questions)  for every product line and create multiple solutions that are linked to that problem (solution for each question)
    3. Is LMSW a good tool for loading data in mass?
    The ICWC search brings back the 1st line on the problem & solution on the screen, meaning I try to limit the characters used so it fits on the ICWC screen, a long 1st line on the problem doesn't allow the agent to see enough of the solution without opening the link.
    Thanks,

    Hello Glenn,
    If it helps, here's a scenario about KB on my company system.
    Our call center supervisors are the persons who creates problem and solutions in our KB. They maintain it but don't use IS01 transaction. They use instead  People Centric BSP's for Problem s and solutions (they're integrated in IC webclient with the help of transaction launcher).
    Normally, they prefer creating multiple solutions to one problem, instead of single problem - single solution method. This because some questions may have multiple solutions. They could put all the solutions text in one solution object, but for maintainance purposes we think it's better to create multiple solutions object to every solution text, because if one solution becames obsete, all we have to do is unlink instead of changing the text.
    We don't use LSMW. I don't have much experience in LSMW, but if you use it, be careful to respect KB interval numbers for problems and solutions. We implement an initial set of problems and solutions in our Development system, and we passed to the Quality and Produtive system, with the precious help of sap note '728295 - Transport the SDB customization between two CRM systems' and '728668 -Transport the content of the SDB between two CRM systems'.
    One cool idea to use the KB is using Auto-suggest feature. The idea is to integrate the links between problems and solutions with, for example, service ticket categorization, using BSP Category modeler, and when an agent classifies a ticket, at the top of the screen it will appear the suggested solutions/problems for the classification choosen.
    I think that's all.
    Sorry for my poor english. Today I'm not feeling very inspirated
    Kind regards.

  • Old Problem/New Problem: Lightroom can't find file, then finds, but won't edit it.

    (Lightroom 2; Macintosh G5; OS X (10.4.11))
    First, the old problem which, though unresolved, is here mostly for background:
    A little over a month ago, I posted a question (at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480423?tstart=0 ).
    The short version of that problem is that certain previously accessible images were not able to be opened in Lighroom. The preview image appeared in the main window accompanied by this message across the top of it:
    "The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing."
    When I right clicked on the image and selected "Show in finder" I got this message:
    "The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Below which was shown the original path to the file. In the middle of that path, one or more folders appeared with colons in their names in place of the slashes originally part of the names (some folders have dates in their names). Following the path via the Finder, the file was exactly where it was supposed to be, although, of course, slashes appeared instead of the colons that were in the Lightroom summary of the original path, but Lightroom couldn't find them.
    I was convinced that Lightroom was renaming the folders (but only in its interface; the original folders had correct names in the finder -- which is the only way they could have been named, since colons are illegal characters and won't be accepted as part of a file name). But I see now that there is some weird thing going on in the Finder itself. Even though I see the correct name on a folder when I search for it, or navigate through the hierarchy, if I click on the file at the end of that hierarchy (the file that Lightroom said it couldn't find) and ask for file info (via Command - I, or other method), the path to that file shows colons where slashes should be, but only in the names of the folders that were so named in Lightroom. All other folders with slashes in their names are listed correctly. So it's a Finder problem. Though this is still a mystery, I have been able to work around the problem. But how is this happening? (Note that I will be reformulating the question and posting it on the Apple discussion groups soon; I don't expect this forum to deal with Apple system issues. Just thought that others here may have had the same problem.)
    Now, the new problem, possibly related to the old one:
    In the same collection where I noted the previous problem, I selected an image that I wanted to print. The preview came up with this message:
    "The file could not be found."
    But when I right click on the image and select "Show in finder" it opens the correct Finder window with the file in question highlighted. The file, a TIFF, opens normally in Preview or Photoshop.
    So why does Lightroom think it's not there? (even though it can show me exactly where it is)
    I have edited this photo in Lightroom before. I have printed it from Lightroom before (as shown in the Lightroom history). But today it can't be edited, won't print and "could not be found"!!!
    I know I can print from Photoshop, or re-import this photo into Lightroom (along with any others that Lightroom "can't find"), though both would require time and re-editing the original. I would rather understand (if that's possible) why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully I can avoid such wackiness in the future.
    I realize that may have to burn some sage and hire a Shaman, but any ideas that won't smoke up the house or scare the cats would be most welcome.
    Thanks for reading.

    If you have an old goat around that's not doing so well, consider the sacrifice.
    The one thing that occurs to me besides the Gremlin, is the use of colons or slashes or some other character that the OS or LR doesn't like in some file name or other.  I think you'd have to change same in Finder, then show LR where the images are.

  • New iPhone 4....same old problems

    Hi folks, I'm one of the many disappointed iPhone4 customers and I hope you can help me out here. Yesterday I got my new iPhone4 and as I was expecting I have the common problems almost everybody else has: poor reception/lost of reception almost all the time. The previous iPhone 3G was working great but the new one is not. Mine came bundled with iOS 4.1. As I have read in this forums and many others there seem to be a bug in this version of the OS that causes poor reception and incorrect signal strength bars. I was wondering whether it possible to install the previous version of the OS, namely, iOS 4.0.5 (i guess that's the correct version number?) because I've heard that that particular version doesn't have this problem (I'm aware I will lose things like HDR but hey, I have a real camera for that so I don't care if the iPhone has or not HDR capabilities).
    Is that possible? if so, how can I do it?
    thanks,

    Hi Malcolm,
    You are reading reports from only the users who have problems. Users without problems don't >complain.
    This is a weak argument. What should I do? read the complains of people whose devices work fine? I'm sorry but your answer to that sentence doesn't hold. Whenever you have problems with something you look for advice and comments of people that have the same problems. That's the way human problem solving works.
    When the next version comes out you will see many people wanting to return to 4.1, which will
    have suddenly become perfect.
    Again, this is a thin argument. As customers who pay a LOT of many for electronic devices we want things to be functional. So, with the release of a new driver/OS version we expect the old problems to go away and, yes, new problems will come along because that's just the way software development works. So, if iOS 4.1 was supposed to solve reception problems how does Apple explains that after releasing v4.1 those problems are still here? Many people have reception problems, just read the forums. Again, we don't just a fancy electronic device, we want a functional thing. It's like buying an expensive rolex watch that does everything except telling you the time. Or having a Ferrari with a broken engine.
    Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep testing the iPhone and if it doesn't get better in a week I'm afraid I'm gonna have to return it and keep using the old 3G until reception problems with the iPhone 4 are solved.
