Only certain sequences can use External DV device to play back/preview?

Hi there,
I'm still working on understanding this HD workflow... Using an HMC40 avccam I shot some PH720 60P footage. After importing to Premiere Pro CS5 I created a timeline following the guides in http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/pdfs/cs5_production_premium_avccam_ wfg.pdf . I found that none of my 60p (or 59.94) sequences give me the option to show realtime playback on my external dv camera. It simply shows "None" as the option for the external device. While 30p (29.97) sequences show up just fine.
Is there a reason for this or is there a work around? I have only played with these few formats so I don't know what else can and cannot be output via firewire to my mindv camera.
Thank you!
-Stephen

Thanks for the reply. I am confused as to why I can view SOME HD sequences but not all via the firewire connection. I am not concerned with seeing HD quality through the minidv camera but it goes to a tv that is usefull to see full screen for coloring and effect previewing. It's nice to see the footage on both LCD and a tube television.
It just seems odd that one sequence can work while the other cannot but I assume it is directly related to 24p vs. 30p vs 60p etc. I haven't seen this in the help file so that's why I asking here. I just want to be sure it's a standard thing and that nothing is wrong on my end... and maybe an explanation so I understand it a bit better...
Thanks!

ITunes 90 day lock out on iMac - only one AppleID can use a Mac at any one time?

Just found out, the hard way, about Apple's patently ridiculous "90 Day Lockout" policy on iTunes (Match, Purchases download and pretty much ALL the useful features).
Apparently, at least according to Support - who feigned surprise that this was an issue - if you blow £1,200 on an iMac to be used by two people in your home and have paid Apple an extra £25 a head for iTunes Match, you're terribly gullible. And stupid. And a potential music thief.
The real problem is that Apple, probably in a bid to secure record label agreement to iTunes Match and in a vain attempt to curb unlawful music sharing, has decided that NO MORE THAN ONE APPLE ID can be associated with a machine ID at any one time, for iTunes purposes.
This is fine on iPhone, iPod Touch and even iPad. Those are hardware that only one person can use at a time - there is no "multi-user" capability.
Macs, though, are a different matter. In Apple World we're all filthy rich and each member of a household is expected to own a separate Mac machine (iMac, MacBook Pro or Air) to be able to use the functionality and music they've paid for in iTunes and via Match.
If you're stupid or poor or just think a Mac per person in a household is consumerism gone mad, you are stuffed.
In our case we bought an iMac. Set up two separate and distinct User IDs and one of us set up iTunes and activated iTunes Match.
Next day the other went into their User account, set up iTunes and then activated iTunes Match. A very very vague message popped up alluding to "transferring an Apple ID to this machine" and referencing inability to use this AppleID on another machine for 90 days. That seemed OK. The AppleID had been associated on an old Compaq netbook for iTunes, so the assumption was that it was that association that was being transferred to the iMac.
WRONG!
What had happened was that the second person to sign in to the iMac and set up their TOTALLY SEPERATE AppleID on a TOTALLY SEPERATE iTunes Match library and account had effectively locked out the first user from their iTunes account.
So, if you're a family with individual iTunes accounts and iTunes Match don't bother with Apple Mac products. For the cash you spend on one mac product that only one of you will be able to use iTunes on EVERY 90 DAYS, you'd be better off buying separate, higher spec Windo$e laptops to sync with.
Apple has really really fouled up on this.
Support initially justified this lock out policy as being to prevent Johnny Fileshare from zipping round to his mate's house, logging into iTunes with his AppleID on his mates PC or Mac and downloading his paid for iTunes library onto his mates Mac as a gift.
Just how likely such a random outburst of philanthropy at the expense of record labels would be is beyond me.
During a near two hour call with support (use the Call Me function - at least the call is free) eventually, after an escalation, the tech agreed that the 90 days AppleID lock was pointless as Apple themselves publish details in their knowledge base on how to circumvent music sharing restrictions and combine iTunes libraries - even helpfully including details of how to put said combined iTunes library on a memory stick. Johnny Fileshare can then nip round his mates house and share his iTunes content with his mate until the cows come home.
Even worse, Apple even allow you to burn to CD a combined iTunes library up to FIVE TIMES!
But, when it comes to logging into your own iTunes account on a shared Mac? Forget it matey. You'll steal music and can't be trusted.
Well FU too, Apple.
But wait! You may think you're OK because you weren't foolish enough to hand over £25 for iTunes Match...
BEWARE: THE 90 DAY LOCKOUT IS ACTIVATED THE SECOND A USER ON A MAC ACTIVATES EITHER:
1. Automatic downloads, or
2 iTunes Match
OR IF THEY HAVE THE TEMERITY TO:
1. Check previous purchases
THIS RENDERS ITUNES AS A PRODUCT/SERVICE WORSE THAN USELESS ON SHARED MACS.
We have 82 days to wait for one of us to regain access to the library that cost us a fortune to build in iTunes.
1 Week old iMac is being boxed up & returned to Apple Store.
Two high spec non Apple laptops being bought as a replacement. The change to be spent on petrol or pasties - which ever the UK is running out of most...

Yes, I am having this problem because I have 2 Apple IDs/iTunes accounts. Mind you, I don't want 2 accounts but Apple forced me to make a new apple ID when they started requiring email addresses as user ID. This was the first big mistake that Apple made. Their second mistake was not allowing people to simply merge these accounts. Had they not made these mistakes initially, many people would still only have one Apple account/ID. Some bloke ought to lose his job over that.
However, I understand this isn't the same problem as having multiple household members using the same computer. It seems that Apple could figure this all out by either authorizing multiple users at the time of purchase, or allowing a handful of users to download to one computer. After all, if I bought a hard copy of a music CD, I could certainly allow my son or daughter to listen to it or download it to their computer. Next thing you know, I'll have to sign a release saying that I am the only person that uses my iPod.
I am also returning not just one but 2 brand new Mac computers ($4500 coming back from Apple to my wallet) because I am so fed up with the poor customer service response that Apple has given this problem. Not only did they take a ton of my money for iTUnes songs, but then they restricted my access to those songs. I think it's criminal and I wouldn't be surprised if this issue ended up as a class action wrongdoing suit. I have to admit I've considered talking to a lawyer about it myself. I am so sick of large monopolizing companies thinking that they can treat their customers poorly and expect us to sit back and take it. The good news is that this is a free country and I can choose to throw my money at any old company I choose..........Toshiba here I come.

TS3536 I still dont see a file sharing tab and I want to use it for my mixer app, I made some ringtones and thats the only way I can use it

I cant see the filing sharing on itunes and I was wanting to get some ringtones and thats the only way I can use them, where is the filing sharing thing at? even when I sync my phone I cant seee it

File sharing appears at the bottom of the device's apps tab i.e. the tab that you use to select which apps to sync to the device. Connect the iPhone to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and scroll to the bottom of the Apps tab on the right-hand side.
File sharing : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

Hello Renvin29,
It sounds like you need to disable your iPhone remotely. I'm sorry to hear about your phone! The only way to do this with is Apple services is if you had Find my iPhone enabled. You have 2 options:
You can use this article to put the phone into Lost Mode and preserve your data on it, but prevent access to it:
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
Or you can just erase it remotely outright:
iCloud: Erase your device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2701
You should also take a look at this article for additional info on what to do about this situation:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Mixing when using external midi devices . . .

Hi,
This is the first time I'm mixing a project using an external midi device. Formerly, using an older version of DP, I would record each track from the midi device into an audio track before mixing because those tracks don't "bounce" when mixing. Anybody here who uses external devices do it differently?
Thanks, josf

Using the external I/O plug in you can bounce your external midi instruments to audio tracks in realtime in logic, but you have to add the New multi instrument in the environment so that it can be represented in the external destination parameter of the EXternal I/O plug in.
At least I think this is how things work. You also need an audio interface with the outs of your hardware to the ins of the inputs and the midi cables configured.
But.. I think there is a latency issue there.. anyone know how to compensate for this? Like if I bounce a track in realtime in logic.. it records the time that it takes the audio to "get into" the software.. It never bounces a track right on the beat, as if I were to bounce a track from say the EXS sampler.. When I do it inside logic it bounces it right on the beat.. with no "dead space" beforehand.. but if I use external equipment there is always a lag.. any suggestions?

How can I tell how big an SD card I can use in my device.

I bought my Sansa clip probably five years or more ago, and want to add an SD card to it, but I can't find where the data is on just how large an SDcard I can use. Any ideas on where to look on my device??? The Version # is V01.02.15A and it was made in 2009. Thanks in advance.

32GB will work BUT you need to format it to FAT32.
Depending on what version of WIndows you have, you may need to get a third-party program or force it to format to FAT32.
Here's one how-to.
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/formatting-external-hard-drive-to-fat-32/
Also, the Sansa firmware was made before there were such large storage cards, and it may not be able to show all the files on the card if you have a whole lot of small files.
That's because there is a limit on the size of the database, which reads information from the files--Artist, Album, Title, etc.--and makes an index from them. It will show thousands of songs, and I have filled a 32GB card and had it show every song.
But...there is a character limit on the size of that index, and many people have run up against it. It's not an exact number of files; every letter makes a difference, so if your Artist listing is Rolling Stones rather than The Rolling Stones you might be able to show a few more files.
You can see if you have that problem when you use the card because your listings (Album, Artist) will stop before the end of the alphabet.
If you do have too many songs for the Sansa to show, you can get different firmware at www.rockbox.org that can handle a much larger (possibly unlimited--I don't know) database. Read up on it before installing--it sits alongside the Sansa firmware so you can switch between them.

No audio (only video) on external DV device when playing timeline

I have recently switched from using Premiere 1.5 to Premiere CS3, two days ago.
Before I installed the new Premiere CS3 software, I had the basic DV configuration for my system.
Sony MINI DV deck--talks to computer via firewire
--talks to output monitor via RCA cables
Computer--talks to Sony MINI DV deck (via same firewire)
--talks to external HD
--external standard computer speakers
I was editing on Premiere 1.5 and this enabled me to capture as well as playback the timeline, so that the timeline would show up in my Sony MINI DV deck (as well as output monitor, if turned on) and I could record onto MINI DV tapes.
I just installed Premiere CS3 two days ago and have not changed anything in my setup configuration. I WAS not able to get video until I clicked on the record monitor and changed my playback settings. NOW I can see the timeline play back in my Sony MINI DV deck and I can record onto a MINI DV BUT now I still do not have any Audio.
I have played with the various possibilities in the "playback settings" dialogue box but I am still unable to hear any audio on the MINI DV deck, nor on the tape when I play it back.

Than you Jim!
I have been using AVID for the past nearly four years and the past three months is my first time with Adobe NLE software and I have yet to learn all of its quirks! You have NO idea how much I appreciate it! I'm currently serving as a military news broadcaster, in Iraq, and I had a story deadline to meet this afternoon. Thank you again!

Can I Lock an Ipod So That Only One Computer Can Use It?

So I just bought my grandma an ipod and plan on putting all of her music and such on it for her. What I want to do is make it so that only my computer can access the files and if another computer tried to use the ipod it would lock, I don't want to use the screen lock either. Is there any way to do this through iTunes or not? Thanks alot.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
Dear jmentzer262,
Your brilliant plan cannot be put into action I'm afraid. Apple have not seen fit to include this feature. I'm so sorry that we cannot help you implement this.
There is no doubt that we here are not worthy, and I for one will try my utmost to do better in answering any of your questions in the future.
I understand that when answering a question it is not sufficient to say "it can't be done", as I realise that when dealing with someone is so sensitive we must temper our replies accordingly.
Please accept my humble apologies for my "attitude" and you can rest assured that I have punished myself severely for this unacceptable lapse of judgement. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

IPhone missing izzit can use GPS or other to find back IPhone? HELP!!!!!!!!

Hi , Im Sleve .
Last night i rob by robber , now my IPhone 3GS is gone T.T
Anyone can tell me any idea can help me use GPS or other to find back my phone??
HELP ME!!!
Thank You

Only if you had MobileMe then you can use the "Find my iPhone" feature. I honestly can't think of another way.

Select audio device to play back sound

flash media server ,provide property Microphone.names that
retrieves an array of strings reflecting the names of all available
sound capture devices.
is there is any property that detect output device attached
to system so i can select which one to play back sound.
for example:-
i need to play back mp3 file in flash.
but i have more one output device installed in my pc.
the question is:-
is there is any way for falsh to list all (or detects) audio
output device installed in my pc then let me pick one of them to
play back sound by selected output device?
thanks ...........plz don't late to replay me

This is a a delayed response to this discussion but I thought I would share my problem with this.
I have a USB audio interface, which I have configured as the default sound device on my iMac (OSX Lion). This works well in all applications, except Flash.
I have the device configured at quite a high bit rate.
Flash doesn't like this - it makes very strange noises. The only work around I have found is to disable the sound interface when I am working in Flash, and use the built in speakers on my iMac.
It works, but I'm the kind of guy that likes things to just work =)
e.g. if iTunes can play mp3s through my sound interface, why can't Flash?
To be honest I think Adobe need to do a lot of work on the audio side of things with Flash. Not just playback - something a bit more flexible like Premier would be cool. Flash isn't dead yet. Come on Adobe!
A lot of the work I am doing at the moment requires building animation to a pre-recorded audio file.

Is this the only tablet that can use iTunes? Or can you use Android Tablets with iTunes?

I'm looking into buying a tablet... But can i get my music from iTunes onto different tablets like the android 2.2...? Or just iPads? Can someone please help?! I'm going black friday shopping soon...!

Nope, I personally do not like android.
I find it to be annoying in a lot of little ways.
I have used both a phone(galaxy s) and have a cheap tablet(archos 70).
The only reason to get an android device is if you can not live without being able to fiddle with 100's of different settings, widgets, screen animations, etc to totally customize the device or you cannot afford an iPad and will accept one of the cheaper tablets realizing you are getting a pretty poor substitute.
In the case of cheap tablet-Nook Color tablet is probably best choice. In another month or so xda will crack it and have some really good ROMs for it.

Using External Audio Device for FCP X

Hi,
How do I use my external audio hardware(RTA, MOTU, D01 Jünger) via firewire with FCP X?
It plays through Mac out only.

Satellite A200: Cannot use external USB devices properly

I encountered a problem with my Toshiba notebook and i can't fix it and I am in need your help please..
The problem is that when i connect a USB portable device (external USB harddisk , iPod ,Flash memory ..etc) with more than 8GB of Memory..
It's not properly installed in device manager and appears under "universal serial bus controller ".
But it doesn't say that it's an unknown device. It appears normally with its name, but it's not properly installed (it doesn't say that either ) where it is supposed to be under a specific category (harddisk under "disk drives" , camera under "imaging devices " and so on )
And i can't use the device because the HDD doesn't appear in "My computer" and my iPod can't be used
I'd like to inform you that this problem is with all USB devices with more than 8GB of memory.
Not just one device. I tried many devices to make sure that it's not a problem with the device.
So it's a problem with my laptop and i installed Windows many times with no progress.
Thanks for your help in advance ..

Is it XP or Vista?
If its XP, ensure you have at least Service Pack 2.
This hotfix may help XP see high capacity media:

but that wouldn't really affect external USB HDD's.

The window where Domain Name, Edit, Modify doesn't show up to access my Fatcow website on my new iMac in Firefox (the only browser Macs can use). Help!

Just got a new iMac. For the first few days, I was able to log in to, then access the window in Fatcow web host that allows me to make changes to my website. Now, the window that is supposed to say "Domain Name" and "Edit" and "Modify" is blank, so I cannot access my website to make changes. Firefox is the only browser available to Macs through Fatcow. In the two weeks before getting the iMac, I had the same problem on an Acer laptop. Hughesnet is our internet provider, since we live in the country. I have worked with several Fatcow techs, and they do not believe the problem is on their end. When I open Firefox, there is now also a message that says I'm missing plugins, yet when I follow the plugin link, no plugins are listed as missing. I have removed/reinstalled Firefox, to no avail. I have turned off the clear-cookies-automatically add-on, cleared the cache and history, etc., to no avail. I have printed out the HTML script for the Fatcow window from my Mac at work (from which I can access the window) and compared to the one at home. There doesn't appear to be any script missing, but I can't say for sure. I have read several articles, hoping for clues to fixing this problem. Now I need your technical expertise. HELP!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
