Only part of some clips show up in Viewer. Please Help!
Hello FCE4 Experts:
I'm soooo baffled! I've been using FCE4 for three years and haven't had a problem. All of a sudden, a biggy! When I drag a clip into the Viewer window and play it, only a part of the clip has anything on it (the rest is black and silent). For example, a clip might be 25 seconds, but for the first 10 secs, I get just black, and for the last, say, 4 secs I get black. This has never happened before, ever! Anyone have any ideas?
The ONLY thing I've done different lately is that I recently purchased a second external hard drive and have been switching between them for different projects. Could this cause a weird problem like this, or is it due to something else?
Thanks very much for any advice!
Vic
UPDATE!
I've checked it out further, and here's what I've discovered:
When I ingested segments of my clips (not directly from my camera, but rather from a DVD back-up disk... which is what I did in this case), it seems that the segments do get ingested in a useable form, but along with each segment comes long periods of black/silent video. Weird!
So, my guess it that, when I'm ingesting only short segments of my clips, I'll need to do it directly from my camera.
FYI: I can ingest the FULL clips (from the DVDs), no problem. It's when I ingest segments of the clips (from the DVDs) that I get weird stuff going on. [And, ingesting from the camera works fine whether I ingest a full or partial clip. It's only when ingesting from back-up DVDs that I have any problems.]
Anyways, that's what seems to be going on. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear 'em!
Thanks!
Vixter
Note: I'm using a Canon HF-10 along with the optional Canon DW-100 DVD back-up burner.

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box. Thanks! Olga
If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit. Please help.
I am a non profit. I ordered Photo shop Elements12 for PC for my office. It is a download only. It doesn't dowload on my computer. It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit. Please help. The Adobe photoshop elements 12 is useless to me. I can't seem to get anyone at Techsoup to help and trying to get Adobe to help is runaround. What should I do to get it to run on my computer. Please someone in the forum let me know how switch out the download for the correct one.
64-bit windows can run 32-bit applications just fine and always has. They are just limited to a small amount of memory. If something isn’t working it’s likely another problem like an incomplete download or trying to install the Mac version on a PC or something like that.
You can try downloading and installing from the PSE12 link, here, to see if it works any better:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
If you can’t get things to work, then please post a screenshot of the error and a description of what you’re trying to do that lead to the error.
Also the term “downloading” refers to transferring a file from a remote server, across the internet, to your local computer. The term “install” means running the program that was downloaded on your local computer to put the working program on your computer that you can run.
It would be helpful to know if your saying that the actual transfer across the internet part isn’t working, or if that part seemed to work, but when you run that installer program you’re seeing an error. -

I seem to have lost carrier settings on my iPad1,I've tried a restore and update but get a message about the original sim card,which I still have but is inactive,really inconvenient as I can only use in wifi spots and off line mode,please help,sibear.
You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS! -

Hello there Unicornbarf534,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
General installation troubleshooting
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
3. Install the latest version of iTunes
Additional troubleshooting
After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
3. Get the latest Windows updates
4. Disable other conflicting software
Additional Information
If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
All the best,

Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).
