Performance and import stuff - should I buy this program?

hey guys,
as I was looking for a easy-to-use program for my video workshops with kids I stumbled upon premiere elements.
looks cool, but some things puzzle me:
1) I´m trying it on a brand new i7 notebook, but its running as slow as if I´d be using tons of material and a 10 year old mashine.
(there is only one pal video (15sec) and 10 photos. the project settings are the same as the video)
2) when I want to import a soundfile from a SD card, he only lets me import via "video importer".first he lets me choose the file in the browser, then he says "you want to import from a removable media, use the video importer"? do I have to copy it to harddrive first? unnessecary step.
and then, in the video import window, he shows me all files on the card, checked, so if I click "import", he loads all the stuff on the card, again. so I uncheck everything, but there is not the wave-file I recorded and chose 1 minute ago in the browser, just all the mp3s and videos...
this is pretty f**ked up and counter-intuitive.
can someone tell me solutions for that?
otherwise I simply cant buy 10 licences for a program that makes every single kid ask me how to import and stuff.

What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it?
When you started your Premiere Elements project, which settings did you select? If you've selected the correct project settings, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is this the case in your project?
The key to efficiency with this program is matching your project settings to your source video, as discussed in the first two parts of my free 8 part Basic Training tutorial series.

When I try to import files from iMac HDD into the event, it fails. FCPX dosn't see this files for import. Files are *.m2ts and *.mpg. Should I buy plagin Quicktime component MPEG-2 to resolve a problem?

no you should transcode those files into an format that os suitable for editing. Like proRez. Although you might need some Flip4Mac or perian or something to do the conversion.

If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it. It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work. How can I expedite this process?

Has it been 24 hours?
I take it this was a gift card. iTunes Store: Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement.

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

I use Firefox 6.0.2. When I shut the browser and try to reopen it I get a message saying that Firefox is still running and that I should reboot. This happens constantly. Why does this happen and is there a way around it?

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

Depends
If you need a cellphone then No.
If he wants more than $1 then No.
I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

You can only return the machine if you're within 14 days of purchase - otherwise you're just 'stuck' with what you purchased (unless you sell it, of course).
I always recommend that Retina owners order 16GB of RAM as the RAM is not upgradable - it's soldered onto the logic board.
Your call - if you're with 14 days of purchase, take it back and exchange for a 16GB model. Or sell it and buy a model with 16GB. The higher amount of memory will allow you to run far more memory-hungry apps concurrently.
Good luck,

Graphics Concern Performance of 13" Retina--Should I Buy 13" Pro Retina

I recently bought a 13" Air and now with the recent price drop of the 13" Pro, I'm considering taking my Air back and getting the 13" Retina Pro because I really like the display.
I'm concerned about the performance issues of the Retina Pro, more specifically the Intel 4000 graphics. Some reviews have said there are no issues, others have said the 13" Pro suffers performance problems.
I've also read that some websites look awful with the retina display.
I've tested it out in the store and didn't really see any issues.
I don't use my laptop for gaming, but rather internet browser use, word processing, and Keynote.
Should I stick with my Air or do you reccommend upgrading to the 13" Retina Pro?

I see you are choosing from the refurbished units. Good move.
I would concentrate on RAM size, SSD size and of course price. In my opinion those are bigger factors than the difference in GPUs.
4 GB of RAM is sufficient of most programs but some applications do better in 8 GB. You cannot upgrade RAM and memory demands are likely to grow over time. So 8 GB is future proofing the system.
A big question is do you need 128 or 256 GB of SSD? How much storage do you use now? How much more are you likely to use (more music, photos, videos…)? If this will be near 100 GB then I would opt for 256 GBs of SSD. The SSDs are not upgradeable while under warranty.
Refurbished, Feb-2013, 8 GB, 256 GB, Intel HD Graphics 4000: $1,230. <<<- #1 In your list
Refurbished, Oct-2013, 4 GB, 128 GB, Intel Iris Graphics: $1,100. <<<- #2 in your list
For the difference of $170 I would choose the 8/256 GB model.

Firefox crashes when I try to use DataLoad, and I was able to use this program a month ago.

In the recent past I have been able to use a program called DATALOAD (shareware) to load data into Firefox web forms (specifically web based sales tax returns).
However, now every time I try it now Firefox crashes, so I am forced to use IE (which I hate). The last time I used Dataload was in April 2011 (for my quarterly tax returns).
On of the latest updates to Firefox must have a conflict with this program.
Can you please research to see what changed in Firefox to make it crash when using Dataload? I do not want to use IE if I do not have to.

I recently purchased Adobe ExportPDF Annual and I'm unable to use this program to print a contract.

I Earlier today I purchased Adobe ExportPDF Annual and I need help with using this ptrogram.

This is a one sided Conversation. There is no feed back on Questions from ADOBE. I'm anew subcriber and ready to cancel Adobe and close my account.

When I open a pdf from email source or online it deletes my authorization and I get a message saying this program is not authorized. You need to uninstall and reinstall.

Saying this program is not authorized. You need to uninstall it and reinstall. This is getting old. Any way to fix it?@

This is Acrobat9 Pro. Has worked fine until very recent when this started happening.

Performance and import stuff - should I buy this program?
