Photo settings displaying black preview with all pictures - please help!
I started working on my first "real" movie last night - got got my iMac 2 weeks ago. Before I was just messing around trying to learn the software. I got 20 pictures done (out of 400), I know that doesn't sound like a whole lot-- got done, but anyways. Things were working and looking great! I was really starting to enjoy iMovie!
Today however I went back to my computer, (didn't shut down iMovie last night) and now the preview screen of the image when you play with the Ken Burns effects in the photo settings isn't displaying the image, instead it's just displays a black screen. I tried this with a newly imported image and an image I had worked on last night using the Kens Burns effects, but it displays the same results... a black scree
I have tried selecting all of the images, music and transitions copying them and thinking I could paste them into a new movie, but of it does the same thing in the new movie. I have also tried to import my movie into a new movie, shut down both iMovie and my computer. Nothing is working.
Because I'm on a very tight deadline (Tuesday), I decided I would just start over completely. After I got 10 pictures done, it did it again in the new movie!
I bought my imac because of all the great things people have told me about iMovie (I've only worked on Windows in the past) I really like my iMac but these problems have really frustrated me!!!
Responses would be GREATLY appreciated!

It's not clear from your description whether this has happened, but be aware there's a bug in iMovie 6 that will cause the black screen after you empty the iMovie Trash.
iMovie 6 (incorrectly) discards its copy of the source image when you empty the Trash. It stores the copy inside the project when you import the photo. After you empty the Trash the image is no longer available. You can't UPDATE the clip. When you do, it turns black.
So if photos in the Photo list import properly but the photos of EXISTING clips are not updated correctly, that may be why. The solution is to not empty the iMovie Trash.
In addition, it's necessary for the disk the project resides on to use the Mac OS Extended disk format. If you use an external drive that has a different format, iMovie can't properly save to the drive.
It's also possible there are third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime add-ons installed on your Mac causing problems for iMovie.
Those factors are discussed here:

4g Ipod touch is stuck on black screen with apple logo, please help!
i have a 4G ipod touch, while downloading an app it froze and i restarted it using the home and sleep buttons. now its stuck on a black screen with the apple logo. Ive tried to restart it again, plug it into the computer and do what all the forums say but none have worked. When i plug the ipod into the computer and restart it, itll stay on the black screen for 5-10 minutes then flash to a white screen and restart itself all over again, any ideas how to fix this problem? thanks
Well it depends if you restore from a backup or not (if you have any). Try restoring from a backup first. If the problem still continues, then you'll need to set it up as a new iPod, meaning you would lose the content stored on your iPod including, music, videos, apps, app data, etc.
See this article for what is included in a backup.

And see this article for assistance on restoring your iPod from a backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Either content, such as your music, movies, apps, etc should still be in your iTunes library as well. So you should be able to sync it back over to the iPod once you have restored it.

I'm triyng to create a website with Muse and first it seems to be easy.
I use a free template, and now I'm designing the page master but the problem is when I try to preview it appears like the picture I enclosed.
The target appearance is in the second file enclosed.

I tried to find a solution by myself but I can't find what's the problem...I tried to preview in an another screen and browser but it's the same problem...
Can somebody help me please? It will save me...this is my first work project ever and I want to do it well !
Thank youHi
As you are using a very wide page 2000+ , browser adds a scroll to view the page content.
Please try to scale down the page width and height which will solve the issue.
You can set width and height from page properties but if you add contents then page will stretch according to the page elements added.
Thanks,

Form Not saving with all information, Please Help!
I received a form that I need to fill out and save, apparently it was created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0, Acrobat Pro says that it is an XML form.
Adobe Reader says that it cannot save the form which is fine because I have Adobe Acrobat Pro.
However when I fill out the form in Acrobat Pro and save as it only saves the first line of data, all the rest of the data disappears.
I have tried extending the features of the form so that it can be saved from adobe reader. I can now save the form in adobe reader but I still only saves the first line of information.
The form has some calculations in it, it adds up the number of items and gives you a total. It also works out a total cost based on the price you input.
I dont know if that makes and difference. Im going insane, does anyone know why its only saving the first line of data?
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Kirsten
I forgot to add that I work on a mac
Message was edited by: Kirst85Hi Kirsten,
I have the form now and here it is back: https://acrobat.com/#d=wIDUGtoBqeVCOauJ8m*Z2g
Its not 100% fixed because there are a few things going on. First there is part of a data connection in the form, where objects in the first row are bound to the data connection, but it does not appear to exist. Can you confirm if you are using a data connection to interact with a database?
All of the objects were on the Master page and there wasn't a design page at all. I have moved the table to a design page.
I have set the 'preserve script changes' to auto. I have not changed the binding, as I am not sure what your data requirements are. Also there is script that appears to be an open error that I think is part of the legacy data connection.
If you can give a bit more information we should be able to get the form working fully.

LR3.3 error in common photo settings display
I observe this only with Canon G12: In many cases the Common Photo Settings display the "mm" unit and closing parenthesis in white without the otherwise common shadow, and the "mm)" will be repeated in black in the line below. This is a typical example of this malfunction:

Anyone else seeing this or have any idea ?OK after a little digging I figured out the problem. The VLC plugin was causing a problem. Possible related to the security update. I removed the file

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

My MacBook Pro got wet and I lost all of my childs photos from the day she was born. Is there anyway I could get these pictures back from my iCloud? I actually care more for getting the photos back than I do my laptop. Please help! Thank
Welcome to the Apple community khnkOliver.
I assume these photos, or at least not all of them weren't in photo stream.
You should be able to recover your photos from a back up. -
My ipad is frozen with a black screen with a picture of a cord leading to the itunes icon. i tried to shut down my ipad but the turn off icon wont show instead the itunes icon with the cord keeps coming out everytime i open my ipad. what should i do ? and i dont want to lose my pictures, videos and other documents in my ipad please help me ....
I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.
Take a look at this.

How do I most efficiently export photos on their original format with all metadata and adjustments applied? I am looking for a solution for exporting corrected photos between computers with Lightroom 5 installed. Preferably with no exporting or merging of catalogs.
Thanks in advance for you support,
JP JacobsenAnd yet exporting a catalog is the perfect solution for communicating with another LR catalog...
But if you really want to export photos , File>Export should work. I guess I don't really understand what your concerns are. -
My iPhone broke on holiday and I didn't back up iCloud, is there anyway I can retrieve my photos? Also I tried connecting it to iTunes but my laptop won't pick it up at all! Please help!
I took it to a ohone shop today and they're going to try and fix the phone without altering the memory, but apparently that's quite hard to do with IPhones
That will void any support from Apple. If you take the device to an Apple store you would be able to get an out of warranty replacement. A third party shop may make things worse and end up costing you more. Apple does not sell parts so all the third party shop will be able to use are parts from damaged or stolen devices. If the third party shop cannot fix the device you will have to pay full price for a replacement phone rather than the discounted price from Apple. -
My iPod and iPhone are not recognized in Windows 7 iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes and restarted windows. Now iPod briefly displays, then device manager mass storage shows a yellow exclamation point. iPhone doesn't display in iTunes at all. Please advise
Try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update. See also TS1363: iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes.
