Playback in viewer and canvass broken since QT update

I have a Macbook (OS10.5.8) 4 GB RAM, running FCP 7.0.3 that I use to capture video when I'm on a dive trip. I am working with HDV 1080 captured from a Sony DC9 camera. Everything worked fine until I updated QT to 7.6.9. Now playback in the canvass and viewer is messed up. It looks grainy amd and almost like some channels(?) are missing. I tried trashing preferences but that didn't help. When I log and capture, the capture window plays normally. If I put the clips in iMovie, they play normally. If I put the clips in the QT player itself, they play normally. View in FCP is sent to RGB. When will I learn not to update things when everything is working OK. I can't believe my stupidity!

First, download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/) and delete your fcp preferences. May help. If that doesn't work, you could try converting your material to prores using compressor. Do a short test first to see if it solves the problem. It will take a while and use up a fair amount of drive space, but prores is a much better format to work with.
Then, once you have a stable, working OS and Application combo, make a bootable clone of your startup drive using something like carboncopycloner. Once you've done this, you can update OS and Apps with impunity. If things go south, you can simply clone back to your startup drive and be back at work in an hour or two. I've got a clone on a second internal drive so I can simply change my startup disk and be back at work in a couple of minutes.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7wifi drops all the time. What is the problem?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Have you went to Bose's support site?
Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset the Bose unit
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem then there is nothing you can do except see it Base has firmware update.

Live View and Inspect BROKEN in DW CS5 & Drupal

I successfully navigated through the confusing instructions for setting up a local Drupal website in Dreamweaver's site manager and was very excited the first time I did a "discover" and DW found all the Drupal files on my local testing server. Yay!
I was even more excited when I tried live view and was able to click on elements in my Drupal page and see the CSS properties displayed. (similar to how Firebug in Firefox works)
Unfortunately, my excitement didn't last. The property inspector in DW CS5 is BROKEN. When you click on a specific element on the page, the "live code" displayed for that selection is wrong. DW tends to select far more code than the actual element chosen. As a result, the CSS properties displayed in the CSS panels are wrong for that particular element. Most of the time, they are the properties for the element (<div>) that WRAPS the selected element.
This makes the wonderful, Live View Inspect TOTALLY USELESS, for Drupal development. Didn't Adobe actually TEST this app with Drupal before distributing it? I just spent $600 on an upgrade to CS5 for NOTHING!

Not sure how I could translate the problem into a plain html file, since all the elements of Drupal are served up from a database and php server. Even if I could, I suspect it wouldn't reproduce the problem, since I have no issue with the Inspect button on static html files. One thing to note is that the box model on the selected element seems to accurately reflect the proper CSS settings, even though live code and CSS panels do not. So the out-of-sync issue seems to be between the box model and the live code and CSS panels.
It would be worth your while to set up a live Drupal site. Admittedly, there are a ton of different things going on within a Drupal page, including javascript, which I suppose could throw things out of sync. (although turning off javascript didn't fix the problem) Since Drupal is all open source, it would be easy for me to send a zipped codefile and mysql dump to your developers. Or you could recreate a site from Drupal.org. I have tested this against several iterations of Drupal with several different themes, some simple and some complex, and the problem is pretty consistent, although it behaves slightly differently depending on the Drupal theme being used.
On some themes, Inspect picks LESS than the proper amount of code. On some themes, it picks MORE. My theory is that it's some kind of mathematical or array issue with DW, because Firebug can reliably render all my Drupal sites with no issues at all.
Using the Tag Selector is difficult in most cases, because the Inspect selector tends to select an "outer" div instead of the one that is correct, so the correct selection is not shown on the tag selector list. (since the tag selector only shows outer divs to the currently selected one.) The convoluted workaround is to select an element INSIDE of the targeted element, and then backtrack up the Tag Selector tree. Selecting the proper code with the Tag Selector DOES appear to render the proper CSS and Live Code, but you obviously lose one of the biggest advantages of live view, which is to quickly find the proper element and see the visual box model rendered live.
This one issue will severely limit the attractiveness of DW to Drupal developers. But if you can get it working, I will be singing Dreamweaver's praises all over Drupal.org!
UPDATE: One other clue I just discovered while using several other Drupal themes: When selecting an element, live code appears to miss the first div and instead pick the following div. Example: (note, I'm using parentheses instead of brackets since this forum strips brackets)
(div id=first_div)some kind of text
(/div)
(div class=second_div)more text(/div)
The live code selection is in bold italic. Live code starts selecting AFTER the first div marker and grabs the start of the next div.
Sure seems like a mis-applied array element to me.

Asset Generator broken since recent update to Photoshop CC

With this latest update to Photoshop CC, the asset generator no longer seems to support having masks on a folder - asset will NOT generate if this is the case. Seems the only work-around is to clip everything down to a shape layer, which is highly awkward. Is this a bug? Can it please be fixed? This used to work just fine and has only been broken since the most recent update.

My team is having the same issue. I'd love to hear about a fix to this.

IMAC mirroring is not working with my IMAC and Apple TV since last update

Hi friends,
since last update I am facing problems with my IMAC and airplay via apple tv to my HD TV screen. It is not working. Only audio but not video. I believe it has something to do with IMAC mirroring, which is not possible to select only expanded desktop. Airply on my TV is working with my IPAD, so it should be a problem with my IMAC only.
Did someone of You make the same experience or know what to do?
Thanx in advance

PDF viewing in Safari broken since Acrobat x (CS5.5) installation

I Installed creative suite 5.5 Design Premium, and since then Safari no longer tries to open PDF files. I get a white page only. Right clicking does result in the option to download the file which works. But I would like to restore the old behavior. any suggestions? OS 10.6.6 Safari 5.05.

Can you check if Safari is running in 64-bit mode? For this, right click on Safari application in /Applications and choose 'Get Info'. Try checking the option 'Open in 32-bit mode' and relaunching Safari. Does it work for you?

Iphoto and GarageBand broken since restore from backup

My main problem now is getting iPhoto and GarageBand to work. But below is some history of my problem:
My MackBook was returned today from the fixers. I had previously created an account for the engineers and wiped all the others. When I used Backup to restore it restored my account to the current engineers account! keeping the login name and password for the engineers account... at this stage a look in the finder showed me that only my account had been restored/backed up.. and as just mentioned with the wrong login details!!!!
I have resolved to wipe and reinstall OSX and then try to restore...... NO LUCK, NO copy of backup to restore from!!!! And I could not remember my airport pw (idiot!!) so couldn't download it!
Righty ho, I have the Web, Email and itunes working now.
But iPhoto & GarageBand do not start at all. What can I do to fix?
Btw I have reinstalled iPhoto to no avail.

Apple's tech support advised me to do an 'erase and install'. Then to try to perform a restore within Backup. If that failed I was asked to call back for further assistance. I was ok though and didn't need further help.
In a step by step way how things got fixed:
I booted from my OSX install disks that came with the computer, chose the option to erase the HD and perform a fresh install.
Installed the system and the bundled apps. (I did a custom install to choose only the software I wanted)
I then ran software update and got the mac up to date. Once done I tested all the Apple apps.. Restored my .mac data... all was now working YIPPIE!!!.
After that I hunted down and installed all 3rd party apps I had been using.
I used "http://www.versiontracker.com/macintel/" ...most apps I use were bought online or freeware, and the versiontracker website is the easiest route to find them all again.
I now had to get my data back. BackUp still showed it was missing although I knew my backed up files were valid.
I checked those backed up files were safe by right clicking on one of my backup packages (created by Apple's BackUp) and chose view package contents.
I then navigated my way to the "sparse image" file which will open just as a disk image (.dmg) would. Inside that I found my data from my user folder (which BackUp had reported not there). Opened up several files of various types to check such as jpegs, movies, text files and pdfs. I was not aiming to restore any applications from this back up.
I manually copied my files from the backup and put them in their relevant folders. I only copied things like my pics, movies, documents.
Ran "Disk Utility" and repaired permissions on my HD.
I Shut the Mac down and then booted up, logged in and all was fine and dandy.

Mail broken since security update 2008-004, multiple symptoms

Unfortunately, I can't sum this up in a snappy headline.
To get this started: the machine is an iMac 800MHz, which is running Mac OS X Server 10.4.11. It's not running Leopard, which might cure several issues, because it can't be installed on that machine.
The load is very light (low-traffic web site, DNS server for a low-traffic domain, mail server for essentially one user). I just mention this before I get the "you should not run this on an iMac" type of replies, which are not to the point. The computer ran Mac OS X Server ever since I got it years ago, and it can keep up with the load just fine. It can't keep up with the fragile nature of the Cyrus/postfix/whatever combination, which e.g. after a power outage, or worse, after a software update seems to leave the system semi-regularly in a state that's utterly undefined.
So the system was running very smoothly, for the first time in quite a while, until that security update 2008-004 came along. In installed it, rebooted the system, and now Mail service is down.
If I try to look at the settings for Mail with Server Admin, I get this error message:
"A Service has encountered an error - Try to refresh the view (MY.FIXED.IP.ADDRESS/Mail). Report the problem to the administrator if it persists. (Cannot allocate memory)"
Usually, when Mail acts up, I have this standard routine that I execute, and in 98% of cases that fixes everything:
+serveradmin stop mail+
+serveradmin stop mail+
+find /private/var/imap/socket/ -name "lock" -print -exec rm -rf {} \;+
+rm /private/var/imap/socket/lmtpunix*+
+rm /private//var/imap/socket/lmtp+
+sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb -r+
+sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/chk_cyrus+
+serveradmin start mail+
+serveradmin start mail+
+postfix check+
+postfix start+
Typically, when the ctl_cyrusdb -r runs, I see all the various IMAP folders listed as they are being processed. This is NOT happing now, even though if I navigate into /var/spool/imap/user/someUserName they are all there in the proper hierarchy
I ran DiskUtility's repair permissions, just in case something was screwed up by the ugprade. Also no dice.
Any hints highly appreciated...

Thanks for your suggestions. I knew that a full rebuild of the database would likely get things going again, and I ended up doing just that, because there server was reaching the point of down-time where permanent delivery failures would result if I didn't bring it back up.
The problem with the mailbox rebuild approach is, that all flags and read/unread status are lost, with is a MAJOR problem. I wish Apple's Mail had a feature where you can push cached message status back to the server, overriding server side message attributes with those cached on the client. Unfortunately this isn't available.
So Mail is running again, but I can't really consider this problem "solved" because all my flagged messages are unflagged, and all messages, read or unread, are now marked unread. If you have a mail archive of several GB dating back to the early 90s, then losing the flagged status on messages is a major issue, as is trying to ge a few hundred thousand messages to get unread again...
I do however take some exception to what you write:
pterobyte wrote:
You shouldn't have to rebuild your database after a restart or update. If you have to something is wrong on your server. A power outage is a different issue. Any database in the world can get inconsistent because of a sudden power cut. This is what an UPS is for.
That is akin to saying, it's OK if a file system is in a messed up state when the power goes down. That's what atomic operations, transactions, journaling, etc. were invented for. This day and age, there's no excuse for a database to end up in a messed up state because power went down, or for that matter, the system crashes, because no UPS will protect from the latter.
Critical systems, and mail delivery belongs to these, must handle failure gracefully, and the technology to do so, does exist.
pterobyte wrote:
Also, on OS X Server you should NOT use "postfix stop|start". Use Server Admin or launchctl to stop the launchd item. Furthermore, you should not manually interact with the Cyrus database and remove files. Cyrus is capable of handling its locks and sockets.
I know that this is how things SHOULD be. Unfortunately, postfix will not start properly when mail services are started with server admin. It will stop properly when I stop mail services though.
I had posted a question about that ages ago, but nobody could figure out what is going on. So in the mean time I have resigned to the fact that I have to start postfix manually after each reboot.
I'd more than happy to get past that issue. Here a link to my question regarding this matter:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=904736&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=908174&tstart=0
Similarly, I had once issus where cyrus would refuse to start up, and I found in some support forum the instructions to remove some of these lock files and pipes. That indeed got cyrus going again, and since it recreates these files automatically, I ended up adding the removal of these files to my "try this procedure if mail acts up" routine. It doesn't seem to harm the setup from what I can tell, and it has gotten a stuck system back to work more than once.

Color shift between viewer and browser after pro kit update

hi there,
i thought i be one of the lucky guys since updating and running 3.0.1 was easy on my system. but after yesterdays pro kit update i experience a weird color shift between the look of pictures in the browser and viewer.
there is a strong colorshift in orange parts of sundown pictures. they turn magenta in the viewer but stay orange in the browser. the difference can easily be seen in the split screen. even weirder if i export a picture from the vier/split screen the exported files show the magenta tint. if i export them from the browser, they have the "right" orange tint.
this happens with raw-files from both d200 and d70. also exportet the raw and processed it with ps cs3 and everything was ok. anyone got a clue?
thanx in advance

just found the explanation. after my prokit update, all raw-files needed to be reprocessed and then i needed to select the standard apple camera module for the d200. that was quite tricky and i don't understand why something like this happens. why do all files need to be reprocessed and than afterwards you would have to manually select the apple standard converter and why did the viewer look different than the browser and why is there no warning module that tell you all files will have to be reprocessed?

Phone freezing and almost unusable since software update - Help!

I am hoping someone can help. I have a Blackberry Q10 (work phone) and yesterday i downloaded the software update. I didnt notice any issues but when it rebooted it just froze on the home screen (i can see the time /wallpaper etc but cannot make any swipe gestures to move from this screen) I have tried re-booting/taking the battery out etc. I left the battery out last night and this morning plugged the phone into my laptop- that did occasionally free up the swipe function and i can occasionally get into BBM and Text (which are both working) but I can no longer view my email (i can see them in the hub but not read the actual message) and i cannot access my contacts or make or receive any calls. The phone still keeps freezing on the home page (it seems to free up momentarily if i connect to my laptop). the battery is draining very fast also. I am not very tech savvy at all, can anyone help me? (my phone provider is BT) Thanks N

Anyone? Battery has now completely drained and will only work if plugged into my laptop (it was charging yesterday)

On that last software update we (my family) have noticed on all our iPhone devices there is a huge gitch problem with our devices. My phone is an 4s but the other devices a brand new phones and they started since they updated the software they are having

A concern we've noticing since we have updated the lastest software... Our phone keep glitching and it's moving extremely slower than usual. I have the 4s and my kids have the newer phones 5c and the 5s. Is this a on going problem and if so when is it going to be fixed because this is terrible. Very disappointed customer. I was waiting on the newer iphone for myself but if apple can't get things straighten out with software I will have to consider your competitors. I have majority apple products and so far I am hating the issues I am having. Please fix soon. Thank you.
