Please help: the red x of death

Hi all,
I'm new to Color (yes I'm aware my mac is not ideal, but I'm on a budget). I'm having trouble sending sequences from FCP2 to Color. I have tried directly sending to Color from FCP, and also exporting XMLs and importing to Color. In FCP the clips are compressed either as Animations or Motion JPEG A. The original footage is DV/DVCPRO NTSC, 854x480. The animations are mostly rendered .movs from After Effects CS3, either 720x480 or 720x486. The AE clips move into Color fine, but the NTSC clips won't. What doesn't it like? Help!!
Note: I bought FCS used from a friend, and he didn't have any manuals- just in case anyone felt like pointing me to one, I don't have it =(

The manuals are all on-line, both under the Help menu within FCP and as downloadable pdfs.
The books, stacked flat are a foot tall. Riveting, though.
COLOR will not work with either Animation or jpg... certainly not stills. It is particularly bad with highly compressed formats, and mixed dimensions are a spectacularly good recipe for disaster.
Unless you are looking for something really specific, and you are also new to FCP, you should try to avoid the very perilous round trip in and out of COLOR and stay with the 3-way corrector filter in FCP.
Its rudimentary in some ways... but you're not under ideal conditions as you mentioned. COLOR likes ideal conditions.

How do I fix the red screen of death issue?

iPad Air, 13 mo. old: working fine yesterday, plugged it in to charge (left it on) and about 8 hrs later I went to use it. When I opened the case, I had the red screen of death. No error messages, can't see any of the icons. just red screen. I finally got it to turn off using the home and off button. turning back on goes right to red screen. Attempted multiple times to restore using iTunes. Each time it gets stuck in "waiting for iPad to respond"? Anyone have a fix?

Hello konagirl64,
It may help to put your iPad into recovery mode prior to restoring.

Please help the elderly (me). I took pics on my IPhone and need to get the pics up onto craigslist. Can someone please walk me through this process. I plugged my iphone into the usb port of my windows7 desktop computer and now I am lost!

If you have forgotten the iPad passcode and you cannot unlock the device, you have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your iTunes content. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

Error msg,please help :) "The item you tried to buy is no longer available"

Hi there, I am using a Macbook pro with Leopard with the newest version of iTunes. Many, many times when I have tried to purchase the newest episode of LOST, I click 'purchase' and type in my information and click 'yes', and for an instant it says 'purchasing' and shows the striped purchasing par across the top for only an instant, and then that disappears and an error message comes up, saying
"The item you tried to buy is no longer available.
The availability of the item changed while you were using the store.
The same item may be available with a different price or elsewhere
on the store."
In past weeks, I have been eventually able to purchase the episode, after trying to purchase and receiving the same error literally hundreds of times. Why do I try hundreds of times? Because I want to see LOST! And I will have to face the wrath of my disappointed housemates if I fail to present the episode in time. But this is very, very, very, very frustrating! Please help, iTunes! Or anyone, any help will be greatly appreciated. But this glitch has been going on literally for weeks/months! I expected it to be ironed out and fixed completely by now, but it is not at all, it is just as bad as it was when I first noticed it shortly after the beginning of LOST season 4, a few months ago.
Also, when I try to email iTunes, I am sure that I can email iTunes if I finally pick a subject that does not apply, but I do not want to do that.
It is also very, very, very frustrating, whenever trying to email iTunes, to be forced into picking a subject from a very, very limited menu. Many questions, such as this question, do not fit at all into any of the choices presented, from which a person is forced to choose a subject, before being allowed to type an email to iTunes.
I look forward to any help anyone can give regarding this error message, so that I will be able to purchase the new LOST episode from iTunes. Thanks for your help!

I had the same issue this morning downloading a pre-order of Alanis, Flavors of Entanglement . I noticed that the only thing that had changed fro me was that I had some song credits for purchasing ticketmaster tickets over the past few weeks. When I went ahead and spent my remaining credits... it downloaded with no prompting or trouble. Maybe the credits issues hangs it up?

It just doesn't add up... Please help the beginner

Hi all of you who are experts in Appleworks. I am a graphic artist and Mac user since '89. I do a lot with iMovie and iPhoto and Indesign but you think I can figure out the simplest thing in Appleworks!? I've read over the AppleHelp and try what it says and can't make it work. All I want is in a simple data base I made for my business, I have about 6 columns that I set up to be numeric and dollars with 2 decimals so I can enter monthly amounts. I want the column to ADD automatically and I know this is probably Appleworks "101" Why can't I make it work. I have a horizontal row with "Total" and along that row, under each column, I want the total of what I put in each cell above it to ADD! I know you enter a formula. I go to the box and type the = sign, then SUM, then you put in parenthesis A1,A,2 etc. right? I always gives me the alert that I entered the wrong formula.. or sometimes it says it can't complete something circular..or something like that. I think I set the field to "summary" too not "calculate" Why won't it work? I know it should! I did it in an old Microsoft works program. I ONLY use this type of software to keep a chart of my business expenses and my monthly earnings and then make a data base of my friends/family addresses, so I really don't need to know lots of complicated formulas... just ADD a column! Any tips from any of you? I read the instructions and do it step by step and it won't work! Please help! Give me the steps. THANKS so much for your time!!!

Hi Rollie,
Like the others who have posted here, I think the task you've set is more easily accomplished in the Spreadsheet.
You'll probably want a label for each column (and possiblly for each row) in the first cell, so your data will begin in B2.
For an example, I'm going to assume a data block of six rows (2..7) by six columns (B..G), with totals in row 8, and a grand total in H8.
In cell B8, enter: =SUM(B2..B7)
Select cells B8..G8, then go to the Calculate menu and choose Fill Right. This copies the formula into each of the selected cells, changing the cell references in the formula to match the correct column.
If you also want a Grand Total, in cell H8, enter: =SUM(B8..G8)
As for the database of Friends and Family addresses, there are two easy solutions:
1. Use the "Address List" Assistant found in the Assistants tab of Starting Points to create a Personal Address List database.
2. Use the Address Book application that is included with the OS X software you are running. You should find the Address Book icon (a brown 'book' with the @ symbol on the cover) on your Dock. Unless you are going to print mailing labels, you'll probably find Address Book sufficient to your needs.

Barry

Please help the new guy with a picture issue :) Thanks

Hey guys,
DrOnePocket here... I am on my second BB now and love it. I retired my curve finally and got a Verizon Tour 9630
I have some pictures that I have taken with my phone and when I used Media Manager on my desktop to save the pics to a file on my PC, I can't open them. Windows has no clue what program to use to open them and I did a basic google search and landed here.
Example file name
IMG00016-20100327-1607.jpg
Both my Desktop Manager and my Media Manager sometimes freeze up Vista as well.
Help is appreciated very much!!!

Don't use Media Manager.
Transfer the file(s) to your PC per instructions here, using Mass Storage Mode on your BlackBerry.
1. Go to Options >> Media Card
(some themes or BlackBerrys may call this "Settings >> Media Card")
2. Check the following settings (if they are not listed this way, then change to reflect the following:
a) Media Card Support: On
b) Mass Storage Mode Support: On
c) Auto Enable Mass Storage: Yes
3. Save the settings and exit
4. Connect your BlackBerry to the PC via a USB cable. Upon connection you may see a Removable Drive appear in your file manager on the PC, or look in My Computer. From there navigate to the newly added Removable drives and explore. Copy the file needed to your PC.

Please help the newbie!

I've created a photo gallery in Flash CS3 that contains 2 UI
Loaders (one for a graphic title for the image, and one for the
image itself) and have tested it and it works fine. I even
published the file as an independent html file and it seems to work
fine when tested in the browser too. My problem is that when I
place the .swf into my html page in dreamweaver and test it, the
file shows up, but the loader info doesn't work. The images don't
load.
Here is the code I have set up in Dreamweaver -
Within the head, I have this:
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Within the body, I have this set up for where the swf gallery
is supposed to be:
<div id="content_main">
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','wid th','911','height','540','title','Photo
Gallery','movie','../flash/photography2','quality','high','loop','false','play','false'
); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object

/>
<param name="quality" value="high" /><param

/>
</object></noscript>
</div>
Can anyone help? Thanks so much. I appreciate any help I can
get.

Two suggestions -
1. Please help yourself by using a subject line that is
descriptive of your
question/issue. Can you imagine how many posts there are that
have exactly
this subject? Later when you want to find this thread, you
will be deep in
the mud of other newbie posts.
2. When you post a question about problems with your layout,
please always
post a link to the uploaded page? That way we can all examine
the page's
behavior, look at the code, and give you a precise answer.

Flash question...not sure which section to post in...please help the n00b...

Background: I am a designer (Illustrator/Photoshop) being thrust into the position of creating e-learning materials. I have managed to teach myself the infinitely irritating P.O.S. (piece of software) called Captivate, but am still pretty much useless in Flash.
I have a project that a former designer created a year or two back. It appears to have been done wholly in Flash, though Captivate may have been involved (not sure why it would have, but I don't know enough about what I'm looking at to be sure). She is no longer with the company, so I can't ask her directly, but I am hoping someone can help me here. The project is essentially Jeopardy, as in the game show. The design is such that it is a static screen (identical to the Jeopardy screen), wherein a user mouse-clicks a value in a category (e.g. Forms for 200), and a window (not an actual browser window, but a flash element) opens over top of the main screen, displaying the question and giving a list of selectable answers (typically multiple choice). Correct and incorrect answers are added or subtracted from the score at bottom. It seems relatively straight-forward (and I'd be happy to post all materials here if that would help anyone answer my question). What I need to do is change these categories/questions to update this material to make it concurrent with a new training course. I am hoping I can do this with the materials I have at hand from the previous designer- ideally, update the text file (I think I can follow the formatting to understand how to update questions/answers/correct answers/etc) and then "plug it in" to this framework...but I don't know. I'm at a loss.
The outputted Flash file (of no functional use to me, I believe) (.swf)
The Flash file that contains the framework (this has all "0000" for scores, "Heading" for headings...aka nothing is populated in this framework) (.fla)
The outputted html file
A .txt file containing all questions, headings, and values that would populate the framework (example below)
"&heading1=Banner Forms&
&heading2=Tricks of the Trade&
&heading3=Banner Speak&
&heading4=Surprise!&
&points1=1000&
&points2=2000&
&points3=3000&
&points4=4000&
&points5=5000&
&question1_1=What form do you use to view a Registrar hold?&
&answer1_1A=TSIAUTH&
&answer1_1B=SOAHOLD&
&answer1_1C=SGASTDN&
&answer1_1D=SHADEGR&
&correctAnswer1_1=B&"
It seems that this text file would be imported into the open framework in Flash, but I do not know the first thing about doing any of this. I will eventually be taking some Flash courses, but this project has a much tighter deadline than that.
Can anyone give me any insight into how to proceed? Please let me know if I should upload these files to link here, if it will help anyone to figure out how this works.
I apologize for what I imagine is a horribly simple question, but I am truly blind with regards to this material.
Admins, I apologize if this is not posted in the correct area.
Thanks ahead of time for any possible help.

NEAT!
Hey guy, I got your answer for you. Or should I say hey "IDIOTA".
You see, that text file is read by the HTML when you access it. As in, there is no "importing" to be done. Simply update the text file as necessary to reflect the categories/questions/answers/correct answers, save changes, and that is that! Provided that you keep the text file in the same directory as the .fla and the html (which you obviously MUST do, or else the Jeopardy screen will show all blanks), you will be good to go! All eagles! All aces! Whatever the phrase is.
Anyway, hope this helps, chump. Any other dumb questions?

Please help the aged - Can't get my computer to recognise the Zen!

Hi there , I really hope someone can help me.
I bought my Pa a Zen Vplus 4 GB 2 years ago and he still cannot get it to work!
I li've overseas so on my few trips back I try desperatley to get it going and still failing.
I have checked the posts on here and can confirm they are on a Windows XP and a service package 3
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled all the software - however the computer rejects Windows media player as incompatible?
So when everything is loaded (apart from above) I then plug the Zen in and I get a pop up saying One of the USB devices atached to this computer has faiiled and windows does not recognise it.
When I go into the Creative page where you download it also says the Zen is not connected.
It charges when in the port - and the device manager says the device is working?
Please can anyone help - but please remember that I am not that computer literate and I will need to explain this all down the phone to my mum who is in her 70s so any long and clear?explanations would be grateful!!!!!!

I?don't know if I can help, but as I am 70 myself at least I understand that your mother may have a problem. Now I do not use my ZEN with the Windows Media Player but use the Windows Explorer or the Creative ZEN Manager from the installation CD for putting new items onto my ZEN. I am sure that you installed the programs from the installation CD first on the computer before plugging in the ZEN, if not try to uninstall everything and start from scratch again.
Also I found that some of the USB ports do not like all devices to be connected to them, so you may have to find another USB port that likes the ZEN, but apparently you have already found a port that recognizes the ZEN. So your parents might be ale to put music or other mp3 files onto their ZEN by simply dragging them onto the ZEN. For lthis they should open the device manager and double click on Music and then using the mouse click on the items they wish to put on the ZEN and then drag and drop them or use the Copy facility and copy them to the Music file of the ZEN.
Should your parents still have difficulty, please drop me a message to my private postbox.

Please help with RED HAT INSTALL

I am trying to install jdk (or whatever have they changed it's name to) 1.3.1 on Red Had Linux, but i run into this problem:
The file I get is called:
j2sdk-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin
and it is supposed to be a rpm file that when ran with rpm installs the application.
But if i try to run rpm -ivh j2sdk-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin it says that this file doesn't look to be an RPM file. I am trying to install as root so there is no security issue.
Any help is welcome,
Calin

j2sdk-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin
I had the same problem with Debian. What I wound up
doing was renaming the file. Try
mv j2sdk-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin j2sdk-1_3_1-linux--386-rpm
It should work after that.
Mark
