Please HElp! Won't save changes in Imovie

I am currently working on an iMovie. When I preview the finished movie in iMovie it appears as if everything I have done is correct. However, when I burn it through iDVD there are errors. Errors that occur: music and voices playing on the next pictures and gaps in music. I have tried sharing the movie as a Quick time file and then burning in iDVD and I have tried sharing to iDVD. Like I said when I go back to the orginal version in iMovie none of these errors exist. Please anyone experience these types of issues?

Hello showard29 & welcome to discussions...
Try this - delete the following file:
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist
As well, have you made a permissions repair pass via Disk Utility lately?

Address book won't save changes to note field

Like the header says. Address book won't save changes to note field. There's another thread with the same header: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2591053?threadID=2591053 But it's archived so I had to post this new one.
If I made a change in any non-note field however, it would stay.
Note: the notes field can be edited with actually having to go into official "edit" mode. Does this make it more prone to corruption? Why would Apple make the notes field NOT need that extra step of protection. Do they think my notes aren't as important? How would they know?
I fixed this one card with a bandaid solution by exporting it and reimporting it. But I guess I need to do that with all 2,000 of my contacts now. It was mentioned on theother thread that somebody made an address book backup and then deleted every contact in the address book and imported them fresh from the backup and that worked.
The underlyilng issue is still not solved though. How could this happpen in the first place, and how do I know what other contacts haven't held lthe changes I thought I made?

Hi,
Using the Note field
You can add notes to any contact in Address Book. This makes it easy to keep track of details about a person in your address book.
Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card.
The Note field can be edited at any time, even if the card is not in edit mode.
You could make a dedicated field that requires the edit button...
Using custom labels
You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.
Select the contact that you want to change.
Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
Enter a new label for the field.
The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.
If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.

Please help how to save a movieclip in flash to svg...and how to retrive the saved svg to movieclip in flash?

hi all
please help how to save a movieclip in flash to svg...and how
to retrive the saved svg to movieclip in flash?
thanks

Do you mean from flash in a web page or do you mean
converting the swf file format (maybe with a decompiler or
whatever).
If you're meaning to do it from flash in a web page:
You can't save a movieclip from flash to svg. You could
perhaps record drawingAPI commands and create the appropriate svg
output in an internal xml object which you then send to the server.
But I don't know of any pre-built classes to do that (disclaimer:
because I don't know of any doesn't mean they don't exist).
Going from svg to flash is doing it the other way around.
Converting the svg paths back to actionscript drawing commands. I
think I've seen some examples of this online somewhere.

Pages won't save changes to files

This has happened twice already in a row: I perform changes to a file, and Pages will later on display a previous version of that same file. As a consequence, I lose ALL of the changes I have done.
This had not happened before, and I'm running an updated version of the app.
Did anyone have the same problem and was able to solve it?
Thank you.

I am trying to do a resume (used one of the templetes on Pages). When I change the font and the color of the font and try to save it as a .doc, then I get out of it and get back into the document, it doesn't save it. In fact it, when I save it and then go back in one time the color has changed back to the original, then the next time I save what I want and go back in, the text in one line has changed back to a different font. It just goes back and forth like this when I save the document. This is only happening in the header. Please help. I have tried to change and save what I want for hours now but what I want the font and color to look like is not "sticking".
If you save the document as a .doc do you get the changes in that document?
Do you mean by " get back into the document, it doesn't save it" that it isn't saved in Pages? If you haven't saved the Pages document it will not remember your changes. If you mean that the template you have used doesn't remember your changes it doesn't, never, because the template is just that. You have to save the changed document as a template and it will be saved in "My Templates" and found in the template chooser.

Urgent please help - brocade zoning and changing WWN

Hi all, we have had an issue with one of the devices on our SAN network, this means chaning the device, the engineer said we will need to change the name of the World wide name on the brocade to match. My question is, what is the WWN for? and do you assign it to one port, or a number of ports,and does a device that wants to talk to another device need to have the same WWN?
please help
cheers
Carl

Hi Carl,
I'm presuming that you are talking about having either a whole server replaced or you replaced a HBA (host bus adapter (fibre channel card in a server)).
A WWN (World Wide Number) is a unique identifier in the fibre channel space much like a MAC address. WWN's are used for security purposes generally to prevent/allow devices from seeing each other.
In that case, you will need to reconfigure any zones that were configured for that host/hba. A zone is a method of preventing devices from seeing each other on a fibre channel SAN (its kinda like an ACL).
You will most likely have to make some changes on any disk arrays because they generally would be configured to only allow certain hosts or HBA's to see certain LUN (Logical Unit (a slab of disk)). This is called LUN masking or sometimes called LUN security.

Please help: Not using 2 screens, but iMovie thinks I am!

This is a really odd one and has stopped me using iMovie for 3 months now. Here is the problem:
The last time iMovie was used I had the MB hooked into an external monitor, it sat to the right of the MB screen and was arranged that way in the display settings, so I could just scroll off the right hand side of the MC screen and the cursor would appear from the left hand side of the monitor. Follow?
The last time iMovie was used it was on the external monitor, when I'd finished using it I closed it down and disconnected the external. I don't have access to this screen anymore, but when ever I fire up iMovie it thinks the the monitor is still there and does not appear on the MB screen, but way off to the right of it, where the external used to sit. I can see iMovie when I perform the "all windows" command in Expose, but if I try to click on iMovie it just disappears off to the left, out of sight.
I've tried everything. Every other app knows the external monitor is not connected and does not appear on it, but iMovie point blank refuses to be visable on the MB monitor.
Please help!

Please help.. hyperlinks keep changing colour

Please help..
I am working in Iweb 3.0.03 on a macbook (chrome installed)..
When I set the colours of the hyperlinks they are in grey but when I ftp the pages all the browsers change the hyperlink text to red? How can I stop this from happening? I am formatting the colours and on my macbook and everything looks how it should how I upload?
Could anyone please help..
Many thanks

Yes, all hyperlinks on every page are meant to be the same colour format.
I use transit as an ftp
I might just change all the colouring to look the same..
Thanks alot
Are all of the hyperlinks at the left supposed to have the same color format? If so select one, reset all of the colors and click on the Use for New Links on Page button. Then publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and check it locally with your browser to see if the colors are as they should be.
Are you hosting your site at a 3rd party server or on a MobileMe account? If it's a 3rd party hosting server publish to a folder on your hard drive and check the site locally with your browser. If the colors are good then the problem lies in the uploading of the file.
H\how are you uploading the files? With iWeb or a 3rd party FTP client? If it's iWeb try using the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.

IMovie 09 doesn't save changes to iMovie 08 project - Help

After having issues with trying to export my project in iMovie 08 I have just installed iMovie 09 but when I make changes (eg, Use the map of the World to display our travel) and close iMovie 09 down, the changes aren't saved.
Also, I tried to copy and paste the project into a new one and it selects the movies, pictures & transitions but not the audio files. Can this be done? When I try to duplicate the project I get an error saying that I don't have the permissions to do it although I am the author and administrator.
Pls Help.
PS, my first Mac, my first movie project, my first grey hairs.

...because I can't afford Final Cut and I'm not sure there will be other free video editors out there that will be up to par.
This month a brand new version of Final Cut (named Final Cut Pro X) will be released by Apple. It will retail for $US299 and will remain as a fully professional product - but now available at a reasonable price for the prosumer and general user (google final cut pro x).
Your camera definitely should work with iMovie. I viewed a YouTube video earlier today that was shot with the Nikon Coolpix L110 and (clearly) edited in iMovie (not sure if it was '09 or '11). It was this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmN4nDQQdh0
Possibly there is a glitch with iMovie. Try deleting the preference file. Close iMovie, then in Finder locate the file named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" in your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences. Drag the file to the Desktop. When opened, iMovie will rebuild the .plist file with the default settings which can be changed if desired in iMovie's menu item iMovie>Preferences.
If all works OK, drag the original .plist file to the Trash. The file can become corrupted in some circumstances, such as when iMovie quits unexpectedly or is Force Quit. Deleting the file will not harm existing Events or Projects but may fix iMovie's odd behaviour.
It will be well worth upgrading to iMovie '11 - it has many new and enhanced features and can be purchased from the Mac App Store at a very reasonable price ($AUD17.99)
John
PS If possible, try your camera with iMovie at an Apple retail outlet. If it works there, then there is something amiss on your Mac. Perhaps try a different User Account on your Mac.

Bridge won't save changes made in Camera Raw, no idea why this started happening. Details below.

Once I've selected images to edit, I can make changes in Camera Raw, but then as soon as I hit the 'Done' button, I get the error message "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permissions error.". Why? I am the only user on this computer and I have no idea why I would not have permission to access my own work. I could use this fine a few days ago, now everything is not working. I'm using a late Sept 2013 MacBook Pro 15" with OS X Mavericks and the newest software version of Bridge. Please, can anyone help? I need to edit wedding photos and have them done by next week and at this rate I'll have to refund them for all the work I've done. And I can't really afford to do that.
Any advice at all would be great.

First, Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility.
Then verify that you have Read and Write permissions to the folder or volume you are saving to.

Please help! I SAVE AS: .jpg but it somehow converts to .jpeg.

It all started happening after I installed a program called GIMP image editor. I played with it a bit then saw that when I used my graphic programs it had messed something up so I deleted the program but my Corel Painter and all others appear to SAVE AS .jpg but then become .jpeg.
Can anyone help me ???
THANKS!!!!

Hi Matt...
Thanks for reply...
I know logically they are, but ever since this started happening, pc users can't open these files..
(and why is this happening anyway?)..
If I send in Applemail, even when I check windows friendly, they can not open the files. They always could as .jpg.
I'd love to know what is saving them as .jpeg all of a sudden.
Here's what happens:
I save as: .jpg
File looks normal..xxx.jpg
the I email it..
receiver gets the file but it has somehow become: xxx.jpeg
I tried emailing it to myself also to verify.
2nd scenario:
I save as xxx.jpg
and 2 files are created:
1 as .jpg
1 as .jpeg
It's so bizarre...and the fact that the files can't be opened as .jpeg easily is making me nuts...:)
Did this GIMP program change some kind of code or something in Mountain Lion?
Thanks for reading this!
