Possible solution for no preview and capture problems

We are part-time, intermittent users of FCPro - so numerous upgrades of QT, system10, FCPro have taken place since last we captured or did any editing. Seems like all our presets from former use have disappeared, leaving us starting fom scratch. Not using a sophisticated set-up, still capturing through the ADVC-100 with a non-controllable camera. All I know is, last time I captured, everything worked, and I never have had the option of device control.
After my struggling with the no preview issue all day, my husband DID do some maintenance stuff (delete preferences, repair permissions, etc) but I don't think that was a factor. Try the following (keep in mind, the ADVC is a pass-through "thing"(?)):
Audio/Video Settings
Capture Presets
Edit
Name: DV NTSC 48 Khz
Quicktime Video Settings: Digitizer DV Video
Input: DV-VCR
Quicktime Audio Settings: Device DV Audio
Please bother to post back if this solves your problem - then others will know it works.
Still having audio sample rate problem, so I may be back....

Using FCP 5.1.4 During the quest, I'm fairly sure we tried that repeatedly. I think the setting that made the difference between "working" and "not working" was the Quicktime (vers.7.2) setting for Input to DV-VCR. But you are right, I did need to reset the other setting in "capture now" screen to non-controllable device. I did look over past posts on this subject, and before I got cross-eyed from trying to digest too much techno-talk, I did seem to see a correlation with QT in people's observations.
Oh, and BTW, I wouldn't say it works like a charm - I keep having to go back to easy setup and re-choosing my settings. Sounds to me like something that is supposed to get re-set as part of the preview/capture procedure is actually re-setting the wrong variable, and creating a domino effect after that. There's bad code somewhere.

A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

Hi(Bonjour)!
Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
"+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
+I can confirm that:+
+a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
+b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
+- close FCE (if open)+
+- open System Preferences/International/Language+
+- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
+- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
+- close System Preferences+
+- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
+It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
Piero "
As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
This solution allows to restart the computer.
It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
Michel Boissonneault

Hi Michel,
I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

A possible solution for the version 7 sound problem..

Please forgive me if this has incorrect terms & names. I'm not really clued up with computers.
If you use Mozilla & use the music bar at the bottom of your browser, while using iTunes, when the music starts to mess up, press the stop button on the bottom of your firefox browser, then press play again.
This hasd solved my bad sound problem for the past hour & a half. I had no problems since I did that.
Hope this works for others.

PrintWindow api with possible solution for capture screenshot Google Chrome window

Hi,
as all you know, PrintWindow api give us a black image when us want a capture screenshot of Google Chrome window. So, a friend said me that a possible solution for this problem is:
Reduce Google Chrome window for -1px in both sides and after this, reset to original size. And so, will repaint again.
Based on code below, someone could help me make this? sincerely I don't know where begin.

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

An SAP Solution for capital planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?

Is there an SAP Solution for the Planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?
A solution that provides planning, budgeting, and tracking for capital assets through the entire life cycle of each asset, from the initial request through the final disposal.
The solution needs to be able to run scenarios. A scenario contains equipment that may potentially be purchased. Scenario items are used to help determine cost, capacity, and cash flow feasibility.

Hi
What you suggested is the ideal approach...
However, if they say that the budget allocated to capital purposes (70%) applies to both capital projects and expenses and they would like to control it together, but have reports separately, it is not possible with standard SAP...
If they want to have just one IO for both cap and exp, You can suggest them a work around to capture CAPITAL or EXPENSE in a ref field (XREF1 in BSEG) and you can run KOB1 with XREF1 displayed in it....
In standard KOB1, XREF1 is not displayed, you have to use Exit COOMEP01 to include the fields you want... Add XREF1 to the Structure CI_RKPOS and write your code in the include ZXKAEPU01 of EXIT_SAPLKAEP_001
Without an identifier @ the time of booking the transaction in the system (Either by way of IO or a ref field), you wont be able to generate reports later on

Possible fix for errors 11503 and 50

Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it is, delete the desktop folder with all the temp files.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

Several possible causes from the info you gave
Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.
Good Luck!

Need a solution for integration BPM and UCM 11.1.1.4?

Hi all,
Currently, I am using BPM & SOA 11.1.1.4.
Could somebody advise me a solution for integration BPM and UCM ?
I heard somebody said that need to wait to BPM 11G patch set 5 (11.1.1.6) version, which have basic BPM and UCM integration and haven't to using external API like RIDC or CIS.
Thanks & Regards.
Ming Nguyen.

Do not use prebuilt binaries, but compile the package from source with the current libudev.
sha256sums=(SKIP)
source=("$pkgname::git+https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit.git#tag=nw-v$pkgver")
to build it in the PKGBUILD, use nw-gyp i guess.

Log and capture problems for HDV using FCP 5.0.1

I cant seem to get a picture in my log and capture browser when using HDV. The screen says my camera is connected, I see timecode correctly rolling in sync with my cameras timecode, I can use the controls, but no picture on the screen?
When I hit capture now, the capture screen pops up and gives a message "waiting for data from device".
we shot at 720p at 25fps, there is no capture preset for this in my version of FCP. Could this be the problem? Please help!!

Thanks for responding.
It's a mac osx 10.4.11 and a 2 ghz intel core duo. I'm using easy set up in final cut pro, but there is no option for hd fire wire basic (which apple support told me to look for). The only hd options are 1080i50, i60 and 720 p30. The other hd options are for the apple intermediate codec. When I use the easy set up for hd 1080i60, then go to log and capture, it doesn't give me the preview window to set in's out, batch capture etc. It only lets me capture straight from the camera and I have to manually stop it and start it which is a major pain. Plus the clips need to be rendered once I put them in a timeline. I've shot and edited on mini dv with final cut for nearly 7 years, but now that i've tried to upgrade and shoot hd mini dv, all of these problems have arrived in capturing. I'm starting to think my version of final cut pro (5.0.1) just doesn't work with hd, unless it's very time consuming. Any ideas?

Possible solution for headphone problems with Mac Mini

A month or two ago, I posted a question about problems I was having with getting earphones and earbuds to work with my mid-2010 Mac Mini. I just wanted to share the (quite simple) solution that solved my problem.
My problem: I couldn't get any earphones or earbuds to work with my Mini, despite my trying several different sets. Finally I took my Mini into the local Apple store.
Solution: Though it was not stated in any Apple support literature or postings online, the solution was to push the mini-jack into the audio out port until the mini-jack clicked. I was just being too cautious. I was pushing the mini-jacks into the port (which were in the back of the Mini, so I couldn't get a good handle on what I was doing, since the Mini's back was facing away from me). I wrongly thought I'd pushed as far as the jack(s) should go. Not so. I should have pushed harder until there was a 'click' and the mini-jack was all the way in. Once that was done, no problem.
Chalk it up to my stupidity or to a lack of detail in Apple's support and help literature, but that was the solution. I hope this helps others with similar audio out issues.

Thanks for the response but I think maybe you missed part of my post. The keyboard works fine with my mac book and with my son's macbook. The keyboard is actually working right now. It has been a problem with shut down and then strart up. I think that I went through all those other SMC and PRAM efforts with Apple support and actually many others and they were completely stumped. I think that this is a complicated problem for which there may only be a work around but I am hopeful that the next time I shut down, it will work. I appreciate ideas but if my 4 or 5 hours with Apple support cannot help, I do not believe this is going to be a simple solution but if someone has encountered this or something similar, I would welcome their ideas. I have gone to the Apple Store in Madison, WI on several occasions and unfortunately I often know more than the people that help me so I am reluctant to go there and to trust the staff at the genius bar. For example, I recently purchased and Apple watch and the first person that helped me did not know how to turn it on and the second person did not know it came with two different length bands, and I once bought a case for my iphone and the person who helped me was more interested in the color than in the functionality of the case. I could go on but I am not confident in the competence of the staff there so I am hoping that someone in the support community can help me.

Is it possible to scan without preview/ image capture??

These programs are useless for scanning. Every time I try to scan something it automatically guesses where the image is cropped. It gets it wrong almost every time and there is no way of turning it off.
I tried clicking the more details button but my scanner sends an error message whenever I do. Therefore both Preview and Image Capture are stuck in basic mode. I also tried finding Epson Print/ Scan software and new driver updates by Apple, but no joy there I'm afraid.
I have an Epson DX4400, it works fine - but only with Preview and Image Capture. It won't work with any other programs I know of (such as Photoshop etc). As far as I'm aware there's no TWAIN driver available, so how is it possible to scan without doing it through Preview?
This *****!

Hi DLThomas & welcome to discussions...
Have you taken a look at VueScan...best out there that I know of - seems to do everything scanning related well - tons of options without the compatibility grief.

Grab the demo and see for yourself if it meets your workflow, etc.
Good luck in any case.

Invalid ELF Heder [possible solution, for the unlucky]

well i duno whre to post this, but whatevr..
[woffle]
yesterday i found that for whatever reason a lot of apps stop working ,
and instead started complaining about libc.so..6 having an invalid ELF Header... [?] i dunno, that was before and after the upgrade to the 2.5 version...
anyay, i googled it and found a few random users with this problem, so i knew it had nothign to do with anything.. prolly just the unlucky ones lol..
[possible solution]
anways... i managed to fix it [i think] by linking /usr/lib/libc.so.6 to /lib/libc.so.*2.5 instead of /usr/lib/libc.so
[add]
/usr/lib/libc.so is an ld-script btw. duno if it should be that way..
i'd file a bug report, but as i said.. it just happened out of teh blue, i did no sys up/down-grades , compiles, nothing... apart form install kdebase to get kate...

When will Firefox have a solution for the 'McAfee site advisor' problem in the new version 5 of the browser?

I love Firefox and always keep it updated with the latest version, but the new version 5 keeps saying that McAfee Site Adviser will be disabled when I upgrade. So, I haven't downloaded the upgrade. I also love and depend on my site adviser and I'm not willing to loose it. Is Firefox working on a solution for this problems and if so, when do they expect to have a solution in place?

A possible solution for pushing subscribed calendars to iOS devices

This one has been bugging me for a while and the solutions I've found here and elsewhere didn't work for me.
The problem: I subscribe to four sports schedules via iCloud. I have them set up on an iMac running 10.9.5 and all are configured as iCloud subscriptions. All events show up on the iMac and also on my MacBook. Events from two of those calendars would show up on my iOS devices. Two would not.
Looking into it today, I noticed that on the two that worked, the URL for the subscription (the "subscribed to" field when you do Get Info for the calendar on the Mac) is a URL that ends at the file suffix ".ics". The two that did not work had HTTP parameters that followed the ".ics" at the end (a '?' after ".ics" and a bunch of text following).
On the iMac, I tried removing the parameters so that the URLs ended in ".ics" for those two calendars. And just like that, all of the events now show up on my iOS devices.
Just thought I'd put this out there in case it is the same situation others are running into.

I've done something similar, but I couldn't never get rid of the buffer delay. I had to go to UDP and a custom sliding window protocol, but the the clients have firewall troubles.
