Possible solution to some iWeb 09 problems

Like others here, I've had a very frustrating time with iWeb 09 since installing it. I was unable to publish my old site and got errors. What has worked for me after trying other things was creating a new site in 09, then duplicating each page of the old site and then dragging the DUPLICATE page copies into the new site. Also, try to have a backup copy of your site if possible. I totally lost my old site at one point, but I luckily had a backup copy using MultiSite. Hope this helps

I'll echo that I had some luck with this approach as well. I say some b/c some of the movie pages were inconsistent.
What I found that worked best for me was to delete every reference to the old site off idisk and then re-publish my existing domain (i.e not the new experiment site I had created). This published once with no problem. Then, I goofed up and renamed it as I was checking iweb out and then, ugh, the thing wanted to re-publish. Since then, I have literally had 3 trials x 4 hours each trying to upload and then I get an error message at the very end of the 4 hours. But deleting the old info off idisk was the only thing to help me get it published at X + 48 hours.

Solution for some iPod/iTunes problems...

If you are having one or more of the following problems, Windows may be confusing iPod with a network drive or hard drive and may exhibit strange behavior, like:
-iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer
-iPod does not show up as disk in Windows Explorer (even though disk mode in enabled ont he iPod).
-iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on the iPod.
-No songs appear on the iPod after an apprently successful update from iTunes.
-Music copied to mapped network drive instead of iPod.
-The iPod setup assistant appears in iTunes everytime the iPod is connected.
-iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode- use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.
-The wrong iPod name displays in the iTunes source list.
Please note*changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter theiPod uses on subsequent connections, so its not the best long-term solution unless you want to change this everytime you have issues.
To change the drive letter:
-Open Control Panel in Windows
-Go to Administrative Tools
-Go to Computer Management
-Go to Disk Management
-Locate theiPod and right click on it, then click Change drive letter and paths.
-Use the drop-down box to select a new drive letter. Make sure to use a drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all letters that are not assigned to a physical drive, but network drives will stil be listed so be careful. If you arent sure, add a new drive and pick your own letter, something way down the list is best since common drives are A, B, C, D, etc.
-click OK
-Click yes on the confirmation box
-Restart computer
Good luck!!! It worked for me!!!

Honestly, I don't know!! I searched ITunes and IE7 and saw that others were having the same problem I was and that if they stopped using IE7 Itunes started working again.
Basically, I was just proud of dumping Internet Explorer! See, I really love Macs. I had an ibook that finally conked out and i couldn't afford another mac.

Possible solution to iTunes registry permission problem (Vista)

My problem seems to closely mirror many of the ones I've been reading about here and elsewhere on other forums. And at least one person had the same exact problem when I tried to update, install, or even uninstall iTunes 7.6
I kept getting an error that the registry key HKLM\Software\Classes\Interface{915DA835....blahblah} could not be opened, access denied etc. -- even though I was logged on as Admin and I tried running the iTunes package as Administrator.
I tried modifying the permissions for that key. No dice.
I tried a complete uninstall and registry dump of iTunes and QT-related keys -- I even used MS Windows Installer Utility. That didn't work. Moreover, when I tried to reinstall, I was locked out of other subkeys as well.
Then I was searching around MS's support forums and found this thread:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1423928&SiteID=1
There are detailed instructions (but not too complicated) to restore admin permission to the entire registry. I performed the first two steps of the instructions, and it worked fine.
1) Specifically, I downloaded and ran the utility software
2) Then created the .bat file using NotePad, pasted the command instructions and and saved the file
3) Created a System Restore Point and backed up my registry
4) Rebooted in safe mode with command prompt. I don't know if the safe mode reboot was necessary, but I wanted to make absolutely sure. (Note: the instructions say to "run from the elevated command prompt", which means running Command Prompt as Admin; I decided to use Safe Mode instead)
5) I ran the program +(remember where you save it!)+
c:\[dir where you saved it]>fixregistrypermissions.bat
-- it took a few minutes to run completely, restoring permission to all but but 4 registry keys, for some reason.
6) I restarted Vista normally (oddly, my system started running REAL SLOW; having just done all this last night, I'm not sure if this is now a new problem)
7) Made another System Restore Point, to be safe
8) _Uninstalled completely_ the remnants of iTunes and QT -- including Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour
9) Made another System Restore Point
10) Rebooted
11) Dumped any app data and folders related to iTunes (deleted AND empty recycle bin); I was not able to remove the Bonjour folder
12) Rebooted
13) Installed iTunes package (run as Administrator); I even ran it in XP Compatibility Mode, which resulted in a prompt that the program is supposed to run in Vista. OK, whatever.
14) Rebooted
15) Launched iTunes, launched QT. Worked fine.
16) Plugged in my Nano and iTunes and iTunes recognized it, no problem.
Hope this works for the rest of you...
PS: I forgot to mention that successfully reinstalled iTunes using the full software package download available at http://apple.com/downloads
I also disabled the automatic updates, which was how my problem started in the first place!

Try modifying the extension.

Were you guys having problems with any other Windows apps touching the registry, too? I'm having a ton of these problems, mostly where my apps won't retain reg saved information like settings, etc. iTunes is the first place I noticed it, though. I also can't boot into Vista's safe mode without getting a crcdisk.sys error. Running the msft application to edit reg perms didn't help me as many of them failed.
Any ideas?
No problems that I can tell, though I came back to this thread to remind me how to fix it because iTunes started acting up again. <grr!>
But if you've tinkered with the registry before, that could cause a lot of problems. I would check with Microsoft about the "crcdisk.sys" error. Sorry, buy I don't know what that is.
As far as having to fix it this time around, good thing I still had the .bat file on my computer. I ran it again, tried "repair" of iTunes in the Control Panel instead of the laborious process of uninstall/reinstall. I have to reboot to see if that worked. :fingers crossed:

Possible solution to the black screen problem

My macbook air is 13-inch, 128GB
OS is os x 10.8.4
My problem is:
After closing the lid, the mac goes to sleep. And after a time which is longer than the value of standbydelay setting (to know what is standbydelay plz refer to https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man1/pmset.1.html), open the lid, then the screen goes black directly, no login screen, but the backside logo is lighting, the keyboard is lighting, and the screen has faint light, not complete dark.
My solution:
The following is useless or just temporal
1. Reset SMC or PRAM
2. Select startup disk
3. Reinstall OS X
4. Delete sleepimage file
The following method is not good, so i don't give it a try
pmset -a hibernatemode 0 (disable Safe Sleep, which can result in data loss)
The following is what I use and useful until now
Click System Preferences
Click Power Saver
Click Lock to lock it
Import plz Note: If u reboot it, u need to Lock it again. Because the system unlock it after a reboot or shutdown-start.
Apparently, it's another OS bug which is so ugly. Does apple have a test team?
Try it and check it for a few days
If it works, plz post it to let others and me know

Second day and no freeze from sleep.

Possible solution to iMovie generating thumbnails problem

I have been using iMovie '09 (version 8....) to import videos from a SONY hdr-cx360 camcorder for almost a year without problems. The camera was set (by default) to also take still photos whenever it detected a smile on a face. Last week I noticed one video event had a lot of associated still photos, and I decided to import these into iPhoto. When I was done and went back to iMovie to import the video I started to have all kinds of problems with "failed imports" or successful imports followed by never-ending "generating thumbnails" processes. I searched this community and other online sources and tried a few suggestions.
First I used iMovie to create an archive of my camera on my hard drive. I then tried to import video events from the archive, but encountered the same problems as when trying to import from the camera.
I then deleted from my iPhoto library all photos I had imported into iPhoto from the video camera, but the problem persisted.
Then I deleted the "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" (and the iPhoto preference file) from /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences
Restarted the computer and iMovie, but this didn't solve the problem either.
I used Disk Utility to fix permissions and verify/repair the disk, but no difference.
I had already looked in Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ for an iMovie preference file to delete, but there isn't one. Today I looked again and noticed that while there isn't an iMovie preference file, there IS an iLife preference file: com.apple.iLife09.plist
I moved the file from the folder to my hard drive, rebooted the iMac, and launched iMovie. Again I tried to import from the camera archive on my hard drive and this time every video imported fine and thumbnails completed successfully. We'll see if the solution sticks for the next round of video imports.
Not sure what to do with the com.apple.iLife09.plist since I noticed it was not recreated in the Preferences folder. Will hold onto it for a while I guess.
[BTW - I think in my case the trigger for these problems was having iPhoto and iMovie open at the same time and both connecting to the camera].

It sounds like your iMovie is in a "hang" condition, because it should not take that long.
I would recommend that you close iMovie. Then, in the finder, go to the Movies/iMovie Events folder and find your Event. In the Event, you should see the files you just imported along with two additional folders: thumbnails and cache. Leave the main video files alone, but drag the thumbnail folder and cache folder to your desktop temporarily (In case this does not work, you can move them back).
Then reopen iMovie. It should regenerate the thumbnail files.

I think I have a solution to some people's problems

Ok, I solved my problem after I updated to 6.0.5. Here's what I did: I went through all the steps in the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 and nothing seemed to work. I would follow the steps for "Removing iTunes" because part of the process has you remove iPod stuff from your computer. From what I could figure out, it was the iPodService.exe that was causing my problem because it would never show up under the "Processes" menu in the Task Manager. I downloaded version 6.0.4 from oldapps.com. Then, I reloaded my iPod software from the CD that came in the box, my Nano had iPod update 3-26-06 on it. When I opened iTunes, everything worked fine. My God it took forever to get that done. I've been working on this for a week.

You have to eject your iPod manually (either in iTunes or on Windows, clicking Safely Remove Hardware in your system tray) if you have it set to disk mode.

A possible solution to FCP X memory problems - it is working for me so far

I think I may have found a way to prevent FCP from gobbling up all available memory (and bring my mac to its knees).
The idea came to me from a post by Tony Reidsma in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3770230?start=0&tstart=0
He pointed to this page regarding memory usage in FCP X and Motion: http://bradbell.tv/filmmaking/improving-ram-performance-in-final-cut-pro-x/
The above page,mentions a preference setting that exists in Motion but "not in FCP X" - the setting for a "cache percentage".
This is supposed to determine how much of the available memory Motion should retain for caching content (or so I gather).
Sure enough, this preference is not there visibly in FCP X, but since FCP X and Motion share a common foundation, I thought it might be there anyway.
So after looking into the plist files in XCode, I found the name of this preference setting and used the defaults command in Terminal.
I have been throwing everything at it for a day now and it seems to be working well, so I thought I'd share.
Here is the relevant defaults command (NOTE: use this in Terminal when FCP X is NOT running):
defaults write com.apple.FinalCut OZPreferenceManager::CachePercentage -int 20
(this seems leave free about 20% of the ram available when FCP X starts; I have experimented with different values, and apparently the higher the number, the more free memory is untouched)
I have 15 applications running in MacBook Pro (with 8GB Ram), for hours, and no memory problems (and no need to "purge"). And FCP X and all other applications have not shown any of the slowdowns typical of low memory situations.
NOTE: While I have not experienced any negative effects, I have no internal knowledge of the software and no guarantee that this is effective or harmless.
One can revert the above setting by typing (or pasting) the following in Terminal (again, with FCP X NOT running):
defaults delete com.apple.FinalCut OZPreferenceManager::CachePercentage
If any of you try this and it does or does not work for you, I'd appreciate if you post your results back here.

Hey Luis, and everyone else.
I just tried your terminal script, and it has completely cured the sluggish problem with FCPX. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!.
I am working in a pretty large project, and now is flowing like a champ. Even skimmin is on point.
The project is 60 GB in size and I didnt create optimized media or used Proxy, so is working out of the RAW data, and boy must I say is flowing.
Again thank you dude.
PS: to you all out there, if you jump in a large project, I found that by making compund clip over compound clip helps the speed of the whole project. Example: I am braking down scenes in to compound clips, and portions of the scenes in to more compund clips, that has created a fast flow to go in an out of.
Macbook Pro 13 2009,
8GB ram / 750GB HDD

What are the possible solutions..?

I have a column in a database table of type LONG RAW . This column was represented as an OLE Container - which in 10g is obsolete - in a form (Forms 6i). Trying to compile this form to Forms10g , I receive an error FRM-30454.
Is it possible to retain the form as it is , by simply change a property , ....
Anyway , What are the possible solutions for this kind of problem?
Thanks , Simon

Nice subject title. It is as good as "Urgent. Please help". Why don't you go back and edit your message and change the subject to something like:

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions? SecSigner is not responding.

Well, I contacted SecCommerce about the issue, the response was, that I should sign the file later (afterwards). This is a solution, but not the best in my opinion.
When I sign the document the SecSigner window/Java window appears and freezes. Adobe is not responding. I have to terminate Adobe because the program is not responding.

XFI "no supported hardware" problem possible solut

I purchased my xfi about 4 months ago & has worked flawlessly until 2 days ago. Kept giving me the dreaded "no supported hardware" error along with BSOD's, etc... . Tried all the possible solutions in the FAQ, updated bios, changed, diff pci slot, reinst xp,?on & on...no luck. Was about to go return the card when I stumbled on this link selling the card:?http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=42270II noticed this at the botom of the ad:Please note: On some systems it is advisable to connect the XFi Card to a Floppy Dri've Power Connector in order to give maximum performance, this is done using the 4 pins on the top edge of the card. As this is an OEM card it does not come with a cable for this but most power supplies are fitted with a spare floppy power connector.
So figuring i had nothing to lose i plugged it in & lo & behold it all works perfectly again. I found nowhere in manual or help about plugging this in but I thought sharing this might help someone. Maybe it will fry my card eventually but it seems to have solved my problem for now. I suspect that maybe my pci bus isnt providing enough voltage for the card now but everythig seems fine. Oh, here is my general specs:?Gigabyte Socket 939 AGP Motherboard, Athlon64 3500+ CPU, Nvidia 6800GT AGP, 550W Power Supply

Possible solution to airplay audio problem

Fist of all, sorry for my english.
I had the next problem, videos from itunes or youtube works fine, but when I tried to stream only audio, from ipod aplication or spotify it doesn´t work. Some times make a little noise, other times the conexion returns to the iphone or ipad...ant many times the wifi of the phone or the ipad hangs, and have to reboot...
I´ve tried many things, with two diferent routers (both of them wireless n), different configurations, open ports, went to the genius bar, even broke a router (it hangs and there wasn´t any way to restore, even with a hard reset)...
Finally, today it starts to work. What I did is:
1. Change wifi channel to 9.
2. Disable WSC setup in my router configuration.
3. I think this is the most important: enable WMM (wifi multimedia) on the configuration of my router. It´s a comtrend model, maybe this is called in another way in other router configuration.
4. And reset my apple tv (menu+down 5 secs).
Probably it´s not necesary to make all these steps, looks like point 3 is the different from previous attempts...
So check your WMM router configuration and try.
Hope it helps.

Intresting notes... When you download album artwork from iTunes it really doesn't add it to the MP3 track, it stores it elsewhere and assoicates it internally some how to the album. Where as adding a artwork in through the actual file will change the size of your MP3 track, by embedding the artwork into it so that other apps (like windows media) can see them.
That would be an interesting find if that is indeed the case.... Furthermore if that solves the problem, than apple should have an easy fix on thier hands.
However, since most of my music is direct downloads from iTunes and has the artwork directly embedded into the music files like I mentioned above that might be why I've never encountered the issues.... As I found out about this quirk a while back, because some of the tracks on the PC or on my iPod would never show the album cover before...
Hopefully someone else with the same problem can help confirm this possible solution!

Possible solution to book uploading problem

I posted this as a reply to TM2 ... redundancy is sometimes very helpful ...
I ran into the same problem in last couple of weeks ... deadline for books and all.
I too gave up trying with Aperture and used BLUR's BookSmart, thinking that it may be a solution re overcoming problems with uploading (Aperture/Apple not providing useful solutions for me) .... but, ran into same problem - I was not able to upload finished book and got same msg re error and request to check my ISP connection, etc ... finally, I called Comcast re possibly a problem with their router or something like it ... I got very lucky and connected with someone who was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and accessible ... SOLUTION: bi-pass the Belkin 54g ... hook up CPU ethernet connection directly to cable router - BINGO! ... Belkin seems to be the potential cause for problem: It most likely needs firmware update - checked their web site and there is one available .... in time will upload it.
Hope this helps and it is same solution for Aperture trouble's re uploading issues, etc ... Merry Christmas.
