(Possibly silly) Wi-fi sync question

Okay, I think I know why wi-fi sync isn't working, but I just want to make certain, because this isn't specifically stated anywhere that I can find.
The PC that my iTunes library live on is NOT wi-fi capable, however it IS on the same network (i.e. it is hardwired to the router).
Does this mean wi-fi sync won't work? Again, I assume so, but nowhere does any documentation explicitly state this.
Thanks in advance.

It should work fine. My wife has her's sync to her desktop wired to the router and mine to my laptop that is wireless. Works just fine both ways.

Can´t sync movies with iTunes 11.1.4 (on Mavericks 10.9.1) to iPhone 4S with iOS7. Is there a possibility to reset the sync on iTunes?

I produced some videos in iMovie 10.0.2 and transfered they to iTunes 11.1.4.
That worked so far....
After that I´ve compressed the movies for the use with iPhone and iPod
.....also worked.....
Then I tried to sync the movies to my iPhone4s with iOS7.0.4. The sync starts, runs and ends without an error. But after that I can´t find the movies on my phone. There is enough free memory on my phone and I also tried to shut the movie app and restart my phone. The movies are still not there.
When I check what´s on my phone with iTunes (iPhone connected), iTunes says the movies are on my phone!?!?!?
Maybe there are some troubles within a sync "library" or something like that? Is there a possibility to reset the sync services or whatever is responsible for the sync?
Or maybe somebody has another solution which solves the problem!?
The strange thing is that my music, books and all the other stuff will sync fine!
Hope that someone can help me with this issue.
thanks a lot

I´ve fixed this issue as follows:
1) did a backup of the iPhone in the cloud
2) reset the iPhone in manufacturing mode
3) restored the backup out of the cloud
After that the sync with iTunes worked well also with movies.

FCP Sound Syncing Question

Hey Everyone,
I have an audio syncing question for you. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am cutting in FCP. I logged and captured my footage and with timecode breaks, etc. the tape was cut up, and I was left with eight files, let's call them Footage1-Footage8. I have completed my cut of the piece using the in-camera audio that was linked to the video on the DV tape that I imported. Our sound guy in the field used a DAT recorder to record the production audio and apparently captured the timecode to the audio files, so that it matches the video (i.e. the DAT recorder and our cameras - DVX-100s had synced timecode during the shoot). The DVD he gave me has 20 audio files as .wav, let's call them Audio1-Audio20. My question is, now that I have finished my cut, I would like to replace the current audio tracks with the production audio. How can I sync the audio with the video and replace it in what I've cut. Or perhaps I can't, in which case - how can I sync them up and THEN cut, but I'd really rather have to not do that, lol!
Thanks for your advice!

Sorry about the long winded post, though.
I guess my real question, summarized is - is there a way to sync separately recorded production audio (that has timecode) with the footage that I shot (that has the same timecode as the audio, but also has in camera audio that accompanies the video track - I would imagine I can just "cut" the extra audio tracks, however).
I'm at my bay trying to figure this out, and I've got nothing, and the people I work for don't want to spring for that bwf2xml program you were talking about What's the emote for pulling one's hair out?

Possible way to prevent basic questions being asked repeatedly

hi,
could this be a possible way to prevent basic questions being asked repeatedly (and to encourage search before post) (may be atleast for newcomers to the forum, to minimize one-liner questions).
when a user tries to post the question, as the user types or in the preview screen or before he clicks on the submit button, the SCN should show the similar questions/threads (or atleast threads with exactly the same text) asked/discussed before.
then the forum user might click on the links, instead of posting a new one, as the answer could be readily available in existing threads.
this functionality i have seen in yahoo answers.
if you go to answers.yahoo.com and ask a very simple question like
"what is difference between sql and mysql"
then yahoo provides a popup "Wait, we might already have the answer you are looking for:" and it also shows the possible similar questions like:

I also think it is a cool idea, but unfortunately the "no brainers" are a small group in my experience and will not be detered by this.
We are using a new secret weapon in the past weeks against repeat offenders. Please use the Abuse Report button to report such basic questions when the person is "hard of hearing".
As a side note, also consider that some people are not fluent in English. Or even have no English language skills and use enterpreters. That is of course no reason to be a pain and break the rules (cross-posting, etc) but it does explain isolated misunderstandings.
I once called a repeat offender on the phone because he posted his telephone number in the forums. He could hardly speak any English at all, let alone write it...

Is it possible to change my security question answers? I forgot mine completely

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Alright I have iTunes setup to Sync contacts to/from Windows Address Book. Well I just plugged my phone in to make a backup just in case, after the sync process was done I went into Windows Address Book and there's no changes in it at all. What's up with it?

Alright yeah it's been stuck on Syncing Contacts for a long long while now. Ugh =/

Solaris 10 on Intel hardware - use of containers - possibly silly question

Greetings,
We are reviewing an implementation of an application using Solaris 10 Containers. All of our reviews of the available documentation do not explicitly state that Solaris 10 (which integrates containers) on Intel includes and can use Containers.
This would not normally be an issue, with something NOT being mentioned, however, the planning resources DO specifically mention that Solaris 10 with Containers works on Sparc hardware.
Could someone please confirm for me, without having us do a trial install, that Sun Containers are available and working on the latest release of Solaris 10 for X86.
Cheers,
Paul

From what I can tell, containers (zones) are supported just fine on the x86/64 systems with the exception of Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 branded zones. Oh, and Linux-branded zones only work on x86/64 systems. Solaris 10 though as a non-global zone works on any S10 host OS.

Hi, Possibly silly question. System requirements?

Hi, I am thinking about buying an Imac, (All system info below). I work with game design/sound design and film design/editing (unreal engine, adobe premire pro, after effects, photoshop and Illustrator, pro tools and logic pro)
I just want to make sure that the mac I am buying will hit all the system requirements so I can work efficiently with no lag. Anyone with knowledge on this topic that can bring info help will be amazing. tried to call adobe, but its close to impossible
Mac System Requirements
21.5-inch: 2.9GHz
Specifications
2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 1GB video memory
Thanks

The RAM is the minimum required for After Effects. I would want AT LEAST double that - quadruple that, if you can.

The GPU doesn't really matter for AE, but it does for Premiere.
Hope this helps.

Subframe Audio Sync Question

I'm syncing audio recorded from a separate source, and the shot is slated.
I want to sync the waveform to picture as close to 1/100th as possible.
I didn't think I would ever need to ask a question like this, but there's a debate brewing here, so here it goes. The question is more about how FCP works and how it plays the single frame, where when zoomed all the way in and you can see the dark area representing that single frame. The playhead shows the beginning of the frame, but doesn't it play through the audio waveform of the single frame while that frame is "paused" for 1/24th of a second?
There are two theories we're seeing out there; one is to sync the waveform at the frame where you see the slate is closed, even though it happened in the space between the previous frame. The other is that you can reasonably estimate where the slate would have hit between frames and allow the waveform to land just before the frame where the slate is closed.
For example, say you have a frame where the slate is just about to hit and it was moving fast, so fast there's motion blur, but there's a small enough space where you know the sound hasn't happened yet, maybe only a centimeter or less. Obviously the next frame shows the slate closed, and you can guess the slate actually touched between the time each frame was exposed, probably even closer to the previous frame.
So, where exactly to place the waveform? At the beginning of the frame where it's closed, or at the end of the previous frame where it would have happened in real life?
Here's a silly attempt at an illustration of the dark area representing a single frame on the timeline and the waveform underneath:
{Single frame}{Single frame}
.................||......................
{Single frame}{Single frame}
.....................||..................
(The || represents the waveform generated by the slate.)
If anyone could weigh in on this and settle the debate we would appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

I've dealt with this issue in some detail when assisting and I'd say your thinking is sound (no pun intended) regarding the way fcp displays a single frame.
We were moving to a deva recorder using synced timecode and were getting consistently confusing results where the audio seemed to be in advance of the picture. When we tested by recording directly to the camera we found that the behaviour we were seeing was normal ie the audible clap often occurred on the frame before the sticks were visibly closed. Obviously on previous series, where we'd used the sound recordist's stereo mix track from the camera tape, we'd never had any reason to pay attention to the sync, we weren't doing any syncing so we just assumed it was right. When I looked back at those old rushes tapes I found that this behaviour had always been the case.

.................||......................
{Single frame}{Single frame}
.....................||..................
So in this case I'd say the first is 'correct' for film or interlaced video at a high shutter speed. At low shutter speed I'd say it's a toss up, it's too hard to tell if the sticks shut in the time between frame 1 and frame 2 being exposed or just too early in frame 2 to produce any detectable motion blur. That said, I don't think anyone would be able to tell the difference between the two anyway.
Of course in an app that doesn't support subframe editing the alternatives would actually be
{Single frame}{Single frame}
.................||......................
{Single frame}{Single frame}
......................................||.
So the second option is clearly delayed which makes it a no-brainer, and saves you the agony of choice.

Are there any POSSIBLE ways to connect/sync my iPod Touch 5G to my iTunes 10.6.3(25) on my MacBook running OSX 10.5.8?

So, I bit the bullet. I've always wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 5 from my existing iPhone 3Gs, before I do so, I sort of got the iPod Touch 5G first.
Now to the main question,
"Is there any virtually possible way to connect my iPod Touch 5G 6.1.2 to my iTunes 10.6.3 running on my MacBook with OSX 10.5.8?!?"
I'm still lucky that my iPhone 3Gs still can run on 5.1.1 and sync nicely with my current mac, but I need a new phone. I already have a desktop workstation and I still do have all my data/etc on my laptop.
Or must I have to buy Snow Leopard (if it's still available) and upgrade my old Mac's OS to do so? If so, is it still worth while to purchase SL, or would it be abandoned very soon since it's also considered "old"? and getting a new laptop is quite expensive too as a solution.
Regards,
Vince

This works for 4G iPod and iOS 6. However, it may not work for the 5G because of the Lightning cable. The Lightning cable has active componets and thus it may need OSX 10.6.8 or later to work.

Aperture 3 library syncing question

I want to move to Aperture, but I need some advice first. (I have considered Aperture in the past, but my expectations and demands were unrealistic. Now I am trying to be as realistic as possible about what I want from Aperture.)
I have learned that Aperture 3 in fact supports syncing libraries between computers. Before I attempt this however I want to find out from you people whether what I want to do will work.
First let me describe my situation.
I have Mac Pro which contains the following types of files dating from 1997:
RAW + JPEG pairs from my DSLR, mirrorless, and compact cameras
JPEG solo images from DSLR, mirrorless, and compact cameras
TIFFs, PSDs, and JPEGs from film scans
TIFFs, PSDs, and JPEGs that are saved, edited versions of the above (edited files have the same filename as the original, plus a few letters added to indicate which changes have been made; s = sharpened, a = converted with ACR, c = cropped, w = web resolution, etc.)
AVI, MOV, MP4, and MTS (AVCHD) movies shot with various digital cameras
There are 160,383 files in total, although the number of photographs is probably less than 100,000 due to RAW + JPEG pairs counting as two files. The total space used is ~1.2TB. The files are on an internal 2TB RAID volume, which is constantly backed up to an external Time Machine RAID.
The files are all organized into folders by year up to 2009, and inside each year's folder are sub-folders that organize the pictures by event. All photos taken after 2009 are organized either by event or by subject matter, depending on which seemed more relevant to the particular shoot. I have been using Adobe Bridge to sort them. After they are sorted, I use a wonderful gem called ChronoSync to sync the JPEGs only (but not the RAWs, TIFFs, PSDs, or movies) to my MacBook Pro. That way I have my photos with me in the field in case I want to make some prints, upload to Flickr/Facebook, etc.
However, I am feeling many limitations of this workflow -- hence why I am considering Aperture.
Here are the main things I want to do with Aperture. Please tell me if this will work, and what any gotcha's might be.
I want to have a "master" Aperture library on the Mac Pro. I will add all my existing files into the master library in a 'referenced' fashion -- they will remain where they are in the current directory structure on the 2TB RAID.
I want to also maintain a "satellite" Aperture library on the MacBook Pro that contains only the JPEG versions of these files. I would use ChronoSync to copy over all the referenced JPEGs such that they exist in the same places in the directory structure of the laptop as they do on the desktop (i.e. /Users/me/Pictures/etc.), so that hopefully when Aperture looks for them it can find them. (I am guessing that I would create the "satellite" library by simply copying the "master" library to the laptop, rather than creating a fresh library there.)
I want to use the "satellite" library on the MacBook Pro to perform tagging, adding location data, rating, further organizing, etc. and then sync those changes back to the "master" library on the Mac Pro.
I know that Aperture 3 has the ability to sync/merge libraries, but my questions are:
If the "satellite" library has only the JPEGs available on the local drive, then will any metadata changes made in the "satellite" library properly sync back to the JPEG+RAW pairs in the "master" library? I.e. will Aperture still apply changes in metadata to both the RAWs and JPEGs, even though the RAWs were not present on the "satellite"?
Will Aperture allow me to group other versions of the file besides the RAW and JPEG on the master library? Will metadata to just the JPEG also be applied to these other versions upon syncing, as described above?
Is it a "two-way sync" -- i.e. will changes made to the master library also sync back to the satellite library? (If not, that's OK with me, because presumably after merging the satellite into the master, I can delete the satellite library, then re-copy the master back to the laptop to make a new satellite library -- I am also going to have copy over any new JPEG files to the laptop as well, so I don't mind copying one extra file [the new satellite library].)
I'm sure I've forgotton something important here but, my time is limited so I'll leave it at this for now and post any other questions later. Thanks for any tips, I know this is a complicated issue.
-=DM=-

I still need to do some experimenting to see if the file references are volume-specific or if they are volume-blind -- i.e. if they just use paths starting with "/[path]" instead of paths starting with "/Volumes/SpecificDriveName/[path]".
I am not sure I understand you fully - what kind of file referencing are you speaking of?
If you use managed master image files, the master images are stored inside the Aperture library, and if you move the complete library to a new drive, then thereferences to files inside the package still work. So obviously Aperture uses relative pathes here.
If you use referenced master image files - let's for example assume the Aperture library is on Volume A, the referenced master image files are on Volume B, and you move your Aperture library now from A to Volume C: If you open the Library on Volume C, it will still find the master image files on Volume B, so the library stores the absolute path for referenced masters. This even works with referenced masters on network volumes, but I really cannot recommend to store the masters on remote volumes; you will have to make sure the volume is mounted, when you launch Aperture.
Is that what you were asking about? if not, please rephrase your question.
Regards
Léonie
