Problem Dating Events in imovie09 (HELP)

If if I adjust the date and time in clips in the events portion of imovie 09, its a nice function and appears to work fine for example if a clips date was changed from 2009 to 1985 (which is a function in imovie 09) and I subsequently also create a new event named Rich videos 1985, and drop the clip that I adjusted from 2009 to 1985 into this folder then imovie intelligently creates a calendar icon for 1985 with that adjusted clip YEAH, this is great and it should work that way, however after I close imovie 09 and re-open iMovie again a day later, all date adjustments I made to the prior clips revert back to what they were before I changed Them. In other words that event folder that I named Rich Videos 1985 is now stored under the 2009 calendar icon and all clips within that folder now show the current date. UGHH This is driving me crazy as everyone knows that splitting events and trying to organize your old video footage is time consuming and tedious. If only imovie worked correctly. Also I am storing all my media on a external 1TB hard-drive. (not sure if that has any bearing on this as it shouldn't) Anyone having this problem?? Solutions?? I am open. Thanks

If the external drive is formatted macos extended journaled. Then you are covered. However, there are a few things that could be happening.
1. If they event moves back to today or even a wrong date....look carefully at each clip by turning on playhead info....make sure they are all the date you want. I have had the majority in an event say 1988, but yet one little clip was still 2009. Hence the whole event showed up in 2009.
2. For some unknown reason, imovie doesn't maintain the dates properly and a change subsequently wipes out work. I haven't figured out why yet. I sometimes find clip dates changed to some weird date. Thats why i keep event files small. It doesn't happen consistently or that often.

  • Problem with event handling

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with event handling. I have two buttons in my GUI application with the same name.They are instance variables of two different objects of the same class and are put together in the one GUI.And their actionlisteners are registered with the same GUI. How can I differentiate between these two buttons?
    To be more eloborate here is a basic definition of my classes
    class SystemPanel{
             SystemPanel(FTP ftp){ app = ftp};
             FTP app;
             private JButton b = new JButton("ChgDir");
            b.addActionListener(app);
    class FTP extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
               SystemPanel rem = new SystemPanel(this);
               SystemPanel loc = new SystemPanel(this);
               FTP(){
                       add(rem);
                       add(loc);
                       pack();
                       show();
           void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
            /*HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO KNOW WHICH BUTTON WAS PRESSED AS THEY
               BOTH HAVE SAME ID AND getSouce() ?
               In this case..it if was from rem or loc ?
    }  It would be really helpful if anyone could help me in this regard..
    Thanks
    Hari Vigensh

    Hi levi,
    Thankx..
    I solved the problem ..using same concept but in a different way..
    One thing i wanted to make clear is that the two buttons are in the SAME CLASS and i am forming 2 different objects of the SAME class and then putting them in a GUI.THERE IS NO b and C. there is just two instances of b which belong to the SAME CLASS..
    So the code
    private JButton b = new JButton("ChgDir");
    b.setActionCommand ("1");
    wont work as both the instances would have the label "ChgDir" and have setActionCommand set to 1!!!!
    Actually I have an array of buttons..So I solved the prob by writting a function caled setActionCmdRemote that would just set the action commands of one object of the class differently ..here is the code
    public void setActionCommandsRemote()
         for(int i = 0 ; i <cmdButtons.length ; i++)
         cmdButtons.setActionCommand((cmdButtons[i].getText())+"Rem");
    This just adds "rem" to the existing Actioncommand and i check it as folows in my actionperformed method
         if(button.getActionCommand().equals("DeleteRem") )          
                        deleteFileRemote();
          else if(button.getActionCommand().equals("Delete") )
                     deleteFileLocal();Anyway thanx a milion for your help..this was my first posting and I was glad to get a prompt reply!!!

  • My IPod no longer shuffles songs within playlists that are clearly set to shuffle.  It is about 3/4 full so I thought of maybe compressing the files to get more space.  Do you think that is the problem and if that might help?

    My IPod no longer shuffles songs within playlists that are clearly set to shuffle.  It is about 3/4 full so I thought of maybe compressing the files to get more space.  Do you think that is the problem and if that might help?

    Storage space on the iPod would not affect shuffled playlists or playlist shuffling, though substantially full iPods may wind up skipping songs on larger playlists after a while, and require a restart.  As for compressing the files themselves, you can automatically re-encode files to a lower bitrate by checking the box on the summary page when your iPod is connected to your PC/Mac.
    As for the shuffle problem, after restarting your iPod (hold the center button and Menu for a few seconds, until the Apple logo appears), make sure you're telling the iPod to shuffle the songs in a playlist by repeatedly clicking the center button until the Suffle Menu comes up, then scroll to the right to turn it on.  From that song forward, the playlists' contents should be shuffled every time the playlist ends, or is accessed from a new song.
    Shuffle does sometimes turn itself off, I've found, so double-check the setting is still on.  Also, iPods shuffle by randomly assigning a playlist order for your songs, which is different from traditional shuffle (on, say, iTunes or Windows Media Player, where the new song is determined at random upon the current track ending.  The iPod only chooses a random order of songs when you shuffle, to conserve battery life and queue up songs coming up on the playlist in the event of a shock).

  • Problems with events in flex

    Hi there. I'm a AS2 and Flash CS3 guy. I started to learn AS3 and transfer to Flex 3. But I got a problem w/ Events in AS3. I'm adding a canvas component to the stage. On that canvas, I added 3 different events: mouse down, mouse move, and mouse up. When mouse move is fired, there is no way for me to get mouse up event fired, and viceversa, when mouse up is fired, there is no way to get the mouse move event fired. Is there any one to help this newbie with this particular problem? Any help will be very appreciated.
    Code:
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:canvas id="myCanvas" x="50" y="50" width="500" height="500" click="event_1();" mouseMove="event_2();" mouseUp="event_3();">
    </mx:Canvas>
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import flash.events.*;
    public function event_1():void
    { Alert.show("First event fired"); }
    public function event_2():void
    { Alert.show("Second event fired"); }
    public function event_3():void
    { Alert.show("third event fired); }
    </mx:Script>
    </mx:Application>

    Hi Greg. Thank you for your replay. The question is I didnt want to bother you with the complete code and post it with the minimal expression. But here I give you the full code w/corresponding package. What I'm trying to do is drawing a line over an empty canvas (I got it very easily in Flash AS2)
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" initialize="addChild(p1)">
    <mx:Canvas id="wrapper" x="10" y="10" width="600" height="600">
      <mx:Canvas x="50" y="50" width="500" height="500" id="imageView" backgroundColor="#F8F3F3" click="startDraw();" mouseMove="drawLine();" mouseUp="noDrawLine();" >
      </mx:Canvas>
    </mx:Canvas>
    <mx:Button x="263" y="618" label="Draw Line" click="prepToDraw();"/>
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
      import com.myDomain.Lines.Main;
       import mx.graphics.*;
       import mx.binding.utils.BindingUtils;
       import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
       import flash.events.Event;
       import flash.display.*;
       import mx.controls.Alert;
       import com.myDomain.Lines.Main;
       public var p1:Main = new Main();
       public var pre:Number = 0;
       public function prepToDraw():void
        pre = 1;
       public function startDraw():void
        if(pre == 1)
        p1.graphics.clear();
        var newColor:int = 0xFF00FF;
        var iniX:Number = mouseX;
        var iniY:Number = mouseY;
        var lineWidth:Number = 10;
        p1.graphics.lineStyle(lineWidth, newColor);
        p1.graphics.moveTo(iniX, iniY);
       public function drawLine():void
        if(pre == 1)
         p1.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
       public function noDrawLine():void
        if(pre == 1)
         Alert.show("noLine");
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    </mx:Application>
    The package:
    package com.myDomain.Lines
    import flash.display.Shape;
    import flash.display.Stage;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.core.UIComponent;
    public class Main extends UIComponent
      public function Main()
       super();
      public var p1:Shape = new Shape();
    If you go apply the code, you will see: 1) The first event to fire is mouseUp, then you eill start drawing the line, but again, you will not be able to stop this event with mouseUp. If you can help me, I will be very appreciated. Thanks. 

  • Handling future dated events for automated provisioning

    Hi experts,
    has anyone implemented or knows how to handle future dated events such as going on and returning from leave for an employee within Identity Manager that it will schedule a provisioning process when the leave start end dates are given? any help is appreciated.
    birkoff77

    There is no explicit documentation on this requirement but if you look further in to the deferred task scanner and how to handle date events you will get any further probably. The point is that a provisioning process should start on a certain date for a certain user.
    One action to check for a date, another action to set up this process.
    Some hints:
    This is something you arange using the deferred task scanner which you can call by using 'application' as subprocess in the workflow....With the configuration of a task instance you can call a workflow (provisioning)...further specify a date argument and a name argument (the account Id).

    IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
    much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

    I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

    Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes.  However, if iTunes asks for the unknown passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod from backup.  For recovey mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."

    I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.

    Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
    Try a different port on the computer.
    Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
    Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
    Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
    Upgrade itunes to newest version.
    Is you USB cord defective ?
    Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
    Delete or Disable  any antivirus program on your computer ?
    I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
    We could do this for hours.

    To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:

    Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue.

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

  • Does Apple read these posts? I'm having the same trouble connecting iphone4s to my  2012 Prius V. Apple said it was a Toyota problem. Apple needs to help us all!!!!!!!

    Cannot connect new iPhone 4S to my Prius V bluetooth . Have been trying so many different fixes. Maybe if the almighty Apple read the posts, the problem could be fixed. Help!!!

    From http://www.toyota.com/entune/what-is-entune/phones.html we read:
    "Android™ and Blackberry® wirelessly connect your phone to the available Entune™-equipped Toyota using Bluetooth®. The iPhone® is connected via a USB data cable."
    There's clearly something different about the iPhone's bluetooth capabilities than the other two phones.  To say it's only Apple's or Toyota's problem isn't very helpful for anyone because, yes, Toyota should have designed Entune for full compatibility with iOS devices and, yes, Apple should have designed the iPhone to be at least as capable as the other phones wrt bluetooth.
    I still don't know who to holler at.

    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.
