Problem doing Tracking and Stabilization tutorial

I'm new to Shake and am working through the tutorial documentation. I'm doing the Tracking and Stabilization tutorial, where you match a jpg sign to the side of a moving bus. I'm at page 216 of the the tutorial documentation. When I the applyTransform button to activate the transform, the sign should more or less match the four tracking points I've created. However, it doesn't. What I get is this:
http://homepage.mac.com/fergus.hammond/PhotoAlbum9.html
The new sign jpeg seems to be scaled to about 50% of it's correct height. Page 217 says that the four corner markers should be located on the four corners of the image but in my case they are not; they are way above.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
fh

I dont think the matchmove is gonna resize and scale your photo for you - It is just matching the movement of the bus.
You can alter the sizing of the photo outside this node by adding node between the input of the matchmove and photo.
Try cornerpinning the image to pull it out to the correct dimensions
I think that is how you would do it - I may be wrong - I dont normally use matchmove- normally I track myself using stabilize - then I am free to use the tracking info as I need on othere elements.

If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
This happened to me.
You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.

Timeline - Cannot Move Tracks and Display Problem

I've created about a ten-minute timeline that I'd really prefer not to toss out because a lot of work went into creating parts of it and getting the timing right with the music, etc. When I first open the project in Premiere Elements, everything seems okay - my timeline plays with all transitions and I can scroll around in the timeline. However, I appear to have done something where whenever I click and drag to try to move a track, the timeline goes insane. I get a circle with a line through it for a cursor and a blank tooltip window, whether I try to drag the track horizontally or vertically. After that, while the timeline will still play, the timeline itself gets all wonky in its display, almost as if the video isn't refreshing on it. (It's kind of like the timeline has crashed.) I attached a screenshot of what it looks like. Whenever I move my cursor to the edge of the timeline, the timeline scrolls in that direction.
I'm running Premiere Elements 7 Educational Version on a Core 2 Duo laptop with 3GB RAM, an Intel 965 graphics chip (latest Intel drivers are installed), and Vista Business 32-bit. The clips are from a standard DV cam (not HD), and there are some PNG format stills and MP3 sounds mixed in there as well. There are three active A/V tracks. I think that's all the relevant information, but ask me if you need more.
Can anyone tell me what I've done and/or how to fix this?

Good morning every one!
The bad news: As expected the problem does still occur. The good news: I was able to track it down to one clip in the timeline.
To save others time, I will described what I have evaluated quite detailed in the following paragraphs...
As it seemed to me that deactivating the Windows indexing service made the usage of PrE more stable I thought that maybe file locks would cause the trouble. So I verified this by opening the project in PrE, writing and executing a small Java application that puts an exclusive file lock on one of the files from the project and tried to move the according clip in the timeline. It worked without any problems and the known symptoms did not occur. So we can put aside the file locks.
Afterwards I tried to reproduce the problem by playing around with the scene that caused problems last week. I tried by moving around the video clips and the problem did not occur. Then I remembered my statement I have made earlier, that the problems seemed to occur as I started to work with titles and music clips -- and bingo: I have three music clips in my "soundtrack" track and one of them seems to cause the whole trouble. After I have clicked on this specific music clip, the problem occurs and it is no longer possible to move anything in the timeline and the strange behaviour regarding the automatic scrolling when the cursor is at the left/right etch is activated.
It was easily reproducable: Restart PrE, open my project, move a video clip to verify that moving clips works, click on the specific music clip and the problem occurs. I have tried this several times and each time the problem occured. When I clicked on one of my other two music clips everything was fine -- same for the video clips I tried. So in my case it seems to be this single clip.
OK, what's specific regarding this clip: All my music files are placed on a share on my Windows home server (in contrast to the video footage which is located on the local HD). So I moved the "dangerous" music file to the local HD, changed the path to the file with a text editor directly in the PrE project file (which is a simple XML file) and started up PrE again. I verified that PrE takes the file from the local HD (server was down), but the problem did still occur. So it is not a network issue.
The next specific thing is, that this music file is the only file in my project which is a .wma-file -- the others are .mp3-files. So I did three things:
At first I downloaded the project file provided by SQFreak2 in this thread and checked whether he is also using .wma-files. The result: He does not use them.
As the second thing I again changed my project file in the text editor: I changed the path of the music clip to some other .mp3-file. Afterwards I opened up PrE with that project file, used the playback to verify that the other music file is referenced by the clip instead of the original wma-file and then tried to move the clip -- again the symptoms occured.
As the last step I created a new project, added the "problematic" wma-file, placed it on the "soundtrack" track and afterwards tried to move it. The result: No problems at all.
So it neither seems to be a generic problem with wma-files nor does it seem to be a file-specific problem at all.
Lets summarize the things from above: File locks do not cause any trouble. In my project a single audio clip seems to cause the problem. The problem seems to be caused by the clip and not the file referenced by the clip (no matter whether local or server based, wma or mp3, the problem occurs in every case).
What I have learned? Well, I am not sure. But in the meanwhile I am quite sure, that it hasn't to do anything with hardware and drivers, but that we are dealing with a bug in PrE that occurs in specific project cirumstances.
This morning I have got some additional ideas I would like to try to track the problem down (e.g. the problematic clip has a transition for a fade out in the end [when I did this I didn't knew, that a fade out could be easily achieved in the clip's properties] -- I will try to remove this one and look what will happen).
P.S.: In one of my earlier posts I stated the assumption that the problem occurs as soon as I move the mouse cursor over the vertical scroll bar of the timeline -- but this is definitely not the case.

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning, and still does play. How do you report a problem with a mandatory apple app?

Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com. They play on iTunes on my computer. They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago. I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play. I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play. They all play on iTunes on my computer.

Having problems moving ALL tracks and Arrangements tracks over slightly

Hi there
I need to be able to move every track I've created AND the Arrangement tracks together say about 10 seconds to the right as I want to put a click track intro that I didnt think to create in the first place. But everything I've tried seems a little messy.
I've tried selecting the first arranngement track, holding down SHIFT and then selecting the last arrangement track and moving them over but that seems to move the tracks to randomly anything between 20 seconds and 3 minutes.
I MUST have the arrangements move with the tracks exactly and I dont want to have to adjust them later.
Any ideas how its done?
thanks

This does not work. Moving/multiple whole arrangements really doesnt work well at all.
Someone else might have a better suggestion... or not. This could just be one of those limitations of GB. Moving forward, if you're going to want to be able to easily tweak things like this and many more, you might want to look into Logic.
Not that I'd buy Logic for that SOLE reason, but does anyone know if its actually possible/easier in logic?
Unfortunatley suggesting someone buys logic seems to be the general suggestion to a lot of users on this Garageband forum when they cant get GB to do something they want, but its hardly ever 100% confirmed that Logic can perform the suggested tasks. (By the way I do know that this isnt a Logic forum).
If that's the SOLE reason you'd buy Logic, then it's not worth it. Knowing that you want this intro space at the beginning of your songs, you could just start your next GB song from bar 5 or 9 or wherever. Problem solved (right?).
However, the reason people give the "buy Logic then" answer is because all these walls people hit in GB don't exist in Logic. You can do what you describe in Logic and a whole lot more. The price (outside of the literal price) is that you give up the simplicity of GB.
Beyond this one issue, if you'd be generally interested in a lot more options when you record, and don't mind spending some time learning how to use them, then maybe Logic would be something you'd be interested in.

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Problems with Refresh / Deleting Tracks and Album ...

There are times when refreshing the Music Player library either won't complete (eg: after you've dropped the phone popping out the battery in the middle of a refresh .. or is that just me?) or deleted tracks and album art won't disappear from the Music library after a refresh.
These problems are often down to corruption of the library and the only thing to do is to delete the library files and start over. Even a hard reset of the phone won't fix this as the files are stored on the card / mass memory.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
If you rename files - eg: by adding a ".o" to the end of the name - instead of deleting them, you can always just change the name back if you find you need those files back.
- Refresh the Music Player library
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.

Hi,
What version of Workspace Manager are you using ? I tested this with 9.2.0.4 and everything worked as expected. I was unable to update the row from the WK2 workspace after refreshing it.
Please note that after removing WK1, all locks that had been held by the WK1 workspace are dropped. So, when you update the row for a second time, you are actually locking the row that had been merged(which is contained in the TOP workspace) and not the row from the LIVE workspace. So any workspace that references the row from the LIVE workspace, and not the one from the TOP workspace, would be able to update the row.
This is the case that exists before refreshing WK2. However, after refreshing WK2, it will then use the row from the TOP workspace. Since this row is locked it would be unable update the row.

yes it is. you can sign out of itunes account then sign back in. use http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311 to sign out.

I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Here is an image of the issue
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/

I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

ITunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.1 64 bit display problems with CD tracks and Internet Radio

Recently installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine and I have the following problems:
1) Inserting a CD in order to listen or import tracks I get no display of tracks when I click the CD drive in the side bar. The list has only white and gray lines where the tracks should have been listed and the top of the table contains some grabbed display from Music table (i.e. the first track that was displayed in Music but only 2/3 of the line. The status bar at the bottom of the iTunes window shows correct information about the number of tracks and total playing time.
2) Hitting the play button while on this CD Drive listing starts the playback but the tracks play in random sequence even though shuffle play is not selected (not blue to be precise). In the zone with track name, playback progress, elapsed and remaining time and other track options the indications are correct.
3) Importing the CD works but the tracks are imported in random order. Track information from CDDB providers is accurate eventhough nothing is displayed while selecting CD drive as per problem 1). Imported tracks in Music show in random order. This is also strange because when I was importing something from a CDDB indexed CD or even a non indexed one the tracks were always imported in the order they were written on disc.
4) Going to Music -> Internet I get the same white and gray lines with no stations displayed but this time the status bar reads Zero Stations. Obviously I can't select/listen anything
I'd say I'm quite experienced with iTunes, using it since 2005 but never had problems of this type. Some assistance would be helpful. I smell a bug that maybe shows up in my particular configuration. Searched everywhere, maybe not good enough, but couldn't find something even similar.

i have the same problem no radio stations at all bit shabby hate technolgy now adays

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

My iPad2 has repeatedly refused to update to iOS7, whether connected to a PC or not. The error message indicates an unknown error has occurred, with error code 6. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? Many thanks.

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.
