Problem Encountered with Latest (as of 8/2/08) Security Update

I just updated the latest security update both on my powerbook and Mac Pro. My Mac Pro went into an infinite loop upon restart. Powerbook did OK. Did anyone encounter the same problem. I had to power down my Mac Pro and restart again and it went well the second time.

Our household has three Macs, a Mac Pro G5, an old Mac Mini and a Macbook Pro G4, all running Leopard. Two out of the three machines would not work after taking Security Update 2008-005.
The Pro and the Mini would not restart and had to be turned off manually. When switching back on, the Mini kept restarting itself. The Pro would get as far as a flickering blue screen with a spinning daisy chain. Same update, two different problems. Neither could be started in safe mode or from an external hard drive.
The Pro's hard drive was restored using the Leopard install disk and a time machine backup, the Mini had a complete reinstall. They now work perfectly.
I am absolutely positive that the latest security update was the problem.

Problem with latest mac os x (10.4.8) update

latest 10.4.8 security update wiped out mail from my inbox & sent folders
i installed the latest security updates (2006-008) yesterday and after restarting my computer i discovered that all mail dated 19 december 2006 to 9 january 2007 (before running the update) disappeared from the sent and inbox folders of all my thunderbird pop mail accounts.
what could have caused this problem? has anyone else experienced this problem? how can the problem be resolved and the lost mail recovered?

You have limited options:
1. If there is an Apple retailer nearby you can have them copy the update to a CD for you - usually at no or nominal charge.
2. You can go to a local Mac user group (if there is one in your area) where they would be happy to provide a copy of the update for you on a CD at no or nominal charge.
3. You can find another Mac user who has a high-speed connection and can download the update for you.
4. You can call AppleCare and order a copy of the update on CD for a charge of (I think) around $9.95.
5. You could find a Mac owner somewhere who would copy the update to a CD and mail it to you at any negotiated cost. However, do not solicit this assistance on these forums. Of course anyone reading this post could offer their help.

Two Problems Encountered with FCE

As I was in the middle of editing a sequence, the following message appeared:
"Error: Out of Memory"
I know that ought to be self explanatory, but could someone please elaborate?
Another issue I run into is that on occasion, FCE will unexpectedly quit, whereby I will have to reopen and start from the point I last saved.
I'm curious as to whether these problems encountered are related to me working with multiple projects simultaneously--looking at my Mac's specs, am I operating beyond its capacity?
Thanks.
iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Final Cut Express

I often have Photoshop CS, LiveType, SoundTrack, and Safari open at the same time as FCE.
That would explain your out of memory problems. All of them are heavy users of memory, especially PhotoshopCS. Try not to have them running at the same time you're editing in FCE. You can't use all of them at the same time anyway. Photoshop+FCE ...or... FCE+LiveType ...or... FCE+SoundTrack I could see depending on what you're doing, but not all of them at once.

TS1363 Help with Problem encountered with iPod Touch 5th gen After performing Sync.

Hello Friends.
My name is Joaquin. I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem I have encountered with my iPod Touch 5th generation running under OS 7.0.4.
After performing a Sync, a lot of the song in my iPod showed a red icon beside the song. It is the same Circle with a square in the center icon that shows the download progress status that you see when updateing APPs, etc.
The songs play perfectly in my computer library and in an old iPod Classic but not in the iPod Touch. The only difference was that when I connected the iPod I got a message stating something like "Transfer purchases from iPod touch to computer" despite of the fact that I did not make purchases from my IPod.
I will really appreciate the help. I can´t survive without my music. Thank you in advance.

Problem encountered with Adobe premiere Element 4 et DVD sony Handicam

I have a sony Handycam DCR/DVD203E . Window Vista edition familiale premium service pack 1 .Adobe Première Elements 4 .
I take 10 rushes of 2 minutes each . I finalised the DVD for importing it on my computer under Adobe Elements 4 .
When i do " add médias " , I only get two files , one called VTS_01_1.VOB which is the total of my 10 rushes but it's only one rush of 20 minutes .I get also an error message " C:\users\Videos\20081125\VIDEO_TS... FORMAT ERROR or file correupted/a component needed is may be not installed .
I shoud get my 10 rushes of 2 minutes instead of one rush of 20 minutes film .

Just a few clarifications first. Rushes, are the quick (hence the name rush) optical prints made from cine negative film. Their intention is for viewing, quickly, the results of the previous day's filming. They are not color corrected, or manipulated in any way. They are also not edited, other than being spliced together, take after take, so the crew and decision-makers can see what was captured. These are usually discarded soon after selections are made and decisions are finalized. The original negatives are then cut in the editing process and, when complete, are printed to positive projection stock with color and density corrections. Now, the final output is more often some digital format for commercial distribution.
What we have are 2 min. Clips, in digital capture parlance. However, lets go back a moment to the first paragraph. Just like the negative film stock, this Sony camera shoots to DVD. Just like cine negative, with an editing workflow, something else has to be done. Unlike the negative film stock, the DVD can actually be viewed in an optically correct, albeit unedited, format.
The .VOB files on the DVD are part of the inherent file structure of that medium, the DVD-video and are made up of MPEG-2 (DVD-spec) compressed files with very specific criteria. Unfortunately, the aspects that go into creating an instantly viewable medium, add some problems to doing any editing with it - first there is the structure .VOB, next, the initial compression to MPEG-2. Neither is ideal, if one plans on using an NLE (Non-Linear Editing) workflow. The .VOB structure will have to be converted at some point, and the MPEG-2 compression will have to be decompressed into another format, and most likely, be re-compressed back to MPEG-2, if the final output will go to DVD. Substitute that second MPEG-2 re-compression with Flash, WMV, or whatever, should the intent be streaming media.
Steve has addressed the problem head-on, which is a good way to tackle it. This is intended to just add a bit, to what he has already written, not to correct anything, or change anything.
With the proliferation of more and more non-tape capture devices, i.e. cameras, on the market, one must make a conscious decision, as to what they will ultimately wish to do with the footage captured. While it CAN be edited, with certain limitations, it is first designed to be viewed in its raw form. It handles this last job well - just pop the DVD/mini-DVD into a player and view, or hook the camera directly to the TV (or through other devices attached to the TV) and view. Editing, however, becomes a bit more complex, and needs to be well-thought out, and planned for.
The FAQs, at the top of these pages, go a long way to helping make informed decisions, come editing time. The compromises are outlined pretty well. Yes, there
b WILL
be compromises, as the medium is not designed to be editable in the first place. It is a delivery/viewing medium. This should be a strong consideration, when shopping for a video, or still/video camera. What will I want to do with the material generated by that camera? Do I want to just record and view, or do I want to edit, before the final presentation of the material? If one is here, in the Adobe Premiere Elements (or Premiere Pro) forum, then it is likely that some editing is intended. If one has gone with a tape-based capture device, the editing path is clear - Capture, edit, Export. If one has gone with a HDD (hard drive), DVD, magnetic storage camera, decisions have to be made and some planning must go into the process of editing. Then is the time to learn the proper workflow (will differ dependant on the exact process of capture, that the device uses), and will pay dividends. Learning what compromises will have to be made and how best to keep these to a minimum, will be needed.
The ease, with which these non-tape devices capture the footage, does not belie what lies ahead, should one wish to later edit. They seem so simple - shoot, then view. However, there the simplicity ends. It is later editing, that must be heavily contemplated. These forums, and especially the FAQs (remember, they are at the top of the main pages) are a good place to learn what comes next. The simplicity quickly peels away and a lot of new techniques need to be learned. As Dorothy commented, were not in Kansas anymore, Toto... If one wishes to get good results from the editing of this type of material, they need to be ready to learn. This might also be an instance, where learning by reading (first), is far preferable to learning by doing. It is far less frustrating. One also needs to be ready to dig deeply into their toolbox, which might well contain a lot of extra programs, to accomplish the task, in the best manner. Even for tape-based editing, one can never have enough tools in that toolbox, i.e. 3rd party utilities and programs.
As an aside, I use PEs big brother, Premiere Pro, for my editing. However, I picked up PE as another tool in the process, as it does some things better than big brother does. Never be shy of using the right tools, even if it means that you have to go outside of PE and even Adobe.

License Exception Problem Encountered With CDs from Dev2Dev Conference

We just attended a great BEA Dev2Dev conference at which we were each provided
a complimentary BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 CD with the one-year development license.
After the conference, we were all excited to install the CD and apply some of
the techniques we'd just been shown at the conference. The problem is that we
cannot get the installation to work correctly, as described. We continue to get
"LICENSE EXCEPTION" when we attempt to launch anything.
-- The instruction say the CD would provide the requisite "license.bea" (one-year)
file in our
BEA_HOME directory (c:\bea). However, no such file exists. In fact, that file
doesn't exist anywhere on the system. We tried this on three different computers,
using two different CDs that were provided. One one of the computers, a previous
version of WL7.0 was installed. It was fully de-installed. The third computer
has never had a BEA product on it, so there should not have been any conflict.
-- We used only default settings. OS is WinXP with more than enough RAM and disk
space to handle BEAWL8.1.
-- We used the SmartInstall program that comes with the BEA CD that was handed
out at the conference.
Can you tell us what we need to do to make this product work? Our enthusiasm
from the conference still continues, but frustration is starting to set in.
Thanks,
Doug

Well, as it turns out, the literature is a bit wrong, but the CD is correct.
The literature says the installation program will place a copy of "license.bea"
in the BEA_HOME folder (typically c:\bea). This is not the case. What is the
case is that after you run the installation program from the CD, there is a link
at the very bottom-left corner of the HTML page for you to go out an grap the
license specifically for the installs based on the CDs from Dev2Dev offerings.

WEIRD PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED WITH THE USER IN PRODUCTION

Hi All,
I have a bit weird issue out here to share with you guys also with the interest on the feedback.
In production & the specific user ID:
1. When User logs on with his/her credentials the output expected for the customised object is different with that of Q & D. Version comparison done no issues.
2. When user logs on & click on the display of program in SE38 or duble clicks the program to display in SE80 the entire SAP session logs off.
2. When user logs on with the same credentials on the other machine its OK & merry christmas.
3. When some other user logson the affected users machine its alrite.
4. The transaction which exists for other user throws the status message that it doesn't exists for the effected user on his/her machine.
any feedback/inputs on this?
Thanks & BR.
Vinay.

Hi Vinaya
I had this problem before, and the only way to fix it is, uninstall the entry SAPLogon and try to install it back. Try to install the same version that is working in the other computer.
Please let me know if this helped you!

Is there a conflict with latest version of Zone Alarm Extreme Security?

Every time I try to open Firefox, I get an error message and nothing further happens. If I close down Zone Alarm, everything is just fine. I am running Firefox 3.6.19 as later versions mess up my password software.
Error message reads: Platform Version 1.9.2.18 is not compatible with minVersion >= 1.9.2.19 maxVersion <= 1.9.2.19. I have no idea what this refers to. Please can someone help as I hate Internet Exploder!

As Miriam has helpfully pointed out, Pith Helmet is a Safari plug in. You won't find it in Applications, rather you'll see it in your home folder's Library/Application Support.
As you have now added, these difficulties are being experienced with all three browsers, then you can discount Pith Helmet as it is Safari only, but it was a relevant suggestion based on your first post. I use it to cut out a lot of the 'ad noise' you get on sites.
As Nathan has said, 10.5 should be working fine on your hardware, and agree with his fresh approach suggestion. But as you don't have the 10.5 disks to do this you need to get your own set of disks. Disks are not just software, but also have utility functions that you may require in the future. Also with Apple, legally, you must own the operating system installed. Currently you don't.
As you got the computer for free, buying a set of Retail Leopard Disks, has you still in front.
Prior to this, you could remove Firefox completely and download and install it again and see if that works properly, but that would be surprising as it appears to be some system wide defect and your thoughts about a malfunctioning Java runtime is a likely cause.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

Probably the reboot used to log into the Guest account and then your account again fixed the problem. If often will.
