Problem with opening iMovie 2 projects in iMovie 5I submitted this question

I submitted this question some time ago and had some interaction with Lennart Thelander but it was never resolved. I didn't explain my question in as much detail as perhaps necessary to understand what happened, so I will try again.
I was using iMovie 2 for years and created many projects consisting of portions of clips split and moved around, audio, titles, transitions, the works, all dragged into the timeline and saved. Earlier this year I got iMovie 5 HD. When I opened one of my iMovie 2 projects, this message appeared:
"The project “home again home again” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I assumed that this could only make for improvement of the project, so I hit OK. When the project opened, the clips were now all exactly "9:28" in length (i.e. 10 minutes), and all the original breakdown of components (above-mentioned) was lost. It seems that iMovie 5 simply flattened the iMovie 2 project and broke it into 10 minutes segments.
My main question is whether there is any way to restore the original movie in its previous fom, with all the component parts. If I want to use any of those video clips in another movie, I need the original clips, which iMovie 5 seems to have flattened and essentially destroyed.

Hi
There are two levels of problem here
A. How to Copy Event's and Project's to external hard disks
- CAN NOT BE DONE - via DeskTop/Finder - must be done within the iMovie application
- The external hard disk must be - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - do not work for Video
B. Regarding Audio and photos used in Movie Project's
- There is NO Copy of them (or video) in Your Project.
- The Project is no movie at all - it is just a small TEXT document pointing to where material is stored and howto it's supposed to be presented as the Movie You are making.
IF Audio and Photos are not copies over to the external hard disk - and in Your movie introduced from this new storage - the new Mac can not find and connect to this material. It just don't work.
To move
• iTunes
• GarageBand
• iPhoto
Libraries to the external hard disk - so that the New environment will find and connect to is - has never worked for me.
I maker a dedicated folder and put copies (of audio and photos etc.) into this - and when copied over to external hard disk - re-import them (one at a time) into my movie project. Now iMovie on second Mac will know what and where to look for it/them.
Yours Bengt W

Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
What can I do ?

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

F-32 : Problem with Open Item selection

Hi,
We have a strange problem with open Item selection for customer clearing in t-code F-32
In My QA system
if I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick,
the system selects all open items,
(those with spl GL indicator and those without spl GL indicator)
In My Dev system
If I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick
the system does not select any open items,
Please let me know which setting controls this behaviour ?
Regards
Sachin

Hello,
Check your data in FBL5N for the option "Special GL Transactions". There could be that there is no data in the system with SPECIAL GL TRANSACTIONS.
In F-32, there is no value like *
You need to input right Special GL Indicator. "*" will not work here.
I am sure in both the systems if you put "*" and UNTICK your normal transaction, you will NOT get any items to clear.
Please DOUBLE CHECK whether you have unticked normal transaction.
Regards,
Ravi

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Problem with opening a dmg downloaded file.

I have a problem with opening a dmg file type. Example. I down loaded an update for Onyx. The download is placed on my destop. OnyX.dmg. When I click the file, disk utility opens up. I click OnyX.dmg and it attaches the image. I then have the OnyX disk image on my desktop. I click on OnyX.pkg and get the message "There is no default application specified to open the document "OnyX.pkg"
I remember when I 1st installed the program months ago. I just dragged the icon to the applications folder and was done.

There is something rather odd with your defaults for opening things. Double clicking a .dmg file should cause it to mount automatically using DiskImageMounter, and double clicking a .pkg file ought to cause Installer to run. DiskImageMounter is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter
and the Installer is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer
You can use GetInfo to assign those programs to those file types. You might consider fixing your LaunchServices database. See the discussion thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5744911
Using OnyX is probably the easiest solution.

Problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field

hello
I have a problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field.
Within a file or project, this project contains tasks.
Each task has completed the field% deviation.
Within the row "Summary" in the field of% deviation does not perform the sum of all fields of tasks.
Only occurs on certain projects, these projects have the view of PR Progress Report
Anyone know happens?
thank you very much

Hi
Sorry, I'll be more specific now.
Within the field% deviation. Your settings in PWA is:
The formula for field% Deviation:
Str (IIf ([Job baseline] = 0; IIf ([Working] = 0, 0, 100); IIf ([Working] = 0; -100; Int (100 * ([Job] - [Work Online base]) / [Working baseline])))) + "%"
Under the heading rows Calculation Summary:
> Use formula.
Within the field Allocation Calculation of rows:
> It is labeled the "Apply unless you manually specify".
The field [Job] and field [Job baseline] are fields Pack project server.
The error is in project, in the list of tasks.
In the top row, this row summary makes the sum of the ranks of the tasks of the file.
But in my case only in the summary field the same value appears in the tasks.
In all the cells in column% deviation appears the same value.
I hope it helps.
thank you very much

is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.
