Project Nightmare 3 years into it...

So my Boss, old Boss no longer, left 2 years ago started a projected I suggested to go VoIP Phone. I gave the cost, savings, down time etc.. if done right.He goes and get 2 companies, one to redo all of our firewalls and access points (From a Site Survey) Company 1 (Only company to do be used no others to be processed) says "You're access points are old and outdated.. He agrees and says "Okay let's do your method"
So they bring in Sonicwalls and Sonicpoints, Sonicwalls are okay but, they forgot our wireless users use our printers, ooops they can't see then now as they are VLAN's and the VLAN's don't trust each other (All hell breaks loose, no one can print)... I was never involved in any of this at all.Now MAC users cannot connect to wireless, All Covered brought to 3 sites, they can't figure out anything. I put my Access Points back...

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Projecting a facial image into a new face-space.

Dear all,
I am working on face recognition using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) using LabVIEW. I have been successful uptil sorting eigenvectors by their corresponding eigen-values but now can't get any clear ideas on how to project my training images in database into a new space to reduce the dimension. I had done the same using Matlab. The script for this operation in Matlab goes like this:
projectedimages = [];
number_of_images = size(eigenfaces,2);
for i = 1 : number_of_images
vector = eigenfaces'*A(:,i);
projectedimages = [projectedimages vector];
end
This part of Matlab code actually projects the training images into a new space by calculating the DOT product between image and each of the eigen-vectors. So far what I have been successful in is how to calculate eigen-vectors, sorted. Any idea how should I project my images into new space by applying precisely the aforementioned Matlab technique?
Regards.

I am working on face recognition using Principle component analysis where you reduce the dimensions of all training images and extract important features of FACES by taking first few eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors.
Now that I have my eigen vectors, I need to project the original 8-bit images ( 48 in my case ) into the face space i.e. I need to project the eigen vectors over all the images such that each image has now reduced dimension. For that I need to take dot product of the sorted eigen-vectors with every image one-by-one ( will utilize FOR loop ).

In iPhoto, can I file individual events from one year into one main event withouthout m muddling them up?ing them up

In iPhoto, can I file individual events from one year into one main event without muddling them up?

Perhaps I misunderstood you. You want to have a hierarchy
Folder: 2000
->Contains Event for January, February, etc
Folder 2001
-> Contains Event for January, February etc
That sort of thing? Well with Events, no you can't. Yes you can do that with Albums, but not Events.
That said, it's a pretty limited way of organising your photos - in fact you might as well just use folders in the Finder. You can find the photos from any year, month, day with the Calendar tool. Simply click on the Search icon on the bottom, then on the the wee drop down and select the calendar tool.
Want the photos from a particular range - say, June 11 1999 to September 30 2001? Then a Smart Album will do that.
But the problem is that it's often hard to remember the year/month something happened. Did we go to Disney in 1997 or 98? There are other more useful ways that make your snaps more searchable.
Here's a canned answer that I offer that suggests some of the richer organising possibilities of iPhoto. It might spark something.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

HT5361 I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

Yes, it's a POP account. I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger. However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

48-Hr. Film Project Nightmare

Well, it's been quite a weekend for this editor. I was a participant in the 48-Hour Film Project - and everything was going okay until about 4pm yesterday, three and 1/2 hours before we were to deliver our finished film. At that point things went terribly, horribly wrong. I was trying to export an HD sequence to an SD-format Quicktime. I had done this before in tests and I knew it could be done, and knew how I wanted to do it. But when it came time, that's when the trouble started.
Every time I would try to export, I would get the most useless message I think anyone could get - "General Error". What??? And this happened EVERY time, no matter what format settings I tried to export with, no matter what I did. I closed out, trashed prefs, rebooted, ran disk utility to repair permissions - all with no success. We had a good entry, and the pressure was starting to rise. We could not get this $%^&^%$& sequence out of the box. Period.
We never did manage to get a file. With 1//2 hour left we went into a dark bathroom with an SD camera and pointed it at our Apple Cinema screen, running audio from laptop to camera and shot the screen. Desperation and ingenuity at it's best/worst. Shooting the screen ended up working okay, although there were exposure issues that we didn't have time to deal with. We DID manage to get our entry in, 4 minutes before the deadline - although nobody was happy with the outcome and what had happened.
The worst part about all of this is that when I returned home after going through all of this and turning in our entry, I started to look into what happened and immediately was able to export with no issues. I just wanted to cry uncontrollably at that point, and laugh hysterically at the same time. There are not words to express. After poking around some more the error did show up again using one of the sequence timelines I had created, but not anything like getting that "General Error" literally almost 100 times in the course of those two - three hours yesterday when I was trying anything/everything I know to get it to export just ONCE. I had the settings, I knew the drill - I had even practiced doing this before this weekend with the camera we used and did tests - all that went out the window when the export issue started.
All I could think about was how I was glad this wasn't a "paying client" but in reality, all the people who donated their time to our project were the client. At least we delivered something, but it was only a sad facsimile for the great looking and sounding short film we created. Everything I had done to try to avoid this nightmare was to no avail, and all I can figure is that in the process of editing, one timeline got corrupted and managed to keep any timelines from exporting, or something was corrupted on my video drive that reset powered off and then back on when I packed up my gear and went home. I don't believe I cut/reset power to the drive when all of the problems were happening, so maybe that had something to do with it.
Anyway, thought you might be interested in hearing about this - makes you appreciate not being me yesterday.

Contrary to the information above, your workflow was far from "unnecessarily risky...". Back in 2007 when the HVX200 was all the rage I helped more than one team in the 48-Hr Film competitions that Panasonic sponsored, they used a nearly identical workflow to yours without a hitch. There are some not-so-obvious benefits to shooting in HD and then making a downconversion to SD that many even today just don't understand.
The "general error" bug has haunted many a FCP editor - myself included - and unfortunately Apple has never been forthcoming in exactly all the things that could cause this error code. In fact, I had an Apple Pro-Care Tech support tech tell me that the reason it's called a "general error" is because the application itself is unable to determine the source of the problem. It happens.
As you've probably learned from this exercise you should be prepared to do some heavy-duty troubleshooting when things go awry; you've covered a few things in your list of attempts to fix the problem and here's a short list of other things you can check in the future:
- Connections to external drives, both in hardware (cables, power-supplies etc) and in software (making sure assets/preferences in FCP can still find those drives and are pointing to them).
- Get a copy of DiskWarrior and make it part of your regular maintenance routine.
- Speaking of maintenance, download Onyx (free app); use it's maintenance and cleaning routines regularly.
- Don't forget the obvious; I did see in your original post that you did all the initial troubleshooting (reboot, trash prefs etc) but don't forget things like basic hardware needs: Check internal power-supplies, make sure RAM is fully connected, listen for drive noises (like heads banging themselves silly).
Don't take this error bug as an issue with your workflow; HD to down-converted SD is not only safe but a preferential method for making superior-looking SD content whether for broadcast or DVD.

Batch uploading multiple projects from Aperture 3 into sets on Flickr

I'm a new Aperture user (ex iPhoto) and imported all my photo's into Aperture. Like many of you here I sort my projects into folders locally in format year-month-date - title.
Now I've imported all these folders (around 450) at once and each local folder is nicely imported as a seperate project. So far so good.
In the past I've started syncing all these folders to Flickr sets through the Flickrs uploadr (manually creating each folder, tagging etc). Aperture has Flickr syncing build in which is great, but it seems like I can only sync one project at a time. When I select multiple projects the flicks icon turns 'unavailable'. Does anyone now is this can be done?
And secondly is there a way to format the title of each created set (through Apple Script which I don't now anything about?) or is it perhaps built into Aperture?
Thnx for the help!

Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

Can Premiere Elements 10.0 or 9.0/9.0.1 Saved Project.Prel be Imported into Premiere Pro CS5/CS5.5?

The Premiere Pro CS5 Supported Video Project file formats include:
PREL (Adobe Premiere Elements project) (Windows Only)
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiere...a568-8000.html
and we know that the Premiere Elements project file is a project.prel.
Yet if you read the Premiere Elements 10 ReadMe, you see there the statement:
"You cannot import Adobe Premiere Elements 10.0 project into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 or CS 5.5.".
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/907/cpsid_90745.html
The Premiere Elements 9.0 ReadMe has a similar statement about its prel file and Premiere Pro CS5/CS5.5.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/863/cpsid_86324.html
I am wondering if the person who wrote that into the ReadMe forgot to add "for Mac".
Can anyone with both Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 or 10.0 AND Premiere Pro CS5 or CS5.5 (all Windows) confirm what is written in the ReadMe for these version? I do not have Premiere Pro (any version) to confirm and refute what is written in those ReadMe and am looking for someone who has been there and looked at that.
Thanks for any input on this matter.
ATR

ATR,
I am still using XP-Pro SP3 on all of my active machines. I am also using PrPro CS2 Production Studio, and PrE 4.0 on only my laptop. I have the recent versions of both PrPro and PrE, but am waiting for my 64-bit Win7 laptop to be built (hang up with Cleveo MoBo's, to be resolved by about May).
When I installed PrE 4.0, it DID break the full CS2 suite, but by that point, Adobe knew of the issue, and had done a KB on the problem. In my case, just doing a Repair Install for each program in the CS2 suite, did the trick, and both programs have run, side-by-side for many years, without a hiccup. However, I have NOT uninstalled any of those Adobe programs, so cannot comment on what might go wrong.
Usually, Adobe programs coexist well. However, PrPro had an issue with CS3 and CS4. If one had both PrPro CS3 and CS4 installed on the same computer, then uninstalled CS3, it took some necessary "pieces" of CS4 with it. Again, the "trick" was to do a Repair Install for CS4, and all was fixed. I have not read of any other, such issues, but they might have just gone unreported, or reported in forums, that I do not frequent.
Wish that I had more to offer, especially regarding PrPro CS 5.5 and PrE 10. I just have not explored those programs, yet - late May?
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing projects from iMovie HD into FCE HD?

Ok Guys, I know this is a pretty hot/touchy topic around here but I thought I would start a new topic as I am not even getting past step 1 as discussed in several posts and in the way that apple advertise!?
I am using the latest versions of both apps... 5.0.2 and 3.0.1. I follow the instructions as described in the manual (page 139) and FCE shuts down (quit unexpectedly)?
Also... how do i open the 'project/movie' in quicktime? do I have to do a massive export first!?
Cheers,
Al

Hey Tom, Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have a very basic project with a title sequence (8secs) and about 7 mins of edited video sequences in the time line from which I have extracted the audio. (so, a title sequence, 1 video track, 1 audio track). It contains no unauthorized material and no music, iTunes etc.
The reason I want to continue my project in FCE is that i want to utilize more video and audio tracks than iMovie can handle... and I'd rather not start again because I have already made about 50 edits which would take a while to redo.
Surely I can take my existing iMovie timeline sequence and import that into FCE. I am going to redo the titles/text, so it's only the video (and audio from the video) that i want exported.
Is this in anyway possible?
Regards
Al

Insert twelve MONTH of the year into table A_MONTH

IMovie 5.0.2 project won't import into iDVD 4.0.1

Aloha--
I'm working on an iMac G5 running OS 10.4.7. I am trying to bring an iMovie (just over 13 GB) on a La Cie external firewire drive into iDVD, also to be saved to the La Cie. The La Cie is formatted as Mac OS Extended. iMovie quits after/during rendering. I have used the iMovie-iDVD process successfully in the past, albeit with smaller files residing on my HD.
I've browsed this and the iDVD forum. I have removed possible incompatible QuickTime extensions, and I've tried to open the project into an earlier version of iMovie (4.0.2). However, the earlier version of iMovie won't open at all. I've also tried to open up iDVD and import it directly, but the menu import function just doesn't work (I can see and click on the file, but it never imports), and because it's on the La Cie and not my internal HD, it's not in the "media" folder so I can't pull it in from that menu.
Could this be due to:
(1) The fact that one or both projects are on the La Cie (and what would the work-around be?)?
(2) One of more version of the program aren't compatible with the OS?
(3) Some other reason that I can't dream of right now?
Unfortunately, I need the DVD by tomorrow, so any prompt help would be both useful and appreciated!

The movie that's in the iDVD folder (of the Shared Movies folder) contains chapter information. If you imported that movie to iDVD, iDVD should have delivered chapters.
Make sure your iDVD preferences are set to accept chapters.
If nothing works, this failure of iMovie 5 to export to iDVD suggests some kind of underlying problem. I suspect something is corrupt in the video or audio content.
Try importing that made-for-iDVD movie I mentioned to a NEW iMovie 5 project. (Drag it to the Timeline of the project.) That should deliver "cleaner" video/audio. Add your chapters to THAT project, send it to iDVD. Everything might start working as it should.

Project won't load into timeline

When I click on a specific project to open in the timeline the arrow icon showing the "film reel" (in the bottom left corner) switches directions like it's loading it into the timeline, but I still see everything in my project library. FCPX behaves like I'm seeing the timeline, but I'm not. I'm in the middle of editing a documentary and this is really bad timing for the software to give me serious issues like this.
I trashed preferences using "Preference Manager" and restarted, but it's not fixing the issue. This happened once before a couple of months ago and that trick fixed it, but it's not working this time.
Please help!
I'm using FCPX v10.0.8 on a MacBookPro 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16GB of RAM. My media is on a Pegasus RAID connected via Thunderbolt.

This happened again! It has to be a bug, and it's a debiltating bug. FCPX loads your chosen project into the timeline, but the project library does not move out of the way. The software thinks it's moved out of the way and behaves like you are viewing the timeline, but you can't see any clips.
I trashed prefs, emptied the trash, shut down the computer, started up, launched FCPX, didn't open any other apps. One project loaded into the timeline (a shorter, less complex one), and then when I went to the one I need to work on....boom! It's broken again.
I worked almost all day today and it was fine, but now it got into this mode again. I had to quit and restart the program because other things were starting to get buggy (zoom viewer adjustment wasn't working correctly and the graphics on the audio weren't redrawing properly).
I'm quite frustrated.

Import Project Structure (Business Blueprint) into Solution Manager

Hi,
we are searching for a way to import a project or process structure from external formats like MS Visio, BPML, XML into Solman SOLAR01.
I think there should be a possibility via XML.
Anybody knows how to import xml-files into SolMan Blueprint and which structure the file has ?
Thanks for any suggestions !
Steven

Hi Satish,
It would create a project that can be see in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, SOLAR01, SOLAR02 just like any other project.
The BPR is something entirely different. I think you meant Business Process Structure. Correct?

Jason
