Read this and free up 300GB or more of wasted After Effects disk cache space...
I noticed on my MAC that the After Effects disk cache folders took up 400GB of space, even though I told it to only use 100GB. I run my disk cache on an SSD so space is valuable.
I investigated and realized that every time After Effects has a new version update, it creates a new disk cache folder for that new version number (ie. 12.2). However, the disk cache folders for all the previous versions (11.0, 12.0 and 12.1) all remain on the hard drive wasting 300GB of space.
If you're not using disk cache or didn't update from previous versions then none of this will apply to you.
To empty the 12.x abandoned disk cache space...
Just click on the "Empty Disk Cache" button in the After Effects settings
You can also manually delete the 12.0 and 12.1 folders from /Users/(username)/Library/Caches/Adobe/After Effects/ assuming you have the current 12.2 version folder.
To empty the 11.x abandoned disk cache space...
This has to be done manually and is located in the /Users/(username)/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/ folder
Delete the folder that starts with /Adobe After Effects Disk Cache... (ie. "Adobe After Effects Disk Cache - Peter’s iMac.noindex")
In OSX, the User's library folder is hidden so you will have to first unhide it to manually delete disk cache folders...
In finder, go to your user home folder
Next, from the finder menu select VIEW -> SHOW VIEW OPTIONS
Finally, add a checkmark beside "Show Library Folder" in the view options window
-Pete
The manual deletion of the 12.0 and 12.1 folders is not necessary with After Effects CC (12.2). The command in After Effects CC (12.2) to clear the disk cache will clear the 12.1 and 12.0 folders, too.

(Yes, that is implied in your steps above, but I wanted to make sure that everyone reading realized this.)

Microsoft Office 2011 - Has anyone downloaded this and is it useful? More importantly I cannot find it in the App Store.
Hello,
There are some Microsoft product like Windows Phone 7 Connector on the Mac App Store but for the moment Office is not there.
In an interview last year Microsoft’s Amanda Lefebvre told Mobilized : “It’s something we are looking at”.
http://allthingsd.com/20110127/microsoft-considering-whether-to-bring-office-to- apples-mac-app-store/
If you have applications like iWork or the free OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) you will be able to read files created by Microsoft Office. -
I have a password protected excel spreadsheet, how can I get my iPads and iPhones to read this and save it password protected?
Documents to Go says that it, "Opens password protected Excel 97-2008 files", but does not say whether it can save them as "password protected".
This might work for you. -

After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem
After Effects CS6: Cache and Reload Footage Problem
I am having trouble getting my footage to update in an AE project.
In an existing project, there is an image sequence in a composition. I have saved and closed AE, modified the footage (same dimensions and qty. of frames, only the pixel data changes), and then re-launched AE and opened the project. Though I have changed the footage, the old content still appears.
To resolve this, I have done the following:
Edit>Purge>All Memory
Edit>Purge>Image Cache Memory
Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Empty Disk Cache
Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache>Clean Database & Cache
From the Project window I've selected all footage and selected Reload
None of these got the footage to update. I could double-click on the footage in the project bin and scrub the play head and the old footage was still displayed.
Finally I had to replace the footage with itself and that resolved the issue.
If this is operator error, lack of understanding the cache functions, or something else, I'd appreciate some assistance. I don't recall this behavior in CS 5.5, so I am guessing this is a change in CS 6.
Win 7 Pro 64bit Service Pack 1
Intel Xeon CPU X5450 @ 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz
RAM 20 GBabout Illustrator and Photoshop files in CS6 especially - you should work with Ctrl/Cmd+E (Edit Original).
when in Ae and you want to change a source file, use this command on one of the layers
from the source file you wish to change (doesn't matter if its in the timeline or project window) and
your original software linked to that file will open.
when you work this way you make AE reload that file and any change after that will be seen back in AE immediately.
it is also very convenient way to work because there can be no confusion on which file you are on
if you work with multiple source files for example.
even if you made the change with your Photoshop/Illustrator opened file and got back to Ae
and didn't see any change - press on one of the layers Ctrl/Cmd+E and this will refresh it immediately.
This is the case in CS6.
in CC I have noticed that any change I make is refreshed immediately in Ae as if it rechecks the changes all the time,
and didn't even need to use Ctrl/Cmd+E but it's a good habit all the same.
didn't come across a case where that didn't work for be but
if all fails you could always change the folder location of the file, let Ae lose it, then replace footage of the file,
and thus let Ae re-link it back. -
i have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default configuration and i feel lack of performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest i could do on my Mac Pro ?
256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

Original thread created in January this year http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Help-Speed-low-but-is-this-my-fault/td-p/112249
Since then I have had no fewer than 11 line engineers and broadband engineers visit and /or attempt to fix a fault with my BB service which manifests itself in pitiful SNR levels after dark - right down into the negative figures.
What's been done / tried so far -
New main socket
New filtered faceplate
New drop line to pole
Pairs changes
Fixing resistance faults / battery
Checking out the earth in my electrical wiring (all perfect)
Eliminating any local interference issues
Consulting REIN engineers (although I have no evidence this was actually done)

This results in a totally unusable service with web pages at a crawl at best.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. I'm just about at the end of my tether, coming home every night to deal with this is no fun, not to mention all the days I've spent waiting in for engineers. Forum mods are aware, and although everyone has been without exception extremely polite and tried to help, the end result is a fail.
This is an Option 3 full price package. Surely I have good grounds to ask for an amicable exit from my contract, as BT cannot provide a stable service?Replying here just to update and let others know what to expect. This issue now been with the mods for weeks and I have escalated to the high level complaints team who are looking into and have asked me to send copies of router screen dumps etc showing the low SNR as "evidence"
Well I have posted all this info before here and in previous threads, but I have lots of this evidence so happy to supply if it eventually gets me somewhere. Have to say though, I am not confident.
This is what is happening as soon as sunset kicks in, think it is pretty obvious where the SNR will end up once dark. i know from experience this will be a downward slide until 2dB or lower and the subsequent loss of margin issues with my service. I am currently syncing at 6-7 meg with an IP profile of 5 meg, and have attenuation of 39, living 1.5km from the exchange.
Absolutely fed up with this and now it seems that it will take some more weeks for this to be investigated.
And behold.... -

The After Effects team are investigating a bug in After Effects CC 2104 (13.0) where RED (.R3D) files are very slow and the image resolution is poor, about 1/8 sampling.
The following workaround has been reported to solve the problems in some cases:
Save the project.
Choose Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache.
Please post in this thread about whether or not this workaround helped you.Intentionally cross-linking threads: this issue was first reported in this thread, which has an ongoing discussion:
AE 2014CC RED R3D files support broken - footages looks bad, everything slow.
The thread you are in now is the comment thread for the blog post. Please post in whichever thread makes more sense for you. I am monitoring both. -
I understand, read this and feel better - I hope!
Alright, I have to admit that buying my new G5 2.1 20" on SUNDAY right before the announcement on TUESDAY wasn't the best. HOWEVER, I have to remember why I did this.
We all KNEW there were Intel Macs coming - it was all over the mainstream media. What we didn't know is that the iMac would be here in January. I thought maybe June/July. Based on that, I chose to buy this week and I really didn't want to be a test subject for the new Intel.
When the announcement was made, I was upset at first! I mean, 2-3x faster?!? That blew me away. I thought it may get a little bump but that was it. Now with the x1600 and dual monitor support I was mad. I mean HOW could they do that? I just bought it? Arhg!
Then I read all the message boards on the net, read articles at Tom's Hardware about the Intel processor roadmap and calmed down a little. Here is what I discovered, maybe it will help you all feel better - which ever way you go.
1) The G5 versions are proven and reliable (there are always the rare exceptions).
2) The G5 is a true 64bit processor
3) The G5 supports ALL current apps natively
4) It may be "months" before pro apps are native for the Intel Mac. Ex. Photoshop CS, Aperture, etc.
5) You CAN get iLife '06 for the G5...for a small price.
6) My 4 day old G5 is just as powerful and great as it was on Sunday 1/8/06 when I bought it!
7) A G5 with at least 1.5G RAM rocks compared to my PC (AMD 64 3000+ socket 939, 2GB DDR400, ATI 9800 Pro). Sure the Intel may have better numbers, but I never really touched ALL the power of the AMD - the Mac? Maybe someday down the road with newer and more power hungry software like a new version of Aperture.
8) The Intel is Core-Duo (Yonah)...sure it's new and runs fast but it is 32 bit. Apple really wanted the Merom chip that will be available late 2006 / early 2007. This clearly didn't fit Apple's timeline. Thus they jumped on the Yonah/duo core for the first steps with Intel.
9) The Merom is slated to be the chip for the towers down the road and most likely be put into the iMac's as well - like the G5 is now on both platforms. At that time, the iMac's will probably be the dual core Merom 64bit and the high end tower might sport the quad version in a year or two. The Merom is also capable (right now in testing) of 4MB L2 vs DuoCore at 2MB, it also has the potential (reported) of up to 16MB...wow! That't the stuff that's coming down the road in a few years. By that time both the G5 and the current Intel will look wimpy.
9) The newer versions of iMac will probably use the ATI x1800 graphics card...much better, the x1600 has so-so reviews. A prediction? Mac will stick with the x1600 for now. When the iMac comes with a Merom chip (2007?) they will upgrade to ATI's latest and best card - maybe even SLI if they are serious about multimedia and compteting with games.
CONCLUSION:
Okay, yes I am CAN return it. Pay about $165 10% fee and get the new Intel or keep my G5 and put more RAM in it. What do I suggest?
1) IF you are eligible to return it, it's a coin-toss. Keep a reliable powerful G5 or test out the great new Intel. It's your 10% fee.
2) If you can't return, why sell it on Ebay or elsewhere and take a $200-500 loss? Is the Intel really that much better? Why not save it for Intel iMac rev B or C?
3) If you are new to Mac or haven't bought one yet, see #1. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
4) If you are a "gamer" - go witht the Intel.
OH! And if you buy a "qualifying system" on or after 1/10/06, you can get the iLife '06 upgrade for $10.
I HOPE THIS HELPS!
iMac G5 2.1 20" Mac OS X (10.4.4)good. to b safe n sure, always wait after Jan n June, n see what new products r introducd. then do research n juggle ur desicion b4 any purchase. u guys in the usa enjoy more supports. the applecare ppl in my country are known for their reckless service.
to b productive, having the fastest machine doesnt always win u business. if ppl try to play catch up with technology, then they would have to upgrade their machines on a daily basis. being quite an xperiencd mac user, i dont get upset at every upgrades, i enjoy my set up as long as it works. i still use imovie4, i think its more reliable for my sd video n since i dont do anamorphic video work yet. i also have some old crt imac in the office, running pagemaker n photoshop 6, yeah, they r dinasors, but as long as theres a demand in the market n u can still make money from it, then enjoy the set up.
one graphic design student said hes upset bcos he spent so much money on the imac g5 n felt cheated. i was once a college student n i wanted everything new. almost 10 years later, ive used many diff computers n still i can produce good design. imagine urself being a graphic designer in the mid 90s, 5gb for a storage is godsent.
if u involve in a big budget prod company, prhaps u can upgrade ur machines quarterly a year, n u probably dont start with an imac. the imac is not the powermac. when i bought my emac, i fully understood tht its not the fastest machine on earth. its going to b replaced soon n i predicted tht the next emac upgrade would enjoy a bigger storage at 160g, i was right. but it didnt upset me bcos with the cheap emac, i could do my freelance jobs that brings me money, enuff for me to get a powermacg5 a year ago, n turnd my video hobby into part-time videography business.
no need to panic at evry upgrades, relax, stay cool, enjoy your machines wisely. me, ill wait n see the evolution of these intel machines, when they r ripe, i will upgrade. -
Guys I need help please read this and try to understand it
I want to know that what does a new driver has to do with modem that it makes noises like "click click" during the gameplay...
Right now i am using the old version that came with the box.It is 43.45 that has been released almost an year ago.Believe me guys it works almost perfect no noise and nothing.
If i come into 2004 then the latest version is 56.72 .I've heard that nVidia has uploaded this driver on april 1st (Happy fool day from nVidia). Thus guys i wish to come into this new year and i want to update my driver,and when i install this driver it will give me trouble from the modem. Couple of more things i have checked and they're the driver that came with the box is by DETONATOR and these days the drivers says FORCEWARE and the second thing is that the old software that comes in CD from nVidia doesnt contain "DIGITAL VIBRANCE" but all new drivers has it. Could this problem is from here? I am totally puzzled first i thought that there is something wrong with the graphic card but when i checked it was modem.When i changed the modem same problem.I changed the slot, same thing. Thought there is a virus or spyware but there was not.Hardware is ok because old version is working fine.
PLEASE GUYS I NEED ALL OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS DONT IGNORE MY PROBLEM
GRAPHIC CARD is MSI nVIDIA FX-5200
MB is MSI 865P-NEO
Modem is CONEXANT
One more thing i want to mention
if i turn on pc and start playing games(any 3D games) will run perfect on any driver whether it is new or oldest. But if i connect to internet with modem and later disconnect it and then start playing games or any 3D presentation the modem starts crying (CLICK CLICK) and this is the same sound that comes when we start connecting(dialing, probably when it gives signal) the internet.
In this situation i have to completely turn off my pc and also unplugging it (DISCHARGING ELECTRICITY). and then, when i turn on the pc and start any game without connecting to internet everything runs fine (On the new drivers)....
Now as i have mentioned before i changed the slots removed and even reinstalled.Nothing happens just a click click sound.
but for the old driver everything runs fine even if i am online and watching 3D presentations or playing games....
So anybody ????????????????????????assuming its a pci one as he suggests it may well be an irq thing
try playing swap the pci slot with it

IPod Shuffle green/yellow flashing APPLE READ THIS AND POST IT!!!
This was posted by ipod user pcgoddess and this is the only way I got my ipod shuffle to work. It would not play it would just blink green and orange. Apple couldn't even put up a solution on their own website. If I were Apple I would be embarrassed.
"After searching high and low, I found a solution in another chat area. It takes a few minutes, but it works.
Place the Shuffle in your PCs USB.
A dialog box may pop up. Do not click it.
Do not click any dialog which pops up asking if you want to put songs from this pc onto this ipod, deleting the old ones.
Click edit, preferences, then select the "ipod" tab.
Check the box "enable disk use".
Move the slider to the right so that it is set to more data (maximum), and 0 songs.
Click ok.
Right click your start button and select "Explore".
Navitage to My Computer, and then seek the drive which represents the shuffle.
Right click the drive and select format.
Leave the options as they are.
Click Start.
After formatting, click eject ipod (icon in the bottom right of the itunes window).
Remove the shuffle.
Re-insert the shuffle. "nice try but that doesnt work... i had to return mine and the very same day the new one broke! this product is all around crappy...
This was posted by ipod user pcgoddess and this is
the only way I got my ipod shuffle to work. It would
not play it would just blink green and orange. Apple
couldn't even put up a solution on their own website.
If I were Apple I would be embarrassed.
"After searching high and low, I found a solution in
another chat area. It takes a few minutes, but it
works.
Place the Shuffle in your PCs USB.
A dialog box may pop up. Do not click it.
Do not click any dialog which pops up asking if you
want to put songs from this pc onto this ipod,
deleting the old ones.
Click edit, preferences, then select the "ipod" tab.
Check the box "enable disk use".
Move the slider to the right so that it is set to
more data (maximum), and 0 songs.
Click ok.
Right click your start button and select "Explore".
Navitage to My Computer, and then seek the drive
which represents the shuffle.
Right click the drive and select format.
Leave the options as they are.
Click Start.
After formatting, click eject ipod (icon in the
bottom right of the itunes window).
Remove the shuffle.
Re-insert the shuffle. " -
HELP! Someone please read this and send any knowledge or opinions my way
Im having a major problem syncing my 160 Gb Classic to my Mac OS X.... I synced my ipod to my computer and it wiped it clean...nothing left..... then i went to try and resync all 23,000 songs and my itunes would freeze when the ipod eventually turned up in itunes (often it would show up on the desk top but not in itunes)
I called apple support and spoke with an agent named Michael and told him of my 160 classic ipod woes we went over many things together on the phone numerous times such as reseting ipod restarting my computer and trying many other things including updating itunes eventually I got it to sync but it did not sync all my music I was missing around 500 songs. Then When I played my Ipod the songs began pausing before playing skipping to the next song then skipping randomly. at one point I turned it off and it turned back on with a mind of its own & began to play a song... I tried to resync it and GOT THIS MESSAGE
*"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPOD"*
I disconnected and tried to reconnect the ipod nothing Then restored it back to its factory settings... *And got this message*
*"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unkown error occurred (1430)"*
I tried somemore and got this message
*"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unkown error occurred (1416)"*
Then Michael from tech support said it must be a problem with my 3 month old Ipods harddrive... he sent me a box to send it away in for repair.
Then a few days later a friend who syncs his Ipod up to my computer came by and synced his I mentioned the problem and that Michael told me its with my ipod... The the same thing happened to my friends iPod.... He synced it to another friends computer and it seemed fine then he called me and said his music is skipping and pausing.. even though his was wiped by my computer and re synced on another
*Could this be a problem with my Mac computer? my Itunes? or is it just coincidence that two Ipods got messed up from trying to sync to my Mac? I don't know If I should send mine in for repair cause I have a feeling its a problem with something else...*I am having the exact same problem. I just got a brand new HP Pavilion laptop recently and at first my 160gb classic worked fine with it, then at one point when I connected it to my laptop iTunes just froze. I couldn't see any of my files in my iPod but it showed that the space was being used. Then before I knew it I lost all my 32gb of music. I managed to get it to sync to computer and put some music back on but now I am back to the issue where iTunes just freezes and my music got wiped again. I cannot figure it out.

Please everyone read this and provide input
Hello all,
I have a few issues with my iphone and trying to figure out if it's just mine that is a dud or if all of them are like that.
1.Pictures and videos look much darker(high contrast) on the iphone's screen. I converted pirates of the caribean 3 and I can't really see any part that wasn't shot in bright sun light in the movie. Same thing with pictures, very dark.
2. My smart keyboard NEVER give me any help since I've been using the phone. No matter whether I'm typing a note, email, or anything. That can't be normal.
3. With 3g on and using wifi, browsing the net or watching utube vids for like 1 to 2 hours, my battery can barely last 12hrs. Should it be that short?
Please advvise.
Thanks,
HelmaniaHi
I really believe we need to stop thinking of the iPhone as a phone, and consider it a very small mac with a phone attached. that way, all the glitches and problems that people are having take on a new context - there are always bugs and freezes and software issues with mac and mostly, they get fixed in time (okay, not always, but a lot of the time) or they can be resolved by resetting. I think this is the same with battery life - the more you use it for 'non-phone' purposes, the smaller the battery life. Also, if you are like me and have been playing with the new toy constantly since july 11th, it's no wonder that the battery drains quickly. One tip that I did get is if you turn off location services in the settings, you will get better battery life, especially since the only time you really need it on if if you are using the iphone for SatNav.I can't comment on the video quality, as I haven't really done much of that yet. Regarding the smart keyboard help, mine seems fine. The only thing you might try is to set the keyboard to one 'Language' (mine was set to English and English(UK) but I changed it to English(UK).
You can find this in settings/general/international/keyboards. This may or may not help -good luck with it all -
ok i just whiped the harddrive on my computer today and i just reinstalled itunes. Is there ANY way to get the songs i already have on my ipod to get into my itunes library so when i update my ipod it wont empty it? PLEASE HELP ME.
Thank you,
FabianoYou will have to use a third party program to copy from ipod to iTUnes. you ipod is not ment to be a backup of your music and you should make backups of your music once you copy from the iPod to iTunes/your PC http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/
You will have to first set the iPod to disk mode. To do this connect it to your PC, when itunes opens and says "This library is linked to another one do you want to delete blah blah" hit no, rightclick the ipod in iTUnes, hit options, then put a check mark beside "Enable Disk Usage". Hit ok
Now you can read the artical at iLounge here http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/ and/or use yamipod here http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
