Reason why FCPX 10.0.3 is constantly hanging
How to reproduce the beach-ball hanging problem I am experiencing in Final Cut Pro 10.0.3.
Open Activity Monitor (Not part of the bug, but to monitor disk activity)
• Make sure an Event created in 10.0.2 (Or possibly earlier) is in the Events Folder, and will be opened. In the event must be some standalone MP3 audio files.
• Open Final Cut Pro 10.0.3 (I am using an iMac 27" 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12GB RAM, Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2)
• In the Event are MP3 Audio files.
• Click an audio file. FCPX will hang. Look at Activity Monitor, and under disk activity you'll see your HD being read at around 15.5mb/s while FCPX is "scanning" or doing something with the audio file. After some time (depending on how big the MP3 is) it will finish and give you back control.
• This will repeat for EVERY MP3 file.
• This happens only once per file, but will repeat all over again if you close FCP.
Some notes about the MP3 files: They were recorded on a Zoom H1 recorder at 44.1khz, 320kbps. Some of the files were opened and edited, and resaved into that format.
This problem seems connected to beach-ball hanging across the program. When working on a project, if there is an audio file anywhere involved (compound clip, on timeline) the app will hang, scan that file, then resume.
I am submitting a bug report right now: bugreport.apple.com -
Can anyone else confirm this audio issue? If you are not having this problem, maybe its a clue to how to get my FCP Event working properly again.
(I made a post that discusses my findings, https://discussions.apple.com/message/17537097#17537097 but I wanted to create a thread that was more appropriately named, easier to read, and might help myself and others find a solution.)
Hey grandtheadmiral,
After I posted about my own audio issue I spent probably 3 hours on the phone with Apple. Before calling them I had narrowed it down to it crashing for audio files but hadn't narrowed it to mp3s. After they couldn't figure it out, I trouble shooted it and figured out that my problem is exactly as you described here, except that it would 'hang' for very long times because most the mp3s I work with are 2 or more hours in length. I was calling it crashing because I'd force quit just to stop it. I called them back on my support ticket and they indeed confirmed that it was an issue, and a bug they had not found yet and were going to report it to their engines. They did not have a fix for it.
I deleted the files in the original media in my event, reencoded all mp3s to wav using quicktime 7 or audacity and then relinked them in the events. Everything works fine now. My projects started without a hitch.
One of the pitfalls of FCPX for me has been how easy it was to use compressed media. Using Wav or AIFF is standard production practice and I had become lazy with FCPX. Guess I should of known!

Found the reason why my battery life was short
As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them. -
Reason why file can't be deleted?
When I want to delete a file via
file.delete()
the result is false. No IOException or other Exdeption just false. But what is the reason? When I try to delete the same file from another (simple test) application, i can delete the same file (result = true).
this happens for any new files in my directory. So, how can I find out the reason why the result is false and the file is not deleted?yes, i'm pretty shure as i open the file to zip the
content to a new zip file, closing all the
input/output streams and then to a delete on the
original file. no exception, no error it just doesn't
get deleted and the return value is false. :-(
btw: the original file is not read only or something.
the files i want to zip are generated/copied on the
fly. and after processing, i want to zip them (which
works) and delete the original unzipped files (which
doesn't work).I know the feeling. But I'm pretty sure the file you want to delete isn't in the mood to getting deleted -:). Give it another try. Explicitly close is. Then delete it. -
Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?
1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print. -
Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives. -
I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password.
All I did was place my phone on the charger, I then walked away for 10-15mins and when I came back it was asking me to enter my Apple ID password.
I never gave my password out to anyone ever and hardly anyone knows my email address.
I haven't recently downloaded anything either and I only have one apple device which is my iPhone 5s.
I just want to know really if it could have been because someone was trying to log into my Apple ID?
Please help with multiple reasons why this could have happened. I just want to know the options. Thank youMy iPhone 5s did the same thing yesterday. I have iCloud backup turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and that means it will automatically do a backup when the phone is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I had it charging and when I returned it was asking for the password and the prompt did identify that it was requesting it for the iCloud backup (something you may not have noticed if you didn't look closely).
It has never done that before and 2 iPads in my household have not yet done it. All are on iOS 7.1
I have found a report of the same issue by a user of the 7.1 beta and in that case it was happening every day. In my case I entered the password then went to the same area in Settings as above and used the "Backup Now" button to do a backup. I will see tonight when I charge again whether this is going to be an every day problem. -
Reasons why the E72 is NOT a 'smartphone'
Contrary to what Nokia says in its marketing blurb and what the dealer claims, the Nokia E72 (and by inference, others in its ilk) is NOT a 'smartphone' by any stretch of the mind. Yes, the E72 (and its predecessor the E71 and to a lesser extent the E63) are designs of beauty, good form factor, full QWERTY keyboard, brilliant screen, good camera and wonderful media compatibility features. But a 'smartphone' is more. The following are some reasons (having owned - and regretted big time - an E72 for the past 2 weeks:
1. Top of my complaints list is the fact that the E72 does not have a good desktop suite. The Nokia PC Suite that it ships with is a poor substitute. For one, it merely allows the phone's contents to be viewed on a PC screen; it does not allow for the phone's data to be viewed or manipulated offline. What this means is that the E72 must be connected to the PC for you to be able to see the contents. What a 'smartphone' needs is the ability for its desktop suite software to be able to be used even when the phone is not connected to the PC (ie offline). This requires a full copy of the phone's data to be stored on the PC and one is able to view, change, edit, etc this data.
Reasons why one wold want to work offline on the PC are many. Firstly, it lets you edit the data on the PC (much easier to work on a full PC than on an E72). You can input all your contacts data, etc on the PC then sync to the phone. Similarly, other data (such as diary events, notes, etc can be authored on a PC and then uploaded on to the E72. Additionally, one can use the PC Suite software as your main PIM (personal info management) software. But I suppose Nokia doesn't want people to be able to do that. What a shame, if that's what the modern day executive needs then he'll just go elsewhere.
Another reason why the PC Suite software should allow full data manipulation is ... what if your phone is lost, how would you access all your info (contacts, calendar events, memos, notes, etc)? Even if you have a daily backup, the Nokia user would actually need to acquire another phone (similar model or equivalent) and then do a restore. Until then, the backup file is of no use (because it cannot be viewed or manipulated). Such backup strategies (in proprietary flat files) are from the dark ages of computer technology! Nokia still believes it is cutting edge!
2. Nokia's PC Suite software is a joke. Not only does it require that the phone is connected to the PC for it to work, it actually handles data quite differently from the way the phone itself handles the same data! You can change the fields on the phone but not on the PC Suite, eg you can edit the field on the phone from "Mobile" to "Mobile 1", you can create a new field called "Mobile 2" but on the PC Suite, all you get is the standard "Mobile" and the second mobile field you create is not found! Wow, what synchronisation!
3. On the phone itself, a true 'smartphone' gives its user a multitude of options to do things his/her own way. In calendar events mode, I may want to set alarms 15mins before or 30 mins after! The E72 only allows before, that too only with a set of predetermined figures - ie I cannot set an alarm 23 mins before.
For some events, I may want to repeat the event and its related alarm on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. A professor may want to set a weekly alarm (starting from week 1 of the semester to week 14 of the semesster) for his lectures. Another person may want to set an alarm on a certain day of the month for his loan repayment to the bank. The Nokia allows you to set an annual anniversary alarm only. I cannot set an alarm for an event 3 days ahead (say, to give me advance notice to buy a present for a loved one!)
When editing calendar events, if you change a field but then decide to not keep the new figure, there is no option to cancel. Only the DONE button is present. You have to save (done) then re-edit the field. Silly.
Similarly the Snooze buttin ought to give the user flexibility to put the alarm off for any set of time. The phone may remind me of an upcoming event say 4 hours beforehand, I then need to put if off (snooze) for say an hour before it reminds me again. That's what a 'smartphone' does, remind you politely like an english butler!
4. The synchronising cable that Nokia ships with the E72 is another joke - its no longer than 6 inches long. Coupled with the requirement that the phone must be hooked up to the PC when doing any work on the PC Suite (see items 1 & 2 above), what if there is an incoming call? How do you answer the call with a 6 inche cable connecting the phone to the PC? Sure Nokia want's to make savings, but it should be practical.
The above are the main grouses that I have with the E72. As any reader can aappreciate, they are all related to the software side of the phone. At the moment - and with my unit being still new - I have not come across any issues related to the build quality. Yes the design of the battery cover seem flimsy. Its ok so far but I can see its not going to last that way for very long. Yes there is a bit of light leak directly under the Home key but I can live with it. The rear battery cover smudges easily and is a pain to keep clean, but hey, you can't have it all good.
But as far as the software side is concerned, yes, I do expect it to perform well in handling my data. We live in a modern world where most of us have an information overload in our daily lives. That's why we look forward to a 'business smartphone' - a device that is better than a personal assistant and one I can carry in my pocket. But when we have major global corporations such as Nokia promising you an 'advanced business smartphone' that actually falls three steps short, then I believe the public is being cheated for good.
I hope other readers would read this post and are better informed about what kind of device they'd be getting should they decide to purchase an E72. I also realise that Nokia may decide to edit (or even delete entirely) this post, but hey, if that happens, then I'd be promptem to post a copy of this review in a dozen other public forums.
Have a great day!
There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'You are correct, well done - it is my view.
But no, I am disabled and don't work for anyone, but I was a programming consultant.
If I'm buying or bought anything in the past such as an E71 or E72 then I make sure it can do what I need it to before hand. The E71 surpassed my requirements.
Mine came with a USB cable over a meter long, however I use bluetooth and need to do nothing - if my PC is on it knows my phone is there and visa versa without me doing anything (smart!).
The phone can access any of my PC files I require using the phone even when I am out and the PC is switched off. The phone tells me which bus stops to get off at and which way to go when I do. The phone can manage all my calls right down to tailoring for specific numbers and depending on my GPS location do different things. I can automatically order my repeat prescriptions from anywhere and watch live TV or stream my favourite radio stations wherever I am. I can use msn or any messenger, wherever I am - I could go on and on - my phone is definitely 'smart'.
Ovi is similar to PC suite but much more. You can sync contacts with the ovi server and then access them from any PC. I don't need that functionality so I don't know it very well but I have used it a few times. Ovi is Nokia's mobile web service, go to 'my nokia' to find out, its not difficult.
I have no need to read your post again, none of what you said justifies the heading you gave this thread.
If your beloved Palm is so great then go buy another one, why would we be bothered about them in this thread.
Bottom line is this, you have NOT given any good reasons why the E72 (or any E series phone) 'is NOT a smartphone'. What you believe we think about what is excellent is irrelevant.

Is there a reason why my ID3 tags won't update in the artist view in the music app?
I've never had a problem with messing with them manually in itunes before until iOS 5. For example, I don't like to see an artist repeated in the artist list, so I go through and edit all the songs at one to make sure that artist appears only once. I've tried doing it with the new OS but nothing updates. It's even gone so far as to completely omit any new artists that I have added. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Any other reason why this it's still under headphone mode?
I'm pretty sure the fact that it was in the washer is the problem. Just because you 'dried' it in the sun doesn't mean it wasn't permanenlty damaged. Try putting it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. If it still doesn't work, it's probably permanent. -
Hi
Can anyone help me in finding the reason why the date on e=mail reced is different from the one on my MacBook eventhough it is correct
ThanksTry this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

i just bought a new mac book pro 13'' and i bought a toshiba 1tb hard drive aswell, i formatted it to mac but it will not show up on my tv so i can watch movies? and solutions or reasons why?
TVs don't support "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", so you will probably have to use FAT32. To format the external drive, follow the same steps as you did to format it with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but in the erasing screen, select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". Note that FAT32 isn't compatible with files bigger than 4 GB. Also, you may have to format the external drive in a PC

3 reasons why i won't switch to Lightroom for now
Lightroom is so nice, so intuitive & user-friendly that I almost switch from Bibble to Lightroom even if there are some very important features missing in order to call lightroom a professional grade application.
Here are the major reasons why i wont switch to Lightroom for now:
1. Missing a good sharpening tool
2. Missing a good noise reduction tool like Noise Ninja
3. Missing an automated lens correction tool like PTLens
I think the last 3 will not be a problem any more when Adobe releases the SDK When do you think the SDK will be available ?
Would also be very useful:
1. Ability to export a slideshow to DVD (as a wedding photographer, i usually provide my customers with a low res slideshow of their pictures at the end of the wedding day).
2. Option to print to file or option to export to any color profile (the lab where I send most of my print work have their printer profiled & they provide those custom profiles). As a work around, i can for now have an export action that do the profile conversion thru a Photoshop droplet this work but would be better to have that feature built in
In order to work around for the print to file or to jpg file that Im missing, I tried 1 of those virtual printer driver like Miraplacid Publisher It does work but there seems to be a problem with color management... When I print from Photoshop to this virtual printer, I get a jpg file that match exactly what I see on the screen when I try the same with lightroom, I get a jpg file where colors are not exactly what Im expecting
Should those features be available, I would not hesitate even 1 minute to switch to lightroom.My answer to your reasons:
1) and 2) I just take care of taking sharp pictures. I can't see the need of a sharpening tool. I use LR as my digital darkroom, if I want to retouching a picture I have PS Elements and Noise Ninja. AND the new LR 1.1 has a much improved noise reduction and sharpening tool.
OK. I'm not saying that everybody should learn how to shoot properly so that the use of sharpening or noise reduction wouldn't be required, but there are IMHO other tools that can fit the requirements of the casual photographer or photoblogger.
The same for 3. I never needed any lens correction mechanism. I can't see a reason for that either. I don't have lenses that need any correction and I don't like to do fancy stuff on my pictures.
LR gives me exactly what I need, and waht I need is a program to download and work with several hundreds of pictures from my digital SLR, this means basically cropping and applying a colour profile. And IMHO LR does this pretty well, plus all the catalogue and managing stuff. I can care myself for the rest pretty well. -
Hi! I have a PC running on Windows 7 and recently I can not upgrade my iTunes. Any reasons why?
Many thanks, that's perfect.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?
I have created a 2-page form on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I emailed it to specific people and they filled it out, saved it and emailed it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?
That's what I asked the people I emailed the form to and someone just emailed me saying: "I'll check my adobe. It keeps asking me to update and I keep ignoring it so maybe it was my fault". So there is the answer I guess. I saved the document as an Extended PDF and selected Enable Additional Features. Is there anything else I should consider?

Anyone know the reason why app store in iOS 6 is crashing all the time?
Anyone know the reason why app store in iOS 6 is crashing all the time?
Tried everything. Reset my iPod touch to fresh version of iOS 6 and still issues. I believe that there is a bug.
APPLE: please FIX ALL THE BUGS IN IOS 6!!!!!! Please do it fast!!!I am having the same problem, but I think I might know what's causing it. I just updated my girlfriend's iPhone 4S (same phone as mine) to iOS 6 and was surprised to find that her app store is working just fine. When I opened hers, however, I did notice that the "Categories" and "Top 25" buttons are totally different; and those happen to be the two buttons that are not working for me. Mine shows the same that yours does, while hers has the "Genius" and "Charts" buttons in the place of the two that are not functioning for me. I believe these old buttons are no longer active and therefor are bombing out when attempting to access them.
Now I said I think I may understand the problem, but unfortunately I have no idea what the solution may be. Hopefully this tread doesn't fade away and our problem gets addressed.
