Red Box: Poster Frames missing - Help please

Directing/Editing a feature documentary.
I have come home from my trip to NYC to find about 5% of my poster frames in my assorted timelines are now red boxes...Is there a global way to reset this so that all my poster frames come back?...I have tried by Safe and Unlimited under the RT button in the assorted timelines, but that does not seem to make a difference.
I'd be grateful for your immediate advice.
Thanks.

Welcome to the family.
Open the manual or the online help system, look in the index for reconnect media.
That should do it but you haven't supplied much information.

You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes support. Click the Support tab above, then the Get Started link in the Contact Apple Support area and you'll be guided.

Timeline Poster Frame Missing

Hello
I inadvertently opened an FCP project with one of my Xserve RAIDS offline. When the project opened, media was reported missing. I quit FCP without saving the project, restarted the Xserve, and restarted FCP.
Now, the Poster Frame on the Timeline shows Media Offline, even though it is not. The "missing" media plays back perfectly.
So, my question is how to get the Poster Frame back on the timeline?
Thanks

Click on the timeline. press shift+Q to bring up system settings, see where your Thumbnail Cache is located, navigate to this folder, and trash it.
Or, just trash preferences.

User Settings Suddenly Missing - Help Please

Greetings!
I have an iMac G5 Rev B running 10.4.2. Yesterday, everything was running fine. I only did some Web surfing and e-mail, didn't install anything. I quit the open programs, logged out, then shut-down the system last night. This morning, it came up okay. I logged into my admin user account, the only account on this system, and noticed my wallpaper had been reset to the system default. Also, the dock was not as I had set it. I reset the wallpaper photo and dock settings, then started Mail. Mail came up as if it had not been run before, wanting to run through the set-up proceedure. I quit it, and began to wonder what had happened. I checked Dashboard, and it only had the default widgets installed, none of the others I've installed in the past.
I've searched the forum, but haven't found a solution yet. I've run MacJanitor and have repaired disk permissions. I've restarted in Safe Mode, but still have the problem. I am not running File Vault. As far as I can tell, I have not changed the name of the home folder (I certainly didn't try to at any time). I only see my home folder and the Shared folder under Users.
I've been using Macs for a few years now, but am still new to troubleshooting them. Not sure what to do. I'm of course hoping to recover my user account and data. I can see the iPhoto and iTunes libraries, but not sure I can see Mail's local mail file, or Safari's bookmarks.
Any advice and guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Gary

To clarify a bit, I haven't opened iPhoto or iTunes, but can see the data files in Finder. The Mail and Safari data files seem to be missing. I opened Safari for the first time to respond to your post (originally posted my support query from my work PC), and as I suspected, my bookmarks are missing. It's as if I'm in a new user account. Very strange indeed! I'm hopeful the good folks here can help me resolve this problem and regain control of my user account and data.
Thanks!

Want to change frame rate, help, please !!

hi all,
i want to know whether, jmf does provide any support for changing the frame rate ? is there any ways by which one can change the framerate, of a live captured video ?
i came across one class "FrameRateControl" in jmf, tried it, but wasn't successful in changing the frame rate. plz help me guys.
if u have came across, when doing live capturing using jmstudio, we can change the frame rate. can we do that in our programs tooo.
please someone, wew64, watergad.......... help me out..........,
thanks for ur help.
niraj.

the code is here and it is working on windows, but the framerate could not be changed on linux. it keeps saying rcFormat is null on linux. Then I try to change the framerate with JMStudio, it doest not make any difference as well, it seems keep playing the video with preferred frame rate as well. Any ideas?

I can't connect to X-box live anymore! Help please!

I've had xbox live since Sunday and it's worked fine since then. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G with Microsoft's own wireless adapter. When I first got it hooked up, I was using WEP and the xbox live lady on the phone told me to use my phone number for that code and it connected right away after some power cycling. Well, this morning I went to connect and it wasn't working at all. It get's to the IP address and fails. I called xbox live on the phone again and they told me to use a WPA code that I got off my computer. So after half and hour and more power cycling, it connected and after I hung up the phone with the lady, it became unconnected again. Ok, obviously I'm not the smartest person when it comes to this stuff so I REALLY need some guidance on how I should do this. Should I be using WEP or WPA and why can't I stay connected?

Acces setup page of router .....
Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub
tab "Port range forwarding"
1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip
address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.
2)   On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip
address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.
3) Now save the settings
4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration"
and disable the UPNP and save the settings.
5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox
   ip address :- 192.168.1.20
   subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0
   default gateway :- 192.168.1.1
Please assign the dns address on the xbox
primary dns :- 4.2.2.2
secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
6) Please try to test your xbox live.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so 'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
cat
dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
This is the script I have so far
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
    aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
    aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

Moved user - files missing - help please

My hard drive is about full so I installed a second, much bigger drive. I want to keep the small drive as the boot drive and use the new drive for data. So..... I moved the user files to the new drive. Now lots of file, most importantly some pictures, are missing. How do I tell the system where to look?
Thank You

I have not continued to use the computer at all. I shut it down when I discovered the problem and have been using a different computer to access these boards.
How did I end up with empty folders? I don't know, doesn't make sense to me. All I can tell you is what I did.
First I moved the entire user folder from the small drive to the large drive. Then I spot checked folders and files inside the user folder hierarchy on the large drive.
When everything appeard to be there, I deleted the user folder on the small drive and shut down the computer.
Later, I discovered the empty folders on the large drive.
So, after attempting data recovery, I probably will reinstall the system. That brings me to a whole new set of questions.
How do I change where Safari, or FireFox writes the cache?
How do I change where the OS X diskUtility save data in preparation to burn a disk?
How do I install the system so that the system files and possibly the applications and utilites are on the small drive, but all data files, including the user folders and all cacheing files, are on the large drive?
What data recovery and/or disk maintenance software do you recommend? ( I can't see the link you mentioned.)
I'm familiar with Unix, but forget it underlies OS X. Else I might not have tried to just move the user folder.
Thanks
Thanks

I'm losing my emails from my inbox and my trash. Also an email has gone from my inbox and appeared in my Sent box Can any one help please?

My emails keep disappearing from my Inbox and also my Trash. They arrive, manually summoned ,not Push, and I read them and they can disappera in front of my eyes or if I close the Ipad and then reopen Mail Inbox they just go. One has reappeared in the Sent Box but most have just gone. My Sent box has only got 3 in it, the others had 3 1 hour ago, they have now gone. They will also go if I recheck for mail. Pleas has anyone any idea what has happenend and how I get this sorted?

I usualy have my PC on at the same time as the IPad but I am not always checking for emails at the same time as I am checking on the iPad.
Are you accessing the account with an email client on your computer such as with Outlook or Outlook Express/Windows Mail?
If so, when the email client is launched and running, it is not set to automatically check the account for new messages?
I have just changed Removal of Deleted mesages to Never in Advanced Settings but it's too early to see the effect.
If you are accessing the account with an email client on your computer, what is the account setting with the email client on your computer for removing messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client? With a POP account that is accessed with another email client, this should be set to Never. If the messages are removed from the server after being downloaded with the email client on your computer, the messages will be removed from your iPhone as well.
If you created the account on your iPhone using the Yahoo account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account on your iPhone. If you are accessing the account as a POP account with an email client on your computer, this can lead to problems - accessing the account as an IMAP account with one email client and as a POP account with another.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

Earlier Post - still need help please!

Earlier I said I was getting the message (The document “7/11Diverticulitis.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format). Several people made suggestions. I tried all of them. #1 I renamed the files and tried. #2 I made sure I selected acrobat 9 as the application I wanted to use while opening a document. #3 I tried to delete and reinstall. I cannot install it for some reason the process does not auto install from my CD? Now what, I have already dumped my prior Adobe Acrobat 9 pro into the trash and emptied it! I am so confused. I use alot of pdf files as I have gone paperless. Before I created and read them with ease. Why would this happen just because I upgraded to a new computer. Again I am on OSXversion 10.6.8 Thanks for anything you can do to help!!

You may have to start the computer from the Installer boot disc and choose
from the menu options (not reinstall, again) to reset the Admin password.
It could be the same one you had before, if you like.
Did you do an Archive and Install -or- an Erase and Install?
How full is the hard disk drive? After it seems OK for awhile
you may decide if anything of value is in the old system and
if not, you could delete it. You may have to start up in SafeBoot
and run the built-in Disk Utility's "repair disk permissions" and
restart; there are some things other things you can do to help it.
Hard saying why the computer acted up. If the drive is getting
more than 70% full, you should be looking to archive files off
the machine's hard disk drive and then reduce its load.
How long have you had this computer, and what is its configuration?
PS: it would have been nice if you could have started a new
thread earlier on and kept the topic of your computer in there.
I see an earlier thread where the error message was a launchd
message, and that may have been helpful to know all the story.

Help please.trying to create pdf fillable form

Hi,
I created the form (see attached)...but I can't figure out what these characters are for and how can I delete them. Look into the boxes and it shows t and e. I am so frustrated with this. Don't know what I did to create them, but all I need is the blank field and/or box for text. Help please. Thanks.

You didn't delete the text field labels. Move the yellow bars on you text fields to the right and you will see the labels. You can delete the label or use the area for your labels instead of additional text boxes. Using the fields will give better alignment for you text

Please help with a Poster Frame

I have imported an FLV into Flash using "Video Import" and selected a prebuilt skin that gives play, volume and caption control. The movie has autoplay turned off so when I viewed on the webpage it shows a black first screen and the skin beneath it. I would like to insert a poster frame that will hide when the user presses play on the skin. I was a novice with AS 1 and 3.0 is making me facepalm. Please help, I've already tried Flashkit and Actionscript.org and not gotten any answers. Thanks!!

Okay in Frame 1 I have an AS layer I copied your code into, layer two is the movie clip with the image named 'myPoster' and the third layer contains the FLV playback named 'myVideo' so I changed the names in the code to:
mvVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f):
function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
removeChil((myPoster);
I get the following compiler errors and publish preview shows just the image:
Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 1 1078: Label must be a simple identifier.
Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 4 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
So I tried modifying the code to:
mvVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
removeChil((myPoster));
Which fixed the original errors but still only the image shows and I get new compiler errors.
Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 4 1180:Call to a possibly undefined method removeChil.
Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 4 1120: Access of undefined property myPoster.
Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 1 1120: Access of undefined property myPoster.
Thanks for your patience and help!

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.
