Some imovie bugs, and a work-around for one!

CRACKING OF AUDIO IN CROSS DISSOLVES:
This one's been documented a lot - the crackling noise when cross dissolving two clips (anyone been following New Scientist? The podcast on 'crackling' is hilarious). I originally thought it was just a preview glitch, but the movie was actually exported with the sound error as well. It also applies to the titling.
Try this if this if: http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=858 doesn't work.
In my movie, I dissolve between shots with virtually the same ambient noise in the background. To fix the problem, I extracted the audio of the clip before the dissolve, copied and pasted it into the timeline after, and clipped it down to a size to cover the cross dissolve. Place it over the transition on the track below, and drop the sound on the transition to zero.
I appreciate this won't work in dissolves between sound fields or scenes and takes some time, but it sorted the problem for me.
OTHER BUGS:
- In the titling pane, the small thumbnail window does not always reflect the time and pause of the final render / 'preview' in full mode. the best example of this seems to be 'scrolling text' - its way out.
- as mentioned, sound dies when titles are added over moving clips. See fix above.
- copy and pasting of extracted audio seems random on the timetime - had to search up and down for where the program dumps it. Should paste at the playhead?
I'm sure some or most of these errors have been documented before. However, I found them all in a single use of imovie, and considering the programs in its 6th version, I consider it a poor performance... the audio problems particularly are unacceptable... does Apple presume that if you don't fork out for Final Cut, you don't need an editor capable of exporting a clean movie? From what I've read, some of these glitches have existed for a while.
If I've documented anytihng new, I hope someone who can relay them further does!

What I do is lock the punch-in in time, move it to an adjacent track, make a split in the track I punched in over and roll that track back to the extent of the punch-in and then move the punch-in back down to the original track.
Like your method it also sounds harder than it actually is :-)
It just goes to show there's more than one way to .....

Work around for deprecated getIds() and getSession()

Hi All,
As getIds() and getSession() methods of HTTPSessionContext are deprecated I need to know some work around for them. Can anyone please help me out ?
My problem is as follows -
My application has users who can have more than one login till a maximum number. After that maximum number is reached, if same user tries to make another login system will only allow him/her to make it after removing all of his/her previous logins. As a part of that, system should also delete all the sessions associated with those previous logins. Now the methods getIds() and getSession() being deprecated, I don't know how it can be done without going to some persistent data layer (like database).
I'm using WebSphere application server and the solution need to be applicable even for a clustered environment (i.e. I may need to put both of my web tier and application tier in a clustered environment).
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards,
Sourav

i don't know about handling the multi tier issue but you can easily put an instance into the ServletContext that keeps track of the associations between users and sessions and can react accordingly.

Hi,
I have installed Photoshop element 12 trail version in my system and i worked also for some days but it given error that "cannot load default brushes because scratch disk is full " but scratch is 158GB free why whats the problem am not getting.

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Work around for iSync and k800i calendars

Hi all,
I am using OS X 10.4.9 and iSync 2.4. On my Mac, I have to use Entourage to be able to use the email server here, so I sync my Entourage calendar with iCal by having 1 calendar in iCal called Entourage.
I have just bought a new SE k800i and when I first tried to sync, the contacts worked fine, however no calendars went across. I made sure the right calendar, in fact the only calendar, was selected in the iSync preferences but no joy.
I have no events that repeat further than June,so I'm not sure if that's the issue. Does anyone know of any work arounds for this?
Also, what's the best way to Sync, would it be via bluetooth or can I do it via USB?
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think slideshows (or the iPhoto library itself) is backwards compatible with earlier versions of iPhoto, but I'm not sure. If that's a concern, exporting the slideshow as a QuickTime movie might be the best option, but that's getting off the subject of the thread, so if you have further questions about that, you might want to take it up in the iPhoto forum where people more familiar with iPhoto will be able to help.
Regards.

Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
Procedure:
1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
4. Install iTunes 8.0
Here is where it gets dumb.
This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
Take care all.

I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.

Work around for server not found problems on FF36

I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

Well done. Thanks for finding that.
That is not only assigned but has an approved patch included in the scheduled Fx36.0.1 release so it should be fixed in few days, watch out for the upgrade.
* Bug 1093983 - DNS resolver should not use 'ANY' to get cached records for TTL <sup>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1093983#c35 c#35]</sup>
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2015-03-03#Schedule_Update
With the bug now fixed it would not really be appropriate to add further comment. I do now see another related bug assigned but not being fast tracked, so if all goes well that will probably land in Firefox 39.
* Bug 1138242 - DNS: Request A and AAAA record types rather than ANY when obtaining TTL on Windows

Work around for radio tuner service not working

A work around for the lack of radio tuner service that has appearently hit Itunes versions lower than 11.
We all hope that Apple will restore Radio Tuner Service for us legacy products users soon, but I've been thrown under the bus more than once by Apple in the last 25 yrs to put much hope in that (I started with an Apple III w/a Z80 card running C/PM, yeah I'm that old)
Have your iTunes and your favorite browser open.
In your browser go to http://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/BrowseStations/startpage.asp
This will give you a list of Genre's, etc of streaming internet stations.
When you select a genre you'll get a list of stations that shows station ID, what type of feed codec and data rate.
Select any of the AAC or MP3 feeds.
Select play.
This will send a small download file to your computer containing the selected feeds URL.
Your computer will ask what app to use to open the file, select iTunes.
This will automatically open a file called Internet Songs at the end of Playlists in iTunes (if you don't already have one), and will install the URL there.
All the stations you selected will now be permanently stored in Internet Songs.
Viola, your very own custom personal internet radio playlist!

Apperently iTunes 11 is not affected (Apple stil makes iTunes11 for the 14 yr old Microsoft XP OS, but not for anything PPCs can run. Go figure)
"Next door" to Steve was metaphoric, he lived in Los Altos, about 15 miles away, but he cast a big shadow!
On 9.2.1/10.4.11 differences, some time in the past someone selected 'save file' and checked the box 'don't ask again' on your computers dialog box. That's why you're not given a choice wih the file downloads. I would think that selection should be able to be reversed.
iTunes 9.2.1/OS10.4.11 puts those downloaded URLs into the Music Libary of iTunes, no matter if it's opened directly, or you click on the file on your desktop. You can create a new playlist, highlight the selection in the Music Libary, and drag it to your new playlist to keep alll the steaming URLs together. NOTE, this only creates an alias, the URL copied by iTunes must remain in the Music Libary. You can then delete the the files on the desktop, if you want. I did multiple stations this way in 9.2.1, they all show in either the new playlist created, or in the Music Libary, and remain after the desktop files are deleted and trash emptied.
You can switch sations by double clicking them. Another note, all the URLs were all from vtune.
I hope this helps.
PS, I forgot how clunky Tiger is compared to Leopard...

Work around for User ID 32 character limitation in CCX Agent?

Are there any kind of creative work arounds for getting past the ridiculous 32 character limit when logging into the CCX Agent?
We are moving toward using the User Principal Name (UPN) in CUCM LDAP which means that the domain is now tacked onto the end of their existing User IDs. We are doing this so that users from multiple domains can authenticate to various Cisco tools and apps. It works very well, except when firing up the Agent!
I've already been playing around with UPN suffixes, and while I can get them to show up in CUCM (and subsequently), I can't seem to get them to authenticate.
I shouldn't even have to get this creative, just remove the 32 character limit, Cisco!
We are running CCX 8.5 and CUCM 8.6

Hi ,
I am not aware about any such workarounds.
After referring to the below guide,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_8_5/configuration/guide/uccx851ag.pdf
On page 78, it is mentioned as,
Caution : When logging into Cisco Agent Desktop, agents use the Unified CM user ID and password. While the Unified CM limits agent IDs to 128 alphanumeric characters, the Unified CCX limits agent IDs to 31 alphanumeric characters. Be sure to abide by the 31 character-limit when configuring agents in Unified CM.
I am sure even if it works by some workarounds also, you may see some issues specially from the CAD\CSD\CDA side, which Cisco will not support it quoting the same above reason.
Hope it helps,
Anand

Work around for 60 column limitation

All,
Does anyone know of a work around for the 60 column table limitation?
Will this be changed in a future release?
Thank you.

I also need a workaround for this. I have users that want to download data as excel files, and the built in export to csv was working great until the dynamic sql statement pushed itself to more then 60 columns. Is there some other way to provide a link to the data as csv? Can I hook into the csv functionality of HTML DB? Can I create a page template that modifies the Content-Disposition and/or Content-Type so the browser thinks the page is csv/excel so that I could dump out a clob of data I put together? Should I just have a button that provides a link to something outside HTML DB to query and dump data from the database?
As it is, the users really don't need to see the data on the screen. I just need a way to dump 60+ columns of data to the user as csv.

Work around for Excel's array formulae?

I have an Excel spreadsheet which I have built over many years to manage maintenance tasks of my boat. I would like to convert this to run on Numbers. Unfortunately I can't find a work-around for Excel's "Array Formulas".
The column headers of my spreadsheet contain maintenance tasks (plus data on how frequently by days or engine hours these jobs need to done). When I complete a maintenance task, I log the date and engine hours in a new row with an "x" to signify that the job is done. Excel then looks up the date/engine hours when each job was last done (ie the lowest "x") and then uses conditional formatting to highlight the column headers of which jobs are overdue. Is there a work around for this in Numbers?
I attach an image shot of my Excel spreadsheet which may help:

Hi Rich,
Some made-up dates.
If you have multiple x's in a column, change all but the most recent to "Done" or something other than x This approach looks for the date in Column A that matches a single x in a task column.
This example works on years. I hope you change your oil and filter more often .
One Header Row and four Footer Rows. Enter Years between services (D9) from the keyboard.
To find the date of the last service (the only x in Column D)
D10 contains this formula:
=INDEX($A,MATCH("x",D,0))
You can Fill Right to other columns.
"Years since" (D11) contains this formula:
=YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(D10)
"Alert" (D12) contains this formula:
=IF(D11>D9,"Hey, You!", "OK")
Conditional Formatting in D12 sets the text to red if it equals "Hey, You!"
It would be best to combine these steps into one complex formula. Numbers is slowed down with each Header or Footer in a Table.
Regards,
Ian.

Some small bugs and errors

Hi,
In the meantime, waiting for the DPS network fix, I have some small bugs and errors to post:
#1: When signed ot from the folio builder panel, the click to create new folio message isn't useful, as it doesn't work. You must be signed in.
#2: "System Status" cut off on the DPS Status Website:

Hi Bob,
Just tested again. but nope, it doesn't work for me anymore. Since one of the latest updates, I can only create folios, when I'm signed in. Here is my video proof:
This is the case for me on two (tested) computers running CS5.5 and CS6!
That's why I thought this feature has been removed.

Any work-around for non-Lion-supported HP LaserJet printer?

I just upgraded to Lion, and while love many of the features (the new mail app is great), I just discovered that my 6-month-old HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer apparently isn't compatible with Lion. Does anyone have any work-arounds for generic drivers that might resolve this. As inexpensive as Lion is, I'd hate to have to buy a new printer just so I can take advantage of Lion funcationality and full iCloud capabilities. Thanks.

In preparing to install the drivers for the CP1510 series, I decided to download and reinstall the package for the CP1520 series. First, I also installed the firmware update, which had been released since I purchased my printer. Then I reinstalled the drivers using System Preferences, etc.
Lo and behold, the printer now works. For some reason, after the upgrade to Lion, the drivers for my CP1525nw stopped working, even though all of my other printers (1610, 2510, 2610, 2605dn) performed just fine without any jiggering after the Lion upgrade.
Curiously, my first attempt to download the software package for the CP1525nw wouldn't download, launching a dialog that says the driver isn't supported for this operating system. The HP website does not include the CP1525nw in the list of supported LaserJets, but elsewhere paradoxically claims all printers supported for Snow Leopard should also run on Lion, which appears to be true for the CP1525nw.
Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. It got me headed in the right direction.

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

Got error message with web based application that it would only work on MS Explorer 6.0 or newer. Any work around for this?

When accessing a web based program I got a message that it could only be accessed using MS Explorer 6.0 or newer. Is there a work around for this?

There is a way to do this.
But it works or not, I have no idea.
Enable "Develop menu".
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click the Develop menu and select "User Agent"
There are choices. Do not forget to make Safari default again afterwards.

Some imovie bugs, and a work-around for one!
