Speedgrade Render has several issues

So I'm currently trying to render out my project through speedgrade. At first I was planning on doing most of my coloring and then bringing the large project back into premiere for small tweaks and a final export, but it turns out speedgrade doesn't like the idea of easily giving premiere back the reins. I figured fine, I don't need most of my edit points now that I've done color, I can render it out to a big long .mov file, import that into premiere and line it up with the audio tracks letting me do what I need. I render a small 30 second chunk as a test so I don't have to do the full 30+ minutes to later find a mistake and I find something wrong. The video is slow. It is choppy and plays slowly and the audio moves at a normal speed so that by the time the dialogue comes up on the video, they have already spoken the lines 10 seconds ago. I messed around with some frame rate options to see if I could fix it there, but this didn't seem to work at all. At this point I'm scared to continue using Speedgrade as it seems I may have to start all over on what I have already done using Colorista or Apple Color. I like the program, has some nice things, but it has a bunch of things that drive me nuts and this is the icing on the cake. I need to be able to export a copy that plays in real time and lines up with its own audio.
As a heads up, the .mov file I used has the problem, so it is nothing to do with importing to Premiere. I exported with audio with the intention of deleting the audio track. The .mov file that is supposed to be 30 seconds lasts for a full minute and has audio that far outstrips the video. I tried messing around with some of the presets to do an H.264 or other formats and found that for some reason my color would be lost, in addition to the time still being off.

So I think I figured out what the problem was. Somehow the audio files inside of speedgrade are way the hell shorter than the rest of my timeline. The audio plays at normal speed and all of my video files somehow got extended out longer than they should be. Didn't notice before because the audio track was off the timeline in my screen and audio wasn't working in speedgrade(could only hear audio after it had been rendered out, had assumed it was aproblem with the render). Fixed the audio in problem in speedgrade and saw that the audio was off there, expanded the timeline view and saw it was way shorter. Now my confusion comes from wondering how the timeline got extended. From what I can tell you can't really extend clips except for individually(I imported my entire one hour or so timeline from premiere, so I have several hundred cuts), but this would have had to extend each and every clip just a bit to make it play slow, but not make any one clip seem like it was moving too slowly, else I would realize it was a problem with speedgrade and not a problem with insufficient hardware in my machine as I thought previously. I assume it has to be that dastardly 'optomizing timeline' thing that popped up a couple times while I was coloring, but that seems like a stupid feature for adobe to add, ruining my timeline with no way for me to fix it.
So I'm wondering, is there a way for me to fix it? Reduce the overall timeline back to the original length? If not, I've heard there is a way you can export all of the grading you have done to clips as .look files and apply them in After Effects, but I don't quite know how this process works, so if anyone could fill me in on that, it would be stellar.
Thanks for any help in advance, I decided to try out Speedgrade for the first time on this project to see how I liked it. It seems like a powerful program for doing color, but has a lot of little quirks that drive me nuts in comparison to just using after effects, or if you need it done quick and dirty, a nice 3-way color corrector in premiere.

Mini 1st Gen has Severe Issues After Update

Following the recent update, my Mini 1st Gen began showing various small issues. Last night, it randomly quit, and went to the lock screen, but the screen image was magnified hugely, 10x, and I was unable to maneuver into the password area. I attempted numerous hard resets, just getting the same unresponsive huge lock screen, and I was unable to completely shut the Mini off and restart. Eventually, it reverted back to normal spontaneously. Again tonight, it randomly went to the huge lock screen, same story, it seems as if it won't magically revert at this point though, rendering it unusable, at a time that I really need to use it. I'm beyond frustrated between the issues it was exhibiting: very slow loading, spotty internet connectivity, switching pages or areas without prompt, poor touchscreen response, randomly making words in messages all caps, or spacing them oddly, highlighting rather than performing the action when pressing webpage keys like 'Enter'....that's the start. I was frustrated then, but to have a completely unresponsive device now is infuriating me, as I see this is a universal issue.
I'm not sure what to do now, short of a complete reset from a laptop, which, despite saving to the cloud faithfully, will make me even more upset. We have faithfully owned and used Apple products...I still have the 1st Touch, and 1st IPad, plus numerous phones and other ipads along the way. So, not only are our devices rendered all but obsolete at an almost yearly basis, making their lifespan as the best, fully functional unit, with all available utilities at service, 1-3 years at BEST, forcing either an upgrade or resignation to the fact that your 8 month old device is no longer the newest available...so we have to deal with that. Then, there's the forced limited memory issue, which makes saving things to anything other than 'clouds' or expanding space not an option. Ok. Now, we have to deal with these incessant space gobbling IOS updates and mini updates to fix the last update which was supposed to fix glitches from the last update, yet manage to make our devices perform even worse, if, now, they bother working at all. To fix this issue, completely unrelated to consumer use-one must completely scrub their device and re-install months or years of info (if you are good and backed-ed it up!). This boggles my mind. Once or twice after initial IOS tests? Ok, I get that. But at this point, installing updates is like inviting a Pandora's Box to be opened, with no clue of the effect it will have, good or bad..,although it's getting worse and worse. All this with nary a comment, even a sympathetic nod from Apple. Certainly no reimbursement for the countless losses of time, money, apps, information, work or school...life interruptions. Just a new version every year and an open hand for payment. It's truly disheartening for loyal customers & consumers as a whole.

Double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn off Zoom. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this Off.
Also make sure that none of the items in Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut are checked.

Iphoto6: several issues: 1st my library is so messed up, everytime I delete a photo, in the next moment I look at a file the deleted photo has quadrupled, as with files, dates wrong

iphoto6: several issues: 1st my library is so messed up, everytime I delete a photo, in the next moment I look at a file & the deleted photo has quadrupled, as with files, dates are all wrong, missing a few years.............

Sounds like your database is damaged.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Several severe Issues with the Nokia 808 (camera, ...

Hey Guys,
I was a avid user of the Nokia N8 with its amazin camera features. So i made the switch to the 808. While the initial Impression was awesome, when traveling over the last few days my experience wasn't that great. There are several in part very severe issues i am having:
1st and foremost: the cameras automatic shutter speed is too low for nearly every shot. No, my hands are not too shaky, I've doing professional photgraphs since 10 years now and am able to shoot with 1/10th and lower. Yet, when enjoying a boat tour in Copenhagen and taking pictures of the passing scenerey, nearly all images have noticeable motion blur due to the slooooow movement of the boat. And this in bright daylight. The only way to bypass this was by using the sports mode - but then again you are limited to 5 megapixels. You can also notice the very long shutter time when simply taking a picture of your local metro station. MOst of the people walking by have motion blur.
This brings me to issue number 2: I really don't get why i am unable to influence the focus method. You get the Landscape and Sports mode (which use a fixed focus) but that's not available in the creative mode. So even when doing simple panoramic shots in the creative mode in 5, 8 or 34 megapixels the camera has to focus. Problem here: when shooting panoramic stills the focus sometimes decides to focus on a nearby person instead of the 'big picture'.
Issue number 3: When manually selecting a very low ISO value (for decent night shots) the Camera makes that artificial shutter sound WAY before the shutter actually closes. Therefore you THINK that taking the picture is already done and move the camera around. This results in awful images
Issue number 4: Battery usage is way to high on the 808. I was able to take my N8 around town all day, shoot over 300 (Yes, 300) images, do a bit of navigation, email, browse and tak without the battery being drained below 15%. I ran out of battery with the 808 after only 136 images, 15 mins of Navigation, Wireless Lan and 3G turned OFF. So the entire point of having a device that combines phone and camera and lasts all day is simply gone I had usage times of 3-4 days with the N8 (when not on vacation) - the 808 is drained after the first night under the very same conditions.
To sum it up - i'd like to see the following things fixed/added:
- Behaviour of the automatic shutter
- Option to manually select shutter
- Option to select different focus methods (on / off ) in creative mode
- BATTERY USAGE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED!
- black on white color theme for email
- ability to select multiple images in album view like before
- ability to get additional information on the image like with the n8 when you press and hold and select 'details'
- Ablity to turn of autofocus in video mode
- when deleting an email while reading the email, display the previous mail instead of the inbox
Would be great to get some feedback from you guys on that!
thanks

Hello…I own an 808 PureView device. At the outset, I must congratulate you for creating such a marvelous device. It’s in all dimensions a brilliant Smartphone and has no major lags except a few which I would like to mention as suggestions to improve the general smoothness and usefulness of its User Interface (henceforth-UI).
The in-built gallery lacks ‘mark multiple items’ option which, if integrated, can be fruitfully used to delete or send multiple items though Bluetooth. Also, the in-built gallery lacks ‘renaming’ function which would otherwise be helpful in organizing the gallery items, and in giving custom names which are easy to remember and deal with.
The generic MUSIC PLAYER lacks the track/music search function from within the music player, and so, to search a song out of the vast collection, the user has to use the generic SEARCH application by exiting or minimizing the music player, which in itself is a cumbersome exercise. The search function, if integrated into the music player, will help a great deal in making the music experience really customized and precise as also time saving.
The in-built VIDEO editing options available in the video viewing dashboard are relatively much naïve and rudimentary as compared to PureView’s lesser predecessor, the N8. Now, since 808 is a full-fledged camera Smartphone, it is bit logical on part of the user to expect the video editing dashboard to be as efficient and complete as the photo editing dashboard of the same is. Advance options like adding music clip can be added to the video editing console to mitigate the need of using any third party application to do so, and thus, it will further enhance the utility drawn from the cell-phone UI in terms of video editing and viewing.
The generic MESSAGING application has the default view as CONVERSATIONS view and manual selection every time is required to switch the view to FOLDERS mode. If there had been an option to make a choice in setting the folders view or the conversations view as default as per users convenience, it would have been again a smooth messaging experience.
To end up, the generic CONTACT application lacks the facility to edit the contact labels unlike the one which was available in S60 V3 devices (I owned N79 prior to owing 808 PureView and so I am well aware of this utility). Facility to edit the contact labels makes it easy to differentiate between multiple contact numbers of the same contact so as to have an ease of remembrance and clarity of use.
I earnestly hope that Nokia will incorporate some or all of these suggestions in the next-to-come firmware upgrade for Belle FP1 devices. These modifications/additions, if done and made, will make the Belle OS fully competent with its various other contemporaries as it just lacks these things but otherwise is a fluid and extremely useful OS. I request you to kindly pay due heed and consideration to my observations and work towards making the Belle OS an all-encompassing mobile platform. Thanking You.

Several issues - are they related?

I've been experiencing several issues with my new IMac, and I wonder if they are related.
First, the Adobe Flash plug in for Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. Then, Safari would start closing on its own. Finally, IPhoto also would suddenly quit.
This morning, I tried a manual update of software. It stopped about 3/4 of the way through with a message that the update may have been corrupted. It will try the install again the next time Updater runs.
I thought of putting these issues out there on their respective software forums, but I am guessing that they are all related since they all happened at the same time. Thank you, in advance, for any clues you can give to solving this mystery.

Hi-
Please clarify- which iMac are you using? One of the new 27" or 21" iMacs? If not, what exactly?
First, the Adobe Flash plug in for Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. Then, Safari would start closing on its own. Finally, IPhoto also would suddenly quit.
What exactly is happening here? Is some flash playing, and then suddenly without any error message Safari quits? What website? All or just some (or random?)
Immediately after safari quits, iPhoto also quits? No error message- it just quits?
This morning, I tried a manual update of software. It stopped about 3/4 of the way through with a message that the update may have been corrupted. It will try the install again the next time Updater runs.
Please explain- exactly what do you mean by 'Manual Update of software?" Exactly what file did you download from Apple.com to do this manual update?
I thought of putting these issues out there on their respective software forums, but I am guessing that they are all related since they all happened at the same time. Thank you, in advance, for any clues you can give to solving this mystery.
There are a lot of variables going on here- maybe it is all related, or maybe not. We need to isolate some of these variables so we can troubleshoot in a systematic way.

Several issues

I have several issues that need to be fixed:
1.Microsoft excel files won't open when I double-click the document. I have to open Excel, then open the document from Excel.
2. If I try to do a system restore, it won't restore.
3. laptop no longer reads CD/DVD's.
4. The speakers do not work. I have to plug in headphones to hear sound.

1.what if you right click the file, select open with, then chose excel and then check the 'always use this program to open this kind of file' option and select ok?
2. What's the error it gives you?
3. How old is the laptop? Do the discs spin? Does Windows even see a drive there? Have you considered using a cleaning disc?
4. You could also plug in external speakers into the headphone jack, but start with making sure everything looks right in Device Manager

SEVERAL issues with my Nexus...

I've had this phone about 100 days - give or take.
Phone history: Use the factory wall plug every night. I will also often have to top-off at work via a USB cable hooked to my laptop computer. I'm in a WiFi environment almost every day - I tend not to keep Data on. Actually, I generally only turn WiFi on when I need it.
Issues:
When battery gets down to 14% - the low battery warning will not go away. It comes back repeatedly until phone is either dead or plugged in. Basically renders the phone useless (pretty sure I've read a thread on this)
Battery icon will often show the "bolt" when not plugged in; and often won't show the "bolt" when plugged in (read about this one, too)
USB connectivity icon will often stay after phone has been unplugged from USB / computer charger
When battery gets down to less than 50%; often times the screen will come on as if the power button has been tapped
Often cannot turn data on with either phone controls or via a widget - must reboot phone to get data to work (WiFi has no issues coming on/off)
herky/jerky movement of apps (Euchre, Angry Birds, etc) as they're being utilized - even after clearing "recently run" apps. Sometimes even does this after re-boot
Would really appreciate the advice from one of the "Pros" on what I can do with this cruddy phone.

Ah... I can't just "return it".
I purchased it online through Target.com mobile phone site. *sigh*
The local corporate store told me to just be sure and utilize only the factory wall plug for several days and hope it remedies itself thinking it was due to having used a non-standard plug for a few weeks + computer USB.
As I type this reply right now - I do remember that I didn't use the factory wall plug exclusively at first. Guess that may be relevant, eh?

Several issues with iTunes syncing

Okay so I have an iPhone 4s 32GB iOS 6.1.2. an recently purchased a new windows 8 laptop that has iTunes 11 on it. I find several issues and have not been able to resolve so hopefully someone will have some suggestions.
1. iCloud will not back up contacts
2. iTunes will only show 11 of my 200+ purchased songs
3. iTunes sync over wifi shows my old laptop (which I removed before syncing with new computer) but will not show the new laptop.
4. After I purchased about 5 new songs and a few apps I attempted to sync with iTunes on the new laptop and while all my songs and apps from my last sync are there I cannot get the new items to sync back to iTunes no matter what I do.
I have turned off iCloud and backed up to iTunes via USB but still nothing is working. I have seen lots of other forum posts here and all over the web but none of the problems or solutions seem to fit my situation exactly. I am hesitant to reset the phone because I dont want to loose my contacts or the new content I have purchased. Any help would be awesome.

UPDATE. I did a reset and it did remove the old computer from my Wifi Sync screen but now my personal hotspot option is gone, I cannot connect to wifi at all and I still cannot get the phone to sync to iTunes.

Several issues with CS3

I have several issues with CS3. When I used Contribute 2 I
had no problems with the following.
1. I've imported from Word & copy & pasted but when I
align photos left, text on right and then publish, the pages goes
kookie and all out of alignment
2. Not able to resize/change color of text on master page but
am able to only when I make a new page
3. I get spaces between lines when I don't want them and
can't get spaces or move text over when I want to
4. I noticed that on my edit pages, sometimes the content
changes font size but it's okay when published
Can anyone help ? Thanks

That's right. If you type text and select one of the

But, as soon as you try to change color, font size, or any
other attribute,
Contribute will create a new style all on it's own.

I looked at your style sheet. You only have white and black
as font colors.
The red color is a result of a Contribute-created style
(style 4) in one
instance and a font tag in another instance.

The code doesn't really look all that good. For instance, on
the Conference
page, it looks like, for the photo cutline, you simply hit
the space bar to
move the text over to try to center the cutline below the
photo. You -could-
just create a centered style or tell Contribute to center
that paragraph and
it should create a centered style for you.
When I paste from a Word doc, I try to paste as unfomatted
text.

My iphone 4s and ipad 2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi but non-mac lap top has no issues

my iphone 4s and ipad2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi.
About three days ago the ability to connect came and went and the connection never lasted more than 10-15 minutes; it has not been able to connect since last night. I do not think it's my wifi router as non-mac lap top has no issues. I have seem many similar questions posted.

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds. Also, if your router still has its default SSID (such as LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc) change the SSID to something unique. Note that all other devices on your network will have to be reconnected if you change the name, but if the name is still the default that is most likely your problem.
If the SSID is not the default then the reboot should fix it.

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

The Mac HD has booting issues - how do I make a clone that is free of these?

I spilled water on my MacBook Air (10.6.8) and now it has booting issues.
When I shut it down, the power button doesn't work to boot it. But when I close the lid, it powers up. However even when I shut it down AND close the lid, it keeps booting up and staying on.
So I have to send it for repairs.
I cloned the Mac HD using Carbon Copy Cloner and put the clone using Migration Assistant onto the new machine (MacBook Pro - 10.7.2). Now the MacBook Pro won't boot at all. Before this, it was working fine.
So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
I have to make a clone of the MacBook Air before I send it off for repairs as the last back up is quite old and out of date.
Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
I think the booting problem is a software problem because the MacBook Pro was working perfectly before I migrated the Mac HD of the MBA onto it, The MBP is only two days old. I migrated another Mac HD backup (one I made before the booting issues came up) onto the MBP on the first day I bought it and the MBP worked fine.
Do you think I will just have to clone things separately manually? I mean should I format an external hard drive, plug it in the USB port, and transfer the files I need to save? What files/folders should I save? Can I move folders or do I have to move files? I have many files in Desktop, Downloads, Documents. I also want to save my applications. I want to save the BookMarks of Opera, Firefox.
Will this take a long time? I have used about 200 GB of the MBA's hard drive.
Any advice? Thanks.
I don't use Time Machine and am not confident about using it. Will it be substantially different to CCC in the way it clones files? Will a Time Machine clone after migration contaminate the second computer with booting issues?
I am not so worried about the booting issues on the second computer. I know it's from the faulty clone and nothing to do with the machine itself. I can take it to Apple Genius Bar and they will probably be able to reinstall a new operating system on the machine and I can start from scratch, I think. I am more worried about how to save and restore my data from the old machine. Thanks for any advice.

Ok, you used Migraine Assistant to try to transfer the account from the clone drive to the MBP and it didn't work, that's ok, it can be fixed by command r booting into Lion Recovery and simply erasing and reinstalling Lion from Apple's servers. (AppleID)
I suggest you transfer the account data manually because the clone is a copy of a failing drive/corruption, use the same name in System Preferences >Accounts, drag and drop files transfer and hold option key, click on Purchases in crapStore to redownload to the new machine, install other programs from fresh sources. Cleaner machine that way. So that shoudl fix the MBP.
in the future, try to avoid Apple's "answers" like Migraine Assistant as much as possible, it's really not reliable in any sense in actuality.
So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
You can't boot a clone of OS X from another type Mac on another type Mac, only the same exact machine model.
In your case the Migraine Assistant didn't work, so you'll have to manually install.
Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
Well it's possible that Windows or something messed up the GUID partition map of the Mac, why it has booting issues. Likely why Migraine Assistant didn't work.
You'll have to set up BootCamp again on the new MBP machine, talk to Microsoft about validation on the new machine and return your Windows files, programs from fresh sources.
Likely you got malware and it was trying to write to the boot sector of the Mac, mistaking the MBR portion of the GPT for a full Windows one. This also happens when Mac users try to install Linux on their Mac's.
Unless you need full hardware performance, you really should look at virtualization software like VMFusion, Parallels Desktop or even VirtuaBox (might be outdated) and run Windows in a window on OS X instead. Much easier to recover from malware that way.
It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
Well if you make a clone, it's going to be junk any.
What you need to do is fix the new MBP machine first then use Firewire Target Disk Mode (firewire 800/400 cable and adpater if needed) and grab a copy of your files off the sick Mac or off the sick clone.
The drive is likely fine, it's just not booting and that could mean some sort of malware/drive/data corruption.
You'll have to install third party software on the new fixed MacBook Pro to read the NTFS drive format of the Windows 7 bootcamp parittion when the sick MacAir is in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

After upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).
