  • How do I restore a backup CD of iTunes? The process keeps stalling and quits responding

    iTunes stalls operation and quits responding when I try to import iTunes backup files from a backup CD. 68 files made it before it quit restoring the rest completely.
    Also, I downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of the program, however it shows up in the Task Manager as 32 bit when I attempt to end process. I have a new 64 bit machine.
    Any help would be appreciated. I want my 1,600 tunes back. It's driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.

    There is a 64-bit installer, but the core application is still 32-bit.
    iTunes hasn't provided its own CD backup routine for a couple of years. What was used to make the backup discs? Were they verified on the source computer? Do you still have it? Are the files on an iPod or iOS device?

  • Video stutter and artifacting -TM700k video imported using rewrap2m2v

    Guys,
    I imported a video shot in TM700 to my iMac late 2006 model running snow leopard, using the Automator tool of Alan Somersault -rewrap. While playing the resultant movie .m4v file I am getting a lot of video stutter and artifacting and the movie also quit couple of times while playing.
    Any suggestions on resolving this?
    Thanks

    The movist application actually drops frames during playback to avoid the stutter you've described.
    This of course is good for preview. The only other way (within consumer segment) is to get a computer which support hardware accelerated playback, i.e. a later Mac models. However, as hardware acceleration is early, stutter still occurs for some applications but that will improve over time.
    If you want to go the free route, use Rewrap2M4V to rewrap the video files to a more friendly format and then use MPEG Streamclip to actually convert the video to a less compressed format.
    If you want an "all-in-one" solution, try VoltaicHD for ClipWrap.

  • Automatically open and quit app at specific times

    I want to open the DVD Player app at a specific time in the morning and have it play a DVD all day (it's looped). I then want the app to quit at a specific time at night. The computer will go to sleep from when the app quits until right before it opens (I have that part figured out).
    Can someone show me how to open and quit the app at specific times or point me somewhere where I can learn how to do this? I'm an AppleScript newbie, so explanations are grateful. I will be using a Mac Mini for this installation.
    Thanks!

    Use iCal alarms to run the following scripts:
    tell application "DVD Player" to run
    tell application "DVD Player" to quit
    Each line is a separate script.

  • HELP! How come I can't 'save and quit' any longer with this new ver of Firefox? Does anyone know how to fix this?

    When I updated Firefox I have now discovered I can no longer action the 'save and quit' function when closing down Firefox! Is this a common problem and more to the point is there a solution to this?? ie, change settings or some form of patch??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this function WAS awesome when needing certain tabs kept open.

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

    Hi everybody,
    I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
    Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
    The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
    The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
    The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
    Anybody experience on this?
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
    What are you using to check graphics performance?

  • I understand the design change to the whole "save as app" tab, but I feel that Save and Quit feature from the previous version of Firefox is much better than this "app tab" feature. Is there anyway for me to have this back?

    Restore previous session button available on my Firefox homepage is great, but what I really want is the Save and Quit feature. I have always felt that its one of the best features of Firefox, second only to search address bar directly leading me to the actual page. I read some threads about this, and found the answers very unconvincing. One of the suggested ones was "Pin as app tab" . No, I don't want to pin every tab that I want to visit say, thrice as an app. Second suggestion was, click on the obvious button on the homepage to restore the tabs(this took me quite a while to actually see). Why this change in design? This is identical to Chrome's but its very inferior to what Firefox already had. Is there anyway, without downgrading of course, I can get that feature back?

    Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

  • On my iPad Air Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow.

    On my iPad Air , Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow on an internet site. Sometimes it doesn't crash but the slideshow is freezes. Any idea why?

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Some times Safari crashes and quits the first time I click a link

    Hello there
    As the title says, some times Safari crashes and quits the first time I click a link on a webpage (after opening one or more bookmarks). Upon reopening Safari, everything is fine.

  • Logic Pro 9 won't save, hangs and quits??

    I have just installed the latest software Logic Pro 9 with the latest update.
    It won't save it hangs and quits??

    First of all, you are still in Learn Mode, as the button on the bottom right is still darkened. Click it so it becomes lighter, meaning learn mode is no longer active. Then proceed to delete all the assignments, in your screenshot I can see the top message is assigned to A#1 (look at the "input Message" values on the right). But the rest of the assignments do not look like you conciously made them, it's a bit of a mess. You should be aware that cmd-L opens the CA-window, and engages Learn Mode, meaning that whatever is the very first MIDI message you send will be "learnt" as a controller assignment, and it will no longer be availbale as regular MIDI. That's how notes can "disappear" if you're unaware of this function. To open the CA window without engaging Learn Mode, use cmd-K.
    (and clicking on the smaller picture will present the full size picture, no need to add that extra link.)

  • How do I get my "save and quit" back after updating to the latest version of Firefox on a PC?

    How do I get my "save and quit" back I do not like having to close all my tabs and loose all that every time I close out of firefox. When I got the latest version of firefox I lost the ability for firefox to save my tabs when I close out of it. I have to go through the process of opening all my tabs and refinding the sites all over again each time I load up firefox. I can not find the place to change the settings to being back the way they were before firefox got the latest version. I want my "save and quit" back.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How do I "save tabs and quit" in this new version of Firefox, as I did in the older version? I want to be able to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer.

    In an earlier version of Firefox, when I went to close it, I would get a prompt "save tabs and quit?" that allowed me to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer. Where is that feature on the new version of Firefox?

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • "Save and quit" doesn't work anymore

    FF4 DOES ask me if I want to "save and quit" at the end of a session and I always click "yes" but when I bring FF up the next time NONE of my pages come up.

    You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints part of page and quits

    My brahd-new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints part of page and quits.  The manual said to clean the print heads and align the printer.  I did both of those.  It made the problem worse.   I'm printing on photo paper - HP Premium Plus.  It happens about 1/2 the time. 

    Hi beantowner2,
    I would like to begin with a few questions,
    Does this happen when you copy a photo, or only when you print form the computer?
    Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector?
    What operating system and version is on the computer?
    Is the printer connected to the computer with a USB cable or wirelessly?
    If you have a WIndows operating system please download and install the latest firmware version for the printer. HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware.
    If you are using a surge protector, I suggest disconnecting and connecting the power directly to a wall outlet.

    hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please try to remove all program rules for firefox in your firewall and let it detect the program again: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
