Successful update to 10.1 in mid-project?

I'm near completion of a video project, and I've used Migration Assistant to move my apps and files to a new Mac. Old system was a Mac Pro running Lion and FCP X 10.0.8. I still have the old machine and an HD with backup copies of all my FCP project and event files.
Trying to decide whether it's safer to work in the old version of FCP in Mavericks, or to update FCP and let it convert the files to its new housekeeping system.
At worst I'd lose any work I'd done since making the backup of my files, and would have to redo them on the old system. But I'd rather not.
Has anyone successfully updated FCP to 10.1 in the middle of a project?

I didn't try updating to 10.1 in mid-project. I would have if necessary, but in your case I can't imagine how that could be a good idea.
It was a major organizational update, but a very modest feature update. Updating always carries risks, which you have minimized by keeping copies of the app, projects and events on the other Mac. But we can't eliminate all risks (like time expended on troubleshooting) and it's hard to see how going from 10.0.9 to 10.1 would create enough advantages to make it worthwhile.
Once you wrap up the project, the update itself is quick. However, it will save going down a lot of dead end roads to get a really solid understanding of the new library structure and how it will affect your work. Apple has a good doc on this and there are many free tutorials by solid FCP X instructors such as this.

Is it OK to update to RH 9 from RH 8 mid project?

Can I easily work on a RH 8 project in RH 9? I may need to switch to the RH 9 version but I am in the middle of a project, and wonder if this would have any adverse effects.
Thank you!

Once you open a project in RH9 there is no going back. A message is issued warning you of this when you upgrade. For this reason it is better to take a backup of your RH8 project before doing anything. As for whether it is OK to upgrade to RH9 mid project, we can't say because we do not know what is inside your project and how you are using it. Personally I would never upgrade mid project, but that is just me. I recommend you download the RH9 trial, take the required backups, open your projects in RH9 and thoroughly test them before making any decision.

Updated to 2014 and cannot export project

I'm not an expert. I desperately need help. I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 (just updated yesterday to 2014, creative cloud, on Mac OS 10.9.4) to make a tribute video for my dad's memorial service and need to export it immediately! (by tomorrow). I've successfully used premiere pro CS6 for other projects this year, and just upgraded yesterday to the new version and worked for 15 hours to finish my project in the new version. Now I can't open my completed project in the older version.
When I went to export it, it freezes at "2% of 1st pass" and after an hour or so, my entire computer freezes and I have to force shut it down. (I am not having this computer issue with any other application that I use.) I continued to re-try to export it (with slightly different settings) 5 times, and now "export" under File is grayed out.
As far as export settings, please bear with me - I'm a novice. Every time I do ANYTHING in Premiere Pro, I pretty much have to search for a tutorial video for each step. From what I can 'remember', here's what I did:
1. rendered project from "in to out"
2. Export > media
3. chose h.264 (or something like that)
4. i think i selected something like "match sequence settings"
5. checked "render at maximum bitrate" (or high bitrate?)
6. selected "2 pass"
7. on the two slider things - about bitrate something, the bottom one I slid all the way to the right because that didn't affect the size of my project file, the top slider I only moved over to 14-ish. (I changed this setting each time I re-tried to export, in case it was the problem)
My file size was around 1400MB - its a 14 minute long project with video and still images put to music and voice over.
I'm really freaking out. If anyone is awake, reading this, and knows what to do, please help me!
Thanks for your patience. I'll try to give you as much info as I can remember, but I can't open up the export window anymore.

Sorry - bad forum form
I'm rocking Windows 8.1, i7, 20GB ram, GTX560Ti + GTX570.

Changed operating system mid project in Final Cut Pro

I was working on a Final Cut project and changed operating systems from Snow leopard to Mavericks in mid project. I have since changed to Mountain Lion as many of my programs were not comparable to run with Mavericks. My FCP project takes ages to render and auto saves every minute even though I have set it to save less often. Are these problems the result of changing systems. I only had a sense this was so after opening an old project and working on it and it running smoothly with fast render etc.
any help appreciated
Catherine.

Do a test. With the range tool make a very short range selection of your project and Share>DVD. In the export dialoge >Settings, choose Hard Drive for Output Device. Click on the Add button for menu background. When the next window appears, hit cancel. See if it exports and burns a disk image, If it does, try the complete project.
BTW, is your project length 79 minutes or 79 seconds?

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install iphoto 9.2.3 update...it says it has successfully updated - then on opening says: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install the new iphoto 9.2.3 update.
I have installed it several times both from the appstore and from Apple Support downloads...it says it has 'successfully updated' - then on opening iphoto, a dialogue box pops up and says:
iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
Thanks tons...

Thanks Terence,
I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

Hi,
This message appears when an update has been sent for his approval and is pending. It could happen while opening the project plan, or when clicking on something like "retreive tasks updates" from the backstage menu of MS Project Pro.
The PM should go to his approval center and check for any approval pending.

ProRes project - Convert to Proxy mid project.??????

Im working on a pop video...shot on a Canon 550d.
Ive imported the footage using the CANON conversion... I choose Pro Res .....(Not Proxy)
50fps 1280 x720...
Started editing and realized that I cant run Multicam on my set up.....grinds to a halt ( 6 angles)....
How can I convert to Pro Rez Proxy mid project and carry on working , then go back to the full Pro res for master.
Ive messed around with Media manager.... but not quite sure as the right wrokflow...?
Ideally I would like to edit in DV PAL ( like I used to on my old FZ1)..... BUT the system media manager wouldnt allow me to work in DV 25fps....
As the orginal foootage is all 50fps....
BUT PROXY may be the way to go....
Also I converted about 10 clips using Cinema Tools to 25fps for slow motion, this has given me exactly the same file names for the slow mo clips as the master clips...
Thus creating confustion when trying to re connect to higher rez formats.
ALL HELP greatly welcome....... .. Im sure im making it more difficult than it needs be...
THANKS
ROB

Global succession updates are limited to 500 relationships. If more than 500 exist PLM presents a warning message and does not execute the update

Global succession updates are limited to 500 relationships. If more than 500 exist PLM presents a warning message and does not execute the update.
How/Where to increase the relationship count?
The message which I can see :
Warning:
This specification has exceeded the number of parent relationships allowed by Where Used. The Where Used tool only supports up to 500 parent relationships.
Thanks

This really brings up a larger topic around change management.
The questions you should start with is
1. What kind of change is happening to the raw material?
2. Will this change affect anything upstream inside or outside of PLM4P? (Will this change affect nutrition, compliance, the ingredient statement, the label etc?)
3. Who needs to approve this change?
If they are non-material changes (changes that don't affect theoretical calculations, the ingredient statement, labeling, upstream systems that need to be notified etc) then you should be using get latest revision instead of global succession. Get Latest Revision will automatically switch out the material with the latest approved version. This logic is also configurable in case you need to add additional guard conditions. We can also provide guidance around locking the get latest revision lock once a specification has reached the retired/obsolete state so changes won't occur for specifications in those statuses.
If the changes to the raw material are material changes (changes that affect calculations, labeling etc) then the change should be reflected with a copy of the specification. Dependent specifications then need to be re-issued so calculations can be performed and the appropriate workflow reviews can occur. Smart Issue allows for filtering based on status and should let you re-issue in smaller blocks.
Let me know more about your change management strategy, how often large material changes happen and maybe example causes for those mass changes. We can also schedule a change management training session for everyone where we can share our vision and tools available for change management. This topic is quite large and generally requires a lot of business process discussion beyond just the tools available.
Thanks

HT1338 The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software

The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software ,not with /Apple/Software Update or /About this Mac or /System Preference/Software Update, the problem started already with 10.8 and I had to download the 10.8.2 Combo manualy, installation was succesful, but since iPhoto11 (9.4) is now available my existing iPhoto11 (9.3.2) will not detect updates using AppStore or all the other ways, Any idee is welcome.

Glad you got your Mac fixed. But I hope you realize that an update can always go awry; corrupted download, stray voltage spike in your AC power, even a bug in the Installer of the Update. That's why it's never a good idea to update anything that affects your business for at least a week or even two AFTER the update comes out.
And this applies not just to the OS Update, it may be even more important with an update to one of the apps you need for your business! 8-| There's hardly ever a valid reason to make an Update while working on a clients task. Certainly no reason to make an Update during the work week. That's what Week Ends are for! LOL!
Basic rule for the OS Update, for me, anyway, is to NEVER use the Software Update version. I ALWAYS go to the Apple site and download the Combo Updater. It's often much larger, but it's never failed me. Maybe just that fewer people are hitting that server! Who knows? Who cares?
Second basic rule, WAIT a few weeks to see if there are problems associated with any update. What's the advantage of being the first one on the block with a problem?!
Third basic rule, try the download a second time. Bits/electrons are very slippery! Some have been known to fall out of the Internet "tubes!"

HT4623 i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

I had the same problem. I reset my network settings as iOS 8 on my iPad 3 seemed a bit slow. When I tried to reconnect to the wifi the correct password was not accepted immediately.
after retrying several times it did manage to join the network. The only observation I had was that I had a weak signal and an iPhone next to me at the time.
make sure you are close to the wifi signal away from any other wifi devices.

Cannot successfully update any vaults

I just upgraded to Aperture 3 and since then have not been able to successfully update any of my vaults. The library became too large for the external drive that housed my A Vault so I added a new vault on a separate drive that has ample room. When I clicked the update vault icon, aperture said it was calculating disk space and then said it was updating vault. When the update vault scrollbar reached about halfway it stopped moving. I left it run overnight and no change. I was able to then just click on any image and the update bar disappeared as if nothing ever happened. I checked the external drive to see if anything was there and a vault existed, but is much smaller in size than my actual library.
I then went and picked up my offsite drive and brought it back to the office to back up. It did the same thing as above.
I'm confused. I tried to go through the steps to repair my library, but each time I command, option click on the library it just opens Aperture instead of the repair dialogue. Is there another way to repair the library and does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I too am experiencing vault issues, although not exactly the same as what you describe. My issues were posted to this discussion thread (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2631926&tstart=250) on Oct 30, and no one has provided their ideas or solutions in reply. The point I wish to make is that colleagues who regularly follow and post suggestions and answer questions seem to ignore issues with vaults. After I posted my question I searched all posts in this this thread where the word "vault" is used in the subject, and most if not all have zero responses and I can only conclude by the general absence of responses to vault issues that this feature of Aperture is not well known. In the last 90 days I encountered some 20 users with vault issues.
If there are people out there who know how to update, reconnect, migrate, etc vaults - particularly when going from AP2 --> AP3, there are a number of us users who sure would appreciate their insights.
Perhaps there are some Apple personnel on the Aperture Software Team who monitor this thread....if you are out there, then please chime in.

ExecuteBatch(): number of successfully updated rows

Hello everybody:
Here is a simple but often a repeated question in java forums:
Requirement:
1.To read a flat file that has many rows of data.
2.Parse the data and update the database accordingly.
3.Find the number of successfully updated rows.
Approach:
After reading the file and parsing its data,
- use PreparedStatement
- use executeBatch()
I found this as unadvisable to use executeBatch() as its implementation is
inherently driver specific. The executeBatch() returns an array of update counts.
Now,can any one tell me, what is the best way to trace the number of successfully
(and unsuccessfully) updated rows by using this count?
Is there any other way to achieve the same by not using executeBatch()?
Can any one share a snippet of code to achieve this specific functionality?
[Need is to log the number of unsuccessful attempts along with their
corresponding rows of data].
Thanks & regards,
Venkat Kosigi

executeBatch submits a batch of commands to the database for execution and if all commands execute successfully, returns an array of update counts. The int elements of the array that is returned are ordered to correspond to the commands in the batch, which are ordered according to the order in which they were added to the batch. The elements in the array returned by the method executeBatch may be one of the following:
-- A number greater than or equal to zero indicates that the command was processed successfully and is an update count giving the number of rows in the database that were affected by the command's execution
-- A value of -2 indicates that the command was processed successfully but that the number of rows affected is unknown
If one of the commands in a batch update fails to execute properly, this method throws a BatchUpdateException, and a JDBC driver may or may not continue to process the remaining commands in the batch. However, the driver's behavior must be consistent with a particular DBMS, either always continuing to process commands or never continuing to process commands.
If the driver continues processing after a failure, the array returned by the method BatchUpdateException.getUpdateCounts will contain as many elements as there are commands in the batch, and at least one of the elements will be the following:
-- A value of -3 indicates that the command failed to execute successfully and occurs only if a driver continues to process commands after a command fails.
return values have been modified in the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 to accommodate the option of continuing to proccess commands in a batch update after a BatchUpdateException obejct has been thrown.
Throws BatchUpdateException (a subclass of SQLException) if one of the commands sent to the database fails to execute properly or attempts to return a result set. The BatchUpdateException getUpdateCounts() method allows you to known the element who caused the fail identified by a -3 value.
-- So, if you have a succesfully result, look for at the executeBatch returned array ( #values >= 0 ) + ( #values == -2 ) = successes
and if you have not a succesfully result, catching the BatchUpdateException take the array returned by the getUpdateCounts() method, and look for the position in which array values are -3. You could take the data at this position on batch and log it.
-- Other way to insert a bulk copy on database is to use a bcp command ( it�s not java, bcp is an independent command ) that allows you to do bulk inserts from file, indicate an error file, bcp will give to you as result a file with those lines not where inserted.
I hope have help you.;)
