Switched from PC to IMac - spent two days on iTunes going bunkers

Hello, I bought an iMac and downloaded iTunes from my iPad, so I thought. I can see it, and browse through my songs however, when I want to play one - the top where you would see what song is playing now is going real fast over all my songs ( looks like its downloading ). I've spent last two days trying to figure this out - switched from PC to IMac and I'm starting to get very frustrated. Today went into iTunes store to purchase a song ( have credit on my account ); when submitting the buy button it indicates an unknown error -45054. I set up the home sharing to see if this would work; tried ICloud; at my wits end. Hope someone can help - I Youtube for hours to find something to help with t his. thank you much Mimi

Unable to switch from one level tabs to two level tabs.

I created my application using one level tabs. When I created parent tabs they didn't show up. I have changed the Page property to Two Level Tabs in the Default Templates by Component section of the Define Theme page. But the 2 level tabs just not show. After some trials even the 1 level tabs dissapeared. I can't see any tab now.
Is there any method to switch safely from one level tabs to two level tabs and have them show properly?

I developed my own solution after several days of
working on the issue, and it is kind of complex. I
have a 12 page word document with images explaining
the process, so I cannot post it here. I responded to a thread on this forum several weeks back about this topic. I guarantee that the posts in total in that thread could never fill a 12 page document. It's not that complicated.
You can find it here:
Re: Can someone explain the diference between the tabs and the tab sets?
The main problem when switching from one-level tabs to two-level tabs is the "psuedo-parent-tab" that gets created as a container reference for the standard tabs. Once you get past that - and change the default template for your application you're well on your way.

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

Since two days ago iTunes 10.2.2.12 will not open

Since two days ago iTunes will not open (windows 7). No error message appears and after I try to open it my internet refuses to load anything forcing me to restart my computer. Anyone had this issue and know how to solve it?

Have you ever installed any kind of Codec pack? I did. And I noticed that one of the codec packs caused some problems with QuickTime.
If you did have installed free video Codecs. Try deinstall it and then reinstall iTune and QTime.
Good luck!

Switching from FCP7 to CS6! Two BIG questions I can't figure out...

Hello!
So I'm running CS6.01 on my new 27" iMac running OS 10.6.8. I'm excited to be transitioning over to CS6 after the last 6 or 7 years using Final Cut Pro. But I don't have time to mess around as I'm in the middle of projects so here are my 2 main questions right off the bat:
First I should say that I edit AVCHD footage shot from Panasonic HMC150's. I shoot Weddings. About 35-40/year. In FCP, my workflow was...shoot EVERYTHING at 720p60 and TRANSCODE it in FCP to ProRes Proxy. Then I'd CONFORM it to 23.98 (using Cinema Tools which takes all of about 30 seconds to do 400 clips) so that it was all in slow-mo looking smooth and beautiful. Then, I'd drop it all on the timeline and edit. Most clips I need in slow-mo but the ones I don't (eg. the Ceremony) I just speed up 250% and it's full speed. Then at the end of editing I'd batch capture and re-transcode to ProRes 422 and I'm done. It all looks great.
Here's the important thing:
I edit on a 23.98fps timeline that way it maintains a bit of the film-stuttery look instead of the video/soap-opera look of 60fps footage and also it naturally has everything at 40% smooth slow-mo. I dont want that video/soap opera look that I would get if I edited my 60p footage on a 60p timeline! This is important to me.
1) I know with CS6 I don't "have" to transcode, but I can just ingest and edit the AVCHD files natively, right? Well, okay, but if I do that will dropping those 60p clips on a 23.98fps timeline give me the same look I got when I use to conform the footage first? Specifically is it just as smooth to just change the speed of a 60p clip by 40% and drop it on a 24p timeline? And what about the stuff I want at full speed...if I drop that 60p footage right on the timeline and don't speed it up it will be full speed but will it look the same as my conformed footage looked when sped up in FCP? Please elaborate for me.
2) Audio. When I bring in audio clips from my 2 cameras each track has 2 separate audio feeds (eg. 2 wireless mics, a shotgun mic, an internal mic). CS6 brings them in on one track. I read up where I need to "Modify the clips" and adjust the Audio Channels so that there are 2 tracks. Then I'm guessing I just make one track the left track and one the right? This seems to work and makes a separate track that is balanced to the center and has each of the 4 channels as its own separate adjustable track. Am I doing that right? And more importantly...my real question...if I'm scrubbing thru the timeline and I double click on one of the audio tracks to bring up the waveform and edit, sometimes it doesn't come up where I stopped in the timeline. Unless the clips are linked. But don't I have to unlink them to edit them individually? So how do I do this where I can be in the timeline, watching the video and when I hear something I want to adjust, I stop the video and quickly access the individual track (eg. one of the wireless mics) to make the adjustments?
Hope my questions make sense. Thanks SO much in advance for all your help! It took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to post a question but now that I've done it I'm very excited that I've got it out there and hopefully I'll get past my current workflow roadblocks. Thank you!!!!!!!

I'd recommend a different work flow. Shoot what you want at full speed in 720p/24. Shoot what you want in slow motion at 720p/60...
I would respectfully disagree with Jim's statement and endorse the OP's technique of shooting at 60 fps for purposes of playback at both normal speed and slow motion at 24 fps.
I think the more creative choices you give yourself in post the better.
Since you (DMH79) are using the same footage for both normal speed and slow motion playback, I think your way is definitely the way to go as long as you are happy with the resolution.
Even if you were not using the same clips at different speeds, I would still disagree with the opinion that you should be able to predict in advance which shots from a hectic live action event such as a wedding you will want to use in slow motion. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it would be impossible, no matter how easy it is to switch modes.
Given that slow motion is a reasonable priority for you, I think there is much less to be gained by shooting at 24 fps for clips that you might use at normal speed than by giving yourself the option of both normal speed and slow motion with a 60 fps recording. (To me the bigger tradeoff is not being able to shoot 1080p at 60 fps, which I think applies to your HMC150.)
I love the look of 24p and will shoot that way for scripted work or if I am absolutely certain that I won't want to use a single shot in slow motion, but for many live events, my preference is to shoot at 720p60, shutter angle 180, for eventual output at 30 fps. I edit in a 60 fps timeline in Premiere, but I export at 30 fps. I find that exporting at 30 fps in combination with the 1/120 shutter speed removes much of the soap opera look (a great description, by the way), but there is no jerkiness in normal speed clips because 30 is exactly half of 60. Media Encoder simply removes every other frame during export. Yet, this allows me to drop any clip to 50% speed and achieve perfectly matched, silky smooth slow motion.
You probably prefer the 40% speed slow motion and added stutter of 24 fps, but regardless, if you do find that controlling the speed via Speed/Duration is equal in quality to conforming, you may want to consider cutting in a 60 fps timeline and giving yourself the option to export at either 24 or 30 fps.
Your last post on this topic was from a few months ago. I also switched from FCP7 and would be very curious to know what you have discovered!

Switched from PC to iMac

I've just switched from a PC to an iMac. I am currently running PS3 for Windows. Can I download an Apple version of PS3?

Unfortunately, the serial numbers are platform specific and CS3 isn't being sold anymore. Only CS6 and the new CC subscription model. You can buy CS6 for $699 and CS6 Extended for $999. The CC subscription model is $9.99/MO and includes Lightroom. You can also use it on Mac or Win.

Benjamin, you are assuming the OP lives in the USA. Price gouging means that some countries have to pay up to 50% more for Adobe products. I paid NZ$1,800 for my first full version of Photoshop Extended!

Switching from Powerbook to iMac.

I have two ATVs synced to a Powerbook running Tiger. The iTunes files are held on an external 500GB drive. I propose replacing the Powerbook with an iMac running Leopard housing the iTunes files on the internal drive, using the external drive for Time Machine backup. My concern is that I could lose all the files on the ATVs during the switch. What are the potential pitfalls, and how do I avoid them?

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that when you set up to sync to the new iTunes instance on a new Mac, then AppleTV would just assume different Mac, different library, start to sync afresh.
It probably depends what holds known AppleTV device parameters - if it's in the iTunes library and you transfer that befor connecting to AppleTV it might work, but say the known AppleTVs are held outside the music library, then I'd imagine you'd have to set up the AppleTV to sync with a new iTunes instance and that would mess things up.
As you have the original files the worst case would be AppleTV resyncing the lot wouldn't it?
As far as finding the 'same files', it's hard to know if it's iTunes or AppleTv that maintains a list of what's synced and what that list holds. If it were an absolute address list then the files would no longer be where expected, but if relative to the iTunes library they'd be the same.

Resources for Imac ---Just made the Switch from PC to Imac--

Hello everyone,
I just recently made the switch from windows to the intel based Imac apple... loving it..but things are a little overwhelming while trying to get adjusted to the differences.
So on that note.... Does anyone know of a good "cleaning program" for temp and junk files...
Preferably a free one and also can anyone suggest good and reliable apple/mac support web sites (aside from Apple.com) for downloads and tips/tricks
Thanks so much

Gi - and congrats on making the switch. Just to get you started

Switched from G4 to iMac and HP 1350 Scans Double Image Now

I just switched from a G4 to an iMac 20: 2.66 GHz and my HP 1350 scans a double image of every page it scans. I did not use Migration Assistant but simply reinstalled the HP 1350 software on my iMac from the original disc. Does anyone know how to get it to scan normally? Thanks!

I used the HP uninstaller to uninstall all my HP products (meaning I had to reinstall my print driver for my HP 840c Deskjet too, but it works again). I missed the part about the SMC reset. What is that?
After I reinstalled the software I couldn't get the scanner to scan at all using its scanner button anymore. If I try to use the HP Photosmart Studio to start a scan, it scans only a small swath of the page in the scanner. I can use the HP Device Manager to call up HP Scan Pro to scan, but each time I do it I have to expand the default scan area from about a fifth of the entire page to the whole page. Obviously something's still wrong.
What is an SMC reset, and beyond that do you have any other ideas? Thanks!

Two days-No iTunes

For two days now we haven't been able to connect to our iTunes accounts—from anything—computer, iPad, iPhone or Apple TV. We've reset the router, reset the Apple TV settings, restarted devices, everything. We can access everything else just fine on the internet so our router and connection are good. Anybody have any suggestions?

Found the problem. Maybe it will help someone else too. It's our router from Comcast. Not sure why. We'll have to pursue that with them but for now we can get back on when we reset it. And it looks like we'll have to do it frequently. Sigh...what a pain.

TS1424 For the past two days the ITunes store says it is unable to process payments and to try again later - not like Apple to miss on sale opps. Is it my side with the problem?

For the past two days, i keep getting an error message on the i Tunes store that it can't process my payment and to come back later. Not Apple's MO to miss a sales opportunity. Anyone esle getting this message?

This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

Switching from Macpro to iMac

I'm thinking of getting rid of my almost 5-yr old Macpro and getting an iMac. I have lots of internal drives that I swap in-and-out of the Macpro and I'm thinking that as soon as external Thunderbolt enclosures become available I can just use one to access all of my drives.
Just curious to hear if anyone thinks working with an iMac with FCP is not a good idea for any reason?
Thanks.

If thunderbolt pans out, the need for internal slots may go away. But it isn't there yet.
With a MacPro you can upgrade video cards, have more monitors, have monitors independent of CPU and add more RAM.
I'm a fan of the tower. I just upgraded the video card in my 4 year old 2008 MacPro 8 core 2.8 to an nVidia Quadro 4000. In addition over the years I've been able to add a second firewire bus, a 4 port esata card (to support external RAID), a Kona card for external monitoring (and a 3rd desktop monitor when not used for video) as well as add RAM from an initial 2 GB to 16 GB now.
I couldn't do this with an iMac.
Beyond what happens with the iMac, if you move to any new computer, you'll be forced into Lion (10.7). You should carefully evaluate software compatibility with the new OS. There can be significant hidden software upgrade costs involved with the switch.
Have fun.

edit - if swapping drives is an issue, why not get something like a MacGuru's Burley enclosure? If nothing else, when you move to a new computer, you simply plug in the drive enclosure and you are good to go.

I made a switcher from my old iMac!

OK, so my father-in-law is going to be buying my iMac so I can buy the new iMac! My first convert!
So, heres my question thats kind of related. Even though I am a Mac user, I am usually the "Sys IT" in my family of Windows users. I want them to switch, when they are ready, but also wants them to have well-running PC for now.
What are the top freeware for PCs to keep them tip-top? ClamAV? Any others?

Dell Inspiron 1501 and a Pav. a1710n HP PC (both running Vista). It took me an entire night to take all the crippleware off and make them functional. Now I'm looking for good OpenSource solutions for stuff like AV and such.

Switched from Dell to iMac 24" now my pictures stink

this is kinda hard to explain - but I'll try.....
i used to have a Dell PC / Dell CRT and when I posted images ( post processed with CS2 ) i took with my digital camera they looked great on online forums.....
Now when i Post process my images on my 24" iMac - they look great on my monitor but drab / dull / dark on the online forums.
I'm trying to use a Huey with the iMac ( a friend told me to do so ) but im not sure if im attacking this problem the right way.
Please Help - please use layman's terms though......
24" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hmm, my client uses a Mac Pro and CS3 we have seen no problems with her pictures and moves a ton of them. She's a pro.
