Text has jagegd edges

I've recently upgraded from FCP-3 to the most recent FCP-Suite. While building a project similar to work I had done in the older version of FCP I'm finding that many of my graphics have jagged edges when exporting the project to a movie. This is most noticable with text. I have this same issue with movies that were created in LiveType. When I check the LiveType source movie it looks great, smooth edges on all of the text, but once it is brought into FCP and rendered it looks horrible. The only difference I can find is that LiveType is rendering in 720x486 and FCP is going to 720x480. I tried adjusting the size in FCP to match the native resolution from LiveType, but to no avail.
It's most troublesome because I have not changed anything in my workflow except for FCP and I used to get fantastic results with all of my graphics.

I don't buy this television monitor stuff. I've created projects in FCP that look fine on my display and translate to DVD just as well. This current project looks terrible when transfered to DVD, and in any case I'm looking to present on 20x15 screens with 10k projectors, so yes, I need the best res possible. How come I can get the results I need directly out of LiveType but not from FCP?

Text has ragged edges

I'm new to Illustrator and just learning.
I 've always heard that if you create a logo in Ai you will see nice clean lines, no jagged or blurry edges.
I've just created a plain text logo, with a line drawing for the web.
I saved it to web and devices as a png.
How come when I zoom in on the logo, or if I enlarge it, the text gets all jagged?
The drawn line is nice and clean, but the text is not.
Why is this?
thank you!!!!

tere,
In order to get the nicest look, you should tick Anti-Alias when you save as PNG (in the Save for Web & Devices, I believe it is still hidden away in the Image Size Window; for non rectangular images, you should also use tick Transparency).
This will create colour transition pixels which will blend in and soften especially what would otherwise be stepwise slanting transitions.
PNG is superior to GIF in this respect; there is an issue with IE (Internet Explorer) older than 7.
There is a javascript fix for IE 6 and 5.5 called pngfix.js, which you may use as follows (to reach users with even older IE versions, GIF is the only option):
In the Head section, you may include this:

And then in the same folder as the site include the pngfix.js file attached here:

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

That should work out, maybe edit it to force updating in the new image.

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

Need to know when text has finished loading

The following code loades text into a textfield the problem I'm having is the routine at the bottom runs before the text loads and the scrollbar disappears even when there's enough text to overflow the textfield. How would I make sure the text has finished loading before running the code that enables/disables the scrollbar?
mainText.htmlText = main[1];
textFieldLength = mainText.text.length;
    if(mainText.length > textFieldLength){
        mainScroll._visible = true;
    }else{
        mainScroll._visible = false;

I messed up the example. All I really need to know is how can I determin when a dynamically textfield overflows.

HT1694 The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?

The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?

Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if the email text shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app '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 Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it they try 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.

Stroke won't curve and has straight edges

Any idea why this happens? I applied a 1pt stroke as you see in the screenshot and I gave it a default width profile. For some odd reason no matter what I do that stroke has sharp edges and isn't curved smoothly.

So when will they have a fix for this?
send a bug report, but nobody in this forum can tell you when it will be fixed.

Text has Black Blocky Edges

I just upgraded to Leopard with an erase and install. After re-installing Final Cut Express and LiveType & Soundtrack, all of my Livetype files import to Final Cut with a black, blocky edge around all the letters. I tried starting a new project with new files, but the same thing happens. What can I do?

Apple says Intel Macs don't support FCE 3.0 and that I need 3.5 to run on Leopard. I had gotten past that for about a year adjusting the AGP graphics error, but it looks like I'm stuck with the upgrade now. That is, unless someone knows how to get around the issue.....

IMovie text has unexplained wide right margins

Hi and thanks for taking a look
I am making a movie that is subtitled. For awhile I had no problem copy/pasting the subtitles into iMovie's text field, but recently when I copy/paste from MS Word: Mac 2008 12.0.0 I encounter wide right margins that won't go away. It looks extremely unprofessional to have my text clumped to one side.
I have already tried: changing the markup and the final/original markup options; reducing the document's right margin; copy/pasting the entire document into Text Edit and then extracting text from there. Nothing has worked.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated - the project is due tomorrow!

give this a try:
• in MSWord, save your document not as an 'MS Word'.doc, but as an RTF (under Options) - in MSW this will perhaps doesn't change the appearance of your document ..
• copy/paste from THAT document..
MSW sometimes add some 'unknow' bits&bytes, which makes other apps stumble...
and Welcome, Bijaz, to the  iMovie boards

OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PLUS HAS POOR QUALITY, BLACK TEXT HAS HORIZONTAL LINES & FADING

I have a Officejet Pro 8600 Plus which is a few months old. It gets light use although I'm a graphic designer working from home.
The problem just started with a very poor print quality. The black text fades in and out, has horizontal lines through it. The color text also has horizontal print qualities.
I replaced all of the color ink cartridges, the black is mostly full.
I have repeatedly run the Align Printhead and Clean Printhead functions on the printer with no improvement.
What can I do at this point? I need the printer function very soon.
I'm on a Mac OS 10.7.5

Hello Brembo50,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Regarding the Officejet pro 8600 not printing a clean crisp black text, the steps you have done are very good attempts to resolve.
When you printed the cleaning, did the characters print clean and crisp? It should look like this:
Please excuse the blurry image and colors should be on the bottom of the page, how ever the above should give you an idea of what it should look like.
Performing the steps in this HP document: Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems should help. It will have you doing steps you have done already, I recommend doing the steps but you could skip the steps you have done already.
Let me know how things look now,

When I open a pages document in pages the text has disappeared.

I have to reboot my iMac to solve this. Is there a software issue?

Hi Peter
The problem is with saved documents. When I try to open them Pages behaves as expected and the document opens, but the document is blank. The document title is there as are details of the font used, sizes, etc. and at the bottom there is a word cound figure, just no words showing. I have checked the options and settings in inspector and again the number of words, lines, paragraphs, etc. is populated.
I cannot enter text or textboxs either.
I have tried checking to see if I have leaned on the space bar and created blank pages and to see if somehow the type has turned white on a white background but these are not the problem.
It is always solved by re starting the computer, everyting behaves exactly as it should, but this is obviously not what is supposed to happen.
Thanks for your interest.
Mick
