The case of the disappearing Movies?

OK, just got a new 22" IMac and Sync'd it up to the Apple TV. It started syncing and I went to sleep as I knew it would take hours.... Well when I checked it in the morning the Apple TV would not show up in the devices. So I updated everything on both the Apple TV and the IMac and it showed up just fine. However the real problem is about 6 movies have suddenly disappeared from the Apple TV and are NOT on the attempted sync'd computer. You should have heard the wails of despair from the 3 year old when he couldn't find Cars anywhere... Anyone??? How can I get my content back???

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
Check for the content in your itunes folders, unless you have physically removed it it may just not be linked to the itunes library, if it's there you can drag it back to the itunes window.

  • The Case of the Disappearing Documents

    The first time this happened to me, I figured I was just
    imagining things. Now that's it's happened to me a second time, I
    am certain that my imagination has nothing to do with it.
    I am working in Captivate 2 in an XP (SP2) environment. I've
    completed about a dozen projects successfully using Captivate 1 and
    am in the midst of creating my first project in version 2.
    I've created a Captivate 2 document with less than a dozen
    slides. I experience the disappearing menus problem quite
    frequently -- perhaps every half hour or so while using the program
    (I haven't tried the clicking on the library item trick yet, but
    will the next time it happens). Typically I click on the Save
    button and quit out of the program whenever it happens. One time
    when I did that, the CP file went missing from the folder it was
    saved in. Completely missing.
    The file icon itself was not in the Folder. The file name was
    no longer listed on the launch window of the program, nor was it
    listed in the File menu as a recently opened file. I know I am not
    crazy and figured the file had to be somewhere on my hard drive, so
    I started searching for files of a certain size which were updated
    in the last day. I actually located the file, which had been
    renamed renamed with a .tmp extension (and gobbledygook before the
    extension). I only recognized the file because of its size and when
    I hovered my mouse pointer over it, the document's name from the
    Properties dialog box showed up in a tool tip. I was able to open
    the file, rename it, and resume using it.
    I figured it was just a fluke...but now it's happened a
    second time, albeit slightly different circumstances. The program
    froze and BAM! the file completely disappeared. Again, I searched
    my hard drive and was able to locate the file.
    So now, I save a copy of my file about every half-hour in a
    separate folder...because I cannot afford to lose more than a
    half-hours' work. I am very worried about the stability of this
    product. Does anybody have any ideas regarding this issue?

    I don't know if version 3 will be any better, but I have my
    doubts. I am totally embarrassed about my failure to be able to
    complete this project on time for my client due to all of these
    issues. As a freelancer, the ability to make my clients' deadlines
    and provide a high-quality end product is crucial to my continued
    success. I am furious with Adobe for this product's instability.

    Several folks on our team have had the same issue. The files

    space... and using std naming convention for files (no special
    characters etc).
    Unfortunatly, missed deadlines and extra non-billing hours
    will result in staffing issues and different purchasing decisions
    in the next fiscal year. Some folks are saying ... why did Adobe
    drop the "R" when they released Captivate2.
    Is Captivate3 really going to be any better? If so... how
    about a free upgrade for all of use who suffered through
    Captivate2? It's really tough to justify the expense of Captivate3
    to our bosses when all they have seen are the problems with
    Captiavte2.

  • Comment of premiere elements in the full movie.

    Mmmm. A question, ok now i have the program but when i wanna create a new movie it says "this was created by adobe premiere elements trial version" or something like that just in the middle of the screen in the full movie. why is that so?  Can i delete it? :/
    Thanks.

    A just in case note....
    You cannot remove the Adobe watermark from an export of the tryout, be the export a file saved to the computer hard drive or a burn to disc.
    You can delete the Adobe watermark from a project file from the tryout by opening the tryout project file in the purchased product. There are two
    possibilities after that
    a. You go to Timeline Menu/Delete Rendered Files in tryout project opened in the purchased program and the Adobe watermark is gone
    or
    b. You do nothing but import the tryout project file (with Adobe watermark) into the purchased program and the Adobe watermark automatically disappears.
    Way "a" is the classical approach. Way "b" has been found to be the case for many as well as myself.
    Please review and consider and then let us know which one worked for you.
    Thank you.

    Set up in iPhone.   Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again?  Suggestions?

    You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • Populating the screen field when the cursor moves to that field

    hi every one,
    I want to populate the screen field(MODULE POOL) When the cursor moves to that field.
    So can any one help me out with this.
    EXAMPLE..
    I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' (Total Price). When the fields like 'S10_PIECES' (Number of Pieces) will be entered. I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE'  without pressing any button on the screen nor when enter is hit. When the field 'S10_PIECES''  will be entered with some value and the cursor moves to 'S10_TOT_PRICE' . The Total Price field should be populated. Please help me out with this.
    THANKS & REGARDS.
    Mahanta.
    POINTS WILL BE REWARDED.

    Sorry but look at this SAP documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/54/0608162d0711d295520000e8353423/frameset.htm">User Actions on Screens</a>
    Extract :
    <i>User Actions on Screens
    There are various ways in which users can interact with screens.
    Filling Input Fields
    Users can enter values in any input field on the screen, or change the value using the mouse, in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes. The contents are placed in the corresponding screen field. Filling an input field does not normally trigger the PAI event. Exceptions to this are Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with Function Codes and input fields with Drop Down Boxes.</i>
    So, i fear that you cannot "take hand" when user fill a numerical field to perform calculations and update the screen.

  • Whenever I try to open an app on my Mac it just bounces on my dock and then settles. At first it bounced the disappeared, and then I had to reinstall it, but now it just bounces. Any help?

    Whenever I try to open an app on my Mac it just bounces on my dock and then settles. At first it bounced the disappeared, and then I had to reinstall it, but now it just bounces. Any help?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart Your Computer
    > Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
    > Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
    In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

  • Why does only the first movement of a symphony play?

    I have all of Mahler's symphonies on Itunes. I try to play them on my Ipod and the first movement of each symphony plays and then it shuts off as if the album is done. Any ideas what I did in loading these CDs onto Itunes that could cause this?
    In case you're wondering:
    Each symphony is listed as an album, with each movement as a track of that album. The disk of symphony #1 says "disk 1 of 13". Part of a compliation: No. Include when shuffling: No.
    Thanks for any help.

    The Apple guy told me yesterday that you have to RECORD it first.
    Start from the first slide and go thru all of them.
    Then they will playback.

  • Value of the goods movement is negative in GR

    Dear all,
    While preparing GR for an imports sch agmnt we are receiving an error message "Value of the goods movement is negative".
    System is giving the diagnosis of the error message are "Sub-contracting by-product value is higher than GR value" & "Delivery cost is negative".
    But our case is an imports GR and we have prepared GR for same sch agmnt on last month also.
    Pl send us your valuable suggestions to resolve this issue. (What are all the other factors to cause this type of error)
    Regards,
    M.Sarathi

    Hi
    Check the following
    1) In Scheduling agreement additional data for that line in ME32l, check for field Pr.date.cat. It should not be 5. If it is 5 and the price validity falls below GR date then you get this errror.
    2)If you get that Pr.date.cat field in display mode, remove time dependent condition tick from document type config. then it will allow you to change.
    Hope your problem will be solved. If not please revert back
    Regards

  • I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

    I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • HT1657 How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads in itunes store?

    How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads across the top of the screen when I open the itunes store and am in the movies section?

    Thanks varjak paw.
    I was afraid this was the case.  To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism.  That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position.  Sad to watch.

  • QuickTime Player 10.1 no more includes the ability to save a movie file in the same format as the original movie after editing it? No, it doesn't!

    Since upgraded to Lion, I have to wait for QuickTime Player 10.1 to "CONVERT" every file that I edited in it.
    Yes, it might save some disk space for me.(Which is not always the case though.) But it also takes almost 10 times or more as it did when back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 there I could save any file in the same format as the original movie WITH NO NEED TO CONVERT IT.
    Now I have to wait like 10 minutes to delete just a few frames.(The time it takes depends upon the original size of that movie. The larger the longer.) And guess what? If you have two clips originally split up from a movie and sperately getting saved(converted actually) with a loooooooot of time, and you naively added one of them to the other's end and then saved the finished one. It converts AGAIN! Doing so back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 only takes you even a few seconds only!
    Seriously, are we eating Apple or dirt this time?

    My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
    The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
    Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
    Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
    It seems obvious from other forum posts this is a planned move so that everything is the "new mobile device" ready state/format. To use Marc Speth's post as material....
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749558#23749558
    this is probably about dumbing down desk top OS to that pf iPhones and iPads. This is not what I paid good money to own a Mac Book Pro for....
    Today I rolled all the back to Snow Leopard. Really good move...... All those new features hey? I lost the ability to work in spaces and of course the whole Quicktime debacle.
    The rolling back process was easy, restored from a point prior to installing Lion and Mavericks and the only issue was my iPhoto libraries. Thank my stars that I still had back ups that I had not converted yet.... viva la Mavericks...NOT. Apple can keep it.
    Unsure if you are just venting or if there is supposed to be a question here. Basically, I assumed this to be Apple's idea of an improvement. That is, I really believe the ProRes 422 codec is a better intermediate codec than the AIC codec but most of my old HDV camcorder family tapes were imported by iMovie (for compatibility with my wife's non-FCP computer configuration) and, like your content, is/remains stored as AIC/PCM MOV files. At first I thought this might be a generalized change affecting all QT X based apps but when I went to check the latest iMovie v10.0 update, became confused when I noted that AIC source files were not automatically updated to ProRes 422 and continue to play natively in the iMovie source media viewer.
    I guess this is supposed to be a logical evoluption and we were supposed to have seen the "handwriting on the wall" dating back to when Apple's first released the free ProRess "player" ProRes 422 codec. Still, it would have been nice if Apple had given some warning during the last few years so users could plan and prepare for such a drastic change. For the moment, I am just thankful that AIC remains, at least temporarily, supported nativelyby the iMovie video editor under Mavericks. Thank goodness for small favors.

  • Is there any meaning to the iMovie .mov file names?

    I went into iMovie Events folder and looked at the a specific event folder.
    A sample of the imported video file names are as follows -
    clip-2007-12-01 14;51;04.mov
    clip-2007-12-01 15;32;09.mov
    clip-2007-12-01 17;00;33.mov
    clip-2007-12-01 17;19;44.mov
    How does iMac name the video files? Is there some kind of logic to the naming of the videos that I am not aware of?
    The first file (clip-2007-12-01 14;51;04.mov) is a 2s video and the second (clip-2007-12-01 15;32;09.mov)is a 13s video.

    How does iMac name the video files? Is there some kind of logic to the naming of the videos that I am not aware of?
    To add a bit to what Winston has already said... Files imported via the "Import from Camera..." option are typically files captured from a camcorder or a device which iMovie '08 considers to be a camcorder. Thus the prefix "Clip-". Theoretically, the "2007-12-01 14;51;04" represents the date time group when the files was imported or the "time stamp" from the recording device which may or may bear any resemblance to a factual time. And as was previously pointed out, the ".mov" is a standard extension signifying the file container type. Therefore "clip-2007-12-01 14;51;04.mov" is a file clip imported or created on the 1st of December in 2007 at 2:51:04 PM and placed in an MOV (generic) file container.
    With regard to the file container itself, this is determined by the method of import. Files imported at the "Finder" level are imported with their original "Finder" name and in the same file container as the original file. Camcorder files, on the other hand fall into two separate classes -- those requiring some sort of conversion and those that don't. An standard definition DV file is imported in its original DV container since it does not require any conversion. Files encapsulated in MPEG (like HDV, AVCHD, or MPEG-2), however, need to transformed to make them "edit" compatible with iMovie '08. At the very least, the audio is demuxed to "elementary" AIFF file(s) resampled to 48.0 KHz with 16-bit sampling and is now in a "temporal" compression format. In the case of HDV and AVCHD, the video is extracted/converted and can then be merged/synchronized with the audio and saved. This merging and saving of diverse content is what produces the MOV file container in the same manner as using the "Save As..." file command in QT Pro. HDD SD content however must undergo additional processing. Since the 'muxed" MPEG2/AC3 content does not share a common time reference, a "time" track is added to the container for audio time reference and to reduce/minimize drifting between audio and video tracks, the modified MPEG-2 video (now essentially having been turned into an Motion-JPEG video) is provided with an internal track start and/or end time offset and the whole saved in the generic MOV file container.

  • Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    I'm getting the same thing.  This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing.  This is ridiculous.
    My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu.  It works okay when editing photos.  The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus.  My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue.  I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum.  It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue.  I hope this isn't the case with this issue.
