The Drax Files: World Makers - Episode 30 : Maylee Oh

Her eye-catching machinima commercials, are just one of the ways in which Paris-based creator Maylee Oh uses Second Life to support her Second Life brand -  The Secret Store.
While it may sound cliche that a fashion designer would hail from one of the world's most known fashion hubs, Maylee Oh isn’t influenced so much by Fashion Week as she is by her own day to day experiences and the personal expressions of the people and the city around her. “It’s all about creativity, no matter where we are!” she states. And that is true both inside and outside of Second Life.
For more on her creative process and to hear her philosophy on sharing knowledge and collaborating with other creative people, tune in to the video below.

I had to laugh when reading your post. I wasn’t laughing at you, and clearly not laughing with you. However, I do empathize and after my first experience of cashing in on my “Pro” Care investment, question whether the move to Mac was a wise one.
I have decided to continue with Apple products in hope that they are simply going through growing pains; and will recognize they are failing in certain customer service areas and will endeavor to improve. However, my patience is growing thin.
Thanks for the post, it was well done.

    Why in the world is it that everytime I attempt to report a problem with The TV Show "The Walking Dead Season 2 episode 1" Itunes redirects me to their main page..**

    I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
    did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
    What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
    It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
    If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
    Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • HT201272 the original file can't be found (TV episode)

    I am getting this error message on my PC when attempting to watch a Downton Abbey episode I bought with the season's pass:
    The TV show "Episode 4 (Original UK Version)" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
    I've spent two or three hours on this problem. I googled it. I searched the Apple support pages. I followed several different suggestions. I found where all the other files for this TV series live. Episode 4 is listed there, but when I attempt to open it, I get the error message, and the file is marked with an exclamation point. I checked my trash bin. It wasn't there. I tried to download it again, but the Apple store tells me it IS downloaded. I can watch all the other episodes. This latest one, Episode 4, just won't let me in.
    I posted this problem a couple of days ago, and can't figure out how to get back to that discussion and see if anyone can help me.
    I am not impressed. I want my money back. I will never buy an iTunes product again if I don't get this episode to work. There are other ways to download media. You are not the only game in town. Downton Abbey is a continuing story. Missing an episode is the same as if you took one of my books, yanked 50 pages out of the middle of it, and told me, "here, read this." Seriously annoying.

    Have you deleted the music tracks from your computer or moved where they are stored on it ? Do you have a copy of your library on a backup ?
    If you are in a country where you can re-download music, and if they are still in the store, then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If they appear in there but without the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading then try deleting one of them from your library first (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message) and it should then get the cloud symbol next to it for re-downloading (iTunes will see that entry in your library and assume that you still have it somewhere and that it therefore doesn't need re-downloading), and if that works do the same for the others.

  • How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

    how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
    I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
    My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
    That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
    Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
    Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
    Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
    Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
    I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
    So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
    But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
    Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • Selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type

    I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for a couple of years now, and a few months ago I began having problems importing AVI files created from a BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card.  (These issues were not previously occurring, and since they surfaced, I have exhausted the various settings for the BlackMagic card, used various software such as BlackMagic's own Media Express as well as the freeware VirtualDub, and still have the following problems.)
    In addition, these AVI files play just fine, in their entirety, using Windows Media Player and in Quicktime.
    The problem (or possibly two, but I suspect they could be related) is that most of the AVI files I attempt to import will either (1) import all video and NO audio, or (2) import ONLY a short segment of audio and video, and the length that Elements imports varies.  Usually only in the range of a minute or two.  The rest of the file is not imported at all.
    After much digging in forums, and testing various settings in trying to figure out the issue, I decided to back up all of my files and completely wipe all hard drives and start over with a fresh installation of Windows and Premiere Elements 9.  I haven't installed much else yet, as I wanted to first find out if the reinstallation improved things with Elements.
    For the first project I created in Elements after the reinstallation, Elements successfully imported an entire AVI that was nearly 2 hours long, audio and video.  This was a file that previously would not import properly into Elements.  This suggested that my earlier installation of Elements must have been corrupted somehow.  At this point I was very hopeful that all was well.
    I proceeded to edit the video as I had wanted, saved the project, and exported it to an MPEG format file.  I had originally wanted to export it as an MOV, but I hadn't yet installed Quicktime, so Elements couldn't do that just yet.  The MPEG export was successful and plays fine.
    However, I then installed Quicktime, and once it was finished, I restarted the PC and reloaded the same project.  This time, Elements claimed the media was offline.  I double-clicked on a segment of the video, and directed Elements to the raw file, but then an error message popped up:  "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)."  This was the same file I had JUST edited and of which I created an MPEG.
    I tried creating a new project and the "Get Media" function to import the AVI again, but this time only the video imported with NO audio.  (This would explain why the error message said what it did, but not why the audio wasn't imported.)
    What in the world is going on with Elements???  I am baffled since the ONLY task I have done on this machine after a complete reinstallation of both Windows and Elements is edit one AVI.  I find it very hard to believe that just installing Quicktime caused this.
    Some info on my system:
    System:  Asus P6T w/ Intel i7 920 and 12 GB memory
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Video Software:  Premiere Elements 9
    Capture Card:  BlackMagic Intensity Pro (PCI-e)
    Capture Software:  AVIs recorded with either BlackMagic Media Express or VirtualDub (only prior to the reinstallation, as neither of these programs are currently installed)
    I'm getting to the point with Elements that I might need to just abandon it and find something else that is more reliable.  Anybody have suggestions to help with this, so I won't have to migrate?

    mtnsports
    We think that we need to start off with definiting the properties of these .avi files that you are importing into Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 (assumed that you are working for the required 9.0.1 Update).
    You say that the "avi" was created from a "BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card". What are the properties of this .avi that you imported into Premiere Elements? Not all .avi are created equal. What is the video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, typical duration?
    Based on the properties of the video what have you been setting as the project preset?
    Let us start here.
    More later.

  • The TV show could not be used because the original file could not be found

    "The TV show “Blah-blah ep.23” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    I know this problem is listed (and unanswered) from quite a few users in the forums for song files, but I haven’t found any that mention TV shows. To add to the heap, and help emphasize to iTunes that this is a major bug in need of fixing, here is my version of this problem.
    I have a variety of season passes to TV shows that normally download on almost a daily basis (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, for example). About once every four or five downloads iTunes decides to silently delete a file. No warning given, no chance to stop it, just gone. ITunes downloads the file (clearly seen in the process in the Downloads part of the Store menu) and then lists the file under its correct menu in the TV Shows Library section (with the correct amount of MB listed for the file). I usually watch the episode right after I download it (with no problems), but of course I have left episodes unwatched when I shut iTunes down.
    On the next startup of iTunes, I go in to watch an old episode again or click on an unwatched episode, but it isn’t there anymore and the old “would you like to locate it?” message pops up. After being through this at least a dozen times in the last year, I know there is no point in looking for the file because it’s gone. The only choice is to go into iTunes support and ask them to reset the download, which they’ve always done without question, and then I have to download the file all over again. This is a huge hassle and all the more frustrating because it happens so irregularly.
    I’ve tried to find answers in these discussion forums, but have been unable to see any reasonable solution and wish to add to the voices of annoyed paying customers in the hope something will be done. If anyone is interested, the bizarre and time consuming workaround I’ve had to employ is:
    1. As soon as any of my TV shows are downloaded, I stop whatever I’m doing to go grab the file out of iTunes’ folder and move it to a location where iTunes can’t get its grubby little silent deleting hands on it.
    2. On the next shutdown-startup cycle, I can then go back and move the file back into its correct location in the iTunes TV Shows subfolders and I’ll never have a problem again with THAT particular file being deleted.
    Of course, the problem with this solution is that it’s painfully annoying to have to do it every time. I get lazy, iTunes seems to get its evil deleting ways under control and downloads all seem to work again. That is, until they don’t and the issue mysteriously returns with files being picked off anew and I have to return to these forums in the hope of finally finding out why this is happening. After more than a year and two or three iTunes version updates, it’s the problem that just won’t die.
    Anyone?

    Yes, only TV shows. I've never had a random silent delete of a song file. I also considered that Windows might be blocking the file to save space, but with no limitations set in the control panel that isn't the problem either. In fact, I've only had this problem with season pass downloads. It's never happened with a single download of a video or TV episode.
    Tonight, when I downloaded my Daily Show episode, I really kept tabs on what the heck iTunes is up to during the process. As many know, iTunes creates a folder called Downloads during the download process. Inside that folder, a video file gets downloaded as “download.m4v” along with another Qtime info file. When the download is complete, iTunes is supposed to use the info file to identify and tag the download.m4v file and then move it over into its correct artist subfolder with the correct file name.
    The problem, I discovered tonight in watching this process, is that iTunes (for mysterious reasons) does not do the relabel/move step with some of the downloads and leaves the files in situ as download.m4v in the download file. Additionally, in the iTunes software you can click on the file (correctly labeled and appearing, as I said in the first post, under the correct TV show banner) and watch it one time. However, after shutting down and restarting (and this is where the evil happens) iTunes will delete all files in the Download subfolder as part of a cleanup process. I suppose because it assumes that those files were correctly relabeled and copied into the corresponding TV show folders. So, there is the reason for the loss of downloaded video files (in my case).
    There appears to be no way of knowing, from within iTunes, when the file has been correctly copied over to its corresponding folder and when it hasn’t and remains in the Bermuda Download Folder of Death. Again, I have to go into that folder each time (before shutting iTunes down) to make sure the move took place. If it didn’t, then I have to make a copy of the download file and place it outside that folder.
    Finally, since this only happens occasionally, I’m wondering if it doesn’t have something to do with the way the info file is being tagged and labeled prior to being made available to download. However, if that were the case then the problem would be happening to lots of users and I would have expected a lot more complaints in the forums.
    By the way, I’m not big on fidgeting with any of iTunes folders or settings. It hasn’t been the case where the downloads were fine, I made some goofy change to the folder structure and then it doesn’t work. I haven’t fiddled with the settings for months, but all of the sudden this issue starts to appear and can just as easily disappear in the following week’s downloads.
    Still seeking answers or advice.
    Cheers.

  • Moving the log file of a publisher database SQL Server 2008

    There are many threads on this here. Most of them not at all helpful and some of them wrong. Thus a fresh post.
    This post regards SQL Server 2008 (10.0.5841)
    The PUBLISHER database primary log file which is currently of 3 blocks and not extendable,
    must be moved as the LUN is going away.
    The database has several TB of data and a large number of push transactional replications as well as a couple of bi-directional replications.
    While the primary log file is active, it is almost never (if ever) used due to its small fixed size.
    We are in the 20,000 TPS range at peak (according to perfmon). This is a non-trivial installation.
    This means that
    backup/restore is not even a remotely viable option (it never is in the real world)
    downtime minimization is critical - measured in minutes or less.
    dismantling and recreating the replications is doable, but I have to say, I have zero trust in the script writer to generate accurate scripts. Many of these replications were originally set up in older versions of SQL Server and have come along for the
    ride as upgrades have occurred. I consider scripting everything and dismantling the whole lot pretty high risk. In any case, I do not want to have to reinitialize any replications as this takes, effectively, an eternity.
    Possible solution:
    The only option I can think of is to wind down everything, such that there are zero outstanding uncommitted transactions and detach the database, delete the offending log file and reattach using the CREATE DATABASE xyz ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG option.
    This should, if I have understood things correctly, cause SQL Server to recreate the default log file in the same directory as the .mdf file. I am not sure what will happen to the secondary log file which is not moving anywhere at this point.
    The hard bit is insuring that every transaction in the active log files have been replicated before shutdown. This is probably doable. I do not know how to manually flush any left over transactions to replication. I expect if I shut down all "real"
    activity and wait for a certain amount of time, eventually all the replications will show "No replicated transactions are available" and then I would be good to go.
    Hillary, if you happen to be there, comments appreciated.

    Hi Philip
    you should try this long back suggested way of stopping replication and restore db and rename or detach attach

    I do not wish to be rude, but which part of the OP didn't you understand?
    Specifically the bit about 20,000 transactions a second and database size of several TB. Do you have any concept whatsoever of what this means? I will answer for you, "no, you are clueless" as your answer clearly shows.
    Stop wasting bandwidth by proposing pointless and wrong solutions which indicate that you did not read the OP, or do you just do this to generate points?

  • Is the help file wrong, or is it me?

    Ok, so I am working through the help files, and am working on
    "Enhancing the Hello World application", and I keep getting an
    error message:
    "1119: Access of possibly undefined property keyCode through
    a reference with static type flash.events:Event."
    Which is apparently having trouble with the following line of
    code:
    if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
    The code is verbatim from the help file. I have checked
    through and seen that keyCode does exist. Any thoughts?

    Reify32207,
    > I keep getting an error message:
    >
    > "1119: Access of possibly undefined property keyCode
    through
    > a reference with static type flash.events:Event."
    What you need, in this case, is an instance of the
    KeyboardEvent class.
    The Event class, alone, doesn't have a keyCode property, but
    KeyboardEvent
    (which extends Event) does.
    > textIn.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,
    keyPressed);
    > function keyPressed(event:Event):void
    That second line is the culprit. Should be this:
    function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void

  • IWork 08 Pages "The media file can't be used because it's corrupt"

    I am creating a school Yearbook - lots of photos. Pages has been running really slowly and to add to my problems when I reopened my pages document, most of the pictures on the pages I worked on have been replaced by grey blocks with a question mark in it. I am not able to replace the grey blocks with the pictures that used to be in there as it gives me the error message "The media file can’t be used because it’s corrupt". However, the photos work perfectly well in other Pages documents and other programs such as preview, word and so on...
    I am finding the whole experience of working on Pages very demoralizing. Any help out there?

    Hi naglechocolate
    Welcome to the forum.
    Pages is far from a professional DTP program and when you get down to some real world tasks does show more than a few rough edges.
    I suspect you may have just pushed it too hard.
    As Yvan says it includes the whole image in the document, unlike most DTP programs which work with links. So I would concentrate on not making those images too large.
    With a school yearbook, the photos are usually one or 2 standard sizes and need to be printed at a finished resolution of 300dpi, so you can crop and size them before you import them to be most efficient.
    *Preview .app* will do this for you for free but there are also 3rd part utilities that can make a much a set workflow out of this often tedious process.

  • When using external editor, iPhoto does not re-import the .psd file

    Hi,
    I've just started using Photoshop Elements 6 as a more advanced editor in iPhoto. When I do the 'External Edits' wihtout adding layers etc. and re-save as a JPEG then the photo will re-appear in iPhoto as the edited file.
    However if I do the external edit and add layers then save as a .PSD, then the file does not update.. I have to save the .PSD file in a desktop folder then import the file after.
    Is there anyway to force iPhoto to pick up the .PSD automatically after an update if I save it to the iPhoto library?
    Thanks,

    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

    If you import a psd file initially then you can edit it via the external editor, with or without layers, and do a normal save and iPhoto will recognize the changes.

  • Using Frame 9, Acrobat 9.5, suddenly cannot create pdf. The ps file is empty, and the process results in unresolved cross-refs. Have updated w/o success.

    I've beenusing the Tech Comm Suite with Frame 9 and Acrobat 9.5 for years, and suddenly cannot create a pdf of a frame doc. The ps file is empty. This is happening to a colleague using the same suite across the country. Any suggestions? Please help!

    OK, that's pretty plain vanilla. Assuming you've already checked the Adobe
    Updates web page to ensure that both applications are fully patched....
    The thing that jumps out from your procedure is that you don't seem to have
    the Acrobat printer set as the system default because you're selecting it.
    So I'd make that change. And you may want to then reboot, to make sure it
    sticks.
    The second thing I'd do is eliminate your Step 1, because if you don't
    select Print To File and do that dance, if the Acrobat Printer is selected
    (as it should be if it's the system default), Acrobat will create the PS
    file and distill it automatically, then delete the temp files -- that's
    what it's designed to do. (This would also make Step 2 and 3 unnecessary,
    because Acrobat is your system default printer now.)
    Probably no harm in forcing it into manual mode as you're doing, except the
    extra time and keystrokes, but I'd try the other path just to see what
    happens.
    Are you getting any error messages in the Frame Console window?
