Time consuming letterboxing

Hello All,
Does anyone have a few hints on avoiding the time consuming letteboxing every time a series of 16:9 clips are imported into iMovie HD 6. Can projects be set to 16:9 as the default aspect ratio so that conversion is unnecessary and time could be saved. It appears that 4:3 is the default aspect ratio for all new projects. I'm using my old G4 eMac - does iMovie read the aspect ratio of the monitor and set itself accordingly for new projects?
Regards to all,
PA

When you start a new project you get the choice of setting the aspect: DV (4:3) or DV Widescreen (16:9).
In Preferences you should UNcheck 'automatic pillarboxing'.

I have a solution (albiet time consuming) to iTunes match step 3 crashing

So I've been a iTunes Match subscriber for about 6 months. At first it took me a few goes of it to get it down to about only 350 songs needing to be uploaded in Step 3.... Then the REAL frustration began.... From that point forward no matter what I tried I could NEVER get past Step 3. As soon as Step 2 finished and step 3 began, iTunes would crash. So for the past 5 months I have been unable to get those 350 songs uploaded. It wouldn't even do just one then crash. I was frustrated but after looking I could do without having access too those 350 songs at all times. But then there WAS a song that I HAD to have access too and the frustration began again. I tried EVERYTHING I could find on the internet. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, turning Match off then on, deleting errored files (I only had 4). Playing with router settings, everything. I noticed a lot of people wondering about having music on external hard drives even which mine is. (I will say from experience if your using a USB hub to connect your external hard drives, try connecting them directly into your computers USB port to speed things up a bit). Then I started reading about people having success converting one troublesome song or two to ACC, deleting the old version, then "manually" right clicking on them and clicking "add to iCloud" My issue was that this option was NEVER available to me when I right clicked the songs in iTunes! Plus some of the 350 songs were already in ACC format. Tonight, after playing around I've found a round about way (and time consuming if your doing this for 350 songs like me, feel bad to those who have THOUSANDS) to finally get these songs to upload to iTunes Match. Here is what I did, and I REALLY hope this can help someone else.
#1. When you first open iTunes, you notice in the top/middle info window that iTunes attempts to connect to the iTunes store, AND iTunes match tries to do its thing as well. AS SOON AS YOU OPEN ITUNES, click the small little X next to the progress indicator inside that info window until ALL acivities have stopped.
#2. Make sure you have the "iCloud Status" sort turned on
#3. Sort your song list in iTunes by the iCloud Status Look down the list until you get to where all of your "waiting" songs are at
#4. Select a small managable group (10 worked best for me, more than that would sometimes cause errors and I would have to redo them)
#5. Right click on the selected group and then select "convert to ACC"
#6 DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING ELSE AFTER 'convert to ACC"
#7 Once this completes you will hear the normal "ding" that iTunes is finished
#8. The original files will still be selected with the new ACC versions below each one, not selected. Hit your delete key.(You only want to keep the newly converted ACC files) Also, EVEN IF A FILE WAS PREVIOUSLY ACC, STILL SELECT IT FOR THIS CONVERT TO ACC PROCESS!!!!! If itunes asks if you want to delete these and move to the recycle bin, do so, as you now have another copy that seems to play well with iTunes.
#9 Now you have the 10 recently converted to ACC songs... Select those ten, right click on them then the "Add to iCloud" option (which for me was the first time I had ever gotten to see it at all)
#10 iTunes Match should now begin the process of trying to match JUST THOSE SELECTED songs, then upload whatever is needed. Using this system, I HAVE YET to run across iTunes or iTunes match, hanging up, or crashing all together.
I know this is a bit time consuming, and you COULD do this just for the songs you REALLY wanted to make sure were in the Cloud if you wish. My thought was if I'm going to do it, I might as well do them all.
I REALLY hope this will help someone as I have read so many forum posts, websites, ect, with people just as frustrated as me. And it even made it more frustrating as I had seen new "solutions" posted online yet said solutions still wouldn't work for me. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment and I'll try to answer and help!

Since recent updates, I have noticed that my apps close automatically when I am distracted. In some cases it is time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task I was doing. Is it possible to change a setting so the apps will stay open?

Since recent updates of iOS, I have noticed when using my iPad that my apps close automatically when I have to leave the room or am otherwise distracted for a few minutes. It is sometimes time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task where i left off. Is there a setting I can change so it will keep the apps open until I am ready to close them? Thanks for your help.

Did you have this problem before Restoring you iPad?
If you did then did you restore with a backup. You may have reinstalled something that is conflicting in this back up
If not then sounds like either something went array with the clean install or a hardware issue.
I know it's long winded but have you tired a clean install then downloading the apps again?

How to find the Names of Most costly Views or Most Time consuming views

Hi All,
I had a database consisting of almost 200 views,as a part of Optimization process i want to find out the most costlier views.How to do that.Actually i want the names of the VIEWS,so that i can optimize that.Can any one help me out?
I had one more doubt in our Database a view is created like view A( which is created by joining several tables).so do i need to add index on this view separately or does it take the index of the tables which i joined? And in our Database i had created
a VIEW which is derived from other views(the Joining objects are views not tables),so while i select recoreds from this views which is derived from other views it is taking a lot of time.Is tehre any problem with that?

Please avoid such double post spread over several forums:

It there a way to disable the time consuming animation, when leafing through iCal for Lion?

When klicking forward or backward the month- and year-view, iCal 5 displays displays a leafing animation. This is not only childish, but also time consuming. And iCal accepts only one click at a time. Klick. Watch the sheet leaf. Klick. Watch the sheet leaf. Klick. Watch the sheet leaf. In iCal 4 it was just: Klick. Klick. Klick. Ready.

I fully agree with this, one of the examples Apple tries to comply too 'natural' with the OLD world. We have evaluated, we don't need these old leather calendars on our computer devices anymore. Anyway, does somebody know how to get rid of at least the nice but irritating animation?

Is there any way to delete multiple spams at once, right now I go through each individually and delete it, but it's time consuming, thanks

Is there any way to delete multiple spam messages at once. Right now I go through each individual spam and delete one at a time. This is very time consuming. Any tricks out there.
Thank you

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

My computer has just prompted me to download the newest version of Itunes and now there doesn't seem to be any option to "add folder" to library, just "add file to library" so have to do one song at a time and is very time consuming!! Help?!

My computer has prompted me to install the newest version of Itunes and now there doesn't appear to be any option to "add folder to library", only "add file to library" so have to do each song individually and very time consuming....help! Anyone know if I can get this feature back? Thanks so much, Charlotte

Use CTRL+B to put the top menu bar back on screen. Add File to Library and Add Folder to Library are both under File.

EMail on my iPhone 4s is no longer synching right with my Mac. Things I delete on my Mac are still on my iPhone. HELP! Deleting in both places is so time consuming. It has worked until recently...not sure what changed!

Your email provider may have changed certain settings to do with deleting from server when deleting from client so that it no longer works. Are you using pop or imap? If pop then recreate the account using imap.

How to avoid the long time consuming process of settlement on periodic basi

For investment Project(purpose of capitalisation) related expenses We would like to show it Directly in Balance Sheet rather than P/L A/C.Whether it is feasible or not?as per one of consultant it will be first hit the p/L and after settlement it will only be shown in B/Sheet.So how to avoid the long time consuming process of settlement on periodic basis.

Hi, could you write down an example? And what you mean by investment project-is this an WBS?

I am an artist who built my site on iWeb 08. Although I have easily been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. How do I convert to iWeb 09 and is this easy to do?

Help! I am an artist who had my site professionally designed on iWeb 08. Although I have been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. I was advised to update to IWeb 09 (which I could get, I think? from Amazon) because it has a built- in option to publish to any FTP. How do I convert my 08 folder to an 09 folder? Will it convert correctly? I know eventually I will need to rebuilt the site, but I would like to use this option for awhile to buy time. Is this feasible? I currently own a Mac Pro.

Its just a question of installing the later version of iWeb from the iLife disk and opening your website in that version. Its a good idea to have a backup of your Domain.sites2 file before doing this. See this page for its location...

Time consuming problem in Self update rule

Hi all:
We have time consuming problem in self update rule.I have ODS ZOMS001,for this we created self update rule.In process chain we include this self update rule and during delta update,it takes 20 to 25 mins even if there is two records or 10000 records.In delta for this self update rule,it takes the whole records in ODS
EX: If i have 10000 records during initialise and 10 records in Delta update...For the delta self update rule it takes 100010 records..But it only update delta records values.
we have to reduce the total time consuming for this self update during delta..
Waiting for your inputs.
It would be helpful for your valuable reply.

I think retransporting is the only option available to you. You cannot modify anything in your production system.
IF you have a chance to speak with basis people,ask them to open the system status to modifiable for few minutes.
and make necessary changes in production and bring it back to normal (This is not a best practise in all situations).
hope this helps.

Time consuming with big number of columns in RowSet

Hi,
In the SQL Query Editor, i select 3 columns to retrieve from MySQL Database and I set these 3 columns in JSC Table -> OK, GOOD performance
Now, i select 30 columns in rowset (from the same table database), BUT i show only the 3 same columns in JSC Table -> BAD Performance
Could you explain me why this phenomena ? When you run the SQL query, there is no this time consuming effect !
How can optimize it?
Thx

Hi,
How much does the performance suffer when you are selecting 30 columns in the rowset? Approximate times taken for executing the two different SQL statements would be more helpful. There are various factors involved which could be influencing the performance. Please give details.
Cheers

The Time-consuming each Update sentence in a Procedure???

If I have a mapping with a procedure that executes 5 Update sentences. It is possible to know How long will time-consuming each Update sentence(I want to see it in the OWB Runtime Audit Browser).
Is it possible?

Marcelo,
If you're asking whether you can get statistics about the throughput of the mapping... these are not necessarily directly in the audit browser, but you can query those from the public runtime views. For example:
select mr.map_name map_name
, t.target_name target
, to_char(r.start_time,'DD-MON hh24:mi') run_date
, to_char(trunc(r.elapse_time/60))
|| 'm '
|| to_char(r.elapse_time - 60 * trunc(r.elapse_time/60))
|| 's' exec_time
, r.step_type stp
, nvl(r.number_records_selected,0) s
, nvl(r.number_records_inserted,0) i
, nvl(r.number_records_updated,0) u
, nvl(r.number_records_deleted,0) d
, nvl(r.number_records_discarded,0) dsc
, nvl(r.number_records_merged,0) m
, nvl(r.number_records_corrected,0) c
, decode( nvl(r.elapse_time,0)
, 0, 'N/A'
, to_char(trunc(r.number_records_inserted / r.elapse_time , 2))
) through_put
, r.end_time - r.start_time exact_duration
from all_rt_audit_map_runs mr
, all_rt_audit_step_runs r
, all_rt_audit_step_run_targets t
where mr.map_run_id = r.map_run_id
and mr.map_run_id = t.map_run_id
and r.step_id = t.step_id
and r.run_status = 'COMPLETE'
order by r.start_time
(run as runtime repository owner; 9.2 compliant)
Thanks,
Mark.
