Timelines have added "black" for no reason...

Hi there,
I'm seriously struggling to understand as to why I'm suffering this problem.
The deal is I've a fairly large DVD9 project in production and out of the 35 timelines 3 of them have mysteriously added around 30-40 seconds of black to themselves.
The three timelines in question are made-up of a single PSD and an AIFF file - each of the AIFF files runs for approximately 60 seconds with the PSD running to the same length.
When previewed in Encore 2 all is well - but when written out the mysterious black appears. My regime of checking involves writing the project out to a folder and then using a software DVD player to check. In this instance I've tried both Nero ShowTime and connected the drive to my Mac and consequently also tried Apple's DVD Player and in both cases the black appears across all three timelines under both players.
As a trial and error exercise I also constructed the three AVI's in place of the PSD and AIFF combination but to no avail!
Does anybody have any clues as to what is going on and possibly how I may be able to cure it?
Many thanks in advance.

For the record I've identified a fourth timeline in the project that also suffers the problem.
I've fortunately been able to rectify three out of the four by producing new timelines and dropping the same PDF & AIFF assets onto the new timelines and all is well.
The latest addition to this 'error', ie. timeline #4, runs for approx. 50 seconds and hangs around until around the 60 second marker before returning to its calling menu [ie., it plays around 10 seconds of black for no apprent reason].
Still none the wiser as to why this is the case... So, if anyone has any clues then please let me know!
Many thanks in advance once again.

I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

HT1338 The screen on My mac book pro goes black for no reason if I use the f1 and f2 keys it comes back

My screen on my mac book pro goes blank for no reason when I use f1 and f2 keys it comes back

You can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

How can i fix my mac book pro. My safari crashes all the time, my screen will turn black for no reason, My iPhoto crashes during upload from my iPhone, I can't highlight anything and I can't drag anything.

Someone PLEASE help me! I cant figure out what is going on with my computer. I don't install anything weird, but my brother does. He's very good at computer tech stuff and is in I.T, but I cant help but blame him for all the problems my Mac is having. Nothing works like it should. My safari will randomally crash, my screen will randomally turn back, my iphoto will crash during uploading from my iPhone, I cant highlight anything, I can't drag anything. When I want to click on something, I have to click over and over again just for it to even register. I know everything is up to date and recently reset my PRAM. I'm running Lion and have a lot of room on my hardrive. I have an external harddrive and I'm wondering if I should just move all of my important files over to it and completly wipe out my computer's hardrive and start from scratch.

Some folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well.

Screen goes black for no reason

Hi first post, My iMac intel seems to shut down intermittently, when it happens the screen goes black but you can still hear the fans running the white light is not on and there is no response from the keys or mouse so I have to hold the power button to turn it off.
Then when I turn it back on again you hear the fans start up, the light stays on and the screen stays black and would stay like that for life if I left it.
If I start it up 2-3 min after I have shut it down, it starts fine and will be ok for 5 min and then process happens again.
This can happen alot and some times will happen after 5 days of being ok and working perfectly.
Very frustrating! anyone els with this problem?
iMac intel 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There have been similar reports. Usually they needed to take it for a repair that was covered under warranty.
I suggest you plan for the worst and back up everything of critical importance. Call Apple for support, but do be prepared to erase your hard drive and reinstall your OS. If the problem then persists before you add any additional software or connect any other hardware, you've proven it's some hardware issue and can have Apple immediately fix it under warranty with no other effort on your part. Best of luck.

My I pad screen just went black for no reason and will not turn on again

My I pad suddenly went black and will not come back on with the on/off button.has any one have an suggestion as to the cause.

Firstly, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
If that does nor work, more sure battery I charged and if it still does not work go den the route of putting your device ino are cover mode -

Set "Payment Consolidation" for BP after we have added invoices for that BP

Dear Experts,
Currently, I have 3 BPs; bp01. bp02, bp03.
bp01 is the payment consolidation parent for bp02 and bp03, so I have also setup as accordingly in bp02 and bp03 to point to bp01.
However, my problem was... before I set the setting above, I had already have couple of invoices posted for bp02 and bp03. Now when I go to Incoming Payment and browse for bp01, I don't see the invoices for bp02 and bp03.
I understand that I had done the setting only after the invoices were created, that is why the invoices for bp02 and bp03 are not showing. But is there any way I can show all the invoices anyway when I want post incoming payment for bp01 now??
Much Thanks!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Dear Gordon,
Reversing the invoices is not an option because there are thousands of invoices in my case, however I have found a good enough workaround.
My objective is actually on how I can key in the Incoming Payment in SAP in my case, whereby the Parent BP really pays the invoice for her Children BP. Here is what I do:
1. Using the Parent BP, key in a "Payment on Account" Incoming Payment.
2. Then, go to Main Menu > Business Partner > Reconciliation > Manual Reconciliation
3. Tick checkbox "Mutiple BP"
4. In the list, browse for the Parent BP and all the Children BP. Then reconcile the incoming payment from step1 with all the relevant open invoices
5. Click on "Reconcile" to applying the payment
Hope it helps!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Does my iMac have added security for my personal information through the internet.

Does my iMac have security for my personal information, a gentleman keeps calking my phone and saying my computer is being hacked through my internet

Hi ..
Yes it does. The phone call is spam.
If you contact your phone carrier, they may be able to block the caller.

My iphone just went black for no reason. nothing worked on it. What happened?

My iphone just went black screened for no reasion. Nothing works now. What happened?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Is your phone still charging using the adapter or if you connect to the computer?
If yes, charge for at least 10 minutes before you connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Is it really necessary not to have admin rights for security reasons

I was told that i need to create a second admin account then log into that, then from there take away my admin privileges.. so I would not be an admin so computer will be much safer.
Which i did
But then so many passwords all the time.. need to insert the admin password for so many things and it is annoying it is like vista which i don't like at all.
is this really important to keep computer secure?
what are your leopard security tips?

You should have left your original account alone and created a second non-admin user account for day-to-day use. Any non-system apps you need, etc, you can install in the new account.
It's not easy switching horses in mid-stream so to speak, but it is safer than always using the computer as an administrator.
If you use Fast Switching, you can quickly access the original account anytime you wish.

Yes. Security should come before convenience.
Again, you are getting all this requests for passwords because you changed you main account rather than creating a new one.

I have iMovie and for some reason is crashing on me ?

Try Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not purchase! The said it was for security reasons as my account must have been compromised but only Apple have mu information.I am convinced the operator delete

Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not order. They said that my account had been compromised and it was in my best interests to delete it for security reasons! I am convinced the operator deleted my account out of sheer malice because I complained - can anyone advise?

No. It would have been done for security reasons. You notified them that money was being unknowingly taken from your account, so they froze it.
Change your Apple ID here
And also check for unusual activity on your credit card with your bank. Change all your security password while you are at it.

I was uploading songs onto matches when i had to reboot for another reason. When the computer rebooted and i opened iTunes, the Matches tab isn't there anymore. How do i solve this?

I know for sure that my uploads weren't done but i wanted to see how the iMac would react.
How do i fix this?

Sounds like iTunes Match may have gotten disabled for some reason. Pull down Store > Turn On iTunes Match and add your computer again.
