Title issues when exported and re-open FCP X

Every time I create a title box and change the words I export and I get "Title" again. All my work is lost. For example, it might say "Project Management" in a title text box, and I work on the project all day and then export and the video appears as "Title" and is no longer the size, this also happens when I leave for the day and open FCP back up and I have lost all my text. This is really frustrating I have deadliens to meet not spending all day trying to fix a problem that is now mine. Please tell me why FCP is doing this? I need some help! I have tried everything I can think of.

It has happened once in another project but I was able to re-type into it and it worked.
So it sounds as though it may be the project.
Try this.
Delete preference files with Preference Manager.
Delete project ender files.
Create a new project.
Copy the problem project and paste into the new project.
Test a title.
Good luck.

Titles squeezed when export from 16:9 FCP project but video OK

Hi,
I'm using Compressor to output a small QT file from FCP 5.1.4 to stream on the web; the source media is DVCPROHD 16:9. When I use the H.264 LAN presets, the video is displayed in the proper aspect ratio but the titles are tall and thin...any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
There is something wrong with the way Compressor handles stills & titles.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6548813#6548813
The only workaround that I have found is to export titles separate using "Export-Using QT Conversion", and then paste them into the resulting QT file created by Compressor... Really convoluted and time consuming when dealing with a lot of files and a lot of titles.
It would be great to hear from Apple about this issue.

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

The "Resume"/"Restore Windows When Quitting and Re-opening Apps" feature issues

The "Resume"/"Restore Windows When Quitting and Re-opening Apps" features have issues with restoring windows of various applications (Safari, Preview etc.) to the corresponding Desktops on which they were before system reboot/shutdown or app restart. E.g. Preview windows appear on random Desktops after the system reboot and on the sane (N1) Desktop after Preview restart. How to fix this?

Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the feature in this new account, if it works the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide. If it's in your user only, it's probably a Login Item or pref file.
If it's systemwide, since this feature may not have been tested on multiple Desktops

I have no idea what this means. Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7." I don't even know what computer that is.
I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed. But it's not running.

Alignement issue when exporting to PDF

Hello,
I'm having some alignment issues when exporting an InDesign file to PDF.
I have a couple of square pictures, touching eachother at the edges. These are aligned bang on in InDesign (the lines overlap), but when exporting to a PDF and viewing in there, it seems that some seem to jump up slightly.
Is this just a display issue or a setting issue when exporting to PDF?
Thanks
Benny

The detail is cropped too tight for me to tell how many photos are intersecting there. Is there a vertical intersection as well? If not, I think you're looking at a very slightly non-rectangular frame, if there is, then you might still be looking at a non-rectangular frame, or the frames are not perfectly aligned, which doesn't surprise me if you snapped to a guide -- I find that less than 100% reliable since CS6.
Presuming that you've zoomed in to show us the problem, that's probably a single pixel misalignment and you'd be very hard pressed to see it in printed output without a loupe.
You can check the bottom edge of the top photo, and the top edge of the bottom photo(s) for being out of horizontal by using the direct select tool to select the corner points and seeing if the y-coordinate is the same on both sides of the frame.
My printer tell me to always overlap frames, rather than butting them, for trapping, for what that's worth, but I don't always do what he says, and I've never had a problem.

How do I get rid of memory issue when exporting in imovie

How do I get rid of memory issue when exporting in imovie?

Delete the content that is filling it up. Text messages, iMessages, SMS, emails, Safari Cache; essentially all data for all of the built in apps.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
Any help would be welcome

This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

Where is my "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option?

I want to turn off the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option but I don't see it in my General pane of the System Preferences, unlike what the on-line posts say. What am I missing? Running 10.8.4

Quit all of your apps.
Navigate to here: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.loginwindow.*.plist (whereby * is a bunch of characters)
Click the file, do a File > Get Info and lock it using the Locked checkbox.
To reverse this setting, simply unlock the file!
Another helpful hint as well: Lion, by default, hides your ~/Library/ folder. To make it visible again without showing all of your other invisible files, simply open up Terminal and type:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/

Lion: failure to honor un-setting of "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" ?

I have noticed an annoying "feature" of Lion, and I'm hoping that someone might have found a workaround.
If I uncheck Preferences->General->Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps, some of my apps still seem to ignore that setting after a restart.
Here's a scenario which illustrates the problem:
Uncheck the Preferences setting mentioned above.
Open up a few Finder windows.
Open up a few Terminal windows.
In the Terminal Preferences, disable everything related to Window Groups.
Do a Logout or a Restart. Uncheck Reopen windows when logging back in.
Relog in.
Open one Terminal window.
After step 6, all of the Finder windows which were previously open before Logout or Restart will also reopen.
After step 7, all of the Terminal windows which were previously open before Logout or Restart will reopen, in addition to the single Terminal window which is manually opened after login.
The only way I can prevent this from happening to Terminal is to add the following two lines right before the final </dict> tag in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/Info.plist:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
However, this has the undesirable side-effect of not showing anything about Terminal in the menu bar or the dock.
None of this used to happen in Snow Leopard, Leopard, or Tiger. Does anyone know how I can disable this unwanted window-opening-after-relogin behavior in Lion?
Thanks in advance.

Try the Lion community, there are others with same and similar questions;

To urabus. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this is does not work for me. Furthermore, even if it did work the way you said, it would not be a viable alternative for me.
When I hold down the Option key and select the Terminal menu, I see this: Quit and Keep Windows, not Quit and Discard Windows. If I let go of the Option key, this menu entry changes to simply Quit Terminal. Therefore, I don't even have the option to quit and discard my windows.
As I mentioned, however, even if I had the option you mention, it is not desirable for me. When I restart, I want the OS to properly close all my open windows in the same way that it did in Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Tiger. It is not desirable for me to have to manually close some or all of my apps in a special way before restart, simply to cause them to behave the way that un-checking Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is supposed to control.
Here is one reason (out of several), for why I don't want this auto-reopen-windows-on-restart "feature": some of my Terminal windows run ssh sessions to remote sites. It is a Bad Thing for these ssh sessions to be auto-restored after Restart, without my having to specificially initiate these sessions.
IMHO, Apple should offer an alternative to this undesirable behavior. For example, during the shutdown procedure which is part of a Restart, we are asked if we want to kill any open Terminal windows. The "Quit and Discard Windows" option could be offered at that point ... but it isn't.
Furthermore, as I mentioned above, this unwanted behavior also occurs in Finder.
Is there any option that I can set in my system or in the defaults for com.apple.Terminal and com.apple.Finder which would force an automatic "Quit and Discard Windows" on restart or re-login?
Updated to add second paragraph which explains how hitting the Option key when selecting the Terminal menu does not work.

Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps will not stay unchecked

I upgraded my early 2011 model 15" MBP to Lion and this new feature is resulting in lots of strange behavior when it comes to system start-up and when i launch apps afterwards. For now, I want to simply shut this feature off, so I go to System Preferences > General and I uncheck the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" control. If I then close and reopen system preferences, the check on this control is back! I have tried various forms of other work-arounds such as locking the folders on an app by app basis in the ~/library/Saved Application State folder for the apps that act wierd and it sort of helped, but nothing seems allow me to just shut this off globally and make it stick. Any thoughts on why I can't get the preference change to stick?

The Preferences selection simply stops the applications themselves from relaunching (previous state) windows when you launch them manually.
The log-out check box is for something entirely different. It stops the applications from relaunching, if they were open when you logged out, or shutdown.
There is no way to keep that second behaviour from occuring as a default. Apple will have to make a change in Lion to make the change something you can set as a permanent preference.
I use an automator script application to perform my shut-downs with one click. I have an alias for the script in my dock, right next to the Finder icon. The same script also "uncheck's" the box of which you are speaking.

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...
Manish

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

OBIEE 11g - issue when export to a csv file

Hello,
I have an issue when I try to export to a csv file a report having numeric feild, when I export and open the file in notepad the trailing zeros to the right of decimal points do not show up.

Do you know what can be done in order to have trailing zeros to the right of decimal points to appear in a csv?
Thanks
