Two Problems - Trash and Moving Clips

Problem 1)
I can't drag clips out of the iMovie trash. The application closed and moved some valuable clips into the trash.
Problem 2)
I can't drag clips into the bar any more and one of the clips appears faded in the 'library' of to be used clips. When I try to move another clip, that one becomes faded (but doesnt move into position) and the other one returns from it's 'faded' appearence.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Selecting and moving clips to the right of the TCI

Is there a way to be able to move the editted clips that are to the right of my current TCI, and keep the edits as they are?
I'm looking for a ripple delete with more control if that makes sense. My old editting software had a group tool which alowed me to make a cut and move every edit to the right, to exactly where I wanted to move them. I tried using the track select, but it only works on the track I drag, even if I select more than one track.

I'm not sure what the tool is called--I call it the "A-Tool" because you hit "A" to get it to come up. Anyway, hit "A" on your keyboard and shift+click on the left-most clip that you want to move, and it will select that clip and all clips to the right of it, on all tracks. Then you can move them over. If you don't shift+click, but just click, it will select only the clips on the single track.

Trimming and moving clip problem since update 8.1.0

The latest update has brought on a small bug that I am starting to notice when dragging or trimming clips. Unlike previously, the point when the cursor transforms to a 'trim icon' (when hovering over the edge of a clip selected or otherwise) is not grabbing when I click and drag to extend, shorten, move a clip inside the timeline or to adjust clip length using the ripple edit tool. After multiple tries (using variations of selecting the clip first then going to the edge, only selecting the edge a clip, making sure all clips in the work area of the timeline are selected before making an adjustment) it seems to finally work but shows no consistency as to which method is the proper way of handling it. This is a bit frustrating and slowing down my workflow by a noticeable amount. Did something change here? Or is there an underlying problem that is creating this new issue for me?

I experienced this EXACT lag after upgrading to 8.1. The only solution I could find (after many Adobe staffer recommendations on this board, and many hours with Adobe Support on the phone) was to go back to version 8.0.1 until Adobe figures out the issue.
Out of curiosity, what size and type of sequence and footage are you working with? 4K and/or RAW by chance?

Problems creating and moving catalogs

I'd like to keep photos, together with their catalog, on an external drive. After I move photos to the drive, I use Catalog Manager to create a new catalog on the drive, and import the photos. All goes well until I switch to another catalog on my main drive. The custom location for the newly created catalog on the external drive appears in Catalog Manager, but no catalogs appear. There is no way to switch back to the catalog I just created. I can see the catalog in the Finder, but I can't find a way to switch to it in Photoshop Elements 10. It just doesn't appear in the Custom Location list in Catalog Manager. (I've verified that there are no permissions issues with the external drive.)
I thought I might try creating the catalog in the default location and then moving it (via Catalog Manager) to the external drive, but the Move option is grayed out for all my catalogs—current or not current. I can click on any catalog in Catalog Manager and the Move button never becomes enabled.
I've tried repairing the catalog, but Catalog Manager reports no errors.
What could be going on?

Yes, the catalog opens when I double-click the file in the OS X Finder. However, the catalog still does not show in Catalog Manager.
Given that Adobe provides the Catalog Manager functionality with the option of creating more than one catalog and switching between them, I think I shouldn't have to defend my desire to use the feature as intended. I suppose you could also say that many people recommend you use another program than Photoshop Elements to manage your photo library, so that there's never an issue of having problems with Photoshop Elements. But I want to use Elements, and I want to use the features it provides.
Does anybody know why the catalog does not appear in Catalog Manager, and why the Move button is not enabled for any of my catalogs?

Two problems, disconnecting and extremely slow internet at a certain time of the day.

My first problem started to occur since the beginning of this year, after I've upgraded from 1MB/s to 3MB/s. EVERYDAY at 2:39 PM EST or sometime around there, my internet would disconnect (most common at 2:39). It would take some 5-20 minutes to reconnect by itself. I go to 192.168.1.1 and go to broadband connection and press disconnect, then reconnect to get myself back on asap. It would take me a few tries disconnecting and connecting to get the internet back up. I probably do disconnect during other times of the day, such as night time but I don't notice it as much because I am not using the computer at the time.
My second problem is slow download speed at night. As I said, I have a 3000/667 kb/s connection. My internet connection speed is normal during the day time .. but when I ran a speed test during night time, I get around 333 kb/s download and 600 kb/s upload. So, my download speed drops significantly at night and my upload speed is normal.
I am using a D90-327W15-06 modem and I am not using a wireless connection.
Margin (dB) 14.5 11.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 40.0 23.0
Transmit Power (dBm) 18.4 11.9
Don't know if that information helps ..
P.S Sorry if this is a lot to read, I wanted it to be as much detailed as possible.

#1 Is wireless in the router enabled?
#2 If so, to question number one above: What level of wireless security is it set to ( WEP / WPA )?
#3 Did you try connecting your modem to the NID?
If not, please do that - and recheck those stats.
If you do not what a NID is, see http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317

Problem highlighting and moving things with left mouse button on Sat A100

Hi,
my problem started after a reinstall, I wanted to highlight something on a web page, then copy and paste it, but couldn't.
Then I wanted to move the bar on a excel worksheet, but couldn't, the cursor changes shape etc nut it wont let me highlight or move stuff?
(i've downloaded the most recent drivers etc)
It's a bit like the right and left click actions are a bit mixed up?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Grant

Mouse button configuration can be set for right-handed and left-handed users.
Have you checked this option in mouse properties?

Two Problems: Batteries and Clicks

First problem:
I have a 60 mb 5th generation, less than a year old. I almost always listen to and keep it on a dock, which is plugged into an outlet and which I assume is always recharging the battery. I accidentally left it off overnight, and now the battery is completely dead. Unless it was playing all night unbeknownst to me, the battery should have more life than this when it is left off the charger.
Second:
I hear noticeable clicks between songs when playing it through the dock. Don't notice this when using headphones, or when other ipods are plugged into my dock speakers. Any suggestions?

Also, is there any way to get rid of stuttering? It has happened with multiple songs since before the update.
just doublechecking. have you worked through the possibilities from this document?

Quick question: what is the difference between graphic and movie clips?

What is the difference between the two symbols: graphic and movie clips? They both contain frames..?

movie clips can have
instance names : so they can be controlled via actionscript
filters applied : drop shadow, glow, blur, color adjust etc
blend modes applied : difference, screen, lighten, darken, etc.
3d transformations
graphics:
none of the above
the only real practical reason to use a graphic is the reason jdehaan stated. a graphics internal animation can be scrubbed via the main timeline. graphics will only advance when the main timeline advances. when the main timeline stops.. graphics stops.
movieclips on the otherhand are said to run independent of the main timeline. so you can have a MAIN timeline with one frame only and the movieclip's interior animation will run constantly.
also via the properties panel you can tell a graphic to stay stuck on a certain frame or loop a set number of times.
always use movieclips unless you have a reason not too. as kglad said it will save you and others a lot of hurt in the future.

Two problems with iPhoto and mutiuser iMac

I have an iMac with two users. I moved my iPhoto library to the Users/Shared folder. When I log on as the first user and open iPhoto it opens to the library in the Users/Shared folder, which is what I want. When I log on as the second user (after closing iPhoto for the first user) and open iPhoto there are two problems.
First I cannot stop the "Welcome to iPhoto" window with the tutorials from opening. I uncheck the box at the lower left hand corner but it always opens every time I close and re-open iPhoto.
And second, When I open iPhoto holding the option key down, I get the option of selecting which library I want to view. I select the library in the Users/Shared folder, but when I close iPhoto and re-open I get the library for that user. Although when I open iPhoto and hold the option key down to select which library I want the message states "The same photo library will be used the next time you open iPhoto."
Can someone help me out with these two problems?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Both of these sound like a damaged Preference file in the Second User Account. So:
+In the Second User Account+ - i.e. the affected one: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

HT1526 I'm trying to delete files from the trash and an .InProgress file in Time Machine that cannot be moved to the trash. I cannot unmount the TM disk either. If I use the chflags -R nouchg command, I get a "Resource busy" message. Any suggestions?

I've got one or maybe two problems. Time Machine routinely crashes and there is a file in the TM folder that is an .InProgress file at the end of successful backups. Can't delete it, even using various sudo commands in Terminal. These come back with a "Resource busy" message.
Similarly, there is a Microsoft Office alias in my trash that will not delete, again including various delete or Terminal commands. Also "Resource busy"
I can't reformat the TM volume since it cannot unmount and it also cannot unmount the whole disk, which contains some other backup files I'd rather keep.
Any suggestions?
Mike

I'm not sure I can be very helpful since I was doing a lot of things and ultimately the problems went away. But one thing that definitely seemed to help was to shut down, restart, do something, shut down again and repeat. So with a clean start, try to move the file to the trash. If that works, shut down restart and look to see if it is still in the trash. Empty the trash. Shut down if it appears to empty and then restart. It seemed sometimes that the computer was doing what I wanted then something was overriding this and restoring. The shutdowns immedately after I could do something but before it engaged an override operation seemed to keep this from happening.
Sorry to not have more to offer but...

TS3899 Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Did you have Hotmail set-up with Android prior? I did, and if you did too, you have the same problem, and this is how to solve it.
From your desktop computer, the Hotmail (or Outlook) website uses the folder "Deleted" for your deleted messages as default. On your iPhone, the deleted folder's name by default is "Trash".
When I had my Hotmail with Android, it created a folder Trash for deleted messages, and it's creation was amongst all my folders. So when you go back and look at Hotmail from your desktop, you will see a folder Trash, in addition to the default Deleted. My Trash folder had all the emails I deleted from my Android.
That said, with the manual folder Trash that was created, when trying to set-up Hotmail now on iPhone, because I already had a folder Trash, it conflicted with the default "Trash" folder it wanted to created, so it didn't create it, being the reason why you can't delete emails, because it doesn't have the defaulted "Trash" folder to go to.
The solution is to delete the folder "Trash" from your desktop, uninstall Hotmail from your iPhone, and re-install, and it worked, the defaulted "Trash" was then created, alongside the "Sent" and "Junk".

I'm having a problem with downloading multiple app updates and moving songs between iTunes and my external hard drive.

I'm having two problems with iTunes, but I'm not sure if they're related issues. First, when I try to click "Download All Updates" for apps, only one update will download and I will get successive error messages for all of the other updates. However, if I click update for each individual app, they download fine. Why am I not able to download all app updates simultaneously now.
My second issue is that I cannot move songs from iTunes to my external hard drive or vice versa. When I drag the files, the blue plus sign appears, but the file does not appear where I moved it to.
Both issues have been occuring for about month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

It helps if you provide details - not just a problem
What exactly dod you have and have you done?
What version of iPhoto did you have and what version do you now have? Of the OS? If you are upgrading from iphoto '08 or earlier did you download and RUN the iphoto library upgrader?

HT1338 My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again. Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.
