TX Media program locks up computer

I have my Palm Desktop installed on two computers . . . home and work. Media USED to work. Now, when MEDIA is clicked, it locks up the Palm Desktop on both computers. What needs to be done? Thank you.

Have you tried opening the project while monitoring RAM with Task Manager? I find that things get wierd and unpredictable without warning on a 32 bit OS if your project reaches the point of stressing your available resources. 32 bit XP will only hand out 2GB of the total 4GB of addressable virtual RAM per application (the other 2GB per application is reserved for the system) and I find that things get unpredictable at about the 1.5GB point. The RAM in use can also creep upwards as you edit or sometimes even if you just scrub along the timeline. Depending on what you are trying to edit, 1.5GB in use can be reached with as little as 10-30 minutes of HD video. More than that for SD.
I am not entirely sure how to interpret the RAM usage in Task Manager so take this with a bit of a grain of salt. However, the 1.5GB point reported by Task Manager where things go bad has been pretty repeatable in my experience. I would like to suggest that keeping Task Manager open while editing problem projects be tested by others and then added to the FAQs. Watching RAM creep past 1.5GB (x86) is so far the ONLY thing that seemed to correlate crashes and freezes with anything observable.
Things get quite a bit better on a 64 bit OS even though PE is still a 32 bit app. I am using PE7 on my 1.6GHz dual core laptop under Vista Ultimate x64 with zero issues so far. I can even multi-task while rendering video with very little observable impact.

When I try to backup my catlaog the program locks up at "Calculating Total Media Size" 33%?

When I try to backup my catlaog the program locks up during the "Calculating Total Media Size" process at 33%?

I have seen this before and it is probably a bad video. There is no great solution. To determine if this is the cause I would remove all your videos from PSE and try to do a backup, if the backup works, one of the videos is bad. It is trial and error to determine which video. When you remove your videos from PSE make a note as to where you have put them so you can reload them..

Use security software or a router with a build-in password protected logging feature if you want to keep a record of visited websites.<br />
You can't prevent people from deleting the history and other personal (private) data in Firefox and a log elsewhere will always work even if other browser would be used.

Have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer.

How do I get the rest (or all) of the memos from my iPhone copied to my computer?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

"Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" - how to disable?

I am using the latest Firefox (28.0) on Windows XP in a shared computer environment. Although I do not have Administrator access, I installed Firefox myself and can change whatever Firefox config settings I want (including about:config and mucking with the files in the installation directory).
I want to disable the tab that appears on Firefox startup, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on". This tab usually appears once per day (the first time I startup Firefox each day). I want the tab not to appear at all, from now on.
The "another program" in question is some program that is used in the facility where I'm using the computer, so I can't just uninstall that program. Although this is a shared computer environment, they don't "wipe" the machine every day, just reboot. So the Firefox I installed is still there with all my config settings intact. As far as I know, I'm the only person who uses Firefox on this computer.
Solutions that don't work:
"Just click Continue" -- but then I still see the "Another program" tab every day, and don't want to see it.
"Click Remove in the Add-ons list" -- I removed the Add-on in question but the tab still appears every day.
I would like a solution that either eliminates the Add-on request for that particular application, or eliminates all such requests ("Another program...") regardless of what application requested it. The ideal solution would be if the request itself had a checkbox for "never ask this again" but, alas, no such luck.

Gosh... I spent about an hour preparing a response, then accidentally did control-something or alt-something which took me back a page and I lost everything I typed (even after I clicked Forward to try to get back to where I was). If anyone knows of a config setting like "don't ever trash an entire page of user input unless the user explicitly confirms it", or, "keep form input data even if the user goes Back or Forward", I think that would be a great feature.
OK, back to the original question...
I appreciate the responses thus far, but I think there have been some misunderstandings. Maybe a multiple-choice version would help:
Question: Is there a way to suppress the appearance of the notification tab that says, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" (meaning, any request from another program to install an add-on is to be silently ignored and discarded)?
Answer:
(A) Yes, you can suppress that notification (please state how).
(B) No, but you can request that feature (please state where).
(C) No, you can't do that or request that feature.
That's basically my question in a nutshell. If the answer is (B), I might envision a boolean about:config setting like "extensions.allowProgrammaticAddonRequests" that defaults to "true" and can be set to "false" manually. I think that would be the most direct solution (if it were possible).
I will respond to some comments from above:
"I don't understand why you are using a mozilla.cfg file to lock those preferences when you can modify the preferences for your current Firefox profile via about:config" -- This is because the "other program" in question (iCafe Manager) was setting certain config options (browser.startup.homepage, and browser.newtab.url) on every reboot (which happens every morning at that facility). I got tired of manually changing the settings back every day. Using the above-mentioned files, I successfully defeated iCafe Manager's daily interference with those config settings. The other things (like stuff related to Socks tunnelling) I probably could have just set once in about:config but doing a lockPref seemed to do no harm. The settings for "enabledScopes" and "xpinstall" were to see if they'd help with the problem I originally asked about, but they did not.
"I would look in about:config to make sure those preference modifications are in effect" -- yes, I confirmed that the settings are in effect and locked. That much works as expected.
"A) removing the iCafe Toolbar extension from the Firefox Addons -> Extensions panel results in the "Another program" tab at startup" -- true, but I think it would be more accurate to say: while the toolbar extension is not installed (due to either having been removed, or, never having been installed at all), the "Another program" tab appears on at least the first startup of Firefox after every reboot.
"B) when you allow the installation it shows up as "(disabled)" in the Extensions list but the unwanted toolbar still shows up (correct?)" -- yes, correct.
"You could explain the problem to the system administrator of your facility" -- unfortunately, there's no administrator on site, only a person who makes sure the lights are on. They'll call a tech if there's a catastrophic problem (like the net connection goes dead). Since I installed Firefox myself, and since iCafe Manager is a program they installed, I don't think they'll go out of their way to help me with Firefox (especially if I'm trying to defeat iCafe Manager's attempts to interfere with Firefox). From their point of view, their systems are working just fine.
"allow the installation and then see if you can go to the Firefox Customize menu and HIDE the toolbar as a workaround" -- since I'm not in that facility now (and probably won't be again until this summer or so), I can't experiment with those systems now. But I do recall clicking just about everything I could, including "View - Toolbars" (which seems to be the same menu as when I right-click on a toolbar line). That menu allows hiding toolbars, but from my recollection, the offending toolbar was not displayed in the list, so I could not hide it that way. Also, the Customize menu ("View - Toolbars - Customize") seems to allow only modifications to a toolbar, and not a way to hide an entire toolbar.
"it might help if you could post a new troubleshooting information list after you allow the iCafe Toolbar installation" -- ok, that troubleshooting report is included below.
Thanks again for your help.

Any way to lock a computer like in Windows?

So I'm really quite new to the Mac world, and I'm used to locking my computer when I'm not using it. With Windows, all you do is press the Windows key + L and it locks the computer, but all your programs keep running and everything. As far as I can tell, on Mac there's only one way like that, and that is to set the screen saver so that you have to type in your password to unlock the display, and set it to come on at the least time possible.
Since I'm primarily using Leopard instead of XP for everything, surely there's a better way to keep my computer from being hijacked by annoying little brothers?

Simple screen-lock passwords as described above will suffice for most people.
But understand that if a miscreant has physical access to your computer and the right tools (e.g., a Leopard install DVD) they can force a reboot of the computer and do things to give themselves complete password access to your files.
The most serious type of locking for the Mac is called an "Open Firmware Password". Setting one of those prevents things like booting from a DVD, booting in "safe" or "single user" mode, or booting into Target mode. Do some searches and read up on it before your consider trying it. Setting one of those can leave you with no recourse if your computer develops a problem, as you will not be able to boot into any of the modes that might help. Combining that with File Vault encryption of a user's Home folder (System Preferences / Security) is about the best you can do to lock things down in the standard Mac toolset.
Do understand however, that if someone has physical access to your computer long enough to take out the disk drive and put it in another machine, you will likely find that even this degree of protection can, eventually, be compromised. All you are doing is the same thing people are doing when they put stuff in a safe -- they are making it take long enough (and require a sufficient degree of expertise) to break in that most folks won't try.

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

Can you have two iTunes programs on one computer??

Both me and my sister have ipods but mine is a nano and hers is a mini, we both have different tastes in music as well. Is it possible to have two different iTunes programs on my computer? Help

Hello Karen,
There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

"Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" - how do I allow extensions?

I cannot get extensions to run or enable, nor does the browser remember my preference.
For example, after I install or Enable an extension, when I restart Firefox I get a tab for every extension that forces me to check "Allow this installation" after the prompt "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on".
Moreover, when I click 'Options' on an installed extension, Firefox freezes permanently.
Note that I DO NOT have any extensions.* files in my Profile folder, nor do they appear.
I am trying to get MozRepl running. I am able to install it, but the menu option does not get added in the 'Tools' menu. Moreover none of the installed extensions are able to add to the menu.

I have made the Profiles\ folder and all subfolders Read-only, including the files.
I have tried the "Reset Firefox to its default state".

HT1449 After moving music and movies from my MacBook Air to an external hard drive, do I create a new iTunes music and media folder on my computer then add more music and movies, then will I be able to move the computer music/media to the hard drive musci

I need to move the music and movies from my MacBook Air (original) to an external hard drive, after I do this, do I create a new music folder and media folder on my computer to load music/movies in via the dedicatd external drive and then would I be able to move the newly imported to the external drive which would be my main site of storage?

No, do it all in one go and henceforth only use the library located on the external drive.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
