Unable to use, edit (modify) imported 3D Composition (compositions) as they are flat in main Comp.

Hi everyone.
need your help please.
as I have been working in totally different After Effects Compositions thinking it would be better (cleaner work area) not that it is time to put the pieces together I have found that my 3D extruded shape layers are flat and not offering 3D.
This has happened with 3D Text as well. I have tried parenting the imported 3D compositions but that did not accomplish anything.
I hope I have given enough information to help you understand the issue.
as an example I produced a 3D text layer of the letter "D" ......extruded it and made it the main support for a Widescreen monitor. added all the belles and whistles , rotated and it looks great.
However it will not open as 3D nor any extrusion editing features.
any help would be really appreciate.
best regards,
Bob Joynt

You have either turned off ray traced rendering or nested your extruded comp in a standard comp and made the layer 3D. Please go through the help files on extruding and bending layers. The only thing wrong is your workflow.

I just upgraded to mountain lion. I am unable to use airplay mirroring through my apple tv. They are both on the same network. It says a airplay icon should appear in the menu bar but it isn't there. What am I missing here?

Are you saying that the tick-box shown in my screenshot, isn't there? (Yes, this is iTunes 11 - I've turned on the sidebar and the Menu bar. So you can see, this is a CD in my drive that we're looking at.)
If it isn't, go to Edit/Preferences/General and turn on the tick-box box
You can show the Menu Bar (with Edit on it) by using CTRL + B

I just installed the latest version of iTunes, but when I went to open iTunes I got a message saying registry settings used to for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing and I should reinstall iTunes. Really?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

i'm using a macbook pro retina, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB. operating OSX Yosemite 10.10.1

Help! I foolishly filled up my desktop with piles of screen grabs and folders - no doubt that was the cause... what do i do, aside from punish myself for being so stupid?

In the documents screen - sorry, new to this so not sure if that's the right terminology... Basically the screen showing all documents, if you drag down, there should be two options at the of of the page: Date and Name. Select Name and your list should now be in alphabetic order.
Hope that helps.

Can I use my data from iPhone onto iPad if they are with different networks?

You don't have to be connected to the same network in order to transfer files – your devices automatically set up a direct wireless connection for AirDrop.

When I use IWeb for my blog, many people claim they are unable to use the comment window, claiming they get an "error" message. I have check "allow comments" on the appropriate page. Any help would be great.

When I use IWeb to post my blog, many readers claim they are unable to post a comment. When they attempt, they receive an "error" message. I have check and re-checked that "allow comments" is checked in the appropriate window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can publish your blog on any server but will lose the commenting capability. Since you'll have to find a new host soon anyway since MMe will go away on June 30, you might consider converting your blog to WordPress as that's the only other blog type that an MMe blog can be converted to and keep it's comments, etc. Rage Software has create an application that will convert an iWeb blog to WordPress: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog | iWeb to WordPress. That way you can keep your blog's continuity.

My video clips are just black when i import them to iMovie! (they are mp4) p.s. i have alot of clips

I keep importing all these video files which are mp4 format and they have thumbnail pics but when i hover over them to preview they turn black and i cant see any thing!?
do i have the wrong format or what? I have worked with imovie alot and this has ever happend...
HELP PLEASE!!

It is possible that the clips are are variant of h.264 that iMovie cannot read.
I would suggest that you get a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from squared 5 dot com.
Drag one of your clips into MPeG Streamclip. The File/Export Using QuickTime. Choose either the Apple Intermediate codec or the h.264 codec. H.264 will give you a smaller file. Apple Intermediate Codec will give you a larger file but smoother editing performance.
In iMovie, use File/Import Movie to import this new clip.
If that works, then MPEG Streamclip has a batch mode where you can do all the clips at once.

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

Unable to use "Edit in Photoshop"

I am using Lightroom 3 on my Mac. I have been unable to switch from Lightroom to "Edit in Photoshop" when I go to the "Photo" menu - the words are just not highlighted. I have tried to access this through Library and Develop. What am I not doing right? Thanks

If you have PSE installed, you should get the option "Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements ..." in the context menu.
If not I would re-install PSE8.

Unable to use edited background image

I am using Captivate 3 on Windows XP Pro. After I edit a
background image in an external image editor, the image is saved in
a temporary folder, and I can't work out how to incorporate it back
into Captivate so it will replace the original image. There doesn't
seem to be anyway of identifying the "Library" folder through
Windows Explorer to replace it.
I'd be grateful for any guidance on this,
David

Hi David and welcome to our community
How are you kicking off the edit process? Right-clicking the
image in the library? If so, the Library should auto update. But
you may also need to right-click and choose update to force it.
If you just copied into an image editor, you should be able
to simply select and copy inside the image editor and paste into
the background to update.
Cheers... Rick
