Upgraded to Leopard, now fonts on clip ids in browser window unreadable

Running FCE 2.0.2. Program works fine, I just can't read the titles of my clips in the bin in the browser window anymore. They're there, just kind of tiny and bold and mush. Is there a way to reset the display font in the bin/browser window? Ideas????
Thanks, James

Wait for 10.5.1, I guess, but you really can't expect FCE2 to run well on Leopard.

  • Changing (master) clip name in browser window

    Hello,
    Did a search for this but found very little and that which was found confused me. Does anyone know whether it's safe to rename clips in the browser window within FCP? And whether it maters if they are master clips or not?
    I just got back from Iceland (went specificly to film) and captured each whole tape with "capture clip" letting FCP automaticly cut it up and name 1, 2, 3 etc. I wouldnt usually do this but I had to get it onto the computer quickly as I was so scared the tapes might break or get lost and the whole trip could be wasted.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    PS running: iBook G4 1.2GHz, FCP 5, OSX 10.4.5, Pal HDV (HDV HC1) And I know it's not really fast enough for HDV but thats beside the point

    You'll be fine. Just make sure you rename the clips within FCP's browser window, NOT the Finder. (Unless you want to re-import the clips and reconnect all the media) Cheers.

  • Upgraded to Leopard, now LEAP doesn't work

    I upgraded to Leopard over the weekend and came into work this morning only to find that LEAP authentication doesn't work anymore. It tries to connect then says "See administrator" which I would do except... I am the **** administrator.
    Luckily Tiger machines are still working around the office. Anyone have any idea why LEAP is now even worse than it was in Tiger?
    Oh and I did try the deleting that kext trick and it is still no good. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

    Just a quicky update to everyone. I'm posting this from another Mac running Leopard right now with a clean install that has to be hard wired since the LEAP authentication does not work. So I don't think there is a difference between an upgrade install and a clean install - it just flat out does not work.
    If there is someone out there from Apple that would like to work and test things with me then let me know. I have ready access to our enterprise network and I can try things out with in house machines or my own. Seems like something like this should have been tested before releasing it to the public.
    Here is some information about this SSID:
    Authentication supported is LEAP
    Encryption supported is WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise
    Exact problem:
    Network Name: MyNetworkSSID
    Security: WPA2 Enterprise
    User Name: MyUserName
    Password: MyPassword
    802.1X: Automatic
    This will just flat out fail.
    Then if you go under advanced, click on 802.1X, then change the domain to User. Then add a new configuration called WPA: SSID (where SSID is your own SSID) then enter your username, password, wireless network (use the SSID), and check off LEAP authentication and uncheck everything else.
    Then go back to picking a network, enter the SSID, pick the new configuration you just created instead of the Automatic setting and it will authenticate via LEAP BUT it will get a self-assigned IP address.
    So from there I'm lost. I can get it to KINDA work but not really. On my ACS server I can see my ID is successfully authenticating and then there is no real traffic after that - like the Mac just stops talking after that.
    I'm open to suggestions though and I'll try whatever people throw at me. It would be REALLY nice to get this working before the end of December at the very least because I have projects that sort of depend on it.

  • Just upgraded to Leopard now I get constant kernal panics!

    I just upgraded my G4 PPC to 10.5.8. I can do things okay on my computer for a while then it does the kernal panic. All updates have been done except the prokit 5 one (I use logic and the last upgrade messed with it). Could this be causing the issue? Here is the info.

    First, I would disconnect all peripherals except the original Apple keyboard and mouse. Boot the computer into safe mode if possible and do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your currently installed OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Now, you did not indicate if this upgrade to 10.5.8 was from an earlier version of Leopard or if you first upgraded to Leopard then to 10.5.8 using the combo updater. I'm assuming the former, so after you've done the above repairs reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Updater. If you did not use a Combo Updater, then you can download it from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    If the above doesn't help then I would suggest reinstalling OS X as follows:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    And, if the above doesn't help start looking at the probability of bad RAM.

  • Upgraded to Leopard now password issue

    OK I upgraded to Leopard on my G5 and cant log in with my password . I have read this forum and tried some of the related password issues when upgrading to Leopard . I can only log on when I use the root password I created , I think that the main issue with this is in the keychain . How do I disable the whole log in password so That when I turn the computer on it just boots up with out a password as it did before I did the upgrade .
    Thanks Mike...

    You can use the Leopard upgrade disc to reset the passwords. Follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    To start up in a user account rather than with a login, go to System Preferences -> Accounts. You should be able to change the pull-down menu next to "Automatic Login" to be one of the users or the administrator. This will require you to unlock the little lock and enter your password--which you may need to reset as noted above. Good luck!

  • Help! Upgraded Snow Leopard now I can't even log in

    Just upgraded Snow Leopard(I think it was the update from 10.6 -> 10.6.2) on my Macbook pro via the software updater. At the end of the installation I got a message saying that there was an error and the update didn't install correctly. I restarted the mac normally and got a log in screen (which I never had previously). I enter my password correctly and then get a blue screen for a few seconds before it brings up the login page again. I can't find a way around this. I know I have entered the password correctly because the login screen doesn't shake.

    You have a hosed installation. Step one is to try to boot into safe mode. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 If able, then download the 10.6.2 COMBO update and reinstall it. Hopefully, that will fix the issues. If not, boot with your SL install disc and reinstall 10.6.0. Alternatively, restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of your previous installation. See these for details:

  • Upgraded to leopard, now iPhoto is gone

    Hello,
    I upgraded my parents' computer to leopard (my mum tried and messed a bunch of stuff up so I just wiped it all and started afresh) and now iphoto is gone. We used to have it on this computer, and when I upgraded my computer iphoto came with it. I'm not sure how to fix this and since iPhoto is one of their favorite features I really need to fix it soon. Does anyone have some advice?
    Thanks in advance,

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    It’s on the System Restore disks that came with the computer. Isert and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only’.
    Regards

  • Upgraded to Leopard, Now Constantly Dropping Shared Drive

    Just bought Leopard and upgraded. Have had a 1000-Gig hard disk set up for shared access through my Airport Extreme. Until now, all has been well. But with the Leopard upgrade, my Mac is constantly dropping the connection with the hard drive.
    Any ideas?
    .

    Hi,
    This issue has to do with the TC Konnect. Please refer this question to the TC Electronics people.
    Cheers

  • Fonts Missing in Mail after upgrading to Leopard

    After upgrading to Leopard, the fonts are missing in the font window in Mail program. I can compose only using what looks like helvetica. This is true only with this program. Any suggestions? Thanks

    After an elimination process, it appeared that there was a conflict of some sort on one of the accounts I had and unfortunately, that was the one with the most messages. Its a pain but my only work around it was to start all over again with Mail. If it helps yo, this is what I did: a) backed up my Mail : user/library/mail and backed up the preference file : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    b) removed the Mail preference : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    c) restarted Mail and created the accounts all over again via the setup helper
    d) imported the mail boxes from where I saved them including those in the 'pop' folder
    Now I have they old messages available in a folder I renamed 'archived' that is in the "ON MY MAC" section of the side bar.
    IT IS TEDIOUS AND I AM PRETTY SURE THERE IS A MORE ACCURATE SOLUTION OUT THERE TO THIS PROBLEM.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • Lost all autofill usernames & password after migration & upgrade to leopard

    I recently got a new imac, migrated all my old info to the new machine, then upgraded to leopard. now safari has none of my previous usernames & passwords stored in autofill preferences. can i go back to my old machine and find a prefernce list or something to put on my new imac so i don't have to go refigure all my usermanes & passwords?
    i transferred from the old half-dome imac to a new 24" imac, which i LOVE!!

    Be sure to use software update to get the latest version of Leopard 10.5.1. Then, if the passwords still do not appear, try this:
    I found this answer on another discussion question.
    Open Utilities:Keychain Access
    Click on Passwords in left column
    Scroll down to "Safari Forms Autofill" and double-click
    Open access control window
    Click radio button that says "Allow all applications to access this item"
    Close window--you will be prompted for your password.
    Note: this works for other items in the password window.

  • What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

    What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
    Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
    (Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
    My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
    Thanks

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • Upgraded to snow leopard, now safari scrolls a page down when space bar is hit and sometimes crashes.  Any ideas for a fix?

    I just upgraded to the new snow leopard, now my Safari is acting loopy.  At times, the page will scroll down when I hit the space bar.  As I type this discussion the screen isn't paging down, but if I go to the tab where I have facebook loaded and hit the space bar, it acts as a page down key.  I've had safari crash about 5 times tonight for no apparent reason.  The delete key sometimes will act as a page back key.  I really have no idea whats going on. 
    I've had keyboards go wacko on me before due to something being spilled on them or a wireless problem, but this keyboard is a wired keyboard and nothing was spilled on it.  It's rather new and I'm quite certain it's not a keyboard issue. 
    No settings have been changed on the computer.  The only thing different today from yesterday, is the fact that I upgraded to snow leopard.
    Help would be pretty sweet.   
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Upgraded to snow leopard, now browsing SLOW can I reinstall?

    I wasn't having any real problems with Leopard, but when Chrome stopped updating flash for it, I decided what the heck, I'll upgrade (against my better judgement). 
    So, I ordered my Snow Leopard disk directly from apple.  Backed up my Mac with Carbonite. Then installed SL on my Mac.  At one point it hung up, but after I eventually decided to shut off the computer and restart it, everything appeared fine. I also ran all the updates so my safari is 5.1.7 and my SL is 10.6.8.

    Browsing has become horribly slow.  I'm always getting the beach ball, and it Chrome and Safari keep becoming nonresponsive.  I didn't realize I was supposed to do a REPAIR DISK BEFORE my upgrade.  I have run REPAIR DISK several times now. I heard that there were a handful of items that would repeatedly show up as needing to be repaired, even though they are actually ok, BUT I just ran a repair disk AGAIN and there must have been 150 line items to repair.  It said it would take 39 minutes. But it actually took about 15. 
    I realized that "rosetta" was not selected when I installed (but I don't run any windows programs anyway).  Also, once when I got hung up in Safari, I was in the Zynga gaming site and multiple windows started showing up telling me to run in 32 bit mode. I tried changing to 32 bit (even though it didn't seem to make sense because I'm not running anything that would require  32 bit) but it made no difference.  I've since returned it to 64.
    So I'm wondering, Can I REINSTALL Snow Leopard?  Since I've done a repair disk again, can I just stick the disk in and try to install like normal? Do I have to back anything off?  I've had my Mac for years, but NEVER had any problems with it, and never had to upgrade so this is new to me.  (I was used to Microsoft before, that caused me problems CONSTANTLY, especially needing to upgrade constantly.
    BTW, I don't have a LOT of different docs stored on my Mac, just a ton of pictures (which was my reason for needing to make sure it was all backed up). 
    Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.  I would like to be able to browse without having to FORCE QUIT every 10 minutes.

    I've done multiple safari resets.  I've also repaired permissions multiple times.  So here's what I've done. I did another disk permission repair, then put the snow leopard disk back in and ran the install again.  It acted a little odd, for example in the middle of the install the computer shut down and started up again on its own.  I just left it.  Then, it seemed to be stuck on 1 minute left for a solid 20 minutes, but eventually I got messages that it finished. Then, after doing a repair again I noticed safari was reset back to 4.0, so I ran all the other upgrades. Did repairs between each. 
    I also noticed that Flash player wasn't upgraded to current, so I did that. 
    So safari wants to take a while to open now when I click it.  I usually get a beach ball.  Also happening with Chrome. 
    I play 2 games on Zynga, and have since discovered that I can't play one of them (rubyblast) anymore because it the brower (doesn't matter if its firefox, chrome or safari) lags. 
    Is there some way for me to see how much memory these games require, and if that could be my problem?  I honestly don't know much about Mac memory.  I don't have many applications installed except for what came iwth my computer 4 years ago.  I do have a HUGE number of pictures on my mac though (and since iphoto duplicates those pictures, I have nearly double). 
    Am I missing something?  I didn't want to upgrade from Leopard because my Mac ran just fine. I only did so because Chrome dropped support for it.  I like using chrome occasionally.
    If someone can help I'd appreciate it. I have 3 days left on a carbonite trial (which isn't enough time to restore my Mac if I need to) so I'd like to think I'm just missing a common thing.
