Upgrading to FCE3 with unfinished project.

So I just bought the upgrade to go from FCE2 to FCEHD(3) and I'm in the middle of editing a wedding video. I want to be able to make full use of LiveType for this project, however I am hesitant to upgrade while working on a project.
Does anyone have any advice or could they just tell me if they had any issues upgrading please?
Muchly appreciated.

The upgrade should be fine, as long as your system is operating properly - at a minimum be sure to Repair Permissions before you install the new version.
I would strongly suggest backing up your project before upgrading. That would include your FCE Project File and, if it were me, also the Autosave folder & files. If you want to be thorough, also backup all your captured clips & other source media files. Don't worry about any render files or cache files, FCE will take care of them.
If something goes wrong, and you have the backup copies, you could uninstall FCE3 and reinstall FCE2 and be back where you started.

Warning for those with unfinished iDVD 5 projects

If you have an unfinished iDVD project in V5 and it includes media from an iPhoto 5 library there are a couple of steps you'll need to take to keep your project from getting trashed.
iPhoto 6 changes the folder structure of it's library folder drastically. iDVD will not be able to link to files in the library and to do so manually would be impossible unless it was only one or two. So here's what you need to do.
1 - make a backup of your current iPhoto Library folder. Name it "iPhoto6 Library".
2 - when you launch iPhoto 6 the first time, use the Option key and when asked to locate your library select the "iPhoto6 Library" folder.
Now when you launch iDVD 6 and select the unfinished project it will look in the old library folder to find the files and you're off and running. Then when you've completed the project you can trash that iPhoto Library folder to regain space again.

Even better advice: Don't upgrade until you finish your iDVD5 project. I don't know how many times I've seen people posting here who have lost an important project because they upgraded in the middle of working on it.
Also: backup, backup, backup!

please let me know which of your upgrades will work with my operating system.
i cannot lose contact with all my accounts. that is what happened the last time i tried to upgrade.

How to transfer an unfinished project from premiere pro 2014 to premiere pro cs6

Ok I a not too savvy with my new MAC or computers in general but i used to work with Power Director excellent product on my PC. So how do you transfer an unfinished project from Premiere Pro 2014 to Premiere Pro Cs6

Um ... by basically re-doing the project ... as there's SO much added to CC since the CS6 version, the tools have changed, the available effects have changed, the underlying code has changed ... there's just so much that CC can do that can't be done in the old CS6 version.
You can try exporting an XML and importing that into CS6 ... sometimes that works better than others, it hath been stated. This is sort of like trying to put a modern engine with all the computer controlled gizmos & pollution controls & fuel injection and designed to work with a 5-speed auto transmission into a 1965 Chevelle. With the older 3-speed manual tranny. How do you do it? Rebuild everything ... both the engine & the car. Lot of work.

Upgrading to 10.1-old projects?

I am just finishing some projects and starting new ones this week. I am wondering how easy it is to get used to the new 10.1 system of FCPX...Is a tutorial necessary?
What if I need to get into old projects that I did in previous versions? How complicated is that? Thanks.

It is not complicated but it worth planning and following the videos by Steve Martin and Mark Spencer that explain quite clearly the upgrade process and the new media management.
Updating to 10.1 is totally worth it.
Older projects can be upgraded and used with 10.1

Captivate 4 issues with aggregate project

Ok... Here's the situation my parent's went away on a weeks vacation..
Sorry. Just had a 90's flashback.
I created a custom skin for use with my project. I test out when I publish my individual files and it works fine.
When I combine files into an aggregate project, I lose my top and right border...
PLEASE HELP ME
I need this for branding purposes. I created a custom border.
Thanks

Yikes. That's not good.
I don't know of any specific upgrade bug but there's definitely bugs living under the hood of Captivate in general.
Two approaches for handling these sorts of issues:
1. Copy all slides in your CP file, create a new blank project, paste in the slides.
or
2. Create a new blank project and import all the slides from the previous project.
Whether you want to do this in CP3 then upgrade, or do the upgrade from the original CP3 file then do either of those steps in the new CP4 file, up to you.
Were it me, I'd do 1 or 2 above in the CP3 file - trying to get as 'clean a source as I can, then convert and see how it goes.
But overall, regardless of how well it works for you, you may well have to go through and do some housecleaning.
However, I would not expect you to see these types of errors that are likely not things you can 'clean'...?
Something to try. Good luck!

De-link PPM Item with SAP Project

Hello,
Can somebdoy throw a light on what to do in case I want to de-link a PPM-item with SAP project.This situation may rise if I want to change the project actuals going to bucket A to bucket B.As I can not change the relationship of an item with the bucket, I am looking for alternate solution where I can de-link SAP Project with SAP PPM item.
thank you!
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra
If you are meaning to de-link a PS Project from a PPM Item, you can from the Item navigate to the 'Relationships' tab and then on the 'object links'sub-tab select and delete the assignment:
You can also remove a cProject relationship by clicking the 'Related Objects' sub-tab
Your comment that you cannot move an Item to a new Bucket - is this because your business process does not allow you to do so? Because this is definitely possible in the system.
Let me know if you have any further questions as I am not sure I have addressed your question
Regards

The timesheet creation failed, because of problems with the project I server or with data validation

Hi,
One of my user is facing issue in creating new time sheet,
"The time sheet creation failed, because of problems with the project server or with data validations".
This issue is coming to only few members out of 10000 members.
Note: For the same user, can able to do in other machines. only the problem in his machine. Have ran the office diagnostics, but still the problem persists.
Is any add-on's/any settings need to update in IE. Could any one please help me on how to fix this issue?
Many thanks in advance.

I would check the compatibility settings in IE etc, or try another browser (chrome, safari etc.)

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

How do I save Icon templates with the Project files?

My project files are stored in a folder, say, "My Documents\LabVIEW\My Project", and this folder, in turn, is saved under (Sub)Version Control. I'd like to include a sub-folder called "Icon Templates" that could contain the icon templates I'm using in this project, but they seem to be "forced" into "My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates" (almost the same, but the "owning folder" is different).
Is there any way to change, preferably on a Project-by-Project basis, the default location for Icon Editor templates? I tried to figure this out, and saw that one could change where "3rd Party" templates were stored, but that didn't seem to do anything (maybe because I don't understand the concept of a "3rd Party"?).
An important (to me!) reason to accomplish this is that I want to commit my new icons when I commit the rest of the Project, and have them appear when I checkout the project on another machine (or do an update from the Repository).
Suggestions welcomed ...
Bob Schor

Well, I thought of this as well. I did change Default Data Documents (which seems to be where Icon Editor expects to find its Templates file) to My Documents\LabVIEW (instead of LabVIEW Data), and that worked (sort of). But that still doesn't solve my problem. I have multiple projects -- My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1, say, and My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 2, and want to have a specific set of icon templates for each stored, say, as Project 1\Icon Templates and Project 2\Icon Templates.
My problem is two-fold. First, there is a setting in Icon Editors, Tools, that seems to be designed to let you designate where your "special" templates are located, which I've set to, for example, My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1\Icon Templates. However, when using the Icon editor, these templates never appear! It's as though it's still "locked" into the "3rd Party" sub-folder of the parent Icon Templates folder. Second, even if this worked (which it doesn't), is there a way to "embed" this setting as part of Project so that the settings "stay with the Project" (and can thereby be customized)? One important reason to do this is to simplify organizing Projects and folders on disk -- I keep them "together" (use the same structure for both, so a Project is contained, on disk, inside a single set of nested folders), which greatly simplifies and facilitates using Version Control to manage development.
Thanks for the reference. I didn't know about all of the symbolic names. It does appear that they are only used in the VI Search Path entry, correct?

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
