Using the media manager

Hi I have been given avi files for editing whilst the original video was shot in dvc pro.Will I benefit from quality if I convert all avi files to dv pal or any other format in the media manager?or will the quality stay the same since I am converting from avi?
The problem is that I ve been given the files in avi and although I have the dvc pro tapes,I have no player to import these on better quality to my mac.
Whats the best thing I can do with the avi files so as to get the best quality possible for editing on final cut?
Thanks
Danny

FCP will support the AVI files you have, however they won't give you as much real time playback of effects that you could have if you converted them to QT movies using Apple's DV PAL codec. As far as the quality goes, it will be much the same I'd think.

Is there ANY way I can get music on my phone WITHOUT using the media manager?

Is there? I think it's ridiculous to have to pay for music service when I should be able to use the music I have already paid for with a different service.

You can sync music from your computer, if you have music on your computer. The steps of how to sync is provided below.
SYNC MUSIC
Allows you to synchronize your music files from PC to your phone.
In order to use this option, you must insert a microSDTM card and plug in the USB cable
(included inbox) to your phone and connect it to a USB port on your PC.
1. Slide the phone up, tap Media Center and then tap Music & Tones.
2. Tap Sync Music.
3. Drag and drop the song(s) you want to sync from your PC to corresponding
folders. Once synchronization is complete, tap Cancel or the Home Key, and
disconnect the USB cable (included inbox).
4. Under Music & Tones menu, open My Music to view and play your music files.

Please i appreciate if anyboy can help me. And sorry for my poor english.

I don't know how to help you, I never like the media manager anyway. I live happily without it using this :

Should I Fear the Media Manager?

I'm admittedly a little paranoid when it comes to using the media manager. I have a feature film that I do not want to screw up, but I DO want to have it down to a more manageable size. I figure that if I 'copy', 'include master clips outside', but 'delete unused media', 'include affiliate clips' and create a new project - I should be fine correct? I'll also include all multiclip angles.
All that I want to do is make sure that the original files are left intact. I will be copying to another external, but I want to leave the original files alone. Is there any danger of the original files being compromised in any way if I make sure that I 'copy' (ie. NOT set it at 'use existing')? Is there anything else I should take into consideration prior to backup? Thanks for any and all help.

When I've worked with a sound guy, they've normally worked with ProTools and thus just needed OMF's of the tracks. I just provided a locked cut in the form of a DV export of my reels for his picture guide. Everything was in sync with both head and tail pops. No need to transfer the original QT files to the sound editor.
Now I don't know about STP. Perhaps that does require the QT files? Is that right? If so, then thats a shame because video in this case is a huge waste of time. All you need is the audio to him.
However, giving a new project to another editor for recutting etc, is a big deal. I'd like to hear more from others about their successes with MM since I wasn't impressed. In fact, I wish I could cut with two FCP 'seats' using Unity to share storage...sadly budget didn't allow for that.
I would say this: if your new project can relink with MM files then great. That means the other editor can work easily. We didn't have that experience.
I might add, when he passed a project with the new cut to us, we couldn't reconnect easily. A big pain.
Perhaps, MM is great when it is one way. i.e not a situation where editors are sharing work but more finishing and then handing over to the next person in the production flow. (sound editor e.g)

Can I use the Profile Manager as an MDM while distributing app through app store?

Is it possible to use the Profile Manager within the OSX Server to provision profiles through apps purchased in the app store?
Ex: userX buys app in the app store, in downloading the app they get enrolled in the MDM / OSX Server I control. They select profile settings within my app and submit to OSX Server (Profile Manager) at which point I send back OTA the provisioned profile for them to upload.
Ex: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parentkit/id600618138?mt=8
Thanks for the feedback!

Is this not possible? Is it possible but not allowed?

Using the transition manager on a movie clip prevents me from physically moving it after that

Hi,
I'm using the transitions manager to animate certain objects
in my movie. let's say I'm using it on a ball - using the following
code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function zoomIn(_mc) {
new Tween(_mc, "_xScale", Bounce.easeOut, 0, 100, .3, true);
new Tween(_mc, "_yScale", Bounce.easeOut, 0, 100, .3, true);
function zoomOut(_mc) {
new Tween(_mc, "_xScale", None.easeIn, this._xscale, 0, .05,
true);
new Tween(_mc, "_yScale", None.easeIn, this._xscale, 0, .05,
true);
and then calling it later with this:
zoomIn(ball_mc);
That works fine. But at a later stage of the movie I then try
to move the location of the ball - not with code but by adding a
key frame and physically moving it's location. When I play the
movie back it does not show that it moves.
I'd really just like to know why this is!
Thanks,
Ray

I think that once the Tween plays, the ball_mc, now resides
in it's final resting place, it might do this with all instances of
the mc, interesting though. I would have thought the same, maybe if
you move it and give it a different instance name it will not
effect the position on the new keyframe.

Firefox will not open - I have reinstalled and used the profile manager solution. It was fine earlier today. IE working fine.

I tried the suggested solutions including the 'clean install', any help would be most appreciated. I've used the Profile Manager, which is not much use when the browser won't even open to test it. I've also reinstalled twice, installed updates and restarted numerous times.
Firefox does do this on occasion, but usually sorts itself out - not this time.
Help!

You should check for malware or go back into regular mode and see if temorarily disabling your antivirus helps.

Using the Security Manager to restrict access to a single package

After reading up on the Security Manager, the package.access property and the use of the [accessClassInPackage RuntimePermission|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/permissions.html#RuntimePermission] , it seemed to me that it would possible to set up the following: I have a security-sensitive code base packaged in a jar, and I want to make sure that only one client code base that I specify is permitted to access it. The idea here is to prevent malicious code from executing anything in the sensitive code base; the sensitive code is only accessible to one client that I name in a security policy file. Perhaps rather foolishly, I advised a client to consider this before testing out a sample myself, because much to my surprise, it appears to me that it isn't possible to get the Security Manager to do this at all. Am I missing something? I'm a bit startled by this conclusion -- it seems like such an obvious use for the Security Manager, I'm hard-pressed to be believe that it can't be done, and more inclined to suspect that I'm going about it wrong.
Here's what I thought I could do: set up the package.access property so that it denies access to any package; then in the policy file, grant the RuntimePermission/accessClassInPackage to the client code base that is permitted to access the sensitive code.
Of course, you wouldn't want the package.access property to exclude all packages in the global java.security file, because then no code could be accessed at all. It would be necessary to use the trick of resetting the package.access property within the code, as [illustrated in the secure coding guidelines|http://java.sun.com/security/seccodeguide.html#1-1a] .
But the problem lies in the idea of "use the package.access property to deny access to +any+ package". There doesn't seem to be any way to use wildcards or the like with the property -- it has to specifically name packages (or package prefixes) to which access is forbidden. It wouldn't do to try to name the packages to which I'm trying to prevent access, since we're trying to prevent access from malicious code -- the attacker could just choose package names that aren't on the list. I'd really need to say that access is denied to all packages, except for those in the permitted code base, but the security mechanisms for package access don't seem to allow that.
Moreover, the trick of changing the value of package.access can't be done within the client code -- otherwise, the attacker client would just set the property to his own purposes. But it can't really be done within the sensitive package either, because the whole idea is to prevent access to that package, and by the time it's busy setting the property, it's already too late, because the package has to have been accessed by a client to get there at all.
It seems to me that this a symptom of something I've never really understood about the design of the Security Manager -- you can grant permissions to specific code bases, but you can't revoke permissions from specific code bases, let alone all code bases. What I want to do here is grant access permission to one specific code base and revoke it from all others. There doesn't seem to be any way to express that with the mechanisms of the Security Manager.
The more I look at it, the more it seems that there's just no way to use the Security Manager this way -- set up package access so that a specific code base can only be accessed by one specific client code base. There are surely other ways to get the effect that I'm looking for, but as far as I can tell, none of them involve restricting package access (for example: define a custom permission, grant it only to the permitted client. and check against that permission within the sensitive code base; meaning that the sensitive code has to be accessible to anyone in the first place). This conclusion really surprises me (not to mention my bit of embarrassment with the client); wouldn't this be precisely the sort of thing the Security Manager ought to be good for?

You're looking at this back to front. The security policy file is there for the client to decide how much access he is going to give this application, not for to application to restrict who can use it. If you want to control what used to be called 'state orientation' you can do that directly by looking down the stack trace inside your code.

I can't use my media manager

I've tried installing the verizon media manager (vmm) software on my pc several times. I attempted to contact verizon about my issues, but they seemed not to know what the media manager feature was let alone have and solutions on how to fix it. I have also changed different configurations on my computer to see if there were any conflicts i.e. turning off firewall settings and UAC, and deleting real player and quicktime. I'm just getting irritated and I don't know what to do.
The message I get while installing VMM is the media manager installation was interupted before it completed.
I'm wondering if any one knows the solution?
Thank you

Sorry that I cannot help you, but I just installed it two days ago on my Vista pc. I did not have any problems. Try right clicking on the file and select "Run as Administrator".

Firefox is running in the background, but the process can't be ended using the task manager?

The program wouldn't open because it was apparently still running in the background, so I restarted a few times which didn't help. Then I tried using the task manager to end the process but that didn't work either. Then opened the command prompt and used taskkill, then pskill (using the PID number) but neither worked. The problem wasn't with how I was using these commands as they could close any other program I had running, just not firefox.exe*32. Any ideas?

Try:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox.exe_always_open

About 2/3 of the time I leave Firefox, it is evidently retained in memory so I can't restart it without using the task manager. I don't use Norton or Skype programs. How do I keep this from happening?

Create a recovery catalog by using the Enterprise Manager Console

Dear Sirs:
I am using the Oracle9i database release 2. After installing the management server and running the Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant, there was no recovery catalog and no CATTBS tablespace created. According to the Help and to your documentation entitled Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuratrion Guide this recovery catalog and CATTBS tablespace should be created automatically.
Of course I am not running any target database on the same machine.
How can I create a recovery catalog by using the Enterprise Manager Console, and not by using the rman command prompt?
Please its urgent and I need an answer as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance with best regards

Dear Sir:
Thank you very much for your reply, but unfortunately it didnt help me. This article is repeating what is mentioned in the Help and the documents that I downloaded earlier. As I said earlier I know how to setup the recovery catalog by using the rman command prompt, but I couldnt do it by using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. By using the wizards it is supposed to be created automatically but nothing of this happened.
Please I need help urgently.

Sudden problems using the media button

I have the latest version of iweb and the latest version of iphoto (6.0.5). I have created many web pages and sites, always using the media button to import photos into the new iweb pages. I did so yesterday.
Now, suddenly today when I try to open the media as usual I get a message that tells me to open iphoto 2 or Aperture 1.5 to be able to access my photos. When I check for updates of iphoto I get the message that I have the latest version, so I am really confused.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what do you suggest?
Thanks
Vivienne

Vivienne...
Problems with the iWeb Media Browser are commonly reported. Many people resort to dragging photos directly from iPhoto instead of using the Media Browser.
To see if your problem has an easy fix, do a Spotlight search for the iPhoto preference file called "com.apple.iPhoto.plist". When you find it, drag it to the trash and delete it. Also do a search for "com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.plist". If this file exists on your Mac, drag it to the trash and delete it also. Restart your Mac for good measure. Then open up iWeb and see if the Media Browser is back to normal.
