Video playback and other issues

This might be a 10.6.4 issue or it could be hardware, I'm not sure.
*First Issue:*
Oftentimes, when I try to play video on my Macbook (stats included) the video hangs up and the audio skips like a bad record (remember records? ). This problem is particularly bad when playing videos from the internet but it persists even when the streaming bar is fully loaded in the browser. I took an online masters course this summer and constantly had this skipping issue so I thought it was Adobe and Apple not playing nice since their videos were Flash based. Now, I can see that the problem also occurs when trying to play Quicktime videos. I made an iweb site with a few videos and my Macbook can't seem to play them. However, when I go over to my Mac Mini it has no issues and it has the same processor in it and less RAM.
I know what your thinking; 'check the activity monitor.' I do check the activity monitor, constantly. When this problem occurs I'm never using more than 50% CPU and I usually have at least 1 GB of RAM available although the problem has manifested itself with a much as 2 GB of RAM available and minimal CPU usage.
This issue is starting to get worse and I've had a few kernal panics lately, which may or may not be related.
At the beginning of the summer I reinstalled the system from scratch to see if that would solve the issue; no such luck.
I thought is was the RAM so I tested it with Techtool Deluxe. No problems found with the RAM.
Now, this issue might be related to the second issue but I'll let you decide.
*Second Issue:*
This issue has been around for a long time and I've largely ignored it since all the forums I've been on don't know what to do/can't pin it down.
The issue is that the fan runs constantly at a high RPM no matter what I do.
Again, I check the Activity monitor consistently and I have it set so I can view "All Processes." No 'memory hogs' running.
I also have smsFanControl running and set for 1800 as the min speed.
Furthermore, my wife has the same model computer (only manufactured later) and hers runs whisper quiet while mine sounds like a wind tunnel.
In fact, as I type this I have 1.29 GB of RAM free, 97% of my processor is idle and I'm running at 65C with a fan speed of 6200 RPM.
Any thoughts on either of these two issues would be a help. Thanks

DaddyPaycheck thanks for the info. I am have 7 GB of RAM and my internet access is through cable. I never had this problem before with an older computer with the same internet connection. I am not sure what to do. I recently upgraded to the 30" monitor and a new video card. I purcheased another video card, the ATI Radeon X800XT, but I haven't installed it yet. I am not sure that this will fix my problem. I have all the latest updates for Quicktime and Windows media player. I actually does it when I am playing DVD's as well.

IOS 4.2.1: Intermittent Playback and Static Issue Resolution - JVC KD-AVX77

Hey guys, it appears that iOS 4.2.1 fixes the issue with the intermittent playback and static issues that I was having in my car. I just played two songs continuously with no issues.
I have the JVC KD-AVX77, and with iOS 4.1, I was having nothing but problems with music playback. It had got to the point that it was intolerable to use my iPhone in my car.
I am extremely pleased that it seems like Apple took everyone's feedback about this issue, and came up with a fix to it. Too bad that I've already stored my car for the winter.
Please post your own findings. I know this issue was across multiple head units and car manufacturers.

Same problem here. I have a 3gs and this intermitent static/hiss/lag happens when i connect through the usb on my toyota prius. This problem did not happen before the latest software upgrade. I have switched out the cables. Also tested on an ipod touch without the software upgrade and had no problem. It's a crazy annoying problem! Sounds a bit like listening to vinyl. I have also tried switching to airplane mode, but that didn't do anything. I have also reset the iphone while connected to the usb (the same way i frequently have to because of an earlier problem i've had with the usb failing to work in the car at all...) and that has not fixed it. I'm going to try connecting via bluetooth today and see what happens - i'm guessing that will be fine, but i don't like to listen via bluetooth.

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints
I have been scratching my head as to how to fix my problem and I found some answers and some questions along the way. First of all, I have a video that should be correctly formatted for my iPod. Its specs are:

Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Size: 35.4 MB

C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
#1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
#2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
#3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
#4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
#5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
#6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
#7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bond, James

Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Photoshop choppy 422 Video playback and export

In CS6, When editing Pro Res 422, Video with single layer plays back fine but with 3 layers playback and export are very choppy.
I tried merging layers but the video doesn't playback at all. Is there any other settings I could try?
CS6 memory usage is 100%, sound is turned of in TL. System MacPro -Quad Core Intel Xeon-Processor Speed 3 GHz, Memory 8GB.
Please help.

Thanks Curt.
I usually edit w FCP7. And My computer never had playback issues w 422 Pro Res files.
CS6 Memory was before on +- 55% and even the single layer video was playing back choppy. So I changed it to 100% not realy knowing what that means. At least the single layer video is playing now fine.

Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

Hi all,
This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact. I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
Part Description                                           Symptom
IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change

ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
Windows 8.1
SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
Build 9600
I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
Log Information,
Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm
You have not done a hardware test on your computer
And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
Then, I ran hardware scan again...
Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
64 of them are the disk error.
341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
16 are application errors
One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
14 for services terminating unexpectedly

HP Spectre x360 13-4002dx active pen and other issues

Hi, I'm havng issues with my active pen, but wasn't sure if it's an issue with my laptop or stylus (or if it's a software/driver issue). Is there an easy way to tell?Also, I've been using my laptop for a month now, and recently have had other issues, listed below. I wrote them down below in case that could provide some information, and/or if those issues are something I should be concerned about and should try to fix. To begin with, after doing some research, I bought a Synaptic active stylus (the Dell one), which worked very well for the first two weeks until last week. All of a sudden, it started to respond very awkward and randomly, sometimes it's too sensitive and draw lines even when the pen was off the screen, and sometimes it didn't draw anything at all even though I see the small circle following my pen tip. I initially thought it was due to low battery, but it's the same issue after I replaced the battery. Right now, the laptop doesn't respond to pen touching the screen (no clicks, no writings), although the pointer follows the pen. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? How do I know if it's the pen that is faulty or if it's the laptop? Other issues I had or am having:1. Today, I had a BAD_POOL_HEADER error and blue screen of death. After reboot, everything seems to still work, but the login is now much slower. It's very fast to reach to the login screen, but it takes 2-3 minutes to bring up the desktop and other startup applications after I enter my password (I think it used to take less than 10 seconds). I tried rebooting 2-3 times, and it was always the same. 2. The laptop seems to gain heat very easily. With moderate workload (example, some websites with flash advertisements or videos), it can easily go above 70 degrees Celsius on either core (according to CPUID HWMonitor). One time, the system actually failed and forced hibernated due to overheating. (To me, the screen went blank all of a sudden. I turn the laptop back on, and the screen printed a message for a while saying it forced shutdown due to overheating. I realized it was hibernation after I logged in since I see all my windows) 3. On the second day of use of this laptop, the laptop just shutdown for no good reason, and then couldn't boot, saying it cannot find boot image or something like that. I looked up the web and found that it could be a BIOS issue. It said to try reseting the BIOS setting, and then it worked. I also upgraded the BIOS image to the latest after this incident. 4. This is probably more a router issue, but I initially had problems connecting wireless to my router. It was solved after changing my router. For those who are interested, the details is as the following: my old router supported up to 802.11n , but not 802.11ac, That shouldn't matter, but all wireless connections get disconnected once in every several hours if my HP Spectre x360 is trying to use the wireless. However the wired connections stayed ok when this happens, so the router is only "partially" killed. The fact that all wireless connections are getting killed seemed to me that the router didn't like something from my HP laptop. To be fair, I didn't try not using my HP laptop to see if the issue goes away, so it could be a coincidence that the router started to go faulty at the same time I bought and used my HP laptop. Anyways, it seemed it's a router issue, so after replacing the router. the issue went away. Thanks.

Will investigate and let you know what I can find out.

Video playback and Album covers in Cover album flow mode are a mess

After installing iTunes 7.02 the cover albums come through on albums with song group list, but in the Cover Flow mode where you browse through the album covers, the covers are made up of verticle and horizontal lines and nothing can be made out. Even the bar at the bottom that allows you to drag and flip through the covers has a hashed line look.
The video playback images are also messed up. basically I can see that there is an image moving but it's not interpretable. The sound comes through fine. The image basically looks like a whole bunch of little squares that are not aligned right.
Any suggestions

with those symptoms, we'd better check through the suggestions from the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows video playback perfomance issues

Transitions and other issues

Hi all,
I am a recent convert ... trying to say goodbuy to my windows box.
In the windows world, I'm a Sony Vegas user ... great product. Its easy to use, give the ability to use multiple audio and video tracks, and so on.
As my new mac is a MacBook Pro, I haven't really been able to play with anything except iMovie ... waiting for universal versions of Final Cut Express (or maybe final cut pro).
So far, I am more than underwhelmed. Its clunky, and not at all an easy program to use if you want some sort of control over how your clips are placed. Just try and edit the last clip in a couple minute video .... ****.
Transitions suck.
#1 ... Vegas is very intuitive ... if you have two files and you drag one over the other, it creates a "crossover fade" automatically. Doing this in iMovie results in one of the two clips being shortened (same complaint I have with GarageBand).
#2 Then, when you have a bunch of clips put together, you have to drag each transition in between each clip ... not a bit deal, but if you make a mistake, and try to edit the transitions down the road, the timing gets all out of whack, and you end up with transisitions happening where there not supposed to, and no transitions where there should be one.
So ya ... TRANSITIONS SUCK.
Then, try sharing your creation with the vast majority of the computer world (sorry, but that means windows media, or something windows media can play easily without plugins).
Being a MacBook Pro owner, I feel even more handicaped than your average convert, because there is even less software. Flip4Mac would be great .. but no universal binary.
Anyway, I'm not really looking for answers (unless you have them) because I think its just a design flaw in iMovie, and I probably need to be using one of the more "pro" apps to do what I want, I'm just complaining.
Hope your experience is better than mine.
Blue

#2 Then, when you have a bunch of clips put together, you have to drag each
transition in between each clip ...
There are many user interface features in iMovie that are pretty well hidden. Being able to apply a transition to multiple clips is one of them.
Just select two clips, five clips or whatever, configure the Transition you want, then press the Add button. It's added to all the clips.
If you want to change all those to a different Transition, select the same clips/transitions, configure the transition you want, and press the Update button.
There are lots of editing tasks can be applied to a fistful of clips, not just one at a time.
if you make a mistake, and try to edit the transitions down the road, the
timing gets all out of whack,
Some transitions behave differently than others, as they must for they do different things. Some borrow frames from a clip, some don't. When timing is important, planning ahead is necessary. Yes, changing a transition type later can cause timing issues.
Just remember that if a change doesn't work, you can always revert the clip(s) to their original length, set them to the length you want, then add a different transition. That's the advantages of iMovie's non-destructive editing.
Viewing the iMovie Tutorial can help discover how these things work.

Slow motion, reverse playback and others

Dear members:
After doing some research that included help files for Final Cut Express HD and Apple's support pages I haven't been able to find a straight and definited answer to my question.
I am trying to find ways to add slow motion, reverse playback and fast playback effects to my sequences in Final Cut Express HD but haven't found a way to do it. Some pages I found seem to indicate that these functions may not be available in Final Cut Express HD but they are not specific enough. I honestly can't believe that an application that is meant to provide professional results wouldn't offer these which are probably some of the most used effects in video.
Do any of you know if and how these effects can be used with Final Cut Express HD ?
In case it can't handle these effects, how much would an upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD cost if I am coming from Final Cut Express HD ? Is there an (reasonable) upgrade path ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

I'm sure you can do this w/ FC3xpress - although I haven't used that app in years- but you can try this:
-Select the clip you want to add the 3ffect to then press Apple-J
-That should bring up the menu where you can determine the new speed percentage.
-If it doesn't have the Reverse checkmark option (I don't think it did in earlier versions) you can do a negative percentage to make the clip play in reverse.
Also it looks like there is no way to upgrade from Final Cut 3xpress to Final Cut Studio
You can upgrade from a few apps but Express isn't included in that list.
The list is here if you'd like to see for yourself.

And if you click the buy you have the option to buy the upgrade (intead of the crossgrade)

PLEASE Help. Green Screen in Video Playback and all Video Files.

Hello to who ever can help a hand out. I feel very stressed by this whole problem. I have a documentary movie that has been finished and edited. I only had to add a couple more parts to it to finalize the film. However when i went on my computer today, (last time being last week. Where everything had worked properly) all the video playback is green. it has audio of all the video files, but the video shows up green in the playback and the viewer. Any idea what could have happened. (last week i added a 5 jpegs thats it!)
Please anybody with any suggestions, I would be very greateful.

Lots of folks with similar problems. Do your clips play ok in Quicktime Player ? have you done any updates lately.

Twist charm swipes not working and other issues

Hi all,
I just got a new Twist a few days ago and am having some issues with it. I got it on line from Staples who have a very limited return policy so I need to get these problems resolved quickly or will have to return it in a few days. I really like it a lot and would hate to return it and deal with the replacement, double charge on my CC until they get the defective Twist and refund the bucks, not to mention the shipping hassles.
I've installed all updates including the Lenovo updates, updated the Bios, did a factory refresh and went through the update process all over again and also calibrated the screen.
So the problems I'm seeing are the swipes from top to close an app, left to view open apps, and right for the charms will intermittently stop working but you can still tap on apps to open them and slide the app screen left \ right.
The other issue is that occasionally the app screen will shrink and expand or open an app without being touched, I would have it on a stand in tablet mode and watch it expand \ contract, and suddenly bring up an app like Remote Desktop. I contacted Lenovo support they said it was a hardware issue and recommended returning it but I'm reluctant to do this and hope there's a solution for it.
I did notice was that moving to portrait mode would usually work to bring back the swipe functionality. Digging into it a bit more, I think I found the root cause, when it is in tablet mode with the keyboard folded back, the keyboard isn’t getting fully disabled, watching it closely I noticed that a cursor would sometimes appear \ disappear momentarily.
Any thoughts or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

okay, let's make really sure it is the entire iTunes folder. a typical one looks like this on the inside
the red arrow points to the heart of your iTunes library - the iTunes library file, the iTunes database. you will want to treat this file as the apple of your eye !
anyhoo, if indeed the entire iTunes folder is on the external, simply drag it from there to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new Mac.
since a folder by the same name is already in that location, the finder will tell you so and ask you if you want to "replace it with the one you're moving". confirm that you want that.
when the copying has finished, fire up iTunes and you should be taken to the exact same library you were used to from your old Mac.
finally, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and check that +iTunes media folder location+ is set correctly - it should point to the iTunes folder on your new Mac's startup disk. if it doesn't, change it accordingly.
please post back with results !

C309g (CD055A) no black and other issues..

Hey all.. Not sure which thing to post about first, so in random order, here goes....
I bought a used printer listed above in the subject.. It needed a new power supply, and ink, but seemed to be great. I purchased the regular size cartridges except the black which they had in XL size. I printed a total of 3 test pages (set up on three computers), I printed one 8x11 photo via bluetooth from my phone, and my wife printed 2 8x11 photo's from her PC. All 3 8x11's were on regular paper. Oh, and we printed one of the dots built-in pages.. So if you're counting (and I KNOW I am), that is a total of 7 pages. Additionally there may have been one demo page (possibly a total of 8 pages, then!), can't remember if I did that demo page on the previous owners ink or if I did one on the new ink I bought (previous ink was old/empty). Oh, and technically there was an alignment page, so final total 9 pages. After those nine pages, my magenta and yellow ink were both down to around 65-75 percent. It sat a week without use (literally, 7 days). Today I went to print some regular text (black only) and it shot out at me blank pages. I tried a few more times, and nothing but blank pages. Tired of running back and forth, I printed a built-in "school paper" page or wide ruled paper (heh, how cool in a pinch is THAT feature!). It printed perfectly - Course it's blue and magenta, no black..
So it's been awhile since I used inkjet, but I quickly rememberd the handy utility to clear/clean printheads. Ran that. It failed, assumedly for missing black (it had the gray'ish photo black, but not 'black' anywhere on the sheet. After the cleaning failed, I removed the black, and all the colors. Seems to be black in there (as should be!) I dabbed the bottom with a paper towel gently, it turned black... So I put it in, and it whirred away doing it's thing to re-align, and then it told me the shocking news that my printer was low on ink, and showed all levels to be well, I suppose about 10-15 percent remaining (think SMALL skinny lines). Now I know this is an estimate, but I'm concerned from the get-go that after only 9 pages it was down to 65%!!
Before I found the forums, I found a site that recommended removing the ink cartridges, and removing the print head itself and soaking the bottom portion (up to the wire meshes, slightly covering them, but not the entire thing) for awhile in IPA (isopropal alcohol) and then dipping them in fresh a fresh batch to 'rinse' then gently hitting them with compressed air via air compressor (or canned air, I suppose, have an air compressor) to remove any debris and get the remaining alcohol off/out. I then let it sit several hours to 'dry', which - it was probably ready immediately given the properties of IPA, but didn't want to chance it.. Re-inserted it and the ink, and..... SAME THING.
All the ink is official HP ink (since I'm sure that q is coming), was purchased from a big box retailer who ya all know and love or hate (no need to name drop).. I'm wondering if...
1. My ink, though coming out onto the paper towels could be bad/defective. Given the really fast drop in the levels of ink, and the issue with black not seeming to print, seems possible?
2. Should I try the boiling the print head - err not boiling it, but sticking it in recentyl boiled water, and give that a try? The guide that was posted here somewhere showed doing that, with IPA added to the water as an option. Is it possible the IPA didn't break up whatever gunk might be blocking the black, that boiled water might break up? Does that make sense, or would the IPA have broken it down?
How do these print heads work exactly, or is that the big company secret? I mean, is there a tube that goes for the inlet of black to the gold area underneath, cuz it's not directly under the gold like old fashioned cartridges used to be.. Is there any way to open up or access that area like, under the metal screens to get in there with a pipecleaner or something maybe, or something?
And, for bonus points (lol) Why does HP assign two names to their printers?? IE C309g (CD055A), If my printer is the C309g, why is it ALSO the CD055A?? SO confusing and un-necessary..
Thanks for your time and patience

I've had a similar problem with black not printing, though my printer is a B8550. I bought new and have used it fairly lightly I'd say, but after only a couple of years it suddenly stopped printing the photo black (it has separate cartridges for black for photos and black for text, etc.).
It prints on regular printer paper just fine using the other black--but not a drop prints of the Photo Black (yes, it's full). Since I've cleaned the print head, and even bought a new one, and a diagnostic print shows absolutely no trace of the photo black, I'm fairly sure the printer itself is at fault. It's sold as a 'Photosmart' printer, meaning it's intended to use to print photos--large format too--so without photo black it is a huge brick as far as I'm concerned.
I've begun to notice from these forum posts that there is an issue with HP and black ink, or at least whatever controls black for photo papers in their inkjet printers. If I'm not mistaken both yours and mine use the 564 cartridges, so maybe that suggests a common factor in such printers that is the culprit. I suspect HP knows there is a problem, either with the hardware or firmware, and I wish they would do right by us.

RV042G Log Email and other issues

The RV042G manual said to use this site for support so here goes. After owning and operating the RV082 for many years, I recently upgraded to the RV042G V01. Overall the RV042G hardware appears to function pretty good. The RV042G has faster throughput, but it is slightly slower in command/control response and boot than the RV082. I have now owned the RV042G about two days and have found a number of issues. Specifically, emailing logs doesn't work.
- Emailing logs does not work. RV042G does not appear to handle any type of connection authentication, it does not have a place for the senders user name or password. I have tried SMTP servers that require no authentication and ones that do, none of them work. RV082 worked fine with the Time Warner Cable (TWC) SMTP server, RV042G does not. Additionally, there is NO output in the logs to show a failure. So TWO bugs here. I have checked settings to ensure no blocking rules, have rebooted, and even did a factory default with no luck and absolutely no mention in the logs anywhere of failure to send.
Email is my primary issue, any suggestions on getting this working would be appreciated. I've also identified a number of other issues as well and included them here to avoid multiple posts. These are:
- Port 0 apparently responds to interrogation and shows CLOSED (not STEALTH per grc.com). This was NOT the case for the RV082 and is a potential security vulnerability as it cannot be redirected.
- Port 1 is CLOSED and apparently responds to interrogation. This was NOT the case for the RV082. Normally I would be good on the RV082. I could redirect any OPEN or CLOSED ports to the bit bucket (192.168.1.254 for instance). BUT, the RV042G Port Forwarding is NOT sending things to the bit bucket and instead decides to OVERRIDE the forwarding and respond to queries. So there are TWO bugs here. This is a potential security vulnerability.
- The ALL Logs tab shows nothing, but sub tabs do until AFTER you hit the clear button, then it works as expected. This happens every time you open the logs. Another poster identified this problem so this is confirmation of that issue. Also, once the dialog box for the log has closed, it will not open again until leaving the page and returning.
- Authentication failures will show up in the System Log but not in the Access Log?
- HTTPS html interface works fine in Firefox. However, turn it off and use just HTTP and there is a problem. Can't see the forms and buttons, can only see the background image. This isn't as much of a problem as I can just use HTTPS, however, with the RV082 when HTTPS was activated it would open the remote management portal regardless of whether the button was clicked or not. So really a non-issue but a bug none the less.
- RV082 could send 500 log events, RV042 can only send 100. Again, not a bug but a reduction in capability over the older RV082.
One last thing, your hardware version control numbers and firmware download page are confusing for the RV042G V01. Found this when I checked if there was a newer version of the firmware than what the RV042G shipped with. Here is what the firmware update page shows:
"Cisco RV042G Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router"
"Firmware Release 4.2.1.02 - RV042, RV082, RV016 firmware 4.2.1.02-tm (V3 hardware required)".
The problem is that you reset the hardware version in the RV042G (V01). Just seems probable that someone will download the firmware for the RV042 V01 and try to put it on the RV042G V01.
I like the RV042G overall and will wait for updates for these issues (email logs would be nice sooner rather than later as this is an advertised feature). The RV082 was a great router for a long time ONCE most of the bugs were fixed, hoping the RV042G will be the same.

Guess I spoke too soon. If Remote Management = Disable and HTTPS = Enable, it will OPEN external access to port 443. So have to use an access rule to kill it off. Can STEALTH Port 1 as well with an access rule but have to block all traffic there. Cannot block Port 0 (make it STEALTH) with an access rule and this needs to be fixed in firmware.
So port forwarding does work but not when sent to the bit bucket, have to use an Access Rule instead. (You can see this by doing the following: turn off HTTPS and remote management and look at port 443 from the outside of the firewall. No response at all. Now enable HTTPS and keep Remote Management disabled and forward port 443 to an unused internal IP address. The port still shows up as OPEN but won't connect. Again, the RV082 did not exhibit this behavoir and would simply not provide any response to an external query if forwarded to an unused internal IP address.)
For clarity, I have the RV042G V01 with Firmware Version : v4.2.1.02 (Jan 18 2012 14:10:55).
