Want To Use FCP Icon But Get Weird Surrounding "Stripes"?

I wish to use an FCP icon I have got from the FCP Contents folder.
However, when saved as a TIFF or PSD file I get these weird surrounding marks.
If I save it as a JPEG I get a whitish background but I really want to have the icon with a transparent background so just the icon will appear superimposed over the video.
I have got Photoshop but have not yet found a way to easily get rid of the icon's background.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Studio X.
I modified your instructions! I copied the original icon as a JPEG and used the Magic Eraser tool. I then copied that as a TIFF with Transparency and got this result when superimposed over a background.
Not perfect but a far sight better than I could do by hand!

  • Don't want to use new Numbers, but 'get info' fix doesn't work

    Hi All,
    I made the mistake of installing the new Numbers a month or two ago. I don't want to use the new Numbers because I need to work on the same documents on older machines that won't work with the new Numbers. On my machines with both versions of Numbers, I want to be able to just double-click on the documents and open with the older version. The usual fix is to use get info on a document, select the app I want to use for this type of document and then hit 'change all' for that type of doc. Well that's the theory at least. I've found that this setting doesn't stick in this case. (I've never seen this not work).  It still opens with the new Numbers.
    I've tried removing Numbers, but Software Update keeps nagging that there is an update available jfor Numbers, and wants to reinstall it. They 'dumbed down' Software Update so that you can't remove updates you don't want to be bothered by. (I hate it that Apple continually removes features, then adds them back in a year or two!) So I'm stuck.
    Any one else have this happen? Any fixes?
    Thanks!

    Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. The Mac OS will always default to the newest installed version & has for as long as I can remember. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
    This is what worked for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "Applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.
    Since the last update I've used the solution Peter Breis posted (4th post in that thread) in iWork Tips 'n' Tricks with a little "tweak."
    Making Numbers '09 the default whilst keeping Pages 5
    1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder (I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13)
    2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
    2) Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
    3) Select any Numbers file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
    4) Re the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
    Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
    IMPORTANT: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.  If it says incomplete you won't be able to access the backup.

  • I have OS X, vers. 10.6.8.  I want to use the icloud, but I don't want to get Mountain Lion.  Can Ido this?

    I have OSX, vers. 10.5.8.  I want to use the Cloud, but I don't want Mountain Lion.  Can I do that?

    You cannot access iCloud with 10.6.8. If your computer supports it you could upgrade to Lion - you can obtain it by ringing the online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page. The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    If you don't want Mountain Lion you probably won't want Lion either (of the two Mountain Lion is probably preferable) but it's either that, or stick with 10.6.8 and no iCloud.

    iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
    If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.

  • Want to use I cloud but can't open primary email address for verification process

    Hi there, it's my first time to join the Apple community eventhough I have used Ipad for about two years I guess, n have loved it since then.
    Well, I have problem, I want to use I cloud, but I can't  as I have to give verification first by following the instruction from Apple which has been sent to my primary email address. The problem is, I have been unable to open my primary email address because I seldom use it. I use my rescue email address for all my email communication, instead. My question is: Is there any email address of the support staff  because I want the staff to send the instruction for my verification through my rescue email address?
    I have looked up the support page, though, and submitted question which I thought it was the best solution: I want to change my primary email address ( to the rescuer email address) but I was refered to the page " expresslane" which should have been the most convenient way, because all I had to do was just call n talk to the support staff. However, since I don't live in the US, but in a foreign country, talking on the phone is not convenient for me.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me with this because I can't wait to use I Cloud. Thank you.
    All the best,
    Suzy
    PS: sorry, I didn't fill out the operating system information n other details because I don't remember it n didn't try to check it out as I was afraid I might lose this message n have to retype all over again.

    Suzy this usually means your apple id primary email address was not verified when you setup your apple id. What you will want to do is go to appleid.apple.com and try and log in under manage your apple id, if it tells you its sent a verification email you can change that email to something else by clicking edit (this cant be your rescue email though) once done a new email should be sent that you can verify and then use icloud. Hope this helps

    Photoshop elements quit working, I uninstalled it, tried to re-install using the cd, but getting error, any other way to re-install it without the disk ?

    Yes.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
    When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
    Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

  • HT204380 I recently got my wife an Ipad2 and I have my own so 2 on one appleID.  Both use Wi-fi.  I will be traveling a bit and want to use Face time but I can not seem to get a connection between these two pads.  Can Anyone help?

    OK my family now has (2) Ipad2.  Mine and my wifes.  We do NOT want a second apple account but we want to use facetime.  Both pads will ring like it is making a call but the other pad will not recieve the call.
    I'm sure I'm not the only person with one account and two apple products.  Can someone please let me know how to get these to ipads talking to one another so that while we are traveling we can utilize facetime?
    Summary 2 Ipads both able to call out on face time but I cant seem to set up a call between them?

    No you do not need two Apple ID's. This is what I did on my iPod Touch and my iPad using my one and only Apple ID.
    I used my Apple ID which is my main email address associated with my ID as the email address that I can be reached on the iPad so essentially all I did on the iPad was turn FaceTime on in the settings and let that email address be verified for FaceTime on the iPad.
    On the iPod Touch I turned on FaceTime in the settings and then under - You can be reached for video calls at - I added another email address that I have with AOL. Then I went to the inbox of that AOL email address and there was an email from Apple with a link that I tapped on to finish the verification process. I can't recall exactly what it said, but it was very easy to follow the instructions to verify the address.
    Then I went back to the FaceTime settings on the Touch and removed my Apple ID email address from - You can be reached for videos calls at ... You have to remove this email address so that you do not end up calling yourself. FaceTime will always revert to the first email address in the settings so that is why you have to remove the Apple ID email address in the one device.

  • Want to use NO data, but Wifi?

    Hi, new owner of the Curve 9300/3G, running OS 6. 
    I am currently on a voice/text plan, but have Data available (although I will get charged ridiculously on it).
    So I want to use NO data, by all means. But I want to use Wifi when I'm at home.
    I've read online that Wifi won't work if Data Services are off. Okay, so if I turn Data services ON, I can successfully use Wifi (facebook, email, youtube, etc.). Good. But now, when I take my phone outside, is it going to update my facebook, youtube, email, other apps, etc. by Data/3G? --> This is what I don't want, and what I am afraid of. This is why I haven't even begun using Wifi yet, because of the fear of the Data kicking in to update my apps while I am not on Wifi.
    So, is there any way to keep data/3G off for good, and have no data charges? Is the only solution to not use wifi at all, and strictly use the phone for calling/texting?
    Thanks!!

    Ok so I think I found the solution..tell me if this is correct:
    When I want to use WIFI, I just enable Data services, and use my WIFI.
    When I'm outside without WIFI, I just have to set Data services to OFF before I leave, so that it doesn't update any apps for me while I'm on the go.
    Is this correct? Thanks.
    Yes this is correct, you'll have to turn off your data services before leaving the house or your facebook, email, msn ect will still update.

  • I want to use master password but sites I had previously said not save passwords are not listed in the security section of tools/options. What do I do?

    I was not using the master password provision but have decided to. There are a number of sited where I told Firefox not to save the password. I have since changed my mind and want to use the master password. There are no sites listed as exceptions in the options/tools/remember passwords for sites/exceptions.
    How do I get Firefox to remember passwords for sites I had previously to it not to remember?

    If it is not in the exceptions list you should be able to go to that site again and type in password and it will ask you if you want to save it.
