Watch bands are too short.

What solution does Apple offer to those of us who need watch bands longer than 215mm?
Can extra links for the link band be purchased?
Can the Link band actually be extended past the length of 215mm? (I ask because I know that the links progressively get narrower along the length of the band).
Are there any Apple employees around that have done their training and can answer the above?

This is a user to user technical support forum. If any Apple employees ARE here, they would be unable to provide you with any information other than what Apple has already make public on their website. I'm sure there will be plenty 3rd party accessories for the watch, including bands. Meantime, you'll just have to wait and see.
Best,

Apple Watch band is too short for me

I've checked out size of band for Apple Watch and all of these model are too short for me. Even Classic Buckle that is the longest type of band in all family is still not fit. My wrist size is 230mm. Feel so sad...... Hope Apple will made longer band size in the next gen.

Let me try this again. (This is for a stainless 38).
I saw the specs on the band. I tried to use a tape measure to determine if it would fit, and I should have had help as that is hard to do alone. But is seemed alright, and I ordered the watch.
I am a watch junkie. I have never had a problem like this. You come to expect a certain "standard" when you buy a watch, and ALL of my watches have a longer
strap, and I guess (Shame on me) I assumed so would the Apple Watch.
The band fits, so to speak, but the part that is left after you pass it though the buckle, is not long enough, and the band keeper-loop thingey does not have enough band to keep it in place. Therefore you are constantly having to slide the loop back over it to keep it in place.
I could send it back, but you might imagine how I feel about that. I made sure I got mine on the 24th because I stayed up and ordered it right after midnight on the 10th. I really wanted the watch.

Compressor is exporting clips that are too short in duration

Hi,
I am sending clips via FCP 7 into Compressor 3.5.
The problem is that the outputted clips are too short in duration.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I need to fix it quick!
Thanks,
Phil.

Hi, welcome to the forums.
It might be possible that you have set an IN and/or OUT point somewhere.
Double check and make sure that in FCP or Compressor Preview window you
do not have IN/OUT set on a selection of clips.

Published pages are too short

I have set the "content height" to 3000px and it looks fine in iweb but when I publish them they are too short and are cutting off content. I'm using the photo page. If you want to check it out it's www.donnae.ca and one of the cut off pages is sculpturally functional/ misc vases & bowls. I have tried it on other machines... I've cleaned out caches ... help!

Thanks, I tried that and it didn't help. I even tried putting text at the end and it's still ending in the middle of the page.

Long files are too short

I'v met this problem a few times...
I'm working on a DVD authoring.
The film is 1hour40min long.
The audiofiles I got from the 5.1 mixing studio came chopped as 6 acts (for the cinema release) so each file is aprox 17 min each. Now I need to bring all these files into Logic to merge the acts into continuous clips.
Each file for each act begins with a reference tone and silence, and they overlap, so the last seconds of act 1 are also the begining of act 2, aso. So you understand I need to have a reference to sync these to.
So, I have the stereo file, which is one continuous file, covering the whole movie... it is 1 hour 40 min long.
When I load this file onto the arrange window it shows as an audiofile only 1 beat long! But there is no problem listening to the file... I hit play, and it plays the whole file, but however I tug, pull, try to expand the file to its actual length, it will only be 1 beat long, visually.
Why is this?
I need to zoom in so I can sync the 5.1 tracks both visually and audioally.

Hi Per,
Well, it wasn't so simple really... "Bug" wasn't my first thought. Actually, I thought I was doing something wrong, and it took a while to figure out that "it wasn't me, it was the program".
Out of sheer desperation I created the shorter region as I described (desperation is the mother of invention).
When it came to working on cues for the back half of the movie, I had to repeat this operation and make a region out of the back end. That's where things got tricky.
I would suggest that you take the following steps and see if this works for you:
1. Add the audio file to the arrange window (let's say it's called "QT Audio")
2. Click on an empty area of the Arrange window and open the Event Editor
3. Look for the item called "QT Audio", double click on the position value, type 1 0 0 0, Enter.
4. Open your movie, set your SMPTE start time and check sync (for this example, let's say that your time code starts at 01:00:00:00.00
5. Open the Audio Window for "QT Audio"
6. View = SMPTE
7. This step is very important: Look at your cue sheet and pick a point that's about 1/2 way through the movie where there is no music. This will be where you divide the audio file. Let's say that point is at 32 minutes.
8. Select a region that starts from the beginning and ends at 32 minutes, i.e., 01:32:00:00
8. Save that region as an audio file (call it "QT first half")
9. Now, use the Toggle Selection function to select everything from 01:32:00:00 to the end (call it "QT second half")
10. Save that region as another audio file
Now you have two smaller audio files that should display OK in the Arrange Window (unless the breakpoint is 32 minutes!). And if you start a new sequence/song for the cues after 32 minutes you have a 2nd-half audio file that starts at a known point.

Conversions in Adobe Media Converter are too short

I've been trying to convert dvd videos to wmv's. Every video I try only shows that it's length is under 10 seconds, even though each video is from 5 to 10 minutes long. Why is it only converting 10 seconds of a 5 minute video?

Please tell us more about the source content. Are they from your own project? Did you rip them from a DVD?
Are you importing the DVD videos directly into AME, or are they in Premiere sequences that you're exporting to AME? If the former, have you tried opening the clips in PPRO to see whether that app sees their full length? If the latter, do you have a work area defined?
Also, what version of AME do you have, and are you working on Windows or Mac?

Stills imported are too short

My understanding is that stills are usually imported into iMovie at a length of 5 seconds, but mine are all coming in at 3 seconds or less - I have tried to figure this out but is there any way to set the duration of imported stills back to 4 or 5 seconds?
thanks in advance for any help.
also I am not working on my laptop, but a friend's G4 Tower - lots more storage space left on that.

Hi cmp31 - stills are imported at the duration last set in the photos pane. Thus to change this, import one photo, and change its duration to the length you want all of the rest to be. Then import the others.

Why don't third party lightning cables work? Apples are too short

Why since updating my iPhone 5 to IOS7 do none of my lightning cables work. I dismissed the message that came up and had it on charge over night but nothing. This is ridiculous, how can Apple do this to their customers, if they actually made longer charging cables and at a reasonable price people wouldn't have to buy thrid party party. I don't think my Apple cable is even working either.

If the third-party cable is MFi (Made for iPhone) approved, it should work.
Apple now sells longer cables.
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD819ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-2-m>
Belkin has an even longer one.
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/HB560ZM/A/belkin-21-amp-lightning-to-usb-charg esync-cable>
It's being sold by Apple, so is probably MFI approved. Its Lightning connector may not fit some caews, though.

Can't connect to wifi password too short

Two of my local cafes have free wifi but their passwords are too short.
I enter their passwords correctly but he join button stays greyed out.
Is there a work around or not.
Answers like hey get them to upgrade their security aren't helpful.

Have you asked them?
What is the key the gave you?
If you have a Windows 8, 7, Vista or Mac laptop you can also use the free inSSIDer utility to tell you the encryption type.

Multiple 30" Cinema Displays, cable length too short

I have two 23" Cinema Displays, and they work great! Power adapters have long clean leads and can put them away from my G5 and place the displays where I want. Then I bought a 30" Cinema Display to try in prep for a "Nehalem" machine. I discovered that the power adapter has to be 6 inches away from the back of the computer and the monitor cable is SHORT. I want to use two 30" displays, but the cables are too SHORT and I don't want those two white bricks (power adapters) behind a new Nehalem. Apple says you can run up to eight 30" displays, with the necessary video cards, but no mention how to reach the second display let alone the 8th display!! Does Apple have cables in a male-female configuration? I have looked at Gefen.com and their extensions are Male-Male for the Apple Combo Extension Cables for dual link (30"). I could say demeaning things right now, but I won't.

Thank you for the quick reply, I can place the power adapter where I want with your solution. You would have posted if you knew about an extension with an "elegant breakout for connection to DVI, USB and FireWire ports" but I will still ask if you know of that kind also so that all monitors have USB and FireWire.

Apple Watch band too small

I asked the Apple chat people if the Tim Cook Genius Division was working on a solution that will allow those of us that don't fit Apple's idea of who should buy and wear their Apple Watch, a way to wear the watch rather than put it in our pocket with our iPhone. They told me that there are no plans at this time to customize the Watch. I explained that I don't want to customize it I would just like to be able to wear it as it is marketed, on my wrist. They told me that in essence that would be customizing it. I am hoping that someone will realize that it would be very easy to make a Milanese Loop band longer or any of the bands for that matter. Why frustrate their public and lose sales. It doesn't make sense. I guess we can duct tape them on our wrist until young enthusiastic entrepreneurs start marketing bands that fit us. Now that will be customizing.

I visited the Apple Store today for my 15 minute try-on session. Was very disappointed that every single band that I tried on did not fit. I could not get my hand through the Milanese loop, the Black Leather band was too small by two holes and the Black magnetic link band actually fit but as soon as I started to bend my wrist, the band got looser and looser and then would just open and fall off. Under normal all-day wear, I would surely loose the watch with this band because it does not loop around enough for my wrist.
What a shame that they are not making bands for people with larger wrists bones, fat wrists, skinny wrists, whatever! They should accommodate all size people even if they only have those specialized sizes in very limited quantities. If I have to wait 2-3 months for it, so be it! at least I can still get one.

Videos are too dark to watch on Macbook pro?

Ever since I got my Macbook pro a year ago, videos are too dark to watch at any setting.

Hi Paul,
Sorry for the late answer. I live in Europe, so that's why I was asleep ;-)
Basically the command tells your computer to unhide everything on your Desktop, so if you don't have a Desktop, something is definitely wrong.
My guess is that there's something wrong with your account on that computer. You can check that by creating a new account in System Preferences (click on Accounts, click the lock in the bottom-left corner and then click the "+" button just above).
Then try mounting "some" media and see if it appears on the new user's Desktop. If not, I would highly recommend to reinstall Mac OS X.
HTH,
Jasper.

Apple Watch Band too small. Will there be a XL size?

As I looked through the options for the Apple Watch I was really pumped to get one. This was until I saw Apples band size chart. Immediately I realized that the band sizes would never fit my wrist. It is frustrating to think that Apple has alienated a whole group of customers because they decided not to make a XL Apple Watch Band. I guess my question to Apple is will there be a XL Apple Watch Band?
Its frustrating to think that I may not be able to pre order my device because of small bands.

I have read several comments like this - even mentioned it when I went to the Apple Store for my try-on. (BTW my wrist problem was that mine is around 170mm, which is at one end of the Leather Loop and the other end of the other size - glad I did not pre-order the larger band like I planned.) Anyway, the two people I spoke to said that (1) yes they have heard many comments/complaints about no larger sizes and (2) they have not heard of any plans by Apple at this point in manufacturing larger bands. However, they did say that there will be bands coming out by third party manufacturers and then (and I) would be very surprised if no one made an effort to fill this market if Apple does not decide to.

My nouveau driver file is too short? [Solved]

Yesterday I had this error when I was starting Xorg and it said my file was too short in the Xorg.0.log. I changed the device driver in my xorg.conf to "nouveau". (I do have a NVDIA card and nouveau is installed.)
I have this youtube video to document the error. (It still doesn't work but I changed the device driver to "fbdev")
(Yes, I am young! Please don't make fun of me!)

pacman -Sc will not remove currently installed packages from the cache - so that likely did not do anything. You need to actually remove the package file, or use -Scc (and answer yes) to remove the cached file(s).
Then reinstall. It should show that it is being downloaded before installing.
You can also check whether this is actually the issue by comparing the output of the following two commands to the output I'm getting (as long as you are on x86_64):
$ ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 203232 Jul 18 07:13 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so

4eb8a6bd9ec92637a17ae70adaa9ef1f /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
I had to pacman -Scc and then when I did "pacman -S {,lib32-}nouveau-dri xf86-video-nouveau" it said that a whole bunch of files existed in the filesystem (although when I did pacman -R and the packages it kept insisting I did not download those packages) so I ended up just removing the files manually with rm. I then installed the packages and things seem fine now. I'm going to reboot.
EDIT: IT WORKED! I had to generate a new Xorg.conf, and then I just changed some things, and it worked!

Video playlife too short

I just recently returned my iPod because the video life was too short. What I mean by this is whenever I would watch a video the battery is always depleted whenever I finish. When I sent it back to Apple, they said that there was no problem with it. But, clearly there is a problem if my iPod dies everytime I watch a video. Its also funny how it took Apple 5 days ,after shipdate, to figure out that my iPod had no problems!? To me, this is too confusing so any help will be appreciated!
Windows Windows XP

How short are we talking here? Videos drain the battery very quickly. When I can't sleep, I sometimes watch an episode of South Park. They're about 20 minutes long and whenever I finish, the battery is nearly always in the red no matter how full the charge was previously.
That said, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure you're getting the most out of your iPod. Have a look at Apple's iPod battery page:
