  • What does this key combo mean, what's it doing?

    mark an in and mark an out - anywhere in the timeline of an open sequence,
    type the following keyboard combo:
    Control, O
    or Control, I
    Whats up with the red line that now extends between marks in the timeline and canvas?? Is it setting me up to create a split edit?
    Curious.. Thanks for thoughts, direction.

    Yes, split edit. Go to Mark > Mark Split to see your other short cuts. Handy way to do an L-cut with out trimming or slipping transitions in the timeline.

    By photo CD do you mean you're trying to burn image files to a CD disk from iPhoto? How are you going about this?

  • I have many photos that are visible as thumbnails in the Pictures Library, however when I try to open them in a big screen they show a back screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle.  What does this exclamation mark mean ?

    I can see my images in the libarary as thumbnails but when i try to edit/email some of them become Exclamation Marks in a triangle.
    What does the exclamation mark mean and how to i retrieve the photo

    The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

    What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

    Hello bbb34vball,
    Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

    what does doa cover. i mean i brought  a macbook 6 days back and it uses to restart  when its powerd off nd lid closed it has kinda defective power key also. can it be treated as doa

    DOA means different things to different manufacturers. For some DOA means it fails to work out of the box and will be replaced but if it worked out of the box and failed the next day it will be repaired. For other companies there is a liberal return policy - for Apple if you buy direct from Apple (online or an Apple store) you have 14 days to return. That means you can return a defective computer and then turn around and buy a new one.
    (I had a store manager try to get me to accept a repair on a computer with a bad keyboard out of the box. I refused and insisted on a full refund if she wasn't willing to replaced it.)

  • Make Key Photo on iPhone

    Is there any way to change the key photo that displays on an album on the iPhone? I know on iPhoto you can do this by holding down the spacebar when the photo displays on the event thumbnail. Is there any way to do this on the iPhone? I have several albums, but every time a new photo is added, it becomes the key photo.

    There is not a Key Photo option with iPhoto albums.
    There is a Key Photo option with iPhoto Events only.
    An Event's Key Photo should not change after an event is transferred to the iPhone.
    When I add an additional photo to an iPhoto album that was previously transferred to my iPhone followed by a sync, the additional photo added does not become the photo shown for the album when viewing the albums under Photo Library on my iPhone.
    With my iPhoto albums, I have manually selected for photo sorting with iPhoto so I can manually sort the photos in an album in the order I prefer. The order of photos I've manually sorted with an iPhoto album is retained after the album is transferred to my iPhone.
    The iPhone's Photo app CANNOT make any changes. The changes are occurring when the album is transferred.
    What is your selecting for sorting photos within the iPhoto albums you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone? Does the first photo available in an iPhoto album in iPhoto selected to be transferred to your iPhone appear as the photo for the album on your iPhone?

  • What does rendering error -50 mean? I'm trying to export to apple device from FC Pro

    What does "rendering error -50"  mean?  I'm trying to export to an apple device (Itunes) and I've done it this way before but now I just get the error message.  I'm not very technically savvy.

    I had a bunch of video clips which I took on a point and shoot camera.  They had been uploaded along with photos to Aperture, but putting the SD card directly  into my computer. Every year I take all the clips, edit out the junk, and make a DVD for the kids and grandkids to enjoy.  When in final cut, I just clicked on the camera to import from Aperture. 
    I also make DVD's though out the year of special events, using these same type of video clips taken with the point and shoot. I sometimes do slow motion set to music, etc. I have not had a problem before.  And all the bad files came from one trip in October.  All the files after it were fine as well.  I'm not sure what I did differently for that trip. 
    The little video clips say DSCN1783 (or some other file number) and are 1920x1080.  I try to "share" my project to a Master File on an external drive.

  • What does Network Service Inactive mean?

    What does Network Service Inactive mean?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences. A list of available network services appears on the left. If Wi-Fi is in the list, select it, then from the popup menu labeled with a gear icon at the bottom of the list, select

    If Wi-Fi is not in the service list, click the plus-sign button at the bottom of the list, and then select Wi-Fi from the  Interface menu in the sheet that drops down. Click Create, then Apply.
    If there is a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your administrator password to unlock the settings.
    If the above steps don't solve the problem, continue.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

    Right-click or control-click the line and select
             Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Restart the computer and recreate your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • What does salt and Iteration mean

    What does salt and iteration mean in the constructor of PBEKeySpec

    A key is generated from your PBE password using MD5 hashing.
    To make it more difficult to attack
    1) the hash is initialised with a 'salt' value before hashing the password,
    2) the result of first hashing is hashed iteratively the number of times given by the 'iteration' count parameter with the final hash value being used as the key.

  • What does (error code -600) mean?

    What does (error code -600) mean?
    I received this code in a pop up window while trying to open iTunes from my Apps folder.

      procNotFound             
    = -600, /*no eligible process with specified descriptor*/
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Any change?

  • When exporting a slideshow, what does "current frame rate" mean?

    I'm exporting a slideshow from iPhoto '11 and I'm using custom settings
    I am wondering when you click the custom settings button
    what does "current frame rate" mean?
    does it mean use the current frame rate that it uses to let me preview the slideshow?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens to the slideshow other than giving you this error. Don't know what it means. However, several users have reported iPhoto crashing when trying to export a slideshow. You might search this forum for that to see if you're experiencing something similar. As far as I know there was no fix found.
    Be sure to report it to Apple via via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
