Why can't I find clips that have been disconnected? I know they aren't deleted, but have been moved. Searching the HD doesn't find them.

I opened a FCE doc that I had worked in within the last week, and found half the clips in the projects were mysteriously disconnected. I assumed I had inadvertantly moved a folder, or renamed it, so I did a search on my HD for one of the disconnect clips to locate the file. No luck! Searched another. Nothing. I KNOW the files weren't deleted. Why don't they show up in a standard finder search? Help!

I have always struggled with FCE's automatic generation of folder for certain files. I learned editing on Adobe Premiere and like the new file set up procedure better there. You choose your codec, your scratch discs, and all details associated with the project and decide where they all reside. Then (and here's the best part) it sticks with the project. You open a project from two years ago and it still remembers where captures go, renders, all of it. With FCE, you have to remember to go into System Settings and reset the scratch disks for the project, or it will use whatever was the last project's settings. Right?
Anyway, related to this annoyance, I recently found the autosaves for this project randomly sitting in another project folder. I think I just deleted it, thinking they weren't important since I still had the original, and would be doing more work on it. Could this be at the root of my problem?

    I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
    How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

    I found this:

  • Does someone know when our movie project and finally our iDVD project is done, can we erase the clip that we had imported in iMovie without danger?  Or we have to keep the clip in iMovie until the DVD are burn?

    Hi
    Most processes in Non destructive Video editing is based on that the raw-material is safe and intact. So by trashing it most things can or will go wrong.
    So e.g. in iMovie project - there is NO Movie - just a small text document refering to Your raw-material, audio files and photos (within or not in iPhoto Library) on how they are to act together to Play Your Movie.
    And by changing any of them the Movie project will be affected or destroyed.
    reg. iDVD there is also a link back to iMovie - Most famous to set of the iDVD BUG !
    To do that - one starts a new iDVD project and add movies etc. Then find something i one movie in need to be adjusted. Closing iDVD and returning to iMovie and doing this. Then when back to iDVD it will notice and ask You to Up-date or Cancel. Neither works. The iDVD project is harmed. All Chapters now point to Chapter One and more strange things happens.
    the medicine I use - I start a brand new iDVD Project and re-do it and hopefully not fine any more to be fixed in the movie.
    This indicates the strong link inbetween iDVD and iMovie and I would not touch anything in iMovie till DVD is Burned and Ready AND Plays Well !

  • The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

    The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
    I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
    It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

    This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
    The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

  • Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends to me from her iPad   I am very new on my ipad2

    Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends me from her iPad?  I am very new on my ipad2.  I have no idea what my operating system is.

         Under the iPad specifications they support the following video types:
    iPad: Technical Specifications
    AirPlay Mirroring to Apple TV support at 720p
    Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p with Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately)
    Video out support at 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable (cables sold separately)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
         The iPad and iPad 2 support the same video types. You cannot open a .mov file via e-mail to the best of my knowledge (on iPad). Only YouTube videos and app specific videos* can be opened via e-mail on the iPad.
    * Such as PBS News Hour, TED, etc.
         If both of you use a social network such as Facebook she could upload the videos and can post them on your wall.

  • Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

    Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces? The Nio reads hte guitar but GB doesn't....

    Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
    Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

  • If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic?  When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

    If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic?  When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

    No it doesn't. Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A single shot can be in 100 albus and use no extra disk space at all.
    If you have the same shot in two Events then yes, the file is duplicated.
    When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.
    The Finder doesn't really understand the iPhoto Library. It's quite possible for the iPhoto Library to contain many files with the same name. The Library also contains different versions of the same shot - thumbnail, originals and edited version. This is normal.

  • Why can't i drag clips to timeline?

    I'm new.
    Why can't i drag clips to timeline? I set in and out points but clips will not drag.

    So it sounds like you're dragging from the source monitor and not from the project window. Either way, is it creating a new sequence for you when you drop it in over the blank timeline? If not what IS it doing? What version of pr are you using?

    Why can't I reply to emails on my iPhone 5 - this is a recent problem, I have been able to reply and delete email messages previously.

    A bit more information would be needed to understand what's going on?
    What happens when you try to reply... Do you get an error message, is there no send button, does a symbol appear?

    - Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • I have a Ipone 4 I uploaded IOS 7 02 but My ıpone is scratchings. I am not finding as effective my ipone. When will solve this problem by Apple?

    I have a Ipone 4 I uploaded IOS 7 02 but My ıpone is scratchings. I am not finding as effective my ipone. When will solve this problem by Apple? I want to return the old version. Can you help me please.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

    In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution.  The steps do apply.  A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
    Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
    If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
    If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • I have 2 Company ipads. They were set up by someone who has left the company. His email address was deleted when he left - so we cannot send a recovery email request.  He connected both iPads to 'find my iphone' - and we cant locate his mobile! help!

    If you have the original receipts, you can take them to an Apple Store and they may be able to remove the activation lock. A good lesson learned to have an employee clear a device when leaving.
