Why Can't I Remove the Transitions?

Without any obvious reason, suddenly I can't remove the transitions in my project. A strange audio glitch appeared in the project after I burned it to a DVD (a piece of audio repeated just before a fadeout to black - any idea why that occurred?) so I went back to the original in iMovie and tried to delete the fadeout but wasn't able to. Then I tried to delete some of the other transitions in the project, including dissolves, and they are all stuck. Nothing happens when I hit "delete." Did I lock something in place without meaning to?

Good idea but it didn't work. The transitions won't budge. I've never encountered this before!
Here's a new twist to add to the puzzle: One of the transitions that I'm trying to eliminate shows up in the trash bin. But it's still in the movie!
Quitting and re-opening doesn't work. I've tried it a few times.
Every single transition in the whole 53 minute project seems to be locked in place.
Also - I'm wondering if the problem that popped up in the first place is related to the "locked" transitions. I needed to eliminate one fadeout and one dissolve because there's an odd little repeat of the last piece of audio during the dissolve or during the fadeout. In other words, as the transition begins, you hear the same words twice, which is quite jarring. For the first one, I can slide another piece of background audio under the fadeout to cover up the repeating audio piece but later in the movie, I don't have anything to cover up the repeat audio during the dissolve, so I really need to get rid of that dissolve.
What's going on, man? : )

Why can't I remove the back ground with Photoshop?

Here is the original HQ photo. I have used Microsoft paint and cleaned it up pretty well to get the following image.
Now I'm trying to do a better clean up of this photo but I can't get smart selection to work properly it keeps either trying cut parts of the vehicle out or add other vehicles in the shot. Also tried cleaning up the car reflection seen in the doors that also doesn't seem to working right as it just made a blurred mess removing body lines and everything. Now the clean up I did with Paint seems to be good but why can't I do it better with photoshop? Isn't photoshop supposed to be better than paint and more user friendly? Also I wanted the vehicle only and the background to be transparent I can't do that with paint or photoshop at least as far as I can tell..... Seems to me it's just to smart for its own good or either I'm a complete idiot... Someone mind helping me out here?

Since the top of the vehicle is as blown out as the sky, Photoshop is just thinking you want to include those areas as well. You probably would have been better served by using something like the Lasso Tool, selecting an outline of the vehicle (not right to the vehicle but a rough space around it, almost like a cutout). You would then click the Mask button at the bottom of the Layers panel. This puts a non-destructive mask on your image where you would then tweak the rest by erasing the edges off the rest of the mask (all non-destructively; if you make a mistake you just "paint" it back in with black).
Thus, Photoshop pwns Paint.
ON EDIT: Note that the next to last sentence above applies to when using the Eraser Tool. The reverse happens with the Paint Tool; painting with white reveals (the image); black conceals.
ON EDIT TO THE EDIT: In order to get background transparency you must save in a file format that supports transparency, like PNG. JPEG, for example, does not support transparency.

Why can't I remove the Work Offline feature?

I keep getting an error message when I open a new Firefox window which says: Offline mode, Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web. Uncheck "Work Offline" in the File menu, then try again.
I do not have the "Work Offline" feature checked. I can not open my Home Page or any other website. I've never had this problem before & I need to know why Firefox has stopped working. Do I need to reinstall the program or is there something else I can do?

You can create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
You can right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status 
Value: false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

After removing my payment info, why can't I remove the credit card type

How can I completely remove all of my payment information? I already removed all of my info but can't seem to remove the credit card type (Visa, MasterCard, etc.). After removing the info I am able to, I click Done and then in red letters the words, "There's a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update your payment method." pop out. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me please?

That message implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the payment for your last purchase i.e. that you owe iTunes money - until that is paid off you won't get the 'none' option, or be able to download anything from the store (including redownloading and app updates). If the card that you had on you account isn't been accepted by iTunes then do you have a different card that you can put on, or are iTunes gift cards available in your country, so that you can pay what iTunes thinks that you owe ?

Why can't I remove the long BOOKMARKS button from the right hand end of the bookmarks toolbar?

This button is completely superfluous and takes up space on my Bookmarks Toolbar. How do I remove it please?
To be clear, I have the 'normal' bookmarks button on my main toolbar that opens up my bookmarks in the panel on the left. What is the purpose of the Bookmarks button on the right end of the bookmarks toolbar that opens up the same bookmarks in a different presentation, and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks very much Vivek and the-edmeister, now I understand and have managed to remove the unwanted button. I beieve the ergonomics of all this are very poor - starting from the fact that 'customize' gives the impression you are in control of what appears and what doesn't, but this is confused by the fact that Firefox is also adding and removing icons depending on what toolbars are showing. Also, and the main cause for this problem, the icon I want to remove from Bookmarks toolbar does not show on Bookmarks toolbar in 'Customize' view. AND, there's the fact that the icon doesn't even look the same in the two views so it's not obvious that moving the little button (in customize) will affect the larger button with text that's on another toolbar!
For other people with the same problem, my re-writing of Vivek's original solution so it works on my system is this:
Please try this: right-click on the '''+''' after the last tab and '''Customize''' and click, hold and drag the star icon that has the little down arrow beside it from any of the toolbars on which it appears (it probably won't be in the Bookmarks toolbar!) into the Customize mini window.
Thanks again both.

Why can't I remove the Genius button from my iPod Touch?

I decided to remove Genius functionality from my iPod, so I shut it off in iTunes. However, the button still remains on the now playing screen, and Genius playlist is still listed under my Playlists. If I attempt to make a Genius playlist for any song though, it says I don't ahve enough similar songs to make one. How do I completely remove Genius from my device?

Why can't I remove vocals?

If I open itunes, right-click a song, get info, options, equalizer preset, I am able to select an option to boost the vocals of a specific track. However I cannot reduce the vocals, why not?! And why can't I remove the vocals completely? I want more options Apple!

This may fix it. Open Terminal in Utilities and Copy/Paste -- don't attempt to type this in. This will set the correct Permissions on your Home Folder. (Disk Utility Permissions Repair won't touch these.)
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Then hit return.
If you've never used the sudo command before, you will get a warning and then be prompted to enter your admin password, which you won't see on the screen as you type it in.
Wait until you get a new $ sign prompt and then close the window.

Why can't I reset the master password with the option of removing all username:passwords by unchecking "Use Master Password"?

Why can't I reset the master password with the option of removing all username:passwords by unchecking "Use Master Password"? Currently, there seems to only be the option to issue a "chrome:" command in URL which DOES reset the master password. However, it was something that I had to google. The intuitive option would be to uncheck the "Use Master Password" checkbox, receive a verification dialogue, and blammo, password reset. Please make this a feature, thank you.

''cor-el [[#answer-702776|said]]''
<blockquote>
You can remove all password in the Show Passwords dialog.
That is where you manage the passwords.
The master password is only for protecting the passwords with an extra level of encryption and has nothing to do with erasing passwords apart from resetting the MP in case you have forgotten the MP and can't open "Show passwords".
</blockquote>
Sorry, for being unclear. Essentially this is a feature request for an option under Firefox options (why not?) to reset my Master Password not knowing the Master Password. For Security reasons I understand why all the saved passwords have to be wiped, but wiping the Master Password (having forgotten it) should be an option without having to issue an arcane command that one has to google to figure out.

Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes?

Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes? Why I have the text selected, all it does it let me highlight it to change font, size, etc, OR all I can do is move it throughout the artboard. Why can I click and drag the corner box to adjust?
M

It's because you have a paragraph text box and it doesn't automatically resize text. This way you can change the margins of the text without resizing it which is how paragraph text functions by default.
I'm not seeing the new text paragraph/area indicator on your text box, which is what you get in Illustrator CC, so the only way to convert this text so you can resize it by dragging on the corners is to copy the text, deselect the text box, use the text tool to click once in another part of your document, and then paste the text. The text will then come into your document as one long line if you don't have hard returns in it, but after reflowing the text manually you'll be able to drag the corners to resize the text.
I would recommend not going this route as any text you remove from the area type means that the rest of the text has to be manually adjusted to maintain correct margins. Instead just resize the bounds of the paragraph text and adjust the size of the font in the Character panel.

HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups.
Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad. (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone. You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

Why can't I access my transitions?

Why can't I access my transitions? When I open the transitions menu, it is blank with just one whited-out selection for each category name. When I originally installed the program, the transition menu had lots of transitions to choose from in each category. They normally appear as black boxes. So somehow I lost my transitions. I tried uninstall & reinstall but it made no difference. Is there a specific folder where I can look to see if the transitions are downloaded? I believe these are .png files. I tried a windows search using the keyword 'dip to black' but did not find anything.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Wherever you are, I suspect that you are in the Quick workspace and not the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 11, 12, or
13. Go to the Expert workspace. It is normal for the Quick workspace not to have the complete set of transitions that the Expert workspace has.
The answers are in the details.
We will be looking forward to your results.
Thank you.

Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?

Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?
[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "skype"]

Hello, dmitry72, and welcome to the Skype Community!
Sorry you're having trouble doing such a simple task. Unfortunately, you are correct in your findings - unlike the desktop version of Skype, there's no way to simply clear your chat history in one swift motion other than clearing the data or uninstalling the app. You can, however, clear the chat history of a conversation by deleting it. The only downside to the workaround is the amount of time it would consume if you desired to remove every conversation.
Your feedback can change Skype, so do send the developers some using the app! They're listening, so you may send this (or take a chance that this gets noticed by developers) and other bright ideas you may have about Skype for Android. You might see some great changes in the upcoming versions!
The option to send feedback is within the Settings menu on the latest version of Skype.
Thanks for your feedback!
If there's anything we could do more to help, don't hesitate to post again!
