Why doesn't the 'top edit' 'q' shortcut work for me on my timeline? The 'w' 'tail edit' works fine though.

If someone could help me out with what I'm missing I would be most grateful! Thanks!

Thanks for your response Jim. I'm following a Lynda tutorial in which it says:
"If I want to trim off everything at the head, maybe this is all me talking before the camera starts rolling, I can do what's called a Top and Tails edit.
So, the keyboard shortcuts for this are Q and W, and they're right next to each other on the keyboard. If I hit the Q key, it will lop off everything before the play head to that edit point. So now, we just have the back half of the clip. Let me undo that, Cmd+Z. And if I hit the W, it will lop off everything to the right of where the play head is parked."
It seems to work for him in the video, and I can get the W shortcut to work but not the Q one. Not sure why!

Why doesn't my esc tool box shortcut work?

I'm new to Logic. I've been watching tutorials and they show that the esc key is the shortcut key for the toolbox but nothing happens when I press mine. Nothing happens at all. Even when I press it with a number. Please let me know, what I need to do as that shortcut seems essential. Thanks in advance.

Hi
In your last screenshot you seem to have set up the Tools command to receive in-coming MIDI??
Turn OFF "Learn new Assignment", select the 'No message received yet" and then "Delete the assignment" (bottom).
As you appear to have problems with the ESC key, why not try assigning the Show Tool Menu to any other keycombo as a temporary test?
Then re-assign it back to the ESC key (and the other suggestions from Erik)

Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image?

Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image? The similar keyboard shortcut to assign stars works, but the shortcut to assign a label color doesn't?

Just to be sure they haven;t been reassigned in your Aperture go to Aperture->Commands->Customize then in the search box in the upper right hand corner enter color.
You should see the keyboard shortcuts and the corresponding add label commands.
If they are set then quit Aperture move you preference file to the desktop and restart Aperture. The instructions for moving the preference file can be found at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last?

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last anywhere near 5 hours, as advertised? This is my second one and it lasts 2. It's false advertising, and Apple doesn't seem to making a big deal or know anything about it, which i'm sure they do. Since their general practice is to deny problems exist in all their products, i'm here to make it known that the most recent Macbook Pro has a severe battery issue and it needs to be addressed.
I'm running OS X 10.8.3, Bluetooth is off, and haven't installed any third party software.

My MacBook Pro is over a year old and still gets 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on how intensively my application activity is hitting the CPU and disk. Remember that battery life depends on usage and component loads. You could get 1 hour editing HD video since it would hit all cores and slam the disk constantly, or 8 hours in a cabin in the woods with wifi and Bluetooth turned off, only writing text files, and with the backlight turned down and no disc in the drive. You should check Activity Monitor to make sure you don't have some processes using unusually high amounts of CPU for long periods of time (like browser tabs running Flash ads in the background, chewing up CPU and battery power without even being seen).
Like mende1 says, there are not huge numbers of Mac users getting only 2 hours, or the world would have heard about it by now and MacBook sales would be down. If you are only getting 2 hours there is something going on local to your machine or usage habits.

That's not strictly true. Apple has often announced updates or repair/exchange programs to address various problems that had come up over time. Maybe not always, but it does happen. They also have often helped me and my friends when we brought in Macs that were out of warranty and had problems. They had no legal obligation to work on our Macs for free, but they did anyway.

Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.

Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.

Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience. I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion. I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file? You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
(XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
You do get a nice answer of something like .035. But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far --
"Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date). Maybe you could pass this on too?:
/{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x := 0;
datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
numbervar i := 0;
numbervar j := 0;
//{@accum} for the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
numbervar i := i + 1;
numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
if i <= j then (
redim preserve x[j];
redim preserve y[j];
x := tonumber({table.currency});
y := datevalue({table.datetime})
//{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
xirr(x,y)
The array works correctly. So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should? Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
-265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76, 0.00
01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
=XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0?
Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

Why doesn't the location information in an iCal meeting show up on my iPhone, when it does show up in iCal?

Why doesn't the location information show up on my iPhone 4S calendar when I accept an invitation to a meeting?
The other information such as the date, time and invitees all show up on the iPhone, while in iCal all the information including the Location field is showing up.

If it won't charge you probably need to try a different dock to usb cable. More information on troubshooting this is available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.

Thank you

Without more information, speculation is a waste of time. At the least tell us what you do, what the results are, and how that result differs from your expectation. Then tell us what steps you have taken to resolve the issue, and what the results of taking those steps was.

Why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac ????

why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac plzzzz help meeeeeeeeeee

The reason no one has replied is that you posted in a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple software suite. I am asking the Hosts to move you to the MacBook Air forum.
Also these forums are NOT chat rooms so you will seldom get an instant answer. No one here works for Apple; we are end users like you who volunteer on a time-available basis to help our fellow Mac users. Patience is required here.
