Why is "fixed resolution" in Motion not unchecked by default???
I learned that in Motion 4, "fixed resolution" in the Media tab is supposed to be unchecked by default so that if you bring in Illustrator pdf files, they show up nice and clean (not pixelated).
But I am working with a multi-layered map where each country is being imported into Motion as a separate pdf file. Every single time, I have to navigate to the Media tab and manually uncheck the "fixed resolution" of all the pdf layers. I thought in Motion it was unchecked by default.
Any way to change this setting? I want "fixed resolution" to remain unchecked (as opposed to checked) by default.
Thank in advance,
- Nick
Just a guess, but I believe that the Fixed Resolution box is checked by default to keep the program from buckling under large, complex vector graphics when they are imported.
As far as I know there is no way to change that default.

I assumed that the original soundtrack was part of the movie when I bought a dubbed movie (danish in my case), as is the case with DVD and Blueray movies. Apparently it is not...
Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive. -
PDFs are low res even with Fixed Resolution deselected
Motion 5.0.6
I am working on a project with a single pdf file imported from Illustrator. There are no other layers in the file, the pdf has no filters applied and Fixed Resolution is selected off. Render is set to Full resolution and Quality to Normal. For some reason the image displays in low resolution when I zoom in. Any ideas? Thanks.When no camera is present, you simply scale the PDF image, or you can manipulate the Position.Z paramater.
Fixed Resolution is Motion's way of keeping the brakes on a file that has potential for unlimited resolution. It's a safety net designed to keep performance reasonable.
When a PDF is imported, it comes into Motion with the document dimensions with which it was created, and Motion will render it on the canvas with those dimensions and set the resolution of the image with those dimensions. As long as Fixed Resolution is checked, it will be treated as a standard image even though it might contain vector shapes.
You have the option of unchecking Fixed Resolution, which will unleash your PDF on Motion and possibly affect the performance of the application (PDF vectors can consume huge amounts of video RAM especially when scaled to very large sizes.)
Another way to go, without unchecking Fixed Resolution is to change the dimensions of the PDF document, and Motion allows you to do that from within the application.
Below is a PDF I imported. Note the dimensions of 298x278:
(The Media tab is selected and the PDF layer is also selected -- then in the Inspector, the Media tab is where you'll find these controls [along with the Fixed Resolution checkbox... for those who might not know how to get to it])
Scaling the image greater than 100% in the canvas will result in softening of the image (like any other plain image) with fixed resolution on.
Below, I have modified the Fixed Width and Fixed Height (dragging one will automatically change the other based on the Pixel Aspect Ratio setting.) In this example, I have reset the Fixed Width to 2000.0.
I can now resize (scale) my PDF up to the dimensions I have set with Fixed Width/Height -- with Fixed Resolution still on, and still maintain a pristine vector appearance of the image (as long as the Canvas view is at 100% or less).
It still limits the PDF vectors to reasonable limits and allows you to get the smooth line appearance you expect from vector shapes.
PS - You could even take advantage of the Fixed Resolution degrading the image as it gets "closer" in view by tweaking those parameters to create the illusion of losing focus.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).

Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?
I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work. For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed. How can this be fixed?
Hello igho234,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?
The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

HT203970 Home Sharing fix is unreliable and not permanent
Going by other posts on the Apple Forums, this fix is unreliable and not permanent...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6601112?tstart=0
The fact that this article exists indicates that Apple are aware of the issue yet nothing has been done to resolve it since Yosemite was released over 3 months ago. As of 31st January, I am running OS X 10.10.2 with iTunes 12.1.0.50 and the latest Apple TV firmware yet this issue still occurs.
As with other people that have encountered this problem, one of the suggested fixes may work but none of them are reliable i.e. one may work one day, another on a different day and some days I can't get it to work at all. Some of the fixes that have worked at one time or another are as follows: -
Reboot the Apple TV (this is the simplest fix but now works less frequently than it used to)
Restart iTunes
In "iTunes > File", turn off Home Sharing, turn Home Sharing back on again and restart iTunes
In "System Preferences > Sharing", change the computer name then restart iTunes (this is the Apple recommended fix).
In "iTunes > Preferences > General", change the library name and restart iTunes.
Turn off the "iTunes > Preferences > Sharing" functionality. Some people have commented that this conflicts with the Home Sharing feature. I don't know how or why let alone what the difference is between Sharing and Home Sharing. The Apple documentation is a bit ordinary in this regard.
Various combinations of the above or the reverse.
I don't know if this problem is related to the OS X Computer Name automatically changing issue ...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6631728?tstart=0
I have that problem as well so I tried a workaround for that problem...
http://ispire.me/fix-yosemite-rtc-alarm-wakeup-issue/
The computer name has stopped automatically changing but the Apple TV still has problems.
Any ideas?Hi there vicnish,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with Home Sharing right now while attempting to transfer your library from one computer to another. Here is an article for you that will walk you through some troubleshooting steps aimed at addressing this issue:

Why Pages, keynotes, and Numbers are not free? I bought my mac Oct 14, 2013
Why Pages, keynotes, and Numbers are not free? I bought my Mac at Oct 14, 2013. With the new OS X Mavericks relaeaed, Apple said that these three Apps are free to new buyers, I bought Macbook Air last week. Why I didn't see these three Apps free after I logged in the Mac App Store?
Please, Help!***For those that purchased iWork 09 not on the app store but as a retail disk copy you can get the update for iWork even though it may show $19.99 for all the apps:
You can reupdate to iWork 9.3 by going here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563
then after it is updated close the app store if opened then open it again and sign out then sign in and then all the iwork 2013 apps should show as update rather than $19.99 cost each. This worked for me. I bought iwork '09 on disk but it showed 19.99 each after I upgraded to Mavericks so followed the above steps and it worked. I am now updating all my iWork suite I bought on disk, NOT on the Mac app store and now I have a Mac app store set!
Apple sure has a problem that needs to be fixed otherwise iWork will eventually be free for everyone...
Someone at Apple forgot all of us old retail people before the Mac App store existed! -
Why does fix capitalization work when there is only one space after the period in pages 09?
why does fix capitalization work when there is only one space after the period in pages 09? For example: "Turn on 3rd St. After the traffic light." There is only one space after the period in "St." shouldn't it only auto correct after TWO spaces..?? the word After, should be after..
You may also use a noBreak space after the period at the end of the abbreviation.
If I remember well, in such case the capitalization will not apply.

2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== approx. 2 days agoI've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product. -

Why is my Safari browsing session not continuing on my iPhone?
Why is my Safari browsing session not continuing on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro? I thought this was a feature of Mountain Lion or do I need to change some settings?
To synce iMessages with iOS and OSX, you need to not only have a well setup contacts card (both their apple id email and their iphone phone number in one card) you will need to setup your apple id on your phone. Your friend will also need to do the same thing on their phone, however you are able to send messages to phone numbers, they do not sync with OSX and will not show up on, say an iPad. This will be fixed once iOS 6 comes out, or at least that's what the keynote and WWDC 2012 said
In iOS go to settings>Messages receive at and sign in with your apple id you use for iMessages. (make sure you are only using one apple id, I know it lets you use multiple ones, but it works best with one).
now that your iOS device and your OSX device have the same apple id email tied to imessages, have a friend send you a message or send one to your friend and when they reply back it should all sync.
A catch, as of now, with iOS 6 not out, there is no way to sync iMessages made with your phone number and OSX. So some of your text messages may only appear on your phone until you respond.
once you respond, you've responded with you apple id.
if they respond to that message specifically then the chat will sync between all devices.
if your friend says that they have two text messages open for you, tell them that they have to add your apple id to the contact card they have for you, and then delete both messages. Now it'll sync in one message box.
The same is true with other chat accounts and your contact cards in Messages.app on OSX
Think of Contacts.app as the new buddy list...
