Why is the Play head not snapping?

In the latest update of FCPX I can't get the play head in the timeline to snap where it want it. Not sure what It's actually called, but what I mean is the orange line that follows where the cursor moves and scrubs the video/audio. I use to be able to click and have it hold then i could move a clip in/out point to where that orance line was. It doesn't work that way anymore.
Now it will co into a clip once, but it won't let me reposition it.
Is there a setting or is this a bug?

The playhead behavior has changed. If you click on a clip to select it, the playhead will not move to that point. This is an unfortunate change in my view, but there it is. If you want to click on a clip and make the playhead move to the skimmer, hold the Option key.

Why does the play-head go back to the beginning of a timeline/project by default

When working in timeline mode, the program (Premier Elements 10) often wants to go back to the very beginnning of the timeline/project when you're working on the tail end of a project, (which of course, is most of the time). I'm not sure what key or function I may be hitting to cause this behavior because it doesn't happen 100% of the time (more like 80%). But it's quite frustrating to continually have to zoom out to view the whole project/timeline, stop the playback (it automatically goes into play mode from the beginning of the timeline), and then zoom back to where you were working at the end of the project.
I have been through all menus and can't find an option to shut that "feature" off.
I'm running Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
The answer to your question as I understand it is printed here already.
That would be, to get the Timeline Indicator back to the start of the Timeline 00;00;00;00, you would press the Home key.
All possible interpretations are included in what is already writtten above:
Computer Home Key takes the Timeline Indicator to the start of the Timeline.
End Key takes the Timeline Indicator to the end of the Timeline content.
Clicking on a spot on the gray area immediately above sight of the Timeline tracks commands the Timeline Indicator to that spot.
The Timeline Indicator can be moved from clip to clip (left to right) Page Down and from clip to clip (right to left) Page Up.
If you do not want playback of your Timeline content immediately after it is rendered there, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and remove the check mark next to "Play work area after rendering previews".
You can also check Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Application to see if there is anything of interest there.
If I have not targeted your question, please give further details and I will think about this some more to determine if there is something that I am overlooking.
Thanks.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Moving the play head in the main timeline from a button in a movie clip

I have a movie clip that loads and when it is done playing it has a close button that unloads the movie clip... I want to add code to this button that moves the play head to frame 20 of my main timline using actionScript 3.0

Tried that but dose not work think its because I am loading the movie this way...
Play button "playFinal"
function lastQuestion(event:MouseEvent):void{
     var Info:final1 = new(final1);
     this.stage.addChild(Info);
     Info.x=511
     Info.y=340; }
So I tried using the Name "Info"
//example......    MovieClip(Info.root).gotoAndStop(20);
And I tried the name of the clip in the library "final1"
//example......    MovieClip(final1.root).gotoAndStop(20);
Is it because im loading it with actions script instead of having it on the timeline?

How to use the jquery UI slider object in Edge to control the play head

Edge seems to automatically load jquery {I think} because I see a lot of $.{...} code in the code file. I want to do something like ... add the jquery UI slider as a symbol into my assets library then place an instance of the slider on my stage. Then I can start coding event handlers that get the position of the slider and then reposition the play head to the trigger associated with the number returned from the slider. The slider seemed to be controlled in jquery and the play head control is in the Edge api. they both seem to work with js functions ... so I'm looking for a way to get them working together in the Edge code that I see for a stage.

You could try to load jquery ui and then apply it to the symbol.
There are serveral ways to load a script.
Example 1 for draggable
$.getScript("js/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.min.js", function() {
var info = sym.$("info");
info.draggable({ disabled: false });
info.draggable({ snap: true });
info.draggable({ axis: "x" });
Example 2
yepnope(
    nope:[
        'js/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.min.js',
    complete: init
function init() {
    var mySymbol= sym.getSymbol("symbolName");
    // do something

Inserted a png PIP into my clip, can see it fine, can see it playing with the clip as expected when moving the play head manually, but cannot get it to play with the clip for preview, pleas help!

I am sorry if my inquiry here seem dumb but I am a new iMovie user and cannot figure this out. I inserted a png image into my video clip in the project as PIP, I can see it and move it and can also see it playing with the main clip if I move the play head manually, I can also see the PIP part only playing along with the undelying main clip if I use the Play button in the preview window when the PIP section is selected, however, for the life of me I cannot get it to play with the main clip all together for previewing the entire video via the video play button. What happens is that the video plays normally and when the PIP section comes in, the video clip stop all motion during the duration of the PIP section and the PIP image itself is simply NOT showing. Am I missing something really stupid here? It seems as it the Picture On Picture is a separate clip that plays with the underlying main video clip if selected and played by itself but it is not part of the video clip and will not play with it. What am I missing here, can anyone please help?

The easiest way to get up and running is to convert your MP3s to MP4s (obviously there won't be a video track). The following link links to a file that was an MP3 that I converted to an MP4 using QT Player Pro. When you go to export the files, make sure you click on "Options" and then check the box for "Enable Streaming" in the Streaming tab. It should stream flawlessly using QT Player. rtsp://rhsstreamit.rih.org/testmp4/Scorpion.mp4
Make sure you place the media to be streamed in the proper folder. You should only get a "404" message if the physical file doesn't exist.
Good luck!

For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

Why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

The exclamation mark is telling you that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. Assuming you're using iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

Issue with Audition CC build 7.1.0.119 crashing on moving the play head back

Hi, every time I edit a sound clip or and an effect and then move the play head back, the application crashes.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Thank you.

You are absolutely right. I had the same problem, when the scale was 125%, but after reduction to 100%, the problem disappeared.

[X-Fi] Why do the "small things" not wo

Creative has designed and produced a great soundcard, I think many people will agree with this point. Of course, there are some small problems, but that's ok with such a high technology product (Vista Support, Crackling Problem).
But:
Why is the X-Fi not capable of Dolby Digital (respecti'vely DTS) Li've Encoding and you have to buy an external DTS encoder, so you get D/A -> A/D -> A/D converting.
Why is there no mode-switcher integrated in the driver and I have to use third party tools, which cause problems sometimes?
Why is there no Linux/Unix-support respecti'vely a Open Source-driver?
I'm sure there will be some more "small things" people want to get realised. Especially the not existing DTS/DD-Encoding should be done without great technical problems, and also without licence-related problems, otherwise the external DTS encoder wouldn't have been realised that fast. I think Creative just wants to earn fast & easy money.

You are right... specially the last line in youre post. But i agree with everything you said.
I think Creative just wants to earn fast & easy money.
But there is no answer, and dont expect one from CL. As they are sitting home and counting the easy money, and laughing their rich asses off!! "LOL the suckers....Hope we can fool them buy the new Super X-FI pci-e, we?ll promise them to be 00% crackling free."
