  • Saving project for all versions of fce & fcp

    I have been using fce on the move for a project but now i cant open in in final cut pro hd.
    Is there any way of saving the project for all versions or older versions in particular.

    Final Cut is not backwards compatible, but it might help if you give the exact version numbers you're talking about.

    And question is STILL not answered.  WHICH is to be downloaded and used?
    I would like an answer.

    Thank you for the clarification!  It is really kinda circle-speaking to state on an information page to put forth info people need in that manner.  It really does add to the confusion and frustration when you need a simple,
    straight answer, such as you gave, and you dont get one.  Kind of like that . . other... software company....
    This rabbit hole still continues, though.  I'm going to ladder it out, just to see for myself:
    Have: MacBookPro / 2.4 GHz/ Intel Core i5/ running OS X 10.6.3 -
    Need: latest version of Java, so Flash update can be loaded;
                                  (want html5 to be the standard so badly, but client wants Flash)                  
      Attempted:  Tried to find Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2 on Apple website.  No Joy.
            Found:   Update 2 is proper update for Mac OS X 10.6.3.  Could not find download on Apple website;
                           - No Joy.
      Attempted:  Tried to find Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8. Half Joy. Confusing, no straight info.
            Found:   In order to install update for Java, must update OS X from present 10.6.3 to 10.6.8

    how far does the rabbit hole go?

  • How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

    How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
    You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim UIResManager
    Dim Cache
    Dim CacheSize
    CacheSize=20000
    Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
    Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
    Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
    Or you could use a configuration item.

    You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

  • Claims debacle (error) with Term Store: "Could not retrieve a valid windows identity" for all sites in a particular web app.

    When I pull up the Term store in CA or any MySite collection, it works.
    When I do so in any other site collection (HNSCs, incidentally), It doesn't return any term stores.
    My ULS log immediately before and after the "/_vti_bin/taxonomyinternalservice.json/CheckPermission" POST on termstore .aspx triggers the WCF call:

    The "The caller is not authorized to access the service." message seems pertinent.
    Both web apps are using only NTLM auth.
    The url for both web apps ends in the same contoso.com domain. 
    I get the same errors no matter what account I use, including the install account.
    Things I've tried:
    Deleting and building a new HNSC root web app and site. Error happens in all sites in all web apps except the PBSC hosting MySites.
    Giving the root site app pool identity full control of the metadata service app (even though the MySite identitiy doesn't have it)
    Giving the root site app pool identity full permissions on the metadata service app.
    Comparing database and web app config permissions between dev (where everything works perfectly) and prod (where it does not).
    Made sure IIS auth settings on both sites are identical
    Both sites are using the same SSL certificate (though the call to the web service appears to be http)
    Reprovisioned the metadata service app with a new database and new app pool identity.
    Made sure C2WT is running. Tried it with the service stopped as well.
    Web.configs are identical between working and non-working apps.
    I'm stumped but still Googling. I'm hoping to avoid having to call Micrososft. Any help would be appreciated!
    UPDATE:
    Interestingly, when I restored the web application from backup (via CA), I ended up with 3 identical "Windows Authentication" authentication providers assigned to the problem web app. Since there was more than one, I was directed to the provider-chooser
    page when visiting the site. Upon choosing 1 of the 3, I was authenticated, and *poof*, no more authentication errors and the term store loaded term sets as expected.
    Of course, 3 providers was not an ideal state, so I grabbed the one that worked (#1) via get-spauthenticationprovider, and assigned it to the web app via set-spwebapplication, and my problem returned.
    I am currently updating the farm to SP1 from June 2013 CU. Fingers crossed.
    Update:
    The update to SP1 went smoothly, but did not resolve the issue. Also related (I believe) are the random authentication errors when trying to upload images to some libraries, and 401-errors on the accessdenied.aspx page itself.
    Update:
    The problem is resolved, seemingly after making 4 changes. I'm trying to narrow down which change was the cure, if any:
    I installed SP1 on all 6 servers, rebooted and upgraded. This appeared to have no effect.
    Removed an old login from SQL that no longer existed in AD because of this ULS error:
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The user or group contoso\svc_xxxxxxxxx' is unknown., StackTrace:    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.GetFullNameFromLoginEx(String loginName, Boolean&
    bIsDL)
    This login was the identity of the application pool that used to run the web app in question.
    This login was the schema owner of a schema named after itself on every SharePoint database so I changed the schema owner to dbo but left the schema attached.
    The problem may have surfaced initially when the app pool identity was changed in CA, but went unnoticed?
    Note that the web app had been deleted and recreated many times with a new identity and pool to no avail, but the URL remained the same throughout each attempted fix. Relevant?
    Grasping at straws, I changed the app pool identity for this web app to the same one that runs the MySite web app pool as per this only slightly related problem: http://www.planetsharepoint.org/m/preview.php?id=372&rid=34764&author=Vlad+Catrinescu
    I changed the authentication method from NTLM to Negotiate.
    I am rolling back #3 and #4 to see if the issue resurfaces.
    Update:
    It doesn't appear to have been the NTLM/Negotiate setting. Web app is currently set to NTLM and all is well. No strange accessdenies, and term Store is still manageable from all sites.
    Update: Sorry for the delay. I am administering 6 farms these days. Will update as soon as the final phase of rollbacks happens.
    I think I can. I think I can.

    maybe that web app was accidentally created with classic auth?
    here's an example of how to create claims based, with classic, and then "doing 2013" claims
    #Create the example web application, as mentioned above, either with gui, and pick later, or
    New-SPWebApplication-ApplicationPool$applicationPool-ApplicationPoolAccount$serviceAcct-Name$WebApp-Port
    5050
    -databaseName$contentDB-securesocketslayer
    #If doing for 2013
    New-SPWebApplication-ApplicationPool$applicationPool-ApplicationPoolAccount$serviceAcct-Name$WebApp-Port
    5050
    -AuthenticationProvider(new-spauthenticationprovider)

  • Planning Funtion executed for all versions

    Dear all,
    I have a Planning function - a Fox formula written and I have assigned the function to a button in WAD.
    When I click on the button and execute the planning function the formula executes for all the Versions in the Planning cube.
    I  have a variable for Version in the Filter of the query so I would expect the formula to execute and data to change only for the selection in the filter.
    I have Version in Foreach statement but I would want the formula to work only for the data in the cube which is filtered in the filter section of the query using variables.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Thanks Indu for the reply.
    I am using Planning function. I am not using a Planning Sequence. If I use VARV in the FOX it prompts me again for variable value.
    However, my problem is not just with Version, its with other characteristics too.
    I have Cost Center, Company Code, Employee, Version and Fiscal Year as Selection Variables in the query.
    If a user enters certain Cost Center and Employee I would want the Planning function to execute only for that Cost Center and Employee and not others.
    Currently, if I enter one cost center the Input ready query result in 2 records. I plan for those two records and save it. The planning Function is executed in the background and executes not only for those 2 records but for all the other cost centers, Employees and Versions  too. But I want the report to execute and save data only for the 2 records which are selected through selection variable.
    Can you guide me how I can achieve this?
    I donot have a filter for Agggregation layer, I have filter at the query. Few characteristics in the filter are filtered with constant and few are slected with a variable.
    Can you tell me what the process is ? I tried FOREACH <variable> IN SELECTION statement but that didnt help.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

  • Will Safari 5.1.10 work for all versions of 10.6 or just version 10.6.8? If it requires 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Sarari that will work with 10.6.6?

    Will Safari 5.1.10 work with all versions 10.6 or does it require 10.6.8? If it does require 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Safari that will work with 10.6.6?
    Thanks
    Eric

    This Mac currently has Safari 5.0.4. Software Update shows a newer version of iTunes and of course the combo updater to 10.6.8 but nothing else. I imagine the 10.6.8 updater contains a later version of Safari but I don't now which version it is and whether it is backward compatible with older versions of 10.6. There are a number of newer versions of Safari: 5.0.5. 5.0.6, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, . . . 5.1.10 to name a few but would any of them work with 10.6.6? In a similar thread a guy asked a similar question to mine: he had 10.6.6 and wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Safari. He tried installing various versions but was rejected each time. He finally asked if there was any newer version of Safari that would install on 101.6.6 - but he never got an answer.
    Software Update displayed a newer iTunes but no mention of Safari. I wonder if this indicates that the 5.0.4 Safari that I have is the latest version there is for 10.6.6. Anybodyknow for sure?
    TIA

  • IGoogle (and perhaps others) broken after updating to 6.0.2 -- broken for ALL versions of Firefox now.

    Hi folks,
    Note: I've found a way to post images... here they are...
    [http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/_Melk_/iGoogle_Firefox_broken2.png iGoogle Firefox Broken (same in version 5.x, 6.x & 7.x)]
    [http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/_Melk_/iGoogle_IE9_Working.png iGoogle Firefox IE9 Working (was like this on FF too before last update)]
    This is a good one so bear with me, I'll try to be as precise as I can.
    I updated FF to 6.0.2 yesterday and since then iGoogle (and perhaps other pages.. not sure on this) does not display correctly anymore.
    Most evident is the fact that the links "Advanced Search" and "Language Tools" shown (usually) on the right side of the search edit box, don't show up anymore.
    Other changes are the graphics which are used by the gadgets. In IE9 & FF before the update, each gadget showed round corners, not anymore in FF after update. Also, if I try to change the theme, the buttons "Add This" don't show up in FF now.
    Now, here's the kicker! I completely removed Firefox from my system, meaning uninstalled it using the remove settings as well. I also deleted my profile folder & the Mozilla Firefox folder after the uninstall. Then I reinstalled version FIVE (5.0) to see if I could revert to the why things were back then, and behold, same problem!! So now, I can't repair my firefox to work properly even if I return to older versions!? wow
    Tried system restore to a few days ago, that didn't fix it.
    Tried version 5.x, 6.x and even the beta 7.x (all from scratch after uninstalling and deleting the profile folder + program files(x86) Mozilla folder) --- still NO FIX! ack! ;)
    Frankly, I'm at my wits end on this one. I usually can repair pretty much anything computer/OS related, but this one has me stumped.
    Thanks in advance for ANY help provided.. much appreciated :)
    /cheers
    P.S. I also tried safe mode (took the broken FF picture in Safe Mode), but it has the same issues. In other words, I'm now officially unable to have ANY version of Firefox display iGoogle correctly anymore (5.x, 6.x, even beta 7.x). Be it bare bone, with or without addons, etc etc. All this caused by updating to 6.0.2 from 6.0.1.
    Note that I've done tons of updates before without any issues. Also been using FF for the last 6+ years I think (been a while ;) )

    Turns out that it's iGoogle Styling that has changed! Not a Firefox bug (although there are bugs in the new iGoogle).
    The changes to my homepage (iGoogle) happened just as I was updating 6.0.2. So this led me to believe it was a Firefox bug, and since IE9 still shows the OLD style on iGoogle, it reinforced this belief.
    After reading up on it on the Google forums, and chatting with a great tech support on Mozilla tech, I realized it wasn't Firefox. So you can dismiss this as a human error ;)
    /cheers

  • SunJCE Provider doesn't support RSA for all version of JCE?

    Folks,
    Have browsed through the forum and it seems that the JCE provider bundled with JCE and JDK1.4+ do nothing on RSA. Can I make this conclusion?

    But it seems the SunJCE doesn't provide the RSA (and
    AES, who knows what else is missing) encryption and
    decryption functions. Can anyone list what is missing
    from the SunJCE? Also, from the forum, many have
    pointed to this bounty castle provider. Can any of
    you guys who are familiar with this provider give us
    the procedure of installation? Thanks.I wouldn't use the term 'missing' here. Sun provides some basic cryptographic functions and that all. If you want more, get another provider. Sun will never be able to provide every possible algorithm. That's why they have implemented the external provider option. So no, I cannot list what is missing.
    I can tell you that other providers, for instance BouncyCastle offer much more cryptographic functions. Installation is very easy. Just download the .jar and put it in your <java>\jre\lib\ext directory. After that you can use it in you programs with the following code:
    Provider prov = new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider();
    Security.addProvider(prov);You can also install it so that you don't have use this code in every program that uses the provider. How this is accomplished, can be found in the install manual from BouncyCastle.

  • The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

    Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
    Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
    There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
    Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
    The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
    The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
    I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
    I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

    Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
    The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
    If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?
