Working out where it ends

Ok, so after moving an Object (photo) with one of the motion path effects, is there any way of working out the coordinates of where the picture ends up?
I have a photo of a landscape, I create an highlight box followed by some lines to enlarge it (much the same as the zoom tool but without using it) and I then have a clip taken from a much higher resolution version of the original photo which is zoomed in further and create the zoom effect.
I then fade everything out except the clip and motion path it from right to left. I then want to do the fake zoom effect again using a proper high resolution version of the object that is photographed. I just cannot work out where to put the "zoom lines" as I can't work out where it ends up!
Is there a way of working it out or is it all done by eye?
I can't even go to the next slide and put the clip in and start again as I still have to line it up by eye!
Thoughts?
Regards

Unfortunately Captivate Effects don't give you the same level of control over this type of thing as you get in products like Flash for example. There's nowhere on the interface to see the and final X or Y coordinates of the image, only it's starting point before the effect kicks in.
I think lining things up by eye might be your only recourse.

How do I work out where I am in a music track?

There doesn't seem to be a display to indicate where you are in a music track. I have tried portrait and landscape mode - the latter doesn't even allow you to fast forward or rewind. I've looked in the settings and can't find anything appropriate there either.
In short music tracks, this isn't too much of a problem, but in longer pieces of music or podcasts, it makes it impossible to find a particular bit you want to listen to.

In vertical screen mode with album cover displayed, tap near the center of the album cover. When you lift your finger, you will see the track position slider appear near the top of the screen. Tap again to hide it.

Siri can't work out where I live - can I show her manually in Maps?

When I ask Siri to remind me to do something "when I get home" she keeps telling me "I can remind you when you leave or arrive somewhere: here, home etc" but its never resolved. I've put my postcode in my contact details but I think that because I live in the middle of nowhere she's having trouble pin-pointing where I live. Can I manually place a pin in Maps and link it to my contact so she knows exactly where I live? Thanks for your help x

The correct way to target instances m1 thru m10 using bracket notation would be...
this["m"+i]
or even more correctly...
this["m"+String(i)]

I'm mixing tracks together and can't work out where the volume and BPM control for each Track is located

Which Table would be the best for mixing tracks together? I've been off the game for a bit and have forgotten, but last time i made a good mix tape from the New project table....
Where do i go to match up the BPM for each track i lay to match up?
How do i get the Volume line to pop up on each track so i can fade accordingly?
Thank you to those who can help out

Search - anyone know how it's worked out?

Hi,
We use site search on our website to show products (we can't use product search as we can't track what is being searched on - long story!).
The site search results are a complete mess - does anyone know how it's worked out?
I contacted support and they didn't know the algorithm.
The issue is when we search the word "home spray" it doesn't show the products with home spray in the name first.
Instead it ranks other products higher that don't even have home spray in the keyword, or in their name, or even in their description..
BC support said it searches each word separately but again doesn't know whether it searches the keywords first or the description, or the tags etc. It makes no sense on why and how the results order is chosen. We tried even
Does anyone know the ranking process for search results?

Hi Liam. Yes
The order they display is just so random and we've tried everything over the past few days to work out where the order comes from and why some are displayed first when the obvious choices are last.

I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited. Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment. Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly? (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote)

Thanks very much, varjak paw. I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over. They all show the same location:
Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step? or somewhere else I should look?
And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs. I am embarrassed that I didn't know. I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac? (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
Thank you again for your help.

Nike + does not end work out at designated distance or time

I've stopped using the verbal notification of milestones on my Nano (4G) because it would reset the entire iPod Nano mid-workout. Now that I've been able to get through an entire work out, I've noticed that I'll reach the pre-designated distance, say 5k, and the workout would not end unless I tell it to end manually. This requires me to constantly check my iPod, which is part of the reason I use the Nike +. Why does it not end the work out? Is there a cool down period and just not realizing it?

Duh, I just realized that with DSL I won't have wifi for my phone. I have seen some people mention specific ATT routers. Can someone help me? Ugh!

The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.

Thankfully No.

OK, solved my own problem, but am posting here in case someone else has the same problem. It totally does not make sense, especially considering that it stopped after I reinstalled Lion, but the good thing is I have my files back.
I scoured the web and found a lot of other people are having the same problem. Most of them didn't have a clue how to fix it. This discussion was the most helpful to me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2569766?start=30&tstart=90
So, I went to the WD page and followed the instructions. The first suggestion was to plug it directly into a wall, because it may not be getting enough power from a power cord. I did this and it fixed the problem. Who would have guessed?
Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, go to your manufacturer's website for help. Here's WD's help: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1164/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvd GltZS8xMzI2MzIzMjUwL3NpZC82dmo0blZOaw%3D%3D

Help Please - on a VC that works out of the box with MAC before I sellup

I have to declare that I’m somewhat frustrated at the moment and I could do with some good advise please bare with me while I explain.
I have recently converted from all types of PC systems and MS OS to Apple. The conversion was based on a few drivers.
1, My wife finally has decided to “learn” how to do her own web work instead of asking me to look up this or that for her. So as she was starting from scratch I thought MAC.
2, At the same time I had a play with Vista at work and disliked it. I was using XP & W2K at the time.
3, I wanted to update my home hardware, which was 3 years old.
4, The accountant said I hadn’t spent enough on IT last year.
5, New project work in the planning that required video/audio work to upload onto the web and everyone said MAC was the best.
So having looked around and done what I thought was enough research I started investing. To date I’ve invested £4500 plus.
Started by buying
iMAC 24” 2.8 Gz Intel with 4GB ram (for the home office)
MacBook Pro 2.4 with 4GB ram (for out and about working)
iPHONE 16GB (which is great)
VMware Fusion was installed for those things that I couldn’t live without until I found a suitable replacement like MS Money, Paint Shop Pro, MS Office etc. Installed XP.
Tried Open Office found it to clunky and hard work working off files for MS Office that others sent/required. Ended up buying Office 2008 only to find VB macros don’t work in Excel and all my company spreadsheets still need PC MS Excel to run so back into XP via Fusion.
Then to MAIL which is great on the iPHONE as I can easily monitor my 5 email accounts, what a result. But now I come to attach JPG files as I would in outlook and they open into the content of text in the mail and will not stay closed but disrupt the message. Wholly unacceptable to my way of working with no cure.
Scanning next, so I down loaded GIMP to replace PSP which I find useless so back to PSP I go again via XP & Fusion.
Next and finally the VC project, Now please bare in mind that all I want to do is shoot film, upload it to edit it and then mount it on the web page. I have no desire to become any form of expert in the field just get the job done.
So reviewed iMovie to understand the spec. Realise it has limitation and reviewed FCE which seems to plug the gaps and boarders on being more professional.
At this point I must say I’m not totally new to this subject as I have used Studio8 and a JVC GR-DVL166EK video cam a couple of years ago and got on ok without any issues simple plug and play with great results.
Having reviewed the standards that the software is reported to work too without any publicly declared exclusions or exceptions by Apple I went shopping for the VC. (I didn’t know of the forum at the time and to the best of my knowledge Apple don’t advise of its existence in any product information on anything I have bought.)
I buy a Panasonic HDC-HS9 for £700 which doesn’t flaming work despite the fact that it should based on all the standards quoted by both manufactures and there are no disclaimers from either party that it won’t work.
I have reviewed the compatibility list on the support page (now I know its there) and find that the Panasonic HDC-SD5 does work. I reviewed the comprehensive detailed model spec on the Panasonic web site and there is no differences between the to models at all accept the HDD.
So why don’t it work?
*At the end of the day can anyone please recommend a VC that will produce high quality results without the need of a 3rd party software to connect and upload files convert and muck about instead of getting on with the job.*
And if all the publicised specs don’t allow you to conclude compatibility how can you protect your investment? Where do we legally stand and where is the accountability to the consumer.
<edited by host>
I am that fed up with the last 3 months of mucking about Bill Gat*es may just get me back.
Thanking anyone in anticipation for some meaning advise and help.
Regards
Alan

Hi, and thanks for you interest. The problems is that whether I'm using iMovie or FCE I get to a stage where the thumbnail image is present but if you try to play, import or any other action in either app it closes down and a message comes up " The Application Final Cut Express/iMovie quit unexpectedly - Mac OS X and other application are not affected" then asks if I wish to relaunch. I then hit the report to Apple button and afterwards relaunch. I was recommended to use Voltaic which I have tried, it worked but is to much mucking about for something that should work out of the box.
This problem happens on both the iMAC and the MacBook so quite sure it's not a OS software issue. All software update are up to date also.
Any ideas?

How do I find out where FCP saved my captured media?

I'm editing a project and my original source capture on one of my clips needs to be recaptured because of some corruption on the very front part of the file which is making it impossible to insert any of the video track from this capture into my timeline (audio works fine for some reason).
Anyhow, I need to recapture from scratch all of this footage (about 40 mins) so I'm trying to figure out how to find out exactly where my corrupt footage is so I can delete it from my drive so it's not taking up tons of space unnecessarily. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out where this was put by FCP. Anyone know how to figure out where it went?
Thanks.
iMac 15 (original flat screen model from 2002) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

This is after you have searched using the file name and you've looked in the location you set in Scratch Disks?
If all else fails, look in the FCP application Package. For some odd reason, occasionally files end up there.

Many of my songs are incomplete and will cut out towards the end

I've had this problem for several years now. I have over 4,000 songs (most of which were purchased through iTunes and the rest imported from CDs). A lot my songs will play for a little while and cut out at the end. Sometimes it's just silence but lately the next song will just start playing. When I go into my iPhone to check it out it still has the album artwork and everything from the previous song.
I've contacted support several times about this over the years. The first time I was told to connect to my computer and reload all my songs. This seemed to fix many of the songs but then I would notice other songs had the problem. I was then told to redownload all of my purchases and to sync again. Same thing happened. It seemed alright for a while until the same problem occured. The third time I tried to get it fixed I was advised to delete the song from my phone and redownload it through the iTunes app. This seemed to fix each individual song (though its not very practical). But now even that no longer works. I delete the song and redownload it only to find that it still skips to the next song without registering it. It's driving me nuts and, while I can't prove it, I'm pretty sure the problem is growing. I notice songs that played fine a few weeks ago do the same thing. Considering the amount of money I've spent purchasing music it's maddening not being able to listen to a complete song.
Is there any fix for this? I've found similar posts but no new advice. Any help that anyone can provide would be welcome.
Some additional info...this happened when I had my iPod touch, my iPhone 4 and now my iPhone 5. My software is up to date.
Thanks.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select the Downloads widget near the top-right (iTunes 11) or in the entry in the left-hand column (older iTunes) and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

My mac air says hard drive full and 90% is full of 'other' which I cant work out what 'other' is as i Have transferred most to my external hard drive

My mac air says hard drive full and 90% is full of 'other' which I cant work out what 'other' is as i Have transferred most to my external hard drive.
Do you know how I can tell how large each file is taking up and what my 'other' category could be?
thanks

Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
- Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
Empty the Trash.
- Start iPhoto.
Empty its trash.
Restart.
Backup:
Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions. You will need one external hard drive for your Time Machine (or other) backup and a second if you plan to offload some files. (See suggestions for where to purchase hard drives at the end of this message.)

Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6031
Deleting files:
Then use the free application OmniDiskSweeper http://www.omnigroup.com/more to explore your volume in descending order by size so you can attack the problem from the top down, deleting the largest unwanted files first. Delete with caution and do not delete any system files. Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
Additional reference on freeing disk space:
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
Offloading files:
Consider moving some of the no-often-used large files or directories to an external disk. Use ODS again to find them. This will be at least your second hard drive. Your first one(s) is/are for your Time Machine (or other) backup(s). Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.
Format the second drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Using OWS to find large files/folders and copy them from the system drive to the external hard drive and delete them from your internal drive.
Then  > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.
Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.
