XL2 shot 16:9 24p What import setting, can I bring in 4:3 and what about PS

I shot footage with an XL2 at 2:3:3:2 16:9 24p. I imported to FCP5.1 as anamorphic. Correct? Yes or no. I shows as 16:9 in the viewer.
Can I bring in clips shot with an XL1s at 4:3? Can I letterbox to make it "look" 16:9? What will happen when I compress?
Lastly. . . I need to bring in some images from Photoshop, but when I do it squeezes them at the sides, distorting them. I tried creating the images with PS set to a widescreen document, but still squoosh.
HELP!!

Can I bring in clips shot with an XL1s at 4:3?
Yes.
Can I letterbox to make it "look" 16:9?
Letterbox is a black stripe at top and bottom which is applied to a 4:3 clip in a 4:3 Sequence to give the impression of 16:9.
Use the Widescreen Filter in Effects > Video Filters > Matte.
If you want to import 4:3 into a 16:9 Sequence you will need to scale it to fill the sides and pan up or down to optimize picture framing
What will happen when I compress?
Provided you use the correct compression setting, nothing will happen to the aspect ratio if that is what you mean.
I need to bring in some images from Photoshop, but when I do it squeezes them at the sides
Press Command and 9 keys to call up Item Properties. Click in the Clip column, next to Anamorphic to place a check mark there.

My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
Thanks

either something got damaged when you installed the hard drive or you need to perform a pram reset (other possibilites could have occured, these are the ones I think)

I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

What is a good defragmenting software for the mac, and what is the price ranges if there are mutiple ones?

I have had my mac for about a 1 year 5 months, coming onto 6 months. And I want to keep it running in top shape, or as close as it can get. I Am just wondering what is are good softwares for defragmenting a Macbook and what are the price ranges, and what are the recommendations. Which would you rate from best to worst in other words.

First Mac OS X doesn't need defragged. If your harddrive is ~80% full heavy downloading could hurt disk performance but I'd say you're in the clear. If Apple considered defragging a necessity they would have included it into Disk Utility.

What exact metals are used in the iPod 5 and what for?

what exact metals are used in the iPod 5 and what for?

Hey Connor and Josh, The same kind of metals that are found in pretty much all electrics. Aluminum, Gold, Copper, Solder, (I would guess lead free). You will also find plastics and resins, glass and Li-ion, carbon, and silicon. Why do you ask? If your thinking of stripping one down for the metals, it's not worth it, there so little in there it will cost you more to separate the metals than there value by weight. Cheers.

How can I disable the 'First Run' and 'Whats New' pages from showing after updating Firefox for all users that log onto a system.

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

What keeps hijacking my Firefox in several different ways and what can I do about it?

I would like to know who/what/how hijacks my homepage and changes it into something I don't want? It was just changed to Roboform, which is an add-on that I have but it has never hijacked me before and I don't think Roboform did it.
I just recently "restored" my Firefox because all sorts of ?malware? were hijacking me and creating new tabs that wanted me to download various things. I used my IE8 for a while researching my Firefox issue and running 3 different virus/malware removal programs. After everything looked good there I added back my Roboform to the "restored" firefox and everything was good until now.
I see I still have Adobe add-ons. I have been very suspicious of Adobe, Java and Google. I still have some unwanted additions that Google downloaded that I can't seem to get rid of even when I do an uninstall. OTshot is one of them. Since so many applications require Java and Adobe, I would also like to know if there is a way to use any of them without running the strong risk of malware?
It is interesting to me that IE8 didn't have any problems with the malware before I removed it. IE8 has lots of other problems though and IE9 never upgrade successfully, which is why I now use Firefox.
Thanks

When add-ons upgrade, they often open a page to tell you about their new features, but this should be in addition to your home page, in a separate tab. This is designed to be a one-time event, and you won't find that page listed when you check your home page setting in the Options dialog. Does that sounds consistent with what happened?
Some users got Otshot (Hotshot) last year when installing an unofficial distribution of Firefox. If you see that, you should clean it out. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/954851 when i installed firefox i also got something called Otshot. it's not in my directory of programs. how do i uninstall it?].

Can I purchase FiOS Internet alone, and what are the costs associated with it?

There is no FiOS available in my area currently, but is expected to become available soon. This is my question, when my brother signs up for the bundle, (television, telephone, and internet), is it possible to add another FiOS internet line (we prefer to have separate internet connections), and ONLY internet, without telephone and television? If so, what are all the costs, such as if I need to get another telephone line to facilitate FiOS internet?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

FIOS is fiber to the premise, you do not have to have a phone circuit. Tekephone and Data, and Video if available in your area, are available bundled or as seperate packages. Call your local sales office or go to www.verizon.com/fios for prices
You can not have two data circuits on one account, so you will need a seperate ONT unless you live in an apartment building and they hav a Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) Optical Terminal installed.
If you want two seperate routers on one circuit you can do that, but Verizon does not support it, you would have to set it up yourself.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

What is the best easy setup for d600 nikon. and what is the best export for hd movie, 11 min ?

i'm exporting my movie in mpeg4, 1960X1080, for streaming.
all the movie is going well, but there is some cubes in the sky, and also, some frames jumpes.
I treid few times, but its always the same.
Thank you,Lena

You should transcode the Nikon clips to Pro Res 422 before you import them to your project. That can be done in Compressor or MPEG Streamclip. Let FCP automatically determine the best sequence settings, based on your first clip. Export your project as Quick Time Movie, current settings. If you need an MP4 with h.264, MPEG Streamclip can make it for you.

My bookmarks just vanished.Now I can't bring them back no matter what I try.

One day I was adjusting my current window open so I could continue with my project.I don't know how but my bookmarks just vanished.I found where they are but I couldn't put them back where they belong.Why and how do I put them back?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

What is involved in fixing the kernel task problem and what are the consequences

Ah yes. The kernel task problem. My Macbook pro encounters it at least once every day. It peaks at around 600% CPU usage when I have MainStage or Logic open. A main stage patch that normally uses 40-45% of CPU is redlining at 100% cpu usage- resulting in awful clicks and pops. Did i mention this happened during a live show yesterday? Because it did. I can open the CPU monitor and look at whats going on. It's always the same deal. Kernel task runs it's course and then goes back to normal.
I've seen various posts on fixing the problem. I believe I understand how to fix it more or less (ish). I just want to make sure I can go about it in such a way that doesn't mess with anything else on my computer.
My computer: macbook pro 8.2 15' w/ crucial m500 ssd in main & optical bays. 8gb of ram. latest version of mavericks. Standard stuff.

Your unsupported hardware configuration is likely contributing to the problem, if not entirely causing it.
