XSan/iMovie HD problems - won't render to remote disk, please help!

Without warning last week my g4's started to crash on the simple task of rendering a title in iMovie to the Xsan - then shortly after that the g5's decided to choke on a title render in iDVD. No changes what-so-ever were made to any of the systems, configurations, permissions, settings you name it, one day things are fine and the next yikes! Now I know there have been problems with iMovie writing to remote disk (for instance with the fast/slow/reverse effect which just never did work on the Xsan being a remote disk.) I've worked around it in past this one is rather enormous though - I can only import and export video to the XSan right now. Anything else seems to lead my machines into a full crash, and to make matters worse I've got kids lined up around the block wanting to get in to spruce up their videos right now. We've done a defrag of the XSan and that didn't help, does anyone have any suggestions of advice, it's important that iMovie function with our XSan, since that was why it was purchased initially. Thanks.

So, you're re-sharing the Xsan volume to a bunch of workstations using AFP, or are all these direct attached?
Did the G4/G5 workstations get updated to a newer OS without you knowing? Or a new version of QuickTime?
Do you have a metadata controller and a backup? Try failing the master for the backup.
You could always unmount the volume from all clients, stop the volume and run cvfsk.

More iMovie/XSan problems, now nothing will render from remote disk! help!

Mid last week suddenly without any warning or changes to system, set up or preferences on the XSan or the machines the g4's in my lab stopped having the ability to render titles to the XSan freezing up dramatically, then the G5's then followed suit choking on a iDVD title render. This is bad! I can still import/export video but that's it, yikes help! Please! I've got many, many kids counting on this system working to embelish their video.

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall settings.? IDK if I'm even doing that right. Can anyone help out here?

You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Why would this be covered under warranty? There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

ITUNES WON'T OPEN!!! PLEASE HELP ME I'M GOING INSANE!!

I have a dell computer.. I have Windows XP I got itunes wiht a new ipod mini in the fall. everything was going great, I even upgraded to the new itunes and everything was fine until about a month ago when it just quit on me. when I try to open itunes a message popped up that says:
itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
it says I can send and error report, which I often do. It doesn't say anything of any importance: no numbers, no nothing.
I uninstalled Quicktimes and repaired itunes: didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes from the web 3 times: didn't help, it installed just fine, but itunes wont open.
I read another post and tried to install quick time separately, following the advice to disable all of my virus protecting stuff.. but it said it was interrupted before it was finished installing. I have a quicktime icon in the bottom right hand corner of my screen, it seems to be there on my computer but itunes still won't open.
I am at my wits end. I am not a technologically minded person and am so sick of this, however, I need my music and my ipod working and I want to download tv shows so I won't give up.
if you have any ideas please help!!!

Well, installing over the web is never a good idea
with ANY software...
have you tried disabling your security software,
downloading the installer file to your hard drive,
and running the install?
Then turn your security software back on.
I'm having the same problem with my iTunes not opening and I installed the ewido anti-malware and nothing happened to me either. I'm just wondering how you disable the security software? I'm not too sure that I have one though, because my computer crashed and I don't think we have one installed yet. Please Help! Thanks!

Apps won't work... PLEASE HELP :(

Okay, so I'm having the same problem as most iPod Touch users- my apps don't open, they just go to their 'loading' screen for under a second before returning to the home screen- except I noticed that most people got their iPods for Christmas, so I assume they're all 3rd gen, but I got mine this summer, so it's 2nd gen. Also, some of my songs won't play either. Please help. I've tried restarting my iPod, de- and re-authorizing my computer, and un- and re-installing all of my apps. I'm quite frustrated and any help is definitely appreciated...

IPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to wifi! Please help!

My iPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to my house wifi that it's always connected to. I tried forgetting the network, and putting the password in again, several times. I've tried restarting my iPod, turning the wifi on & off, and also turning the router off and back on but none of this has helped. After I forgot the network and typed the password back in it just kept saying 'loading' and eventually it stops loading but still doesn't connect. It also shows other peoples wifi's but I haven't tried to connect to theres to see if it works. It just started doing this yesterday at this other place I was at but i just figured it was their wifi because when I got home that night it worked just fine but today it started doing it again at my house and I don't know what to do. Please Help!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indiacte a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

PowerBook G4 17 won;t start after upgrading Hard disk Please help!

Hi Folks! need your help in order to diagnose aPowerBook G4 1Ghz Serial V731556CMVZ. It worked perfectly untill start to have problems with hard drive. I bought a new Seagate Momentus 7200RPM and followed the instructions ifixit.com without any problem.
After finishing, the PowerBook won't start. I can not hear any noise form HD, or SuperDrive, no startup chim sound.
I disasembly and assembly again the PB and nothing. I try to reset PRAM SHIFT CTRL ALT POWER and nothing.
It's frustrating. Please Help!

I would make sure the keyboard ribbon is squarely seeded and in the right position. That clip is extremely tiny and fragile. Any damage to it whatsoever could cause major issues. Did it fracture at all during the installation process?
