You got me jerking back and forth

I've been using iMovie since the get-go and this is the worse it's performed. Every shot looks like it was shot 3fps. Even the shots that don't skip are out of sync. The iPhoto slide show looks better.
I add a contrast effect and the audio disappears. No thumbnails appear in the timeline. Whats going on?
It's obvious the people designing iMovie don't enjoy making movies and hate beta testing even more.
Wake me in 2009 when they've figured it out....until then I'm going back to iMovie2.
I was sooo frustrated with iMovie3 five years ago I made a movie about it:

Hi Daniel
iMovie HD are more demanding than iMovie 2 but my guesses are
- something makes read and write to Your hard disk slow
-- repair permissions
-- repair hard disk
- Can it be so that You upgraded to Mac OS X.4 and QT 7 without making
a clean install ? It is the most obvious reason for beachbolling.

  • Blue background when moving my macbook screen back and forth

    When I move my screen past the 90 degree angle, at a certain point, the background on my safari windows will turn a light blue with very small striped lines.  Under words or my mouse, however, the background is still white. 
    Thanks for any help.

    It is an external HD, yes, but a "portable" HD... I have also tried just the external HD but found it very bulky and I always had to lug around the power supply and cords for the HD. Google "portable hard drive passport 500gb"... for example... that's what I use.

    I had originally set up my client files on my desktop... those files not only included the Web site files, but ALL related communication, content, development files (images, videos, Flash). Nothing worse than being away from home and realizing I'd forgotten to take the photo/text/video development files with me. So I just copy/pasted the ENTIRE client file on the the portable drive... which included any DW site files. Now you may have to adjust some drive names (D:, L:, J: or whatever.) but you can hot swap back and forth and always carry the current version with you to whichever computer you are on
    A "portable" HD rather than just an "external"...which may need it's own power supply, means that you can hot swap the HD, just like a thumb drive.... only a heck af a lot BIGGER!
    ....But during testing and set up... always keep a complete backup of ALL files until you get your particular set up working.

  • Moving DreamWeaver website development back and forth between a laptop & desktop?

    Ok, let's say that I've installed DreamWeaver on my laptop and desktop machines.
    I am developing a website on the laptop:  I've created a template, and generated all the children webpages from that template.
    When I update the template - all the children webpages of that template update!  (( This is one of the most powerful features of DreamWeaver, IMO ))
    Now I have decided to move the entire website development over to the Desktop - that mean all the files and folders, as well as the DreamWeaver information regarding the Template and the children webpages that were developed from that template...
    How do you do this? 
    Thanks for any help.

  • The box {cannot use app in safe mode} would you like to temporarily switch, I press continue and it goes to please log in, and these two boxs go back and forth not allowing me to continue the game like farmville etc.

    the dialogue box says {we cannot continue with this app in a secure mode. Would you like to temporarily disable to an unsecured mode and you will be able to use the app at your next log in.} I push the "Continue" button, not the cancel button and it tells me to {Please log in, you are not logged in}. I will then log in and the original window as mentioned above comes back again. These two boxes go back and forth when I try to continue in any of the games on Facebook.

    Hi thanks for all the concern and replies. I've tried all that.
    I had just got it back from the shop last Friday. It was there for around two weeks. It was a faulty GPU (when you see garbled display that's consisten when booting it the GPU). I have a strong feeling it's related to the Lion install 10.7 or 10.7.1 and may be similar to reports of Mac laptops overheating. It's good the GPU is removable, it might have taken 3 week or a month if it had been the whole board.
    It's a blessing in disguise though as with all or most cases because I also got to have the LCD replaced for excessive backlight bleeding (in my opinion), the dead pixel from the previous LCD isn't there anymore (though under the glass there're some smudges but nothing crucial). The backlight bleeding is still the same though in my opinion but at least it's new.
    It's a great thing I bought Applecare. I didn't buy it for the iPhone because that's more durable (my iPhone 3G's 3 years old now and it's still solid. Although there are scratches and a crack at the back at the bottom, got sqeezed under the table I think when I sat). I think Applecare is a good recommend for things that get hot like desktop and laptop Macs(are the iOS considered Macs btw?) which are twice or thrice the price of iOS devices.

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • IPhone 5c got stuck before it started update to iOS 8 and it goes back and forth between Apple logo screen and blank screen

    Hi Mitchblue,
    If your phone is not able to get past the Apple logo, I suggest that you use the following article to help you restore the software in the phone:

  • Are you waiting to get error message, or are you toggling back and forth?

    Just curious of the 'technique' you are using. Are you waiting to get the "network connection was reset" error message or are you just quickly hitting the "i" and "m" keys back and forth?
    I've been doing a little bit of both with NO success.

    I clicked back and forth a couple of times and after the 7th or 8th time I would wait. It finally worked after 30 minutes of doing this. Hope you are up and runnung soon.:)

  • How do you attach multiple pictures to an email? I use yahoo, presently I copy and paste each pic separately , having to go back and forth from my pics and email. I know there's an easier way. I currently use an iPad 2 and this is my first apple product.

  • I use my ipod for audible books downloads. In the past I have been able to move books back and forth from library to ipod according to what I was listening to.  I can no longer retreive books in the library. Any suggestions?

    I use  my 6th generation Ipod strictly for Audible downloads.  In the past, I have been able to move titles back and forth from the Ipod and my Itunes library, to control the amount books on the ipod. Recently, an exclamation mark has appeared next to the titles as I try to transfer to the ipod, and the book does not transfer.  Any suggestions on how to regain access to my purchased library? 

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Can't Remove Underlines in PDF/ Alternating back and Forth!

    Hello All,
    I'm preparing a document that goes out to the entire Rogue Valley
    in Southern Oregon, about 15 towns in the form of 4,000 printed
    documents. I'm behind schedule and ran into a little problem when
    editing.
    1st, this file used to be an Excel file which no longer exists. All the
    text in my PDF document, are contained in boxes.
    I was just about finished and adding some details, (underlining addresses
    to offset 1 meeting schedule from the next), when somehow all my text
    got underlined.
    I thought, ohhh a headache but, I'll highlight all text, click the underline
    button to reverse the effect, and then start underlining individual parts
    again. However, when I tried to do this Adobe Acrobat XI Pro would
    alternate and underline some text while removing it from others, back
    and forth with no absolute method of removing underlines.
    It seems to me that there would be a command to remove all underlines
    regardless of the circumstance?? What the heck, please help?????
    Thanks,

    thank you for that advice. I assumed Adobe pro was like Office on steroids.
    Sounds like there similarities are few and far between but they compliment
    each other, nevertheless? Thanks for the heads up, I'm sure you just saved
    me lot of time and headache!

  • How do I temporairily stop using Fire Fox? I'd like to switch back and forth with IOE.

    When I first got FF, I had to click on the icon to turn it on. That was great. Now it seems to have taken over as my only operating system. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth with IE as I have lots of info located on the hard drive in places which seem easier to get to with IE. When I turn off my computer I click on the FF icon and turn it off, but to no avail. Not only is it there when I start up my machine again, it has saved some of the items which I worked on prior to shuting it down. It's becoming a real pain!!!!

    Just open Internet Explorer! You can even use Firefox and IE at the same time, if you care to - Firefox doesn't stop you from using another browser, either ny itself or when Firefox is running.

  • Switch back and forth from computer to icloud

    Hi everyone, just got myself a 4gb iphone 4s, My question is
    In itunes i have selected to back up some photos and music imported from discs to my computer
    but im thinking of using some of my free 5gb icloud allowance to back up some apps and purchased movies to icloud,
    so if i downloaded some apps and purchased movies to my phone will it let me store these seperately on icloud without
    transferring what i already have backed up on my computer, or if i select back up to icloud after downloading the apps and movies
    will it transfer everything to icloud including what is presently backed up to my computer, can i move back and forth like this
    choosing to back up some but not all content to icloud, Thanks in advance for any help given cheers willdoc.

    HI, I don't think you can backup movies or indeed your personal media in general into iCloud. My understanding is that the iCloud backup of a device will backup application data & settings that would previously have been backed up on a computer. As Winston says you don't have any freedom to move individual files into and out of your iCloud storage.
    Your apps and store purchases other than movies can be downloaded at any time, your non-iTunes-purchased media and any movies need to be backed up locally. Rather than looking at iCloud as a complete backup solution it may be better to treat it as a partial solution which gives you the freedom to access your purchase history (excluding movies) on demand and, if you care to subscribe to iTunes Match, extends that freedom to your non-iTunes-purchased music.
    If your real need is for a backup solution then I'd recommend you look at Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Ah, you fooled me by posting in the iCloud on my Mac forum but I gather from your other posts that you are a Windows user. See this User Tip for a backup strategy...
