    When I tried to copy a large file to a new drive I got Error Code 1309 which shows I have the wrong format on the drive. Checking out Disk Utilities I see I can erase and format. I should choose Mac OS Extended, right, and when I click erase it reformats to my chosen option, correcto? Any...

    Monitor not recognizing Power Mac?

    I have an NEC MUltiSync FE991SB monitor that I used with a Power Mac G4 (OS9). Neither has been turned on awhile until today. The monitor won't come on with the picture, the light that is green is instead blinking yellow. Any ideas on what to do to make them connect properly? I used to...

    Refining search

    Hi, When I'm looking on my mac for a document or maybe something specific in my notes and I do a search for say "all the world", it appears I get all things that have any of those words. Is there a way to search for just "all the world" where all three must be together like on the web? I...

    Can I re-install FCP 5.1.4 after FCS 2 upgrade?

    In looking at an old project after upgrading to FCS 2 I saw differences that I wouldn't have to bother dealing with if I had a version of FCP 5.1.4 around. Is it a problem to re-install? I thought of moving FCS 2 (esp FCP & Compressor) out of applications and installing fcp 5.1.4 and...

    Roxio Madness

    I've been prepping for clean install by copying important files to dvd using Roxio Toast. Long story short, I also added material from other drives. Once I did, and then deleted trash, I found my MB Pro's hard drive listing 1.77 gb available. At least 40 gb less than before. I used apple+i to...

    Copying results in huge size differences in files

    With FCS 2 causing headaches, I'm considering a clean install. But copying files to another drive I noticed the new size quite a bit larger than the original. Any reason for that? It certainly makes me wary of what's happening to my precious files! best, elmer

    Compressor won't submit

    Having just installed FCS2, I tried to export from FCP to Compressor, but after prepping, when I hit submit I received this message: "Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct." I tried the first, didn't work. I don't know how to do the second. Any...

    FCS2 - FCS1 = how much actual space taken up?

    Having installed everything I wanted from the previous suite, and will install the same ones this time too, and since all previous apps are to be erased, including gigs and gigs of STPro (Loops, et al), GarageBand and DVDSP, I expect the actual increase in space used won't be that much. Does...

    .ext not showing up in exported movies

    Hello, This will not end my world but I was wondering why, despite not having checked 'hide extension' when exporting movies from FCP 5, the movie appears without its extension? Did I check something accidentally somewhere, and how do I uncheck? thanks, elmer

    .m2v directly into Toast?

    Hello Everyone Who Ever Logged On Here, My first time, with a couple questions. Can I take an m2v file, drop it on Toast (5) and burn a DVD? Or use disk utilities and create a .dmg file? Import into iDVD and burn? I have an hour-long doc. I exported the m2v from FCP 5. I'm using a...
