I had to go out on Saturday because my hard drive died and I needed a replacement. I could have used a little help.

animated texture

Here's my problem. I'd like my motion to look seemless like I comped in Photoshop, but when I'm in After Effects, I can't get this to tile properly. I'm open to any tips. I tried searching but couldn't word it without getting dumb results.

Time Machine: drive full

I have a 1 TB drive for Time Machine backups. Eventually it filled up and I was fine with that. I doubt I'll need anything from many months ago.

I used it to restore a new drive from an old backup this morning. Now, I repeatedly get an error message about the drive being full.

This is blatant dorknology because before my crash, Time Machine would automatically delete the oldest content to make room for new backups. When I click OK to get Time Machine preferences, there's only an option to omit or include drives.

What happened to the delete oldest stuff option?

Mac won't start

I have a 3 year old Mac Pro that won't boot up and continually gets the ? icon when starting. I booted from the installer and when I go to Disk Utility the main drive isn't even recognized.

If I install the OS all over again, will I be able to bring everything back with Time Machine or will I have to get my programs back with installers? Aside from that how screwed am I?

Tech support

I've gotten quick, helpful tech support from three different sources for three different issues. Does this mean Jesus is coming?

AE: Convert to editable text

This applies to text layers imported from Photoshop.

Is there any reason this move in After Effects leaves behind a copy of the non text version of the layer?

Is there any reason it only happens some times?

Is there any reason a text layer isn't created by default? Who wants text you can't work with?

AE copying layers to new aep

There must be a reasonable way to copy layers from one project file to a new aep without getting Missing Footage errors and stupid empty icons.

Am I missing something?

iOS 4.2 AirPlay stopped working

I was trying to get some VNC to work on my iPhone unsuccessfully and I think I mess up my Airport Express. It's a recent one, so it's 802.11n.

Anyone else have any trouble with this?

Freedom Tunnel, NYC

City people, can someone tell me how to get there?

It runs under Riverside Park, but I'm Lower East Side and that's Upper West Side, the opposite of my universe bearings. I'm as lost as Kramer in the Nexus.

Eyewonder killed two Macs

Anyone ever have any issues related to Eyewonder killing off large percentages of your computer?

This happened while trying to upload/test an ad through the Adwonder Flash component.

This affected two computers in our office.

Actionscript loading swf into a container

I'm loading in a swf. I need to run an enterframe script to know when the loaded swf reaches totalFrames. The movie loads just fine, but when I try to trace out any properties of the loaded movie, (currentFrame compared to totalFrames) everything craps out.

Here's my code.
http://pastebin.com/zRuVSkRi

It shouldn't be impossible to control a loaded movie after loading it and getting it to play but I've been stumped for hours on this.

Any clues as to where I went wrong?

Favor please?

Can someone save this Flash CS5 file down to Flash CS4 for me? I worked on it at home and we haven't upgraded at work. (Plus my CS5 trial ran out.)

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm missing something, but can anyone get this form to work.

If not, can you refer me to a tutorial, example or any words of wisdom that actually works?

Please no anti-Flash silliness. Thanks.

iTunes 10.1 upgrade killed my multiple speakers

After upgrading my Mac OS and iTunes, I can't check my Airport Express speakers in iTunes. There's nothing on the web since most people probably haven't upgraded yet.

Anyone have this problem?
