When trashing preferences the custom commands appear to be deleted.
Is there any way to preserve them other than by making a copy of the preferences whilst OK?
P.S. I know Preference Manager can save good preferences.

I am having weird problems with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and it's functionality with Snow Leopard.
Based on feedback I found online, I am being told to delete the com.apple.FinalCut Preferences and the /User Data folder. Still, I have to do that repeatedly. Whenever I open the Project file externally , FCP jams. Afterwards, it won't start up again.
Also, it is claiming not to recognize an DVCPro HD 1080i60 connection ; although, this is the same camera on my G5 Mac with FCP 5.1.4 and OSX Tiger

Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so how, to stop my iMac from registering when I use my little white Apple remote (the one that comes with iMac, AppleTV etc)? Reason being when I go to run through my AppleTV menu my iMac registers each press as well.
I have the Remote app for my iPhone and iPad but I'd rather be able to use the Apple remote aswell for quick pauses etc., so as to not have to load the app just to pause, skip etc., if I'm using my iPhone/iPad for something else at the time.
I would like to create a custom title, specifically some type of image that rolls up on the lower third of the screen and contains some text appropriate for where it appears in the video. Reuse is desirable like all the existing titles. Can something like this be done within fcpx? Or is this something that I need to purchase Motion to make and then "import" into fcp?

Although all my Mail preferences are set to 'never delete', periodically my entire Inbox and Sent folders get completely emptied out, every email deleted. The many emails I have in folders are untouched. I need to refer often to my sent mail and this is causing large problems as you'd imagine - as is losing my Inbox contents before I've dealt with them all.

After a lot of fruitless time-consuming crap including reinstalling my OS and deleting all my preferences, they created a new useraccount and it didn't have the problem. So they said I should just make a new account and migrate everything over there and use that.
Well, I've spent the last 8 hours trying to put everything to rights after everything they did to my computer. And I got most things taken care of. However, when in iTunes (which I had to reload my entire library into), I find that I can't edit information on any of the songs. I looked into file info and even though I told it to "apply to enclosed items" when I gave the new account read/write permission and transferred ownership.... it didn't do it. The files within the folders are still set as being owned by the old account, which, I assume, is why I can't edit them.
There has to be a way to fix this that doesn't involve going through 14,000 songs and individually changing their permissions settings, but I can't find it.
I am running version 10.6.3 and if anybody could send me the system preferences that would be great =]

I read somewhere that deleting the content from those folders would speed up your Mac, which I believed until I did so...I emptied my trash, and everything was running smoothly for a few minutes...now my mac is EXTREMELY slow, it take FOREVER to open Applications and Documents, the volume keys are messed up and don't even work, I click it and 10 minutes later it responds...and everything is messed up! I thought if I gave it time, it will go back to normal, but no, it's been 4 days and nothing!
I don't have Time Machine set, nor do I have OS X Snow Leopard disk. Is there a way to solve this problem without buying a new disk? My parents lost the old disk, and we aren't financially comfortable right now..
I have been editing my latest independent film for the last six months. Taken three months longer because there’s lots of effects and plug-ins and FCP7 would crash literally every 3 minutes, using up memory. I was just ready to output my movie after six months and a site told me to use the render manager to delete unused renders. Well, it deleted ALL my renders on all sixteen separate files of the film (had to have that many project files because of memory and crashing problems). Now I’ve lost my entire six months work and can’t re-render because the software and plug-ins won’t let me, and many of the plug-in licenses (expensive) like Sapphire have expired.
Is there anyway to get my render files back or am I dead in the water. Literally I will be dead in the water because they can’t be re-render because of the FCP 7 issues.
The Destinations button is not in my Preferences for FCPX. I cannot Share/Export any projects. What would cause this?

Has anyone figure out how to stop that annoying loop in system preferences that says settings have been changed??I can get out of it by a two handed click on the OK button and locations but then it just comes back. I don't want to delete all the info on there and have to retype in.I'm only finding old posts back in 2008 on this! Am I that far behind??I was hoping a permanent easy fix has been found by now. I haven't had the need to get into System pref.

Tried deleting preferences - same thing.
Uninstalled app as per Apple Support Document, then reinstalled from App Store - same thing.
Tried launching by double-clicking on a library from a previous version - eventually got to a screen asking me to select a library; when I did, app Crashed.
Tried restoring 10.1.1 from Time Machine backup -> this worked, and the 10.1.1 ran fine.
Then updated from App Store - back to splash screen dead stop problem.
Repaired permissions, verified disc, booted up in recovery mode and tended to disc - no change in behavior.

When I try to play a video in the web browser, the video won't load. It stays blank and sound plays ok.After posting this here, I was told to erase my quicktime preferences file. It works and the problem is solved - but only temporarily. Minutes later, it happens again. I'm sick of erasing this file all the time. What can I do?!

I tried IPCONFIG in Terminal, but it just gives me "IPCONFIG <command> where command is " a whole bunch of commands.
I found some information in another thread that instructed one to write some commands in terminal but I have never used terminal and have no idea what I actually need to write.Can anyone please advise me on how to translate the instructions into what exactly should be typed into terminal?Spaces, special characters, anything?All I know how to do is start the app and then I am faced with some text and characters that are already on the screen.The instructions were:Open a Terminal and run some commands:cd /replace/this/with/the/path/to/contents/of/extracted/zip/file/ #this path probably is Downloads/360ControllerInstallsudo sh 360ControllerInstall.sh
terminal isn't working. It's not accepting any of my commands or even recognizing them as such. And it just opens up to a blank terminal window. Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it supposed to open usr/bin/login?
