Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?
I went through all my old formats (VHS, hi8, miniDV, etc) and captured them. They end up as .mov files. Some of the longer 2hr ones are about 28GB.
If I am making a new project and I want to edit in short clips from several of these longer files, is there a way to save a short clip from an existing file without compressing it any further?
In other words, lets say I have 10 2hr files, but I know I only want 1 minute from each. Is there a way to select the good 1 minute from each .mov file that I want to use and a version of this 1 minute from each in the folder I am working on the project in, without compressing them??? I like to keep all of the content I am working with on a project in its own folder in case the project needs to be moved from one hard drive to the next while I am working on it. I would hate to have to make a folder that is 280GB or more when I only need a minute from each larger file.
I hope I have asked this in a way that is understandable. Maybe there is a term for what I want to do, that I don't know yet that has its own help section too. Thanks for any assistance

Thanks Jon - That's kind of where I started, but the part of that I need help with on is the second to last step.
"Export using a codec that matches the source material. "
The codec they were captured in is .mov at DV quality, but then after picking .mov, there are so many other options to choose from as far as compression goes from sound quality and settings, to how many passes, etc. I just want the new clip to be of the same quality as the original clip. It looks so complicated and its not clear to me what options to pick to match the original.
Is there a setting or preference that helps you to match the compression settings of the original clip? Or is there a way to detect the settings of the original clip so I can repeat that in the shortened clip??

Is there a way to make the icon/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

If you right-click in the top of title bar of any Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

I have a 27" iMac with a broken hard drive. Is there a way to convert the existing hardware into a display monitor without too much technical work?

I have a 27" iMac with a broken hard drive. Is there a way to convert the existing hardware into a display monitor without too much technical work?

You don't state what iMac it is or what you want to use it for an external display with so we cannot answer the question. But without a bootable drive, no you cannot. However you can get the internal HD replaced or you can connect an external HD and boot from it. Without some basics about the computer it's impossible question to answer. However you may find what need in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is there an easy way to make a long chapter into a book with many chapters?

I have a long, book length text file (50 chapters). It's one file in one ID chapter. I would like to make it 50 files in 50 ID chapters in one book (indb). Can that be easily done?
Thanks

You can "move the pages" which make one chapter in your ID file in the new documents and then save the new file, similarly you can do it for the 50 chapters and then compile this 50 chapters together in a book.

With the new iOS 7, in Mail I no longer see the count of emails, is there a way to make that appear?

with the new iOS 7, in Mail I no longer see the count of emails, is there a way to make that appear?

I stopped at the local Apple Store. Three salespeople heard my question and they agreed that the email count is not accesssible in iOS 7. Furthermore, it is not possible to control the number of messages held on the Apple device. It was possible in iOS 6, as one of the salespeople demonstrated. Since that is the case, what is the number of emails stored in iOS 7? If it varies, what determines the number that are stored? I do not want to set up an email account with 7000 to 8000 existing emails and wonder what will happen.

Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?

Hi,
Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?
I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background colour is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?
Also, while I'm here I suggest that when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
^ both the above are frequent tasks for many users
Interested to hear if there's any work arounds to fix this.

Thanks for the tip,
I do use x and shift x and also / to make a no stroke or no fill. But / is a long way across the keyboard. I guess I could reassign that function to a key that's nearer x.
I think the real annoying bit is not only the small size of the two overlapping squares, but the fact that they change size depending on which one is selected. So the button that is not selected is encroached by the one that is selected (and overlaps it). This to me seems counter to interface design - ie, make the switch button smaller. Worse still is the no fill / no stroke button; insanely tiny.
I would gladly redesign this corner of Illustrator for Adobe, and I'm sure quite a few other people would too!

Is there a way to make the Form Wizard group things in the order I want it to?

I am creating a multi-page checklist. Each question has a radio button with the possible answers of yes, no or n/a. When I run the Form Wizard, it detects the boxes I created, in Word using the Developer, but it puts all the yes's in a group, all the no's in a group and leaves the n/a's out. Is there a way to make it so when the Form Wizard creates the radio buttons, it puts a yes, no and n/a in one group? I don't want to have to create a sepearte group for each question. These checklists are long and there are hundreds of questions.

The auto field detection feature is designed to look for Yes/No text labels next to each radio button group -- not specifically n/a. Do you have a group label to the left or above each group? This is how each group is determined -- if it's not there they'll default to check boxes. For more detail on how the auto field detection feature works, check out the tutorial Designing Forms for auto field detection. Also, there were a few improvements in the 9.2 release, so make sure you're using this point release or later.

Is there a way to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool...

Is there a way to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool
that will install successfully into the personal store in IE?

hi,
It is possible to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool and i am successfully using in my dummy application.
The first thing you need to do is create a keystore and generate the key pair. You could use a command such as the following:
keytool -genkey -dname "cn=Mark Jones, ou=JavaSoft, o=Sun, c=US"
-alias business -keypass kpi135 -keystore C:\working\mykeystore
-storepass ab987c -validity 180
(Please note: This must be typed as a single line. Multiple lines are used in the examples just for legibility purposes.)
This command creates the keystore named "mykeystore" in the "working" directory on the C drive (assuming it doesn't already exist), and assigns it the password "ab987c". It generates a public/private key pair for the entity whose "distinguished name" has a common name of "Mark Jones", organizational unit of "JavaSoft", organization of "Sun" and two-letter country code of "US". It uses the default "DSA" key generation algorithm to create the keys, both 1024 bits long.
It creates a self-signed certificate (using the default "SHA1withDSA" signature algorithm) that includes the public key and the distinguished name information. This certificate will be valid for 180 days, and is associated with the private key in a keystore entry referred to by the alias "business". The private key is assigned the password "kpi135".
Also please go through the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html
This would help u better.

Is there a way to make a photo print bigger?

I have a client who would like to create a banner that is 6x5 feet. She supplied me with a very high quality photo that she'd like printed on the banner. Ideally, it would fill up most of the banner. The file size of the photo is 670 mb. In Photoshop's "Image Size" window, it says that it's 12960 x 8640 pixels, 36 x 24 inches, and 360 ppi.
Is there some way to make this photo display larger, short of taking a new photo with a higher resolution? What happens if I up the resolution in the "Image Size" window?
Also wondering why this file would be 670 mb but only 36x24 inches in size... It doesn't seem to add up to me...
Hope someone's got some advice!
Thanks!
~ Sarah

Sarah,
To print at 6' x 5' you need an image of between 290 and 400 dpi to print on a large format printer at a viewing distance of 2'. That close and one cannot take in the full banner/poster. At 4' viewing distance the "perfect" dpi drops to a DPI of between 150 and 200 dpi. Your image is going to print at an effective long-edge PPI of 180 when you double its current size from 3' to 6'.
12960px / 360dpi = 36 inches
8640px / 360dpi = 24 inches
That is a spreadsheet I wrote for such things. One should/has to take into account the viewing distance on large format printing.
Take care, Mike

__Is there a way to make a multi-layer Ai file into a multi-page PDF? (1 layer per page)

__Is there a way to make a multi-layer Ai file into a multi-page PDF? (1 layer per page)
thanks

Definitely can be done.
In CS 4 you create an artboard for each page and the position the art for the corresponding page on the corresponding artboard and make a layer for that art. This way it does not even matter if the layer s are properly layered when saving the pdf. Just as long as the artboards are.
CS 3 and earlier back a larger document that can be divided into whole pages by turning on tiling and using the page tool position that art.
Position the art for each page over the designated artboard make a layer for each pages art now when you export the with tiling on and you wll get a multi page pdf.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or ?

This may be a stupid question. I am hooking my MBP to my lcd tv. When I first connected the television, my tv displayed the message "mode not supported". Having played a little at this I simply went to my display preferences and looked at what resolution was running to my tv. (I have my display preferences in the toolbar) It was running 1920x1080 at 60Hz and right above that there was another 1920x1080 at 60Hz so I clicked on that and my external display lit right up. (Turns out the second resolution's refresh rate is actually 59.9Hz) So no problem right? Well I use this set up as sort of a media center so I like to run my MBP with its lid closed. When I close the lid, and rewake the MBP, my television gives me the message "mode not supported". So there is a signal but the tv can't display it. This leads me to believe that when I close the lid on my MBP it decides to run at the 60Hz as opposed to the functional 59.9Hz. The problem is I can't see the display to change the resolution or refresh rate. Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or refresh rate? I have tried changing it before I close the lid. I have tried it in mirrored display mode. Nothing works so far. Please Help!

Not really. In the Displays preferences you can only check the option to show supported resolutions, but that only will be present with another display connected (I believe.) On laptops it isn't an option, obviously, but it may be present once you connect an external display.
You might try using the shareware utility SwitchResX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).
