New version is it worth it

Is it worth upgradeing to iLife 06? What is the diffrence?

Hello, Dupont 24,
Bengt is absolutely correct. Examine your own needs, and stick with what works for you.
I have not upped to v6 yet, because I am using iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and iDVD together to create my DVDs of our family photos and videos. I like the way they integrate well in version 5. I have not yet seen any posts that describe success in iLife 6 with what I am doing. I have about 7 more years worth of photos and videos to put onto creative DVDs before I will consider upgrading from v5. (I actually was fine w/ version 4. It worked well for me).
I like the idea of the more creative themes in iMovie 6. I am thinking of upgrading after I finish scanning all my photos and finishing DVDs with them. Then, when I have archived all my old photos in iPhoto, I will upgrade. I think that with my digital photos it will be easier to spend time learning iLife 6 (or 7?). Right now, I need to keep scanning the photos steadily and I don't want to take the time to deal with 'work-arounds' with audio, stills, jerky playback, etc. I want to make my DVDs. Because I am scanning the photos, editing them and then putting them with videos into iMovies, the process takes a lot of time. When I reach the year 2001, nearly all the photos are already in my computer, already edited and are ready to go. Then I will be more able to try the new iLife!

I've tried the new iWork and feel cheated. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

I've tried the new iWork (on a friend's new MacBook Pro) and feel very disappointed. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Dear Apple, from a veteran user: In your rush to market, you have dropped the basket on this one! Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A lot of users have complained about the lack of features of the new iWork version. However, I'm sure Apple will add features with more updates in the future, like with Final Cut Pro X. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Until then, you can carry on using iWork '09, or try Microsoft Office 2011 or even LibreOffice, which is free and open-source

New OSX version release date - worth postponing purchase?

I was wondering if there is any information on the date of release of new version (10.5) of OSX? Thought it could be worth postponing purchase of new imac g5, if the date is 1-2 months away.
Thank you in advance.

I agree with Dave. Buy a computer now if you really need one and enjoy it! There is always something different, or better, around the corner. You could always "wait" for the next big thing, and never actually make a purchase.
Late next year is when 10.5 should come out, and it is something I look forward to along with the Intel based Macs. But I needed a comuter now since the logic board on my old iBook died, so it was time to buy. I could have limped along with an old PC for awhile, but decided to get what I really wanted, and start enjoying it.
Hopefully 10.5 will be more than worth the purchase price when it arrives.

TS1717 i tried to install a new version of iTunes on my PC (Vista) and it wouldn't install. Today, I was looking for my iTunes, and somehow it was erased form my computer, along with about $130.00 worth of songs. Wha Happened? How can I get it all back

has anyone ever had their apple ipod disappear from the computer? Mine did when I tried to install a newer version on my pC (vista), yesterday. Now I can't even see any apple icons on the screen or any other reference to my ipod tunes. I have had them on the computer for more than 6-years, and have spent a sizeable sum with apple buying iTunes. Help!

One more note. All my music on my iPhone was erased when I clicked on "Transfer Music from iPhone". I mistook the "from" for "to". I want the music to go from the PC to the iPhone, not the other way around. I've sync'ed many times since the latest version of iTunes, so I know that doesn't work.

Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Your system is missing a couple DLLs that LR needs, but the fix at Adobe is to copy them to the LR folder which gets replaced for each install, so you have to redo it after each LR install. It would be worth documenting the process and saving the DLLs so you don’t have to ask about it each time:

You might also use the AIO210 program to add them as detailed in this YouTube video—maybe this is a more permanent fix, but since the files are from media-fire be very careful about what you do so as not to install a virus on your computer.
I’d scan the downloaded ZIP you download with whatever virus and internet security software you have and don’t be fooled by extraneous popups you might see during the download process. I was able to download the aio210.zip after authorizing one Captcha window and closed at least one bogus popup trying to get me to install other software. I also scanned the downloaded zip with two virus scanners and both said it was clean. Here is the YouTube video, where the link to the ZIP to download is in the description once you expand it:

Aperture creating new version of image for each adjustment applied!

To anyone out there who can sort this one out, I will be forever grateful!
Here's the problem. I'll be jamming away in Aperture, adjusting photos like a madman. After adjusting a random number of photos (it usually varies between 5-30 photos or so after starting Aperture each time), the adjustments panel will no longer update when I click on a new image (i.e. it holds the info from the last image I adjusted and will continue to apply new adjustments to that last image even if another image is highlighted). If I switch to the metadata panel and then back to adjustments it will refresh itself and recognize the currently selected image (although I have to do this for EACH image I want to adjust once it starts acting up like this). The BIG problem is that even if I get the adjustments panel to recognize the selected image at this point, for EACH adjustment I apply it makes a new version of the image. For example, if I first change the contrast, it will make Version 2 of the image and select it (which is what it's supposed to do for the first adjustment, because I have "create new versions when making adjustments" checked in my preferences), but if I then make another adjustment like changing the saturation, it makes Version 3 of the image (from the master, so that only the saturation adjustment is applied and not the contrast adjustment). As you can imagine, this utterly destroys my once incredibly efficient Aperture workflow and makes it pretty much impossible to use Aperture for adjustments unless I turn off "create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences, at which point it does seem to work again (although I've only tried it on a few images, so not 100% sure it will work properly even then). If I restart Aperture (or my computer), it will work normally again for a few pictures and then will start acting up again with the same problem.
Originally I was running into this problem on my PowerBook G4, and so I figured it was just because Aperture didn't like my wussy G4 processor and was acting up when the load got too heavy (after all, the adjustments would work fine for up to 30 images or so). However I recently purchased a sexy iMac 24" 2.8 GHz and maxed out the RAM to 4GB, but I'm still getting the same darned problem with Aperture on my iMac. Yes, I'm using the same library of photos I was using on my PowerBook G4.
This problem has been plaguing me for about 3 months now (everything else in Aperture works fine so I'm still using it to import and organize my photos, I just haven't been able to make adjustments on large groups of pictures for a while), and I've searched and searched these forums countless times to see if anyone has run into similar problems, but I've not seen a single mention of it. I've also tried EVERYTHING mentioned for similar problems (rebuilding library, vacuuming database, erasing com.apple.aperture.plist preference file, repairing permissions, reinstalling Aperture, making burnt offerings to Steve Jobs), and NOTHING is working. ARRGH!!
For those who might have some words of wisdom to offer this delighted-***-miserably frustrated Aperture user, here are a few more details about my setup:
I have a library of about 37,000 photos, the vast majority of them being RAW .CRW files from a Canon 10D. The 25GB library file is stored on my internal hard drive, and all photos are referenced from an external LaCie 500GB FireWire 400 hard drive. I have a LOT of export plug-ins installed in Aperture, but no image adjustment plugins. I have generated previews turned off for all projects. I've had the same problem on both my PowerBook G4 and new iMac 24" 2.8 GHz. One other thing worth mentioning is that instead of upgrading from 2.1 (which was already giving me this problem) to 2.1.2, I downloaded the full version of 2.1.2 and installed it. I noticed that my 2.1 Aperture.app file was less than 100MB, whereas the 2.1.2 Aperture.app file is over 300MB. Don't know if that's normal or not.
The only other thing I can think of to try at this point is to load a new library into Aperture and import a large group of pictures and make adjustments to them to potentially see if my problem is being caused by Aperture or by the library. Will probably try that tomorrow.
I would appreciate any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this nasty little problem, as it's giving me a serious hormonal imbalance.
THANKS!

Thanks for the reply RB, but my current workflow depends on me creating new versions when I make adjustments. I suppose as a temporary solution I will probably have to either turn this preference off or just be willing to constantly restart Aperture. At least I finally found another thread with the same problem, so finally I don't feel completely alone in the far reaches of the Aperture universe. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to that thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8555067
It appears this problem is closely related to the ubiquitous black viewer problem that seems to be plaguing far more users than my issue (although I've run into the black viewer problem a few times myself), as both problems force Aperture to output the following message to Console:
Main Thread Exception in Aperture: * -NSCFArray objectAtIndex:: index (1) beyond bounds (1)
It seems that both of these problems existed in Aperture 1 and 1.5 up until the 1.5.6 upgrade which seems to have fixed it, but then with Aperture 2 the problem seems to have returned. At least that's the gist of what I've been reading on a number of threads. Whatever the case, I hope Apple gets this sorted out in their next update!
As it appears there is no proper answer to this problem at the moment, I'm gonna go ahead and mark this thread answered (and since you were kind enough to at least take the time to reply RB, you can be credited with the answer... thanks!).

I'm getting this error message- "*iTunes Library.itl* cannot be read beacuse it was created by a newer version of itunes."

I have my iTunes on a Windows XP operating system. My iTunes Library is stored on a external hard drive(H) with a desktop shortcut on the C drive pointing to the H drive where the iTunes LIbrary is located. I have it set up so that when I click the iTunes desktop shortcut it routes to the H drive and retrieves my iTunes Library from there. I've had a hard drive crash before and lost all of my iTunes Library.
So, if all of that makes any sense, I got a new desktop computer with Windows 7 Operating System and went online and downloaded the most recent iTunes softwear. I then attached the external hard drive from my old Windows XP system to the new Windows 7 Sytem. I routed it the same way I had it on the old system, but i keep getting this error message- "The file *iTunes Library.itl* cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." To make matters worse, I tried to put the external hard drive back on my initial Windows XP Sytem and now its giving me the same error message. I know its alot to digest, but can anybody help me?????

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade or crash the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these andcopy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
PS There is also a new iTunes build to download today, so might be worth getting that. A new iTunes should always load an older library file.

New version of the LabHSM Toolkit for Complex Event-Driven Development is Now Available!

A new version of the unique toolkit is now available for download. As announced earlier, LabHSM makes it possible to easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies. These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. Therefore, all your code looks similar regardless of its functionality!
So, what’s new in version 1.1?
• "No hands" block diagram modifications! Version 1.1 actually creates, renames, and removes actions on the block diagram as you define, rename, and remove them in the editor! (No, it can't fill in all the details for you, but it can do some, if you think ahead, by replicating similar actions.)
• Two new screens, Events Usage and Actions Usage, (available in licensed copies only) clearly show where (in which state(s)/transition(s)) and how (is it an entry action, exit action or event handling action?) a particular event or action is used. Moreover, if after selecting an instance on the list, the Go To button is pressed, it makes the main screen jump to respective location in the HSM structure. In the case of Actions Usage screen, the respective action is also displayed on the block diagram. Thus, these screens provide two more different cross-sections of the HSM data set and two additional ways to navigate it – now along the Actions and Events dimensions too instead of just the state tree in the first version.
• Version 1.1 can duplicate events or actions, which helps when you've got several that are similar. Changes in the events and actions lists are reflected immediately on the main screen and on the block diagram (which solves the previous problem of deleting a renamed event or action when it's still in use).
• The Events and Actions List Editors are no longer modal and neither are the Events and Actions Usage screens, so you can have all the panels and the block diagram visible and move freely among them as you build your HSM (a good argument for an even larger monitor).
• When you save an HSM file, version 1.1 automatically adds the .hsm extension if you leave it out and it remembers the last directory you used.
• The Loaded VIs utility now can open and close block diagrams (if they are not protected with a password) and display only VIs with modal front panels, if desired—useful for quickly finding and closing accidentally opened (e.g., from the hierarchy window) modal VIs. Make a modal version of this utility and keep it on the Desktop for this purpose.
• A new example of a simple hierarchical state machine and two more excellent tutorials from Paul F. Sullivan (SULLutions.com) are included into the package. The tutorials are also available online. The overview article has also been extended.
As before, the LabHSM toolkit is available for UNLIMITED PERIOD trial. Please visit http://www.labhsm.com for details and download. The site also contains references which you may want to check to learn more about hierarchical state machines and active object computing.

I am not really sure if Azure support this but its worth to make your configuration file to support .NET 4.0
$PShome\PowerShell_ISE.CONFIG and $PSHOME\PowerShell.exe.config will be not existing.
So you can make an entry in configuration to support .NET framework 4.0
like shown below
$config_text = @"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319"/>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
$config_text| Out-File $pshome\powershell.exe.config
$config_text| Out-File $pshome\powershell_ise.exe.config
Close PowerShell Console and open as administrator.
Try loading the modules back and let me know.

Quicktime believes a newer version of Quicktime is installed

My iTunes wasn't working properly and I also found that Quicktime was another program that wasn't seeming to work. Because of this, I decided to remove Quicktime from my computer and then reinstall it. However, when I tried to open the installer, I would get a message saying that there is already a newer versioin of Quicktime installed and therefore the installer closes. I have made sure that I DO NOT have Quicktime anywhere on my computer, and yet it stills has that message.
Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

a new version of quiktime is installed.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

New version of Illustrator

Is there going to be a new version of Illustrator CS3 coming out before the end of 2008?

CS3
might be updated by a decimal point, but I would bet against it. Adobe won't announce an update until they make it available. The next version, Illustrator 14 (also stupidly named CS4) is in development. Betas of other CS4 applications are currently available, but not Illustrator. This suggests the entire suite will be updated soon, but nobody will know until there is an official announcement from Adobe. Traditionally, Adobe provides free upgrades (e.g. from CS2 to CS3) for purchases made after the announcement.
If you are waiting to buy, don't. If you need the software, then you need it so you buy it. Besides, Illustrator "upgrades" have a lot in common with recent Windows "upgrades". That is, new features seem worthwhile, but the execution sucks. Illustrator keeps getting a little bit better
and a little bit worse.
IMO it's worth the upgrade cost to have the software now, and as a bonus you get to keep two versions of the program, which is a very good thing.

I just bought Final Cut Studio right before this new version...

I just bought Final Cut Studio right before this new version came out. Am I eligible for a free upgrade to the new software?

I'm sorry, but these replies have been ludicrous. To actually answer your question, I would think they would honour their usual 14-day return policy, but you would need to speak with Apple directly.
As to the whole "which is better" debacle, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro 7 is the more polished and fleshed out piece of editing software, and what everyone is most familiar with to boot. But let's be honest, what do you expect for software that is ten years old versus three days. The fact of the matter is that pretty much everyone editing with Apple's software in the not so distant future is going to be editing on Final Cut Pro X, hands down. It's fundamentally that much better. You nay-sayers out there, if you don't switch to Adobe or Avid, you will go to FCP X! There is a reason for that, and there will be an even stronger reason for that with every update. People don't seem to understand that.
In your situation, if you don't own either, it makes a whole lot more sense to me for you to just roll with the hiccups FCP X brings if you can at all handle it. If not, you are going to spend $999 now on FCS 3 and another $400 in the near future when you decide to take the leap. Is there something worth $1000 to you in FCS 3 that FCP X doesn't offer? If so, then great, go ahead. It's an amazing piece of software. If not, enjoy the head start on what editing is going to look like for the next ten years.
All the best talking with Apple. The way that they are pushing FCP X I would hope you don't run into any trouble.

Just Bought A Touch, But Newer Version Out Soon?

I just picked up an ipod touch a couple of days ago. My question is what happens to me if the new version of the touch comes out in September/October? Obviously newer tech & features would make me want the new one instead. Since I just bought it, is there an exchange/grace period where I can get the new version if this happens?

I got my iPod Touch a few months after it was first released I believe, now I am stuck with the old, non-speaker having, iTouch. sigh And because I got it when it was pretty much just released, and that the newer versions came out over the months, I could NOT trade it in for a new one. Which I find unfair now since my 8gb has dropped $100 in price and can even have a speaker in it.
Currently, there's rumors that they'll be an iPod Touch that'll have a camera in it.
My Advice To You: Search out tech sites, read the rumors, return your iPod (if you want), wait a couple months, buy the awesome new iPod touch that'll come out.
Can't wait for the iPhone to come to Verizon! i'll get my moneys worth.

Downloaded new version and now itunes store wont open

Even though you've got a newer version of iTunes, it might be worth checking through the following document with that one:

New version of iBooks Author

Does anybody know what bugs the new version fixed?

Nope, not yet.
The info for the new download is a bit flippant, I think.
Apple prompts developers to never just say 'improved and bug fixes' when updating their apps, but it seems like this update was not worth the time of whomever is in charge of the product.
On top of that, while they seem to encourage feedback from iBA users this looks like that is just lip service. Hate to say it, but this makes it look like iBA might not be important enough going forward. Pages is getting all the attention...

New version is it worth it
