What can I use to make a poster?

Hi, in early 2010, I bought a Macbook Pro and I love it! I was really excited about having software that I could use to make really cool posters and things. The only thing is, as there is no longer comic life, I have nothing to make posters with or do my homework on. Does anyone have any suggestions about software or applications which aren't astronomical in price? I'm only thirteen and I don't have much money. Thank you.

You might want to check out Apple's iWorks. It's 99 Dollars, but you can download and try it for free. one of the programs in iWorks is Pages. It's a word processor and basic layout application. it's very easy to use. And it includes templates for making posters.
Open Office is a free Alternative to word and pages. You can use it to word process, and It can open, and save word files. http://www.openoffice.org/
Pixel Mator, is an alternative to photo shop. You can use it to make posters or edit photos. You can download it for free, but it costs 50 dollars, http://www.pixelmator.com/
A free Alternative to photoshop would be Gimp. It's kind of hard to use in comparison to pages and pixel mator. BUt it can be used to make posters. It can be downloaded at http://www.gimp.org/ .

  • What can I use to make a decent quality QTVR movie under OS X?

    I made a Quicktime VR movie some years ago of my computer room using Apple's Quicktime VR Studio v1.0 under Classic on my G5. I had to use my OLD QuickTake 200 (640x480) camera, since it was a preset in that app and I could not get focal length, etc. right corresponding to my "real" camera.
    http://www.bytecellar.com/qtvr.html
    I'd like to take an updated set of pics and make a rather higher resolution QTVR of the room, but I don't know what app to use. All my Macs are Intel-based now. What is the modern app to use to make a QTVR? This inspired me:

    What did they use for that?
    Ideally I would use a tool that generates a perspective-correct QTVR-style movie that ran in Flash, but I can't find any such tools to do that for less than thousands of $$. Thanks.

    Is the source file but QT Pro doesn't show what software created it.
    It appears QTVR has been abandoned by Apple so I guess your search for software should start by inquires to those that still create content.
    It used to be a very popular method of Web page "interactivity" and many camera manufacturers included software to create them.

  • Is there a way to find out what computer was used to make an order

    I found some charges on my account that I did not make assuming that it was either my 14 year old son or soon to be ex-husband, is there a way to tell what computer was used to make the order?

    It's highly doubtful there's a general problem caused by that update, or the forums would be full of similar posts. More likely, it's specific to your setup somehow.
    Have you Restarted your Mac lately? If not, that's always worth a try.
    Then, make sure there isn't a problem with the file system on your internal HD. Verify it, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
    If that's ok, then as GfulDedFan says, run +*Repair Disk Permissions,+* per #5 there.
    If that doesn't help, try connecting to your router via Ethernet cable instead of wireless, to rule out interference problems.
    If you have the same results via Ethernet, you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your nearest Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Or call AppleCare at: (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

  • Kisight:- If I Don't Have or Want to Use My iSight What Can I Use ?

    kisight:- If I Don't Have or Want to Use My iSight What Can I Use ?
    Or What Cameras are available for Macs ?
    This question used to come up for Macs that did not have Internal Cameras and the User did not have an External iSight.
    Since the advent of Intel Mac and the Internal iSight and OS 10.4.9 (late Tiger) the question has broadened from "What can I use with iChat ?" to "What cameras can I use with My Mac ?" and from there into the current Question this User Tip plans to answer.
    On the whole it is a case of matching a camera for the type of application you are going to use it most with.
    A web cam can be used in iMovie to create Email or Video Blogs although Camcorders do a better job. Camcorders can be used as web cams.
    Camera Types
    These fall into three main categories that themselves have subsets.
    Your choice is going to be influenced by the Applications you want to use it with.
    1) Firewire Cameras (Plug an Play)
    a) The iSight (External) made by Apple and several other similar cameras have mostly disappeared off the market. (Although iSights seem to be still doing well on Ebay - See Version and Mounts).
    b) Firewire Camcorders. These vary as to which apps that work with dues to the different Signal outputs they can do.
    Apple Article TA26556 Highlights some that have issues due to their proprietary DV Format.
    2) USB 1.1 able Cameras. (Not Plug and Play)
    This includes most cameras pre Vista (more on that later)
    Most of these will need a suitable Mac Driver either from the Manufacturer or from one of two Generic sources (macam and IOXeperts). Some manufacturers will include a Mac Driver on the CD that comes with the camera some will supply it as a download from their Site.
    It is worth while saying at this point that iChat will also need this reasonably cheap iUSBCam Utility as well.
    This Utility was originally designed for getting the External iSight to work on computers less than the G3/600Mghz spec for iChat. Then it included the ability to get USB cameras to work with iChat.
    You will need one of these three options listed so far if you are OS 10.4.8 or below or have only USB 1.1 ports/sockets on your Mac.
    3) USB 2.0 Cameras. (Plug and Play in most cases)
    a) Those that are UVC (USB Video Class) Compliant (Also listed as Vista Certified)
    Apple added a UVC driver to the OS at 10.4.9 but your Mac also has to have an USB 2.0 port that you can plug such a camera into (Some keyboard ports are not USB 2.0). This means that the camera is Plug and Play although it may not have all the features it has on a PC
    b) Those that are USB 2.0 but are not Vista Certified/UVC compliant. (You are going to need Mac Drivers again)
    This site about Apple Compatible cameras may be of some help.
    A Note on quality of Pictures.
    Firewire cameras of either sort are best with Camcorders being the best of all. (Generally more pixels delivered faster to your Computer)
    The Newer USB 2.0 cameras are tending to exceed the 640 X 480 pixels that earlier USB1.1 cameras use with some currently giving 1.3Mp resolutions. It should be noted though that not all applications will use this format.
    Look closely at the maximum Frame rate (fps) a camera can produce. You may not get it is every applications but something that starts with a max of 15fps is going to give you no leeway.
    Applications
    You may get some more insight into what to go for by asking in one of these forums:-
    iSight Discussions,
    iChat AV Discussions for iChat 3 and iChat 2 and Earlier,
    iChat and iChat Sharing (in Leopard)
    and iMovie Discussions
    Please Note:- some of these are Category Links and you have to select a forum within the list at the top of the linked page.

    Versions and Mounts Which Version Am I Buying ?
    First off I will not say so much on Buying a second hand External iSight other than making sure you use a reputable Selling site or an Individual Seller so that you have recourse if the device turns out to be faulty. Try and get to see the camera working if you can, preferably seeing it plugged in and working or by iChat and seeing the Pic it produces (Get the person to show you live Screen shots (or Screen Share in Leopard/iChat 4) of System Preferences > Sound > Input as the iSight will be listed)
    What I will list here is info about the different versions.
    There were three versions before the External iSight was discontinued. There is little outward differences as the main change is the mounts that are included with each version. They all function the same way.
    The versions are distinguished by letters (Revision A, B or C) in addition to the base part number and an added slash (M8817LL/).The Last model included different mounts for Laptops, Desktop Stand, Magnetic mount and one for a Flat Panel iMac (the Lampshade one). See pictures in this PDF on page 6.
    Apple no Longer sell the External iSight or the Apple M9314G/B iSight Accessory Kit either but you may find it at other places as well if the mount you want/need does not come with the camera. Pics of Box and Contents
    It appears that individual iSight mounts and other items can be purchased though this iSight Service FAQ page
    Remember the youngest External iSight is likely to be at least 4 years old. Current anecdotal information suggests the cost of an Apple Repair to a faulty External iSight exceeds the cost of a USB Replacement (Or the value in real terms, of the camera itself - although higher prices seem to be quoted on Ebay and Amazon)

    Thanks Nubz
    I will review further an correct myself.
    The last reads the way I meant as in physically getting to see it.
    I am not sure you are reading it the same way.
    As a consequence your suggestion seems a bit ambiguous to my mind.
    Thanks for the input. I will read a digest context a bit more and see if I can rephrase.

  • TS2446 So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

    So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • What can be done to make Bridge recogonize recently added directories ?

    What can be done to make Bridige recogonize recently contructed folders that were made in Microsoft Explorer?
    I quit and restart both Bridge and PS without success.  I don not wish to reboot each time this happens.

    There's something weird happening on your computer. Bridge should constantly check the file system for changes, and new folders should appear quite soon after they are created. This suggests to me that either Bridge is broken on your computer, or the file system is misbehaving.
    A quick fix for Bridge would be to update it to the latest version and/or reset preferences using Ctrl-click Bridge icon. That cures quite a lot of ills.
    I have seen Windows Explorer behave strangely at times, when for example icons do not show up on the desktop until you refresh with F5. I have never found an explanation for this. However, if you are only seeing this behaviour in Bridge, then you can discount this.
    The other thing which springs to mind is Bridge's problem with broken drives. Bridge builds a list of file system locations which it checks at regular intervals. If one of those locations has a problem, there is a knock-on effect. Maybe Bridge has stopped polling your folders for this reason.
    I use a program called Sysinternals 'Process Monitor', which is now owned by Microsoft. It's a bit of a hacker's tool, and one of its jobs is to monitor file system activity by application. If you start it up and narrow activity down to File System and Bridge, you can see what Bridge is doing in real time. You should see it accessing a group of different locations every few seconds. Maybe one of those locations is very slow or inaccessible, and you might see it hang there.
    If all that sounds a bit too technical, just have a look at the drives listed in "My Computer" and check they all work properly/promply.

  • What can I use as Microsoft office

    What can I use that is similar to Microsoft office for iPad?

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. As Simon said, Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that can be purchased separately. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you want access to the actual Microsoft Office applications and can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps, a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.
    You'll find a number of other threads on the subject if you want to look for additional information and opinions.

    Your iPhone is probably locked to your former cell carrier. In such case only that carrier can unlock it, so you'll need to contact the carrier. Note that unless things have changed recently only 3 offers unlocking. If you used a different carrier, they do not appear to offer unlocking which means that your son will not be able to use your old iPhone. But call your carrier and ask.

  • Imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??

    imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??

    Hey babylovesyou,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone shows a blue screen and is restarting on its own. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,
    Mario

  • My iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

    my iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.
