5d MkIII Shooting sports and the settings you use?

Ok, so I finally did it. shhhh don't tell my wife.
Yea, I pulled the trigger and let the giant moths out of my wallet and bought the MkIII !  I currently have a 7d and have been happy with it but just needed a new toy. Anyone out there relate? I basically shoot softball, Soccer and occasionally basketball. Here's my question to all you current 5dIII users. With this very accurate and sophisticated focus system what settings have you found works well for the sports you shoot? Softball starts March 8th and I can't wait to flex these new muscles! 
Thx, I appreciate all your feedback

Check out Canon's guide book on the focus system -- it's fairly advanced and should help.

  • Milo: "The settings you choose in Save Adobe PDF dialog...

    Something has changed in CS4 for me on my XP based PC.
    When I try to save a PSD as a PDF now, I get a box that pops up with the message
    "The settings you choose in Save Adobe PDF dialog can override your current settings in the Save As dialog box".
    "OK" is the only option.
    But beyond the fact that I don't know why this comes up and that I'm taken to another screen with the title "Save Adobe PDF"
    where I have to click  "Save PDF", one of two things then happens:
    1)  I click Save PDF and no PDF is created in the folder OR
    2)  I click Save PDF, the PDF IS created, but my PSD goes away and I'm being show the .pdf file in Photoshop.
    Hoping someone recognizes what could be behind all this.
    In your response, please remember that I'm not all that much of a tech-y and my system knowledge isn't deep.
    Thank you so much!

    ***You chose File --> Save As... instead of Save Copy. Normal behavior - the PDF becomes your working file,
    *** but if you ever saved your original PSD, it will still be there.
    I've pasted a number of screen prints at http://www.improventures.com/temp/temp2.htm including one showing
    that my version (11.0) of CS4 does not have a Save Copy option.  But I've been using Photoshop CS2 and CS4 for years
    and I don't think I've ever had to do more than say "Save As..." and choose PDF to make a copy of the current
    PSD as a PDF without leaving the PSD.  It certainly works that way for .jpg, making a copy without leaving the
    original PSD!  But I guess it's possible that I've done this infrequently enough that I have that wrong...but it still doesn't
    explain why I'm being taken to the "Save Adobe PDF" screen instead of the "Save As..." like I had been.
    Or why I'm missing the Save Copy option you mention.
    ****Your PDF options have a conflict somewhere, so no file is saved. Hard to tell  without seeing your settings.
    I've pasted a BUNCH of those setting on the webpage above, hoping to help diagnose this because I'm sure stumped.  Though I may have found it...I have a feeling one cannot create a PDF from a multi-layered PSD.  When I saved a copy and flattened it, that version created the PDF correctly!
    *** As for the warnings - normal and "good software design" Simply have them not  show again by clicking the checkbox, if they are annoying you...
    oh, now, I may not be tech-y, but that much I knew.  :-)  he he.   It's not the fact that it's telling me this that's the problem.  It's the fact that either I should only be taken to the Save As screen or that I think I have something "off" in my PDF settings, as you say.
    Thanks, Myl!

    Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that can apply to any iPad issue.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    None of these things may work, but without more specific information, they are a good place to start.

    Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
    I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
    This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
    I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
    All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am  still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
    God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
    See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

    If both you and the person you are texting have iMessage, and that person's phone is dead... Will it/Can it still be sent as an imessage? I am getting different answers from people. I want to know if this person was being untruthful about there phone being truthful.

    IF that is the only iDevice activated for that recipient, then no. It should not successfully send as an iMessage if the phone is powered off or has no data connection. If you have Send as SMS turned on, it should automatically fallback to SMS after a few minutes. Of course, they won't get this until they power on their phone, assuming they have a text messaging plan with their carrier.

    The the account you used to "purchase" iPhoto is the Apple ID you used to set yoru couputer up with - log into th eApp store using that Apple ID and look under purchases - if you have not accepted the App yet then you will have to accept it first

  • Problem updating pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie "to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"

    My dad bought a new retina macbook pro over a year ago.
    The pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie applicaitons get this error when trying to download an update:
    "to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"
    We are logged into the only account that he has ever had.
    He has mountain lion. 
    It's very annoying and there's no way we know of to get around it. Searching and searching online led nowhere.
    Please help!!!!!

    You cannot.
    As requested... You need to use the SAME Apple ID that Originally made the Purchase of whatever Application you are trying to Update.

    Has your Apple ID changed, that's the one that matters.
    You need to sign in under the account that purchased these apps (did you buy this Mac new)

    Thanks for your help.

    It used to be that Spotlight had to create an index for the boot volume with the /Applications folder in order for the App Store Update option to work properly. I had a habit of disabling Spotlight for all volumes by adding disk volume names to the Do Not Index list under the Privacy tab in the Spotlight System Preferences panel, so App Store never let me update apps until I turned Spotlight back on. I turned it on until I was able to update the apps, then I'd turn it off again.
    I'm currently faced with the same error message (Login with the account you used to buy the free package) but Spotlight is turned on. Apple really goes out of its way to not tell you what account you used to buy something. That's not supposed to be a big deal, I only have a couple accounts. But when I tried them all, App Store refused to let me update using ANY of them.
    It's just Xcode. I can just delete the darn thing and buy it again (all 4 GB of it), but this is really annoying!

  • Got a new Mac Book Pro for school. Go to update all the hardware and software do not have any problems until i get to "iMovie" and "iPhoto" (they came pre-loaded) and i get "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." help

    Does any one know how to fix this problem?

    Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

  • I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when i try to update them i'm told To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though i bought it and it is on my iMac!

    I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when I try to update them through App Store I'm told that "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though I bought it and it is on my iMac! Any suggestions on what I need to do?

    Hi...
    Delete both apps using this utility >  Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    That will delete the apps and all associated files.
    Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

    Thanks for you reply.  I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer.  That's why I'm stumped.  I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password.  When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday.  It didn't recognize it.  I know I got my birthday correct.

    Dear Brother David,
    You are way out of order and actually just wrong and seem to lack any empathy or understanding for users, let alone anything other than text book/google regurgitations.
    I thank you for highlighting your illusions of granduer  and for your wonderful, thoughful and intelligent insults.
    I re- post a fix below that worked for me:
    As a user and you may find this bug, you can either ring apple or try the below,
    All my apps now appear in the purchases section of App store and iMovie also updated itself.
    I have only one ID software is presinstalled and software was "not hidden" or even showing...I just got various error messages and ID errors.
    It was not spotlight indexing either.
    cheers

    /Library/Application Support/App Store
    Drag this file to the desktop
    adoption.plist
    Repen Mac App Store and log in

    Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?
