Advice about the OS

My wife and I are due for the New Every 2 in a few weeks. We are looking at DROID phones to upgrade from our EnV2 phones. I am tech savvy, my wife is not. How difficult would it be for her to learn the DROID system as opposed to the non-smartphones we have had until this point? Will I be spending hours explaining how to do everything on the phone to her?

The Android Operating System in many ways is easier to use than a conventional cell phone menu. What it does well is take the touch feature and combine it with simple to use menus and icons, which allow you to easily explore the phones features. Once you get use to the Android Operating System it is hard to go back to a regular phone.
You would want to explain the basic touch functions of the device like press, swipe and press and hold for more options, but everything else is pretty straight forward. The Android Operating System is very well thought out for all users.

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

Give me some advice about the big message

Whether JMS provider provide the function to deal with big message? i haven't found.Whether should I split the message myself? but if i split myself,the message as a whole will be difficult to ensure whole.I can only receive message one by one.If i only receive some of the splitted messages,and the other still in the topic ,all of the messages are unuseful.if u have practice in this ,give me some good advice pls.thanks.

There are JMS servers in the market, which provide an inbuilt mechanism to send large messages. Some of them implement this by internally compressing/splitting into various parts and who so ever is listening on that destination is delivered the complete message/file by concatinating/uncompressing them at the consumer side. Do check for this support in your JMS provider.

Very challenging motion graphic project, advice about the work flow

i have been requested to realize a project inspired to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPjjxe0hF2A, I have studied motion 4 and motion 5,
but I don't have a long expeirnce as motion graphic designer and therefore I dont have clear how to achieve that,
first of all, can I work just with motion 5 ? anyone of you uses after effects? what are the atvantage compared to motion? what would you use to realize this project?

motion graphic was accomplished way before such apps, or computers were involved with it.

what does AE helps you to create such a 'simple' animation as mentioned in your OP, when you don't know to use it? this example of Kinetic Typography is built with AE - a) because Photoshop and Illustrator are highly integrated and b) 'cause the maker can handle it with awesome skills! i dare to say, could be done in Motion5 too

Listen Up HP! I have some advice about the new ENVY 15t Touch!

Hello HP and everyone!
I'm interested in purchasing a brand new HP ENVY 15t Touch, and would have ordered a fully-optioned one today, except my purchase came to a screeching halt when I saw HP's options for "Processor and Graphics" offered for the laptop. I was slightly disappointed to find that HP now only offers the CPU and the graphics in a "bundle" as opposed to separate options, but I was astonished to see what the bundled options were!
See, the base processor and graphics are "4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ Quad Core Processor + Intel® HD Graphics 4600," which is to be expected. I like the i7-4710HQ, but wanted more in terms of graphics, so I looked down the list and found the next option to be, at a $70 upcharge, "4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Dual Core Processor + 2GB NVIDIA GeForce 840M Graphics." I found the third option to be "4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Dual Core Processor + 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M Graphics" for $140 over the base option.
I found these next two choices to be highly frustrating. I think it's absurd that HP insists I downgrade my CPU substantially just because I don't want the integrated graphics on their top-performing laptop, and then upcharges the CPU downgrade! Respectfully, I think that was a terrible move! Why HP can't offer both a quad core i7 and a stand alone video card? They did on their previous generation of the Envy 15 Touch, so I'm pretty sure it's not a power consumtpion issue.
So, HP, please offer your top-tier high-performance laptop with both a quad core i7 and at least an NVIDIA GeForce 840M. I think you will satisfy more of your high-performance customers, and lose less of them to your competitors. I would have loved to order one of these laptops today with both the i7-i7-4710HQ and the 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M, but it seems that isn't going to happen right now. I will be looking elsewhere to buy a laptop unless this changes.

As far as payment goes, I agree with the at least 50% up front rule. As far as how much you charge, that will depend on how many days of production and post production are being planned. Also your skills should come into play. This is a completely different job than your typical work and requires a much different skill set.
If you really believe in the show AND the producers ability to sell it, you may want to offer a discount on production of the pilot for a signed contract guaranteeing you the production contract of the series once it has funding. If you don't believe in both the show and the future potential, charge them full rate card, as there won't be any future work coming from this show.
Another thing to factor in is your ability. Producing a pilot is a completely different animal than doing events and wedding. Can you pull it off, honestly? Can you bring the vision to full potential?
Finally I can't stress enough the producers ability to sell it. It's not easy to get a foot in the door at the networks. Most often they only work with companies they've worked with in the past. They come up with new ideas and match them up with a vendor they already work with.

Advice about switching to the mba

Only recently moved from windows to a mac and I'm ready to go MBA already!
I need some advice about the new MBA though please... Usually I look for reviews, youtube vids etc but can't find anything about the new MBA.
I read stories about problems with the old MBA and wanted to hear from people that have the new version.
I'm particularly worried about the stories of overheating and non-stop fan noises, taking ages to reboot etc (have these been rectified with the new MBA?).
I currently have the 2ghz and it's pretty fast, love how quickly it switches on and off and I'd hate to loose that.
Also, the MBA would become my main laptop as I couldn't possibly afford to keep both! Obviously I realise the MBA is not as powerful as the MacBook or the Pro but I'm not a heavy user, only mail, internet, youtube, itunes, ical, Office for Mac, some basic photo editing and rarely some light video editing.
I would really appreciate any insight from current new MBA users, I know things are quite subjective (ie: I think my MacBook overheats very quickly but maybe to others this would be the norm) so I wouldn't bite your head off!
sorry if this is the wrong place to post this... I couldn't find a more relevant category.

I bought the 2nd generation MBA (released last November). I purposely held off on buying the first generation because of the complaints about the overheating etc. I follow a lot of Mac forums and can tell you that any problems you heard about have been resolved.
There are always a few people that have issues with their machine - not matter what generation it is - but I would recommend the new versions to anybody that wants one.
Fan noise is very subjective. I use my MBA a for Audio Recording and production - so my fan comes on pretty fast on mine - as the software I use maxes out the processor right from the start. And here is the best way I can sum it up:
If I take the MBA with fan on into a dead quiet room - yes - I can hear the fan - and to me it sounds like blowing air out of your mouth to cool down hot food....
If I take that MBA with the fan on into the kitchen where the fridge is running - I cannot hear the MBA anymore. Or if the dishwasher is on, or the clothes dryer etc.....
I can only hear it is a dead quiet recording room. Subjective as it may be - it's perfectly acceptable to me.
I have almost never had to restart my MBA - usually only when a software update requires it - I just sleep my machine. OSX is rock solid. my MBA takes 27 seconds to load - every time. If i do need to shut down - it takes like 2 or 3 seconds.
I paid top dollar for mine when it was released and even though I could get it for $1000 cheaper now - I don't regret the money I spent. The solid MBA build and solid OSX are worth a lot to me.
If there's any more questions just post them and I'd be happy to answer.

Need advice about a WiFi set-up

Dear Gang,
I want to have a pure 802.11n network using the 5 ghz spectrum and the wide array setting. However, I have one desktop computer that is 802.11g. I'd like to run a 25 ft. Cat 5 cable to one of the LAN ports on the TimeCapsule and then shut-off the WiFi on this computer. However, strangely enough, I've always had all my computers (even desktops) networked via WiFi so I don't know how well using the LAN works.
What are the thoughts of the group?
I know that ethernet should give me greater speeds to the TC's hard drive and should solve my problem with bringing a non-802.11n machine in to a "pure" network, but I don't want to do so if the set-up is arduous or if doing so makes me lose a lot of features that I get in an all WiFi network.
TIA,
Mark

dwb,
I'll definitely take your advice about the ethernet cables - thank you.
Your info is reassuring as it means that my dual G5 will get a little more life out of it by connecting it in to my "pure" system via ethernet.
Two other quick questions:
-should I connect my new iMac via ethernet to the router, too, even though it's capable of going on my system in 802.11n 5ghz?
-also, as an aside, I'm trying to figure out if my new 802.11n network will equal my current 802.11g network in terms of distance as I have an Apple TV that's a few rooms over. That Apple TV gets about 4 bars of signal from my current network. Do you think that 802.11n at 5 ghz will have an equivocal range?

Advice about using the laptop with closed lid while connected to external display

Hello all HP forum members!
I have an ENVY 17 with Win8.1 64bit, a great laptop, but I need an advice about using it while connected via HDMI cable to an external display (TV).
When I play heavy 3D games, the computer produces more heat than usual (of course this is normal), but doing so with closed lid, could this harm the display in some way, as a result of the heat?
Thanks!

Hi @VVel ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 17 Notebook and issue with keeping the Notebook on while closing the lid. Here is a document on changing the Power option.
Control Panel - Power Options - upper left - Choose what closing the lid does.
Change Plan Settings and also check Advanced Settings. Make sure you do this for both battery and power.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I need advice about being part of the Twitter Army of Awesome Help

I am grateful for the fact of Mozilla and I use Twitter a lot.
Although I am not technically competent, I do have experience of using Mozilla and Thunderbird for quite some years and am willing to share my experience.
I obviously do not want to make matters worse for questioners and need some advice about how to begin.
Is there a Forum where Folk such as me can share experiences of answering Tweets and also just be given examples how the system works, please, or might it be better for me to resign before I start rather than cause complications for anyone?

Thanks - I hope to have a check there, when I have more time, meanwhile I see that separately I have been sent an email asking for my experience etc.. -
I plan to attend to that when I am less pressed for time, it may not be for some while though - my spirit is willing but resources few, but if I just learn to do some small things it spreads the load - and I guess I have made a very small start - I have wondered about it for years but that Awesome Tweet was the prompt that got me this far!

Looking advice about mounting 3500i access points (AP) to the ceiling

Hello, looking your help and advice about mounting 3500i access points (AP) to the ceiling ...
The ceiling is an Armstrong suspended ceiling with 24" mineral fiber drop ceiling...
What are recommendations and best practice - mount AP under or above the ceiling?
Initially, I considered the mounting options from Oberon Inc. (p/n :1064-00), but given the difficulty by purchasing this product in my country have to consider other options...
I must say that the decision to mount the access point to the ceiling like this:
does not really to my liking...
Now I looking a version of the mount АP with flush-mount kit for tiled ceilings (AIR-AP-BRACKET-3=)...
What are your recommendations?

What are recommendations and best practice - mount AP under or above the ceiling?
Do NOT install the WAP inside the ceiling cavity (hidden from view) as it will cause signals to degrade.
There are some stuff inside the ceiling cavity that could cause signals to misbehave.

Should I have concerns about the integrity of Best Buy's Mac sales?

I bought my iMac OS X, Early 2008 Model from a Best Buy store. I was a naive & pensive 1st time [ever] PC buyer. The sales [kid] led me to an iMac that had been returned, and referred to it as an "open box sale." I was re-assured the Mac had been completely "wiped clean of all..." After setting it up at home, I found out different; and the previous owner had it for 4 months! Earlier at B.Buy the sales kid told me after asking "why was it returned?" His reply, "Because the screen was too big." His answer certainly didn't make sense to me then, or when I discovered [at home] that it took the 1st owner [him] so long to decide it wasn't what he wanted. So I packed up my Mac & returned to the B.Buy store to have everything cleared.
I knew I had a lot of trial & error lessons on my hands, not being a computer literate person, but evidently I like a good challenge; and that it has been! No complaints; at first I was concerned about 'doing something wrong'. I was re-assured by the Geek Squad, "You can't harm it; just explore your Mac to get to know it." Well, needless to say, not being able to follow instructions in Owner's Manuals, I'm more of a "slowly SHOW me HOW TO, and what's what" type of learner. I had to Google everything pertaining to PC terminology, steps on how to download & install, files, folders, using delete/trash, keeping all in place/order and NOT duplicating [and which one to keep if I did!] Please don't think I'm stupid; my Mac has been properly stored for 6 years, minus 8 months. I was not in the position in my life to have it set up in a secure environment. Since Jan 2014, my Mac & I have spent many hours, equalling weeks & months face-to-[screen] face!
I've had many problems since installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4; and was very apprehensive updating due to the many unfavorable Reviews I had been researching. But I couldn't keep ignoring Apple's repeated recommendations of keeping every item updated. So I eventually found my way to all info, ON ONE PAGE! Yipee! I could not believe what I was reading! Even though I was aware my APPLE apps, plug-ins, utilities, etc. were not auto updating [set to do so]. I FINALLY found my Mac's PROBLEM. My main software, Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is GROSSLY OUTDATED! I totally spaced that due to my Mac being packed away for so long. So I'm working on that. I'M SHARING all MY INFO hoping to help other's who are at my technical level. SO all YOU COMPUTER WHIZZES can SCOFF, GIGGLE all YOU WANT . I take no offense, I'm kidding ☀️.
BUT!! Since learning how & where to navigate through the system's files & such, and seeing documents, folders and files that strike me as odd, I have a NAGGING ITCH something is there from the ORIGINAL OWNER. He CREATED SOMETHING, a way into my system, CURRENTLY. I've had to Google 'plist names', and with the help of a very longtime good Facebook friend in New York State, I am learning more from his knowledge & advice. ALL my APPLE security settings are set-up, deny's & allows, and I'm not downloading Videos from MeTube , or anywhere else for that matter. I only download SAFE game apps, and I'm the ONLY user. ANY IDEAS or SUGGESTIONS COMP WHIZZES? Besides updating my software; I'm just trying to find out [on that subject] if I have to buy, download/install all Software Programs of past to be able to run the current OS X Mavericks? Which I read already has a 10.9.5 version. I wanted to become a part of the "Preview Program" for Yosemite; but nope, I cannot!
REASONS for MY PREVIOUS OWNER Concerns: My system got so bad, while attempting to Chat on fb w/one friend; every letter I typed, the rainbow ball would spin forever, highlight & delete partial words, and would totally crash. I downloaded an anti Virus app for Mac; scanned my system [took forever]; ending w/a report of 55 VIRUSES!! Many files could not be scanned too. My Mac HD Encrypted Logical Partition Drive un-mounted at least two times, and there's one too many files than there should be. But the file name was not shown, only that the count is off. HELP?

While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

Where can I learn more about the Logic Environment?

I've been using LogicPro for a while now - since version 7 came out - and I'm ready to learn more about the mysterious Logic Environment. Anyone know of a good tutorial or website on this topic? I don't have a specific question - what I need is a general overview.
My sessions are primarily audio recording and mixing with a virtual instrument from time to time. I rarely use MIDI except to play the synths and instruments.
My environmental experience so far has been limited to creating and naming audio objects, accessing "hidden" faders and as an alternate to the mix views provided in the global and track mixers.
I'd prefer free advice but I'm not against paying if it's worth it. I have read the manual but I have a feeling that it will be more helpful once I have a better grasp on the big picture. It's a reference manual more than a how-to.
My MIDI devices are an Axiom-61 and PreSonus FaderPort.
Thanks,
John

Apple has what they call "online seminars" available on the main Logic page
http://www.apple.com/logicpro/
If you look on the bottom right hand side of the page, you see a link for online seminars. You'll have to go through a regstration process, then you can watch 3 or 4 streaming Quicktime videos of people using different functions in Logic. There's nothing really in depth there, but it does show you a few useful shortcuts and methods.
