Advice for new Razr owners

My dog got hold of my Droid X, so I replaced it with a Razr, which won out over the iPhone 4s becase of 4G and screen size. First day, I found that my connection, whether 4G, 3G, roaming, whatever, would spontaneously drop out. No rhyme or reason behind it. Verizon tech support tried to be helpful, but the tech sounded like she was grabbing at straws. She's sending me a SIM card.
However, yesterday evening I went to Motorola's website and downloaded the latest software update, 6.11.748.XT912. This update is supposed to provide:
Phone
Improved 4G data connectivity
Eliminated false SIM error messages
Improved performance for transition between 3G and 4G connections
Improved maintenance of network connection upon completion of a voice call
Enhanced Wi-Fi performance
Camera
Enhanced camera performance
Phone Stability
Resolved general stability issues in menu access. Browser, Phone Dialer, video playback and music player reducing Force Close errors and lockups.
Other
Improved readability for Lapdock™ email, SMS and social networking user interface menu items
Updated group message notifications
IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTALLED THIS UPDATE, DO IT NOW! My Razr is now working flawlessly, and (aside from battery life) I can say I love it. The Razr now has the highest sensitivity of any phone I've owned, and that's a lot. I've been with Verizon a LONG time, beginning when it was Metro Mobile CTS. I live in the country, 60 miles south of any major city, and I can now travel between the two without losing a signal!
The RAZR ROCKS! (except for the battery life, like I said, but that's what car chargers are for )

try turning off 4g and just leave the 3g on.there an app for that.and of course make sure data is enabled.you area may not have a good 4g connection.

I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

What Compensation for New Lightroom owners?

I just purchased Lightroom 4 less than 2 weeks ago from Amazon and paid $161.96. Now I see they are offering it for $99.00 with a Photoshop CS5 upgrade. I haven't been able to find anything about any compensation for new users to Lightroom.

I chatted with online help about this situation and he gave me a phone number to call. I called the support line and after 30 minutes of going over everything, giving them the serial number, etc. I was told I could return the software to Amazon and call them, Adobe, and have the serial number deactivated. I tried to get through to her that the software was already installed and Amazon wouldn't be accepting it as a returned. I fianlly just gave up and I'll eat the $61.00. Not worth my time to hassel with this company. I just assumed there would be a proceedure for this since they have policies for time periods when a customer has recently bought Photoshop and a new upgrade comes out. It is still early and they may offer some compensation, as I can't be the only person in this situation.
BTW John Waller, I got no deal on the Lightroom I bought. I believe that was full price. The only reason I even thought about asking for some compensation was I had ordered from Amazon less than 2 weeks ago and had actually only received it about a week ago and had not even had time to register it with Adobe.
Geoff, I intend to upgrade from PSCS5 extended to PSCS6. Thanks for your response.

Helpful advice for new high definition camcorder owner

I recently purchased a new camcorder to record games for our high school basketball team. (Canon vixia HF R10) I have been playing around with the settings to find the best setting for recording fast moving action. Any advice on settings?

Really for a camcorder there isn't anything special. Only things I can think of are:
1) Make sure you do not use any modes (such as "night mode") that can potentially drop the framerate below normal.
2) You probably have the option of 24p and 30p framerate modes - choose 30p for sports.
That's basically it for video.
For still pictures, it's all about the fastest shutter speed, but for video - not important as long as your shutter speed doesn't go so slow as to reduce the framerate.

Best piece of advice for "New to COLOR"...

Sort of like a position statement:
I have been monitoring this forum since it started, having used FT for a bit more than a year now... and having been a dedicated daVinci/telecine colorist for 13 years...and an on-line editor for nearly 20 years before that.
Best piece of advice I can offer to new users of COLOR is:
(Drum Roll) Read the Manual! (Cymbal crash!)
NB: It's good. My compliments to the writer (who is known to the TIG).
So many queries have been posted here that are answered right there in print -- it depresses me to think that maybe Apple are quite right not to include it as a physical article, as so few apparently can afford to peruse it. Even available as a pdf than can be queried on the spot...
Count yourselves extremely fortunate, spoiled, in fact. There was NO MANUAL for Final Touch (to speak of) and less than a handful of people who actually knew what they were doing.
This is a very complex application dedicated to an enormously subtle and exacting task, and the number of ways that it can be used and abused is evidenced by the number of 'bugs' that are being complained about.
Color correction, or grading, is very unlike editing, to voice an opinion, having done both at length. Refer to that "Men Vs. Women" gag panel, where men are represented by an "on/off" switch and women are this ridiculously complicated array of knobs, wheels, dials, meters, multi-position switches, etc. On the other hand, though... I would have no use for "UNDO".... never had it in daVinci-land... don't miss it. But I use it extensively in Final Cut. There you go. Use the active memories, grade bins, room setting bins... There are just TOO MANY shadings of meaning that go into a grade that can be accomodated with DO/UNDO... and besides... BE DELIBERATE!
Happy to join the forum... Where possible I will answer queries with a "page number", and hope that it will be a better learning experience. But I accept that that will only apply to operations, and not colour grading itself. There is no manual for that, although there are books that discuss it. Easier to map human emotions on a quantitative basis. Even Goethe gave up on it.

daVinci-land... don't miss it.
I'll use basemem or original mem as my undo on the 2k+. It's a sledge hammer and not nearly as graceful as command-z but it will work.
Regarding the writer of the manual, Alexis van Hurkman has published an excellent text on color enhancement/correction http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Encyclopedia-Correction/dp/0321432312/r ef=pdbbs_sr1/104-2640225-5516717?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182436900&sr=8-1
I had the pleasure of meeting him at NAB and getting a personal demo of Color at one of the Apple pods.
Nice post, Joe, nice post.

Monitor purchasing advice for a MacPro owner.

Hello everyone!
I want to purchase a new Apple 27" Display. Obviously I would like to buy a Thunderbolt display as it seems the LED display will be on its way out as soon as a TB MacPro is released. When they do release a MacPro with TB I am planning on buying one as I'm way past due on an update.
If I buy the TB display today I have no way of connecting it to my current MacPro. My MacPro has a DVI connection. From what I see there is no way to connect a TB display to my Mac since it doesn't support TB. So means I have no option but to buy the LED version of the monitor and run an adapter (like the Atlona AT-DP400) since my MacPro only has 2 DVI ports.
Once again, here's where the problem arises. When they do release a MacPro with TB (keeping my fingers crossed there will be one out late next year), how will I be able to use this LED monitor? I run a duel-monitor set-up. If I buy a TB monitor next year with the new Macpro I won't be able to use it since from what I understand you cannot plug the LED monitor into the back of the TB monitor and expect it to work.
So what to do? What is the best buying advice you could give someone in my situation? I had one of my 23" Cinema Displays die on me so I'm in the market for a display right away. I do Graphic Design so color is very important (so I don't want to buy a used 23" to get me by till a new MacPro is released since the color does degrade as time goes by.)
Also, what are your thoughts on a new MacPro? I know Apple stated they have something planned for late next year. Would it be rediculous to hope that it has 2 TB ports where I could plug a TB display into one and the LED into the other? Or is that just impossible as TB is suppose to be used as a daisychain? I don't know too much about TB. This is where opinions are welcome as I know that nobody knows what Apple has in store for the new MacPro.
I'm frazzled and want to make sure I spend my $999 wisely. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

That would be fantastic, I'll keep my fingers crossed as well. My current MacPro (6 years old) just isn't working very well with CS6 Photoshop (guess the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB isn't really supported.) Anyhow, thought it would be best to hold out until we see a MacPro with Thunderbolt before I buy a new one.
These new 27" Displays sure are nice though. I'm running it along side my 23" Cinema Display. Like people have mentioned, the glare is a bit distracting since I have windows behind me, but overall I'm very happy with it. I only wish I could set the resolution of the two monitors so when I drag a window from one monitor to the other the size of the window would stay the same.
Thanks for your input!

Need logical setup advice for new iTunes on external HDD and new laptop

New to Win7, would like to know the best way to re-create from scratch my 5+ year old iTunes library on a new external hard drive without simply copying the previous iTunes folder structure over. I guess that I would like to add all the music, video, movie and iPhone app files to a new library. What is the best method to do this so that iTunes can organize all of the new data from scratch correctly? What about reauthorizing apps and media I purchased through iTunes? anything special to do to reintroduce this data to a new iTunes?
(to clarify - I intend to install the iTunes program on my local C drive in programs on the laptop and all data on the external drive) Thanks...

I know I should have redundant backups and should probably have a second external HD and eventually will.
Yes, that's best.
But for now, if I partition (I'm assuming I should) a new 1 TB external HD, how big should I make the TM partition vs. the SD partition at this point assuming I have under 100 GB on my internal Mac HD? Is this a feasible way of doing things here in the near term.
Your best bet is to make your TM partition 2-3 times the size of the amount of data you anticipate backing-up. Put it first on the drive; that way, later on you can delete the partition below it, expand the TM partition, and make a new, smaller partition for SD (or use the whole drive). See #1, #3, #5 and #6 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.
By the way, any recommendations on which peripheral HDs to consider? I was very surprised on a recent visit to my local Apple Store that they have a large stock of WD My Studio drives. I mentioned to an Apple sales person that I had always heard WDs were kind of a no-no among Mac users but she assured me the current crop of them were much improved. Any comment on that??
Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
If you're going to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376

OS X Server: available or not for new Mac owners

I have a new Macbook Pro — less than a month old. Am I entitled to a free copy of OS X Server? Apple Software Update Progrma are just offering me copies of software I already have installed on my Mac (i.e. Numbers, Pages and Keynote), I have no option to ask about OS X Server, though other pages suggest this should be available.

OS X server is not a free item. Buy it from the Mac App Store.

I am a new mac owner and want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told it could be purchased thru the mac store for approx $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). It is priced at $150 at the mac store. Any advice?

I am a new mac owner & want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told I could get it through the mac store for approx. $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). However, it looks like the cost is actually $150. Is there a better deal?

Here it is from a trusted vendor of Mac goodies for US$100:
Microsoft Office 2011 Mac: Home/Student Edition. Single User License.
I also see the Mac version offered about every other week at Staples for about the same price.
Understand that the 2011 "Home/Student" edition does not come with a mail client.MS dropped Entourage with the 2011 version.
I am running Office 2008 on a Late 2010 i7 Quad iMac and a Core 2 Duo MBP (both are at OS 10.6.8) and I have no complaints. If you want the Entourage Mail client, you can still get Office 2008 from the vendor I linked.
I wonder if someone quoted the US$80 price thinking of Apple iWorks.

You cannot reactivate the device without knowing the previous owner's information. This is the new antitheft measure built into the iPhone.
There's nothing you can do. You'll need to purchase a new phone.

If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

Motorola Sending out Invites for New Soak Test.!

Stay tuned I have a feeling more info will come). I seen this late last night some of you Razr HD Razr Maxx HD owners may have seen it) if not here's the Info Via Droid Life there saying it might i caution might be J.B. 4.2 let's see how it plays out.. b33
Here is the Info:.. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/03/motorola-sending-out-soak-test-invites-for-droid-razr-hd-and-maxx-hd/

Hi Dave,
I went ahead and gave Vincent one of the reserved licenses I mentioned due to timing. That invite went fine. I'm still unclear why we can't sucessfully add a new seat and have these invites go out. We will have more request coming soon and I'd like to know what we need to do.
Here are the steps I perfrom when adding a new seat for a new team member:
-As a plan administrator, log into the Console
-Under manage your team, Scroll to the bottom and click on the Add a Seat button
-A new Invite User feild is generated and I select the app from the drop down menu.
-I add the new users email address and click on Invite User button
-A popup asked for the users frist and last name and I can also add a personal message.
-Click Send.
At this point I would expect the user to get the email with in a few minutes and at the same time an email is sent to CDW and a Invoice is generated for payment.
Thisis what we have understood as the proper way to add new seats. Does this sound correct to you? Or are we doing something incorrectly? I also still wonder if the license we have not distributed to staff is some how related to the invite not sending.
-Michael
