Any other programs to use......

Hi all,
I am wondering if there are any photo enhancement programs out here other than iPhoto or Photoshop CS3 or Aperture.
iPhoto does not really do too much, I am trying to correct red eye and the only color option is black.
Photoshop CS3 & Aperture are 2 great programs but for an older retired guy there is just way too much of a learning curve for them. Is there anything in between?
Thanks to all, and wishing you and your families a very happy Holiday Season.

Checkout
Photoshop Elements
Acorn
Graphic Coverter
for instance. The second pair can be downloaded and have a try out period. There are other image editors too - check on MacUpdate.
For Red Eye specifically you could try Red Eye Pilot

There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox.

The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval (I think every 5 or 10 min) when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox. It does not happen if Firefox is not running (i.e. it does not start by itself). The OS is Windows 7 SP1 and this begun after installing the Firefox update 5.0.1. Exactly all programs are updated with the latest version, the computer is clean according to Microsoft Security Essentials. Please solve this problem.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button -> place Checkmark on '''Show the Downloads window when downloading a file''' -> select Radio Button option2 '''Always ask me where to save files'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window

-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
'''[[Firefox hangs]]'''
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit (Mozillazine article)]'''
'''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

Good luck. I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything. iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist.
In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files). You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order. Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song. You'll still have to double-click on each song.
Might be a good time to learn AppleScript It would also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

Cannot print to Adobe Acrobat X from any other program

I recently installed Acrobat X on my Windows XP3 system. Previously, the Adobe Printer installed by the Acrobat 8 was accessible from any other program. I simply chose the Adobe PDF printer and the documents "printed" to Acrobat. With the Acrobat X install, this no longer works.
I've tried repairing the Acrobat X - no luck
I've tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then allowing Acrobat to re-install the printer during the repair - no luck
I've checked the Adobe PDF printer properties, and do not have "Enable advanced printing features" checked.
I am using the print spooler.
The Adobe PDF printer is using the Adobe PDF Converter driver.
I've read through a number of discussions/posts, and have not found a solution. I am working around the problem by printing to pdfFactory program and then saving as a .pdf, then managing the files in Acrobat X.
If anyone is aware of a solution/location, please respond to this post.

Are you saying there is no Adobe PDF printer, or it does not work? If it simply that it does not seem to work, then try to print to file with the printer. Then open the file in Distiller. If you get a resultant PDF, then the problem is most likely that you have somehow deactivated AcroTray.exe in the running applications. The program is in the Acrobat folder and needs to be started in that case. It should also be listed in your boot sequence for startup.

Any other programs that play downloaded HD movies?

Hello,
I was curious if there are any other programs that play HD movies downloaded on itunes? I know I can use Quicktime player for SD movies, I guess it isn't designed for HD. I know you can watch the movies in itunes, but was wondering if there are any other programs that I could use as a stand alone?
thanks for your time.

How to tell what other program is using webcam?

Hello,
My in-laws sometimes (maybe 20% of the time) get a message that says that the webcam is already in use by another program when they try to video chat with us. The message is in Danish and says something like "Webcamaret bruges af et andet program". They haven't started any other program. iChat shows a green camera icon on both their buddy list and on our remote system's buddy list.
Restarting or stopping iChat and disconnecting/reconnecting their webcam always seems to fix the problem, but I'd like to understand how to fix once and for all. Restarting is time consuming and rather disruptive for them and reseating the webcam is difficult for them physically to do.
They have a Mac Mini Intel 1.66 Core Duo. I recently switched out their firewire-based iSight with a USB-based Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac. They had the same problem with both, but they don't have the iSight any longer to try it again.
They are half-way across the world, and not tech-savvy, so resetting the PMU won't be possible.
I've looked through their Console logs, but don't even see any error message when it occurs.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
David

Hi,
Have them check in System Preferences > Accounts > (The Logged in account) > Login Items.
This is a list of the apps and utilities that start up when the Mac does.
(iTunes Helper is a common one that most people have).
This is one common cause of another app having access the the camera.
Look for iMovie, Photo Booth, Any System or iChat Add-On relating to Camera and camera tweaks, Any Software for the Logitech (It should not need to be started up at computer Launch)
Comic Book if bundled with their Mac.
Also check this list EZ Jim's Work
I would also get them to Check the System Profiler and then use the reveal Triangles to see Hardware > USB
If you have another way to login in to their computer other than iChat Screen Sharing then you could run this in Terminal
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
With iChat Shut down:-
Copy and Paste the Bold Text into Terminal and then hit the Enter key.
This will start iChat and Create Log in Terminal.
When the Buddy List has finished Loading Quit iChat in the Normal Way.
Copy the whole Log up to that point and paste it into TextEdit and send it to your self.
If you read through it, it should list two Cameras:-
1) the External (Or any Internal iSight for other reading this)
2) A software one ready for iChat Screen Sharing.
If the Regular one lists a Count less than 0 (zero) then iChat is having a job reading the Hardware state.
If this is the case then you could try deleting com.apple.iChat.plist from their Home Folder/Library/Preferences (Just drag it to the Trash)
iChat will need to be restarted where it will rewrite that .plist after checking the System again.
NOTE:-
This does lose all the other settings they have changed from Defaults in the iChat Preferences except the Accounts pane. (Saved Transcripts, Font choices, IM colours etc)
Are they using their Web Browser to Chat on Flash Based or the Google Mail Web Chat page ?
If that Tab or Window is still open (if they are still in a "Room") the camera will be "held" by the web Browser.
If they do use this method and it is Flash check they have not ticked the "Remember" button to Allow access each time they use that Chat site (I am not sure if the Google Chat Plug-in has a similar "Allow" Pop Up).
FaceTime for the Mac (The Beta) can in fact use the camera at the same time as iChat. It does not seem to matter which application is launched first.
Resetting the SMC on the Mac Mini is not invasive
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
See the third Expandable link in this Article (Near the bottom)
In most cases it can be just that the System has flagged somewhere that it thinks the camera is in use when in fact nothing is.
A PRAM reset may sort it but the SMC reset is more certain.
A PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT PR Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
Hope this helps.

4 - launch iPhoto.
5 - relaunch the other programs and try the media browser again.
