Anybody using their intel i-mac for professional use?

Is anybody using Intel i-Mac for professional use? (Music or video production?). I went to the Apple store here and checked the Powermac G5 2.0, Intel i-Mac and a Macbook pro. They all seem equally fast. (I tried loading songs in Garageband, opening multiple apps, switching between them, loading samples etc). What's your experience?

Have been using PhotoShop and InDesign and have found "saving" to be a problems sometimes when you have made a number of changes. The spinning ball keeps spinning. Suggest that anyone using it (Rosetta) save more frequently as I've had to Force Quit on some documents more frequently with loss of work.

  • Use "Back to my Mac" for off-site TM backup?

    Can I use "Back to My Mac" for a Time machine backup.
    I'd like to setup a remote hard disk on my parent's iMac so I can backup remotely. I'll do the same for them on this site. Unfortunately, I suspect it's not that easy yet.
    We both have 1Mbps upload speeds so it'd be fine for backup of changes, but for the initial backup we'd have to move our laptops to each others' houses.

    Anyone know?

  • I travel for work and use iCloud - I can not use back to my mac because i use a Verizon MiFi wireless that does not have NAT-PMP or UPnP. Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem

    All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

  • Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

    Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

    If you mean the application AIM for Mac, it will depend on your download speed.
    If you mean "Can I use iChat with an AIM a screen name and does it cost anything ?" then the answer is Yes you can and no it does not cost and there is no download to do.
    If you mean "Can I use the AIM service with an @mac screen name and can this be done for free ? " then the answer is again yes.
    A trail account cost nothing and will work in ichat after the 60 days is up
    A Paid for but Lapsed account will also work in iChat and for this purpose can now be considered free.
    As I said and hinted at before your first question does not make it clear what you are actually asking.
    The Application AIM for Mac is stuck at version 4.7 and does not do Video or Audio Only chats.
    It has things that are useful in tweaking Buddy Lists in iChat but it is not specifically needed to contact AIM Buddies.

  • Remote Connection using Back to my Mac for Time Capsule?

    How do I connect to my Time Capsule and connected usb drive/printer now that Back to my Mac for Mobile Me is disabled and iCloud is running Back to my Mac?
    More information:
    I used to use the Mobile Me's version of Back to my Mac to enable connecting with my time Capsule, but how is this done now that iCloud has taken over Back to my Mac and I have upgraded to Lion.
    I have a Feb2011 MBP and a 2010 minimac the macmini is always connected to the time capsule, but I would like to be able to connect directly to the time capsule without having to go through the macmini.
    Thank you for your help

    It is possible but I am not sure it is worth the hassle..
    Your key issue here is public IP for your network.. if you have a static ip you are fine.. but very few people have this. It also depends on how the TC is setup.. is it the main router for the network or plugged into a modem router which has the role of main router, even if you use the TC as a secondary router.
    Without more info..
    1. This is easy if you have a static public IP and the TC is the main router and gets the public IP on the wan port.. just go to disk sharing in the airport utility manual setup and check for wan (internet access).
    2. If you have a dynamic IP, then you will have to sort out how you are going to find that IP.. the normal method to use dyndns account is not directly applicable because the TC has no client. It is possible to set up dyn dns but you will need to purchase your own domain name.
    3. You may find it easier to use standard router and bridge the TC. A standard router can be setup to port forward 548 AFP files service to the TC ip address. You may or maynot be able to access the printer. Certainly would be easier if the printer has IPP services. And is a true network printer.
    4. Use vpn.. get a vpn router so you can setup proper vpn endpoints.. then you use VPN service to access your local network.. this is far more secure and will work with dyndns just fine.

  • 4k video app for professional use, auto focusing issue

    Hello Sony Z3 support,
    I would like to address the developers of 4k video camera app. I know it's a stand alone application that shoots 4k.
    I shoot video professionally and now experiencing the change from full hd to 4k.
    Sony has the best 4k camera on the market these days, and me personally, I purchased this phone to be able to shoot 4k video using the smartphone.
    Currently 4k app lacks some pro features to make the shooting, but that's ok. The main issue here is its auto focusing whenever picture changes. So many shots were ruined by this issue. It's not a bug or hardware problem, it's just lack of possibility to disable the auto-focus.
    My feature request about 4k video camera app is as simple as this:
    - ability to select between auto and manual focus
    - focusing on tap
    It's been already implemented on regular photo/video app, but not in 4k video app. Without this feature this 4k camera cannot be used for professional purposes.
    I know it wasn't designed for a pro video, but I'm talking about something that may change the market like Canon DSLRs did with Full HD video few years ago.

    you should contact Sony Xperia Support, and let them know about your request.

  • Can't Use Video with other Mac users who use AIM

    I know that ichat is compatible for video chats with other pc users who use aim, but does it work with other mac users who use aim?
    Everytime I try to chat with my friend, I get an error message when trying to start of a video chat.
    BTW, I use a iMac G5 with an isight camera.

    Hi Staci,
    For a Bit of Clarity.
    AOL have their Instant Message App. referred to as AIM.
    Apple decided and did a deal with AOL that iChat could join their service Buddy Lists.
    On these Discussions we tend to refer iChat as Logging into AIM, as they are the servers that the Buddy Lists are held on.
    As iChat can also use Bonjour and Jabber, both of which have their own Buddy list window on your Mac. The Jabber side needs you to have a Jabber screen name - so again people differentiate between this and the AIM side.
    I would guess you friend is trying to make it clear that she is using the AIM side of iChat as opposed to the Jabber side.
    As has been said already, the Application side of things also tend to get referred to generically as "AIM" as well.
    The Mac version has stopped and 4.7 and will only Text chat.
    The PC side needs 5.9 to clearly Video or Audio chat with a Mac using iChat. (AIM 6.0 is not stable enough to A/V chat to iChat).

  • When using Back to my Mac can I use a local printer to print from the remote Mac?

    When using Back to my Mac to access an iMac from a MacBookPro all with the latest OS updates may I use a local printer connected to the MacBook to print a document located on the iMac?  If so, how?  It looks like if I try to print it will all happen on the iMac.  Thanks.

    PeterFazio wrote:
    The problem is that when in screen sharing mode the print command is executed on the remote computer.
    I appreciate that, but it will still list the printer in your local location if things are set up properly and if it is you can print, if it isn't you can't, but you should be able to print it as a pdf, transfer the file to your local computer and print it from their.

  • Do I have to use iPhoto on my Mac if I use iPhoto on my iPad

    I use Aperture 3 on my Mac. I want to have iPhoto on my iPad now that it's available, but if I'm not using iPhoto on my Mac, will my photo sync between iPhoto and Aperture?

    You can import photos from your iPad to Aperture, same as any photos on your iPad. There's no special link  between iPhoto for iOS and iPhoto on the Mac.
    The iPhoto for iOS forum is here

  • I want to set up two apple id's (w/facetime)  one for personal use, and one for professional use.   I get the validation email, click the link -and it says it won't work for security/timeout reasons.   failure prevents setup of second account.

    I can set up my personal account just fine.  personal apple id is my [email protected]  - I can setup the ipad and face time no problem.
    But I don't want to be facetime tutoring with my personal account.  I want students to find me by my .edu address
    I cannot complete the second apple Id setup, as the confirmation email always fails.  Even if I disable all firewall/blocking in outlook and windows. 
    I get an error every time.  
    Your request couldn't be completed.
    This may have occurred for security reasons or because your session timed out.
    So much for Apple being the "simpler" PC for users.  
    I've been a Windows user/technician for many years.   I've never seen anything this aggravating.
    Anyone run into this before?

    Saw this in another forum. You could try it.
    Under the FaceTime Account you can only have 1 email set up, but below that you can set up multiple email accounts as phone numbers, I do it all the time.
    FaceTime is set up with my account, but since the iPad is more of a family device (its mine, but everyone is allowed to use it), my sister programed her email so that her friends can call her on the iPad and so did my Mom and brother. Their friends dial their numbers (email addresses) and the iPad still rings even though the main number is mine account.

  • Sx50 hs for professional use?

    The short answer to that question is "yes". If your pictures are good enough, it matters little what camera was used to take them. Better equipment will make any photographer better; but on average, the better you already are, the more difference better equipment will make.
    Buy the Sx and use it until you can see with your own eyes why you need something better. Then make your next purchase on the basis of what your abilities and objectives are at that time and on what you can afford. Repeat as necessary.

  • Rendering from AECS5 (Mac) for someone using Windows Media Player 11?

    Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so what settings, I could render out of AECS5 on a Mac to a format someone using Window Media Player 11 in Windows XP so they could view the file?
    They are unable to install any other software or codecs other than what comes stock with the XP install.
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    MPEG-2 should work. If you include audio, you will get a .mpg file which WMP should play.
    Edit: Sorry, I am wrong about that; they would need to have a DVD decoder pack installed which apparently doesn't come standard.
    Here are two links that don't have an answer, but have info about the problem:

  • I installed Firefox 4 on my new computer and am getting a banner on some web pages stating "Additional plug ins are required to display all the media on this page - I haven't had this problem until today; I have been using Firefox on my Macs for years.

    I just bought a new MacBookPro to replace my 3 year old MBP. I was not receiving the banner when I was on my old Mac running Firefox 3.6.16.
    The yellow banner seems to appear randomly. I got it when I went to https://artistsnetwork.tv/e-myvideos.aspx and https://bit.ly.com but not when I went to Hootsuite, Twitter or textbroker.com.
    There is an "Install missing plugins" button on the right side, but I'm afraid to click on it since I don't understand what might happen to my new computer.
