Anyone recommend a site to help move from 7 to 8?

I'm after a reference guide to help me see how to do the old tricks of 7 in 8 and explain the new features of 8?
I want a quick transition! Been a Logic user for 10 years so pretty stuck in my ways... Thanks in advance.

greetings Podwell... the bad news is that if you are "stuck in your ways" . you may hate the transition.
Whatever you do, dont start a new serious project in L8 until you have played around with it a lot.
The quickest thing to do is get a mate to come round who knows both L7 & L8, start a new project and ask them to help adapt/translate your normal L7 workflow habits for the new program.
I have found there is nothing quicker than this.
For the rest, both this forum and Logic Pro Help are all you need.. along with a great deal of patience
good luck:)

HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display. I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities. It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

Help move from obese Entourage to Mail

I've put off this transition for waaaaay too long, and now I'm stuck, 'bout 80% through.
My Entourage database was over 7 GB, total. I was lazy for not having switched before, but the fact that each email meant that Time Machine had to back up an ~ 7 GB file (every freakin' hour!), and that it would take a minute or more to run a simple search in my contacts list, well, that pushed me to make the change.
So, I did a little homework and found that there was no way I was going to export the entire database in a digestible chunk for Mail to import, so I dragged each mail folder into finder, individually, and then imported them into Mail. No Problem!
But wait! I go in to my (imported) 'in box' and 'sent', each of which had about eleventy-bajillion emails in them in Entourage, and I find that they're both incomplete. They each start at the (chronological) beginning, but each stops at some random date that is only most-of-the-way through the whole list.
So I go back into finder and discover that both files are exactly the same size... 2.15 GB. I find that to be more than coincidental.
My questions to you are these...
Am I limited to a max export size of 2.15 GB for any one mail folder in Entourage? (if yes, I'll go and parse these mama-beater-sized folders into a few smaller ones)
or...
Is there another tool that will allow me to export (and then import into Mail) a folder greater than this magical size limit from Entourage into Mail?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you ever compressed Entourage's database? When you delete emails from the Deleted folder, they don't actually go anywhere. They remain part of the database, though inaccessible.
Close Entourage if it's running. Hold down the Option key and launch it again. What you will be given instead is the Database Utility. Run the option first to "Verify database integrity". If that comes back okay, then run "Compact database". This will rewrite the entire database and leave out all of the deleted items. If you've never done this before, your database size could shrink by a lot.
When that's done, I always run the verify function again just to make sure the new database is okay. Then quit the Database Utility and launch Entourage normally. If everything looks okay, quit Entourage and go to the folder in your user account where the database is. You'll find "Main Identity" and "Main Identity (Backed up date)". The second is your old database before the compress and can be tossed.
I go in to my (imported) 'in box' and 'sent', each of which had about eleventy-bajillion emails in them in Entourage, and I find that they're both incomplete.
For this issue, it may have to do with how many emails eleventy-bajillion is. OS X has a limit of something like 38,000 items per folder. If your email count exceeds that, then that's why it got cut off.

Help Move from Home to Laptop

I have Itunes stored on my home computer with all of my music and movie files. I now installed Itunes on my laptop, how do I get all of the files on my home computer moved over to my laptop?

Can anyone recommend an application to burn DVDs from iMovie, I have a MacPro.

I am looking for a reliable application to burn DVD's from iMovie, apple used to have iDVD but I can't find it on their website, any response will be greatly appreciated, Thank you!

You can still buy iLife DVDs and install (then update, then update...) iDVD. iDVD still works with Mavericks.

I have recently purchased a Panasonic TZ30 but I find that although still photos with upload into iphoto movies will not. I use imovie a great deal and find that I am not able to use the movies from my camera. Can anyone explain please ?

Can anyone esplain why I cannot upload movies from my Panasonic TZ30 camera? I able to upload stills and I was able to upload movies from my previous Panasonic TZ5. Since I use iMovie a gret deal it is very disappointing not to be able to use the videos from my new camera.

What format are you shooting? AVCHD? Not all versions of that are supported.
A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

Satellite A350-07C - How to transfer movies from camcorder?

Hi Everyone. Just wanted to know if anyone knows how I can upload movies from my Sony DCR-TRV19E that has USB and DV iLink slots into my Toshiba Satellite A350/07C?
My understanding is that Sony does not support USB drivers for Windows Vista and 7 (and why not!?) which leaves me the Firewire which in this case is the iLink (DV) slot on the camcorder. Where do I stick this in the Toshiba? Does my Toshiba have a different look Firewire? I know that in my Device Manager I have something that is called ieee 1394 OHCI Complient. But where excatly is it on my model? Is it the little slot on the left that looks like the DV of my camcorder (it has a lable on the top that says EX on it)?
Or is it through the PCI card slot that is on the left side (that also says on it EX)?
Please help me?

i have good experience with Sony camcorder and I can recommend you to use firewire cable.
You are right this is this small DV interface. On your notebook there should be the same on the left notebook side.
It is the first port placed near the USB port.
Both devices have small 4 pin slot so buy right 4 to 4 pin cable.
When you connect the cam just switch it and it should be recognized automatically.
If you need more help let me know.

Can't rent or buy movies from iTunes

Rant On:
I am completely frustrated and angry about how iTunes is supposed to rent or allow purchase of movies. I have not had one movie rental out of several tries that went successfully without having to contact Customer Service and complain. I purchased "Looper" & watched it on my iTV over the holidays, and now it cannot be played on either my Mac Mini or loaded to my iPhone 5.
The movie appears in my iTunes Movie library on my Mac Mini. When I tried dragging it to my iPhone, I got a strange error message that the movie was still "in the cloud" and wasn't available until I download it. I can't see any way to accomplish this. Once I tried moving it the first time to my iPhone, it now won't let me move it again at all.
If I go to the movie on iTunes from my iPhone, I see a "Download" button but the movie won't download since it's > 50 MB. When I go to iTunes from my Mac Mini, it only offers me the choices to rent or buy the movie again.
Just incredibly frustrating. I definitely DO NO RECOMMEND anyone trying to rent or buy movies from iTunes!!!

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided, and none have been given here. What did you do to try to buy or rent something? What happened when you tried? Did you get an error? If so what was it. Just posting "did not work" is not going to get you very far.

Does anyone have a site i can view?

hi there,
i am currenty using iWeb to publish a site, mainly of pictures. i am most likely going to punlishing via my .mac trial account. does anyone have any sites they've published from iWeb using either a .mac account or uploading to a different host? if you can post the URL of the site, it would be a great help so i can see how they turn out, the more the better...
thanks!
MacBook2,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here are a couple...
The first is a standard Iweb site with a littler added slideshow coding to make it a little better than the normal Mac offering.
http://www.dougbarberphotography.com/Welcome.html
The next one is one i'm still building.... But there is enough to see where I'm going. This site I've added a (comment function) on the book page and an external link page connection on the video page. This allows the video to open in a new window instead of the standard (same window) as is the default in IWeb.
Finally, I'm working on a blog page that will allow images to be played in a slideshow without leaving the blog page.
This site will very much expand once the project it was created for begins in the fall of 2007

Both site are NOT hosted on .mac as that server speed is just to slow and exspensive.
Good luck

Can anyone recommend a product to delete duplicate songs?

I now 20,445 duplicate songs I need to clean up. I cannot possibly imagine doing this manually, nor can I delete my library and start over b/c burning the whole thing was entirely too cumbersome to begin with. I've heard of some products like Dupe Eliminator that can do this for you, but I'm not too tech savvy and am afraid this could inadvertently delete my entire library.
Can anyone recommend a product to remove duplicates from my hard drive?

Yes, you can use the program I wrote to do it for you.
I recommend you backup your Library file first (not all the music files themselves, just the Library files in <pre>My Documents\My Music\iTunes\</pre>
Download the "EXE" file from here:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/index.html#itunesremoveduplicates
It will download as a ZIP. Open the ZIP and run the EXE (teridonsitunesscripts.exe). From the menu, select itunesremoveduplicates (15).
When asked, select the Library playlist (number 1).

Can't. This is done for the individual movie, not by iTunes.
Some have it, most don't.

Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
Hide
Set up automatic iCloud uploading
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

I just opened an email from someone I knew via Insight Broadband. It was a link. I clicked on it and it led to a enhancement drug web site. Do you think I downloaded a virus? I didn't buy any anti-virus software. Thanks to anyone who has time to help me.

Hello:
There are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - none. FWIW, I suggest that you NOT buy A/V software. It is a waste of both money and computer resources.
Having said that, there are a couple of instances of malware that have popped up. Just don't follow links from unknown sources.
