  • Anyone have any idea which is the best application for taking notes and essay writting?

    im starting my first year of university and i was wondering what would the best application for taking notes on be? and also whats the easiest, most reliable and effective way to transfer documents off the ipad? Any thoughts on printing aswell?
    will be appreciating all the help i can get!

    You're going to get as many answers to that question as there are people to answer it. You don't state if you want to take handwritten notes or if you will be typing. For handwritten notes, I really like Noteshelf. It has lots of export options, my favorite being to Evernote (which you might want to look into as well for storage). For typing notes, I'd go with Pages, Documents to Go or QuickOffice. For working with PDFs, I like PDF Expert.
    I've recently heard good things about Note Anytime. It is free for a limited time, so it'st probably worth downloading to try out.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Best application for Standard Def DVD creation?

    I have a bunch of MiniDV tapes shot in standard def that I want to make into DVDs for my family. I want to preserve as much picture quality as possible during the process and will be using transitions, overlays, and credits.
    I have used iMovie 08 and abandoned it because I needed dynamic chapter markers. I am now ready to edit the next DVD in the 'series', and with the advent of iMovie 09 and the availability of Final Cut Express at a reasonable price, I am trying to decide which way to go. I also have a copy of iMovie HD 6 which I used for my previous DVD.
    From reading the reviews of iMovie 09 I am pretty confident that I would be happy with it functionally, but not if it costs me in picture quality. I noticed on my first effort using iMovie HD 6 and iDVD, that the DVD picture was not as sharp as the video viewed directly from the camera. Did I do something wrong, or is that a "feature" of iMovie? Would FCE be better?
    My only concern with FCE apart from spending money that I may not need to spend, is the talk of a steep learning curve. With two little kids at home I don't have a lot of spare time. That said, I'd rather spend the time and get a sharp looking DVD than get a mediocre one quickly.
    Thanks for any advice.
    -John

    What do you mean by "dynamic chapter markers"?
    I meant the ability to define the precise location of the chapter within the movie, such that when exported to iDVD the menu allows you to jump to any point you have defined in the movie. By "dynamic" I mean they may be placed at random locations, rather than fixed intervals. iMovie 08 deleted the ability to add chapter markers, iDVD allows only fixed interval chapters (which seems useless to me), as does Toast. I tried the work-around of using Garage Band, but it fails on larger projects. I've read that iMovie 09 has restored the ability to add chapter markers where you want, but if I'm going to shell out more cash I might as well get the package that will get me the best picture too (within reason).
    In any video application, for Chapter markers you simply place them in the application, then edit them in iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, etc.
    Not in iMovie 08/iDVD, but now that you mention it, how does DVD Studio Pro compare to iDVD? I'm mostly focused on picture quality.
    Do you mean better animated titles that you could use within the program? For this FCE is much better, because you don't need to work with the premade things, you can create and animate your own from the ground up.
    That will be fun. Not what I was talking about, but a nice feature. I know that FCE will have lots of capability that iMovie doesn't (by design), that's just gravy.
    I have used iMovie HD 6 to place chapters where I wanted them in my last DVD project, I didn't have much trouble working with it although it is a bit more "professional grade" than iMovie (I know, not saying much). How do the two compare for learning curve/user friendliness? I would like to say that I'd get a book to read on FCE but the truth is that on an average day I don't have time to watch the news let alone read a book.
    In my opinion, FCE is definitely worth the investment and once you learn it you will never want to go back to iMovie!
    Thanks, just the fact that the output is higher quality is a big pull for me. I think I'm going to take the plunge.
    Now for the next question: FCE 4 or 3.5?

  • Best application for enlarging images

    I'm in the process of compiling a slide-show presentation for display at my parents wedding anniversary. The show itself will be a mixture of still images plus short video clips much in this style http://www.studioimpressionsphotography.com/blog/2009/10/stills-and-motion-using-hd-dslr-c ameras/
    I've also scanned some old images from way back but unfortunately these are of relatively poor quality and small. After a lot of touching up etc in Photoshop I'm generally quite pleased with the results although of concern to me is the relatively small file size of the resultant jpeg images - generally around the 1MB mark. I feel sure that when the show is burnt to DVD and displayed using a beamer that some of the quality shall be lost. Therefore I thought it might be best to increase the size of the images, and hence the file sizes, and here is where my question lies.
    I have read that Photoshop is generally good for increasing image size up to approx 200 - 250% but that for anything above that a more specialised/dedicated application would be better. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of this application so could some kind soul jog my memory in this regard. Thanks.

    Thanks Marian, I think that I understand what you are saying but wouldn't swear to it. I'm using an application called Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum into which I shall place the still images (jpegs), short movie clips (MOV), and of course music (mp3) files. Upon burning to DVD this opens another Sony application called DVD Architect which handles the necessary authorising etc.
    I've got to admit that a lot of this goes over my head, expressions - such as authoring etc and in the past I've managed to muddle my way through producing/burning slide show presentations to DVD. These have only been presented on a TV screen or computer monitor via a DVD player though, and not through a Beamer or Projector, which is what prompted my initial question.
    To be honest though, Beamer/Projector resolution wasn't something that crossed my mind really. Looking at it in simple terms I viewed the Beamer/Projector as simply a projection device to which the DVD player is connected, and that so long as the DVD player is playing it all right then the Beamer/Projector will project it. Either way, I'm glad that this project is simply a one-off and that eventually I'll be able to get back to normal photography.

  • Student in need of HELP!Best application for writting java Code?

    I've been working on two different systems and need to be able to work on both..On one system the SDK is installed on a linux machine on another on a windows machine...unfortunately i cant open the linux created files on my windows machine although i can compile ad run them! What application would allow me to work on both systems wothout creating problems?

    Hi,
    I am a bit confused by this question. My colleagues here use Windows to create their files and I use a Linux machine. I have never encountered a problem as described here. Its a company policy here for everyone to save files in UNIX format, so I can readily open and edit those files created in Windows on my Linux box with NetBeans or EMACS I use. Sometimes when my colleagues forget to save their files in UNIX format, I have to apply dos2unix to mend those files, but still that isnt too teadious at all.
    Try opening the files you created in Windows with any text editor that you have available in Linux - vi, emacs, gEdit whatever. And please tell here what problems, if any you encountered, in actually editing them again.
    Correct me if I have misunderstood your question.

  • What is the best application for backing up my HD movies?

    I have a Sony HDR-CX105 which outputs in Full HD (AVCHD Format) and all I want to do is import it into my iMac (Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz) and output say an H.264 MP4 so I can distribute the file to friends.
    If I try to use iMovie (08) it says it willl take about a week to encode a half hour movie!
    I'm sure others have gone through this chain of thought so I was hoping somone may be able to help me...  PLEASE!
    I have been considering;
         Roxio Toast at £85
         Roxio Popcorn at £35
         iMove '11 at £10
    but none offer a trial to establish if it will actually work.
    Please offer constructive comments if you have any, I'm in a mine field right now.
    Many thanks for your time,
    Wesley.

    My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
    There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
    To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
    This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
    This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))

  • Finding the "best" application for backing up

    Thanks for taking time to help me. : )

    I use SuperDuper on our home systems, and my kids use it on their systems, too. I would recommend it as a top notch backup program. As it's preparing to backup or restore, It explains what the program is going to do in non-technical terms. While you can use it for free, paying the fee unlocks features that make it an even better program. For example, the free version backs up the entire disk. The 'unlocked' version gives you options, for example, to back up only those files that have changed since the last backup, which makes for a much quicker backup.

  • Best application for viewing Xcelsius Dashboards in an iPad

    Hello, I have being exploring some options in order to visualize our company´s Xcelsius dashboards on an iPad, so far I have reached a short list of two options: MyBi/Exxova and iswifter, both of them have been approved by Apple and are currently available at the itunes store. I think MyBi/Exxova is a better option because it is more business oriented and is also capable of reading Webi and Crystal reports.
    Any of you have analyzed this options? If so,  I will be glad to know your thoughts about this subject in order to make a more informed decision.
    Best regards.

    Hi,
    Adobe Macromedia Flash player is not supported by iphone so Xcelsius will not run. I see that Flex 4.5 has an option to compile a version compatible with iphone but Xcelsius is still on Flex 2 hotfix 3 so no support that I can see for the immediate future.

  • Best application for anti-virus for macbook pro

    Hi I just recently bought a macbook pro and I was wondering what appliction is best for a anti-virus ??

    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived third party "anti-virus" garbage products are the primary reason for Mac instability, crashes and related problems reported on this site.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Is iPhoto the best application for this?

    I want to create a presentation that I record for distribution as an mp4. I'll be using various slides, like in a powerpoint presentation. For the audio, I will use my voice.
    Do I create the audio first and then the video or the video first and then the audio?
    Is there a better program to use than iPhoto? I currently have iPhoto 08, but can upgrade to iPhoto 09.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jeanie

    Jeanie:
    Do you still have a copy of iMovie HD 6 available? If so I would recommend you use that for creating your presentation as it allows precise alignment of audio to the video/slides. It came with my Power Mac G5 Dual-core 2GHz and can be extracted from the install disks that came with the computer using Pacifist
    Click to view full size
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • What is the best application for clarifying Mac OS 10.5.8

    My application is used primarily for Quicken 2007 for all my expenses, I also save ALL my email. I occasionally use Safari for intellectual use.
    Quite occasionally the system will NOT stop when I select the Apple/Shut Down... Everything is gone
    except the overall picture photo and the cursor arrow head. I have to delete the power to shut it down completely. On occasions, I use Disk Utility 11,.1 utilizing Repair Disk Permissions on the overall system to recover my Apple/Shut Down... for the whole system.

    There must be some app that is not closing. If it happens again, try using the following keyboard command to force quit the app. Option-Shift-Command-Esc (hold for three seconds) - Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6 or later only
     Cheers, Tom
