Best set up for Keynote with host projectors.

I'm a presenter that's made the switch from PowerPoint /PC to Keynote. Heading out on the road for the first time with my MacBook / Keynote presentation and facing 8 different host projectors. I don't expect to find many DVI projectors. But I'm bringing an mini DVI to DVI adapter, in case I do. I also will bring a mini DVI to VGA adapter. I'm running a 2GHz Macbook with 2 GB SDRAM.
I'm was comfortable making connections with my old PC with host projectors, but I'm anxious about what problems might arise connecting with my Mac.
Any tips on getting set up and settings right and minimizing problems for display.

Welcome to the world of the "road warriors."
The best procedure is to connect the projector to the computer (via whatever cables and adaptors are required) and then boot-up the computer. After this is complete, turn-on the projector.
When it has warmed-up, go to System Preferences / Displays menu and click the Detect Displays button. This should select the proper settings for both your computer display and the projector. If not, you may need to find the right setting for the projector by "trial and error." (You also may need to fiddle with some of the projector's own controls.)
Once this is done, go to the Keynote / Preferences / Slideshow menu and check the button that says "Present on Secondary Display." This will direct the slideshow presentation to the projector and the Presenter Display to your computer screen (see below). Feel free to check any of the other boxes that you feel are appropriate. (I recommend checking all of the square boxes.)
Finally, go to the Keynote / Preferences / Presenter Display menu and check ALL of the boxes. (You can choose whether the timer counts up or down as you wish.) This will put the Presenter Information onto your computer screen and show you a lot of very helpful information while you are playing your presentation.
Finally, you can adjust the position and organization of the Presenter Display if you click the Enter Presenter Layout button.
One more hint: Google the phrase "test patterns." This should bring-up a list of various TV test patterns. Find one you like and copy it into your slideshow as the first slide. Use this BEFORE THE AUDIENCE ARRIVES to adjust the projector's image and focus. Then advance to the first real slide of your presentation and you are ready to go.
Good luck.

Linksys WRTU54G-TM on the way, best set up for use with my Airport Extremen

I am about to sign up for T-Mobile at home which uses the Linksys WRTU54G-TM router for it's voip functions to connect to a standard phone. Currently I am on broadband (cable) internet using a Motorola surf board cable modem stashed away in my home networking cubby in my bedroom closet where it sends it's signal via cat 5e to the den where I hook up to my Airport Extreme and serve out the wireless signal.
I want to put the Linksys in the closet too, basically in between my cable modem and my Airport Extreme so things will be basically the same. Now I have read a little about the Linksys and it does have the option to run in "bridge" mode as does the Airport Extreme, what I am wondering is what is the best option, make the Linksys the bridge and continue to let my Airport be the DHCP server or the other way around and let the Linksys be the DHCP and bridge my Airport.
Sorry for the long question, anyone have any input?
thanks,
Danimal

Thanks for the input Duane, I was also thinking along with same lines that the Linksys might need to be the DHCP as it is the VOIP Gateway. I will try both and see what happens.
Luckily for me my home's infrastructure is a channel vision system that basically has a patch panel with a single input (combo RJ11 or RJ45) and 6 outputs. Currently I have the telco cat5e service line plugged into the input and then the rooms that I have phones in get their respective cat5e plugged into the output jacks. The cat5e cable to the office where the AEBS is located just goes straight into the cable modem.
I had planned on using the RJ11 output of the Linksys and using a short phone cable plugging the other end into the input of the channel vision (after unplugging teclco's line) so I can distribute to the rooms with phones as is now.
I guess ultimately the channel vision system could be better if it had a data side and a voice side instead of just having to use it for one or the other.

Let's see if I understand this... You're asking for advice on building a desktop computer, in the Apple developer's forum? Why not just buy a Mac?

What is the best, set up for beginers?

What is the best set up ,for most , older people?

What Adobe program are you asking about?
Also, what is your operating system (Windows, Mac OS, ...)?

Ideally it is best to have seperate (discreet) EHD's for a PC and Mac due to their differences in HD formatting. However, this is not always feasable but there are alternative solutions availble. Among those are:
Creating and useing a Dropbox account that can be shared by PCs, Macs, IOS and Android devices. Dropbox allows for 2GB of free storage and additional storage is available for a small monthly fee.
Another possiblity is formating an EHD so that it may be shared by both a PC and Mac, this format is FAT 32. The downside of doing this is the size of the files written to the HD are limited to 4GB.

I'm not sure what settings you are referring to. If you mean the import CD settings, there would be no point in changing them after importing the CD, would there?
As for the best setting for audio quality, it's down to your preference. Many people will not hear the difference bewteen one setting and another. The best thing to do is import the same song several times using different import setttings (and change the song title so you know which one is which) and then listen to them on your iPod. Then decide.
Unless you have specific reasons for using the WAV setting, don't use it. It will use up a lot of space on your iPod and you cannot tag WAV files in the same way as the other formats.

Keynote with a Projector...

I'm giving presentations to a group using Keynote and a projector. Is there a way to show the presentations without the audience seeing the Keynote files screen? The easy fix would be to put them all into a single presentation but I need the flexibility to change up the order if needed, so I need them in separate files. It's not very professional for the audience to see what's going on in the background.
I am open to the idea of using a different app. I'm new to the Apple environment and don't know what solutions might be available.
Any advice would be welcome.

Most projectors display a logo when there are in a sleep mode, some let you substitute your own logo.
There is no way to do what you want with the iPad.

What is the best set up for video editing?

What is the best computer? The best software? The best external storage? The best ram? 3D editing? Everything!!!!!!
Running full HD and 720p at 60 fps videos. Clips ranging from a few seconds to 10-30 minutes.
Cost isn't an issue.
What is the best set up, not the most excessive. If it doesn't need to be there or it isn't greatly needed I would like to know. This is looking at the production aspects, not the camera and such. What is the best plug in for slow motion? Pros and Cons of the set up?
I would greatly appriciate everyones input in this. Thank you so much.

That is a hard question to answer.. Nothing is best for everyone... However if i am to generalize it I would put it this way.. If you want to cut everything from a short promos to hollywood pictures..
A high end windows pc (only cause mac pro hasn't been updated in ages)
Avid Media Composer with Nitrus DX
Two monitors
Broadcast monitor
HD Deck
pimping 5.1 speakers
A good mixer
You are looking at over 70,000 or 80,000, could even approach even more.. HD decks run atleast 15k.
If price is not an issue then there you go....
However this is not realistic for most people nor best solution by no means... I run a macbook pro with Avid (as primary) Final Cut 7, Final Cut X (for practice, didn't have to use it for a job yet), and Premiere (just in case)
I am a final cut child who grew up on it and love it however everything I am doing in last few years is on AVID...
Have a second monitor..
I am very portable and rest of the gear I usually get where ever I work at.. I am looking into getting a good broadcast monitor connected with AJA thunderbolt..
Like I said this is very open question, there is no (BEST) it all depends what you will be doing.. If you get AVID (which can do everything, however is cluncky as **** and counter intuitive) but you are only cutting wedding videos and short format stuff, it would be an overkill galore.. Just get FCP X in that case... Simple,easy, one app...
Be more specific and you will get clearer answers..

Best set up for new imac?

In brief:
Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
Thanks.

Keep it simple . . . . project files (tiny) stored in default position on iMac and media files etc. on one or both of your external HDs.
You should have no problem daisy-chaining.
I use a cheap Belkin Firewire Hub (which some folks don't recommend) together with daisy-chaining for my 2 FW HDs, A-D Converter and cameras.

Best wireless router for use with Powerbook 15"

Not everyone uses the Apple Airport, and some who do have mixed feelings about the various models.
What is the best wireless router, from any manufacturer, for use with an AlBook? What has the least problems, most reliable, strongest signal, fewest drops, best range, etc in your experience.

Joeski,
I'll have to get back to you on what card my wifes laptop is using. I think it's a 802.11a/g, but I will confirm. My Powerbook 1.67 has the built in wireless card and to be honest, I have never looked to see what it uses.
We have our D-Link router set up for WPA2.
Neither her or I have had any issues when we have had to connect anywhere to any other wireless network and when I come home, I can connect back to my router automatically since my network is set up on my Powerbook as my 1st network of choice in connecting.
As far as replacing the antenna, I really dont know. It's has 3 antennas on it and I get a great signal, so I never thought about replacing it.
Hope this information is helpful to you!

Best hard drive for use with Time Machine

Hi,
Has anyone determined what the best external hard drive is for use with Time Machine? Is there a particular one that works exceptionally well with Time Machine, or is it much of a muchness?
I'm looking for a Firewire 400 & Firewire 800 drive that STAYS ON all the time, and doesn't automatically spin down or spin up like the rubbish WD My Book drives do.

I can't tell you if it is the "best" hard drive for you to use with TM, but I'm quite happy with the 500 GB Buffalo Technology DriveStation Combo TurboUSB I bought recently. It is quiet, quite inexpensive for the capacity (I paid about $120 for one on sale at Fry's), & completely compatible with OS X & TM.
Best of all for me, it automatically powers down when my iMac sleeps. It also spins down after a time if the Mac's Energy Saver preference "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" is checked; otherwise it remains spun up until the Mac is put to sleep or switched off.
It comes with "Turbo" USB & Memeo "AutoBackup" software, neither of which I installed. (The box didn't claim these extras came in a Mac version but both Mac & Windows versions were included on the CD.) Out-of-the-box, I reformatted the drive with the Apple Partition Map scheme & two partitions, a 160 GB one for cloning my internal drive & the rest for TM. The drive works perfectly for both uses & seems quite fast, as one would expect from a 7200 rpm SATA drive.

HT3771 set up for printing with HP Designjet 500ps (Using Mac os 10.4.11 Printer is set up correctly showing on Mac-Updates installed but still won't print-Printer shows TIME OUT)

Set up for HP Designjet 500ps using Mac os x 10.4.11 Does any one know where to upload
Leopard os x 10.5 The printer will not print until I have the updated software. Ebay sell the
disc on their auction site, but only on disc not a download which is more convenient & faster
to get in a hurry.The software installed in the mac is working the way it should & showing up
as it would but it seems as though there is a driver that's needed. The results in any articals
that I have read suggest you don't need any drivers if you use HP EasyPhotoSoftware installed.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here, not "Apple Inc."
You might have better a response to your questions by posting them in the OS X 10.4 Tiger forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.4_tiger
or in the PowerMac forums:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_macof
This forum is for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since that version won't run on your PowerMac, you're not likely to get many helpful responses here.
In any case, I'll try to offer some basic troubleshooting suggestions:
The PS designation on your printer denotes the PostScript printer language. Is your applications software and current printer driver configured to send PostScript (or HP-GL or HP-PCL or ???)
Does ANY application print anything (even gibberish) to the printer?
HP still shows a DesignJet 500 series raster driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger available to download here:

Does the printer time-out with every program, or just one? Have you tried another cable?
OS X 10.5 Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. It was never sold as a download, sold only on CD/DVD disc. Discs might still be available for purchase on eBay.
OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is the oldest version of OS X still sold by Apple, and it too is available ONLY on CD/DVD for $20, but it will not run on your PowerMac, because Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor: os x snow leopard requirements
HP DesignJet 500 basic printer documentation is available as a pdf document and downloadable file here: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults?sp4ts.oid=2 5301&ac.admitted=1391720518005.876444892.199480143
How is the printer connected to the computer? Are you using a USB interface, a Centronics 'Parallel' interface, or a JetDirect network interface?
It appears that the network timeout default for the printer was 30 minutes, but it can apparently be set in the range of anything 30-seconds and longer. The manual notes that some software does not send an 'end of job' postscript marker, so that is the reason for the time-out setting.

Best drum loops for use with Logic? Ease of use, usability, etc.

Hi,
I have BFD2 but find it slow to load and sometimes clumsy auditioning loops within Logic. I love the Apple Loops library but I wondered if people are importing MIDI drum files for use with Logic. Do all drum files use the same MIDI mapping? If I drop a BFD2 loop into a Logic drum virtual instrument will it work? I bought a few packs from Groove Monkee but have yet to use them with Logic. I only use them within BFD2.
I'm basically looking for a seamless way to stay within Logic to improve my workflow. It's taken me days sometimes to get a drum track right by going back and forth with BFD2. Is there a concept I'm missing that would make it easier?
Thanks
