hi all,
me and my wife both have iphones and have recenly bought a ipad and apple tv. I am getting a bit frustrated as i cant work out the best way to store and easily view my old pics and video files.
the shops salesman convinced me to by knowhow cloud which seemed brilliant but it wont back up al photos so ill go back to the shops. its just app on the phone that shows all pics stored on my windows pc
i also want to know what way is best to store and view some .mod files or moi files. I have air video which works great for divx files but not the ones i want ex my video camera
any help greatly received
main reason for the ipad is to create a central hub for viewing pics and videos on and streaming to tv in background when we have parties or just remenicising

Unfortunately, the playback of non-iOS-native video formats (everything except mov / mp4 / m4v) is horrible through Apple TV and it, because of the inherent speed restrictions of Wi-Fi, can't be helped other than:
- pre-converting your video files to mov / mp4 / m4v before playing them. (THis is the best solution.) For this, you will want to use the absolutely best and fastest video converter, the free(!!!) HandBrake. Don't ever think of paying any money for any video converter - most other titles are way inferior to HandBrake. (See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps for more info on this q.)
- using a VGA or HDMI adapter and connecting your TV directly to the iPad.

What is the best way to make and organize home videos? Macbook Pro? iPad?

I have a Sony Handycam HD camcorder and a macbook pro. Right now, I'm creating home videos by dumping all raw video into iMovie, adding a date/time stamp and saving the video to an external hard drive. Is this the best way for me to create and store these home videos with my current setup? I also take some video with my iPhone and include them in the iMovie projects as well. I want these videos to be around for a long time and I'm afraid I'm going to lose them since I've graduated from DVDs to actual .mov files.
With that said, I would like to find a more streamlined approach. Idealy, I would love to replace my macbook pro with an iPad and use the iMovie app to process all of my home videos and then save to iCloud or an external hard drive. Is this possible?

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

What's the best way to import and manage iPhone video?

I don't really want to use iPhoto for importing video - it doesn't seem like it's built with that in mind even though it's the default option for importing both photos and videos. It doesn't have very good (if any) options for filtering just videos or just photos, either when viewing or importing. And I don't want to have videos all jumbled in with photos in my iPhoto library.
I also don't really want to use iMovie every time I want to import videos. I know it's designed for video, but it's far more of an editing app than a management app and I don't want to be editing all my videos or loading up iMovie just to browse them.
I considered Clipstart but it commits a cardinal sin when it renames all my videos in the Finder to a sequential numbering that begins at 01.mov for each new day, creating hundreds and thousands of identically titled movies in the video library, albeit in their own folders, but chaos if you want to search in Spotlight or anything.
So I'm left with Image Capture, which gives me complete control of what I import and where it goes. The problem is that it too doesn't offer a filter for seeing just the videos or just the photos on my iPhone. My photos are all being imported automatically by Photostream so I only want to grab the videos. If I set 'view by width' it seperates out the videos because they have no width tag, but then they aren't displayed by date order so I can't easily find the new videos I've not imported before.
So... what do you do?

That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

What is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on several devices? (iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone)

I have several Apple devices (iMac, MacBook and iPhone) and I was wondering what is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on these devices?
I have an iCloud acount as well, but how to sync without seeing enteries double (iCal)?
Many thanks!

iCloud should not cause duplicate entries in Calendars unless you are syncing using iTunes as well as Wi-Fi. No need for both.
iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device Settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Calendars

Best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?

What is the best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?
Step by step in simple wording please, since I am new at this.
Thank you so much.
Walter

As you probably know by now, DVD camcorders are not compatible with FCE or pretty well any other DV based editing system.
Possibly the simplest (though not cheapest) route would be by using an Analogue-Digital converter.
Streamclip and other similar programs are supposed to work but I have had no experience with them.
In the long run probably the best (but costly) solution would be to buy a Mini-DV camcorder - it doesn't have to be a top of the range model - even the cheapest ones can produce high quality video. Then you would not have to mess around converting DVD files with the inevitable loss of quality it entails.
A cheap DV camera need be not much more expensive than an A/D converter.

What is the best way to sync contacts and calendars

Advice please
I am pulling my hair out trying to determine the best way to sync my work computer using outlook and exchange, my iphone and my mac at home.
In an ideal world I want to have two calendars that is home and work, two sets of contacts that is home and work. And all appear on on outlook, iphone and my mac at home
I also have Linkedin Contacts (about 690).They appear to be pulled in separately into outlook via the LinkedIn Addin.
At the moment I have certain contacts who appear three times on my iphone, and its not obvious which database they are coming from.
I accept you cannot sync outlook secondary calendars to google, therefore what is the best way to set this all up.
Any advice would be very welcome.

The only way to do that is to use Exchange server.

What is the Best Way to Sync iPod nano to a new Computer and User?

what is the best way to sync ipod to a new computer and user?
moving from old mac to new mac - same ipod
- currently won't add music etc. i guess because it is not associated with this new computer
- i don't care if I dump all old contents - if necessary...
BTW: what if it's the same username?

No problem.
What about when I have the same user name on both old and new computers - and right now the new computer sees/syncs the ipod just fine .... but it seems that on another day it might not allow the sync
If it's syncing okay already, then you have nothing to worry about. Anyways, why would it change? It doesn't decide when to. It either syncs or it doesn't depending on the situations circumstances, in which your case, you have nothing to worry about because it's already syncing without issues.

Best way to sync iphone and ipod touch

I have had an ipod touch for some time and have just got an iphone. Ideally I want to keep the ipod touch for music, games etc and use the phone purely for internet, phone etc and maybe a couple of cd's on there. Is there a best way to sync them both - ie something I should make sure I tick when I set up the iphone or will it handle it automatically.
Thanks
nick

iTunes on your computer will keep them separate. I have 2 iPhones and 1 iPod Touch all syncing to the same computer, with different playlists, apps, contact groups, etc., on each of the devices.

Trouble viewing YouTube and some other videos

Sorry if this is a repeating problem already posted but I have toruble viewing Youtube videos and some other videos on the web. I uninstalled Adobe Flash, v.11.2.202.233 and tried to install the latest (at the time) v. 11.2.202.235 but get the "spinning ball" treatment and no progress on installation. Is my problem related to the Flashback malware or Adobe Flash or Java app?
I believe someone or Apple posted a thread on how to determine if one's computer has the Flashback malware. Can someone direct me to that?
I am running Mac OSX 10.7.

I have the answer! you need to get into your Internet Plug-Ins, remove both "flashplayer.plugin", trash them then download the new Flash Player again. For some reason the new Flash Player didn't remove the old one and therefore it keeps trying to use the old version instead of the new. Detailed removal..... 1-Finder 2-Go 3-Computer 4-Macontosh HD 5-Library 6-internet Plug-ins 7-remove both flashplayer.plugin 8-reinstall updated Flash Player.

Best way to sync contacts?

I have my contacts with Yahoo since I have a Yahoo email address. I also have a Mac Address Book which I no longer sync with Yahoo because of a duplication mess that created a nightmare of missing contacts as well.
I no longer sync my Yahoo contacts via iTunes. I do it via push feature on the iPhone with Yahoo.
Now, after syncing all my contacts from Yahoo to my iPhone, I noticed that Yahoo does not distinquish because email addresses (it does so in edit option but not after viewing) i.e. home, work, etc. It does okay on the phone side but not perfect there either as I got mobile phone listings but when I also had a home listing, Yahoo labels it 'phone" on my iPhone. I had to go into each contact on my iPhone to set the phone numbers and emails correctly instead of what Yahoo listed which was the generic "phone" and "email."
Now I noticed that my Mac Address Book pretty much lists the details like that on the iPhone. I went into iTunes under contacts to sync and my Mac Address Book was not an option. I am missing something?
I am just trying to find the best way to sync. The issue here seems to be the Yahoo label listing but I am open to syncing my contacts another way.

Yes, if you just sync contacts then they I'll be automatically updated on all devices.

Best way to sync 2 macs

What is the best way to sync a MacBook Air with an iMac?

If you really want a no fuss solution I'll give you one that I've been using not for nearly a year. There are additional benifit's at least check it out at Synology .com
1. Purachase a Synology Disk Station (DS) I recommend for home users the DS112 ($199 + $100 for 2TB HDD) or DS112J ($149 + $100 fo 2TB HDD).
The DS has a app called Cloud Station (CS) that works just like DropBox with one exception you have 1, 2 or 3TB's of storage (depending on the space you choose) and the SYNC is much more secure since it's on your own home network. You can also set up CS to sync over the Internet which is more secure than DropBox IMO. You don't have to be a network expert by any means to set the DS up.....very simple instructions (do some reading and reasearching while you wait on your order). If you do need help Synology is very responsive to phone calls and emails. And the best thing about Synology they are very MAC friendly. And if you use Time Machine to do regular backup what's synced in CS will be backed up, because Cloud Station is just like another folder residing in your Home folder.
There are also YouTube videos on how to set up DS and CS. If you do decide to get one I'd be glad to help you set it up!!!!!!!!!
Cheers!
BTW, I used Chronosync but didn't really like it, seemed like I was always having to perform a manual sync and there were issues with some of the files syncing properly, that was my experience. Others may love it I didn't.
