  • How can I put my dvds on ipad? Can anyone recommend what software I need?

    Hi Im going on holiday and want to put some of my son's dvds on his ipad2. Can anyone tell me how to convert files or recommed software?

    Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts, so we're not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
    http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, the aforementioned Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
    Regards.

  • Can anyone recommend some software for creating HDR photos?

    I would like to try to create some HDR images but this requires software to merge the bracketed shots into one. Could anyone recommend an application that will do this? Also, any online tutorials or training resources would be useful.
    thanks

    When you ask about software for creating HDR photos? a big question is whether you want special-effects-like imagery HDR or whether you want to realistically simply improve dynamic range of otherwise well-shot images.
    The best way to improve the dynamic range of otherwise well-shot images is to buy a Nikon D3. For those without the $5k for a D3, Photoshop layers are an excellent solution. You make duplicate lightening screen or darkening multiply layers and erase and adjust opacity of various layer parts to achieve what you want.
    Photomatrix is probably the most popular for special-effects-like HDR imagery. There is a good thread among Photoshop pros discussing HDR, with examples, at

  • Can anyone recommend recovery software to find photos and videos that were taken on the iPod touch before resetting back to factory setting?

    My iPod touch was Connected to the computer to sync, but somehow ended up resetting everything to factory settings. When I checked contents, everything after the last date I synced is gone. I am most upset about photos and pictures taken on our vacation.
    How can I get all my photos back?
    Thanks.

    I don't know -- scams? You should always keep a backup of photos and data elsewhere; did you not do this? Photo Stream is the easiest way, in which case they should have been on your PC waiting for you.

  • Can anyone recommend e-book reader app for mac os10.8.5

    Hi
    Im trying to find an app to use for e-books from public library and other free e-book resources. I am not ready to update to Mavericks which uses ibook app because I am waiting for some of the glitches ie printing, accessibility - dragon dicitate and all the  problems reported by the support community discussions.
    Personally I am not happy with ios 7 changes and I am reluctant to upgrade mac notebook and desktop. So I am being very cautious to make mac os changes especially when my printer being older model may or may not work and reports of dragon dictate, ms office and all the programs that are costly to replace.
    I have vision problems and he ability to read an e-book both on and off line on a large screen would open a world of possibilies. While I like audiobooks nothing replaces seeing the words on a page and reading them to myself !
    So when recommending an app please let me know how well it can increase font size, differentiate colors, and bookmark pages.
    The ease of scolling and pagination in an e-book is important with my handicap.
    I am financially unable to invest in purchasing apps that are more then $5.00 nor am I am to buy an e-reader like an ipad or other brands.
    I know I could use a pdf app but the page flow of a pdf file is not visually appealing. I also find it hard to find where I left off reading.
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Thanks very much. That fixed the problem.
    Best Regards

  • Can anyone recommend the best ONLINE backup for Mac's

    Hello, I have a new Macbook Pro, and would like to take an extra step and backup
    my pictures, my files, my i-tunes library, onto an online service. Does anyone use one
    now or have you had any experience with using an online service? Thanks

    While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
    Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
    Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
    I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

  • Can anyone recommend a powerpoint-like program for mac that is free?

    I cannot afford to spend a fortune on power point but my kids are always needing to do pp presentations for school.  Is there a good free program out there or even one with a lower price point?

    Apple's Keynote (like Power Point) is available by itself through the App store for $19.99, however, you need to be at OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App store.
    You can also buy the iWork suite, which has Keynote, Numbers (think excel), and Pages (think Word) for $79 from Apple. If being downlevel one release is OK, the iWork '08 package is available through an Amazon vendor for $38.98 which includes shipping.

  • Can anyone recommend apple extreme vs express for Mac pro and 2x iPads in home setting?

    Looking for advice on use of express vs extreme for home use

    The Extreme is dual band, so faster devices will connect to the faster band while slower devices connect at their own pace. The slower devices will not slow down the faster devices, as would be the case with the single band AirPort Expess.
    The USB port on the Extreme will support a hard drive and/or a printer. The USB port on the AirPort Express will support only a printer.
    The Extreme uses a new antenna array that will result in better coverage and deeper penetration of the signal. The Express uses a simple antenna arrangement.
    If you plan to connect any wired devices to the the router, the Exteme has 3 Ethernet ports.  The single Ethernet port on the Express will be used to connect to the modem, so any other wired devices will not be able to connect to the Express.
    The Express will handle a total of 10 wireless connections, while the Extreme will handle up to 50.
    For an $80 premium the Extreme probably provides 3 times the performance capabilty of an Express. That makes it a no brainer for me,  but you and others may disagree.

  • Can anyone recommend some server monitoring software

  • Can anyone recommend any database software

    Hi,
    I am looking to obtain database software that can offer the same sort of features as MS Access, can anyone recommend any software? i am just starting up my own business and need to create something to store customer information etc.
    Thanks

    Unlike MacGunt, I have used Bento and love it. With the little bit of work I did at IBM using M$ Access, I found Bento to be head and shoulders above it. Access always seemed kludgy to me at best whereas Bento is an honest to goodness database manager.
    Seeing as how I retired now I don't have any business usage for it but I do it find it very useful for the club work I need to do.
    Two features I like are the templates which cover a broad range of database usage. I would think that one of those would be able to help you get started with your business needs. The other is the app which allows me to have the Bento database on my iPhone.

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
