Capture laptop desktop

Is there a way to hook up a laptop to my G5 Mac Pro and capture what i see on the laptop desktop with final cut capture? I don't want to pay for any screen capture programs and the free ones don't look correct with the frame rates on playback. There's a mini-fire hookup with the laptop.
Is there a specific capture preset that i can create to make this work?

if its a one time thing, try and download the trial version of Ambrosia's Snap Pro Z.
i used it to record the onscreen playing of our ultrasound dvd. worked perfectly my use.

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
(*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
Kind Regards

Is it possible to change the genre of a song on an iPhone 5s (with no laptop/desktop)?

is it possible to change the genre of a song on an iPhone 5s (without using iTunes on a laptop/desktop)?

I could not find any way to do that. There is no way access the song information like you do through iTunes.

Laptop / desktop liscence version 4 ... uninstall 1?

I have a question about my liscence for version FCP version 4. I know that only 5 and up support a laptop / desktop liscence, but I really need FCP on my laptop because I will be working out of town.
If i uninstall the version I have on my desktop, will the laptop version start working? Will this work out or is there a deeper process involved? And if so how does my laptop recognize that one version is not being used anymore?

well, I had already installed it on my laptop not knowing about the agreement, and now it unexpectedly quits. I'm in another part of the country while my desktop is at my folks' place. Can i just tell them to uninstall FCP there, and my laptop version will start to work? Or is there a deeper problem / issue going on?

OT: FREE Alienware Laptop/Desktop

I've just been sent details of this and apparently BBC

not to be a scam...
If you're looking for a laptop/desktop - these are damn good
so it could be
worth a look perhaps.

HT4527 I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone?

I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
Please help!!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

That is a Windows option - not a phone option. You need to modify your Autoplay options on your PC

Stop the softwares to capture the desktop

hi
is ther any way to stop the differnet software to capture the
desktop through director
i made the big application in the director and now i i want
to make it secure so i wana to stop desktop capture
is there any other language code whici i use in the director
tell me how i will do this
i m waiting for the response

You will need to do a whole lot of research into each and
every screen
capture program in existence and find out from the
manufacturer how to
circumvent their product. So, basically, no. It is really
naive to
think that once a person has anything on their computer that
they will
not find a way to copy it or pieces of it if they want to. It
is the
reason that movie studios and record companies spend millions
of dollars
on copy protection when all it does is make the legitimate
user's lives
uncomfortable, and doesn't slow the pirates down at all. The
best you
can hope to do is block out the print screen button (as was
answered in
one of your numerous cross-posts) and thus block out the
casual copier.
Anyone who really wants to get a screenshot will be able to
no matter
what you try to do to prevent it.
For instance, one could use a virtualization program like
VMWare, open
the program in the virtual machine, then take the screenshot
from the
host machine.
Or one could open the program on one computer, then connect
to it with a
screen sharing program like NetMeeting and take a screenshot
that way.
You can remap the screen capture function of Windows to a
different key
combination.
These are just off the top of my head. There are many other
ways around
it for someone who really wants to get around it.
You can not stop it. Your best bet is to do your due
diligence and
prevent it from being too easy.

Can I view a video from my macbook pro on my TV using apple TV while doing something else on the laptop desktop? I.E. watch a video on the tv, while searching the web on the laptop screen?

First off, I just want to clarify that I know how to view my macbook screen, videos, music, photos etc. through the apple tv connected to my hdtv. What I'm trying to do is use it like a second monitor. For example, I'd like to watch a video from the web through the apple tv on the hdtv screen, while simultaneously able to search and use the laptop like I normally would. I know there are two desktops with Mountain Lion, but I haven't been able to figure out how to link one to the apple tv and leave the other as the macbook. I know I've done this before when I had a macbook 13" and a cable connector, there was a setting in system preferences to view one screen (tv) with a video, and then still have the macbook screen free to search for files, the web, etc.... This is different from mirroring, but I haven't located this setting on the new macbook yet.
Ideally I'd like to be able to use my hdtv as a second monitor so I can be sorting and organizing photo files on the macbook, while viewing full size high resolution images on the TV screen. I've got a ton of photographs, close to a personal library you could ask me for a type of photo and I've probably got it, but there is a decent amount of extras, doubles, and just stuff I don't need. This would really help me get organized and allow me to share my work a little bit more efficiently.
I appreciate any insights and hope I can return the favor.
Much Love
Soulprogression

I do not know how to do this with an Apple TV (I don't have one), but as far as I know Apple TV only does mirroring.
If you have an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV from where you sit, then it's easy. The TV could be set up in Extended Desktop mode (mirroring off) as if it was simply another computer monitor, and then you could just drag windows to it. If you have the Displays icon in your menu bar, that's where the setting is, or if the icon is not there, then the setting is in the Displays system preference. But again, that's for conventionally connected monitors, not Apple TV. If you don't have an HDMI cable and wanted a long one that's affordable you can get those at monoprice.com.
The answer we are still waiting for is if anyone knows if Apple TV can be used in extended desktop (non-mirroring) mode.

How to do a video capture of desktop?

an app that i'm using isn't behaving correctly. the makers of the app haven't been able to recreate the problem. is there anyway to capture video of me scrolling around on my desktop so I can show them what's going on?

dang it! haha. right in front of my face. I thought there was a way to do it with quicktime but couldn't find it. I guess I didn't look hard enough. and the Help doesn't tell you this at all, although maybe I didn't use the right words for Help.
thanx.

Using Win 7 64bit on desktop and laptop. OK on laptop; desktop does not load graphics in broswer with/without exts/addons. Any ideas?

Browser loads text on page but not full graphics - some - sometimes; sometimes none. I use same search engine on both desktop and laptop. I've tried disabling add-ons and extensions but it makes no difference. As I didn't know which version of Shockwave Flash to install I've installed both!!!

Thanks for this. I could not select Shockwave Flash 9.0.45.0 - but downloaded the uninstaller from Adobe which removed the newer Flash 11 version. I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode and yes, Flash 9 was still there. I ran the uninstaller again - after closing Firefox. It said that Flash was removed however when I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode - Flash 9 was still there - disabled - but there. Nothing appears in the Control Panel/Programs list. So how do I uninstall this older version?
Graphics problem continues in Safe Mode.
After reading: Flash 9.0 r28 and below: Your Windows list of installed programs may have an entry for "Adobe Flash Player ActiveX" but this will only remove the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and AOL. To completely remove Flash from your system, download the Flash uninstaller from Adobe.com. To remove Flash from Mozilla browsers only, delete these Flash plugin files from all locations. [17]
I searched for but did not find:
NPSWF32.dll
flashplayer.xpt
This sort of stuff is out of my comfort zone!

Advice re LR2, laptop & desktop, with photos on ext drive

Please critique this setup. I've been considering this b/c I have had images stored to both computers but would prefer that one storage drive be known to contain all of my work; as it is, I can't recall if certain photos are on one or the other computer and don't want to mirror the collections on two computers.
I have LR2 on a MBP & iMac and have some photos already imported to their respective drives but have been considering to change my arrangement such that all photos are imported to one external drive which would be shared between the two computers (small portable drive). I also have a larger external drive always attached to the imac to be used as a backup copy location.
My idea was to have one, master repository of all my photos (the small port. drive) but work on them either on the MBP or iMac depending if I am home or not. My understanding is that LR can allow you to work on the images (a preview really) even though the drive containing the images isn't attached but then 'apply' the changes when the drive is next connected.
Does this sound reasonable or not? Please recommend variations, improvements etc or point me to other posts with similar arrangements.
thanks

Your proposal will work just fine. I use a Windows desktop and a Mac laptop and much the same set up as you. If you propose on using the images off line and also want the speed benefits of having the actual catlog and preview files on an internal drive, then it does mean maintaining two catalogs. One on the desktop and one on the laptop, both linked to the images on the external drive. In order to keep the two catalogs in sync in relation to the development settings you need to connect the external drive and write the data to file and then sync this when connecting to the other computer...which is how I do it usually. This means that each catalog can have different collections but the same process settings for all the files. If you use smart collections (as I do) these can be exported and then loaded so these remain in sync, but for ordinary collections you have to create these on both catalogs.
Alternatively you can have a single catalog on the external drive. This can slow things down a bit and means you must always have the external drive connected.
You can also export as catlog to the external drive from the desktop.
