Creating short movies to send via email to my mom

I was wondering. I use an iSight and Quicktime Pro 7.0.4. My mom lives over 1200 miles away and she does not have a web cam. I like to make short movies just to say hi or show her things in my life that she can not see as she is so far away.
What is the best method to use to record these little messages that I send through Apple Mail to her AOL 9 on her Windows ME machine that she shares a 1 meg wireless connection with her grandson,
I tried making a small movie around a minute and it was almost 4 meg in size. I don't remember what I used as a format to record it.
I would just like any suggestions for the best format that compresses the file the best it does not matter if it is makes it a windows video media file as I don't need to view it she does.
Thank you

I would get QT 7, as mentioned above. If she's got a broadband net, why doesn't her grandson install QT 7 on her machine? Then you could easily encode into .mov with the latest h.264 and incredibble quality. 1 minute E-mail size movie export will fit under 1 meg for sure. I'd say 600 kb, depending on footage.
If e-mail is inconvenient or too big, why don't you stick it on the web and send her a link to the movie? Depends on you ISP, of course. I do the same and I do not worry about the size, the only limiting factor is their time to download it, which I don't care about. They can go and have a cup of coffee, right?

Create a form without the option to submit or send via email

Just oant to know is it posible to create a form without the option to submit or send via email. I want my students to fill in the form and save it to a personal folder. The submit form button creates confusion.

Many thanks Randy, I'll give it a go. But it means setting up the how to pay question at the top of the form. Currently we have it setup at the bottom.
Think I can do a "Will you be paying by credit card?" check box at the top - Tick equal show Fields A (which I have already mapped to the payment option) and Unchecked Show Fields B.
Sound logical..will be cumbersome though as there are 12 mult show/hide fileds in there already here's the link just for the original form for future reference for anyone in the forum wanting to see what the form looks like and is facing the same problem.
Will make the changes in a quiet perios and anyone interested can take a look next week and see how I got on.
Appreciate your response Randy

Since I must create a folder to send questionable emails I may read or refer to later, how do I change the action of the delete key so it'll be just as easy?

After recognizing and following the suggestions I skimmed in the Q&A, my trash is still being emptied against my wishes. Everything looked familiar involving settings, etc. I think and hope and will re-check that I've all the correct settings applied. I would like to verify; Do I have to really create a folder to send my email to instead of trash/delete if I want to view it later? If so that sucks, but I'll obviously work around it. My frustration with this matter over the years caused me to stop reading and here I am, agitated. I can probably figure out how to create a folder and MAYBE even figure out how to make it somewhat easier than it sounds to move the emails there. My biggest obstacle is learning how to program the delete key on my keyboard to send them there, because it's simply common sense to everyday users not to mention a terrible habit occurred over the many years of practicing to strike the delete key when a "I'll get to it later" email is highlighted AND without any worry knowing you can always find it in the trash because you know the last time the trash was emptied/permenantly deleted. Can you somehow make this a little more user friendly. It sucks to not be able to trust having an email when you go back to look for it. Can you imagine having to pay attention anything for longer than 5-7 seconds when you're trying to find that one email amongst possibly thousands in one of my in boxes because you're scared to death to delete anything that may be of value one day in the future, or not. Pretty please tell me I'm on the wrong track here and there's a simple solution and how to find it. And

IMHO, the mistake is to put anything in Trash if you think you'll ever want to look at it again. Do you ever "file" actual paper documents in the real Trash bin, down there on the floor?
However...
Your Trash folder may be on the email provider's server and subject to their housekeeping regime. Have a look at your account settings; if the account uses IMAP then you might try setting it to use a local Trash folder, for instance in your Local Folders account. That should put emptying of Trash under your control and safe from the whims of any third parties. But in my book, using Trash for persistent storage is perverse. Or as you might put it, it sucks.
I'd set up a Pending folder, and use QuickFolderMove, or use star and a filter, or a tag and a filter to park indeterminate messages in it.
The delete key is for deleting things, and nothing else.

LMS3.2 Syslog reports very slow when send via email

Hello,
we have ~5000 devices in LMS3.2 and we have a problem with syslog reports.
When I create a "severity level summary report" for 5000 devices for the last 24hours and select as run type "immediate" it needs ~2-3 minutes. That's ok.
But when I create exactly the same report and select the run type "once" , it needs ~3 hours. ("Once" means that the report is send via email after it's finished). It happens with report type "pdf" and "csv".
What can be the problem ? Or is it usual ???
Regards
Hendrik

The scheduled reports can output a full list of messages where as the immediate reports output a limit of 10,000 records. If you have a lot of syslog messages, it can take a considerable amount of additional time to generate a full report.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad. From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Did you fail to back up your pics?
The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

Changing the file name of a PDF you send via email

Hello Support,
I am trying to find out how to change the file name of the attachment I send via email when I click submit via email. I would like the file to be sent with the file name, not some other file name.
How can I fix it? This is very urgent! I need HELP!
Cheers

Hi,
you can't.
Except you save the file under a different name before you send it.

"send via email" STILL not working

Hi community - I have seen this question asked several times but none of the answers given seem to apply to me.
I am working in a Pages document. I want to send this document as a Word file to someone else. I go to the Share menu, click Word under the "send via email" header, and then...nothing happens. No email app opens, no error message appears, nothing.
There are no slashes or unfamiliar characters in the file name. Both Gmail and the OS mail app are set up on my computer. What am I missing? I'm working on a brand new 13-inch MacBook Pro with a version of Pages just purchased from the app store.
And please don't recommend just exporting it as a Word doc and then emailing the file - I know I can do that already, but the point is this very important feature isn't working.
Thanks for the help - much appreciated!

You would get the beep sound if you click on the greyed down "Send via Email". You have to choose which kind of document you want to send. But then again if it worked for you in the new account it can't be that giving you a problem.
I once had a problem using Pages. It worked fine in another user account but not in my original. Deleting the plist file didn't help, maintenace didn't help. Finally I uninstalled Pages/iWork 09 using Yvan's script from here. Then I installed my MacOS system (Snow Leopard) on top of what I had. Since the Snow Leopard system you can install a system again without erazing the hard disk. You might though check that anything important to you is saved on another disk or stick. Remeber to do the updates for the system
I did the system updates and restarted the computer. Installed iWork. I have the iWork DVD. And I did the software updates too. Then Pages worked again!

Open the file in Preview and select "Save as..." from the File menu. Select "Reduce File Size" from the Quartz Filter menu and save. The size probably won't be reduced enough, though. You may have to split the file into several parts and mail them separately. Or upload it to a web server and send the link.

Reducing PDF file size or Optimizing PDF is the feature that is supported only by Acrobat Pro (desktop app that is not free).
Optimizing PDFs (Acrobat Pro)
Free Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc) do not offer the capability.

No iWork programs will "send via email"

I can not share any of my saved documents via email in pages or numbers. When I go to the share tab along the top, "send via email" is gray and not able to be clicked. I have seen other threads saying that the character "/" cannot be in the title and none of my documents have this issue. Any thoughts?

It may not be a slash, that is just the most common "illegal" character. Make sure your file name doesn't have anything other than letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores.
But, if you're talking about the share button in the toolbar, that was to share via iWork.com (beta). That service was discontinued last year & it took Apple until the 9.3 update to remove it from the default set of icons.
When all else fails, save the file or export it in the format you want to send & then attach it to a new e-mail message.

This is not the iPhoto forum. In any case in iPhoto>Preferences select Mail or whatever email program you are using to email as the desired choice. You are probably sending directly through iPhoto.
