Digital Magazine Questions - Photos and Sizing

I am in the process of helping to create a digital magazine. As I have never participated in this medium before, I have some questions. Before I really start laying out my project in InDesign, does anyone have thoughts on page sizing? We plan to publish our magazine via 3D Issue, with a primary goal of it being viewed on desktops and laptops. What size should I make my pages?
Also, photography is playing a key role in this magazine. What file format, size, etc should I use? I tried putting some full page photos into a mockup I was working on, and they came out all blurry. Sugestions?
I am using a Mac Pro running Adobe Creative Cloud, and ID CS6.
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply.
So I was thinking this could be an inactive PDF viewable via Acrobat Reader or a browser, and or iPad / Tablet magazine.
Ideally I would export one file to all formats if possible?

Fitting photos and sizing the page.

This is probably my 100th most stupid question but here goes........ Everytime I add more than a few pictures they disappear. Another words the layout of the page only allows a few pictures. It is very frustrating. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

More details are needed about what you are doing & seeing on the screen...
"Everytime I add more than a few pictures..." - How are you adding the pictures? Drag & drop from iWeb's Media Browser? Or how?
"...they disappear." - At what point exactly do they disappear? Right when you drop them into the page, or when you re-open iWeb later?
Any extra info you can provide will help forum readers to help you.

Digital Publishing and Interactivity with digital magazine on my own server

Hello... I am researching what would be the best plan of action for my project... need to design a digital magazine for the web that is interactive and has rich media like video, animations, etc.
I am thinking of doing the following... design my animations in Edge Animate that will output html5 friendly animations, then use Indesign to design my master digital magazine like the way I want to with embedded rich media and symbols that have interactivity options.
I am unsure of my next step, or if I am on the right track... should I bring in this Indesign file as a format compatible with Html5, CSS3, Wordpress or what? And use Jquery plugins within the overall structure to add flash like effects.
Any suggestions?

1. What is the best way to contact them about sending my iPod to them?
2. Does the APP cover battery replacement?
3. Has Apple discontinued the making of iPod photos?
4. If so, will they still replace my battery or will they just send me a completely new iPod?

1) You can arrange online service here.

Problem with Photos and Camera and Sizing Set

I have a 3gs and upgraded to 4.0. Things seemed fine but yesterday when I opened up the Camera Roll in Photos there was 1 picture showing and a large black rectangular box. No other photos were showing. I tapped on the black box and it showed all the photos using the slider to go from 1 to the next. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the black box so that all the photos showed up normally, so I deleted each of the photos. The size of the box shrank as each photo was deleted. Then when I went into Photos, it opened with an empty screen and immediately closed. I then tried to use the Camera and it started up and immediately closed. So I sent myself an email with a photo and saved it to Photos. Its there and so is the black box! Now the camera will work! To further complicate, I decided I'd use the photo for wallpaper. Problem is I can't size it!! I can move it and size it with my fingers, but then when I release, it immediately pops back to full size and I can't "Set" the image size. Does anyone have any idea what's going on!!

Well I solved it. I uploaded my photos to My Gallery. Then I took a photo with the camera and saved it. I then deleted all the other photos except the one I just took. Then I exited Photos and then came back in and it was working fine, so I then downloaded the photos that I had just uploaded to My Gallery. Still have a problem though with sizing the photos for the Lock and Home screens. I can't get the Set button to hold a size. Any ideas on that?

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos? I do nto care about anythign else.
Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
Backup iPad
Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
restart Vista Laptop
upgrade to newest iOS
I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times. The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
Your help is much appreciated

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

Questions on photos and storage

I have a few questions about photos and storage... If you can just answer one of these, that's fine and thanks for the help!
How do I see how much space my iPhoto photos are taking on my hardrive?
I have Time machine which backs up, but concerned that I'm getting too many pictures. When I do "Get Info" on the hardrive it says 640GB Capacity with 254GB used. I'm assuming that includes all my photos, and that Time machine only backs up and is not the active storage for those photos?
What is advisable for available GB space on this size computer?
I have my photos on the hardrive and the time machine, is it also advised to have in a cloud-based storage system to be safe? Or some other place. Just checking what others do with this.

1 - it is a really good idea to start new threads with new questions - threadjacking a year old solved thread on a totally different subject will not provide the best coverage and the best answers
2 - Do NOT uncheck the option to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - it is a really, really bad idea that will create many problems for yo and has no advantages of any sort - see the user tip on file management in iPhoto for more details - iPhoto and File Management
3 - take the time to learn how to use iPhoto and the concept of using a database for management photos rather than a file based system like you are used to - it is much different and much more powerful - but there is a learning curve and a different thought process
4 - yes you can always export anything or everything from iPhoto for use on any other system - see the user tip on exporting for details - Exporting From iPhoto
5 - always remember that you never access your photos directly - iPhoto totally replaces the finder for managing your photos - see the user tip on accessing photos for more details - How to Access Files in iPhoto

I have a 250GB western digital external hard drive for my time machine backups. if i just want to backup and recover my photos and movies how do i do that with time machine?

I have a 250GB western digital external hard drive for my time machine backups. I did not download the software that came with the external HD. If I only want to backup my photos and movies from my Macbook how do I do that in Tme Machine with my external HD?

Format the HDD in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the open System Preferences>Time Machine and set up the external disk as the Time Machine HDD. Then look at the Options, and exclude what you do not want backed up.

What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

Hello..
"what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
Thanks and Regards..

We are all users here.
There is no one here from Apple.
In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules. You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
No one here is going to be able to help you.
Good Luck.

HT4436 originally my kids used my apple account, now they want there own. Can they keep there photos and music and move it to a new account?

I want to create a new account and transfer my photos and music to the new account. How can I do that?

Your talking about the famous AppleID divorce
There is no way to "move" music, apps, or photostreams between iCloud/AppleID accounts easily, but there are some ways to maybe salvage everything they want and get it to their individual devices. I'm going to assume that each has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and that you all have one or more computers with iTunes (macs or PC's, shouldn't matter).
In any case, this isn't likely to be a quick fix for you, so clear a couple of hours in the evening and grab a beverage of your choice. Here are a few ways to manage the divorce:
Separate iCloud (ie, contacts, calendars, etc) accounts for each person, Shared iTunes Music/Apps:
This approach allows each person to have their own device backups, plus their own address books, calendars, etc, and it allows everyone to share the apps and music that has been and will be purchased. This will also mean each has their own photostreams as well. With calendars and photostreams, you can create "shared" versions of each so you and they can collectively contribute and modify the calendar, and can collectively contribute to a shared photostream.
The great benefit to this approach is that all of the music and apps that have been purchased will continue to be available on all of the devices.
The disadvantage is that with the shared iTunes account, everybody is sharing everybody else's gift cards and/or money that is in the account. Monitoring it is a manual process.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new iCloud account (ie, new AppleID's) for everyone, including yourself.
In the iCloud settings on each mobile device use the new iCloud account (ie, AppleID) for that person.
Use those same iCloud credentials for the iCloud settings in each person's account on the computer. (Note that if you do NOT use separate accounts for each person on the computer, this method will not work for synching the iCloud stuff, just the iTunes stuff. I highly recommend you create user accounts on the computer for each person).
On your mobile devices, in the iTunes and App Store settings continue to use the "original" AppleID under which all of the music and apps were purchased.
In iTunes for each user account on the computer, continue to use the "original" Apple ID, just like on the mobile devices.
For each person's photos that they wish to keep, make sure that they are currently in the mobile device's camera roll (just as Winston suggested).
Now the device's and computer user accounts are all setup. When the mobile device's are synched to user's (or the common) iTunes app, all of the music and apps will stay, and all of the photos that were previously in each user's camera roll will still be there.
Separate iTunes Accounts, Shared iCloud Account
This approach allows each person to have their own iTunes account for music and apps, but will keep all of the iCloud stuff (like contacts and calendars and photostreams) identical accross everybody's devices. This is particularly useful if the kids get their own gift cards and are not amenable to sharing with their family and you want to continue to have identical address books, calendars, and photostreams.
The main drawback to this approach is that it is possible that each individual will lose access to some music and all purchased apps. That will depend highly upon when the music was purchased. ie, was it purchased before or after Apple went to a digital rights management (DRM) free model for music. All purchased apps will technically be lost, but sometimes its still possible to "keep" those apps via iTunes and your device will continually and annoyingly ask you for the credentials (ie, the original AppleID) under which the app was purchased.
Another drawback is that the free iCloud storage account is likely to be enough to backup all of your devices (if you have more than 1). Therefore, you will likely have to purchase a larger iCloud storage plan.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new AppleID for each person for use in the iTunes Music/App store. Remember to keep your original AppleID that was used for all of the purchases to date.
On each mobile device, in the iTunes and App Store settings input the new AppleID for each user. On one of the devices (you'll have to figure out on which one it makes the most sense), continue to use the original AppleID.
In the iCloud settings for each device (and the computer accounts), continue to use the original AppleID.
Now you must setup new iTunes databases on the computer for each seperate user. The only way to do this is to have each user have a seperate account on the computer (again, mac or PC, doesn't matter).
In each user's iTunes app on the computer, input the iTunes store credentials that match his/her mobile device that you setup in step 2 above.
On the computer, move all of the music that each person cares about into his/her separate iTunes database (ie, import the music into iTunes by whatever method you choose). The exact method for this is dependent upon whether its windows or mac, but basically, find the actual music files on the hard drive, and then import each of them into iTunes for each user. You want each user to setup their "new" music database on the computer. This is what the mobile device will synch against.
Once complete, synch each mobile device with each user's respective iTunes app. You MUST use separate iTunes databases at this point.
If all of the music was purchased post-DRM (or is DRM-free for whatever reason), then this method will result in each user having all of the music that he/she wishes. However, if some of the music has DRM, then your success here will be a crapshoot.
Photostreams should all continue to be shared and collective since they are attached to the common iCloud account, not iTunes.
Separate iTunes Music/App Account, Separate iCloud
This is the ultimate in "every man for himself". The advantage is the each person has their own free iCloud features (including the all-important backup) and each has their own iTunes account.
The disadvantage is the same as "Common iCloud, Separate iTunes" approach: individuals may lose access to already purchased music and apps. The photostreams will also be broken apart, although you can setup shared photostreams for the future.
To setup this up:
Create new iCloud/AppleID accounts for each person (except for the original user).
In each person's mobile device, use their new AppleID for both iCloud and iTunes Music and App stores. One person keeps the original AppleID and continues to use it.
Follow the steps above for creating new music databases in each user's account on the computer.
Synch each user's mobile device with their respective iTunes database.
OK, that's what i have for you at this point. I'm happy to answer further questions on this and help you figure out how to do what you want to do.
Thanks

REPOST: Making a digital magazine using Indesign, How to publish it without purchasing DPS?

Hi there,
So I have posted this on the Indesign forum, bit have been told to repost the question here.
I am creating a Digital Magazine for a school project. It is getting marked by a marker and they obviously need to see how the magazine works etc.
I am not looking into purchasing DPS just for this project. I just want to find a way to put the magazine on the iPad so its fully functional, I am in no way looking to publishing it to the App Store or anything like that.
Someone suggested I still download the Adobe DPS tools installed (Folio Builder and Folio Overlays).... (Does that require me getting the Digital publishing suite?)
Or I publish it as an Interactive PDF..
My final question is how would I go about doing both?
Thank you.

Before you start I suggest you to understand the difference between Apps and documents. An App It's a self contained content that could be delivered only by the marketplaces (iTunes, GooglePlay, Amazon). If you choose this solution you have to respect their policies.
If you choose a document such as a PDF you are free to deliver it as you prefer, by your store, by your network, via mail, etc.
To read a document you need an App such as a Acrobat Reader.
In between the document and the App there is the device and the operating system. That's why It's not so easy to mantein all the interactivity that you can potentially place in a PDF when you read on a device such as iPad.
So we can define many scenarios:
- Deliver your content using a PDF - lower compatibility with interactivity, no adaptive layout
- Deliver your content using ePUB - lower compatibility with interactivity, adaptive layout
- Deliver your content using an App created with a solution like the DPS - high compatibility with interactivity
- Deliver your content using the developing - everything your target devices can support
In my opinion I suggest you to adopt a CreativeCloud for education (very cheap) so you can deliver your content in all this ways than choose a good consultant :-)

Photos and Video do not store on storage card

I have a Palm Treo Pro from Telstra with a Telstra 2gb MicroSD card. The problem is that I have not been able to view any of the photos and videos I have taken since I bought the phone, because the folder 100MEDIA does not exist. I have selected the option to store all images and video on the storage card and I believe it should be storing them to the default location of DCIM/100MEDIA.......but there is no 100MEDIA folder. I don;t want to store them on the device.
So where are all my images and videos?
And I cannot create a any sub-folders (let alone one called 100MEDIA) in DCIM when it is synched as my PC tells me I cannot due to the folder DCIM being read-only, insuffiecient memory or no permission to do this.
I am extremely frustrated as I have potentially lost a lot of sentimental images and vids of my kids.

Can you view the photos and videos in the Pictures & Videos application on your device?

That's one of the questions I am trying to find out really. I take a photo, I have it set to save onto my storage card, yet when I look on my storage card there are no pictures/vids on it. So where is it saving anything that comes from the camera? I have done a search and the pictures and videos I have taken do not show up.
Okay, I think I understand where you are looking; I had to play around with a few things. You are using the "Explore" button from the ActiveSync window. When you open My Windows Mobile-based device, then Storage Card, it's blank. This particular view looks to be pretty useless.
The easiest solution, although not the cheapest, is to get an adapter that allows you to attach your storage card to your PC. In my case, when I bought my microSD card it came with an SD-sized adapter so I could use it with my existing card reader. The advantage is that you have the full power of Windows Explorer available to work on the card, and speed should be better than using the USB cable. The downside is that inserting and removing the card increases the risk of damage.
I think what Microsoft actually was thinking, though, was that you would set up a sync relationship with Windows Media Player. After the ActiveSync window comes up, fire up Windows Media Player from the Start menu, and look for a Sync button on the toolbar. Underneath is a drop-down that lets you set up synchronization for your Treo Pro for various media including photos and videos. I don't use this method because I don't want all the garbage on my PC to end up on my phone. However, if your media libraries are more organized than mine, it might work for you.
Hope this helps.

Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality (appear fuzzy / blurry / lo res) in premier pro cs6?

Premier Pro CS6 Question.....
Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality when imported to premier pro cs6?
I have still shots that have text and they look clean and crisp when I view them in photoshop. Why does the photo and text look so fuzzy or blurry and not crisp when I import the still files into premier pro cs6?
Is there a setting in premier that I am setting incorrectly? That is possibly blurring my photos and text? The problem appears in both my PR file and my final exported work.
Is there a way to retain the quality of the image and text that I see in my photoshop file?
Note: I am not enlarging anything after import, I am reducing though, but I would think this would only make images and text sharper????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im getting tired of doing all my work and delivering blurry / fuzzy / what appears to be low resolution images and text when I complete my project.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Jim, thanks so much again for chiming in to my questions.
Specs of Stills - Photoshop file - 677 x 1014px, 150dpi, 1.96M file size, 150dpi, this is the size of the file I originally imported and reduced to approx. 65%, the one sized properly in photoshop imported fuzzier.
Sequence Settings -
Export Settings, FLV, attached are settings.
1. EXPORT FILTER SETTINGS...
2. EXPORT FORMAT SETTINGS
3. EXPORT VIDEO SETTINGS
FINAL PROJECT IS DELIVERY OF FLV FILE TO EMBED IN INTERACTIVE FILE. Ive tried different settings for different jobs, just feel all text and photos fall apart when pulled into and exported to FLV for embedding final.
Ive done several slideshow and video's in premier pro, have so much to learn still, Im thinking I keep diving into my projects and possibly making a total mess out of my settings for the desired final destination? is this possible?

thanks so much

daldana:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you seeing the thumbnails or not? If you're seeing thumbnails what do you see when you double click on one?
To make sure your photos are still safe and sound locate the iPhoto Library package in your Pictures folder. Control-click on it and select "Show Package Contents" in the Contextual menu. Then locate the Originals folder and check inside to make sure the full sized image files are there. Report back with what you find.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
