Does anyone else do other work on the same machine while digitizing?

I used to do this with my Dual867 G4, but it seems impossible on my new 2.1G5 iMac - ie. takes 5 minutes to just open Safari while digitizing...
Can it be that the iMac is just that bad at multitasking? This seems crazy to me, has anyone else experienced this?

I do msn chat and internet browsing while I capture. However, it would be easier for the machine if you open the apps before starting to capture.
I think the dual 867 is a lot more powerfull than your imac.

    Makes it sound like the charging port is damaged or loose.

  • I have a Yamaha DGX220 Piano Keyboard Does anyone of you out there experience the same problem?

    I have a Yamaha DGX220 Piano Keyboard and I have downloaded their driver. After downloading and installing there is no interfacing with the computer, it doesn't recognize the Yamaha Midi driver.
    Does anyone of you out there experience the same problem? I have downloaded the Mavericks OS.. The Yamaha company thinks there is a bug within Mavericks that causes this no connection issue.

    Hi,
    Would you explain what remote MIDI sequencer is?
    Your keyboard has a bulit-in Music recording device. This is actually a buiti-in digital MIDI music sequencer. It can also, output through the MIDI connectors the MIDI sequence to either software on a computer or other external MIDI devices like dedicated sound modules or computer software sound modules or software sequencers
    I use both software MIDI music software sequencers and a dedicated hardware MIDI music recording sequencer in my system.
    Dedicated digital MIDI hardwaremusic sequencers do the same things as the bulit-in sequencer on your keyboard and computer software music recording sequencing.
    Digital MIDI music sequencers DO NOT RECORD SOUNDS.
    They record things like what keys are pressed on the musical keyboard, how much key sensitivity and pressure was applied, other parameters like if you change the pitch of the keyboard up and down by half steps, the sound number and sound bank number, records pedal information, records wheel and pitch bend wheel information, records other MIDI active button  controller information, etc.
    Basically, keyboard sequencers, hardware sequencers and software sequencers record the performance nuances of your playing and NOT the actual sounds that you are hearing.

  • Can you share to other users on the same machine?

    If I have 2 users on the same machine, and I log in with one user, open iTunes, then swich user and bring up iTunes. Will the second user see the shared shongs from the first user?
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    Here is what I did:
    1. Create new user account.
    2. Open iTunes
    3. Set preferences to NOT copy files over on an import.
    4. Set the location for my music library to the "Public" folder (created an iTunes folder in there and pointed to it).
    5. Selected "Add to Library" and selected the top level folder where my songs are (an mp3 folder on my firewire drive)
    6. Since my son had some songs of his own that he exported from Garageband, I went back the the preferences and checked the "copy files on import", then selected "Add to Library" on those files. NOTE: if you do this, you may want to exclude that directory in step 5 above.
    The reason I used Public/iTunes as the output folder, was so other account could import those files to their iTunes in the future.

  • How can I share my ical with other users on the same machine?

    Having recently bought an imac I set up accounts for the family. I'd like to share a generic calendar with everyone that only the adults can read/write, but want to allow everyone to hold their personal calendars at the same time. All the accounts are on the same machine. Can this be done? If so how?

    You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
    If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
    If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
    You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
    There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

  • Does anyone else have this problem with the iTunes visualizer?

    I rarely use the iTunes visualizer but, when I do, it gives me the option of either using the newer one or the classic one. I like to use the new one but the problem is that I can only go to "visualizer options" if I am using the classic one. In said options I could set it so that the song info (song title, artist, album title and artwork) stays in the bottom left corner for the entire song. The few times I use the visualizer, I do like to have it up for the whole song--I just think it looks cool, I don't know...
    Anyway, since I can't get the options for the new visualizer, the song info always fades away after the first five seconds or so of the song.
    Anyone else realize this?? And does it annoy anyone else lol?

    Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
    "The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
    Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
    Not that you care. >.<

  • HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update?  My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching.  Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

    After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library.  Music works, but no movies.  I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy.  Is there a way to roll back an update?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Does anyone else have an issue with the iPad loosing wifi connectivity?

    My 6 month old 64 gig iPad keeps loosing WiFi connectivity.  This is a problem since I need it for work to test live video streams.  I keep having to back out and reconnect from the systems panel.  This happens when I shift posting even an inch while sitting down or moving from room to room at home.  I have strong connectivity both at home and at work.  There isn't an issue on any of my other devices and a co worker of mine has the same exact iPad, and he is having the exact same problem.  Is there a fix?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset then select "Reset Network Settings". the device will shut down and reboot. while that is rebooting, unplug the router, count to 10 plug it back in. wait for the network to appear in wifi accounts, and you're good as gold.
    but make sure you know your wifi password or you wont be able to access it. 

  • Sharing a folder with other users on the same machine (SOLVED)

    Hi,
    Recently, I've been sharing my computer with my dad. I don't want him to use my account, since I have a lot of secret files and bookmarks on my profile. However, I would like to share all my music with him. What I did was to set the permission of my Music directory to 777 and using root create a symbolic link from my own account to his account. But then when I log into his account, it says the folder is corrupt.
    Then I created a symbolic link from my music directory to /media/ and set the permission to 777. Again I tried to see if I can access it from my dad's account and got the same error.
    What's the best way of creating common folders between users in a linux machine?
    Note that, since I use Amarok, I don't want to move my Music to somewhere else, because it will mess up with the database info of songs.
    EDIT: I solved the problem by using mount instead of symbolic links.
    You have to issue the following command:
    mount --bind /home/name/music /media/music/
    Of course you have to execute this command whenever you boot the computer. Just place this command in rc.local and you're good.
    Thanks

    you are absolutely right and i recommend this as well.
    grey wrote:The link will probably not work, because in order to read /home/yourname/music, you need to be able to read /home/yourname. That is even true if root created the link.
    that is true for symbolic links, not bind mounts.  a bind mounted dir doesn't care about the parent directories because your not traversing to it through a link, it's just 'there'.  this is how i put folders under my ~ out on my http server.

  • HT5295 Does anyone else have an issue with the way iTunes fails to properly sync a podcast downloaded to an iPhone or iPad when connected to iTunes later?

    When I download a podcast directly to my iPhone or iPad and listen to it I expect it to reflect that status when I come home. Instead the podcast downloads again in iTunes and then wonderful joy it changes the status to unplayed and I wind up having to figure out what I've listened to and what I haven't (I listen to a lot of 'em).

    I'm not having issues.  What have you done to troubleshoot?

  • TS2565 Does anyone else have a problem using the motif xs as a controller in Logic 9.1.8?

    When I try to play a song it stutters. This did not happen in 9.1.7. Very annoying. Is there any way to go back to using 9.1.7 after upgrading?

    Thanks. I tried this but that doesn't solve it. It turns out if I press play & stop on the Motif simultaneously it will play, but then I have to start from the beginning of the song every time I start from the Motif. I really think this has to do with Logic 9.1.8.

  • How to I enable other users on the same machine to use Office products?

    My husband has the system set up so the kids accounts are secured by NetNanny. 
    We noticed tonight that the kids can't use Word, Excel or Powerpoint from their accounts. 
    You can only see it in my account.  You can't see it in my husband's Administrator account.
    How do we change this?  We'd like all users to be able to use the Office products.
    Thanks,
    Vikki

    I figured it out.  The other users had only read access to the programs.  Had to change it to read/write.
