Does anyone know a simple way of creating read-only DMGs from card media?
We're looking for a simple workflow to copy/archive card media from cameras.
Can anyone recommend a utility / Droplet / Applescript that will create a read-ony DMG directly from mounted card media?
Preferably something where the disk name of the DMG can be set when its created.
Thanks!
Nick
Thanks! That's a handy start.
I'll take a look at the command line options of hdiutil. Ultimately, we're looking for a workflow for non-terminal users so I imagine we'll wrap it up in AppleScript.
The idea is to make a simple drag+drop process for people shooting digital video to archive card media as read-only dmgs with custom reel names. Something like...
- select the card/folder (or drag onto AppleScript)
- enter name and location of dmg in file dialogue
- create and verify dmg
Cheers
Nick

Does anyone know the best way to create a form that you can do a mail merge with?
I have been asked to create a form that can be used to do a mail merge. At first I thought I could create it in indesign and then pdf the file and do form fields right in the pdf, but I'm not sure if you can do a mail merge with data in an excel file and a pdf file containing form fields.
The other option I know I could use is a Word file and excel, but I don't think the functionality is as good as in a pdf (like addition of percentages, or error messages, radio buttons, etc.). And I do need to be able to do a mail merge. Anybody have any suggestions?There is not built-in feature for this, but it can be done with scripting. The problem is it can be a bit complicated, and it more complicated to decribe in much detail in a forum posting. It involves creating the base form and making the pages templates. You can export from Excel to a tab delimited text file. You can then either programmatically create a template-based FDF that when loaded into Acrobat populates the PDF form, creating as many individual forms as needed, or using JavaScript in Acrobat to read the data file and generate as many individual forms as needed. Both approaches involve a similar amount of programming, but they're quite different.

Suddenly after upgrading I can't get rid of a Yahoo home page. Really annoying
Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here? -
Having a problem with files that are exported from FCP and delivered to Master Control. They are then
transcoded to .gfx by Rhozet software for air as a .gfx in Grass valley's K-2's. Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks.Thanks neuroanatomist. That was really helpful, but when I went in and looked in my SMS folder, I opened it under notepad and it was all garbled and hard to read. It didn't look like in my iphone of indicating conversations between me and another person. I could see my conversations, but they where all mixed in with numbers and weird characters I've never seen before. You wouldn't happen to know of another program out there that can put it perhaps like in a word doc. or even excel sheet? Something that's just organized. Thanks.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

Hi Guys does anyone know of a way i can get cyclops speed camera alert to work through bluetooth incar hands free kit , i used to be able to connect it via an app called drivesafely but this app is no longer available in apple store ????????????
I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems. -

Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes. -

There's Toast.

$79.99
Final Cut Pro X will also burn DVDs.
$299.99
How large is your movie? Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD? Is uploading to YouTube an option?

My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts. However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen. She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?
Her contacts would be wherever she put them
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone. -
I travel for work and use iCloud - I can not use back to my mac because i use a Verizon MiFi wireless that does not have NAT-PMP or UPnP. Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem
All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

Are you talking about spellcheck or the language of menus and dialogues and menus?

I have an iPhone 5 and if I make a call it goes blank hangs up on the people and then proceeds to facetime them automatically. Does anyone know how to fix this? It only started with ios7
Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

Does anyone know how to turn off my Yahoo! email from popping up? Currently, my Yahoo! email pops up, but I have to go to Mail to get my gmail. I would love to switch this! Any thoughts?
It's all or nothing. You can to selectively get notifications for one account and not the others. As for g-mail, how do you have it set up? If it's not set to poll automatically, or set up as push (as an Exchange account), then you won't be notified until you maually open the mail client and pull it down.
