EQ settings, what do they do???

Hello all,
I just bought a B&W Zeppelin, and it is SO COOL! But I have a question. If you go into the EQ settings in iPod on your iPhone, you can choose bass boost, or treble boost, but not both at the same time, which I *completely don't understand*, so as a work around, there are about 20 EQ settings, with names like: rock, jazz, funk, etc. Is there one that will boost both treble and bass???? I cannot find any info on what these named settings actually do. Does anyone know? Does anyone have a Zeppelin, and could tell me what their favorite settings are?
Thanks so much!

No one offers loss-less compression.
CDs are compressed too.
So what ever source you're getting your songs from is compressed.
Now you could argue forever what aac and wav compression limits are.
In the end I find that listening through a portable music device (like the iphone) has no real noticeable difference between "loss-less" CD extraction and high datarate aac; or itunes bought aac.
I find a good pair of studio headphones will let you hear the limits of the iphone or ipod as a device, rather then the audio format.
You'd be better off buying into a 10 bit extended CD player and disks if you really are worried about data-rates and audio quality.
But then you'll also need to get a great amp and speakers.
At which time you'll probably want to do research on Audio Equalizers, and complex equalization patterns. I believe there is a common set of equalization sets and Apple has included these in their idevices.
And as a poster above said, open itunes.
Open the equalizer window and choose the presets there.
You'll instantly see the effects the equalizer presets have on the different frequency ranges.
But in the end it's up to you personally if you can hear the difference between CDs and purchased aac files.

Color Settings: What do they really do?

The Edit > Color Settings command has choices "No Color Management", "Optimize for Computer Screens", and "Optimize for Printing". The documentation states that the latter two choices select sRGB and AdobeRGB color spaces, respectively.
What's not so clear are the conditions under which this selected color space is imposed. I once imagined that it specifies the working color space that the Editor uses. But if that were true, then I would expect that the image, once brought into the Editor, would be converted to the selected color space. What actually happens is that the image remains in its original color space unless an explicit Image > Convert Color Profile command is issued. (This is evident in the image properties dialog or the print dialog.)
So my question is: What is the actual use that PSE5 makes of the color space that is selected by Edit > Color Settings? Is this just for dealing with source images that are untagged or that are tagged with a profile other than sRGB or AdobeRGB?
It seems to me that it might be desirable to convert sRGB images to AdobeRGB prior to editing them. Then color adjustments or other editing operations could take advantage of the wider gamut of AdobeRGB compared to sRGB. The adjusted results might then include colors that are out-of-gamut for sRGB and that can improve the appearance of the printed output. But perhaps I am mistaken about whether this is really useful in practice.
(The above discussion assumes that the images originate as JPEGs. I realize that the color space story is entirely different for images originating as camera RAWs.)

Ed.....
The settings in Edit > Colour Settings have, in my opinion, misleading titles. You need to read carefully the small print that appears at the bottom of the Window which describes what each does.
b No Colour Management......
this is the obvious one. Elements performs no colour management and so you'll see your images just as if you where using any other Non-Colour Managed program...for example IE7. It also means that new documents you create from scratch will have your Monitor Profile associated with them which is not very useful.
b Optimise for Screen and Optimise for Print......
these turn on Colour Management but neither has any effect if the image you are opening already has a profile associated with it. The embedded profile gets honoured and thats what your working space will be.
If your image does not have a profile associated with it then Elements assigns sRGB if you set the 'Screen' option or AdobeRGB if you set the 'Print' option. This may or may not be the right choice for the image, depending on how it was created.
If you create a New Document from scratch then each setting decides the choice of working space - 'Screen' > sRGB, 'Print' > AdobeRGB
In v4 there is also a 'Allow me to Choose' option which checks that the image has a profile and uses that but if not then allows you to choose sRGB or AdobeRGB.
Converting from sRGB to AdobeRGB has no real advantage since the sRGB colour space is smaller. If the image source doesn't have the colours then converting wont produce them. The reverse is different. The conversion process has to decide how to map colours on the edge of the AdobeRGB space into a smaller space and still keep the general perception of colours the same. Typically they are just thrown away in Elements but on full Photoshop you have more control over this process.
RAW images as you say are different but still effected by the Colour Settings. If you have the 'Screen' option set then once you process the RAW image the result is in the sRGB space. Likewise if you choose 'Print' then the image is in AdobeRGB.
RAW images are in a very much wider space than AdobeRGB so you're possibily throwing away more colours. However, keep in mind that your display is probably close to sRGB and your printer may be totally different in its capability of re-producing colours.

Sequencer Settings - what do they affect?

First time user here, I'm a little confused about the documentation about the Sequencer Settings (Control+0), the settings such as quality, codec, etc, what exactly do they affect (and by that I mean at what level).
Do they affect the way they are rendered as I am previewing my project or when I do the final render/export?
Does it affect quality and codec if I use FC to export or if I send to Compressor will it affect the way Compressor renders it? what if I use pass-through settings with compressor? Will the Sequencer Settings in FC affect that too? Basically I'm looking for the scope of how much of FC's Sequencer Settings affect.

It effects your performance and rendering in FCP. It effects your export functions and output to tape. It does not effect send to or share.

Messages "receive at" settings - what do they really mean?

Yesterday I was not able to send iMessages from Messages Beta anywhere. This morning when I woke up I could. I didn't change any settings though. What can I say? I guess there was a big time lag from installation until it worked right. Beta software.
But I have a question about the "receive at" settings on my iPhone and iPad.
Currently, messages sent from Messages Beta on my iMac arrive everywhere (iPhone, iPad and in Messages itself) in all these cases:
          (1) Sent to my iPhone number.
          (2) Sent to my Apple id main email address (in my personal domain).
          (3) Sent to my iCloud @me.com address.
          (4) Sent to my cell phone provider's @softbank.ne.jp address.
The latter three are set as verified addresses at my Apple id settings at the Apple site at https://appleid.apple.com.
However, addresses (3) and (4) above are not set in my Messages "receive at" settings. On my iPhone I just have (1) and (2) set. And on my iPad I just have (2) set. Yet iMessages sent to all 4 now arrive everywhere. I wonder what the purpose of the "receive at" settings are in that case?
Thanks,
doug

HI,
I am not sure that I follow exactly what you are saying.
Are you saying that an iMessage sent from Messages to your Phone's phone number also show up and is synced with the Apple ID, the iCloud ID and the extra email (on the phone ) ?
I have an Apple ID (Dial-Up account email)
It has been linked to an iCloud @me.com name (on the Apple ID site it is now listed as a Verified email)
In Messages I used the iCloud ID as the "Signing in name" so this is what Messages sends from.
If I then iMessage my iPhone (number) my phone shows two conversations (it is set to Receive At the Number and the iCloud ID whilst Caller ID is set to the iCloud ID)
1) the Messages to Number chat
2) the iCould ID sync version of this.
If I iMessage the iCloud ID it only shows up like a synced chat on the Phone rather than a fuill conversation.
I do not get a Messages turning up on the Dial-Up email ID (it is in the phone for email) (my 2)
I do have the (3) iCloud ID but this is Messages Send name and the Phone's alternative Received At
I do have a (4) as at the Apple ID site I have a Google ID listed but I am not getting messages here either.
In System Preferences > Users and Groups (as it is now in Lion) I have my iCloud ID as my Apple ID set up
Similarly in Mail, Contacts and Calendars I have the iCloud ID set to my @me.com name (rather then the Apple ID that created it)
The Dial-up email Original Apple ID is actually Disabled here.
It would seem that the different names and IDs must be linked somewhere but it is likely to be something that looks small in the changes to Lion but has wider consequences than we first see.

My parents just bought an ipad. Their apple ID is correct in all the places except in the iTunes and App Stores settings. It won't let you click on the Apple ID to change it. What should they do?

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it! Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them? TIA

The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

Question
The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

SCCM 2012 SP1 - Evil Folders in Reporting Services - What Are They and How to Remove Them

Hello All,
There are a lot of sub-folders in the http://CentralSiteSCCM/ReportServer. They are like:
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.0
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.1
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.10
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.100
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.1000
Only <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN is properly populated with the correct set of the default folders.
Would you be so kind to advise on:
What are they?
How to remove them?
What to do in order for them not to appear any more?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Mike,
I ran into an issue when I did the SP1 upgrade where a majority of our reports were duplicated. I created a script to delete these duplicate reports and I've adjusted it to work for your situation. You can find the original thread here, if you're interested:

Yosemite 10.10.2 server app. FTP help. I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac folder. It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?

So I have set up a localhost area in my Mac. I have the new server.app and I am running yosemite 10.10.2 .
I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac .
It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?
I am pretty certain that the Serveris "localhost",
Name is my macs name (like my-mac-min)
password is "my login password"
and they suggest port 21.
But what is the file path, lets just say my site is set up http://localhost/siteftp and is actually at my Users/Sites/siteftp folder.
Why cant this program connect to the mac.
Is it because they are both operating in the same localhost enviroment,
could it be my folder permissions are not correct on siteftp folder?
Help please !

I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.

Icons in finder bar; what do they mean and how to get rid of them

Hi I notice these icons in my finder bar. I'm confused; what are they there for and how to get rid of them?
Thanks for the help!

One is a Flash movie project and the other two a PDF files - you usually have them in your Finder window bar because you've dragged them to that location. You can get rid of them by selecting the icon with the Command key held down and drag them to the Desktop - poof! - they'll disappear.

Today, I randomly happened to have less than 1GB of hard drive space left. I found very large "frame" files, what are they?

I found very large "frame" files, what are they & can I delete them? (See screenshot). I'm a (17 today)-year-old film-maker and can't edit in FCP X anymore because I "don't have enough space". Every time I try to delete one, another identical file creates itself...
If that can help: I just upgraded to FCP 10.0.4 and every time I launch it it asks to convert my current projects (I know it would do it at least once) and I accept, but everytime I have to get it done AGAIN. My computer is slower than ever and I have a deadline this friday
I also just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4, and the problem hasn't been here for long, so it may be linked...
Please help me!
Alex

The first thing you should do is to back up your personal data. It is possible that your hard drive is failing. If you are using Time Machine, that part is already done.
Then, I think it would be easiest to reformat the drive and restore. If you ARE using Time Machine, you can start up from your Leopard installation disc. At the first Installer screen, go up to the menu bar, and from the Utilities menu, first select to run Disk Utility. Completely erase the internal drive using the Erase tab; make sure you have the internal DRIVE (not the volume) selected in the sidebar, and make sure you are NOT erasing your Time Machine drive by mistake. After erasing, quit Disk Utility, and select the command to restore from backup from the same Utilities menu. Using that Time Machine volume restore utility, you can restore it to a time and date immediately before you went on vacation, when things were working.
If you are not using Time Machine, you can erase and reinstall the OS (after you have backed up your personal data). After restarting from the new installation and installing all the updates using Software Update, you can restore your personal data from the backup you just made.
