Eye TV 2.1,Toast 7

Hi
Does anyone have trouble with archiving programmes from eye tv to toast? I do this regularly as it is better watching on a tv screen but since upgrading to Toast 7 and the new version of eye tv the whole process has become a mess. The problem is sound, it either records with no sound or some kind of weird commentary which sounds as if it is for blind people if that makes sense. Have tried both eye tv support and toast but eye tv suggested it was a bug when both are actively advertised as being fully compatible. Toast suggest phonning support at £1 per min cost. Its really irritating and frustrating. Any help would be great.

Yep same problem.
I've been streaming/watching at least one show a night on my atv for months without issue. Now it takes forever to buffer and then stops to re-buffer about every 30 seconds. My wireless-n signal strength is excellent to the atv.
I decided to sync my shows until the issue is resolved and noticed the sync is a lot slower than it was previously and the transfer speed is very un-steady. I tested doing a copy of the same file to my wireless-g laptop and it copied in a fraction of the time at a very steady transfer rate (like the atv use to do), so I don't think it is a network issue.
I also tried the standard things like un-linking/re-linking, shut down/restart, etc as suggested in this thread and others without luck.

Retina Display MacBook Pro eye problem and strain

Hi, the name is Ben
Recently, I boought a retina display and have since been having noticeable eye problem.
(strain, fatigue, oversensativity to computer monitor/screen ligthing)
My question was, has anyone been experiencing the same.
I use my computer pretty much all day, since my work/studies are all based on it.
Still, after 2 weeks of using retina display macbook pro, I have rapidely seen my eyes
starting to hurt, being oversensitive to computer monitor (not that I can't use any, but am
very sensitive to any lighting and need particular moderation in usage)
Now true, there ARE many good habits I did not know of before,(see some examples below)
that I am trying to adopt but still (reducing only in part the problem), I must say I am rather worried,
since I have never had any similar problem in 5 yearsof using my previous 13", macbook, mid 2007.
Any commments, or suggestion (constructive of course) would be welcome.
(few examples of of good habits I have tried so far)
as regularly standing (/30 min),
look at something far away for 20 second (/20 min), blinking regularly, closing eyes for a moment,
adjusting lighting in work environnement, buying an antiglare film or device (nushield) , adjusting screen position,
not working to close to screen, using bigger fonts

an hour on my MBP by itself (someone else's office, a hotel room, an airplane, my lazy sofa) and my eyes lose the ability to focus --and I'm toast.
Ok, I'll explain why.
First off your iPad and iPhone screen is smaller, thus doesn't reflect as much as a larger display will.
Your other displays are in a static environment where you have reduced the glare or it's been reduced just by chance.
When you take the glossy screen laptop to another location without adequate environmental features to reduce glare imposed (no overhead lights, closed windows, low light etc.) on the screen, thus your getting eyestrain from the glare.
It's caused by the slightly out of focus reflections verses the screen image, your eyes are automatically refocusing between the two images.
Your solution in this matter is to apply a anti-glare film to the laptops glossy screen, unfortunately it's going to cost money and be replaced often as it gets dirty, dries out and peels at edges etc.
Ideally a anti-glare matte screen would be the choice in the first place. I use my Mac for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and don't have the eyestrain problem anymore.

Elgato Eye TV for recording TV to iPod

I'm considering buying Elgato's Eye TV in order to record TV shows to then transfer to my computer and iPod. I see that they now have Eye TV2, which has the ability to transfer to iPod, however, I can't really tell if this is just the software to go with the Eye TV unit, or what. Since I'm not interested in doing a whole lot of this, I don't want to invest a great deal of money. Also, does anyone currently use Eye TV, and if so, which model is best suited to use with DirecTV?
I'd also be curious to know how long it takes to convert the files so they can be used in iTunes?
Any thoughts or experience will be greatly appreciated.

NikR, I bought a new iMac in December and soon followed it with an Eye TV device which I bought from the Apple Store in Sheffield. The Apple Genius there was really helpful and said that the Miglia (http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/61114042/wo/ij4RhNFXhqg12VsV kMJ20RccOyM/1.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.3.3)
was cheaper and uses the same software as the Eye TV I was looking at (http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/61114042/wo/ij4RhNFXhqg12VsV kMJ20RccOyM/3.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3).
The main difference apart from the cost is that the Eye TV comes with a small aerial, whereas you will need to plug your house aerial into the Miglia.
Actually I have the Eye TV set up with my house aerial as I am in a weak signal area and need a higher aerial to get a good picture. You can get all Freeview radio and TV channels and the software is very easy to use. The images when produced onto DVD are excellent. I use Roxio Toast.
Hope that helps.

Accessing tunes from within STP or Toast

When using Toast, or Motion, or Soundtrack Pro, etc media browser files provide access to iTunes for selecting whichever tune you want. Very nice. However I cannot see all my tunes. They're listed in Compilations, Albums, etc. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the ones I want to appear in that browser window. For instance, in iTunes I imported 4 tracks. I selected them, created a playlist with those 4, and indicated they were a compilation. I also included them in an existing playlist that does somehow appear in the browser in outside apps (Motion, STP, Toast, etc). But no matter what I try, those 4 songs are not accessible from within Toast. I simply cannot see them to burn to a CD. They are songs that are legal, nothing shady from that department, but my eyes and brain are foggy about how/where those browsers are accessing the data. Any help appreciated.

There used to be something called high-level API. Abandoned ages ago because most of us preferred the "real thing" or went to scripting.
TextStyleRange like all the other Text scripting objects are second class citizens of the object model - they are created only on the fly as "proxy" objects. On the down side that means they consume memory until the document is released/saved/closed, and may fall apart (point to the wrong chunk of text) after any manipulation in preceding text. Besides the implementation is overkill by several degrees - each instance (I think it was kTextScriptingSuiteBoss) is the equivalent to a whole selection suite boss.
That said, you can use IScriptUtils to access kScriptInfoManagerBoss.
IScriptRequestHandler is aggregated there to execute script requests.
Be warned that constructing such script requests also has some learning curve, and the interfaces in the scripting area are extremely unstable across InDesign versions. Every other version renames methods, classes, adds or removes arguments. You will need plenty preprocessor conditions for cross-version code.
From the plugin side I only use that approach where the official interfaces do not work and the working interfaces (as used by scripting) are not exposed. One concrete case is TOP (type on path).

Elgato Eye TV for DTT

I am thinking about buying the eye tv for dtt for my imac g5. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information about exactly what channels you can watch and if you need to plug into a freeview box to receive channels - will it be the same as the other eye tv products and if so, will i be able to watch all of the same freeview digital channels that i receive on my freeview box on normal tv set? Just wondered if anyone out there can help a bit before I buy one - any ideas what high street shops sell them and how much they are?

Compress MPEG for Toast

I exported some video through Eye TV using the export/for Toast option, which I have done successfully in the past. This time the MPEG file turned out to be 3.36 GB, when I try to burn to DVD with Toast 6 Titanium I receive an error message that the file is too large. Is there any way to export the MPEG and create a video_ts file that I can use Popcorn to compress and burn or simply compress the file to a size that Toast can manage? I really don't want to split the movie into two parts.
Thanks

When I played through Eye TV and exported, the option I usually use if "for Toast" and this is what is stated:
"Creates a file suitable for burning with Toast. For MPEG- 1/2 content a program stream will be created. For MPEG-4 or DivX content an AVI file will be created.
Video: MPEG, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Audio: MPEG, Stereo, 48000 Hz
Duration: 1:52:04, Estimated Size 3.5 GB (552 KB/sec)"
I am using Toast Titanium 6, (I have been putting off updating software as I am likely to own on of the Intel Macs later this year and do not want to spend a bundle on software that may be incompatable, maybe being a bit over cautious).

Painfully slow DVD burning process with Toast .Tips welcome.

Just new to Mac,, and I am going crazy trying to burn/copy a DVD (legally). I do see that it is burning anywhere from 1-3 times rate (no wonder).I give instructions to do it on auto. And if I bring in a file to burn, which is the best type to import to Toast to burn(and less loss of quality)? Should I, or can I replace (upgrade) my 8 X drive (Matshutita?). Any programs (besides Toast)that will handle burning process faster? I used to grab an mpeg file on my PC, and have it burned within 25 minutes tops with TMPGenc for example. I don't think I can handle the slowness.

Even if you have a fully comliant MPEG-2 source, say EYE TV or a VOB file you still have to "author" the DVD with Toast (or DVD Studio Pro for $1000) to build the final DVD in the right format with VIDEO_TS folder, IFO and BUP files that guide the player. Use Toast. Most of the time a compliant MPEG-2 will not re-encode so the process is quite fast. Set the encoding option to "Never". If it needs to be re-encoded it will do that despite the "Never".
Waste of time paying anything to put a new DVD drive in an iMac. Leave it alone and get an external LaCie firewire as I advised already. The authoring time has zero to do with the drive since all the encoding is done by the mac and then you burn the final image to a DVD. A 1X or 20X won't affect the speed.
I just think the internal drives , iMac, MacBook Pro are slow and pokey and a hassle to use and $100-$150 is worth the expense. The D2 drives come with a full version of Toast as well or they did when I bought mine.

Help! Mac OS X error -39 when burning DVD in toast 8; -36 in Toast 7

iMac just over 1 year old - core duo on 10.4.9. Recently, I've been doing a lot more video work using the super drive. When burning recordings from Eye TV 2.3.3 to Toast 8 using LG DVD-R 1-8x blanks, I had two writes to fail and on the third try I got an error -39 (end of file.) I've not had any problems with these disks writing at 2x speed. I tried a GQ 16x DVD-R, which I had been using, and the write completed, but when playing back with DVD player the disc hung and I got a -36 error stating that disc may be dirty or scratched. My discs are fine. Also, I tried a write to an LG disc using Toast 7 and got a can't write error -36. Is the drive dirty, dusty or failing? The DVD writer is the internal drive that comes with the iMac not an external drive - Thanks for suggestions and help.
If the drive is dirty, how do you clean it without opening the case? Can you put the straw on the air duster through the slot and give it a spray safely? Seems like that would work but probably not recommended by tech support.

Those errors are Mac OS X errors.
-36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
-39 eofErr End of file; no additional data in the format
I suspect a defective drive. I've tried three different kinds of DVD blanks including a Sony DVD-R and same problems with all. Time to back up my files and take it in.
BTW - here's a list of all the Mac OS X error codes for those who might want or need them.

I think it would be easier for others to help or giving you suggestion if you can tell in more details regarding the configuration of your system. Such as, is the DVD writer is newly brought? and/or how the DVD writer is connecting to your system (such as whether it is directly connecting to the firewire port of your mac or daisy chained to other firewire device or firewire hub, etc)?

Most of my equipment has toasted, and I need the data back.

I must have been a very, very bad person in a past life. This week has been more technologically harrowing than I'd thought possible.
My cherished Titanium Powerbook died after a valiant battle, and the Apple techs said that there was nothing they could do, Apple just doesn't support such antiques (not sure if they meant me or the PB). They did let me download my files onto my 80G Smartdisk FireLite, and though the PB hard drive was acting a bit wonky and transfer was slow, I got most of the files. Most everything already had been backed up on the FireLite, but I grabbed the remainder. This means that My Entire Life resided on the FireLite.
I was about to download the files onto the G4 cube, and plugged in a USB hub with an optical mouse and a jump drive on it--and something started to burn. The jump drive, the mouse, and the hub fried. Now it looks as though the well-named FireLite is toast too, since though it powers up, it won't mount and nothing recognizes it. The cube is fine.
I still have the hard drive from the late lamented Powerbook, so if it holds up a bit longer, I ought to be able to save most if not all the files. Can I do this myself if I can get an external case to power the PB drive? And if the PB drive does indeed hold up, could I continue to use it? (This would be helpful, since the MacBook Pro won't run Classic, which is necessary in the short term for all my current programs and most peripherals.)
If an external case is feasible, can someone give me specs for what to get? I'm hoping it's affordable, though I'd also look for one to borrow.
If it isn't feasible, would someone please shoot me now?
Thanks.

Hi A,
Just one thought to add: I would get a FireWire enclosure so if you ever want to clone an entire HD on a Mac, you would then have a secure backup which was also able to boot said Mac.

How to email photos to your mobile me account from a computer eye-fi card

For use with Eye-Fi SD Camera Cards! Set up your eye-fi account first and check it by uploading a photo or two to see that is working. Set your preferences according to your card capabilities. Ie. Upload to computer via folder or iphoto. Upload to photo sharing service. We'll upload to Mobile Me's Gallery via email. If you want the albums to be seen by the public make sure you have selected this public option according to eye-fi/Mobile me settings/instructions etc.
To try and follow the directions given by mobile me's help menu under the heading: Adding photos via email or mobile phone to your Gallery, is in error. It took a couple of days to resolve issues with the directions because they tell you to look for buttons with text on them which don't exist. Some of the directions are copied here with corrections.
First, in iPhoto, make a Mobile Me Gallery Album. You can do this by making a folder under the File Menu of iPhoto, clicking on it to select the album, and then under the share menu in iPhoto click on Mobile Me. We will only sync once to create the Mobile Me Gallery folder for Eye-Fi to auto-upload Eye-Fi photos via the Eye-Fi Manager/or email. This means iphoto will Sync and update itself according to the contents on Mobile Me Gallery (I set my iPhoto's RSS tab to Sync every hour).
If you select your chosen upload Mobile Me Album folder in iPhoto and click on Mobile Me under the Share Menu to sync it again it will make a duplicate album with the same name which could lead to confusion about which folder we are setting up to sync with. All we need here is to create an Album in Gallery and sync it once so that it adds the Album to the Mobile Me Gallery's drop down menu on iPhoto. You can edit the contents of later if need be by adding or deleting photos, dragging photo in/out etc. You can delete this initial album in your Album's drop down menu, (Not the Mobile Me Gallery Drop Down Menu) after the first sync because smart albums etc. will not sync except manually.
Once the Mobile Me Gallery Folder is created you can use Safari or iPhoto to manage it. Go to your Gallery web address via Safari or Firefox etc.: Your Mobile Me Gallery site should be something like: http:// gallery.me.com/YourMemberName. Once logged in, select the Sunflower icon in the upper left area of the Safari/browser window to load your Mobile Me Gallery and leave it on that page. We'll be back to it later.
In iPhoto, go to the Mobile Me Gallery drop down window (left pane), single click the photo album to which you want to email photos to. If you want to change the name, click again on the name and change it to something like "Uploads" and do not remove it, delete it, rename it, or otherwise render iPhoto and/or Mail and/or Eye-Fi unable to find or sync to it.
In Safari, choose Safari Menu, Preferences then the RSS tab. I have mine set to "default RSS reader is Mail" and I selected Check for Updates every 30 minutes.
'"Click the “Send to Album” button above the photo album, and then follow the onscreen instructions."'<-- This is from the Mobile Me help menu and I'm assuming they are talking about your web browser, Safari etc. So go to your web browser's display of your Mobile Me Gallery.
Corrections: THERE ARE NO 'Send to Album" BUTTONS! In Safari, in the Mobile Me Gallery window, inside the black band across the upper part of the window, in the center of that black band is a very small grey rectangle with what looks like switches. To the left of it is a rectangle with an Up Arrow. If this Up Arrow is greyed out it means you have not set it to upload to an email address which we'll do now. Click on the rectangle icon that looks like switches beside the up arrow icon. This will display a settings window when you click on it. Click on it now.
In this new settings window, Under Album Name: under Allow: click the square box beside: "Adding of photos via email or iPhone"
Further down the list, under "Show", click the check box beside: "Email address for uploading photos". You will need to find this email address and it will need to be displayed for that purpose. You may have to set this check box a couple of times if you've had problems like I've had with it being turned off again. It may take some time for the servers or whatever to update.
Under "Advanced" click on the program you'd like it to sync with. It says "Syncs with" beside this check box Ie. Select iPhoto or (Aperture if you have it). Then click publish. When you check the up arrow icon it should no longer be greyed out.
Mobile Me's Help directions refer to a "Send to Album" button. There is no "Send to Album" text on any button as given in the Mobile Me Help Menu. There is a small square with an Up -Arrow inside the box. I guess this is suppose to mean "Send to Album"? In iPhoto you can also drag the photo from somewhere in your collection, desktop or whatever into this Mobile Me Gallery upload folder in iPhoto and sync from there. For now, let's use Safari or your browser and login to Mobile Me and access your gallery that way.
If you are using Eye-Fi you will need to setup Mail to handle the process of forwarding photos from Eye-Fi's server to this new email address (I'll give you info on how to find it in a sec). This email address will upload photos sent to you by Eye-Fi's server/manager which you will instruct Mail to forward the message (attached photos and all) directly to your selected Mobile Me Gallery Album (via the new email address) and thereafter auto sync with iPhoto. (it also uploads the eye-fi logo photo in each email... sorry about that).
If you are using a phone you will need to record this email address. To find the email address you need to upload a test photo now. In your browser window click on that up arrow icon in the black band on your screen. This is the upload window. Give it a few seconds to load and click on the choose button or drag a photo onto it. Let it complete the upload.
Go back to that small switch like grey box in Safari (or your browser) mentioned earlier. It once did not contain an email address but now it does! Once it has accepted the photo upload there will be an email address for this folder near the middle of the window...(this is why you should not alter this folder, delete it, re-add it later etc. because it could invalidate the email address (I'm assuming.) Hold down the Control key on our keyboard and mouse click once on this email address which will copy the email address to the clipboard which we'll need later to paste into Mail once we set up new mail rules.
In the left pane in iPhoto is the Mobile Me Gallery drop down window. In there is the sync folder you setup. There will be an icon of radiating radio waves to the right of each folder item in your Mobile Me Gallery. If you want to sync any folder at any time just click on its radio wave. The radio wave icon will become a rotating wheel, showing that the album is being synced.
OK. I'm going to set preferences for a new rule in mail. When it receives an email with a photo from Eye-Fi's website Manager, we will tell Mail to mark the email as read, turn its background green, forward the email with photo attached to the email address given by the little grey settings icon and then run an applescript to verbally say the photo was uploaded.
Open Mail. Under the Mail Menu select "Preferences". This opens a window. Select "Rules" on the far right end of this window. Click on Add Rule. Make a name for this rule in the appropriate box. Something like Eye-Fi upload will do. You can name it anything you want.
When you setup Eye-Fi you will have chosen an email address. We need to have Mail determine the account we will forward the photo from and the email address for our Mobile Me Gallery upload folder.
Mail Rule #1. To enter the first rule click on the + button beneath the name of your rule. This adds a rule. In the leftmost dropdown window beside the - and + signs, choose From. The next window to the right: select "contains" and in the right most window enter [email protected]
Rule #2. Click on the + button for the next rule. From left to right, in each drop down window, first select "Subject", then "contains" then enter "Complete camera upload" (minus the quotes). Spell "Complete camera upload" not "complete camera upload" because these are two different things.
Rule #3. Following the same sequence as in rule #2, select "To" then "contains" then enter the email address you set up with the eye-fi manager website.
Below the rules is this section where it says "Perform the following actions." We need to instruct Mail what to do.
Following the sequence of drop down menus from left to right select: "Set Color" (spelt wrong. should be colour), select of background, select the colour you want. I chose green.
Next click on plus to add another rule
Click on the leftmost drop down window and select "Forward Message". A new drop down window to the right of it will say "to". Enter the email address you got from the window in your safari browser that is on the Mobile Me website in that switch like square, the settings window, (where you got the email address from). You can do this by clicking once in the window and then pressing the apple key and the "v" key at the same time. This will copy the address we pasted into the clipboard earlier, and it will paste the email address into this rule. This is where the photos will be directed via mail to upload onto our Mobile Me Gallery upload folder.
On My computer when I pasted the email address into this box it turned red. But it still worked. No idea why it is red.
Click on + again to add another rule. This time select "Mark as Read". Why not? Saves us having to do it.
Click on + again to add a third rule. This time select "Run AppleScript" and click the choose button to select where the following applescript is saved and the name of the script. Pause here for a moment while we make the applescript and save it in documents folder or wherever you want. Just remember where you put it.
Run the AppleScript editor in the AppleScript folder in the Applications folder in the Finder window.
Copy this script into the main window, press compile to check for errors and then save it as a script file. The default should be script file anyways so you may not have to choose it. Just don't select app or some other format. We need the script format to run it from Mail.
say "Hello Dave, This is Hal. Your photo has finished uploading."
say "doh doh deh deh doh dah dah dah dah dah dah" using "Bad News"
say ((current date) as string)
You can change the name and what you want the computer to speak in the first line inside the quotes. Keep the Quotation Marks though!
When Mail runs it will speak this message and the date/time.
Enjoy!
How it works. Eye-Fi manager can be set to select an email address to forward notifications of when it starts and stops uploading. You must do this for this process to work. We tell Mail that when it receives a message from Eye-Fi stating the upload is complete, that it should then forward the message with attached photos to the Mobile Me Gallery upload folder and carry out the Mail rules we created. The photos are then placed in the Mobile Me Gallery and can be synced with iPhoto so you don't have to set Eye-Fi to upload to Mobile Me. Now you can set Eye-Fi to upload to another photo sharing website if you want to (there's about 20 of them now). I also tell Eye-Fi to save a copy in an Eye-Fi folder in my pictures folder as an extra precaution just incase something goes wrong with the email system. There is a drop down window that appears in the upper right side of the screen when the Eye-Fi manager uploads the photo. If you miss seeing it, don't worry. Hal will let you know via email and voice!
Depending on the Eye-Fi card you bought, it may or may not have some features. I have the Eye-Fi home card. You can check their website for the capabilities of the card you have.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out this Apple document: MobileMe: Setting up MobileMe email on your Mac.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Drop down menus disappear in a blink of an eye. If I open more than 10 tabs I can't get to them, the arrow takes me back to the first 10. Only in FF, IE works fine. Tried safe mode and no change. It was fine one day and then not the next?

drop down menus don't work...they disappear in a blink of an eye. This only happens in FF not IE? That includes the menu below! I can't have more than 10 tabs open because the arrow won't take me past 10 it just returns to the first 10???

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

Converting DVD Files to DV with Toast and Storage Issues

Hello all.
In regard to my previous posting of converting to DV in Toast, I have started this new thread because I can't seem to reply to the other posting. When I originally dragged the Video TS folder from the DVD into the Toast window, it somehow didn't load completely although it seemed as though it did.
I then decided to import the material via the Media pane and everything then worked fine. These are movies originally filmed in 8 mm silent movie film a long time ago. I had sent some of them away to be transferred directly from film to MiniDv tape which gave me excellent clarity and color. But that was expensive. So I decided to transfer my remaining film which I had transferred to VHS tape when that first technology first came out.

Hi

Issue with Quicklook in toast 9

I am having an issue with Quicklook in Toast 9 just in my user account. Any ideas on why? I have removed and re-installed all Toast 9 files, prefs, etc... The issue is only in my user account.

*"Any ideas on why?"*
No, because you didn't tell us what the issue is?
