FCP 7 and Samsung MX20 - settings?

I have a Samsung MX20 camcorder. This is the SD, not HD, version. I don't see anything in the FCP docs that suggests how to deal with the files created by this camcorder. The footage is anamorphic, interlaced, and SD. I can see how to correct the issues once I have the files in my Sequence but I'm sure there's a proper way of setting up a sequence and automatically dealing with these files when I bring them in to FCP (just dropping them into the sequence).
Is this a case of setting up some sort of automation (like a de-interlace filter and setting the anamorphic flag)?
By the way, if I drop the files onto QT Player, it opens them as 4:3 and doesn't see the 16:9 flag (or Samsung implements this poorly).
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your quick response.
The info by "Format" is as follows:

Yes, the first "S" of Samsung isn't there and the bizarre characters on both lines are as close as I can get to reproducing them here.
This is H264 in an MP4 container recorded at about 6200kbps in 720x480 pixels. It's also interlaced and the wide-screen flag isn't respected in any app I've tried. I've been running all the files through MPEG Streamclip to 640x360 H264/MP4 with the deinterlace checkbox enabled at about 3500kbps. The resulting files then work fine in any QT-based app but, of course, I'd like to shortcut this process somehow. If I can't, then I wonder if I should simply batch process them through MPEG Streamclip before I drop them into FCP. I do have to render everything, however, hence my request for the proper settings for FCP.

  • Unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie, camera not recognized.

    I am unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie.
    I have been dealing with this problem for quite a while now, and I think I have tried everything posted on these forums regarding this issue. I have been to the Quicktime, iMovie, and this FCP forum looking for the solution. Hopefully someone has a suggestion that I have missed or have not tried yet. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX Tiger 10.4. I am running Quicktime 7.04, and FCP 4.5.
    My problem is this… I am unable to capture from my Canon ZR-200 Mini DV camera, using Final Cut Pro, iMovie and also Quicktime. FCP says no camera recognized. iMovie says no camera attached, and Quicktime says no recording device found. In FCP, I am using the Firewire Basic setting, and NTSC DV settings. I have captured in FCP with the same camera several times in the past. I think the problem started when I upgraded to OSX 10.4, or one of the Quicktime upgrades.
    Here are the details…
    - Camera is connect via Firewire. I have tried the built in ports, as well as a Firewire Carbus card.
    - OSX recognizes the Canon ZR-200 in the System Profiler, so I know the computer sees the camera.
    - I have tried the camera on a Windows XP machine, and capture works perfectly, so I know the camera is functioning properly in VTR mode.
    - Deleted my FCP pref’s using FCP Rescue.
    - Deleted the Quicktime receipts, and re-installed Quicktime 7.04
    - Reverted back to Quicktime 7.01
    - Set the audio to 44.1 in the the Audio MIDI setup in the Utilities folder
    - Tried the “GarageBand” fix, opening the programing, playing a few notes and closing.
    - I have installed Quicktime using the program “Yank” to completely delete Quicktime and re-install.
    I may have tried more solutions, but these are the fixes that I can recall.
    If anyone has any others suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

  • Mac Mini and Samsung 43" DLP HDTV  gets Black Screen Only

    Just bought a new Mac Mini with great anticipation for some large screen viewing.
    After numerous attempts the Mini has yet to produce anything but a black image with the occasional red or white horizontal line on my 43" Samsung DLP TV. Not even a brief grey start up screen. Just permanently black.
    Here's the kicker: I do get a great computer screen image on this 43" DLP TV in Mac OS 8.6 off my ten year old Macintosh PowerPC. (The trouble is it's a noisy older computer and has no bluetooth for wireless mouse & keyboard: and no Front Row with remote control)
    I have the VGA cable connected to the "computer in" port on the back of the Samsung DLP TV .
    This is with the exact same cable and connection that refuses to work with the Mini.
    Earlier attempts at using the DVI port were unsuccessful so for now I am staying with what works on the older Mac.
    Some other things I've tried:
    -with my Mini hooked up to a 17" CRT Samsung monitor I have tried all available resolution settings at 60 Hz, reconnecting to my large screen Samsung each time, producing nothing but the black screen.
    I've tried turning the TV on before the Mini and vice versa
    I always check to make sure the PC connection is selected on the TV
    As well, I have re-installed the OS onto the Mini to eliminate any possibility of a sofware conflict from data transferred from my Emac
    After consulting an Apple technical page (article 303406) regarding Black Screen issues and Mac Mini on large screen HDTVs, I went into single user mode and changed some text as specified. That did't help either
    So far I have never seen a grey startup screen at all, only a totally black screen.
    Someone in a recent post here or on MacMini.com touched on impedence issues with signals into VGA or DVI ports. The Mac Mini operates on low voltage. Could there be some connection to how strong a signal it produces compared to my old PowerPC with its ATI graphics card?? And just why would that make a difference
    I haven't seem my particular issue addressed in this forum or on MacMini.com
    Thanks for any help
    Mac Mini 1.83 Intel Core Duo 512 Mb Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Emac; 604e PPC with G3 Upgrade & ATI Video Card

    Just finished testing the Mini remotely with the use of the Redstone software recommended by BSteely in a previous post. Fun Stuff.
    I saw the Mini "desktop" on my Emac screen and could control it remotely, even though the mini was connected to the large screen Samsung.
    But the "fix" did not progress from there. When I called Apple for further help they were not able to help me tweak my Mini. Apparently there was nothing to tweak.
    A second level Apple technician finally told me (after a few calls to both Apple support and Samsung) that this Mac Mini is likely not capable of producing a screen image on my large screen Samsung.
    He said the Mini supports "Coherent Displays up to 154 Megahertz and Non Coherent displays up to 135 Megahertz". On his recommendation I checked with Samsung (second tier) and they are not sure exactly what that means. Same here.
    Samsung did reply that the "pixel clock (of this HDTV) is 74.2 Megahertz". Again, too technical for me.
    The latest second tier Apple guy just told me said that my Samsung 43" DLP is probably not compatible with the output capability of my Mac Mini.
    Bottom line
    It's all about the output capabilities of the Mini's "Intel Extreme Graphics GMA
    The Mini's video output is not upgradeable like the other mac which works with this HDTV.

  • Graphics render bug in FCP 6 and 7 - Dare to prove me wrong?

    I have an issue with an HD video that contains red and purple text and graphics in the edit. I've looked for an answer tirelessly online, with friends, and through trial and error for a good 7 hours before giving up. Here's the deal,
    Sequence settings: HD 1440x1080 16:9, 23.98, HDV 1080p24 for editing the canon7d footage that came in - this however doesn't matter because i tested with every setting imaginable including animation raw and ended up with the same results for the graphics problem I'm having (kind of unrelated to the actual footage).
    I need to output this 9 minute edit I have to an HD file 1280x720 for youtube upload. So, it has to be under 2gb (youtube's limit) but for client purposes, it needs to be crisp and great looking as you would imagine.
    I have a bunch of PSDs, each show a different line drawing of a brush. For each one, the line is a different color. For any of the colors that aren't red or purple, they render crisp and wonderful in final cut pro over top the video. However, the graphics that have the lines that are red or purple, come out pixelated and blurry no matter how i try to render them. The only solution that worked was to render and output them with the animation codec. ProRes HQ worked too but not as well. However, this makes a file way too big. Whenever I went from animation to h264 or from FCP to h264, or any other web friendly format, graphics come out way pixelated. It makes me frustrated as to why all the graphics that were exactly the same except not red or purple came out perfectly crisp. Also, why is animation codec the only codec out there (besides uncompressed obviously) that will create clean edges in these red/purple graphics?
    Conclusion: Found that reds and purples are the only colors that seem to be effected when rendering the graphics. Everything else comes out nicely. Animation and pro res codecs aside, any codec making the video small enough for the web (less than 2gb) resulted in the problem of pixelation with the red and purple graphics. Based on extensive research I did online, I was surprised not to find many people posting about the exact same problem. For the issues I did find that seemed related, people concurred that HD nor regular DV video do a good job rendering bright reds or variations of red. Because I found no solutions online or from all the things I tried in the list below
    -re-rendered the PSD's in Final cut pro with variation of sequence setting to see if that would make any difference - it didn't. Tried all kinds of different settings in export for h264, keyframes, max quality, etc. no luck.
    -tried rendering to "Animation/uncompressed" as far through the process as possible. For instance, I outputted a perfectly crisp "Animation" file that was perfect looking. As soon as I re-exported to h264, mpeg4, or sorenson, or any other codec dropping the file size down, all results returned pixelated results for the reds and purple graphics.
    -made sure photoshop settings were all good, even copied and pasted psd into new 1920x1080 project, played with DPI up to 300 to see if it did anything, saved as different formats TIFF, png, eps, layers, flattened, 8-bit, 24-bit, 36-bit, etc., none of the formats worked correctly.
    -outputted my own purple and red graphics and text and rendered in final cut to see if the file had anything to do with it. same problem with my red and purple graphics and text.
    -Tried adding slight moving grain to the graphic in Final cut to try and trick FCP to thinking it was a video instead of a graphic and therefore render it smoothly.
    -consulted with 2 other video editors/media experts, ended up frustrating them as well (and hurting their ego a little since they were sure they could figure it out)
    -Ran the shot and graphic through after effects and premiere pro separately (different video programs) to see if final cut pro was causing the problem, same problem with those programs.
    -tried rendering on a different mac, still the same.
    -Actually upgraded my final cut pro version to the new version (now Final cut studio 3). Ran tests on new version of final cut pro, same exact problem.
    -added black edge to purple graphics to see if that did anything different to the rendering. Didn't help
    -Changed the hue of the graphic to anything other than red or purple. Wouldn't you know...That fixed it.
    Here is a link to the Animation Output of a half second of the edit with a sample red graphic crisp as can be for you to test (12.7mb) -
    http://www.robinsonhope.com/downloads/makeup_animationtest.zip
    Here is a link to view screenshots before and after to show you what rendering does to the graphics.
    http://www.robinsonhope.com/downloads/makeup_ss.jpg
    In case you'd like to try and find a solution, please download the link to the HD animation half-second clip and output to h264 or any other web friendly codec that would show these red graphics clean and not blurry and pixelated. Other rule is after doing the math, a 9 minute video with the compression you choose would need to be under 2gb. This shouldn't be too much of a problem because even a 1280x720 h264 at max quality for a 9min video is still under 2gb.
    The first person to show me that you are truly a FCP guru and can solve this, post a link of your successful solution, I will praise you as genius all over this forum. I will also be eternally grateful. Live in LA? I'll also buy you dinner, Haha. But seriously...

    Welcome to this forum,
    Sorry to hear you so struggling with this issue.
    And I doubt whether I can solve this for you, but I can say a few things.
    The title of this thread is:
    Graphics render bug in FCP 6 and 7 - Dare to prove me wrong?
    I'll prove you are wrong. Or actually you've already proved yourself wrong in your post:
    -Ran the shot and graphic through after effects and premiere pro separately (different video programs) to see if final cut pro was causing the problem, same problem with those programs.
    Seams that I try to annoy you, but I'm not. It's not a joke. The fact that other applications can't handle it as well AND the fact that Animation Codec (Which is pretty lostless) does not have this problem, tells you that the problem is likely the low compression you want OR the footage itself. And I dare say it's BOTH.
    I downloaded your testfile and have opened it in FCP and I can see in the Vectorscope that your color Red is too hot.
    [Click here|http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz356/rienkL/Screenshot2010-04-02at1324 20.png] to see the vectorscope of your picture?
    You also see the small boxes (clockwise)
    Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow. The signal of your picture should stay somewhere between those boxes. You should read [this article|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_scopes.html] (two third on the page) about the vectorscope. Also has a picture with the range to be broadcast safe.
    So back to your picture and your vectorscope. You'll see that just along the right side of the R in the vectorscope there's a peak which goes way out of the range. And that's exactly the color of your graphic.
    I tried isolating that color, reducing the saturation, and then do an export, but that failed. You should adjust that within the PSD's first and then see how exporting goes.
    So now you are thinking: My client wants his own colors! Sure he does. But those colors were probably designed for print, which does have another colorrange. Simple technical story. You're bound to specific saturation. Going over that means troubles....
    And I'm not claiming that your problem will be solved when you adjust this. It is still possible that h264 just doesn't like red too much. Maybe that's on purpose. Our eyes are most less sensitive to red, so that gives the compressor some extra room to compress in the reds (Don't know if this is what compression developers do; just thinking out loud, just an idea...)
    Hope this helps at least a little.

  • What Compressor codec should I use for footage recorded on a Canon T3i, edited on FCP 6, and intended for Vimeo?

    I am looking for help!
    My planned workflow is as follows:
    Footage recorded on Canon Rebel T3i  --->  Edited on Final Cut Pro 6 (sequence compression is apparently H.264 according to the browser)  --->  Compressed with Compressor (ver 3.0.5) in original 1920 x 1080, 24p format  --->  Uploaded to Vimeo
    I am now at the point where I am trying to find a Compressor setting that will create a compressed movie that looks somewhat similar to what I see in the canvas in Final Cut Pro 6.  I have tried using the H.264, Apple ProRes 422(HQ), HD Uncompressed 8-bit, and XDCAM HD 1080p24 settings and in all cases, my movie plays back fine, however, the brightness/exposure seems to be hiked up a few stops and there is a substantial amount of noise in both the blacks and midtones that doesn't appear in FCP's canvas.
    My compressed movie I wish to export is only intended for Vimeo (similar to Youtube).  Is there a different setting I should be trying, or perhaps a way of downloading a more effective or current codec??  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it is very disappointing to see my movie degraded so much from its orginal quality.

    H.264.  But the FCP Legacy (FCP 7 and earlier) Canvas and Viewer aren't color accurate.  Not designed to be. Their purpose is to show you what you are doing, show you the footage so you can make editing decisions. For color accuracy, the ideal way, since this was designed with television and feature editing in mind, is to have an IO device like those AJA.com and DECKLINK.com make, and send the signal to an HDTV or broadcast monitor. 
    Apple has realized that more and more people are editing for the web and computers only, so they made it so that FCX's viewer IS color accurate.  So...what that means is that currently, using what you have, you won't get things to match....they aren't designed to. So you can adjust for what happens when you export.
    But a big issue is that you are editing H.264 in FCP native. FCP doesn't work with H.264 native well, all sorts of potential issues can arise.  Sync issues, quality issues, the correct shot be exported, all sorts of things.  FCP works best with the FCP editing codecs. What are they? They are found in the EASY SETUP list.  But for HD, the most commonly used option is ProRes 422.  There is a BIG problem that FCP Legacy will SEEM like it'll work with H.264 natively just fine...it doens't throw up any warnings. That is bad. Also something Apple fixed with FCX. 
    The fact that you are editing H.264, and trying to export H.264, might also lead to the footage being more off that it would if you edited ProREs 422, and exported H.264.  Note...H.264 is a higher data rate codec, and easier for FCP to work with...but because it has a higher data rate, the file sizes are much higher than the original H.264.  5-6x larger.  FCP 7 did have a way to import Canon 5D, 7D and T2i (needed a hack with the T2i) via Log and Transfer.  But it doesn't work with the T3i...not even with that hack. Because FCP 7 was no longer updated after the T3i came out. It's 4 year old software, discontinued 2 years ago.
    If you want to edit native, you need to look at Adobe Premiere Pro CC. It's interface is more accurate too.

  • FCP Canvas and Viewer

    My FCP canvas and viewer appears to be showing my 16:9 footage in a letterbox format - not the same as usual - normally when I make the canvas full screen the footage will fill the screen - but now it is letter boxed, if you see what I mean!?
    I am using FCP 5.0.4
    Can anyone help please?

    Widescreen mode can mean either letterboxed or anamorphic. Select a clip in the browser (or in the timeline for that matter) and hit command-9. Is the anamorphic check box, checked? If not, your original material is letterboxed and you've either got to live with it, or enlarge your images which will lose an enormous amount of quality. If your clips are anamoprhic, you've got to check the anamorphic check box in your sequence settings, then select all your clips, control click and choose remove attributes:basic motion. Should do the trick.
    This can be avoided by making sure your sequence settings match your clip settings BEFORE you start editing.

  • FCP-X and iDVD 16:9 video squished

    I've read the other posts and apple support suggesting to use QT pro to adjust the video settings. That doesn't fix the problem.
    I have a video shot in anamorphic, edited for PAL anamorphic in FCP-X and dropped into iDVD set up for widescreen PAL and I still get a squished video.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same Problem and the same Opinion.
    What's the Problem to apple to fix it. It's Part of the PAL 16:9 Standard that the Resolution for 16:9-Material is stored in 720x576. With the PixelAspectRatio the players know how to present it in the right Ratio. Theres no need to reencode the Movies, it's just a flag in the container, that has to be set.
    Hey apple, what's the Difficulty changing that. I have a DV-Video in 16:9 that contains the right PixelAspctRatio and confirms the Standard so I will not buy quicktime pro to fix it!!!
    Please, do your job right!

  • Easy Setup and Audio Video Settings (FCP7)

    Hello,
    I am a newbie editor in fcp 7. in fact, I´m newbie on pos production. I´ve been working and editing less than a year (Premiere Pro)
    Now I am using FCP7 (and FCPX) but my question is...in fcp7, why do I need Audio/Video Settings and Easy Setup if
    final cut has open format sequences?
    thx

    Well, strictly speaking on FCP 7 and earlier (since this particular forum is for older FCP...not FCX)...yes, you do.  You need to choose the Easy Setup that matches the footage you are using.  If you have multiple formats, try to convert the footage to a single format.  Don't belive this Apple marketting about "open format sequences."
    There are some exceptions...like you can have ProRes footage, and a ProRes sequence...and also edit in HDV or XDCAM footage in that. IN fact, it's best to edit HDV and XDCAM as ProRes.  Don't have an XDCAM sequence setting and edit ProRes into that...XDCAM is inferior to ProRes.
    Also...don't edit may formats natively.  Meaning H.264, MP4, AVCHD...there are many formats that FCP just doesn't work with properly. FCX will even ask to "optimize" the media...meaning convert to ProRes.  FCP 7 is a different beast than Adobe Premiere Pro. PPro will allow you to edit formats natively...it's designed to do that. FCP 7 is not....and that's a pretty important difference to know. FCP 7 wants media to be in FCP editing codecs before you start...such as ProRes.

  • FCP, Compressor & DVD Studio Pro Settings: Archiving Old Video

    Hi.
    I'm working with FCS2, a Mac Pro, and a Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card that allows me to import uncompressed SD video.
    I bought that card because I have a lot of old SD video, mostly U-Matic and Beta SP, that I want edit someday. I also have some VHS footage (shot in SP mode on a full-size VHS camcorder) that I want to archive to DVD before the tapes turn to dust.
    I can't justify buying a VCR/DVD Recorder combo for this job because I only need to dub 6 hours worth of VHS. And I'm guessing I'll get higher quality with the setup I have.
    Since I'm essentially just dubbing here, what settings in FCP, Compressor and DVDSP do I need to adjust to give me the highest quality dub possible?
    As far as dividing up the video, I was thinking of using 1 hour of VHS to fill each DVD. Is that a good size, or should I go shorter? Would there be a noticeable quality difference if I went down to 45 or even 30 minutes per DVD?
    I'm sure I'll have more questions as you post replies. Thanks for your help!
    Fred

    I agree with David, rent a Beta SP, then the rental place is responsible for it's maintenance so you are ore likely to get a working unit. Better yet, you can rent a new model with fewer hours on it's heads. Make sure your VHS deck's heads are clean. If you own your own 3/4" deck, clean those heads too. If you are not happy with the playback quality rent one of those as well.
    If you are truly looking for best quality, go uncompressed and save it all to a drive, but, to be realistic, how one digitizes the material depends entirely on what format you want to end up with after you do edit it.
    I suggest digitizing using the DV50 codec as a good compromise in compression and file size. Here at NBC everything is digitized for air using DV25 codec and it is generally good enough. I also suggest that DVDs, even data DVDs are an unreliable format for long term storage bceauce of their high failure rate.
    My advice is to save your money and buy a couple of nice Enterprise quality 1TB drives, mirror them and store all your media there. (of course, get smaller drives if there is less material).
    Good Luck!

  • MSI G31M3 and Samsung SyncMaster 943NWX resolution problem

    hi.today i bought a new computer.i.e assembled.i have a MSI G31M3 motherborad and Samsung SyncMaster 943NWX 19" inch monitor.The box in Samsung SyncMaster 943NWX 19" inch monitor says that it has 1440*900 high resolution.I also know that it must have that much max resolution,thats why i bought this monitor.But the problem is that in desktop->setting.There is not any 1440*900 resolution to select.
    First there was resolutions from 800*600 to 2080*XXXi forgot.But there wasn't any 1440*900 resolution to select.Not even in the range of 1440.There was only one 1400 range.Then i installed the driver came with the monitor and now the settings shows only resolution upto 1280*768.
    So can anyone tell me whats going on?I search the net for this problem but has no luck.one guy was says to use Powerstrip tool but i have no luck.Though the powerstrip tools shows that my monitor has 1440*900 max resolution in its info section but the resolution doesn't show up in resoultion select range.So i guess my monitor is correct.
    My question is that is it due to internal graphics that does support this resolution or something else.Please help me to solve this issue.

    thankx a lot "NovJoe".I installed the intel.inf driver provided in the motherboard.I also installed the graphics accelerator/driver came in the CD and also driver downloaded from the intel site.Both look same driver.But no luck.And what do u mean by "intel 945G onboard graphics driver"?I guess  i have intel g31/33 graphic accelerator.do i need to install intel 945G onboard graphics driver as well? I have searched the net but can't find anyone with exact problem.There was one guy with similar problem but there is no solution.
    Do you think this is a driver a problem?May be following link will help u to get some idea

  • Why is it so chaotic to Sync Settings between apps of Adobe CC 2014? (and to transfer settings from CC to CC 2014)

    Although, in general I'm a big fan of the Adobe Products and the CC Idea, I think that some parts of it were not ready for launch.
    The part that mostly disturbs me is the settings syncing / Update. (Or "Seamless Update")
    Concerning the updates:
    I had own workspace in all the CC Adobe Apps, the only CC 2014 App that imported the previous settings in the new app at the first start was Photoshop.
    Indesign made it through the Edit => Migrate previous local settings
    Illustrator by copying the settings files manually
    in Dreamweaver and Flash I had to recreate the workspace manually (which finally took less time then trying  to sync settings.)
    So long for the Seamless update that wasn't so seamless.
    Concerning the settings syncing
    Why could'nt adobe have the settings syncing working the same way in all it's CC 2014 applications? ( File Menu on PC / The Name of the App Menu on Mac => Sync Settings, upload or download settigns; done!)
    Instead (on mac) :
    In Photoshop: Photoshop => my account name => upload and download settings ( and no way to import settings from previous version )
    In Illustrator: Illustrator => my account name => Sync Settings ( and I cannot import settings from the previous version, only from the same version )
    in Indesign: Indesign => my account name => Sync Settings ( and the only CC 2014 App where the "Migrate previous local settings" function is working )
    in Dreamweaver => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
    in Flash => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
    in Premiere Pro => my account name => Sync Settings with the possibility to clear settings and to use settings from a different account
    Appart from that update and syncing chaos, the syncing between two computers simply doesn't seem to work ( at least for me).
    I have a computer at work and a laptop at home and I'd like to have the same workspace in my apps at home as at work for occasional home working.
    I created and configured my custom workspaces on the mac at work and then synced settings (respectively uploaded them in Photoshop). I had cleared all the saved settings from the Creative Cloud online account first.
    I arrived at home, tried to sync settings but no workspace was implemented. (and before you ask, yes i had checked that the workspaces should be synced and that, on the laptop at home, the cloud settings should be applied.)
    After few tryings I gave up and ended up recreating my setings on both machine. Frankly I don't know why the sync settings are for, since they just don't seem to work.
    I really think you should rethink this feature: make it simpler, working THE SAME WAY in all Adobe apps, and, well, just working!
    I'd just like to log into creative cloud an any computer, sync settings, and be able to use my custom created workspace.
    I posted this in the Cloud Forum since, in my opinion, the settings syncing is a cloud matter and not a matter of each app individually.

    The amount of storage that is shown on the box and in Settings are calculated differently - the package uses 1 billion bytes as a gig (i.e. decimal), whereas in Settings it's shown as the binary definition : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
    Also some space has been used for iOS, the built-in app and some space is lost due to formatting.

  • New Mac mini and Samsung Tv

    Dear all,
    A little help please. I have just purchased a mac and mac mini. I would like the I Mac to run as the master and the mac mini to work on the tv downstairs.
    The mac mini works when connected to a monitor however when I try to connect it to my tv my screen is black.
    I am currenlty trying to connect via pc connector lead as there was nothing else in the store so I am connecting via mini dvi adapter to DVI cable to female connector to pc slot in the back of the tv!
    And its not working.
    I have downloaded chicken of the VNC onto the I Mac and have installed some program called Display config X. however whenever I plug it in it doesnt seem to want to play.
    Any thoughts or should I abandon the pc connection on the tv!

    I have a mini connected to my Samsung.
    I have a miniDVI to DVI adapter that came with the computer linked to a DVI to HDMI cable.
    I've since learned you can buy a miniDVI to HDMI cable, thus eliminating the need to the connection, which is probably a good thing.
    In any case, if you can go into the HDMI slot instead of the PC slot, you will likely have better results.
    This is my second Samsung TV. The first one actually had a DVI in to begin with. But it was smaller than my iMac screen, and I needed binoculars to read it from across the room.
    I also had to do an adjustment to get the menu bar to display properly. It was a rescan or something. Search the forums for my name and Samsung and you will find it.

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.
