Few questions from new user of Macs

iSight: I gather that is a built in camera on the iMAc?  Why does it have this special name, rather than just "Camera"  On my iphone I have a "Camera" not an "iSight"  What is the difference?

iSight used to be an external thing you buy for your Mac. I have one actually. They made it internal and kept the name. It had a name because the idea of a camera in your computer used to be new until HP and others copied it.

  • LP7 questions from new user

    Hello,
    I am a composer, producer and engineer working in the Los Angeles area. I've been using Pro Tools and Digital Performer for a long time now, and I'm growing increasingly frustrated with them for MIDI and virtual instruments. I have been testing the Logic Express free trial for the past month, and I am very impressed, especially how efficient the CPU usage is compared to PT and DP. I can really accomplish a lot more, without having to freeze or bounce tracks all the time. As a result, I am seriously considering switching to Logic Pro for my composing / sequencing work.
    During this free trial period, I have been browsing this forum, as well as reading the PDF's for Logic Express and Logic Pro and I have had most of my questions answered that way. However, I have been keeping a list of questions that remain unanswered.
    I will be attending the "Power of 7" demo at RSPE here in L.A. on May 4th. I plan on covering these questions with the rep's there. I would also like some feedback from the users "in the trenches". Should I post my list of questions here? Would anyone mind filling in some of the gaps in the owner's manuals for me?
    Thanks for your time!

    Michael,
    I was in a rush when I responded last. I didn't answer the other questions because I don't know their answers. I was eager to see what the experts say. On this topic, luckily, there are a bunch of very helpful, experienced and intelligent people (as in unicornation) who are here to help- like the guys (not me) who have been answering. I would imagine you'd want to know this, since it's helpful when starting. (the unicornation forum, while stodgier, well... there're a couple of strange posts here once in a while.) (what i think would be great is a forum for multiplatform folk -- like a dp-logic-pt forum.) Or, a translation book. Like mac os for windows folks. (the move is kind of the same thing -- different language, basically you do the same thing-- different vibe)
    So, now hearing what the experts have to say:
    1. General routing: so, compared to DP, this seems to be a weakness. It seems that folks' complains about logic's mixer may be in part due to this. While a little annoying, if comparing to DP, for what's important to me, I don't find this to be a deal breaker. Also, I'd imagine there's a relatively simple work around to achieve what you need. And you mentioned, you'd do more audio in PT.
    I'd like to know more about this. I'll ask when I figure out what I need to ask.
    Here are other things I have found to be cool, when compared with DP:
    1. mute of an individual midi note. It's like the same concept when muting audio, but for a midi note. Never figured why it wasn't available in DP.
    2. multiple tempo tracks ( i haven't used it yet, but seems useful)
    3. oh, here's something that's revolutionized my workflow -
    bounce direct to an aac & add to audio window & itunes & make a full res (24 bit) pcm bounce all with one step. So, in about a minute, with 2 steps (bounce & email) I can send what I am listening to the director/collaborator/friend - bam. This is terrific. DP has an aac option, I just never incorporated it.
    4. i haven't used it yet, but you can bounce music to quicktime video (as in DP, which was wonderful -- ) supposedly, you can also do just the selected by locator section. that's useful.
    5. i really enjoyed & got very fast at using DP's consolidation window. this is very cool. i thought this would be a problem with Logic. However, you can make a window stay in the foreground by selecting option, before you select it. Also there's a stack windows horizontally/vertically -- which can quickly organize it -- but not as fast as consolidation. However, with screensets, which are easy to configure, I figure this is again, is not going to be a problem. I'm using 2 screens now which is helpful in this regard.
    6. it's good to have a very capable, efficient sampler well integrated (with regards to resource management, etc....) I've been getting good results with the exs, using my .gigs + . Also, kontakt 2 runs. A crash with this once in a while.
    7. space designer -- I bought altiverb when i was setting up my new dp system. Figured I wouldn't need space designer. However, altiverb does not run well when I'm running buffer under 256. So, space designer fits this composing-pre mixing stage bill wonderfully.
    8. I like seeing the midi notes in the region view. It's a nice combo of easy region handling + seeing what's inside.
    9. the quantization & region parameter thing -- this is nice as well. I laid down a 2 measure 8th note pulse. Then, painted it across the screen -- this is nice (actually this is the loop function). Then instead, I pressed R-16, and there were bunch of copies of it. Then, in the right places, I quantized the pulse to 1/4 notes, 1/2 notes, whole notes, even triplets -- in such a simple step --
    so, overall -- what i've read seems to be true -- it's a great creation tool
    dp is elegant, and mixer is (may be) more conventional (PT)
    but the learning curve is not that bad -- at times, it's annoying -- but i imagine it's like learning a new language as an adult -- or a new instrument.
    10. so, i like having the region/track parameters. reminds me of my old cubase days.
    11. I have my right click hardwired to mute. Then use option for whatever task i'm currently doing. today, i was working extremely fast selecting, muting, fading/cross fading -- overall view, deeper view -- moving from section to section -- by either simply dragging the cycle bar (which is wonderful) or,
    clicking in new cycle start-stop points (as i used to do in DP) --
    as in DP, I use the period in the number pad to enter a transport location (so this feels just like DP (just quicker) -- then i use the + & - in the number pad to change start & stop times of cycle mode,
    then the / in the number pad to toggle cycle on & off.
    Then, ctrl = to set cycle length to length of region;
    oh, and ctrl-click is hardwired to zoom,
    and ctrl double click on empty arrange goes back a zoom level
    so, with these things i was editing extremely fast.
    My recommendation, which is what I did -- before purchasing, if you are not in a rush, spend the money on the macprovideo.com logic tutorials. these are incredible. martin sitter's explanation style is great. also, go through his & dvorin's text tutorials. do this before you purchase -- if you feel you need more hands on.
    but let me be honest, i was incredibly excited to see things done in logic, and then to do them myself, and to be up to speed super fast
    and, as i said earlier, my intent is to master one -- 'cause it's too complicated (for me) to master several --
    anyway --
    i still believe pro tools is elegant,
    as is DP
    and i miss working in both.
    i would like to work in all --
    but, fancy PT does not make sense for me, & i'm not pro enough to require it's compatibility requirement --
    before logic, i was looking for something that was dp, pt, & live -- but, 1st, the easiest to create on -- it's possible logic may be it
    but, if my biggest reason to move to logic was due to a feeling of sluggishness in DP, that can be addressed by either farming out VI chores to external computers -- which, in the end, (for me) has to be done in logic as well (i'll explain shortly) or getting a newer computer more often --
    so, in the end, i guess, it depends which simply feels best for what's most important
    so, my original reason to move to logic was 'cause it could handle more in one box -- which seems to approximate the fancy PT approach of one session file/folder for everything -- quick recall -- this is incredibly helpful when time is limited, or you have to put something on the backburner, etc.... And, this is most important to me.
    However, loading the large sample libraries in a Logic file becomes a real chore -- 'cause load up times are so long. now, i am being incredibly spoiled - of course. But, there's something convenient about having another computer(s) deal with sampling (& loading) so, you can switch between songs, & not get bogged down as quickly. Also, I have not tried to optimize my workflow yet. And, I was using at one point almost all of my 4.5 G of RAM, using pretty high quality libraries.
    Oh, i forgot to mention, when i 1st got logic express, i kept slamming in altiverbs- i had a little DP project where i was using 7 of them, inefficiently + some MW eq & comps.
    Well, I got to 20 altiverbs in Logic, same system -- before it began coughing & still navigating & saving were incredibly responsive.
    Also, i enjoy "file save as" while playing -- DP couldn't do this.
    And, at 1st, i found logic channel eq to be annoying to deal with, compared with DP MW eq -- but, i got the hang of it & enjoy it.
    Oh yes, automation -- it's fast & easy. I read about problems with this. I haven't experienced them yet. It's very fast. There's not a bunch of tools to do what you need to do -- you just kind of do it (it's more than that), but meaning, what you want to do can be accomplished with what seems to be fewer clicks.
    I miss the following in DP: the ability to type in a value - for automation for example.
    Oh, coming from DP, check out the Event Float (options window, or opt e). I liked how DP displayed and manipulated this info; it's mostly (if not all) available in logic -- i've got to figure this out.
    So, I'm not as experienced and aware of what Logic can do as the experts here who have been very helpful to me, but I hope this is somewhat helpful.
    I tried because I was in a similar situation as yours; except, I did not have as much time invested in DP as you have. This complicates your decision more, I believe.
    Oh, and basically everything that's in the logic pro book tutorial (dvorin) is not in express -- so, it's ok to judge the basics of logic with express -- but, it's not enough to really judge it.
    i guess, it is a $1000 question.
    so, i know i'm wordy -- & not very informative, & i am unable to answer the 10 questions -- but, i was trying to address it from a recent dp -> logic perspective.
    a yoga teacher asked me if i read thriller novels; my wife laughed & uncomfortably said, "uh, he doesn't read books. he reads manuals, textbooks, and gear mags." well, i'm currently happily not subscribed to any gear **** mags -- they're great -- just figured, now i got to get into what i have -- & not look around anymore. but of course, i've been seeing what the reaction to dp5 is. seems that's is possible that they've done something that's got the snappy thing done -- oy vey. (& the audio window enhancement, with live elastic audio - like functions, & folders, & a basic sampler, and possibly audio instrument like channels, and i wonder how they're freeze is doing.) Maybe I am insane. Not much more than others here. Which is why I stop by. Kind of 12-stepish.

  • Buying a MacBook - A few questions from Windows user

    I've worked in the IT industry since DOS and Windows 1 appeared. Built my first 8Mhz PC from scratch, and generally followed the path of the "Dark Side" for most of my computing life, without any reason for change. Until last year...
    While my job dictates that I must understand and support Microsoft environments, I'm finding at home OSX may suit my needs better than Vista for my day-to-day laptop.
    At home I have a couple of PC's (XPMCE and Vista Home Premium) holding media (which stream to PSP's and XBox 360's etc.), a wireless and wired network, a network printer. I'm running Vista 64U on my main PC (running is a loose term for Vista), and use an IBM laptop running Vista 32U for day-to-day surfing, photo editing, media playing and document writing.
    (phew - intro over!)
    I'm thinking of buying a 2.2GHz MacBook (1GB/120GB/SuperDrive) to replace my laptop but have a few worries (apart from the obvious interface familiarity).
    - Spec says the Intel graphics is 144Mb shared. In a Windows world shared RAM is a bad thing. Should I be thinking of upping the ram to 2Gb if I want to use things like Photoshop for image editing? Or should I be considering a MBP?
    - Media playback - As I use an XBox 360 as a media extender - will the MB handle my primarily MS based media files, and stream them from my servers? I notice VideoLAN is on OSX, which is what I use on my PC's.
    - No work and all play - what Office suite replacements are recommended? I notice Open Office is available for OSX, is it as good as it's Windows counterpart?
    Advice, opinions etc. all appreciated. I'm heading over to the 101 documents to brush up on my Mac lingo.
    Horness

    Greetings!
    As you said, the graphics shares ram. And yes, that is not the best. You should definetly think about upgrading to 2GB of ram, especially if you are going to be running Parallels or Photoshop. I have 2GB in my macbook, and while running Parallels, I can max it out. OS X uses the extra ram nicely, and even in normal usage I usually have about 1.25 filled. So, go for 2GB. With ram prices nowdays, you can get a 2x1GB set off of newegg.com and pay less than Apple's prices.
    The Macbook vs. Macbook Pro debate is always going to exist. I find my macbook to be enough, but if you're looking into gaming even the tiniest amount, it isn't going to suffice. For Photoshop, you shouldn't have any problems with a macbook, as long as you have enough Ram.
    About media playback: I'm not that familiar with what you're talking about, however, OS X can read NTFS, so you can access any shared files over the network.
    About Openoffice: I use Neooffice, which is a modified Openoffice. As far as I know, it's as good as the windows counterpart.
    Have fun with your new toy when you buy it!

  • Few questions from new owner

    Hi all.
    not been on for a while but im back now its upgrade time.
    had my previous 9800 torch for 3 years and it was starting to show its age so i went for an upgrade.
    first got a samsung s4 on saturday and within an hour put it back in its box and took it back to vodafone.
    reason im so used to a real keyboard. so i changed it for a Q10
    it wasnt the best move as im blind in one eye and the smaller screen is a bit of a strain. managed to enlarge text so things are on the right track.
    questions i need advice on this time is:
    1) how can i extend the ring when a call is coming in as ive only had 2 calls so far. the first time it rang 4 times and then went to answer phone. today it rang once and went to answer phone. on my torch i had it set to 6 rings but so far cannot find how to change it on the Q10
    2) how can i change the background colour of the callender. default is black and im so used to white background on the torch. also for some reason only birthdays transfered across using vodafones little red box. no appointments,meetings or anything else i had on weekly repeat. instead of entering one by one ive started adding them into yahoo callender which are syncing to the phone but now yahoo callender has started crashing with problems. will get there one day.
    3) how do i delete contacs from BBM as the only option i can find is clear chat.
    4) why the heck did they remove the back button and the scroll.
    5) i didnt go for 4G even though its only £5 a month more. is it really worth it. what will it speed up. if its just web brousing then i wont bother as i use a computer for that.
    thanks in advance
    Jim

    [quote]Barrery drain: Try to switch off the WiFi overnight (or when you don't need it). Helps a lot.
    Enjoy your Q10,
    Mako[/quote]
    thanks Mako
    not used the wifi at all so its not that. thanks anyway.
    [quote]For question 1 this must be an operator setting (not phone to my knowledge). At least this is the case in my country
    For question 2 you can do it in the app settings of calendar and contacts since the 10.2 update
    For question 3 ???
    For question 4 it is a clear choice made by BB (related to the new OS10 interface/gestures and touchscreen of Z10)
     For question 5 yes 4G is really a blast compared to 3G[/quote]
    thanks Messagepads.
    will get onto vodafone about rings. sure it was on the handset for the torch but of course new OS so different.
    sure i updated when i got the phone on sunday but cant see any options. will double check it loaded properly as i had to connect to computer to download it and every few seconds the connection would disconnect. it said failed to download but then rebooted and then said sucessfull.
    BBM i not that important as most people use whats app now.
    i will still pass on 4G for now but may upgrade in the future.
    thanks for the replys.

  • I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community. My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community only started to use this PC a few weeks ago.
    My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    In order to resolve the issue if it occurs again, more info would be helpful as to what occurred prior to the "hang." One potential fix would be to try a Safe Boot:
    After the Mac is completely shut down, push the power button and immediately after the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    There should be a message that says "SafeBoot." After the Mac is completely booted, try restarting and see if the issue is gone.

  • How do I go about setting up my new wireless all-in-one Epson XP-215 printer to my MacBook Pro? The system is not automatically detecting the printer ad the furthest I get is "System" keychain user and pswd but I am a new user to Mac.

    I am a new user to Mac and trying to set up an Epson XP-215 All-in-One printer without any success. The Mac Book Pro is not recogising the Printer automatically and when following the instructions to add the printer, it gets as far as a display box for teh user and password for "System" Keychain but I am not sure what info to add there...
    The printer is meant to have a function calle dAir Print also that is meant to be used for Mac but I cannot figure out any of this! Why would the MacBook Pro not automatically pic up the printer? Please help...

    Hi Amanda,
    Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
    I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
    Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

  • Can't log new user onto Mac Mini Server

    I can't log a new user into Mac Mini server.  Have added the user to the Workgroup Manager, and am now trying to use the password created there for log-in on user computer. Any advice?

    Do you have Server Access Control Lists (SACLs) configured?  If so, you will need to add this new user to the appropriate SACLs before it can connect.  As an example, when I create new users, I need to add them to the File Sharing SACL or they never see any available shares on the server.

  • Few questions from a new user

    Hi Guys
    I've had my 3gs 16GB for about a week now. I am absolutely loving it, but I have a few questions.
    I am completely new to apple products. I had never used itunes before I bought my phone.
    First question is about the battery. I know this has been greatly discussed and I have searched through the forums and have found just about all of the answers I was looking for, so this is more of a comment than a question. I was a little worried about all the issues people are having with their battery life, so I did a few tests. I am pretty happy with the results. I have the following settings:
    wifi - on
    notifications - on
    brightness - ~40%
    bluetooth - off
    3G - on
    push - off
    fetch data - hourly
    After 48 hours the battery is at 10%. Usage is at 5 hours which included mostly internet browsing on wifi, about 20 sms messages, and about 10 minutes of calls. This is about what I was expecting. The only question I have about the battery is about charging. I am going to charge it daily and once a month fully drain and recharge. I haven't found out if it is ok to leave it plugged in after it has fully charged. Do I need to take it of the charger when it is fully charged, or does the battery shut off and just use the external power source? Ideally I would like to charge before I go to bed and take it off the charger when I wake up.
    Next question is mainly about accessories. I would like a good case that is minimal, but still providing protection from scratches. Are there any good recommendations or is it just kinda personal preference. Also, has anyone tried some of the screen protectors on the market? Can you tell that they are there, or do they give you any problems with the "touch" and "feel" of the screen?
    Thanks

    I don't use a protective case on my iPhone has I think it spoils the look of it. Instead I have a leather case that provides protection from the screen getting scratched and can be easily taken out when I need to use the iPhone.
    The case I got has a soft velveteen interior which protects the screen from scratches. It wasn't cheap (£25) but it is well made and is lovely soft leather, and you can tell it will last.
    Here's the link to it:
    http://www.knomobags.com/eshop/knomo_product.asp?SS=5&C=84&CA=227&P=394
    I have read though that some screen protectors can interfere with the photo sensors on the iPhone (there the 3 little dots that you can see to the left of the earpiece) whereby the screen will remain on or off when it shouldn't be.

  • A few questions from a prospective GarageBand user...

    My sister got a new Mac last year, and I love messing around on garageband, but I had a few questions.
    I have only recently started to mess around with the non software instruments (i.e. playing an instrument or singing into the microphone that is built into the computer)...I was wondering, is there any way to hook up a better mic to the computer so that I could get better sound quality??
    Also, instead of using the keys on my computer, is there any way I could buy a synthesizer at a place like best buy and hook it up to the computer and play it with Garagebad??? Would I be able to use all the "software" sounds that come with the synthesizer as well as the ones on the computer? Could it hook straight up to the computer, or would I have to use a microphone to get the sound off the synthesizer??
    Thanks for the help!!

    I need a "controller" keyboard in order to play with garage band
    a controller to record MIDI (play GB's instruments), if you want to use GB like a tape recorder you could record the audio from a synth (keyboard) into GB
    I can't plug in an electronic drum kit that I physically use drum sticks to hit
    if it's a MIDI controller drum kit, than you should be able to do so with a MIDI interface. if not, like above, you could use GB liek a tape recorder and plug an audio out of the kit into the Line-In on hte mac.
    playing the guitar on garage band as one of the external instruments, what is the best way to do it??
    use an audio interface:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#interfaces
    some people find pugging a guitar directly into the mac, though most do not:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#pluginguitar
    (you can certainly try, it's nearly free, so why not)
    Would I have to buy a good external microphone and just put it in front of the amplifier that the guitar is plugged into to get the best sound??
    that's the way i do it, and to really capture that amp sound, I think it's best, though it's a little more complicated because you can't really plug a mic into a mac, again you need an interface/preamp

  • A few questions from someone new to Aperture (and DSLR photography)

    Hi - I have just got my first DSLR camera (A Nikon D3000) and am trying out Aperture 3. I had a few questions which aren't all just necessarily Aperture related:
    I have imported my library from iPhoto, however now all my albums are in alphabetical order, rather than date created. I only seem to have the option to arrange my albums by, "Kind", "Name" or "Manual". Any idea how I restore the date created order?
    This may be too large a subject for here (I should probably buy a book on the subject), however JPEG, NEF and TIFF - I am shooting in raw mode which is generating NEF files. I had tried RAW+JPEG, but the basic JPEG this creates is really quite poor. The NEF files are generally around 7-12Mb. If I open them for editing in Photoshop, a TIFF file is generated in Aperture which looks to be over 8x the size of the original raw file, sometime over 100Mb. I then seem to be able to save it back as a JPEG at pretty much maximum quality which results in a file slightly smaller than the original raw file. Is it necessary to keep the large TIFF files once I've created a jpeg? Am I best off just keeping the finished jpeg and the original raw file in case I want to make changes?
    When publishing to flickr, It would be good to be able to just publish the latest versions of all photos in an album. ie not the same photo in tiff, nef and jpg format. Is there an easy way to do this, or is it a case of manually picking each one?
    Also - When uploading NEF files to flickr it would appear to convert them to jpg, which is kind of good I suppose, but does anyone know what level of quality the jpegs created are? Am I best off converting them to jpeg myself first and then uploading? If I did this then my albums would be full of duplicates in different formats, which leads back to my previous question about uploading just one version of each. That may be a question for the flickr forum...

    You have jumped into the deep end with both feet.
    With Aperture running select the single the Browser and you will find the sort controls under the Mobileme to New Smart Album icons depending on how stretched out you have the Inspector panel. There is the ability to sort by just about every parameter there either ascending or descending.
    Can Aperture not convert your NEF files? You dont have to have Tiff files at all. See your Preferences regarding External Editor. How much storage space and your archiving requirements will influence your decision about retaining Tiff files.
    I know nothing about Flickr but assume you will have to choose your own images. I doubt a Smart Album can select exactly what you need.
    When uploading files online galleries generally optimise the images. You are wasting your time uploading massive Tiffs IMHO. Most web services work with jpegs I understand. Consult the Flickr help and support for their requirements and advice.
    Enjoy your new hobby.

    Whether you have the room to save Tiff files as well as Raw files will probably decide whether you keep them or not.

  • Few Questions From A New

    what's up? new creative user, just jumped on board in april with a Muvo Micro N200 GB and bought my little sis a 256 Muvo TX FM. I just have a few questions for the experienced users.
    . What's the point of the Zen Micro? Spend 80 bucks on a 5 GB player when you can buy a 20GB player for around 200 (Zen Xtra), what sense does it make?
    2. Why doesn't the zen touch come in 60GB capacity like the XTRA?
    3. Why is the Touch soo much more expensi've than the Xtra?
    4. Why are people still buying ipods when creative is >>> the ipod in almost every way? Show me an ipod with 20 gigs that can hold 0,000 songs, FM radio, voice recorder, and with a 24 hour battery life.
    5. why is Cnet.com sooo biased towards the ipod?
    6. WHERE is the zen sleek available? I checked amazon.com - not there.
    7. what's the difference between the muvo micro n200 and the zen nano plus that I've seen in walmart? features are the same.
    8. Why doesn't creative include some REAL headphones with their mp3 players instead of those pieces of feces that they come with now? After spending 300 for a 40 gig zen touch, I deserve some decent headphones!
    dang, didn't realize I had soo many questions.

    Okay, let me give this a try:
    . Simple - the Micro is smaller. For many folks, convenience and portability are more important than capacity. Try fitting an Xtra in your front pocket.
    2. Again, it's a size issue. The Touch uses a single-platter .8 inch dri've. In any player the bulk of the space is taken up by the dri've and the battery. bigger dri've=bigger player. The Touch was designed to compete with the itty-bitty Ipod.
    3. The Touch is a newer model that incorporates the whole "touch" interface. Newer things are almost always more expensi've.
    8. No company provides decent headphones with their player. Have you ever heard Apple's headphones? Part of this is cost, and part of it is that for many people, especially audiophiles, headphone choice is very personal. It is akin to why most bikes don't come with pedals.

  • Few Questeions from New Nokia N73 M user

    Hi, 
    I have few questions as i just purchased a new Nokia N73 Music Edition.
    1. How do i lock my key pad. Earlier i had Nokia 6300 in which the key pad got locked automatically. I could unlock when i wanted to use the phone.
    2. How do i set up a image for a contact which will show full image (like in Nokia 6300) instead of thumbnail in N73
    3. I want to setup individual ring tones for each contact instead of same one for all. Could not find a way any where.
    4. What is the maximum size of a clip i can play. The other day i tried playing a movie of Real Player format of size 150 MB which did not play.
    5. How do i get the Icons of my choice on the screen instead of the ones given by Nokia
    6. How do i inclrease the performace of the Phone. This looks and works slower than my earlier nokia phones.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Ramgopal
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     1. Left menu button then *, same to unlock
    2. You'll need a third party application for that - N73 defaults to a thumbnail
    3. Not sure you can ....
    4. That'll be an issue with realplayer - I've had full movies (Divx format) on the N73.
    5. Can't change the icons
    6. Update the firmware - if you're phone is on pre v4 firmware, then update it with NSU - type in *#0000# at the standby screen to check your firmware revision.
