File sizes for Apple photo book service

If I use Apple print services to print a photo book, will they accept TIFF-16 bit photo files?

If you create a photo book and use 16-bit tiffs, these will be converted in the pdf file, that is sent to Apple, so it should not matter.
But you can try for yourself. Just create a dummy book, include some fo your 16-bit tiff, click "buy book" and on the next page select "Preview Book".
Then inspect the preview pdf-that will be created - when I tried this with a book that contained several gigantic 16-bit tiffs (each 200 MB) the resulting book had only 40 MB. So the tiffs had been compressed considerably.

Ideal file size for photos

If I am making photo albums in iWeb, what is the ideal file size for the photo file?
My camera now is 7 megapixel, so the original file sizes are about 3 MB, obviously that'll be very slow to load.
To what file size should I save it to make it load at a reasonable speed and still have a reasonable quality? 500 KB? 200 KB?
In case this is a factor, the typical album I make would have about 40 - 50 photos.
Also, what are the best ways to batch converts -- making a group of photos 500 KB instead of 3 MB? I know a few time-consuming ways (ie. individually resaving the files) or using a thumbnail-making program (have used a program called Thumbs Up).
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

If you are importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iWeb, they will be scaled down to a max dimension of 800x600. If you are using a photo template page or making a gallery page using the following method...
http://www.mac.com/web/en/Blog/013C4180-4787-4847-BAAB-319222AFC652.html
...iWeb will also make your thumbnails for you automatically.
For all your other freeform pages that you might make, it is always a good idea to size your photos down to their usage size. A good rule of thumb is to consider the width of your page, which by default is 700px. Then divide it out by how many photos across you expect to have roughly. So 3 photos across 700 pixels means that the photos should be scaled to roughly 233 pixels wide maximum. Just a rough approximation is fine.
The reason I recommend doing this is that if you drop in a 2500 pixel wide image into iWeb directly, and you only plan on using it as a 233 pixel wide image on the page... iWeb will do a fine job of scaling the photo down to size BUT it will also save the full resolution photo as part of your web page....not to use, but just for safe keeping. And if you ever discover the RSS feed on your website, you will see that iWeb makes all of these high resolution photos available for download, too! So beware if you value your original work! Don't feed them directly to iWeb.

Maximum bitrate and size for Apple TV3

Hello,
how much is maximum bitrate and file size for Apple TV3 homesharing? I transfared some bluray, but it lags. Im streaming via cabble.

No official answer on this but specs say:
Video Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
AppleTV 2/3 have less than 8GB of memory to buffer movies but there are movies over 8GB and I've certainly streamed larger than that.
What lags? Playback? Stuttery display?

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Square photos in apple photo books

I have a lot of square photos, which I love, due to instagram and other photo editing apps. I'd like to include them in my Apple photo books, but Apple doesn't seem to allow square photos. It crops the photos into rectangles. Is there a way to include square photos in their full frame in Apple photo books?

Thank you so much!!!!! That solved it for me!
For others of you who may have this question, you right click (2 finger click) on the photo once its placed in the book and select "fit photo to frame size." There is now just white space to the right and left of the photo.
Thank you, Larry!

.Mac account needed to use iphoto's photo book service?

No
Just an Apple ID

Online apple photo book purchase

I'm having trouble purchasing an apple photo book on line. I select "buy", then it "assembles" ok, but gets hung on "upload". I've tried to repeat the process in safe mode but no luck. Any advice?

Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
You can then have the preview PDF printed by any service that can print form PDFs - googe will give you some options - one (simply found on Google - not tested nor recommended) is http://www.prestophoto.com/help/Apple+iPhoto+Book+Printing

How do I find out the file size of my photos, and change them to the size

This will sound inane, but I cannot figure out where to find the file size of my photos in iPhoto. I need a jpeg of a certain file size and image size for my blog background, but can't figure out how to even start.

If the limited quality options do not get you the file size you need export the full size image files to a folder on your Desktop and use Resize! to batch resize the image dimensions and file size (jpeg compression level) to what you need.
Click to view full size
With Resize! you can fine tune the pixel dimensions and file size.

Is there a file size limitation to using this service?

I am working on a large PDF file (26 mb) and I need to re-size the original and mess with the margins. I don't beleive there is an easy way to do this in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro. It sounds like I have to convert the file back to a Word document, do the adjustments there and then produce a new PDF. I have two questions:
Is there a file size limitation to using this service?
Will a PDF to Word doc. conversion mantain the format of the orginal PDF?
Thanks
Tim

Good day Tim,
There is a 100MB file size limitation for submitting files to the ExportPDF service. As for the quality of the conversion, from our FAQ entitled Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting information?:
Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information, but the quality of your Word or Excel document depends on the quality of the PDF file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally authored in Microsoft Word or Excel and converted to PDF using the PDFMaker functionality of Adobe Acrobat®, your PDF file contains a rich set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multi-column text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes.
If your PDF file was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.
Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Kind regards,
David

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
As suggested above I assume this is a microsoft issue? It has been discussed here and other forums for quite some time. I never have seen a fix? I wish when we received errors of this nature microsoft would tell us what they were. How is this related to superfetch? What is superfetch? Why would superfetch have changed?
BY THE WAY.... Superfetch is on(started) is on automatic and logs on as local system. So this is not the cause of my issue. Also what is readyboot? Does the average computer really know what these programs/services or unique microsoft words/terms are?

Can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac

i have ripped a lot of my cds to itunes on my MBA. i used the aac high quality setting.
is there a way that i can upload lower quality/smaller size versions of the songs that i will put on my new iphone ?
Q2: once i rip cd into itunes (on my MBA)... is there an easy way I can later decide to save space and re encode them at 128 instead of 256 (for example).
i notice that you cant just willy nilly copy/delete from the itunes media folder because itunes doesnt seem to 'refresh' with the new files.
thx!

1. the ONLY place i see where you can set the sampling rate,etc is under preferences/general/'when a cd is inserted".... am i missing something?
No.
2. when i want to add an existing mp3 file (from outside the apple realm) , i am using itunes "add to library" and browsing to some mp3 file(s) . it doesnt give me a option to convert it to an m4a format... it seems to just add it to the itunes library without changing the mp3 file .... do i have any option here?
You don't need to convert formats and I would not recommend you do so. You will simply lose quality.
To answer your original question...
can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac
If you want smaller files on the iPhone, see my post above which converts them when syncing to theiPhone.
If you really want to convert when adding songs to iTunes...
iTunes prefs > General - Import settings as you want.
Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and choose File > Create New Version > Convert AAC (or what your settings are in previous step).
This will convert and add the file instead of adding the file then converting and having 2 of the same song in iTunes.

How do I reduce MB size for jpg photos?

How do I reduce the MB size for a group of photos I took. I want to save these reduced photos and send them to a client.

IF you want to reduce just the file size and not necessarily the dimensional size...
Create an action to "Save for Web", and run a batch using that action.
I'll show it on a Mac but it's the same for Windows.
1. Open one photo.
2. In the Actions panel click the menu selector and choose "New Action.
3. Name the action and click "Record".
4. Press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S to Save for Web (Alt+Cmd+Shift+S on Mac).
5. Select a save destination and then close the file, selecting "Do Not Save" when you do so.
6. Press the Stop button.
7. Click File>Automate>Batch.
8. Choose the parameters for the batch and click "OK"
It'll reduce the file size of the photos you chose.

Fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting

Finally a fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting. Basically I got this from someone else in these forums and it worked. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Data\Apple and delete any file in there that says Apple Mobile Device Services (I understand these are cached files...I had about 8 files to delete). Next go to your control panel, click on Add/Delete programs, find Apple Mobile Device Support and delete (remove) it. Once this is all done do not reboot, rather open itunes and go to Help menu /Check for Updates and update to the latest version. This will install the latest version of iTunes and also a new version of Apple Mobile Device Services. Next reboot and it should work for many of you...it did for me. Open iTunes and plug in your device...good luck. I wrote this from memory so if some of the phrases don't match exactly what you see I apologize. Also, this worked for me on a Windows XP computer.

Thanks for posting this, my iTunes randomly started saying the Apple Mobile Device was stopped, and apple's solutions didn't help. I hope this one will, but what do I do if I have the latest iTunes, so it doesn't update? Wait till they come out with an update? It says I need to run the iTunes installer, but I can't find that. Please help, this is really annoying me...=(

Can I pay for a Photo Book using my iTunes account?

I'm trying to pay for a photo book using my iTunes account balance. The process seems to take me to a Credit Card input field only!

Greetings,
Not an iTunes Gift Card I'm afraid:
"iTunes gift certificates can be used to purchase movies, TV shows, music and music videos, as well as audiobooks from the iTunes Store." http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2737
For physical items from Apple you would want an "Apple Gift Card" (Which are only for physical items from the Apple Online Store): http://store.apple.com/us/personalize/apple?product=MA210LL/C
