First day with Aperture - comments.

OK, LONG time Apple user.
I use Final Cut HD so I am somewhat used to the whole "pro" app thing and really like it. iLife user since the first ver.
Using Aperture on my main system PB G4 15" w/ 20" Cinema.
Also have an iMac G4 and G5, but it will not run on those.
Main camera is a Nikon D50 w/ 18-200VR lens.
I had grown tired of iPhoto. Works well for very basic tasks.
Aperture is fast enough on my system for non RAW images.
It gets pokey with RAW, so I can shoot in Fine JPG no problem for my needs.
I can really get organized and pick, sort, and manage photo shoots very well.
Pleased with that.
I am a little disappointed that Aperture will not load my iPhoto 6.0.4 library (7K images), but the fix I understand and will do tomorrow. It is documented here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303438
My main Q is will 1.1 allow iWeb to work without Aperture2iLife?
I have REALLY gotten into iWeb and love it. Otherwise I will have to run two libraries or just maybe sell this package I bought today and stay with iPhoto (UGH)
Best,

Re, the 18-200VR...
I'm an idiot who "had" to have it for a trip last
week and got it from Circuit City within 24 hrs. But
paid through the nose. Happy with it though.
Thanks for the advice, I will hold on for a few more
days until the 1.1 update, but I must have a seamless
solution from Aperture to iWeb, although I am tired
of iPhoto. I must say that on my very meager system
Aperture is FASTER than iPhoto for Fine JPG images...
Well, I am not sure how satisfied you will be with the upcoming iWeb integration I saw, it kind of depends on what you are doing.
At PMA Apple has four automator actions that basically sent a selected set of images to the various iLife apps - one of them was iWeb. So if by "seemless" you mean you just click a button and images appear in iWeb, then you might be satisfied.
These automator actions will not be released as part of 1.1 though, they will be released about the same time at Automator World.
I am curious what you are doing within iWeb with the images you get from iPhoto. Mostly galleries? Photo blogs? Other things? I've creating my whole site using iWeb so far as it's nice for just throwing decent looking stuff together. I was curious what your plans were for it and why Aperture galleries might not be enough for you.

First Day With Adobe SpeedGrade CC with Direct Link

I thought it would be interesting to share my first day using the new Adobe SpeedGrade CC with everyone. Most would be embarrassed to do this, not me.
This is NOT a tutorial, but more of a way to show you what I am struggling with and what I like. So if you are having your first day with this program you might run in to similar items.
Perhaps even a product manager from Adobe might watch this and help him what they should work on next.
Issues I had:
Where are the Curves adjustments?
How do I sharpen an image?
Can you use the tracker backwards?
Why didn’t my track work?
Playback at 10fps (not real time with my Monster Computer)
How do you blend layers?
How do you zoom into the timeline?
Things I love:
Doesn’t crash like Resolve
DIRECT LINK!!!! Love it!
2 up and 3 up for shot matching.
No more XML and EDL!!!!

Dave,
I'm basically a noob here too ... only been working with this for what, 5 months?
Yea ... would LOVE the option to switch to a curves-based control, one each for luminosity/R-G-B at the least. I've put in a feature-request for that, as have apparently some others. Maybe next year in ... oh well.
Also ... you might have noted, there's no skin line in the vectorscope! Ridiculous, and that's ALSO been feature-requested by people ... again, maybe next year in ... oh well.
Still ... but dang this program does work fast in concert with P-Pro as your NLE. One bit of advice. In a P-Pro/Sg/Ae workflow, the link from/to P-Pro and Speedgrade works perfectly well both ways. HOWEVER ... your Sg grades do not come into Ae if you send the project from P-Pro to AfterEffects. Now ... if you save your P-Pro projects with it's Sg grades ... then open Ae and use its Dynamic Link feature to pull a P-Pro project into Ae, your grades from Sg come in just fine thank you.
And anything you do in Ae comes into Sg on a different layer that you aren't allowed to 'touch', so you can do fx work afore grading and see how the footage looks including the fx, but you can't touch the fx layer of the timeline (other than to turn on/off visibility in the monitor) to do anything to it.
Still ... easy workarounds, NO time to transcode/export/import ... glory hallelujah!

Mac App Store not working - first day with new MacBook Pro

Hi guys,
I received a new MacBook Pro 13 inch with retina display today and have been working on it this evening but I have a problem: My app store won't open.
It was fine earlier - I downloaded both textwrangler and notepad - but now, whenever I click on the icon in the dock it bounces for a few seconds before simply showing a blank screen.
I have uninstalled my downloads from the day in the hope that it would prove to be a fix but nothing has happened. I live in the UK so it's too late for me to ring the store - it's past 10pm here - but I was hoping somebody could help me out!
Also - My iTunes doesn't work - whenever I try to purchase an album or listen to any music an error message pops up reading 'an unknown error occurred.' I'm not sure if the two problems are linked...
Any help will be greatly, and gladly, appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Micro scratches on the back of the phone? My first day with the phone and have scratches

So I picked up a Z3 at T mobile this morning. After reading online about the phone I must say I am happy so far ..besides one thing. A huge bummer at that!
All the marketing info says the back glass is scratch resistant. I have no idea how but at the end of day one I have mutiple micro scratches on the back glass. T movile only sells the black phone and they are noticable with the right angle. I can imagine on the white or copper it would be less noticable. Anyways ..Is this problem other users have had? I never used cases with my phone and have never had problmes with scratches. At this point I'm considering a case if I can find one I like and going to look for protector for the back.
I have no idea how I could of made the small scratches. I put my pone in a empty pocket. And have not dropped it. I used it on table at work durning lunch. Flat surface. Maybe.. maybe it had suger or slat particles on it. . but nothing noticable. I love this phone it's very attractive and I like the hardware. I just can believe it could be so fragile.

Sorry to hear that, you should contact Tmobile or Xperia care directly

Disappointing first day with Apple Extreme

Hey there,
I purchased an Apple Extreme Gigabit 2009 edition to get a good wireless solution for my mac-filled home network. I set it up, and I'm extremely worried about the signal strength... iStumbler shows 48% signal on the 2.4ghz band and 35% (!!!) signal on the 5ghz from the next room away from the router, equally ridiculously slow internet speeds.
I connected up my 5-year old NETGEAR 54mbps g access point and got a far more satisfactory response - close to the speed i should be getting.
Anybody have any ideas by any chance? I've tried changing the channels but no go.. I also find that I can't set it to 802.11n only (5ghz) in Airport Utility, and forces mixed-mode (2ghz and 5ghz) - seems apple have removed the option!!!
I really do want this to work, so i'd really appreciate any help!

Thanks for your reply!
Sorry bout not explaining properly. What I meant was is that in most pictures that I've seen of the Airport utility, it allows the user to operate solely in the backwards-compatible 2.4ghz frequency, or it allows for the creation of a separate 2.4ghz ssid and a separate 5ghz ssid, but not the move to a solely "802.1n only (5ghz)" frequency. I think that this may help the horrendous signal strengths that I seem to be getting.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the screenshot below, I only have 2 quite unhelpful options available on my airport utility (7.4.2 firmware AE and newest Airport Utility that came with it):
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4359/picture1tbb.png
Even then though... Isn't it still a little strange to be getting such low signal strength for a 5ghz ssid in the next room, as well as a far lower strength for even the 2.4ghz ssid compared with my old netgear access point..

First day with Icloud photo stream; so many duplicate photos?

Noob here! Just got my Ipad, Iphone and Mac on Icloud. I had to transfer many pics from windows (after much frustration trying to get my icloud working in windows I just copied them to a memory stick) and in the process have many duplicate photos in photo stream and probably a whole lot of other places. Is there any way I can scan for duplicates?
Thanks for reading this

You can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto Applescript to Remove Duplicates - free
I agree with Larry on iPhoto Library Manager.

I am selected for Report Developement...plz guys let me join with u... plz advice and i expect u guys will make it happen....

Hi,
All the best for your future,
Even my situation was the same, i mean i just have 1 year of development experience.
I can say you to work on performance use the extended program check , ABAP test cockpit (if configured ), and code inspector.
Try to learn the functional flow of the business process, it will help you in getting the indepth knowledge, and hence will maintain your interest.
Try to be thoroughly learn your development guidelines (standards ), that are specific to your company.

First day with java: and first problem

Hi friends,
may be i'm hurrying a bit. But i really don't have time. I'm a PHP programmer , trying to shift to java, and i have one week to learn core java, j2ee and blah blah! And here i'm with a confusion.
When i tried implementing servlet , i didn't get any output:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
System.out.println("init");
but when i tried extending httpServlet , that worked.
whats the problem?
and will be happy to get a few tips.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to get someone with years of java experience at your side and have him set up your environment and will stand by when you get stuck. There is a LOT to learn that will take far far longer than one week to learn (more like years to get any good). Its a totally unrealistic expectation.
Here's a rundown for a quick start:
* Download and install JDK
* Download and install Eclipse Ganymede IDE
* Download and install Tomcat
* Download and install Tomcat plugin for Eclipse
* Build a hello world JSP page and run it in tomcat
* Build a hello world Servlet and run it in tomcat
* Install a free database such as Oracle Lite or MySql.
* learn how to use the database's free utility to create database tables and grant permission to read/write to them.
* Learn JDBC and get your program to connect to the database and query it.
* Learn MVC design

First day with this thing and I give up...

I have to say I was really excited to get this Time Capsule today, but I can't get it connected to the internet for the life of me. I've tried everything...and I'm starting to regret the purchase. I have Optimum online and currently use a NetGear router, with no issues. I've gone through the set up process 20 times now with the Time Capsule, I tried using any setup I can imagine, but I still cannot get connected to the internet with this thing. If anyone has any info they can lend I would appreciate it. I'm ready to return this thing.

I have no problems running TC with windows computers. but it needs to be setup correctly.
I want you to go about this in a different way.. cable modems normally register the MAC address of the router and do not readily give it up.
Please unplug the TC from power.. press in the reset button.. power on, still holding in reset.. wait until front led flashes rapidly. Release the reset.. and allow it to finish booting. That is full factory reset btw.
Please turn off the cable modem and leave it off for 15min.. to allow the lease to expire from the old router.
Then power on the cable modem.. wait 2min.. power on the TC.. plugged in by ethernet to wan port, ie the port next to USB, with sunburst symbol.
Start up the computer plugged by ethernet into the LAN port of the TC.. ie any of the three ports marked <--->
Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup.. on the main summary page check what the IP address of the wan port is. It has to be a public ip.
Now check the PC ethernet address by opening a command prompt and typing ipconfig /all
Please note the full ip address, gateway and dns address you are given.
Please ping a website.. and see if there is a response..
You can start with the public address of the TC and the dns address of the ISP. If they fail the issue is maybe the firewall on the computer.. or computer has switch to different setting, work or public location instead of home.
Turn off ipv6 in both the TC and the windows .. that only makes it harder.
If you get some progress.. remember SMB names are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.. by default apple names have spaces.. please change both the name of the TC and the wireless to SMB compatible.

First day w/ new iMac -- applications crashing

Today is my first day with a new flat screen iMac. I started out by transferring my files from my older Mac (Power PC), running 10.4.7.
After completing the transfer -- and downloading new versions of the assorted applications -- my new iMac has been crashing many applications all day long. Toast, for example. I've tried two burns tonight and both crashed during the final burn stage.
GoogleEarth is another. It won't even open on this new computer, crashing instantly. Internet Explorer (admitted, an old version), also crashed. PeerGuardian is another.
Why all these crashes? Did I do something wrong? Should I reinstall the master discs on this new drive, as opposed to continuing on with the transferred versions? Is it the jump up to 10.5.3?
Thanks...

Migrating PowerPC applications to an Intel Mac can be unreliable. I'd recommend downloading the latest Intel versions of the applications you need and re-installing them. From a security perspective using IE is a bad idea and given that MS stopped releasing versions / supporting IE on Macs many years ago. Firefox 2 and Safari 3 are good browsers and Opera and Camino have many fans too.

For two days I have been getting intermitant interference sounding like a radio program with the first day in Spanish.

I have 7.0.1 and Lion installed on a Mac book pro. The first day Spanish programing just started playing with no one at the computer. The second day the interference was in English having to quit Firefox to get it to stop.
I rebooted and cleaned the system but it has reoccurred. I have used iGoogle as my default homepage flawlessly for 2 years with this only occurring after I sign into iGoogle from the Google search page.
This machine is used for business only and not exposed elsewhere. Any thoughts before I remove and reinstall?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You can try calling Apple support at 0800-761-0880 and explaining the situation to them. Perhaps there will be something they can do to help. Try asking to speak with a Customer Relations representative, though I don't know if they have them in Brazil.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)
