For those that need help.
Hi all.
I've been using GB for a few years now. I love this program.
In my projects I felt like I needed a little more power so I upgraded to Logic Pro about a year ago. This program is so huge that I got my hands on a DVD video tutorial set by MacProVideo.com. I am learning something new by the minute. Really cool.
Then I was looking at their site today and saw that they have a DVD for Garageband. I checked out the samples and found a tip that I was unaware of. I haven't learned anything new about GB in 6 months to a year, especially something as potentially useful as this:
http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/garageBand101
I'm sure some of you may already know about this (Hang, I'm looking at you) but I never did. This got me thinking that this DVD tutorial could help out anybody that's just starting out. You could have a thorough understanding of Garageband in an afternoon. And it's very reasonably priced for what you would be getting.
I am in no way affiliated with MacProVideo.com. I am just passing on a way to learn that I don't think has been covered on this forum yet. The DVD series I have for Logic has done WONDERS for me, so I assume that the DVD for GB will do wonders for anybody just starting out.
....At least the tip was cool....

Sorry everybody...the link I was hoping to provide was once again the wrong one. Here's the link to the tip that I did not know before this:

Tool icons, navigation, elements need to be larger for those that want it
I have read through many forums from May 2012 right up through the current ones about this issue. There are a lot of Photoshop users who are complaining about the size of tool icons and other elements as being way too small. Then there are others who defend the size of Photoshop and some who say the icons haven't really changed. Finally, there are some who say Adobe will not do anything about this.
Let me offer a perspective as a 15 year user of Photoshop and other Adobe products. Under the earlier versions of CS, Photoshop would follow the Windows sizing instructions inputed by the user. So if we wanted everything to be large and 150% of normal size, Photoshop would follow those instructions regardless of the monitors resolution. In CC especially, it appears Adobe has abandoned any connection in its software to what the user has defined in Windows about sizing. This isn't so much about the actual size as defined in Adobe's code but how those sizes vary or don't vary based on Windows settings.
This is no minor matter. We are now working on a high resoltuion, 23" Apple Cinema Monitor at top resolution. We do that to get maximam clarity. At the same time, we know that we cannot possibly use any software that looks as small as it would in that resoltuion without adjustment. So we turn around and crank Windows up to maximum oversize in every setting that exist. The result is that desktop icons show at the size we want and other major software also shows at the size we want. The best example is Cubase which is a professional digital audio workstation. Cubase is to muisic what Photoshop is to images. Both highly professional tools. The difference is that even in high resolution, Cubase defers to the Windows sizing. All the icons, menus, navigation bar, track workspace and more are very large just like the icons on our desktop.
This means that we know it is possible and not difficult for all software to follow the Windows settings inspite of the native resolutlion. So far Adobe has chosen not to do this. Below is a screen shot of PS CC on our monitor (actually 2 monitors with Apple Cinema on the left where PS is). Unlike all the screen shots that have been shown by others during the last 18 months, we made sure that our desktop icons could be clearly seen as well. Notice the size difference between PS icons, navigation and elements versus our desktop icons. Cubase looks like our desktop icons. So why can't PS?
It is our recommendation that Adobe do the following immediately. You can't ignore 18 months or more of complaints from a large number of users without addressing the problem. The world has gone to high resolution monitors but for many of us, we need the size of software to be larger than the native resolution we are using. It's not a matter of dropping the resolution. That is not desirable and not necessary based on our actual experience. That produces other types of problems with lack of clarity that don't work. Try to select a single strand of a sound wave when there are one hundred a second in low resolution. We need the resolution but we also need the software to show larger for those that want it. For those that don't, you may be happy but why should everyone else be unhappy or unable to use the new software.
1. Provide a yes/no option to allow Adobe CC to follow the Windows sizing settings inspite of monitor resolution. Those that don't want to do this can leave it no. Those that want it can turn it on and make the entire program look bigger.
2. Provide internal CC settings to increase the size of any and all visual workspace elements and tools on a percentage basis for maximum flexibility. There may be good reasons why some people don't want to change their Windows sizing but do want to increase the visual size of CC programs.
Frankly, this is not rocket science and I'm amazed Adobe didn't jump on solutions after the 2012 forum discussions. To hear from people that nothing is gong to be done is scary for the user and should be scary for Adobe since it could result in losing customers and sales. Let's make this program work for all users on all resolution monitors in the way they need it to work. Other major software companies have done this. Why is Adobe the odd company out on this.Thanks for your thoughtful answer. I do appreciate the issues here.
I'm aware of the problems in how applications work in an OS when that OS keeps changing (too much?!). Yes, this could be very consuming from a resource perspective and could take some time.
That's why my second recommendation addresses this problem without having to worry about the OS. It is not a huge resource or time issue for Adobe to provide internal sizing controls for all aspects of its software that have nothing to do with the OS or the resolution of monitor. We've had that sizing control for how big the file we are working with shows on the screen since Photoshop 1.0. I am aware of applications that added such sizing controls over 10 years ago and one of them over 15 years ago. This isn't new.
So let's put aside the disucssion about the OS and just focus on a way to define how big the entire PS program shows including all tools, elements and navigation on a percentage basis. Just an addition to the internal Preferences of the program itself. If I want PS to show at 200% or 300% of it's standard size, let me do it
The time and resources to add this to the program are not huge. Further, since this issue has been discussed for a long time, it should have been much higher on the priority list. If I was running product development, I would have made this a mandatory part of the introduction of CC. The number of complaints are simply too high to ignore this or say that it's going to take time. That tells me it's not a high enough priority on the development list.
Let's remember that for every person who does complain on these forums, there are a hundred or more that don't but are experiencing the same thing. The small size of PS tools, icons, elements and text is simply unacceptable to too many users for it to have gone on unaddressed this long. -
Bought a Template for a customer Need Help
I know HTML but the coding to change things baffles me. I am out of help with the seller who is in Australia.
This is what the .txt looks like that I change function with.
&Home_txt8=<font color="#d0d0d0"><b>text goes here
It looks straightforward but I cant use /* */ or <!-- to deactivate stuff so I can try it out.
Any help would be welcomed.
the url of the site is www.danceations.com
I have done some mods but want to do more.
JoepdThe replies are terse and don't come right away. I bought it from some
outfit in Australia. When I asked how do I get rid of the pulldown phono on
the index page the answer was "remove the first page of the Flash.fla.
Except it took out the song I added and I would need tro recreate a Flash Page.
Ugh!
Not a good experience.

When will apple stores have business/productivity workshops after the 5pm time weekdays for those that work?
You would need to talk to the store managers about that; we're just fellow users here. I would guess that they schedule workshops during the day when traffic is lighter so as to not impact and be impacted by evening retail traffice.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks
Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

- For those who are having trouble with their ipods accepting some videos and not others, try shortening the names of the video files. As long as the video files are in the proper format, this should clear up that issue.
- For those who want to get the songs off of your ipod without having to worry about the iTunes one-way syncing issue the following programs will help you with that:

I've got the 5th gen iPod and after a little finessing, I think I've got it all pretty much figured out. So, if anyone has questions, gimme a shout. Or maybe you've got some cool ideas I can use!
5th Gen Windows XP Pro
Windows XP ProWhat is an ideal average setting for my homemade iMovies?
Settings for your iMovie for what? If your are talking about conversion to an iPod compatible format, which format? Are you more concerned with quality or quantity?
First, what's the best, fastest and easiest way to convert these iMovies to the H.264 (is that done through iMovie or QT Pro or both) and what other settings (audio for one) should I be using besides the standard 30 fps ?
Your are using the same QT tools whether you convert directly from iMovie or indirectly via QT Pro using a reference file. (I.e., the only time you save is the time it takes to write the reference file itself.)
Define what you mean by best.
The "Movie to iPod (320x240)" option is the fastest in terms of programming your conversion but the slowest in terms of time it take for processing. The "Movie to MPEG4" option is slower/harder to program for a single pass H.264 encode, but takes half the time to process as the dedicated H.264 option. MPEG4 video options (single pass and 2-pass modes) are faster than H.264 codec. Audio options are the same for both H.264 and MPEG4 formats -- AAC LC. I personally would stick with the 44.1 kbps sampling rate and 128 kbps data rate for audio but you could take it up to 48 kbps at 160 kbps if you want. As to frame rate, I would stick with the current (original) setting of your source. 30 (29.97) fps provides the smoothest flow of motion. You could, of course, try 24 or even 15 fps in some cases to see if it is acceptable. Dropping below 12 fps would probably be unacceptable to most people. But you're the producer and director here, so you have to make up your own mind. -
few days ago I have purchased Iphone casino games from itunes apps store. One of the game was made by the company called "ARISTOCRAT" dragan game. Usually we will get basic tokens to play the game, and if we ran out of the tokens all we need to do is going into "manu" and "setting" selete "dream" and reset that we should be able to continue play the game with same amount of the basic tokens. The one game would not let us to go back to the game. There were msg came out said" game center requires an active connection to the internet"? I didn't feel comfortable because we purchased the game for $1.99 to play for fun and not to gamble. We do have credit card on your file. We don't want to be charged alot of money for something not in our well. I need help to answer the question on the following:
1. Are we able to ever play this game again without going to internet? We don't even know which site to go to, because when we press the ok button nothing else came out to direct us to any area.
2. We only purchased the few days ago order ID: MGT74GN6V7 on 10/03/12. all the other games we purchased we were able to continue to play by doing the same setting.
Thank you for your help and looking forward to hear from you!You need to contact itunes support

For those that can't open LR CC after upgrade...
For those having issues getting LR CC to open, you need to log out of the desktop CC app itself.
Quitting the app isn't enough.
Click the settings gear icon in the top right corner, preferences, sign out.
Then log back in with your email address and password.Of course you need to back up first. You should always have a back up before you upgrade or update anything.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Then click upgrade. -

User enters the paremter for the year, need help converting that to date
Hello!
I have a report that asks for the user what data they want to see based on the year. They will then enter 2007 for example. My problem is that when I use that parameter in the where clause I get an error -
ORA-01722 Invalid Number
Here is the line of code -
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR (TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') ) = (TO_CHAR(:p_year,'YYYY')))
The :p_year is what I am referring to, I know if I hard code 2007 in there it works just fine. I've tired converting it to a char, converting it to a date, and even converting to a date and back to a char, but it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!It all depends whether your input parameter is NUMBER, CHAR, DATE or SOMETHING_ELSE.
a) NUMBER
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TO_CHAR(:p_year,'FM9999')
)b)STRING
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TRIM(:p_year)
)c) DATE assumption then is 01.01. of this year)
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
trunc(req.open_date,'year') = :p_year
)d) something else - like not a bind variable but literal or script parameter
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
(req.open_date >= to_date('01/01/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy') AND
req.open_date < to_date('31/12/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy')+1

Those who need help converting in iTunes:
If you're like me and needed an mp3 file or anything but kept getting stuck with m4a, there's a SIMPLE way to fix this (not the crap people give you about having to burn CDs and stuff)-
1. Open iTunes and go into your preferences.
2. Select the importing tab.
3. Where it says "Import Using: (AAC ENCODER)" just select the one that says MP3 encoder, or whatever other file you want it to be.
4. Go back into your library with those changed settings.
5. Select a song (or a number of songs), hold the option key while you click it and select "Convert selection to (MP3)".
Very simple. It makes a copy of the song in that format. There's no need to waste a CD, nor go to some website and pay for a converter. I hope that helped some of you.The only time when people talk about "burning CDs and stuff" is when protected iTMS content is in question. Besides that, I don't think there is much mystery in transcoding files in iTunes, as it's pretty straightforward.
