I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
And for screen recording specifically, there's

Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

How to make The Java Screen Recorder similar to this one?

Can u talk about this how can make this code with java?
http://www.devharbor.com/java/300-Screen-Recorder.html
The author of this application says this maked by Java Swing.
My Question is:
What is Java Swing?
It's easy to make this app?
What API/Component needed for export video to MP4 Format like this application?
How can make a similar application for education purpose with Java.
Thanks

I need to know about swing and start to work with java to develop this software and if I need some help I ask here.Clearly yes. You also need to make simple programs and practice for a long time before you're gonna be able to write a screen recorder with MP4 output.
I try to develop this before 3-4 years ;)I guess 3-4 years is a realistic goal, if you really concentrate on learning Java.

Built in screen recorder?

I know that when I bought my Macbook Pro, the guy who helped me pick the right computer showed me that some how he made the screen of the Macbook Pro record, and it wasn't a program, i just came with the Macbook Pro that you see on the tables that you can use. Does anyone know how to accesses this?

Yes, but you need to select the internal microphone by clicking on the little triangle.

I have a 22 inch monitor set at 150% but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot make font or screen larger. I can do Control++ each time I enter a page but don't want that to be my solution.

In control panel/display, I had my display set at 150% and at 1680 X 1050 resolution. This filled my 22 inch screen with the page content. Now that I have installed Firefox, the font is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3" per side of blank space. I want to fill the screen and make everything larger. Haven't found a way to do that. Firefox tells me in my control panel/display window that by setting my display at 150%, "some items may not fit in your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution. It worked fine with Explorer.

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

1 iCloud ID, Multiple Apple IDs = problem...HELP, cannot make Family Share with iCloud work

So I have music stored in multiple apple IDs. I have an iPhone & therefore an iCloud ID. I wanted to use the family share option however I cannot as the other apple IDs do not have iCloud IDs. Is there a way to get around this? I believe the only way one can have an iCloud ID is if they currently have a Mac product & register it through that; I have a PC not a Mac. Please HELP!!!! Thanks.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

Cannot make default email address to work

I have two email accounts configured into my iPad. One a pop account and the other gmail account. I have set the default email address to be from my pop account. Whenever I send out an email, even from a reply to my pop account address - the out going reply shows my gmail address, instead of the default pop account address. I have tried almost everything to get this to work properly - but just can't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
cammot

Try going to the default account Settings > Mail and delete the account you have specified as the default.
Then Settings > Add account and reenter the information by hand. Make sure you enter the outgoing server information carfully, user information such as password, and then specify that as the default.
When you enter the password, watch the characters as you type, they appear in plain text for a second or two before becoming dots.
See if that helps.

IPad Screen Recorder, will it take Apple modifying iOS to make this possible without jailbreaking?

Is there something in IOS that makes it impossible to create a Display / Screen Recorder, without jailbreaking?
I see more and more apps that have built-in screen recording capabilities into their applications. Mostly in Educational Apps and a few drawing apps:
ExplainEverything, ShowMe, ScreenChomp, and Brushes to name a few. However there are no Apps that can create a screencast of you working on your iPad without jailbreaking. Initially I thought it was the lack of mutlitasking but that was mostly taken care of with the iPad 2. Yet there are still no Apps that can perform screen recordings of the iPad.
Apple before every developer attempts to create this within their own Apps some well and some badly, wouldn't it make sense to have an Apple developed or Apple / TechSmith partnership to create an iPad Screen Recording capability in the iPad 1, iPad 2 and all future iPads.
It is a post PC world and I shouldn't have to connect my iPad to my MacBook or PC just to capture my iPad screen (Not just an Image, but real-time screen recording). Even an external piece of hardware small, inexpensivew with either an SD card or SSD Drive for storage that plugs into the iPads and iPhones would be better than nothing. A software App that runs on the iPad is the ideal. So before this type of Universal App can be created, is there something that Apple needs to do or provide hooks for to make this happen.

Cannot choose screen recording quality

I cannot choose Quality for screen recording... please help!
My system is 10.9 and my QuickTime Player is Version 10.3 (727.1).

I don't think that's the case for me. The video I record does not look HQ, and I cannot export it higher than 480...
Dedpends on how you try to re-transcode it. For instance, it appears that the Mavericks Finder level service will allow you to upconvert the video but why bother? Doing so normally just makes for a larger file storage size with degraded video display:
I.e., the "Export" option normally prevents the user from upconverting files to a display/encode size larger than the original.

Condition of Gnome Shell (git) and its issues

I had recently been able to build gnome-shell-git succesfully, but, after that, there have always been issues.
I have uploaded gnome-shell-git on AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29509, but it seems that there are some things that may be wrong on the deps:
1)gobject-instrospection needs to be built before clutter-git.
2)Clutter (git), on the other hand, often has build issues and can't be built with (1) installed first, even though it is required as a makedep. If we turn off gobject-introspection integration, we don't have Clutter-*.gir created.
Clutter 1.0.x on the other hand (the [extra] one), doesn't seem to be gobject-introspection aware, even though we *have* to include this dep.
3)If someone can build the (1) and (2), has issues, during compiling gnome-shell-git, where, during compilation, Mutter is being executed somehow (?) (you can see errors that occur only if mutter is being executed), with a strange mozjs error.
4)Last but not least, should we prefer Mutter (Metacity 3.x) from git.gnome.org, or the patched one from git.moblin.org (that already exists on AUR). Mutter seems not to respect my xf86-video-ati driver, since, if I turn on Mutter composition, I have no hardware acceleration (but software acceleration) and the fonts become very blurry. (of course I have 3D desktop composition for many months now with the other Window managers)
I'd like to have your opinion on what should be done to make gnome-shell work and to hear if someone could make gnome-shell work.

Screencast in Gnome Shell doesn't work

Hi folks
I tried to record a screencast in the Gnome Shell using the built-in feature, but it's not working; there's no red dot and no file in my home directory. Is there a package I need to install? Or is it possible that the Keyboard-Shortcut is in conflict with another program, if so does somebody know how to change it?
Thanks

Just wonder which ones plugins package is responsible for screencast recording? Does gst and gstreamer packages may conflict with each other when they installed together?

Screen record more fps QuickTime X?

Hi,
With QuickTime X, you can do a screen recording. It works fine, except for that it seems to have a really low frame rate. Moving things look all jerky. Is there a way to turn up the frame rate? On the window to make a new screen recording there is a little arrow pointing down and it gives different options. Under "Quality", I have "High" selected. Do you just have to buy QuickTime Pro or Screenflow or something to get a higher frame rate, or can I turn this up?

Although you can't directly choose the frame rate, QTX does allow for one adjustment that may help. "High" refers to the image quality, not the video frame rate. If you choose "Medium" instead, the image quality will decrease (perhaps imperceptibly) but the frame rate will rise.

Gnome shell extensions issues since 3.2 release...

I may be a little early in the game here but I figured I would just mention that I'm having issues with pretty much all the cool extensions I had installed prior to 3.2. I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues. I changed 3.0 to 3.2 in the metadata.js file to no avail, they are still unusable. Was there any other changes that needed to be made?
The ones I cared the most about are:
system monitor (the cool one in the aur, not the one in repo)
weather
a11y (i know there is a hack, but I'd prefer a extension... or just an option to be able to remove the dang universal access icon period)
frippery (which are a bunch of different ones such as the apps button, quick launch, and such)
Also all my themes are a bit messed up... so what was the biggest changes in 3.2 besides the transparency finally working in the terminal?
I still like gnome 3 and know sometimes you have to take steps back to go forward...

wonder wrote:who cares about extensions. they are unsupported by upstream
Well i care about extensions, since i can not login into gnome after updating to 3.2.
Maybe i didnt spend hours on fixing the problems, but is this the sence it is supposed to be?
The extensions were disabled by default, after the error message came, and it didnt do anything.
Then i moved the extensions out of /usr/share/gnome-shell, to make it work temporarily.
What happened? Only one extension left that made problems: gnome-shell-theme-selector.
Does anybody how to switch this off? Or something, that can login again?
Edit:
i found the info again, that this theme-selector is in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
I moved the extension one directory higher. And now in this error message window it is said that i should re-login,
but there is nothing said about any extension any more.

Quicktime Screen Recording freezing in fullscreen recordings

Hi
I was trying to record in fullscreen of an application, namely a game, using Quicktime.
The screen recording works fine when recording windows, but as soon as I open one in fullscreen, my mac freezes. Just a black screen, and none of the keys work, so I have to resort to rebooting.
Is there a solution to this?
Thank you in advance.

That causes 'muddy' pics:
FCPX is basically meant for video = standards, e.g. 1080 or 720 ...
Screen-recordings, in 99% cases, are 'off'' those standard resolutions => 'un-even' scaling neccessary = loss of quality.
(plus, the harm added, to playback those files again in some 'uneven' scaling...)
best-practice:
Use designated tools, as the widly recommended Screenfflow ...
Plan B)
… for the small budget:
learn how to create FCPX with custom resolutions ...
