T4i... lousy SD video... has anyone used SD and had final edit look ok. on timeline its a disaster.

T4i... lousy SD video... has anyone used SD and had final edit look ok. on timeline its a disaster. cell phone does better video.. im a pro video type and at this point may return cam and wait for a more capable eos.. like a mirrorless 60d...

Speedorms,
I would like to help determine what is causing this.
What exactly are you seeing that is poor quality in the video from your EOS Rebel T4i?
What are you using to edit your video?
What settings are you using to edit the video?
When you refer to SD, are you referring to the card in the camera or Standard Definition video?
If you prefer a mirrorless design, we do have the new EOS M. You may want to take a look at that model to see if it has the features you are looking for.

There is a program unfortunately just called "Cookie" (so I can't be successful doing a search here) that is supposed to help protect our private information that resides on our computers. Has anyone used this and is it worth buying?

Unfortunately this discussion forum has changed and become confusing indeed. It wanted me to put my entire question in a Subject box which wasn't labeled as such, and I find this strange. Especially since now it tells me to repeat my question in this box, so here goes.
Has anyone here used a program called 'Cookie' that is supposed to protect our private information from sites which could retrieve it when we surf the Net. If so, do you consider the program worth buying?

If you are referring to Cookie from SweetP Productions, I have tried it and not found it to work reliably, so I cannot recommend it. I've had the best results with the same company's free Safari Cookies, though it's not perfect (none of the cookie managers are, unfortunately):

Has anyone used jdic and JavaFX?

I'd like to integrate web content (html pages and youtube video) in a JavaFX application.
I'm using the webbrowser component of jdic but I have several problems:
1) I can't see web content.
2) I can't move the panel.
I tried two ways:
1) A javafx class that extend a swingComponent class, this is my code:
//MyWebBrowserFX.fx
import javafx.ext.swing.SwingComponent;
import org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.WebBrowser;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class MyWebBrowserFX extends SwingComponent{
    public override function createJComponent(){
        var webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
        webBrowser.setSize(300, 300);
        webBrowser.setURL(new URL("http://www.google.it"));
        var panel : JPanel = new JPanel();
        panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
     //panel.setLocation(300, 300);
        panel.move(100, 100);
        panel.add(webBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        return panel;
//MyScene.fx
public var myScene = Scene {
        content: Group{
            content: [
                MyWebBrowserFX{
        }In this case I see a white square (500x500) in 0,0 coordinates and I don't see Google web page.
I tried to move the web browser in this way
//MyScene.fx
    var webBrowser = Group {
            translateX: 200
            translateY: 200
            content: [
                MyWebBrowserFX{
public var myScene = Scene {
        content: Group{
            content: [
                webBrowser
        }In this case I don't see anything, the white square disappear
2) Integrate a swing component in a JavaFX scene:
//MyWebBrowser.java
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.WebBrowser;
public class MyWebBrowser {
    public static JComponent create() {
        WebBrowser webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
        try {
            webBrowser.setURL(new URL("http://www.google.it"));
        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MyWebBrowser.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1000, 1000));
        //panel.setLocation(300, 300);
        panel.add(webBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        return panel;
//MyScene.fx
var wb = null;
    var wbComp1 : Node;
    var wbComp : Node = bind wbComp1;
    public function setWebComponent(){
        wb = MyWebBrowser.create();
        wb.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(400,300));
        wbComp1 = SwingComponent.wrap(wb);
    public var ARScene = Scene {
        content: Group{
            content: [
                wbComp
        }Also in this case I don't see anything.
Where am I in wrong?

What are the thoughts on this program? Is it a problem or a solution?

It's a completely unnecessary piece of junk software that does for money what you can just as easily do for free. It's marketed using unconscionably slimy practices on web sites that are less than savory, and it's hard to get rid of if you do install it. Steer clear.

Has anyone used DETOX MY MAC and can it be trusted

My Mac Mini n now running very slowly, its difficult to open up anything, and starts up really slowly. In general its just a pain. For a week now I can't open my emails in AOL, I can see them but can't open them.
I have thought about DETOX MY MAC but I am worried that I will just be downloading more problems. Has anyone used it and can it be trusted
Thanks Ann

Don't install such "utilities." They're all scams.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Has anyone used Thunderbolt or USB 3.0?

In the not too distant future I am intending to upgrade from my 2008 24" 2.8GHz iMac.
The new models appear to have gone down the Thunderbolt route which appears to be not very popular with HDs being few and far between and very expensive.
USB 3.0 whilst theoretically only half the speed seems to be taking off and reasonably cheap, and appears to be more universally adopted.
Could Apple have backed the wrong horse on this occasion?
Sorry, I was just thinking aloud, definitely not speculating.
So has anyone used Thunderbolt and got anything good or bad to say about it?

Not personally:
The german computer-magazine c't tested the Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt and found it speedwise way ahead of USB 3.0 and eSATA.
As a RAID-Level 0 with 6 x Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 (7.200 U/min, 1TB each) and MBP 13" 2011 OSX 10.6.8:
Write - 693 MByte/s
Read - 721 MByte/s
Read AND Write - 323 MByte/s

Has Anyone Used the WD My Book External Drives for Time Machine?

I'm thinking of getting the Western Digitial 1 or 2 TB My Book (Pro Edition 2 or Studio Edition) External Drives for use with 2 MacPros. Has anyone used these and could I use them with Time Machine? Would I have to reformat them for Time Machine?
Thanks!
Ashley

You may, and probably want to format them, even if not TM use, I would anyway. Not everyone is happy with MyBook Pro and TM.
I buy bare FW devices and add disk drive of choice, or just use OWC
http://www.macsales.com/firewire and works well.
FW800 is also better on the new Mac Pro

Do not install MacKeeper (and how to uninstall it if you have):

Has anyone received advertising for software called "Mackeeper". Does anyone know if this is supported by Mac, and has anyone used this software?

Has anyone reveived advertising for software called "Mackeeper". Does anyone know if this software is supported by Mac, and has anyone used this software?

Thanks Kappy, I let it do the scan and when it stopped halfway through and demanded registration I stopped and deleted it. I still have the icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen and don't know how to remove it. If this is not possible I can live with it. I am new to Mac and have trouble divorcing myself from my old PC habits!

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Short answer: I don't recommend it, but it's not "a scam" or malware, per se. If you use it, you may have some real performance issues.
Me: I was an actual MacKeeper user (paid version) for about two years. What follows is my experience and conclusions. I am not a paid reviewer, nor tech professional. I am an educator with about 15 years of experience using Macs. I am what most people would call a "prosumer," in that I know a good deal about my systerm, but am not a techie, anti-utility software zealot, etc. I have no affiliation with Zeobit (manufacturer of MacKeeper) nor any of its competitors.
I bought MacKeeper in 2011, and then upgraded last year. I used it to remove junk files and duplicates, and experimented with the anti-virus software. I didn't use most of the other features.
The problem: I am running a 2009 15" Macbook Pro 2.8GHZ Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB HDD. Over the past year, it has been having major performance issues. Slowdowns, hangups, applications quitting and more were all becoming the norm. I deleted duplicate files and ran MacKeeper a few times a month. I also ran permissions repairs regularly (disk utility). I looked for the cause of the slowdowns everywhere, from too many user accounts being open, to resource hogs. I decided that MacKeeper's Anti-Virus software was just taking up too much RAM and CPU, so I disabled it. I continued experiencing slowdowns and started monitoring my available RAM with a freeware app called Memory Clean. It often reported that I had less than 500MB available, even with very light usage, application wise. After "cleaning" memory, I could get my available RAM to about 1.5GB, max. I struggled with these issues for a year or more, and was about ready to concede defeat and buy a new machine. I figured my MBP was over four years old, and perhaps running Mountain Lion and normal wear/tear were just too much.
This morning, I noticed that the biggest resource hog on my system was a process called "MacKeeper Helper." The process relaunches even when it is forced to quit. It was consuming over 100MB of RAM and up to 99 percent of my CPU at times! I also noticed a process called "anti-virus" that also could not be quit, and was consuming over 100MB of RAM itself. I started researching how to kill these processes, and was introduced the the Great Online MacKeeper Controversy. Here is what I learned:
Some in the Mac community have pure hatred for this product (and some hate all like it).
There were numerous user reports of it slowing down systems
Zeobit seemed to be guilty of questionable ethics, particularly in its advertising.
There was no way to stop MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus processes from running with deleting the entire application.
I wasn't the only one annoyed by MacKeeper's system pop-ups, trying to sell me something I already bought.
The software got good professional reviews, even from well-respected publications (e.g. MacWorld)
It is often confused with Mac Defender, which WAS malware. They two are not associated.
The Decision: After researching ways of fully uninstalling MacKeeper (and considering whether or not I should), I decided to try the uninstall instructions from the manufacturer. It said that it would remove ALL traces of the application. I also didn't want to get into too much Terminal work and manually deleting things, as some users suggested doing. I followed the process (close app, drag to trash, enter password, click "uninstall"). I then ran a permissions repair and restarted.
The Results: I have been MacKeeper-free for about an hour as I write this. Put simply, my problems appear to be completely solved. MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus are gone. Available RAM is now up to 2.75GB. I have experienced no slowdowns or app crashes. Even bootup appeared to be considerably faster. Launching iPhoto with thousands of images now takes a few seconds instead of minutes. Everything feels faster. It's like I have my Mac back! I was ready to admit defeat and dish out another $2500+ that I didn't have. I now think that won't be necessary!
What Should Yo Do? You'll find a lot of controversy out there between professional reviews, ethically dubious paid reviews, Zeobit's own defense through public statements, and Mac users themselves. Some users like it, and swear up and down they are real people. Others are extremely angry and hate the product with the passion of 1,000 burning suns. All I can do is tell you my experience and make the following statement:
The bottom line is that I would not install MacKeeper/buy MacKeeper on my Mac. After investigating my own system's problems (which made iit nearly unusable) and concluding that MacKeeper might be the issue, I uninstalled it. Magically, all my issues went away. So...I report, you decide. Best of luck.

Has anyone downloaded Yosemite and found that there are no ore scroll bars? I have to move the window (of any window, Skype window, browser window etc.) in order to find the scroll bar and then it disappears so fast I can't even use it.

Has anyone downloaded Yosemite and found that there are no ore scroll bars? I have to move the window (of any window, Skype window, browser window etc.) in order to find the scroll bar and then it disappears so fast I can't even use it.

Not sure why that was unchecked but good to know!
Apple's new default (since at least a couple of OS releases back) is to have it off so OS X matches the behavior of an iPhone or iPad.
I almost never need a scroll bar, and when I do, I just move over to the edge of the window when scrolling and a larger scroll bar appears.
Yes, for the most part, users don't really need the scroll bar. That's what the scroll wheel on almost all mice is for. Saves the trip over to bar to physically grab and move it. But, I do like it on all the time regardless. That way (especially with a long article) I can just take a quick glance over to the bar to see about where I am on the page (a third of the way down? halfway?). Otherwise, I have to move the page just to make it appear to give me the same information.

Has anyone used Audacity to create a Podcast on a PC and then make it available on itunes?

Has anyone used Audacity to create a Podcast on a PC and then make it available on itunes? If you have used Audacity is it a good program to use? Any tips or suggestions?

Almost certainly. You can use any program which does what you want: the end product has to be an .mp3 or .m4a file. After that it's a question of making the feed, either writing it yourself or more likely using a program or online service.
Audacity is a useful program, and free, and you can certainly do the sort of things you need to make a podcast. I prefer Amadeus Pro, which costs $59.99 and has recently been updated with better multi-track facilities: I always fled that Audacity was awkward to use by comparison and occasionally flaky, but we're probably splitting hairs here: it would certainly be a good place to start.

Has anyone used switch control and siri at the same time?

Has anyone used accessibility switch control and siri at the same time?

Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.
