Has anyone used the new DivX 10: HEVC ? If so, what results, better, worse, the same on streaming videos?

Just simply would like to know if anyone has used the new DivX program? Generally I've had success with the older versions. I've had to uninstall and reinstall occasionally when something happens and the video won't buffer and it plays well. So, before I make the change I wondered if this is improved or what?

We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.

the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy

Has anyone used the Applesause Polish from Invisible Shield!

Has anyone used that stuff?
Does it work?
What about on a 3G iPod?
Thanks

I bought it and I think it´s really good. I test it against a macbook pro 13" and I found it very similar in times, sometimes the Sonnet reader beat the built in reader, usually not but sometimes it did.
It´s a little tricky to put the cards into the reader but I guess that becuse that way it´s harder to push the card out by mistake.
I also love that it can live on my macbook pro becuse it fits perfectly, no need to put it on and off evertime I use it.
But the one you are saying is not the one I bought, becuse it´s almost 50 usd the one I have

I also bought the dual compac flash reader and I also love it, it´s extremly fast
Sorry that I didn´t answer faster but I was working and I never get the advice that I had a message.

DVD Cloner for Mac v4- has anyone used this software?

I'm wanting to get a good DVD burner software, however there are so many out there. Has anyone used DVD Cloner for Macv4?

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 Grid Control to implement DataGuard?

Has anyone used Grid Control to implement DataGuard?

Hi,
You are right, without the B&K software there is not much I can load. However this is usefull information. The VIs that you have are a wraper for the calls to the ActiveX pulse control. If those VIs do not provide the functionality for the Intensity Module there are 2 options:
+The developer did not develop VIs for the module
+The Pulse ActiveX control does not exposes the functionality of the Intensity Module.
To find this out, you can create a new VI that opens a reference to the Pulse ActiveX object and start looking for some property that gives you a reference to the Sound Intensity Module, or a a function that allows you to run any methods from the module. There are a bunch of examples that ship with LabVIEW on calling Ac
tiveX modules.
You can also try to get the documentation for the ActiveX interface for Pulse to find out whether the Module is exported or not.
There is also the option to use Native LabVIEW functions for the Sound Intensuty measurements; the Sound and Vibration Toolset can take sound intensity measurements that are compliant with industry standards.
Let me know how this goes.
Regards,
Juan Carlos

Has anyone used the new 5K retina iMac with Lightroom

Has anyone used Lightroom with the new 5K Imac. If so any problems ?

Just bought one - arrives next week. From what i can tell it's should be the fastest mac for lightroom. Processor speed is most vital. Doesn't really use all the mac pro multiple cores as I understand 4 is plenty (correct me pls?) and 16Gb ram should hopefully do it. Getting a raid thunderbolt 2 drive for image storage which will daisy chain with my eizo monitor. Choose 3tb internal fusion as I understand full SSD doesn't really help too much. 2GB graphics plenty unless you're doing video maybe?.
Only issue is I have a series of archive 3TB firewire 800 drives which are daisy chained. the questions is how will these work with an adapter but this remains to be seen....

Has anyone used the new Quicken for Lion?

Before updating to Lion and purchasing the new Quicken which is compatible with Lion, I wanted to see if others have used it yet and if there are any major problems.

I have not experienced any problems with the new Quicken for Lion. It's quite different from the old version but it seems to work quite well. After installing Lion, the old version of Quicken was deemed useless. It will not run on Lion, so access it before you update if you intend to extract any info from it. Good luck!

Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
i do not recall having any problems with it.

Has anyone used the appscript modual for python rather than streight AS?

I just discovered appscript and so far I like what I see. has anyone used it?
Does it just wrap around actual applescript commands which it then sends to osascript with a system call or does it use the message system directly? Is there anything that it has not yet implemented that might cause problems?
To me it seems to be a perfect solution to the clutter that AS seems to be... at least from someone coming from more traditional languages.

In startMovie, you need to register the xtra
on startMovie
axRegister(serial code here)
end
Then, on your Record Button, something like this:
on mouseUp me
--start recording session - using 400k as maximum here
errOpen=axOpenRecorder(400000)
--see if there is an error
put errOpen
--save the new audio as a file
errRecord=axRecordSoundToFile("soundName","c:\path\to\soundfile.wav")
--see if there is an error
put errRecord
end
then make sure you close the recorder in stopMovie
on stopMovie
axCloseRecorder()
end
You can also make a Stop Recording button that has code like
this:
on mouseUp me
errStop=axStopRecording()
put errStop
end

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

Has anyone used the Essbase XTD Spreadsheet Services?

Is the Essbase Spreadsheet Services an additional cost above and beyond the spreadsheet add-in?Has anyone used this product in addition to or in place of the existing spreadsheet add-in?What have you found are the added benefits of this product? Any lost functionality or issues with using this over the current spreadsheet add-in.If we upgrade to Essbase 6.5 is this the 'new' spreadsheet add-in or is it optional?Thanks!Lisa

To try to answer the questions in order:Q: Is the Essbase Spreadsheet Services an additional cost above and beyond the spreadsheet add-in? A: I believe ESS is licensed separately - I don't know if this has or will change in the future, so yes it does cost above and beyond Essbase.Q: Has anyone used this product in addition to or in place of the existing spreadsheet add-in? A: I used it during the beta, and I work with it from time to time, but I have not implemented it in production anywhere as of yet.Q:What have you found are the added benefits of this product? Any lost functionality or issues with using this over the current spreadsheet add-in. A: The main benefits are that you can now connect to your Essbase servers (via Essbase Enterprise Services) over HTTP, which means you don't need TCP connectivity. You could have users around the world and as long as they can see the web server running the service, they can connect.Another benefit is you don't need to install the Essbase runtime on the user's PC. The "add in" can be a CAB file that self installs when the user hits a page you set up. A nice bonus in a large widely dispersed user community.As far as functionality goes, I believe the will be parallel (the beta did not have EIS drill through). The major downer is performance - it is slower than the normal add-in with larger reports.Q: If we upgrade to Essbase 6.5 is this the 'new' spreadsheet add-in or is it optional? A: No - the normal add-in is still the default. ESS requires additional software/configurations (particulary EES, Java App Server) to be used.Regards,Jade-----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

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.

Has anyone used an app with the Maverick software to burn iPhoto slideshows to DVD disks that will play on any DVD player?

Has anyone used an app with the new Maverick software to burn iphoto slide shows to DVDs that will play on a standard DVD player? This probably cannot be a demo app in that the amout of photos on the slideshows is large.
Thank you,
Jim

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

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.
