Help using Nik Sharpener Pro for output to Aperture Book...

I wonder if anyone knows what printers Apple uses in the U.S. for Aperture book printing. 'Googling' leads me to think that they are 'digital' but I don't know how to translate that for the settings in Sharpener Pro.
Or is there a prescribed way to sharpen (with general setting info) in Aperture itself. I know how to sharpen in Aperture (3.4.3) but don't know what is the right method for images destined for a book.
My images are almost all portraits, and close-ups specifically, so eyes are particularly important.
I have spent a lot of time trying to find help with this online. My two Aperture books say nothing.
Any other advice for optimizing the results would be most appreciated.
Thanks...

Thank you for this! I hope it helps (the best info so far) but I wish that someone from Apple would update for all of us the specs of the printers that they are using now (four years later than the discussion referenced).

I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

I am thinking of using a Mac pro for share trading. Can anyone share their experience and suggest specs for 30 -40 monitors etc

Hi
I am thinking of using a Mac Pro for share trading.
I am proposing to start small but want to be able to expand up to 30+ monitors.
It must be super quick.
Any help with hardware would be appreciated.
Software is secondary at this point , but open to advice.
I have an iphone and ipad so feel it will better intergrate usung Apple
regards
David

There is no desktop machine that I know of that will support 30+ monitors as is.
Fill the 3 or 4 PCIe slots of any logic board with three port graphics cards and you have the physical cap without additional hardware.
Software is secondary at this point
No, without software, how can you control more than the monitor limit of the OS?
How can you set up the monitors to display the various programs that you will wish to use simultaneously?
Software is a major consideration.
Matrox (and others) have solutions for additional monitors beyond the physical capabilities of generally offered graphics cards.
The caveat here, however, is support software is typically reserved for Windows and Linux systems.
Matrox has a single 8 display card:

Matrox has solutions specifically targeting the finance market:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/solutions/trading_analyst/
Though the Mac Pro has more than adequate processing power, I think that you will find (through research) that building a solid machine capable of using several multi monitor cards is going to be what you will need to support more than 8-10 monitors with conventionally offered hardware.
Fun stuff:

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode. Then, after starting in safe mode, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Library/StartupItems. Then, empty this folder and restart the Mac.
If your Mac starts after doing this, it was a problem with a third-party app that starts automatically when you turn on the computer. It won't start automatically anymore after doing that

Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

Actually, you can and have downloaded from there, because that message only happens when the download is finished.
The message is entirely normal, and is Apple's way of encouraging the world to use the Mac App Store. That doesn't help you because Acrobat isn't in the Mac App Store - it isn't allowed there.
So, what to do? Change your system settings

Record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows?

Is it possible to record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows? The system I want to upload audio files that I record to requires they be in a wav file format / PCM - 112025kh / 8 bit mono / 11.05khz
Something tells me no...and I bought this upgrade for nothing...GRRRRRRR

QuickTime Pro for Windows allows you to make audio recordings from some input devices.
You can then "export" these new files to .wav format at any setting you choose.

Want to use Logic 8 Pro for Podcasting, help needed

I have a few problems. I just switched over to Logic after using ProTools for 4 years so I'm a newbie. I'm about to start a podcast soon and I want to use Logic 8 Pro to do so. Is there a book that someone can recommend me for getting familiar with Logic?
Here are the things I need to get done:
I have a mixer and I need to know how to record the sounds playing through my computer to end up in Logic. I basically want to be able to capture the audio playing on my computer and have that be on the podcast. How do I do this?
Secondly, I'm confused about what Input 1 and Input 2 are. What is the difference?
I'd appreciate anyone who could IM me to help me further with Logic if I have a quick question or anything. My AIM screen name is DirtyVibes. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-RandomSkater

Is there a book that someone can recommend me for getting familiar with Logic?
Yes, the Getting Started manual, you can download it from Apple.
I have a mixer and I need to know how to record the sounds playing through my
computer to end up in Logic. I basically want to be able to capture the audio
playing on my computer and have that be on the podcast. How do I do this?
I'm not sure what you are asking here. If you want to record the whole output of your computer, I recommend using a virtual audio driver like Soundflower or Jack.
Secondly, I'm confused about what Input 1 and Input 2 are. What is the difference?
Input 1 is the input marked "1" on your audio interface (or the left channel on a stereo pair).
Input 2 is the input marked "2".
If your audio interface has more than 2 inputs, they will all show up, so you can record different inputs to different tracks if required.
You might be better off using Garageband to record your podcasts, it's simpler and has dedicated podcast functions (like adding iTunes artwork and so on).

CS4 hang after using Nik Sharpener - on Snow Leopard

Hello everyone,
coming from Windows to MAC - to avoid trouble - I see it is not trouble free ... ?? While using the Nik Complete collection filters, all filters work fine with CS4 - except Nik Sharpener. It looks to me that the Filter works OK, one can use it with its user interface and after hitting " Execute" the filters works and needs to give the results to CS4 .... <--- this step does not work. It takes a while and then CS4 does not react anymore and I must kill the process. I tried this with some of my pictures, it is NOT related to the size of t files . The hang comes with small files as well as with big files. I can - sometimes - use it and it works fine, but this is only in rare cases. Theres is no difference wetherI tun other programs like Bridge or Capture One at the same time or not - CS4 hangs come in any case.
Has anyone observed the same issues and knows what the root cause might be? Adobe support sent me a list what I should do. I tried some things, but I'm new on MAC and do not know the OS that good . I'm not able to follow all these steps. The Mac is a Mac Pro with 10 GB RAM. There should not be an issue with the RAM for CS4. The OS is Snow Leopard with the newest patches. Technically the Mac has no hardware issues or any other strange behavior - its is only this point that does not work
THANKS a lot for your help
Kind regards,
Hartmut

Hello Chris,
I have the newest version downloaded incl. all available patches. But I will in addition to this post this question as well to NIK support, because I cannot see where this hang starts to happen - still in t plugin or already in CS4 . Nevertheless, I assume tis should be based on any configuration because CS4 is a mature software and the Sharpener plugin also --- such basic bugs should no more be available - is my assumption. Therefore I thought someone might have had the same issue and knows the solution.
Thanks, kind regards,
Hartmut

Have you checked with Nik for updated plugins?
Most likely the problem is another bug in the Nik plugins, which only Nik can fix.

Not able to use sky drive pro for sharepoint 2013

Hi Friends,
recently i have updated my sharepoint farm to sharepoint 2013 from sharepoint 2010.. due to some reasons I have not visually upgraded a site to sp2013 visual effects but all other sites have been visually upgraded. now, when I try to sync the doc lib
of the site(which is not visually upgraded) I get an error saying this site is running in sp2010 mode hence we cannot sync this doc lib using sky drive pro....I tried to sync it using sharepoint workspace also but still no luck.can any one help me?
this same doc lib is getting synced to my friend system but not my system.i dunno why.please help

Hi,
Yes, it is expected that we cannot sync SharePoint 2010 sites (non-upgraded) with Sky Drive Pro because of the October 2013 update to SkyDrive Pro (KB2825633). However, it should be OK with Sharepoint Workspace.
I will have a test to check how to sync in this scenarios. In the meanwhile, you can also create a service request with Microsoft on this product issue and they will provide fast help.

Using QuickTime 7 Pro for the first time with Windows. What can it do?

Greetings,
After spending almost two hours with Apple reps, I finally figured out where the controls are for QuickTime Pro. I have started to use Miraizon's Cinematize Pro 2 to extract clips as mpeg-4 files (a lot smaller than a QT movie, though maybe it can be made smaller if I compressed it, though I don't know how). Now I wish I knew exactly what I am able to do with my mpeg-4 clip once I've extracted it.
So the question is, having a PC, Windows XP and QT 7 Pro, exactly what features does it have for editing? I opened a mpeg-4 with QT Player and of course have the following to choose from under the "edit" function: cut, copy, delete, select all,select none, trim to selection, add to movie, add to selection and scale, find and preferences. So please tell me at least what I can do with this program and at least how to begin.
By the way, I have a website and use Microsoft FrontPage 2003. I have a combination of video types previously made and sent to me by others; some are .wmv, some are .mov. Now as I use Cinematize 2 Pro, I am creating mpeg-4s. This choice is made because I'd like to keep the file as small as possible without losing quality per se and also I want to reduce to a minimum the problems anyone visiting my site who wants to see the clip might have. Also you should know I insert the movie files onto my websie as plug-ins/MIME files.
I'm new to the list and would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks!

QuickTime Pro is a rather simple editing application and once you learn how to make a "selection" (letter i and o keys) and then fine tune it (Shift and right left arrow keys) you're on your way.
You can also "scrub" through large files by using the J, K and L keys or copy/paste selections into new Player windows.
Dozens of image, video and audio formats can be opened by QuickTime Pro and then "Exported" (converted) to other file formats. It can even open plain text files to use as "titles", narration text for the hearing impaired.
The Windows version can also make "One Click" audio recordings (Mac version can make video and audio files). A simple way to add a narration track to your video. Since QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 tracks and support about 27 languages you can make one file for many nations.
QuickTime Pro is also a very powerful authoring tool.
QuickTime Pro can even create files that view without a "box":
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/D/index.html
Some of my QuickTime files and Web pages as examples:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/RedneckTexasXmas/index.html
It can also be used to make "presentation" files:

What can it do? It's all up to your imagination.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.
