Help with Off the Shelf Computer for CS5

Greetings, I am an amateur wildlife videographer. I currently edit HD footage (both tape and card) using CS4, but will be upgrading to CS5 after I get a new computer for it. I have just started to look and have some questions!  I am looking at HP's HPE390t (WIn7 Ult 64bit) Intel Corei7 960X six core Extreme Edition (3.33GHz, 1.5 MB L2 + 12 12MB shared L3 cache Memory 24GB DDR3 HD 2TB Raid 0.  Now comes the question which Nvidia graphics card  should I consider? I am looking at GeForce FTX 285 or better, also considering Quadro FX 3800. Any help is appreciated! Thank You Jean matusik

  • Best $3K off the shelf system for CS5??

    for us newbies...what
    would be the Best $3K off the shelf system for CS5??
    thx

    ok...dell and hp steal
    you blind on necessary upgrades...is the customer support and "security" offered by
    them a good enough trade off with the "build it yourself/have it custom built" danger of not knowing what to do if/when things go wrong?
    i am just looking to do low level (but high quality) professionasl stuff...i.e. budget weddings/training/memorials/recitals etc. and feel i am not far enough along on the high tech learning curve...but moving as fast as i can.
    ALSO...and maybe this is another conversation...but:
    is the miniDV tape (for SD and HDV) about over now and are we comletely into the "tapeless" video era?
    thanks for all your help.

  • Help with choosing the right specifications for a Macbook Pro Retina?

    Opinions needed....
    So I'm new to Macs, but I know what I want to achieve and I feel this is the right route to choose. I'm looking at delving into the world of music production, using Logic pro 9 and garageband, but I also enjoy watching High definition Movies and televison so I know that the Retina display is definatley the right choice for me. However, I'm unsure on the amount of RAM & Which processer I should choose. I have read a fair bit on forums and online about the new retina macbooks being 'locked' from upgrading, so the 16GB of RAM is an immediate choice for logetivity.
    The choice of processor is when I start to become clouded in my choice. As forementioned, I'm looking at running logic pro, as well as high def movies. There is also a possibilty at looking into photo and video editing, Whether that be in final cut pro or photoshop... But I want to leave my options open.
    I think the choice of 16GB of RAM, 2.6Ghz processor, with a 256GB hard drive ( as i have 1.5TB external space) would be a good choice. Once I've added on applecare that comes out at around £2350, Which is a significant investment, but one that I think will help me immensely for the future. I am interested in other peoples opinions on my possible choice because, as I said before, I'm new to the world of Macs and making the right choice is essential. As a side note, the choice of upgrades also ensures a reasonable resale value, which is a bonus.
    Regards

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

  • Need help with setting the entry point for application

    Hi there,
    I am kinda new to creating JAR files for application. I checked out the tutorials for creating the jar files, and I understood most of the concepts. There is one part in the tutorial which I still don't understand
    it says:
    We want to execute the main method in the class MyClass in the package MyPackage when we run the JAR file.
    We first create a text file named Manifest.txt with the following contents:
    Main-Class: MyPackage.MyClass
    I am not exactly sure what the package is. Is it the name of the jar file, which I wish to create? Your detailed explanation would certainly be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    Young

  • Need help with changing the product name for a HP LaserJet Pro 401n to use on a ePrint network.

    I am in a school environment, naming printers is imortant. 
    Bonjour Service Name and Device Description name have been changed. IOS7 devices see the Bonjour name but ChromeBooks see the Product name. How can I change the Product name on the printer so that it is then recognized by HP Connected and shown to ChromeBook devices?

    You should be able to change the product name in Google Cloud.  The ChromeBook uses Google Cloud to print (Google Cloud uses HP ePrint).  Log into your google account and change the printer name there.

  • Off the shelf portable-ish computer?

    Hi there, I'm looking to purchase an off the shelf, somewhat portable computer to run flash media live encoder for some webcasts.  I will probably be using the black magic or osprey capture card.  I figured the i7 chips are enough power, but I cannot tell which of the computers have a direct line of access to the processor from the PCIe slot.  Perhaps I am asking for too much out of a small form factor computer and I'll need to get a desktop, but just wanted to see if anyone out there is using something like this.  I will need to buy two of these machines so that I have a backup.
    Also if anyone has a laptop solution with a capture card that accepts HD-SDI, i'm all ears to that as well. Thanks for your help everyone.  I appreciate it.

    To add to my comment above, I just tested the new Dell Precision M4600  (2.3GHz Sandybridge quad i7-2827QM) laptop with the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 device and seems to work great.  I tested with the Kulabyte encoder and Blackmagic 8.x drivers, but since FMLE also seems to support the Blackmagic drivers I suspect it will work as well.
    The Intensity Shuttle is USB powered and has HDMI, Composite, and Component (HD) inputs.  Blackmagic also has the UltraStudio SDI which is a USB 3.0 SDI capture device and is USB powered and they have the UltraStudio Pro which is like the Intensity+SDI, but this one is line powered.
    This laptop also has Firewire and an ExpressCard slot so you can use Firewire capture devices, PCI capture devices like Blackmagic in an expansion box, or USB 3.0 capture devices.

  • Off-the-shelf graphics cards... any luck with Lion?

    I've been hearing online ramblings about Lion being compatible with some off-the-shelf graphics cards and Wikipedia says the Radeon 6XXX HD cards are compatible, but has anybody tried any cards that aren't clearly labeled as Mac compatible?  I know, I know, only the "Made for Mac" cards are supposed to work but I'm hearing too much online to be satisfied with that response at this point.
    The GT 120 is just tired and I want the power of the 5870, but $400+ feels unfair.  I know it's only been out for a day, but I'm already itching to hear if anybody has tried anything new with Lion.

    Tried a XFX HD 4670 Radeon. Once booted everything works fine. Here are my findings:
    No boot up screen (therefore ability to change start up drive) expected based on other discussions
    The card seems to think that I have a second monitor connected - and I was not able to find a way to make it think otherwise.
    Overall the card was speedy and boosted my xbench and geekbench scores - but for now I am back to my GT120..

  • Off the shelf Flash chart with live update and slider?

    Does anyone know of any good off the shelf Flash line chart
    that has
    1. Live AJAX-type update of data (without reloading entire
    Flash chart)
    2. Horizontal axis slider to be able to zoom in (like the
    time slider on Google Finance)
    I have been using
    XML/SWF
    chart chart but find that its live update is clunky.
    Is doing a custom chart our best bet?
    Thanks! Chirag

    Hi,
    it was a bug, corrected in patch 4.0.1 (bug 9868860), see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/401-patch-166923.html#BABJCAFA.
    It's why it don't works with APEX 4.0.0.

  • Lightroom OEM vs Off the Shelf

    I purchased Lightroom 5 from an Amazon vender. The case is labeled, "FOR OEM BUNDLING ONLY" and "For bundling with computers, digital cameras, scanners, and inkjet printers only. Not to be sold separately." My question is: Does this disc contain the same full version of Lr5 that I would get if I bought it off the shelf at a computer or electronics store?

    yes - the software is the same (and is complete). granted you won't get all the same "trimmings" (documentation, packaging, ... ) along with it.

  • How to change the "home" computer for a iPod touch 3G (iOS 4.2.1) and an iPad 2(iOS5)? Music library has been already moved to iTunes on the new computer.

    I have a iPod Touch (3rd gen) that has not upgraded it's OS beyond iOS4.2.1 even if I have tried connecting it into iTiunes I have a iPad2 which has been recently upgraded to iOS5 . Both were connected to a laptop computer that my husband will take with him when he moves to a different city. I will most probably buy a second laptop sometime, but meanwhile I want to tether my iPod touch and iPad 2 to my desktop PC for now. Before I took the plunge, I had a few questions which I am hoping this forum will help me answer
    1. How to switch the Home PC for these devices? I have already transfered my Music library on to my Home PC and then downloaded and reorganised with iTunes. Since I am reorganising the library anyway I don't minding removing all my music from the iTouch and set it up from scratch for the music. However, I removed all musci from theiTouch, changed it to manual mode and connected it to the desktop- It's detecting it fine- but it still is not the home computer for the iTouch- everytime I try to put new music in it- it is deleting everything old- I can't see the same controls as I see from the laptop at all- how to rectify this? To I need to set this up as a new iPod (restore route)?
    on the touch I have very few apps and don't care about them. on the iPad I do have a couple of valuable apps that I want to hold on to- so have n't tinkered with it at all- what is the smoothest way for thsi transition? The iPad doesn't have any music on it at this time, but what to do if I want to transfer some?
    2. Is there a way I can store the organised iTunes info in any way- like I said I might buy a new laptop in a few months but do not want to reorganise my iTunes over agaoin- it' a fairly large collection most of which is n't purchased from the iTunes store.
    3. Why sin't my iTouch 3G upgrading- it's stuck on iOS4.2.1 but iTunes doesn't show any updates- even with chck updates button iTunes show that it is a current version.
    thanks for reading through and any help that I can get to sort this mess out.

    The recent release of iBooks 1.2.1 has corrected the problem of the missing Dutton edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It may have been there with the previous install of iBooks but it would never display in the bookshelf. After updating iBooks to 1.2.1, the Dutton version (the one included with iBooks) suddenly appeared on the bookshelf. So it was a software glitch after all and not a fix Apple chose to document explicitly in the update.

  • Help With Choosing The Technology

    Hello,
    I need help in choosing the appropriate technology for the application that I'm going to be creating.
    The characteristics of the system that have been decided until now:
    Standalone app built on either Flex/Flash/AIR
    Restricted to using the system on a single computer, hence can be a tightly coupled system
    The server component of the system needs to be closed source and robust, for which im thinking something like a Java backend,etc,etc.
    In a completely new environment, all that i need to be able to do is install just the AIR application and not worry about installing extra stuff for the server support.
    Thanks In Advance for anyone who can help me out with this.

    If you are saying you want the server component to be on the same machine as the Flex app, then your choices are severely limited due to the sandbox, unless of course you are using AIR, then you can just use the SQLite database.
    But if there will be a sevrer component on another machine on the web, you could use BlazeDS, and like I said, its free and very robust.

  • May a recent i Mac be installed as the host computer for a wireless community

    May a recent iMac be installed as the Host Computer for a wireless community. The present situation is; the iMac is subservient to the e Mac. I do not want to have two computers. I have one guest on the wireless.

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.

  • HT4527 I transferred my library to a new laptop and everything appeared on the screen. I turned off the old computer and the library disappeared. How can I make it a permanent transfer as my old computer is being scrapped. Thanks

    Hello Terryfrank,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer. 
    I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article. 
    With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up.  The last step is to import the content to your new computer.  Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
    Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    Wait for the content to finish transferring.
    Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.
