Hey you guys need your advice

my mom is convinced that i should get an ipod nano instead of the ipod video. but i want a ipod video. so i was wondering do some of u guys know any where to buy well not cheap but inexpensive ipod videos.

the only place that i have found is on the itunes music store for $1.99. If thats to much well then you can spend $30 for quicktime pro and you are able to save quicktimes videos with it for free and then convert them to your ipod for playback. You can also do a search on these boards with "music video" and there was a few links offered where you can download music videos with quicktime for free. Im sure some peopel will say to use some software but the video from p2p is awful quality.

A new guy needs your advice

Hi people,
I am a new here and just recently decided to start learning SAP - particularily ABAP programming. I am coming from C++ background myself. I 've been told that the best point to start is to get "ABAP Objects" book which will help me up and also comes with mini SAP on CD.
Now reading some general stuff on SAP, I understand that some new version of SAP has been recently introduced, something called NetWeather. So, my question is, do I have to start with traditional R/3 system via "ABAP Objects" book or move straight to new version NetWeather ?
Thanks for your help.

Need your advice on making family videos without losing quality

I need your advice. I don't know where to put my question because I don't know which piece of software I need (so I am posting this in a few places on the forum: sorry). That is exactly the question, I guess.
I have a couple of digital cameras that I use to make family videos. They both produce .avi files. Sometimes I use an iPhone that produces .mov files. So after my children and grandchildren visit, I end up with a bunch of these little videos. I want to combine them into longer videos that I can watch more conveniently on my Apple TV 2 or put on a DVD to send my kids or to my elderly mother-in-law to watch. I know how to combine them using iMovie HD, but that process seems to radically degrade the resolution and/or image quality. The original .avi files are 1024x768 and are very clear and sharp. I can't watch these .avi files on my ATV2 so I've been using Quicktime Player 10.0 to open them and then save them as .mov files. Once I import these files into iTunes, I can watch them on my ATV2 and they too look great on my tv (since they have the same resolution as the original .avi files): sharp and clear. But after I use iMovie HD to combine them (the .avi files) into an .m4v file, they're down to 640x480, and don't look near as good. And the DVD made from this file using iDVD looks equally bad and blocky.
I think what I want to know is, can I change some parameters on iMovie HD to produce files that are as high quality as the original .avi and .mov files? Or if not, what software do I need to accomplish this? I'm not interested in "fancy" movies. These are just home movies, but they are important to us. Should I upgrade my iMovie to do this? Or get Quicktime Pro? Or what? I'd appreciate your advice. I'd like to keep the process as simple as possible.

This is my workflow. I'm sure you will get a variety of opinions, but all I can say for my AVI clips, I've had excellent results for viewing on AppleTV.
I use iMovie HD 6 for organizing the clips into short movies, 15 minutes +/-. Clips are imported into iMovie as DV files. Once the movies are completed, I Export from iMovie as Full Quality, which results in a my-movie.dv file.
I then open the dv file in MPEG Streamclip. There I use the MP4 and iTunes settings for screen ratio and bit rate. 4:3 for Standard Def and 16:9 for High Def. Sounds complicated, but once you open MPEG Streamclip, the settings are simple to figure out.
The main thing to remember about quality is not to upscale your video. If the resolution is 640x480 SD, do not export higher than 640x480.
Here are a couple of screenshots using MPEG Streamclips "Export to MP4" setting:

Weird Access Problems - Really Need Your Advice

This is complex and confusing, and I am not an IT expert. Let me provide background and symptoms:
1) I recently moved and transferred ISP providers from Cox to Adelphia.
2 My setup consists of Mac G5, a Powerbook, and an Airport Station. The internet cable from Adelphia runs into the Airport Station. A cable then runs from the Airport Station to the G5, and the connection to the Powerbook is made via wireless. This setup worked very well when Cox was my ISP
3) My Apple Mail client accesses mail servers at Cox, Adelphia, Gmail, and .Mac,
4) When I made the hookup described in 2) I was no longer able to access Gmail from Safari. However, when I directly connected the Adelphia cable to the G5 (cutting the Airport out of the loop) I was able to access Gmail.
5) Upon review from Adelphia they suggested that I make sure that there no static entries had been placed in the DHCP field. I checked the field using the Airport software and cleared the field (I am not sure if this was static entry or had been placed there by Adelphia).
6) I hooked the computers and Airport up as in 2). Now the Gmail could be accessed from Safari. HOWEVER, now I could not access Adelphia's mail from Safari. Also I found that I could not access some the the web pages that came up as a result of Google searchs. This has never occurred before.
7) Additionally, I found now when directly connected the G5 to the Adelphia cable I could still get Gmail, but I no longer could access .Mac from Safari.
Note: I have gone through the same steps above using Foxfire and get similar results
BASIC SUMMARY: 1) When Airport is in the connections cannot get access .Mac from Safari (but can access Gmail and Adelphia). 2) When the Airport is connected I cannot access Adelphia from Safari (but can access Gmail and .Mac).
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT???: 1) Should I reset the Airport to its original factory settings and reinstall?. 2) Should I clear out the cookies?. 3) Since these are all related to various mail accounts (Gmail, .Mac, and Adelphia) is there something that could be done with the Apple Mail client???
Need your advice!
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

PLB11,
pretty complex indeed.
I would start by running Network Diagnostics with your standard configuration (i.e. the one with the Airport).
In the Apple menu, select System Preferences, Network, then click on the "Assist me..." button on the bottom. That should give you two options: "Diagnostics" and "Assistant".
Try Diagnostics first. If that doesn't solve your problem, run it again without the Airport. If the problem persists, run Assistant and set up a new configuration from scratch, using the original layout with the Airport.
Please post back the results. Good luck!

How do you guys like your GFX5900XT's???

Hey im in the market for a new computer and Ive been searching around for a good video card for the money. Well i came across PCSTATS review of the MSI
FX5900XT.
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1543
It blew me away that a card priced less than half could overclock so high and reach 5950 Ultra like speeds while still being stable.
I came here to ask how you guys find your 5900XTs and what (if any) overclocking issues you may have. Is it really that good?
Thanks

How are you guys powering your laptops in your cars ???

Hi guys,
Although I have been using computers since the first pc appeared, I only recently decided to get a laptop. I got a Lenovo B560 and have been absolutely delighted with it.
However, I am perplexed at the fact that there does not seem to be any easy options for using the laptop in the car on long trips etc ? I do not see any type of 12 volt adapter listed in the accessories ?? A google search shows a few "generic" brand power converters but I have always been leary of using anything but oem type equipment.
Anyway, how are you guys powering your machines while mobile ??
Thanks,
Bill

Your tip size is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, 19volts, and your current adapter is 90watts, right?
Your tip size is the same as what is in the y450, y460, y550p, y550, y560, and the y730.
The y730 is listed under the adapter listed above as taking the 4R 4319 tip, which is the same size as yours.
The tip, Pt. # 46 4319 is listed as an optional tip for the ultraslim adapter, Pt. #4IN8460, that tip has to be ordered separately from the adapter, it doesn't come with it.
Scroll to the bottom of the link for the adapter and you'll see the listing for the 19 volt tip, pt. #4R 4319.
All this is assuming that you have integrated graphics.

Alright guys I need your Advice (Logic Vs.)

Alright guys,
I've been apart of the Logic community for a while now and I've been a Logic and Pro Tools user for some time. Now is
the time for me to get new gear and I would like some advice
My setup:
Mac Pro 2ghz, 2 gigs ram
Apogee Ensemble
Presonus Digimax 96k
With the release of the 003 factory from Digi, I have been tempted to go and trade in my apogee for one and switch to Pro Tools.
The reason being,
1) McDSP plug ins (amazing emulations for cheap, Can't think of anything AU format that is as good)
2) Audio editing (so much more intuitive then Logic right now)
3) I don't use Midi at all and most of Logic is based around Midi
4) Very intuitive mixing console (the 003)
5) Recording audio in Logic is cumbersome (the window pop up with the progress bar,
plus having to manually delete every track that wasn't good instead of just "apple z" undoing the recording like in PT)
Reasons I don't want to do that are,
1) 32 track count max (with pricey add on 48)
2) LE hardware known for being less then grade A converters
3) Digidesign CPU efficiency is know for being crappy
So my options are,
Trade in my Apogee for a 003 board
or
Get a Mackie MCU Pro, some plug ins that are similar
to the McDSP ones and PRAY that Logic gets an update soon
so I can get serious about recording and editing REAL audio.
Even watching the new Soundtrack pro demo involving audio
editing made me wish that Logic had some of that ability.
Anyway, I appreciate any advice you guys can give regarding
this predicament.
Thanks

Hi TWL,
I am also from the Icey Waste Land. It snowed today. It's April 16th for goodness sakes!!!
3) I don't use Midi at all and most of Logic is based
around Midi
That and this ....
5) Recording audio in Logic is cumbersome
.... makes your argument valid I think. I would add that editing audio in Logic is more cumbersome as well.
It seems to me that you don't need to use any of Logic's biggest strengths (MIDI, Softsynth, Score features, etc) and if you are strictly recording, editing and mixing audio, Logic may be overkill.
I will temper that with my opninion that audio in Logic sounds better. Call me crazy but I've noticed this and time again. I often do most of my work in Logic, but if have to do a ton of edits on an audio file I will dump it into to ProTools LE to edit (maybe this is as I've just used PT for years and am still new to logic). Everytime I do this the audio in PT doesn't sound as good or as musical to my ears - and this is with no DSP in either host.
I will keep Logic as my main DAW - but I am using a lot of MIDI etc. I keep PT strictly to edit audio. It is my hope that with experience I will uncover the hidden tricks to edit in Logic as quickly as I did in PT.
My two cents.

Where do you guys get your clients? I need side jobs

Sorry if off topic. I use premiere cs4 and AE. I work for a non-profit org so all my work is for them. I would like to start doing small projects outside of work. I placed ads on craigslist but all i seem to get is spam replys. production hub seems slow. How do you guys put yourself out there? I don't really have any connections.

The MOD's will probably move this to the Video Lounge, as that is the proper place for it, so watch in case it "disappears."
In my case, most of my clients come either from my still client-base, or via word of mouth. Many of the latter seem to come from my circle of "friends," and from people related to my social endeavors, i.e. networking.
One possibility would be to offer to do pro-bono editing for other not-for-profit groups. With permission, add full credits, including contact info. I sit on a few charity boards and we often do some major AV productions for the events. As these involve much more than just editing, and I also have a full "dance card," we use some pro-bono (in kind donations) productions. All of our printed materials have full credits to the production houses, and we ask that each do a full credit portion. For materials that we hand out at the events, or use in pre-event promotion, we ask that those production houses put their credits on the printed discs. This obviously helps us (pro-bono production), so we want to help them. I will also donate editing time, where appropriate, to those suppliers, should they need additional work.
Back when I was shopping my portfolio more actively, I donated my services to organizations like the Denver Art Directors Club, and the Denver Ad Federation. I picked up dozens of clients from the donated projects. It also gave AD's and Creative Directors an opportunity to work with me on the pro-bono projects, so that they knew my capabilities and personality - at no charge to them.
Lot of good comes from doing a "favor" under the right circumstances.
Good luck, and look for this to go to the Lounge.

[Edit] I see that the MOD's DID move the thread to the Lounge. This is where I would have put it too. Hope that the OP finds it here. If they saw any of the early replies, should not be an issue.

Need your advices on MacBook Pro Retina

Hi all !
I'm in the market for getting a new laptop.
To put you in context, I'm a student studying electronics. Normally, I know what I'm talking about ;-) lol
I work as a park supervisor. I could not get a better summer job since I can study while working ! Every day, I sits in the park, turn on my laptop and start coding, reading and studying. Being paid to study is sincerly amazing ! ahah !
So, I study most of the time in the park, on my laptop.
I also have a powerful workstation (Asus P8P67 WS Revolution, Core i7 2700K 4.5 GHz, Asus GeForce GTX 680 DirectCUII, 16 GB RAM, RAID 0 SSD, a beautiful monster) for long works and coding session. I also do a lot of virtualization with VMWare Workstation. In fact, I've built a virtualization concept which segregates each tasks in different VMs.
But, my laptop is an essential tool for me because I use it as much as my workstation. I'm used to carry it at school and at work. So usage is about 50/50 between my Workstation and my laptop.
I started learning the CUDA API and massively parrallel programming. I bought the Cuda By Example book ( http://www.amazon.ca/CUDA-Example-Introduction-General-Purpose-Programming/dp/01 31387685 ). My Asus UL30VT has a CUDA-Capable GPU in it, along with the integrated Intel chipset. So I setup everything for Visual Studio, install the nVIDIA SDK, and start programming.
Here comes the trouble.
Neither Visual Studio nor the nVIDIA SDK (which contains code samples) see the GeForce G210M in my laptop.
I searched a little over the internet and found that the integration of the graphics processors in this laptop is the worst kind of integration ever built in a laptop. The GPU switching technology is the "beta" version of the nVIDIA Optimus technology. The video drivers are more than obselete (197.xx driver version!!!!) and no more recent version is available, even with tweaks.
Absolutely no CUDA code would run in my laptop.
Sure, I could code on my workstation. But it's summer, and being stuck in the house basement while it's sunny outside ... ***** ... lol
And as I said, since I study most of the time (~90%) in my park, it's not very usefull to have a laptop that cannot do what you want anymore...
So I started my research to find a new laptop that would fit my needs. Easier to say than to do...
There is one month, Apple has announced the new MacBook Pro 15 Retina Edition.
I went in an Apple Store to take a look at these nothing else than piece of art.
And you'll guess it : I've fallen in love with this machine.
Thin, lightweight, good battery life, incredible display, amazing hardware. Everything on this laptop is incredible. Even the price ..................
Sure, the non-retina display is also a good machine, but being used to an ultraportable laptop (pre-ultrabook fashion), I would like it to be has thin and light as possible. And the non-retina has less high-end hardware too...
Since I saw this machine, the idea of getting one haunts me!
I tell myself that I could do more shots with one rock. I could learn the OS X environment which is, according to everyone who has an Apple computer, the best working environment ever created. And since I do a lot of virtualization but never could do this with my ultra-low-voltage CPU, the MacBook would also enable this possibility.
More and more programmers are adopting OS X to code. nVIDIA has also said that the new MacBook is one of the best CUDA development platform.
( http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/06/new-macbook-pros-make-for-great-cuda-dev-platfor ms/ ). Sure, I have a long road to go throught before being a real developper, but as you might have seen, I like to work on things that really work well.
So, the 2700$-question : according to you and all the details I wrote here, does a MacBook Pro would be a nice choice for me ?
For this price (in Canadian dollars, I live in Montreal, Quebec), I have the MacBook, the Apple Care for 3 years and VMWare Fusion. It's a 400$-discount that I get because I'm a student (200$ on the machine, 100 $ on the Apple Care, and a 100$ gift card to get the iWork Suite and other softwares if needed).
The Non-Retina model is not an option, since I must upgrade it with SSD, 8 GB RAM et would like a better screen resolution. With all these upgrades, it's even pricier than the Retina which come more equiped.
I've looked to other laptop manufacturers too. Dell offers the XPS 15, but it's bulkier, doesn't feature has much as the MacBook, and I would not pay 1900 $ for a "Dell"......... Lenovo makes great laptop too, but I don't know ... Thinkpad are sure the reference as business laptops, but are heavy and bulky. Maybe I've missed a model... The IdeaPad is a nice ultrabook, but once again, it's an Ultra low voltage CPU, so virtualization would be so-so I guess... And Asus has nothing really exciting avalaible at NCIX (the main Asus online reseller in Canada and also the online shop where I buy all my system components).
One other thing : with all non-Mac laptops, I'm at the "mercy" of the manufacturer regarding GPU drivers, just like my Asus UL30VT... Most of the time, the Verde drivers would not install and you get the very nice message "Please refere to your laptop manufacturer for drivers" ......... -_-"
I request your experience and advice to clarify my choice.
Thank you very much !!!

I was going to try to convince you to go with a PC notebook, but I know nothing about them. As you're concerned about weight, CUDA development, etc., I think that the MBP-R would be an excellent choice. I'm in a wheelchair and carry my MBP around in my backpack on back of my chair, so I don't worry about weight too often...
It sounds as if you're bright enough to be able to learn new things quickly, so there's no need, I think, to go with the usual "if you're already familiar with Windows, why not... etc."
It also sounds as if you've both thought things through and have decided on what you need. My opinion? Go with your gut feelings and thoughts. Just remember that you're going to be on the bleeding edge, somewhat. There are some here who have had problems with their new MBP's - and not just the Retina models. But then, we don't hear about the thousands (tens of thousands?) out there who are having no problems.
Three things to remember - if you have trouble with your new computer during the first two weeks, Apple will replace it, refund your money, whatever. Second, AppleCare (which I always buy) extends your one year warranty and 90-day phone support to a three year warranty with three years of phone support. And third, this is a large community and there will always be someone here who can help you through minor glitches you may have.
Go with your gut - get that new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I'm sure that you'll be happy with it. I would go ahead, though, and pay the $79 for the external USB SuperDrive - not to carry around with you but just as insurance should you ever need an optical drive.
Best of luck,
Clinton

How do you guys use your Moshi Clearguard? (or any other KB cover)

Backing up 9000 + photos, need your advice

Hi all,
Up to this month, my iphoto library is hitting 9000+ photos, mostly kids you know, I do backup my photos to external harddrive and another desktop machine regularly(copy the entire iphoto folder). What is the best way to backup my photos on DVDs? I don't want to mess around with my photo library since I have too many photos to loose. I search around the forum and found there is a known issue on the keywords after backup, is that true? I am a powerbook user, just bought a 800mhz quicksilver recently, I also want to know what is the best way to backup files between my PB and Quicksilver. By the way, I am using iphoto 5.04. Thanks in advance!

Well, you're on the right track with your external HD backups. Yes, there is a problem with keywords when you burn photos from within iPhoto to disc.
The best way to backup your iPhoto Library folder to to copy it intact to the new location. That gives you a complete, working backup in case it's needed. That would be the way to do it between your PB and Quicksilver. Put one in the Target mode or connect them with a LAN, and copy away.
For backing up to discs you will lose your keywords. If that's critical then you'll have to rely on your external HD backup. If not then I'd backup by rolls. That way you'll be assured you get all of your photos.
There is one way you can backup to DVD and keep all information. I've done it with a small library as a proof of concept. That would be to copy parts of your iPhoto library folder to DVD discs, making sure you know how to reconstruct the original library later. Then when needed, copy each disc into a new folder on your HD so that the structure is identical to what is was originally. You will need to select enough items to just fill a single DVD, keep it below 4.5G, label them so you don't duplicate items, and burn. Then select more items for them next disc. The downside with this method is that's it's all or nothing on recovering photos. If you burn rolls from within iPhoto you can recover any individual or group of photos that are in those rolls.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Hey there i need your help as soon as possible!!!!!

I bought an iphone from an iraqy citizen and it is locked up. i am in lebanon and no one can unlock it. what should i do?????????? these are the serial numbers from the back of the iphone model A1332 EMC 380A FCC ID: BCG-E2380A IC: 579C-E2380A
WAITING YOUR SOONEST REPLY
THANK YOU.

Only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can unlock it. You'll need to contact the carrier and ask if you would be eligible for unlocking services. Since the iPhone has not been officially released in Iraq, there's no way to know to which carrier the iPhone is locked; you'll have to ask the person from whom you bought it.
Regards.

I need your advices please

I want to buy a canon camera
and i'm not sure yet
i think that i'll buy this one !!
if you don't agree
please giveme some choices
[Mod note - removed broken link]

The link you provided is not working.
Everything depends on the type of photos you are planning to take and the type of photographer you are when making a choice for a new camera. For instance, if you are the type of person who will always be shooting in the Auto mode, and posting to social media, then most low cost compact cameras should suit you fine. If you want to get a lot of fast action shots, then you may need an enthusiast camera or DSLR. If you are into wildlife, you may want a camera with a long zoom range. If you are into nature photography, then a bridge camera may be your answer.
Deciding factors will include your budget (price range), how well the camera fits in your hands, flexibility of the camera to use other shooting modes such as full manual control, and if you want to shoot in RAW mode as well as JPEG. You will need to let us know a bit more information so that the community can assist you better. Overall, the final choice will be yours as the opinions given may or may not suit your style, but should be a guide in helping you make a more informed choice.
Good luck and hope we can all help you in some way!
