Depending on the Mac model you have, there may be other approaches, and there is always the Final Solution of cracking the case, pulling out the superdrive, and mucking with it directly. But don't go there unless you have to and/or are feeling a bit crazy.

  • How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

    How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

    Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
    Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

  • How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • HT201303 How can i remove my credit card from my apple id

    How can i remove my credit card from my apple id

    Here's some more detail:
    You have to do this from ITunes on your computer.  You can't do it from itunes.com.
    First start ITunes.  On the left side of the screen, go to Store and then ITunes Store.  From the Quicklinks on the right side of the screen, go to Account.  After you sign in, you will see your account and payment information.  Click on Edit next to Payment Type.  Click None, next to Visa MasterCard Amex Discover.  It will then remove your credit card from your ITunes Account.

  • How can I extract the two channels from a stereo track?

    Hi,
    I am writing a class that is able to draw an audio signal. It seems to be working well but I have a question. If I load a mono audio file I am able to draw it on a graph by using the byte[] array and everything is ok until now. That's the code:
    void Draw(byte[] x)
                Graphics g=getGraphics();
                Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
                g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,                     RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
                for(int i=0; i<x.length-6; i++)
                    g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(((i*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-          ((x*(getWidth()-6))/x.length), (((i+1)*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-     ((x[i+1]*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)));
    The results is correct only if I have a mono track. Obviously when I get a stereo track the array becomes very large so here the question. How can I extract the two audio channels from a stereo track?
    Thanks in advance.

    A mono audio stream is stored [sample, sample, sample, sample], so just a list of samples in an array.
    A stereo sample is interleaved in the same manner, so you get [left-sample, right-sample, left-sample, right-sample]
    So every nth sample is the 1st channel, every nth+1 is the 2nd channel...

  • How can I extract a dates column from an ascii file

    I am extracting data from an ascii file and the rest of the data is extracted using read from spreadsheet, but the date appears as just the day e.g. 22 for 22nd, how can I get the date, format in ascii is e.g 22/04/2006, can I do this by specifying something at format of read from spreadsheet ? Cheers
    Emily

    Hi,
    I found the other day that there are instructions included inside the Read From Spreadsheet vi on how to modify it slightly to read strings rather than doubles.
    If you drop the Read From Spreadsheet  vi onto the block diagram and double click on it, you will open the front panel for the vi. If you then select the block diagram (for Read From Spreadsheet) you will see an 'instructions' frame below the main 'code', and the 3rd paragraph tells you how to modify the VI to read the spreadsheet as a set of strings rather then doubles. Save the vi as a new filename when you've edited it or you will overwrite the existing vi!
    Using the newly modified vi you can read in your entire spreadsheet, extract the dates as strings, then do any conversion necessary to the other columns of the sheet to change them into the types of value you require (eg doubles).
    I hope this helps.

    I have changed iphones and created a new apple ID.  How can I transfer a gift card balance from one apple ID to another.  I tried using Itune Gift but it requires the use of a credit card not a gift card.  Any ideas?

    You can't currently transfer an account's balance from one account to another, nor can you use it to gift content. You shoudl be able to use your old account on your new phone, it's generally best just to have the one iTunes account
