How can I hide recently watched videos in the context menu of programs in Lion (like f.e. VLC player)?

Thanks!

You should go to
system preferences -> general
and change "Number of recent items" to "none". I think just putting "Documents" to "None" is enough, but I am not sure since I've put all three options to none.

How can i delete or clear video from the youtube most viewed?

How can I delete or clear video from the youtube of "most viewed?"

The 'most viewed' can't be edited - it is the videos on YouTube that have been watched most, so apart from the video being taken down from YouTube, or other videos getting more viewings, they will remain in that list.

How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

This works for apps you've acquired, but does not work for built-in features. I am regularly nagged to update Digital Camera RAW Compatibility (currently I'm being nagged about Update 6.03). I've tried the method described above - the steps are available, but they appear to have no effect. I think this is perhaps because RAW compatibility is an element of OSX rather than a separate app. I don't use RAW format with cameras, and have no need for this feature. Even if I did, I have none of the 13 camera models listed in this update.
It is just a nuisance, but if anyone knows how to suppress this I would appreciate instructions.
I would also be curious if anyone can explain why on earth Apple would incorporate RAW camera format compatibility into the core of its operating system. It shakes my confidence in their operating system design.

How can I play ABSOLUTELY LOSSLESS video on the iPad2?

Hi everyone!
I'm creating some test videos for a project I'm working on. I have a sequence of png test images that are 1024x768. I would like to have these images play back on the iPad2 as a video. The catch is that there needs to be absolutely zero mathematical loss in the final video - each frame should be an exact representation of the associated png image. This is not an aesthetic requirement, it's a scientific requirement. I'm doing a study on pixels. Any suggestions?
I've been using the free version of FileApp to load videos onto the iPad and play them through that app. I've been encoding my lossless video into Quicktime in AfterEffects using a variety of codecs, including Animation and PNG, both of which playback on my PC perfectly lossless-ey, but when I try to play them back on the iPad2 they don't play back at all. Some other codecs like the H264 or Jpeg get very close, but there are losses in the final version.
I'm not concerned with file size... I have the 64Gb version and I'm willing to use all of that for this project.
Any suggestions for video playback apps? Preferably free so I can test this lossless requirement without wasting some money first.
Any suggestions for encoders and codec settings?

Well, if you are not concerned about file size, then you can just encode the videos as APNG and then play the videos with https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apng/id447928057. All you need to do is put the xyz.apng file on a webserver somewhere and then copy and paste the URL into the bar at the top of the APNG app. The file will then be downloaded and played. Just be aware that a full screen iPad size video is massive and it will tax the IO subsystem to the limit, so the max framerate you will be able to get on an iPad2 will be about 20FPS. In case this was not clear, APNG is basically the same as a series of PNG images, it is completely lossless.

How can I control a FLV video using the main play bar (not the FLV skin)?

I need to have the ability to play/pause an FLV video in a slide with the main play bar. Research has shown me that in previous versions, there was a "synchronize with project" checkbox that enabled this. I cannot find this in version 8. Is there a different way of doing this?

Hello ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums
Try inserting the video as Multi-Slide Synchronized Video instead of Event Video ,
Then down below there will be an option to Distribute the video across the slides and you can select from Slide n to n ,(Where n is your slide number).
Hope this will serve your need.

How can I stop recent history being displayed in history menu without stopping remembering history altogether

I'm using the latest release (10.0) and am looking for a way to stop the history from being displayed in the History menu without turning off History, so I can still access History by going into the library.

I suppose it would help if I knew not only what you wanted but why, as there are a few possibilities that may help.
You may use private browsing,to stop some events being logged into the history in the first place, you may also clear items,single ones if need be.
* see[[Clearing Location bar history]]
* and [[private browsing]]
You can choose whether or not to display the history as suggested options from the location bar.
* see [[location bar autocomplete#w_how-can-i-control-what-results-the-location-bar-shows-me]]_how-can-i-control-what-results-the-location-bar-shows-me
If you save History, then it can be displayed, I dare say there are methods of removing the button/option to display history from the UseIneterface but it would still be available from the Library.
Another option you may consider is settng up user accounts on the Operating System for different users, or even setting up separate firefox profiles for different users on the same OS account.

How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?

I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now. W
Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers. Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list.
I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow. No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up. I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu. I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work. (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items: it is showing as None. I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back. Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone?

The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.

How can I create a hyperlink directly in the navigation menu using iWeb09?

I would like to add a URL to an external page in the navigation menu of my website using iWeb09. I have not been able to change the URL automatically generated by iWeb09 for each new page. The best I can do is to select text or an image that I want to link to the external page. I would rather create the hyperlink directly in the navigation menu. Is there a way of doing this?

Try this...
Create a blank internal page named "Link" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that "Link" page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.externalpage.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Link" in iWeb’s navbar will immediately redirect to the external page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

How can you create a karaoke video with the music lyrics?

I'm working on a generic music video. I want to add written lyrics to the video so that people watching can follow along with the singing. What is the best way to create trailing lyric highlights to the way the song is sung?

QuickTime Player Pro ($30) and lots of patience.
QuickTime Player supports "text" tracks and, with some special manipulation, can display the text "karaoke" style.
QuickTime Player 7.6.6 (not the X version) can play ".kar" files. Millions of them found on the Web and easy to download. They include MIDI audio (computer generated sound) and are very tiny in file size.

I downloaded a .kar file using QuickTime Player Pro and the Movie Properties window, extracted the text track and then changed the text using TextEdit. I then added my new text track and deleted the original.

How can I HIDE a web Page From the Index above?

I sometimes would like to directly link one page to another instead of listing every single page in the INDEX. For instance, I have a "Renovations" page with two other renovation pages following.....Can this be done from page to page with Hyperlinks ONLY? Is there a way to "hide" the titles in the Index listings above each page so they don't show with the web pages that I DO WANT listed?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Welcome twincrks
You can use Inspector, Page Tab and uncheck "Include
Page in navigation menu", this will stop the page
being displayed in the navigation bar at the top of
the screen.
You can then manually create links to your other
pages (see www.willg4pb.com - Hyperlinks for
creating hyperlinks). Then, again using Inspector,
this time the Link Tab, choose to Link To: One of My
Pages, and choose the page you wish to link to from
the drop down list.

How can I upload a 6GB video to the Nexux 7?

Hi,
I've edited a video in Final Cut Express & divided it into small parts. The first lasts 5 minutes & upon conversion to QuickTime is 6GB. I've tried using "Android File Transfer" but this only works for videos under 4GB. The idea is that the tablet would be present for a newly-married couple and would contain their wedding video.
As there are 11 parts to this project is it feasable (or indeed possible) to upload them all onto a 16GB Nexus 7? Is it better to compress them and if so how do I do it? Having said that would I lose some of the quality in compression? Would it be better to simply upload them to Youtube?
Could someone advise me on the best option, please?
Thanks

You do not want to upload an uncompressed video to Nexus, YouTube, or anywhere else.
Use >File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion ... , not >File>Export>Quicktime .
To set the parameters, check either Vimeo or YouTube for compression settings appropriate for your videos.
With these as a guide, you will not lose a noticeable amount of quality for phone or web playback.

I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.
