How do i make a certain IM like Adium automatically appear in my dock?

I've downloaded Adium but i have to look click it from the application menu for the icon of adium to appear on my screen's dock. I've downloaded skype and it automatically appears on m dock every time i start my computer. How do you I make the icon automatically on my dock?

Simply drag the application icon onto your dock and drop it.
You can even go as far to have the program automatically start up when the computer boots up by right click on the application's icon and clicking "Open at Login".
Hope this helps!

How do I make an app running in the background appear in the dock?

I've tried searching the rest of the web, but all I can find is how to pin an app to the dock. I already know how to do that.
What I want to do is make an app that doesn't appear even when it's running (my specific case is SugarSync) appear as an icon in the dock. I know I can get to it by either clicking or right-clicking on the mini icon on the right side of the menu bar, but I want to be able to switch to it using the dock or open-apple+tab, like I can with everything else.

It depends on the data path from the tower you're using, through NATs and many routers, all the way back to the server. Which depends on your current location and sheer luck.
For some users, the data path stays alive for 30-45 minutes at a time... thus the phone only has to ping the server that often for push to work. Their push doesn't use much battery.
Other users have the misfortune of being connected via pathways that only keep a connection alive for 5-10 minutes. Their iPhones eat battery like crazy, and they usually end up switching to a 15-30 minute timed fetch instead.

How do I make multiple movies look like one?

I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
small flash animation. The final published flash file is
approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
(to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
multiple movies look like one?
Thank you.

Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
next movie?

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires. Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it. I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time. However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources. I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open. It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems. The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

How do I make 29.97fps look like film?

Sorry for the novice questions, but all of my footage has been shot on a relatively inexpensive camcorder which records at 29.97fps. Is there any easy way to make it look like a 24fps film when I play it back on my NTSC television?
I am relatively new to FCP but I have started learning compressor and I also heard about a program called 'Nattress?"
Any help would be appreciated!!!
-Brian

There have been endless discussion and tutorials on how to make 29.97 look like film, so I would also check Google. One of the more commonly known plugins that will do this is called Magic Bullet. But be aware, there is only so much that can be done with DV footage shot on a relatively inexpensive camcorder (I'm assuming DV). Most "film effects" plugins will provide you with a nice number of presets that will soften your image, simulate pulldown, add grain, and do some heavy color correction. But they can't invent pixel data that isn't there to begin with.
What really makes shooting on film so unique and eye catching is that if you can afford to work with it, chances are you can also afford high quality lenses and professional lighting. Things like motion blur, grain, lack of color sampling and a high dynamic range are what give film a unique look. Personally, I think getting a true "film look" for DV is a bit of an impossibility, but people have done some nice stuff with these plugins. Unfortunetly, until the really high end video formats make it into our Handycams, I think we're stuck with simulating the effects, rather than duplicating them.

How do I make Flash not look like it's not responding?

When I run a JSFL script that is pretty intensive and in depth, Flash opens up but doesn't draw itself, and lists "not responding" in the window title bar.
My question is how can I make Flash look like it's alive (either have output show up in the output window, or have the stage update to the current frame that is navigated to from JSFL script, or put up some dialog box like the export movie progress bar)? The script sometimes takes about 20-40 seconds to run and the user may think that it's actually crashed.
I print out times of all my processes and functions, and eventually I get an output that seems reasonable. I thought printing output might help, but there doesn't seem to be a flush command for it that will force it to be written out.
Thanks.

How do I make a text stretch like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYI9tK3o2YY
Heroes word stretches at first. How do I make that? I've glowed it like there, and blurred out like that. But I can't figure out how to strech it.
Also, how do I create those red circles around "O" at 6th second, tutorial would be nice. I'm fairly new to this program.

I can't see what you've posted due to network restrictions where I work, but the text stretch sounds like stuff you could accomplish by a combination of animating the scale and some of the distort effects (like Bezier Warp, Corner Pin, Mesh Distort, etc.)
Red circles might be particles, shape layer(s), or Radio Waves depending on how it looks (again, I can't see it).
If you're new to AE, I highly recommend you start here first: [link] Go through all of the resources that page links to. It will get you up to speed on the basics of AE which will remove a lot of the frustration a newcomer can experience.

How can I make a photo look like it's on a 3D Box Canvas?

Hi,
I have been scratching my head trying to figure out a way to make a photo look like it's wrapped around a wooden frame, like on a box canvas. I'm not concerned with the canvas texture, I just want to know how I can apply an effect or an action to a single image to give it depth. Any ideas?
Ross

the one i posted was a psd file using a smart object. Double click the smart object it then opens a new file, you add the photo you need, as you from the example that image is wide screen, my photo wasn't, so you use the 2nd file to make the photo fit how you want, then save and it then alters the original file, hence smart object. The background too was one, hence the perspective.
The splicing etc is ok , as you say if you have an odd one to do.
So essentially you make up the smart object once and then reuse. As you woudl need to make the canvas / canvas's into several templates for your liking, be it square / portrait / landscape or even spread over several canvases
The example i showed here is an illusion, but a pretty good one, It NOT 3d. Its done with shadows, this is the smart object.
as you see its just a perspective rectangle with the top and bottom left cropped off for the depth.
these are the psd layers as you see there are only 5, its not an action, but googling i did see an action, i think it was $35. But as i said bear in mind the amount of possible boaard canvases you may want.
2 of the other layers as you see are for the lighting and the top one is the 3d illusion effect, this particular one has the canvas effect too. I can't remember where i got this one from. I think graphic river do 3d canvas though, there will be others.
Another thing to consider if using an action is if it can do multiple boards. like ...
again just to show you before the illusion
Pretty much example like the emboss effect you can use, all done with lighting and darkness.

How can i make it? (something like 'Feather effect')

Hi.
I get some object to other design company.
There is AI file in URL(illustrator CS3 version file)
http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/f873f882
it's looks like 'Feather effect'. but it's not.
it's not possible to copy to below Script code.
Sel[i].duplicate(newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
So i started wonder about it.
How can i make this object?
and, How can i copy this object to script code?
Thanks you.

ohh.. thank you for your reply. But, I found another problem.
Copy is not problem. Real problem is 'translate'.
I want copy and translate to right side.
my source code is :
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Sel = aDoc.selection;
var aLayer = aDoc.layers.add();
var newGroup = aLayer.groupItems.add();
Sel[0].duplicate(newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
newGroup.translate(10, 0);
this is capture image.
I did run script five times.
Object was translate. but circle was not translate.
And, i upload Appearance palette capture image too.
It's not image. It's Path.
If you Know solution, reply for me please.
thank you pixxxel.
