How do you do this pan effect?

I want to do this certain effect on video where the camera pans or zoom really fast and you see a blur and streaks of lines. (You see it in a lot of transitions between shots) I tried doing this on FCP alone... by retiming the exact moment of the pan to make it faster, and adding a simple blur effect. I'm not able to achieve this effect because I can never make the pan fast enough or streak of lines.to appear. So now I turn to Motion, and I've never worked with Motion before. Does that all make sense?

I've done this and the easiest way is to shoot it yourself.
Hold the camera out as far as is comfortable (the lighter the better, in this instance a domestic camcorder will suffice.)
Then simply pirouette as fast as you can maintaining your balance. Try a variety of backgrounds - daylight is best - and a variety of angles.
Oh and be careful not to get dizzy and lose your balance - falling over can be rather embarrassing.
P.S. It's probably best to avoid performing this close to the water's edge, near cliffs, Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon etc... (Y'know Health and Safety and all that...)

Thanks for the reply,. I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue.
Even more details:
If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account. No other accounts on the machine are effected.
I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

How do you fix this error? Can't access photos Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable

How do you fix this error? Can't access photos----" Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and use a new library then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How would you realize a "blinking"-Effect

The question narrows down to : Which is the best solution to trigger each 0,5 seconds an event (on the JavaFX thread) ?
I could do this with a TimelineAnimation or with a Task<Void>, the problem withthe Task is that I have to update the UI with Platform.runLater() each time which is an impact on the overall perfomance. On the otherhand the TimerLineAnimation is useful to update a property and I do not think that it is the approriate method to realize a blink effect.
How would you do this ?
E.G. I have a circle. This shape is supposed to change its Color every 0,5 seconds (And there can be many of this circles..)

I would use some kind of Transition, not because of any performance consideration but merely because it will keep your code cleaner. Used properly, a Task with Platform.runLater(...) to update the UI will be as efficient as anything else, but it can be a bit tricky to get it right (and using Transitions, you delegate the job of getting the code right to the JavaFX team, who are probably better at this kind of thing than either you or I).
The Timeline will actually animate the transition between property values. Almost anything you want to do can be expressed as a change in property; your example of changing the color of a Circle simply involves changing the value of the fillProperty. So using a Timeline will fade one color into another.
If you want a "traditional" blink, you could two PauseTransitions with the onFinished event set to change the color.
This compares the two approaches:

How can i apply this glowing effect in logo with illustrator?

I would make several copies of the original artwork. On each copy, section the individual areas to be gradients. It looks like you have at least four gradients, both linear and radial. It's just a matter of building each section and then reassembling each. Not too complex, yet nice piece of artwork.

i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace the OS9 on my G4 tower with the created iBook ghost image. How do you do this?

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace OS9 on a G4 tower with the Ghost image. How do you do this? Will my applications still work?
The iBook is running Pather, i have tons of programs i use on it, project files, etc... and my G4 Mac tower is more powerful, faster, and more reliable than the iBook. I basiclly just want to take the entire OS, programs and files... create an image, and drop the image on the G4 Tower so it basically will function just like the iBook. Like a mirror image of everything that is on the iBook. I know that you can create image files in the Disk Utility on Panther, but will that back up the entire OS with settings, programs, files and all? ive never done anything like this before, so i wanted to post this up to see if i would get an answer. In the meantime, im reading "Mac OS X, Help Desk Essentials By Owen Linzmayer" to see if i can find the steps to do this.
Any help would be greatly apprciated. Much thanks!

Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other. The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *. This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Then apply the correct update
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower. Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM. The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
It's likely a hardware issue. The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
Use this article first:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem. You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options. If within warranty it should be free. If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

Contact Apple and see if they can provide any documentation of the device swap.

My iPhone is disabled, and I need to restore it, how do you do this?

So I was just on the phone with Apple, and apparently you now have to pay for help on the phone? Stupidest idea ever, but what are you going to do? Anyways, some of my friends thought it would be funny to disable my phone, and now it says "Connect to iTunes" and whenever I connect it to iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "jakes iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." How do they expect me to enter my passcode when it's disabled? How do I fix this, it's bugging me that I can't get into my phone. Also, I heard you have to restore your iPhone, how do you do this? I don't know how the new iTunes works, it's really frustrating.
P.S- When I tried to restore it, it says "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone "jakes iPhone" to it's factory settings?"
I don't want to restore my phone to it's factory settings, that's what it doesn't get.
The point of the passcode is so that it doesn't get any person information taken away. But what's the point if this happens? I mean, either way, I have to delete all the crap anyways to get it working again... Please help me, thanks.

The point of a passcode is to protect your information from "friends" who do things to you like they just did. They have disabled your device and you have to restore your phone in iTunes. Hopefully you have performed a backup recently and you can restore from that backup. As far as paying for support, you don't have a mechanic diagnose and repair your car problems without paying so why would Apple or any other company not charge for support? However, any charge that you have to pay for support to fix this issue......I would have my so called friends pay the bill.
