How to use a SANYO HD flash memory camera with a Mac

If you have a Sanyo camera similar to the XACTI that takes HD video in the h.264 format, you may get a green or black screen when you try to run the video. This happened to me, but I found a solution.
--THIS IS FOR LEOPARD OR LOWER (NOT tested on Snow Leopard or higher)--
The camera comes with a CD that has Quicktime on it. I don't remember the exact steps, but you basically have to take the h.264 component from that and put it in your Quicktime plugins folder, replacing the other one. Note that the one on the disc is old, that's OK.
I have an installer for it which I have posted on Macrumors. Google it.
I am not responsible for any damage to your computer, but I have tested this multiple times in Leopard, Tiger, and Panther, and it works perfectly. It also works in iMovie, Final Cut, etc.

Great info, thanks for the post!

How can I know if the software that came with my mac is valid or pirated?

I recently purchased a MBP that came with numerous amount of really expensive software like Adobe Masterclass Collection,Logic 9, Key Note, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro and many more. How can I find out if this software collection that came on the mac are valid or pirated. Is there a app that can scan my mac for serials or to verify the apps? If infact they are legit purchased, how can I put them on my other mac? or is it even possible. For example, Final Cut Pro and logic are from Apple. Could they Verify them?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately, there's not a way to check if they are original or pirated. Also, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro (if it's Final Cut Pro X) and Logic Pro, if they were purchased in the App Store, don't need a product key. My advice is to delete all those applications, and purchase again the applications you need with your Apple ID in the App Store, if they are available there.
That's because you will have problems to update them (as they are registered to the old owner's Apple ID) and you can't use them legally if you haven't purchased the applications

How to use check box in flash 8?

How to use check box in flash 8?

If you want it to happen when someone clicks the checkbox, then you need to add a listener for that event.
var cbListener:Object = new Object();
cbListener.click = function (evt:Object) {
if (cb.selected) {
gotoAndStop(2);
cb.addEventListener("click", cbListener);
(Note: "cb" and "cbListener" are names that were made up for this example. They could be anything you want to name them)

Flash memory camcorder with Mini DV quality

I don't know much about camcorders, but right now I have a cannon mini DV camcorder. I'd like to get a flash memory camcorder with comparable quality. Last Christmas my brother got an insignia brand which he returned due to grainy/jumpy video. Any suggestions?

Was the Insignia brand one of the "pocket" ones? (To my knowledge they only produced "pocket" style cams.)
Nearly all of the "pocket" flash camcorders are cheap and relatively low-quality. In some situations they can perform well, but nowhere near as well as a proper flash camcorder. The Insignia pocket camcorders are even worse. I tried their high definition unit, and it was vastly inferior to even most other pocket camcorders.
To get good quality (comparable to your miniDV camcorder) go for a full-featured flash memory unit like the Canon FS series camcorders.
Unfortunately within the standard definition camcorder market, each camcorder seems to have a major deficiency. Canon FS series use electronic image stabilization and not optical image stabilization. Most of the others lack the external microphone that the FS series does have.
The Canon HF series high definition camcorders are excellent. I have an HF100 and love it. It is more expensive and requires a beefy computer to work with the video, but the quality is great. Canon HF-series camcorders were actually used to film some scenes in Crank 2: High Voltage. (I believe they were used to record in-vehicle video for some of the car crashes.)

Final Cut HD and Flash Memory Cameras

I picked up a Canon FS20 today (just like the FS10, FS100, FS200, etc). I have yet to open it.
I want to buy a flash memory camera that has footage go straight from the camera's memory card to FCP - no additional conversion steps.
Is this possible? If so, which cameras am I looking at?
I have tops $500 to spend, but would rather float around 3-400.
I have FCP 5, and would rather not upgrade yet.

Greetings, other Nick.
Listen, if you buy a tape based camera, it will take at least as long as however many minutes you shot.
If you buy a flash card based camera it usually records in mpeg 2 or mpeg 4. Both formats need to be converted to some format that you can edit with. This will take some time. Use the opportunity to do something else. Like not sit in front of the computer.
What version 5 of FCP do you have - 5.0.x or 5.1.x?
If its the former, time to upgrade. 5.0 is not compatible with your Intel Mac.

How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's?

How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's for Asset Tagging.
It seems Smartcard used for ID cards have a small RF ID, can I use this for Asset Tagging?
Thanks in Advance

There are two kinds of RFID tags: Active tags, which have a battery or other internal power source, and passive tags, which have no power source and work by reflecting the energy from an RFID scanner (basically). At the energy levels and distances used for WiFi location detection, passive tags will not return a detectable signal.
Take a look at http://www.aeroscout.com/ for more info on WiFi RFID tagging.

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

 Hi all, How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ? Thank's 

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

How to use the special character pallet in Maverics with Illustrator

How to use the special character pallet in Mavericks with Illustrator - I follow the help instructions, but the pasted in object looks like a rectangle with an X, I have done this before, in earlier versions of AI, but cannot make it work in CS6.
In fact, I can open an old AI file (CS4), copy the character (a graphic symbol, also taken from the special character set), paste it in, and it works, but can't do this with a new one, from the drop down, Show Character Viewer, in the Mavericks menu bar.

The box with an X indicates the font you are using does not have the glyph you are trying to paste. Try a different font.

Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful.
