HT1414 Please recommend the least expensive option, between MB Pro or Air or perhaps non-Mac laptop?

My non-Mac desktop PC was damaged beyond repair so, I need a replacement. I replaced it with an iPad (iOS 4.3).. For over a year that's worked fine until now...updates started requiring iOS 5.0.  Then I purchased an iPhone with 6.0 a few weeks ago.  The 'wireless' update to 6.1 did not work and the Apple store says the phone is in recovery mode which requires iTunes to update.
My immediate need is to use iTunes to update my iPad (4.3 iOS) and iPhone (6.0 iOS).
I'm looking for my least expensive option between MB Pro or Air or perhaps non-Mac laptop.
Note - I am disabled so it is difficult for me to travel to the Apple store every time I need to use iTunes on a computer. So I'm thinking perhaps a  MB AIr might be a long term solution. Or....  Should I just get the store to update iOS on both devices and forget about a laptop purchase? (assuming 6.1 will allow  wireless updates for future changes and that if either device goes into recovery again iTunes will be required).
What do you suggest?

That is a taffy. Go to the store once and update all devices, with risk of loosing all of the info, that use to be on your phone, but probably gone anyway. And second option is to travel to the store to buy computer, with a very little chance of preserving some info on the ipad, but very high chance of multiple other trips for troubleshooting of all three. Hmm? To Be or not to Be?

  • What is the least expensive option to export to a pdf form from forms central?

    I have created forms in Forms Central and love the functionality but now I want to save it as a pdf file on my desktop and it says I need to purchase Adobe Pro to do this. Is there a less expensive option like the $1.99 Export to PDF that would work for this?

    Assuming your phone is carrier locked to O2, put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on.

  • Please guide me to the least expensive camcorder that will upload to iMovie

    Please help. I'm lost. I have a MacBook Pro with iMovie. I'm going on a fishing trip and want the least expensive camcorder I can find which will allow me to upload the movies to my Mac and edit them with iMovie.
    Thanks for specific suggestions!!!!

    I know a friend of mine bought a small memory card camcorder. I'm not sure what she payed but it was pretty cheap (low $100s). I think she bought it on ebay so I would check there. Here is a list of the recommended / supported camcorders (according to apple)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
    In light of this I believe that almost any memory card camcorder would work (memory chips are pretty standard and there is always the option of a card reader).
    I hope this helps,

  • Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

    Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice?  Thanks!

    Hi Susan,
    It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
    There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
    So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
    Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
    ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
    Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
    Do keep us posted please .
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • I am looking to buy the least expensive high resolution digital video camera to convert/record 8mm video tapes.

    Hi. Thanks for your help in advance.
    I am looking to buy the least expensive digital video camera with the highest resolution I can find in order to use it to record 100s of old (1960s era ) reel to reel video tapes. I am told that in order to do that I must record the "old" video onto a new platform, which means I will set up an "old" projector and play the tapes and record the video on a digital camera. I only want to do this once so I want the highest resolution format I can find. Therefore, I am looking for a camera to purchase. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello Lance,
    Transferring film to digital video is a complex, challenging process.  To cut to the chase, the best way to do this is to engage a firm that specializes in film-to-digital transfer services.  There are quite a few around.  Costs for 8mm transfer range anywhere from about $0.15 - $0.40 per foot and there are usually significant discounts for bulk projects.  Plus, depending on the cost of the video camera you would otherwise consider buying, you may find it costs less overall to use a service than do it yourself.
    You also mentioned that you "want the highest resolution format" ...  Once you project 8mm/Super8 film onto a screen the effective resolution will not even be what we might consider "standard-def" in digital video.  And the larger the projected image the lower & lower the effective resolution regardless of what kind of video camera you might use.
    A transfer service, however, directly scans each frame to digitize them and depending on the math the resulting digital image may technically be as "good" as 720p ... but the overall image quality will still be limited by the quality of the original film ... and still probably not up the level of "standard-def" digital video ... but way better than anything you could obtain with a homebrew projector-screen-videocam setup.
    Why DIY?  Well, it sounds inexpensive and simple.  But in reality it is a very time consuming way to get relatively low quality transfers no matter how high-end or expensive a video camera you use.  I can share more details if necessary, but DIY film-to-video transfer is not the way to go if you are really interested in quality results.

  • What is the least expensive quality chroma key software...?

    What is the least expensive chroma key software for the mac...
    Also, I'm correct that using chroma key does not require that you go frame by frame, right?

    You shouldn't really need 3rd party software, as FCP and FCE both come with decent keying filters, but I have heard good things of the FxFactory. I believe that software does keying (among other things).
    And yes, as long as your green/blue/whatever background doesn't change in hue/saturation/luma inside the clip, you should not have to keyframe.

  • Can any please explain the integration business process between PS and CS

    Dear Guru's
    Can any please explain the integration business process between Project systems (PS) and customer service (CS).
    Business Process: We do machinery Erection or commissioning, later we do provide service warranty for one year.
    How we map this Business scenario in sap.
    Regards,
    Bhanu

    basic steps for such a process would be
    1) Use PS functionality for your machinery erection or commisioning work. Once the physical work is completed then close porject
    2) Use CS functionality for warranty and service - set up the work as a functional location on customer site (PM/CS functionality)
    3) Use service order to manage any service calls on the object which could require billing via SD module - bill value may be zero if under warranty

    your Mac came preinstalled with Garageband and iMovie. both apps offer the main features for podcasts, 99 audio-tracks and all kind of editing stuff, greenboxing, pic-in-pic, titleing..

  • Please restore the Print Preview option.

    Please restore the Print Preview option; no one wants to waste ink and paper if something isn't set right. Generating a pdf is not an acceptable substitute.

    Normally, when you choose Print in a Mac application, you get a Print Dialog Box which has "Preview" as an option. ID uses its own dialog box, but if you click "Printer" you can get to the standard Mac one. But if you then click the Preview button, you  get an error message, "Preview not supported". What normally happens is that Preview launches and you see a version of what will print, which is very useful if you don't know where the page breaks will be in the doc you want to print and don't want to print unnecessary pages. I use it all the time for things like pdf's of airline reservations made by saving the airline web page to pdf. Not sure I'd use it much in ID but I agree that the "not supported" message is a bit weird. One of the good things about Macs is consistency across applications. Why violate it?
