I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.

1. Insert your DVD.
2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

Good afternoon. I have created a Form in Indesign, imported into FormsCentral. I would like to post this onto a webpage. It is currently an iPDF. How would I go about doing this. I cannot 'Place it'. Thanks

The only way to use Forms Central would be to export it the method that gives you the embed code (can't remember what the actual term is off hand) and then use Object--->Insert HTML and past your code in.

How would i go about doing this?

Hi, im quite new to programming so go easy on me.
I have got a string. I want to break it down into sub-strings. There are certain ascii characters within the origional string that determin where the sub-string should end. I want to get 4 sub-strings out of the origional string.
Anyone know how I would go about doing this? I dont want to use any packages either. Just plain java code.
thanx
CKS

> Would there be no way of going through every
character in the origional string and placing it into
another string if it doesn't equal say the letter
'b'. Then upon reaching a letter 'b' it will skip
that out and go carry on, but putting the rest of the
letters into another string...?
Sure. Have a look at the String docs:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html
Especially the charAt(...) and substring(...) methods.

How would I go about doing this type of compositing in AE??? Help?

Hey everyone,
I have a question regarding specific footage I have shot:
http://vimeo.com/13846546
password: ski
Now the steadicam shot I used (I have done something similar for the actual music video) I would like to have 3d text/objects 'pop-up' from behind the artists shoulder and follow him for a few seconds as he says certain parts of his lyrics during his walking shot.
I'm assuming I will have to do things like 'tracking' and 'camera solving' and also probably have to mask the subject to have the 3d objects appear like they are 'behind' him...as well as lighting the objects that I would prob have to creatd in Maya/Photoshop CS5 (which I have access to) etc etc etc.
That's my main problem...I just don't know AE well enough (albeit I'm quick to learn) and I basically need to know specifically what I need to be doing here to achieve my ideas.
I've seen some basic "how to add 3d text to video" tutorials but they are all for static shots and in this case you can see that's not the case here.
Can anyone please provide some workflow insight?
I'm not looking for an easy way out here but any direction to make this process a bit less error free would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for any help in advance.
If I'm not being clear enough about what I'm tryin to do please let me know and I will clarify as best I can.
Much thanks in advance!

I'm afraid you can pretty much forget all that because the video was shot the wrong way in the first place. The camera is far too close in and the artist obscuring too much of the background to get a stable track. His gestures would throw off the tracker, also. Aside from that, due to how it moves, you would have to do it for every shot separately and still need to manually matchmove sections where the motion is simply too fast. Additionally, you cannot go creative with contrast and color. This needs to be shot as neutral as possible. In some of your footage there is nothing but black shadows and while that may be due to the color correction, I doubt the original sources look that much better. so ultimately, you are stuck with those techniques for static shots and throwing a lot of manual work on top of it to make it work in the few shots where it may be possible to kinda match the camera..

Need help on how to help my sister register her new nano and add music to it on my computer. I have my on nano already on my computer registered and set up but she and I don't listen to the same music so how would I go about doing this?

I'm trying to find out information on how to go about helping my sister to register her new nano and load on CD's and such. I have a nano and already know how to do this but she is from CA and we want to load it here on my computer. She will be going home in 2 weeks and wants to use it in the car for the ride home.We don't listen to the same kind of music so I don't want to use my library but do one of her own for her. Also she will want to add this library on to her computer at home. I'm 60 and my sister is 70 I have enough knowledge to do some things on the computer but am not real computer smart. My sister is just learning about everything but has no idea what to do with that knowledge. Can anyone give me and idea on how to do this that I can get a grasp of what needs to be done to do this? My nephew says it's easy but he's in Az and I'm here. He also helps people with computers so he is more knowledgeable than I am. Would appreciate any help on this. thx

HT1473 I have a whole bunch of CDs that I would like to import into iTunes. However, I'd like for them to be stored "in the Cloud" as opposed to on my PC, which would simply take up too much space. How would I go about doing this? Thanks so much

I have a whole bunch of CDs that I would like to import into iTunes. If I do that, would the songs still reside on my PC (which would take up too much space), or is there a way to get them "into the Cloud"? Thanks so much

Sign up to iTunes Match, though I'd consider investing in more storage. If space is a problem now then you're probably not backing up your existing media and content, which you should most certainly do.

I'd like to do a fresh install on a macbook air running 10.9.4 and manually restore programs and files from time machine. How would I go about doing this?

In the past I've always just run a full backup from time machine, but my computer is just getting way too full and its performance is a little sluggish.   If there's any way to to just reinstall all the programs without user files, and then manually restore user files on an as needed basis, that would be ideal.
Also, should I just reinstall mavericks using the command + R function?
Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks.

Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

This copy of itunes is corrupted and is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes...How would I go about doing this ?

I just downloaded the current update and received this error message.

Remove iTunes via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel as you would any other program you wish to uninstall.
Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and install the current version of iTunes.

How would you go about doing this? (some broken links)

Okaaaayy,
Let's say every link in your document has broken and you now have to go back into it and relink everything before print time tomorrow...
Sure, no problem, but why did it happen.
I know that if you rename a file or folder or move a linked image file out of it's original location, the link in Indesign gets broken, but what about surrounding/encompassing folders? Seems kinda weird.. but to provide an example I included a picture of how I have the uber-structure set up.
What I actually did was rename (I think I did.) the "UBER"-folder's name
"Prepress guide pages/ image links"
What's inside of that folder is another folder for each page in the document with another separate folder for 'linked images'.
MUSTA BEEN A BAD MOVE TO NENAME 'PREPRESS GUIDE IMAGE LINKS' BECAUSE ALL LINKS ARE BUSTED NOW.
frikkin' indesign.
Honestly, I never changed names or moved anything else, in fact..
I spent most of my time organizing what you see on the picture here..
minus the details... lol
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/coffeyville1975/Picture4-4.png

You changed the name of a folder containing your links. InDesign is
still looking for the old folder name and won't go any further until it
finds it.
You really have a bit to learn about proper workflow but you'll get
there. These types of mistakes are the kind that you usually only make
once and learn from.
One more piece of advice...lose the slashes in file names. They're not
cross platform and you won't always be working in a vacuum.

I have a full sketch in Illustrator that I want to make symmetrical, how do I go about doing this?

Hey guys, I'm somewhat new to Illustrator and I have a scanned in sketch of a man's face that I would like to make perfectly symmetrical. How do I go about doing this? Thanks in advance!

Justin,
You may redraw either half with the Pen Tool (or another tool) and reflect a copy.
And you may go a step further:
It is quite possible to create a symmetrical drawing live with the help of Illy, with the inbuilt tools, without any external plugins, if you just start in the right way. Obviously, it is much better to see the whole appearance while you create it.
You may see the reflection live after each Anchor Point if you start out as follows (for Pen Tool with vertical reflection to the right, similar for other directions):
1) Create the first two Anchor Points of your basic path;
2) Effect>Distort&Transform>Transform>ReflectX with 1 copy and the middle right side Reference Point chosen;
3) With the Pen Tool ClickDrag (or Click) anew from the second Anchor Point and go on;
If you wish, you may:
4) Object>Expand Appearance and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the half paths.
Ctrl/Cmd+Z Undo is your friend: you can just go back and redo while drawing the basic path.

I have purchased the VGA Connectors for both a iMac and Macbook Pro so that i can connect my promethean board projector to the computer and I can not get the image on the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work. I just heard adaptors burn out often. So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best. I will get one once I move.
Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland. I know there are no Apple stores there.
An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

I have purchased a new computer and I want to upgrade to lightroom 5. How do I go about doing this when LR4 is currently on my old pc? Thanks!!!!

Just install Lightroom 5 on the new machine and activate it using the serial number from your purchase. You do not need to have the older version installed though you might need information from it.

I am looking to purchase my recent download of LR, not subscribe to Creative cloud. How do I go about doing this?
