I have scanned about 1600 pages of 100-year old documents and saved them as pdf files. I would like to search them for keywords and phrases. Can anyone recommend software that can be used as an index for these documents?

If you have Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) the program can perform an OCR on the document you acquired.
In the past I used ABBYY FineReader

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors

Hello Apple Community
Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors/defects/corruption?
I've been having problems with hard drive for months and it finally froze on me so I reformatted and restored from Time Machine.
Everything is fine now but I just have a feeling I will see the same problems occur because I simply restored to the exact moment from where I was having problems (i.e. Finder crashing/permissions issues/Volumes unmounting/Trash not working/Random error messages/Computer crashing when opening or saving PNG).
I read that sometime Disk Utility doesn't always pick up on a defect or corrupt hard drive. The whole time I was having problems Disk Utility said HD was ok.
Is there software that can do a better job of scanning hard drive for errors and let me know if I need to get HD replaced?
Thanks
Brad

I agree with both. Most important though is you backup your data frequently*:

That way if a problem should arise, and it is a result of the hard drive actually dying, you won't accidently kill the hard drive in the process of trying to detect errors.

Can anyone recommend software for converting mpeg files to FCP compatible files?

Currently working with FCP 10.1.3. Would like ability to re-edit / cut and slice mpeg files from other movie editing software (i-movie and studio 15). Would appreciate any recommendations for conversion software that I can download via the app store. Thanks

MMPEG Streamclip. Depends on what kind of MPEG, 1, 2, 4 and whether it's muxed or in VOB files or some other wacky concoction.

Can anyone recommend a VERY easy to use program for creating a very basic app for my iPhone4?

I just want to be able to enter a few fields of data and have it emailed to my office. Any suggestions? I am not a programmer, so easy is the key word here.
I work for a craft brewery and I want to be able to enter some basic repedative info from kegs of beer and how the beer pours back to our brewery for quality controll.
Thanks gang!

This is easily accomplished using HTML5 and JavaScript. In this case, the most difficult part will be encoding the mailto URL. Most people don't realize that the you can stuff an entire email message into a mailto URL, not just an e-mail address.
In this model, you would compose a web-page (one or more files) and include a manifest file (that lists the files used for that page), and reference the manifest file in the page itself. You would then browse to the page, and save a bookmark to the page on the phone's springboard (an icon on the home screen). By including a manifest, all the files that make up the page are copied to your device and you can use the application locally.
In fact, HTML5 on iOS permits you to write databases, draw graphs, make animations, etc. What you can't do is access other apps from within the HTML5 app (outside of using URLs).
In your particular scenario, though, if there's network connectivity in the brewery, I would suggest a regular web-application on the phone and write a little front-end to some database. You also have options like FileMaker Go, Numbers for iPhone, etc.

Can anyone recommend software for graphic project management?

Can anyone recommend a backlit keyboard to use with the Macbook Pro?

I like to hook my laptop up to a larger monitor and work that way while at home with an external keyboard hooked up by usb. I am using an older mac keyboard but its hard to see the keys if the room is not well lit. Can someone recommend a backlit external keyboard to use with the macbook pro that has a number pad? This seems really hard to find for some reason... Thanks!

Logitech makes a USB-powered backlit keyboard but it is for Windows PCs. You should check its Web site to see if it has a similar one for Macs.

High sample rate data acquisition using DAQ and saving data continuously. Also I would like to chunck data into a new file in every 32M

Hi:
I am very new to LabView, so I need some help to come up with an idea that can help me save data continuously in real time. Also I don't want the file to be too big, so I would like to crete a new file in every 32 mega bytes, and clear the previous buffer. Now I have this code can save voltage data to TDMS file, and the sample rate is 2m Hz, so the volume of data increase very fast, and my computer only have 2G ram, so the computer will freeze after 10 seconds I start to collect data. I need some advise from you briliant people.
Thanks very much I really appreciate that.
Solved!

I am a huge proponent of the Producer/Consumer architecture. But this is the place I advise against it. The DAQmx Configure Logging does all of it for you!

When printing a PDF file I would like to ensure that all 'chapters' print on the odd numbered pages.

I need a way to set up a PDF file so that when I print it all new chapters (and single sided forms) print on the odd pages. These PDFs are available for viewing on the network but occasionally there is a demand to print one of them. Is there a 'chapter start' (or similar command) which will allow the PDF to more properly format when printing.

There's no automated process because I don't think Acrobat could determine what was the beginning of a chapter. However, you can insert blank pages that start the first page of chapters to an odd-numbered page.
In Acrobat XI, that is Tools > Pages > More Insert Options > Insert Blank Page

I have all my photos stored on an external hard drive. When I view my photos I would like to play them in a slideshow. It only allows me to view them one at a time.

Hi can anyone recommend the best laptop to use most adobe products ?

Hi I'm wanting to buy a new laptop for uni to use adobe programmes such as photoshop, illustrator, in design and most other programmes?

While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

Synching. In the past I have synched my iPhone and ipad to my iMac. I would like to now synch my iPhone and ipad to a macbook pro. What is the best way to make that change without losing something ? To stop synching to the seldom used iMac.

My dumb question. I have been synching iphone and ipad to imac. I want to start syncing those devices to my mac book as I use that primarily and the imac seldom. I do use Time machine and have backups but was concerned I might create a problem for myself if I didn't check the right box somewhere. I imagine there is a simple simple way to do this ?

You have 90 days of free AppleCare on all new Macs, and if you purchased AppleCare (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) you also have 3 years of telelphone support. I'd recommend calling AppleCare to to support your MBP.

Can anyone recommend a Windows 7 compatible USB audio/video interface for Adobe Media Live Encoder??

Any suggestions? Also, are they hardware appliances that replace Adobe Media Live Encoder?

I use this one with Windows 7:http://www.chronos.com.tw/Product/E/2/USB%20Movie%20Editor/USB%20Movie%20Editor.htm
It worked bad with out of box Windows 7.
But after all updates it works very well and stable.
A nice thing is that it has little USB extender cable included. So it is less harmful for laptop usb port.

I have scanned about 1600 pages of 100-year old documents and saved them as pdf files. I would like to search them for keywords and phrases. Can anyone recommend software that can be used as an index for these documents?
