I hope this the right place for reinstall Tiger?

Hello y'all,
I cheated and bought an Imac on evilbay! But this has too many freezes and I had trouble migrating stuff so, on advice from another forum here, I have reinstall discs and what is left of a 3 yr support warrantee coming! I was told this thing, most likely, has glithes and crap from former owner!
It had Firefox in Portugese, I think it wasn't Spanish as spoken in NY, and Dashboard was set to another city, minor crap granted, but I was told to clean up the system and then reinstall OS X but how is my question? Another question, can I save my stuff, from Ipoto, Photo Booth, and Garage Band somewhere? And how do I do that?
Thanks, Willy

  • Is this the right place for me to get started with pdf development?

    Hi, What I am going to do is to write some AS3 classes which will load a pdf file and can extract its data like taking BitmapData shots from all the pages and that stuff...
    so, will you be able to let me know if I'd be able to ask tech questions in this forum along the way? and also, will you be able to tell me where to start to get some helpful information about pdf files so that I can access and read them in binary level?
    any comment is appriciated,
    Hadi

    thanks for the reply, I just downloaded that reference book and will start reading it in a few minutes... I wonder if I'd also need to purchase the pdf library thing later?  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/library/
    or accesing the pdf in AS3 in binary level will solve my problem of taking bitmapData screenshots from pages?
    Regards,

  • I did not find the right place for my question but Is Apple's products are shipped to the Gulf States by a company Aramex ?

    An absolute URL will be a complete URL, it traces from the abosulte root of a file's location on a server...
    http://www.thesite.com/assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
    A relative URL is anything short of including the http://domain..., and is read relative to wherever the file using it exists
    assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
    In Flash files though, relative links need to be specified relative to the HTML page that embeds the swf.  So if the swf is in a different folder than the html page that embeds it, the swf's targeting must be adjusted as if it were actually in the html file's folder.

    When you go into the bug tracker, there's a drop down list on your left that says "Arch Linux". Go into there, select "Community Packages", and pres the "switch" button right next to it.

  • Is this the right place to request features?

    If it is the right place, could I suggest that the select forum combobox should appear in every web page from the forums and not only on the Forums Home Page, it requires too many clicks to change from a forum to another.
    Thanks

    the select forum combobox should appear in every web page from the forums
    This is not a bad idea for the Web interface! Just curious though, where would you suggest this (select form control) be placed in the current Web interface? Hmm, maybe under the Browse link in the #jive-userbar-droplink li selector ? That seems like a good place ATM.

    Woa! Worst case of TinyMCE editor experience I've ever had here! This happens to be the first time I've used this same computer to serve up music (WinAmp [version unknown] on Win XP Pro) while visiting forums.adobe.com. I usually play music from a physical, separate CD player & amplifier or, occasionally,  from a different computer over LAN. (MAN, this is hard to type!).
    Any chance you other editor/performance complainants are running a music player while typing in this TinyMCE editor? If so, which OS and player?
    WOW, but this is horrid on this dual Xeon box (two physical processor chips plus hyperthreading) in this current XP Pro SP3 boot configuration.
    (If no relavent replies to my OT, I may try to replicate later and post results if I can replicate tonight's performanceee.)

  • Is this the right product for me?

    Hi All
    Just considering Contribute and was wondering if this is the right product for my needs.
    I've built a web site and need to add a retrofit CMS type function to some pages.
    There's news, products and general page editing.
    I can see News being straightforwards in Ct but not sure about the rest. It appears that an editor requires Ct whether they want to edit in a browser or not. Is this the case? Sort of defeats the purpose for browser editing doesn't it?
    Any comments are much appreciated.
    Thanks

    ARD will not allow you print from your home system to your printers at work either. You could transfer the documents from your home system to your work system and then print, but you don't need ARD for that. File sharing, for transferring the documents, and the Screen Sharing built into Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 to take control of the work computer, would be all you need and wouldn't cost you anything additional.
    If, however, you need the ability to "curtain" the screen at work, then you would need ARD. Another, somewhat less expensive, option would be Timbuktu.
    Regards.

  • Is this the right program for me?

    I need a program that'll work very well with all of my audio equipment for recording. I need something that is easy to use, but still has nice results. I plan on uploading my recordings as MP3s to a musician myspace. Is this the right thing to purchase?

    Jake, one man's perspective. Your mileage may vary:
    I came to Logic via Garageband, and some experience with ProTools from around five or six years ago. After the usual setup headaches that, quite honestly, were more due to my inexperience than any inherent Logic lameness, I am up and running and quite happy with it.
    I think I benefit from the fact that I pick up new technologies/gadgets/what have you very quickly. In addition, this being the first pro-level recording application I've worked with, I'm pretty much a blank slate -- I can't say "Man, logic f-in ***** compared to Cubase/ProTools/etc." Maybe it does; maybe it doesn't. I just have no real frame of reference, so it's all new and cool to me.
    Also, I suspect my needs are fairly simple relative to the pros on this board. I do guitars/bass/ mando/vox audio, keys and drums (Addictive Drums, yeah!) software instruments, usually about 12-16 tracks. (Musically my stuff is a combo of Django Reinhardt and Black Sabbath, all those minor 6ths doncha know; I also orchestrate stuff written by a friend of mine who's a post-grunge dude from Seattle.)
    I'm totally excited with the sonic possibilities Logic has offered. I love tinkering around with the different plugins/instruments etc to achieve just the right little ear tickle *******. I'm now listening to music in a different way -- and having these little "Oh, that's how Jimmy Page did it! I can do that!" moments which is a pretty awesome experience. Being able to listen to old music in new ways is always a good thing.
    And seriously, for the price I am not sure you can beat it -- the basic studio environment, plus software instruments, plus loops. For a (fairly accomplished) parkin'-lot picker and DIY'er who's doing the Myspace thing, it's everything I want.
    But as to Logic's industrial strength, and applicability to professional environments, I gotta defer to the pros on the board.

  • App store billing issue (prob not the right place for this but i couldn't find a better one)

    I have been using the same card for my itunes account for as long as i have had an itunes account and a personal credit card, all of a sudden about a week or so ago while trying to update some applications on my iphone it asked me to sign in and confirm my billing information, from that day on it has refused to recognise the security code for my credit card or any other credit card for that matter, has anyone else had a similar issue with billing for their app store/itunes account and if so is this something that can be fixed easily without sending the device out or going to a repair centre
    the most frustrating thing of all is all of the updates i need to install are free updates for applications that were also free :-/

    go to http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp, enter your billing address, it will then show you how the USPS recognizes your address. Enter that address EXACTLY how it is shown on the USPS site into your itunes billing address info.

  • Is this the right forum for this? Using a foot pedal to control apps?

    My girlfriend is doing medical transcription - she listens to audio and she types. People who do this, often use a footpedal to play, pause, rewind, etc. while transcribing. I'm hoping to set her up on the Mac to do this, there are pedals which are Mac compatible, but I don't know what their limitations are, or what is possible.
    I found some typical USB pedals, examples here:
    http://www.altoedge.com/pedals/
    ...and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck using them? Can they be configured to control certain menu functions in any application? such as using the keyboard shortcuts in the System Preferences to control certain commands in other applications? I'm thinking that I could make great use of a pedal like this to control any audio player - iTunes, Garage Band, or a 3rd party app I bought and love, "The Amazing Slow-Downer" so that I can use this to practice with the guitar, playing along with recordings, similar to how she would do the exact same thing while listening to recordings and typing.
    I hope this is the right forum to bring this up. I don't have the pedal, I'm thinking of getting one, but I was hoping to get input from someone before springing for one. Thanks!!

    Well, this took me a while to get solved, but it is indeed solved.
    I tried USB Overdrive and it could, and perhaps should work, but apparently it will not. When adding a device, it seems that USB Overdrive is not set up to handle any input device that does not register itself as either a Mouse or a Joystick. The VEC USB Footpedal that I'm using is "Device type: Other".
    So, I went for Quickeys. And Quickeys can do it all. It did recognize the device, I was able to assign it to the scope of the particular audio playback app I wanted to use (Amazing Slow Downer OS X - which is truly amazing. Any musicians reading this who are looking for a way to learn pieces by ear, this does it better than anything else I've seen yet).
    I created a shortcut in Quickeys for the ASD app; added the middle button of the foot pedal as the trigger; set one step, entering 'space bar' as the step (which toggles playback, similar to many audio players).
    It all worked.
    Quickeys is very confusing and seemingly featured with an endless array of options. Enter at your own risk. Ask me for help. This was the only way to get it done that I could find. I did write to the author of USB Overdrive asking him to please support additional devices as I did find some traction from gamers who like to use a foot pedal in addition to other input devices. There was a Windows-only management utility for the foot pedal that was intended for custom input, assigning the buttons to any keyboard input or mouse click event. It would be nice to have a simple and easy to use utility like this. But, Quickeys did do the job.
    Thanks for your help, you guys!!!

  • Switching to a MacBook from a PC. Is this the right one for me?

    I currently have an IPhone and IPad  and am looking to purchase a MacBook to complete my Apple experience!   I have always been a PC user and will continue to use one at work, but am ready to transition to a Mac for my personal use. 
    I currently have a Gateway MX6453 with Windows XP version 2002, which is outdated and not meeting my needs.  I do a high volume of photo's, editing, website posting-updating, etc.  It is frustrating that it is just slow and non responding.
    Based on reviews and features I have narrowed down my selection to the MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display.  My ultimate question is have I selected the right model and specs based on the usage of my current PC, IPhone and IPad in addition to what my needs are today and in the future. I am not to savvy when it comes to GB, processor speeds, memory, etc so I am just going to list what specs my systems currently have and what is being used.  In addition to what I plan to do with the MacBook.
    Current PC: (I think I have this listed correctly)
    Gateway MX6453
    Windows XP Version 2002
    Storage Size: 1.6 GB
    HD RPM 5400
    Processor Speed: 1.6 GHz
    Ram: 1.87 GB
    Bus Speed: 1600 MHz
    C Drive total 14.2 GB   Free 57.5 GB (I may have written this wrong)
    Local 6.82 Free 2.79
    IPhone:
    13.3 GB - Used 12.2. (Photos-Camera Roll take up 6.6 GB)
    iPad:
    13.6 GB - Used 12.3
    What I want to use MacBook for:
    60% photos, 25% videos and 15% documents (word, excel, pdf's etc)
    Photos and video editing
    Website and Facebook management- uploading content, pictures, etc.
    Surfing internet
    This is what I am thinking of buying:
    13-inch: 2.4GHz
    with Retina display
    Specifications
    2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Graphics
    Built-in battery (9 hours)2
    $1,499.00

    I you are going to use a lot of photos and videos you would be better off getting more storage than the 256 GB...the 512 GB would be smarter to get.
