I'm Happy with 10.4.6 - how do I ignore 10.4.7 ?

Hi :
Reading the many posters with problems upgrading to 10.4.7, I'd like my Software Update program to totally ignore 10.4.7 when it does it's update scan.
Anyone know if that is possible?
G4 ibook with Airport Extreme Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 GB DDR SDRAM

I'm with you, Teri. I just ran the Software Update for 10.4.7 and so far it absolutely *****.
While using Safari, I have to keep loading pages. If I stop loading pages for more than 25 seconds, Safari freezes up. Even as I write this, I have another window open where I'm randomly clicking on links just to keep Safari running.
That's my main gripe, and it's a mighty big one, so forgive me if I sound whiny.
Other issues (so far) include:
-The web address autofill provides random, obscure pages in my browsing history, but not the most common ones I visit. For instance, I start typing "gm" and "gmail.com" does not appear as a suggestion. Or I start typing "my" and instead of "myspace.com" appearing, I get an extremely long myspace address.
-Small icons like my battery meter or my volume level disappear randomly.
-When opening Safari, the Activity window appears for some reason. Obviously not a big problem, but annoying nonetheless.
Okay, I'm obviously frustrated. Can I undo this update or is there a cure out there?

SLIDESHOW....not happy with quality...how can I fix these issues?

I just finished up a 16 minute slideshow for a client. I used FCP and Motion 3 to create it. I used the same export settings I would use for a video project. I noticed that all pictures that had any kind of movement to it, had noticeable interlaced lines going through it or had artifacts. Even some of the transitions like the Push Slide or Cube Spin were jerky and not smooth. Let me be clear and say that I did not really notice these issues when I was editing. I noticed these things after I created the DVD and watched it on 2 different televisions.
So I am wondering a few things.
Do I select all clips and and DE-INTERLACE them?
" " with any kind of motion and add a gaussian blur to them?
I even noticed interlaced lines going through my company logo too which I never have seen happen before.
Should I have used a different export codec like Animation or something.
In FCP, I had my timeline set up as Apple ProRes 422 NTSC 48 and Capture to DV NTSC 48
Now my project is complete, is there anything I can do to fix this issue other than what I suggested I try above?
This video is for a client and I want to make sure it looks right before I give it to them.
Thanks

The field dominance option is in your sequence settings.
Look at the menu bar then go to Sequence>Settings.
You'll get a pop up window that has options which will change the properties of your sequence. You can change all sorts of stuff but the option you are looking for is in the middle of the box.
Field Dominance... change that to none. Leave the rest alone
Re export as a QT movie.... I would go to
File>Export>QuickTime Conversion.
Format = QucikTime Movie and click on the options box.
Click on the settings button for video.
Change the compression type from whatever it is to animation. Make sure the quality slider is set at best.
Leave the settings alone. Click OK or.. save
Got grab a snack and wait for it to export. Once it's done locate that QT file and burn it using iDVD
I've never burn a DVD using iDVD but am going to assume you know what you're doing with it.
Spend a little time with DVDSP when you get a chance. If you just used Apple Motion and FCP to make a slide show DVDSP will be a good asset for you.
Hope that help.... nothing like putting a lot of time and effort into something just to have it look terrible. Been there too many times myself.
-Good luck.

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

Yahoo is my home page and now that I have downloaded your latest version, as stated in a note from you the tool bar is incompatible. So....how do I print or save a web page if I don't have my tool bar!! I'm not happy with this - please help.

You've moved stuff around so the tabs are at the top instead of my tool bar. I no longer have the means then to copy and paste, print, etc. when I pull up information I might want to keep from a web page. When I downloaded Version 4 a message came across from Firefox that the newer version is not compatible with the Yahoo toolbar. How then do I operate these functions? I'm not a techie, and was happy with my old Firefox. Not a happy camper now. Can you help???

iPHP
Wow! You know, I tried a variation of that, which was a complete guess, and of course it was absolutely wrong.
I had no idea you could stack DATE_FORMAT one after the other! I researched this for a LONG time and nothing came up like what you suggested, so thank you for this! I hope that this thread helps others who are or will soon be in my shoes. This forum is the BEST!!!
And of course, it works like a charm. Thank you.
Many incredibly sincere thanks,

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty.

I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I am not happy with it. How do I delete it? Thanks

I recently downloaded OS X Maverecks. I am not happy with it. How do I delete it and go back to my original setup? Thanks

JB6569,
do you have a Time Machine backup of your MacBook Pro from before you’d installed Mavericks? If so, you can restore from that backup.
If you don’t have a pre-Mavericks backup, then first I’d recommend purchasing an external drive onto which you can make a Time Machine backup of what you currently have installed. Once you’ve made a backup, or if you’ve decided that you don’t need to preserve your data, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start up your MacBook Pro. When you see the Mac OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility and use it to erase your MacBook Pro’s internal disk. After restarting, OS X Internet Recovery will let you download your MacBook Pro’s originally installed version of OS X (Lion) from Apple’s servers, and will then proceed to install it. Once it’s been installed, you can then restore your data (if any) from the Time Machine backup.

Wondering how many folks are still happy with there REV A iMac 20"

I've had my iMacG5 20" (1st gen) now for 11 months and the only thing that has gone wrong is the power supply failed and had to be replace back in July 05. Apple sent me a NEW....Lacie D2 250 GB external hard drive for my troubles....Thanks Apple.
I have had other issues......but only ones I seem to have created on my own.
QUESTION:
So......how's "YOUR" iMacG5 20" (FIRST GENERATION) holding up.
Thanks

I bought my Rev A in November of last year. Up until a few weeks ago I was very happy with it, however it began doing strange things like switching itself off when it felt like it, now sleeping from the pre-set, then when I tried to sleep it from the Apple menu it would restart instead. (My daughter reckons as it was a year old it was probably teething, that's why it wouldn't sleep!)
Anyway, after several calls to Apple and finding that none of their suggestions worked, I took it in to be looked at. That was last week. They reckon it's a logic board failure and I could be waiting quite some time to get it back as there is a backlog and a wait for parts.
I feel a bit peeved about the wait as this is a problem Apple have know about for a while and I would have thought they would have stocked up on parts.
On a more positive note, I have been using Macs since my first computer - a Mac Plus - back in the 1980s and this is the first time I have had something go wrong with one. I'm also please I have the trusty iBook otherwise I would be suffering major withdrawals by now.

How can ANYONE be happy with this piece of junk? Seriously?

I started by importing my iPhoto library. It's 10k pictures, many if
which I could probably delete if I had a good tool like Aperture to
help me. In iPhoto I have about 50 or 60 keywords and I have applied
at least some keywords to lots of my pictures. When I try to search my
photos by keyword in iPhoto, it responds instantly, much like Apple's
spotlight technology does.
The first thing I noticed was that just bringing up the filter window
takes 60 seconds. I wish I were kidding. The other thing I noticed
was, As I am adjusting the filter, or adding new criteria like EXIF
aperture setting, the software automatically starts searching even
before I have finished specifying all the criteria. Normally I think
that wouldn't bother me, but it took 60 seconds to perform each filter
operation.
OK - so filter is slow, I'll get over it. I really wanted this app for
the image management and adjustments capabilities. So, I found an
image that had a bad exposure and I selected the exposure slider and
moved it to the right to brighten the picture. My CPU pegged for
several minutes before the slider moved one pixel and any visible
changes appeared on the screen. It shouldn't take minutes, it should
take milliseconds, like in iPhoto or Picasa or any other image
manipulation program I have ever run.
I think the problem is that it was creating a new version of the
image, and I came to discover that any operation that affects the
number of images in your "working set" can take minutes or more.
There are many other really simple operations I wanted to do which I
could not do because the application pegged the CPU for hours and made
no visible progress, and I was forced to Force Quit the
application. Here's a perfect example. I noticed that all the photos
imported from my iPhoto library were keyworded with the "iPhoto
Original" keyword. How nice I thought. Then there was another keyword
called "iPhoto Edited" which I thought was even better because what I
really wanted to do was delete all my changes made in iPhoto, go back
the original files, and then make non-destructive versions of those
changes with Aperture.
So, I created a filter to find all the images that had the "iPhoto
Edited" keyword associated with them. Turns how that those images were
already automatically stacked with the corresponding original
versions. So I decided to Unstack the images so I could delete the
"iPhoto Edited" ones. Unfortunately that operation never completed
after hours. I tried selecting just 3 of the images to unstack, and
that took 10 minutes. I tried 10 images at once and that never
completed after an hour. I had to Force Quit the application many
times.
Then somebody gave me the hint that to accomplish this task you need
to do the initial filter, create an album based on the filter results,
and then perform all your operations in that album. I gave that a
try. It took about 10 minutes to set up that album because of the
slowness of the system, but once in that album I found I was able to
unstack images much faster: still hundreds of times too slow, but
still much better. 2 hours later I had them all unstacked, and had
deleted the iPhoto Edited images.
This is the kind of pain we're talking about.
I've tried importing from iPhoto without the keywords to see if that
might be what's making it slow. It appears to be a big part of the
problem but I cannot be sure.
I tried moving my photos out of individual per-roll projects that were
created by the iPhoto import and into a single large project, to see
if that would help. No difference.
Today I ran some kernel tracing tools on Aperture when it seemed to be
quite hung or at least slow, and found a few very disturbing
things. One biggy while deleting 1000 thumbnail images that got
imported when I imported my iPhoto library one directory at a time,
was that it was rewriting the same file:
1388 Aperture CALL stat(0xf0101870,0xf0100fd0)
1388 Aperture NAMI "/Users/jonathan/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary/Aperture.aplib/LatestDeleteDates.plist"
1388 Aperture RET stat 0
1388 Aperture CALL statfs(0xbfffc6e0,0xbfffc5d0)
1388 Aperture RET statfs -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
1388 Aperture RET open 14/0xe
1388 Aperture CALL write(0xe,0x1eb2fa10,0x157)
1388 Aperture GIO fd 14 wrote 343 bytes
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/P\
ropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>latestMasterFileDeleteDate</key>
<date>2005-12-09T01:43:58Z</date>
<key>latestMetadataDeleteDate</key>
<date>2005-12-09T01:43:58Z</date>
</dict>
</plist>
1388 Aperture RET write 343/0x157
1388 Aperture CALL fsync(0xe)
It did this thousands of times, and there are several really sad
things about this:
(1) It's the same data and the same file every time.
(2) It calls fsync(0xe) after each write.
The latter means that the program is not going to make any progress
until that data is written from the kernel's memory buffer onto the
hard drive, which could take many milliseconds depending on what
sector the heads are looking at right now! This is insane.
After the images seemed to be deleted, however, Aperture remained CPU
pegged for hours. I didn't realize it and had gone to eat dinner,
dessert, clean the dishes, get beaten badly in Othello by my 7 year
old daughter again, do her piano practice, and put her to bed. So I
kernel traced it again and discovered that it was endlessly seeking
around and then reading 1k blocks from some file, without actually
causing any physical disk I/O. In other words the entire file was
somehow in memory and Aperture was just running around in circles
reading chunks of it ... for hours, CPU pegged the whole time. I had
to "Force Quit" again.
So, I ask you, What is this program good for? As far as I can tell,
nothing works properly once you pass a certain number of images in the
library.
Here's what I think Aperture can be good for: load your new "roll" of
digital pictures into it. Hopefully fewer than 500 photos. Use all the
cool tools to group and stack, adjust the color tempurature, white
balance, sharpness, crop it, etc. Then export it to some random folder
and import than folder into iPhoto (or whatever you want to use to
manage your photo database). Then delete the photos from Aperture.
Folks, I am sorry to tell you this, but this is a program with bad
bones and it's not going to get fixed soon. I hope I can get my money
back. I've already been told that I cannot because I installed it, but
I am going to complain and make sure they at least know how bad this
is.
Believe me I wanted this to be the best program ever. I have used
Final Cut Pro and Photoshop on my mac, and those programs are two of
the very best I have ever used. They are fast, extremely good at what
they do, perform well on much lower-performing hardware (e.g., my imac
G4 with 512Mb RAM), and they are just great in every way. I told all
my friends, "My love affair with the Mac can continue despite my
disatifaction with iPhoto because they have created another Pro tool
called Aperture which looks like the best thing ever!" But those demos
were all staged with very few photos in the libraries.

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues. I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment. Think before you make changes to your software and programs. You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour.
A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

Hi Tricia,
I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g: "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers. We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.
Regards,
Steve

I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down. How to solve?

You should update to Firefox 30, 28 is no longer supported nor secure.
Is there a reason you don't want to update?

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline

I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.
It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not.
There ya go!
