Do I need antivirus software for iPad and iPhone

I'm new to the apple world and enjoying the gadgets. Just wondering if I need to purchase antivirus software for my iPad and iPhone.

Anti virus software doesnt' really exist because it's not needed. The way things are coded viruses won't run on the iPad's operating system.

I need an expert for this one...please help!

See if you can follow me...
My mom has an OLD imac-that she has boosted with memory-and upgraded to OS 10.3
I have a new intel IMAC...with isight.
I have tried to use the isight camera in imovie-to record the kids and send her little quicktime clips.
She has quick time 7-no matter what she does-she gets only audio, not video and it says that she is missing something that quicktime needs?
I can't find it, and after reinstalling it several times i have given up. Is it possible for her to ever watch these movies?
Sounds like a video card issue-am I on the right track? Would an older version of quick time work.
Please help a grandma see her grandkids!!

H.264 requires QuickTime 7. The error message (missing components) proves to me that she is using an older version of QuickTime.
Not necessarily. If Mom has a G3 iMac, it's not going to be able to play H.264 movies (they require a G4 processor or better) and so may be reporting a missing component because the H.264 component won't run on her G3, not because it's a true "missing" component.

Need billing number for a real person that can fix problems

I got Fios a few months ago. A new account was set up for Fios but I'm still being billed for DSL. I've been trying to get the problem fixed for months. The first month they credited back the Fios charge. The second month they said they would send someone out to make changes to transfer my copper line number to Fios but the person never came. I've called several times after that to get the problem fixed. This month they turned off Fios so I paid to have it turned back on in addition to paying my phone and DSL bill. I've been on the phone several times for hours with people that can't do anything to help so they transfer me to others or tell me to call back the next day because their shift is over or the person that can really help me has different hours. If anyone has the phone number to someone that actually fixed a convoluted problem, please message me. I'll go postal if I have to explain my problem to another series of people that can't do a thing to help me.

Importing Flex project into Flash CS5 for use with iPhone packager? Please Help.

Hi all,
I have been developing an application in Flex builder for the iPhone using the iPhone packager, where I've been using the Flex framework.
Now I'm stuck at trying to use my existing libraries in Flash. It seems I can't add the UI components I used in Flex (class VideoExample) to the default Flash container. I need someone's help who has experience with that.
I have created a .SWC file, but when I'm trying to add the container in Flash using addChild(new VideoExample) it doesn't work. I can't load the .SWF externally using loader.load() at runtime, because the application is for iPhone. Any solutions how could I import the project to Flash?
I was thinking about changing the UI components classes from mx.* to fl.*, but I would have to change many code and I'm not sure if it would even work, and I don't want to loose compatibility with mxml.
Please respond, help would be very much appreciated!
Here's my mxml wrapper, from which I start the main application:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="EntryPoint.main()">
</mx:Application>
Then I have a class which creates the main container:
package {
import mx.core.*;
public class EntryPoint {
    public static function main():void {
        var client:VideoExample = new VideoExample();
        var mxmlApp:Application = Application(Application.application);
        mxmlApp.addChild(client);
Here is the main class VideoExample:
package {
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.containers.*;
public class VideoExample extends Canvas {
    public function VideoExample() {
        super();
        init();
        private function init():void {
        loadImage();
        loadText();
                loadDisplay();
                startConnection();

Help Needed: Automator Applescript for Folder Action - Encode Video

Hi !
I have created an Automator Applescript for a Folder Action to do the following:
When a new video file is moved to the target folder (i.e. Download of Vuze is done), automatically launch the Applescript Action that does the followin g(Applescripted):
1) Using "run shell script" and FFMPEG on a UNIX command line, determine Width/Height, Framerate, Bitrate
2) Calculate encoding parameters (slightly reduced bitrate, reduced Aspect etc.)
3) Using "run shell script" with ffmpeg on the command line and the calculated parameters to encode the video file
At the same time, the action is written to a log file so I know if a file is recognized, when encoding started etc.
It works fine if I save this Action as an .app, make an alias on the Desktop and drop video files on it.
It also works fine if I attach the script to a folder as a folder action and drag a video file in there.
However, when I attach the script as a folder action to the Vuze download folder, it encodes only some video files, i.e. if there was a download of 5 files, chances are good that it will not encode 1 or 2 files out of those 5.
If for example a second download finishes while the encoding for the first download is still going on, sometimes the second file starts encoding after the first encode finishes, sometimes it does not, the file does not make the log file at all, i.e. the folder action missed it or the automator action dropped it because it was still encoding. Still, sometimes it happens, sometimes not.
As I need a solution that is 100% accurate, I would like to ask if there are any ideas on how to do this better maybe? As I am not an Applescript Guru, I would need some help to know what works and what doesn't and what the syntax is.
My main idea right now:
Similar to how ffmpegX works with its "process" application, have a second script (as .app) that receives the files to be encoded from the automator action and puts them in a queue, then proceeds to encode this queue while the main automator action is free to receive the next file.
Writing this second app is quite straightforward (a modified version of my current script) but I have some questions I need help with:
1) How do I call another applescript from within an existing applescript that launches the new applescript in a new process?
2) How do I pass parameters to this new applescript?
3) In case of this "Queueing" Idea, once I called the external applescript the first time, how do I make sure when I call next time, that I don't open a second instance of this script but rather pass another queue item to the original instance to be processed?
Or in general: Is there a better way to achieve this automatic encoding solution that I have not thought about?
Alternatively:
Does anyone know how to call the "process" application that comes with the ffmpegX package with the correct parameters to use as a queueing / processing tool?
Thanks!
Joe

To do this, I created an Automator workflow with an Applescript snippet to change the 'media kind'.
Here is the 'Run Applescript' workflow step code:
on run {input, parameters}
          tell application "iTunes"
                    set video kind of (item 1 of input) to movie
          end tell
          return input
end run
Prior to this running, I have an 'Import Files into iTunes' workflow step.
You can switch out 'movie' with: 'TV show', 'music video', or anything in ITLibMediaItemMediaKind.
Good luck,
Glenn

Need a script for squaring images of various sizes please

Hello, new to this group but have been using photoshop for years doing basic editing. I have never done any sripting. I have a project on my hands. I have a lot of image of various sizes with some taller or wider than others. I need to make all these images exactly square though. Currently they vary and are wider or taller etc.
I was wondering what process I could use hopefully with batch editing but was told scripting might be the answer to automate this process as I have about 8,000 images.
So for example one image might be 200 pixels wide and 400 pixels high and another is 100 pixels high and 600 pixels wide and so on. I would need the
1st example to be 400 x 400 and the 2nd example 600 x 600.
I am using photoshop 5.5
The software for a shopping cart is using a feature that allows you to zoom in on the image but if it is not perfectly square the image doesn't appear
well in the software. Using magento e-commerce.
Thanks for your help and any thoughts on this project of mine.
Dave

Here a simple script the does what I think you want.
// squares the canvas. uses the background color
var doc = activeDocument;
var maxDim = Math.max( doc.width, doc.height );
doc.resizeCanvas( maxDim, maxDim, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER );

In need of advice for backing up HD Video

So we returned from a vacation,
where I shot all the video in HD 1080p.
We got back, and I used Final Cut Express to convert the AVCHD files from .mkv to .mov files.
All together, the total files come to a whopping 78.93 GB. Wow.
I need to back these up to DVD's or something
(My wife says she doesnt want them on an external hard drive, her last one died)
is there a way I could compress these?
or should I use quicktime/visualhub to bring down the quality a little?
any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Solutions:
1) ignore the wife and backup to a good hard drive such as a LaCie quadra. usb or firewire.
2) Buy Time Capsule and backup to it.
3) what would i do? Use MPEGStreamClip to make mp4 files , to control the file size. The picture will still look very good but it does not do 5.1 channel sound. Handbrake does but since the file is HD probably will crash while encoding so will VisualHub. Another consideration, MPEGStreamClip on a 2 gig HD movie will take 15 hrs on a Mac pro let alone an iMac.
Currently not too many programs will do HD encoding.
4) backup to optical disc, I'd never do that ; too many compatibilty issues with different drives perceived for future usage.
5) back to the wife, user should alway have three backup stategies; ie main drive then backup # 1 then backup #2. I've backup to external and internal hard drives for over a decade without problems.

New to Mac, I need baby steps for importing vr format video

I have read comments about streamclip and MPEG 2 playback, but I still can't seem to get going with my home video transfers. Every time I try to open a mini dvd, whatever program I am trying to use shuts down. I'm computer challenged and need all the help I can get.

If you just bought this camera I would HIGHLY suggest
you take it back or sell it. Those camera are
designed to "shoot and play", not edit.
It is a chore to edit these type files unless you are
using Windows and the software that came with the
camera. Even if you are "Technology minded" you will
need a program like MEGWorks
http://www.mpeg2works.com/ to convert the VRO file.
It is a huge pain and time consuming to do it on
your Mac.

I need to get photos off my iphone using itunes, PLEASE READ AND HELP

okay, I have pics on my iphone that need off and i can't use my phone, i need to use itunes. how do i do it, ive tried and can't see a remove photos button. it says to deselect a box and hit remove photos, where is that?

If these photos were synced then you need to connect your phone to iTunes, select the phone under devices and then the photos tab. Deselect photos or albums you want to remove.
If these photos were taken on the phone then you need to delete on your phone. Go to your camera roll and you will see an icon in the top right (a square with an arrow), select and then choose the photos and hit delete

Does my Server need audio installed for streaming audio and video

I have flash media streaming server installed onto my s
erver and wondered whether i actually need a sound card on my server to enable audio to be streamed. I was told i
did not??? so how would audio be streamed if no sound card/???

Flash Media Interactive/Streaming/Development Server only stores and serves files hence it doesn't need any audio/video devices installed. The Flash Player or FMLE does need access to local media resource in order to incroporate audio/video data.

Iphone video file compatibility checker?

I have a bunch of video files in mp4 and m4v in a folder. Some copy to my iphone when added to my itunes library, others don't with the error FILE CAN NOT BE PLAYED ON THIS IPHONE. Usually the format for non compatible iphone video files was created for appletv device , but its hard to tell which files will play on the iphone, quick and easily. I was wondering if there was a simple iphone video compatibility checker. Like looking at video files listed in a folder directory, where it displays whether or not a video file is iphone compatible?
If no such file checker exists, it sure would be nice to have such a file checker to look at a batch or folder of files at one time, and easily check iphone compatibility. (hint hint programmers)

It appears to me that the only reason cpu speed, would impact play back is that iTunes has designed this effect into the files.
No, they didn't, at least not as part of some sort of deliberate effort to get you to upgrade. Videos and movies from the iTunes Store are encoded with the new H.264 codec. This codec can yield much better quality at a lower file size than can other video codecs such as the most common MPEG-2, but decoding H.264 takes more processing power. Hence the minimum CPU requirement; it just takes that fast a system to decode the content smoothly. In some cases with a system with close specs, you may be able to get adequate playback if all other applications and processes are shut down (as with iTunes vs. QuickTime; iTunes takes up a bit more of the processor for it's other functions), but it's always going to be iffy if you're right at the edge of the system requirements.
You're going to see this sort of thing on any computer system; better quality video requires higher-power systems, no matter what platform you're running on (Windows Media Player recommends 1.5Ghz).
