I want to make a iMovie using FaceTime camera on new MBP 13" It will be about 5 hours long. Can/should I make it one long file (no dvd  needed) or break it up for whatever reason?

It is a foreign language dictionary and will be about 5 hours long. Should I or must I break it up into files of say 1 hour long or does it matter? I will NOT be putting it on a DVD

AppleMan's suggestion is CERTAINLY the way to go. 
Even if you have enough available hard drive space for 5 hours, the people you are recording (or making the recording) will need breaks during the 5 hours.
Moreover, unless you have paid for a secure recording studio, you may experience noises, light changes, or other interruptions during a 5 hour session.
PLAN to stop whenever necessary.  Expecting to take breaks will make the work far less tense than fearing you will need to "start over" if you must stop.

  • Using Sothink video downloader, normally video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension. "Save file Type As" is peg only on .EBM extension

    Using Sothink video downloader, normally by default my video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension & I can't open my video file. "Save file Type As" -to select file extension does not seem to work -

    It's a WEBM video file. My solution was to rename the file to have .webm extension, and play it with the latest VLC Player (2.1, but I think any from 1.1 and upper will solve it too). Just associate .ebm with VLC didn't work. I had to rename the files so VLC knew exactly what that thing was.
    By the way, it worked the same way with a .eam file (!), I just renamed the extension to .webm.

    I have recently moved from Thunderbird to SeaMonkey - much better and up to date with the latest Mozilla code.

  • I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone.  For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named

    I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone.  For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named with letters and numbers. Why is the IPhone creating additional "calendars"? I only asked for one to be set-up. I don't understand, I have to go into the calendar settings daily and uncheck these un-asked for calendars. Help!

    Mine is doing the same thing.  I deleted the whole account from the mail settings and it got rid of most of the extra calendars.  But there are still 2 gibberish ones left.

  • I tried restoring my iMac 27" slim. I followed the steps erased my data then to reinstall osx mavericks. Now that I'm trying to reinstall osx mavericks for whatever reason it doesn't completes. Can you help me out?

    That's not quite the proper way as far as I can tell. Usually, one boots directly into the Recovery HD using COMMAND and R keys at startup. If you cannot do that then most likely there is a problem with the hard drive. Since this is a new computer i would make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • For whatever reason, I am frequently getting delays in seeing the characters after I type.

    For whatever reason, I am frequently getting delays in seeing the characters after I type when using Firefox- ie- Firefox, G mail, etc- but not when using other apps like Skype. I have downloaded the latest add-ons and Flow Scroll w no improvement and moved the remote sensor closer to the keyboard and changed the batteries numerous times but because the issue is with only certain programs I wonder if it is Firefox that is having the problem? Thanks in advance for your help~ Jim

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • We have iPad2 and Macbook Pro. Both are registered to iTunes acct (same email address). We want to be able to use Facetime when she goes off to college. Any advise greatly appreciated!

    We have iPad2 and Macbook Pro. Both are registered to iTunes acct (same email address). We want to be able to use Facetime when she goes off to college.  Any advise greatly appreciated!

    On your Mac, launch FaceTime and then go to the menubar for FaceTime->Preferences.
    Within Preferences for FaceTime, look for the entries under "You can be reached for calls at:" and click on "Add Another Email..."
    Add another email address.
    The iPad can now be used to "call" the Mac by trying to start a FaceTime connection to the alternate email address you just entered. The Mac can be used to call the iPad by trying to start a FaceTime connection to the primary email address associated with the iPad.

  • I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in OR convert it to SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
    Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
    Regards.

  • HT201303 For whatever reason, my iPhone is showing a recent purchase up to 18 times within the album section.  I am worried that I will be billed for this many versions.

    For whatever reason a recent purchase came up 18 times as a full album in my iTunes account.  I only purchased one album and am concerned why this would show up 18 complete times in my iTunes account as well as worried that I will be billed for 18 purchases of one album.

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!

    I'm trying to use FaceTime on my new iPad but I keep getting this message could not sign in check your network connection.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    HI,
    You can create and add another Screen Name to iChat.
    From iChat 4 you can have as many AIM Logins and Jabber Logins as you want.
    "AIM" in this case includes the Apple IDs (@mac.com and @me.com ending names) that also work as Valid AIM Screen Names as well as AIM registered Names.
    "Jabber Names" includes using Google Mail IDs and Facebook IDs as well as any registration with any other Jabber server.
    If you are not happy with the one you have you can delete and stop using it.
    Both Adding and Deleting are done in iChat > Preferences> Accounts.
    Highlight an Account/Name and then the minus button to delete.
    Using the Plus button show you the Add Screen.
