I would like to see my home videos in HD - but have not been sucessful

OK I'll start off by saying, I think I'm fairly intelligent but after going thru about 50 dvds, maybe not so much. If anyone can give me an idiot guide (step by step) I would really appreciate it. My goal is to get small movie clips on my DVD so I can play them on my Sony or samsung blu ray player
I'm using the following:
- canon HF100 camcorder that saves file in avchd.
- imovie 08 and/or imove hd.
- toast 9.0.4
- sony blu ray (s350) and also have a samsung 1500 blue ray
I've tired to import avchd into imovie hd from my camcorder, but found i cannot do so - so I import into imovie 08 using the best quality, then open the files in imovie hd and edit, etc. (from what I read imovie hd is 'better' than 08 - still trying to get use to it). I'm assuming I don't really have to do anything else here - just want to make sure I'm importing at best quality.
After I edit the video, i've exported using quicktime (I only have the reader version 7.5.5) in both imovie hd & 08, the quality seems poor (on the mac - just does not look like hd). I've burned quick time file to dvd using toast, but neither blu ray player is able to read the disk (know it was a long shot). I've played around with a bunch of different settings in imovie 08, but really don't know what I'm doing and none of the disks looked very good. I've not gotten into any of the advance settings in imovie hd yet.
I've also copied the avchd files (disk image of my canon card) to dvd and neither player can play the raw files (though they apparently play avchd format)
I've successfully burned things using idvd - but it is not hd.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Plus you will need to buy a Blu ray DVD burner.
There have been discussions about quality issues with iMovie 08 because it uses single field processing to create the video images. Basically, this removes half of the lines of resolution from your original footage. This has to create some loss of quality. iMovie HD6, on the other hand, does not do this, keeping both fields intact.
iMovie 08 was really created to appeal to You Tubers and other web video users, where high quality is less of an issue. iMovie HD6 and previous versions were created to appeal to the budding moviemaker who wants a pro style editing platform with great quality, but ease of use, as compared to Final Cut programmes. That's also why iMovie HD6 was designed to work solely with miniDV tape cams, in either SD or HD format. DV Stream is a lossless format that produces superior results to any of the other high compression formats, such as AVCHD.
So, you need to spend more money to get HD DVDs, but your quality will suffer using iMovie 08, which your camcorder forces you to do. Perhaps some consideration of a suitable cam to begin with will be of help.

We have recently converted all our forms into livecycle. Some of our executives would like to use them on an iPad. I have not been successful so far. Is there a way to do this?

You would have to use AEM Forms to take the XDP you designed and render the template as HTML5 for viewing on the iPad.

I cannot edit a PDF file. When I try it redirects me to payment screen and I have already paid for this! I would like to talk to someone per phone. You have easily taken my money and I would like support.

"Adobe dc program"???
Such does not exist; at least not from Adobe.
As has been asked - What, specifically, was subscribed to? It is identified on the receipt Adobe provides for each subscription account one opens.
Be well...

My grandkids have moved away and I would like to see them by video but she has a Ipad and I don't know what to download to be able to see them. Help, I miss them so much.

My grandaughter has an IPAD and I have a Toshiba computer with Windows 7. My grandkids have moved away and I want to be able to see them by video but my daughter says that I have to download Apple and get facetime? I'm not real computer savvy but I desperately want to see my grandkids. Could you help me please?
Thanks

Good morning.
FaceTime will not work on a Windows computer. But, I believe that SKYPE has an application that will run on the iPad. So, if you go to SKYPE.com you can see their offerings. You will need to create an account (there may be a fee) and you will need a web camera for your Toshiba ( a Logitech 5500 comes to mind, assuming it does not have one built in already).
Your grandkids will also need to set up a SKYPE account. After that, you should be able to video chat to your heart's content.
Hope this is helpful.

I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to give it away with the apps, but have all personal data deleted, app can no longer be found in the apple store and I'd like to to be able to keep it

I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to delete all personal content, and be signed out of my Apple ID as well, but there are apps that no longer exist on the apple store that I would like to keep.

Do this:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

There is no way to track your device without Find My iPhone turned on. Here are some suggestions for what you can do at this point:

I have a terabyte of movies that I would like to put on a the cloud so that I can access them via iTunes anywhere. The movies are almost all .avi. I have tried to drag them to my iTunes on my laptop but have not been able to transfer 1 single file.

Can anyone help me import .avi movies to a cloud drive so that I can play them on my iPad when I'm traveling. It is one of the only reasons I purchased the thing and I cannot figure out how to access my personal movie files from a "cloud" drive.

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

I would like to upgrade Firefox to version 5 from version 3.6.19, but have not been able to???

The computer I have is a Mac G4 with system 10.5.8 installed and working well.
The processor is 1GHZ
The memory is 768 MB DDR SDRAM
I hate the idea of giving up this computer, just because I can't run the latest version of Firefox.

Sorry, Firefox 4 and later version don't support PPC Macs.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

I would like to see my videos that are store on a "backup" drive. I can only access my photos on my C drive.

I have videos on my G drive that I would like to watch through my Apple TV. But all I can access with iTunes are my photos on my C drive.
What can I do to access them with Apple TV and iTunes homeshare?

Currently you can't. Tell Apple though

I would like to 'see and hear' my mac book pro output on my TV how do I ?

I have a new Mac book Pro and I would like to 'see and hear' the Audio and video on my television. My tv has 2 audio phono RCA jacks on the side and 1 video RCA jack on the side. It also has a s-video as well on the side (I have never used s-video.) My Mac Book Pro came with a DVI to VGA little cable adapter but how do I use this to get to my TV inputs? Do I have to buy from Apple, (or somewhere else), that cable called DVI to Video Adapter? but then that is only for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the headphone socket? And if this is the only way why hasn't Apple made their DVI out socket a dual purpose output ie: Video AND audio, like the mini DVI for the G4 powerbooks? Please help. If anyone has also come across this problem. I want to see my timeline in FCP on the TV before I put it to tape. Thanks.
Thanx

You need a DVI or VGA to svideo adapter. They aren't cheap.
but then that is only
for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the
headphone socket?
Yup.
And if this is the only way why
hasn't Apple made their DVI out socket a dual purpose
output ie: Video AND audio, like the mini DVI for the

Because DVI carries only video. Apple is using a new video card in the MBP with different abilities.
Please help. If anyone has also come

Most people doing this are using TV's with DVI/HDMI inputs.

I would like to see targets have "fly-in" animation capabilities...

I would like to see targets have "fly-in" animation capabilities to be used with menus, panels, etc. I would be great to click on a trigger and have a menu fly in from left, right, top or bottom - control it the way you do with scrolling effects.

Hi scott2134
Apple techs/developers don't monitor these fora officially, we are just fellow users here.
You are not alone in wanting various apps for AppleTV - I have mixed feelings and suspect there are some difficulties getting rights/apps for all countries which may be aprt of the issue.
You may know you can 'Airplay' some internet media from iPhones/iPads/current Macs, but even then some iPhone apps block sending the video to AppleTV due to licensing restrictions

How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.
