IBooks saving for the future

How can I save a book I have read with all highlights and notes an then retrieve it later on a different hardware

Here is what I have done. You should have a dedicated internal drive for your production files. Mine is and always will be drive 'P'. Before I start a project I go to the computer store and buy two HDD. One 500gb internal and on 500gb external usb (I use My Book). I label and store the existing internal drive and replace that with a clean one for the new project. I also replace the My Book drive used to back it up each day with the new My Book.
Each day I use SyncToy to freshen the backup of the internal production drive on the external usb drive. It takes very little time once you are only copying daily changes.
When the project is over I archive the project to a third location (my documents) using the project manager and replace both of the drives with fresh drives for the next project. I label finished project drives and put one in my fireproof save (the internal HDD) and store the My Book one at an offsite location. This costs about $225 per project.
This seems to me to be a small price to pay.
One caution: Make sure that all of your assets are stored an accessed from that internal drive or you may find them missing when you try to reload.
Just my two cents.

After the edit - saving for the future

I have been editing for several years on 6.5 and more recently CS3. I have typically finished the project, done an edit export and master of the video, then blown everything on the hard drives away.
I have come to a point where I'd prefer to save something/everything that would allow me to restore and re-edit should it be needed. Has anyone else done this? Is an EDL the answer? Appreciate any feedback and instruction you can offer about this.
Thanks,
John

I want to borrow my wife's iPad for a trip but have access to my iBooks account. If I change her login access will that mess up her books for the future?

I assume that iBooks is limited in the same way that iTunes and the App store are. That is, you can only change the AppleID associated with a device once every 90 days.

So if you log out of the iBook store with her AppleID, and use yours, you will have to wait 90 days before she can use her AppleID with that same device again.

I want to upgrade my 2008 Mac pro to the latest one, will it meet the requirement for the future Software that's coming out for the next four years?

I'd wait. What can't you do that you need? You mean you want to buy a new model, then why not wait for an actual new one, not the two year old 5,1, when you need to and have outgrown.
Yours will run Mountain Lion. yours is 4 yrs old and still supported and has life left.

Planning for the future...

I've just started using Garageband to write my own music but as I'm more used to pro studios I'm finding it a little limiting, and consequently looking to upgrade to Logic.
This will probably mean buying a new machine. So, can anyone give me some bits of advice?
- What is the minimum size of Mac I should be looking at?
- Will any off-the-shelf mac be able to cope with running Logic and recording, or do I need to get anything customised?
- Should I use one machine exclusively for music?
- I will be recording anything from vocals to guitars, so what sort of interface should I be looking at?
- Is it as simple to write songs in Logic, or does it make sense to use GB as a "scratch pad" for building basics and then transfer to Logic to "take it to the next level"? Or am I just over complicating things?
- Should I really be doing this? Help...

1. You've got to be more specific
2. Yes, but a RAM upgrade is customary. 1GB should be considered an absolute minimum. A Hard drive for audio is also good if you use many tracks or samples,
3. That depends on what else you do. I don't do it. It is a good idea if you need it to work under high stress sutuation every day...otherwise you could start with 1 and see how things go.
4. Vocals to guitars...well if that's all you need...then an interface with 1 in and 2 outs would be the absolute minimum....realistically you should plan for the future. Get a sytem which has more I/O than you think you'll need and is expandable...someday you may need to record a drumkit and may have to start all over if you chose poorly. For I/O... I would consider more than you think you'll need. If you think you may need 2 ins max... consider 4 ins 4 outs...this is very small number of I/Os today. But if you know your needs ahead of time getter better converters instead of more is a very good idea (espescially if the system can expand well).
5. They share amny things... I find GB cumbersome to edit, whereas somebody else finds it's lack of features perfect for no distraction. I think eventually you'd just start using Logic full time. There are things GB won't touch.

Settings NOT saved for the iPod, because- not found

I've a lot of regular changes to make when updating my music library on my iPod. But when I'm in the middle of doing so - that is using TAB "Music" (which "Sync Music" enabled) - and checking all relevant playlists, an error appears:
"The settings were not saved for the iPod “<my iPod name>” because it could not be found."
I don't know what to do because the only related articles all dates back to… 2007! That's 5 years ago!!!
Of course I tried all the solutions of 2007, and when I do other errors occur like:
"iPod sync failed" OR… my iPod simple disappears from the list (and even DEVICES doesn't shows up anymore in the left pane).
THANKS for helping me.

Can you post a link to the article you are referring to?
I assume you have tried using a nother USB sync cable to help rule out the possibility of a faulty one? What about plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your Mac?
It might help to remove any other USB devices you have connected to the Mac. Then reboot the Mac as well as your iPod by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try to resync.
Could you provide the full text from the error messages you are referring to?
Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).

I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow. I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

I do not want a update automatic obligatory for the future firefox !!! Are we able to choose?

I do not want a update automatic obligatory for the future firefox !!! Are we able to choose? PLEASE WE WANT CHOOSE !

Hit Alt then T then O. It will open the options dialog. Select the Advanced Tab, then select the Update tab. There will be an option to not check for updates. I would however strongly encourage you to upgrade to the latest firefox. It's much safer, faster, and easier to use.

Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

Hello.
I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
PS: ok
Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

IWeb Bugs and a wish for the future. :)

Hi there,
Two issues that I've found moving my photoblog to iWeb, and I'm wondering if they are bugs or issues that the community knows about:
1. I've changed the template I used a lot - font colours, background, etc. Now when I create a new blog entry, it uses the old, standard template and I have to change everything again. Is there a way to make iWeb realise that I've changed my "default" template settings so all new entries remain the same? It seems not. This is my feature wish.
2. Related to this, I solve this problem by just duplicating one of my existing pages and then changing the photo and content and date. The PROBLEM with this is where i think the bug exists. In iWeb, when I click Next/Previous, it goes between the different entries in chronological order, as expected... but when it publishes to .Mac, the next/previous buttons are really messed up, linking to articles/pages that are not even close to being near them in order. I've been able to determine that:
a. Create three new entries in iWeb. Works good.
b. Duplicate the middle entry, put it LAST in the order.
c. The NEXT button on this new, last entry links to the third item, just as the original 2nd item did before I duplicated it.
Is there any way to make iWeb re-calculate the next and previous buttons before you publish it? Or even better, any Apple folks around that can confirm/escalate this?
UPDATE: It's also possible that iWeb is ordering the next and previous buttons based on the time the entry was created in iWeb, rather then the time specified on the entry. If you are porting older entries from a previous blog, this can be a pain because you're not necessarily putting entries in from oldest to newest.
Either way - the behaviour isn't as expected: next and previous buttons ordered by the date specified in the iWeb 'Entries' window.
3. This is more advanced, but seems a bug none the less. I use .Mac publishing, because it's integrated and easy. But I also have my down domain, which I have configured to just "forward" to my .Mac folder. So, when someone goes to www.mydomain.com, the server connects to web.mac.com/me/iWeb/ and makes the request, translating the path. This works really great (save some initial headaches with character encoding), but comments in iWeb blogs don't work when you do this.
They work directly when you go directly to .Mac, but something about the comment system requires that the client browser accurately present the URL to the .Mac server, and in my case, it's reporting my domain name. As a result, when you click to add a comment, you get a "there has been an error" page and it dies.
If this little annoyance could be fixed in a point release version of iWeb, that would be AMAZING.
4. Lastly, one more wish for the future. .mac domain hosting. Domains aren't just for businesses - lots of people have them for their blog/photos/etc now. If I could make my domain point to my .Mac web hosting without any messy translation, I'd be in heaven. I don't even care if I only get my single e-mail address on the domain - just the hosting would be so excellent.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It sounds like it! I ported about 10 new posts from my old MovableType installation last night and am seeing the same behaviour - duplicating entries definately breaks the chronological order of next/previous.
Apple?
Is there a place I can file a formal bug report?

Please begin to work more for the future dear Canon.

I love Canon and I am a Canon guy for long time, but dear Canon, you lose so much time brush up models that in short time would be overwhelmed (EOS models), please take a look at the New Pentax 645D Medium Format, Hasselblad and Phase One which is the future photography format. Please begin to work more for the future dear Canon. Sincerely George.

Hmmm..    20Mpix DSLR gives pin sharp A1/A0 prints.    How much more do people want?
How much more can people use!
I'll take great AF, great light sensitivity, Auto-ISO with exposure compensation in Manual, all sorts of usability features, but frankly the thing holding back my photos isn't the resolution...   and I only have 8Mpixels.
Perhaps Canon are working on a layered colour sensor that wouldn't need a bayer matrix, so buying 2 stops of sensitivity..   Now that I would buy!
Perhaps they'll bring back the eye-controlled AF/AE point selection..    oh yes pleeeese!

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
on horseback ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
Def not HiDef

How do I change the dpi setting when I am saving for the web?

I need to chnge the dpi setting from the default of 72 to 300 when saving for the web. How do I do that?

You go by pixel dimensions for the web because that's all that computer screens use.
dpi or rather ppi is a print specification.
In this example, Image > Image Size I have unchecked resampling and set the ppi to 300. You can see how small it's going to print on paper as opposed to maybe 100 ppi. It will still retain the same pixel dimensions.
You basically focus on a good pixel size for the the browser display.

Question for the future..

...is it planned to enable Question for the future..
Is it planned to enable Smartphone/PDA software to use Adobe3D futures.
I think it is an essential question for travel engineering buiseness.

Just for the future on the ipad air there seems tp be a white screen glitch after a certain amount of use. it would be great if this gets fixed. thanks

Just for the future on the ipad air there seems to be a white screen glitch after a certain amount of use. This needs to be fixed thanks

You are not talking to Apple here. We are all users trying to help one another solve issues with their iPads.
I have an iPad Air and have never experienced something that I would call a " white screen glitch."
Please explain exactly what is happening on your iPad, what you might have tried to fix it and what, if any, error messages you receive.
