Imac 8.1 Leopard 10.5.8 for editing FCP X new version.

I was using this Imac for light editing but I want to improve it at it best. My idea is Add FCP X add more memory ram and if possible a DVD blue ray burner for HD. Can I do that? How many GB of ram I can put in?. Should I upgrade to Snow leopard?. What I have to do to add a Blue ray burner? (any recommendation?) This is a good idea, or it's to much for this computer?
Thanks..

Hi Pete ---
Thnx for the quick reply and info - H.264 has been ok for me - overloads were just from normal usage, no QT involved....unless H.264 is working away in the background somehow?... eh? QT is necessary for Logic 8 ... am i right? could there be other unecessary items working that can be disabled? ...there are a lot of things in this that i dont use (score for one) it could be a great idea to have Logic more 'customisable' --- if that's a word.
As ever, its going to take a few updates before things run smoothly on a new OS, but....wow. -- best that people continue to put their issues up here with configuration info, i think. -- maybe 'someone will see' for future fixes in the updates....is that how it works? if so, cool. for the here and now, this is still one of the best spaces to get some quick fixes & dialog --- Logic Pro Help is a good one too.
http://www.logicprohelp.com
I hope Apple are considering an online help team - there seems to be loads of helpful bods on here that could be of assistance with something like that.... Pete, speak to them will ya ?!!! haha -- I doubt the Logic team have walked out the room for a permanent vacation yet....i hope. With some of these 10.5 & LP8 things going on, NO CHANCE!! "...Oi you lot, get back to work!!..."
re; my LP8/Leopard situ, I've decided to just swap things around. Logic 8 & 10.4.10 goes back on the P.Book, Leopard can go on the HDD.... simple.
ta loads for the reply Pete ---
Cheers,
J.

how can i get an older version of facebook for iphone 3g the new version isnt compatible with the current 3g IOS

If you didn't save an older version on your computer from a previous download, then there is no way to get one.
You can access the mobile web page through Safari.

Where is the restore button for iPhones on the new version of itunes

I have bought an iPhone 4 which was on orange ee.

Can someone let me have the process for resetting a network unlocked phone through iTunes.

I need to add to this that when I connect to iTunes the screen just brings up a message sim needs activating but I tried the sim in a voda iPhone and it works so the sim is good

Checking for updates and downloading new versions of iTunes

When I open iTunes and check for udpates, I get a message saying; "A new version of iTunes is available. Would you like to download it now?" When I click Yes, nothing happens. To download the new version, I have to go to the Apple website and download it from there. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?

After downloading the new update on Saturday 11-27-10 my iphone now freezes up, I contacted the help line and they informed me for a "small fee" of $30.00 they would tell me how to fix it. WHAT?? The store recommends the updates and after loading the updates, my phone now wants to freeze up and stay frozen for 30 minutes and it is constantly asking me for my password and you want to charge me for a bug in your software?? I am soooo disappointed with I-tunes and after encouraging friends and family to buy this product I am now discouraging them!!!!

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Binding different events to a form depending if it is used for edit or create new.

Hi,
I succesfully have separated presentation from logic (events, etc...) using the code behind article at adobe site. This is pretty nice but now I have a little problem. Think about I have two forms one for edit and the other to add a new user. Usually this forms are allmost the same only some logic change and just few controls if any.
What I would like to do (don't know if this is best way to do it, for me it does):
1) Create Add form.
2) Create a view state to change this add form to edit when needed (I think just few changes if any will be needed)
3) Now the problem, I need to bind different logic if I'm in edit or add new user form. Is there any way to attach different functionality
to the form component to let it behave the way I need depending on the mode (edit or new)? I have seen include can be used but can it be used conditionally?
Example:
    if( in edit mode)
        include ("src/usermanagement_editlogic.as"))
    else( in add mode)
        include ("src/usermanagement_addlogic.as"))
As I previously said I'm pretty new to flex but I think this is a good way to do things and have everything splitted. If anyone has a better way to do it I would be really happy to hear it .
Thanks in advance,
Aron.

Using forms for create/edit or login/register are similar scenarios. Usually, you can take care of those by simply changing states.
Doing different includes is complicating things; you can just include all the code, and just use what you need depending on the state you are in.
Before you get into conditionally including things, or creating a bunch of different events, look at this little simple tutorial on using states, which happens to use a login/register form as an example: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/creating_states/.

Where do i find the older versions of ibooks for the iPad Gen1 new versions cannot work

Where can i find older versions of iBooks for the Gen1 iPad the newer versions require an OS upgrade Gen 1 cannot support?

Try downloading them with iTunes on your computer. Then go to the store on your iPad and, if the developer supports it, you should see a link to legacy versions.
Good luck.

Best quality for editing fcp with p2 standard definition and canon elura 100 widescreen

I am editing on FCP 7. Three cameras were used. Panasonic HPX 500 set in standard def 4x3, another small panasonic that shoots standard def was used only it was set a 16x9 and an even smaller Canon NTSC Elura 100 was set on widescreen (16x9). My mistake is I want them look the best they can (at 16x9 or 4x3) when burned to DVD. I would prefer to go with 4x3 and crop the 16x9s. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 ; 2 Dual Core Intel Xeon 2.66 gHx and AJA Kona card. The question is: What is the BEST setting for log & capture of each device and what is the BEST sequence setting to build my project on. Right now everything looks like it has a soft shadowy image (basically low quality image - probably because it is mostly low quality... even the HPX 500 looks bad because I expanded it to fit the 16x9 screen of my sequence. And here's a strange event, even though my sequence setting is 720x480 the screen aspect ratio comes out 16x9... go figure. I seem to know less and less about this business every day. If anybody is willing to offer some advice on how I can make Chicken Salad out of this Chicken Shi_, I'd love to hear it. I hope it's just a settings problem on the ingest or sequence side.
Thanks,
KennyRay

Wrong forum. This is the FCP X forum. You should post your question in the Final Cut Studio one.

Why does "check for updates" not download new version of itunes?

On windows XP FP 3, if I start Itunes of late I get a messsage that there is a new (10.5.3) version of itunes to download. I agree to download iTunes, and itunes freezes up for a bit, then nothin. Suggestions? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every time this happens.

Check for updates is intended for use after production when we might have small changes to 1-2 files. Our current releases have many changes to many files and might almost be as large as the download. Also, we are still making structural changes to the storage of the code (shifting around preferences, etc). For the Early Adopter Releases, we really want people to download and install in a clean directory. After production, we will support check for update.

Eject Button for IPOD missing in New Version of ITUNES

What happened to the button?

Hi,
I see that there is an eject button when you plug your ipod into your computer under Devices. The little arrow ejects your ipod and if that doesn't work, you can always do Safely Remove from the bottom right of your screen.
Hope that helps

In Pages 5.0.1 option to set password for editing document is gone when exporting as a pdf

In last version of Pages, I would make a proposal to a customer and then go to 'share' and then choose 'PDF' from the drop down. Next screen allowed me to choose the option of password protecting the document from being edited. This new version of Pages only seems to allow setting a password for opening the document. I do not need to password protect the document from being opened, just edited. Any help for this new problem? Apple always seems to remove features that are so helpful and useful when they 'upgrade' apps., very frustrating!

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

That's it really.

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.
