Is it possible to have the time code follow the footage on playback?

Hey everybody.
I searched the forums, but I didn't find anything relevant to my question.
My question is, is it possible to have time code follow your footage on playback?
For example, when I scrub along the clip, the clip will tell me the entire length at the first thumbnail, but then as I scrub along, there is no time code, so I am unable to know how far along the sequence I am.
I was talking to a faculty member, and he was told to grab certain portions of the footage, and he is wondering if this is possible within iMovie '09. I know that this feature is available in iMovie '06 and Final Cut Pro (of course), but I just started working with iMovie '09 last week, and wanted to know if this is possible.
Any help is appreciated, and please let me know if I need to further clarify my question.

If you click VIEW/SHOW PLAYHEAD INFO, you will see the timecodes as you scrub. (Consumer timecodes, not pro timecodes).
This works if you imported your footage from a camcorder, either miniDV or AVCHD.
However, if you have imported an analog file, or saved a DV file to a QuickTime File, you may just see the file creation date in VIEW PLAYHEAD.
However, there is a trick to getting even these clips to display timecodes if you know the start time.
First pick a clip. Make a copy and drag it to your desktop, just so you don't lose anything.
Rename this copy in the following format clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.current file extension.
For example, clip-2001-07-14 09;30;45.mov (note the space between the day and the hour)
This would be a .mov clip that starts with the first frame at July 14, 2001 at 9:30:45 AM
Then import the clip into iMovie. You now have timecodes at the playhead.

Youshould set one of them up to extend the wireless network. That one would not need an Ethernet connection and would allow your network to cover a broader area.

Is possible to have a time machine backup on an external hd connected to either a primary or secondary router and not have "back to my mac" using 10.7.3?

Is possible to have a time machine backup on an external hd connected to either a primary or secondary router and not have "back to my mac" using 10.7.3?

The bottom line is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. If they don't support their own router, they certainly don't support other routers from other manufacturers.
Connect the drive directly to the Mac using either USB or FireWire.....or....use a Time Capsule. Either of these setups will be supported.
If you want to try the unsupported method(s), you can certainly do so. But, I would suggest that you have a secondary backup plan in place if this is important data that you will be backing up.

Is it possible to have the camera lens replaced?

Some how my camera lens has gotten scratched up, so now every time I take a picture it comes out blurry. Is it possible to have the lens replaced? Has anyone ever had that done?

I don't believe Apple does this. They will exchange your phone under an out of warranty exchange for $149

Is it possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up while I am charging my iPhone 4S?

Is is possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up, and not go dark, while I am charging my iPhone 4S? I would like to turn off the sounds and vibrate but still be able to see the clock and see if any new messages come in.
Also, is there a setting or an app that will turn off all my sounds and vibrate at a given time, say 10pm and then turn it back on at 7am?

No and no.

Hey Mantas,
Do not expect that feature any time soon. I do not even see that being a feature this year.
Considering all that is going on and required to be finished and sorted a lot more is/will need to be done.
In terms of what you can do I have done things like used the refer a friend form which you can style and use that to send emails out to the needed people. I have submitted multiple web forms with ajax etc as well.
You have the custom fields for the people and emails (if not you can add them) and you can use those to send emails off to people, you just do not have a workflow so your not pestered with it but the notification message is the one that goes out and can have a template applied.
So there is a number of things you can do to get that going along those lines. I have done a few variations of this on different sites.
Warning note though - Ajax submission for custom web forms has a total character limit (all fields) of 1024 characters, which is not a lot.

Is is possible to have the images as thumbnails and make it so you can click on them for a larger view and then click them again to have it go back to the original size? In an interactive pdf?

I am designing an interactive catalog in a pdf. Is it possible to have the images as a thumbnail and then click them to enlarge the image and then click again to make them go back to the original size?
Thank you in advance!
Stephanie

It can be done with Show/Hide buttons:
Here's a button created from a small version of the image (notice that it's selected in the image below):
The small button has a Show/Hide Buttons and Forms action. It's action is to make the Larger Image visible (eyeball turned on) with the small image hidden (eyeball turned off).
The large image is also turned into a button (shown below):
Notice the checkbox "Hidden Until Triggered". The large button is hidden until it's triggered by the small button. Clicking on the large image also causes a Show/Hide action which shows the Small button and hides the large button.

For any given Bookmarks folder, is it possible to have the subfolders appear *above* individual links?

For any given Bookmarks folder, is it possible to have the subfolders all appear *above* the individual links (as they do in Internet Explorer), rather than mixed together alphabetically? (Or is there perhaps an add-on that will allow me to do this?)

Provisional solution is to place one or more zeros in front of your folder names, that way they should always appear on top in their alphabetical order.

Is it possible to have the loudspeaker activate automatically during voice call?

When answering and making voice calls, is it possible to have the loudspeaker activate automatically during the voice call? Is there any settings on the device which can be changed for this to happen?

Thanks cor-el! I had tried that out, but was turned off by the different workflow (can't click Tab to select the address suggestions) and assumed by the look that I couldn't use my Smart Keywords for searches.
In fact, the workflow isn't that much bulkier and the Location Bar is fully functional:
* ''for a search: Ctrl+L, (Smart Keyword +) [search terms], Enter''
* ''for a suggested address: Ctrl+L, Down, Enter, Enter''
Still, it would be nice in future versions if:
# the Location Bar could automatically open when opening a (blank) new tab (just as the cursor automatically goes to the Location Bar when a new tab is opened with the Navigation Toolbar showing) to avoid the Ctrl+L step of the workflow
# the Tab, Enter workflow could be enabled for selecting address suggestions in the pop-up Location Bar
Or (most simply in my mind):
if '''the Navigation Toolbar could be set to show when a (blank) new tab is opened and disappear once an address/search is selected'''.

Is it possible to have the crop marks where you want when making a PDF?

Is it possible to have the crop marks where you want when making a PDF?
So if I have an Indesign document 84x55 with a 3mm bleed but I want a PDF from that document to crop at 85x55 (adding .5mm to the left and right of the PDF), the crop marks are offset by 3mm but I want the left and right crop to be .5mm out into the bleed and not at the document edge.
Resizing the Indesign file is ruled out for the moment.
Thanks, Tim

The automatic crop marks will always indicate the trim size of the document as defined in Document Setup, so the simple answer is no. You will need to draw custom crop marks in the slug area. You can set the slug area my clicking More Options in Document Setup.
This is a highly unusual request. The purpose of crop marks is to indicate the one and only trim area for the page. Why do you want crop marks that don’t match the document size?
