Is there anything better than a new iphone?

Hello,
My 3G iphone is coming to the end of its contract and I can get a new phone. I have an imac desktop so I am looking for something that will sync my diary, contacts and music easily. Are there any cheaper alternatives to the iphone? Im not sure I want another one...

If you are running a Mac OS less than Lion, there are literally hundreds of iSync compatible phones.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2824 for natively supported devices.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2520 for devices supported via a third party iSync plugin.
Other Mac syncing solutions for non-Apple phones include the "Missing Sync" range of products, "Blackberry Desktop Manager" for Blackberry devices, and "SyncMate". Check the websites for lists of phones these products support.

Is there anything better than the cloud app

I am new to the "cloud" and although I understand FTP pretty well, I don't understand the cloud very well. I am going on vacation with my ipad and want to take along some word documents and an mp3 file to transcribe some audio.
I have the pages app and can drag the word docs into pages and the .mp3 into itunes, but this is a projec that I want to save in a folder. Anything I create I want to save in a folder and want to be able to download it to my MAC and visa versa when I get home.
Anything free app out there with the ability to let me download and store a folder. Can I also have full access to this folder on my ipad without having pages documents and mp3 documents spread all over my ipad?
Hope this isn't to confusing. I wished Ipad had a usb port.
Thanks

I agree on DropBox.
In DropBox, Favorite (Star) the files (documents, MP3...) when you are on-line. They will be available when you are off-line. Test access to your files in Airplane mode before you leave home.
To bring the document into an app (e.g., Pages), use 'Open In..'.. the MP3, you can just tap in DropBox.
There are solutions to get files back from different apps to DropBox, but honestly it is probably just easiest to email it to yourself (and then use your Mac to copy the final file back to DropBox for reference purposes).
Have a good vacation.

Is there anything better than iPihoto?

Hi there,
I'm a long time iPhoto user, but I think I'm out growing it. I have about 5000 photos in my library now (and no, I don't want to split it into smaller libraries). I have a 1ghz PowerMac G4 and the speed of iPhoto isn't that bad. The issue I have is that I about to get a dSLR and I think I will be taking much more photos, so I see my library growing faster.
I'm about to keyword tag all my photos with people, places, and things, and rate all the photos (I know, major job, but I'm anal enough to do it Before I undertake such and job, I want to know that my work won't be wasted.
Here are my criteria for my image management program:
1) easy to use
2) Albums, or the ability to place photos in virtual containers
3) keywords with ease of entering and assigning them
4) ratings (1-5 is fine)
5) web publishing. here's the hard one. I don't want to create web galleries from my library, I want to have the library dynamically published. Right now I use iPhoto and iPhotoWebShare, which works pretty well. I want more. I want the ability to search by keyword, not unlike how you can search within iPhoto. Ideally, the search would let the user search by keywords and ratings. I'm not above writing my own web system (i'm in the process of dumping the iPhoto data to a sqlite database, and then writing a php search engine), so if there is no native web publishing, at lease good scripting capabilities to get the data out.
I figure the obvious choices are cumulus, portfolio, and iview. iPhoto might still fit the bill, but it just seems fragile. Maybe iPhoto 6 will use core data and we will have direct sqlite access to the database (cool), but until that is announced, I'm not willing to hold my breath.
Any ideas?

Allan
I was in a similar situation to you, and decided to go with Portfolio.
I'm currently in the process of migrating my iPhoto libraries to Portfolio, and I'm very impressed by the sotware. Most important thing for me is stability (closely followed by feature set) and it hasn't crashed once so far.
It easily takes care of items 1 to 3, though I'm not sure about item 4 (I'll check when I go home tonight); I use a "Favourite" keyword, rather than a rating system. And, even if it doesn't, you could replicate it using keywords of 0 through 5.
I use a combination of real, physical "watch" folders (I like to store the originals in folder(s) based on date taken), smart folders (keywords, etc..), and virtual folders (events, vacations).
To meet #5, Portfolio 7 comes with a basic version of NetPublish that allows for one concurrent connection to the website per hour. If this isn't sufficient, you'll have to pay for the full version of NetPublish.
Obviously, Portfolio's a serious financial investment ($200), so I'd recommend you take a look at the 30 day trial version and see what you think. There's also copious documentation available at their web site.

Okay, so WHY is intel's legacy driver way better than the new one?

I bit the bullet and installed the intel-legacy video driver because I wanted to see if it was true that the old one was better than the new.
Result: Compiz is REMARKABLY smoother. As in, I'd forgotten just how pretty a silky smooth Compiz setup really is. I've done no benchmarking, don't care to. The point is, for example, I can set the opacity to 85% in the Move Window plugin and it doesn't hose the framerate.
My question is, why? What's going on in the new driver that made the performance totally tank? When there's a new driver and EVERYONE seems to have the same problem, I'm a little confused as to why they "improved" it.

Not only KMS, but also DRI2 and GEM. The next Intel video driver release should support only UXA, getting rid of the legacy cruft and concentrating on supporting one option properly.

What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

Anything better than Canon XL-2?

My company is needing to purchase a new camera because our XL-1 is pixelating and tiling - I've tried the fixes but none seem to be a reliable fix. We've lost a lot of video because of that. I've looked at the XL-2 and love all the features. I was just wondering if there is another camera on the market that you would recommend in comparison to the XL-2. We don't need a HD camera and all our setup is based around miniDV. I appreciate any suggestions!

Bad is in the eye of the beholder .. and the ability of the shooter, no doubt. Because I work with cameramen who are not always the most seasoned, a more simple "out of the box" camera seems to fair better: Tho I still contend the Panasonic and Sony always seem to look good
Problem with the Canon is mostly around the auto-iris (mind you, I edit I don't shoot so I don't know what the specific functions are called)and for sure the autofocus. I always reccomend not using autofocus but some guys are going to go there, and the Canon's seems particulary sensitive, which in a live event sceneario leaves the editor with a mess on his hands
Also, in a lower light situation (again, in the live event world this can be unavoidable due to some clients insisting on no lights) the Cannon does not seem to match up against the Sony; when boosting the setup or gamma in post, you tend to see a lot more grain with the Cannon.
The tapes I've seen from the Cannon never seem to have the chroma right; colors seem a bit skewed towards the green and the blacks are fairly crushed
Again, I'm sure with the right lighting conditions, different lenses etc you could produce a nice image with the Cannon. I actally worked on a TV wedding show where they shot with XL2s and it looked nice .. but they used lighting setups that would be impossible for us in the real world. So, sure, caveats always apply
All said and done tho, I would give the nod to the Panasonic and the Sony

Anything better than apple?

Hi,
After finding my bedroom Pansonic TX-26LXD60 incompatible with my MacBook Pro - the outsides of the outputted screen can't be seen (toolbar and dock etc.) and seeing that I won't be able to use the 46" Bravia sitting downstairs much because it is the main tv for the household and my parents won't like me, certainly as a long term solution, using it, I'm looking for a monitor to use with my new computer.
I have a PS3 which functions as my TV when needed but it obviously has to output to something.
I would like the Apple 24" to be honest, but are there any adaptors to change that mini-displayport to HDMI?
I like the USB ports on the back and the capability to charge my MacBook Pro, they are huge benefits.
If not, what would you recommend for a 24"-26" monitor (resolution needs to be 1920x1200 or greater) within the price range of the Apple?
Thanks all,
Fred

You can use the mini to stream stuff. Buying the Apple TV would be mostly redundant if you already need to buy the mini for regular computer use.

Is there something better than CMD+Z for mass UNDOs?

After a month of superb Macprovideo training in FCPX and futile searches of the "worthless" FCPX help[less] document, I cannot find more on a VERY BASIC subject that pertains to everybody using FCPX.
EDITING HISTORY: Since we have NO control over our SAVES, how do you undo the last 50 changes --or-- undo everything since 10am? Do I have to hit CMD+Z until I get callouses? I did see a reference to TIMELINE HISTORY but the doc is skimpy & doesn't seem relevant.
If there is a window that shows a chronological order of changes & time with the option to UNDO, that would be great. If I've missed it, please advise.
Thank you for time & thoughts.

Thank you R&B, you're an officer & a gentleman.
BTY- I can never figure out why folks on this (and all other forums) have ALIAS names. If they don't know you by your real name, then I can't see the purpose of an alias.

Is there one better than D90?

I have stared doing youth sports photography and up until this point I have chosen outdoor sports as my old reliable camera could handle it. Starting this year I am taking on indoor sports and some awards ceremonies that are notorious for the low light conditions and bad pictures due to this. I am looking for a camera with a high shutter speed but I also want it to be able to take great pictures in low light conditions of objects that are moving. I have found iti s next to impossible to have a child stand still in low light even for just a snapshot of them! I was reading the reviews for the D90 and there were some comments that it takes great low light pictures as long as there is no movement. Can anyone suggest a good camera with an auto setting that takes great lowlight pictures of things that ARE moving. Thanks!!

Well you are going to have to invest in faster lenses. I'm assuming you still have the 'kit' lenses. Maybe try a Nikon 17-55mm F2.8, Nikon 24-80 F2.8 or Nikon 70-200 F2.8 (or their 3rd party equivelents). Raise the ISO up has high as you can without getting too much noise.

Anything Better Than OMF or AAF?

I've been going back and forth trying to figure out a way to make a self contained and consolidated Soundtrack Pro file to send to another computer for mixing. Our process is that of a post house where editing is normally done in one room and then it's sent to audio in a different room. It seems to me that Apple and only thought about one computer operations and never thought about seemless transfers to other computers. Here are the processes I have tried so far:
-exporting an OMF out of Final Cut and importing it into Soundtrack Pro. The problem here is that stereo tracks are not kept in tackt when opening up in Soundtrack Pro which is a nightmare to edit.
-exporting an AAF out of Final Cut and importing it into Soundtrack Pro. This problem is the same as above except it also makes duplicates of all mono tracks.
-sending the sequence from Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro, then saving the project and copying all media. This problem is that it doesn't consolidate the media and I end up with a huge folder of audio.
In all three of these scenarios, crossfades are intact, but end fades never show up, which can also be a bit of a problem. When exporting a session out of Final Cut for audio, I can never seem to find a way to make two mono tracks into a stereo track for ease of editing and mixing. I've tried grouping tracks and sending them to a submix to treat them as a stereo pair, but editing grouped tracks doesn't really work like I would have expected it. If anyone has any help or suggestions it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-b

Try saving the project with all its media in a single folder.
1. Save or Save As
2. Click the *New Folder* button and name the folder
3. Check the box to *Collect All Media*
4. Click Save
Now you have a folder with a stmp file and a media folder containing all the elements. Move that to the other mixing station.

Anything better than Time Machine Buddy??

I'm not satisfied with the fact that this Widget does not appear to give me a History of backups and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other tools to monitor the state of my backup.
I have a 2TB Time Capsule and I just got into my MacPro (1TB) and MacBookPro (150 GB) backups by entering Time Machine on each machine and I see that on the left hand side my MacBookPro goes back to September of 2011 (great) but the MacPro on the left hand side only shows that this backup goes back 1 day (very bad).
Is there something that will let me check this kind of information instead of what appears to be simply a report on the last /successfull/ backup?
Thanks.

I see. Thanks Bob.
This will show what has been backed up by way of files on each Time Machine backup - say in addition to simply saying "Here are the last fifteen or twenty or thirty successful backups and their dates"?
You know what I mean?
I mean, I think I really only need it to show me a large number of successful backups and their dates so that I can see this in time and not have to actually get into Time Machine to see this if that makes sense.
Thank you/
