Is this the best deal Im going to get from Apple (UK) online store?

Ok looking to buy my 1st ever iMac,
At moment if your a teacher (my sister is-is it ok to use her as the contact for buying in educational but still use my credit card to buy the iMac?) you can get the normal educational discount (about £50 (UK) off a £799 iMac) plus at moment you also get a free 4Gb new Nano - until the 30th Oct
Is this the best sort of deal Im goona get? I know Apple stuff is normally rigid in its prices, do you think there will be any better deals coming before Xmas? what about in the past has there been?
also I noticed Quidco are offering 4% commision so this is another approx £32 Uk I would get back as well with my extras I would want (320Gb HDD+wireless mouse)
sorry for the long post but please help
thanks

Amigo, the bottom line is that you are asking the wrong folks. Obviously no one here has experience buying from Apple with the jockeying around that you need to afford the purchase. In the end it is up to Apple. If the sale doesn't go through on the Apple Store website in her name on your bank card, then you may need other arrangements.
My experience with Apple is that if you are honest with them, they are honest with you. The education discount is to help students and teachers afford computers. It isn't so someone who qualifies can buy computers for all their relatives. Which is why there is an annual limit on how much is allowed for purchase to each person who qualifies for the discount
Good luck.

Is this really the best I'm going to get?

2 years with BT and had awful connection and speed issues, many numerous long calls to India doing first line tests, mostly being told that I would receive a call back and never do. Recently informed of an upgrade at the exchange but speeds dipped since and have not been any better since.
Been reading these forums for a while, I am plugged into master socket, the one with BT Openreach logo on, ring wire removed, connected for over 3 days, no other phones in sockets. I was always told as I am 1.6k from the exchange speeds were not to be great but next door shows as 4-6k, I'm lucky to have dial up speeds most of the time.
It appears that other people within feet of me are having decent speeds, mostly via Talk Talk I hasten to add but was told that it would make no difference as BT are the main supplier.
The quiet line check appears in order, no noises or crackles seems a little quiet but reported that online a week ago but not heard anything since.
I would be grateful and see from your experience is this really the best I'm going to get?

Anyone know how come the iPad 2 from Apple HK Online Store still unavailable?

Anyone know how come the iPad 2 from Apple HK Online Store still unavailable?
Did Apple offer engrave service purchase from other retail store outside?

As we are just fellow users, I don't think anybody here will know why they are unavailable (except for demand possibly being higher than supply). In terms of Apple engraving I think you can only get that direct from Apple - whether other stores offer their own engraving service I don't know.

Is this the product I need to create PDF from a form online?

Hello,
I need to develop an application where the user fills out an online form and a pdf is automatically created and emailed to them, a copy is also archived. Am I looking in the corect place by exploring LiveCycle PDF Generator or am I looking for something else? I am currently using php and MySQL but from the looks of it may be necesary to use XML. This is very new to me so any direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nils Satterstrom

I am in the same boat as Nils. Has anyone made any discoveries on this? I have a call in to a "specialist" at Adobe, but it will be 3-5 days before someone gets back to me. I want to collect the data using PHP/MySQL and then populate a PDF template of some sort to create a print-ready PDF that I can send to my printer.
An example of how we plan on using this is with business cards. We're going to create a business card template PDF with form fields for Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc. and then have the user enter in their information and then create a print-ready PDF we could send to the printer to get printed. I am unclear on which Adobe product would work for this. The pre-sales team at Adobe said we might want to look into InDesign server and LiveCycle. I guess the starting price tag for either of those is $10,000.
Any insight would be great. Thanks!

After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,

Is This The Best Way To Put iMovie Effects On An FCE Clip?

I have often suggested to other people that they should export clips from FCE to iMovie in order to make use of certain iMovie effects that FCE can't do.
As with most things there are several different ways of "transporting" the clips.
Bearing in mind that we want the quickest/lossless method possible, is this the best?
1. In the FCE Timeline double-click the clip.
2. Select File>Export>QuickTime Movie and click "Save".
3.Open a new iMovie Project, import the newly made QuickTime Movie clip and add the necessary effect.
4. Back in FCE, Import the QuickTime Movie from the iMovie Project.
Is this in fact the best way or do you know of a better/quicker one?
Ian.

Thanks for the confirmation, Tom.
By "clip" I was actually meaning a few seconds of video I had chopped up on the timeline.
What caught me out initially was when I simply highlighted the 10 second "clip" and selected QuickTime Movie.
The estimated time for conversion was around 10 minutes! It was actually making a QT Movie of the complete Sequence, not just the selected "clip". I soon realised that the "clip" needed double-clicking to ensure that only the required 10 seconds were converted.

Cfqueryparam numeric help - is this the best way

I have an update in one of my programs and I'm using the
cfqueryparam. It works fine if the value is not entered since the
type is cf_sql_varchar. If the value is cf_sql_integer/cf_sql_float
and the field is required, it again works fine. Now if the field is
cf_sql_integer and not required, it will throw an error if no value
is passed to it. I tried using the NULL parameter, but that will
put NULL in the field every time. I finally ended up using a cfif
statement to check. Is this the best way? Am I missing something?
How do others handle this?

Your's is as good a way as any. But since you asked, my
approach is usually like this:
Step 1, build a string variable called sql. Perform all your
if/else and other logic at this step.
Step 2
<cfquery>
#PreserveSingleQuotes(sql)#
</cfquery>
My method makes it almost impossible to use cfqueryparam
because of all the quotes. However, I find it easier to develop,
read, and maintain code when you have as much if/else, loop, etc
processing in the same block of code.
You might be able to do both. Something like
Step 1 - use if/else logic to set a variable (call it null)
to either yes or no.
Step 2
cfqueryparam null="#null#">
I've never actually tried. Most of my work is with a db that
does not support cfqueryparam so using it is not a high priority
item for me.

What is the best deal for iPhone 5s for my 13yr daughter upgrade from blackberry

I am looking for the best deal for myself and my 13 yr daughter to upgrade . She would like a iPhone 5s and I would like a iPhone 6 ,

My first thought would be to get you and your daughter a shared EE plan.
That way you have full control over your daughters plan with the ability to prevent her from buying more data etc. You would both get your own calls and text allowances, but you share just 1 data allowance between your handsets.
you would get just 1 bill a month as well with a shared EE plan.
The easiest way to buy shared plans is to either ring EE are call into your nearest EE store.

Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
You cannot get higher resolution by converting the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
Agreed.
You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie?
I am using iMovie 06 (Naturally) with iDVD 08. I have always used;
iMovie 06, File > Share to iDVD 08. And got pretty good results.
Some say the best way is to quit iMovie 06, open iDVD and import the movie from the Media button.
I have tried both methods in the results look the same. I'm interested in getting the very best quality possible.

You likely have one of the most expensive media converter boxes on the market today.
But does it work well with most macs? (my guess is that it does). But more specifically can it "handshake" with an intel based mac? I personally haven't tried it.
But you may want to read this for yourself if you haven't already:

Assuming it works then the best format is .dv which this unit will support apparently.
