Just installed 10.4 and have some installation questions
I just installed 10.4 and immediately updated it to 10.4.11. Unfortunately, when I installed 10.4, I had to do it as an Erase and Install, because of some issues that were keeping me from being able to Archive and Install. Anyway, I'm in the process of reinstalling all my software. I'll also need to re-create the Classic environment; I've never done this before, because when I first got this G4 it already had both OS 9 & 10 on it. I'd sure appreciate any tips anybody can give me as to what steps to go through to make the process as smooth as possible, and what else, if anything, besides running Repair Permissions I should do before/after/between installations. Any information that anyone can provide will be gratefully appreciated!
Hi-
You can install OS 9 after OS X has been installed, though the method varies depending on the OS 9 version that you have. If you have a retail version of OS 9:
-Start up from the CD, and open the Installer.
-Click the Options button in the Installer to access the clean installation option.
-Select the checkbox for clean installation.
-Install the software.
If your computer came with Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3, and a non-bootable Software Restore CD which includes Mac OS 9.2.2, do this:
-Open Software Restore, and select to restore only Mac OS 9.
-Open Classic preferences and verify that System Folder (the one that was just installed) is selected for the Classic environment.
More information is available in this document.
As everything is "new", you shouldn't need to worry about permissions.

Just installed CS6, but still have some need for CS4
I just installed CS6. I have a plug in (Lucis filters that don't want to load into CS6, and may not be compatible), so I still want to use my CS4.
If I open images from Bridge CS4, how can I get them to open in Photoshop CS4 instead of CS6?If you want an ongoing choice (and you're using Windows) you could put shortcuts to each of the two versions of Photoshop.exe on your desktop and drag images to whichever one you want to use.
Keep in mind you can only have one of them running at a time. If Photoshop CS6 is already open and you drag a file to Photoshop CS4's shortcut, it will still open in Photoshop CS6.

Just got a Macbook and have a few questions
Ok, so I just got my Macbook laptop today and because I have never owned a Mac product i just had a few questions
First off, is it safe to be plugged into the internet right off the bat or do I need to go out and buy some antivirus software? i have heard from some people that macs have built in antivirus and that they are also just in general less likely to get a virus then your average pc.
also just wondering, when i play a cd the disk reader/laser? whatever you would want to call it makes alot more noise then i expected it to. i didnt know if that was normal or not, and just wanted some opinions from other macbook users. thanks!!On these forums, just about anyone you ask will say that there is no reason to get antivirus software. Most mac users don't have any installed. It's not viruses on the mac you really need to be worried about; it's stupid stuff like phishing or scams - things that don't have anything to do with the operating system - that you just have to watch out for. You'll be fine without antivirus software. The thing I really liked about my mac (windows user all my life; switched 6 months ago, haven't regretted it) is that instead of worrying about viruses and keeping my anti-virus/spyware software always up to date, I was just able to start using my mac, right out of the box.
They do make antivirus software for macs. If you really are that worried about it, go to:

The ironic thing is that it checks for windows viruses (someone correct me if I'm wrong) so you don't pass them on. A windows virus won't have any effect on your mac.
Surf the net. Be productive. Stop worrying. Have fun. Welcome to Apple.

New to Editing and Have Some Important Questions
Greetings All,
I would consider myself a new editor - only because I feel I have so much to learn. Currently I edit for a local television show that broadcast on a cable network - I have been using makeshift solutions to get the job done - but would like to move into being a total professional.
Currently I have - Final Cut Studio 2 (will be upgrading to the new release in approx. 2 weeks) - 8 Core Mac Pro (upgraded video card & and extra ram)
- 23 inch Display (will purchase an additional 30" HD Display in approx. 2 weeks) -Mac Book Pro
-Adobe After Effects
I know that I need some sort of deck that can be used to put the tapes in and log and capture into final cut pro - (currently I rec. the footage on dvd and use MPEG to import the footage into Final Cut) - any recommendations on the type of deck I should get - something affordable that is universal that can be used with many types of tapes. Also I have been told that I may need a broadcast monitor - I've also been told that if I get the 30" HD display that I won't need a broadcast monitor- thoughts on this please? As a side not I have a 32 inch 720p flat screen Samsung television could this be used as a monitor? I've heard some discussion about Konika video capture card - after researching I'm still not sure I understand exactly what it's purpose is? Please help - is this something that I will need? What am I missing in my workflow? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated - thanksonly because I feel I have so much to learn<</div>
Including where to post. This here's the LiveType forum.
You don't need one deck, you need a deck specific to every kind of tape you have to use. You probably only need a DVCAM deck. If you need Beta you already know that. If you don't know that, you need to start with a basic video production class at a college or high school. That's not a service we provide here in these forums.
The 30" Apple Cinema is way more screen than you need for FCP. Save your money and just get another 23".
Konica does not make capture cards. You may be thinking of Kona, easily researched.
You may or may not need a broadcast monitor. What you need is the firm knowledge and experience to make that decision on your own.
My suggestion is to look up a video expert in your market area and prepare your management to pay them for their expertise as a consultant. Your post indicates you have way too much to learn. You can do it in books and in many hours of online research but you're going to spend more time and money doing that than you would simply by hiring someone to do the easy parts for you.

Overwhelmed... Just received my Y2P and have a few questions
Right out of the box and when I first turned it on, I had to provide them with my microsoft account in order to complete the initial boot. WHY?!?!? Is there a way to avoid this?
Chrome - the tabs and address bar are TINY, how do I change it?
Each window opened on Chrome opens up at a 100% resolution but my goodness, font is so small. I have to increase the resolution to 200%
What happened to the taskbar on the desktop to switch between tabs and windows?!
I realize there is some sort of taskbarish thing on the left side but it's not the same. I have been having difficulties with that "taskbar" to respond at the first swipe with the pointer. Closing/signing-off apps is a new adventure as there are no Xs on the upper right hand corner. UGH!
Switching to the desktop is no easy feat. Don't know where to find the Control Panel.
I feel this laptop has a huge learning curve and I feel overwhelmed. HELP!!!
With the issues reported and the learning curve involed, I feel I should just move to the macbook air.... sigh!TxLittleAngel wrote:

It's evil. You have to click the "Create a new account" link and then at the bottom of the form for creating an MSN account is a little link that says "Sign in without a Microsoft account" and that will then let you create a basic local account with a username and password and no Microsoft MSN online rubbish.
The "tiny fonts and stuff" issue has been much discussed here. You can change the Windows display scaling to make everything bigger (though some applicaitons still have issues with this) or you can run the display at a lower resolution so that everything is naturally bigger. There are a number of threads on this topic.
Everything else is just standard "Windows 8 is evil how do I get it to behave like old windows??" complaints that everyone has Apparently it IS possible to eventually get used to the Win 8 way of things but boy, is it frustrating at the start. One tip is that from the start screen you can just start typing and it will bring up the apps page and search box and most of everything is still there that you're familliar with (control panel etc.) you just have to search to find it.
There are inexpensive 3rd party utilities (from Stardock etc.) that give you back an old style Start button menu, and in 8.1 you can configure it to boot to the desktop instad of the Metro UI if you choose.

I have just installed Lion OS and Face Time encounters server problems on sign up. I have sought to rectify the firewall problem without success and even temporarily turned off firewall with no success. Any ideas?
Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
OpenDNS

I just installed iTunes 10 and all it does when I open it up is show me the software license agreement, and if I click either "accept" or "decline" it closes up and does nothing else. It does the same thing when I try to play mp3 files, just opens up the license agreement and nothing else. It also doesn't recognise my iPod touch when I plug it in, thinks it's a digital camera. Please help! (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?
And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks
Something went wrong with your upgrade.
Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. -

My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable. Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?
Nothing gets imported. Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues. If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library. At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library. -
