Learning to use a Mac- where are the video tutorials?

I am an old PC user, converting to this sleek machine after loving my iphone. but I am really struggling to understand all the new conventions, keystrokes, and shortcuts. I can't even really understand safari- there is no "web address" window at the top, so I go to google for everything.
Are there not video tutorials somewhere on my machine? reading the articles is hard to do if I don't see the interface.

Doctormark,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. Here is some great information that will make your transition smoother. I would recommend going through these in order.

Where are the video tutorials I saw generated from the PhotoShop CS.5 Installation Disc?

Where are the video tutorials I saw generated from the PhotoShop CS.5 Installation Disc? How to work on a face, New to CS5, How to strip in a background? etc. Very helpful. Want to get started here.

Thank you Curt Y. You're right. They're there. The tutorials are so smart. Don't know why they didn't download. With video tutorials "Live time" experts fumble themselves giving a perfect means for the user to absorb the "logic" of how the PhotoShop function thinks. There's no other way. Only a robot can, wants to, is motivated by boring line by line written description. I rather eat gravel than try and follow "line by line." line-by-line = ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Have a great holiday season, whereever you are, whatever you celebrate. Trexlorx.

Where are the videos taken by iphone stored in iphoto?

I've taken a number of videos and still photos with my iphoto but only the still photos appear in Iphoto. Where are the visdeos stored and how can I retrieve them?

How are you moving the photos from your Phone to iPhoto?
What version of iPhoto?
By default everything you import into iPhoto is stored in the iphoto library - What do you mean by "how do I retreive" them?
To use videos in iMovie launch imovie and import the videos to iMovie
To use them with other programs select them in iPhoto and export with kind = original (see the user tip on exporting for more information on the current options in exporting)
What exactly are you haveing problesm with and what exactly do you want to accomplish?

FSG using Report Manger - Where are the reports stored?

I am able to configure the FSG in GL, and use Report Manager to produce PDF/Excel output.
Where are these reports physically stored? Are they in a database or in a file system? If so, what is the location?
Thanks.

hi,
Starting 11i, the reports are stored in table FND_LOBS and some relevant Entries are made in the FND_DOCUMENTS_TL table.
The packages used for storing and retrieving the reports are FND_DOCUMENTS_PKG and ADI_DISPLAY_REPORT.
RG_REPORT_REQUEST_LOBS stores the XML output associated with each Financial Statement Generator request that is run in XML mode.
The XML output is used for drilldown purposes.
For further Information on Report Manager see also:

Where are the video files?.

Forum,
I am very confused,not sure I have even entered the subject question correctly.
The MBP will not capture directly to external drive,a former post to the forum has advised me to purchase a firewire card.
Therefore I have captured to a partition on the internal drive.
No problems.
I then dragged the file from the internal partition to the external drive,a green cross appeared which I understand indicates the file has transfered to the external drive.
However when I examine space used on the external drive it is only 157Mb.
Clearly a 30 minute video uses 6 Gb.
I can see that information in the internal partition.
Now what I can not understand is when I choose the file in FCP to enter into the viewer it tells me it is offline.
Thinking it may be in the external drive,despite knowing that it can not be stored in 157 Mb.I start up the external drive.
Now the clips come to life and I can drag them into the viewer and proceed.
So, where is the 6Gb. file?
Why do I need to start up the external drive when the file is not there,or is it.
Some time ago Studio X advised me it is better to enter video files onto an external drive.
So I have taken his advice because he obviously knows what he is talking about.
Any way there is not space to store all my video files on the internal partition,the OS and applications take up 85 Gb. so that means 100Gb. allowing for 10% head room, only about 38 Gb. for video files.
The information I have entered about my kit is accurate.
If my post appears pedantic,forgive me,but so many posters are asked to clarify or give more information.
I hope I have supplied all information required.
Thank you
Michael Craven.

David,
Thank you for your reply.
Your information in paragraph 1 is noted with interest and added to my information book.
I have carried out the steps you suggested in paragraph 2.
157 Mb. is still shown.
When I open the file in Quick time, the following statement appears "The movie could not be opened,The file is not a movie file"
Well to press on I deleted all files from the internal drive partition named "video files" That partition is empty.
So,back to the iomega external drive.
Opened the file "Georgie and her kittens'.
FCP opens and shows the eight clips of that video.
Double click, select "show in the viewer" and they appear in the viewer.
Obviously the video files are on the external drive. I think.
I must have had doubts that a transfer of 6 Gb. from the internal drive to an external drive was so quick.
The iomega external drive shows "extended (journaled)"
In a later post reply Ken Summerall sugests "journaled' slows down information selection.
How do I remove " journaled"?
Should I pose that question in another post?
Thank you for your help.
Michael Craven.

VICE-gnome: Where are the video settings?

I'm trying to get vice-gtkglext from the aur to work.
I managed to build it but the result has all video settings missing: No 'double size', no 'video settings' and ALT+D for fullscreen just replaces the menu with black borders.
I haven't use vice in a long time so it might have changed but I distrinctly remember those settings. As it is I can't get anything bigger than the tiny default window of some 400 by 300 pixels.
Is there a problem with my build or has VICE just hidden the video settings?

Syncing pictures and videos from pc to iPad. Where are the videos stored?

Can't find my videos on iPad. Where are they?

They should be either in the Videos or Photos app; if not you could try spotlight searching for them.

Where are the video's stored on my iPhone 4s?

I was looking on my iOS5 4s "SETTINGS/ABOUT" and there it says my phone has 12 videos on it. Where can if find out where these videos are and how can I delete them?
Are these vieos that have been taken with the on-baord camera or also files that have been downloaded via email attachments?
Thanks.

The number will include any videos that you've synced to the iPhone from your computer's iTunes, which should show in the Vidoes app :
They can be deleted directly on the iPad by swiping across their name which should then give you a Delete button. Any films that you've bought from iTunes can only be downloaded once, so before you delete them on the phone make sure that you've got a copy on your computer.
It also includes videos that you've taken with the phone or saved from emails, which should be in the Photos app :
They can be deleted in Photos either via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view, or via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the video in full screen

Where are the videos I recorded on my ipod touch?

How can I find them on my computer ? Thanks

If you’re on a PC, go to My Computer and look for “Scanners and Camera”. You should see your iPhone there. Double-click on it and and save your photos and videos to the desired location.
If you’re on a Mac, open the Image Capture app. It will recognize both pictures and videos recorded with your iPhone. Drag and drop the video where you want to save it and that’s it.

Where are the alleged tutorials?

Hi all,
I'm about to take the plunge and try Logic Express (at least I'm 99% sure I'm going to). I'm hoping that the new waveform editing within the arrange window will make it a little more like ProTools. Ideally, if I could get Soundtrack Pro for the same price as Logic Express, I'd already have it by now.
Anyway, in reading about Logic Express and downloading the 27 page .pdf overview, I see on page 26 it says something about "approximately one hour of online video tutorials...to view the tutorials visit www.apple.com/logicexpress/tutorials."
But there's no such page. It just brings me to the main Logic Express page. I know there are tutorials at MacProVideo and on YouTube, but I figured if Apple had 'em, I'd go there first. Am I just looking in the wrong place or do they not exist?

Apple Logic tutorials do not exist at this point in time. Hopefully they will in the future.
For now, MacProVideo, Groovebox, YouTube, and Lynda.com are some of the best options available.

Where are the Java Tutorials' discussions?

Greetings,
I've been following the "Learning the Java Language" online training under the Java Tutorials for several weeks now. After a few days away, I noticed today that the users' comments, questions and compliments section at the bottom of each page is now gone.
What happened? Did I accidentally change some settings in my browser or were they removed by SUN itself?
Thanks in advance for the clarification

I would guess that Oracle took them out--just in case you have not noticed: there really isn't any "Sun" any more.

When I sync, I have a number of videos and "other" that take a lot of space. Where are the videos that are synced ... there are no movies or music videos? Also what is "other"? Thanks

I am unable to find any videos. Where should I look? I do not want to sync them; they are large files.
The same question applies to "other." What is it and where do I find "other?"
Thank you.

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

Where are the video settings for mpeg4 in CS6?

Hi,
I have used Adobe Premiere since 2002. Most of the time it has been with DV footage. I have a new canon camcorder and am shooting 1080 MPEG4 at 24MBps, at 30P.
In Adobe Premiere CS6 I do not see a setting for MPEG4. Which setting do I select for what I am shooting?
Thank you.

OffTopic Question: How are the Video Tutorials Produced?

Hi all,
I'd like to produce my own Aperture tutorials for my employees. Which software do I use? Can this be done with Final Cut or iMovie?
Thanks & Sorry for the little off-topic post.
Thx.

Are you aware that Richard Harrigen, co author of Apple's Apeture training series, has a podcast on how-to for Aperture?
Also there are 50 or so training and feature on Apple's site?
