Looking for a Projector

Hi, anyone with a recommendation for a projector to mirror my 17" MBP's Desktop at 1680 X 1050? I need it for software training, and it has to be portable. Maybe in a room with as many as 20 or so, each at their own Mac.
I started looking into this and couldn't believe how many different projectors there are. Would be nice if it can do HDTV as well.

Jerry - Did you decide on a projector???

I am looking for a projector to connect to my iPad for a business application.

I have an iPad that I want to connect to a projector so I can do presentations. I also need to be able to project information from a password protected business website.

Do you have iPad 1 or 2?
You can connect iPad 1 via a VGA adapter to any projector with a VGA input (all projectors have this).
You can connect iPad 2 via VGA or HDMI.
I like Epson or Sony for projectors.

Looking for iPad App for displaying photos via a projector

I'm looking for an App that will allow me to display photos using a projector yet permit manual advancing through the slides.
The included Photo app only works with the projector when in slideshow mode. As soon as I try to manually advance a photo the projector output stops.
I've seen references to Keynote but I'd rather not have to import 'x' number of photos into Keynote to be able to display them. I'm not convinced Keynote will do what I want anyway.
There's got to be an app out there somewhere that does this. Isn't there?
Thanks.

Locking the iPad so that a user can't exit an app isn't possible for any developer to implement, since the developer kit doesn't provide that sort of access to the low-level routines in iOS. The only way to lock into a single app is to use a case/frame that covers the Home button (and turn off the gesture support in the settings in iOS 5). A number of companies make kiosk mounts for this purpose.
Regards.

Road Warrior Looking for Projector Recommendation

I present using Keynote on a Macbook Pro. Frequently disappointed by client-provided projectors. Looking for recommendation for portable LCD or DLP projector with DVI input. I have many videos embedded in Keynote presentations. I use client's audio system. Audience size varies but typically around 100-150. I do teacher training workshops, sometimes in school cafeterias and other rooms that are hard to darken. Any suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated

Epson makes a Powerlight 78 <http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes& oid=63077323> which can connect via the HDMI VGA connector You should be able to find it on Amazon.

I'm looking for a new macbook laptop?

I'm looking for a macbook pro. Here is what I'm looking for:
At least 16GB of memory storage
Accessability features for vision, hearing, dislexic, & motion disabilities
A front facing built-in web camera
Can you please help me find the right macbook laptop at a reasonable price? Thank you!

A MacBook Pro is not for you, sorry.
1: Vision: OS X does not scale the UI to be more friendlier to hard of seeing users, this has been a long standing complaint. Sure you can drop the resoluton and that makes things bigger, but it also makes them blurry.
To remedy this you really need a larger screen (17" or larger) and Windows 7 (better) which has a ability to scale the UI elements larger, OS X lacks this most important feature.
In fact on Windows it's possible to hack it to make the icons and other elements even LARGER than 150%.
2: Hearing is well covered on OS X, dislexia is covered by spell checkers, however motion disabilities there is a wider range of third party compatible hardware/software for Windows than on OS X. (for just about everything)
3: Most Mac's have glossy screens, although there might be a 15" antiglare still available, it's still a 15" thus too small for hard of seeing users who need more screen real estate to scale the UI and text larger to see them.
PC's have 17" anti-glare screens, you have to look for them but they still exist, importance with a anti-glare screen is it's gentler on the eyes than glossy screens.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_system_manufacturers
If you need it to be really big, then a perhaps a antiglare screen monitor and a Windows 7 PC tower desktop would be a better arrangement, but it's not portable. I've seen some people resort to using a projector on a wall as well.
I currently use one of last remaining 17" MacBook Pro's with anti-glare screen, Apple has discontinued the model (and other models in the past few years) as they are moving towards only small tablets and devices chiefly.
With OS X requiring a upgrade annually or be denied security updates in a few years, since you require a custom configuration, it's best that it last as long as possible without expensive and problematic software changes (until 2020 with Windows 7).
So a Windows 7 machine is what you require, not a Mac.

Look for Big party Terraria PSVITA

i was so bored today so i look for join big party terraria in PSVITA add me Cambackman and put your PSN name comments so i have so fun with you guys

This is a great reminder. I too labor over my slides, sometimes way too much labor and not enough on the presentation. This is also a reminder to check out your venue BEFORE you arrive. Talk to the tech in charge if at all possible and tell him/her the system your bringing and ask if they can accommodate your requirements. I am giving 4 classes for adult continuing education at a local high school. I've had to bring my own flat screen TV because their projector was sub-par and did nothing for my slides.
Best practice if it is feasible and reasonable to go to the venue and check it out days before your presentation.
For the amount of work we put into our slides, we deserve for them to be shown at the best possible resolution.
Thanks again for the reminder.

Looking for a free stop motion software for my Macbook Pro?

Sorry if this is in the wrong category; I am new here.
I'm currently working on a 40 minute stop motion film. I've experimented with various stop motion apps, but none of them fit what I need. I'm making the film in 9 parts, and I want to be able to export each video as a .mov file and later import into FCPX to make edits and combine everything. I have the audio completely recorded and I plan to take the pictures using my Macbook Pro's built-in webcam. (This film doesn't need to be very fancy; it's for my family.)
I'm looking for something free (not a free trial) and without a watermark. Each of the 9 parts is inbetween 3-8 minutes. What do you recommend?
Thanks

I want to find a 1080p projector that I can connect my macbook pro to wirelessly and mirror what is on the screen... Or maybe a way to go about doing so, I knwo that you can mirror your iphone and ipad with ios 5 and apple tv...not sure on macbook pro? This might be too strange of a thing to be looking for but it would be so nice to eliminate wires from my life as much as possible...i.e. wireless headphones, printer, and projector (rather than a television) Anything help on this would be great! Thanks everyone!
You can do it, but are you prepared to spend? it won't be cheap. It may be cheaper than I thought.
You will need a projector with an HDMI input, and you will need a method of transmitting the HDMI signal, complete with all ancillary protocols (so HDMI 1.2 at least, 1.4 is safer) via wireless. That means way more bandwidth than 2.4 or 5G wireless can offer.
I have had success with the TruLink 60Ghz WirelessHD transmitter/receiver, 30ft range (20 is more 'real world') 1 hdmi in and 1 hdmi out, so they replace the cable. Last pair I bought were $600, but I just saw that Amazon have them available at $141 ....
However these are line of sight devices, no motion and no obstruction between the pair or fuzzzzzz

Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers. Purchased movies show up just fine. What to do or look for?

I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2. I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer. However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv. I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies.
What do I look for? What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

Answer to my own question:
Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac. This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
Finally, it showed up on my apple tv. Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

Looking for a Darknet/Secure BBS app

I have been a fan of Haxial KDX for the longest time, but due to the bugs, etc., I would like to move on. I'm looking for a secure darknet/bbs styled program that supports chat, filesharing, and of basic user management (who can login, who can't, etc..). I have been asking this question all over the web, and haven't gotten (or found) a single response. Waste has never worked right for me, by the way. I would definitely prefer it to be open source, which is why I thought it best to post here. Please help out, or at least direct me somewhere where I should ask... Thanks.
As an aside, the guy who wrote KDX and Hotline (Adam?? Hinckley) claimed on the Haxial website that he is willing to sell the project. I wouldn't mine purchasing and restarting the KDX Project, but I've been unable to get in contact with him. So...if you are him, or know him, or own the rights to Haxial KDX and all related projects...$$$$$

I've recently become a big fan of OneSwarm - http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu - I like that it supports remote access.
But I'm definitely interested to see what this thread brings up!

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

Looking for a real photo editing app.

I'm looking for something that can precisely resize and crop. None of this slider bullcrap where you can't get pixel level precision. I'd like to be able to crop at exactly 640x960 for example, or resize to exactly 820x620, etc.. Something that can do non destructive edits and that can save a jpeg without compressing it so much that image quality is noticably less. Photogene2 is great (nice edit features and good quality saves) but it can't crop or resize exactly by the pixel. Phototoaster is great (nice edit features and non destructive edits) except it can't crop and resize by the pixel. How hard would it be to provide numerical inputs for crops and resizes? Is there anything out there really worth buying that can do these essential tasks?

Looking for a high-res drawing app for the iPad

I've tried a few of the available iPad drawing apps like Sketchbook Pro and Brushes. It's a little hard to tell, because documentation tends to be short on details, but it appears that most of them (with the exception of Brushes) only let you work and export images at 1024 by 768 resolution. That isn't really high enough resolution for professional work.
Brushes is the only exception I've found. You work on the iPad in Brushes at 1024 by 768, but they have this OS X app that can convert your exported images to a higher res.
To me that's crazy awkward and time-consuming, and I think Brushes is OK as a drawing app, but not necessarily what I'm looking for.
Can anyone give me some better insight into the matter?
Is there some underlying technical reason that all of these apps have a hard limit of 1024 by 768 resolution?
Is there an app other than Brushes that can produce pro-level (high resolution) image files on the iPad?
Thanks,
JS
