Looking for best way to convert 35 mm slides to digital images

Hello Apple Community,
Am researching best ways to convert several hundred 35 mm slides into digital images. There are numerous scanners/converters out there but want to ensure I get the best unit compatable with my iMac (27 inch, Late 2009). Any suggestions welcome.

For scanning 35mm slides you need a scanner with a good photometric resolution and geometric resolution.
For the photometric resolution: Get a scanner with a high density range (D-max) value, to get a good resolution of highlights and shadows.
For the geometric resolution - sharpness and detail - try to get at least 3200 dp,i to be able to get good 8"x10" prints from your scanned slides, a higher dpi value, if you want to be able to print larger images.

you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

Looking for best way to filter status or meter data from differently formatted text.

With the product we design we are able to communicate via RS-232 ports. What I'm trying to do is filter out the data that is given by multiple differnt types of products that will give similar data back, but in a differnt format. Such that in a status command I'm looking for everything to be in a non failed state. But some items will show warning, failure, #.##w(for warning), or #.##f (for fail). But the format of each product is different. Also for a meter command I'm looking for a way to filter out just the numeric value for each phase amplitude, but once again the format will be different for each product. I have been able to pull this data out easy enough for an individual product but not on a wide product range with the same VI.

Looking for best way to edit 29.97 and 25 fps footage together.

Hi everyone.
I've looked on the boards, but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.. any help is appreciated.
I'm starting a job shot in Argentina, and they shot both 25fps and 29.97fps. I believe they used DSLR cameras.
I think the delivery format is web only, but am awaiting final word.
Questions-
Do I need to convert the footage to one frame rate, or will PPro handle the different rates in the same timeline without the footage looking awkward?
Can I just have PPro interpret the media as a different frame rate?
If I need to convert, would you please recommend best software?
Would you recommend converting to 29.97 or 25?
Thanks all. Much appreciated.
Michael

I am inclined to say edit 25fps and then the dropped frames of the 29.97 should not look too bad with most footage. You mileage may vary. It really depends on the footage. It could make it look choppy. But maybe better than 25 played at 29.97 using frame blending to make new frames out of thin air.
Create your 25fps sequence from the 25fps footage. Then when you drop the 29.97 on it, it will automatically drop the frames necessary to make it 25fps.
If, however, you are going to write it to DVD, you want to do that in the PAL or NTSC settings you would normally use for wherever it is that you live.
By the way, if you interpret the 29.97 as 25 it will play back slower. Slightly slow motion. If you interpret the 25 as 29.97 it will appear fast. Once again, it depends on the footage. If you shot objects (like travel stuff), then speed is not a huge deal, but if you shot people or animals it could make a huge difference.

Looking for best way to set up multiple iPhone accounts

I already have an iPhone. Planning on getting one for my wife. I need to know the best way to setup both phones on my computer. We have separate Windows accounts on our home computer. I currently have an iTunes account on my Windows user account with some apps and the music library - with some, but not a lot of purchased music.
We also both use separate Outlook accounts for Calendar, Contacts, etc.
Should I:
- Sync both phones on my iTunes account? I imagine that would allow us to share any purchased music and apps. If so, can I point her phone to sync to her Outlook account?
- Set up a new iTunes account on her Windows account? I would import my music into her library, but I would guess that she would not be able to share my purchased music or apps
- Do something else?
Please let me know the best approach. Thanks.

Keep your separate logins, itunes accounts, outlook, etc., you can still share itunes content, as permitted under the EUSLA.
Launch itunes under your WIFE"S computer login. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, under preferences(under the edit menu), in itunes. Log your WIFE out of her itunes account, log in using YOUR account details, connect YOUR phone, DO NOT SYNC. Go up to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then, File>Transfer Purchases. Once complete, EJECT YOUR phone. Log out of itunes, log your WIFE back in. Connect HER phone, select what content you want on HER phone, hit the sync button. She likewise can transfer purchases to your account, thus you both can share content. All updates to Apps must be done using the same account originally used to obtain them. Log in, update, log out.

Looking for best way to select a list of components

I have a button that checks user input to make sure it's the right format.
I want this button to extend a debugger type window... I was wondering if there was a class that someone could recommend to me.
Inside the window being extended I want there to be a table with columns labeled "Error Message", "Input", "At", "ReplaceWith". The first three will be disabled text fields, but the fourth one i want to hold a textfield with a button... Any recommendations as to how to most efficiently implement a selectable row of components would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i could always just fake a table via a class
extending a JPanel with all the data in it & just
have an array of this class & throw those into a
bigger JPanel... if anyone knows of a better, cleaner
way to do this, please let me know.Possibly better to use JDialog with a JTable rather than JPanel since my guess is that you want to present this information in a modal way (though I could be wrong).

Looking for best way to test for a program

I like test path better. My problem is through all the different versions of office they cant all install to the same directory. Research time.

I'm writing a script that will automatically install Outlook 2010 if Office 2013, 2010, 2007, or 2003 are not installed. It's part of a script I already have each tech has to run locally due to management decisions(that I have no control over). Right now I prompt the tech if they want to install it. Then test for the installer and install it.
PowershellDo{$outlook = read-host "Would you like to install Outlook 2010? y/n" IF ($outlook -eq "y") { If (Test-Path -Path C:\Update\outlook2010) { saps -filepath C:\update\outlook2010\setup.exe -wait } Else { Write-host "Outlook is not in the update folder!" -ForegroundColor Red } }ElseIF ($outlook -eq "n") { Write-Host "Please make sure there is an email client." -ForegroundColor Yellow }}While ('y','n' -notcontains $outlook)What I would like to do is remove the prompt as it's a volume license...

Looking for a way to increase the sildeshow size in iWeb

I'm looking for a way to increase the slide show size from the pictures page in iWeb. It looks like it iPhone sized. I have tried it on 4 different computer with the same result

There's really no easy way of doing so without post publication editing of some of the support files. There were other topics earlier on this subject but no one was able to do it .
You can use 3rd party java script slideshows instead of iWeb's. Examples of some are:
Jalbum - it has over 100 themes/skins to choose from and many will let you set the size of the slideshow image. An example can be see on this demo page: Jalbum Examples.
Other options are:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
The last two are from an iPhoto plugin.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

Hi,
General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution. If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI. This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy. More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi. The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over. I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them. This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?
JP

You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level. Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

What is the best way to replay a slide?

What is the best way to replay a slide? The 'Rewind' button in the default player skins restarts the course from the begining. Is there a way to set a custom button to replay a slide without restarting the course?

Do you want it on each slide? Are you on CP7 or 6? Create a shape button: you can do it either on the master slide, or on the first slide timed for the rest of the project. Be sure to put it on top if it could be covered by other projects. Create this advanced (or shared action on CP7 if you want to reuse in future projects):

Looking for automated way to test print PnP printer after install then delete

At times we test 20 to 30 printers in a day. I am looking for automated ways to increase the efficiency of this. I would like to simply have the printer install using PnP print a test page then delete itself after the test page or on removal. Are there any settings that can be changed on the computer to change the PnP process to make this possible. I am currently trying to learn and understand the Plug and play process so that I may find out how to get started. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I spent all day Googling and doing side by side comparisons of my old and new systems.
My display is a Dell U2410. It has several presets, including sRGB and Adobe RGB. I've been using sRGB.
On my OLD system, (Win XP, PsCS2, DwCS4) there seems to be no distinction between color managed and non color managed apps, even on this wide gamut display. I could capture (digital camera) in Adobe RGB, open and edit in PsCS2, save as .psd, convert to CMYK for print, or convert to sRGB for SFW. All images looked identical and they printed and displayed perfectly. I thought this was normal, and seemed logical. This also seems to be the source of my incorrect assumptions. I was trying to get my new machine to behave like my old one.
So I get this new machine (Windows 7, PsCS5, DwCS5) and now (still in sRGB display mode) all color managed apps appear de-saturated. Non color managed apps are OK. If I switch the display to Adobe RGB, color managed apps are OK, but non color managed apps are way too saturated. From my investigation, I believe this is normal behavior on a wide gamut display. I've tried changing the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution > Advanced settings > Color Management options, but to no avail. Either I'm missing something, or Windows 7 is doing color management differently.
It seems my only option now is to use Adobe RGB display setting for Ps, etc. and switch to sRGB for Dw and non color managed apps. Or, have 2 separate files for print and web. I've Googled 'til my eyes are numb and still not sure I'm getting this. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, I don't see an edit function here, so I can't remove my previous incorrect reply. Moderator, please feel free to do so.
Thanks

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.
