Looking for easy videos to teach someone OS X

My uncle just got his first computer and I am looking for something to teach him all about his new Mac. Im thinking something like the video professor you see on tv only for Tiger.
I have seen the videos on Apples site but they are all for the ilife suite which is nice but I am looking for something with videos on the little things like how to get on the internet, how to write an email, how to move files, etc... The only other site I have found is the Atomic Learning site but there is alot of things there he will never need like automator and voiceover, etc...
I am also only looking for free videos not paid services or purchases. Thanks all!

EDIT: This reply should have been to tbharber.
There are some free video Tiger tutorials.
Also, Apple has some topics/tutorials on their Mac 101 site and Switch 101 with some QT videos.
Hope these help.

When I try to use FT on my MBP, connected to a 24" display, and close the shell, the display camera says it is not turned on. I have looked and looked for a solution. Can someone help? Thanks

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

I had a friend airdrop a video to me last week from her iPhone and I saw it on my iPhone after the upload was complete. I'm looking for the video now and can't find it anywhere on my phone. Where is it and/or is it stored on my phone?

Looking for a Tutor to teach me Photoshop CS2

I am looking for someone who can spend from 1-3 hours, in 30 minute to 1 hr intervals, teaching me some key areas of Photoshop CS2. The person needs to be in th4e United States and speak english fluently without a heavy foreign accent. I am looking for step by step, live tutoring over the phone. I have tried to use the photoshop training materials but I still don't "get" it. At a minimum, I want to learn, in detail, the following:
-learn how to extract objects from images
-learn how to change a certain color in an image to another color
-understand layers and how to break an image down into layers
-learn how to create masks and work with layers.
I will pay by the hour - hoping to get someone around 30.00/hr.
thanks
Patrick

no so much a dig at the OP as just an observation. it totally confounds me why someone would pay for what they already have. learn the terminology and what the app is capable of first by reading the manual (ANY manual, this doesn't just apply to learning photoshop), then when you can speak the lingo, you can really get your $20/hr worth of instruction because you'll be better equipped to ask relevant questions.
the axiom: there's no such thing as a stupid question applies only as far as you're not paying for answers.

Looking for Simple Video & Audio Player

Hello,
I am very new to Flash so any help would be greately appreciated. I am looking to add video and audio clips to my movie. I want the player to be a part of the movie and not just embedded in a web page. Is there a place where I can:
1. Download free players to be used within the movie
2. Get some detailed instructions on how to accomplish it.
Thanks for any help.
Craig

flash packages a fully functioning player with a variety of skins (and you can customize the skins and make your own) in the components panel called an flvplayback component.

Looking for background videos

Hello all
I'm on the hunt for various background videos, I have found IStockPhoto and Getty Images, but I was wondering what other options I may have and, was hoping for a few recommendations, I'm not really looking for anything specific cause it really all depends on what project I'm working on at the time....
Thanks

Is joke, yes?
Anyone know where I can find a red and white swirling, falling into the vortex,
There are several presets and prebuilts within Motion and LiveType.
kinda cartoony looking type
You mean text? Can't imagine text doing what you're describing without many carefully applied filters. Since the text is customized by the user, no.
background to key?
You mean key in front of? Or you want to key out the background? Huge difference and we cannot possibly read your mind.

I'm looking for a video of a good, comprehensive demonstration of what Motion 5 can do.

All I can find so far are tutorials... any suggestions?

I don't know of anything like that. What have you not been able to figure out from the Apple web page for Motion? It looks like you are using Final Cut Pro X, all of the titles, generators, transitions, templates are created in Motion. Companies like Ripple Training and MotionVFX create plug-in tools or templates that are built in Motion, so those are good places to see the capabilites in action. I know these are brief, but here are some overviews by training companies that discuss what Motion can do:
http://www.lynda.com/Motion-5-tutorials/Essential-Training/82541-2.html

http://www.rippletraining.com/categories/apple-pro-apps-tutorials/motion-5-tutor ials/getting-started-in-motion-5.html
Other than that, maybe you can explain what projects you might want to use Motion for or what capabilites you are looking for?

I have an old PowerPC dual G5 running 10.4.11 and I'm working on some HD projects at the moment, so it certainly can be done on your machine. Upgrading/extending your RAM might be a good idea though; is that possible on your machine?
If you go HD with the HF-S100, you'll need to be thinking about hard drive space; you'll need a lot of it; it's gonna add up quick. To use content from that camera (which is AVCHD format), you'll be converting it to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) to use in FCE (iMovie will be doing the same thing internally, if you use that), and the file sizes are large. I've got a 12 second clip here on my desktop from an HF100 converted to AIC that's 169MB. So do the math... If you're doing a lot of filming you'll need to have a plan for backing up and archiving...offline storage perhaps.
But otherwise I think you've got a machine that will be OK, although I wonder if you have enough RAM....

So I lost my touch at school and I looked everywhere I almost had to miss a class because i was looking for it. I think someone stole it. I looked on find my iPhone sand it said it was offline i was wondering if u can my my touch without wifi

Sure. Look for it. Otherwise, no.

Looking for easy to follow guide for building a software updates process.

I am hoping that I can get some general guidance here. I have responsibility for sccm 2012 in our environment. I also have to do exchange 2010, all Cisco networking and a few other large platforms. Needless to say it gets to difficult to get on a task and
stay focused for long periods of time. I tend to just sort of keep things running and that's all I usually have time for.
We have sccm 2012 and it's mostly used for OSD right now. I have been tasked with developing and implementing a process for critical updates across the organization. We have one primary site and three secondaries with about 2500 machines. There is no history
of doing updates here other than a previous person who used to do them via WSUS and GPO. But that has not happened for well over a year now. My problem is that I have no familiarity with doing updates via WSUS or sccm. So it's all pretty new to me. I
got Kent Agerlunds book and like his detailed approach and was hoping to just sort of adopt that process and tailor it to this environment.
I do have WSUS installed in our primary location and the SUP point on our primary and secondary servers. Things seem to be syncing fine. Now I need to try to put together a process that is easy to manage and works. The biggest problem I find is that
given I have primary ownership for a wide range of technologies in a company that is not a small mom and pop organization, it is difficult to sit down and get the necessary time to hammer this out. Everytime I sit down to work on this I feel I have to try
to learn it all over again. For some reason, probably my lack of experience with even WSUS or patching in general, they way this is supposed to work is just not sinking in effectively.
Can someone recommend a decent guide that is easy to understand and easy to follow? I find so much material out there on this topic that it gets a bit overwhelming and I spend what time I do have available jumping from document to document and not really
getting a decent foundation of how this is supposed to work.
Also, if anyone cares to chime in how they would maybe approach this task if assigned to them. Imagine and environment that has no software updates in place and basically never did. Machines are very, very outdated. I have disabled automatic updates via
a GPO ( this was recommended in the Agerlund book).
Also, since this is basically a ground zero environment should I have two focuses? One, just getting everything up to date, and then a second process for keeping things up to date?
I realize this is a really broad info dump that I'm asking for, but I find just googling and trying to figure this out ends up with a scattered bunch of links that I don't really feel help me just get started on the right track.
Thanks!

Hi,
You just need to deploy software updates to specific collections periodically, such as Automatic deployment rules, keep things up to date. Then monitor the status to make sure deployments are successful.
The following KBs describe how to plan software updates.

Looking for FCE Video Filter - "Old Movie"

I'm creating a movie where I would like to have the footage look "old"; where the film may be scratched or discolored, maybe even some dropped frames, etc...
I went through all of the video filters on FCE and didn't see anything that got me this effect. (unless I overlooked something or have to use Sepia + ?)
Any recommendations on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for the help!
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It is in the QuickTime filters which you access via :-
File>Export Using QT Conversion>Options>Filter>Special Effects.
There you will find a number of effects including the old film look, which you can customise with hairs, scratches, dust and film fading.

What is best mac mini for easy video editing? Late 2012 quad-core or late 2014 double core?

Hi!
I want to buy Mac mini and don't know which one is best for me. Please don't tell me to buy anything else, because it is my choise. I only need to know what is better:
Upgradable late 2012 version with quad core i7, 2.3GHz, 8gb of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4000
or
Non-upgradable late 2014 version with dual core i5, 2.6 GHz, 8 gb of RAM and Iris graphic card.
I do short videos with a few effects, transactions, fades, titles, sometimes add CC. So which Mac mini do you recommend, guys?

as a windows/premiere user i can only speak to the hardware. 8gb ram in either should be fine for short & simple projects. the i7 is alot better, however the hd graphics 4000 is not as good as the iris and may require running the mercury engine as software only. this means no using the video card to help premiere run faster. anything outside of premiere using the cpu for day to day tasks would also appreciate the i7. depending on the model of the iris graphics, it may be a couple times faster than the hd 4000 and therefore might work in premiere. according to adobe it lists the Intel Iris Graphics 5100 and 5200 as working System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro if you get into other adobe apps, the graphics wont matter as much and the i7 will run faster. it is faster video vs faster cpu, which to pick...

Looking for non-video Photoshop CC Tutorials

Can anyone suggest a tutorial for Photoshop CC that isnt a video? I'm new to the program and I just don't work well with video tutorials. I was wondering if buying the book for CS6 might be useful, or if it would just be pointless.
Thanks!
Dani
