Low quality music from OVI music store.

My nokia X6 was replaced today. And in my replaced phone i signed in with my OVI unlimited account, the subscription got extended for 7 months and i found that all the songs which i download from my phone were of 64kbps whereas i download from my computer than all the songs are larger in size and better quality.
Can anybody help me. Is there any option to increase quality or smething like that ?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?
That's it...
I've an old file without it's links folder, I was wondering If there was any way to extract low quality images from it to relink them.

@Bernardo – you could export the graphic frame that holds the low res preview to e.g. PNG.
But I would *NOT* re-link them! Place them anew in case someone has geometrically transformed (cropped, rotated, skewed, mirrored) the original ones. Keep in mind that by exporting graphic frames to PNG, fill and stroke properties together with applied effects are exported as well.

Can I add an extra lower quality music library to iTunes for iPhone syncin?

Hi
I currently have my whole iTunes library in Apple Lossless format as I like the high quality for my AppleTV and don't mind the extra HD space it takes up. However, it means that the files are really too big for the limited 8GB capacity of my new iPhone.
Question - can I set up a seperate area/seperate Music Library/seperate folder (whatever), where I can duplicate my entire current iTunes Music Library at a lower quality setting, specifically for use when syncing to my iPhone?
1. How would I duplicate to a lower quality?
2. How do I set up a seperate area for these lower quality files that will sync to iPhone?
3. Could I automate the CD ripping process so that it placed a file in each of the seperate areas (big ask that one)?
Kind regards,
Garglon

1. Go to iTunes Preferences>Advanced>Importing
Select Import using <AAC encoder> Setting <Custom>
Select the music you want to duplicate and add it to a playlist so its easier to find
Select all music to duplicate again right click and select Convert Selection to AAC
2. Close iTunes. Open iTunes holding the option key
It will ask you if you want to create a new library or open an existing one. Select create library
Add the new lower quality songs to the library
You can add the original songs first to this new library >>> then convert >>> and after the conversion remove the original songs from the library(just from the library do not move them to trash)
You can also just create a new playlist with the lower quality songs but then you would have duplicates in your library
3 You would have to import the songs from the CD twice
a. Once in the good quality library(by changing the import settings back from the low quality)
b. Then open the new library change the import settings and import again
An easy way to find the newly created files is adding a new smart playlist with the rules:
Playlist is Music
Limit to <how many songs you are duplicating> <items> selected by <most recently added>

Low quality prints from OSX Yosemite

Hello ladies and gents,
I bought a new colour laser printer yesterday: the Samsung SL-C460WXpress.
I installed the latest OS X drivers and software which I downloaded from the Samsung website. I did the same thing for my Windows machine.
The problem:
When I print from my MBPR with OS X Yosemite, I have barely any options. I can't select the print quality, I can't select the type of photo paper, I basically miss every single option necessary to make good photo prints. As a result, the photos come out granular and of low quality.
When I print from my Windows machine, I can setup my print properties. E.G. paper type (thick, photo matte, photo glossy, etc.), print quality (normal, photo, etc.) and what not. When I set the properties to 'photo' the prints come out amazing.
I don't want to send back the printer, just because OS X is lacking in functionality. Is there anything I can do? Or am I stuck with eithre Windows, or changing printer?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yours,
Danny

Your initial post was very clear. My response to you was based on your statement of...
When I print from my MBPR with OS X Yosemite, I have barely any options. I can't select the print quality, I can't select the type of photo paper,
My recommendation of contacting the manufacturer and/or reading the user manual still stands if repairing permissions does not work. On some printer/scanners not all of the printer options work in Yosemite. Reason why you need to confirm directly from the manufacturer if the user manual does not state so.
kahjot has already provided you w/repairing permissions instructions.

Low quality graphics from screenshots

I did some full screen screen shots to use in Keynote (using apple + shift 3). These are pict files which look perfectly fine when I open them in preview. I then dragged and dropped them into Keynote, and both in preview mode and when I play the show, the graphics appear fuzzy and low quality - as if they are JPEGs converted to the lowest quality setting.
Any fix for this? Other than that KN works great and its easy to use. But these graphics are really bad.
[ Imac G5/ 20 in / 2 g ram : monitor at 1680x1050]

Why are they saved as picts? I save mine as PNG and they look fine in Keynote. You could also use TIFF or PDF and those should look pretty good too. I think the problem is that other images scale much better than pict does.
If you want to try changing the format, instructions are here.

Two tips, if you JUST need to capture a window (so that you can show JUST the area in the window of the tool you're working on) use appleshift4 to turn the cursor into a cross hair then mark off the area you want captured. Also, appleshift4 and THEN pressing space will turn the cursor into a camera so that you can capture the full window without worrying about missing any edges.

Low-quality DVD from SD files

I'm new to Premiere Pro CS5, and I'm having difficulty creating a good-quality DVD from my SD footage. It may be because my video is too long (2 hr. 14 min.), but I thought maybe I was doing something wrong.
I've done similar things (DVDs from plays I've recorded, with the same camera) using different software, and the final quality was better. However, for various reasons, the old software isn't working well any more and I'm making the switch to PP.
I've included some technical details below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
Original footage:
Shot on Panasonic DVX 100B, SD: 720x480 (0.9091), 23.976 fps (24p)
Captured as .avi files using Premiere Pro
Edited in Premiere Pro CS5 64bit (ver.5.0.3)
Total video length: 2h:14m
Sample of .avi footage, original size:
400% magnification:
Dynamic linked to Encore (ver.5.0.0.5)
Added 2 menu screens with a small jpg on each
1st try: Transcoded using Automatic settings
(DVD Transcode in Properties dialog). Quality was awful -- faces very blotchy.
2nd try: Changed DVD Transcode to:
NTSC DV 23.976 Hi-Qual 7Mb VBR 2 pass
Quality didn't improve.
3rd try: Specified a 2-sided DVD to give it more room. (I don't have a 2-sided DVD, but I thought I could burn it onto 2 DVDs). The transcoded file size increased (6.89GB m2v file), but the quality didn't really improve.
Sample of m2v footage, original size:
400% magnification:
It's a 3-act play, and my next thought was to try to do Act 1 as one file, on one DVD, and Acts 2 & 3 (shorter) as a separate project on a 2nd DVD. Blu-Ray isn't an option, unfortunately.
Thanks!

Jeff,
As I just posted, it turns out that Dan's instructions about HC Encoder were the ones that basically got me what I needed. However, I really appreciate your suggestions, and I wanted to post my test results and procedure, in case it's helpful to anyone (or if I need it again).
Regarding your test scenarios, I started on two different sequences: one set up as DV 24P, and the other as DV NTSC. My detailed notes are below -- too much to read, unless you're interested how it all turned out.
Thanks again,
Jon
Test 1: Playing in the Premiere Program Window
A. On DV 24P sequence:
   1. Leave Interpret Footage parameters at current settings. Quality OK
   2. Change just the "Remove 24p DV Pulldown" setting. Quality Terrible
   3. Change just the Field Order setting to Progressive. OK
   4. Change both the Remove and LFF settings. OK, but w/ interlace combing
B. On DV NTSC sequence:
   1. Leave Interpret Footage parameters at current settings. Quite bad
   2. Change just the "Remove 24p DV Pulldown" setting. Worse
   3. Change just the Field Order setting to Progressive. Quite bad
   4. Change both the Remove and LFF settings. Lots of combing
So, after this round, DV 24P sequence was best, either w/ default settings, or making field order progressive.
Test 2: AVI export
Created a split-screen test clip, on DV 24 P sequence, with no change on left, and change of setting from LFF to progressive on right (A1 & A3 above, which were the best after the first round).
Exported to avi files, using:
1. NTSC DV 24P preset, DV (24P Advanced) codec
2. Lagarith codec, progressive
3. Lagarith, LFF
Played avi file on Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player.
Not a lot of discernible difference among the three files.
Test 3: HC Encoder
Created *.avs fils for each of 3 test files (using Dan's directions), plus original avi (captured directly from the camera)
(Note: HC Encoder doesn't like file names with spaces or underscores,apparently.)
1. NTSC: couldn't open
2. Input for encoding OK
3. Input for encoding OK
4. Original avi couldn't be decompressed
So, the lagarith-encoded files work fine with HC Encoder, but I still have interlace combing artifacts - throughout Act 2, and at the curtain call for Sat (when the background is lighter -- is that significant?), and throughout (but not completely) Acts 2 & 3 for Fri (all on one tape). Act 1 either night doesn't appear to have a problem.
Looking at the original captured footage (in MPC and Win Media Player), there is no interlacing problem, so it appears to be an issue with PP.
Previewing the files in PP (before putting them in a sequence), there is no interlacing problem.
When creating a new sequence, I tried: New Sequence, General, Playback Settings button, choose "Repeat Frame (ABBCD)" rather than "Interlaced Frame" (the default).
This sort of fixed the problem -- no more combing, EXCEPT at the curtain call -- the very end of tape 3. The other footage that was combing is now a little softer -- kind of annoying, but I applied an Unsharp Mask filter (default settings), and it helped. (I also tried Auto Color, to see if it would quickly help the color. Not a good move: the color changes sometimes frame by frame, and all black becomes gray static. Obviously, I need to understand what that does next time I try to use it.)
I decided to live with the combing at the end. (It was "good enough" at that point -- not a commercial project.) At least I've learned a lot.
I put the .h2v and .aac files into Encore, created some menus and built it to a folder, to test the files one more time before committing them to plastic. It all looked good. Then, for one more hurdle, Encore didn't like my DVD burner ("unknown error"!) It worked last week! However, I used a different burner, since I had the DVD files already, and it worked fine. Phew!
I'd love to know what the interlace combing at the end was about. My only guess it that it may be because I was using a sort-of-cheapo DV tape, recording over it for the third time. Maybe the tape was a bit stretched or something and the frames got out of synch at the very end. (?) If anyone has ideas, I'd be interested.

M1522 Low Quality Printing From Mac On Network

We have a HP LaserJet M1522nf MFP on our network. It is used by both Macs and PC's without much problem. But the quality from the Macs are really poor verses the Windows running XP or W2K. If I print a web page on the Mac, it looks jaggy & dim, like I've got the printer on lowest quality printing. I print the very same web page from one of the PCs and it comes out beautiful. Crystal clear. I've installed the latest software from HP download site with no change. I've tried printing with generic PS driver with no improvement. I've tried different programs. The problem is not program specific.
PLEASE HELP. I can no longer print documents to my colleague's printer which is a big hinderance to productivity. This is the first HP printer that has given me any problem with cross platform issues.

After trying lots of suggestions from here and the HP forums, I finally called HP and they walked me through the usual steps, which included some manual uninstalls of HP prefs & frameworks then reinstalling the printing software. None of that helped. They finally had me reset the printer to the factory defaults. (Power Up with the Down Arrow and Cancel buttons pressed at the same time) That did the trick. If there were any settings for quality set manually on the printer they only affected the Mac printing AND were not overridden by settings in the Mac print dialog that would suggest that they could be overridden. Seems to me something isn't operating quite like it should.
But... HP helped me fix it and for that I'm grateful.

OVI Music and Nokia Music store login issues

Hi,
Yesterday Nokia rebranded Nokia Music store to OVI Music in India. Earlier I had Nokia Music Store account as OVI login was not supported in Nokia Music store.
So my Nokia Music account and OVI login were different.
Now when login to music.ovi.com and select India as country , I am asked to login.
I can login with my OVI id but then dont see remaining tracks and download history.
I login with my older Nokia Music account and I can see remaining tracks and History.
Some of my friends report that in their case , their Nokia Music and OVI account are merged and tracks and history details are still there.But this has not happened in my case.
Please let me know when Nokia will be able to merge 2 accounts for me. or is there any way I can do it myself? I know that similar thing happened for OVI share and Sports Tracker accounts but they were eventually merged with single OVI account.
Best Regards,
Suyog

I have replied this in other thread too-
"Me too having same issue, i got an email from nokia music that our older usernames have been changed with OVI at the end of old username and password remaining the same. As soon as you receive this email u can see your download history of earlier . and i tried to login by my friends account too by putting OVI at the end of username, the balance of tracks was there but download history is not there. So i think we all have to wait for that email to come from nokia music care to confirm about our account being updated with download history."

Music Store Video quality on 30" HD display poor???

I am starting to check out the downloadable Music Store videos and Pixar films, etc.
When playing them, the resolution is poor. It is similar to what happens on my HiDef Plasma in the family room when not playing an HD signal.
I would have thought that since the source is Apple Music Store, playing on an Apple display, that this would not be the case. Do I have a setting wrong for this?
Thanks for your input!

This answer is also for your other question about watching TV on a big monitor....
The resolution of video from iTunes is very very very embarrassingly horribly outrageously low (320x240) compared to your huge Apple LCD. So when you stretch it larger or make it full screen, it will look very poor. TV resolution is slightly higher than iTunes videos, but you still run into the same problem of stretching low resolution video to fit on a high resolution screen. The problem isn't as bad on plasma and other TVs because their resolutions aren't as high as the Apple LCD, and thus don't have to be stretched as much. It's like taking a small picture and enlarging it, at some point it'll look horrible.
The only way for iTunes video and TV to look clear and sharp is to view them at their native resolution, meaning you have to view them at 100% (or stretching to 200% at most), which will appear as a small window on your large LCD.

No search in new Ovi Player - Music Store tab

I like the new colors and the functionality of the new Ovi Player. It's faster than the old version, and the initial hiccup with the unstartable version is resolved, but it seems somebody in the development dep't got dazed by the new design and forgot about the functionality.
There's no Search box when you're in the Music Store tab, which means you can't search for music when you're on the store tab...
The browser verision has the search tools above the main store.
I seem to remember there was a search control in the old Nokia Music ver 1.3 above the store window, but I'm sure it's quite gone now

hello, first please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

Failure to access music store via ovi player!!

Has anyone any idea how i get this system back online. In the Ovi player I click the Ovi Music tab, but only get the following message now.
We are very sorry but we cannot access the music store at this time
Please check your internet connection or try again later.
Worked fine up until the 23rd December.
Thanks for all your support.
MBK

I'm sorry but I get this almost every time myself and the whole service can't be trusted, I'd recommend just not using it whatsoever as it just can't cope with demand, as I was unable to download two albums I purchased either and this was because of the same error and neither the PC or mobile software seems to be able to cope with downloading from the service and I think the servers aren't able to cope.

How to download music from ovi without voucher

i have c6-00 which is not a unlimited music edition phone. I want to download songs from ovi
so can you tell from where i can get voucher to buy music

Which country are you in? In most countries, use a PC to log in to the Nokia Music store and buy "credits" there using a supported debit/credit card.
You can also buy your music elsewhere (any music service that sells tracks as MP3 or AAC files will do; e.g., iTunes or Amazon or Napster music will work on your phone, too).

Question on songs download from ovi music & compat...

Hello,
I downloaded few songs from OVI Music. can I play these music on my car stereo using USB drive ? essentially is there a license tied to playing the dowloaded songs on any other system other than Nokia phone ?
Any inputs will help.
Thanks
Venks

Just basing on my observations. I've also tried downloading a few files from Ovi (not sure if that's Ovi Music or Ovi Store).
I notice some files have the .DM file extension -- these files appear to be DRM (digital rights management) protected, and presumably won't be playable elsewhere but the Nokia device.
Other files like MP3 or MP4 would likely be playable in other players (eg car players) assuming that file format is supported to be playable on the external player.

HT2731 how do you enable cookies from the iTune store so I can download music

how do one enable cookies from the iTunes store so I may download music?

Search for music and then buy it.
If you already have music you want to import to the iPhone, connect it to your computer and open the iTunes application on the computer, and start a sync (in the lower right of the window).
